Soman Shuchiin, starting from Fulilian to become a magician

Apollo showed a smug smile, turned around and was about to leave with his family, but an uninvited guest interrupted his good mood.

"That won't do, Apollo."

"Hermes, what do you mean? Are you also colluding with the dark faction?"

When Apollo saw the god coming, he put a big hat on him without giving any explanation.

Hermes smiled bitterly and raised his hands. "Don't talk nonsense. War games must be decided by drawing lots in the presence of the gods. The private decisions of the two parties are not valid."

"You don't want Uranus to be angry, do you?"

Apollo subconsciously glanced at the Tower of Babel, a trace of fear flashing across his face, but he quickly hid it, snorted coldly, and left.

"Then hold a divine meeting tomorrow night."

Hermes watched the Apollo family members leave and fell into deep thought, but he quickly came to his senses and gave Ye Shanming a kind smile and greeted him:

"The old man told me to tell you that apart from releasing your divine power, you can do whatever you want. Don't worry too much."

"Also, I really didn't spread that rumor. I'm also investigating the source of this matter."

"What about Apollo?"

Since Uranus could let Hermes be his messenger, it meant that he was not from the dark faction. Ye Shanming half-acquiesced to his friendly identity and continued to ask questions.

Hermes shook his head helplessly. "I've checked, and he has nothing to do with this matter. He's just a simple idiot."

The news that Apollo and Akira Yeshan had privately agreed to launch a war game quickly caused an uproar in Orario.

Generally speaking, war games are only started when two gods have an irreconcilable hatred. For Apollo to use such a superficial reason, if he had not had this kind of character when he was in heaven, the gods would have suspected that he was the one colluding with the dark faction.

But for the gods, the reason why the war game started is not important, as long as it is fun to watch.

Therefore, under the notification of Hermes, even though the divine meeting had been held only two days ago, the gods gladly accepted the invitation and came to witness the war game between the two.

In the circular hall, a small platform was placed in the center. Ye Shanming and Apollo sat opposite each other, and the seats around them were filled with gods waiting to watch the fun.

On the table between the two of them, there was a box, isolated from all outside detection. It was filled with notes, which were all suggestions from the gods on the format of the war game.

"Is it okay for me to draw the lots?"

Hermes walked onto the stage and stood between the two of them. Apollo's face was filled with smugness, and he spread his hands out in a pretentious manner.

"I feel assured that Hermes, who is absolutely fair and impartial, will draw the lots."

He was just an unknown god who was not even heard of in the heavens. He had only been in the mortal world for four days, and even his followers only had two Lv.1. Apollo really couldn't imagine how he lost the war game.

He had even begun to imagine his family becoming heroes of Orario, with countless handsome and beautiful children rushing to join them.

In short, I have 1 Lv.3, several Lv.2 and a large number of Lv.1, so the advantage is mine.

Hermes ignored Apollo and turned his gaze to Ye Shanming. After obtaining the latter's approval, he reached into the box with his right hand. After a moment, he took out a piece of paper and read out the words on it.

"The form is a siege."

"Hahaha."

The moment Apollo heard the result, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. "It's exactly as planned. You drew it yourself, Hermes. Now you have no reason to stop me."

Hermes smiled bitterly and shook his head. The box was a sacred tool made by the gods and could not be tampered with at all. It could only be said that Ye Shanming was unlucky.

It just so happens that siege warfare is the one that requires the most hard power of the clan. If it were any other form, there might still be a chance to mediate.

"I won't go too far. I'll leave the siege to you."

With victory assured, Apollo did not mind giving up the theoretical advantage to the attackers to demonstrate his magnanimity.

"that……"

Hermes raised his right hand and interrupted Apollo: "Ye Shanming has only been in the mortal world for four days, and there are only two members of his family. Can we postpone the time to three months?"

"Huh? How could I possibly agree to something like this!"

Apollo directly rejected Hermes' proposal.

"Just a three-month delay has made you so unconfident. Is that all Orario's heroes are?"

