I was accidentally injured by God and I just want to be an ordinary person

He subconsciously fell into deep thought. Since the people in the Demon Tribe admired him so much, shouldn't he do something to give back? He should rectify the policies of the Demon Tribe, such as opening an orphanage or a school for training adventurers. As for expenses, there were endless resources in the warehouse, so it wouldn't be a problem at all. The only thing left was a specific plan and people to implement it.

"Little Ella, little Ella, do you want to try it?"

While I was thinking about all sorts of things in my mind, a piece of steaming barbecued meat appeared in my field of vision. Although the surface looked a little black - it was not burnt, but the meat itself was this color - the smell it emitted was very tempting.

When Ella wasn't paying attention, Angeline bought a big bag of barbecue from somewhere. However, judging from the fact that she didn't eat it herself but distributed it to everyone, she probably didn't do it just for fun.

Ella took the barbecue handed to her by Angelini and took a small bite from the top. The explosive aroma instantly filled her taste buds, and then the greasiness and tenderness of the meat also traveled along the tip of her tongue to the nerves in her brain. The taste of the first bite alone made Ella feel intoxicated. Of course, it would be even more delicious if sprinkled with chopped green onions or drizzled with sauce.

But this beauty only lasted for a moment, and doubts emerged from the bottom of my heart - I didn't know if it was my illusion, but some of the taste inside had a subtle sour taste.

To confirm this doubt, Ella took another bite. Just like before, it did feel immature and green. She turned her gaze to other people and found that they had the same doubts as her.

"Lotte, does this taste a little off?"

"Hmm, there's a subtle sourness to it. Meat shouldn't have that taste, right?"

Fearing that it might be poisonous or have been added with something strange, Ella used the "Low-Level Item Appraisal" on it.

"Huh? It's miasma again..."

"Have you discovered anything, Princess?"

"Camisia, do you still remember the 'mutated raccoon' we found in the mithril mine?"

"Yeah, I remember. It later became the material for the airship."

"That kind of monster spreads miasma, contaminating everything around it. The meat is sour and astringent because of the miasma. Perhaps the boss just happened to catch an animal contaminated by the miasma."

While looking at the skewers in front of her with disgust, Ella stuck out her tongue slightly. The sour feeling was really too uncomfortable.

"Is that so? All the food near the underground tower is like this?"

In contrast to Ella, Lucia stared at her with her golden eyes wide open with a completely nonchalant expression, and at the same time handed the skewer of meat in her hand to Shitz behind her. Of course, she gave it to Shitz not because it was not tasty, but Lucia felt that Shitz should replenish his nutrition first. One skewer of meat cost five iron coins, which was not something she could eat in her current financial situation.

"Eh? Has it always been like this?"

"Well, it might be hard to get used to it at first, but you'll get used to it over time."

"...Let me try, 'Dispel'."

A purple halo swept across the half-skewer of meat in her hand, and Ella took another bite.

"Yeah, that way it won't have that smell."

"Dispel" can expel the miasma attached to the food, and the main reason for the strange taste is the presence of miasma, so as long as you use "Dispel" on the skewers, the taste will return to normal.

"Really? Let me try it too, ah—mm."

As if not caring at all that Ella had already eaten the skewers, Lucia leaned over, opened her small lips, and gently bit the skewers in Ella's hand.

“Eh? Ehhhhh?!!!”

"Hmm...it really doesn't have that flavor anymore. What's wrong with you, Miss Elelaya?"

“No, nothing…”

[This is just good friends sharing food. It won't be considered strange by others. This must be the case. Yes, this must be the case...]

Comforting herself in her heart, Ella blushed and turned her eyes away. At this point, she couldn't be so shameless as to eat the remaining small piece, but it would be a pity to throw it away. Moreover, if Lucia saw it, she might think that she hated her. Therefore, the best thing to do would be to store the remaining part and seal it while no one else was paying attention - it sounded a bit perverted, but there was no other way.

In order to divert everyone's attention, Ella began to use "Dispel" magic on the skewers in everyone's hands, then pointed at the entrance to the underground tower and shouted.

"Ah, we're at the entrance now, let's go in quickly."

