I like crossing the most

Chapter 254 When this battle is over, I will go back to my hometown...

"The above is how I met Horta."

In order to resolve the crisis of trust, Kobayashi revealed everything about his encounter with Goddess Freya in the desert.

After all, it is a fact, and there is nothing to hide.

"So that's it, that's it. You really worked hard, Mr. Xiaolin."

After listening to his narration, members of the [Loki Familia] patted him on the shoulder with sympathy.

She didn't seem to doubt it, because that unrestrained goddess was still very free even in the labyrinth city, and often caused trouble for them [Loki Familia].

Indeed, from their point of view, being asked to be a guard by a wayward goddess, and then being targeted by the strongest man in the labyrinth city, must be the most unlucky thing.

But Kobayashi is lucky here.

Whether it is getting [Grace] or being [Guided], it is a rare benefit for him.

Finn and Riveria looked at each other.

Like the information they received, what Goddess Freya did in the desert had already been heard in their ears, and combined with Kobayashi's retelling that filled in the blanks, they were indeed not lying.

"Captain! The camp is ready."

At this time, Extraordinary Flower came to report.

The hustle and bustle of preparing for camping continued to sound around, and the voices of the members giving instructions to each other came and went, mixed with the busy figures in and out.

As the stakes were smashed into the ground, the ropes and cloth were gradually pulled apart, and tents were erected one by one.

Right now they are at tier 50.

Like the 18th floor, this is a safe floor where no monsters will appear, and they are currently on a break.

According to the original regulations, after the two troops converged on the 18th floor, they went straight to the 50th floor in the deep zone.

Everyone camped on the boulder that could overlook the entire floor.

Since this floor lacks a light source, it seems to be in twilight, so magic stone lamps are tied to various places.

But even so, the line of sight is not enough.

And after Kobayashi finished speaking, other people in the Loki family also began to whisper, but the object of the discussion was not him, but other people in the family.

"I said, what's the matter with Bert..."

"I just wanted to ask!"

"Don't you feel rougher than usual?"

The first-level adventurers of the Loki family... To be precise, they are the people who have seen Bell fight in the depths of the 9th floor-the Amazon sisters, the werewolf Burt, and the sword princess Ais. They couldn't calm down for a moment, wandering around without saying a word.

The brave Finn who was instructing the base camp also sighed at these young and restless first-level adventurers.

He said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Xiao Lin, it must have been hard work."

"Where, I just ran with everyone and didn't do anything." Xiao Lin shook his head.

I don't know if you have the experience of riding a bicycle with hundreds of people.

In fact, this large group is not as bloated as imagined. If they want to speed up, they only need a few windbreakers in front, and even a little wind inside the group is not affected by it, as if they are being led forward.

The same goes for Kobayashi.

[Loki Familiars] Some people will be willful. After the 18th floor, they will switch every few floors, so that every first-level adventurer has time to play and rest, so they will come to the 6th floor in just 50 days.

During this period, Xiaolin didn't have a chance to make a move except to use his [eyes] to tell them to pay attention to the direction of the monster's attack from time to time.

Coupled with the magic that often helps them heal, this makes him a solid name for the support staff.

"Thanks to you, Xiao Lin, that boy was able to be rescued smoothly."

Brave Finn suddenly changed the subject.

Obviously, he also thought of the scene when he first used magic.

It was on the 9th floor, the back of the boy who tried his best to start a decisive battle with the bull and passed out after winning the victory.

The moment the battle ended, Kobayashi immediately stepped forward and used healing magic to heal Bell's wounds.It's just that because of mental exhaustion, he didn't wake up at that time.

There was also Lily, the little human who was lying in a corner, unconscious with blood on her head.

After obtaining the consent of the brave Finn, Kobayashi sent the two of them to the treatment room of the Tower of Babel, and called the guild guards to report to the guild that the Minotaur had appeared on the upper floor.

After the guild staff left, a young goddess rushed in.

Hestia may have heard that the family members had been sent here, so Hestia hurried over wearing the clothes of a part-time worker in a shop. Looking at the white-haired and thin boy, Quiet Water Lily, he held his right hand tightly, with tears in his eyes.

