A Mistaken Encounter: The Hero of the World

"I will accept the punishment..." The male god Njord had accepted his fate and lowered his head in disappointment.

"Hehe~" Loki snorted twice, and squinted his eyes at Tione who was standing beside him. "We have finished investigating the outsiders... Tione, you acted without notifying everyone, which caused a lot of trouble for the clan."

Tione nodded upon hearing this, "I was wrong."

Dawn broke in the eastern sky, red clouds scorched the sky, and the surface of the lake became sparkling with golden light.

"Thank you, Tiona. Thank you, Captain, and thank you everyone - thank you so much!"

The lines of Tione's cheeks softened, and her lips opened.

Just as the sun breaks at dawn -

He smiled brilliantly.

Chapter 149: Jiali takes the blame [Subscribe]

【Adventurer's Guild】

In the huge dim underground space, the ancient stone carvings are full of the weight of history.

The red flames of two rows of torches pushed away the surrounding darkness, symmetrically extending to the front of the huge throne. The great god Uranus opened his pale blue eyes and glanced to the side and back of the platform.

"Fels, what's going on?"

"I went to Melen to investigate. Now under the control of the Loki Familia, the situation has been completely brought under control. Just as the Loki Familia reported, the mayor of Melen and the top leaders of the Adventurer's Guild branch were involved in the smuggling and the Piranha Plant monster incidents."

"In addition, the good god Njord also participated in planning the Piranha Plant Monster. Although his starting point was to help fishermen eliminate other monsters to stabilize fish production, he did participate in and help smuggling at the port."

"Oh?"

"The smuggling is controlled by the Ishtar Familia. We have not yet found out what items are being smuggled. Getting on and off the ship and entering and leaving the labyrinth city are all managed by members of the Ishtar Familia. The Kali Familia were invited by Ishtar, and their attack on the Loki Familia was more like an accident that happened on impulse."

"...Hmm." Uranus murmured, his tall figure disappearing into the darkness. He opened his blue eyes that looked like the sky, "If the truth is announced..."

"If the truth is announced, the reputation of the Adventurer's Guild will be destroyed because the guild branch is also involved. Mellen's smuggling will also bring doubts to the port's cargo transportation. All the fishermen in Orario have received help from Njord, so it will have an impact on the port's transportation and fisheries. In addition, Ishtar also has a lot of information about the guild. If the truth is announced, it will cause huge losses to the [Ishtar Family]. There is no guarantee that she will not want to drag the guild down with her..."

"Then let's just announce the truth and put all the blame on the [Gali Clan]." Uranus made the decision.

"it is good."

Therefore, the Adventurer's Guild posted a new notice:

In view of the fact that the main god of the [Gali Clan] outside the city, Gali, did not abide by the safety rules of Orario and arbitrarily launched an attack on the [Loki Clan], causing turmoil inside and outside the city, the Adventurer's Guild has decided to revoke Gali's right to enter Orario, expel him immediately, and not allow him to set foot near it again.

The Guild confirmed that a witness saw a man-eating plant monster appearing by the water. The news was true and the monster had been killed by the [Loki Family]. The Guild investigated and found that the monster was an accidental incident.

Please don't spread rumors, don't spread rumors, and don't believe rumors! Let's work together to maintain the harmony and stability of Orario!

----------

Governor Mellen, Loki received the guild notice sent by an owl and couldn't help showing a look of disgust.

"What's wrong? What's that expression?" Livilia asked curiously.

"You'll know when you read it yourself." Loki handed over the guild's announcement.

Livilia quickly glanced through it and handed it to Finn. But the dwarf Grace had no interest in reading it. He waved his hand and asked, "Just tell me what it says."

"You crude dwarf, after being in the Familia for so long, you must have learned how to read documents, right?"

"Hmph, arrogant elf, you can tell me if you want to. I don't care if you tell me. Hey, Finn, what does it say?"

"..."

Because the situation had been completely under control and the port had resumed seeing pedestrians coming and going and goods being loaded and unloaded, Finn and the other two also returned to their usual state of getting along with each other where they disliked each other.

Loki crossed his arms in front of him and watched Livilia and Grace bickering again with a smile.

