The man's appearance is very handsome.
Even a little too handsome.
His yellow-orange hair is extremely bright, his orange eyes are extremely clear, his smile is fresh and generous, and his manner is close and without malice, like a close friend.
This is also the main reason why I can’t develop a dislike mentality.
The two of them were very close at this time, and Xiao Lin was stunned for a moment by the other's overly intimate behavior. It was not until he noticed that the other's eyes were full of joy that he woke up.
He started with a catapult and quickly distanced himself.
That eager look was very familiar to Xiao Lin, it was the same look as Meishen. If it's Freya, he can barely accept it. If it's a man, please forgive him for being insensitive!
"Ahaha, did it scare you?"
He wasn't angry when he saw Xiao Lin's wary face, but he slapped him very lazily and without sincerity.
Only after pulling away did he see the man's overall image.
very common.
Regardless of the clothes or the hat with a feather on the head, the dressing style is very similar to Lulune and the others, and there is nothing else that stands out at all.
However, the appearance of such a dress in the maze city can already explain a lot of things.
"I am Hermes, and my child was taken care of by you a few days ago."
Lord Kami introduced himself with a smile.
Just as Xiao Lin thought, the man in front of him who had no sense of distance was the main god of the Hermes Familia.
"Lord God Hermes..."
Xiao Lin was stunned.
Among the gods she encounters, there are idiots, domineering ones, cold ones, and perverted ones. Even Aqua will maintain the majesty of a god before revealing her true nature. But this was the first time I met a familiar and scary type like Hermes, and I didn't know what attitude to use to get along with him.
It seems that I still have to continue training.
Fortunately, Hermes is very good at mitigating this kind of embarrassment, or in other words, his intimate behavior can easily scare people, so he must learn to alleviate embarrassment.
Hermes held his chin, looked at Xiao Lin and said, "Well, now I'm finally relieved."
"……What?"
"Because Yasi Fei and the others admire you very much. They say you are strong and have a high IQ. There are also all kinds of weird rumors."
"Rumors?"
Xiao Lin scratched his head.
Even though he got along well with all the big guys, in fact he had no commendable heroic deeds in the labyrinth city. Even when he ventured in the dungeon, he almost always went alone.
I suddenly heard rumors about myself, which is quite novel when I think about it.
"For example, the eyes can see things that others cannot see, and the fists can burst out with incredible power, and the speed is so fast that even the eyes can't see anything. Listening to what they said, I thought you were some weird thing, curious. I came over quickly to check it out."
"Wait, am I Cthulhu?!"
Xiao Lin couldn't help but complain.
Although what he said is true, why does it sound so awkward?
It seems that the rumors are not only good.
"Hahaha, that's what I'm saying."
Lord Kami doesn't look like members of his own family members slandering others behind their backs and embarrassing them. It can be seen that he is indeed very thick-skinned.
This is also due to character.
Hermes is lazy by nature and is an entertainmentist who advocates entertainment to death, but he also pays attention to and interferes with things he finds interesting.
Originally, he was still traveling outside. By chance, a member of the family (Lulune) accepted a certain commission before returning to the labyrinth city. When Asfi was busy with the commission, he was attacked by the God of the Sky. Ouranos invites.
Due to the special nature of the guild, the Sky God, who must remain neutral, cannot recruit dependents.
Now that Xiao Lin is registered under the guild's name, the time is still short before any problems arise. But once other members of the clan protest, the guild will become very difficult to deal with.
Therefore, Ouranos proposed that Hermes take over Xiaolin.
——He is an outstanding child and should get along well with you.
So this time Asfi's mission in the dungeon, in addition to wiping Lulune's butt, also conducted a certain degree of inspection of Xiaolin.
But even Hermes didn't expect that members of his own family would praise him so much.
It seems that Ouranos did not say that deliberately to avoid trouble.
Hermes became even more satisfied with Xiao Lin.
"I always feel like we have a good compatibility."
"...I have only seen this sentence in notebooks."
Xiao Lin complained softly again.
Compatibility is just a parameter that represents whether it is easy for two people to have a good relationship.
Good compatibility means they will get along well.
