I like traveling the most

The underground space of the Adventurer's Guild.

In the dim square illuminated by torches, the man in the audience was speaking loudly and vividly to the god on the high seat.

"That's it. Thanks to my secret help, the cowardly rabbit was able to show his courage and survive in the ant army, and finally got a beauty... No, is that little human girl considered a beauty? Her looks are a bit lacking. , there is no atmosphere like a heroine at all.”

He has been talking for half an hour.

Although it is a long story, the heroic deeds of the protagonist of the story are mentioned in a few sentences, but he, a person who has been behind the scenes from the beginning to the end, occupies nine out of ten of the space.

No matter how stupid you are, you will understand that you are asking for credit.

Ouranos still had a cold face and said, "Why are you telling me this?"

"It's nothing, I always thought you would be interested."

"Such trivial matters don't interest me."

"Is it because I've seen it too many times? Well, I won't say it again next time."

Xiao Lin spread his hands and looked helpless.

It's not that Ouranos doesn't understand the romance of young people, it's that he is helpless because he didn't take advantage of the opportunity.

Are you deliberately pretending to be ignorant? Do you want to observe in secret without getting involved, or do you want to let it grow and finally come forward?

But no matter what, at least now Ouranos will never admit that he has a relationship with Bell. If he tries too much, he will be suspected, and the gain will not be worth the loss.

"So, what is the purpose of Lord God calling me here this time?"

"I have a task for you."

"I refuse."

"…………"

Xiao Lin refused too simply, and the experienced sky god was also a little surprised, but his habitual ground paralysis did not let him show it.

One person and one god looked at each other for a moment.

The atmosphere is slightly depressing.

Ouranos asked: "Why?"

"Why... it's really a strange question." Xiao Lin shrugged and said: "Lord God, have you forgotten that our agreement is to accompany the Loki family on the expedition, and at the same time secretly monitor whether they have any abnormalities in the recent underground city? There is a connection. And now you have arranged other tasks, isn’t this a bit..."

"The task assigned to you is to monitor the Loki Familia. And it is not to accompany the expedition, but to monitor their abnormalities in the dungeon."

Ouranos repeated the original agreement very calmly.

"——Tsk!"

After hearing this, Xiao Lin was silent for a moment, smacking his tongue loudly, and said unhappily: "Tell me, what kind of mission it is."

"I hope you can investigate the occurrence of a large number of monsters on the 24th floor. Not only that, but according to the information about the red-haired woman and the monster orb you met in Rivera Town (security floor), the appearance of those monsters is very likely Relevant to those things.

"I see, because I'm already involved, right?"

"No, it's just that you have free time."

Ouranos' plain words penetrated Xiaolin's heart.

Listen, is this human talk?

Oh, he is a god, so that’s okay.

Xiao Lin still accepted the commission.

This is a part of the agreement that was originally agreed upon, even if you want to deny it. In this case, let's just solve it neatly.

"Let's go, Liu Zi, it's time to work."

"Yes, Master Xiaolin."

Xiao Lin walked coolly towards the depths of the underground, but he was dumbfounded before he took a few steps because it was too dark to find the passage connecting the underground city.

Why not add more torches...

"Why don't you add more torches to give this place more light?"

"Eh?"

Xiao Lin didn't expect Liu Zi to speak out what he was thinking first.

Liu Zi even said venomously: "You are obviously a god, but you live in such a dark and closed space. Generally speaking, shouldn't it be brightly lit and bustling with excitement? The gloomy atmosphere is very much like a villain, isn't it?"

"Hey, hey, don't say that. The god of the sky has wronged himself so much for the labyrinth city. Oh, poor god, what should I do if I get claustrophobia?"

Xiao Lin also followed suit with a strange look.

Not only was he resentful for asking him to work more, but there was also revenge for taking credit but getting no reward.

In fact, he also knew that the high seat where Ouranos was sitting was an altar, and the purpose of sealing himself was to calm the anger of the underground city.

Since it’s the relationship between the altar and the sacrifice, we can’t have fun here.

What's the difference between that and provocation?

……etc! If it were some blue dumb goddess, she really could have a party here!

"Master Xiaolin, you don't look too good."