As for the fact that until the very end, everyone was still focusing on the remaining half of the skewer, leaving Ella with no choice but to eat it, it was already time to go through the adventurer procedures.

Chapter 20: Cruel Adventure

*创世纪6187年3月8日 上午09:46分 赛莫拉比城

"This place looks more like a maze..."

Walking in the dimly lit underground tower passage, Ella sighed as she observed her surroundings.

The left and right passages were not very spacious, only three meters in size at most. There were rough traces of excavation on the earth walls. They were not at the same level as the stone walls at the entrance of the Demon Labyrinth. It was a bit like the difference between militia and regular army. The Demon Labyrinth was well managed, so there was almost no sense of crisis when walking inside. However, the underground tower of Semirabi City gave people the feeling of being exposed to danger at all times, so there was the sentence above "more like a maze" - it felt like something out of an RPG game.

"It's considered passable, but with only this little preparation, what are we going to do if we encounter a monster uprising?"

Camisia looked up at the ceiling. This place was right below the square, so she could see the people coming and going above through the lattice windows installed on the ceiling. Of course, only patrolmen could walk above the lattice windows. A large number of soldiers were stationed in the inner part of the square, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter.

As for the lattice windows, in addition to providing necessary lighting, they also allow soldiers to throw weapons from above to attack monsters in an emergency. However, this method is too simple, which makes Camisia frown.

The formalities for entering the underground tower had already been completed. Since Ella, Lotte, Angeline, Lucia, and Shiz already had adventurer certificates, it was only necessary to register the remaining Iris, Camisia, and Shen Gan. Considering that if Camisia were to undergo level assessment, it would definitely make her group a Crimson Gold-level adventure group, in order to avoid attracting too much attention, Ella listed the three of them as Mithril adventurers who had just reached level 20.

Even so, it caused quite a stir in the underground tower hall. Level 20 was already considered an upper-middle level here. Normally, a team would have just one person like that to brag about, but now there were three of them at once, so the crowd began to question the authenticity of the levels. In response, Camisia simply glanced at them with a queenly gaze, and the questioners shut up in a cold sweat.

Currently, a group of eight people are operating in the underground tower under the name of the "Branch of Disaster" Adventure Group.

Lucia, who was in the center of the team, answered Camisia's concerns.

"The monsters in the upper floors of the underground tower are very low-level. They're all slimes and goblins, so even if there's a riot, it's easy to deal with."

“…Is that so?”

Despite getting the answer, Camisia still looked uneasy. In her opinion, this idea really lacked a sense of crisis. In fact, not only Camisia, but even Ella had the same idea - Lucia's statement sounded no different from raising a flag.

While thinking this, some light spots representing adventurers appeared on the "Terrain Search". Under normal circumstances, Ella would not have taken it as anything worthy of attention, but it was completely different now. When registering as an adventurer before, the staff specifically reminded her that there were people in the underground tower who made profits by attacking other adventurers. If someone was killed in the underground tower, it would be difficult to find witnesses, and the corpses that served as clues would often be eaten by monsters and difficult to preserve. Therefore, it was best to keep a certain distance when encountering adventurers in the underground tower.

While thinking this, Ella waved to the others and made a gesture to move to the side of the road. Although with the strength of her group, it should not be difficult to venture to the bottom of the tower, it would still be better to have fewer troubles.

"There's someone coming up ahead, be careful."

"Okay, Miss Ella."

After nodding in agreement to Ella, Lotte protected Lucia and Shizu, while the others stayed close to the wall with Ella, waiting for the oncoming adventurers to pass.

About three minutes later, I could hear the sound of footsteps. The pace was not very fast. Compared to the normal walking rhythm, it sounded more like someone was carrying something heavy. Not long after, a total of four adventurers appeared in my field of vision.

The clothes of these adventurers were torn into strips, and their faces looked exhausted. Almost all of them were covered in blood. The most seriously injured man had passed out and was carried on the back of another male companion. With the faint light coming through the lattice window on the ceiling, one could faintly see the man's severed right hand dripping with blood, which could not be stopped from falling to the ground even though it was wrapped in clothes.

