Chapter 40 [New World·Modern Brawl]

After the Holy Grail fragments were completely separated from Lovecraft, Qiye ended his short vacation, threw Lovecraft back into the sea, and was thrown into the next world by the system.

As always, Qiye arrived in a new world in a dark corner that was inaccessible and unmonitored.

He recalled the names of several people among the mission targets and the first recovered items, and felt a headache.

It’s hard to find candidates, but the number is too many, right?!

It would take a lot of time for him just to find traces of these heroic spirits. In the last world, he took so long to find Jekyll & Hyde. Will he use Sherlock Holmes to find people again? It's really overkill, even though he was the one who transformed.

Himself, but when he used the Formosa card, he also felt faintly bored!

While thinking about how to find the heroic spirit that came to this world this time, Qiye walked outside.

As we get closer to the main road, the noisy sounds become clearer and clearer.

Qiye walked out of the alley and found a busy commercial street outside. People were coming and going on the ground. The higher areas were full of various signboards, and the higher ones were giant screens, which should be used to display advertisements——

Um?!

Qiye originally just glanced at it casually, but he saw something that shocked him so much that when he turned around, he almost missed his neck.

He was not mistaken. On the big screen that was used to show promotional videos most of the time, what flashed past was indeed one of his targets this time - Ishtar, the goddess of Venus.

The name of the god in the Sumerian period was Inanna, but the Akkadian name of the god was Ishtar, which actually refers to the same thing. She was an arrogant, cruel and money-loving goddess, in charge of harvest, beauty, and

war.

Although she is also the patron saint of Uruk, her so-called protection is thinking, "Should we let mankind continue to survive or let mankind perish?" Then she looked at the struggle of mankind with a playful smile.

Due to her poor character, she had a very tragic image in the minds of King Gilgamesh of Uruk and his best friend Enkidu.

But she is indeed beautiful. Even if she is not using her own divine body at this moment, but is possessing a human girl named Tohsaka Rin, her beautiful godhead still makes her dazzling and directly makes people feel

The concept of "beauty" is not about whether the face is worthy of it.

At this moment, Ishtar appeared on some talk show very inconsistently and was talking on the screen.

"That's right, because we couldn't settle the dispute for a while, we decided to do the same as the Greeks and let someone other than us be the referee." Ishtar flipped her hair charmingly, "Of course the selection cannot be arbitrary, only the real ones

Only heroes are qualified to judge."

The interviewer, with the mentality of wanting to make a big news, asked the following question: "So, if you were the referee, who do you think is more qualified to win the Golden Apple?"

Ishtar raised her chin arrogantly: "There is no doubt that I am the goddess of beauty. Who else is worthy of the description [most beautiful] besides me? Even if there is one more procedure, I think the human being who makes the decision will

Not so blind, right? Who is that person in Greek mythology..."

The host quickly reminded: "Paris."

"Yes, Paris is very sensible. He chose their beauty, which means that my victory is natural. The reason why this competition is held is just because I am too bored."

"What if the winner of the contest picks someone else?"

Ishtar's expression suddenly turned cold: "It shows that he chose blindly! He betrayed our trust! He must die to apologize!"

This program should have been edited. After all, no human being can remain calm in the wrath of the gods, let alone continue the interview. I saw that the program went to the next question without any stumble, but the title and tone were obviously respectful.

grade.

"Dear goddess Ishtar, may I ask, what kind of person do you think is worthy of being the referee of this game?"

"Ordinary people definitely can't do it. We all agree that a real hero will be the referee." Ishtar said.

The host asked: "So, in your opinion, who is the real hero?"

Ishtar touched her face and said in a natural tone: "A real hero needs to be handsome and worthy of my beauty."

"...We are discussing real heroes, not choosing husbands, right?" the host asked hesitantly.

Ishtar looked at him strangely: "What's the problem? No matter whether you are a hero or a handsome man, of course they all belong to me."

Moderator: "...No problem."

Qiye looked up and watched the show: "………………"

He calmly blocked the entire two thousand words of swear words in his mind.

No problem, no problem! It’s a big problem, okay!!!

Ishtar! What are you doing, Ishtar! Why are you on a TV show! Have you forgotten the principle of concealment on the mystical side!? Mystery will decline if you do this! If there is anyone in the Magic Association, they must have been there by now

Crazy!

Oh, I almost forgot that this world is not affected by these things... But the act of going on TV is really weird! Those heroic spirits used to hide!

He was originally prepared for a long-term war of resistance, but the target heroic spirit appeared in front of him so carelessly, and Qiye couldn't accept it for a while.

Qiye's mind was flooded with "What the hell is this", and his brain temporarily stopped and was unable to work normally. It took him a while to come back to his senses.

Forget it...forget it! This is a good thing! It saves you the time of finding someone. In this case...

Qiye's brain, which had barely begun to function, fell into a state of shutdown again when he saw the big screen that suddenly changed to another interviewing person.

"It's an honor to interview you, Queen Maeve."

"Huhuhu, this form is really interesting. Can everyone see me?"

