Civilization Guardian Front

With Chios' strength, it's unlikely that his deputy will be a Lv.1 adventurer.

Then, the young woman in front of her is at least Lv.2 or higher.

Senior adventurers who are less than 20 years old should be key training members for any faction. Is it so easy to transfer to another family?

Miss Ward, who was stared at by hundreds of eyes, put on a smile calmly.

She folded her hands in front of her belly and bowed slightly, showing good upbringing.

"Estil Ward, Captain Monchios will not give up. He is currently serving as the deputy head of the Hestia Familia. Please take care of me."

Hearing this, Finn stared.

"This last name...I remember it was from a business family..."

"Yes."

"you..."

"Finn, let's continue the chat when you have time..." Interrupting the head of the Loki family's questioning, Chios reached out his hand to gesture to the northwest.

"I heard that the expedition team came back today, and the citizens put down their work and gathered in the square to wait for you heroes to appear."

"You are so thoughtful..."

It was Riveria who responded to Chios.

"It's never easy to mobilize citizens during non-festival times. How did you do it?"

The implicit defensiveness, the movement of clasping her hands on her chest before speaking, and her slightly indifferent tone all indicate her changed attitude towards youth.

However, in the face of the apparent drop in trust of the elf royal family, Chios, who has always been observant, didn't notice it at this moment.

As if he never cared about Riveria's perception of him, he still kept an impeccable smile.

"Nothing, just let them know."

The young people's answer of avoiding the important and taking the light, invisibly created a deeper gap.

"..."

Riveria silently clenched the wand in her hand.

Obviously, there are still a lot of things I want to ask...

Noticing Riveria's complexion, Finn hastily said:

"Well, since the people are waiting outside, we really shouldn't just stay here leisurely."

After speaking, he raised the spear with his right hand and tapped the end of the spear on the floor to signal everyone to follow.

The moment the expedition team walked out of the Tower of Babel, even though they had prepared in advance, they were still shocked by the sight in front of them.

The endless crowd stretches from the central square along the northwest main street to the end of the field of vision. On the flagpoles protruding obliquely from the second floor of the houses, the flags symbolizing all factions of the United Expeditionary Force flutter in the wind.

"It's the expedition team, they're back in triumph!"

"Look! Their carts are almost full of high-quality magic stones and precious drops."

"The monster is not an opponent at all!"

"It's really reassuring that the dungeon has been swept away by you!"

"Haha, I'm afraid that the cleanliness will make it difficult for us to make money today."

The cheers one after another were endless, and they were even more excited than those who went to the deep battlefield of the maze in person.

At this time, Chios, who was originally walking side by side with Finn, stood aside sideways.

He clapped his hands.

boom!

Those who stand near the braziers erected at intervals of [-] steps will use torches to light firewood in order from near to far.

Stretching flames dotted the entire street.

""victory!victory!victory...""

Countless Orari citizens and adventurers uttered deafening shouts in unison.

Finn, Riveria, Grace, Shakti and the others watched this scene with serious expressions.

They feel unmistakably...

The city where they have lived for many years has undergone some fundamental drastic changes.

become a little strange.

What happened during the expedition?

Or...

His gaze moved aside quietly, and fell on the calm-faced Chios.

What did he do?

Chapter 670? Very Important

The news that the expeditionary force wiped out a large number of monsters in the depths greatly boosted the morale of the citizens, businessmen, and adventurers of Orario.

As if the super-standard reception from the Eternal Flame Alliance organization was not enough, the guild quickly posted the achievements of the expeditionary army in the form of announcements on the bulletin boards of each branch, urging its newspapers to make relevant reports as soon as possible, and even temporarily dialed A large budget is allocated to purchase alcoholic beverages, which are distributed free to the citizens of the city.

For a moment, O'Lari was immersed in the carnival atmosphere from top to bottom.

The management organization has spared no effort to publicize this matter, and the other intention behind it is of course to use this to overshadow Chios's popularity in recent days.

Although the party targeted by the government doesn't care at all...

Anyway, such a containment method has little impact on Chios.

The four major factions, Loki, Freya, Ganesha, and Hephaestus, have been famous in the city for many years, and their prestige has long reached a level that is difficult to enter.Especially the first two, no matter what kind of great achievements they make, it is not surprising.

If you want to improve further, you can only create great achievements comparable to the "Three Great Commissions" and prove to the world that they are qualified to be compared with Zeus and Hera, the only family with the prefix "strongest" since the gods came down to the lower world .

On the other hand, the Hestia family...

As a brand-new force established only two months ago, its positioning is completely different from the above-mentioned S-rank family.

People love to witness "growth".

If it's just looking forward to perfection, human beings should pursue the stories of gods.

However, since ancient times, the most attractive plots have always been written by imperfect human races.

The reason why the widely circulated hero story is fascinating is precisely because the protagonist has gradually become a famous legend in the world from an unknown weakling.

