Loki raised his head, opened his eyes, and flashed a cold light.
"We don't want anyone to trouble him because of these problems. I swear in the name of Loki, if someone does so..."
Loki didn't finish his words, but everyone was silent, not daring to breathe.
When a god who used to do whatever he wanted and had no airs suddenly showed unprecedented toughness, this contrast was enough to shock everyone.
Fortunately, this pressure only lasted for a few seconds. The next moment, Loki returned to his original nonchalant state.
"Well, we've been together for so many years, and we know each other well. We believe that you won't do anything like that."
Finn looked up at Livilia beside him thoughtfully, only to find that she was also looking at him with the same thoughtful look in her eyes.
To be honest, Loki's behavior was a little too exaggerated.
He almost openly stated that he stood behind that person, with a clear and unconditional preference for him, and he did so among his own family.
Even Aisi had never enjoyed this kind of treatment.
After all, although Loki is an LSP, her love for girls is not limited to one person. Instead, she loves them all because they are her wings. Naturally, she will not favor a certain child too much. She may even stand behind them without distinguishing between right and wrong and support them in her own name.
Who exactly is this newcomer?
Chapter 5: Welcome Party!
"Okay, I guess everyone is eager to know who he is, so I won't keep you in suspense."
At this point, Loki clapped his hands lightly and said,
"You can come in."
Then, the door that Loki came in through slowly opened, and a figure appeared in front of everyone. Everyone, including Finn and Livilia, held their breath and concentrated their attention.
Then they saw the target clearly.
But the moment they saw it clearly, everyone fell silent. Unbelievable astonishment spread in everyone's hearts, even Finn and Riveria were no exception.
A shocking piece of news was presented to everyone.
As if time had stopped, the conference room entered an extremely quiet state, where one could hear a pin drop.
Surrounded by such silence, Lieyan was a little frightened.
What the hell? Is this a show of force? But I didn't do anything.
Frowning, Lieyan greeted cautiously.
"Hello everyone?"
This voice, this body shape, and this Adam's apple, this... is a man?
In an instant, the discussion became very lively.
"man!"
"A man! It's actually a man!"
"My goodness, the newcomer is actually a man and not a beauty... there's a big problem!"
"It's been so long, and there's finally a new male member in the clan!"
The moment Lieyan's face was seen clearly, the atmosphere in the originally quiet conference room suddenly exploded. Some were amazed, some were moved, and some even cried with tears in their eyes.
No wonder everyone’s emotions exploded.
After all, everyone in Orario knows that although Loki is a goddess, she is a senior LSP. This can be seen from the fact that the number of young and beautiful female members in Loki's family is far greater than that of male members.
By the way, the Loki clan does not restrict the ratio of male and female recruits. This situation occurs purely because of the "interest of the Lord God."
Even after her family became stronger, Loki became even more extreme in this regard. If she had recruited some male members as appropriate in the past for the sake of the expansion of her family, now that Loki's family has become one of the few powerful families in Orario, there is almost no trace of male members among the members she recruited.
The vast majority of the men in the Loki Familia are old men who joined the clan in the early days of its establishment and the middle period of its rapid development. There are only a handful of rising stars who joined in the later period...
It can even be said that in the past two years, there are only a handful of them, because Loki has not recruited any men at all in these two years!
Lieyan, who now appeared in front of everyone, was the only new male member who joined Loki's family in the past two years.
Only one!
Touched! So touched!
The male members were so over the top, they were so self-absorbed that they didn't even care when the women next to them showed disgust and walked away. They just indulged themselves in their own emotions.
Even the three pillars at the top of the clan were dumbfounded. Grace rubbed his eyes and muttered in disbelief: "Damn it, man, I must be right, Loki has changed his nature?"
"Maybe it's simply because that child attracted Loki in some way, Finn, what do you think?" Livilia smiled, but the smile on her face was a little forced.
Although she said this, to be honest, Livilia had no idea what attracted Loki to this man. According to her standards, this human male who appeared in front of her was not excellent in terms of age, appearance or strength. If she had to say it, he was just so-so.
It's not that she has any prejudice against her own god, but based on her experience, an existence like this should not be enough to attract Loki... What is going on?
"I feel like this isn't that simple. My thumb is reminding me with its tingling pain."
Finn licked the thumb of his right hand, a solemn look on his face.
The moment he saw the flames, the premonition and intuition that had saved him from danger countless times started to work at full speed. The constant tingling in his thumb reminded him that something completely beyond his expectations was about to happen to him.
And this incident will bring about earth-shaking changes in what he sees in the future.
"What? In your eyes, am I just a pervert who only knows how to recruit young girls?"
"Isn't it?"
"That's right, Lord God, we have already seen clearly what kind of God you are."
Listening to the exclamations of the family members below, Loki wrinkled his nose in dissatisfaction, and then the subsequent complaints choked back all her words.
"Don't talk nonsense, I do get things done sometimes, Raul, you better be careful next time."
Loki, feeling choked, rolled his eyes amid the boos from the crowd, and at the same time, he was very petty and blamed the hatred on another person who stood out. There was no other way, his tone and mannerisms were too distinct, and they immediately exposed the person he was suspected of. It would be unjust not to deal with him.
