Civilization Guardian Front

How could Hestia believe such an obvious lie.

With blue eyes, Chu stared at the young man's upright, lustrous and moist fleshy column, and his breathing accelerated involuntarily.

"Obviously...huh...it's so...hah, full of energy."

Facing Hestia who seemed to be stuck in place by magic, Chios sighed secretly.

Is this a side effect of being too charismatic...

never mind...

Anyway, he's in good shape.

"It seems that you still have more to say..."

The young man got up from the reclining chair, grabbed the bath towel on the low table beside him, took out the dagger out of thin air, cut off the part that was stained with the blood of the goddess, drew runes with the sword finger, and burned the remaining cloth to ashes.

He was embarrassed to use a sword.

Ruru and Lili, whose views on love are far from those of human beings, are fine, but the problem is Fei Fei...

If Chios used her to cut this kind of thing, he would probably write the cross-section of the long sword with luminous words full of jealousy for several days in a row, and vibrate the sword body day and night to make a "humming" sound to vent Dissatisfied.

Humph...

Fortunately, I was witty, and when I entered the bathroom, I put the Light Eater into the heraldry space in advance to isolate the three sisters from the outside world.

Without any worries, Chios took a step forward, stuffed a palm-sized piece of blood-stained cloth into Hestia's small mouth, and turned the goddess roughly to the ground.

Without relying on the assistance of the hands, the stem deftly locks onto the target and presses against the goddess's muddy hole.

"Time is limited, let's be more intense."

As soon as the words fell, under Hestia's astonished gaze, the back of Chios' hand shone with silver light...

Swish!

The atmosphere gathers and pushes the youth's body to accelerate.

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

...

10 minute later...

The neatly dressed Chios and Hestia walked out from the east door of the independent building.

Originally, there was nothing but gardening and landscaping in the courtyard, but now there are two long tables and twelve seats.

In the center of the table without any cutlery, there are sumptuous dishes prepared by members of the Hestia family. On both ends of the table, there are ice buckets for chilled sparkling wine and wine bottles.

Chios walked to the long self-service table, stuck the wine bottle on the back of his hand, and judged that the temperature was close to 8°C. Then he unscrewed the wire covering the cork, pressed the top of the bottle with his right thumb, and slowly turned the bottle with his left hand.

The correct way to open champagne and sparkling wine is not to shake it and let the cork bounce off with a "bang".

Instead, the bottle is opened quietly without making a sound.

Nourishing...

With the slight sound of gas exhausting, the youth gracefully removed the cork.

Tilt the wine bottle, pour the light golden liquid into the slender goblets, stop precisely at 1/3 of the height, pick up the wine glass close to the tip of the nose, and then take a shallow sip.

(Well, the taste is a little thin, need to wake up for 10 minutes...)

Having made this judgment in his mind, he put the wine bottle aside and placed it at room temperature, and said to the girls who were busy cleaning the sink and scrubbing the kitchen utensils:

"Thanks for your hard work."

Hearing Chios' voice, the members turned their heads one after another.

""Master Hestia, head of the regiment. ""

Only Nazha and Jita were present, their noses moved slightly, and they were keenly aware of something strange.

Dogs have a very keen sense of smell.

sniff...

Gita, who has no relevant experience, looks puzzled.

New body wash?

It has a faint fishy smell, which idiot made it...

Another canine person, however, was less innocent.

Nazha, who was very familiar with this smell, had put the source of the smell in her mouth more than once, trembling all over.

Then, she gave Chios a hard look.

Chapter 660? The Mystery of Chios' Life Experience

into the night...

"Traveler's Place"

This building with low-key interior and exterior decoration, which looks no different from the tavern in the western block, is the headquarters of the Hermes family in Orario.

In fact, Traveler's Inn is indeed open to the outside world, and from time to time accepts some stores entrusted by gods, adventurers, and residents.

Like the Ishtar family running a brothel business...

For a faction whose core business focuses on intelligence gathering, a lively tavern that is easy to lower one's guard is undoubtedly the most ideal base.At the same time, the extra income it brings can also provide new members with better equipment and medicines without burdening the superior cadres.

Today, the store is as crowded as ever.

Usually, Hermes, who came back from a trip, would always chat with people in the hall with a glass of wine.

However, at this moment in the tavern lobby, there was no trace of the god.

"Why don't you write the real doubts found in the Northland into the report, and only mention some unimportant things?"

In the office on the top floor of the hotel, a beautiful blue-haired woman wearing silver-rimmed glasses frowned and asked.

"..."

Hermes closed his eyelids as if thinking.

After a long time, he paused as if dozing off.

Hearing his steady breathing, Yasifei's eyelids twitched slightly, she reached into her pocket, and pulled out a short knife.

Boom!

Sensing the threat, Hermes instantly jumped up from his seat and took several steps back.

Seeing the dagger that was submerged two inches into the desk, the handle trembling due to the remaining force of the shock, he immediately raised his hands in surrender, and said with a smile on his face:

"Don't throw something so dangerous suddenly, Asfi."

