Zongman: Beginning with the Killer Queen

"Thriving? That's not a word I'd like to say."

Roland chuckled, but he didn't think that the guild, which was founded by the first group of main gods and has been in operation to this day, and is in charge of the entire Orario, would really think so.

"Does the guild plan to continue giving Orario a boost of strength?"

"That's right."

Finn was also a little helpless, "Orario is the center of the world, and you must be extremely cautious in every move you make. After all, the entire world will change due to its direction. Before the disaster breaks out, you can only be prepared."

"The guild's strategy must not be just to launch heroes like me, right?"

Roland also took a sip of wine, looking at Finn in front of him with eyes flashing with unknown meaning.

"What do you want me to do by asking you to come to me in private?"

"You have really seen through everything... You are worthy of being a sword hero."

Finn also smiled, but did not answer the question immediately.

"The guild attaches great importance to the information about the purple crystal. In the past two days, it has gradually launched operations to investigate and isolate the infected in the name of maintaining public security. As for forces other than Orario, we can only notify them in advance. Right now, Orario doesn’t have much time to take care of them. From today on, all dependents with first-level adventurers will be notified.”

Finn's eyes narrowed and he said seriously: "The Great Crusade is about to begin. Regardless of the clan to which they belong, as long as there are first-level adventurers, they must participate in this Great Crusade. They must break through the fifty-eighth level. Try to find the source of the disaster and eliminate it as much as possible.”

"The Great Expedition..."

Roland's eyes flashed with unknown colors and he whispered.

Orario's move is indeed very prudent. As the world's key energy production center, and with the largest number of powerful adventurers, Orario is just a city, but it is the best in the world in terms of combat power and influence.

While gaining maximum benefits, they also bear an implicit responsibility.

Suppress the dungeon.

Although after thousands of years of time, the past incidents of dungeon monsters raging on the surface have become legends, but to the gods, it is like what happened yesterday, and it is the main mission that they cherish.

The higher the level of the adventurer, the more serious it is. No one knows how deep the dungeon is, how strong the monsters inside will be, and whether they will appear one day. Such a change.

This time, the strength is probably only around level 60. What if a deeper monster appears and is as powerful as the three major commissions?

Until now, the one-eyed black dragon has not been conquered.

Therefore, no matter what, the expedition to the dungeon is the first priority.

"What's the specific time?"

After hearing Roland's inquiry, Finn poured himself another glass of wine.

"After the Monster Festival, this is also the time for expedition mobilization."

Although the Monster Festival is a celebration held by the family of Ganesha, the God of the People, until now, with the changes in the city and the times, this festival has become an official annual festival in Orario.

The Ganesha Familia will capture monsters from the dungeon, tame them, and then put them in the Colosseum to kill each other or compete with adventurers to demonstrate the dominance of the people of the lower world over the monsters. , please the public, reduce the fear of monsters, and attract more adventurers to join.

Used for mobilization during such festivals, it can indeed achieve twice the result with half the effort.

However, Roland couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he thought of the uproarous monster sacrifice in the original work.

"Although it is very effective, at this time, I still feel a little bit suicidal. The monsters are infected faster than the adventurers, right?"

"The guild has said that it will strictly inspect the monsters brought up, and will hire adventurers to conduct reconnaissance in the dungeon during the monster festival to prevent accidents."

Finn slowly explained that to be able to become the recognized leader of a core team like the Loki Familia, in addition to his own strength, his excellent commanding ability cannot be ignored. To convince him, the guild's plan can be said to be Quite complete.

"I understand. So, what does the guild plan to let me, a hero, do? The expedition hasn't started yet. They won't let me take Esther out to play exhibition matches, right?"

Roland smiled slightly and said teasingly.

"This is the confidential information I want to talk about."

Finn nodded, looking very serious.

"Have you ever heard of...the Holy Lord's Familia?"

"?"

Roland actually raised his head in surprise, not knowing what Finn meant by saying this.

