Wrong Ground, Spiral Twins

"This is the power of God!"

Stretching one hand out of the window to catch the sunlight, Su Mo felt for the first time how insignificant he really was.

Comparing God and humans, the difference is even greater than comparing elephants and ants.

At this moment, the small figure of his goddess unconsciously emerged in Su Mo's mind, and he couldn't help but think of Welf, who stayed on the eighteenth floor last night and had not returned today.

The Realm of God...

As if wanting to grasp the rays of sunlight, Su Mo slowly closed his palms, withdrew his hand that was stretched out of the window, and finally turned around silently and continued to practice swordsmanship.

……——……

The clouds dispersed, and the afterglow of the sun on that day appeared particularly bright red.

Leaving the Dusk Pavilion at dusk, Su Mo and Bell returned to the clan’s residence in the bright red afterglow.

At home, several people were setting food on the table and preparing dinner.

Although it is not as good as a banquet, the food tonight is obviously much richer than usual.

"Ishtar finally left, and she was sent off by Freya, whom I hated the most. What a pity! If I had known about this in advance, I would have gone to see it."

Hestia said "what a pity", but everyone could see that she was in a very good mood, and her whole body was emitting a cheerful aura.

"Did Haruhime convert?"

"Of course, it was noon, and after Ishtar was sent away, I helped Haruhime convert after lunch."

Su Mo nodded, then raised his hand towards the fox girl two steps away.

"Click..."

A slight metallic breaking sound was heard, and the black collar around the fox girl's neck fell off and floated into Su Mo's palm.

Aisha's final instructions were correct. The cursed object, which had completely lost the control of its owner, did not activate the curse when it was forcibly destroyed. It was like an ordinary collar. Finally, Su Mo squeezed it into a ball and threw it into the corner, accurately sinking into a wooden box filled with various metals.

It was not until the ball entered the box that the fox girl realized what was happening and she stupidly touched her neck with her fingers.

The black curse that had bound her for so many years was eliminated just like that?

After confirming this fact, Haruhime felt that her feelings at the moment were somewhat difficult to describe.

Joy, relief, sadness, emptiness, no matter which feeling it is, it seems wrong...

To her, the goddess Ishtar was a very terrifying existence. However, if she had not been picked up by the goddess, she could not imagine what kind of life she would be living now.

The goddess gave her a new home, a new beginning, and the best protection, but that protection was also a solid, inescapable cage, and all of this seemed to disappear at this moment as the black collar fell off.

"Say goodbye to the past."

Hearing Su Mo's words, Chun Ji's eyes turned, looking at the faces that were either smiling, encouraging, or gentle. She wanted to smile and nod, but her vision couldn't help but become a little blurry.

It was at this time that the little goddess took her hand and let her sit in her own seat.

"It's a farewell, but also a celebration. We finally got that Ishtar back, so we have to celebrate. Let's have a drink together."

Several people also walked to the long table one after another. After hearing the words of their main god, they quickly took out the juice and wine glasses. When the five wine glasses were filled, the next moment, they clinked together.

"Cheers!" X5.

Dinner began with the clinking of wine glasses, and the overflowing tears disappeared in the scattered words.

"Master Su Mo, is there anything I can do within the clan?"

"You will gradually understand this kind of thing over time. If you feel like you have nothing to do recently, you can follow the Lord God and get familiar with the clan. No matter what, you have to start with familiarity... By the way, I still have a magic book left. I'll give it to you later. Take a look when you have time."

"what……?"

Chun Ji couldn't help but be dazed.

Spellbook, could it be the spellbook whose value is comparable to that of first-level weapons?

"It's just right as a welcome gift."

"I don't need such expensive..."

Su Mo raised his hand to interrupt the fox girl before she finished her words. "I no longer have any use for the magic book. It's just what I have left. Selling it for money is stupid, and keeping it is even more stupid. The way to truly show its value is to let the right person use it."

"That shouldn't be used by a little girl, Lord Bell..."

When Bell heard his name, he immediately said, "I've read one."

Noticing the fox girl's gaze, Lily immediately shook her head, "Lily is not yet a member of Hestia's family."

"You are the most suitable person to use it here, so don't refuse it. After you accept it, use it when you have time."

Su Mo did not give the fox girl a chance to refuse and continued to explain: "When Lililuka joined the team, I also prepared some self-protection methods for her, and you... To be honest, you are more worrying than Lililuka."

"You have been with the Ishtar clan and the Amazons for so long, but you haven't learned much from them. I guess you are not good at fighting. Even if you start training now, it will be difficult to quickly improve your strength. Therefore, the only way to quickly improve your strength is the magic book."

After some explanation, Bell nodded repeatedly, "Take it, Miss Haruhime! Our clan is in a bit of danger right now, and it's always good to have more strength at this time."

"Ms. Haruhime, we are not as strong or as numerous as the Ishtar clan right now, so it is naturally difficult for us to protect you as well. We can help you improve your strength, which is also a form of protection for you."

"Anyway, Haruhime, just accept it."

Hestia ended the topic directly, "I will urge you to use it."

Except for 'Magic Power', all other basic attributes are at the lowest level 'I'. She is indeed the one who needs to improve her strength the most.

201

Chapter 201 Prevention.

Everyone agreed, so Haruhime had to stop talking.

Seeing this, Su Mo immediately talked about his schedule for tomorrow, "I will go to the underground city tomorrow morning to pick someone up."

"Pick up Mr. Welf?"

"It's someone else."

Su Mo shook his head slightly. "Maybe only Chun Ji has seen her here. Well, that's the LV.5 who I mentioned before, who will join our clan soon. She's a very outstanding magician."

"Is that the blue-haired lady?"

