The Warrior of Love

It turns out that he is an acquaintance who would be a little awkward to meet.

Loki is a woman with no figure to speak of and a very flat chest. However, if you only look at her facial features, she is pretty good. Her squinting eyes make her look both silly and cunning, and very unpredictable.

Hestia expressed obvious rejection of her arrival: "What are you doing coming over here? I didn't invite you, and I'm not short! I just look young, you old lady!"

"Tsk, what did you say?"

Loki was irritated: "Dwarf... weren't you driven away by Hephaestus? Shouldn't you have wandered the streets and then starved to death and returned to heaven? Why are you eating leisurely here?"

"Humph!"

Hestia reached out and hugged Bell, saying proudly, "Don't underestimate me, Loki. I am a goddess who can do whatever I want. This is my Familia: Bell-kun! How about it, isn't it cute?"

Loki curled his lips and said, "So you fooled a child... Hey, you look so inexperienced. Leave this dwarf as soon as possible. She is not fit to be a main god."

Facing the gods, Bell couldn't argue and just smiled awkwardly.

"Why do I feel like so many people are trying to persuade me to leave my clan today?"

"no!"

Hestia hugged Bell tightly with both hands and glared at Loki with hostility.

"Bell-kun is mine, no one can take him away from me, get out of here, washboard!"

"Wash—you fat bitch!"

"Haha, this isn't fat, this is a sign of girlishness. No matter how jealous people who don't have it are, it's useless. Give up, you flat-chested girl, you'll never be feminine in your life!"

"Nonsense--ugh!"

The two goddesses who were arguing suddenly froze, and the air suddenly solidified.

They looked subtly at the third goddess present, Hebe, who had said nothing from beginning to end.

The two goddesses were silent, their eyes fixed on Hebe's chest, which had no movement at all, and they turned away guiltily.

"Y-yeah, well I was wrong."

"I have my faults too... I apologize, Hestia."

"Oh, that's great. You two are my friends. I don't want you to quarrel."

Heber narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Besides, as a goddess, how can you say such indecent words? Really, it makes me feel inexplicably irritated."

"Uh..." A drop of cold sweat slowly flowed down Jiang Liu's forehead. For some reason, even though it had nothing to do with him, he could still feel an invisible pressure being released from his own Lord God.

“Oh, by the way, is this man Hebe, one of your followers?” Loki noticed Jiang Liu and quickly changed the subject.

"Oh, he has a good appearance and a decent body. He looks like he will be an excellent adventurer. Hebe, you have good taste. How did you find him?"

"The guidance of destiny."

"Destiny... you still like this kind of tune. Well, we have some friendship in the heavens, so you can come to me if you have any problems in the future. Unlike Hestia, I will definitely help you if you ask, hehe."

"Thank you for your kindness, but it's not necessary."

Heber smiled slightly: "My family is very capable."

Chapter 180: Be Kind to Others Jiang Liujun

After saying some irrelevant words, the red-haired goddess left. The adventurers from Loki's clan seemed to have long been accustomed to the actions of their own god and did not seem surprised at all.

Jiang Liu also exchanged a glance with the blond adventurer from the Dwarf Tribe. The two smiled at each other and raised their glasses to each other from a distance.

When he looked away, he caught a glimpse of a beautiful blonde female swordsman who looked like a fairy out of the corner of his eye, and Jiang Liu secretly sighed in his heart.

"I wonder which one of her and Hestia is the heroine of the story..."

But after all, this is just the "animation plot" that he watched in the previous life. Jiang Liu is now in the real world, and there is no such thing as the halo of the protagonist, so it is best not to care too much and just let things take their course.

As long as Loki's family and Sword Princess don't provoke him, he won't have nothing better to do than to tease them.

Just when Jiang Liu was losing interest, the blond dwarf on the opposite side, Finn, the leader of the Loki clan, became interested in Jiang Liu.

"So that's it, it's them." There was a gleam of wisdom in Finn's eyes, and he seemed to understand something.

