Zongman, the journey begins from the wrong place

"Ais! How are you?"

The familiar emerald green figure blended with the face of her mother in her memory, causing Ai Si to tilt her head in a trance and move her dry lips.

"……mom, Mom, Mom?"

The murmurs spread, and Livilia could no longer control herself. Her eyes suddenly became hot and blurry, and she wanted to rush forward and hug the bruised and battered Ais in her arms.

Noah widened his eyes slightly and looked at the back of the girl named Ais hesitantly.

Hiss, could it be that this child’s head was damaged?

Why are you looking for your parents everywhere?

But when Noah saw the green-haired elf's eyes filled with tears and his lips tightly bitten, he began to waver again.

No, are they really mother and daughter?

But I can't tell at all.

This one is an elf and the other is a human.

One has green hair and the other has blonde hair.

Unable to figure out the problem, Noah gave up thinking and threw Ais to the green-haired elf to avoid being like an evil villain who prevented the reunion of mother and daughter.

"Ais!"

Caught off guard, Livilia subconsciously let go of her wand and took Ais with both hands.

There was only a "clang" sound, and the scepter fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and even the nine gems that looked very expensive were covered with dust.

A flash of light appeared on the gem, and to Noah it actually looked a bit resentful.

After urgently checking Ais's body, Livilia quickly took out the panacea she carried with her.

After feeding her half the tube, Livilia poured the remaining half of the elixir directly onto Aisi.

As a magical mist with a strong medicinal smell rose and dissipated, the many hideous wounds on the girl's body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye after being covered by the faintly glowing colorful liquid.

The bones and flesh between the chest quickly recovered, the muscles and blood vessels reconnected, until the skin also returned to normal.

Noah raised his eyebrows as he watched this scene, confirming once again that the magic level of this world was far higher than he had imagined.

However, as he watched, Noah's attention was attracted by the elf's white neck.

Because she was leaning forward while holding the girl, the elf's conservative high collar was slightly open, revealing the curve of her collarbone.

The curves of her neck were tight and graceful, like a swan, and her skin was so translucent and delicate that you could vaguely see the blue veins...

The blood of elves should be sweet, right?

Thinking of this, the weak Noah couldn't help but move his throat slightly and swallow his saliva, feeling unbearable in his heart.

Strictly speaking, Noah is not a pure-blooded human.

This is very common in the magical world where various races coexist - not to mention half-elves, half-orcs, and half-dwarves, there are also a lot of half-dragons.

But maybe because it has not been developed yet, Noah doesn't know what the alien blood in his body is.

In addition to the fact that magic is more active at night and in natural environments, the biggest special thing is that Noah can obtain magic through the body fluids, especially blood, of women with excellent qualifications.

Noah knew that this sounded a lot like a vampire, but the problem was that he was not afraid of the sun, but rather liked it. He also did not have other vampire abilities such as growing fangs or misting.

Therefore, Noah did not care about it any more and regarded it as the return of the bloodline of a special race that had disappeared in ancient times.

After taking two doses of the panacea, Ais's breathing and pulse became stable, and Livilia breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she realized that she seemed to have forgotten something.

Livilia subconsciously looked up and immediately met a pair of blue eyes.

Silence remained on the first floor until Livilia came to her senses, screamed, picked up the wand on the ground, and tried to take a defensive stance.

But before she raised her hand halfway, Livilia came to her senses.

Although he didn't know where the stranger in front of him came from, nor did he know that he was holding Ai Si, but from the fact that he took the initiative to hand Ai Si to him and did not attack him when he was distracted, it was obvious that he was a friend and not an enemy.

If this is the case, then my behavior is obviously a bit inappropriate.

Realizing this, Riveria, known to the world and her companions as a calm and composed leader, couldn't help but feel her cheeks flush.

However, Livilia is already a mature adult and has learned to hide her embarrassment.

After all, as long as you are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.

"Hello, I'm Livilia Rios Alf, the deputy leader of the Loki Familia. May I ask who you are?"

6 Mistress of Fertility

Looking at the green-haired female elf who had regained her composure, Noah thought for a few seconds and chose not to answer.

Before he recovers his strength and figures out the situation in the world, he wants to avoid contact with other people as much as possible.

Even if the other person is a good person, it is difficult to predict how they will react after learning that they are from another world.

Anyway, Noah judged others by his own experience and would definitely keep the aliens under surveillance first, or even detain them and interrogate them first.

The silver-haired boy didn't answer or speak. After looking at himself, he walked away with his sword in hand.

This was indeed beyond Livilia's expectations.

That look was obviously not polite or friendly, but Livilia could not sense any indifference or rejection from it.

If I had to describe it, it would be like seeing wild deer fighting in the jungle while on the road, and then glancing at them indifferently.

Tsk, why do I feel this way?

It must be an illusion!

Perhaps, this young man should be a member of a clan who just came from outside Orario, so he doesn’t know the Loki clan?

Thinking of this, Livilia looked at the silver-haired boy whose injuries were no less serious than Ais's, and took out the last tube of panacea from her body.

Panacea was originally a precious potion with a starting price of over 500,000 faris. Now, due to the obstruction of dungeon exploration and the shortage of raw materials, the price has been rising steadily.

