Reversing fate from the signing of the contract

Tall and with a weapon on his back, he doesn't look any different from most people in the labyrinth city.

But she felt a special temperament from the other party, like a wounded animal, full of vigilance about the surroundings.

Lan Xing's weird reaction aroused her curiosity, so she couldn't help but use the power of the gods to try to spy on Lan Xing's soul.

Then she saw a scarred but extremely gentle soul.

It was this glance that gave her the idea of ​​taking Lan Xing as a family member. After all, it is not uncommon to see scarred souls, but it is rare to see scarred souls who are willing to treat others tenderly.

In her opinion, even if Lan Xing with such a soul could not become a hero, at least he would not disappoint her.

Actually it is.

After getting along with Lan Xing, she gradually got used to Lan Xing's maturity and stability. In her impression, Lan Xing was always able to respond calmly and confidently to any problem.

But at this moment, feeling Lan Xing's slightly shrugging shoulders and the suppressed emotions in his heart, Hestia finally remembered everything.

This seemingly strong man is actually full of scars in his heart.

Her originally stiff body gradually returned to normal, and her outstretched arms slowly closed. The moment she hugged Lan Xing back, she even felt Lan Xing's body stiffen unconsciously, but the difference was that this time the other party Did not push himself away.

But for some reason, Hestia at this time had more of an indescribable emotion than happiness.

"Blue Star, you are my family, as your main god, I will always believe in you and stand with you..."

The reason why Hestia remained silent after Hercules appeared was because of the divinity of the other party, but at this moment, feeling the soft heart under Lan Xing's seemingly strong exterior, she couldn't help comforting her in a low voice. While looking at Lan Xing, he patted his back lightly.

Only then did she feel that Lan Xing's stiff body gradually returned to normal...

Chapter 26 'Homecoming'

The over-excited emotions gradually calmed down under the comfort of Hestia.

Until then, Lan Xing finally noticed his gaffe, and he quickly pushed Hestia's shoulder away.

If Blue Star usually made such an action, Hestia would probably puff her cheeks and stare at Lan Xing for a while, but looking at Lan Xing's red eye sockets and embarrassed gaze, she couldn't help it. Laughed.

Blue Star felt even more embarrassed when Hestia smiled, but at this moment Hestia suddenly hugged Blue Star again.

It's just that unlike before, when Blue Star took the initiative to hug Hestia, this time Hestia hugged Blue Star's head and held him in her arms.

"I don't know what other people think, but for me, the family members are my family, so you can tell me anything, Lan Xing... As your main god, even if you do something wrong, I will also forgive you and redeem your sins with you, so... don't worry, from the day you became my family member, you are no longer alone."

Perhaps because of her figure, coupled with Hestia's optimistic personality, Blue Star always unconsciously treats Hestia as a child, and her usual respect can also be understood as a kind of pampering.

But at this moment, after listening to Hestia's words, Lan Xing finally realized that although she looked young, in fact, the goddess she served had spent countless years in the God Realm.

At this time, Lan Xing felt the sense of tolerance from Hestia's body, which made his impetuous emotions seem to calm down.

And Hestia, who was holding Lan Xing's head, felt that Lan Xing had put a part of her body weight on her because of relaxation. It is the contribution of one party, but it should be the progress of mutual support.

In her opinion, this is the performance of Blue Star's true trust in herself.

At this time, neither Blue Star nor Hestia seemed to be aware of the passage of time until————

"Da~da~"

The knocking sound of the small leather shoes and the floor awakened the two of them suddenly. For some reason, Hestia, who felt a little guilty, almost instinctively glanced at the direction of the sound, and then saw a golden mass poking around the corner of the wall.

There were only five people in the whole office, and Hestia naturally guessed who the owner of the hair was, and she shoved Lan Xing a little embarrassedly.

As for Lan Xing, he didn't even need to use his eyes to see, he could tell that the person who just sneaked over to peek was Eve just through his voice.

I just don't know if it was because of his self-esteem as an adult that he didn't know how to face each other for a while.

But he still instinctively let go of the hands holding Hestia, and then he suddenly found that although Hestia looked normal, her ears turned red for some reason.

As for Hestia, she noticed that the corners of Lan Xing's eyes were red.

Then the two of them seemed to have made an agreement in advance, and they laughed at the same time.

