Manga Born to Be King

　　"It's been a long time, Hestia."

　　"Hi, Uranus... Yes, it's been a thousand years since we last met."

　　Uranus was not happy about the reunion, and said lightly with an unshakable calm expression.Facing a character with a higher godhead, Hestia did not flinch, answering as if seeing an old friend.

　　Hestia, who had just arrived in the Nether, didn't know much about Uranus, who was known as the "God of Creation of Orari", at least since he moved from the Heaven to the Nether.

　　All Hestia knew was that he came to Orari together with the gods who first descended to the lower realm when the ancient times entered a new stage.

　　He is committed to preventing the monsters overflowing from the "big hole" from invading the surface, and together with the children, he established the fortress city, the predecessor of the labyrinth city, the cover of the dungeon (Tower of Babel).

　　He uses the guild as his faction and manages the city and the labyrinth day and night.At the same time, in order to express absolute neutrality, he renounced force by not granting "God's favor" to the staff members who are members of the group.

　　And in the underground of the guild headquarters, he offered "prayer" to the dungeon every day.

　　Because of his "prayer", he suppressed the dungeon with great power, and prevented the large movement of monsters and the actions of stepping on the surface that have occurred repeatedly since ancient times. It is generally said.

　　Therefore, this is probably the deepest prayer hall in the guild headquarters.

　　Directly below the central agency that manages Orari, the two gods Hestia and Uranus stared at each other with the same blue eyes.

　　"My duty is complete, Uranus."

　　"Good work, Fairs."

　　At this moment, the jet-black robe standing by behind Hestia shook.The man in black called Fels started to move.

　　"Then, allow me to leave the table first. I have to go quickly, or it will be too late."

...... 0

　　He walked in the direction of the tunnel he used to get here.

　　"I have a lot to ask you, can you answer me first, Uranus?"

　　"Alright."

　　From the time he saw the instruction book for the mandatory mission, from the code (message) of the sacred text, Hestia understood that Uranus was involved in this incident.She just couldn't predict the process, but she also expected that the two would face off like this.

　　"Is it your arbitrariness to issue a mandatory task?"

　　"Exactly, the guild staff has nothing to do with this matter."

　　"Are they all right?"

　　"They're going to the dungeon, I can't guarantee it."

　　Hestia confirmed the safety of her family as soon as she opened her mouth, and when she heard the other party talking about him, her eyes narrowed sternly, but she slowly relaxed her shoulders.If she wanted to get angry, it wasn't too late to hear the whole thing, she asked herself to calm down.

　　"Why are you playing such a complicated trick...doing such a roundabout thing?"

　　"I must carry out this secret meeting quickly, and let no one notice it. I have long expected that Hestia, you and your relatives will be on guard against me."

　　Does he mean that including himself, he does not want others to know the fact that Hestia was called to this prayer hall?Hestia was brought by them with tough means, but also because he expected everything?

　　At the same time, Hestia had an intuition and was tested.Uranos and the others must have long known that Hestia and the others were hiding Winnie.Including mandatory missions, they are watching to this day.

　　Observe the movements and reactions of Hestia and others.

　　To see if Hestia has this qualification, it is worth arranging an interview between the two main gods like now.

　　"I was called—for the dragon girl Winnie, right?"

　　Hestia touched the point, her eyes fixed on the burly old god sitting on the altar.

　　"What is she? Do you know anything, Uranus?"

　　"......"

　　"What is going on in the dungeon now? What are you hiding?"

　　She asked the silent Uranus.

　　Hestia let her voice echo on the dark altar and asked, "What is your divine will?"

　　Uranus' solemn appearance was illuminated by the firelight, and he spoke quietly.Eye pupils reminiscent of the sky, staring straight at Hestia.

　　"Just tell you what I've been waiting for, Hestia."

　　Nangongxiao paused slightly, and sure enough, eavesdropping on God's conversation was not that simple, and he was almost discovered just now..

Chapter 305

　　The "Big Tree Labyrinth" with the same structure as the nineteenth floor is still trying to confuse them with the bark labyrinth and countless plants.A dreamlike moss light covered the ceiling and walls, making the faces of the adventurers appear in the darkness.The team climbed over the densely covered tree roots, climbed the ramp, and pushed aside the lush green plants.

　　Before long, they arrived at the destination of the mandatory mission.This is a rectangular cave, more than ten meters wide, and the height of the top of the head is the same.The ceiling and walls are also made of bark, covered with glowing lichen moss.Although the cave is not full of the ground, there are beautiful flowerbeds of greenery and small white flowers everywhere.

　　More striking than a flowerbed, however...

　　"quartz……"

　　Perhaps because of its proximity to the [-] grain depot, dark green quartz reminiscent of emeralds grows everywhere in the cave.Each of these dark green crystals exudes a shimmering light, and when they see the quartz growing through the bark ceiling, walls and floor, with different sizes, Haruhi and the others sighed with emotion.On the front side of the view, there are piles of quartz on the far wall of the cave - forming small iceberg-like crystal clusters.In addition to this cave, many terrains around the grain depot have been eroded by quartz.

　　"It's here, but..."

　　"Nothing, no one..."

　　At first glance, not to mention people, not even monsters.The sight of a piece of Quartz is indeed dreamlike, but there is nothing special that deserves to be designated as a mandatory quest destination.Of course, there is nowhere to go further.

