Chapter 102: Freya's Arrangement! Losing Control of the Plotline
Regarding "Sword Soul" Liam Moon, Freya's thoughts were complex. A rookie who had created a world record and possessed extremely strong talent.
With all these identities attached, unless it was Loki…
Most gods, when faced with such a child, would find it hard not to have any ideas.
Especially when she learned that on the return trip of the Familia expedition, Liam had relied on his own strength to kill the floor lord Goliath.
From a talent perspective alone.
As long as one was willing to invest resources in Liam, he would absolutely become a rookie even more dazzling than the "Sword Princess" Ais Wallenstein…
He would become the Familia's most important new force!
Signaling Pan to leave, the Goddess of Beauty, Freya, swirled the red wine glass in her hand. Her beautiful face, on which one couldn't read her emotions.
Rarely showed a slight frown.
She lifted the wine glass and took a light sip, "This is truly vexing."
Among the rookies recruited by the Familia, the reason she paid more attention to Bell was simple: his extremely pure soul.
And the potential he himself displayed.
Compared to Liam, the former might indeed be inferior in terms of talent to this new adventurer who had appeared like a dark horse.
The reason for Freya's vexation.
Was that she didn't see what she wanted in Liam.
"The light of a soul."
Possessing eyes that could see through the very nature of a soul, she only saw... a soul in Liam that was intertwined with brutality and bloody sin!
"However, it could make Orario more interesting."
Patience.
That was a qualified hunter. At least, that's what Freya thought. Letting Bell master the "Single-Minded Aspiration" skill.
Sometimes, seeing isn't necessarily believing?
"."
The red wine glass was casually shattered on the ground. Freya looked at the figure that appeared in response to the sound, her face showing no emotion.
"Ottar, there's something I need you to do."
Regarding his subsequent plans, Liam only had a rough idea for now. The "great feat" was already accumulated enough. Continuing to settle.
Max out all ability scores.
In this process, continuously accumulate experience points and raise the Sword Soul template's class level.
A true Sword Soul, at the very least, should be able to string up their enemies…
Liam's idea was to have appropriate self-protection abilities, slow down his pace to enjoy life, and experience the different styles of this other world!
He couldn't have transmigrated to the DanMachi world just to be a pure Dungeon grinder, right?
"Tonight's celebration banquet, you arrange it. Also, this weapon, I need you to find a relatively reliable weapon shop to repair it for me."
Liam ordered decisively.
Developing the Familia, the convenience was already apparent now. No need to pay remuneration, just providing food and lodging was enough to order her around.
And simple matters could be handed over to Lili, who was familiar with Orario. As for the time that followed, after filling his stomach.
An appropriate rest was a holiday for himself.
"Okay."
Taking the weapon, Lili didn't show any resistance. In the "Soma Familia," she had to handle even more dirty and tiring work.
On the contrary, she felt much more relaxed, not having to worry about being exploited.
Even the Valis from exchanging magic stones and drops after the Familia expedition was now kept in her own hands.
Perhaps this was the feeling of being "truly trusted."
Walking on the streets of Orario, the young woman lowered her head in thought for a moment. Besides the plan to leave her former Familia, when they were truly getting along.
She couldn't find any common topics between them.
Lili could only tentatively ask in a joking tone, "Liam, do you still remember our first meeting?"
"Mm."
"The next few times we met, I sensed a strong sense of vigilance from you." The young woman walked with her head down, her tone nonchalant.
"Of course."
Their initial contact, up until the destruction of the Soma Familia, towards Lili who could backstab him at any moment.
Liam did indeed hold a sense of resistance. Later on, they had experienced some incidents together. If one were to speak of trust, there was certainly some.
He didn't deny it, roughly understanding the young woman's thoughts.
Never having been treated with sincerity, yet now being given trust, for Lili who had long been in a mire-like environment, it was inevitable to have thoughts. "As companions in the same Familia, having trust is a... very reasonable thing. Not everyone can live in the past, right?"
After some simple thought, Liam said in a casual tone.
"."
It was as if Liam could always guess her thoughts. All the words Lili wanted to say, she never had a chance to speak.
She looked at Liam's handsome side profile.
The budding affection deep in her heart was infinitely magnified at this moment. And what made her feel a bit annoyed.
Was probably that he could see all her thoughts.
Except, he hadn't noticed the other thoughts she had developed for this guy. And the topic she had finally managed to find.
Ended at this moment!
There was a very reassuring feeling, but Lili didn't want to stop here.
"Um..."
"Don't you have anything else to say?" Due to her Pallum height, to see Liam's side profile clearly, she could only look up.
"Hmm?"
Liam furrowed his brow slightly, pausing his steps to seriously study the young woman beside him. In terms of personality and appearance, the Lili before him.
Could not be classified as the cute type.
As for other things to say, perhaps there were things she needed to pay special attention to, having just joined the Hestia Familia?
He didn't think in other directions. Habitually reaching out, wanting to pet Lili's airy short hair.
He immediately added, "There's no need to keep changing your appearance with magic. You look quite good now. But if you really have to use it..."
"A pair of cat ears would be fine."
"?"
It felt strange somewhere, but looking at the young man's extremely serious expression, Lili was suddenly a bit baffled.
So…
Why would he have a request... regarding her appearance?
The matter of weapon repair was, of course, entirely handed over to Lili. With no other arrangements, Liam properly filled his stomach.
Then he returned to the Familia home to rest.
According to the development of the "Hestia Familia" in the original work, the initial conditions were indeed relatively arduous. The real change happened.
When Apollo, with his strange "preferences," developed ideas about Bell.
Then, in conjunction with the deceased former captain of the Soma Familia, Zanis, he launched a War Game against the Hestia Familia.
Bell smoothly joined the Freya Familia.
The world's plotline had undergone a huge change, already beyond Liam's control. The fastest development path for now.
Could be said to be completely blocked!
He didn't think his white demonic left arm would give the "preference"-strange Apollo any ideas. Otherwise, things would be much simpler.
He couldn't possibly forcibly initiate a War Game with the Apollo Familia, could he?
"This is tricky."
Thoughts would change with strength. The current Liam could be said to have truly felt this inflated mood.
Pursuing better living conditions.
Was something he cared about more now, besides improving his strength.
Returning to the basement of the abandoned church, before he had time to take off the black cloak on him, a series of footsteps came from the stairs.
It attracted Liam's attention.
When he saw clearly the adventurers who had come to the basement, and the crest on them symbolizing their Familia, his expression gradually became strange.
