Chapter 265 Gods Cannot Create True Heroes
"Takemikazuchi, I'm sorry for making such a fuss." Goddess Astraea looked at Takemikazuchi.
"No, no!"
Takemikazuchi looked embarrassed. Whether Lilyluka Erd was the weakest member of the Astrea Familia was still in doubt, but the fact that his family members were swept away by the opponent alone was undeniable.
The group slunk away from the Star Garden; to rescue Chun Ji, they had to find another way.
The visit of the Takemikazuchi Familia was just a minor incident for Roy. He didn't need the help of a Level 1 rookie, and he certainly wouldn't give up the spoils of war that Sanjou Haruhime possessed the magic "Level Ascension"!
Tione, Tiona, Daphne, and others' cheerful laughter echoed throughout the courtyard. Lily blushed with embarrassment at the teasing. During the tedious training period, the Takemikazuchi tribe was a welcome spice in their lives.
In a joyful atmosphere, Ryu returned to the Star Garden, where Tione explained the whole story to her.
Ryu was speechless. Takemikazuchi's family, the bottom of Orario's family, all they did was drink and not eat anything? What kind of strength do they have that they dare to challenge Roy to a duel?
After politely declining Tione's invitation to train, the elven girl, looking conflicted, arrived at Roy's forge.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Roy was replenishing everyone's equipment. Time was of the essence, so this time he didn't design equipment for everyone, but instead created standardized equipment.
The sound of hammers striking refined iron rang out continuously.
With Ryu's agility, walking silently is a basic skill, but Roy's perception is no joke, not to mention his intuition skill.
Roy immediately sensed a familiar presence behind him. He glanced over and saw a graceful elven girl standing at the door, her expression hesitant, her toes, clad in Justice Boots, drawing circles on the ground.
From that appearance, Roy knew without even guessing that the other person must have encountered something.
Roy quickened his pace, swiftly completing the piece of equipment, then dropped the hammer and shut off the furnace.
"come over!"
After doing all this, Roy stepped forward and forcefully grabbed Liu's soft, boneless hand.
Liu's pretty face was flushed, and she followed obediently behind him like a little wife.
Compared to Liu's fair and delicate hands, Roy's palms were calloused, rough, strong, and hot. The heat from the calloused palms spread throughout her body, making her feel hot all over, as if she had lost all her strength.
Roy forcefully dragged the useless elf to the next lounge, leaned back on the sofa, placed the elf on his lap, and gently embraced the cool and soft body.
Ryu struggled briefly, but gave up when she realized she couldn't break free, even though she was LV.6 and Roy was LV.5.
But she couldn't resist him.
Roy asked, "What happened?"
"What are you talking about? I don't understand." Ryu's eyes darted left and right, looking guilty.
"I'll give you one more chance, I don't care anyway." Roy's hands moved as swiftly as a dragon.
The heat of his palm penetrated through her thin clothes, and with each touch, Liu Jiao blushed deeply, her pretty face turning as if it were about to bleed. Her mind was too hot to think, and she collapsed into Roy's arms, panting heavily.
Her fair and delicate skin was tinged with pink.
"this."
When Ryu realized that Roy had further plans, she was frightened and obediently took out the piece of paper Freya had given her and handed it over tremblingly.
"You're honest enough," Roy said irritably.
Roy, with one arm around Ryu, took the piece of paper with the other. It even carried a faint, intoxicating fragrance. "Who gave this to you?"
Ryu replied, "The goddess Freya."
A strange light flashed in Roy's eyes; he was surprised to hear the name from Liu's mouth.
A sliver of clarity returned to Liu's hazy sky-blue eyes. "Roy, we can't use the information on this piece of paper. Cheating is not allowed in the war game ordained by the gods!"
Before she could finish speaking, Roy had already opened the paper and quickly scanned its contents.
The location of the five treasures in the Seollu Forest.
Roy lowered his head in thought, his large hand, which was wrapped around the elven girl's slender waist, slowly moved downwards.
"Roy~" Ryu bit her rosy lower lip.
Roy looked up, looking annoyed, and slapped his hand hard, apologizing repeatedly, "Sorry, when I'm thinking about complicated things, my hand just likes to touch things to relieve stress."
Liu glared at him with a cute but fierce look, but she was helpless. She gradually got used to Luo Yi's opportunistic behavior, and she didn't even realize that she was secretly pleased deep down.
In a short time, Roy figured it out and laughed, "Silly girl, if you think Freya is helping us cheat, why didn't she tell us the locations of all the treasures?"
Liu was stunned. She had never thought of this question before. Ever since she learned that Freya had schemed against them, she had maintained a strong sense of vigilance towards this goddess.
After Roy reminded her, she realized what was going on.
If Freya wanted to help them, she could simply tell them the locations of all the treasures.
The note showed signs of being torn.
This means that the complete note recorded the location of all the treasures, but Freya only told her the location of five treasures, which was just the minimum requirement for winning.
It's impossible for anyone to snatch the other half of the note from Freya!
Ryu recalled the oppressive feeling she had when facing the goddess Freya. Even if the other party did not actively release her charm, she would fall deeply into it if she relaxed her mind even slightly.
The other person's "beauty" is integrated into their scent, movements, and everything else; every move they make can bewitch others, and even advanced adventurers cannot resist it.
"Ishtar, so that's what she was planning." Roy's lips curled into a cold smile.
"What happened?" Liu asked curiously.
Roy said, "If I'm not mistaken, the Ishtar Familia also knows the correct location of the five treasures, and they probably weren't given to us by Freya."
"What?!" Liu's pupils widened in shock.
At that moment, even if Ryu was naive, she instantly realized why the goddess Ishtar accepted this war game without the slightest hesitation.
From the very beginning, the other party wanted to cheat!
By using some means, one can find out the location of the treasures placed by the guild in advance, quickly obtain six treasures in the war game, and directly win!
"That's despicable!"
Liu was so angry he was practically fuming, but unfortunately, he had too few insults to use. Otherwise, he would have already unleashed a torrent of profanities and dragged out all of the other man's relatives to be whipped.
She still had the nerve to think about so-called fair competition.
"That's how the world is; good people don't live long, but evil people live for a thousand years," Roy comforted him.
Liu felt a wave of fear wash over her, but thankfully she didn't act on her own initiative and instead handed the note to Roy.
Otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable.
The useless elf was once again pushed to its limits by the darkness of the world. She lay obediently in Roy's arms, curled up as if this was her only safe haven.
Roy gently stroked the elf's smooth, long golden hair. It was better for him to deal with those demons and monsters; he was best at fighting evil with evil!
In fact, he had anticipated this.
When Roy obtained the "False God Card," he planned to impersonate Freya and use the allure of the goddess of beauty to find out the hidden locations of the guild staff and the treasure.
As it turned out, Freya herself stepped in and took care of everything for them, which caught him completely off guard.
So Freya's purpose is—
Now they and the Ishtar Familia each know the locations of the five treasures buried, and can easily obtain them.
The battle is for the last treasure.
Roy could picture Freya, that eccentric old woman, sitting high atop the Tower of Babel, like a queen reigning over the world, sipping fine wine and watching with delight the situation she had meticulously planned, with the two great clans deciding their battle beneath her feet.
Similar to the previous case of strengthening mermaids, it was euphemistically called a trial bestowed by the goddess.
But this time—
Roy is not going to accept this fate!
"Heh!" Roy sneered. Freya, this time things won't go your way. His confidence and strength come from his abilities. He's not the rookie he used to be!
"Gods cannot create true heroes!"
