Chapter 500: Banquet of the Gods
Hestia's usual attire is quite simple and neat. The reason why she changed into this formal attire today is to participate in the "Banquet of the Gods" hosted by her friend, the goddess Hephaestus.

The so-called "Banquet of the Gods" refers to a more casual gathering held by the gods who descended from the lower realms every once in a while in order to meet the friends of the gods.

Which god will hold it, and on what day, there are no rules at all. Which god wants to hold a banquet, and whichever god wants to participate can attend. This shows the capriciousness and freedom of the gods.

Of course, not all the gods of the lower world can hold the event. For example, "poor gods" like Hestia and Jianyu Leizhu God, even their daily life is very difficult, and they have no money to buy the drinks that need to be consumed at the banquet. with ingredients.

Therefore, generally speaking, [The Banquet of the Gods] is held by Goddess Loki, Goddess Hephaestus, Goddess Freya, God Ganesha, God Apollo, and other powerful or well-funded gods.

The banquet was at noon, so when Hestia arrived at the venue, preparations for the banquet were still going on inside.

After discovering Hestia, the members of [Hephaestus Familia] who served as waiters greeted him one after another, and Hestia responded to them one by one with a smile.

In the lounge behind the banquet hall, Hestia found Hephaestus sitting there tasting wine.

Hestia put the huge lunch box aside, with a flattering smile on her face, she greeted Hephaestus: "Hephaestus, my friend, I haven't seen you for so long, I really miss you ah."

"Hestia, let's start with the ugly words. If it's a loan, Wallis won't lend it to you."

Hephaestus knew her friend very well. Seeing Hestia's abnormal smile, she guessed that the other party had something to ask her. She was not moved at all, but became vigilant in her heart.

"How rude, Hephaestus," Hestia puffed up her mouth in dissatisfaction, and asked angrily, "Do I look like the main god who covets the purse of a friend of God?"

"How dare you say that, not only did you eat and live in my house, but after you were driven away, you pretended to be pitiful and said that you had no money, no family, no job. So it's only natural to be treated like a thief. "

Hephaestus followed Hestia's words and nodded seriously, her red left eye narrowed, and she bluntly stated the "good things" Hestia had done.

"That... Although it was true in the past, it is different now," Hestia was a little embarrassed, then raised his head and said proudly: "...Because I am also the main god of the family now."

"It seems to be called Kazuhiko, the human with black hair and black eyes."

Hephaestus was busy forging weapons before, and had never met Kazuhiko Uchiha, but she had heard about him from other people.

"That's true. There are quite a few gods who have changed after having a family, so just tell me what's going on. According to the content, I might consider breaking off relations with you forever."

Hestia didn't take Hephaestus' warning of "broken relationship" to heart, because she knew the character of her friend, but considering that she was about to ask the other party, she was still a little worried that the other party would be affected. of rejection.

With a flattering smile on Hestia's face, she hugged Hephaestus's arm and asked tentatively: "That. Hephaestus, I heard that you held a banquet this time to celebrate the newly created A top-level magic sword?"

"Well, a child (family member) gave me a good piece of magic material before. I was just bored, so I forged it into a magic sword. Although it is not as good as the artifact made in the heaven, it is also better than ordinary The magic sword is much stronger."

After saying these words, Hephaestus seemed to have guessed something, and asked with some uncertainty: "Hestia, don't you want me to give it to you?"

"Hey hey I really want that magic sword"

Hestia smiled and noticed that her friend's expression had changed, and immediately added an explanation: "I will spend money to buy it, but you also know my situation, I hope you can let me pay in installments."

In order to express her sincerity, Hestia immediately made a standard "earth seat" to Hephaestus, and begged coquettishly: "Please, Hephaestus, I want to give it as a gift." To Kazuhiko, to help him explore better."

"Hestia, you have really changed. Get up, I promise you, but from now on, you have to work hard for me, and you can't be like before."

Hephaestus felt very relieved to see her good friend changed from a waste goddess to a responsible family god, and stretched out her hand to pull Hestia up.

"Great!" Hestia cheered, and said gratefully: "Hephaestus is indeed my best god friend, thank you, I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life."

"No matter how much you brag, you still have to sign the contract honestly later. After all, the materials are provided by the children (families), and I will not let them provide the materials they have collected so hard for free."

Hephaestus was business-like, and quickly asked her family members to draw up an installment purchase contract, and only after Hestia signed her name did she hand over the magic sword to Hestia.

At noon, all the main gods who were invited to the banquet arrived at the venue. After the organizer, Goddess Hephaestus, made a ceremonial opening speech, the [Banquet of the Gods] officially began.

This [Banquet of the Gods] is in the form of a buffet. A row of long tables covered with pure white tablecloths are filled with various dishes, as well as various fresh fruits exuding a refreshing aroma.

Pleasant music sounded in the hall, the waiters serving tea and water were rushing in and out, and there was a band by the wall preparing to play, obviously preparing for the dance party after the meal.

"Hmm! Waiter, bring the step platform, hurry up!"

Amidst the din of people, Hestia ordered the waiter who was a member of [Hephaestus Familia], and waited for the other party to move the stepping platform, and put the dishes that seemed relatively easy to put one by one. Put it in the lunch box you brought.

Seeing this scene, the young waiter showed a speechless expression, but Hestia was a goddess after all, and she was also a friend of their home god, so he didn't say anything to stop Hestia.

Just as Hestia was filling up the lunch box, there was an undisguised laughing sound from behind.