"Of course, we have authorized worldwide distribution!"

The new interviewee who appeared was a woman with long pink hair and a noble and seductive temperament.

She is the Queen of Connacht in Celtic mythology and Ulster legend, Maeve.

In some areas of Ireland, she is also regarded as the "Goddess of War".

Although she is not very popular in Asia, she is actually very popular in Ireland. Until modern times, many people still claim to have witnessed Queen Maeve, and countless people still believe that the eternal noble lady Maeve still exists in the world.

There are even people who dream of being spotted by Maeve and brought back to be their husbands. After all, according to rumors, Queen Maeve is engaged, married, or just maintains some kind of relationship with countless brave men and kings. She is a passionate noble lady.

In their culture, it is an honor to be favored by such a noble lady.

Just like Ishtar just now, the program uses subtitles to euphemistically introduce the legend of Maeve. You can only look up the discordant parts by yourself.

After a few clichés, the host started to get down to business, and very schemingly started to stir up trouble for the ratings: "The goddess Ishtar said that no matter what the process is, she will definitely be the one to win the golden apple."

"Ha! Of course she would say that." Maeve said with a look of disdain, "If she had come in her true form, I might have paid more attention to it, but it's a pity that the shriveled figure she is using now makes me want to cry for her in sympathy.

Now! I am different, my figure and beauty are perfect, and there are countless warriors who fall under my skirt!"

"That……"

Maeve ignored the host and continued: "Many kings, warriors and men, as long as I smile, they will immediately fall in love and beg to marry me. Ishtar took the initiative to marry Gilgamesh

Even my marriage proposal was rejected, which made me laugh to death."

"Um……"

For the sake of gimmicks and ratings, the show was not afraid of death. When Maeve complained about Iltar's rejection, it used subtitles to popularize the rumor that Queen Maeve was rejected by Cu Chulainn, a warrior who also came from Celtic mythology.

Maeve, who had no pressure on herself and subconsciously forgot about her failure experience in order to attack her opponent, finally said enough. The host found the opportunity to continue asking: "The goddess Ishtar said that a real hero must be dignified. What do you think of this?"

What are the requirements?”

"I think it makes sense." Maeve rarely agreed with Ishtar, "But just appearance is certainly not a hero. The strongest person is the real hero! Only the strong are qualified to join me.

It would be great if a man like this pursues me!"

The host was much calmer this time: "Do you also want to date the winner this time?"

"Huh? Dating? What kind of statement is this! Such a good man, of course he must become my private property!"

The subtitles once again boldly typed out special fonts: Although their relationship is not good, the goddesses are really close to each other in some respects.

Seven nights:"………………"

He blocked a thousand words of swear words again, which was half the number last time, which meant that Qiye had calmed down.

Maeve, what on earth are you doing... Forget it, let's leave it like this. If you think about it carefully, with the characters of Maeve and Ishtar, it is completely normal for them to cause big troubles.

In fact, what they did was both good and bad for Qiye.

The good thing is that they made such a high-profile appearance and have somehow made people in this world believe in their identity. Qiye can save the energy of finding people and go directly to the steps of sending them back to the Throne of Heroes. And wait for Qiye to put on the vest again.

With a goddess as a foreshadowing, I think my identity should be more easily accepted by people in this world.

The downside is...

These two heroic spirits are very difficult to deal with individually, but they are gathered together inexplicably. With their self-esteem, until it is clear who the golden apple that represents the "most beautiful goddess" belongs to, no matter how bad the relationship is,

It is estimated that they will first make a concerted effort to kill anyone who dares to interfere with them.

Why not change the importance?

In the past, what he needed to recover were Holy Grail fragments or simply heroic spirits that were summoned to another world. However, this time Qiye received a new type of task, which was to recover golden apples - it is not possible to recover by eating just one in the game.

The golden apple of all strength is the golden apple that in Greek mythology, Eris, the goddess of disputes and discord, used to trigger the fighting spirit of the three goddesses, and eventually even led to the source of all the Trojan War.

This golden apple is one of Paris's Noble Phantasms. Unlike the Holy Grail fragments, the apple itself has no destructive power, but it will cause huge damage regardless of friend or foe. You must be lucky and have high mental endurance to resist the effect of the golden apple.

What he wanted to recycle this time was such a troublesome thing.

Since the goddesses are so difficult to deal with, it's better to let the heroic spirits go first, and he will find a way to steal the golden apple first——

…………

It feels like if he dares to touch this golden apple, the people from the TV station will eat him alive! Ishtar and Maeve will not let him go, and the difference between confronting them directly is not that big.

!

How was he going to get the golden apple safely?!

Wait... Since real heroes have to be selected to be responsible for judging, then according to the TV show, there should be a selection competition, right? Will the winner get the golden apple?

Even if he has to give the golden apple to one of Ishtar or Maeve later, as soon as the golden apple is in his hands, Qiye will be able to exchange the golden apple and let the system get him a golden apple that can be faked.

Apple is out on business.

So, can he choose to become the champion of the competition and get the golden apple peacefully?