Finn also finished reading the notice and explained it to Grace with a smile. Grace glanced at Livilia and then said with a smile, "It seems that Jiali has taken the blame for Ishtar this time."

"It's just like what we guessed at the beginning." Finn laughed helplessly.

"Ishtar escaped." Loki narrowed his eyes and snorted heavily in dissatisfaction. "Although that brat Jiali refused to say it, she should have been invited here on Ishtar's behalf to deal with that nymphomaniac."

"Goddess Freya?"

"Well, Ishtar has always disliked that nymphomaniac, so he must be targeting her. The kid said that Ishtar has prepared a secret weapon."

"Well... I think I heard Aisi say that the one who attacked her was the leader of the Ishtar Familia. That Phryne was supposed to be level 5, but she was able to suppress Aisi during the battle."

"Well, how about we call Ais and Serven over to ask them? Where are they now?" Loki asked.

"Serven seems to be very interested in Leviathan. He should be diving to see the "Sea Dragon Seal." Finn said.

At this moment, Serven had indeed dived to the bottom of the lake. On the way, a mutant giant fish tried to attack him, but was knocked unconscious by two bangs from him.

The remains of the ocean overlord Leviathan were sealed in a huge white stone.

The pitch-black corpse was broken and missing many parts, but it still exuded the power to drive away other monsters.

An indescribable sense of solemnity enveloped the surroundings. The final destination of such a huge life was to curl up in such a small white box lid. Even the most extraordinary monster died at the hands of adventurers.

Serven's whole body was lifted by the water. He stretched out his right hand towards the dark skeleton and pointed his index finger at Leviathan's skull.

Suddenly, Serven heard a light laugh in his ear——

His eyes traveled through countless floors in an instant, and he saw an ocean with many icebergs floating on it. A huge sea dragon suddenly popped its head out from under the water, its golden eyes opened, and it looked towards him.

In a large desert similar to the 49th floor, an extremely huge monster turned its head and looked at Serven. Its tail was as straight as a cedar, its muscles were as strong as stone, and its exoskeleton was as hard as copper and iron. Its blood-red eyes locked onto Serven in an instant.

In the center of the canyon surrounded by countless tall trees, the pitch-black dragon could only see its huge head. One of its eyes had a deep sword scar and could not be opened. The other opened golden eye was fixed on Serven. Another layer of transparent nictitating membrane rose above the golden eye, and the pupil was instantly filled with scarlet, as if it was annoyed by the ant's peeping -

Serven retracted his gaze and found himself still at the bottom of the lake, with his index finger resting on Leviathan's skull. He glanced at the faint light in the dim water and swam quickly towards the surface.

Although he didn't know why he saw these scenes just now, Serven had a hunch that these three monsters were real.

They are all obstacles that you must overcome!

Serven emerged from the water, still clearly recalling the terrifying aura of the last black dragon that swallowed up the mountains and rivers and dominated the world. Aisi was squatting on the shore waiting patiently. When she heard the sound of the water stirring, she immediately looked over in surprise and stood up.

Serven smiled at Ai Si, walked to Ai Si's side, and saw Ai Si handing him the towel, "Ah, thank you."

As Ai Si watched Serven wipe her hair, she said, "Loki just came to see us."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

The two chatted as they walked towards the lounge of the male god Njord, which had now been forcibly requisitioned by Loki. The male god Njord was a prisoner himself, so his objection was ineffective.

"By the way, Aisi, can you swim?"

"...No." The blond swordsman lowered his head in frustration.

"Then I'll practice more with you when I have time."

"Serven, what did you find?"

"Well, think about it, didn't Leviathan come out of the underground city?"

"——I suspect there should be another one on the lower floors."

Ais looked at him in surprise, but seeing that Serven looked very confident, she nodded heavily and agreed.

149.5 Preview of the Heroic Flame

Somewhere outside of Orario.

The handsome orange-haired man is having a secret conversation with a beautiful blonde goddess——

"...Oh, I see. I see. It seems you think highly of Bell Crane."

Aphrodite folded her arms in front of her, looked at Hermes in front of her, and smiled confidently.

Hermes laughed foolishly twice.

"There's no point in playing dumb. It's too obvious from the way you talk about it. But you seem to be deliberately not touching on the most crucial points, such as who raised you."

