I like crossing the most

Chapter 238 First Heard of the Suma Family
Adventurers Guild.

In the afternoon when the adventurers were working hard to make money in the dungeon and the guild staff could relax a bit, a loud shout suddenly came from the guild lobby, breaking the tranquility.

"Miss Aegina, I'm really sorry!"

"Oh~ I'm not angry~"

Liar!

The half-elf girl sitting on the opposite sofa had an eager smile on her face. She was already sweet and looked even more beautiful, but the black mist constantly emitting from her body showed that she was already on the verge of fury.

Is it because he lied to her?

That's right!

After returning to the ground from the 18th floor and going to the tavern, Feng Yu's hostess was congratulated by Anya, Hill, Lyu and others, and Xiao Lin knew that the news that he had been promoted to LV2 and won the title [Binder] had completely spread.

It was probably because Uranus spread it at the God Assembly in order to confirm his status as the only family member.

But in this way, his previous concealment of strength was exposed, and he immediately came to the guild to look for Aegina.

"Anyway, I'm really sorry." Xiao Lin lowered his head and said, "I didn't intentionally hide my strength, I'm really sorry for making Miss Aegina worry!"

"You are..."

Seeing that he apologized so sincerely, the kind-hearted Aegina couldn't blame her anymore.

However, it is still necessary to understand clearly.

Aegina asked: "In other words, you have already accepted the favor?"

"No, I was granted the favor half a month ago."

"is that a lie……"

"not real."

Xiao Lin didn't lie to her about this matter, and there was no need to lie.

But in Aegina's view, Kobayashi's growth is too unconventional!It took a full year to upgrade from LV1 to LV2, even for the most famous sword girl Aisi.However, Xiaolin in front of him only spent half a month, completely incomprehensible!
Wait, half a month ago?
Aegina remembered that when Kobayashi came to go through the adventurer procedures half a month ago, he said that he did not join the family, but he was granted a favor half a month ago, that is to say...

"You joined the Familia from the beginning?"

"...Yes, that's right."

Kobayashi nodded in agreement.

Seeing him so straightforward, Aegina nodded knowingly, and murmured: "No wonder..."

"what?"

"Actually, God Uranus did it on purpose. He didn't spread the fact that you became LV2. He must have some mission to teach you."

"Yes, that's right."

Although I don't know why Aegina's topic is so jumpy, Kobayashi admitted it, because he will go on an expedition with the Loki family in a while.

On the contrary, in Aegina's view, Kobayashi's concealment of the family was the inspiration of the God of Uranus.

Otherwise, he would have become a LV2 adventurer in half a month, and would have become a celebrity in the labyrinth city long ago.But there is no news now, and if it wasn't for his acquaintances, he would even ignore it soon.

Thinking about it this way, he was actually not wrong.

No, Kobayashi, who could have been admired by everyone, now has to hide his impressive achievements, don't you think he is very pitiful.

Aegina comes to a delicate conclusion and forgives Kobayashi.

"But! Even if you become a LV[-] adventurer, you have only been an adventurer for a short time, so you can't miss out on the tutorials about dungeons, you understand!"

"Yes, I understand!"

Like a soldier who received an order from the chief, Kobayashi straightened his waist and answered loudly.

It seems that tutoring will continue.

Then the two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere relaxed.

At this time, in the direction of the guild counter, an adventurer suddenly made a big noise, which attracted the attention of the two of them.

"Only [-]W Farley? How is it possible, how can those materials be worth so little, are you blind! Damn, what should such a small amount of money be... Damn!"

That was a very sloppy man.

He was constantly beating on the receiving counter, and if it wasn't for the iron railings, he might have grabbed the staff by the neck.

Temperament, fanaticism, paranoia.

Inexplicably, there is an atmosphere that makes people feel bad, and there is a feeling of being desperate to achieve the goal.

Are you desperate for money, or...

"It's coming again, Sumo family."

Aegina rested her forehead and sighed, as if she was very troubled by that person's unreasonable trouble.

Xiao Lin looked at his back with teeth and claws, and asked softly: "Do you need me to drive him out?"

"No, he will leave on his own later." Aegina shook her head and said with a warning tone: "Xiaolin, don't get involved with the Sumo family, they are very dangerous, do you hear me?"

"I see."

Xiaolin nodded.

