I'm tied to Athena.

"An equivalent exchange of information... huh?" Athena pondered the possibility of this matter, but soon she smiled, "I agree. Tell me your commission."

The sun gradually set. Li Yun looked at Bell, who was too tired to get up, and touched his chin. "I thought it would not be finished today."

Running around Orario is not a simple training. During the training, Bell fell down several times. Li Yun used potions to recover his injuries and let him rest. As a result, the child stubbornly kept running.

With his willpower, he literally ran a circle around Orario.

"With such perseverance, how could he fail..." Li Yun carried Bell, who was unable to get up again, on his back and sent him back to the basement of the church. On the way back, he also packed two dinners for the child.

"I'm back." After sending Bell back, Li Yun returned home, but as soon as he returned, he received a commissioned task.

"Go to the eighteenth floor to pick up someone?" Sitting on the sofa, Li Yun was a little confused.

"The quest issued by the guild is said to be about a child from a certain clan." Athena crossed her arms, "This matter may be related to those strange monsters in the dungeon."

"Based on the information you brought back yesterday, we can roughly conclude that the dark faction is divided into two parts. One part is inside Orario, plotting to destroy Orario, while the other part is hiding in the dungeon, using the dungeon's natural advantages to breed monsters."

"So, the so-called dark faction plans to breed monsters in the dungeon, then transport the monsters to Orario, and finally use the monsters to destroy Orario, right?" Li Yun shook his head in boredom, "Those guys really have nothing to do after eating."

"It doesn't seem to matter if we don't care about this matter, but if the other party really succeeds, it will have a great impact on us. Besides, establishing a good relationship with the guild is also a good choice."

"The most important thing is that by learning more information during the mission, we can obtain more intelligence from the guild in disguise." Li Yun took over Athena's words and gave her a somewhat smug expression.

"Yes, this is also my plan. If it were you, you would definitely be able to do it." Athena also smiled, and their dark pupils looked at each other. The tacit understanding between the two seemed to be getting better and better.

"You've said so, how can you say no?" Li Yun touched his chin, "Did the other party say when to go?"

"tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? That's fine. I'll get up early tomorrow and go there after I finish training Bell. I'll come back as soon as possible, but if it's too late, you don't have to wait for me in the evening. You can eat first."

"Yes. I'll leave it to you tomorrow."

"....." Ai Lei sat here and felt like a magic stone lamp hanging on the wall, emitting three thousand watts of light... These two guys don't need me at all.

Ereshkigal, the goddess of the underworld, felt that she was the one being abandoned.

We agreed to be together as a group of three, why don't I have a name?

Chapter 62 Murder Case

The sky was dark. The night in the east had not yet ushered in the dawn, and the boundary between night and morning was ambiguous.

Li Yun opened the curtains, looked at the clock which pointed to five o'clock, washed his face and brushed his teeth, then took some time to prepare breakfast for the two goddesses. He left a note telling them that the breakfast was kept warm in the pot, and then went out.

The cool night air cleared his head a little, and then he followed the alley to the church where Bell was.

After spending some time waking Bell up, the two of them came to the city wall again.

It was still yesterday's training. Maybe it was because Bale was not used to getting up so early, so he seemed listless at the beginning of the training, even more tired than yesterday.

It took some time for Bell to fully wake up and try to follow Li Yun's training rhythm.

The eastern sky turned pale, the gentle sun rose from the horizon, and the darkness was dispelled in an instant.

The first people to feel this gentle light were the two young men on the city wall.

"Bell, let's stop here for today's training." Looking at Bell who was gasping for breath on his knees, Li Yun nodded with satisfaction. This kid should have updated his ability value yesterday, otherwise, he would have collapsed by now.

Especially the speed, which is about one third faster than yesterday... It's worthy of being a rabbit, it runs fast.

At this rate, Li Yun might be able to teach him combat techniques in advance.

"Eh? Mr. Li Yun, I can still continue." Feeling in good shape, Bell intended to continue training, but was stopped by Li Yun.

"Bell, I spent a day training with you yesterday just to see how far you can go. Normally, I can only spend some time with you in the morning. After all, you still have the Lord God to take care of. If you don't go down to the dungeon, you will have no money to eat."

"That... is true, Mr. Li Yun." Bell touched his head awkwardly and grinned foolishly.

"Wait for me here at five o'clock every day. I will try my best to let you retain some energy to go to the dungeon." Li Yun patted his head, "Okay, let's go, I'm going to the dungeon too."

