Wrong Ground, Spiral Twins

Su Mo gave the girl a thumbs up.

Mermaids do have the ability to charm, but just a smile can make him lose his mind, even if he had no defense before. Such a charming ability is undoubtedly quite exaggerated.

The mermaid girl smiled shyly.

"In addition to charm and transformation, you should also be able to use ice magic, right?"

"Yes... Water!"

Accompanied by soft singing, the mermaid girl raised her hand and a ball of water appeared in the palm of her hand.

The water ball kept changing its shape, sometimes flowing and stretching, sometimes turning into a small monster model, sometimes solidifying into ice, sometimes melting and stretching, and then condensing into an ice spear again.

Looking at this ever-changing scene, Su Mo felt it was extremely familiar.

"Super short text magic?"

"Super short essays, short essays, long essays, and super long essays are all OK, but the others are not suitable for use here."

"Is this four spells, or one spell with four effects?"

"It's the same magic."

Chanting Link——

If the wizards of Orario knew that a heretic could possess such magical skills, their jaws would probably drop in shock.

"Does Fels know?"

"I know. Firth also gave me a lot of magic books to read, but those books are so difficult to understand that I always fall asleep while reading."

"After you read it, did the words on the book disappear?"

The mermaid girl immediately understood what Su Mo meant. "A magic book! Firth did give me three of these books. After reading one of them, I learned the Mermaid Dream, which can turn my tail into two feet. But after reading the second chapter and the third book, it had no effect."

The sage was as generous as ever... Suppressing the bitterness that was rising, Su Mo asked, "My current level is LV.2. I can still deal with monsters with potential abilities at LV.3. How about you?"

"Reed said that if I were to be judged by the strength of an adventurer, I should be at level 5. But if I want to exert my full strength, I must be in a place with plenty of water. The less water there is, the greater the restrictions on me."

A LV.5 heretic who can chant Link and quickly improve his strength...

Su Mo looked at the mermaid girl in front of him, and suddenly felt that the wizard he had been dreaming of had finally been chosen.

Chapter 154: On the Art of Trafficking.

"How long can your transformation last?"

With the idea of recruiting the mermaid girl directly into the team, this point naturally becomes extremely important.

"I don't know. Mary hasn't tried it."

“There’s something wrong with my expression.”

Su Mo quickly changed the way he asked, "How long has your transformation lasted the longest? Does this magic consume a lot of energy?"

“Not that big!”

After the previous communication, the mermaid girl obviously relaxed a little. She no longer curled up and sat with her feet off the chair, swinging them unconsciously, as if she was instinctively swinging her fish tail.

"When Mary and her companions went to the deep layer, they were in the transformed state for more than three days, and they could continue to maintain it for a long time, but Mary still preferred to stay in the water."

"In other words, as long as your magic power is not exhausted, your transformation can be maintained, right?"

The mermaid girl nodded, "Yes, that's it."

There was nothing wrong with her appearance, and the demonic aura on the girl was unusually thin, so it could be completely hidden with a little covering, so there was no big problem. Even the nature of her magic was more like that of a subhuman.

Su Mo's eyes swept across the girl's beating heart.

The difference between the two magic halos on the girl's body is not that big, but if you look closely, you can see that the halo of this beating heart core is still one or two points brighter than the magic stone core.

"Although it may be a bit presumptuous to say this, I still want to ask: Miss Mary, can you join my team?"

"Join the team?"

"It means living with us and going on adventures together. Of course, you will still have a lot of free time, and we will also have plenty of time to explore the dungeon. And after you join, the magic stones you need will naturally be supplied by us."

Hearing this, the mermaid girl quickly shook her head, "No, our companions need Mary's strength."

Hearing this answer, Su Mo knew that it would be impossible to discuss this matter with the girl in front of him. But this did not prevent him from continuing to learn about the girl's living habits. If there was no chance now, it did not mean there would be no chance in the future.

The two chatted for a while and the ten minutes were up quickly.

Feeling the magical fluctuations coming from the communication bead, Su Mo stood up and opened the door.

The first thing Fels did after walking in and closing the door was to take a look at the two men's expressions.

Nothing could be seen from Su Mo's calm demeanor in every aspect, but after seeing Mali's relaxed posture, his worries were put to rest.

"It seems like you guys had a good chat."

"Ms. Mary is a very good communicator. To be honest, before I came here, I thought it might be difficult to communicate with her."

"Among all the heretics, Mary is the one who is most like us."

"Feel the same."

Su Mo nodded and sat down again with Fels. "So I just tried to invite Miss Mary to join my team, but unfortunately, I was rejected."

Fels was a little surprised. He glanced at Mary and then quickly looked away. "Are you willing to let a heretic join your family?"

"If the Lord God has no objection, I am of course 100% willing to do so. However, based on my understanding of the Lord God, it should not be a problem for Mary to pass her review."

During the thousands of years of struggle, the hatred between humans and monsters has accumulated to a stage that is difficult to resolve. However, the hatred and vision of humans cannot limit the gods.

With the mermaid girl's innocence and kindness, as well as a pure heart that far exceeds that of 99.99% of the dwarfs in the world, she is definitely one of Hestia's favorite types.

"Do you know what the consequences of doing this will be? Once discovered, the Hestia family will surely be hated by the world. Even the guild will punish you or even expel you directly."

"Then just be careful not to be discovered."

Su Mo spread his hands nonchalantly. "Even if they are discovered in the end, it will be a perfect example for the guild. Adventurers and monsters coexist hand in hand, resist monsters together, and fight against darkness together. Is there a better publicity case than this?"

Everyone in the world hates monsters, but he doesn't. Everyone in the world has the right to hate heretics, but he doesn't.