But even so, the panacea is still sold out as soon as it is put on sale, and it can be said that there is no market for it.

Because this is a turbulent era where you may be attacked even if you walk on the street, except for a group of lower-class people who live a life of drunkenness and debauchery, any adventurer with a little bit of common sense would like to have a bottle of potion that can save his life at a critical moment.

If it wasn't possible to obtain it directly from some production-related clans that they cooperated with and also needed protection, even the Loki clan, which is now one of the two most powerful factions in the city, probably wouldn't be able to buy much.

But even so, this batch of panaceas is still a drop in the bucket compared to the Loki clan who are always fighting on the front lines of dungeon exploration and fighting against dark factions.

Livilia brought these three bottles with her when she went out to look for Ais because she had a premonition that something dangerous might happen.

"Well, if you don't mind, please accept it."

Noah turned his head and saw a tube of medicine that had just healed the little girl's injuries being handed to him.

After thinking about it, Noah took the potion.

He didn't forget that he had a poor sense of direction, and he was still in this bottomless dungeon. He didn't want his magic power to run out before he could escape.

Having a potion that can restore magic power will allow you to be more relaxed when making plans.

The precious panacea quilt made Livilia breathe a sigh of relief.

"Our Loki clan's headquarters is located in the Twilight Pavilion in the north of the city. If you have the opportunity, please visit our humble abode so that we can express our gratitude."

Holding the potion, Noah looked at Livilia again, and finally left without looking back.

Watching the silver-haired boy disappear in the smoke and dust, it took Livilia a long time to come back to her senses.

"A mysterious boy..."

Just as Livilia was struggling, Ais in her arms let out a moan and then slowly woke up.

"Aisi! What's wrong? Are you still in pain? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Seeing the usually calm Livilia busy and concerned, Ai Si's eyes showed warmth, attachment, and guilt.

The girl opened her arms and hugged the female elf royal, pressing her face into her arms.

"I'm fine, Livilia."

Looking at Ais, who showed soft attachment like a normal little girl, Livilia finally breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but gently touch her soft golden hair.

"Really..."

When Ais finished enjoying the hug and raised her head shyly——

"Now that you're okay, I think we can talk about you running around—"

Looking at Livilia, who had no expression on her face but exuded a ghostly aura, Ais's face turned pale.

"Li, Livilia..."

Ai Si whispered softly, but it could not bring back the motherly love in the hearts of the elven royal family.

Somewhere deep in a dark corridor, the light reflected a huge, distorted, ominous shape, and roars echoed everywhere.

"Go find Valetta and tell her to tear that vile human into pieces and get the key back—and avenge my hair!"

*

"Finally out!"

Noah walked out of the first floor of the Tower of Babel among teams of adventurers who were also covered in blood and exhausted.

Looking at the dark night sky, which seemed a little depressing because it was still shrouded in rain, but was much more spacious than the underground cave, Noah almost wanted to roar.

Not surprisingly, after leaving the twelfth floor, Noah quickly got lost in the tunnels that went up and down, left and right.

It took me half a day to find another group of adventurers who looked like they were returning to the surface. I followed them from a distance before returning to the surface.

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have acted so cool. I should have at least followed them out first... Next time, I must find someone who knows the way before going down!"

After washing the dust and blood off his body in the icy rain, Noah weighed the bag in his hand and listened to the crisp sound of the coins shaking and colliding.

While lost in the dungeon, Noah inevitably encountered many monsters and killed them one after another.

Although it was in another world, picking up materials after defeating monsters was an instinct ingrained in him.

Well, the monsters in this world will automatically drop materials after death, so there is no need for manual dissection. It is clean and hygienic, which is simply awesome!

On the third floor of the huge chalk tower called the Tower of Babel, Noah exchanged all those things for money.

So, the next step is to find a place to have a good meal and take a rest.

Thinking of this, Noah looked around the spacious circular plaza and finally found a street that seemed to have more pedestrians.

Perhaps due to the continuous cold rain and the lateness of the night, there were few people on the streets, and the few people that could be seen occasionally had gloomy expressions.

There were also armed men in uniform patrolling around, looking warily at Noah, who was covered in wounds and carrying weapons, from time to time.

Noah has experience with this kind of situation.

He stood there blankly on the street, looking at them as if they were monkeys. Those who wanted to come forward to question him looked at him for a while, shouted "Newcomer, go home!", and then turned around and left.

The air was filled with tension and vigilance, and Noah couldn't tell whether it was just the local atmosphere or if something major had happened recently.

He didn't really care about this at first, but the problem was that after looking around, he found that most of the pubs and restaurants were closed!

Although it's already past dinner time, in a city where adventurers gather, shouldn't taverns and restaurants be open and bustling until dawn?

Is public security this bad?

He walked along the street until he reached the towering city wall, then found another way back. When Noah came to his senses, he found that he was almost at the square under the giant tower again.

Just when Noah was about to give up, he finally caught a glimpse of warm light illuminating the darkness.

Mistress of abundance?

Well, let’s go with this one. If I don’t eat now, I’ll starve to death.