"Then please don't get away with pretending to be asleep..." Ya Sifei said in a cold tone.

"At the beginning you offered to assist in the investigation of Chios Pesheim's life experience, and you did not hesitate to rummage through the ice and snow yourself, but in the report you handed over to Lord Hestia, there was no mention of those abnormalities at all. In vain What are you thinking, even violating your integrity to your customers?"

"Well~ As far as the results are concerned, solving the gap between Hestia and Chios is considered a good deed, so it shouldn't be in vain, right?"

Hermes smiled and waved his hands.

"If you really think that way, there is no need to intervene in the first place, and I don't have to stay up for several days to make targeted investigation props."

Ya Sifei pressed the back of her hand to her forehead, and couldn't stand the Lord God's play of being stupid while avoiding the seriousness.

On the single sofa next to the fireplace, the deputy leader Falgar also folded his arms and stared at the main god, silently stating that he was in line with the leader.

Just because he worked as a guard and ran with Hermes, in the process of digging out the truth, he felt all kinds of things that were wrong.Therefore, he especially couldn't understand why the Lord God made such a decision.

Though the worst case scenario shouldn't be taken too far as the only possibility.

But if it is completely concealed, what is the point of investigating...

Facing the pressure from his head and deputy head, Hermes restrained his smile a little.

"The reason is actually not complicated. I don't want all of you to die in a maze or a dark alley tomorrow."

Sitting lazily back to his original position, he picked up the original report on the table that was one-third thicker than the one handed to Hestia at noon.

Finding out Chios' life was not easy at all.

In the northern country isolated from the outside world, no matter whether the court nobles or the village farmers, they have no memory of the name Chios Pesheim.

The pronunciation of the surname does not conform to the language and writing habits of the region at all.

This means that the name Chios currently uses may have been changed after he left his hometown...

The clues that were scarce at first suddenly became almost non-existent.

Hermes could only visit the castles of the lords of the northern counties one by one, and consult the records left over the past ten years.

After a lot of hard work and repeated comparisons, I finally found a record that roughly matched the age, experience, and ability of the person involved.

Two years ago, a family of knights who could not be called noble, but passed down through generations, was massacred by a bandit gang composed of defeated deserters. Only the eldest son, who went out to patrol the territory in the early morning, was spared.

The returning young knight saw the burnt home and the tragic death of his relatives, so he chased and killed them angrily, and finally found a large number of enemies in a valley.

Such a tragic event, and it is a major event that has happened in recent years, presumably the local residents will be deeply touched.

However...

When Hermes asked the nobles and villagers in the county about this matter, the response he got was a bit strange.

The plots recorded in the text are vividly told as if they were personally on the scene, but they can't remember many details of the life of the person concerned, and there are obvious faults in the memory.

It seems that the knight family is not people who live in the same time and space background as them, but a character in some ancient legend.

Puzzled by this inexplicable sense of incongruity, Hermes went on a field visit to the location of the incident.

"Dendersberg Hills"

"Valley of Piercing"

The former is the base of the knight family, and the latter is where the stakes run through the deserters.

Using magic tools made by Asfi to analyze the blood on the weapons used by the dead at the scene, it was found that blood belonging to the same person remained on the blades of at least fourteen weapons.

Specific blood reactions, more to something...

stakes.

57 stakes, all stained with homologous blood.

It is impossible for a deserter to make a torture device that runs through himself, even if he is really stupid to do such a thing, he will not be so boring as to smear someone's blood on every stake.

It is reasonable to infer from this...

The young knight who succeeded in revenge probably died on the same day.

Fighting alone with dozens of soldiers who have received training and been on the battlefield inevitably caused him to be seriously injured.

Estimate the amount of blood loss based on the bloodstains left on the stake. Even a first-level adventurer will never walk out of the valley alive without using panacea-level potions.

It was incredible to be able to last until he had cut all the stakes and pierced every enemy.

Unfortunately, Hermes failed to find the eight bones in the valley, lacking conclusive evidence to draw conclusions.

Based on the above clues, Hermes came up with two possibilities...

First, the well-known "Chios Pesheim" is indeed the knight with a tragic life experience. He miraculously recovered from his serious injury, left the valley, traveled around, and finally came to Orario.

Second, "Chios Pesheim" is a counterfeit who replaces the experience of the dead. With carefully woven lies, he deceived hundreds of thousands of citizens and the gods of the heavens. His real identity is unknown.

At this point, Hermes hoped that the former would be true.

if the latter one...

Then, the Hermes family responsible for investigating Chios' life experience may be on the verge of extinction.

Knowing that Hermes was investigating Chios as early as a month ago, he would never wait for the unfavorable results to come out.

The Ishtar Familia killed a leader just by blocking Chios's way, and the faction that threatened his reputation would end in a worse situation.

Before God Hermes, it was a difficult choice.

He has an easy way of getting the right answer.

Take a blood sample and compare it with Chios...
