"Thank you, Miss Xier."

Xingjian nodded solemnly.

Before he finished speaking, Miss Liu had already flashed out from the kitchen like a gust of wind.

The green-haired elf girl changed into light adventuring attire.

The three of them hurriedly pushed open the door of the tavern; the morning mist had not yet dissipated.

Xier watched their backs disappear around the corner of the street, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, then she gently put down the half-wiped glass, took off her apron and hung it up, turned and walked towards the back door.

"Anija, I'll leave the store to you~"

Xier's voice disappeared along with the sound of the back door closing.

"Meow?!" The cat girl who was tidying up the dishes suddenly pricked up her ears, but only saw the curtain of the back door swaying.

and many more……

You all left...

Then what should I do?

At the same time, Xier's figure appeared in a dark alley near the Tower of Babel. She was wearing a dark gray cloak, and her silver hair under the hood fluttered gently in the morning breeze. Her silver-gray eyes, which were usually gentle as water, were now flashing with an elusive light.

The three of them had just walked out of the tavern when they suddenly heard a familiar noise coming from the corner of the street.

"Sister, Aisi, and Lefiya, hurry up. I must find the baby dragon today."

"Slow down."

Tiona's iconic double-edged weapon [Big Severance] first came into view, and at this moment she looked extremely excited, while her sister Tione grabbed her sister's collar with a helpless look on her face.

Behind the two of them were Miss Ais and a certain Yamabuki-series elf.

"Yo! Little Bull Fighting Hero!!"

When she saw Xingjian around the corner, Diona waved and shouted from afar.

"Are you... planning an expedition?"

Xingjian looked at the four members of the [Loki Family] who appeared again in surprise.

"Not at all."

Tione held her forehead with one hand, sighed helplessly, and said, "Ever since she heard you were going to subdue the young dragon, Tiona has been hanging out on the eleventh and twelfth floors every day. Because she didn't see you fight the mutant Milotaur with her own eyes, she hopes to find the young dragon as soon as possible so she can witness you fight a more powerful dragon monster with her own eyes."

Tione sighed, then glanced at the blonde girl behind her and added:

"As a result... even Ais and Lefiya joined in the antics."

"I want to...see."

Ai Si lowered her head slightly, but the curiosity in her eyes was particularly bright.

A certain Yamabuki-colored elf's pointed ears turned slightly red, and then she frantically waved her hands and explained, "I, I just wanted to keep a record of my work! A rare LV2 dragon hatchling is... is a good research subject. Absolutely... absolutely, absolutely not out of worry or anything!"

Liu, who was standing aside, watched this scene, his lake-blue eyes narrowed slightly, and then he calmly adjusted his wristband, with an almost imperceptible curve at the corner of his mouth.

This time, it’s finally her turn to take the lead!!!

Xingjian looked at everyone's expectant gazes, scratched his cheek a little embarrassedly, and said, "Actually... Lord Hephaestus has already issued a bounty order through the guild, and we received confirmed news this morning that we have spotted the young dragon.

"What? Found it already?!"

Tiona grabbed her hair in frustration and spun around, saying in panic:

"Ahhh! I want to be the first to discover it! That way I can give the little hero a huge surprise!"

The next second, this energetic Amazon girl rushed towards Xingjian like an arrow, and put her strong arms around Xingjian's neck, with their noses almost touching.

Tiona's pale yellow eyes sparkled, and her excited breath brushed against Xingjian's cheek:

"Whatever! Little hero, let's cut to the chase and get going! I'll clear the way for you! I promise we'll be ten times faster than those dwarves! Let those slow guys see the speed of the Amazon!"

As she spoke, Diona grabbed Xingjian's wrist with such force that she almost lifted him up...

"Stupid Diona! Let go! Do you want to dislocate his arm?" Dione hurried forward and grabbed her sister's collar.

"Then... I'll leave it to Miss Diona."

Xingjian said quickly.

This Amazon girl is so lively!

"Come on—!"

Tiona raised [Big Severance] and rushed towards the dungeon entrance like a brown whirlwind, her short brown hair dancing happily behind her.

In this way, the special expedition team consisting of seven people marched towards the dungeon in a mighty manner.

As they passed through the Tower of Babel Square, the adventurers passing by looked sideways with surprised expressions.

The newcomer from the Hephaestus family actually walked side by side with the elites of Loki's family. This scene...

It's really rare!

Under the astonished gaze of the crowd, the team arrived at the foot of the Tower of Babel. At the same time, on the observation deck high up in the tower, a goddess of beauty in a gray cloak was quietly watching their backs.

Once inside the dungeon, the party advanced downwards with astonishing efficiency.

