[48] Entertainment District!
[48] Entertainment District!
"Sir, I believe this belongs to you." Syr said with a smile, emitting a comforting aura.
Upon hearing this, August calmed himself down. Indeed, being targeted by the Goddess Freya could be troublesome, but for August, it might be a significant opportunity, a tremendous stroke of luck.
As the owner of the Sin of Lust, the lustful power emanating from Freya was simply astounding. If he could absorb it, it would undoubtedly be a boost to his strength.
"Sir?"
Looking at the man in front of her lost in thought, Syr didn't get angry. Or rather, in her eyes, this was expected.
She was the embodiment of 'beauty,' and any man would find it challenging to resist her allure. Even when she suppressed her charm and disguised herself, the effect remained the same.
"Sorry, what did you just say?"
"I found this in the place where you passed by. Is it yours?"
As she spoke, she took out a magic stone.
It wasn't a particularly valuable magic stone, worth a few hundred valis at most. Moreover, she hadn't really found the magic stone, she was just using it as an excuse to strike up a conversation and establish a connection.
"This isn't mine. I didn't bring any magic stones with me."
"Oh, I see. It's probably dropped by other adventurers. Lucky you, finding a magic stone someone else dropped."
Syr cheerfully put the magic stone away as August stopped in his tracks. The magic stone had already completed its mission the moment he stopped. Whether August accepted it or not was inconsequential.
"By the way, esteemed adventurer, our tavern has a special offer today. Do you have any plans for the evening?"
"You're not trying to attract customers with a magic stone, are you?"
"Hehe, caught in the act, huh?"
Syr stuck her tongue out at August, looking cute.
For a man, seeing such a beautiful girl acting cute like this would be captivating, making it difficult for anyone to resist.
"Where is your tavern?"
"It's right there, the Hostess of Fertility."
"Oh, here?"
"Do you know, sir?"
"Of course, both my familia's goddess and her members really like that place."
"Ah? Are they regulars at our tavern? I wonder which Familia you belong to."
"Loki Familia."
"I see. So you're Loki Familia member."
"That's right. If I have the chance tonight, I'll drop by."
"Then, Syr will look forward to it."
August nodded and continued on his way.
As he left, a glint of light flashed in Syr's eyes.
"He's actually Loki's child? After Sword Princess, Loki has found another unique child. However, can this child truly be controlled? I've seen it, that child, he's similar to me."
Syr, or rather Freya, spoke slowly, standing in place.
Just as August could sense the aura of lust on her, Freya naturally could see into August's soul with her eyes that could penetrate human souls.
The soul, like the embodiment of lust, surprised her.
She was the Goddess of Love and Beauty, and 'Love' included both 'Romantic Love' and 'Sexual Desire.'
Thus, she was the Goddess of Beauty and, at the same time, the Goddess of Love and Desire.
These were bestowed upon her by her divinity. However, August was not a god, he was a human, a complete human being.
But even such a human being possessed a similar essence to hers, which astonished her.
This was why she took the initiative to approach August.
With just a simple encounter, she could confirm her thoughts.
If she was the Goddess of Desire, then this child was the son of desire.
Such a human being naturally piqued her interest.
Although the saying goes, "There can only be one tiger on a mountain," unless they are of the same gender, her interest was aroused.
In Orario, there was another goddess, and Freya and she were like water and fire because both had the same divine duties.
But August was different. He was not a god, and he was male.
If she could make him hers, her future would undoubtedly be secure.
As the Goddess of Desire, her own desires were destined never to be satisfied, and that was why her partner list was exceedingly extensive.
Most of them were, however, people she would ignore once she had them. Not only male gods but also the children of her Familia, most had experienced such a relationship with her.
Every person, after receiving Freya's favor, would completely immerse themselves under her pomegranate skirt, willing to give everything for the goddess, be it their lives or souls.
Although they might not receive Freya's favor a second time in their lives, they had no regrets.
Freya, too, continuously indulged in hunting in Orario, embracing those souls that shimmered. Even if they were children of other Familia, she did the same, as no one could resist her beauty.
But August gave Freya a completely different feeling. The irresistibility of the same origin made her struggle to restrain herself.
"I must have you! Definitely!"
Flames flickered in Freya's eyes.
However, the next moment, Freya realized that she seemed not to know his name.
In an instant, the goddess felt baffled.
At this moment, August continued walking towards Entertainment District.
However, August's steps were slow because the entire Orario was filled with the aura of lust, more or less, but everywhere.
As August walked, stopping here and there, he absorbed all these lustful powers.
This made August even more eager for Entertainment District.
In this way, after more than thirty minutes, August arrived at the most concentrated area of lustful power in Orario.
However, there weren't many people in this place.
But the surroundings were filled with an enormous aura of lust, confirming that this was undoubtedly Entertainment District.
Yet, unlike the red-light districts or brothels in other places, Orario's Entertainment District was different.
Behind Entertainment District was the Goddess Ishtar, who, like Freya, was a Goddess of Beauty and possessed the skill 'Allure' just like Freya.
The members of Ishtar Familia, who were the courtesans of Entertainment District, were not ordinary streetwalkers. Each one was a battle courtesan of the Amazon race.
They fought in the dungeons during the day and entertained clients at night. This was the situation of Ishtar Familia.
In the whole of Orario, Ishtar Familia's combat strength ranked top-notch, with members including level 3 adventurers.
Combined with Entertainment District being the biggest gold mine for men in Orario, the Familia itself had an incredibly vast financial power.
Not to mention the members of Ishtar Familia who also ventured into the dungeon during the day.
The entire Entertainment District was a colossal wealth-gathering place.