Finn didn't intend to let Roland answer, but took a deep breath and explained.

"Just after the day we set out, an unknown Familia appeared in Orario, attacking a large number of adventurers who entered the dungeon. They specially guarded the upper level near the middle level. Even the adventurers with a little bit of potential did not escape. The palm of this family member’s hand.”

"Um……"

Roland raised his chin and motioned for Finn to continue.

"Originally, such an action should have resulted in corpses strewn across the land. After all, according to the guild's estimate, the number of these attackers is at least dozens. They are guaranteed to be lv3-lv4 elites, and there may even be a few first-level adventurers among them. It seems that the former dark sect is making a comeback."

Dark faction, this is a word that has been sealed in Orario's memory.

For the gods in the heavens, since there are good-hearted gods like Ganesha who are devoted to the masses, there are also evil gods who only care about having fun, in the true sense.

Most of these gods have very twisted tendencies and desire to destroy the world. They are the same existences that side with the dungeon. For the sake of real fun, they will not care about anything, whether it is attacking potential adventurers or massacring weak dependents. , it is even very common to attack fellow gods and send them back to heaven in advance.

And the people of the lower world who are favored by such gods and bestowed favors are often of the same origin. Although they cannot be said to be law-abiding, they can at least be said to do all kinds of evil.

In the end, arousing public outrage, their main members were wiped out, leaving only a group of desperate remnants still dormant, becoming a thorn in the side of the guild.

"But what's incredible is that this clan, which looks like a dark sect, basically doesn't take action on the adventurer's life, and the property is all intact. It just knocks the adventurer out and leaves. Before leaving, he even Will actively destroy surrounding walls to create a safe environment."

Finn said this with a strange look on his face.

"At first, the guild thought it was just a prank by a certain family member, and didn't pay much attention to it. It wasn't until the scale of the prank gradually expanded that the guild belatedly discovered what the adventurers had been robbed of."

"Although it sounds like a fantasy, the experience points of those adventurers were robbed. Regardless of their level, whether they have exercised more or less, their status has stopped at the time when their ability values ​​were last updated."

When he said this, Finn lowered his voice unconsciously, and the expression on his face was extremely determined.

"The experience points were taken away..."

Roland whispered with a subtle expression.

When Finn looked at his expression, he thought Roland didn't believe him. After all, the idea of ​​having his experience points taken away was too far-fetched.

"The guild judged that this should be the result of some kind of magic, and it should be caused by the dependents of an unknown evil god. Yesterday, I participated in the guild's counterattack and successfully captured an attacker. Unfortunately, the attacker seemed to be crazy. He tried his best to He used a fire magic that did not require chanting to resist, and in the end only a corpse was left."

Finn explained, then looked around cautiously again, and whispered in Roland's ear.

"As a result, after taking off the cloak, we discovered that the attacker was not human... or, to be more precise, not any kind of life that we know."

Finn took out a green prismatic scale from his pocket and pushed it to Roland.

"The guy's appearance is very similar to that of the monster in the dungeon, but he is obviously intelligent. After forcibly unlocking it with the unlocking potion, the emblem that appeared behind him was a coiled dragon."

The blessings given by different gods show that the coat of arms on the back will be different, which is also the best way to identify one's identity.

"Currently, it seems that no god knows this god called the Holy Lord, and we can't find any relevant clues. After being captured once, the Holy Lord's family became even more frantic."

Finn sighed and covered his face.

"They actually started to run to the first few floors and attack the new adventurers who were still practicing. Unfortunately, these guys never started in Orario, which we are more familiar with. They can only think that those guys who don't enter dungeons often have the power to attack. He has too little experience and they look down on him.”

It's just because it's not necessary. After all, low-level adventurers have basically drunk the divine wine. Although he thinks so, Roland has not forgotten his current personality.

"To actually...do such a beautiful...crazy thing!"

He patted the table, clenched his fists, and then asked as if he realized something.

"Could it be that the guild wants to..."

