Wrong Ground, Spiral Twins

Suddenly, Hestia sensed something and stood up from her seat.

"Debbie, I'm going to check out the warehouse in the back."

"Go ahead." Hestia trotted into the warehouse, and the next moment, there was another person beside her.

"Why did you come back at this time? Where are Bell and the others? Are they okay?"

After closing the warehouse door, the goddess asked a series of questions.

"We are all fine. I came back for another matter..."

Then, Su Mo recounted what happened today, and also explained in detail the artificial maze and the actions of all parties.

After hearing the details of the incident, Hestia thought for a long time. "To be honest, I don't want you to get involved in this kind of thing. I'm worried every day just because you go to the dungeon. It's too early for you to fight against the dark faction."

"..."

Su Mo opened his mouth to speak, but his mouth was blocked by an index finger.

"But I also know that your choice is the right one. The Guild would not care about us for no reason. Since Loki's family has already found the gate, the dark faction will definitely pay attention to you. It's just a matter of time at most... In the final analysis, the ones who are really wrong are those guys who are looking for trouble."

Thinking of those guys who were so shameless as to not show up, Hestia's voice suddenly became gnashed teeth.

"So, I just want to confirm one thing now - Su, are you really sure?"

Su Mo raised his hand and pointed at his left eye. "This eye can not only improve my capacity, but also instantly recover all injuries and all states. I plan to take this opportunity to ask the guild for magic stone compensation in advance to activate this ability, but I'm not sure if this is a bit risky."

When a secret is known by three people, it is no longer a secret.

Su Mo naturally understood this principle. Fels could be trusted, but it was not absolute after all, and there were gods behind him.

But he also knew that as the amount of magic stones he needed increased, the secret of his need for magic stones would be difficult to hide from everyone, and the first to be affected would naturally be the guild that strictly controlled the magic stones.

Those who treat others as fools are the real fools.

"Uranus..."

Hestia raised her hand and touched Su Mo's left eye. "This is indeed an opportunity. We have already made our position clear. Uranus dares to raise private soldiers. I think he will not make things difficult for you. You can go ahead and do it."

"Ok!"

Su Mo nodded. "With the protection of Loki's family and this heavy insurance, as long as the dark faction does not have the strength to wipe out Loki's family, I will be able to withdraw from the artificial maze. Bell, Lililuka and the others will also be with the people of Loki's family in the next few days. Their safety is at least guaranteed. Only you, Lord God..."

"They don't dare to attack me. This is not the era when the dark gods are rampant."

The goddess' voice was extremely stern.

"Even so, I still want to ask Miss Liu to protect you secretly, at least for the next few days."

"That elf lady?"

"Hayate-Leon, this is her former identity."

Hestia's eyes widened immediately. "The Avenger wanted by the guild? She is actually in Orario. Is the guild turning a blind eye?"

"I'm afraid it's not just the guild that turned a blind eye. Continuously causing massacres in Orario is indeed a serious crime, but there are still people who remember the achievements of Astraea's family, and they all know what she is doing."

"In that case, yes, if the elf lady is willing to go to the trouble."

Su Mo smiled, a somewhat bitter smile, "Only in this matter, I am confident that I can convince her."

"Feeling a little ashamed?"

"I feel like I've been taking advantage of her kindness and integrity, and now I'm taking advantage of her hatred."

"I know that only when you let go of your worries can you really do your own things, so I won't refuse this arrangement."

As she spoke, Hestia cupped Su Mo's cheeks with both hands, "Besides, Su can actually do this for me. To be honest, I'm actually a little happy."

She knew that his attitude towards the elf lady who had saved her was different in all aspects, but the current facts had directly shown one thing - that was that her position in his heart was definitely higher than that of the elf lady.

Absolute victory!

Su Mo raised his hands and clenched his hands on his cheeks, then took them off. "Go to bed early today, and remember not to sleep too deeply after midnight."

"Don't worry, we are staying in the guild area now... Well, now it seems that choosing temporary shelter yesterday was a great decision."

Seeing Hestia's smile, Su Mo couldn't help but smile a little.

"Is there anything else you need to tell me?"

"You must come back safely, absolutely!"

A faint smile suddenly spread out, Su Mo smiled and nodded solemnly, "Yes! I will definitely come back, absolutely!"

……——……

After leaving Hestia Kitchenware Store, Su Mo soon met Fels in a secret underground passage.

"I didn't expect that after searching for so long, the first key I found was you."

Even though he has lived for nearly a thousand years, Fels still has to sigh at the wonders of life.

"I didn't expect it myself. To be honest, my reaction was not even as fast as yours."

Before being approached by Loki's followers, he had never thought that there would come a day when he would be used as a key to open doors for others.

“We are also a little slow to react.”

Loki's family just said that they found the entrance gate, but on the same day, a power that can make metal break on its own appeared, and it happened in full view of everyone.

"It was the God Loki who met with Uranus and finally agreed on the plan."

"Aren't you afraid that I will refuse?"

"Both gods think you won't say no."

"God's vision!"

Su Mo sighed softly.

