I'm tied to Athena.

"Li Yun, if you are free tomorrow, can you come to the Loki clan? Since you want to help, we have to ask your opinion about the expedition." Finn ignored the fallen main god and extended an invitation to Li Yun.

For this brave man who is determined to revive the dwarf race, nothing is more important than the expedition.

As for the Lord God? Let's put that aside for now.

"can."

After getting Li Yun's consent, the Loki clan cheered again. They thought the expedition would take a long time, but they didn't expect to meet such a rich man at the banquet...

In fact, Ai Si, Diona and the others really wanted to know who Li Yun's client was, so that they could maybe make some extra money. But it was against the rules to disclose the client's information, so they just kept it to themselves and didn't ask.

After the banquet, everyone went back to their homes and their mothers. The next morning, after Li Yun finished training Bell, he came to the Loki clan headquarters alone.

Everyone in Loki's family was already familiar with Li Yun, so they didn't stop him and let him in directly.

"Ah, Li Yun." Inside the captain's office, the three great men of the Loki clan were already waiting for him. Li Yun sat opposite them, but he was not too nervous.

"This is the key to the goblin warehouse in the East District. The gold, silver and jewelry inside are enough for you to prepare all your supplies." He took out the key and handed it to Finn.

Finn nodded and took it. "Thank you. With this funding, we can start preparing."

"Regarding the preparations for the expedition, do you want to try to handle it? Instead of asking you what you think, it would be better to let you participate directly." Finn's expression became a little happy, like... a weird uncle who trafficked little girls with lollipops.

"I always feel like you want to trick me." Li Yun looked at Finn warily, as he seemed to be acting a little strange, and did not agree rashly.

"Nothing, I just invited you to help with the expedition. When you try to go on an expedition alone in the future, you will know what to prepare."

"Come to think of it... Then I can... help you?"

"If you come to help us, we will be much more relaxed." Finn curled the corners of his mouth after getting Li Yun's accurate answer. It was different from his usual gentle smile. He always felt that he had some conspiracy.

So in the next few days, Li Yun often went to Loki's clan to discuss the expedition with Finn and others.

For example, the newly appeared Goliath, the Lord of the 17th Floor, was thrown to the Loki clan who were preparing for the expedition by all the adventurers; for example, the Fire Spirit Cloth and Water Spirit Cloth used to guard against the fire monsters and water monsters in the lower floor could not be gathered in sufficient quantity; for example, the intelligence gathering work was not going smoothly...

Intelligence is very important for expeditions. For example, whether there is any conflict with other factions' floor plans, how many floors have floor masters, whether there are any monsters in the dungeon rioting...

In order to conduct an expedition efficiently, collecting intelligence beforehand is an important task that must not be neglected.

This is a task as important as preparing supplies.

In the Loki clan, this work is done by members below the cadre level. Some of them go to the dungeon to conduct surveys, and some go to the guild headquarters to collect intelligence.

However, when exploring the dungeon, some members saw Ota wandering around on the seventeenth floor.

As the leader of Freya's family and the representative of the old enemy that competes with Loki's family, this member of the group must not be kept in the dark, and he immediately reported it to Finn after returning.

Regarding the matter of Ota, Li Yun and the other three got together to discuss what to do. After a heated discussion, everyone unanimously decided to ignore this guy.

Let’s not talk about whether what Ota did on the 17th floor had anything to do with them. Even if it did, could he come here alone?

Unless he called over the rest of Freya's group, they would not be a match for Finn and the others.

But once they did so, it would be an open war, and the whole of Orario would be in turmoil. They didn't think Ota would have the courage to go to war with Loki's family without Freya's authorization.

With the efforts of Li Yun and Finn, the materials and intelligence needed for the expedition were gradually prepared. It would be completed in about ten days.

PS: I finally finished the exam. I was so exhausted these past two days.

Chapter 85 This is a good teammate

However, after dealing with affairs for a few days, Li Yun realized that the bastard Finn asked him for help just to reduce the burden on himself.

Preparing for an expedition is not a simple matter. If you want to put it in other words, the clan is equivalent to a company, the main god is the person who established the company, and the team leader is the chairman of the board of directors. Although specific matters are handled by the members below, the team leader is still in charge of the overall situation.

The larger the clan, the more things that need to be dealt with. Li Yun, a 20-year-old young man who has never come into contact with these things, finds it really difficult to cope with the huge workload of Loki's clan... Fortunately, he is the only one in his clan, and the expedition does not require such troublesome preparations.

"Li Yunjun looks very tired." The familiar aroma of coffee and the gentle smile that heals people's hearts came over with the girl's voice, "Is it because of the expedition?"

