Wrong Ground, Spiral Twins

Page 14

Without any hesitation, Su Mo swung his left arm to sweep away the little devil that was approaching him, and ran away without stopping.

One orc plus a group of imps, or two orcs are still within the challenge range. If you go further without using life-saving items such as the magic sword, it would almost be suicide.

"...!"

However, after running less than two hundred meters, Su Mo saw an adventurer who had the same experience as him.

The two men, unable to see each other's faces clearly, looked at each other from a distance at a distance of about 20 meters, and then looked at the monster behind each other from a distance. Without any hesitation, the two men subconsciously made the same action and changed direction to escape.

The two people who were fleeing were also consciously approaching each other. After a while, Su Mo could not help but be a little surprised when he saw each other's appearance through the fog.

Red hair, big sword... Looking at the figure gradually approaching, Su Mo sincerely felt a kind of coincidence.

When I set out, I met a 'supporter', and on the tenth floor I even met a 'blacksmith'.

They didn't know how far they ran until they could no longer see the monster behind them. Then they stopped, panting heavily.

The orcs ran slowly, and although the little devils were fast, their physical strength was obviously insufficient. It was worth celebrating that the tenth floor at least did not push people into a desperate situation.

"Of the Hephaestus Familia..."

"You are also alone..."

The two people who slowed down their breathing spoke almost at the same time, and then stopped at the same time.

But sometimes, even half a sentence is enough to express your intention.

"Hestia Familia, Su Mo, let's form a team?"

Judging from the current situation, if you don't want to waste too much time on "escaping", forming a team is a good choice.

Looking at the sword in Su Mo's hand, Welf was stunned for a moment before he reacted, "Hestia, is that the goddess who stayed in our clan's residence for three months?"

It seems that the goddess' reputation has already spread widely among the Hephaestus clan... Su Mo nodded.

Seeing this, Welf couldn't help but let down his guard. "I am indeed a member of the Hephaestus family. You can call me Welf. It's just right for us to meet under such circumstances. The difficulty of the tenth floor is much higher than that of the ninth floor. It's simply hellish to attack it alone."

The two people who had the same experience quickly reached an agreement to form a team.

With an extra helper, there is no need to run away too much when fighting monsters. Even if you encounter two orcs and a group of imps, you can face them head-on.

It can be seen that Welf's many attribute ability values have reached 'D', but his combat skills are not very good, and his aggressive fighting style is a bit disadvantageous when encountering orcs.

But overall, his strength is indeed stronger than his.

But Welf didn't think so. The two of them fought the orcs at the same time, but he was obviously much slower in defeating the orcs.

"Before the Hestia Familia, which Familia did you stay in?"

Hearing this, Su Mo, who maintained his rational state, collected the magic stone and replied: "Hestia's family is my first family."

"what……?"

Welf was not sure when Goddess Hestia left the Hephaestus clan's residence, but it was definitely no more than a month.

A new adventurer reached the tenth floor alone within a month?

Noticing Welf's confusion, Su Mo added, "My ability attributes are still at the 'F' stage. I was able to get here mainly because of the power of this sword."

"I know that sword is quite powerful, but it's definitely not this strong."

Identifying the power of a weapon is a basic quality of a blacksmith. After several battles, Welf was able to roughly determine the texture and sharpness of the sword. The other party was able to come here alone, and it was definitely not just the sword in his hand that he relied on.

"You, seem to be very calm all the time?" Recalling the details, Welf finally found the clue.

Whether being chased by monsters or fighting, the opponent's eyes seemed to have not changed at all.

"If you are alone and can't even stay calm, you will die in the dungeon sooner or later." Su Mo answered, and then deliberately changed the subject, "What about you? Why are you alone? The Hephaestus family should have no shortage of companions, right?"

"I don't really want to air my dirty laundry in public... but I really can't stand those guys. As soon as we arrived at the dungeon, they singled me out. Can you believe it?"

"It is mediocrity not to be envied."

Hearing this, Welf couldn't help but burst out laughing. "That's right, if you're not envied, you're a mediocre person! Su Mo, team up with me until we level up?"

“Are you doing this to develop your abilities?”

Welf nodded. "Development ability - forging. For a blacksmith, the difference between having this development ability and not having it is quite big."

He believed that his forging ability was no worse than that of other people in the clan, but the weapons he forged could never be engraved with the mark of 'Ηφαιστο?' and could not really be put on the shelves.

The main reason for this is that he has not completed the upgrade and lacks the development ability of "forging". He is unable to further strengthen the weapons during forging, and is unable to give the weapons special attributes such as absorption, swiftness, steel breaking, and indestructibility.

It can be said that it is already remarkable that a weapon forged by a blacksmith who does not have the ability to develop "forging" can reach the third-level standard of the Hephaestus family.

He has already come very close to this standard, which is why he believes in himself that as long as he can upgrade, he will definitely have the ability to develop "forging".

"I have reached the upgrade standard. What I lack now is the experience of the superiors. I should have followed them to the middle level today, but I really didn't expect those people to do this."

Without having to say what he had done, Su Mo could feel that the other party must have suffered some degree of humiliation and blow, otherwise he would not have felt so self-destructive at this moment.

"I will continue to challenge you. If you are willing, then let's go together."

"Great."

It’s been two days since the signing, but the trial launch is still nowhere in sight…

Chapter 24: Magic Stone Hunter

Welf was quite excited at one point, but when he returned to the surface at eight o'clock in the evening, there was no excitement on his face at all.

——The Calm Madman——

This is Welf's most profound impression of his temporary teammate.

Fight, fight, fight continuously, either in battle or preparing for battle, all actions are carried out with the purpose of "fighting".

