"I've been discovered, huh... But so what if I have? At the height of the flying dragon, they can't attack me at all! Besides, even returning to the starting point is useless!"
"All the flying dragons have been placed elsewhere by me. It would take a lot of time to find a flying dragon and take the opportunity to deal with me."
"With such a round trip, even Lady Alfia wouldn't have enough energy to find Lu Yuan."
Directly above Hestia and her group.
On the back of the flying dragon.
Ryu Lion gently pressed down on her wind-blown hair, looked down at the figures below, and whispered.
Ryu Lion once again felt sincere admiration for the wisdom of her own goddess.
However.
Just like before, when Astraea led her and Alise to stay in the eastern part of the Great Tree Sea, waiting to be found.
This time, her goddess's old problem has resurfaced.
She could have completely let Alise ride the second flying dragon and put the [Arrow of Orion] on the dragon's back.
If that were the case, the win rate of their familia in the game could have increased to 100%!
But in order to make the game 'more interesting', Astraea simply asked Ryu Lion to report the whereabouts of Hestia and her group, while she took the [Arrow of Orion] and Alise to hide.
From this, it can be seen that even the Goddess of Justice occasionally cannot avoid being infected with the bad habits of a fun-loving god.
"I hope there won't be any more problems this time......"
After taking another look at Hestia and her group below.
After confirming that there were no abnormalities, Ryu Lion, as usual, began to report the specific locations of both sides to Astraea.
......
"Hestia, let me go, let's cooperate to find Orion, if this goes on, Orion will be snatched away by that Astraea!"
Late at night.
In the forest of the Great Tree Sea, a cluster of shimmering white light shone on the two familias.
Making the surroundings appear not so dark.
Of course.
All the members of the Artemis Familia were still tied to the ground.
But at this time.
Artemis, as the goddess, no longer had the composure she possessed during the day.
She didn't expect that.
She, who thought she had the highest chance of winning, would actually be the most disadvantaged one among the three parties.
After hearing the request, Hestia looked at Alfia: "Alfia, what do you think......"
"Do you want to be tied up?" Alfia raised an eyebrow, glanced at Hestia, and then stopped paying attention.
Hestia: "......"
"But, if we do nothing, Yuan will really be taken away by Astraea......" Hestia tried to persuade Alfia to release Artemis as a helper.
But.
Her persuasion obviously had no value.
Alfia once again refused without hesitation.
"Lili, what do you think of the current situation?" Ignoring the frustrated Hestia, Alfia looked at Lili, who was on the side, and asked.
This was obviously a plan to train her.
"Reporting to Lady Alfia, in Lili's opinion, we simply cannot avoid the flying dragon's detection during the day. Therefore, Lili believes that nighttime is the best time to find Master Lu Yuan," Lili blurted out.
This was not just a random statement.
The deeper the night, the weaker the light from the moon in the sky.
In addition, Ryu Lion must stay at a high altitude to avoid being shot down by Alfia's magic.
Ryu Lion's vision at night would be greatly hindered!
Lili believed that in such a situation, closing the distance with the Astraea Familia was not a problem at all!
"It is the best time to find Lu Yuan, but, I estimate that even at the darkest time of the night, Ryu Lion will be staring at me non-stop! So......"
"So?" Hestia and the others present, and even Artemis and her group, looked at Alfia, waiting for her answer.
"So, Bell, this task will be entrusted to you!"
"In a while, I will give you the super locator, and you will secretly go and bring Lu Yuan back alone," Alfia looked at her nephew Bell beside her.
Even now, she still hasn't told Bell her identity.
Rather than becoming Bell's backer, she felt that watching this nephew grow up in the dark was also a good choice.
"Ah!? Me?" Bell pointed at himself with his finger in confusion.
Is it really okay to entrust such a big matter to him so casually?
"Yes! It's up to you! Of course, if you can't bring Lu Yuan back, hehe...... [Gospel]!"
Buzz!
The terrifying sound magic appeared again.
Invisible ripples spread out.
In an instant.
Large swaths of trees were broken in half, like a hurricane passing through.
'Gudong', Bell couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and immediately stood up straight, gave a salute, and said: "I, I guarantee to complete the mission!"
At the same time.
Above the sky.
Ryu Lion frowned as she looked at the billowing smoke and dust after the explosion below: "Are they planning to use the darkness and smoke to confuse my vision, and then take the opportunity to escape?"
"However, Lady Alfia, as long as I keep an eye on you, the victory of this game will surely belong to our Astraea Familia!"
In Ryu Lion's perception, the strongest adventurer below besides Alfia was only .
Even if someone among them found the goddess and Alise, they would definitely not be Alise's opponent!
Therefore.
Regarding Ryu Lion's stalking, rather than saying it was Hestia and her group, it would be better to say that her target was Alfia herself!
After all, which member of the Astraea Familia doesn't know the terror of Alfia?
And so.
Under Ryu Lion's relaxation, a white-haired figure quietly left the team and sped towards Astraea's location.
......
A few hours later.
The time was almost approaching midnight.
Just when Astraea, who was both the game referee and a participant, was about to win.
Bell finally arrived at the place where Astraea and the two were located.
However, in order to avoid accidents, Astraea had deliberately wrapped a layer of white cloth around the [Arrow of Orion].
The so-called condition of [seeing the artifact's main body] could not be met for the time being!
If he wanted to untie the white cloth and bring the artifact's main body into view, Bell had to first defeat Alise, the captain of the Astraea Familia!
"So, in the end, we still have to fight......" Holding a long sword, held horizontally in front of her chest, Alise came to Bell with high fighting spirit, blocking his path.
For her Master Lu Yuan, she must win this battle no matter what!
"Lady Astraea, Brother Yuan is a member of our familia, can't you really just hand him over?" Bell tried to persuade Astraea to hand over Lu Yuan's main body directly to him.
"This, this......" Astraea stammered, holding the Lu Yuan wrapped in white cloth.
She was stalling for time!
Now, the first ray of sunlight was about to appear.
She was about to win the game! The so-called negotiation was actually nothing to talk about at all!
"I see, it seems we have no choice but to fight......" After a wry smile, Bell's expression immediately turned serious, holding the [Tearaway Blade], lowered his body, and quickly rushed towards Alise!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Three times in a row, Bell's short sword accurately struck the blade of Alise's long sword.
"Hehe, it's too late, with Alise's strength, stopping Bell is more than enough! Plus, the time is almost up......"
Looking at the two people fighting in the arena, Astraea once again revealed a smile.
Without Alfia's interference, this game is really easy to win~~
However.
At the moment when she relaxed!
Buzz.
An invisible ripple suddenly bloomed from Bell's body and quickly spread around!
By the time Astraea came back to her senses.
The [Arrow of Orion] in her hand had disappeared and was being held by Bell.
Even the cloth strips wrapped around the artifact had disappeared at this moment.
The main body of the [Arrow of Orion] appeared!
"How is this possible!!"
At the moment Astraea exclaimed.
The first ray of sunlight from the sky fell, and the game ended.