To him, heretics are just a little more weird in appearance and have a bigger difference in aesthetics compared to humans, dwarves, orcs, dwarves, Amazons, various sub-humans, and even fairies.

In a sense, this is a kind of arrogance of a time traveler.

Of course, the main reason why Su Mo could accept the heretic calmly was that the heretic would be exposed. Could he, who was half reduced to a beast, really hide the truth and never be exposed?

At least Su Mo himself doesn't have this confidence.

So, since some situations are already unavoidable, what else can't be done?

If there are too many lice, it won't itch. If you throw the jar away, you will break it. If you are in danger, you will be reborn. If you die, the birds will fly back to the sky. If you live for thousands of years, these words passed down by our ancestors still make sense.

"Are you serious?"

Su Mo had already made his attitude clear, but Fels couldn't help but speak out to confirm.

"I chose to accept Ms. Mary's help, and naturally I also chose to take the risks involved."

Su Mo's voice was still calm and frank, "I didn't mean to help Heretic. I was more out of selfish motives. You should know the current situation of our clan. If Miss Mali can join us, it will not be an exaggeration to say that it is a timely help."

"This is not what a clan leader should do! The situation of your clan is not yet to the point where this is necessary."

"There's no need to test me again and again, Firth. If you want to gain, you must pay. I understand this simple truth."

Su Mo had no intention of beating around the bush and stated his position directly, "Inviting Miss Mali to join my team is definitely not a spur of the moment decision. This is a decision I made after careful consideration in my mind."

"So, I dare not say anything about other heresies, but if it is for Miss Mary, I can tell you clearly that I don't mind bearing the cost, and I am even willing to do something groundbreaking for this."

After hearing this statement that couldn't be more clear, Fels was silent for a long time. Finally, he looked at the mermaid girl who had already opened her mouth in surprise, "This is not something I can decide."

"I know, and I don't want to force you to do anything. I just hope you can convey my words to the heretics and ask them if they are willing to take this step."

Fels nodded. "This is indeed something they can decide for themselves."

"I...I, I need to protect my companions."

The mermaid girl with potential level 5 raised a weak voice of protest.

Chapter 155: Demeter's Family.

"That's one of the reasons why you came up here."

Fels spoke to the mermaid girl and took out a thin document from the black box.

Even if the guild is safe enough, if there are no other reasons, it is definitely safer to meet in the dungeon.

"Maybe Mary doesn't know, but you should know about the recent missing persons case, right?"

Su Mo nodded in response. While listening, he picked up the document that was passed to him along the table and started to read it.

"If the people who disappeared in the dungeon are not dead, then they must have fled to the artificial maze to hide, or escaped from Orario directly through the artificial maze."

Fels explained the recent situation in Orario. "That part is actually not bad. The real key is the people who disappeared directly in the city. In particular, some powerful and influential people disappeared, causing the problem to escalate rapidly."

"The guild has now reached the point where it must give an explanation, but the reality is that it is difficult for the guild to give a clear explanation."

"Can't find any key clues?"

Su Mo immediately stopped looking at the document and looked up with some disbelief.

In Orario, entry and exit are strictly controlled. If something like this happens, and there are many missing people, if even the guild can't find the key information, then the problem is really huge.

"No! The clues are clear. We have roughly figured out the situation two days ago."

"Then why...?"

"Because now all the clues and evidence point to the Demeter family."

"..."

It turned out that the person was actually related to Demeter's family. At that moment, Su Mo almost couldn't control his expression.

The Demeter clan may not be very powerful, but their influence is unquestionable. This can be seen from the fact that they are a production clan, but are rated as 'C' by the guild.

Under the leadership of the Goddess of Harvest, the Demeter family, who are determined to eliminate hunger in the world, have been working towards their goal. Not only in Orario, but also around the world, this family is highly respected and even revered.

Currently, most of Orario's food supply comes from this clan.

It can be said that Orario can do without Loki's family, but it absolutely cannot do without Demeter's family. The faction of this good god is undoubtedly an indispensable pillar of Orario.

Without the existence of this benevolent god's followers, even if Orario does not collapse directly, it will inevitably face large-scale famine.

"unambiguous evidence?"

"She is one of the few main gods who can freely enter and leave Orario. She is also the only one whose vehicles are not inspected by Demeter's family. The chain of evidence is very complete. We have completely confirmed that both the heretic before and the people who disappeared now were taken away by these vehicles."

Su Mo thought quickly in his mind, but his body couldn't help but lean back, "If they are all members of the dark faction, I think it is a miracle among miracles that Orario has not been destroyed until now... It is completely unreasonable."

The most fundamental pillars have turned evil. This is something that can only happen if Orario has become corrupt.

"We think so too. Uranus believes that this is not just someone trying to distract us and cause chaos in Orario, but the person behind the scenes even wants to directly shake the foundation of Orario."

Su Mo also understood the difficulties of the guild.

Give an explanation?

What explanation do you have?

This matter cannot be brought to light. Once it is brought to light, Orario will definitely become even more chaotic.

Moreover, Demeter's family cannot fall, at least not in a short period of time. If the guild wants to stabilize the situation, the most important thing to do now is to thoroughly investigate the situation and find a way to pull Demeter's family out of the quagmire.

At least on the surface, they must not have anything to do with the dark factions.

"What about that goddess? Has the guild had any contact with her?"

"That's the difficulty. The goddess's attitude seems to have completely acquiesced to this."

"!"

Being slandered is nothing, but if the person being slandered is ready to plead guilty, that would be terrible.

"How are you going to solve it?"

"There is no other way. No matter what we do, we must first find out why the goddess did this. So now, both openly and secretly, God Hermes has been investigating this matter recently."
