"Huh?" Looking at Artoris's unwillingness to be outdone, some hot air spurted out from the gaps between the scales on the lizard man's face, and he yelled at her in a contemptuous and impatient tone.
"Little girl, are you trying to find trouble? Is it just you?" The lizard man's shaking sound attracted the attention of other adventurers around him, and they all turned their eyes here.
"I don't have this idea. I just think there is nothing wrong with first-come, first-served."
Unlike the Phantom World, where humans dominate, Tianeste is dominated by elves. In addition to humans, there are also a large number of orcs living in the lower class. Although humans and orcs have reached an agreement to live in harmony, most orcs have innate physical advantages compared to humans, making them arrogant.
Faced with the lizard man's provocation, Artoris did not flinch. With many years of combat experience, she knew with her intuition that the opponent's strength would not pose much of a threat to her. However, it was not her original intention to provoke a dispute. It was just a minor issue of civility and discipline. If the other party could make concessions here, it would be good for everyone.
"It's true that this young lady arrived first. If you can, please don't have any conflicts over such a trivial matter. It can be regarded as a favor to me." The gentleman who least wants to make things worse is naturally the gentleman. Seeing the tense posture between the two, he quickly spoke out his words of comfort while sweating.
"I said, I'm in a hurry." However, even so, the guy still had no intention of backing down.
"Are you a stubborn person? I'm the only one in front of you. Can't you just wait a moment and show me some respect?"
"I asked you two to hurry up. There are people waiting behind you." A strange male voice came from behind. He was obviously an adventurer from the laboratory who was going to seek help later. When he saw Artoris and the two standing in front of him, he was inexplicably blocked. dispute, so he urged.
"Shut up, you have no place to speak here!"
Artoris saw the lizard man turn around and yell at the man, and then looked at her again with anger. After turning his head and taking a look at the adventurer who had not recovered his consciousness for a moment, he suddenly broke into a sweat.
Speaking of which, the adventurer level is probably level 80. How dare this guy do it?
In short, it seems that the lizard man has no intention of letting Artoris go. He is like a typical fool in the story, provoking the protagonist regardless of the occasion: "The Codilog people have always treated males and females equally, only the stronger ones." Only then do you have the right to speak.”
"So are you done yet?" As more adventurers stepped onto the second floor, the queue behind them gradually grew longer, and someone finally became impatient.
"In short, you have to win the battle before you have the right to speak, right!" Hearing that the adventurers behind her were about to get agitated, Artolis, knowing that she was delaying others, could only take a step back.
"Hmph, then you come first, and I will come back to you to pay back the part owed to me after I wake up."
"It should have been like this a long time ago, but I will let you understand later that I don't owe you anything!" The lizard man glared at Artoris fiercely. After speaking, he broke away from Artoris's hand and pushed the silver coins away. Arrive in front of the gentleman.
"Hurry up, I have to settle accounts with this girl later, because too much time was wasted on inexplicable things, and now I am in a very bad mood. What will happen to this girl later depends on your efficiency." The lizard man said He looked up, curled his tongue and spat out a mouthful of phlegm to the side with a very bad attitude.
"It only takes a few minutes. Miss, don't argue with me." Seeing that the lizard man didn't seem to be joking, he met his serious gaze, and the gentleman helplessly shook his head at Artolis. shook his head.
"Sorry, this is a matter of first-come, first-served principle. You can see that everyone who came later was queuing up very well." Artolis put her hands on her hips and raised her head with a look of reluctance.
"I think what the lady said is right."
"Let's just say that as an adventurer, although my words are rough, at least I still have these basic qualities."
"You have to say that, I think so too."
"really."
…
"You see, everyone agrees so much." After receiving the response from the crowd behind her, Artolis nodded with satisfaction.
"...What the lady said is absolutely true." Seeing this, the gentleman lowered his head in shame.
"Hey, I asked you to help me awaken my attributes, are you done?!"
"Yes, yes, it's coming out."
Listening to the other party's voice, Artolis cast her eyes towards the gentleman, and saw him lowering his head and closing his eyes. Then he clasped his hands together and silently recited a congratulatory message that Artolis could not understand.
After a moment, he opened his eyes, and at the same time, a white flame-like light appeared between his separated hands. Under the control of the gentleman, the ray of white light gradually rose up, swaying in the direction of the movement of his hand, and was slowly introduced into the lizard man's eyebrows, and finally merged with the lizard man.
"This is done."
As the gentleman finished speaking, Artoris opened her analytical eyes and observed the attributes of the lizard man.
Name (unknown):
Level 38
Occupation: Undecided
Total magic value: 5701
[Blessing of Chasing Waves] All attributes in the water are increased by 50%
[Destroyer's Protection] Strength increased by 20%
"Is there two protections in the initial awakening, and is it as high as level 38?" After observing the attributes of the lizard man, many people frowned, and then cast sympathetic glances at Artolis.
Just from everyone's expressions and mutual exchanges, Artolis could tell that the other party's attributes were quite good among those who had just awakened. With such a talent, he is destined to be a malleable talent. With some experience, it is not impossible to become an A-level adventurer within ten years.
Levels in this world are not shared. In this trial, Artolis couldn't help but frowned when she thought that someone with a talent like Baron was only level 40. It seemed that her intuition seemed to have made her wrong. judgment.
"How about it, with such strength, how can you compete with me?" When he felt the power emerging from his body, the lizard man became even more arrogant, looking at Artoris with eyes full of contempt.
"..." Without replying to his words, Artolis, after thinking for a moment, simply walked up to the gentleman and handed him the silver coins needed to awaken his attributes.
"Then it's my turn now."
"Hey, are you listening to me?!" Atoris's actions of not taking him seriously made the lizard man feel humiliated, and this emotion soon turned into anger.
"If you want to fight, you should wait until I wake up, right?" Artolis glanced at the other party and replied angrily.
"I don't care. If I don't teach you a lesson today, you, a smelly, yellow-haired girl like me, I won't call you Dilas!"
The other party's emotions were a bit out of control. Artoris saw that the lizard man was completely unreasonable, and after finishing speaking, he raised his fist and hit her.
"Why don't you follow martial ethics?" Artolis was surprised by the other party's behavior, but the oncoming punch with strong wind was not allowed for her to dodge at all, because if she did not resist it head-on, it would not affect the people around her. It will be affected, and the gentleman closest to her will also be affected.
We have no choice but to attack!
In her desperation, she was not allowed to think too much. She gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and faced the opponent directly.
Artoris's fist was less than one-tenth the size of the lizard man's fist, and she was even seven times weaker than the opponent in terms of momentum. However, at the moment when their fists collided, Artolis's brows moved, revealing a look of surprise.
"This is?"
The head-on collision between the two sides only decided the winner in an instant, and the strong energy exploded. While flying the surrounding adventurers, it also tore countless ferocious strips on the ground on the second floor of the entire association. of cracks.
"--boom!"
As another loud noise came, under the lizard man's astonished gaze, Artoris' seemingly weak punch easily blocked his fist back, and after gaining the advantage in strength, she hit him hard. chest. The energy penetrated the lizard man's body and exploded from behind him. The figure flew upside down and disappeared from everyone's sight after smashing the stone wall on the second floor.
"Huh~" After looking at the huge gap with a diameter of four meters in the wall in front of her, Artolis finally let out a breath and turned her head to look at the gentleman who was stunned and had not yet recovered, Artoris smiled instead of being serious.
"Then now, you can awaken my attributes for me."