It's just that Xiao Lin has only seen this word in books, so it's very ambiguous when it comes from Hermes' mouth.
Especially with the blessing of the actions just now, Xiao Lin only felt a chill enveloped him.
Fortunately, Hermes didn't hesitate too much, otherwise the promiscuous god would definitely grab his arm and ask Xiao Lin to explain it to him.
"Okay, in that case, let's go have a drink!"
"Why did the topic jump here?"
"Thank you, thank you! In order to thank Xiao Lin for taking care of my children, I invite you to have a drink with me. Don't worry, I will treat you."
Hermes gave a thumbs up and showed a refreshing smile again. Not an invitation that couldn't be refused, but an invitation that was hard to refuse.
Because he knew that the target of this god was himself.
Xiao Lin agreed.
"Okay. But there is no need to treat guests. Let me invite Hermes to worship you."
"Really?! That's great! In fact, I was in a hurry when I went out and forgot to bring money. When I said I wanted to treat a guest, I didn't know what to do. It's great. I don't have to stay there to wash the dishes and pay back the money. .”
"…………"
Do you want to listen to what you are saying.
What does it mean to treat guests without money?
The peace of mind under Hermes' refreshing smile seemed to be left to wash the dishes.
Finally I understand why the compatibility is better, because this god is really similar to Aqua in some aspects!
Miss Asfi, it seems that things are not easy between us.
The sudden silence caused Hermes to misunderstand.
"Do you regret the treat?"
"No, I'm just thinking about where to go for a drink."
Shaking his head, he changed the subject.
Since you want to invite the god to drink, you must not be stingy.
Even the idiot Aqua, who turns any liquid into pure water when she touches it, is a good drink, and Hermes, who likes to drink and enjoy elegant things, cannot be perfunctory.
"Go to the Mistress of Bountiful."
Xiao Lin suggested: "It's a lively tavern there, and the Loki family trusts it. Not only is the wine delicious, but the maids there are also very beautiful. It's a very good place to drink. How about it, God Hermes?" ?”
"No, no, no, no need to go to so much trouble, any pub will do."
"But……"
"That pub is on South Street, right? It's too far. And I'm not someone who needs ostentation. As long as I can drink, I'll be satisfied."
Hermes simply refused.
But this made Xiao Lin suspicious.
On the surface, Hermes does not seem to be a formalist, but those who know him know what his true nature is, and the god who likes the pretty maid decisively refuses.
It didn't matter if he didn't know the tavern, but he could still tell the exact location of the tavern.
Don’t you want to see Freya?
Or should I say, can't see you?
It seems that the elegant Lord God in front of him hides many secrets.
Xiao Lin remained calm on the surface, shrugged and said with some provocation: "In that case, let it be decided by God Hermes. No matter which tavern it is, God Hermes will definitely fall there today. .”
"Ah ha, how dare you say that! Let's go, I know a pub here, let's go there to drink."
Hermes rushed over and led Xiao Lin straight into the depths of the street.
Unlike South Street, where there are shops on both sides of the street, North Street is obviously a residential area, with many adventurers and small families living here.
Saw a familiar scene on the street.
Xiao Lin suddenly remembered that Bell had successfully defeated a silverback here before.
With their thoughts diverging, the two quickly came to a hidden tavern.
【Red Maple Pavilion】
Although it looks ordinary on the outside, once you open the door, there is something special inside. Like a cave that has been hollowed out, the space here is huge and there are quite a lot of adventurers. They are arguing loudly, bragging, and laughing.
Hermes took a deep breath of enjoyment.
"It's been a long time since I've been here, but it's still as lively here as ever."
"Yeah."
Xiaolin was very dull.
It was very lively here, but he was very used to it as he often went to the Hostess of Fengyao, and it was not as lively as when he was in the Adventurer's Guild in "Su Qing".
Hermes came to the corner and sat down in a familiar manner.
Soon, a waitress came to the front, and after Hermes said "same old", she left gracefully, and soon served some snacks and drinks for the two of them.
Lord God greeted: "Okay, you're welcome."
"...If I remember correctly, it's my treat."
Even so, Xiao Lin still raised his glass and clinked it with Hermes.
Take a sip.
