Hestia tasked her with testing a quarterly ledger. After some simple training, Lily completed the work of tabulating, summarizing, verifying, and correcting errors in a very short time, even though it was her first time encountering formal accounting work.

In comparison, that rare and special magic was not so important.

What truly moved the goddess Hestia was not Lily's magic, but her talent in the commercial field, and the courage, tenacity, and awareness she demonstrated in that resolute kneeling.

The goddess Hestia said,

“Perhaps in the future, she can make a name for herself in Orario's business world, who knows?”

Orario is not only a city for adventurers; it also has ordinary residents and various commercial facilities.

She has to climb up step by step, from clerk to branch manager, to headquarters…

After listening to the goddess's description, Wei Gong nodded: "Soma Familia, huh… There was such a thing before."

His biggest impression of the Soma Familia was still their captain, [Wine Guardian] Celsus Lustra, who contributed to resolving Ryu's trauma.

As for Liliruca Arde, Wei Gong had no impression of this small human girl at all, even though they had met twice:

It's just that this kind of thing obviously wouldn't be retained in Wei Gong's memory.

However, Wei Gong was in a good mood: "At that time, I accidentally saved this girl."

“Lily… work hard on your respective paths, and look forward to seeing you in the future.”

Wei Gong: "Goddess Hestia, please update my ability scores for me. I want to see the growth I've gained from training during this period."

Agility: H191.

Omitted below.

Chapter 131: The Goddess's Spear and the Pure Soul.

Still exploring alone, but unlike before, he didn't stay in the relatively safe upper levels, but directly entered the middle levels.

However, Wei Gong's situation is obviously not the target audience for the guild's recommended strategies. With his exceptional combat power, even alone, he is enough to rampage in the middle levels of the dungeon. It can even be said that adventurers of the same level will only slow down his pace.

[The effect of the skill [Roadless Valhalla] is activated.]

[Temporarily gained the skill [Killing Sword Bloodline]]

Itsujo Kaguya, the least noticeable of the three heroes of the former Astraea Familia.

[Red Rightful Flower] Alise and [Gale] Ryuu Lion were regarded as representatives of the Astraea Familia in different generations as the successive captains. In comparison, [Yamato Gentian] was just a vice-captain of the righteous Familia.

However, after personally experiencing their abilities, Wei Gong had this judgment: at the same level, facing each other with swords, in a life-and-death duel, Kaguya could easily defeat or even kill Ryuu or Alise.

In fact, according to Wei Gong's fighting style, monsters of the Minotaur type can be easily solved with a bow and arrow, but he is not simply exploring the dungeon now, but wants to hone his abilities.

If he wants to improve agility and endurance, a feasible method is to fight Ryuu, and then try his best to escape and be beaten, and if he wants to improve strength, the best way is to kill monsters in the dungeon.

After the Minotaur, he easily killed a Tiger Claw. Looking at the seemingly endless number of monsters in the passage in front of him, Wei Gong's expression was a little serious.

For Wei Gong, this is a good thing. Even if the number of monsters at this level increases, it is difficult to really threaten him, and the increased number of monsters obviously improves his training efficiency.

Suppressing the waves in his heart, Wei Gong projected another deep red longsword and charged towards the monsters.

At the Loki Familia's Twilight Manor, the goddess Loki rarely convened a full gathering. All members of the Familia were present, and both [Sword Princess] and [Fierce Wolf] had to cancel their training plans because of this.

Ais was puzzled.

Loki beckoned, and Ais could only step forward and reach out to hold the spear of the silver spear.

Ais switched to both hands, she used all her strength, however, the spear remained motionless.

“As expected, it won’t work, next, Bert, you come up!”

“Huh? Why do I have to do this stupid thing… Stupid Amazon, don’t push me!”

“Bert won’t work either, next next~ Finn, want to give it a try?”

“So Loki, what exactly is this?”

“It’s the Goddess’s Spear. The person who pulls it out will receive the blessing of the pure goddess, and will also be invited to participate in a luxurious trip around the world.”

Finn stared at Loki's profile. After a moment, he chuckled: "I see, it seems I don't have this luck."

Not everyone is like Finn, completely disbelieving Loki's perfunctory lies. Many adventurers rushed forward, wanting to pull out the Goddess's Spear and receive the blessing of the pure goddess and the opportunity to travel around the world.

The only result that was slightly different was Riviera. In her hands, the dark silver Goddess's Spear shook slightly.

Loki muttered to herself.

“Wait a while, and then let Hermes move this thing away.”

Riviera: "So, only someone with a completely pure soul can pull out this spear?"

“Yes, you are one of the few people who can make it waver slightly. As for the person who can pull out this spear, we haven’t found them yet.”

Riviera said in a low voice: “They are all Lv.5 or above elves…”

Loki said, paused, and said in a strange tone: "But I don't know why, Alicia can't do it."

The Goddess's Spear didn't react at all in Alicia's hand, even though she was also a first-class elf.

“Yes, it’s very serious.”

Loki said: “This matter is so serious that we now need to cooperate with Freya, that troublesome goddess.”

“This is the most serious problem now. I’m not very good at discerning souls or anything, but a professional has already said—”

Chapter 132: A Knight Does Not Die Empty-Handed.

“Shirou, this outfit suits you very well.”

Looking at the young man who appeared in front of her, Syr's eyes lit up.

Wei Gong smiled and replied: "Is that so? This one was prepared by Haruhime."