Kobayashi and Swordswoman Ais, who were about to leave, explained to her what had happened.

"……thank you all."

Hestia is not an unreasonable goddess. She knows that her children are constantly pushing themselves to catch up with the person they yearn for, but since Bell has such a wish, she should silently support her behind.

After listening to her thanks, Kobayashi nodded and left here with Aisi.

Later, the two hurried back to the dungeon, and soon joined Finn and Grace, who led the second echelon.

The Amazon sisters, Werewolf Bert and others who were stimulated by the performance of "Youth Fighting Bull" enthusiastically challenged it, and with the help of Kobayashi's "eyes", they reached the 6th floor in just 50 days.

After setting up camp, everyone began to eat.

In order to be vigilant, they formed a large circle in the center of the camp around a bonfire. Like the previous expeditions, they ate very well this time.

In order to comfort and maintain morale, the meals distributed are very rich.

There are meat, fruit, dry food, and delicious soup.

"Here, Xiaolin."

"Thank you."

After receiving the food handed over by the brave Finn, Kobayashi expressed his gratitude.

At the same time, the senior blacksmiths of [Hephaestus Familia] also joined in, eating and drinking lively.

A one-eyed, big-breasted female blacksmith named Tsubaki came here to sit down with jerky and a bowl, and asked curiously, "You didn't look quite right along the way, what's wrong?"

Just like what Kobayashi said before, in order to maintain the speed of progress, the brave Finn arranged the switching of personnel early.

But the few people who were stimulated left others aside to show their power, so that other people who didn't know the reason are still very confused.

At this time, Tiona, who was devouring her food, said, "On the way to the 18th floor, we met a super-exaggerated adventurer, so I can't sit still now!"

"Oh? What's your name?"

"Cron Bernie?"

"It's Bell Clowney!"

Hearing Tiona say the outrageous name and Tsubaki was about to write it down, Kobayashi couldn't help correcting her.

"Yeah, write it down and write it down..."

Tsubaki didn't care at all, and still had a funny conversation with Tiona.

Then she looked at Kobayashi again, with curiosity in her one-eyed eyes.

"What's wrong, looking at me like that?"

"It's nothing, I just find it strange. My little brother, you can come to the deep part of the dungeon with the members of the Loki family. It seems that you have potential, how about telling me your name?"

Don't get me wrong, she doesn't mean anything else.

It is simply to write down the names of promising adventurers-weapon users, in order to do better business in the future.

"Xiao Lin, just call me Xiao Lin."

"Okay, make a note of it."

Another name was written down, Tsubaki seemed very happy.

After eating, Kobayashi and the others formed a circle around Finn and began to make the final confirmation for the future.

"Come on, let's have one last discussion."

Looking at the companions who came up, the team leader Finn said bluntly: "As I told everyone in advance, starting from the 51st floor, a selected team will attack, and the rest will defend the camp with [Hephaestus Familia]."

Starting at tier 51, even supporters must have a minimum ability.

The more people marching together, the more time-consuming and labor-intensive it will be to get up, so in order to pay attention to the mobility of the team, only the elite of the [Familiars] can go to unreached areas.

After a full rest, tomorrow will attack the unreached areas.

"Staff for me, Riveria, Grace..."

Without any hesitation, Finn reported the names of seven people, including the family leader lineup and cadres.

They are the best of the best and must go together.

After hearing the name, they all geared up.

Then, there are the team members in charge of support.

"Supporters include Raul, Refia..."

The elf girl whose name was called couldn't help but tremble.

Even though she knew it beforehand, Refia secretly swallowed her saliva when she heard that she was selected.

The supporters are all LV4, and only her, the elf magister, is LV3.

She tensed quietly.

At this time, a hand was placed on her shoulder.

The girl who thought it was Ais looked at it with a moved expression, but it turned out to be a man.

"Mr. Kobayashi..."

"Don't be so depressed, I can't figure out whether it's because of going to the lower level or because of me."

"No, it's not like that..."

"It's ok."

The nervous elf girl wanted to apologize, but Kobayashi waved his hand and didn't care: "I just want to say don't be nervous, because there is still my LV2."

