A Mistaken Encounter: The Hero of the World

"Yes," Bell answered happily, grinning from ear to ear.

But soon he stopped laughing.

"By the way, Hephaestus, we have such a good relationship, can you give me a friendship price?"

"Two hundred million."

"Eh?!!"

The rabbit actually let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

----------

After returning to the [Dusk Mansion], Aisi immediately walked over, locked her eyes on Serven, and smiled.

"Welcome back."

Serven's eyes lit up, and he tried hard to suppress the upward curve of his mouth. "Ais, it's better to add a title when you say this."

"Serven, welcome back?" Ai Si repeated uncertainly.

"Don't call me by my name. It's better to call me by another name."

"Another name?"

“Stop——!!!” Loki intervened forcefully.

"Don't teach our baby Ai Si bad things!" Loki slapped Serven in frustration and looked at Ai Si in a flattering manner, "Ai Si, ignore him, he will learn bad things!"

Ais took a step back silently and looked at the dagger in Serven's hand with some curiosity.

"I customized a short sword that can be used as your backup weapon."

Aisi's eyes retreated to the front of her feet, "God Gubernew lent me a sword today."

Although a sword with the indestructible attribute is said to be indestructible, its sharpness and power will still decrease if it is used excessively.

[Sword of Despair] During the last expedition, the blade had deteriorated quite badly and it would take a long time to repair, so the God Gubernyu simply lent her a spare rapier.

Serven glanced at the extra rapier on Aisi's waist, "I see. Although this one of mine is not really a rapier, do you want to take a look?"

Loki's attention also shifted to the black dagger in Serven's hand, and he frowned.

Ais took the sword and stared at the weapon - it seemed as if it had never met its owner and was still sleeping. The sword exuded this aura.

Ais pulled the long sword out of the scabbard, and the sharp black blade showed a slightly transparent texture. Sword Princess gently tossed the short sword, "It's a bit heavy."

“Very tough.”

The sword would withstand her hurricane force winds well—she had a gut feeling about it.

"As long as you like it." Serven said with a smile, "If you want it, just take it."

"What is the name of this sword?" Ais put the dagger into the scabbard and handed it back to Serven.

"【Sword of the Night Sky】. Don't you want it?"

Aisi looked at the sword at her waist, "Serven doesn't have a backup weapon."

Serven laughed in silence and did not go into detail to explain the problem of his Armament Haki.

Loki frowned and spoke, "Serven, is there something wrong with the material of this sword?"

"It's Andaris' tail hook."

Loki nodded, "No wonder I feel like my divine power is being restrained."

"Oh, this characteristic is actually retained?" Serven looked at Loki with some amusement, "Loki, you better behave yourself in front of me from now on."

"What?! How dare you to commit treason against the Lord God?" Loki exploded, even forgetting his verbal quirks, and pounced directly at Serven with his fangs and claws bared.

Serven dodged casually and let Loki fall to the ground with a thud.

"Let's go back." Serven retracted the dagger and naturally took Ais's hand.

....... 0 0

"Ah."

Loki's eyes were bloodshot and he cried out in pain - "No -!"

----------

"Mr. Bell!" The voice of a girl full of energy.

Bell ran to the door of the tavern with a blush on his face and took today's lunch box from the gray-haired hostess.

When he was hurt, only this girl stood by him - even his gentle advisor sister Aegina directly rejected him between Serven Adonis and him.

"Sword Princess is a first-level adventurer, so please be more practical, Bell."

Aegina's voice echoed in his mind. After knowing that the girl was the lover of his fellow villager, he cut off his unrealistic thoughts out of moral obligation.

However, Aegina clearly knew nothing and quickly rejected him.

Bell's pride was a little hurt. Thinking of his fellow countryman who was famous in Orario, he felt even more depressed.

If only he could have saved Grandpa at that time——

Bell thought this more than once.

He knew that his idea was totally wrong, but deep down he couldn't help but blame Serven. He had the ability and had a good relationship with his grandfather, but he didn't save his grandfather.

"Is Mr. Bell in a bad mood?"

"Ah?" Bell forced a smile, "No. Thank you for the lunch box. I'm going to the dungeon!"

"Well, have a safe journey!"

Looking at the boy's running back, Xier retracted the smile on her face and frowned——

This pure soul that she had never seen before attracted her attention deeply.

But now there are two impurities in this soul, and we must find a way to solve them.

Chapter 68 Frustrated Bell [Subscribe]

The labyrinth city of Orario.

The Adventurer's Guild headquarters is located on Northwest Street.

The exquisitely crafted and high-quality wall clock made by elves pointed to ten o'clock. At this time of day, most of the adventurers would have gone deep into the dungeon to "work". The peak period for adventurers to handle commissions had passed, the Adventurer's Guild would become deserted, and the guild staff would become idle.