The cold and arrogant female elf mage next to her frowned: "What are you talking about?"

"Livelia, you should have heard the information that has been circulating in the city recently."

The female elf thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "The boy carrying the huge magic stone? Everyone says that a small clan has conquered the floor master, but Finn, you should also know that the conquest of each floor master will be recorded by the guild to inform adventurers whether they can pass the floor.

And when we came back from this expedition, what we saw and heard along the way matched the guild's records perfectly, so there shouldn't be any missed floor master subjugation battles."

“Not necessarily the floor owner.”

Finn smiled and said, "It is said that the magic stone was bought by a certain magical power in the outside world to be used to make special magic tools. Among the family members hired to escort it, there is an acquaintance of mine. He said that the quality of the two magic stones does not match that of the known floor masters. They are treasures he has never seen before."

Livilia frowned and asked, "Are you saying that someone discovered the unknown floor master and then conquered him?"

"It's very possible."

"But we should all know about the Familia that possess this power... Finn, you don't believe the urban legend and really think that this was done by the new Familia, do you?"

"Maybe not. Maybe it was the work of a certain big family in secret. But the two boys who sold magic stones in the urban legend do exist."

Finn glanced cryptically in the other direction.

"Also, one of them has very conspicuous white hair and red eyes."

"Ok?"

Livilia also took a look and found Bell who was eating.

"Are you...them?"

"I have only seen such a unique appearance a few times in the whole of Orario, and it is a new face. It can't be such a coincidence. This should be it."

Finn spread his hands. “Of course, I don’t think this unknown little clan can do it, but maybe someone else commissioned them to sell it.”

"Even if that's the case, what's the purpose?" The female elf was a serious person and she had to get to the bottom of it.

"There must be some reason, like he wants to hide his strength or something, that makes sense."

Finn then pondered, "However, according to the intelligence, the people who came to the guild at that time were two teenagers, and the one who carried the huge magic stone and showed amazing arm strength was a black-haired man."

The dwarf warrior looked at Jiang Liu again, stared at him for a moment, and shook his head.

"This person should be quite capable, but he doesn't look like a 'skinny boy'. It seems that the person from that day is not here."

-

Jiang Liu had no idea that he had been analyzed, but even if he knew he probably wouldn't care.

After entering the "maturity stage", not only his appearance changed, but his physical attributes were also elevated to a new level, completely comparable to or even surpassing himself before meeting Tiamat.

This is just the beginning of the "maturity stage". When this stage reaches its peak, I'm afraid I'll be able to suppress EX-level servants (Gold Triple Target Level) with my bare hands.

Not to mention that he also ate the "Golden Apple" and got a surprise - the "Hundred Layers of Rashomon" could be unlocked.

Oh, it could have been unsealed originally, but once too many seals were opened, it would be easy to hurt yourself, so to be more precise, the "ability to withstand seals" has increased.

The golden apple is a sacred object that can cleanse the soul, removing impurities and returning to the "essence". In other words, it has a meditative effect similar to the Buddhist relics.

Even the desolation and loneliness accumulated over hundreds of millions of years by gods can be temporarily suppressed, making them like ordinary people, which is enough to prove the powerful effect.

The reason why it is ineffective for mortals is that mortals are generally good at "forgetting" and will subconsciously cleanse their minds.

Their mental power is limited, and their "capacity" for negative emotions is also limited. They simply don't have enough time and mental power to support the negative emotions that are so huge that they need to be cleared by the golden apple.

After just a few decades of accumulated emotions, eating a golden apple might just make you feel extra refreshed.

And those who are particularly "gifted" with negative emotions have probably ruined themselves long ago...

Among the mortal races, perhaps only the elves can truly feel the effects of the golden apple, but most elves do not accumulate so many negative emotions.

Of course, the number of golden apples was so small, and they only appeared in large numbers twice, so very few mortals came into contact with them. And among those people there were obviously no psychopaths such as pleasure-seekers and murderers, so in the eyes of mortals, the golden apples were "worthless."