"Well……"

The overly bloody scene made Ella swallow a mouthful of non-existent saliva.

If the scene of a hand being chopped off appeared right in front of me, I would probably spit it out immediately.

Ella was aware of this. In fact, just seeing the result made her stomach churn.

These adventurers moved towards Ella and her group with heavy steps. Just as Ella was wary of them, they were also wary of Ella. Now they no longer had enough physical strength to deal with emergencies. Although they were close to the ground, most adventurers would stop because they might be discovered by the guards, but this did not rule out the possibility of being actively attacked. Therefore, the leading man decided to stop ten meters away from Ella and her group.

"We're 'Severe Alpha'. We've run into a bit of trouble. Could you please let us through? We'll reward you later!"

"No problem, go ahead."

Restraining her inner discomfort, Ella responded that being an adventurer was indeed a very dangerous profession. At this moment, she finally had a clear understanding.

"grateful!"

After saying this, the leading man immediately waved to his companions, signaling them to follow him, and then he picked up a stone axe to be able to respond to possible attacks.

To be on the safe side, Ella deliberately glanced at Lucia beside her. Given her personality, she might run out to help others with treatment at this time. Although her motive was fine and she had no objection, she might be regarded as someone who wanted to attack them, so it would be better to stop her in time. However, looking at her current appearance, although Lucia showed an expression of reluctance, she did not make any move to help, so Ella felt relieved.

Neither side took any special action, so the meeting ended quickly - except for the last reminder from the person who seemed to be the leader.

"It's best not to go to the third underground floor right now. Undead creatures are appearing there!"

Then the two sides walked away in staggered manner.

Chapter 25 Rescue

*Genesis 6187 March 8th at 10:02 AM, Morabi City Underground Tower 3st Floor

After parting with the adventuring group calling themselves "Heavy Blow Elfa," Ella and her group walked through the corridor and arrived at the first floor of the underground tower.

The entire first floor was made up of gray-black walls and crisscrossing walkways. The widest part of these walkways was five meters, and the narrowest part could only accommodate one person in one direction. There were many spider webs in the corners of the walls, and some locations had stone steps of unknown meaning. The places that served as ventilation holes were occupied by some small monsters as nests - these small monsters were too low-level and had no place to be used, so they were left alone by passing adventurers. Dust and unexplained rustling sounds rushed towards the visitors, making people feel like they didn't want to step in.

While maintaining the light magic, Ella walked forward. Since this was an adventure, Ella did not let Camisia participate in the battle, but just let her follow the team to avoid any unexpected situations. Now Angelica and Ella are the vanguard, Iris, Lucia and Shizu are in the middle, and Luty and Fukagami are the guards.

Staring intently at the Terrain Search, Ella spoke in a heavy tone.

"Those people were seriously injured just now..."

"Well, the highest level is only level 7. Meeting an undead group would be a disaster."

Iris waved her hand, and she was responsible for clearing out all the slimes she encountered along the way. It seemed that one spell was enough to clear out a large area.

Because of Iris's magic, the low-grade magic cores left behind by the slime after its death caught Shiz's attention, even though they were all magic cores of negligible value - both in appearance and color, they looked the same as the white sugar in Ella's previous life. Of course, here it means that the magic cores are only as big as the sugar grains of white sugar, but even so, Shiz immediately ran to the place where the slime died to pick up the magic cores. This was the main source of income for her and her previous master, so this had become a subconscious habit of life.

Seeing this, Lucia immediately reached out to pull Shitz back.

"Shizu, please don't cause trouble for Miss Elelaya."

“B-but—”

"Well, Lucia, let her go. Besides, I have something else I want to ask you."

"...Since Miss Elelaya says so."

Lucia nodded reluctantly.

"Miss Elelaya, what do you want to ask?"

"Ahahaha... It's not that important. I just wanted to ask, didn't Lucia have any thoughts of healing those adventurers just now? Uh... I don't mean anything else."

"Well... because this is the Hikari Church, I can only turn a blind eye to avoid causing trouble. Also, injuries of that magnitude are beyond my ability to treat. To reattach the severed arm, unless you're a priest over level 35 who can use 'Great Healing', you'll have to use high-level magic potions. But these two conditions..."

