The Dimensional Book of Collapse

However, when he saw these black shadow troops hiding around him, he knew that the two of them were not in danger for the time being.

Because Qin Mo still wanted to hide the existence of the Black Shadow Legion from outsiders, he issued an order that they did not need to show up unless they were in danger.

With Qin Mo's arrival, the surrounding black shadow troops slowly sank into the shadows, while Qin Mo continued to walk into the cave.

"who is it!"

As soon as he stepped into the cave, Qin Mo heard a familiar voice.

"Welf, it's me, Qin Mo."

"Master Qin Mo!"

Lily's surprised voice also came out. Qin Mo turned a corner and finally saw two, no, three people hiding here.

"Master Qin Mo, please, please save this adventurer. If it weren't for this adventurer, Lily and Master Welf wouldn't be able to hold on until now."

Qin Mo looked at the adventurer kneeling on the ground in front of Lily, no...it should be said that he was a puppet.

When he saw him, Qin Mo remembered that he had encountered the corpse of an adventurer when he passed by here once. Because he was practicing puppet making at that time, he made a puppet based on the adventurer as a template.

The two arms of the adventurer doll kneeling on the ground were completely broken, and his face, legs and body were covered with scars and mutilations.

"he……"

When Qin Mo was looking at the puppet in front of him and thinking about how to explain to Lily, the adventurer's puppet raised his head and looked at Qin Mo.

Under Qin Mo's gaze, the puppet nodded heavily to Qin Mo, and then fell heavily to the ground as if it had completed its mission.

"My dear adventurer!"

Lily just wanted to help him up in a panic, and saw the body of the 'Adventurer' slowly dissolving like heated butter.

"what!"

Lily froze in her tracks, and looked at the remains of the doll with an expression that looked like she was about to cry.

"Sure enough, the ghost of the dungeon."

Welf suddenly spoke as if he had confirmed something.

"ghost?"

Lily looked at Welf uncertainly, and Welf nodded heavily: "I heard this from an adventurer named Zeke in the tavern."

"He encountered a monster feast in the dungeon just like us, and was saved by an unknown adventurer who refused to speak. It is said that he was not the only one who encountered this."

Looking at the remains of the doll which had turned into a pool of white substance and gradually seeped into the ground, Welf had no idea what it was, but it was not difficult for him to tell that it was not human.

"Although I don't know what he is, I think he will disappear like this after saving people and waiting for them to leave the sixteenth floor. It's just because the two of us didn't leave, so he has been protecting us. Now that he sees Qin Mo coming, he leaves with peace of mind."

Welf said this to Lily.

"Does that mean that this ghost is not dead?"

"Of course. It's a ghost after all."

Qin Mo didn't know whether Welf made up a lie to comfort Lily or he really felt that way, but since someone had already covered up for him, Qin Mo didn't intend to say anything more.

"I brought some medicine with me. Let's go back after replenishing our strength. Bell is already worried."

"Lord Bell! Is he okay?"

Qin Mo nodded: "Don't worry, it has been resolved."

"I'm glad Bell is okay."

Welf stood up from the ground with great effort, took the potion from Qin Mo's hand and drank it all in one gulp: "Thank you so much for making a special trip for us."

"It's okay, let's go early so Bell won't worry."

Even though he was Bell's teammate, Qin Mo did not expose his ability to travel across space. He took Welf and Lily step by step back to the ground from the regular path. The monsters that appeared along the way were pierced by a sharp blade that appeared from the air as soon as they appeared, and then the weapons and magic stones were recovered into the King's Treasure.

When I arrived, I was in a hurry to save people and couldn't collect the magic stones slowly, so I could only use my stand ability to destroy the magic stones and monsters together. When I went back, I didn't have so many concerns.

Chapter 117 Cut Him Down

The guild investigated the destruction of the Ishtar clan's base camp and the return of Goddess Ishtar, but did not find anything.

Originally, Qin Mo thought that the members of Ishtar's family would tell others that they had kidnapped Hestia and Bell.

However, they did not seem to have a strong sense of belonging to the goddess Ishtar, nor did they want to be involved in any more matters, so they all remained silent.

All in all, this matter came to no avail, and the guild did not find anyone willing to take responsibility for it, so they could only attribute it to a conspiracy by the dark faction.

Although the dark factions in Orario are not as rampant as in the Dark Ages, there are still many ambitious people planning everything under the bright and beautiful surface.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Qin Mo and the Valkyries. He just wants to level up a few more times while staying here and get more upgrade rewards. You know, the reward for each level up is directly multiplied by two.

The only change is that the girl brought back by Bell, Haruhime Sanjono, has joined the Hestia family.

Although Bell no longer needed to raise money to redeem Haruhime Sanjouno, he still chose to continue his adventure with his team, and Haruhime Sanjouno naturally joined his team.

During the turmoil of Ishtar's Familia, Hestia's Familia did not do anything unnecessary, and did not even go to the dungeon. However, until the matter was over, they did not wait for anyone who might come to hold them accountable, not even in private.

Aisha and several members of her family came to the entrance of the Hearth House to find Haruhime and Bell.

"You two are really lucky."

Aisha said to the two of them that although she didn't know who returned Ishtar, she knew that the two of them were being hunted at the time. If it weren't for the return of Goddess Ishtar that made all the favors of Ishtar's family invalid, the two of them might have been caught by the big toad.

"Bell Crane, I'll leave Chun Ji to you. If I find you bullying her, I will definitely let you see my big sword."