Freya held her chin with both hands, a faint smile on her face, but the sarcasm in her words distorted Apollo's calm expression.

"The Monster Festival is in three months. How can we delay it until then?"

Ishtar, who always disliked Freya, spoke and looked at Freya. He found that the latter's eyes were always on Ye Shanming. She didn't care about him at all and clenched her right fist.

"Yes, yes, the Monster Festival is also important."

Ganesha, wearing an elephant-head mask, nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Ishtar's words and offering his own suggestion:

"How about we have both sides look for external aid, and set the time for a week from now?"

As soon as this was said, the gods started to make noises. Apollo could only hold his nose and agree, but he quickly added an additional condition:

"Okay, but I require both sides to invite external aid, and it must be from a clan other than Orario!"

Apollo was immediately drowned out by a burst of boos, but he didn't care at all and waited for Ye Shanming's answer.

"so be it."

Ye Shanming sat up from his chair and left the circular hall directly.

The details of the war game between the Apollo family and the Hayama Akira family at the Divine Assembly quickly spread throughout Orario, and all adventurers and gods were looking forward to the siege battle starting a week later.

At night, on the rooftop of the Apollo family's residence, a fragile girl stood quietly on the edge, her long dark blue hair covering her eyes, a look of worry on her face.

"Cassandra, why are you still awake so late? Are you having those strange dreams of yours again?"

A girl with short red hair walked onto the rooftop and approached her friend. Cassandra nodded, her ethereal voice mingling with the night wind:

"I dreamed that the sun was covered by black wings. It seems that Lord Apollo is going to lose this war game."

"How can it be."

The red-haired girl patted her shoulder carelessly, not believing Cassandra's words at all.

"Even if they find reinforcements, it's still hundreds of people against three. Furthermore, I heard that Lord Apollo borrowed a Level 6 adventurer from Lord Kali as reinforcement."

"How could I lose?"

Cassandra was not at all dissatisfied with her friend's attitude, and continued to look down with concern.

The next morning, Lilyluka got up earlier than usual and rushed straight to the Tower of Babel, dragging the still sleepy Mercury Lamp.

"Mercury Lamp, from today on, let me join the battle."

"What aroused you?"

Mercury Lamp yawned, and as she was still sleepy, she subconsciously asked back.

Lilyluka had a serious look on her face. Despite her small body, she exuded an aura that made Mercury Lamp couldn't help but look sideways.

"The war game against Apollo's Familia will begin in a week. I want to reach Level 2 during this time!"

On the eighth floor of the Tower of Babel, Ye Shanming, led by members of Hephaestus's family, came to Hephaestus's exclusive forging room.

"You're here to get the blueprints for the divinely created armor, right?"

When Hephaestus saw him, he put down the unfinished product in his hand, rummaged through his messy workbench for a long time, and handed Ye Shanming a piece of parchment covered with various complicated patterns.

"Here, I've been working tirelessly these past few days to fulfill your request. I didn't even know about the war game until this morning."

There was an indelible look of fatigue on Hephaestus's face. It was obvious that designing the divine weapon had consumed a lot of her energy.

"I always feel like I made a loss. If the deal hadn't been done, I would have really wanted to raise the price."

Ye Shanming glanced at the parchment and found that he could only roughly understand it. He simply put the parchment away and asked directly:

"What materials are needed?"

"Black dragon blood, immortal essence core and Orichalcum steel."

When Ye Shanming heard this, even though he was mentally prepared, he still showed an indescribable expression.

Seeing his expression, Hephaestus laughed happily. This was the expression on Ye Shanming's face that she wanted to see. She patted his shoulder and comforted him:

"It's okay, it's okay. When the Hera clan and the Zeus clan defeated the black dragon, although they failed, I collected some of its blood. I can sell some to you."

"I have some Oliha Steel in stock, and I can sell it to you at a friendly price."

Upon hearing that Hephaestus had stocks of black dragon blood, Ye Shanming breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had only been in Orario for a few days, he also knew that the subjugation of the black dragon was the only one of the three major commissions that had not been completed.