"Well, this is the first time I'm dealing with these things, and I'm a little...uncomfortable." Li Yun lay in front of the bar, like a salted fish.

"Jun Li Yun has a very troublesome aura about him." Hill chuckled, with a hint of cunning in his silver eyes.

"I don't deny that... If I could, I'd like to be a 50-year-old man and retire now."

“Why not just be a young person who can play around?”

"It's too much trouble." Li Yun took a sip of coffee and continued, "Besides, I have already seen almost all the scenery on the way to Orario."

"Then... Li Yunjun, do you want to go shopping with me in Orario?" Hill invited, "Li Yunjun, you haven't had a good look around Orario yet, right?"

"Although you have a general understanding of the terrain, there are many attractive places in Orario that you haven't discovered yet."

"The expedition is almost done. We are close to Yun Jun and we don't have to go down to the underground city, so we should have plenty of time."

"That's true..." Li Yun stroked his chin, "If you have nothing to do, it's a bit boring to be alone... Orario is not bad."

"Then..." Hill's eyes showed joy. Just as he was about to say that it was decided, the fairy girl with yellow-green hair came over and said, "Hill, do you want to skip work again?"

"Huh?" Looking at his friend who was exposing his scars, Hill was anxious, "Ryu, what are you talking about..."

"Didn't you abandon your work and go out to play on the day of the Monster Festival?"

“Eh…!?” When Xi’er saw the look in Li Yun’s eyes, which showed that Xi’er was this kind of person, her face turned red and she called out shyly, “Liu!”

"You were detained because you went out without your wallet. If someone hadn't recognized you and asked us to redeem you, you wouldn't know what happened to you now." However, Liu didn't pay attention to Hill's pleading look and continued speaking.

Please show mercy, Liu! My image in front of Li Yunjun is about to be ruined!

"Come to think of it, are you going to prepare your own lunch this time when you go out?" Liu broke Hill's last insistence.

In fact, Hill has been practicing cooking recently. When the store is not busy or when he is taking a break, he will practice hard.

Maybe in order to make Li Yun think that she was the kind of mature and reliable girl who was mature beyond her years, she wanted to make some fashionable and exquisite dishes, but ended up losing her way and making dishes that were beyond words.

Liu, Chloe, and Anya all persuaded the girl, saying that Li Yun's cooking skills were better than hers, and that she didn't need to practice cooking so hard - because there would be no chance for her to perform, that was probably what they meant.

But this inspired the girl's fighting spirit.

"I...I will try harder, you all have to help me!"

Then, the girl was on the road to hell and never returned.

"Woo woo..." Watching his best friend reveal all his embarrassing stories, Hill lost his dream and turned gray, squatting in the corner and drawing circles.

"Um... Miss Liu... didn't you say too much?" Li Yun didn't know what expression to use to face the girl who had lost her dreams. In fact, if Liu didn't say it, he really thought that Hill knew everything.

"No." The fairy girl denied decisively and looked at Li Yun, "Only by saying this will you pay more attention to her."

"This child is unattended. It won't work."

"So, I'll leave her to you."

Liu, I love you!

After hearing the fairy girl's words, Hill was resurrected with full health. That's great, you still love me, Liu!

"Don't worry, I will bring the child back to you safely." Li Yun couldn't help but laugh. He thought Liu didn't intend to let Hill go.

"But what about work?" He glanced around and saw that Chloe and the others were working hard. If Hill ran away...would his salary be deducted?

"There's not much work during the day, so we can do it, as long as you can come back at night." The rich mistress is most popular at night, and no one will complain as long as she comes back at night.

"Then please give me your guidance today, Hill."

"Yes, Li Yunjun."

Leaving the bountiful hostess, Hill, with a lovely smile on her face, took him for a stroll in Orario.

Although he lives here, he doesn't know many things.

A strange fortune-telling stall in a back alley, a small flower shop run by demi-human girls without a family, a potato ball shop in an unexpected place...

Li Yun looked around at the street corner scenery and felt deeply that he knew nothing about Orario.

The maze city is huge, with many area divisions within the huge city walls, from industrial areas to downtown areas, from leisure areas to night light areas.

All in all, Li Yun had been in Orario for less than two months, and he had spent one month in the dungeon. There must be many sights he had not seen.

Just like now, there are many new discoveries just by walking on the street.

Strange people, strange places, strange smells. The feeling of being lost two months ago has almost disappeared, and now he is a man who is determined to move forward.

Of course, he needs to take a break along the way. Today, let him enjoy this holiday with some excitement.