Behind Wei Gong, the fox girl with a blushing face lowered her head and said softly.

That girl, Soma Familia completely wasted her talent by throwing her into the dungeon as an adventurer. Her true calling is "merchant" or "manager."

In Orario, where warriors are a dime a dozen, this is a rare talent.

The magic to transform into others, [Ash Maid], might have miraculous effects in special situations, but normally, large familias like Hephaestus Familia value doing things in a straightforward and aboveboard manner. This kind of loophole-exploiting magic is not very applicable.

"That girl who came from Soma Familia, I placed her in a newly built store, initially training as a shop assistant, to see how far she can grow."

Lili's life took a sudden turn from "fantasy adventure" to "workplace struggle", but Lili's ultimate goal has never changed.

Until she stands in a position to assist her "hero."

If the goddess hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten about the Soma Familia incident. In fact, not only him, but even the goddess Hephaestus, and even Syr, who initially instigated him to go to Soma Familia, didn't really dwell on this one-day episode.

Once, Lili volunteered to become Wemiya's supporter, but was rejected. Another time, when Wemiya broke into Soma Familia, Lili was among those he casually knocked unconscious.

To the point that even now, Wemiya doesn't know what Lili looks like, only knowing from the goddess's description that she is a cute Lilliput girl.

Wemiya offers a simple blessing to the unknown girl.

Wemiya Shirou.

Lv.2.

Strength: G292.

Endurance: H195.

Dexterity: D530.

Magic: D506.

After updating his abilities, Wemiya's focus began to shift to exploring the dungeon.

The area starting from the twelfth floor is now called the [Middle Levels]. The Guild recommends that teams wanting to explore the Middle Levels should have multiple upper-level adventurers who have undergone level ascension. Furthermore, the Lv.1 adventurers in the team should have their main abilities reach B in order to ensure safety while exploring the Middle Levels.

[Temporarily gained Development Ability [Night Contest] I]

[Temporarily gained Development Ability [Swordsman] H]

[Temporarily gained Magic [Five Lights]]

The weapon Wemiya is currently using is the strongest sword he has forged so far. The goddess Astrea named it [Swallow Returns], also known as [Kaguya's Sword].

Her skills and magic are far less flashy than the other two, without the added magic of raging flames, nor the magical bombardment of wind and light, only the simplest [Iaijutsu].

The jet-black blade slashed through, leaving a deep sword mark on the Minotaur's chest.

The monster's steel-hard hide was as fragile as a piece of paper before the longsword projected by Wemiya. The Minotaur's body was easily cleaved open, and the magic stone in the heart was shattered by a rapid sword flash.

As with Lv.1, through forging and projection practice, Wemiya's dexterity and magic are improving rapidly. In comparison, the other stats are much weaker.

In addition, Wemiya is also practicing Itsuse Yae Kaguya, or rather, the Itsuse family's special magic—[Five Lights].

"It's not an illusion, the monsters in the dungeon really have become more numerous."

Compared to a month ago, both the generation speed and the number of monsters appearing at once have increased somewhat, and the [Monster Feast] has become a little more frequent.

However, the changes in the dungeon may be foreshadowing some kind of bad omen, which is a bit worrying.

"Loki suddenly summoned everyone, is something happening?"

"Could it be that our expedition can finally be restarted?"

"Well... there is indeed something very important. Everyone, come and try to pull out this spear. Aiz, you go first~"

"Loki, what are you doing?"

"Don't ask so much, just try it~"

It was a dull silver spear, the tip sealed in a cluster of crystalline crystals. Aiz slowly exerted force, but with the strength of a Lv.5 adventurer, she couldn't move the spear at all.

Loki designated the subsequent candidates.

Bete was forcibly pushed onto the stage by Tiona. He reached out and tugged at the spear, but nothing happened.

Finn naturally had no objections. However, even he, as the strongest lancer in the city, could not pull out the spear.

Finn asked.

Loki said with a smile.

Goddess's spear... Thinking that this might be a very strong weapon, Aiz was a little excited for a moment, but soon she realized that it was a spear and not a sword, and she lost interest again.

"Everyone, come and try it."

At Finn's call, the adventurers of Loki Familia stepped forward one by one, trying to pull out the spear.

However, everyone undoubtedly failed, and even Gareth, a Lv.6 strength-type warrior, could not budge the spear in the slightest.

"As expected, our elf princess could at least make it shake a bit, but even Riveria can't do it. I originally thought she had the best chance..."

Loki looked closely at the Goddess Spear and said, "Riveria, come with me."

In the study, Loki revealed the truth to Riveria, and not the "Goddess's Blessing" or "World Tour" excuses.

"Are there any others? Who are they?"

Riveria asked.

Loki: "Freya Familia's [Black and White Knights], and [Sylph]."

"That's right, elves are indeed a noble race. The magic of an elf who has reached the first level seems to resonate slightly with the pure goddess's spear."

Riveria: "..."

Probably because Alicia's soul is no longer completely pure.

Riveria asked: "If no one can pull out the Goddess Spear, will there be any serious consequences?"

Riveria: "Is there anyone in the city who can pull out that spear?"

Loki sighed:

"No, not a single one... In the entire labyrinth city, no one's soul is pure enough to pull out Artemis's spear."

In the evening, Wemiya, with the assistance of Haruhime, changed into the clothes for the festival. He walked out of his room and went down the stairs to the first floor of the tavern.

"Hmm... Master looks very handsome in this outfit."
