Tower of Babel.
This place is as majestic as ever, and on the top floor of this huge chalk tower, the Goddess of Beauty quietly leans on the window, looking for the soul that can make her heart beat.
But the more she looked at her, the more disappointed she became.
Because among the pedestrians walking below, all had dark and filthy souls, which over time made her mood worse.
At this time, the door was gently pushed open, and the iron-tower-like pig race pushed in.
"I'm sorry, Lady Freya."
"Otta."
But Freya didn't look at him, she was still looking down, as if looking for a certain figure, but then she asked:
"how?"
"He has become stronger. Although he is not as good as me, he has the potential to catch up with me."
"You think highly of him?"
"yes."
Ota admitted calmly.
It seemed like nothing, but Freya didn't think so, because the leader of the pig tribe in front of her rarely recognized others.
But this still failed to arouse Freya's interest.
The purity of Xiaolin's soul made her curious. If she hadn't met another boy, Meishen wouldn't mind promoting his growth, but now...
No, you can't think so.
Now that I (Hill) have interacted with Xiao Lin, I can just let nature take its course. It might bring me some unexpected and novel experiences when the time comes.
"Then go ahead, Ota."
"yes."
Freya plans to let Otta guide Xiaolin regularly to help him grow. It would also be great if he can grow to the height of Otta and the others.
Don't get me wrong, this is just a matter of convenience.
"Lady Freya, why not..."
"Wait, Ota."
Freya interrupted Ota forcefully because she saw the figure who had made her fall. Even though his whole body was now covered in blood and his running and escaping steps were messy and messy, the God of Beauty's obsessed gaze followed his back and only slowly retracted it until he disappeared.
"Sure enough, that child is..."
————
"Sure enough, that kid is Bell."
After Xiaolin gathered with the [Loki Familia] expedition team, he thought about what had just happened.
Unexpectedly, the first encounter between Cowardly Rabbit and Sword Girl was actually brought about by himself, so he felt a little complicated.
The harsh words in his ears interrupted his thoughts.
"Hey, weirdo, standing here is in the way, hurry up and leave."
The werewolf Burt had a bad taste in his mouth when he passed by. This guy has a very arrogant personality and looks down on weak adventurers. He is a typical realist. But if the strength is good, it will improve.
Xiao Lin's current strength is not very good, but he can easily kill a dozen LV2 Minotaurs at LV1 level, which is barely enough to catch his eye.
Well, 'barely'.
Extraordinary Raoul came over and said with concern: "Mr. Xiaolin, are you okay? Are you pushing yourself too hard? It's okay. [Monster Feast] is not your fault, and it's your first time in the dungeon. You didn't know there was such a thing." This mechanism is also excusable. And this mechanism is only speculation at present, so, so..."
"Mr. Raul..."
Xiao Lin was slightly moved.
In the past, I took the initiative to comfort others, but I never expected that being comforted by others would feel so good.
Moreover, Raul is very observant and does not ignore any abnormalities. As expected of an elite member recognized by the brave Finn, he is an indispensable member of the [Loki Familia] expedition team.
At this time, Sword Girl Ais also came up and said, "Don't worry. There were surprisingly few adventurers coming to the dungeon today, and it didn't cause much damage."
The cold voice and the expressionless pretty face seemed a bit like blaming, but it was really comforting.
"Brother! Don't worry!"
"This happens all the time!"
“It’s understandable that there were casualties.”
"That's right!"
They all tried to comfort Xiao Lin.
In the labyrinth city, the two strongest families are divided into two different management models.
[Freya Familia] has the goddess as the core, and everyone obeys the will of the goddess and fights independently, while [Loki Familia] is a big family that helps members of the family who encounter difficulties.
There is a fundamental difference between the two.
But Xiao Lin never expected that [Loki Familia] would be so tolerant of an outsider.
The return journey afterwards went smoothly, like a reward for the warriors who passed the final level. The [Loki Familia] group did not encounter any monsters, not even one.
