A Mistaken Encounter: The Hero of the World

At the same time, [Twilight Mansion].

Loki was pacing in the yard with his hands behind his back, looking around like a street urchin.

Suddenly there was a thud.

Loki uttered a cry of pain. She covered her head and looked up at the sky with a serious expression, only to see an owl flying overhead.

A carrier pigeon... No, whose familiar is this?

Loki squinted his eyes and watched the owl fly away from the headquarters. Then he looked at the ground and saw a small parchment scroll lying quietly on the ground.

She squinted her eyes and stared at the scroll from a distance for a few seconds before picking it up and opening it. It turned out that only Serven and Ais had accepted a commission and went to the 24th floor.

Such a small matter actually needs to be reported so formally. How idle!... Loki secretly complained in his heart.

At this moment--

She suddenly heard a clan member report that a male god wanted to meet her.

"You've come to us again..."

In front of the gate of the Twilight Pavilion, Loki frowned and looked at Dionysus and the elf girl behind him with an expression of annoyance.

"I have obtained some interesting information. Let's not stand and talk. Let's find a place where we can sit down and talk slowly."

Dionysus smiled brilliantly, completely ignoring Loki's disgusted expression, which looked as if he was about to say "fuck you" the next moment.

He looked behind him and saw Filweiss gently shaking the premium wine in her hand. Loki's smile instantly blossomed. "Come on, why don't you bring a gift? No problem, no problem. Come in first."

Loki 24 had tables and chairs prepared in the narrow courtyard in front of the tower. He took the wine from Filweiss's hand, opened it and started drinking without saying a word.

"There was a monster surge on the 24th floor, but the guild deliberately concealed the information."

As soon as Dionysus finished speaking, Loki spat out the wine in his mouth.

"Is it hard to drink?" The male god frowned, shook the glass gracefully a few times, and took a sip, "It's very sweet."

Loki shook her hand and said, "In fact, the two children of our clan just ran to the [Big Tree Maze]. I don't know if they went to the 24th floor?" She waved her hand to signal Dionysus to continue.

"Actually, a similar situation has happened before, but that time it happened on the 30th floor. Not many people knew about it. It was probably... three weeks ago." The male god seemed to still not remember clearly and tried hard to recall.

Loki raised his eyebrows. Finn, Severnice and others also mentioned this matter last time.

"I feel like something is wrong, and I hope you can help investigate it."

"My children are out now, so it's impossible for them to investigate the 24th floor." Loki waved his hand and was about to refuse.

"Didn't you say there was a child in the Big Tree Maze? That child might be in danger."

Loki narrowed his eyes.

"It would be great if Sword Princess was here. If we could invite her to go, she would be able to match the strength of a hundred people." The male god saw Loki's hesitation.

"Call Bert and Lefiya over." Loki immediately ordered the team members beside him.

"Is it okay for just two of us to go?" Dionysus rubbed his forehead. "I always feel that there is a dangerous atmosphere in this incident."

"There's nothing we can do. Everyone else is out..." Loki spread his hands, looking helpless.

"Then... Filweisi, you should also go to the 24th floor with Loki's children."

"Eh?!"

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

"Fels."

A heavy and deep voice rang out from the altar.

At the deepest part of the Adventurer's Guild Headquarters, there is a hall in the style of an ancient temple carved out of huge stones.

This is the prayer hall of the great god Uranus located beneath the Adventurer's Guild headquarters.

The bright red torches cut through the deep darkness that filled the surroundings.

Uranus sat high on the throne in the center of the altar, his gray robe and hood could not hide his sturdy body. His pale eyes reflected the joyful firelight and looked at the man in black, Fels.

"Why did you ask Sword Princess and Odyssey for a commission?"

Several hours had passed since Serven and his team accepted the commission to investigate on the 24th floor. After Fels issued the commission to the two, they passed through numerous traps and secret passages and finally returned here, where they were questioned by the old god.

Fals looked up at the top of the altar. Uranus stood still as a mountain with a serious expression.

"You said it yourself that provoking Loki's family without reason is not a good thing. Loki just left here not long ago, why do you want to take the risk now?" The old god's tone did not sound like an accusation, but more like a discussion with Fels.

"As far as I know, Sword Princess seems to have overreacted to the Gemstone Fetus." Fels recalled the information he had obtained from Luluni.

When Uranus heard this, his eyebrows moved slightly.

"I think that Ess Wallenstein has some kind of indissoluble bond with the Pearl, so I did this. Perhaps this can be a clue to solving the mystery of the Pearl's fetus."

After listening to Fels's thoughts, Uranus remained silent, as if he was also thinking about the whole thing, and spent a period of silence.

"Besides—"

Fels looked up at Uranus and continued, "In the food storage incident on the 30th floor, we barely managed to snatch the orb on our own, but our comrade (Reed) was severely injured. Now, I think we can't let them bear any more burdens."

Fels mentioned that it was on the 30th floor - the reason why Hassana was able to retrieve the orb.

The sound continued to come from under the hood that was blocked by darkness.

"There were no tamers last time, but after the incident on the 30th floor, there is no reason for the other party not to become more vigilant. In order to prevent various unexpected situations, we must prepare sufficient combat power, including [Sword Princess]."

Uranus nodded and closed his eyes, "I will talk to Hermes about this."

"Please, Ouranos."

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

Deep in the dungeon, far away from the surface, it is located at the deepest part of the middle level.

A huge hole in an unknown place.

The damp air and foul smell were everywhere.

This was neither the body odor of the monsters nor the smell of blood. It was a kind of stench that one would not be able to smell even if thrown into the stomach of a monster. It was a disgusting stench similar to that of rotting meat, which attracted flies.

