Chapter 246: Are You My Fated Person?
Hermes laughed happily, and then made a gesture: "Then let's welcome the sponsor of this trip to the stage!"
Following the direction of Hermes's arm, Liam saw a beautiful young woman outside the crowd.
She had a head of long blue hair, a golden ornament on her forehead, and a sleeveless, slim-fit top.
At her waist was a white cloth robe, and on her legs were high, over-the-knee boots.
After seeing the other party, Hestia was immediately overjoyed, "Artemis!
Liam! Look, she's my best friend from the heavens! My bestie!"
Hestia happily ran towards the other party, her face beaming with a brilliant smile.
Artemis also smiled and trotted closer, but her figure moved past Hestia and came directly in front of Liam.
"Found you! My Orion!"
Orion?
Faced with the goddess's embrace, Liam had originally wanted to refuse directly.
But her figure was very good, and she was also very beautiful. She was the type of beautiful girl that completely hit Liam's aesthetic.
Below the stage, Hestia's heart was filled with complicated emotions. She didn't know why the other party would make such a choice.
As expected, has even Artemis become one to prioritize looks over friendship?
"Artemis! What on earth are you doing?"
Anger, unwillingness, various emotions erupted in Hestia's body. She led the group back to The Hearthfire Manor.
Afterward, she looked at Artemis angrily: "Why did you do that just now, Artemis!"
Artemis knelt before Hestia, her attitude of admitting her mistake was good.
"I'm really sorry, Hestia. I was just too happy just now."
At this time, Artemis had finally found her destined person. Only Liam could use the power of this spear and fulfill her wish.
So, at this time, Artemis was really very happy.
Liam looked at the sulking Hestia. He sighed slightly.
"Since that's the case, why don't you explain the specific situation in detail?"
Hestia crossed her arms, looking at Hermes with a dissatisfied expression: "Hermes, is this person really Artemis?
Artemis is one of the virgin goddesses in the heavens, in charge of chastity, and revering purity.
She can be regarded as—a member of the disciplinary committee who extinguishes impure relationships!
She forbids love, so why is this?"
Hermes took off his hat, "Actually, it's because a monster has appeared outside of Orario.
The reason Artemis became the sponsor of this event is also because of this.
Her Familia discovered a monster, but the other party is very tricky. Therefore, the Artemis Familia came to Orario to seek help."
Lili and the others had gathered in the living room, listening to Hermes and their words.
Lili had already understood the problem from Hermes's words. "So the trip is just an excuse. In fact, it's a monster subjugation mission commissioned by Artemis, right?"
Artemis came before Liam with the long spear, "Orion, I have been looking for you."
"The key is that my name is Liam, not some Orion."
Liam spread his hands helplessly, "Apart from being able to activate this spear, I have nothing special."
"No, Orion is my destined person. And you can use this spear, so you are Orion."
What Liam was thinking was that his body was a physical transmigration. How could he be Orion?
It was just that he did have the qualification to use this spear.
Perhaps it was because his luck value was relatively high, or because of the Sword God template?
"Liam, you are my hope. The person qualified to use this spear does not rely on ability.
It requires a unique soul. Either the soul is pure and flawless, or the soul's quality far surpasses that of the world's existence."
Hermes pointed at Liam excitedly, "This long spear has chosen you, Liam!"
From Artemis's hands, Liam took the long spear. He carefully sized up the weapon in his hand.
He didn't think his soul was pure and flawless, but his soul was indeed more special than others.
After all, he was a transmigrator. His soul would more or less have something special about it.
Artemis's right hand was placed on Liam's chest. Because of the height difference between the two, the goddess was very cute and adorable in front of Liam.
"Liam, please set off with me."
Seeing Artemis so proactively and boldly pursuing Liam, Hestia was ten thousand times unwilling.
And so she directly headbutted Artemis's head.
The foreheads of the two young women became red and swollen because of this.
Tears were in the corners of both of their eyes. This pain also interrupted the atmosphere just now.
Clutchching her bumped head, Hestia put one hand on her hip, while the other pointed at Artemis.
"Artemis! We accept this mission! Since my best friend is in trouble, it's only natural to lend a helping hand!"
