Chapter 62 Tian Ji's Horse Racing
The assembly of the gods has ended, and the gods have returned to their respective homes. Some are in tears, some are joyful, and their emotions vary, but this is the kind of life they wanted to experience in the mortal realm.
When Daphne returned to the luxurious mansion of the Apollo clan, she witnessed the scene she had expected.
His own god was furious in the hall, spewing profanities and hurling all sorts of vulgarities at the other gods.
It was an orange-haired man, half-cloaked in a red cape, with a wreath of green leaves on his head.
"Damn those bastards!"
"They actually mocked the title I chose, 'The Sun's Beloved.' What's so strange about it? It's the most suitable title for that child."
That child needs to be bathed in the sun's rays to grow up properly!
Apollo's face was flushed, like a young girl in love, completely immersed in his own world.
Daphne lowered her head. Apollo was not only interested in Roy, but to the point of obsession.
The Apollo Familia is predominantly male, which is also related to the sexual orientation of the god Apollo. That young man was full of wisdom and courage and set an unprecedented level-up record. It is impossible to say that there will be no one like him in the future, but he is definitely unprecedented!
The gods were eyeing the boy with predatory intent.
If the goddess Astrea were to kick Roy out of her home, all the gods of Orario would immediately extend olive branches to Roy.
"Take that child away immediately, at all costs, I must have him!" Apollo's eyes were bloodshot, revealing an intense desire.
Faced with the capricious god, the Apollo Familia members around him stiffened. It wasn't that they didn't want to carry out the order, but that they didn't have the ability!
Even Hyacinthus, the captain who respected Apollo the most, remained silent.
"What are you doing? Hurry up and go!" Apollo scolded. He always longed for what he couldn't have, and he couldn't live a single day without Roy.
The Apollo Clan members were pale.
Within any clan, the chief deity possesses supreme authority and can decide matters large and small.
The reason is that God can freely strip his subjects of their blessings, and once he does so, the person will immediately become a Muggle and fall from the heights of power to the depths of despair.
The only exception was Roy.
At this moment, Daphne stepped forward and attracted everyone's attention. "Lord Apollo, please hear me out."
"Daphne—"
The Apollo Familia member turned out to be Daphne, a newcomer. Could it be that she was trying to stop this?
Daphne said, "Hayate has the strength of LV.4, and Roy is LV.2. Even if everyone attacks together, it won't be easy to defeat them. Moreover, the Astrea Familia has connections with many other Familias. If we attack them, the other Familias won't stand idly by."
These words expressed everyone's concerns.
The people in the hall nodded secretly.
In particular, the Ganesha Familia usually maintains order and seems to be just a background character, but if you really anger them, they can send out a small team to wipe out the Apollo Familia. The old method of forcibly abducting people will not work.
"I don't care, I must have that child!" Apollo, like a giant baby who never grew up, demanded toys from his parents.
A cold glint flashed deep in Daphne's eyes. "Lord Apollo, I have an idea."
"Say it!"
Apollo's eyes lit up; he had clearly already regarded Daphne as his external brain.
Daphne's clear voice rang out, "Initiate a war game, limited to a battle between us and the Astrea Familia under specific rules!"
The entire hall fell into a deathly silence as everyone stared at Daphne in disbelief.
Only Apollo looked overjoyed; in a war game, there was no need to worry about other clans getting involved.
"etc!"
Hyacinthus finally couldn't stand it any longer and said in a deep voice, "The Astrea Familia won't agree easily; there are only two of them."
That's right, the Astrea Familia would never agree to such a war game with such a large disparity in numbers.
There's definitely something fishy going on in the battle with the Rudra Familia. Everyone knows that Roy and Ryu alone couldn't possibly defeat hundreds of adventurers head-on.
The Apollo clan is no weaker than the Rudra clan because they know how to cooperate!
Upon hearing this, Apollo ignored Hyacinthus and looked at Daphne with expectant eyes.
Daphne did not disappoint Apollo. "I heard that the Astrea Familia owes the guild 60 million Fali. Lord Apollo, perhaps you can approach it from this angle and persuade them to agree to the War Game."
The Astrea Familia had just lost a large number of people and was burdened with huge debts. Apollo could tempt them with enormous profits! The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
"So how do we win?"
A blond-haired elf youth asked, "Since the Astrea Familia is to participate voluntarily, the rules of the war game must make the other side feel that they have a chance of winning."
It's impossible for more than a hundred people to gang up on two people.
Daphne replied, "We can use a three-on-three arena battle, with each side sending out three adventurers!"
"Isn't that just giving it away for free?"
The group looked displeased. There was a Level 4 Gale on the other side; how could they possibly defeat him?
"Lord Apollo, I have heard a story about a horse race. Two merchants were going to race three horses, one of superior quality, one of medium quality, and one of inferior quality."
Through Daphne's narration, everyone gradually understood that each person could only appear once, replacing the superior horse Gale with a inferior one, and defeating Roy, a medium-sized horse, with the superior horse Hyacinthus.
Since Astrea's Familia doesn't have enough members, they can ask the other side to find reinforcements, but the level of the reinforcements must be the same as the people they send. They send a senior LV.2 adventurer, and a mid-level horse defeats a low-level horse!
Ultimately, a perfect victory was achieved!
After he finished speaking, the hall fell silent.
The Apollo Familia members looked at Daphne with astonishment. This girl was so intelligent and far-sighted. Her plan was intricately linked, gradually drawing the Astrea Familia into their trap.
"Daphne, you are simply my lucky star!" Apollo did not hold back his praise.
Standing in the corner, Cassandra watched Daphne being fawned over, a hint of sorrow in her eyes. "It's too late to stop it."
The thunder of justice is about to strike, and the sun's light is dimming—.
Apollo decides to launch a war game, and the entire clan becomes busy.
"What are you planning?"
Hyacinthus approached Daphne with a cold gaze. Every word Daphne spoke seemed to be for Lord Apollo's sake, but he still sensed something was amiss.
Daphne said innocently, "Lord Apollo wants that boy, I'm just trying to help him find a way."
Hyacinthus coldly replied, "Do you dare prove your loyalty before Lord Apollo?"
"What loyalty can someone who was forced to join and has only been here for a week have?" Daphne scoffed, still remembering the scene of being hunted down.
Hyacinthus's face darkened.
