Zongman, the journey begins from the wrong place

But the merchants didn't care about that. They only knew that the guild's monopoly on the magic stone trade was hindering the continued growth of their wealth.

So after the Zeus and Hera families were defeated and the power of the guild declined, the merchants began their own plans.

As for the possibility that the destruction of the city guild would cause the dungeon monsters to break free from the constraints of the Tower of Babel, or even the return of the one-eyed black dragon in the future, causing the world to return to the monster era thousands of years ago, it had nothing to do with them.

After seven years of fighting against the dark faction, someone in the Orario Guild must have figured this out.

But this kid has only been in the city for a few days, and he has already thought of this?

Awesome! If I had this guy as my teammate, I wouldn't have to worry about outmaneuvering that sinister Finn.

Thinking of this, Valetta's mood became even happier! She even wanted to laugh out loud!

12 Valletta: I finally felt moved

"And your method of attacking Orario isn't hard to guess. After all, it's almost impossible for you to defeat the guild and other clans head-on, hiding here and there like rats all day long. However, this city has its own weaknesses - besides being completely dependent on the outside world for food, there's the dungeon!"

As Valetta watched with interest, Noah stepped on the bluestone floor.

"This boundless treasure trove that created the Labyrinth City's prosperity is itself a massive bomb. If it were detonated, Orario would naturally be destroyed. As for Mars, he's the Kamuy that caused the riot in the dungeon a few days ago, right?"

After he finished speaking, the alley fell into silence, with only the gentle sound of the wind blowing and the hustle and bustle of the citizens in the distance blending together.

After a long moment, Valetta slowly clapped her hands, with admiration in her eyes.

"Good, good. You've only been here a few days, but you've already seen the situation clearly. I don't know how long it's been since someone as outstanding and intelligent as you appeared in Orario."

In fact, what Noah said was not some earth-shattering secret.

On the contrary, given enough time, a considerable number of people will be able to understand the situation and key points of Orario.

After all, there are not many smart people in this world, but there are always some.

When a person thinks he has come up with a brilliant idea that no one else in the world has thought of, there are definitely more than ten or even hundreds of people who have had the same idea as him.

There must be his own reasons why this idea was not implemented.

Destroying Orario by detonating the dungeon was a plan that was implemented hundreds of years ago when the Dark Faction was born.

But the question is, how to do it?

Under the guard of Zeus's and Hera's families, a large number of people who are more monstrous than monsters, if you want to break into the dungeon, you must at least attract the peerless monsters below the 70th floor of the dungeon, otherwise you will be destroyed halfway.

If the dark faction had the ability to enter the dungeon below the 70th floor, it wouldn't be so troublesome.

Even today, when Orario has declined to the point where there is only one level 6 and less than ten level 5 adventurers, it is still necessary to attract monsters from at least the th or th floor to be safe.

But for the dark faction, this is still as difficult as climbing to heaven, because even if they gather all their fighting forces, they can only go deep into the area of about 40 floors of the dungeon.

Although breaking through the Tower of Babel is not difficult, the key is how to prevent being stopped by the adventurers of Orario in the process.

Therefore, all problems actually return to the essence, which is power.

How could there be so many ingenious strategies in this world?

What determines the final outcome of an event, and even the fate of the world, is always the balance of power between the two sides.

But this does not mean that the silver-haired boy in front of him is not outstanding.

After all, people who can see through the essence of things at a glance and people who take decades to see through, or even never see through the essence of things in their entire lives, are destined to have completely different fates.

For example, today there are still a large number of low-level members in the dark faction who still believe that as long as Freya and Loki's family are defeated, Orario can be destroyed.

This is probably why they were at the bottom of Orario society before joining the Dark Faction, and why they can only serve as cannon fodder now.

"My name is, Valetta Grede, what's yours?"

After searching the name in his mind, Noah remembered that he had seen the other party's portrait in front of the guild notice in front of the Goblin Library.

However, it was just a fleeting glimpse when passing by, and the portrait had been exposed to wind, sun and time, and had long been blurred, so Noah did not think of it when he saw it.

Level 5, seems to be a dangerous person, I don’t know if I can defeat him.

But it’s also good, this way I can better see what position my strength can occupy in this world.

Moreover, if Valetta's head is taken, it will definitely attract the attention of the gods of Orario.

At that time, the situation will change from me wanting to find a top clan to join to me being able to choose from among the major clans.

It was worth it that I acted for so long on an empty stomach.

"Noah, Noah Sifel."

"Noah-kun! We all have the same goal and the same enemy. Let's work together!"

Valetta held out her hand to Noah.

If other people saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked.

The murderous emperor was actually preparing to shake hands with others.

"Let's destroy Orario completely in the darkness!"

Facing the hand extended by Valetta, Noah didn't even move his feet, but instead raised his chin in disdain.