Suddenly, the head of the stage, Finn, said the last name: "Xiao Lin, although this is very reluctant, I need your eyes, can you please come with me?"

"Of course, that's my raison d'être, isn't it."

Kobayashi agreed without hesitation, and at the same time winked at Refiya who was nervous beside her, signaling that she could relax a little.

The elf girl who was comforted was moved and clenched her wand tightly, while sighing secretly in her heart.

It would be great if the person who comforted her could be the longed-for Sword Princess.

Hearing Kobayashi's answer, Finn nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay. Those who stay in the camp, if those new kinds of monsters appear, use [Magic Sword] and [Magic] to deal with them from a long distance. The guards must be vigilant and keep the monsters away! An Qi, I will leave the command to you."

"Yes."

Following the arrangement of each note, the entire Loki family began to operate in an orderly manner.

In a short while, all the matters were communicated.

Chun, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly got up, and his tone suddenly became high: "Then, first give what should be given!"

She winked at her companion behind her, who immediately took out an object wrapped in a huge white cloth from the package.

Spread it out to reveal what's inside.

is a weapon.

"This is a weapon with indestructible attributes that you ordered!"

Tsubaki proudly introduced to everyone.

There are a total of five weapons here, obviously not for the supporters.

Soon the weapons will be distributed.

Finally, the head of the group, Finn, said: "For tomorrow, we will be disbanded. The guards will change shifts every four hours."

Following this instruction, the members of the regiment began to disperse.

Xiaolin did not go back to his tent, but stood at the highest point and looked around.

Tsubaki and Ace, Tiona and Grace, Dione and Refia, Finn and Burt, Riveria and Raul.

Experienced old people continue to convey the spirit of the newborn blood of the family members, and continue to lead them to thrive.

This is the atmosphere of [Loki Familia].

home atmosphere.

"Master Xiaolin, don't go to rest now, are you planning to attack a certain girl at night? Or are you peeking with your own eyes?"

Beside him was a waiter with a poisonous tongue who was still charming even though the light was not obvious.

Kobayashi shook his head: "It's not peeking, if you can, please call it patrolling."

Even so, his expression was a little off.

"Master Kobayashi..."

"Don't worry, it's just a little homesick."

Probably infected by the way of getting along with the [Rocky Familia], Kobayashi also missed the time when he lived with Aqua and the other problem children in "Su Qing".

Xiao Lin said to Liu Zi: "So, let's go home after this entrustment is over."

However, the waiter at the side spoke viciously: "Master Xiao Lin, under normal circumstances, words like 'go home and get married', 'go home after this time is over', etc., often do not have good results."

"Hey, don't say that!"

Xiao Lin, who was interrupted, could only sigh and said, "I see, don't set up the flag casually, is that what you mean?"

"Yes. It's great that Kobayashi-sama understands."

"That's why everyone said stop being harsh, the atmosphere is gone."

He also wanted to take advantage of the situation to let Liu Zi comfort him, but he didn't expect to be spoiled by the other party's poisonous tongue, and suddenly lost his mind.

But in the next second, his head was hugged in the girl's inconspicuous chest.

"Liu Zi?"

"It's okay, I will always be by your side, Master Xiaolin."

The doll girl's soft comfort made Kobayashi so relieved.

----

In the depths of the labyrinth where there is no sunrise or sunset, only the hands of the clock tell everyone that the next morning has arrived.

The many tents set up in the camp were shrouded in the darkness and phosphorescence of the floor.

In the hand of the elf girl, the musical instruments of leaves and trees were carved, and they snapped together.

Swords, wands, double blades, machetes, silver boots, staves, great axes, guns.

Many adventurers stared at the various weapons shining brightly in front of them.

The clown flag erected at the base camp also stared at the crowd with a funny smile on its face.

Finally, the leader of the little people spoke.

"--Set off!"

Following the calm order, the elite team of [Loki Familia] led by Captain Finn set off from the camp.

The regiment members and senior blacksmiths who stayed in the base shouted to see them off.

Towards the unknown field, advance!
