The wrong person on the ground, the opening sword soul template

Chapter 170 The Siren is awesome
The banquet concluded successfully, and after a night of fermentation, the entire Orario knew that Liang Yue, the leader, had accepted intelligent monsters as members of her familia.

This was the first major news in the entire history of Orario, and its sensational nature caused an astonishing earthquake in Orario.

Early in the morning, Liang Yue and Winnie had breakfast together with everyone again.

Lily took the initiative to change the subject, "Liang Yue, we went to the underground city a couple of days ago and met Winnie's kind."

Liang Yue nodded. "And then?"

“Winnie’s kind spoke to us briefly; they want to see you.”

Liang Yue nodded, "I understand, as long as you can accept Winnie and her kind as our companions."

They don't necessarily have to become part of our clan, but at least they can become our employees or partners.

The reason Liang Yue decided to reveal Winnie's existence in such a hurry was simply because if she didn't do so now, her kind would be slaughtered.

His concern was that even without interfering with the plot, Winnie would still die. Even if she were resurrected, what if she didn't? What if she didn't?

What if there are some problems with the resurrection?
The Ikeros Familia hasn't come looking for trouble yet, so planning to massacre all the adventurers in the entire Familia would be a bit complicated.

Therefore, it would be best to bribe them with money.

"Liang Yue, my back is so itchy."

Winnie looked at Liang Yue with a wronged expression, and then a dragon wing sprouted from her back. It was the kind of dragon wing that Western dragons have.

Liang Yue looked at everyone, then patted Winnie's head. "It's okay, Winnie. No matter what you become, I will never hate you."

Winnie, who had been feeling uneasy due to the changes in her body, also calmed down.

"Perfect timing, we've all finished eating. Shall we go for a walk? To live freely on the ground, you always need to interact with others more."

After tidying up a bit, Liang Yue took Winnie to the street.

Especially now that Winnie has a dragon wing on her back, the local residents' attitude towards Winnie has become even more complicated.

"It's a monster!"

"Don't be afraid, it's said that she has become a member of the Hestia Familia!"

"Really? Monsters can become members of a familia?"

"I have to say, this monster is actually quite good-looking."

Ignoring the murmurs of the people around them, Liang Yue openly led Winnie on a walk throughout Orario.

After walking for about half an hour, Liang Yue led Winnie to the most bustling street in Orario, which is also the street where the largest casino is located.

Because it's morning, there aren't many guests inside the largest casino.

The clientele is primarily gamblers who stay up all night; cheating is virtually nonexistent in the largest casinos. If caught cheating, one of their limbs will be severed.

Even in games of probability, these gamblers are tirelessly immersed in them.

The possibility of winning big with a small bet, and of obtaining a huge return from a slim chance of winning, excites these gamblers.

Even prostitutes find it difficult to engage in continuous all-night gambling, but gambling is an option.

All Liang Yue could do was try her best to ensure fairness and only take a cut. Although profits decreased, more gamblers came than before, and her reputation improved dramatically.

Currently, the largest casino's monthly net profit, after deducting employee and security salaries and other costs, is approximately two billion fiat currency.

Based on the current reputation, it won't be long before the net profit alone can easily reach several billion or even tens of billions of yuan per month.

The entire Hestia Familia is becoming increasingly powerful, and the most important reason for this is naturally that Liang Yue's strength is growing stronger.

The sphere of influence and industries he could extend to grew larger and larger as his own strength and influence increased.

Therefore, he needs to become stronger and continue to grow at the fastest efficiency.

Even while taking a walk with Winnie, Liang Yue was distracted by circulating the Selfless Sword Qi within her body.

He remembered that some anime featured the concept of breathing techniques, so he wanted to try circulating the Selfless Sword Qi within his body, combined with a special breathing method, to make himself even stronger.

After taking Winnie on a tour of the biggest casino, Winnie's eyes practically sparkled with excitement.

"Winnie is so happy! This is the happiest time of Winnie's life!"

Winnie's smile never stopped, because everyone around her was very kind since she was with Liang Yue.

Liang Yue rubbed Winnie's head, "Winnie, you must become stronger. Practice the Selfless Sword Technique diligently."

Only by possessing power can one control their own destiny!

"Yes! Winnie must protect Liang Yue!"

