--clown.
In Labyrinth City Orario, there is only one Familia that can use the clown pattern as a flag, and that is the [Loki Familia], one of the two strongest in Labyrinth City.
Under the flag, there is a group of powerful people.
Led by three people, namely the little humans, the dwarves and the elves, they formed the power of stars over the moon. And the person who showed kindness to Xiao Lin just now was one of the little humans.
Did you just come back from the expedition?
They had a distinct atmosphere of the dungeon, and with so many people forming a team, they looked like an expedition team at first glance.
The little human holding the spear smiled and introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Finn."
"..." Xiao Lin did not speak.
Burt, the werewolf who was following Finn, shook his tail and said in annoyance: "I said, aren't you completely alert? Don't waste your time, just leave quickly. I've had enough of staying in the dungeon." .”
"Haha?! You dare to refute what the leader said, believe it or not, I'll beat you up?!" Amazon sister Tione looked impatient with the werewolf Burt.
"Are you looking for trouble, stupid Amazon!"
"What did you say?!"
One is a scary-looking werewolf with a bad mouth, and the other is an Amazon who is not calm because of Finn. The two of them were obviously members of the Familia clan, but they quarreled over this trivial matter. The companions behind them wanted to persuade them but didn't know what to do.
"Bert, Thionne."
Finn smashed his spear to the ground, causing the two grumpy people to separate immediately with a grunt.
These two people are real.
Arguing within the Familia can be treated as invisible, but in the eyes of outsiders, it is really against the style of [Loki Familia] to be so rude.
However, this little human with the title of [Brave] is not like a brainless idiot who puts the blame on Xiao Lin. Not only because he is sensible, but also because the members of his family do have character flaws and are full-blown problem children.
Finn looked at Xiao Lin and said, "How about it? If you need help, we can also help. In addition, if you feel bad, you can pay some Farley as a reward."
Of course he is not short of money.
I just said this to dispel Xiaolin's concerns. After all, actions like the one just now are hard not to make people wonder if there are other bad thoughts.
"If that's the case, then there's no problem."
Xiao Lin also accepted it immediately.
When the werewolf Bert saw this, he couldn't help but said with a bad mouth: "What, you are not afraid of us now?"
"Haha. If the famous [Loki Familia] also have to rely on robbery to make a living, then they might as well leave the labyrinth city as soon as possible to find other ways to survive." Xiao Lin stabbed him in a roundabout way.
The implication is that what they did just now is no different from people with ulterior motives.
"Tsk."
The werewolf Bert turned his head and clicked his tongue in displeasure, not sure if he understood. However, judging from his IQ, there is a high probability that he did not understand.
Finn didn't feel any displeasure, even if he was secretly poked by Xiaolin. He turned his head, looked at an ordinary man behind him, and said:
"Raul, come and take him."
"Okay, okay!"
The human adventurer named Raul obviously didn't expect that Finn would give the task to him. After a brief daze, he quickly agreed and at the same time walked out quickly to help Xiao Lin up who was lying on the ground.
Watching this scene, the dwarf Ares and the elf Riveria frowned slightly and subconsciously asked the leader of the [Loki Familia].
"Finn."
"Why do you do this?"
Both of them are members of the Familia Expedition Team, and are also veteran members of two of the Big Three. Naturally, they understand that they must always obey the orders of Captain Finn during the expedition.
But now that the expedition was over and it was time to return, and it was very contrary to Finn's own style to do so, he couldn't help but ask.
"Because he may have connections with Horta."
"...What?" X2
When the group leader said this, the two of them were slightly stunned.
Finn looked at Xiaolin's back and said, "Just now, I felt Ota's aura. Although it was only for a moment, there is no doubt that he did appear on the 17th floor."
"You feel it too?"
"So that's not an illusion?"
The dwarf Ares and the elf Riveria looked at each other, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Finn continued: "Look at that Goliath. It was chopped to death with a big sword and there were no other wounds on its body. And this man (Xiao Lin) is obviously not strong enough to defeat Goliath with one move. The aura I felt in an instant, I knew without thinking that it was Otta who took action. But, why? The Otta I know... No, the people of [Freya Familia] are not so kind. So, you don't Do you think it’s strange?”
Finn is not only the leader of the group, he is also responsible for the overall tactics and command. Because his mind is very easy to use, he can analyze so many things in a very short period of time.
"Yeah... indeed."
"Those people who fight life and death for the goddess will help others. No matter how you think about it, it feels wrong."
