The Greece Antagonist-Chapter 894 - 49 Heluo: Slurp, the Taste of a Lie!
Chapter 894 -49 Heluo: Slurp, the Taste of a Lie!
Two days later, a towering undulating city stood on the horizon.
This was a Dwarven city. The architectural style was bold and spectacular, backed by a solitary peak and facing the plains. The whole city was built according to the terrain, with houses of varying heights almost hollowing out the entire mountain.
Finally, we’ve arrived at Turin City!
As the destination was now in sight, the merchants in the caravan sighed in relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted, and a hanging heart finally settled down.
Among them, Celebrian, Rose, and Belldandy, the three Goddesses, were especially noticeable in their behavior, even coincidentally shifting outward a bit more, increasing the distance between them and Luo En from the group.
No choice, they had inadvertently racked up seven requests to the man.
Naturally, they would want to avoid their creditor as much as possible.
Luo En chuckled at their subtle movements, not taking it to heart.
He had given these three women a bit of a lesson, just to keep them quiet on the way so he wouldn’t have to deal with their schemes every other day.
As for the seven requests from each, they were an unexpected gain.
Concerning this, Luo En was in no hurry to make his demands, as nuclear weapons only have the most deterrent effect when not used.
With the “Guild” as a golden signboard, the caravan went through inspections, paying taxes, and entering the city all very smoothly.
Under the lead of Old Gandalf and Belldandy, everyone quickly arrived at the Guild’s station.
Even in the Dwarf Capital, where every inch of land was as precious as gold, the Guild’s presence remained strong.
Here, not only did they have nearly a thousand square meters of space, but the architectural style was also majestic. There were also two giant wolf statues made of wrought iron at the entrance, obviously the work of Dwarf artisans, with the signatures of the Seven Dwarf Clans on them.
Every detail showcased the good relationship between Dwarfs and Humans as well as the potential influence of the Guild.
And just as everyone walked through the gate, a swift figure like the wind pounced into Belldandy’s arms, and a cheerful and melodious voice followed:
“Belle, I could smell you from miles away, come on, let me see if you’ve developed recently~!”
Belldandy couldn’t help but blush, pushing down the head that was rubbing and sniffing around in her embrace, reminding with a stern face:
“President, there are people here!”
Hearing the displeasure in that voice, Heluo finally ended her habitual tease and looked up at the people, a smile that felt like a breath of spring blooming on her face:
“With the messages sent by raven, I’ve already received word, and you folks did well on the road. For this escort task, compensation for the families of any casualties will be tenfold, and specialists will deliver it to their homes; for the survivors, the bonus is tripled, along with a paid leave of twenty days. Since you’ve come all the way to Turin City, enjoy yourselves and relax a bit.”
“Thank you, President!”
Voices rang out in unison, exceptionally loud and clear—it was a display of genuine excitement and support, almost every person wearing an expression as if they would eagerly sacrifice their lives for the President.
Heluo took in the sight, feeling secretly smug.
Indeed, as her old man said, money makes the mare go, and with enough money at stake, useless people become useful, and even the cowardly turn into brave warriors.
Unfortunately…
She shook her head, dispelling a certain figure from her mind. Just as Heluo was about to sigh with a sense of dismay, she sharply inhaled, casting a puzzled look towards a figure behind Belldandy.
It was a male, with silver long hair, handsome features.
And then…
There was no and then.
Yes, other than these two characteristics, she seemed unable to capture any other features of this person.

Upon slight recollection, she also could not piece together the man’s facial features in her mind, as if this person was like an undefined mist.
Something wasn’t right!
Heluo frowned, stepping briskly forward, and her delicate nose sniffed around the man.
Such an odd behavior instantly drew the strange gazes of the onlookers.
Heluo, unconcerned, narrowed her amber eyes, which suddenly became sharp: “What’s your name?”
“Luo En.” Luo En reported his name with confidence.
Hearing that certain tone, doubts rose in Heluo’s mind.
Could she have guessed wrongly?
“Cough~~”
At this moment, Belldandy softly coughed and gently tugged at Heluo’s sleeve.
Coming back to her senses, Heluo saw that her companions Xili, Celebrian, and Rose, who were with her, showed a wary expression and had their hands on their weapons; she immediately realized and her face regained its formal smile:
“Are you the brave souls who lent a hand during the crisis? On behalf of the Guild, I thank you for your deeds. We’ve prepared a banquet in the great hall; let’s share a meal together.”
As the atmosphere relaxed, Xili and the others also lowered their guards and all directed their gazes towards Luo En, ready to follow this group leader’s decision.
Luo En then smiled as he accepted the invitation: “We appreciate the hospitality, President. We’ve been traveling for several days, and we’re quite hungry.”
His purpose in coming to Dwarf Country was to check on his foster daughter, Heluo, so naturally, there was no reason to run away at first sight.
However, considering his subtle relationship with the Nordic God Era and Hela’s precedents, he was not planning to reveal his identity directly or play any father-daughter reunion drama with Heluo, so as not to get too emotionally involved.
The four followed Heluo and Belldandy’s lead to the resplendent great hall.
The aromatic wines and a wide array of dishes covered the tables, stirring appetite at first glance.
In addition to that, an old friend was already waiting in the hall.
—It was none other than the old Wizard, Gandalf, who had accompanied them along the way.
“Let me formally introduce you to one of the Wizard Council’s Circle of Five, ‘Grey Robe’ Gandalf. I specially invited him from the Northern Realm to aid us with the Dragon Disaster, and surely you must have made his acquaintance on the road, right?”