When it comes to the "growth" curve, it took decades to develop to its current scale, the pace has slowed down, and the Loki and Freya families have gradually stagnated. There is absolutely no way for the Hestia family, which is rising with amazing momentum. Compete on the same stage.

Refreshing the fastest upgrade time for adventurers time and time again, creating the most exaggerated family evaluation upgrade span in history. Whether in the dungeon or on the surface, there are multiple witnesses to witness the extraordinary feat.

Success has left an indelible mark on people's hearts through the bombardment of short-term continuous and intensive deeds.

In the memory of the residents of Olalie, there is probably only one case with a growth trajectory similar to this...

Astoria family.

He once guided everyone through the darkest period of the city like a shining star, lighting up the gloomy light of hope in the depths of the heart, but unfortunately died on the way to crusade against the remnants of the dark faction.

And now, the Hestia family led by Chios took over the banner that symbolizes "justice and hope".

Unless someone can surpass his growth rate to catch up, no matter how hard the management agency tries to downplay his influence, it will only be in vain.

...

August 11th 26:16

Located on the sunny slope of the vast agricultural land in the outskirts of Olalie City, the cellar of the winery looks like an ancient castle.

The storage room where dozens of oak barrels are stacked is full of woody fragrance...

Chios put the glass liquid extraction tool into the sealed hole opened above the oak barrel, slowly took out about 10ml of brown wine, and poured it into the wine glass in his left hand.

Shake the cup to mix the six different proportions of original brandy evenly, tilt it under the light, stare at the shimmering yellow corn for a few seconds, and sniff it close to the tip of his nose. His unusually serious expression finally turned for soft.

Take a sip, close your eyes and breathe slowly and deeply, feel the multi-layered aroma released when the wine body slides over your lips and tongue, and swallow it until you can't taste any more flavors.

Just standing there holding the wine glass, waiting for the lingering rhyme in the mouth to fade away.

"Black plums, figs, chocolate, fresh herbs, and a mild cheese aroma that doesn't steal the show..." A smile finally appeared on the young man's handsome face.

After a whole afternoon of deployment tests, the annoyance of wandering on the edge of the masterpiece countless times but being out of place was swept away.

"Excellent, this is the smell I'm looking for."

Hearing his words, Demeter, who was silently waiting beside him, breathed a sigh of relief.

The atmosphere just now was so tense that even she dared not say a word.

"I'm sorry, little Chios..."

Demeter said with an apologetic face.

"Originally I just wanted to ask you to review our year-end special edition, but I didn't expect you to be so serious and even help make the new formula yourself."

Hearing this, Chios quickly waved his hand.

"You're being polite, it's actually me who needs to apologize..."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the older man with white hair on the side of the wall farther away.

That is the winemaker of this winery.

"Even though the proportions set by the winemaker are already perfect, I willfully deny the results of his hard-working adjustments, and even have the cheek to ask for a remake of the recipe. I have caused a lot of trouble for the two of you. I am really sorry."

The young man's non-dignity rhetoric made the old man look a lot better.

Seeing this, Demeter also showed a relieved smile.

The Goddess came to the recording table, and from the top of the stack of discarded recipe papers, picked up the one that Chios wrote down last.

"Can we taste it?"

"Of course, please give me the most objective evaluation."

After getting permission, Demeter nodded slightly to the senior brewer.

The old man stepped forward to take the formula, and quickly prepared two cups of brandy skillfully according to the only ratio that was not crossed out on the paper.

Then, the goddess and the brewer drank the wine in their hands as Chios had done before.

half a minute passed...

"...a masterpiece, undeniably a masterpiece..."

The senior brewer smacked his lips in unsatisfactory expression, no longer suspicious.

"Not only retains the characteristics of each original wine, but also properly blends the six flavors together, it even makes me feel like I am enjoying it with cheesecake."

"Hmm~~ I'm starting to be jealous of Hestia..." Breathing out lightly, a thin layer of blush appeared on Demeter's cheeks.

Holding her hot cheeks in both hands, the goddess sighed with great regret:

"Hey, why aren't you my family? Obviously, I can also be a member of Chios's family. Although I feel sorry for Hestia for thinking this way, I really want to love Chios every day. .."

"..."

Chios glanced at Demeter's majestic chest.

If you let this goddess who is more turbulent than your own main god "love", I'm afraid I will drown in it on the first day...

In order not to shake his will, he wisely changed the subject:

"Please excuse my presumptuousness, but I don't know if the name of this new brandy series can be left to me to decide?"

"Of course, after all, Little Chios is not only the maker of the formula, but also the owner of the manor..." The goddess, who is the main property owner of the manor, readily agreed.

Demeter looked at the second largest investor in the winery in front of him, and asked curiously:

"What is Chios going to name this series?"

"Landon Abbey? Brandy No. 772."

"772... must be a number with special meaning to Chios, right?"

"Yes..." Chios replied with a particularly gentle tone.