Once, twice, and several times, the feeling of being completely seen through by God is still a little difficult to adapt to.

"Is there anything you need my help with during this return?"

"Although it's a bit redundant to say this, I still want to ask you a question now."

Su Mo collected his thoughts and looked straight at the face that was hidden by the cloak and even his eyes could not see.

"Can I trust you, Fels?"

123

Chapter 123 The other side of the elves.

The warehouse door was slowly opened.

Fels led Su Mo inside. At a glance, in addition to the full cargo boxes, there were also various, seemingly abandoned magic stone lamps placed randomly everywhere.

"This was originally a transit warehouse for storing magic stone lamps, but in the past year, some people in the guild have also used it to transport other things."

Fels led Su Mo to a pile of cargo boxes that were four or five meters high. He reached out and pushed away the boxes in the front. Then he used all his strength to cut open the boxes inside one by one.

"Crash..."

The items in the cargo box quickly slid out.

That is the magic stone.

To be more precise, it is the magic stone fragments that are only produced in the upper layer.

But even if it was just magic stone fragments, the number of them, piled up four or five meters high and filling up half of the warehouse, was absolutely astonishing.

"There are people in the guild who are secretly selling magic stone fragments?"

"People who are blinded by greed, there will always be such people in any era... Is this enough?"

“I don’t know, but you’ll know if you try.”

Su Mo took off his gloves in front of Fels and pressed one hand into the piles of magic stones.

The next moment, many magic stone fragments quickly turned into black and purple ashes right in front of Fels.

"It's not swallowing it, but directly absorbing the power of the magic stone!"

This is really because I have lived long enough to see everything.

"I don't mind swallowing the magic stone directly, but unfortunately, I don't have a matching digestive system after all."

"But this is far more amazing than swallowing the magic stone."

"Will it be okay if I take these?"

Su Mo asked as he continued to absorb the power from the magic stone.

"The owner of this place will be arrested by the Guild tomorrow morning, and his wealth is enough to compensate for these losses."

"What was it originally?"

"That's not the case. A god discovered that a new type of monster had appeared in another place in the outside world. It looked exactly like the Piranha Plant that appeared in the sewers of Orario. This batch of magic stones was originally sent there."

"Without these, the clues will be broken."

"The clues are roughly clear. We left them here just to avoid alerting the enemy, but now, there is no need for that."

Su Mo understood.

Tonight it’s not about alerting the enemy, but about dropping bombs directly into the enemy’s lair.

With such a loud thunder, the enemy knew everything they should and shouldn’t know.

He stretched out his hand and brushed across, and all the magic stone fragments he touched turned into ashes. This was a very fast and direct absorption, but at this moment, Su Mo felt for the first time that this absorption method was still a bit slow.

There are simply too many magic stone fragments here.

In the end, with Fels controlling the wind to blow away the broken pieces of the wooden box and the ashes, Su Mo fiddled with it for nearly ten minutes before he finally destroyed all the "stolen goods".

Looking at the mountain of magic stone fragments being absorbed by him, Su Mo felt that it still had not reached the critical point of "overflowing". He knew very clearly that the magic stone energy required for this "upgrade" had indeed increased.

"We're still a little short. Maybe another three or four thousand magic stone fragments will be enough."

After two personal experiences, he has made some progress, at least his control over the "critical point" has become more and more precise.

"Then let's go to the next one."

"besides?"

Su Mo was a little shocked. Has the guild become corrupt to this extent?

"If the people at the top are greedy, how can the people working below not have some ulterior motives?"

There was a hint of helplessness in Fels's voice. After all, those who were about to be dealt with were his colleagues.

If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked...

Following Fels to another place, Su Mo quickly gathered what he needed, and after reaching the "critical point", he quickly stopped absorbing.

"enough?"

"enough."

After having a great time inhaling it for the first time, Su Mo still felt reluctant to let go of the magic stone fragments.

However, this greed was quickly suppressed. If one wanted to have a long-term cooperation, the right thing to do was to get paid according to the effort, not to mention an advance payment.

"Then let's go, don't reveal our tracks."

Su Mo nodded, and then used the cloak to hide his tracks.

……——……

It was 3:30 in the afternoon, when every tavern was making final preparations for the evening, and the 'Hostes of Fertility' was no exception.

The knife in Liu's hand flew, and in almost the blink of an eye, he peeled a potato with movements that ordinary people could not see clearly.

Before the potato on this side was put into the water, the next potato had already been taken in the hand, and the knife continued to fly, but suddenly, the knife in the elf girl's hand flew out in an instant and nailed straight into the wall, with the tail end constantly shaking.

The next moment, a person quickly appeared next to the knife.

"Can we chat for a moment, Ms. Liu?"

The person who was supposed to lead the team to explore the middle level appeared here in such a sneaky way. Liu just hesitated for a moment, wiped his hands, and walked towards him.

When she came closer, the knife on the wall had already been pulled out by Su Mo and returned to its original owner.

Liu took the knife and sensed the lingering smell of blood on the other person. He suddenly had a bad feeling, "You came to me like this, is there something urgent?"