“Delicious!”
Xiao Lin's eyes lit up.
Unlike bubble wine and other wines, this wine tastes really good.
Hermes also said with high spirits: "Right! That's why I brought you here specially, Xiaolin. How about you? You came right?"
really.
If the rich hostess sells service, then what this tavern sells is wine, which naturally tastes better.
If you don't know it, you may really be paralyzed by him.
However, after knowing that it is not simple, any reason is just an excuse in Xiao Lin's view, and naturally he will not gain his trust.
But it’s true that the wine tastes good.
"I just don't know if there is any good wine passed down by the Somo family on the market."
"...You don't have to think about it to know that it is definitely not, because it is a divine wine. Even if it is a defective leftover product, it is still a wine brewed by the gods."
Hermes' expression was slightly solemn.
It seems that he also knows about the Somo Familia.
This is of course true. Even if Hermes is elusive and likes to travel around, never staying in one place for more than half a month, the distortion of the Somo Familia has been going on for more than ten years. No matter how much you don't pay attention, you should know it.
As if to remind you, Hermes said in a frivolous tone: "Xiao Lin, you must not drink the wine made by Somo. It will be bad if you accidentally fall into it."
"Why? Isn't it possible to resist the wine of the Somo Familia as long as LV2?"
"That's not absolute. The wine brewed by Soma is also graded. Unlike defective products, even gods will fall into the finished product, so you must not drink it."
"I see, I will pay attention."
Despite saying this, he was actually more interested in the divine wine.
Everything has two sides.
The divine wine brewed by Soma will indeed make people addicted to it, but once they can break free, it will bring stronger mental power and willpower, which may not be regarded as a kind of training and practice.
It doesn't matter if he can't resist, Aqua will definitely help him return to normal.
"correct!"
Seeing that Xiao Lin seemed to be interested in the divine wine, Hermes quickly changed the subject.
"Xiao Lin, are you from Jidong?"
"Um?"
"Look, whether it's his name, black hair, or appearance, he looks very similar to an adventurer from the Far East, but he doesn't dress much like him."
The people of the Far East are very special.
No matter it's name, appearance, or dress, you can almost see it at a glance.
It is normal for Hermes to have such doubts.
"No, I am not an adventurer from the Far East." Xiao Lin shook his head and denied, "If you insist on saying so, I am not from the Far East."
"I see."
"What's the matter, Lord God?"
"No, nothing. Okay, let's keep chatting. What I like most is small talk."
Hermes likes to travel, and in order to relieve the loneliness of travel and understand the local customs and customs, he needs to chat, and most of the information is obtained through chatting and a little bit of brainpower.
He is essentially a troublesome god who has a lot of information and secrets about Orario and its surroundings but always fails to do anything about it.
Hermes's drinking capacity is quite exaggerated. In the blink of an eye, the table was filled with empty wine glasses, all of which he drank from.
"Hiccup-"
Hermes dropped the glass on the table and burped with satisfaction. Just when Xiao Lin thought he had drunk enough, he unexpectedly said again:
"Okay! Go to the next one!"
"……Huh?"
"Hey, hey, you don't think it's enough to just drink here, do you? We're going to the next place to have a drink again!"
Where did you get the wine table culture from?
Xiao Lin's face was filled with disgust.
In fact, he was very restrained, but he couldn't accept the way the other person looked exactly like Aqua.
But since I had agreed to the treat, I had no choice but to pinch my nose and admit it.
"So, where to go after that?"
“Of course it’s a place that all men like!”
Hermes smiled wildly.
In the labyrinth city, if you had to choose a place that all men like, it would be the Flower Street.
The breathing and interweaving of the night is undoubtedly a thrilling place.
"Since you said you are going to treat me, then I will stay with you until the end... Although I really want to say this, God Hermes, it seems that someone is coming to see you."
"Find me?"
Hermes was stunned.
But immediately, a cold breath enveloped him from behind.
"God Hermes."
"Yo, yo, Asfi, do you want a drink?"
The god's face changed, he turned his head to look at the child who came to catch him, and said hello to her in fear.
After seeing Yasi Fei's gloomy expression, he felt that he was in danger.