Winnie nodded seriously, and as Liang Yue rubbed her head, she let out a comfortable snoring sound.

After gaining power, Winnie, do you actually value me more than yourself?
Liang Yue's feelings were complicated. He took Winnie back to the Hearth Hall.

Hestia rushed out of the room and hugged Liang Yue tightly. "Liang Yue! You're back!"

Liang Yue nodded, but before she could rest for long, Eina knocked on the door.

Eina placed a letter of instruction in Hestia's hand.

"Lady Hestia, Mr. Liang Yue, this is a top-secret mission from the guild. Unlike a commission, this is mandatory, so you have no way to refuse."

Liang Yue smiled and said, "Haven't we taken on enough mandatory guild quests already?"

Eina gave a wry smile. "Indeed, you've all worked very hard."

Hestia's expression became complicated, and then she handed the mission sheet to Liang Yue.

Liang Yue read through the contents and then handed it to Eina.

"Miss Eina, please take a look at the contents for me."

"Huh? Is it really okay for me to see?" Eina was a little surprised. She glanced at Liang Yue and then told her what was going on.

"The instructions above are to take the Dragon Girl to the twentieth underground level."

Liang Yue nodded, secretly resolving to learn the language of this world properly.

Otherwise, it's really not good to always be illiterate.

After Eina left, Liang Yue led everyone to begin preparations.

Of course, Lily was mainly responsible for preparing supplies, while Daphne needed to plan the details according to the general direction specified by Liang Yue.

Liang Yue took some time to sit cross-legged and meditate.

There isn't enough time, so we must make the most of every second.

Hestia saw Liang Yue and her group off at the towering Tower of Babel, and then, following the hidden text in the letter of commission, walked toward a secluded corner.

It was already daytime, but there was no one around.

It was as if some kind of magic had been used beforehand to dispel or hypnotize all living beings in the vicinity.

The surroundings were unusually quiet, yet Hestia bravely walked over, even though she was alone.

In the ruins of Orario, Hestia arrives at the hidden location of the guild's request.

A figure completely concealed in a cloak appeared and bowed to Hestia:

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Goddess Hestia. I am deeply humbled by your presence."

He was Fels, Uranus's personal mercenary, and the "Sage" who had successfully created the "Philosopher's Stone," which could grant immortality to mortals.

"Are you really a mortal? Your aura is off."

With just one glance, Hestia realized that something was very wrong with the being before her; at the very least, it lacked any human aura. "I never imagined that any disguise would be futile before a god."

Fels removed his hood, and a bare skull appeared in front of Hestia.

"This is my current situation, I'm really sorry. Please follow me this way."

Fels bowed slightly and walked toward a secluded corner.

Hestia wasn't afraid at all, and followed Fels directly into a magic circle.

After that, they burrowed underground into a special secret passage and continued forward...

Fels left, and Hestia continued along the road until she finally saw Uranus sitting on his throne.

"It's been a long time, Hestia."

"It really is you, Uranus!"

Uranus had white hair and beard, and wore a purple cloak over his upper body. He was stern and unsmiling.

"Uranus, who exactly is that dragon girl? What's happening in the dungeon? What are you hiding?"

…………

Underground city

Liang Yue and the others led Winnie forward steadily, and Liang Yue used her sword energy to kill all the monsters they encountered along the way.

He looked at Winnie, "Winnie, did you feel bad when I killed these monsters?"

Winnie shook her head. "They're going to attack Liang Yue, so we can kill them!"

"I'm relieved to hear that."

To be honest, Liang Yue was quite good at distinguishing these monsters.

Regardless of whether the other party is a heretic or not, as long as they harbor murderous intent towards them, they can all be killed.

If you point your blade at him and reveal your murderous intent, then you should be prepared to be killed by him.

The 19th floor of the underground city:

A swarm of wasp monsters capable of firing stingers and producing Gatling gun-like sounds approached.

Liang Yue can now easily sever the mouthparts of even a mosquito without killing it.

He was much more efficient at killing these gigantic wasps.

The twentieth floor of the underground city.

Following the map in the letter of authorization, Liang Yue and the others arrived at the unexplored area on the twentieth floor.

Just like the previous hot springs, this was their first time experiencing this place.