After that, Aisha said to Chun Ji: "Chun Ji, you too, if this boy bullies you, tell me."

"...Yes, I will definitely take good care of Haruhime."

"Don't worry, Sister Aisha."

After getting the answers from the two, Aisha looked at Qin Mo who was leaning against the garden gate in the distance: "Brother, don't you want to say something?"

Qin Mo waved his hand: "Have a good trip."

"..."

Aisha said in annoyance: "What a heartless man. We have spent so many nights together."

Seeing the strange looks from people around him, Qin Mo's eyes twitched and he spoke quickly.

"Get lost, you bastard. I was just accompanying Bell there, and we were just outside in the cold wind together, but you made it look like something else."

As soon as Qin Mo finished speaking, Hestia nodded: "Well, you can't lie in front of the gods. Qin Mo-kun didn't lie."

"Uh……"

I don't know whether Hestia did it on purpose or just said it casually, but the trust crisis that was originally in the works was resolved.

Qin Mo had just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw a familiar figure walking towards him from a distance.

"Aisi, you guys are back?"

The blonde girl who came over was Aisi from Loki's family. She had entered the dungeon some time ago because of some tasks, so she had not come for morning exercises.

"Well, what are you doing?"

Ai Si felt a little strange seeing everyone gathered at the door, so Qin Mo had to explain to her.

"That is our newest member, Sanjono Haruhime. Her former companions came to say goodbye to her."

Ai Si nodded, not sure if she understood, but Qin Mo saw that she didn't seem to care much and looked at him instead.

"I have a question for the teacher."

problem?

If you have any questions, don’t you ask your adoptive mother?

Come and ask me?

Aisi's behavior made Qin Mo a little confused. Although she always called him teacher, Qin Mo knew that he only taught Aisi some skills. From all aspects, it was obvious that the members of Loki's family were closer to Aisi.

However, he also understood that some things were harder to say to the closest people.

A teacher is one who imparts knowledge and resolves doubts.

Since Aisi calls me teacher...

"what is the problem?"

The three-no girl in front of him asked Qin Mo the question that had troubled him for a long time: "What is considered a monster?"

"As for monsters, they are the ones in the dungeon."

Before Qin Mo could answer, Kiana at the side spoke up.

"Stupid Kiana, Miss Ais is definitely not asking about this kind of thing."

"What is that?"

In fact, Qin Mo was also quite puzzled. Why did Ai Si suddenly ask this question? She had been in Orario for so many years, it was impossible that she didn't even know what a monster was.

"Ais, why do you ask this question? If we're just talking about the monsters that attack adventurers in the dungeon, I think you should know more about it than us."

Ai Si looked at the others who were looking at her curiously, hesitated for a moment but still said nothing: "Nothing, let's start today's morning exercise."

As Ai Si was about to go to the training room, Qin Mo was silent for a moment and then spoke.

"Aisi, whether or not a person is a monster is not determined by appearance or birth. Even if a monster is born in a dungeon, if it has a kind heart, then it can be called a human. On the contrary, if a person has a beastly heart, then he is nothing more than a monster in human skin."

Qin Mo didn't know what Ai Si encountered, but he guessed that she might have met a heretic in the dungeon. Maybe she killed him, or let him go.

That's why I got into this dilemma.

After hearing Qin Mo's words, Ai Si turned around and thought for a while in silence.

"I see."

I don’t know if I heard it or not.

Others didn't feel comfortable asking directly, so they just passed over the matter.

After bidding farewell to her former companions, Haruhime went to the training ground with Bell.

However, due to Haruhime's positioning, the only member of Hestia's family who did not participate in morning exercises appeared.

Qin Mo was still practicing sword skills with Ai Si, but Qin Mo felt that Ai Si's sword was completely different from before.

"What's wrong, Aisi? Your sword is full of confusion."

Although this sounds a bit metaphysical, Qin Mo really felt that Ai Si's sword gave him a feeling of being confused as if he had drawn the sword and looked around.

Hearing Qin Mo's words, Ai Si held Qin Mo's sword with her sword and asked, "Teacher, if someone hurts your companion and tries to hurt more people, what will you do?"

"Kill him!"

Qin Mo answered without hesitation.

Chapter 118: Another Visit to Riveria

Aisi's return also means one thing, that is, most of the other members of Loki's family have returned.

Among them was the city’s strongest magician, Livilia.

Qin Mo still remembered the promise that Livilia had made to him. Originally, he thought that they might not need this promise, but he went there because he was planning to teach anyway, so the more benefits he could get, the better.

But unexpectedly, during this one month adventure, Qin Mo's own magic was fine and he had his own path, but Bronya and Fu Hua's magic had not been developed into a suitable way of use.

Mei barely relied on her Herrscher instinct derived from lightning to activate magic and unleash a power beyond the original magic.

"Are you going to look for Livilia?"

After Qin Mo proposed to visit Livilia, Aisi did not refuse, but instead chose to lead the way.

Bell and Sanjono Haruhime also went to the Loki clan to listen and learn.

Although Welf and Lily survived the disaster, they were also seriously injured. It would be better for them to rest for a few days instead of working so hard.

The headquarters of Loki's family, the Mansion of Dusk, always has people guarding the door. If Qin Mo and his friends come by themselves, they will have to wait for a long time.

But if you follow Aisi, you don’t have to wait for half a day for the notification.

Shortly after following Ais into the Mansion of Dusk, Loki, the owner of the Mansion of Dusk, appeared in front of several people.

"Oh, didn't the shorty come with you?"
