ARGONAUT

Alliance

Bell has been training with two swords for a month. Bell would go to dungeon after the training everyday. As Ryu suggested he brought light armor and two swords which had drained much of his savings for the past 2 months. Now he is capable of going to the 8 th floor all by himself.

Hestia where updating his status. She informed Bell that he is capable of leveling up now. All his abilities has went to A rank except magic which was still empty. Both of them agreed not to level up for now as it may draw too much attention.

Bell and Hestia decided to take a day off. Both of them went out for shopping together. Suddenly they were interrupted by an Elf. He introduced himself as Hedin. He was a smooth talker. He informed them that lady Freya likes to have a meeting with the two. Both Bell and Hestia were was little bit terrified. Hedin assured them that they are not into harming them anyway.

Both of them agreed to meet Freya. Both of them were taken to the Babel Tower. They are really amazed by the luxury they witnessed. They entered Goddess Freya's room. They could see Ottar standing beside her. Upon seeing him Bell felt a shiver run through his spine.

Freya " It's been a while Hestia, how are you doing?"

Hestia " Yes it's been a while we have met. I am doing fine how about you?"

Freya " I am always fine"

Bell was surprised to see that his goddess wasn't afraid at all.

Hestia " Well, one of your children said that you want to meet us. "

Freya upon turning her attention towards bell" Sure I did. It's just I am curious about your child Hestia. I just wanted to know more about him. "

Bell were surprised to hear that. Terror happened to be consuming him fully. He dare to speak a word .

Freya with a smile " O my, did I just scare you little one . "

After a moment of silence Hestia " Alright Bell kun now its time for you to speak up"

Bell gulped hard at this moment. After taking a long breath.

Bell " My name is Bell Cranel. I am the only child of Goddess Hestia. I am an adventurer for two months."

Freya with a simile " I do know about that. I want to know about your SKILL"

Bell were taken aback for a bit. He wondered how she knew about that.

Freya was still looking at Bell who was literally panicking and trying hard to pick up words.

Freya then with a smile "Liaris Freese, accelerated growth depending upon how strong your emotions are. "

Suddenly her pupil lit up with a violet color and she started walking towards Bell . Her face was really close to bell. Bell is sweating. She was trying to Chaim him.

After sometime Freya getting exited " O my you can resist my Chaim , how interesting"

Ottar was really surprised at the fact. Bell looked confused.

Hestia without much reaction " Alright Freya about your deal "

Bell " What deal are you talking about, Goddess ?"

Freya and Hestia confronting.

Hestia " Before I say something l would like to know your opinion, Bell."

Bell waiting for Hestia to Explain.

Hestia " Okay Bell, here's the thing. Lady Freya here likes to form an alliance with us. The reason behind this motive is you, Bell. She is really impressed with the soul you have. She really wants it to shine brightly. She said she can help you achieve your goal of being a hero in turn you just have to be on her side."

Bell was surprised to hear that. He remained silent for a moment as he was thinking what to do. After sometime he asked her.

Bell " Goddess, I think forming an alliance with Freya Familia will be a good fortune."

Hestia " If you say so, then no objection from my side also."

Freya with a smile " Oh That a good news. So it's a deal now. Thank you for accepting my deal, Hestia"

Hestia " Don't mention it."

Freya to Bell " Alright then as a token of appreciation I would like to give you a reward."

Bell " A reward..."

Ottar then brought a book to lady Freya.

Freya with a smile" Here, it's for you. Make sure you make good use of it."

Bell " Is it a story Book?"

Hestia with a smile " I know you would say that. But Bell it's a Grimoire."

Bell " Wait W-W-What...?"

Both girls laughed at the freaking out bell.

Bell " Freya sama it's too costly for me. Seriously I-I really owe you one. Thank you very much. And I will do my best to support you in any way possible. "

Freya " If you want to thank someone then you should thank Syr. She is the one who deserves it. And make sure you are aware of her feelings."

Bell was surprised at the last part before he turned Tomato head.

Both Hestia and Bell went back home. Bell was complaining about not telling him about the deal. Hestia was teasing bell about Syr.

Bell decided to read the Grimoire that night itself.