The tunnels were surrounded by lush greenery and adorned with luminous sky-blue crystals.

Lily looked at the map with a puzzled expression. "Is the guild playing a trick on us? There's nothing around here."

Winnie came out, put down her red cloak hood, and opened her ears to hear the faint singing.

Winnie turned to look at Liang Yue, "Liang Yue, the song is behind this rock!"

Liang Yue took out Slaanesh and slashed at the stone wall in front of her. After being imbued with the sword energy of selflessness, Slaanesh's sharpness was extremely outstanding.

So a large hole was neatly cut into the stone wall, and Liang Yue and the others walked in through the hole.

After walking for a few more minutes, a lizardman wearing equipment and carrying a sword and a knife appeared.

There were no more glowing crystals here, and the surroundings were unusually dark. Only the runic lamp in Liang Yue's left hand could provide a light source.

The opponent first roared to the sky, then pounced directly towards Liang Yue's position.

This guy is very strong; his strength is at least Lv5.
It would be quite interesting to have someone as a sparring partner; Liang Yue didn't sense any killing intent from her opponent.

Then let's have a little friendly spar.

The longsword slashed towards Liang Yue, but Liang Yue easily deflected the attack with her right hand gripping the sword.

Liang Yue tossed the rune lamp in her left hand to the people behind her, and then directly drew the Sloth Samurai Sword with her left hand.

Lily threw out the green moss and scattered it around, which led her to spot the dozens of monsters surrounding them.

They were all carrying equipment and didn't look very friendly.

"What's going on? Why is the monster wearing equipment?"

A large group of monsters rushed towards Winnie. Although Winnie was scared, she still took out the weapon that Liang Yue had given her.

She had to fight too. To protect Liang Yue, she had to stand up even if she was scared!
Compared to Ming and the others, these monsters are at least one level stronger on average.

Apart from the lizardman leader, the other monsters were at least level 2, with most being level 3.
Liang Yue, feeling listless, returned to its sheath, then suddenly drew it out.

A chilling white mist of sword energy was suddenly released. The leading lizardman easily dodged it, but some of the monsters behind him were not spared.

The moment they were enveloped in white mist, chilling ice covered their bodies, freezing the monsters.

Liang Yue unleashed his Triple Slash to clash with the lizardman, but his attack was easily blocked, and the opponent even launched a counterattack.

However, the lizardmen's counterattack was met with Liang Yue's defensive counterattack.

While the sword energy of selflessness was in a state of indolence and defense, the force of the counterattack, wrapped in a hurricane, was suddenly released.

The lizardman was blown off balance by the hurricane.

"Fierce Dragon Sky-Splitting Slash!"

The golden dragon head and the dragon's roar appeared at the same time. Liang Yue held her samurai sword in reverse and sent her opponent flying dozens of meters with a single strike.

Next, Liang Yue unleashed a high-speed Triple Slash, and Sloth charged up again, several segments of Selfless Sword Qi mixed with a white, cold light, freezing all the remaining monsters.

"Hahaha, that hurts so much!"

The lizardman crawled out of the ruins, clutching his aching chest and laughing heartily.

"Brother, you almost killed me just now."

Liang Yue snorted coldly, "If I hadn't sensed that you had no killing intent, you would all be dead by now."

The lizardman ran up to Liang Yue and then prostrated himself on the ground.

"We are very sorry, we just wanted to know the strength of you adventurers, and whether you would betray the Dragon Girl in a dangerous situation."

“Reed, I already told you. They are different.”

A siren landed beside Reed the lizardman. She had a beautiful face, fair skin, and an exceptionally graceful figure.

The arms are like the soft feathers of a bird, and the legs are like the lower limbs of a bird...

But just her face and figure are enough to make her a stunning beauty. For example, that enormous evil.

Her name is Lei Yi, and she possesses exceptional flying abilities. She is also a Level 5 heretic.

"Excuse me, my friends want to see your attitude towards the Dragon Girl. They want to know who the adventurers who are protecting our people really are."

"Would you abandon her if we encountered danger? But seeing how strong you are, it seems unlikely she'll face any real danger."

Lei Yi also bowed to Liang Yue and the others to apologize.

The monsters surrounding Liang Yue included demonic rabbits, siren hordes, griffins, and more...
