"What, you went to the second floor?!"
On a peaceful morning, there was a loud exclamation in the Orario Adventurer Guild, which deeply attracted other busy guild staff and adventurers.
At this time, Xiao Lin quickly covered the mouth of the half-elf employee sitting opposite.
"Shh——, the sound is too loud, Miss Eina!"
"Hmmmm~~~"
Although the intimate gesture was a bit rude, it was innocuous compared to what she had just done.
It wasn't until Aina signaled him to calm down with her eyes that Xiaolin slowly let go of his hand.
It's just the second floor. Newbies with a little bit of strength can go there to defeat monsters to improve their strength. I don't understand what she is excited about. Those who don't know think that Xiaolin went to the 20th floor for the first time.
But Aegina had such a big stress reaction because of a reckless skinny rabbit yesterday.
It was okay to go down to the 5th floor rashly, but she happened to encounter the LV2 Minotaur. Eina, who was determined not to let him and Xiaolin die, naturally became anxious.
We have just entered the dungeon and are on the second floor. We are not allowed to go to the fifth floor tomorrow. We are not allowed to go to the safe zone the day after tomorrow. In another month, we are not allowed to catch up with adventurers above level one to go to the 58th floor for adventure?
Is this a big deal? !
Seeing that the half-elf lady was angry, Xiao Lin quickly waved his hand and said: "Miss Eina, it's just the second floor. You're too nervous. That's a floor that even novices can go to."
At the same time, he was also secretly glad that he didn't tell the truth, otherwise he would not have been punished to death if he told her that he had gone to the 17th floor?
The top floor, or the 1st to 4th floors.
The monsters are all about the same strength, and even novice adventurers won't be in much danger if they pay a little attention.
Xiaolin's casual look made Eina very angry. She put on a serious expression and lectured: "Listen up! Rumor has it that the dungeon has the power to constantly attract adventurers to the dangerous lower levels, so you must be cautious when taking risks. That’s it!”
"Miss Aina, it's too close..."
Xiao Lin leaned back while holding her shoulders.
As if to increase her persuasion, Aina kept moving closer to Xiao Lin, her pretty face only a few centimeters away from his. Unexpectedly, the opponent's momentum was so strong that he was suppressed all of a sudden.
However, Eina was not shy or embarrassed, but still asked forcefully:
"What's the answer?"
"...I know, I know."
Agree quickly.
After she was satisfied to let Xiao Lin go, she secretly wiped her sweaty forehead.
It was an aura that would scare even the gods. For a moment, I thought I was meeting a boss.
"But Miss Eina, I actually didn't stay too long when I went to the second floor this time." Xiaolin defended himself, while pointing to a few magic stone fragments placed on the counter and said: "Look, there are only a few gains. That’s proof.”
"Yeah... indeed."
Eina held her chin and thought for a moment, seeming to be convinced.
Xiaolin deliberately avoided the materials he had obtained before and replaced them with Farley early on, leaving only these magic stone fragments on his body.
"But you can't go to the lower floors that don't match your strength, especially the floors after the fifth floor. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand!"
Xiao Lin raised his right hand in a funny way.
She says hers and I do mine, as long as the other party doesn't know about it, that's fine.
This man didn't have the slightest idea to explain, just because he was frightened by Eina's strength just now, he subconsciously forgot about it.
At this time, Eina saw the gorgeous girl sitting quietly next to Xiaolin, and finally couldn't hold back her inner curiosity and asked: "Mr. Xiaolin, is this lady your companion?"
"Yes! She is my most trusted companion!"
Xiao Lin looked proud.
Liu Zi also took the opportunity to introduce herself: "I'm sorry, I'm very sorry for not telling my name in time. I am Liu Zi. I am Lord Xiaolin's waiter and someone who helps him solve problems. Please take good care of me in the future, Lady Eina. .”
The girl elegantly lifted up her skirt and saluted Eina with a perfect posture.
Because she looked too aristocratic, the half-elf girl quickly stood up and placed her hands folded on her lower abdomen in return. It was obvious that Liu Zi's behavior put a lot of pressure on her.
"I am the one, please take care of Miss Liuzi."
But suddenly I noticed something was wrong.
Aina looked at Xiao Lin strangely and asked, "What about solving problems?"
"Supporter! It's a supporter!"
Without giving Liu Zi a chance to speak, Xiao Lin quickly answered and covered the mouth of his poisonous-tongued waiter.