Liam sized up Hestia. One could only say, as expected of the Lady Goddess. Although not very smart, she was truly beautiful, had a sweet voice, and was kind-hearted.
How could such a goddess not be liked?
Because of Hestia's statement, Artemis was very happy. She directly hugged the other tightly.
"Thank you, thank you so much, Hestia!"
Being so solemnly thanked by her best friend, Hestia was a little embarrassed, and her face even became a little ruddy because of it.
"There's another reason. That is, just letting you and Liam go together is really too dangerous!"
Syr came over~! "Since Liam is going, I'm going too. I can go and cheer you on!"
Ais, Ryuu, and Lili, Wien all raised their hands!
"We're going too!"
Liam's heart moved slightly. If it was this lineup, plus Syr, there was no problem.
It was just that he didn't know what the specific strength of that BOSS was.
The more high-end combat power, the better. Thinking of this, his gaze looked towards Haruhime.
"Haruhime, you're coming too this time!"
Liam's gaze looked at Haruhime. Haruhime nodded weakly.
Although she was very worried about dragging the team down, she knew her skills could play a very strong role!
Hermes looked at Liam, "So Captain Liam, what is your answer?"
Liam nodded, "My answer is naturally to accept. There's no reason not to accept this kind of mission!"
Actually, this mission was almost a must-do option.
If they failed, the entire Orario, and even the whole world, would be destroyed.
So it must be done, and it must be completed.
Daphne came over and grabbed Lili, "Lili, we should try our best to improve our strength during this time!
Leave the supporter's task to Miss Haruhime!"
Lili had a look of resistance on her face, but in terms of strength, she was still no match for Daphne.
"Alright, Lili will go with Mikoto and you to the Dungeon for special training!"
She said this almost through gritted teeth.
And so the lineup was determined:
Liam, Artemis, Hestia, Hermes, Ais, Ryuu, Wien.
These seven would go to the mission location mentioned by Artemis.
And Lili, Daphne, Mikoto, and Cassandra, they would form a team and go on an adventure in the Dungeon.
Artemis bowed slightly towards Liam and the others, "Thank you, kind children.
Although you do not belong to my Familia, you are now my travel companions.
I hope you can make a contract with me."
Artemis extended her right hand towards Liam. Liam was slightly stunned upon seeing this, and then he kissed the back of her hand.
After Liam had kissed it, Ryuu and Ais simultaneously vied for the second to kiss the goddess's hand.
Both were beautiful elves, and both were skilled in wind magic.
At this moment, they both tacitly guessed the other's intention, so neither side would give in.
Wien, taking advantage of the chaos, flapped her wings and then kissed the back of Artemis's hand.
The deflated Ryuu and Ais also gave up their dispute and kissed the back of the goddess's hand in turn.
Hermes clapped his hands, as if coaxing a child, focusing everyone's attention.
"Since a result has been discussed, shall we set off?"
Liam complained helplessly in his heart, but still nodded.
At this time, the time had already come to the dead of night. The sky was still in the night before dawn.
Liam's party at this time had come to the top of Orario's city wall.
Hermes had prepared equipment for everyone present.
Liam's own Dragon Spine armor set was already enough, but since it was Hermes's kind intention, he also accepted it.
The two goddesses, as well as the others, changed into the equipment prepared by Hermes.
This equipment, although it was cloth armor, was comfortable, breathable, and elastic, and also had the defensive power of conventional armor.
Artemis looked at the scenery outside the city wall and began to daze off. Hestia asked her:
"Artemis, do you know why we are on the city wall?"
"Never heard of it."
Hermes looked at the sky, "They're here!"
Three four-legged, two-winged flying dragons appeared in the sky. These flying dragons were massive in size, and the flapping of their wings could produce a powerful airflow.
Subsequently, a figure jumped down from one of the flying dragons. It was Ganesha.
"Hahaha, I am Ganesha!"
After Ganesha had landed safely on the ground, the three flying dragons in the sky also landed on the city wall.
Even when the flying dragons were squatting, their height was over two meters.
Liam looked at their number, and then at the seats on the back of the flying dragons.