"Mr. Li Yun, are you going to the underground city too?"

"I have to support my family, too."

The black-haired boy and the white-haired boy smiled at each other, and then the two of them came to the entrance of the dungeon together.

"Let's separate here, Bell, do your best." In order to let Bell fight alone, Li Yun did not intend to go in with him. It would be best to separate here and go their own way.

"Ok!"

Looking at the back of the black-haired boy leaving, Bell clenched his fists tightly, "Mr. Li Yun, I will definitely catch up with you! I will definitely become a hero like you!"

After Li Yun entered the dungeon, he went straight to the eighteenth floor.

The mission this time was to pick up a person and protect that person back to the ground. And the person he had to protect was a dog-man girl named Luluni Louis from the Hermise family. The guild didn't tell him more details, but it didn't matter, he could investigate it himself.

Moreover, from this incident, Li Yun and the others also got a new piece of information, that is, Hermes knew something.

This god of merchants and thieves has a dirty deal with the guild that is unknown to the public.

Soon, Li Yun arrived at the eighteenth floor. This time was just right. The white crystal block in the center and the surrounding blue crystals were emitting a gentle light. If it were on the ground, it would be around ten o'clock.

Without any intention of staying here to enjoy the scenery, Li Yun went straight towards Rivera Town.

Rivera Town is a dungeon inn town run by high-level adventurers who have reached the middle level.

This town originated from the guild. It was a large-scale base planned in the dungeon by the guild in the past in order to more effectively develop unreached floors.

However, due to the intermittent invasions from monsters on other floors, a large number of people were needed to protect the town, and it eventually failed due to excessive expenses.

However, at that time, a group of adventurers took over without permission and built the place, which eventually became the current town of Rivera.

As for the number 334 written on the doorplate of Rivera Town, it is the number of times Rivera Town has been rebuilt from the beginning to the present. The current town can be said to be the 334th Rivera Town.

In other words, this place has been destroyed 333 times.

The safe floors are not absolutely safe. Just like the 50th floor, Li Yun and his team were also hit hard by monsters.

This is an underground city after all, and no one can predict when a sudden abnormal situation will occur.

In fact, whenever an abnormal situation occurs, the adventurers here will definitely abandon the town and return to the surface.

Only after the storm is over will they come back here to rebuild the town.

In other words, this town actually symbolizes the tenacious character of greedy adventurers. Some people call it the most beautiful rogue town in the world with contempt and surprise.

But having said that, it was destroyed 333 times...this number is really impressive.

The town is located on the eastern side of the island in the lake, on top of a 200-meter-high cliff, surrounded by walls made of crystal and rock terrain.

Li Yun passed through the archway and entered the town. However, as soon as he entered, he felt something was wrong... There was a heavy atmosphere in the air.

problem occurs!

Although this dungeon town is not always crowded with people, there must be a lot of adventurers coming here, so it is definitely bustling. But now, it is so quiet that it is deserted.

Through the skill of Earth's Favor, Li Yun found a place where many adventurers gathered, and then walked towards there.

All the adventurers were crowded in front of a cave. Li Yun came to the cave and met Finn and others whom he had not seen for a few days.

"Finn?" Li Yun asked in surprise.

"Li Yun?" Finn turned around and saw the black-haired boy in black clothes. He was slightly stunned, then smiled. "I didn't expect to see you here. I haven't seen you for a while."

"Well, I haven't seen you for a while. What happened?" Li Yun asked, pointing inside.

"We don't know much about it either, but we heard that there was a murder here."

"Murder case?" Li Yun was shocked and thought to himself, "There is indeed something wrong with this commission."

"Do you know who the deceased is?"

"Even if you ask... we just got here and were planning to rest, but this happened." Finn was a little helpless.

PS: Okay, good night everyone.

Chapter 63: Leaked Intelligence

"Let's go and check out the situation." Li Yun rubbed his head in distress, then squeezed in with Finn and the others.

Entering from the cave entrance, the group came to the deepest room. Then, they saw... a room stained red with blood, and a headless corpse lying miserably on the ground.

"The rest of you stay outside and don't watch." Li Yun frowned and waved his hand to stop Lefiya and the others behind him.

The body was headless.

His neck exploded like a bomb, and his head seemed to be ruthlessly trampled by something, turning into a pair of meat pastes, with light red flesh and brain matter floating in the sea of ​​blood.

"Li Yun is right, you guys wait outside." Finn glanced at the girls, then stepped into the room with Li Yun.