I don’t know if the dungeon understood that the monsters on the upper level could not cause them any trouble, or if they came out they would just deliver food to them so they let them go. Anyway, they didn’t encounter any monsters along the way.
Burt, the violent werewolf who couldn't vent his anger, was very unhappy. On his way back, he frantically looked for the LV2 Minotaur.
The purpose is naturally to catch up with Aisi.
But he also didn’t think about it, how could there be a Minotaur on the fifth floor?
Oh no, it really does.
That cowardly rabbit who was just chased will be accompanied by the Minotaur for the rest of his life. I hope he will not be persecuted by the Minotaur again in the future, Ah...Aqua!
Half an hour later, we arrived on the ground.
The cold and depressing atmosphere dissipated under the evening sun, and the members of the [Loki Familia] expedition smiled happily.
At this time, the sound that came like a wave was full of fear.
"Look, those people!"
"It's the gathering of stars for first-level adventurers!"
"That flag... [Loki Familia]? No way! They are back from the expedition!"
"But who is that man? Is he a newcomer?"
[Loki Familia] is indeed a star Familia. They will become the center of attention when they appear in Orario. There are even some passers-by who are not afraid of death and whistle at the Familia women.
"This is really passionate."
Xiao Lin raised his eyebrows.
He has also experienced this kind of treatment, that is, when he intercepted the Mobile Fortress Destroyer and became the Axel Hero, even some bold girls would come up to him and want to have in-depth communication with him.
The brave Finn sighed helplessly, obviously he also felt a headache in this situation.
But there is no way.
That's what popular people are like.
"It seems that we can no longer travel together." The brave Finn said with a slightly apologetic expression: "Sorry, I seem to have brought you trouble."
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm grateful to you for taking care of me." Xiao Lin waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.
"Then...see you again by fate?"
"See you soon."
He waved his hand and turned around to leave. But he patted his head again, as if remembering something, and stopped.
"I forgot, there is a reward."
"forget it."
"No, no, this is what we agreed to do."
Xiao Lin took out a piece of ore from his arms and threw it to the extraordinary Raul.
"Mr. Raul, here's the reward for helping me."
"Eh?"
"I noticed that your weapons are just ordinary long swords and long bows. How is this possible? You are still a LV4 adventurer anyway. It's too shabby."
"This, this..."
Superhuman Raul scratched his head in embarrassment.
The luxurious sword covered with multiple magic stones was said to be an ordinary long sword, and he didn't know what expression to use.
When the brave Finn saw that he wanted to refuse, he spoke first: "Just accept it, Raul."
"Captain?" Raul glanced at Finn in surprise.
"This is the gentleman's intention. You shouldn't refuse, right?"
"……All right."
Under the persuasion of the brave Finn, he accepted the magic stone.
"very good."
Xiao Lin nodded with satisfaction.
The other party will definitely not accept the money. After all, he is a LV4 adventurer and an elite member of the [Loki Familia]. There is no way he will be short of such a small amount of money. Even if you give magic stones and materials, it's the same. LV4 adventurers really look down on the upper-level things.
The only thing that could help Raul without money was the ultra-rare Adamantite ore in this world.
Finn, the clever brave man, naturally understands Xiaolin's purpose of doing this, so he accepts it for his own members. After all, this is the other person's intention after all, isn't it?
Besides, it's just a piece of ore, so how rare can it be?
Then, Xiaolin said to the brave Finn: "Also, I am not [this gentleman], my name is Xiaolin."
"I'm Finn, please give me some advice."
"Please give me more advice."
The little human wearing golden armor smiled and gently shook his hands, one big and one small.
This move made the passersby seem to have discovered some big news. The voices around him suddenly became noisy, and they looked at Xiao Lin with curiosity and inquiry.
It is estimated that strange news will come out tomorrow.
"……Feel sorry."
"fine."
The eye-catching Xiao Lin waved his hand, then turned and left.