As expected, even with two people per flying dragon, one flying dragon would have to seat three people.
Although these flying dragons were massive in size, it was clear that the space for people to ride was not very large.
The part where a person could sit was about a meter long, and a thirty or forty-centimeter-wide seating area.
Further back, they carried a luggage backpack of about one cubic meter.
Hestia looked at Hermes, "Are we going to ride this?"
Hermes nodded, "Yes, I asked Ganesha in advance. If we go by land, it will take about a month. If we fly, it will only take ten days."
Liam came up to one of the flying dragons. These flying dragons looked very docile. From the top of their heads to the back of their necks, they all had black scales.
Just their heads were almost a meter in size. They looked like they could definitely eat a lot.
Liam looked at Ganesha, "We have seven people here. Three dragons, how do you want us to divide?"
Ganesha put his hands on his hips and laughed heartily, "Hahaha, I didn't gather enough!"
Wien proactively raised her hand, "Wien has wings! Wien can fly in the sky!"
Liam rubbed Wien's head, and then took out Original Sin from his Selfless Sword Domain.
Then Liam slightly closed his eyes, and Original Sin, this war hammer, began to emit a faint blue flowing light.
Afterward, it directly turned into a kite shield. The overall look was a bit like an acute-angled inverted triangle with a curve, or rather, an inverted water drop.
His figure sat on the shield transformed from Original Sin, "I'll just ride this."
Artemis also followed Liam and sat on the shield, "Liam, can this thing really fly?"
Liam looked back at Artemis with surprise, "Naturally, it can fly."
Afterward, the shield took the two of them and took off. Hermes sat alone on a flying dragon.
Ais and Hestia were on one flying dragon, and Ryuu and Wien were on another.
However, during the flight, Wien would from time to time spread her wings and fly to Liam's and Artemis's side to chat.
Only when she was tired of flying would she return to Ryuu's side to rest.
The sky gradually brightened. To let both of them sit more comfortably, Liam once again adjusted the shape of Original Sin.
Changing it from a shield to a shuttle form. Artemis hugged Liam tightly from behind.
"Liam! You're so amazing!"
Liam at this time didn't know how to respond to the other party, so he could only say what he thought:
"My main energy is on studying how to improve my strength. Flying on an object is just a derivative ability."
"To be able to fly is already very amazing, Liam!"
Artemis smiled sweetly. Because the shuttle was breaking through the airflow, neither of them was directly affected by the high-speed air pressure.
On the contrary, Hermes was blown into a sorry state by the airflow.
It wasn't until the speed of the flying dragon had slowed down a bit that Hermes caught his breath.
"Everyone, next we are going to the Elsos Ruins in the vast Sea of Trees."
"Elsos Ruins?"
Regarding the intelligence on this ruin, Liam did not know much.
Since Hermes didn't say, he thought the most important thing was still this mission.
In the process of flying, Liam was not idle. He was still cultivating his Sword Control Art.
As a result, the more he cultivated, the more he discovered his own shortcomings.
Not only did the Sword Control Art seem to have no end, but on the contrary, he increasingly felt that the knowledge he had comprehended was increasingly shallow.
Just like that, a few days passed. Artemis suddenly said to Liam, "Land quickly! Liam!"
Liam immediately controlled Original Sin and descended towards the ground at high speed.
In the process of descending, his perception also instantly discovered the situation on the ground.
Artemis began to draw her bow and nock an arrow. It was just that just as she was aiming, she found that six sharp blades had already flown out like swimming fish.
Then, on the ground, a group of monsters like a tide was forcefully cut down by a large swath.
"So amazing!"
After seeing Liam's so high killing efficiency, Artemis only had time to kill one monster with her bow and arrow.
"Liam! That place, that mother and daughter are about to be attacked!"
Liam immediately led Artemis and flew in the direction the goddess said. A large wave of meteors appeared in the sky and fell towards the ground.
"BOOM!"
Hundreds of monsters, like a black tide, approached. It was just that the meteorite sword blades descended on the ground, bringing with them a flame-like high temperature and a shockwave.
A large number of monsters were sent flying, pulverized...