Although this area, which was filled with the stench of corpses, was a corner of the dungeon, the adventurers could not hear any stupid and ferocious monsters roaring. It was as if it was separated from the dungeon and had nothing to do with the noise of the maze.

In the eerie silence, there were the intermittent sounds of people's footsteps, the sound of something stirring, and low, broken gong-like cries.

The dark space was illuminated by a blood-red light.

"..."

The side of his face, which was burned by the red light, made a "sha" sound, and he took a big bite of the colorful magic stone, just like he was casually biting an apple.

The shadow stretched on the ground revealed the shadow of a woman with a slender and graceful body and plump panda figure.

The bangs on her forehead swayed slightly - the same bright red color as the liquid on the ground. Her inverted pupils were green, similar to the pupils of cold-blooded animals, and her eyes were extremely sharp.

This person is none other than the female animal trainer, Revis, who successfully escaped from the 18th floor.

She stood up and sat on her knees, not moving.

"730 Hey! The monsters in the dungeon are rioting, causing unrest among the adventurers. Isn't this going to be a problem?!"

A man with a long robe covering his upper body came over. He wore a turban that covered his mouth, and a forehead protector on top of the turban, covering his face.

"It's so noisy, stop shouting." The woman glanced at the shouting man and responded coldly.

She threw the magic stone into her mouth and chewed it into powder. She took out a fruit from the bag behind her and was about to eat it when she suddenly lost interest. So -

With five clenched fingers, the bursting fruit flesh flew everywhere like a crushed head.

"I'll lend you the Piranha Plant, and you can figure out how to deal with those little villains yourself."

Seeing that the woman didn't even look at him and spoke in a very unkind manner, he clicked his tongue and turned away.

After the turbaned man disappeared into the darkness, another figure appeared.

The person illuminated by the red light is a man dressed in white.

"I was actually discovered by the adventurers. What bad luck."

The man wore a helmet made of monster bones. His clothes also concealed his appearance, and his tall body was not equipped with any weapons.

The red-haired woman glanced at him, and the man stopped and asked:

"Is it okay to just leave it alone, Revis?"

"No matter how much the adventurers notice, it's none of my business."

"Are you going to leave this to the [Evils]?"

"Yes, I'm not leaving here."

Revis looked at the countless figures moving in the darkness with little interest.

"What if someone comes to capture her, like on the 30th floor?"

The woman uttered cold words without caring -

"——Kill as many as you can."

"Yasifei, I didn't expect you to come here and lead the team in person."

"There's nothing I can do. This idiot exposed our clan's secret. Now we're being held hostage by someone else. I have no choice but to come and clean up the mess."

"I'm not an idiot." The dogman Luluni still said stubbornly.

However, when she met the angry gazes of Yasifei and other clan members, her shoulders and head drooped listlessly, "Sorry, I didn't mean it."

The other family members continued to stare at her coldly, obviously dissatisfied with this light apology.

"Everyone... I'm really sorry." Luluni had no choice but to finally use her ultimate secret, [Bow Craftsmanship]. She bowed deeply, and her ears drooped completely.

"I have caused trouble for our family..."

Yasfei and the other members sighed at the same time. Although they were still helpless, they had obviously gotten over the matter.

Luluni's drooping ears fluttered back to their original position, and she was full of energy again. She touched the back of her head and smiled apologetically at the clan members.

"Then let's set off now," Serven suggested.

Yasifei nodded and led the clan members to form a team.

Serven continued to work with Ai Si. Because the two of them were too famous in Orario and it would easily attract too much unnecessary attention, the two teams agreed to separate first and then meet at the entrance of the 19th floor.

Everyone here was a high-level adventurer and they advanced very quickly, so they quickly arrived at the entrance and gathered together.

Continuing down from here is the [Big Tree Maze].

"Mr. Serven, aren't you going to change your gear?" Yasifei glanced at Serven. He was only wearing Far Eastern cloth clothing, with the only hard armor on his body being a breastplate.

In contrast, the members of the Hermes Family were almost fully armed, and even wore the Fire Spirit Cloth to protect against the firebirds' attacks. Even Ais, although she didn't wear the Fire Spirit Cloth, was wearing a light armor.

"Serven is the same in the deep layer." Aisi said calmly on the side. With Yasifei's Lv4 dynamic vision, she could also observe the slightly upturned corners of Aisi's mouth.

What is there to be proud of? Shouldn't we actively discourage this?

There were too many complaints. For a moment, Yasifei just opened her mouth, but all the words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat and she couldn't say anything.

Finally, she could only look away and give the order. "Get ready for battle, go!"

After hearing the captain's order, the members of the Hermes Family immediately took action, showing good teamwork. Scouting, vigilance, vanguard, flank, and rear guard each performed their duties.

However, such a wonderful cooperation was useless in front of Serven and Ais——

Aisi took the lead.

A breeze wrapped around her body, and she used the power of the wind to speed up her movement, while also increasing the penetration effect of the [Sword of Despair]. With a few jumps, she appeared in front of the monster.

Simple sword light——

Under the crushing of levels, the defenses of monsters are as thin as paper. Even if there are monsters with amazing defenses that are difficult to deal with, Aisi can rely on the experience gained from years of training in the dungeon to find the enemy's weaknesses and break them with one blow.

Ais's close combat has a powerful adrenaline-stimulating visual effect. Coupled with the fact that she is a charming girl, she presents everyone with a visual feast of violent aesthetics.

The members of the Hermes Family were amazed and aroused by Ais's fighting. They also held their weapons and were ready to fight.

Unfortunately, Serven didn't give them a chance.

[Big Tree Maze] The speed of producing monsters has increased a lot, so even Ai Si will inevitably miss the newly born monsters behind her.
