Chapter 74: Ethan's Objective, Planning Against the Renard!
Watching Ethan, followed by four amazonesses, Ottar unconsciously furrowed his brow.
This was the place where Goddess Freya resided, and Ethan had casually brought four unknown women here, which, in Ottar's view, was simply disrespectful.
"The goddess has already rested~"
He said this lightly, his gaze fixed on Ethan.
The attitude was clear: if you plan to disturb their goddess's rest, Ottar will definitely make him understand what the rules are.
"She's asleep, huh~"
Ethan didn't think much of it; it was normal for her to be asleep at this time.
Then, Ethan's gaze fell on Ottar.
"Ottar, can you find a place to lock these four up?"
"Where did you find these amazonesses?"
Speaking of these four women, Ottar showed a hint of dissatisfaction.
"These four are from Ishtar Familia. They just 'Pass Parade' me in the dungeon, and I captured them alive."
"Pass Parade?"
Hearing Ethan's explanation, Ottar also gave a sideways glance.
Ethan has been in Orario for just a few days, yet he's experienced everything unfortunate that one can encounter in the dungeon.
Monster Party! Monster Riot! Pass Parade!
Now he's just missing an encounter with a strengthened species, Ottar didn't know what to say for a moment.
"In the dungeon, there are no 'rules'; since they wanted to plot against you, then killing them would have been fine. Why bring these amazonesses back?"
"Of course, to make good use of them. They are from Ishtar Familia, after all."
"?"
Ottar is a pure warrior, although he has been with Freya for many years, his mind isn't filled with twists and turns.
Ethan felt somewhat helpless, this is just a straightforward fool.
"Goddess Ishtar has always been at odds with our goddess, often causing trouble for her. We can take this opportunity to reasonably act against them. Since the people from Ishtar Familia framed me, trying to 'Pass Parade' to kill me, don't you think this is a good reason for revenge?"
"You mean..."
Ottar suddenly understood, this was to take advantage of the situation.
Looking at the four unconscious amazonesses, indeed, this was a very good excuse for revenge.
After all, the Entertainment District is Orario's largest gold pit.
Although Freya Familia isn't lacking in money, earning more money is always good.
"What do you want to do?"
After understanding, Ottar looked at Ethan, wanting to hear his ideas.
"Let our goddess confront Goddess Ishtar, they better spit out some wealth to avoid disaster, otherwise, we can reasonably start a 'war game'. With the strength of Ishtar Familia, we should be able to crush them easily."
"A weak familia like Ishtar Familia, destroying them is not difficult at all."
Ottar had the authority to say this, his strength, and that of Freya Familia, supported him in this claim.
In the original story, because Ishtar wanted to lay hands on Bell, Freya became truly angry.
Then Freya Familia dispatched several executives, who effortlessly crushed Ishtar Familia, completely annihilating them.
Even their goddess Ishtar was sent back to heaven by Freya directly.
"So, why not take advantage of this opportunity to get free money?"
"I will talk to Freya-sama about this tomorrow, you can leave these four to me."
Since it was possible to benefit their Familia and suppress an annoying Familia that often troubled their goddess, Ottar was naturally willing to relieve Freya of her worries.
This is one of the benefits of being part of Freya Familia; as long as it benefits their goddess, everyone will basically agree.
"That's settled then, I'll be going back first."
"Mm~"
After explaining everything, Ethan turned and left.
Dragging these four women from the dungeon was exhausting enough, even the excitement of acquiring a 'lightsaber' was diluted considerably; now he started to feel sleepy.
The night passed without words.
...
The next morning, a knock on the door woke Ethan from his sleep.
'Creak~'
Ethan initially thought it was Ottar, as he was usually the only one who would knock on his door.
However, upon opening the door, Ethan was stunned to see Freya standing there, wearing an exquisite rose-colored dress, looking as captivating as a blooming rose.
"Freya-sama?"
"Ottar has already told me what happened last night."
"Well, what do you think then?"
Hearing Freya say this, Ethan smiled.
For her to visit him early in the morning, there must be a reason.
"State your real purpose."
"What do you mean?"
"It's not your style to seek benefits for your Familia, don't forget, you still owe me 20 million~"
Hearing Freya's words left Ethan speechless. My goddess, must you bring up every uncomfortable topic?
"I accidentally received some information a while ago that piqued my interest."
Ethan knew that outright lying was not possible, so he just told some half-truth.
"Information?"
Freya tilted her head towards Ethan.
Considering the people Ethan knows in Orario, he couldn't possibly have access to much useful information.
"Ishtar Familia recently acquired a 'secret weapon' intended to destroy our Familia."
"Heh... Destroy my Familia? Just Ishtar?"
At this, Freya was amused and her face filled with scorn.
Climbing to the top of Orario was based on strength, and over the years, the growth of her Familia had been amazing.
With just Ishtar, who does flesh-slapping business every day, capable of defeating her Familia?
Whether it was in heaven or after descending to the lower world, Freya had never taken her seriously.
"Go on, let me hear how she intends to destroy my Familia?"
"In Ishtar Familia, there is a Renard who possesses a special magic or skill that can temporarily raise an adventurer's level by one."
"Hm? Temporarily raise a level? Special skill or magic?"
"Who knows, I only heard about it by chance. It was during a time I was in the dungeon when I happened to encounter a team from the Ishtar Familia discussing it. I don't know the details."
"Even so, that's no big deal. The strongest adventurer in Ishtar Familia is only level 5."
"It's not just that. They also mentioned a 'ritual' and a 'Killing Stone'."
With that, Ethan fell silent. He had interwoven truth with lies, hinting at something to her.
As a goddess who has lived for millions of years, one should never doubt the wisdom of a goddess.