"I accidentally thought of some idiot and it became like this."

"I guess it must be Aqua-sama."

"Liu Zi, sometimes being too smart is not a good thing."

When Xiao Lin saw that Uranus was not letting go even though he was hinting at it, he realized that his attempt to collect wool had failed, so he took Liu Zi into the dungeon from below the guild.

When he left, a figure emerged from the shadows. Ouranos saw it and shouted: "Fels."

Fels looked at Xiao Lin's back and said calmly: "It seems like he knows something, but he can get over it smoothly as long as he doesn't speak."

"I know."

"But is it really okay to give the task to him?"

"We are short of manpower, so we can only leave it to him. And Fels, why did you insist on assigning the task to Sword Girl without authorization?"

Ouranos looked at Fels.

There was questioning and blame in the words, but the tone was completely different.

It seems that the God trusts Fels very much.

And Fels also explained: "I have said before that you should not be enemies with the Loki family. To solve the current situation, she is very suitable."

"It will be a big deal."

"It doesn't matter. They are also involved. It is impossible that they have nothing to do with it. Besides, didn't that man go with them?"

"It would be great if it could be so."

Uranus also urgently summoned Xiaolin when he realized something was wrong, hoping to pull him back in time when the situation exceeded expectations.

But can he really do what he wants?

On the other side, Xiaolin and Liu Zi successfully came to the dungeon from the passage.

The 18th floor is safe.

There was a riot here, and the entire floor was affected. Fortunately, the dungeon has a self-repair function. On this basis, the adventurers built the town very quickly. When they came here again, the scenery had been restored to the same as before. And most importantly, without the murderer at large, the atmosphere was much better.

"Master Kobayashi, what should we do now?"

"Of course we should go directly to the 24th floor to investigate... Although I really want to say so, the mission requires us to go to Rivera Town to meet our collaborators first?"

Are you afraid of yourself getting into danger, so you find helpers?

It would be great if that were the case.

Kobayashi has already guessed Uranus's thoughts. Not to mention that the person he will meet later is a collaborator, it would be good if he is not a useless person who drags down his team.

I really want to investigate by myself!

With anger, Kobayashi came to a tavern, opened the door and walked in.

There were many adventurers in the tavern. Even though it was daytime (daytime), they were still drinking. There was no panic and vigilance as there had been a riot here before. A group of fearless taverns had the style of ignorant adventurers.

Ignoring these scumbags, he quickly walked to the counter and said a codeword to the boss who was wiping the wine glass.

"Fried potato balls, matcha cream flavor."

"... Yeah."

The boss nodded slightly, indicating that Kobayashi could enter the door of the secret room he was holding.

This process has the flavor of a secret contact, but the codeword is a bit strange.

Holding doubts, he pushed open the door.

The room was brightly lit, and many people were sitting at the table, and there was a familiar figure among them.

"Miss Ais...?"

"Xiao Lin?"

At this time, Xiao Lin realized where the strange codeword came from.

Not only was it Jian Ji, there was also a familiar figure, but Jian Ji's presence was too strong, covering her up.

And this person was the dog-man tribe that I had seen before in the security layer.

"Lulune?"

"Big brother?!"

After seeing Xiao Lin, the dog-man tribe Lulune opened her eyes and mouth wide and fell into suspicion.

How difficult must it be to let Xiao Lin and Jian Ji join together? It must be the ultimate difficult task that will die if you don't check it for a while!

Otherwise, just run away now.

Having seen how strong Xiao Lin is, she now has a strong sense of regret in her heart.

"It seems that the last reinforcement has arrived."

A mature and steady female voice came from behind.

Kobayashi turned his head and saw a woman wearing a gray-black cloak that covered her whole body but revealed her face. She had light blue seaweed hair, eyes, and a beautiful face.

"You are..."

"Yasfei, Yasfei al Andromeda. I'm sorry for introducing myself late. I'm the leader of the Hermes clan."

"Hello, I'm Kobayashi. The one next to me is my waiter, and my most trusted and closest partner, Liu Zi."

"Please give me your advice, Mr. Kobayashi, Ms. Liu Zi."