Lucia's voice became softer and softer, until it was almost inaudible.

These two conditions are difficult for ordinary people to achieve. Of course, Ella is not within this level limit. When she was on Dragon Island before, even ordinary "primary healing techniques" could save a dying person. In addition, Dean also gave her two thousand bottles of advanced magic medicine.

“Is that so…?”

Ella looked away embarrassedly. If she had known the truth would be like this, she should have helped just now. However, since she missed it, there was nothing she could do. Ella focused her attention on "terrain search".

Adjusting the "Terrain Search" to a 3D cross-sectional view, Ella began to observe the interior of the underground tower with the Arrow of Fire. According to what the group of adventurers just said, there seemed to be many undead on the third underground floor. If that was true, it would be better for her to end her adventure today on the second floor. Although there were many ways to deal with the undead, the sight of a group of zombies and skeletons rushing up with their mouths wide open would probably give her nightmares at night or even keep her awake.

The "Terrain Search" transformed into a 3D cross-section diagram, revealing the internal structure of the underground tower. It resembled an ant nest as a whole, with the lower part becoming increasingly larger and the passageways intricately intertwined. It would be easy to get lost if you weren't an experienced user. Since the "Arrow of Fire" wasn't omnipotent, he couldn't see the bottom of the underground tower. If he switched to the Loli God or Magic Chanter form, he could probably see it easily, but there was no need to switch characters now. A preliminary estimate indicated that the entire underground tower had at least a hundred floors.

Next is the distribution of monsters. Just like the information obtained beforehand, there are only slimes and goblins above the third floor. Most of the cursors that look like adventurers are gathered together to conquer the room. The levels of the monsters here are mostly no more than level 5, and are generally only level 1-3, so it is a good opportunity for novice adventurers to practice.

In addition, some experienced adventurers can be seen moving around the 5th to 10th floors of the underground tower. The fewest are only five people, and the most are even hundreds of people. One of the hundreds of people is fighting a monster as high as level 31 in a large room. If I am not mistaken, they should be the so-called "Lords of the Layers", similar to the "Live Lords" encountered in the Holy Academy.

As for the undead that the group of adventurers had mentioned lurking on the third floor, they were also shown on the map - there were about two hundred of them, forming a white army to sweep the adventurers on the third floor. Countless adventurers were running around in the underground tower like mice being chased by a cat.

"...It feels so pitiful, I should go and help..."

"Did you find anything, Senior?"

The cat ears on the brown twintails moved. Hearing Ella's voice, Fukagan took a few steps forward and walked in front of Ella.

"Well, it looks like there are about forty adventurers in trouble. I'd like to go over and take a look if possible. I'd love to see if I can find out something from the undead."

Lucia's goal was to investigate why there were undead creatures in the underground tower, so what she said was not wrong. Although she had said before that she didn't want to have nightmares at night, there was nothing she could do about it. Besides, as long as she used the "Holy Pestle" to quickly get rid of the skeletons, maybe it would leave an impression in her subconscious that skeletons were not scary. In that case, nightmares would not happen.

Maybe I could even dream about laughing and joking with a skeleton? No, no, please forgive me for this one.

Ella immediately shook her head to get rid of the strange thoughts in her mind and coughed twice.

As if he could see what Ella was thinking, Shen Gan sighed softly.

"You, senpai, you just want to help those adventurers, right? Well, I don't care what happens to you."

"Ms. Ella, how many people are there on the other side?"

"About 200, and the average level is around level 4. Shouldn't be a very difficult problem, right?"

"If it's only level 4, why are those adventurers still having trouble?"

Ella's words made Angelini a little confused. Since Angelini had no identification skills and had no idea about the strength of the adventurers here, she naturally substituted the average level of the adventurers in the Holy Academy - at least level 7 or above.

"We'll talk about that later. Let's go help them now, or there will be casualties soon."

Waving to her companions, Ella, the vanguard, immediately rushed to the third underground floor under the guidance of the "Topography Search". She did not have the bad habit of watching others die.

Chapter 26: First Battle with the Wood-level Adventurers in the Underground Tower
