Zongman, the journey begins from the wrong place

Noah squeezed the paper tightly and nodded silently.

Again, unique magic and special skills are highly related to personal qualifications, past experiences, and inner landscape, and are almost an exposure and replay of a person's spiritual world.

Light Elegy, so this is the name of my magic?

Just like what was described in the chant, Noah's magic devoured everything, and was even more like the devil's magic than the devil's magic. It was an extraordinary magic that could devour everything, including matter and magic power, and even the enemy's attacks, and transform them into Noah's power.

Of course, there is no absolute invincibility in the world, just like water can extinguish fire, if the fire is big enough, the water will evaporate completely. Any conclusion that ignores measurement is meaningless.

Activating this magic not only causes great damage to his body, but also places a considerable burden on his mind.

Murderous intent, pain, sadness, despair, mourning, desire... these emotions will also flood into his inner world.

Sometimes Noah wondered if he was the devil.

After all, if this magic is used a few more times and he doesn't die, he will probably turn into an incarnation of darkness that is a hundred times more terrifying than the devil.

"Well, I don't care about other things, but now we are family, and I am your main god, so I ask you-"

Walking to the bed, Loki slapped Noah on the head.

"——You are absolutely not allowed to use that magic casually!"

The moment he saw that magic, Loki remembered the skill of his own problem child - the Revenge Princess.

That skill, which was activated by hatred, was probably the strongest output skill in the entire history of the Netherworld.

She originally thought that she, the princess, was invincible, but who knew that there was someone braver than Ais?

Whose main god’s family are these? I...oh, they are mine now.

There’s nothing we can do about it, we have to take care of it!

How come there are two of these terrifying skills at once?

Don't be fooled by the boy's mature and reliable appearance, but judging from his magic and skills, you can tell that he is definitely a problem child like Ais!

Oh, and an older problem child!

But forget it, just leave it all to Livilia. She is the best at taking care of problem children anyway.

The warmth coming from above his head made Noah slightly stunned and a little dazed.

Family, huh?

"Don't worry, I haven't found any reason to use this magic again..."

The brave Noah is dead!

Now he is the adventurer Noah!

Seeing Noah regain his spirits, Loki couldn't help but smile and waved.

"Now that you're all set, you can go now. Go find Livilia and have her arrange your next steps. Also, have her inform the cafeteria that they're holding a welcome party tonight! Hehehe, this way we can have a good drink!"

After getting the sword back, Noah was about to walk out of the bedroom when he suddenly stopped and turned around.

"Speaking of which, Loki, does the clan's cafeteria have a dedicated chef?"

"How can there be any money to waste, Hephaestus? The members all take turns to cook."

"In that case, can I be in charge of this dinner?"

Loki poured himself another glass of wine, drank it gulps, then raised his already drunken face and looked at Noah in confusion.

"what?"

“I’m still a little confident in my cooking skills!!”

20 Livilia has a headache

Surrounded by tall city walls, Orario always sees night earlier than the outside world.

When the western sky was still dyed red by the setting sun, magic stone lights had already lit up in various places in the city.

In this unsafe era, ordinary residents rushed back home as soon as possible, and only adventurers were still wandering in and out of taverns.

Based on Loki's principle of "everyone must eat breakfast and dinner together", except for the members who accepted the guild mission and were still on patrol, all members returned to the clan base camp, whether they were going to other clans to do business, enter the dungeon to adventure, or go to the guild during the day.

The Pavilion of Dusk is composed of seven spires surrounding a central tower, connected by stone skywalks.

Due to the main god's regretful hobby, Loki's family can be said to have more women than men, so the seven towers are divided into three for men and four for women.

Public facilities such as the library and restaurant are not concentrated in one place, but are scattered throughout the towers, which looks extremely chaotic.

Now, people are talking about what they have seen during the day, discussing plans for the next day, or complaining about the troubles they encountered while carrying out their missions...all kinds of conversations like these can be heard everywhere in these places.

Amidst the noise that rang out throughout the Dusk Hall, shouts of surprise were heard from an office high up in the North Tower.

"What's going on? This magic and skill!"

The huge bearded face was almost pressed against the table, and his huge eyes like copper bells were now even wider, staring at the paper spread out on the table.

Although he is not the deputy leader, he is also a dwarf who cares about the younger generations as an elder and is respected and close to the clan members.

Grace Landrock, a level 5 adventurer who was given the title of "Zhongjie" by the Lord God, looked at his Lord God.

"Hey, Loki, are you sure you're right?"

On the sofa, Loki crossed his legs, glanced at Grace sideways, and snorted as an answer.

So Grace scratched his head and had to look at the blond little man next to him.

"Finn? What do you think?"

Finn, who was nearly forty years old but still maintained the appearance of a beautiful boy due to the characteristics of the dwarfs and the level of grace, came to his senses.

Generally speaking, an adventurer's favor data, including ability values, magic, and skills, are secrets known only to the clan's main god and the adventurer himself.

After all, Orario is not a utopia without dangers. Not only are there dark factions lurking everywhere, but it is also common to be attacked by hostile clans in the dungeon.

Once personal ability data is leaked, adventurers are likely to suffer targeted attacks from enemies, greatly increasing the risk of death.

Therefore, not only do adventurers only need to reveal their level and dungeon exploration level to the guild, but some clans where combat is not intense will not even tell the leader.

However, the Loki family is an exploratory family that often has to go on expeditions to the front lines of the deep. Finn and his three commanders need, or rather, have an obligation, to understand the situation of each member.