"Just you guys, a bunch of guys who were beaten by the guild and are running around with bugs, are going to cooperate with me?"

In response to Noah's contemptuous look, Valetta grinned with an indifferent look on her face.

The more capable a person is, the worse his temper is. She was prepared for this.

After all, there are a lot of people in the Dark Faction and Orario who are incompetent and have bad tempers.

In order to find a highly intelligent teammate who could act as an external brain, so that he could free himself from the day-to-day thinking and kill happily, Valetta felt that this temper was completely tolerable.

"Noah-kun, you came to Orario not just to mock us or just for sightseeing, right? Let me guess, you also want, or should I say, your mission is to destroy Orario, right?"

As if his secrets had been spoken, Noah's expression became even colder, and he stared at Valetta with eyes as sharp as knives.

"What exactly do you want to say?"

Feeling that she had hit the nail on the head, Valetta's smile widened as she slowly walked towards him.

"I just want to say, if the Lord God knew that you could have destroyed Orario faster by cooperating with us, but you wasted the opportunity because of your own anger? And even allowed these people in Orario to survive longer, what would he think?"

Standing in front of Noah, who frowned and seemed to be in deep thought, Valetta tilted her head and spoke softly.

"Hey, Noah-kun, you don't want to disappoint your lord, do you?"

Noah suddenly looked up and glared at Valetta with gritted teeth.

"Are you threatening me?! Do you think I will submit to a heretic like you?"

Valetta held up a finger and slowly waved it in front of Noah's face.

"No, no, no, I'm not threatening you, and I don't want you to surrender. I'm simply stating a fact—cooperating with us to destroy Orario doesn't conflict with your goal of eradicating heretics. After all, what's easier than standing behind someone and stabbing them in the back?"

Valetta reached out to Noah again.

"The best way to eliminate us heretics is to destroy us and Orario together, right? This will surely impress your Lord God!"

Valetta doesn't need teammates who can trust her with life and death and are close to her. As long as she can destroy Orario and kill Finn, that despicable guy, she doesn't care about her own death.

Noah realized once again that the people of the dark faction were a bunch of lunatics.

People are always bound by their own desires. The more desires they have, the more powerless they feel.

Conversely, the fewer desires one has, the stronger one becomes.

Even an ordinary mortal can unleash amazing power if he gives up everything, including his life.

Noah didn't know whether the other people in the dark faction were like this, but Valetta in front of him was definitely like this.

Fortunately, Noah is also such a person.

So he stretched out his hands with an unwilling look on his face.

"Hmph! In that case, just wait for me—"

Valetta smiled as she shook hands, but the next second, the sound of a sword being unsheathed echoed in the alley.

13 True·Keeping a Hand

The next second after hearing the sound of a sharp metal blade being unsheathed, Valetta, who was originally smiling, suddenly changed color.

But her right hand was clasped with Noah's, so she couldn't pull it out for a moment, so she could only stretch out her left hand with lightning speed!

Valetta slowly lowered her head and saw that Noah had a dagger in his other hand, pressing it against her abdomen.

It was just a little bit away from tearing through the clothes and piercing the vital parts.

If I hadn't held the other person's arm, there would definitely be blood today.

"What do you want to do?"

Valetta raised her eyes coldly and met Noah's deep gaze.

Although he didn't open his mouth, his cold eyes almost made everything clear.

Then, in just a second, Valetta understood everything and her eyes widened in disbelief.

"You're not one of us at all!"

why?

Why does this happen?

For the first time, I found a teammate with brains, and for the first time, I no longer have to worry about stupid teammates.

These two wonderful things intertwined together should have allowed me to let go of my burdens and enjoy the joy of killing without restraint!

But why did it become like this?!

I finally got moved!

But you made me lose so completely!

Blanch!

Thinking back to her sincere invitation just now, Valetta laughed angrily out of anger at being deceived.

There should be nothing else hung on the flag of Loki's family, just hang itself!

It’s still colorful!

In order to redeem herself from the humiliation of being made a fool of, Valetta forced a smile on her face, of course, the kind that showed her fangs and was bloodthirsty and ferocious.

"What a shame! You underestimated the strength of level 5!"

As if unaware of the strong murderous aura emanating from Valetta, Noah nodded in agreement.

"Yes, the strength of a level 5 is still stronger than I imagined. If I don't give it my all, I'm afraid I really can't be your opponent... Fortunately, I have a trick up my sleeve."

Ok?

Noah's calm and relaxed sigh made Valetta feel inexplicably uneasy.

"Keeping a hand? What?"

"Of course it's this hand!"

Before Valetta's wide-open eyes, a third hand appeared in the tiny gap between her and Noah, waving at her in greeting!

how can that be!

Valetta could clearly feel that her right hand was holding Noah's right hand, and her left hand was holding down his left arm!

Could it be that!

Valetta exerted a little force with her right hand, and the "right hand" in her palm shattered into flying cotton scraps.