And Eve, who was originally hiding behind the corner, couldn't help coming over when she saw Lan Xing and Hestia laughing, as if she wanted to see what made them laugh so happily.

When Lan Xing carried Eve and Hestia down the second floor, chatting and laughing, Tiayou, who was entertaining Hercules for Lan Xing, couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. It was the first time I saw Hestia showing such a serious expression.

So when she saw that Lan Xing and Hestia had gone to the second floor for such a long time without any reaction, she couldn't help asking Eve to take a look.

After all, in her opinion, both Blue Star and Hestia dote on Eve very much.

Now that the three of them came back talking and laughing, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting."

At this time, Blue Star has completed the change of clothes.

There is no change in the weapon from before, it is still the longbow and quiver stuck in the slot on the back, and the double knives hanging on the waist.

As for the armor, it is a set of relatively light leather armor, covered with a cloak with concealment effect.

Compared with Lan Xing who was wearing daily clothes before, he looked a little more sturdy at this time.

Facing Blue Star's apology, Hercules shook his head in understanding.

After all, "family" is also extremely important to him.

Seeing Hercules' reaction, Blue Star stopped talking nonsense, but handed the signed contract to the other party.

The only difference is that this time the contract was also signed with Blue Star's name.

Without the slightest hesitation, Hercules directly grasped the contract handed over by Lan Xing.

While he was holding the contract book, the contract book turned into light spots and merged into the opponent's body, and then a key emitting faint fluorescence slowly emerged from his chest, and at the same time, the "Gate of Destiny" also appeared. As if resonating, it emits a faint fluorescence.

Unlike any previous guest, Hercules could clearly feel that his power was slowly passing away.

This feeling of gradually losing power made him a little overwhelmed, but then he calmed down again, because he had already prepared himself to sacrifice himself.

It is different from the reason why the vast majority of Heroic Spirits accepted the invitation to the 'Holy Grail War'.

He doesn't believe in the so-called 'universal wish-making machine', because this is something that even the gods can't do. He doesn't believe that human magicians can do it. The reason why he responds to the call of the Holy Grail ceremony is just because of one reason— ————A child is calling him and needs his help.

That's it.

What's more, he who failed in the Holy Grail War should have returned to the Seat of Heroes through the root. Now that he has another chance to save the girl who called him, how could he back down?

What's the point of using his power as a sacrifice?

Under the gaze of Hercules, Blue Star held the key on his chest.

The light faded, and Blue Star took one last look at Hercules.

At this time, Hercules has temporarily lost consciousness because of the "contract". Looking at the strong man in front of him, Lan Xing unconsciously became a little nervous. Anything more terrifying than that.

But when he saw Hestia, Tiayo and Eve who were standing aside from the corner of his eye, his nervous mood gradually calmed down.

Because... he already has a home...

Chapter 27 'Intruders'

It was already the third time that Blue Star had performed the "special main line" and had gradually become accustomed to passing through the light curtain, but when he crossed the light curtain, it was a roll as always.

Although I didn't encounter the enemy twice before, who can guarantee that I won't encounter it this time?

When Lan Xing squatted up with one hand on the ground and looked around, he was relieved.

Because at this time he was in a forest, the only difference was that this time the forest he was in was silver, and he was in a snowy field at this time.

It has to be said that this environment is very unfriendly to hunters, because the traces of movement are too obvious.

But fortunately, Blue Star also has a way to deal with it.

He first brushed off the snow on his head with a duster, and then with a long breath, he saw Lan Xing pull out his left leg from the snow and step on the snow again, but this time it was different from before. The feet are not completely sunk in the snow.

After he took a few steps, he was completely able to walk on the snow.

"Sure enough, the ripple breathing method is more magical than imagined..."

For Blue Star, 'ripple' is generally used for body strengthening as a combat skill or healing skill, but in fact the magic of 'ripple breathing' is not only that.

The use of corrugations can not only allow the body to attach to some things, but can even strengthen some things with excellent conductivity. With Blue Star's current corrugation strength, it is even enough to strengthen ordinary branches harder than steel.

But so far he hasn't encountered an opportunity to use this ability. After all, Blue Star, who has a cautious personality, basically never leaves his weapon whenever he goes out.

