You call this magic?

"Well, Soma's skills remain as good as ever...still within the realm of mortals," he commented with a chuckle.

"And yours, Dionysus?" another voice said. "When will your divine wine be served so we can taste it?"

"Oh my, isn't this Loki?" Dionysus didn't answer the question. Instead, he turned around, raised his glass and greeted him, "Good evening, I wish you a pleasant day."

He turned and left, seemingly having no intention of talking to her.

Loki narrowed his eyes slightly... and then closed them completely. Then, Loki took a deep breath.

"Little dwarf, let's fight one-on-one!!!"

Volume 2 Dungeon Encounter (I): Chapter 38: My Divine Wine…Want to Try It?

"Wow, Hestia and Loki are fighting again!"

"Where are you? Get out of my way! I want to watch the show in the front row!"

"Don't worry, I want to watch it from the front!"

I don't know which god who loves to watch the fun howled, but what was originally a small-scale fight between goddesses immediately turned into a large-scale unlimited goddess fighting competition.

In the heavens, the "duel" between these two is a rare pleasure in the boring lives of gods.

Therefore, even though there is more fun in the human world, the quarrel between the Kitchen Goddess and the troublemakers can still attract the attention of most gods.

Hermes even quietly opened a betting site not far away, attracting the gods who were eager to see the world in chaos to place their bets, and the scene suddenly became more lively.

As for why these two goddesses are fighting...it doesn't matter.

But even though the fight was so intense, no one ever thought that they had a bad relationship.

Basically, few gods care what happened in the first place, because Loki is always the provocative one.

After the gods' attention was drawn away, no one noticed that Ethan had quickly disappeared among the group of gods and ran to the balcony with his agile body.

The goddesses are very beautiful, and Ethan has seen it all. Various attributes, various personalities, and most of the XP that can be talked about in the contemporary Internet can be found in these goddesses.

He also truly realized that there were so many gods in Orario...

If Ethan hadn't known that most of them had zero sense of chastity, he would have been immersed in the land of tenderness long ago.

Speaking of which, where is that kid Bell?

Ethan looked back at the crowd, but didn't see Bell or Su Mo.

Forget it, as long as no one dies, it’s fine.

At this time, a waiter from the Ganesha clan happened to walk towards him. Ethan picked up a glass of divine wine, leaned on the balcony, removed the alcohol in the glass, and slowly took a sip.

This has long become his habitual action.

As long as the taste is similar, it’s fine. It’s better to drink less of the magic wine.

While he was tasting the wine, someone suddenly approached. Ethan looked up and saw a man he had never seen before.

He has blonde hair, green eyes, and a gentle smile on his face. His overall temperament is sunny and warm.

The male god comes to find him?

Ethan didn't understand what was happening. What if the person was just passing by?

No, there is only one balcony here. Who the hell would deliberately run into this dead end when passing by?

"Hello, Su Mo's child... I remember your name is Ethan, right?" The male god smiled.

"I'm sorry, Lord God, I haven't been in Orario for long. May I ask who you are?" Ethan's words were a bit polite, but his tone emphasized neither servility nor arrogance.

"Please don't be nervous. Let me introduce myself. I'm Dionysus. Like Soma, I can be considered a god of wine."

The god of wine in Greek mythology...

"Soma's divine wine is still a bit too stimulating for human children. I didn't expect that you would not be greatly affected. No wonder you can stand out under Soma." There was a hint of surprise in Dionysus' tone.

"I'm just lucky. In order to overcome the influence of the God's wine, I went through a 'painful period'... However, this also made me interested in the 'God's wine' itself, so..." Ethan looked at Dionysus meaningfully.

"Haha, I'm only the god of wine in name only. Let Soma take care of brewing wine. I just want to leisurely wander around on earth." Dionysus laughed.

Oh, it turns out he is a bad player.

No wonder Soma’s magical wine became popular throughout Orario as soon as it was launched, and competitors were too lazy to compete, right?

Next, the two chatted casually.

Dionysus was more talkative than Soma, so Ethan didn't think too much of it and just thought of it as these idle guys bragging to him.

"Haha, you're really interesting, Ethan-kun. If you weren't Soma's child, I really want to take you under my wing."

“…” There was no way to respond to this, Ethan could only give an awkward yet polite smile.

Now he really began to suspect that this guy was gay. After all, the main gods of the Greek system really didn't care about gender.

"Speaking of which, since you can overcome Soma's divine wine, then my divine wine...would you like to try it?"

Dionysus suddenly said, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

"You're still brewing wine." Ethan put on a surprised business expression.

"Not really. I only brew it for my own drinking and never sell it to anyone else. If there is a one in ten thousand chance that it affects Su Mo's business, I won't be able to face Su Mo again."

Pretty confident, this guy.

But gods are all proud, so Ethan didn't say much.

"If I have the chance, I would really like to taste your magic wine." Ethan smiled and said politely.

"Haha, in that case, I'll start brewing it tomorrow. I haven't done it for a long time, and I don't know if my skills are still there. When the wine is finished, I will hold a private banquet to entertain Su Mo and you."

There's no need to be so enthusiastic.

However, since Somo was also invited to the banquet, it would be difficult for Ethan to refuse on behalf of his own Lord God.

"You are very polite. If Master Su Mo has no objection, I will certainly attend your appointment."

Alas, I just wanted to take a breath, but I accepted an event for the Lord God. Forget it, it’s just a private banquet, and Su Mo will make the decision anyway.

After chatting for a while, Dionysus made an excuse to leave. Looking at his back, Ethan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Thinking back, this god gave him a very bad feeling, which reminded Ethan of someone.