Apparently, Finn's reasoning impressed both of them.
However, what Finn didn't tell the two of them was that he felt a strong sense of danger from the gorgeously dressed girl (Liu Zi). If you can make your LV6 self feel in danger, you must be a powerful person.
Finn couldn't help but lick the fingers of his right hand.
He believed in himself and his intuition of danger that he could get from his right thumb.
Therefore, selling favors can not only shorten the distance between them and better observe the two people, but also find out the relationship between Otta and them.
Finn's calculations jingled.
And immediately, his reasoning was verified.
In the crowd, Raoul helped Xiao Lin up, while Liu Zi held the magic stones and materials scattered on the ground.
When they saw the petite Liu Zi carrying materials that were larger than herself, they couldn't help but exclaimed in low voices, and they also wondered whether she was a supporter or something like that.
After seeing it, Raul couldn't help but said: "That girl is really amazing."
"Yes, she is a waiter that I am proud of." Xiao Lin's voice became louder when someone praised Liu Zi.
As long as you praise Liu Zi, we will be good friends.
Raoul smiled honestly and praised Xiao Lin: "You are also very powerful. You must have experienced a difficult battle to defeat the LV4 Goliath."
"Haha?! Defeat a mere Goliath. He's just the master of the top floor. What's there to be proud of? Isn't it just a matter of having hands?"
The werewolf Bert beside him couldn't help but have a bad mouth.
He speaks viciously and has a rude attitude.
There's nothing likeable about this guy.
"What the hell, are you saying that you have a competitive spirit, Burt? Just because this little brother defeated Goliath with the weak and the strong, you are so excited?" The one who mocked the werewolf Burt was the younger sister of the Amazon sisters, Ti. Ona.
She had an incompatible relationship with Bert, and they sometimes got into fights over disagreements, so she would never miss an opportunity to ridicule him.
Sure enough, Burt was tricked.
Veins popped out on his forehead, and he grinned at Tiona: "You stupid Amazon, do you want me to twist your head off..."
"Hmph, if you have the ability, just give it a try!"
Tiona fought back not to be outdone.
She didn't want to speak for Xiao Lin, but just wanted to find a reason to confront Bert.
...Speaking of which, why does this werewolf make enemies everywhere?
Sure enough, it still has something to do with bad mouth.
In fact, he is a nice person, but it's a pity that he has a big mouth.
Raul saw that his companion almost got into a fight because of one of his compliments, and he couldn't bear it any longer. He could only frown slightly and smile awkwardly at Xiaolin, apologizing for his companion.
"I'm sorry, my companions are too noisy. And please don't pay attention to what Bert said just now. He's just not good at expressing his thoughts with words."
Raul is just an ordinary person.
No skills, no magic, just a super ordinary person (passerby A). But being able to reach LV4 seems to show that he is not that simple.
With him, family affairs are always in order, and work is very reassuring. In addition, his character is rare, and it is also one of the reasons why the team members are inspired and work harder.
"No, I'm not angry."
Xiao Lin shook his head.
This is true.
Probably because he was always being bitten by Liu Zi, his ability to withstand the biting was more than ten times stronger than before... It was the werewolf Burt's biting tongue that always had an inexplicable arrogance that made him a little unbearable.
"Moreover, Mr. Raul misunderstood."
"Misunderstood?"
"That Goliath was not conquered by me."
As soon as Xiaolin spoke, the werewolf and Amazon sister who were still noisy stopped immediately.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha---"
Then, like a victorious male duck, Bert the werewolf pointed at Tiona and laughed in a hoarse voice. The Amazon sister glared at him unhappily, and at the same time turned her head to look at Xiao Lin with an extremely resentful look.
The inexplicable complaints made Xiao Lin confused.
Raul was even more confused.
It wasn't Xiaolin's crusade, so why would he be lying on the floor of the 17th floor with bruises all over his body, and was it really okay to take other people's trophies at will?
Seeming to see Raul's doubts, Xiaolin explained: "That's probably compensation."
"compensate?"
"Um."
Xiao Lin nodded, and at the same time complained to Raoul: "Let me tell you, Raoul, would anyone deliberately beat someone's nose and face swollen in the name of guidance? No, there is no such person!"
Even though he knew that fighting Otta would benefit a lot, he still caused the other party no trouble at all from beginning to end. Even Xiao Lin couldn't help but feel aggrieved.
