Final Trial of Mankind

"Well, we have to go to the 'Gobnu Family' next, because we need to ask them to take care of the big double blades. Tione will also go?"

"Yeah, the spare kukri is also used up...and I have to ask them to replenish the throwing knives."

"Miss Ace, do you want to go too?"

"Well, I also want to ask them to show me the Immortal Sword..."

Selling "magic stones" and "dropped items" is a top priority, and of course there are weapons and armors to be prepared, or repaired, or even updated.These have become the norm, and the aftermath of the expedition can be said to be piled up like a mountain.

Aisi and the others put the raw materials of the medicine on the counter for sale, and at the same time entrusted Amide to replenish the props, and plan the next pile of plans.

"Speaking of which, Rocky is out today, right? Do you know the reason?"

"I remember she seemed to say yes, there is a private matter..."

"That is, who is the reservation to meet with?"

Tione recovered and changed the subject, Refia immediately answered, Tiona also jokingly said, and Ais immediately recalled the main god who split into two groups immediately after going out.

[I always feel that she looks bored...? 】

Ais slightly raised her head to look at the zenith, showing some confusion.

……

"Huh? Are you alone?"

"Aistan and the others are busy with the aftermath of the 'Expedition'." Loki pushed the door and entered, as if the rich prince's male god and his goblin attendants were already waiting indoors.

This is a high-end tavern located in the bustling street, and they booked this box with excellent sound insulation for secret talks.

Loki pulled out his chair and sat across the round table facing Dionysus.

"What about that little white face?"

"Hermes doesn't seem to be back yet, he said he ran to the dungeon...but his family is here."

Following Dionysus' gaze, he could see the dog-man girl standing in the corner saluting with a twitching smile, and beside her stood a moaning giant tiger man.

"I heard that the little boy caused some trouble for Finn and the others on the 18th floor, but is he still alive? He won't be belching in the dungeon, right?"

"Well~ Our 'favor' is still effective, so it should be... It feels like even if you hurt the killer... In the end, you will probably dance in front of your eyes with a silly smile on your face, and the leader will follow."

After listening to Loki's words, the dog-man girl Lulune answered intermittently, wishing she could dig a hole and drill down, she still kept an empty smile, showing some subtle trust in the main god.

Loki already knew that on the way back from the "expedition", Hermes and the others had visited the camp of the "Loki Familia", but when they set off from the 18th floor, that is, yesterday, they somehow broke away from the main force and stayed in the camp. security floor.

"Since Loki is here, let's talk about business."

Loki and the others gathered here for no other reason than to plan countermeasures to solve the troublesome organizations in the city.

The remnants of the dark faction, as well as the underground forces led by "extremely colorful monsters" and "weirds".Loki and the others formed an alliance against the shady man who called himself "Urban Destroyer".Some are for revenge, and some are because of their origins. In short, there are various reasons for them to follow this force.

Now that the main force of the "Rocky Familia" has completed the "expedition" and triumphantly returned, the action of the faction alliance can also be on the right track.

"However, even if it is said to be a negotiation, the goal is already very clear. That is to find...another entrance and exit to the dungeon other than the 'Tower of Babel'."

Loki and the others have already detected a breakthrough in the movement of hostile forces.

That is what the world firmly believes should be the only entrance to the dungeon, but there is actually a second one.This entrance and exit must exist, so that monsters such as piranhas can be transported to the ground without the knowledge of management agencies and adventurers.

"Yeah, isn't that obvious? But before that... Loki, didn't your boys find anything at the end of the expedition? You must have reached the 'deep' where the super-colored monsters appear?"

As soon as Dionysos finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Loki.

Loki was silent for a moment, opened his eyes slightly, observed their reactions and said.

"I heard that a fallen 'elf' appeared there. Moreover, Finn and the others almost never came back... And our conclusion is that the enemy's goal is probably to summon this 'elf' on the ground."

The existence of the "she" mentioned by the monsters - its true form is "Fallen Elves".

This is the apostle of God who has survived until now by constantly gnawing on monsters, and has changed his own concept.

The "orb fetus" that runs through the core of all events is also the product of this existence, just like the weirdo. The "fetus" evolves into a "spirit clone" by ingesting the "magic stones" collected by piranhas that are equivalent to tentacles.

However, the target of the enemy is the ground call of the "Spirit".

If the powerful "spirit clone" really descends to the ground, Olalie, which is equivalent to the "canopy" of the dungeon, will be destroyed.

——"We want to destroy the labyrinth city."

At this time, the words spoken by the white-haired ghost who appeared on the 24th floor of the food warehouse revived in the minds of the family members who were on the scene at that time.Lulune, who had a bad complexion, swallowed her throat, and the tiger youth opened his eyes wide.Firvis, who tried his best to suppress his emotions, looked at his main god.

Hearing the enemy's plan speculated by Loki and the others, the male god rested his forehead with one hand and sighed quietly.

After a long silence, the male god raised his head and twisted his glazed eyes.

