In the original storyline, the Loki Familia was tasked with investigating the Heretic case. The higher-ups of the Loki Familia mobilized, wanting to kill the Heretics, especially Finn, showing no mercy. Even Ais drew her sword against Bell because of it.
But that was because Bell was the one standing beside the Heretics, not Wang Xiaoming.
Now that Wang Xiaoming has replaced Bell beside the Heretics, Finn, knowing Wang Xiaoming's strength, would absolutely not do such a thing!
As for the rest of the familias, Wang Xiaoming can only say that he doesn't take any of them seriously, even the Dark Faction.
"Captain Finn, now that you mention it, I'm actually looking forward to it, looking forward to those familias besieging us."
"Why?"
Finn looked at Wang Xiaoming with some confusion. From the moment Xiaohong stood behind Wang Xiaoming, Finn understood that he couldn't let the Loki Familia get involved. But even the Loki Familia wouldn't be able to withstand a combined attack from other familias in Orario, yet Wang Xiaoming was actually looking forward to it?
"Because my Hestia just wants me to create a big sensation. Originally, my idea was to have everyone in the familia level up a bit."
A confident smile appeared on Wang Xiaoming's face.
"But now, there's a better and faster way."
"What do you say, would being besieged by many familias in Orario and then defeating all those familias count as a big sensation?"
462. Bringing the Daughter from Outside Home to Meet the Wife
To be enemies with the entire Orario, it wouldn't come to that. After all, many familias in Orario are at most LV2. They don't have the courage to confront Wang Xiaoming head-on. Among the top familias, the Four Emperor Familias wouldn't possibly be enemies with Wang Xiaoming. So what Wang Xiaoming has to face is probably those familias in the mid-tier with some ability.
But even so, that is still being enemies with many familias in Orario. Once he wins, the Hestia Familia will once again top the trending searches, and in an absolutely strong manner.
And this began when Wang Xiaoming and the others returned to the surface.
When the Loki Familia came out, the passersby gathered in front of the Tower of Babel cheered as usual, welcoming the celebrity Loki Familia.
And after the Loki Familia had all come out, Wang Xiaoming appeared with his girls. The passersby cheered again. After all, compared to the Loki Familia, the Hestia Familia was more like an idol group, full of beautiful girls.
When Wang Xiaoming appeared with the girls, the cheers were even more exaggerated than before for the Loki Familia. But when Xiaohong appeared in the passersby's field of vision, the originally boiling cheers suddenly stopped. Everyone curiously looked at Xiaohong, curious about Xiaohong's hands and face exposed outside the blanket.
Xiaohong's blue hair didn't matter, but the gem in the center of her forehead made people very curious, because it looked like a magic stone that might drop from a monster in the dungeon. And then there were her hands. Her hands looked like ordinary human hands, but her claws were very long! At least five centimeters long, and they looked very sharp.
"Who is that?"
"I don't know, I've never seen her before, and I haven't heard of her either."
"Could it be another newcomer in the Hestia Familia?"
"But this appearance looks so strange. What race is she?"
"I don't know."
These were the words of ordinary adventurers, or rather, relatively normal adventurers.
An ordinary adventurer, when seeing Xiaohong, especially seeing Xiaohong outside, should be curious at first. After all, Xiaohong didn't show any intention of attacking, she was just simply following behind Wang Xiaoming and curiously looking around.
But some adventurers were different. The moment they saw Xiaohong, they recognized Xiaohong's identity.
"Hey, hey, hey~~ I'm not mistaken, that's her, right..."
"Ah, that's her..."
"This is really surprising. That kind of thing actually appeared on the surface."
"A member of the Hestia Familia, huh? That newly rising familia, I heard that the guys inside are all geniuses."
"Hahaha, geniuses, huh? That's really enviable. But I have to say, those girls' outfits are really nice."
"That's right, that's right."
"Hehehe~~~"
These were the conversations of the perverted adventurers.
And although these conversations were very quiet, Wang Xiaoming could hear them directly.
The enhanced sensory abilities brought by the God-Slayer physique, coupled with the magic-enhanced eyes and ears, allowed Wang Xiaoming to clearly hear the direction from which these conversations came, and then directly see who the people talking were.
"It's a pity, their captain [Magic Sword Knight] is a LV5, a bit difficult to deal with."
"Then don't deal with that [Magic Sword Knight]. We just need to lure him away and get that monster into our hands."
"No matter what his purpose is for bringing that monster out of the dungeon, as long as he's in Orario, he has to follow the rules of Orario."
"That's right, that's a monster, hahahaha."
The poachers spoke jokingly as they left. Wang Xiaoming didn't do anything, he just remembered their appearance, because he knew that these people were just a small part of the poachers, not everyone. It's useless to get rid of these guys now. Wang Xiaoming needs them to lure out more poachers, and then clean them all up at once.