Most of the things in the room were splattered with blood; the dried red liquid could be seen on the wood baskets, small shelves, and beds.

"Hey, Perth. Sorry to bother you." Finn said to the man who was currently in the room in a familiar tone.

Perce Elder. A man with a black eye mask and a ferocious face. He is a high-ranking adventurer who runs a purchasing station in Rivera Town and is also the real boss of this town.

In this rogue town built without a governing body, sheer force equals status. In other words, Perth is the strongest person in this town.

Because he was the strongest in town, all the high-ranking faction leaders and members who came here to rest knew him. Even Ota was the same.

Finn was communicating with Perth, while Li Yun was quietly looking around.

Judging from the blood in the room, the man on the ground must have been killed by squeezing, otherwise the blood would not have splattered so far.

Moreover, judging from the thick blood stains on the wall, the deceased was killed by the wall...that is, on the bed.

He was dragged out of bed only after he was dead, but...why did the murderer crush his head into a pulp?

"Li Yun." While Li Yun was analyzing the case, Finn also got the information he wanted.

He said goodbye to Perth and then left the cave with his group.

"The deceased was a member of Ganesha's clan, LV4. He came last night, and there was a woman with him. But that woman is missing. If there are no other possibilities, it must be that woman who killed him." Finn let out a breath.

"No one saw the murderer leave, which means the murderer is still in the town."

In conclusion, a murderer stronger than LV4 is hiding here, which is really difficult for Finn and his friends to deal with. They plan to stay here overnight.

"I looked around the room. The deceased's backpack was opened and everything inside was taken out. The woman must be looking for something. Judging from the messy appearance of the backpack, she didn't get what she wanted, so she stayed here." Li Yun rubbed his head. "My skills can only observe the terrain, not find people... It's a bit troublesome."

"Come to think of it, why are you here, Liyun?" Dione was a little surprised. "We are here to help find the murderer because we are going to stay here overnight... You don't want to stay here overnight, do you?"

"Because I accepted a commission from a guild, this matter may be related to my commission." Li Yun spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Is that so... I thought you were going to adventure to the lower level too." Diona sighed.

"Speaking of which, we also found a guild commission on the corpse, asking us to go to the 30th floor to collect something. But because it was stained with blood, we are not sure what exactly was collected." Finn suddenly remembered that he had also seen a guild commission.

"The thirtieth floor..." Li Yun sorted out the case. In other words, the guild initially commissioned the deceased to collect things, and then handed them over to the members of the Hermes clan on the eighteenth floor to ensure their safety.

But the mission seemed to have been leaked by someone. Upon learning of this, the guild immediately entrusted Li Yun to provide escort.

Just looking at the situation, he was also a step slower.

Then, Finn and his team planned to investigate everyone in the town. In simple terms, they would gather all the adventurers together and search them.

The murderer is still here, and this method is the simplest and quickest. Although it may make people unhappy, the adventurers who are only at LV2 and LV3 are obviously more afraid of the adventurer who is stronger than LV4 and hiding in the dark, so they can only nod in agreement.

Li Yun did not participate, he stood on a house, watching the situation in the Crystal Square. He was a line of defense to prevent the murderer from escaping suddenly and being unable to stop him.

The Crystal Plaza was noisy and bustling, with panic and resentment on everyone's face.

Li Yun held his chin and looked around casually, when suddenly he noticed a dog-man girl carrying a medium-sized bag.

The dog-girl standing alone in the noisy crowd looked particularly conspicuous. Her eyes, staring at the Crystal Square, revealed an expression of fear, and her wheat-colored skin was as pale as a patient out of fear.

She stepped back in fear, then... took advantage of the chaos in the square and ran away...

"It hurts..." She bumped into someone who was as hard as a rock. She was knocked to the ground without paying attention.

"I found you." The black-haired boy looked at the dog-man girl lying on the ground, and raised the corners of his mouth. "My luck is pretty good."

"You...who are you?" The dog girl's ears twitched, and fear surged up from the soles of her feet. She now felt cold all over and couldn't even speak.

"Get up first." Li Yun squatted down and stretched out his hand. "You must be Luluni Louis. My name is Li Yun, and I'm the person the guild has entrusted to pick you up."

Hearing the word "guild", the dog girl's eyes widened. That gentle smile was like a spring breeze, slowly calming her nervous and frightened heart. However, she was still a little wary, "Are you...really sent by the guild?"

"This is not the place to talk. Come with me." Li Yun reached out and pulled the girl up.