As early as the time when the gods had not yet descended to the mortal world, there were three monsters in the underworld that were powerful enough to destroy the world. Two of them had been conquered during the heyday of Zeus's and Hera's families.

Only when they were fighting against the remaining black dragon, the two clans, which even had adventurers capped at Lv.9, were defeated and disbanded. They were then driven out of Orario by the Loki clan and the Freya clan.

It was also because of this turmoil that Orario lost the existence of adventurers above Lv. 7, and the dark faction caused chaos, leading to the birth of the Dark Age.

Based solely on these records about the black dragon, Ye Shanming estimated that it was definitely on the same level as the final demon king of the Fulilian world.

Hephaestus continued:

"Before the gods descended to heaven, immortal spirits protected the lower world. However, we haven't heard of any immortal spirits appearing in many years, so the immortal spirit core is actually the most troublesome one."

"Perhaps there are still immortal spirits in the deepest part of the dungeon?"

"I'll find a way to find the immortal spirit. Thank you."

Ye Shanming thanked him sincerely, put away the parchment, and turned to leave.

After leaving the Tower of Babel, I looked up at the sky. It was already noon. I would go to the Dusk Pavilion to train Ais soon.

With this in mind, he planned to go to the Hostess of Abundance for lunch first. As for going to the dungeon to look for the immortal spirit, he would concentrate on it after he was done with this period of time.

After all, he had received a large sum of money from Loki, so it would not be nice to break the contract just like that.

"Oh, what a coincidence, Ye Shanming, I meet you again."

As soon as Ye Shanming walked into the Hostess of Abundance, Hermes, who was sitting in the corner, immediately waved his hand.

"You were waiting for me, weren't you?"

Ye Shanming walked straight over, sat opposite him, and directly exposed his words.

Hermes touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly: "You figured it out, but I found a good foreign aid for you."

"foreign aid?"

After saying that, Hermes looked in another direction, and Ye Shanming followed his gaze. Xier was walking towards them with a smile, holding the hand of an elf girl with short green hair.

"Ryu? Isn't she from Orario?"

Ye Shanming turned around and looked at Hermes.

"She used to be, but something happened and her family has left Orario, so she meets the restrictions set by Apollo."

As he spoke, Hermes winked at him, a mysterious smile on his face. "Lyu's affairs are not secretive among the gods. If you are interested, you can ask Loki. She knows everything."

"And Liu can be of great help in tracking down the dark faction. Why not take this opportunity to build a good relationship with her?"

While Hermes was explaining to Ye Shanming, Xier had already brought Liu over. She smiled at Ye Shanming, left her alone there, and went to receive the guests herself.

"God Hermes has already told me about the war games. I agree to serve as an external aid to your clan."

Liu stated his decision directly, his expression remaining calm.

"Thank you very much for your help."

Ye Shanming stretched out his right hand. Liu hesitated for a moment and then shook his hand. The agreement between the two was thus reached.

Chapter 10: The Killing Order of the Ishtar Familia.

At night, on the central tower of the Happy Street District, Ishtar was wearing a purple veil, exposing her graceful figure to the air, giving Orario a full view.

The bone-eating groans were carried to the top of the tower by the night wind, but Istar didn't care. For her, who had experienced hundreds of battles in the heavens, these were just small scenes.

"Now that Chanis is dead, what about the Killing Stone I want?"

Beside her, a mysterious figure, shrouded in darkness, stood quietly, looking down at Orario with her, his voice hoarse:

"We will pass it on to you through formal channels and entrust Hermes to do so."

"Is it clean enough? I don't want anyone to find out about my relationship with you, Thanatos."

"Don't worry, if it wasn't clean enough, I wouldn't be staying in Orario right now."

The only existing god of the dark faction, the god of death Thanatos, replied lightly, took a step back, and his entire figure blended into the night and disappeared.

"By the way, I have a piece of information for you for free. Freya arranged for Gale Leon to be the foreign aid for the Ye Shanming clan."