He originally wanted to complain to Liu Zi, but when he thought about being retaliated with poisonous words, he swallowed it back forcefully.
Now that I met Raul, I couldn't help myself.
Xiaolin's complaints also reached the ears of the three giants in front.
Finn, Ares, and Riveria looked at each other and nodded unobtrusively. It was obvious that the reasoning just now had almost revealed the truth.
But also more curious.
What is so special about this man (Kobayashi) that Otta comes to teach him?
Could it be that he is a member of the [Freya Familia]?
No, all the members of [Freya Familia] are paranoid and loners, but he is with this girl (Liu Zi) who has a dangerous aura about her, and he also says that she is his waiter, and she is not that person no matter how you look at it. Members of the dependent clan.
It seems that I need to report this matter to Loki.
the other side.
Lefia, a fairy girl with the title of "Thousand Fairies", was silent along the way. She didn't even notice that a stranger joined the team. She was completely immersed in her own world and couldn't help but murmur in a low voice. : "Do you trust your companions..."
Previously on the 50th floor, because of her cowardice, the team was scattered and her companions were injured, so she blamed herself a lot.
Unlike other companions who are experienced in not revealing the secrets of their clan in front of outsiders, the young elf girl cannot yet hide her emotions.
"Lefia."
A somewhat plain voice came to her ears, awakening the elf girl from deep thought.
He raised his head and saw the blonde swordswoman beside him.
She has an appearance that is not inferior to that of a goddess, and her temperament is like a fairy in a heroic tale. Her long blond hair and expressionless face make her look a little cold. But those who know her well know that she is just a bit of a natural.
She liked her, by the way.
Or, is it better to use longing?
When Lefiya was in a daze again, Ais said: "Is the luggage heavy? Let me help you get some."
"No, this is so embarrassing."
The elf girl's cheeks turned slightly red and she eagerly refused.
And the foul-mouthed werewolf Bert walked past the two of them and couldn't help but said: "Don't worry about the scum, Ace."
"Don't point fingers at Ais, it's so noisy, you idiot Bert." Tiona said to help Ais pack the goods.
"You're the idiot rat scum that caused so much noise that your equipment was dissolved." Burt was not a werewolf but a hedgehog, and he had to prick everyone with his mouth to feel comfortable.
At the same time, the group left the 17th floor and arrived at the 16th floor. This floor and the floor above are both floors where tauren gather.
As soon as the werewolf Bert stepped onto this floor, he stretched out his hand to stop everyone. At the same time, his nose moved, his eyes and voice lowered, and he said seriously: "There is something wrong in front, the smell of blood is too strong."
Finn moved his right thumb. There was no danger warning, but he still asked the members of the family to be vigilant. It wasn't until they saw the dead tauren everywhere that their expressions changed slightly.
Finn leaned down and inspected the Minotaur's wound: "The cut surface is smooth, but the cut mark is too long... It looks like a weapon like silk thread."
With just one glance, he could tell what kind of weapon the tauren died from.
He is worthy of being a [brave].
At this time, Xiao Lin raised his hand and said, "I'm sorry, they were all attacked by me."
"……Aha?"
Bert couldn't help but question.
There are a lot of Minotaur corpses here, almost everywhere. The smell of blood makes people become bloodthirsty and violent. It also makes the werewolf Burt very suspicious of Xiaolin's words.
"How did you kill so many Minotaurs?!"
"like this."
Xiao Lin flicked his right hand, and the inconspicuous thread ran towards the side of the werewolf Burt's face... no, to be precise, it was the wall behind him.
"Moo——"
At some point, a tauren appeared behind Burt, and before it could launch a sneak attack, it was trapped in silk threads all over its body. Then the silk threads wrapped around its body were violently pulled back, and with a pop, it was torn into pieces.
The cut surface of the wound was smooth and the incisions were long. It seemed that these were indeed done by Xiaolin.
"You bastard……"
Bert tilted his head. Half a centimeter away from his cheek, a transparent thread shot into the wall behind him, and the other end of the thread was held by Xiao Lin.
If the werewolf Burt hadn't ducked in time, the thread would have almost hurt him. It's hard not to suspect that Xiao Lin did this on purpose.
But now, there is no chance for him to find trouble.
because--
"Ho ho ho~~"
A huge bull roar came to the ears of the group with a threatening force. At that time, countless tauren appeared from the wall, surrounded the group of people, and looked at them eagerly.
——[Monster Feast] is here!
