In this chaotic world, it all started when they found an elf girl.

Chapter 217 Confronting LV.5

Chapter 217 Confronting LV.5

"The budding of justice?!"

Two beautiful women, each with their own unique charm, stood at the entrance of the blacksmith's shop, and Chun Kebrand made a strange sound.

As Roy saw the other person, the other person also noticed him. After all, Chun Kobrand was a LV.5 adventurer, and her perception was no weaker than Roy's.

"Goddess Hephaestus, Miss Corbrand, I've heard so much about you," Roy said, sizing up the renowned goddess and her retinue.

The former has short, fiery red hair in a single ponytail, a tall figure, an eye patch over her right eye, a white top, black trousers, and black over-the-knee high-heeled boots, exuding a faint divine aura.

Hephaestus runs the world's largest equipment shop and is one of the most famous goddesses.

The latter is a half-dwarf born from the union of a human from the Far East and a continental dwarf. She has black hair and red eyes. She is Tsubaki Kobrand, the leader of the Hephaestus Familia. She also wears an eyepatch over her left eye, but it is a performance art imitating her own god, and her eye is not defective.

Before even meeting the main character, Roy encountered the other party's chief god and clan leader, giving him a premonition that the trip might not go smoothly. He hoped that Hephaestus hadn't yet taken Welf Crozzo in, otherwise—

"Children of the Astrea family, I was also deeply shaken by that war game," Hephaestus said with a smile. After the war with the Apollo Familia, there were very few people in Orario who didn't know Roy.

"I don't deserve it," Roy said modestly.

Tiony was filled with deep regret. She had been listening to the glorious deeds of the commander these past few days, but she hadn't seen any of them. It was definitely the biggest regret of her life.

Hearing Tione's mournful cries, Tiona was speechless. If she hadn't dragged Tione away, Tione would never have wanted to go to Orario.

Tione, I still prefer your old, unruly self. Why don't you go back to your old self?

"Those two are the new members of the Familia? They're quite adorable. The gods were discussing their titles before I left Orario," Hephaestus said.

The Astrea Familia outmaneuvered the Loki Familia, successfully recruiting two promising Level 3 Amazon girls, a feat that spread throughout Orario.

So, when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

The gods, of course, bestowed titles upon them.

Upon hearing this, the two women were delighted. High-level adventurers all had "titles" bestowed by the gods. Liu had "Swift Wind" and Roy had "Bud of Justice". They were both looking forward to seeing what title they would receive.

Roy didn't want to shatter their beautiful fantasy.

Those who have never seen hell are like this; Daphne and Cassandra still feel ashamed about their "titles" to this day.

Roy subtly changed the subject, "Lady Hephaestus is here to purchase ore?"

"Yes, it's over."

Hephaestus nodded slightly.

Zoringen is a city built on rich mineral resources. Countless kinds of minerals are buried within a radius of hundreds of miles, so its metallurgical and forging processes are extremely outstanding.

People from outside came to buy ore.

Even the powerful Hephaestus clan was no exception; it was an important source of raw materials for them.

"I didn't expect you to know about these things. Are you also interested in forging?" Hephaestus stared at Roy with a meaningful look in her deep red, molten lava-like eyes.

To be honest, I was quite surprised to see Roy, Hephaestus, and Tsubaki Kobrand here.

I know a little bit about it.

Roy's eyes darted around. "Actually, I was asked to come here to find someone. There's a simple-minded boy who ran away from home, and his family is very worried."

Hephaestus, oblivious to anything amiss, kindly asked, "Does it have a name? We're quite familiar with this city; perhaps we can be of help."

Roy, "His name is Welf Crozzo!"

Hephaestus and Chun Corbrand had strange expressions; no wonder they ran into Roy here.

The red-haired boy, who had just stepped out of the blacksmith's shop, overheard these words and ran away in fright.

Roy said, "Tione, grab him!"

Boom!

Tiony, who considered himself "Roy's most loyal henchman," responded immediately, using his legs to shatter the floor with his powerful kicks, easily crossing the distance between them.

Having just received "God's Grace," Welf, who was only a mere LV.1, was pinned to the ground by Tione.

"Let me go! Let me go!" Welf struggled desperately, but he couldn't break free no matter what.

"Sprout of Justice, what do you mean?" Just as Tsubaki Kobrand was about to make a move, Roy blocked her way.

boom!

The two men's palms collided, and a violent force suddenly erupted, causing the air to vibrate violently, waves of air to surge, and the ground beneath their feet to shatter, sending debris flying everywhere.

The passersby's expressions changed, and they quickly backed away.

"Such immense power!"

Chun Kobrand looked astonished. She was a Level 5 adventurer, while Roy had only recently reached Level 4. Yet she managed to block her hand strike.

Roy's muscles were taut; his ability to break through his limits was finally showing results.

Chun Kobrand also recently reached LV.5, and with his ability stats, he can compete with his opponent.

Both sides continued to exert increasing pressure.

The immense pressure spread from their legs to the ground, and cracks began to appear wildly around them.

"Roy, Tsubaki, stop!"

The goddess Hephaestus unleashed her divine power, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze. A terrifying pressure fell indiscriminately on everyone, sending chills down their spines.

Fear was emanating from every cell in the body.

"Excuse me, Lady Hephaestus."

Roy and Chun Corbrand both stopped.

"Lady Hephaestus, let's go somewhere else." Roy's gaze swept over the surroundings; he didn't want to be looked at like a monkey.

Hephaestus nodded.

After each party paid half of the cost of the damaged street, the group went to a teahouse.

Welf was also invited to participate.

"Roy, explain what happened?" asked the goddess Hephaestus.

Roy cleared his throat and briefly explained Welf Crozzo's situation: "...As mentioned earlier, he is a rebellious teenager who ran away from home. I accepted the request from his family and friends to bring him back."

Hephaestus could sense that there were no lies.

Roy didn't mention the deal at all; he simply accepted Marius's request.

Hephaestus and Tsubaki Kobrand frowned; this was a bit tricky. Welf had revealed his origins to them after joining the Familia.

But the pursuers arrived so quickly, and they were none other than Orario's renowned Justice Sprouts.

Moreover, this is the other party's family matter.

Even as the chief deity of the clan, it's not appropriate for them to interfere.

Seeing Welf's sour face, Chun Kobrand said, "Since young Welf doesn't want to go back with you, why force him?"

Roy's lips curled into a domineering smile. "Lady Hephaestus, Miss Corbrand, whether he is willing to come with me or not is not up to him. If I make a promise, I will keep it."