"It seems that whether it is the second entrance or exit, or the orb hiding place that may have been transported into the city... we must find it as soon as possible."

The dignified voice of the male god shook the ears of every family member present.The deep purple wine that heals the table reflects a bewitching light under the illumination of the magic stone lamp on the ceiling.

The children were silent together, and then Loki swayed the chair lazily and said.

"Even if you say that, in the end~ you still plan to throw the blame on us? For example, give us all the dangerous jobs?"

"Hahaha, we will do our best to assist, but Youdao is the right person for the right place, right?"

It sounds good, Loki cast a disapproving gaze, Dionysus also changed his serious expression, and put on a sassy smile, facing the squinting goddess, the male god showed his dazzling white teeth .

Enduring the stomachache-inducing contest, Lulune complained about crying, "I'd better go back~", and the tiger-ren youth who had been accompanied by the canine companions sighed again.

Firvis closed his eyes and stood beside the main god, silently allowing the situation to progress.

"...Forget it, we are all grasshoppers on the same rope anyway. So, where should we start? Although we need to search in a sweeping manner, we probably also..."

"That~ about this matter~..."

At this moment, Lulune raised her hand in fear and interrupted Loki.

"Actually, after our lord Lord God returned from his journey, he asked me to send a message... that he had something to tell Loki-sama..."

Hermes said that if he was not present during the discussion, he would let Lulune pass the message, and Loki frowned upon hearing this.

Is it going to blame again? Loki is so vigilant, Dionysus can't help laughing.

"I've heard about this incident. It shouldn't be a bad thing for you, Loki, right? Maybe it can be used as a change of mood."

"?"

Facing Loki's surprised gaze, Dionysos said with a serious face.

"Actually, I am also very concerned about this information. Leave the city search to us first, Loki, I would like to ask you to search other places."

092 Muchen: I just don't want to keep a secret, what can you do to me! !

After the allies of the Loki secret meeting returned to the base, Mu Chen found her in a wobble.

"Well, what's the matter? Mu Chen, it's rare that you will come to me, why don't you build a good relationship with the family members, I feel that you are very similar to the little Ais back then."

"It's not like, we are not the same in nature." Mu Chen interrupted Loki, "I came here mainly because I want to discuss something with you."

"Oh—so serious, what's the matter?"

"I plan to leave the family for a while in a few days, and I have other things to deal with, um, it's my personal affairs." Mu Chen scratched his cheek, "I have a place to go, and I can't stop. "

"Can you tell me, I am very interested in you, Mu Chen, but you never talk about the past, so I can only hold back."

"If you want to talk about whether you can say it, I think it doesn't matter if you say it, but it doesn't feel useful to say it." Mu Chen shrugged.

"To be honest, depending on your strength and situation, although there will be exceptions in the world, but monsters have appeared recently, and I once wondered if you are the same monster as that red-haired animal trainer."

Loki spoke bluntly, without any scruples about Mu Chen.

"It's normal. After all, there are people who can exert power beyond LV6 without ability points. Judging from my recent personal experience, I guess there are only those weird people. It can even be said that when I first appeared in this city, I actually Poorer knowledge than that red-haired animal trainer, I don't even know the classification here."

"what do you mean……"

"Just treat me as a person from another world!"

"Another world? Are there really other worlds?"

"Well, there are many other worlds. I am one of the people who wander in different worlds and seek to become stronger."

"You mean that there are many people who can travel freely through the world?"

"It's not that there are a lot of people, but it shouldn't be too many. In addition, we don't travel freely between worlds. We have to stay in a world for a certain period of time, or complete specific tasks or something. , I don’t know what will happen if I stop and don’t move forward, the only thing I know is that the end will definitely not be good.”

"Is there something pressing you?"

"more or less!"

Muchen gave an ambiguous answer.

The template does not restrict them from speaking about other worlds, which is much better than the reincarnation space in those novels.

"Then how long are you going to be away?"

"I don't know, but it probably won't be too long."

In different worlds, the passing speed of time is different, and Mu Chen who has the time ability can sense a little difference, and through the experience of returning to the world of "The Master", it is estimated that the time difference between the two is not big.

"Ah, really, I just pulled you into the family, I didn't expect to leave after only one expedition, I'm really disappointed, but I'm quite interested in the theory of another world you mentioned, if I have the chance, I'd like to see it too Look."

"I can't do this, I can't take people to other worlds."

At least he doesn't plan to give Loki the remaining quota of Mu Chen.

"You just wait here, I will bring gifts back when I come back."

"Then when are you going to leave?"

"Probably in the last few days, after all, my time in this world is almost saturated."

What Mu Chen was talking about was the progress, and when he returned to the Loki Familia, the progress was directly capped.

"But don't tell anyone else about this matter, just say that I have entered the underground to practice deeply."

"Don't worry, I know." Loki replied with some displeasure.

--------------------------------

that night.

Just after nightfall, an unprecedented noise swept every corner of the city.