Watching the other party leave, Wang Xiaoming withdrew his gaze and continued walking forward with the others, under the curious gazes of the adventurers, and even raised his hand to put it on Xiaohong's head. This made Xiaohong, who was already curious about the outside world, a little confused.
"It's okay, just follow behind me. As long as you follow behind me, no one can do anything to you."
"Yes!"
Although she was very confused and scared by being watched by so many people, Xiaohong believed Wang Xiaoming and nodded seriously.
Following Wang Xiaoming, Xiaohong left the square in front of the Tower of Babel under the curious gazes of the adventurers and went to the Hestia Familia's residence. Along the way, many people were watching them, but no one took the initiative to say anything, because Wang Xiaoming was the [Magic Sword Knight], the captain of the Four Emperor Familia Hestia Familia, a genius who rushed to LV5 in half a year. This is the confidence brought by strength.
Along the way, Xiaohong only brought curiosity to the adventurers, but there was no disgust, except for those perverted poachers.
Wang Xiaoming completely safely brought Xiaohong back to Ideal, brought her to Hestia, introduced her to the rest of the familia, and then Hestia, as expected, screamed.
"Dragon race!?"
"To be precise, she's a Heretic of the dragon race, a special race born in the dungeon."
Hestia was not clear about the Heretics, because she had only been on the surface for a short time and didn't know much about the Heretics. After Wang Xiaoming's explanation, she understood what a Heretic was.
As a kind god, after learning about the birth and situation of the Heretics, Hestia immediately became overwhelmed with sympathy and cried while hugging Xiaohong.
"So pitiful, so pitiful."
Xiaohong, who was being hugged, was dumbfounded. She met Wang Xiaoming and Glenda from birth, so she didn't actually encounter any danger. Compared to other Heretics who hid in the dungeon to avoid adventurers, her start can be said to be a lucky one, so she didn't understand Hestia's sudden surge of sympathy.
"Mingjun, you brought Xiaohong back because you want to help her, right?"
Hestia hugged Xiaohong while looking up at Wang Xiaoming and asking.
"Yes, since I encountered this kind of thing, I naturally have to help out. I plan to adopt Xiaohong. According to Leticia, she treats me as a father, so I'll take good care of her."
"Um... Mingjun, your reason is really..."
Hestia didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but Wang Xiaoming directly leaned into her ear.
“It can also be considered as letting our future children familiarize themselves with it.”
With a *shua* sound, Hestia's face turned completely red, and she hurriedly pushed Wang Xiaoming away.
“Mingjun, what are you saying in front of everyone... Really... I'm ignoring you.”
On the surface, she was ashamed and indignant because of Wang Xiaoming's words, but after pushing Wang Xiaoming away, Hestia lowered her head, hugged Xiaohong, and giggled behind Wang Xiaoming's back.
“Hehehe~~ Mingjun wants to have children with me~~ Hehehe~~”
Looking at Hestia holding Xiaohong, Wang Xiaoming didn't feel anything, because Hestia's personality would never reject heretics, and her personality would definitely agree with him and help him.
“Mingjun, let me take care of this child.”
Yako, who was always in charge of internal Familia affairs, walked over, looked at Xiaohong being held by Hestia, and took the initiative to ask to take care of her.
“Yako, you still have to take care of Tina and Xia Shi, won't it be too tiring?”
Wang Xiaoming looked at Yako, and Yako smiled and shook her head.
“Not at all. Originally, my housework has been shared a lot by Leticia and Lamiya, and Tina and Xia Shi are not ordinary children. They can take care of themselves completely. Since this child's identity is so special, then Mingjun, you should still have a lot of things to solve, right? I will be responsible for taking care of her, and then Mingjun, you can go solve the things you need to solve.”
Yako's greatest strength is to provide Wang Xiaoming with support from behind, and this time is still the same.
“Then, I'll have to trouble you, Yako.”
And Wang Xiaoming was also very relieved to hand Xiaohong over to Yako.
“Master, what are you planning to do next?”
Wang Xiaoming's other deputy, the head maid Leticia, also came to his side to ask him.
“What we need to do next is wait for those people to come to our door.”
The person had been brought back, and the news had been spread. Next, they just had to wait for those guys to come to their door.
And those poachers didn't disappoint Wang Xiaoming. Early the next morning, someone came to their door.
463. Wang Xiaoming was reported
The Ganesha Familia, as one of the Four Emperor Familias, is also the city management Familia of the entire Orario. If something happens in Orario, the Ganesha Familia will definitely appear.
Appearing outside the Hestia Familia's residence gate was the Ganesha Familia, as well as many onlookers who were curious about the Ganesha Familia's sudden visit.