"Little brother, see you later if you have the chance!" the lively black Piediona raised her hands cheerfully and shouted, and at the same time said to the silent werewolf Bert beside her: "It's really strange, you don't speak?"
"You need to take care of it, idiot Amazon!"
"Ah, back to normal."
The werewolf Bert had a bad mouth as always, which made Tiona relax.
The brave Finn looked at Xiaolin's back and said meaningfully: "Burt, you can have a little contact with him, I won't mind."
"Tsk, who wants to get in contact with him, that weirdo." Bert curled his lips.
Tiona came over and teased: "Are you arrogant?"
"Do you want to die?"
"Ah, I'm angry."
Seeing the werewolf Burt becoming irritable, she quickly hid behind her sister.
At this time, Lefiya saw Ais beside her, deep in thought, and asked curiously: "Miss Ais, what's wrong with you?"
"...It's okay." Ais shook her head, looked at Xiao Lin's back and said, "It's just that person's weapon that makes me a little concerned."
"Perhaps the attack method is very novel." Brave Finn spoke.
"Yeah." Ais nodded.
Using silk thread as a weapon can't be said to be uncommon. It can be said that I have never seen it before, so I will naturally be curious.
The most important thing is that Xiaolin said that he is LV1 and it is his first time in the dungeon. Being able to defeat more than a dozen Minotaurs so easily must be different from ordinary people.
Why is he so strong, Aisi wants to know.
"I have a feeling that we will meet again in the future. Now..." Brave Finn withdrew his gaze and said to the tired group: "Let's go back to the Familia station."
"Oh!!!" xN
The [Loki Familia] expedition team ended the expedition with unsatisfactory results.
Xiao Lin returned to the hotel.
The first time I went to the dungeon, I gained so much. What if I went there every day?
Presumably in a short time, he will become LV2, buy an artifact forged by the God of Vulcan, and reach the pinnacle of his life!
Float, float, float.
Among the materials brought back, the magic stones and materials dropped by Goliath accounted for the largest proportion of value.
And this LV4 floor master only refreshes once every two weeks. In addition, his current strength is not enough, it is absolutely impossible to gain so much every day.
Of course, his biggest concern isn't money.
But proficiency.
Xiao Lin carefully took out a small bottle from his arms. Inside was a sky-blue liquid with a rich divine nature. When he shook it gently, he could smell a pure breath that calmed the mood.
——Divine blood.
To be precise, it's Aqua's blood.
To renew your proficiency, you need the blood of a god. Every time you travel across the world, you need to expend your divine power, and that stingy, stupid goddess feels very distressed.
But he couldn't bring Aqua across the world, so he had to bring her blood here, but he didn't know if it would be effective.
"Liu Zi, please."
"Yes, Master Xiaolin."
Passing the small bottle over, Xiao Lin breathed a sigh of relief as the blue light flashed past. After taking the bottle from Liu Zi and placing it carefully in his arms, he lowered his head and looked at the parchment.
【Xiao Lin? ? ? 】
LV1
Power: i99
Durability: i85
Dexterity: h142
Agility: h108
Magic: i69
Skill: [Hero from another world]
Magic: [parody]
hiss----
Xiao Lin took a breath, and his proficiency level increased by more than 500 points!
Is this the dungeon?
Love it, love it!
But isn’t the increase in magic power a bit small? Am I not a great mage? The increase in magic power is the least. It’s a bit strange no matter how you think about it.
It seems that I will use magic more in the future.
In dungeons, increasing proficiency requires corresponding methods. If you want to increase your strength, you must attack, if you want to increase your agility, you must run, and if you want to increase your magic power, you must use more magic.
The reason why his dexterity value is so high is because he has been fighting with silk thread.
Forget it, don’t think about this anymore, you have worked hard enough today to reward yourself!
"I think you want to go to that pub."
"If you know it, don't say it."
