Comics: Starting from Killer Queen

The higher the level of the adventurer, the more serious it is. No one knows how deep the dungeon is, how strong the monsters inside will be, and whether they will appear one day. Such a change.

This time, the strength is probably only around level . What if a deeper monster appears and is as powerful as the three major commissions?

Until now, the one-eyed black dragon has not been defeated.

Therefore, no matter what, the expedition to the dungeon is the first priority.

"What's the exact time?"

After hearing Roland's inquiry, Finn poured himself another glass of wine.

"After the Monster Festival, this is also the time for expedition mobilization."

Although the Monster Festival was a celebration held by the family of Ganesha, the god of the people, until now, with the changes in cities and times, this festival has become the official annual festival of Orario.

The Ganesha clan will capture monsters from the dungeon, tame them, and then put them in the Colosseum to let them kill each other or fight against adventurers. This is to demonstrate the dominance of the people of the underworld over monsters, please the public, reduce the fear of monsters, and attract more adventurers to join.

Using it to mobilize people during festivals like this can indeed achieve twice the result with half the effort.

However, thinking of the uproarious monster festival in the original book, Roland couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"Although it's very effective, it feels a bit suicidal at this time. The monsters will be infected faster than the adventurers, right?"

"The guild has said that it will strictly inspect the monsters brought up, and will hire adventurers to conduct reconnaissance in the dungeon during the monster festival to prevent accidents."

Finn slowly explained that to be able to become the recognized leader of a core team like the Loki Familia, in addition to his own strength, his excellent commanding ability is also a point that cannot be ignored. To convince him, the guild's plan can be said to be Quite complete.

"I see. So, what does the guild plan to let me, a hero, do? The expedition hasn't even started yet. They're not going to let me bring Esther out to play an exhibition match, are they?"

Roland smiled slightly and said teasingly.

"This is the confidential information I want to talk about."

Finn nodded, looking very serious.

"Have you heard of... the Holy Lord's clan?"

"?"

Roland raised his head in genuine surprise, not knowing what Finn was planning by saying this.

Finn didn't intend to let Roland answer, but took a deep breath and explained.

"Just the day after we set out, an unknown clan appeared in Orario, and they attacked adventurers who entered the dungeon in large numbers. They specifically guarded the upper and middle floors, and any adventurer with a little potential could not escape the clutches of this clan."

"Um……"

Roland raised his chin and motioned for Finn to continue.

"Originally, such an action should have resulted in corpses everywhere. After all, according to the guild's estimate, there are at least dozens of attackers, all of whom are level 3-4 elites. There may even be a few level adventurers among them. It's like the dark faction of the past is making a comeback."

Dark faction, this is a word that has been sealed in Orario's memory.

For the gods in the heavens, since there are good-hearted gods like Ganesha who are devoted to the masses, there are also evil gods who only care about having fun, in the true sense.

Most of these gods have very twisted tendencies and are eager to destroy the world. They also exist on the side of the dungeon. For the sake of real fun, they will disregard everything, whether it is attacking potential adventurers, slaughtering weak clans, or even attacking their fellow gods. It is very common to send them back to heaven early.

And the people of the lower world who are favored by such gods and bestowed favors are often of the same origin. Although they cannot be said to be law-abiding, they can at least be said to do all kinds of evil.

Eventually, due to public outrage, their main members were wiped out, leaving only a group of desperate remnants still lurking, becoming a thorn in the side of the guild.

"But what's incredible is that this clan, which looks like a dark sect, basically doesn't take action on the adventurer's life, and the property is all intact. It just knocks the adventurer out and leaves. Before leaving, he even Will actively destroy surrounding walls to create a safe environment."

Finn looked a little strange when he said this.

"At first, the guild thought it was just a prank by a clan and didn't pay much attention to it. It was not until the scale of this prank gradually expanded that the guild realized what the adventurers had been robbed of."

"It may sound like a fantasy, but the experience points of those adventurers were taken away. Regardless of their level or how much they trained, their status has stopped at the last time their ability values ​​were updated."

When saying this, Finn lowered his voice unconsciously, and his expression was extremely determined.

"My experience points were taken away..."

Roland said in a low voice with a subtle expression.

When Finn looked at his expression, he thought Roland didn't believe him. After all, the idea of ​​having his experience points taken away was too far-fetched.

"The guild judged that this should be the result of some kind of magic, and it should be caused by the dependents of an unknown evil god. Yesterday, I participated in the guild's counterattack and successfully captured an attacker. Unfortunately, the attacker seemed to be crazy. He tried his best to He used a fire magic that did not require chanting to resist, and in the end only a corpse was left."

Finn explained, then looked around vigilantly again and whispered in Roland's ear.

"After removing the cloak, we discovered that the attacker was not human... To be more precise, he was not any kind of life we ​​know of."

Finn took out a green prismatic scale from his pocket and pushed it to Roland.