“Captain Wang Xiaoming, good morning.”
“Good morning.”
The first person to open the door was very polite and greeted Wang Xiaoming, because Wang Xiaoming had once commissioned the Ganesha Familia to maintain the security of Pleasure Quarter, so Wang Xiaoming knew them, and at the same time, they had a very good impression of Wang Xiaoming. As members of the Ganesha Familia, they all agreed with Ganesha's philosophy, which is to liven things up!
“Captain Wang Xiaoming, we're here today because we want to confirm something with you. Someone reported that you brought a monster back with you yesterday when you came out of the dungeon. Is this true?”
However, this time they came to Wang Xiaoming not for any activity, but because they received a report that the Hestia Familia was hiding a monster brought out from the dungeon!
Orario has a Monster Festival, and it's not anyone else, but the Ganesha Familia who is responsible for holding it. When the festival is held, the Ganesha Familia will enter the dungeon and capture some monsters alive, and then put those monsters in the festival for performance, but the Ganesha Familia is allowed to do so by Ouranos, and the Ganesha Familia also has enough manpower and strength to manage those monsters.
But the Hestia Familia is different. The Hestia Familia has not been allowed. If the Hestia Familia secretly brings monsters to the surface as the report said, then they, the Ganesha Familia, must come and see what level of monster it is and whether the monster is dangerous.
Once the monster loses control and rushes to the street, it will cause great losses to Orario. They, the Ganesha Familia, as the city management, naturally need to control it.
As soon as the Ganesha Familia's squad leader said this, the surrounding onlookers were shocked, and then immediately started discussing.
Some people knew about Xiaohong being brought back by Wang Xiaoming, but some people didn't, and those who didn't know were easily led by the nose by others using information gaps, and those who knew didn't understand Xiaohong's identity, and were also easily led astray by information gaps. In short, they were easily led by the nose.
“I did bring someone out of the dungeon, but the person I brought out is not a monster.”
Wang Xiaoming didn't mean to hide it. He directly admitted that he brought someone out, but he didn't admit that Xiaohong was a monster.
“It's good that it's not a monster.”
The other party believed Wang Xiaoming's words very much. After Wang Xiaoming said it wasn't a monster, he immediately nodded in agreement, and then asked Wang Xiaoming with a casual attitude.
“You brought someone out, is it a new adventurer who rashly entered the dungeon?”
“The other party is not an adventurer.”
“Not yet registered as an adventurer? Not registered as an adventurer, but secretly entered the dungeon? That's too dangerous. Fortunately, you met Captain Xiaoming, otherwise something would have happened.”
Ah, yes, yes, yes! That's what you said!
Wang Xiaoming looked at the other party's sighing expression and almost laughed out loud. You're really thinking too upright.
However, Wang Xiaoming didn't intend to hide it in the first place, so he directly told the truth.
“Sorry, the other party is not a newbie, but a Dragonewt.”
“Dragonewt?”
Obviously, the other party had never heard of this race either, and was stunned for a moment, but Wang Xiaoming didn't care and continued to explain.
“Yes, a child in the dungeon with a body and abilities similar to a dragon happened to be encountered by me, so I brought her back and prepared to adopt her.”
“Captain Xiaoming, let me ask, is this Dragonewt the dragon in the depths of the dungeon?”
“From a racial point of view, she has very similar characteristics to the dragon in the dungeon, but don't worry, she and the dragon in the dungeon are not the same species. She is not a monster. She is a demi-human with the power of a dragon, just like the werewolf with the characteristics of a wolf.”
Wang Xiaoming very directly defined Xiaohong's identity as a demi-human, which made the people of the Ganesha Familia a little confused, just like Burt in the dungeon at the beginning. He didn't know for a moment whether there was really a race called Dragonewt.
But as the city management, he had to see it with his own eyes.
“Can I see the child you brought back... the Dragonewt child.”
“No problem.”
Wang Xiaoming shouted directly at the door behind him.
“Xiaohong, come here.”
“Yes!”
A response came immediately from inside the door. Soon, a petite figure ran out from inside.
The moment she appeared, all the onlookers outside the residence gate, including the people of the Ganesha Familia, were shocked, because what came out of the gate was a... dragon maid?
That's right, another maid. After bringing Xiaohong back to the Familia, Wang Xiaoming rushed to make her a maid outfit overnight. Unlike Glenda, Glenda's human form looks like a very ordinary cute girl. She won't show her wings and tail, but Xiaohong is different. Her monster body makes it impossible for her wings to retract, and her claws are also extremely sharp, so Wang Xiaoming specially made her a maid outfit, which looks very cute and can directly show the wings on her back, and the claws can also be fully displayed, without any intention of hiding her dragon characteristics.