Looking at the girls beside him who were as happy as he was, Li Yun thought of Athena and Ai Lei, and decided to take them out for a walk alone some other day.

Maybe it was a bit inappropriate to bring Li Yun out to play while wearing his employee uniform, so Hill changed his clothes.

The clean white dress and straw hat, this cool early summer style outfit makes Hill look fresh and cute

PS: Well, there aren't many people who backstab the author. The lurking readers are really steady. But the author is satisfied. Now there are 845 votes (laughs)

Chapter 86: Meet the parents?

"Come to think of it, I still don't know where Hill lives." When Li Yun was in contact with the girls, he learned from Chloe and the others that Hill didn't always live in the store. Well... probably a semi-residential type.

Even Liu didn't know where she lived.

When he learned about this, he was very surprised, after all, Hill was always the first one to arrive at the store to work.

"Hey, Li Yunjun, do you want to know?" Hill was a little surprised.

"If you feel embarrassed, you don't have to say anything. However, Chloe and the others seem to care a lot, and they are trying to find a way to catch you." Thinking of the two cat girls in the store, Li Yun couldn't help but smile.

"Well, I don't live outside every day." Hill walked quickly to Li Yun, looking at him seriously with his silver eyes. "If Li Yun wants to know, it's okay to tell you. But, Li Yun, you can't feel sorry for those children."

"Poor...children?" Li Yun was a little confused by the inexplicable words, but the girl's serious look made Li Yun nod, indicating that he understood.

Next, Hill took Li Yun across West Street and walked towards East Street.

After entering East Street, I turned a few corners and stood in front of the entrance to Daedalus Street.

Hill walked in without hesitation, and Li Yun followed her slowly.

On this dark, complicated, narrow path where the sun never shines, the light of an old magic stone lamp is on. The two of them are walking here, surrounded by street dwellers who are not dressed neatly.

Under normal circumstances, if you are not a local resident and enter Daedalus Street, you will definitely be confused by the complex environment here, but Hill seems to treat this place as his own backyard, and he drives around in the complex road.

This kid must come here often....

He heard that there were some lawless adventurers in this slum, and the public security was the worst in the entire city.

It would be very dangerous for a girl who is not an adventurer to walk around here alone, but... glancing behind her, Li Yun felt relieved. With such an adventurer protecting her, nothing would go wrong.

Yes, Li Yun had noticed it a long time ago. There was a LV6 wild cat... No, it was a domestic cat now, a LV6 domestic cat protecting this lovely girl.

After walking back and forth for several routes, Hill and Li Yun stopped outside a church.

This is a large wooden church. It may have been beautiful in the past, but now it is very dilapidated, just like the church where Hestia lives now.

"This is it, Li Yunjun." Hill opened the door and walked into the church. Li Yun followed him in with a hint of doubt.

"This is an orphanage." Hill explained as they walked, "In the labyrinth city of Orario, there are countless children born between adventurers."

"These children are not necessarily the fruit of a love relationship between two people. Sometimes they are just the result of a moment of indulgence, or those people in the red-light district... by accident... In short, there are women who accidentally get pregnant for various reasons."

"And adventurers who go into the dungeon often die young, leaving behind these women and children."

"Some of those who are unable to obtain support from the adventurer's clan, or mothers who have abandoned their children, will abandon their babies in this slum, Daedalus Street."

".....Is that so? The darkness in Orario is not limited to the dark faction...No, should we say that every world has such darkness?" Li Yun fell silent.

“But the children here are having a great time living with Ms. Maria.”

Ms. Maria is the director of this orphanage and the mother of the children here.

"It's Sister Hill." Not long after the two entered the church, children came out from behind the church door. There were goblins, humans, orcs, and all kinds of children could be found.

"Sister Hill is here." The children surrounded Hill and jumped for joy.

"Is Hill here?" A middle-aged woman came out from behind the children. She looked at Hill among the children and smiled with some surprise. "Why are you free to come today?"

"Ah, Sister Hill also brought a big brother here." Suddenly, a boy said loudly.

"Really? Is it the adventurer brother?" The children immediately put Hill down and surrounded Li Yun.

These children don’t seem to be shy. They dared to hug Li Yun and even climbed on top of Li Yun when they met for the first time... Are all the children here so bold?

"Okay, okay, come down quickly and don't cause trouble for Li Yunjun." Hill put her hands on her hips and taught the children like an older sister.

"Wow! Sister Hill is angry, everyone run." Seeing Hill like this, someone took the lead in shouting, and then the children got off Li Yun one after another and ran out.
