"This is a gift from Lady Freya."
Lynn took the box, opened it, and found a beautifully designed ring inside.
The ring is set with a pale blue gemstone that emits a soft glow.
"This is……"
“A protective ring,” Otta explained. “It can protect the wearer from fatal injury in critical moments, but it can only be used once.”
This is an extremely precious magical artifact, priceless.
"It's too valuable, I can't accept it," Lynn tried to refuse.
“Lady Freya said she would be very angry if you didn’t accept it,” Allen said with a smile. “Believe me, you don’t want to see an angry Lady Freya.”
Lynn thought about it for a moment and finally accepted the ring.
"Please convey my gratitude to the Goddess."
“Yes, I will.” Ota nodded, then looked at the others in the room. “Get some rest. Orario needs you.”
After saying that, the members of Freya's Familia left.
The room fell silent again, everyone still immersed in the shock of what had just happened.
It is quite rare for the Freya Familia to visit in person.
“It seems you’ve really become famous,” Alexandra remarked.
Just then, another commotion arose outside.
Serti ran in again, her expression even stranger.
"What is it now?" Alexandra asked.
“The Loki Familia has arrived too.” Celty swallowed hard. “Captain Finn, and Sword Maiden and the others.”
"They're here too?" Alexie's eyes widened.
283. You are too modest.
Before Celty could finish speaking, the door to the room was already pushed open.
A sharper and more professional atmosphere, completely different from the opulent and glamorous aura of the Freya Familia, instantly filled the entire space.
Leading the group was Finn Dimna, a short man who was impossible to ignore.
His face, which always wore a warm smile, now held a hint of inquiry.
Behind him stood the impressive array of Loki's Familia.
Ais Wallenstein, the "Sword Maiden," is clad in light blue armor and has an expressionless face.
Holding a staff, the serene and composed "Nine Demon Princesses" Riveria Leos Alf...
“Looks like we’re not too late.” Finn’s gaze swept across the room, finally settling on Lynn, who was reclining on the bed. “She’s recovering faster than I expected.”
"Commander Finn." Lynn nodded, which was considered a greeting.
His gaze met that of Ais Wallenstein.
This woman, hailed as Orario's strongest swordswoman, simply watched him quietly. In her golden eyes, there was no hostility, only pure curiosity.
Finn walked to the bedside, pulled over a chair, and sat down naturally, his movements as practiced as if this were his command center.
“Mr. Lynn, I’m not here just to visit you in the hospital.” Finn got straight to the point. His smile remained unchanged, but a shrewd glint flashed in his small, beady eyes.
"The guild has received your report about everything that happened in the depths of the dungeon. However, a report is just a written record; I want to hear your own account."
The atmosphere in the room instantly became serious.
Everyone knew that this was the true purpose of Loki's Familia.
They didn't come to visit the sick; they came to gather intelligence.
Lynn glanced at Rivera, who was standing behind Finn, and she nodded slightly to him.
He cleared his throat and began to briefly recount what had happened after the fall, picking out the parts he could say.
He concealed the details of his ability fusion, only saying that he used some special skill to kill Alphia after she was exhausted and obtained a portion of her power.
Throughout the entire process, Finn listened quietly, his fingers rhythmically tapping on his knees.
Ais's expression remained unchanged, but her ears twitched slightly.
After Lynn finished speaking, a brief silence fell over the room.
"A fluke? Luck?" Finn's smile held a deeper meaning. "Mr. Lynn, you're too modest."
"Orario has never lacked geniuses, but I've only ever seen one who can combine luck and skill to this extent. You are the only one I've ever seen."
He stood up and his gaze swept over everyone in the room.
The gaze swept over Kaguya's wary face, over Haruhime's worried expression, over Alisha's tightly gripping rapier, and finally returned to Lynn's face.
"Your existence has changed the landscape of Orario. Whether for better or worse, that's a fact."
"The Freya Familia has sent a gift, and we, the Loki Familia, cannot be stingy."