"The guy's appearance is very similar to that of the monster in the dungeon, but he is obviously intelligent. After forcibly unlocking it with the unlocking potion, the emblem that appeared behind him was a coiled dragon."

The grace bestowed by different gods will show different emblems on the back, which is also the best way to identify the identity.

"Currently, it seems that no god knows this god called the Holy Lord, and we can't find any relevant clues. After being captured once, the Holy Lord's family became even more frantic."

Finn sighed and covered his face.

"They actually started running to the first few floors and attacking the new adventurers who are still training. But these guys never attack the Orario that we are more familiar with. We can only think that those who rarely go into the dungeon have too little experience and they don't think highly of them."

It's just because it's not necessary. After all, low-level adventurers have basically drunk the divine wine. Although he thinks so, Roland has not forgotten his current personality.

"To actually...do such a beautiful...crazy thing!"

He slapped the table, clenched his fists, and then, as if realizing something, asked.

"Could it be that the guild wants to..."

"They want you, as a hero, to take the initiative to look for these guys in the next few days. You are also suitable. Although you are a level 2, you have strength far beyond those guys. You also like to act alone. With the help of the immortal spirit, if you help, the Saint Lord's family will definitely be nowhere to hide!"

Seeing Roland's thoughtful look, Finn stopped what he was doing and looked at him seriously. In this matter, Roland, who acted alone and had unfathomable strength, was the most suitable candidate.

Loki's family is too conspicuous, both in terms of features and appearance. Roland's specific features will not be officially included in the official announcement of Orario until after today. It will take at least a few days for them to be deeply rooted in people's hearts. This is the biggest advantage.

After a long time, Roland smiled slightly and made a decision that made Finn feel relieved.

"Since this is the case, I will certainly do my best to avoid it."

"Thank you, Roland..."

Faced with Finn's sincere gratitude, Roland waved his hand and raised his eyebrows.

"But, what about the reward? The guild is not planning to get rid of me with just a title."

He has always been the one who tricked others into working for him for free. How could he stick to others and work for them for free, even if it was just an act of passing his left hand to his right hand?

"That's really your style... However, the guild was very generous this time. The Supreme God Uranus didn't seem to want to investigate the origins of these guys, but asked us to solve this matter first, so there is this number."

Finn gave a rough figure, and Roland confirmed the exact amount again before nodding in satisfaction.

"You are really sincere, then, leave this matter to me."

Roland smiled confidently and spoke in an affirmative tone.

"——The end of the Holy Lord's family has come."

After bidding farewell to Finn, Roland was not in a hurry to leave, but thought about everything that had happened recently.

The work done by the Sumo clan is quite reliable. Roland has already felt that the number of people infected with the evil of this world is increasing at an alarming rate outside of Orario. Not to mention Orario, Sumo's Divine wine has already become a cheap drink that can replace plain water.

In fact, even if Finn didn't come, in a few days, the Saint's followers would have to focus on selling wine. After all, there were only so many core adventurers who could be infected, and it was almost time to stop. Roland could still get some money from the guild.

The progress of unlocking the talisman has been mostly completed, which is much faster than Roland's slow recovery on his own. Although it was just a whim, the potential of the Orario adventurers really exceeded Roland's expectations.

The next problem lies in the bonded spirit.

"The Queen of the Virus not only possesses a physical body, but while actively spreading the Apocalypse virus, she also learned to grant void to her subordinates. Apart from monsters, there should be nothing to possess her in the dungeon..."

Roland pondered, and then thought of Rui Weisi. Although she was also a fanatical believer, she was generally smart. She firmly believed that Orario was doomed, and she should have a specific plan, but unfortunately she didn't. She was killed by the Virus Queen upon seeing her.

If the Virus Queen really intends to take action, the Monster Festival is her last chance. I hope she can give herself a surprise.

-

"Hurry up! Don't wait any longer. There is not much time for the last batch of domestication, and the monster festival is about to be used!"

Entering the cage, the adventurer wearing an elephant head mask ignored the urging of his companions. Instead, he carefully inspected the monster's limbs, mouth, and various parts of the body. After finding no corresponding purple crystal, he spoke.

"This is what Lord Ganesha ordered himself. I have to check it carefully before I can give it to you. This one is fine. Take it. Next one!"

"understood!"

After closing the cage again and covering it with a black cloth, the new star beast tamer of the Ganesha Familia couldn't wait to rush towards the station. For the members of the Ganesha Familia, the Monster Festival is also a great way to show off their talents. No one wants to miss the opportunity to gain recognition from the gods.

But when he dragged the cage towards the station, the monster covered in black cloth suddenly stopped whimpering. His eyelids rolled up, and his body was paralyzed in the cage, unable to move, as if it was being held down by some invisible force. Same.

In the gaps between his claws, tiny purple crystals grew quietly and merged with the flesh.

Chapter 138 Grimoire and Magic

"Come to think of it, this is my first time participating in such a formal festival."

Roland took a potato ball and handed it to Esther next to him.