——Of course Jiang Liu didn’t know all this, he only knew that the golden apple was useful to him.

If he had not sealed himself during the time in hell, he would have become a Shura among Shuras. Even with his current mental strength that can rival that of the heroes of the Age of Gods, he is still unable to bear such horrible negative emotions.

He had to be very cautious when opening the "Hundred Layers of Rashomon", for fear of killing himself.

This time, eating the golden apple brought him an unexpected surprise. It thoroughly cleansed his soul and made his already powerful mental strength even more solid.

And "The Original Book of All Things" did not miss this opportunity, and directly analyzed the effect of the golden apple on the "page" of "Hundred Layers of Rashomon", which permanently solidified this blockade and also helped him suppress the huge negative emotions deep inside.

If the original "Hundred-Layered Rashomon" was a huge iron box that locked up the darkness, then the spiritual power after being baptized by the golden apple was equivalent to putting another circle of chains on the outside of the iron box, making it more stable and no longer easily broken.

In the past, Jiang Liu could only unlock one tenth of the seal at most, but now he can control two or three tenths, which is quite surprising.

If he had not eaten another one later and found no obvious improvement, Jiang Liu might have eaten all the golden apples for himself.

Now, in Jiang Liu's eyes, this thing is just a mental sedative similar to the relics. He does not realize its significance to the gods, so he does not plan to let Heber and the others eat it.

To be honest, Jiang Liu is now worried about what to do with the remaining golden apples.

All in all, Jiang Liu is now stronger than before. In the world view of "Dungeon", anything that can threaten him... except for the gods who have liberated their divine power, is really hard to find.

If that's the case, what does he need to worry about?

Becoming an urban legend might attract other people's attention?

Then just pay attention!

Although he doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble, if someone provokes him, he will make others understand that there are some things that you can't regret once you do them.

Humph, I am the leader of the Heber clan, the great hero Yuanshan o Hercules o Jiangliu—

clang!

With a clang, the sharp dark dagger was bounced away by Jiang Liu and stabbed into the wall.

Protecting Heber behind him, Jiang Liu's eyes twitched and his expression gradually became a little out of control.

——There really are people who are blind!

When Jiang Liu and his three companions finished their meal and paid the bill, they walked out from the bountiful hostess. Halfway home, they passed by a relatively secluded place when they were suddenly attacked.

Jiang Liu himself was proficient in throwing flying props under Feng's guidance, so he knew very well that the attack just now was not aimed at him but at Heber behind him. In addition, the dagger had been specially treated and was almost invisible in the dark. If it weren't for Jiang Liu's protection, Heber would probably have been hit!

Although it can be seen that this attack was not fatal and the purpose was probably just to injure Heber or poison him as a threat, it was enough to make Jiang Liu angry.

I feel real anger—this is the first time since I came into this world!

"Hmph, it seems that the little devil who defeated the floor master is not here, just in time."

In the darkness, several figures of different sizes emerged, vaguely surrounding the four people.

"Haha, if what the intelligence says is true, we would be in a lot of trouble if that kid was here, but since he's not here, a bunch of trash——"

"boom--"

Before the man could finish his words, a shocking air explosion sounded, and he was blown far away in the twisted wind pressure vortex.

He rolled to the ground like a rotten rag, his life or death unknown, and where he had been standing, a few drops of blood were just flying with the wind pressure...

"Ugh?"

After a long silence, the assassins came to their senses.

"What... happened just now?"

Has the battle begun? Is it magic?

If I am not mistaken, their leader was killed in one blow? No, no, no, did anyone really see what happened just now?

What a joke!

Their leader is level 5!

Even if the ridiculously strong young man mentioned in the intelligence really existed, a level 5 shouldn't be so weak. What's more, the young man in front of him was not that person!

For a moment, the assassins were so shaken that they even forgot to escape.

"You're lucky."

In the dark night, Jiang Liu showed his white teeth and smiled gently.

"At least one will survive."