　　"Sir Lily, is this the place...?"

　　"It's not wrong, it's... here."

　　Lily took out the map and the floor map attached to the mandatory quest, and talked with Haruhime in confusion.

　　Because of the quartz in the cave, it is brighter than the road so far.To guard against the sudden birth of monsters, the squad huddles together, looking for any clues related to the mandatory quest.However, it turned out to be nothing but futile.

　　"There's really nothing..."

　　Ok?

　　Since Uranus is the god who supports the stability of the dungeon, so

　　He was not sealed with divine power like other gods in the lower realms, and Nangong Xiao, who didn't want to be discovered, had to fight with him.

　　At this time, Nangong Xiao withdrew the mental power on Hestia's side and began to carefully observe the strange situation around him.

　　Right, sight.The aura of sight that had grown from the moment we set off from the Tower of Babel and when we reached the nineteenth floor had all disappeared.

　　I heard.The voice that gradually grew louder, the clear melody that lingered in the ear, the singing voice that has never been heard before.

　　"Echoing the labyrinth, singing..."

　　Hearing a beautiful song reminiscent of a calm night ocean, Lily whispered as if remembering something.

　　"Calling... us?"

　　Winnie opened her eyes, her gaze drifted to the direction of the singing.They all knew, too, that the melody came from the depths of the floor, a corner of the crystal cluster covering that wall.They didn't say a word to each other, and their feet moved naturally, as if lured by a song to the deepest part of the cave.

　　A group of people stood in front of magnificent piles of quartz, lush dark green crystal columns.

　　At first glance, it appears to be just an unremarkable quartz garden.But in one place, there is a crystal that glows less.Nangongxiao broke the crystal, spreading a sharp sound like a broken glass block, the quartz was torn apart, and the hole that was originally blocked was exposed.

　　In self-healing dungeons, shattered quartz has begun to heal faster than usual.Shortly after walking in, scattered quartz fragments were scattered on the ground in the dark tree hole, and the hole was quickly closed.

　　The singing was interrupted as if the mission had been accomplished.

　　The inside of the tree hole is very narrow, and there is no smell of strange monsters being born.On the ceiling and walls, which were not densely covered with moss, small pieces of quartz protruded from several places, illuminating the cave slightly.

　　Winnie, who was walking right behind Nangong Xiao, quietly stretched out her hand to him who was leading the way. Nangong Xiao also held her hand, making her feel more calm...  

　　After walking the whole section of the ramp, you can see a pond of Qingliangquan.In terms of size, the length, width and depth are about five meters, which can be called a pond.

　　At this time, something was found in the spring water, it was a golden feather floating on the surface of the spring water.In addition, I also saw a wall with no way to walk on the water. In fact, there is a horizontal hole leading to the back.

　　The four jumped into the water and swam to a certain hole.Faces emerged from the water one after another, and a cave that was completely different from a tree hole, like a stalactite cave broke into everyone's field of vision.

　　"really......."

　　Seeing the dark labyrinth that doesn't exist in knowledge, Lily seemed to be convinced, and murmured in shock.

　　Unexplored territory.

　　The guild has been accumulating a lot of map data for the dungeon.These data, which are disclosed to adventurers to help them conquer floors, are the footprints and achievements of ancestors in the past, including ancient explorers.They gambled their lives to develop regular routes for each floor without any information, and they have drawn many maps for a long time, which can be said to be a great achievement.

　　However, there are still areas untouched by our ancestors.A full view of the immeasurable, too deep and too wide dungeon.The human race kept increasing the number of floors reached, but at the same time gave up horizontal exploration.Or real unexplored land that no one has ever discovered until now.

　　The dark cave seems to lead to the abyss.

　　The team reorganized with Winnie as the center.Magic stone lamps that are portable and exclusively for adventurers are expensive, but relatively shock-resistant and water-resistant.

　　There is almost no quartz light source, only the magic stone light that cuts through the darkness as a reliance.His heartbeat seemed to be heard by others, and the black rock passage was silent.

　　"Are you here? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

　　Nangong Xiao let out a barely audible whisper.

　　There is something, there are countless sources of sight.At this moment, they held their breath somewhere in the darkness, completely eliminated their breath, and stared at themselves and their companions. .

Chapter 306

　　However, in the next instant, the strong killing intent swelled.In an instant, the sound of "rustling" footsteps came, and at the same time, the sound of several pairs of wings flapping also flew into the air.

　　Nangong Xiao was the first to respond, the left hand holding the magic stone lamp got up, and turned to the direction of the rapidly advancing galloping sound.The light is directed towards the shadow that is approaching the fastest, and what illuminates is the scarlet scales.

　　"Oh oh oh oh!!"

　　The bloodshot lizardman swung the machete in his left hand sideways at a heroic speed.Nangong Xiao held the magic stone lamp in his hand and smashed it on the opponent's head, knocking it to the ground.

　　(Go ahead and grab the others over there and see if you can get any clues.)

　　Nangong Xiao heard the sound of breaking the air, and a wall of light rose up, blocking the lethal bullets flying towards Weini.

　　"feather!?"

　　Others saw the hidden weapon that was deflected, but then their eyes widened in shock at the true shape of the bullet falling in front of them.While still in shock, the feather burst shot from the same direction again.

　　Nangong Xiao threw the ball of light in his hand into the air, and the dazzling light illuminated the entire area.