In addition, using ripples to walk on water and snow is also a skill that most ripple messengers have mastered.

In fact, except for the wild way of Blue Star, other Ripple messengers including Jonathan have mastered similar skills. After all, the Ripple messenger's hometown is on the Himalayas. A convenient way to work out your ripples?

But fortunately, although Blue Star didn't have much experience, he successfully mastered it after a few experiments after understanding the principle.

After erasing all traces extremely cautiously, Lan Xing carefully began to explore.

According to several previous experiences, the door opened by the 'Key of Destiny' should not be too far from the goal of his mission.

With this in mind, Lan Xing cautiously groped into the depths of the forest.

It's just that Lan Xing soon felt something was wrong.

Although he was in an unfamiliar forest at this time, as a hunter, he had countless ways to turn this forest into his home field, and what he relied on was his various knowledge.

Lan Xing, who suddenly thought of something, grabbed the branch beside him and dragged it in front of him.

Following Lanxing's rough movements, the snow on the branches scattered all over the ground, and Lanxing's expression became more and more ugly.

Although he couldn't tell the specific type of tree in his hand, he could tell from the leaves that it should belong to a deciduous tree.

Lan Xing finally knew what was wrong with him.

There is also green in the snow-covered world, but there is no doubt that it is definitely not deciduous trees!

'Ripple Sprint'

Although 'Hercules' did not give Blue Star much information, from what the other party said, he could understand that his 'quest destination' was a special profession called 'magician'.

Although the name is a bit strange, according to the other party's description, he has already compared it to a 'magician'.

So he didn't use ripples after passing through the 'Gate of Destiny'. He was worried that he would be discovered if he used ripples casually. After all, according to his experience, although ripples are hidden, they are not really undetectable, even black cats who don't know much about magic. Relying on his extraordinary mental strength, he noticed his ripple detection,

Does anyone know if the so-called 'magicians' have similar abilities?

But right now, he couldn't care less about it.

As the ripples spread in all directions, Blue Star finally found something unusual.

The reason why these trees can grow smoothly is that a special energy is slowly being supplied to it from the ground.

'Sure enough, this is not a normal forest...'

But when Lan Xing was thinking about how to act next, a strange sense of spying made him instinctively pull out the two knives at his waist and look around vigilantly.

Obviously, the spreading ripples told him that there was no one around, but the instinctive sense of crisis kept reminding him that this was not the case.

'What exactly is going on? '

It was the first time Lan Xing encountered this strange situation while looking around vigilantly, while preparing to enter the 'ghost-humanization' at any time.

There was nothing wrong with Blue Star's ripples, there was indeed no one around except him, but at the same time there was nothing wrong with his feeling, because at this moment there was a pair of eyes watching him through the glass ball.

"Who is this guy who broke into 'Winter Garden'? Serra, do you know?"

The white-haired girl in a purple vest looked at the maid beside her with some doubts.

But without waiting for the other party to speak, she started talking to herself again.

"Could it be the Archer? No... the Archer is dark, and other servants have also appeared, so could it be another Master? Or some other magician who got into the 'Holy Grail War' by mistake?"

The white-haired girl talked to herself but shook her head.

"Forget it, never mind, Sera, you and Lijie Lite help me arrest him, today is the day I meet my cute 'brother', I can't be disturbed by irrelevant guys, after all, I still have a lot to talk about To ask him..."

Mingming had a smile on her face, but for some reason her eyes were complicated.

"Yes, please leave it to us, miss."

The maid standing by the side agreed without hesitation after hearing the white-haired girl's words, while the other maid nodded despite her slow reaction.

Although the two hadn't spoken a word since they left the castle, they had a tacit understanding in their actions.

Among them, the maid named Lijielit holding a long-handled battle ax opened the way in front, while the maid named Sera followed closely behind. Without seeing her move at all, she saw silver threads flying in the air. It consists of birds of various shapes.

It is obvious that Lijie Lite, who holds a long-handled battle ax, is better at melee combat, while the maid named Sera is a 'magician'.

Bird is looking ahead, Lijielit holding a long-handled battle ax is in the vanguard, and Sera is in the rear.

The pathfinding birds were originally shuttling through the woods, but they suddenly disappeared after reaching a certain area. It is obvious that there are actually many secrets hidden in this seemingly normal forest.