It would be bad if you were misunderstood!
"Supporters?" Eina had obvious doubts in her eyes, but she quickly said with admiration: "Supporters are necessary in dungeons. Not only can they help adventurers pick up materials to improve efficiency, but they can also help in times of crisis. As a warning, adventurers and supporters complement each other. If there is a supporter, the survival rate will be greatly increased!"
The premise of all adventures is to stay alive, and the combination of Xiaolin and Liu Zi makes Aina very satisfied.
"Although I really want to tell you to give up, Xiaolin, it seems that you have no such intention, right?"
"Yes, not at all."
"I won't ask you why, but you must be careful in the dungeon, you hear me!"
"I see!"
Xiaolin's decisive answer made Eina sigh softly.
Adventurers are a group of people who don't listen to advice. She knew this long ago when she became a consultant to several adventurers.
Even though he knew that the dungeon was such a dangerous place, he still took risks one after another, and then lost his life in vain. So she secretly decided not to allow Xiao Lin to die.
therefore……
"Come on, it's time for tutoring!"
"……No----!!!"
In the end, I still haven’t escaped the tutoring hell.
The tutoring continued until the afternoon, and Eina took the opportunity to escape after she started to get busy.
"Master Xiaolin, where are you going now?"
"Needless to say, of course it's the dungeon!"
Xiao Lin did not go straight to the towering chalk tower in the distance. Instead, he led Liu Zi to a secluded alley.
Then he took the initiative to hold Liu Zi's hand.
Seeing this, the elegant waiter spoke venomously: "Master Xiaolin, I already understand your desire, but it is still daytime. Please be patient for a little longer. At the very least, please go back to the hotel to do it."
"...Don't think of me as a scumbag who thinks about that kind of thing, okay."
He couldn't help but roll his eyes at her.
The upper level monsters are of little use to him and cannot increase his proficiency much at all. It would take a lot of time to get to the middle level, so he planned to use the [Dimensional Square] to move.
Although each move requires a lot of energy, it doesn't hurt if you can use magic stones to replenish it.
"Okay, let's go!"
In a hidden corner, purple light flashed, and Xiao Lin and Liu Zi disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was already in a dark and depressing underground city.
Floor 16
Probably because of the [Monster Feast] that happened before, there are very few Minotaurs here, far less than there were before.
But Xiao Lin was not going to let it go.
After all, she loves the God of War Gossamer Minotaur!
"yahoo~~~~"
Xiao Lin gave a strange cry and rushed towards the confused tauren in the distance. Ten minutes later, when he came back with a happy face, there was not a single tauren in sight on the entire 16th floor.
But don’t worry about another riot.
Because unlike last time, except for the tauren, he did not kill monsters such as lion-toothed beasts, horned rabbits, and hellhounds, but still kept them wandering in the dungeon.
I really care about the ecological environment.
Under Liu Zi's service, he wiped off the stains on his face and took a short rest before arriving at the 17th floor.
The floor master, the LV4 Goliath, has been cut in half by Otta, so he has no burden at all when he comes down. And it doesn't matter even if there is an unexpected accident. Anyway, with Liu Zi here, he can escape with him.
But when he arrived at the main room of the floor, which was the exit of the 16th floor, a black shadow fell from the sky with a fierce aura.
Sneak attack? !
Xiao Lin's eyes narrowed, and he bent his legs and moved back to distance himself.
boom--
The black shadow hit the ground hard, and if he hadn't dodged in time, he might have been injured.
The smoke raised made it difficult to see the figure inside, but soon Xiaolin reflected the figure of the werewolf from the black shadow and knew who he was.
"Burt?"
Xiao Lin raised his eyebrows in surprise.
He really didn't expect that the person coming would be Bert. The most important thing was that it seemed that this werewolf had been waiting for him here a long time ago.
The smoke dissipated, revealing the figure inside.
The wolf has silver-white hair under its ears, has lightning-shaped tattoos on its unruly face, wears an adventurer's special leather jacket, and has a wagging tail behind it.
There is no doubt that the person coming is none other than the [Ferocious Wolf].
The werewolf Bert raised his head slightly and looked at Xiao Lin with a stern look, and at the same time cursed unhappily: "You weirdo is wasting your time on the upper level. Do you know how long I have been waiting for you here?"
"Wait for me?" Xiao Lin asked doubtfully, "I'm sorry, I don't think I have any agreement with you, Bert."