Xiaolin was able to make such great progress, and the crusade against a large number of tauren had a certain impact, but it was most likely due to Ota's guidance, so he went to the tavern to hint to the beautiful god not to stop this kind of guidance.
night.
Xiao Lin walked happily towards South Street and soon arrived at the door of the pub.
【The Mistress of Abundance】
This place is still as lively as before. After all, it is Freya's place, and there are many lovely maids and waitresses. It is normal for them to be popular.
But before he stepped in, he heard a drake-like voice coming from inside with an obvious sense of ridicule.
"Hahaha! It's so funny. That guy was forced to the wall like a rabbit! He was shaking all over. It's really pitiful to see, and his expression is still twitching! Hahaha——"
It's Burt the werewolf.
It's Bell.
The adventurers in the tavern also burst into laughter when they heard his story, and they seemed to be enjoying it.
His mouth was really bad, and he was very loud, and seemed to get louder and louder. Especially when he compares himself with the weak newcomers, it makes him look even less classy.
Suddenly, there was a sound of a chair falling, and then a thin white figure came out of it, and bumped into Xiao Lin in a panic.
"……sorry."
The thin boy with white hair and red eyes gritted his teeth with a strong look of resignation. After a low voice, he apologized in a low voice and ran away without even looking at Xiao Lin, quickly disappearing into the night.
As expected of a rabbit, it runs so fast.
Xiao Lin sighed.
"Mr. Bell!...Huh? Mr. Xiaolin?"
A figure rushed out of the tavern chasing Bell, but was obviously taken aback when he saw Xiao Lin at the door.
"Ms. Hill, just now..."
"It's okay, it's just a small matter."
Hill didn't want to say more, as if he didn't want Bell's incident to affect Xiao Lin.
At this moment, the sharp-eyed Aniya jumped up to Xiao Lin and looked at him with expectant eyes. It wasn't until Xiao Lin put his hand on her furry head that she smiled contentedly.
"Brother! Welcome!"
"Um……"
Being called brother by someone who is stronger than him (LV4), Xiaolin's mood is a bit complicated.
"Let go, Aniya, you are causing great trouble to the guest!" Hill lectured Aniya as usual.
Aniya curled her lips unhappily and whispered: "It doesn't matter, my brother doesn't mind anyway."
"That won't work either, let go!"
"I got it."
Anya reluctantly let go of her hand.
Then, this keen cat-eared girl seemed to have discovered something and asked, "Brother, I seem to be in a good mood today. What happened?"
"Oh, you discovered it."
It seems that Aniya is not a heartless fool who just laughs and laughs.
Xiao Lin smiled and said: "If you want to talk about a good thing... indeed, I met an old friend, if I can be regarded as a friend."
"Old friend? Then you must have had a very pleasant communication!"
"That's right! We had a good fight!"
"……Um?"
"Then I got beat up!"
"--Um???"
Is it something to be happy about being beaten up? By the way, these are not old friends, but mortal enemies! They start fighting when they meet, what kind of old friends are they!
"Then, um... are you okay, Onii-sama?"
"where?"
"Brain."
"……Hello!"
Aniya's words were a bit irritating.
But the cat-eared girl defended herself: "Because, I am happy to be beaten up, but it doesn't look right, brother."
"Indeed, Lord Xiaolin. You have been very strange since you came here. Could it be that you have awakened a strange hobby like Lord Darkness." Liu Zi's poisonous tongue followed.
Even Hill expressed concern: "I know an elf healer, why not let him take a look."
"You guys..." Xiao Lin rolled his eyes at them angrily and explained: "I'm happy because he is very strong, like a towering mountain. Now I can only look up."
"Eh? Don't you, brother, feel powerless when you encounter a strong enemy?"
"how come!"
In their confused expressions, the man grinned, with strong confidence, and loudly said: "I will become stronger! I will defeat him! I have no doubt about this! No matter what kind of mountain it is, , I will eventually climb and cross over neatly!"
At this time, Xiaolin's soul shines brightly!