Therefore, after obtaining Noah's consent, Loki showed the data to the three of them.

However, even Finn had never encountered such skills and magic before.

After taking another look at the data on the paper, the leader of the Loki clan sat on the large chair that was completely inconsistent with his small stature and nodded slowly.

"I'm also quite surprised, honestly. It reminds me of those monsters from seven years ago..."

The monsters Finn was talking about weren't the ones in the dungeon.

It is an abnormal existence that, although in human form, is more beyond the limits than a monster.

"Could this kid be a descendant of ancient heroes? No, he might even be stronger than them!"

Hearing Grace mention 'ancient heroes', Finn's gaze turned to the wall across the room.

A textile painting hangs above the white stone fireplace.

The pattern woven from gold and silver threads depicted an armored woman surrounded by various weapons such as spears, axes, hammers, and swords.

She is Fianna, the fictional goddess worshipped by the little people.

If the prologue of the Heroic Age was opened by the "clown" Argo, then the main theme throughout the Heroic Age was the "Fianna Knights" composed of the villain clan.

That was the first and last glory of the villain clan.

Even after the decline of the Dwarfs during the Age of Gods, the Knights of Fianna were reduced to the concept of the Goddess Fianna and were worshipped by all.

For Finn, who has always taken it as his mission to revive the ancient glory of the dwarf race, it is impossible for him to remain indifferent after seeing a being suspected to be the "descendant of an ancient hero" appear in front of him.

"Well, it's clear from several expeditions that the clan is lacking a strong vanguard core. I originally wanted to wait for Aisi to grow up, but now it seems that this has solved the urgent need. As long as he grows up..."

"Grace, it's a bit too early to say this now. Even the most promising adventurer is still very weak at level 1. If there is no one to educate and protect him..."

The leader of the dwarf tribe and the dwarf warrior looked at each other, and suddenly a smile appeared on the corners of their mouths. Their eyes were simultaneously focused on a certain elven royal family who had been silent in the room.

After hearing the word "education and protection", Livilia, who had been thinking about something, subconsciously became alert and met the gazes of the two.

"Wait...is it me again?"

Finn shrugged, spread his hands, and showed a frivolous smile that he would never show in front of the other members of the group.

"It can't be helped. After all, don't you already have experience raising children, ahem, educating new people?"

The dwarf uncle next to him also had a funny smile on his face, even showing a few big buck teeth.

"Yes, yes, this is a newcomer with great potential. Livilia, haven't you always been worried about the elven mages not being protected on the front lines? If this kid grows up, there will be absolutely no problem!"

If we only look at the levels, there seems to be a big gap between the Loki clan, which has only three level 5 members, and the Freya clan, which has one level 6, three level 5 members, and four level 4 members. However, the two are called the two major factions by the outside world.

The reason for this phenomenon is magic!

In addition to 'Nine Magic Princesses', the strongest magician in Orario, the Loki clan also has a magic troop composed of elven wizards.

In Orario, magic is the only means generally believed to be able to transcend level limits and defeat high-level adventurers.

Many adventurers believed that if the two clans went to war, then if Mengzhe and his companions were unable to kill Jiumoji before her bombardment magic was ready, then only the top four adventurers in Freya's clan would survive.

Therefore, the reason why the two major clans can be ranked side by side is not because they are completely equal in terms of level, but because both sides have the ability to die together with the other.

but--

'Who wants to perish with them?'

Whenever Livilia heard people praising her for being able to perish together with Freya's family, she was not happy at all.

However, it is an indisputable fact that Loki's family does not have as many powerful strikers as Freya's family.

After all, Finn had to command from the center, while Grace had more than enough defense but not enough speed to provide comprehensive support.

During the expedition, there were many times when monsters broke through the front-line defenses, causing casualties among the mage troops.

So... she was really happy to have a powerful swordsman like Noah join the clan.

Just the thought of having to take care of another child... a grown-up child who looks mature but might actually be as troublesome as Ais, made Livilia feel a sharp pain on both sides of her forehead.

21 Those who play tactics have dirty hearts!

"Really? I understand..."

After some hesitation, Livilia recalled the young elves who respected her, and finally nodded and accepted the task.

However, although he was called a guide, Noah was not a child of seven or eight years old after all, so he only needed to be taught some basic common sense of an adventurer.

And judging from our previous meetings, Noah should be a very mature and steady young man. I guess he doesn't need to spend too much time on him... right?

After looking at the magic and skills written on the paper, Livilia could only reluctantly comfort herself in her heart.

From the perspective of combat power, Livilia had no doubt that the boy would soon surpass her.

But from the perspective of whether the younger generation can make the older generation feel at ease and worry-free, Livilia has a very bad premonition.

An older problem child is more difficult to deal with than a simply paranoid little girl.

Looking at the elven royal family who were secretly distressed and entangled, Finn and Grace looked at each other, and a mischievous smile appeared in their eyes.

The perceptive Livilia immediately noticed the smiles in her companions' eyes, and she woke up from her distress and couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

laugh?

Take advantage of the present moment to laugh a little longer, because it is hard to say whether you will be able to laugh so happily in the future.

That child will definitely be the one causing the storm that sweeps across Orario.

None of us can escape from Loki's family who are at the center of the storm!

"There's one thing I haven't told you yet. When I met him at noon, Noah was fighting the Dark Faction. Do you know who it was?"
