Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

Of course, the main reason why it didn't reach dozens of times more than a normal adventurer's exploration is that the drop rate of the monsters that Shirou Emiya killed was not very high.

"It must have reached tens of millions—"

Liu glanced at the money pouch in Lily's hand and stated it casually.

"Such a great harvest!"

Hill, who had come closer, couldn't help but cover his lips in amazement when he saw the bag full of Farley.

I wonder how long I would have to work in the tavern to earn that much money.

"How many floors have you explored today? Did you perhaps defeat a floor master?"

Ten million Fali is an astronomical figure that is almost unattainable for most adventurers.

Of course, this number is not much for the Loki Familia, the most powerful faction in Orario.

Because the Fali they obtain from a single expedition is usually in the tens of millions.

The weapons carried by the frontline members of their clan are worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

However, as the number of floors increases, the time required and the danger also increase.

Even Loki's Familia only decides to launch expeditions at certain intervals.

"——————"

As Hill finished speaking, the room suddenly fell silent.

"Did I say something wrong?"

Seeing the atmosphere suddenly turn sour, Hill wondered if he had said something he shouldn't have.

"No, it's just that we didn't expect to be able to break into that level under those circumstances."

As she spoke, Ryu involuntarily glanced at Shirou Emiya, who was standing silently to the side, and then slowly began to speak.

"38th floor—"

After saying that, Liu drank the cold water next to her in one gulp.

"????"

"????????"

Not only Hill, but even Mia standing to the side had a face full of questions.

Do you want to hear what you are saying?

The 38th floor is already a deep area.

Its monster level has reached a terrifying LV4.

Reaching the 38th floor means that Shirou Emiya and his companions failed to make it through.

But the 37th floor is still a deep floor!

In their eyes, Shirou Emiya is roughly equivalent to a Level 2 adventurer.

Ryu and the others knew her quite well; she was basically at the peak of LV4, and her strength was not to be underestimated even among LV5.

One LV4, one LV2, and one LV1 all made it through the 37th floor.

Is this reasonable?

This is completely unreasonable.

Of course, Eina from the guild thought the same thing.

But such a large magic crystal cannot be faked.

Even a level 6 player cannot bring a level 2 player and a level 1 player to the 38th floor.

In terms of levels, the only significant difference is between LV1 and LV2.

There is almost a huge gap between LV1 and LV2.

However, after LV2, the differences between the various levels are not as obvious.

像是LV3与LV2发起争斗，也只会是LV3赢得的概率更高，而并非是LV3一定能够战胜LV2。

This is why we weren't so surprised when we learned that Shirou Emiya had defeated Hyacinthus, who was at level 3, and we didn't immediately assume that Shirou Emiya had reached level 3.

After LV2, many things are possible.

Many level 2 mages can chant spells that can completely help level 5 or even level 6 adventurers who are fighting monsters.

There is no absolute difference in strength between the different levels.

This principle also applies to monsters.

Adventurers are generally stronger than monsters.

Level 4 adventurers almost always win when facing level 4 monsters one-on-one.

But the key point is that the monsters don't fight one-on-one; they appear one after another.

The deeper you go, the greater the probability of encountering groups of monsters.

However, Shirou Emiya and Ryuya, who had been exposed to so many monsters from the very beginning, were already used to it.

"No, but what?"

Hill seemed to have suddenly lost his mind and couldn't understand what Ryu was saying.

They didn't believe that Shirou Emiya and Ryu had accomplished this.

But we have no choice but to believe it.

Because Ryu would never lie about something like that.

In other words, Shirou Emiya and his companions did indeed reach the 38th floor.

They even came back alive.

That's the deepest part, full of level 4 monsters. One wrong move and you'll be stuck there forever.

Although Ryu is also LV4 and can easily defeat LV4 monsters, the number of monsters in the deeper levels should not be underestimated.

You could be killed by the monster if you're not careful.

Moreover, they were accompanied by a Level 2 and a Level 1, who should theoretically be in the middle level area as well.

Reaching directly to the deeper levels—is this joke going a bit too far?

Chapter 459 [Mortal]

"You're not flustered at all!"

As always, on the second day after exploring the dungeon, Shirou Emiya arrived at Hephaestus's workshop.

It was as if what happened the night before last had nothing to do with him.

Emiya Shirou's life remained perfectly regular.

The rumors and gossip outside seemed to have no effect on Shirou Emiya.

Upon hearing Hephaestus's teasing, Shirou Emiya immediately understood what she was referring to.

"There's nothing to panic about. This is a just cause. Someone has to stand up for those lower-level adventurers. Even if I'm punished in the end, I'll accept it gladly—"

Emiya Shirou took the hammer from Hephaestus, his tone unremarkable, as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.

"Is it really worth risking offending the gods just for those low-level adventurers you don't even know?"

Hephaestus looked at the composed Emiya Shirou and couldn't help but ask a question.

Almost everyone understood what Shirou Emiya wanted to do.

It is precisely because she understands what Shirou Emiya wants to do that she is even more confused.

The lower-level adventurers he had saved asked him this question.

The adventurer trying to persuade his Apollo Familia to surrender asked himself this question.

Eina, who had witnessed it countless times but could only turn a blind eye, asked herself this question.

Almost everyone I know will ask me whether it's worth it.

"I've heard the question of whether it's worth it far too many times."

But Shirou Emiya was not annoyed by this. Instead, he gently put down the hammer in his hand and looked at Hephaestus with unwavering determination.

"It is precisely because this matter is worthless in the eyes of everyone that I should do it even more!"

"I'm truly impressed by you. Who would help someone so selflessly? I really want to know what your past experiences were like!"

Looking at Shirou Emiya's determined gaze, Hephaestus couldn't help but smile. People like Shirou Emiya were truly likable from the bottom of one's heart.

As an adventurer without any special abilities, Shirou Emiya defeated hundreds of adventurers who had joined forces, and ultimately defeated the entire Apollo Familia.

They even beat up Apollo, the sun god.

This matter has spread throughout Orario.

Those gods who only care about having fun don't care about Apollo's feelings.

Rather, most of the gods felt a sense of pleasure upon seeing Apollo's dark face.

Apollo wanted to stop this embarrassing incident from spreading, but then he remembered that if he were caught by Shirou Emiya again, he might get punched for no reason.

Although his face had long since recovered, it still ached slightly.

So whenever he heard other adventurers discussing this matter, he could only stay in his clan's stronghold with a dark expression.

Apollo is now virtually unavailable on the streets of Orario.

This is the result of his own actions.

No one would pity such a self-willed god.

While some mocked Apollo, others feared Shirou Emiya.