Finn took out a gold-embossed invitation from his pocket.
"What is this?" Alexie asked curiously.
"Tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM, Guild Headquarters, Supreme Command Room." Finn placed the invitation on the bedside table next to Lynn's bed.
"Orario's highest-level post-war debriefing meeting."
A strange smile curved at the corners of Finn's mouth.
"Mr. Lynn was the only attendee who was invited in his personal capacity."
Finn's words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.
0...Requesting flowers...0
Alexie and Haruhime gaped, their faces filled with disbelief.
Kaguya was also stunned, and her hand gripping the knife tightened instinctively.
The highest-level postwar conference?
The attendees were all top figures in the Orario pyramid?
Lynn, a newbie at LV4 and a wounded soldier who had just struggled back from the brink of death, was actually invited to participate.
This is no longer a matter of honor; it represents a form of recognition.
A recognition of Lynn's personal abilities and value from the highest levels of power in Orario.
........... 0
"Why?" Lynn asked the question that was on everyone's mind.
“Because of this war, you are the most crucial variable, both on the surface and underground.” Finn’s answer was simple and direct.
"We need your intelligence, your perspective, and even... your judgment."
After the leader of the dwarf race finished speaking, he did not linger.
"Get some rest, Mr. Lynn. Tomorrow's meeting may determine Orario's future over the next decade."
He led the Loki Familia and left, exuding the same decisive and efficient aura as they had when they arrived.
In the room, only the group of people looked at each other blankly, along with the gold-embossed invitation card that shimmered under the magic stone lamp.
"Alright, everyone, stop crowding around." Goddess Astraea clapped her hands. "Lynn needs to rest; he has important matters to attend to tomorrow."
Everyone then realized that although Lynn had woken up, he was still very weak.
"I'll go prepare dinner," Chunji said, "Lord Lynn needs to replenish his nutrition."
“I’ll help you.” Maru followed.
The others also dispersed, and soon only Lynn and Astrid remained in the room.
284, LV5
"How are you feeling?" Astrea, the goddess of the Astrea Familia, sat down by the bed and asked gently.
“Excellent, better than ever before.” Lynn flexed his fingers. “The power within my body has been completely integrated.”
Astraea nodded: "Then let's update the favor. I want to see your current status."
Lynn turned over, his back to the goddess. Warm hands pressed against his back, and a divine light began to shimmer.
A few minutes later, Astraea stopped.
She stared at the sacred writing that appeared on Lynn's back, her expression shifting from calm to surprise, and then to shock.
"This...how is this possible?"
Hearing the goddess's exclamation, Lynn turned around: "What's wrong?"
"705U.COM" Astraea took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down: "Your level... has reached LV5."
“LV5?” Lynn was also stunned.
He knew he had undergone tremendous changes in the depths of the dungeon, but he never expected to jump directly to a major level.
“It’s not just your level,” Astraea continued, “your base stats have also changed dramatically. Strength A, Endurance A, Dexterity B, Agility A, Magic S.”
This data surpasses that of the vast majority of LV5 adventurers.
“And…” Astraea’s voice trembled slightly, “you have gained a new skill.”
"What skill?"
"【Dragon Blood Boiling】: During battle, all attributes receive incremental enhancements as the battle progresses and the severity of injuries increases. When health drops below the danger threshold, Dragon Transformation is triggered, granting an overwhelming power boost for a short period of time."
Lynn was also shocked after hearing this.
The effect of this skill is practically tailor-made for protracted battles and desperate counterattacks.
“There’s one more,” Astraea continued, “[Proof of Heroism]: When facing powerful enemies, one will not feel fear or retreat. When teammates are present, the entire team receives a morale boost and a slight ability enhancement. When an entity recognized as a hero attacks, it deals additional damage to enemies with evil attributes.”
Both of these skills are extremely rare.
In particular, the "Proof of Heroes" skill, which includes the word "hero," is one of the most rare skills in the entire history of Orario.