Orario was unusually crowded with people during the day. During this festive occasion, even adventurers did not mind taking a day off to rest.

The streets spreading out from the arena were already flooded with people flowing like ants. Even ordinary people had smiles on their faces. Everywhere were stalls set up by merchants who had heard the news. People of all races mixed among them, and the air was filled with pleasant smells.

In slightly larger places, there are bards telling legends, and theater troupes performing acrobatics to applause. These are the best crowd attractors. The main street of Orario can accommodate several carriages moving forward at the same time, but at this moment, it is still squeezed extremely narrow by the crowded flow of people.

"If there's a riot, it'll be all over."

Roland bit into a fried potato ball that he had wanted to try before and sighed in surprise.

“It’s actually quite delicious.”

Under the crispy outer layer is a dense texture like quicksand, and there is also stuffing. As one of the cheapest and most popular snacks in Orario, it has such a taste. Roland doesn't know what to complain about the technology tree here.

"Roland-kun, even if you are a hero, you will be glared at if you say something like this that spoils the fun."

Hestia looked at the bustling street in front of her with her head held high. "This prosperous and interesting scene is exactly why we gods have come to the lower world."

Early this morning, Hestia angrily pulled Roland out and asked him to go on a date with her. Roland usually had to go to the dungeon, and his rare vacation was filled with the guild's commissions, resulting in the two of them having less time to spend together.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Hestia herself has important things to do.

"I don't know what the guild is doing. They've issued orders to the frontline adventurers. Even gods like us with powerful families have to hold a small meeting alone."

Thinking about how her rare time alone with Roland was interrupted, Hestia bit the straw in her hand hard and drank the juice in the glass casually.

Even if this incident had not happened, they could not be said to be in their own world. Esther, who was seeing this kind of festival for the first time, blinked her clear eyes, stared at the fried potato balls in her hand as if they were about to emit light, and ate them in small bites.

Compared to her, the Goddess, Esther and Roland's relationship was even more inseparable. Although Hestia was a little dissatisfied, she was not angry with such a pure fairy. She was very happy to be able to wander around freely with Roland this morning.

Roland reached out his hand, wiped the residue from the corner of Esther's mouth, and said suddenly.

"After all, this matter is very serious. We really don't know until we investigate. So many people in Orario have already shown symptoms of infection. It's no exaggeration to describe it as a bomb. It's inevitable that we are trying to prevent it now, which is a bit too late."

"Is it that serious?"

Hestia looked at Roland in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

"Although this virus seems to have appeared for the first time, we will find preventive measures sooner or later. Although other people may be far inferior to you, the wisdom of the children and gods in the lower world cannot be underestimated."

"Well... let's just leave it at that."

If it was just a simple epidemic, Roland had no doubt that the gods in the wrong world had the ability to solve it. The various crooked technology trees and greatly improved productivity here were the best proof of this.

However, the Apocalypse Virus is not such a simple thing. It is more about changing the life form, and it can even be said to be a shortcut on the road to evolution. Given the innate gap in time and cognition, this thing is by no means so easy to deal with. By the time these people discover the key, they don’t know when it will be.

In this way, the guild is still very reliable. It deeply understands the key factor that if the problem cannot be solved, the person who created the problem should be solved first. Loki and other main gods must have thought of this before agreeing to the decision of the Great Expedition.

However, for Hestia, who has been staying at home for too long and whose intelligence has seriously declined, it may take a little more effort for her to understand this. Fortunately, I won’t tell her first, but let the gods explain it to her.

Roland's face showed a very gentle expression that made people feel like spring breeze, but Hestia felt that there was some bad emotion in the corners of Roland's pursed mouth.

She looked at Roland suspiciously, but did not ask any further questions. Instead, she drank the juice and enjoyed this beautiful world.

Although there is still some time before the Monster Festival officially begins, the people's expectations and enthusiasm can no longer be concealed. Everyone feels extremely proud and believes that they are living in the best era and can freely meet and talk with the gods in heaven.

In the past, monsters ravaged the land, and people could not survive without the leadership of heroes. But now, even without receiving favors, people can still comment on the monsters trapped in cages. This contrast will give people a great sense of security and enthusiasm, so it is no surprise that there is such enthusiasm.

If they really wanted to cause trouble, this should be the time. However, even if it is the Queen of Viruses, the Apocalypse virus has not accumulated for as long as in the original work. Judging from the data of infected people checked by the guild in the past few days, it always feels that it is still a little short of the scale of the Lost Christmas in the original work that spreads all over the world.

Although the Ganesa clan is unreliable, with precautions, there shouldn't be a riot that would allow the monsters to be released again. Even Freya won't cause trouble this time.

"Don't worry, Roland-kun. Although you are called a hero, don't really think of yourself as someone who can bear the survival of mankind on your own. Children who insist on their own way will often go astray."

Just as Roland was deep in thought, Hestia suddenly poked his waist and showed an energetic smile.

"If anything really happens, we gods will take care of it. Now, just enjoy the festival happily!"