Raoul, who was threatened by the Lord God, immediately had a sad face, and the people around him moved further away from him. I'm sorry, Raoul, I would rather die than let my friend die. You just have to bear Loki's wrath. We will pray for you, Amen.
Feeling the alienation of his companions, the sacrificed Raul's face became more and more bitter. He was obviously a LV. 4 core adventurer and also a very experienced member of the clan, but he was aggrieved like a newcomer in the workplace.
"Okay, Loki, stop bullying Raul," Finn stepped forward and smoothed things over, saving Raul from the Lord God's wrath. He instantly gained the attention of a fanboy. Finn smiled and looked at Lieyan, "The new guy hasn't finished his self-introduction yet, so you should let him say a few words."
"Well, that's right, Lieyan, you should get to know everyone first.
Then there are Finn, Grace, Riveria, Tione, Tiona, Bert, Lefiya, Aistan... Aistan is not here, let's talk about it later, you guys come with me first, I have something to tell you.
You don't have to come with me, Lieyan. Just follow Raul and Anqi to chat with everyone and get familiar with them. You will need them to take you to get familiar with the dungeon later. Make sure you get along well with everyone."
"Then comes the last and most important thing—"
After quickly explaining what to do next, Loki slowly stood up with a serious look on his face.
Everyone sat upright, concentrating and listening to the oracle.
Then, champagne spurted out from nowhere in Loki's hand. Putting aside his serious expression, Loki put one foot on the table and raised the bottle high. He had no reserve of a god at all, and heated up the atmosphere with his passionate enthusiasm.
"Let's start the party to welcome the newlyweds!!"
“Ooooh!!!!”
Chapter 6: A whole new world!
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became heated, and cheers flowed freely in the spacious restaurant.
Long tables were put together to form a huge dining table. The delicacies that had been prepared long ago were presented in a continuous stream. The wine glasses were clinking, and the atmosphere was as lively as a celebration. The flames themselves were also overwhelmed by the enthusiasm.
Everyone was extremely curious about this only male newcomer who had just joined the clan and was clearly declared to be favored by the gods.
Passionate questions, almost interrogative, hit the flames like a wave.
"How old is Mr. Lieyan this year?" "Twenty-seven years old."
"Is this your first time in Orario, Mr. Lieyan?" "Yes."
"What type of girl does Mr. Lieyan like?" "Foam Fox... No, sorry, I don't want to answer this question...!"
Seeing that the topic was becoming more and more off-topic, Lieyan, who was already a little overwhelmed, immediately looked for help from Loki who had not yet left.
Help, Loki!
However, after spending a year and a half in the simple folk world of Monster Hunter, Lieyan, who had also become simple, seemed to have forgotten one thing.
The clan he joined was the Loki clan, and Loki was a well-known villain among a series of gods!
As if to avenge all the surprises he had experienced in the Monster Hunter World, Loki shook his red hair with a wicked smile and mouthed "Enjoy it".
Seeing the culprit who caused this situation ignoring the victim's look for help and swaggering away, Lieyan's eyes filled with blood.
Loki, you plotted against me!
The silent accusation was drowned in the crowd.
Finn, who was following behind Loki, couldn't help but look back at Lieyan, who had to react to the enthusiasm of the crowd. He showed an apologetic expression and sighed.
I really didn't expect that after just joining the clan, this newcomer had already suffered the "clown baptism" and was used as a sacrifice for Loki's entertainment.
It seems that receiving God's grace is not all good things. Ha, what am I talking about? Regarding this, haven't the girls in the family already experienced it deeply?
The Dwarf Warrior curled his lips and shook his head.
Ah, such a scene is rare to see, and it is rare for the members to be so happy. Although doing this may be a bit unfair to the newcomer, let it be. This is the clan's unique way of welcoming and so on. I will explain this to the newcomer with this reason. As for now, let him be the sacrifice and make everyone happy.
Finn, who was behind, had a naughty smile on his face. He suppressed his brave side and showed his little human nature. He put one hand on the door, and then gently pulled it.
The door of the banquet hall slowly closed.
The carnival is gone, and silence is coming.
An unexpectedly solemn atmosphere lingered in the room where only gods and high-ranking officials existed.
Livilia crossed her arms, Grace had a serious look on her face, the werewolf Bert Roca had his hands in his trouser pockets, hunched over, exuding an unhappy aura, but was also extremely quiet, like a lone wolf ready to hunt in the dark night, and the last elf, Lefiya Viridis, squeezed her hands hard, extremely nervous,
Affected by this, the Amazon twins Tione and Tiona also hesitated and dared not speak. They just secretly looked at everyone's expressions, wondering what had happened to make everyone so serious.
...But the gods first became less serious.
"Hey, why are you guys so serious?" The red-haired god raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction, but because of the narrowness of his eyes and his own inappropriate habits, this expression that was clearly meant to vent his dissatisfaction was unexpectedly funny.
The dwarf warrior with a childlike face sighed slightly, then closed one eye as blue as the lake, and spoke to break the deadlock.