Yasfei extended her right hand to show courtesy.

Perhaps because of the [Five Visions All-Powerful], Kobayashi is particularly sensitive to sight. The scrutinizing and probing eyes are too obvious, making him slightly uncomfortable.

But it's understandable.

Kobayashi is not as famous as Sword Princess Ais. It's reasonable for an unknown person to be scrutinized without knowing his strength. After all, Yasfei is the leader of the clan and has to consider the members of the clan.

Look around.

They were all unfamiliar faces, but their movements and micro-expressions made Xiaolin understand that everyone here was a member of the Hermes family.

"In other words, the mission was accepted by the noble family?"

"... You can say that."

"What's going on?"

Yasfei's face was full of tangled expressions, and it was obvious that there was something hidden. And for the sake of the next cooperation, it was natural to tell the mission and the reason honestly.

The commission received from the man in black (Fels) was to ask them to investigate the reason why a large number of monsters appeared on the 24th floor.

The same thing happened only on the 30th floor. At the same time, the deceased Hassana Dollia who was killed on the safe floor before took the gem from the 30th floor.

"You are really something. You dare to accept suspicious commissions after that kind of thing happened."

"Yes, I'm sorry, let me go."

Yasfei's blame made Lulune apologize sincerely.

This is a typical "others are afraid of me, I am greedy" mentality, especially Lulune's mouth is not tight, it is normal to die one day because of this.

"I understand the details, what should we do now?"

"...Although the items on the security floor are expensive, we have to spend more money to investigate as quickly as possible."

"What do you mean?"

"We have to clear all the traps on the security floor!"

It was obvious that Yasfei had her own ideas, and she had already decided how to do it before Xiaolin came.

In this case, Xiaolin did not intend to interfere and disrupt the other party's pace.

After all, he and Sword Princess Ais were outsiders, and the Hermes family should be the main ones.

But is it really possible?

Most of the members here are only LV2, even the leader Yasfei is only LV4. Can the current configuration really conduct an investigation?

It is very difficult to investigate only the 23rd floor. What if you need to go to the 30th floor...

"What's wrong, Xiaolin."

"Nothing. I just think it's great to have Miss Ais around."

Because she is very strong, even if she encounters a strong enemy, she can delay time and give the people of the Hermes family a chance to escape.

Otherwise, he alone can't take care of so many people.

Looking up, he found that Sword Princess Ais's cheeks were slightly blushing at this time. It is rare for a natural girl to show shyness.

"Miss Ais, what's wrong?"

"No, nothing."

She answered with a little stammer, turning her head away and not daring to look at Kobayashi.

She always felt that she had misunderstood something.

Ryu Zi appeared at the right time and said venomously: "Sir Kobayashi, didn't I expect that you have reached the point of deceiving a cute girl? Although you have often deceived Lady Aqua before, deceiving a pure girl is a scumbag behavior anyway."

"Huh?"

"Hmm?"

"Uh."

This sentence surprised Ais, alerted Aphis, made Lulune speechless, and made the female members of the Hermes family hostile. Wait, why would the male members have such admiring eyes?

Misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding!

Ryu Zi's venomous tongue is too powerful, especially since she is expressionless, which can increase the persuasiveness.

"Miss Ryuushi."

"Yes?"

"First of all, I have never lied to a cute girl. Secondly, Aqua is not stupid and I have never lied to her. I have done everything I promised. Finally, it is not a scumbag's behavior to have a heart-to-heart with a companion who will fight side by side in the future!"

"I'm sorry, Master Kobayashi, it seems that I misunderstood."

The expressionless apology seemed insincere, as if Kobayashi's words just now had no persuasive power.

Really, I obviously didn't mean that.

Kobayashi held his forehead and sighed.

However, what he didn't realize was that the sword princess Aisi was staring at him at this time, and he didn't know what she was thinking.

"Enough of the small talk."

Aphis's words put everyone in the state, and a qualified adventurer should be like this.

"Okay, it's time to set off. Are you ready?"

"Yes!" xN

"Then, let's decide on the advance team members."

Under Aphis's well-organized arrangement, everyone had a clear division of labor and rushed quickly to the bottom of the dungeon.