"They want you, as a hero, to take the initiative to look for these guys in the past few days. You are also very suitable. Although you are level 2, you have far more strength than those guys, and you also like to act alone. In addition, Immortal spirit, with your help, the Holy Lord’s family will definitely be able to escape!”

Seeing Roland's thoughtful look, Finn stopped what he was doing and looked at him seriously. In this matter, Roland, who acted alone and whose strength was still unfathomable, was the most suitable candidate.

The Loki Familia are too conspicuous, both in terms of characteristics and appearance, and Roland will have to wait until today for his specific characteristics to be officially included in Orario's official announcement. It will take at least a few days for it to become deeply rooted in people's hearts. This is the biggest advantage.

After a long time, Roland smiled slightly and made a decision that made Finn feel relieved.

"Since it's this kind of thing, of course I'm bound to do it."

"Thank you, Roland..."

Facing Finn's sincere gratitude, Roland waved his hand and raised his eyebrows.

"But, what about the reward? The guild is not planning to get rid of me with just a title."

He has always been the only one who deceives others to work for free, so there is no reason for him to stick to others and work for free, even if it is a move of left hand over right hand.

"It's really your style... However, this time the guild is very generous. God Ouranos doesn't seem to want to investigate the origins of these guys, but let us prioritize solving this matter, so there is this number."

Finn compared a rough number, and Roland confirmed the specific amount before nodding with satisfaction.

"You are really sincere, then, leave this matter to me."

Roland showed a confident smile and said in a positive tone.

"——The end of the Holy Lord's family has come."

After bidding farewell to Finn, Roland was not in a hurry to leave, but thought about everything that had happened recently.

The work done by the Sumo clan is quite reliable. Roland has already felt that the number of people infected with the evil of this world is increasing at an alarming rate outside of Orario. Not to mention Orario, Sumo's Divine wine has already become a cheap drink that can replace plain water.

In fact, even if Finn doesn't come, in a few days, the Holy Lord's Familia will almost have to concentrate on selling wine. After all, there are only so many hardcore adventurers who should be infected, and it's almost time to stop. Making a fortune from the guild was something Roland never expected.

The progress of unsealing the talisman has been mostly completed, which is much faster than Roland's recovery alone. Although it was just a whim, the potential of Orario Adventurer really exceeded Roland's expectations.

The next problem lies in the bonded spirit.

"The Queen of the Virus not only possesses a physical body, but while actively spreading the Apocalypse virus, she also learned to grant void to her subordinates. Apart from monsters, there should be nothing to possess her in the dungeon..."

Roland pondered, and then thought of Ruiweisi. Although she was also a fanatical believer, she was generally smart. She firmly believed that Orario was doomed, and she should have a specific plan, but unfortunately she didn't. She was killed by the Virus Queen upon seeing her.

If the Virus Queen really plans to take action, the Monster Festival is the last chance. I hope she can give herself a surprise.

——

"Hurry up! Don't wait any longer. There is not much time for the last batch of domestication, and the monster festival is about to be used!"

Entering the cage, the adventurer wearing an elephant head mask ignored the urging of his companions. Instead, he carefully inspected the monster's limbs, mouth, and various parts of the body. After finding no corresponding purple crystal, he spoke.

"This is what Lord Ganesha personally ordered. I have to check it carefully before giving it to you. This one is fine. Take it away. The next one!"

"knew!"

After closing the cage again and covering it with a black cloth, the new star beast tamer of the Ganesha Familia couldn't wait to rush towards the station. For the members of the Ganesha Familia, the monster sacrifice is also a great way to show off their talents. No one wants to miss the opportunity to gain recognition from the gods.

But when he dragged the cage towards the station, the monster covered in black cloth suddenly stopped whimpering. His eyelids rolled up, and his body was paralyzed in the cage, unable to move, as if it was being held down by some invisible force. Same.

In the gaps between his claws, tiny purple crystals grew quietly and merged with the flesh.