"Well, very good." Seeing that he agreed to Eina and nodded in satisfaction, he said as if he remembered something: "Sorry, Xiaolin. I still have something to do, and I will talk about it when I come back, is that okay?"

"Of course. Miss Aegina, please."

"Also, don't think that you are strong because you are already at LV2. You must not go below the 17th floor, do you understand?"

"……I see."

If she found out that she made a big fuss on the 17th floor and also attacked Goliath, the lord of the LV4 floor, she would definitely be reprimanded again, so I decided not to say it.

Aegina left in a hurry, not knowing what the rush was.

On the other side, the Pavilion of Twilight.

Unlike other stingy and poor families, the residence of the Loki family is a castle, a big castle.

Thanks to this, all the members live here, so they love each other like a family.

The 'mother San' Riveria, who cares about the children, has been waiting for the return of the sword girl Ais, but she didn't expect it to take so long, and she came back in the evening.

Seeing his safe return, Riveria breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're back, Ace."

"……Um."

Even though he kept his words to a minimum and showed no emotion as usual, he always felt that something was not quite right.

"Well, did you apologize properly?"

"... yes."

"what?"

"Let him run away again."

The sword girl Aisi told the whole process a little discouraged, and she didn't hide the matter of asking Xiaolin to give Bell a knee pillow.

Riveria opened her mouth slightly, and let out a "poof—" laugh.It seemed that it was too much, so he turned around and smiled secretly.But her constantly shrugging shoulders made Aisi even more depressed.

Sword Princess Ais puffed out her mouth and tapped Riveria's back, strongly expressing her dissatisfaction with her making fun of herself.

"Humph."

"Sorry...hehe...but...hehe..."

Apparently Riveria didn't expect her princess to be so simple that she would do something stupid that made her laugh.

Boys give boys knee pillows or something.

It's too funny.

Riveria's laughter was not malicious, but the pure princess still felt embarrassed and ran back to her room instead.

She couldn't understand it at all, not only Riveria, but even Kobayashi was laughing, what went wrong?

"Go and update the status."

she said softly.

Walking out of the room, Jian Ji looked for Loki.

"Soma, Soma, Soma wine~"

At this time, Loki was humming an unknown song, holding up a jar with the logo of the Suma family, and swayed to the living room.

"Loki."

"Look, Ace, this is Sumo's wine~"

Loki seems to really like the wine produced by the Soma family, but the sword girl Ais doesn't care, she said bluntly:
"Well, I want to update the status."

"By the way, you haven't updated your status yet."

It was only then that Loki remembered that several of them went to the dungeon in a group, and after returning, only Sword Princess Aisi hadn't updated her status.

but……

"What can we do, we have guests coming."

"I seem to have upgraded to LV6."

"what?!"

Loki's eyes widened involuntarily. It was a bit funny to widen those narrow eyes, but now she couldn't care less about it.

"You said to upgrade to LV[-]?!"

"Hmm...but, I'm not sure yet."

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and update the status!"

"But, guest."

"Who cares about her at a time like this! Of course my little Aisi is more important!"

The anxious God grabbed Jian Ji's wrist, and now the two of them are going to do something hidden that only they can talk about. The eager Loki is like an old hooligan who can't wait to strip Ais.

No, I can't wait a second!

Loki pushed open the door of the living room, and said to the half-elf inside, "Sister Aegina, I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry right now, let Riveria accompany you for a while."

Miss Aegina, the most popular staff member of the guild who finally rushed over, was dumbfounded.

"……Eh?"

"Hey, Loki!"

Riveria got up and wanted to stop Loki, but she didn't expect that she would close the door and disappear in a blink of an eye, and even her excited shouts could be heard from the whole corridor.

"My Ace wants LV[-] ~ My Ace wants LV[-]~"

"...Really."

Riveria sighed in distress.

In the entire family, from the gods to the family members, there was no one who made her feel at ease.

Although she also knew that Ai Si might be promoted, but it wasn't certain, and she couldn't run away, so at least she finished receiving the guests first, that half-ass god!

Aegina was at a loss and couldn't figure out what was going on, but she still heard something about LV[-]...

"Sorry, Miss Aegina."

"It's okay, it's just that God Loki said just now..."

"Ah, Ais is probably about to advance to LV[-]. Really, it's just uncertain words I heard from others."

