Danmachi: Gacha Draw

Chapter 113: Chapter 112 - Hermes Becomes the Scapegoat



Time passes day by day.

When the news of Link reaching level 5 spread like wildfire, the new book "The Legend of Zelda" was also released.

The name of the protagonist of the book is Link, which made many viewers laugh.

Link himself did not care about this.

As the story of a brave warrior with lofty royal ideals, "The Legend of Zelda" naturally does not have as deep a meaning as the previous two novels.

However, in it, the friendship and bond between the Four Heroes and Princess's love for Link, among other tales, can't help but make people cry.

The level of discussion among readers is not lower than that of the previous two books.

"Damn 'Godslayer'! He's slashing his sword in the book again! Princess is so cute, why...!"

"One hundred years later, the spirit of the Four Heroes has been inherited..."

"I'd like to ask, the protagonist of this book is obviously Link, and it's also about his story of saving Princess Zelda. Why is the book called 'The Legend of Zelda' and not 'The Legend of Link'?"

Right.

After all, most of the content of the book is about the protagonist destroying monsters, solving puzzles, saving the princess, and helping the residents of Hyrule with their problems.

It seems that these adventurers in Orario will have a stronger sense of immersion

After all, they are doing what the protagonists do in the book, such as killing monsters, every day.

While everyone was discussing the story, Link went to see Haruhime again with a finished copy of "The Legend of Zelda."

Seeing that Link had brought the complete "Legend of Zelda," Haruhime was so happy that she teased Link as the author and continued to discuss the contents of the book.

Aisha, who was watching the two from the side, couldn't help but sigh deeply when she saw this scene.

She knew that in a few days, it would be time for the ceremony.

At that time, Ishtar would plan to use the Killing Stone to sacrifice Haruhime and mass-produce her magical Uchide no Kozuchi to destroy the Freya Family.

Link keenly noticed Aisha's expression.

He took advantage of Haruhime's serious reading and took Aisha away.

"What's wrong? Seeing how worried you are, is the ceremony for that Ishtar person to sacrifice Haruhime coming up soon?"

"You... know!?"

"Well, that idiotic goddess told me all of her plans that night, but I didn't expect that I was acting. When is the specific day that the ceremony will begin?" 

Link deliberately blamed Ishtar, so naturally, it was impossible for Aisha to go to her goddess herself to confirm this scandal.

Aisha hesitated for a moment and then said, "It's useless to tell you. By then, the entire family will be under martial law, and Phryne will be there as well. She's LV.5… Even if you can defeat LV.6, you'll definitely face the siege of the family members…" 

"You don't have enough information. I was promoted to LV.5 two days ago. If I use my full strength, I can compete with LV.7. How many LV.7s are there in Orario?" 

"You… have reached level 5?!" 

Link nodded.

Aisha's eyes suddenly widened.

It took less than a month to go from LV.4 to LV.5.

Is there really no obstacle to this guy's advancement? 

"Then what day is the ceremony?" 

"Three days later, the night of the full moon. I will find a reason to go to the dungeon and not appear among the family members. This is all I can do. I hope you can succeed…" 

"Trust me." 

Haruhime, he has it! It's useless for anyone to come! Killing Stone.

This thing is a magic tool made from the remains of a fox child.

When it takes effect, it will rip the fox's soul from its body.

Although the effect can be said to be powerful, generally speaking, the gods are not interested.

They keep a respectful distance. 

First of all, using this will ruin thier reputation.

After all, it is a magic item that requires the user's sacrifice to be effective.

Furthermore, the magic items themselves should be something that brings convenience to the users, rather than endangering their lives.

Therefore, ordinary gods would not bother using this kind of thing. 

The reason Ishtar goes all out is naturally because of her jealousy toward Freya.

As the goddess of beauty, she also has the ability to charm, but Freya sits on the throne of Orario's first family and is in the palms of all the male gods.

So what about her?

'Mistress of Prostitutes' is the most common name given to her.

Goddess's jealousy is chilling, not to mention that this Godd essis essentially a woman.

Ishtar is jealous of everything Freya has.

...

In the past three days, Link had made all the preparations.

If he entered the Ishtar Family alone, it would be easy to go on a killing spree, but this would inevitably result in many casualties.

He didn't want to brutally kill too many Amazonian prostitutes; after all, they were all beautiful girls, and he might still be able to find prostitutes in the future.

There's also Ishtar

As a goddess, she's quite enjoyable to be with and is very good at serving men.

It wouldn't be right to just send her back to heaven.

Killing is easy, but defeating the enemy is difficult.

Therefore, Link plans to seek external aid to help resolve this incident.

The first choice is naturally the Adventurer's Guild.

Link told Eina the entire background of this incident.

After learning that the Ishtar Familia was planning to use the killing stone to sacrifice and launch a war against the Freya Familia, Eina immediately reported it to the guild.

It's beneficial to have acquaintances.

With Eina's special help, the guild quickly contacted the Ganesha Familia and the Loki Familia, as well as the Astraea Familia and the Artemis Familia.

Several representatives of the four major families gathered in the guild's conference room.

Among them, the Ganesha Familia and the Astraea Familia are responsible for the city's security, and they cannot ignore matters that threaten lives.

The Artemis Familia has also recently become a 'sheriff,' and all of them have received invitations to guild commissions.

The Loki Familia, as a powerful faction, also received the request, stating they could assist in this incident, but the price would be that Link would have to participate in the next expedition in half a month.

This doesn't matter to Link; it's not even a condition. 

But... 

Ais, who attended the meeting alongside him, quickly discovered the blind spot regarding this incident. 

"Tell me, Link?" 

"What's wrong, Ais? Do you have any more questions?" 

"About how you met the girl named Haruhime... Link, did you secretly go to Night Street alone?" 

"Ah, this..." 

Linkton felt bad. 

It's over; the prostitution thing is going to be uncovered. 

In the hall, Eina, Artemis, and Alise from the guild understood what Ais meant and immediately looked straight at Link. 

There was a strong feeling of "you will be beaten to death if you don't tell me the reason." 

Ais, where did your cuteness go? 

Why are you so intelligent right now? 

It's over. 

You shot yourself in the foot! 

Is this the Shura Field? 

My Goddess, it's so frightening! 

"Why don't you talk?" 

Several people gazed at Link with cruel eyes. 

"This... actually, the thing is this, guys," Link pretended to be serious, his mind spinning rapidly, searching for a reason.

"It wasn't me who secretly went to Night Street; it was because of that guy Hermes." 

"Hermes?" 

"Well, it was Hermes who took me there. He even brought an energy potion that day and encouraged me to go with him. I refused. I went out after sending him to the shop, but he didn't. He was willing to let me leave and asked me to pay him for prostituting myself..." 

Telling lies with open eyes probably refers to this situation. 

"Hermes?" 

Artemis's cold eyes froze slightly. 

As Hermes walked down the street, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, shivering all over. 

"Oh shit, what's going on? Why do I suddenly have a bad feeling?"