In other words, their relationship isn't good enough to go down dungeons together.
"What a shame! I'm here for revenge! That's right, revenge for the humiliation you caused me before!" The werewolf Bert clenched his fists and glared at Xiao Lin fiercely.
But the more Xiao Lin listened, the more confused he became. He didn't remember that he had a grudge against the werewolf Bert.
The werewolf Bert shouted angrily: "You weirdo...! Have you forgotten that when I was tied up by you in the tavern, I became the laughing stock of other people!"
"Is that so? I'm really sorry."
Xiao Lin remembered what he did to Bert in the pub last night. But he didn't apologize in the slightest.
Whoever made this guy have such a bad mouth always deliberately made things difficult for him. How could he vent his inner resentment if he didn't take revenge.
"Just right! Your weirdo's weapons seem to be very interesting, and your attack methods are also very unique. Let me test how strong you are." The expression of the werewolf Burt became more and more ferocious, reaching a level that could scare a child. .
However, the more he behaved like this, the more Xiao Lin seemed to understand something.
"Burt, you...shouldn't have come to teach me specifically."
"Huh?! What nonsense are you talking about all of a sudden, you weirdo!"
"Because you are a Level 5 adventurer. If you want to make a sneak attack, I can't react at all as I am Level 1. But you just made such a big splash. It's obvious at first glance that it was intentional."
"...I'm not that free!"
The werewolf Bert denied it for a while, and then without giving Xiao Lin a chance to speak, he rushed towards Xiao Lin with the wind at his feet.
Urgent, urgent.
"Master Xiao Lin, why don't you let me train this crazy puppy." Liu Zi volunteered and stood in front of Xiao Lin.
Only a vicious-tongued woman would dare to demote a level 5 adventurer named Fierce Wolf into a puppy.
But Liu Zi does have the qualifications to say it.
After all, the [Imaginary Number Switch] that can enter imaginary time is a sure-fire move that is absolutely impossible to defend against for ordinary people.
"No, I'll do it."
Xiao Lin refused.
Bert, like Ota, is here to gain experience. How could he let go of this great opportunity?
Seeing Liu Zi retreating, Xiao Lin stepped forward and crossed his hands to block the tricky kick. Burt looked down at Xiao Lin and taunted loudly: "That's right, I didn't let that weak scum get beaten for you. I quite appreciate you. This way, I can beat you up without mercy!"
"Really? Then Bert must use all his strength to show me how big the gap is between himself and the LV5 expert!"
Xiaolin used both arms to push away his pressing right leg.
But Bert grinned evilly, and pressed his right leg down again.
"The gap is so big!"
boom--
Xiao Lin was forced to the ground.
No skills, no magic, just physical fitness alone completely crushed Xiao Lin.
The LV5 strong man is so terrifying!
However, there is no way to fight back.
There was a flash of purple light under Xiaolin's feet, and Bert's long legs failed. Before he could react, he was hit hard in the face.
The big feet of size 42 are imprinted on Bert's face!
If the LV2 Minotaur had suffered this kick, he would have been kicked several meters away, not to mention dying on the spot. But Burt just staggered and took a step, and quickly adjusted his posture.
"You guy...!"
Bert became even more angry.
But Xiaolin was even more convinced that Bert came to guide him specifically.
Although his arrogance just now seemed like he was teasing himself, the werewolf Burt in fighting state would not be so careless. There must be other reasons.
However--
"You guys, how dare you embarrass me like this..."
While talking, werewolf Bert took out a dagger with several magic stones on it. Then the magic stone suddenly raised a huge wave of flames, which was then absorbed by the metal boots under its feet.
laugh--
The boots actually made a machine-like sound.
[Metal Boots·Frosvelt]
This is Orario's only special weapon with magic absorption properties, and it is also Wolf Burt's strongest weapon and fighting method.
It also means that he has to get serious.
"Wait, wait! Foul, foul! Burt, aren't you here to teach me! What's going on with using magic and special weapons!"
"Who cares! You weirdo, go to hell!"
The fierce heat waves continued to shoot out from the boots, coupled with the werewolf Burt's unique fighting method-physical and fighting skills, making Xiaolin keep running back and forth on the 17th floor, like a panicked lamb. Extremely embarrassed.
For a moment, flames shot into the sky and explosions continued.
If this continues, the entire dungeon will be affected.
"Hurry up, run away, hahaha————"
Seeing the crazy werewolf Burt behind him, Xiao Lin couldn't help gritting his teeth.