Levi.

It was similar to the feeling Levi gave him when they first met. It wasn't a personality issue, but it seemed like he had some hidden purpose.

However, unlike Levi who made his purpose clear from the beginning, this guy was just chatting from beginning to end, that is, he wanted to treat him to a meal, which was not a big problem.

Even if he said that he was jealous of Su Mo's wine selling so well, he just acted like a pioneer in giving up.

At this moment, Ethan suddenly recalled what Mary said in the dungeon.

She seemed to say that she smelled a different kind of wine than Soma.

Thinking of this, Ethan suddenly laughed. He thought he had gone too far. Today was just a banquet, but he was suspecting others for no reason. He didn't even know what he was suspecting. It was really too much.

Come to think of it, it seems that the goddess of agriculture is also here.

Ethan has always wanted to inspect the farmland. If he could get the help of the goddess of agriculture, his magic should be able to be completed.

Demeter, the goddess of agriculture and one of the twelve main gods in Greek mythology, was a goddess he had heard of before. Now that he was already here, it wouldn't be a problem to pay her a visit.

Volume 2 Dungeon Encounter (I): Chapter 39: Are you being targeted by him?

Demeter, as a member of the production family, has businesses throughout Orario. It is no exaggeration to say that if this goddess is gone, the entire Orario will starve, so she is a very respected goddess.

She herself is full of maternal love. Her gentleness is written all over her face in every gesture, and her plump figure reminds people of a great mother. If her family members call her mother, she will probably respond with a kind smile.

When Ethan found her, the goddess was on the second floor. She did not join the group of gods below who were joining in the fun. She was holding a glass of wine and sipping it slowly.

She actually didn't try Soma's divine wine. Ethan didn't think much about it. Although divine wine was very popular, it was not the only choice. It was just the first time Ethan saw a god choose other categories.

"Greetings, Goddess Demeter."

!!!

It was visibly seen that Demeter trembled unnaturally as if she was frightened.

Uh, am I that scary?

The Goddess of Agriculture's reaction was a bit exaggerated, which made Ethan feel a little embarrassed.

"Ah, ah, it's you." Demeter gently stroked her chest of astonishing size... Even taking into account the height ratio, it was much more turbulent than Hestia's.

"Yes, I didn't expect to be recognized by you. It's such an honor. I'm Ethan." Ethan bowed slightly.

In any case, the existence of large-scale food production is respectable.

"Soma's child, what do you want from me?"

For some reason, although this goddess looked impeccable in every aspect, from her demeanor to her expression, Ethan always felt that something was wrong with her.

Intentionally or unintentionally, her eyes seemed to be searching for something.

Huh? What's going on today? The first god he spoke to was hiding something, and the first god he tried to speak to was also hiding something. This is so weird.

"Please forgive my intrusion, I would like to visit your family's farmland. I wonder..."

"I'm sorry, but my family has been busy lately and may not be able to spare the time." Demeter smiled. "As for the brewing materials, our agreement with Soma should still be going smoothly. Please rest assured, we will still deliver on time."

"..."

What's going on with one or two people?

"Well, I'm very sorry to disturb your pleasure."

Demeter's rejection was obvious, but Ethan was too lazy to try to please her. If she didn't allow him to see it, then he wouldn't. He would just go there secretly one day.

But is it a presumptuous request to visit the farmland?

As the leader of a wine-making clan that has an agreement with you, should I go and see if there is a problem with the quality of the raw materials?

Something is wrong, nine out of ten things are wrong.

It seems that today is not a good day to discuss business with God.

After Ethan left, Demeter bit her lower lip lightly, clenched and unclenched her fists where no one could see, and finally, looked behind her.

There, the blond male god stood smiling among several chatting gods, seemingly listening to what the other gods were saying.

Not once did he glance in Demeter's direction.

……

The gods' banquet ended quickly. After all, it was nominally to discuss the holding of the Monster Festival, but in reality it was just for fun. Ethan thought that as gods they must have some profound ideas, but he was disappointed.

After the disbandment, Ethan hired a carriage to send Hestia and Soma back to the clan. However, Bell looked unhappy for some reason.

"Um, Captain, do you know the god Hermes?" After returning to the clan, Bell ran to Ethan's office and asked.

"...He has his eyes on you?" Ethan looked at him strangely. Could it be that Bell's romantic luck was beginning to develop towards Nan Tong?

From the beginning when Esgabert was attacked to now when Hero Hermes targeted him, Ethan felt a little guilty.

I just don't want you to fall in love now, not to be gay!

Just as Ethan was feeling grief-stricken, Bell said, "No, no, Lord Hermes said that Apollo seems to want me to convert. What should I do?"

The fear on Bell's face was beyond words. If he hadn't had to run to Ethan to discuss it, he would have probably found a blanket to hide under.

Even subconsciously trying to block the back of himself.

Obviously, Bell also knew what kind of person Apollo was.

"..."

No, man.

"Wait, calm down first, don't panic, take a deep breath." Ethan saw Bell's face gradually pale, and hurriedly said, "It's okay, he's just a member of Apollo's family, the god Soma won't pay any attention to him, don't worry, I still have face in this regard."

The Soma clan is now a popular clan in Orario, and notorious clans like Apollo dare not provoke them rashly.

This is much better than the Hestia family in the original work, which has no foundation at all.

After comforting Bell, Ethan let him go back to sleep. This kid is also miserable...

But since he is the one I recruited, I can't let this guy suffer any loss. With his current strength, he might be a bit troublesome.
