RISE OF EROS-Chapter 656 - 655
The group of demigods led by Zaros soon arrived at the duchy of Cannes. They were all-powerful, so no matter how far away the dragon territory was, it was like taking a walk for them.
Obviously, they did not immediately go to visit Andrew. Doing so would not only be disrespectful to Andrew, but to Zaros and Crhono who were the hosts. They did not know it, but due to Zaros and Elidyr’s words, everyone thought that Andrew was under Crhono’s protection and only stayed in Zaros’ territory as a safety measure.
Many would think that it was much safer to protect Andrew in the dragon territory, but the smart ones knew that it was not the most ideal. Dragons were the first barrier against enemies, so having Andrew with them was in fact more dangerous.
Regardless of these thoughts, this was just a misunderstanding, as Andrew and Crhono did not even know each other. Anyway, the demigods arrived in Cannes, settling into the Pixoy family mansion.
Everyone was surprised to see such powerful eminences coming to visit them. Damon, his wife, and his children were surprised because although they were used to seeing Zaros and Elidyr, they had never been in the presence of such characters.
For his part, Lucian was calmer, at least on the outside. He is a demigod with quite a reputation as well, and although not at the level of those present, it is not his first time in front of a lineup like this.
Zaros treated them as guests of honor. He served them the best wine and food, to entertain them and plan everything they would do now that they were here. Zaros was powerful, but he was not at the same level compared to these characters.
If the legend-level demigods had to be classified into categories, one could say that there were the newest ones who would be similar to the founder of Dunnas.
Then came the intermediate or advanced ones, like Zaros, Elidyr, and Lugia. Then came the higher ones, and there would be these characters except for Samanuel and Crhono who would be one step above.
Well, Crhono was in a league of his own, but only Samanuel and Arion knew that for the moment. Even though Zaros was of a lower level, no one dared to disrespect him or not follow his instructions.

First of all, they were in his territory and they should be courteous just for that fact. Second, while he is weaker than them, the difference is not much. Except for Samanuel and Crhono, none of the others would come out unscathed fighting him in a one-on-one fight.
Lastly, he was Crhono’s protégé at the time. The ancestor of the dragons would not allow Zaros to be humiliated or disrespected. The others don’t know, but he is aware that it was Elidyr and Zaros who found Andrew.
Not only that, but he knows of all the moves they’ve made to protect him and their activities against Purgatory, so Crhono values them highly. To him, there were no better allies, even if they weren’t the most powerful among the demigods.
In war, the most worrying thing is not the enemy’s strength, but your allies stabbing you in the back, and Crhono was clear that Zaros and Elidyr would never do that, so he wouldn’t allow himself to lose these allies.
Furthermore, he knew that they had established a good relationship with Andrew and had even been blessed with divinity by him, so they were irreplaceable at this point.
Despite this, they had to give the impression that the connection with Andrew was on Crhono’s part, as Zaros would have no way to keep them at bay if they decided to play tricks.
Because of this, Zaros went to Cannes Palace without wasting any time, to explain everything to Andrew so that things could be handled according to plan. When Zaros appeared at Cannes Palace, he surprised everyone.
Zaros had never come here on his own, it was always them who visited or Zaros sent Lucian or some other member of his family, so everyone was alarmed to see him.
"Boy, I’m sorry to come this way, but we must discuss something of importance," was what he said when he appeared. Andrew’s and the others’ expressions immediately became serious, and they could see that Zaros was very serious.
At first, Andrew thought it would be about the blessing he received, from the release of the divine seal. Andrew knew perfectly well about all the beneficiaries, so he knew what Zaros and Elidyr had received.
However, seeing him now, he was sure it had nothing to do with that. Without interrupting him, Andrew attended showing that he was listening to what he wanted to say and Zaros did not beat around the bush.
He told them everything that had happened in these days. From the capture of one of the leaders of Purgatory, the appearance of Crhono, the meeting of the demigods, the appearance of the angels, and how they had come to see him.

He also explained about the plans they had to make Crhono the liaison so that none of the others would do anything improper. Everyone was surprised to hear him because the matter was serious.
Andrew also understood the request to make Crhono the one who was closest to him, because being the most powerful, he would be a stronger insurance. Although he did not know this dragon, Andrew had a good impression of him.
Zaros mentioned him a lot and spoke well of him and since he trusted Zaros, he believed that he should not have bad eyesight. In addition, he had met Lugia and Vaelyra, who had helped him, so the ancestors of the dragons enjoyed a good image for him.
Even so, he had to see him in person. For this reason, he explained his request to Zaros and he did not refuse. It wasn’t difficult to arrange a meeting between them, so Zaros left to tell Crhono.
All the demigods had obviously noticed that Zaros had gone to visit Andrew. They all thought that Crhono might have sent him to let them know that they would visit him soon, but to their surprise, after returning, it was Crhono who left.
"What’s going on?" was what all the powerful demigods were wondering when they noticed the departure of the ancestor of the dragons. They wanted to look for Zaros immediately, but they refrained.
Doing so would only show that they were spying on them and although it is obvious to Zaros and the others that they were doing it, one thing is knowing it and another to confirm it, so that is why no one approached Zaros to ask.
Crhono calmly flew towards Cannes Palace. He was not worried that the others would know that he had gone to visit Andrew, in fact, he hoped that they would keep an eye on him, as it gave the impression that they were close.
Just think about it. First, he sent Zaros to warn and then suddenly he came. That showed that Andrew was not just a protégé, but an equal, someone important who made the ancestor of the dragons take him into account.
Even though it was all a smokescreen, it worked and it was the best strategy to keep Andrew protected. Andrew was ignorant of all this, but he was being protected, without knowing.