"Ahahaha... Actually, the adventurer from his hometown is even more powerful. [Transcendence] or [Odyssey], you should have heard of his name, right?"

"Hmm. Didn't he save Artemis once in the Great Sea of ​​Trees?"

"Ah, you are indeed the goddess of beauty. You even know this..."

"Don't change the subject. I always feel that you are more optimistic about Bell Crane. How about using "Charm" to make you confess everything?"

Hermes broke out in a cold sweat. "... This, this is not necessary. We have been friends in heaven for such a long time..."

"Forget it." Aphrodite's words made Hermes on the other side breathe a sigh of relief. "I already have a grasp of this generation's hero candidates. From now on, I will act according to my own ideas."

A family member trotted over and said, "Sorry to have kept you waiting! We have completed the preparations! We can set off at any time - Lady Aphrodite!"

"Okay. Then, let's go. To Olympia!"

"--good!"

Hermes looked at the ship setting sail and shook his head, "...Really. The Goddess of Love is always like a storm."

"The Eternal Divine Realm Olympia... the time for the out-of-control [Heavenly Fire] to be paid off is approaching."

"——The times are about to change!" He looked at the blue sky and sea in the distance, and his mood became particularly high.

Chapter 150 Elf Poster Girl [Subscribe]

"Nani?!"

Loki stood up from his seat uncontrollably.

Finn, Livilia and Grace on the side also looked surprised, but not as excited as Loki.

"That guy Ishtar actually has a warlock who can greatly enhance his combat capabilities, and she's a very cute little fox girl?!" Loki couldn't help but walked in front of Serven.

Serven nodded, "Yeah, I saw her, she's really cute."

"Fox girl...fox ears, big furry tail..." Loki showed an expression of great longing.

"Yeah!" Serven nodded frantically.

Ais glanced at Serven from the side, and Livilia held her forehead helplessly. As expected, she heard Loki say -

"Yoshi, Mama-san, we have decided to snatch that fox girl away from us!"

Livilia stood up and said, "Loki! The battle in Meren has just ended. Are you sure you want to go to war with the Ishtar Familia?"

Finn also spoke up, "Loki, I also think that now is not the time to go to war with other clans. Our last expedition ended not long ago, and the clan still has a heavy debt to repay. We also have to start preparing for the next expedition, and there are also the remnants of the dark faction..."

Finn only listed a few items, and Loki had to hold his head down, "Okay, okay, we got it. Now we won't rob you, okay—"

As she spoke, her expression became serious. She opened her narrowed eyes, and her scarlet pupils were particularly determined. "But our clan must get this secret weapon."

Several people, including Serven and Ais, nodded in unison.

"Let's not talk about anything else. Just based on what Serven said just now, when he touched the "Sea Dragon Seal" underwater, he saw that Leviathan is not something we can deal with right now."

"But with the help of that warlock—" Finn added.

"Our expedition will be able to reach deeper depths, and we will have a better chance of winning against monsters like Leviathan," Livilia said.

"Then let Serven monitor the fox girl." Loki said, "This is a good job, Serven~."

"Well, leave it to me!" Serven slapped his chest loudly.

Aisi gave him an elbow, and Serven pretended to be in pain, screaming and bending over, causing Loki and Grace to laugh at the same time.

------------

A sunny afternoon in front of a bookstore in Orario.

As Serven walked out of the bookstore with a few books in his arms, he was stopped by a voice.

"Mr. Adonis."

"Ah... Miss Liu, long time no see." Serven smiled at the elf lady, "Are you wearing a uniform outside?"

"Well, I just came out to buy food for the tavern." Liu's eyes swept over Serven's ordinary casual clothes without any equipment. "It seems that there was an emergency in the [Loki Familia] a few days ago. Are you okay?"

"Yes, they were attacked by the foreign [Gali Familia]. They are quite powerful." Serven straightened his chest and motioned Liu to look at the book in front of him, "The Old Man and the Sea, have you read it?"

"No." Liu reached out and took a book in front of Serven, and found that there was an identical book underneath. He asked in confusion, "Why did you buy so many of the same book?"

Then she saw the author's name on the cover and looked over in surprise, "Is this Mr. Adonis' new work?"

Serven smiled and nodded, "Well, the author also needs to get subscriptions for himself to increase his sales."