"In someone else's mouth?"

"An adventurer named Kobayashi."

"Little Lin?!"

The familiar name made Aegina stunned on the spot.

Riveria asked curiously, "Could it be that Miss Aegina is an acquaintance with him?"

"...I am his adventure advisor."

After Eina explained, she asked back: "Well, Miss Riveria, what kind of adventurer is Kobayashi?"

"A very good adventurer."

The answer is very simple, but the evaluation is quite high.

Kobayashi is proud to be recognized by the famous LV[-] powerhouse in the labyrinth city, and also the Nine Demon Princess Riveria.

Thinking about it, how could it be an ordinary person to upgrade to LV[-] in half a month.

What kind of secret does that person have?

Aegina's curiosity grew even stronger.

At this moment, a howl suddenly sounded from the entire Loki family resident.

"Ais! Ais... she has been upgraded to LV[-] oh oh oh oh!!!!"

Loki's voice pierced his ears, and almost all members of the family knew about it.

That fool!

Riveria sighed again.

But it's something very worth celebrating, and there's nothing wrong with spreading the word.

Moreover, according to the rules formulated by the guild, the family members are not allowed to conceal the rank of the family members, especially when the Loki family members are still being watched by everyone, it is even more impossible to conceal it.

Another room.

"Congratulations, Ace."

"Um……"

"What, you don't seem very happy. Isn't this your long-awaited promotion?"

"Because I knew it in advance, so."

"Oh, is that Xiaolin?"

This is also of course.After all, the focus of surprise is surprise. If you know it in advance, how can you be happy.

It's just so strange, why does Kobayashi know?Combined with Uranus' request...

interesting.

The corner of Loki's mouth curled up in a dangerous arc.

By the way, I almost forgot, there is still something to answer questions.

Immediately took Ai Si back to the living room.

Loki, who pushed open the door, didn't leave the guest's apologies at all, and still broke in without knowing it, shouting: "Here we come, Sister Aegina, are you in a hurry."

"There's no rush."

Aegina put down the teacup in her hand.

After all, I have something to ask of the other party, so it would be rude to show anger.Coupled with the fact that the commotion just now had already let her know why Loki left in a hurry, it was even more impossible to get angry.

"Okay, okay, today is really a good day."

His own princess was promoted to LV[-], and the spirit wine from the Sumo family added to the fun, Loki was in a good mood.

Quickly came to the main seat and opened the dusty wine.

"I'm in a good mood right now, so sister Aegina can ask you any questions, and I'll tell you everything."

"That was a real help."

It was not easy meeting Loki.

If it wasn't for when she went to the store to look for the divine wine, she happened to meet, and Riveria helped her buy the expensive divine wine, she might not have been able to meet her.

So get straight to the point.

"Then Lord Loki, what do you mean when you say that the Sumo family worships this kind of wine instead of a god?"

"To be precise, this damn expensive wine is a failure for Sumo. What those guys worship is the finished product of divine wine that cannot be found on the market."

"Finished product?"

"That's right, that's not an ordinary wine."

Loki's expression became serious.

Aegina understood that the next words were the key point, so she pricked up her ears and listened carefully.

"As long as you take a sip of that kind of wine, you will be addicted to it. The people of the Sumo family join the family to drink that stuff. The only thing they care about is the wine."

"how come……"

Let Loki call that thing, no matter how you think about it, it's not a good thing.

Aegina asked again: "Do you mean that the existence of the Suma family is only for this kind of wine?"

"That's right, but concentrating on brewing requires financial resources. Therefore, those who make a lot of money can drink a little of the finished product. And as long as they taste it once, they will desperately make money to taste it again. Even for [-] fare, Not hesitating to harm his companions, not hesitating to sacrifice others. That’s right, it’s such a bad thing.”

"........."

Everyone present was silent.

Obviously, they didn't expect the Sumo family members to be so paranoid and fanatical.

"But we actually don't know much. The above is all I know about the Suma family. I wonder if sister Aegina is satisfied?"

"Yes, thank you very much."

Aegina thanked her and left.

Seeing the end of the matter, Loki got up and said to 'Mom Sang' and Jian Ji: "Let's go, there is a meeting."

"Ah."

"I see."

Seeing the seriousness of their gods, the two of them knew that this meeting was very important.