But today is different.

The guild has updated the latest intelligence consultation.

The Adventurer's Guild was in an uproar.

The huge notice board was crowded with adventurers. They were either intelligence officers from various factions or forces, or adventurers who just wanted to join in the fun.

Loki's family's [Sword Princess] Aisi Wallenstein successfully upgraded to Lv6! !

After lingering at Lv5 for several years, she accomplished the great feat of single-handedly defeating the lord of the 37th floor, [The Lonely King of the Labyrinth] Udaeus, successfully upgraded, and entered the realm of heroes.

Orario has another top adventurer!

This is a big event that will spark discussion all over Orario.

At the same time, some people noticed that

"Hey, look down there, Odyssey has reached Level 4!!"

"What?! [Odyssey] has been upgraded again?!"

"The last time he got upgraded was the last time, right?" The man had just finished speaking when he was slapped on the back of his head.

"Can you talk properly?"

"I remember that his last upgrade seemed to be only two or three months ago?"

"Are you kidding me? You've reached Lv4 in just two or three months?!"

"Humph, after all, they are the [Loki Familia], they must be deliberately training him to level up and create a topic."

"The Thousand Elves have also been upgraded." Someone suddenly interrupted, but no one paid any attention.

"By the way, how did Odyssey do it?"

"Yeah, I always feel that it makes people care about it. Is there any secret?"

"Yeah, I've been wasting time at Lv3 for more than three years."

A total of three adventurers from the Loki clan have upgraded! Without a doubt, this has become the hottest topic at the moment.

Although the upgrade of Lefiya is always mentioned briefly by adventurers, the upgrades of Sword Princess and Serven have attracted countless discussions and attention.

Even many gods have turned their attention to the urban newcomer [Odyssey].

The upgrade is so fast? I wonder if it can be copied?

……

A group of adventurers were discussing heatedly, but Bell thought they were just being noisy.

He looked at the news that Ace Wallenstein had been upgraded to Level 6, and his heart was touched again. Then, his eyes could not help but stop at the news that [Odyssey] Serven Adonis had successfully upgraded to Level 4.

Lv4!

The number stung his eyes.

Think about how hard I work, how hard I try, but the [experience points] I gain from taking risks increase so slowly, and I don't know when I will be able to advance to Lv2.

He looked down and saw that Serven's great achievement for advancement was to kill the 27th floor master [Anphisbina]. The guild did not reveal whether it was a single-player crusade or a group battle.

Perhaps it was the high-level adventurers of the [Loki Familia] who helped defeat him - Bell had some despicable thoughts that he couldn't control.

When adventurers from his hometown were doing well in Orario, while he himself was always struggling at the bottom and even had to stay with the Lord God at the headquarters of another clan, he really couldn't help but feel jealous.

Bell shook his head, trying to suppress the ugly and restless emotions in his heart, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Hero - how could you be so despicable?

He comforted himself in his mind.

However, after seeing the news of the upgrade again and listening to the discussions of the adventurers around him, Bell's mood became even more depressed.

Upgraded to Lv2 in one month, upgraded to Lv3 in three months, and upgraded to Lv4 in less than half a year. Is this something a human can do?

Especially, in this comparison, he seemed too weak. Bell didn't even have the motivation to go to the dungeon to fight monsters, he just wanted to go back to his room and have a good sleep.

He returned dejectedly, and unknowingly took a long detour to the tavern [The Bountiful Hostess].

Here is a girl named Xier who always comforts him gently.

"Oh, Mr. Bell! You don't look very energetic."

"Yeah." Bell lowered his head, and his rabbit-like white hair listlessly lifted up in the wind.

"[Odyssey] has been upgraded to Lv4."

"Yeah, I've heard about that too." Xier crossed her fingers in front of her body, the corners of her mouth unconsciously drooped, and a rare look of hostility appeared on her face.

Bell was totally unaware and continued to talk to himself, "Actually, he is from the same hometown as me. Compared to him... I feel like a complete failure."

Bell's red pupils dropped their gazes in disappointment. His expression was depressed, and even his usually bright white hair had turned dull, making him look like a pitiful little rabbit...

This immediately touched the goddess' heart!

This weak, pitiful and fragile look is so lovable! It makes people want to hold him in their arms and love him well!

Xier bit her lips tightly, trying hard to restrain her restless impulse.

"Mr. Bell."

"Ok?"

"Can you come with me for a moment?"

"Ah? Okay." Bell followed the uniformed girl to the alley on the side of the tavern in a daze.

This place looks clean and tidy because Liu and others clean it every day.

Xier knelt down on the stone-paved alley. "I heard that this magic is particularly effective for people who are listless." She patted her plump thighs. "Mr. Bell, do you want to try it?"