It was you who forced me!
There was a sinister glint in his eyes.
I wanted to get along with you as a novice adventurer, but I didn't expect to be treated so cruelly in exchange.
Stop pretending, show your cards.
I have a big move!
While being chased, Xiao Lin's feet flashed with purple light, and he suddenly appeared next to the werewolf Burt.
This was a teleportation point that he had secretly set up a long time ago, just to counter the opponent.
"Do you think I haven't thought of this! Your weapons are very strange and your tricks are very hidden, but as long as you keep a distance, you won't be afraid!"
Werewolf Burt's boots spurted out a wave of heat, and he accelerated his feet, instantly widening the distance without giving the thread a chance to tighten.
However, as soon as he landed, several threads of silk threads tied him up. The other end was in Xiao Lin's hand.
"What?!"
"Hmph, do you think I didn't think of it? It's because you know this that I brought you to such a small space. Take a closer look. You are in the best position and only As a werewolf, you have such exaggerated fighting intuition, but I took advantage of this in you."
I predicted your prediction!
"But it can't trap me! Your silk thread seems to be resistant to high temperatures, but it will be burned out soon, and you will still be beaten up by then!" Bert threatened viciously.
You're not covering up anymore, are you?
But Xiao Lin said: "It doesn't matter, as long as it can last for 3 minutes!"
At the same time, a terrifying magic power surged from his body.
This made the werewolf Bert feel bad, and he couldn't help but asked loudly: "What on earth are you going to do, you weirdo!"
However, Xiao Lin did not answer because he was chanting a spell.
"Blacker than black,
Darker than darkness,
Entrust me with your true red golden light here!
The time of awakening has come,
The fallen constitution of the absurd church,
Become invisible distortion and manifest!
——Explosion! "
A huge fireball appeared from the top of the floor and fell downwards with terrifying pressure. When the werewolf Bert saw it, his whole body felt bad.
"You weirdo, you actually...!"
But there was no chance for him to speak.
boom------!
World Peace!
There was a sudden strong vibration on the 16th floor connecting the upper and lower floors and the 18th floor below. The adventurers in the safe area rushed to the upper floor to see the cause. But when they came to the upper floor, they only saw the walls (note, not the floor) of the 17th floor. It was exploded horizontally) and there was nothing left outside the area of tens of meters and the crystallized edge.
And the person who started it has long since disappeared.
————
evening.
The werewolf Burt returned to the family camp with a displeased look on his face.
Since the station was a building similar to a large mansion and everyone lived here, he was discovered as soon as he entered.
It was nothing at first, but who told him to be in tatters all over his body now? Speaking of which, I was surrounded by those people when I was walking on the street.
That weirdo actually made himself so embarrassed.
The most important thing is that the super powerful magic actually misses on purpose. Is it humiliating myself? !
Bert couldn't help but grit his teeth.
"Ah, it's Bert!"
A cheerful voice came from the side.
Tsk, trouble is coming.
Bethel didn't even want the black-skinned Amazon who wanted to come over, and just wanted to leave.
But she wasn't the only one. Also with Diona were the three giants of the Familia clan, and the swordswoman Ais who had just returned from shopping with Lefia.
The brave Finn took advantage of the situation and asked: "How is it, Bert? Did you teach him well?"
"No, no, no, no matter how you look at it, Burt must have been defeated. He is in tatters." Tiona said cheerfully.
"Shut up, idiot Amazon!"
The werewolf Bert turned back to glare at her in displeasure.
Under Finn's probing, he concluded: "That weirdo is just so-so."
Then he left without answering.
Even though it was a negative comment, it was enough to surprise Finn and others.
"Liar, that unruly Bert can actually say so-so, and the other party is a LV1 adventurer?" Tiona couldn't help but exclaimed after the werewolf Bert left.
The brave Finn was also surprised and said: "I didn't expect Xiaolin to be recognized by Bert. It seems that he is indeed different from ordinary people. In this way, it will be understandable for Ota to come into contact with him."
It was he who facilitated the werewolf Burt's search for Xiao Lin.
After all, [Freya Familia] always does some bad things. The friction between the two families makes them quite sensitive, so Xiaolin's appearance has to make Finn pay attention.
It seems that we need to contact him again.
On the other side, the silent Sword Girl Ais also had an inexplicable light flashing in her eyes, and she didn't know what she was thinking on her naturally dazed little face.