The battle at Mellen Port had only been over for a few days, so Chun Ji would certainly not forget so quickly the wizard who caused the defeat of the Ishtar clan with just one spell.

"That's her. But calling her 'madam' isn't quite appropriate. She's actually younger than you."

"Her name is Mary. The addition of a first-level adventurer will definitely greatly ease the current situation of the clan. She is also a super powerful magician that is hard to find in Orario. She can fully supplement our firepower. After that, we only need to find another healer, and the team's configuration will be basically complete."

LV.5, Wizard... Bell and Lilyluka naturally knew what kind of changes the joining of a first-level adventurer could bring to the clan.

"Captain, what preparations should we make?"

"What time do you leave tomorrow morning?"

"You guys do your own thing, just pick someone up, I can go alone."

Su Mo paused for a moment and said, "We should be prepared. Her identity is quite special, even a little extraordinary. I hope you can be mentally prepared."

Mali's identity can be hidden from outsiders, but it is absolutely impossible to hide it from the people around her who live under the same roof.

With the foresight in his memory as a reference, he was not too worried about whether the few people could accept Mary. However, knowing the existence of the heretic might have some impact on their cognition, so it would be best if they could do some psychological preparation in advance.

"Is he a very noble man?"

Su Mo shook his head. "She's not noble, but very special. Strictly speaking, she is actually a member of the guild... no, she is the private soldier of the old god, and this is only one of her special identities. As for the rest, you will naturally know it after she joins the clan."

"If I tell you in advance now, it will only make you have a preconceived idea. When you meet and spend time together, it will lead to some counterproductive effects."

"Uranus's private soldiers..."

Hestia's eyes widened. "Besides that sage, Uranus actually has other private soldiers?"

"That great god never breaks his word."

Su Mo smiled and explained: "Like Fels, they have not received the 'favor' of the great god. The great god can only mobilize them, and they are not directly affiliated with the guild. They are not even a force that can be mobilized by the guild."

"They, in other words, there are actually more than one or two private soldiers... How many people does Uranus have hidden in secret?"

"Apart from the number of people, the restrictions are still quite large. After all, they rarely move on the surface and can only stay in the underground city most of the time."

"Can't see the light?"

"Almost, but it doesn't mean that they have committed any mistakes and need to hide their identities. If it were you, Lord God, you might know the reason the moment you saw her."

Hestia nodded slightly. "Uranus wouldn't want just anyone. Since he chose this person, I think his character wouldn't be too bad."

If it was a human... Su Mo added silently in his heart.

"So, this is actually the guild... No, it's the support from that great god for us?"

Lilyluka sought final confirmation.

In fact, when she heard that the Level 5 wizard was the private soldier of the god Uranus, most of her doubts were resolved.

A hero like LV.5 would not appear casually, nor would he be unknown, but if this was related to the great god who participated in most of the history of Orario, and this person was specially trained by that great god, then everything could be explained.

Realizing that the dwarfs might have misunderstood, Su Mo still nodded and replied: "The great god does agree and support this."

'I knew it!'

The dwarfs immediately showed a look that said, "I understand everything."

Given the relationship between the Hestia Familia and the guild, knowing that the Hestia Familia is currently short of manpower and in a somewhat bad situation, it is only natural to support a first-level adventurer to help the Hestia Familia overcome difficulties and protect the two supernovas to grow.

"If he doesn't support it, I should talk to him."

"But why do we have to go to the underground city to pick someone up?"

Haruhime was a little confused.

Even if you stay in the dungeon for a long time and are not familiar with the surface, wouldn't it be better to meet at the entrance or exit of the dungeon? Why choose a more troublesome way and have someone go down to the dungeon to pick you up?

Hestia also noticed something was wrong and immediately asked, "Where are we going to pick them up? Which floor do we have to go down to?"

Facing the questioning look from his Lord God, Su Mo put down the knife and fork in his hand obediently, "The 25th floor, Water City."

"..."

All the sounds of dining disappeared at this moment.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became quiet.

"Lower level!"

Hestia gritted her teeth and asked, "Uranus asked you to go to the lower level?"

"Of course it's not what the god wants. This is just a small test from the parents. Empty words are not very convincing. If you want to take someone's child away, you have to prove your ability and character to the parents."

“But that’s the lower level…”

"I have an invisibility cloak and means to protect my life. I'm just going down to the 25th floor. If I don't even have this much courage and sincerity, why would anyone follow me?"

This is reasonable, but Hestia still doesn't think this is the best option. "I will go directly to Uranus to ask for the person."

"That great god can mobilize them to the limit. He can't be the master. It's better to say that this is just a test of this degree. The other party is actually giving that great god a lot of face."

Su Mo explained and comforted her, "Believe me, I am confident that we can only go down to the 5th floor. Besides, after going down there, I will not be the only one coming up. With a LV. by my side, my safety is still quite guaranteed."

"Can't they just come up and see us?"

"You will probably know this when you meet her, Lord God."

"..."

"Captain, how about I go with you?"

Bell suggested.

"Since they clearly told me to go alone, bringing someone with me would only cause trouble. Don't worry too much. After all, the reason they let me go is just because the parents want to see me in person. Maybe they will protect me in secret!"

202

Chapter 202: The Heretic's Wish.

"What protection?"

In the secret cave chamber illuminated by magic stone lamps and blue crystals, a stone dragon was loudly refutating, "I disagree. It's only the 25th floor, not the 30th floor. If he needs your secret protection to even reach this floor, how can he protect Mary?"

Although the 3th floor and above has been classified as the 'lower layer' by people on the surface, and the standard for reaching this place has been set to LV., in fact, this is more due to the terrain factors rather than the monsters here having fully reached the standard of the lower layer.
