Chapter 156 The Monster Festival Arrives
Roy was very busy during this time.
We need to plan the hunt for unknown enemies, scout the terrain of Orario, test the functions of the Shikon Jewel, purchase a large amount of supplies, put them into our spatial rings, and also go to the Ganesha Familia to remind them to avoid a large number of monsters appearing on the surface, causing casualties.
But to be honest, Roy felt it wouldn't be very effective.
Because he couldn't provide any evidence, everything came from Cassandra's vague "prophetic dreams".
The Monster Festival will not be stopped for such a ridiculous reason, and the Ganesha Familia is unlikely to mobilize a large number of people to prevent such a thing.
Two days passed quickly amidst the hustle and bustle, and finally the day of the Monster Festival arrived.
A hint of weariness flashed in Roy's eyes. He had finally managed to get everything arranged and barely made it in time.
The only pity is that he didn't reach LV.4.
Roy estimated that he would need at least 1500 more free attribute points to reach his maximum ability value.
With only two days left, even if he worked tirelessly, he couldn't possibly accumulate those attribute points. Moreover, "Divine Descent" consumed a lot of mental energy, so he needed to conserve enough physical strength and energy to deal with the enemy.
Roy didn't pay much attention to this.
There is a synchronization contract!
Having obtained Ryu's LV.5 ability value, Roy wasn't in a particular hurry to level up to LV.4, especially with three LV.6 powerhouses from the Loki Familia as his backup!
He'd like to see who dares to cause trouble today!
At that moment, at the entrance to the Star Garden, Roy encountered a slightly tricky situation.
"Mr. Roy, please take us with you!"
Cassandra clung tightly to Roy's clothes.
Roy looked troubled. The original plan was for him and Ryu to go out and seduce the bewitches, while Daphne and Cassandra would protect the goddess Astrea and stay in the Star Court.
"Cassandra, don't say such nonsensical things," Daphne said, pulling Cassandra along.
They had all seen how busy Roy had been these past two days in order to eliminate those hidden threats, and they wouldn't allow anyone to disrupt Roy's plans.
Roy stared at Cassandra, a cryptic glint in his eyes. Even now, he couldn't comprehend "prophetic dreams."
The content.
The poems presented in the abstract content of "prophetic dreams" cannot be interpreted to contain any useful information.
Roy asked softly, "What did you interpret this time?"
Cassandra, who was on the verge of tears, brightened up and said haltingly, "The previous part was incomplete; I dreamed about it again later."
Roy felt a chill run down his spine; the future seemed shrouded in mist, impossible to see clearly.
Every choice will lead to new changes.
As before, Cassandra was unable to articulate the new prophecy, but the closer they got to the Monster Festival, the more acute the sense of danger became.
"Okay, let's go together!" Roy agreed; it was better to have this great prophet by his side.
Upon hearing this, Cassandra breathed a sigh of relief.
Roy returned to the mansion and told Ryu and the goddess Astrea. Naturally, the two had no objections, and the group left the Star Garden.
Apart from the necessary protective gear, all other weapons were stored in Roy's spatial ring, and they looked no different from people who went out for a trip.
The goddess Astraea wore a flowing blue and white dress that hugged her exquisite figure. Her long brown hair cascaded down like a waterfall, sparkling with a bright light, and her blue eyes were as dazzling as jewels.
Her delicate lips were slightly upturned, holding a faint smile, exuding elegance, nobility, and graceful charm. She restrained her imposing presence and radiated a natural beauty.
Liu wore a simple vest and jacket, her long golden hair was tied in a single ponytail, and her beautiful and aloof face, with a cold gaze, could make some masochistic gods feel a strange tingling sensation all over their bodies.
Her slender legs were clad in white boots, and her brisk and powerful strides conveyed a decisive and efficient style.
Although Daphne and Cassandra are only fourteen years old, they are beautiful girls with their own unique charm.
As the group walked down the street, they attracted almost 100% attention, not only because of the Astrea Familia's reputation, but also because of a large group of beautiful girls.
It's pleasing to the eye.
Almost all the male adventurers had red eyes, filled with jealousy and envy, staring intently at Roy, the only male in the group, wishing they could take his place.
The female adventurers' gazes were also fixed on Roy, their eyes seemingly sparkling with hearts.
Orario is never short of fun.
Some busybodies have created quite a few lists behind the scenes.
Thanks to his record-breaking leveling speed, Roy ranked first on the "Most Promising Adventurer" list. If he doesn't die, he'll dominate the list from now on.
Having subdued the Soma Familia and amassed a fortune, Roy ranks ninth on Orario's "Strongest, Richest, and Most Handsome Man" list and seventh on the "Most Desired Man for Women" list. The only people ahead of Roy are veteran adventurers like Finn, Ota, and Leon Wadenberg, as well as certain gods.
After defeating three Familias in succession, the Astrea Familia became famous, no less so than at its peak, which naturally attracted many people to try to join.
Without exception, they were turned away.
The Astrea Familia's recruitment standards aren't exactly strict; anyone with a sense of justice can join. However, finding such a person in the chaotic world of Orario is no less difficult than awakening a rare skill.
Therefore, there were only eleven people at the peak, and Goddess Astraea's principle was to have fewer but better ones.
Unfortunately, she is the kind of person who goes with the flow and doesn't actively seek out new members, which has resulted in the clan not having any new members for a long time.
Although the goddess Astraea cannot see the color of the soul, she can sense it to some extent.
Those who want to join them are undoubtedly after profit and fame.
Otherwise, why didn't they come to join when the Astrea Familia was wiped out?
The pinnacle is met with false support.
As the saying goes, "If you don't stand by a tiger when it's fallen, who will you be when it rises again?" Astraea has not forgotten that when the Familia was in its most difficult time, only Roy helped them.
For Roy, this is a good thing.
With too many members in his clan, his secrets would inevitably be exposed. If that happened, he would have no choice but to leave the Star Court in a semi-retired manner.
Goddess Astraea laughed and said, "This is quite rare; it's one of the few times we have team building activities."
Since the resurgence of the clan, the only time they had a small gathering at the tavern to celebrate the successful completion of the expedition was when they were interrupted by Riveria and Ais.
Daphne and Cassandra were both amused and exasperated; this "team building" might actually be a bit dangerous!
"I'm so sorry, Lady Astrea." Liu Xiao looked apologetic, feeling really bad for involving the goddess in such a dangerous matter.
"It's nothing, it's nothing."
Astraea smiled and comforted Ryu, saying that as a goddess, how could she stand behind her beloved child?