But he still maintained an extremely clear mind. Even if he encountered an unexpected situation like the "Monster Banquet", he could lead him out of the siege in the first time. When he encountered an unbeatable situation, he ran faster than anyone else.

He is not nervous, afraid, or panicky, and is not afraid of pain. He can always turn danger into safety at the critical moment. When he is in combat mode, he is as cold as the sword in his hand.

"Will you continue tomorrow?"

"I usually come here around 10:30 in the afternoon."

Welf nodded, "I'll be there on time."

Although he is a battle maniac, it is unexpectedly safe to partner with such a person in the dungeon.

Washing, exchanging money, dividing money, treatment... Because it was impossible to absorb magic stones secretly by himself, Su Mo kept chopping at the magic stones today. Welf, who was obviously not short of money, did the same. The final result was that today's income dropped significantly.

If it weren't for the obvious improvement in killing monsters efficiency after the two of them teamed up and a lot of materials dropped, you can believe that they almost spent more than they earned.

Walking out of the guild gate, the half-elf consultant who failed to leave work on time was posting notices.

At first, Su Mo just greeted politely and didn't take it seriously, but when he saw the notice posted under the magic stone lamp, he suddenly froze in place.

The notice that had just been posted showed a human-like figure with features of multiple monsters.

In his right hand was a pale bone sword, in his left hand was a sharp dragon claw, with dragon wings spread out behind him. His face was obscured by a bone mask extending from his head, with the right half of his face covered diagonally. There was a hole in the mask for the right eye, but only a black hole could be seen, with no eye visible at all.

The lower body was not depicted, but for Su Mo, it was completely unnecessary. He didn't even need to read the description below. With just one glance, he knew that the monster drawn in the notice was another "himself".

"what happened?"

Noticing Su Mo's abnormality, Welf also looked at the notice. "Magic Stone Hunter... An enhanced species that will hunt down adventurer teams with magic stones... There are actually such monsters in the deep layer. I have never heard of them! Is this considered an abnormal situation?"

“It’s just an abnormal situation.”

Seizing the opportunity, the half-elf consultant gave a lecture to Su Mo and the others while answering.

"There are always all kinds of unexpected situations in the dungeon, not only in the deep layers, but also in the upper layers recently, there are often abnormal situations..."

……——……

After encountering bad news at the guild gate, Su Mo heard good news when he returned to the inn.

"I have already chosen the base for my clan. Do you want to go take a look together tomorrow?"

"Let's go buy it together. I trust your vision."

Hearing this, Hestia's smile suddenly became brighter, "In this case, we can probably move tomorrow."

"The other party will move out tomorrow?"

"Yes! Yes! The seller is quite sincere. He said that if we buy the house, he will not only move out immediately, but also leave the daily necessities in the house to us."

"So good? There won't be any weird things, right?"

"Hehe~ Of course, this is the treatment that only God Friends can get."

"Goddess Hephaestus?"

"It's Demeter!"

"Goddess of the Harvest, no wonder!"

Su Mo didn't know much about the god Demeter, but he knew something about the Demeter family that brought him out of the dungeon.

The Demeter family is a commercial faction family that focuses on cultivating and selling various staple foods such as cereals and potatoes, as well as vegetables and fruits. The kind goddess of harvest and her family bring food and clothing to the underworld day after day and dispel hunger. Over the past thousand years, the grace they have spread has spread to every corner of the world.

This clan may not be strong, but they are extremely respected, and the goddess Demeter is known as the "embodiment of kindness".

As a commercial family at the top of Orario, the Demeter Family has a vast farmland on the outskirts of the labyrinth city.

It is said that 70% of the fruits and vegetables in Orario come from the Demeter family, and as for seeds, there is no need to say more. Those plants and fruits that are native to the underground city and have high nutritional value or other benefits, and the varieties that have been improved by the Demeter family, have always been a hot-selling product in Orario.

The Demeter family even has a privilege that many families do not have, which is the ability to enter and exit Orila freely.

The labyrinth city - Orila, where many adventurers who have been trained in dungeon trials and are considered the strongest in the world gather, and the city of Orila is more like a 'manhole cover'. Although there is no mandatory contract, as the center of the world, 'Oulara' does have the responsibility to guard this 'hole' that once spread disasters.

Therefore, in order to prevent the loss of high-end combat power, the higher the level of the adventurer, the stricter the guild's review of their entry and exit applications. In addition, with the control of magic stones to prevent the smuggling of various precious items that only exist in the dungeon, there are even fewer adventurers who can enter and exit Aurora at will.

Under such circumstances, the Demeter family, which has many breeding farms outside the city and often needs to travel to various countries to promote better varieties of vegetables and fruits, has become one of the few exceptions.

In this underworld, this goddess who is truly loved by the world, her face is probably far more useful than any of the most powerful clans.

"Since we're buying a house tomorrow, we need to pack our things today."

"Is there anything else we need to pack?"

These words caused Hestia to fall silent.

She thought about it carefully and realized that apart from a few sets of clothes, there seemed to be nothing else she could take.

"Sure enough, having a home is the real beginning!"

"Are you finally moving out, Hestia?"

The person who spoke was the female store manager who served "dinner" to Su Mo.

After living here for so long, Su Mo's relationship with the female store manager was just average, but Hestia had obviously become completely familiar with her.

I have to say that our goddess has a physique that allows her to be loved by older people wherever she goes.

"Yes! Thank you for your care for so long, Jasmine. We will prepare to buy a house tomorrow."

"Has the house been decided? Where is the location?"

"It's on Northwest Street..."

As the topic unfolded, Su Mo listened to the two people's continuous conversation while eating dinner in silence.