Tiona rushed to the front of the team, her double-edged sword drawing brilliant brown tracks in the dim dungeon passage. Any monster that dared to block her way was reduced to ashes under her violent attack.

Welf, who was following behind, was stunned.

Is this... the strength of a Level 5 adventurer?

Diona dealt with the three wild boar orcs who had caused him so much trouble in the past, just as easily as kicking a wild dog to death on the side of the road...

The team advanced at an astonishing speed and arrived at the twelfth floor in the blink of an eye. From afar, they saw a group of adventurers gathered at the entrance of the cave in the southeast corner, with noisy discussions coming one after another.

"Wow, is this true? A baby dragon has appeared?"

"Oh my god! I've been hanging out on the eleventh and twelfth floors for several months now, and I haven't seen a single baby dragon. I didn't expect to see one this time. I'm so lucky."

"If we could get the drops from the baby dragon, we could earn at least a few million in fari and become rich. But why isn't anyone doing it?"

The adventurers on the twelfth floor exclaimed in surprise, but also explained why the young dragon was still wandering around the activity area. No one stepped forward to fight such a large monster.

Even if the dragon is at LV2, close to a LV3 BOSS, we should be able to defeat the dragon through a joint team attack, right?

Why is no one coming on stage yet?!

"Hush... I heard the place is reserved by Hephaestus's family..."

"Hmm? Why? Could it be that the Hephaestus Familia also have their eyes on the young dragon's drops?"

"Idiot, how is that possible? The drops from the young dragons are valuable to us, but to the Loki and Hephaestus families who have explored the deep realms, they are nothing! They have seen even more powerful dragon monsters."

"That……"

"I know. It is said that the new member of the Hephaestus family wants to challenge the young dragon to accomplish great deeds."

"What? That's actually happening!! What's the name of the adventurer who wants to challenge the young dragon?"

"I don't know. Just watch quietly, because he is a genius adventurer."

Usually, adventurers at level 2 have already obtained an adventurer title through the Assembly of Gods. In Orario, instead of using the various complicated and dazzling names of different races, everyone prefers to use [Title] to refer to a certain adventurer.

Unfortunately, the one who wants to challenge the young dragon this time is LV1 Xingjian, who has not yet obtained the [Title].

"Hey! Y-It's from Loki's family!!"

"Level 1 Adventurer LV5 [Amazon]... and [Jormungand]..."

"Wait, Sword Princess and Thousand Fairies? Why are there so many officers from Loki's clan? Are they here to fight for the dragonlets too?"

"How can this be!!!"

When they saw who was coming, there was a sound of gasps from all around, and the crowd automatically made way.

At this moment, a familiar figure walked out from the crowd. The half-dwarf Tsubaki Kobrand walked towards Hoshimi and others carrying her iconic Japanese sword.

"Hey, Xingjian, you're finally here."

The eldest sister of the Hephaestus family raised an eyebrow, then swept her eyes over the members of Loki's family, revealing a surprised expression:

"Eh? It's the Silut sisters, and the Sword Princess, the Thousand Fairies, and... the Wind? I didn't expect you to have such a good relationship with them. I originally asked Engeldo to pick you up, but it seems that was unnecessary."

Miss Tsubaki walked up to Xingmen, patted his shoulder vigorously and said:

"How are the preparations going? That little guy was quite aggressive and strong. I had to use a blow to calm him down and make him stay put."

"You can start anytime."

Xingjian took a deep breath and showed a relaxed expression.

All the props are in full condition, and after two days of studying the information, Xingjian now feels that he is incredibly strong!

"Then go ahead."

Miss Tsubaki laughed and made way, her eyes gleaming with anticipation as she raised her voice:

"Let everyone see the power of the rising star of Hephaestus's family!!"

Chapter 50 I come with the storm, bringing the wrath of the gods!

The young dragon stood in the open area, its dark scales trembling slightly. It had been born from its mother in the dungeon less than a day ago, and its mind was now full of confusion and anger.

(Why... did it become like this...)

Memories flashed back to a few hours ago...

It was hunting on the twelfth floor when it was suddenly surrounded by a group of dwarf adventurers.

The bearded fellows put a thick rope around its neck,

He kept shouting things like "Found it" and "Hurry up and inform Master Tsubaki, we found traces of the baby dragon."

(Damn two-legged beast!)

It breathed out dragon breath in anger, only to be punched on the head by a black-haired half-dwarf woman.

The force of that punch was so terrifying that it made stars appear before its eyes. The whole dragon fell to the ground, and its eyes became much clearer.

"Behave yourself, little one."

The half-dwarf named Chun stepped on its tail and held his sword against its throat.

"Be good and wait for a challenge. If you win, I'll let you go. Understand?"

(Challenge? What challenge?)

(Who will challenge me...)

When the young dragon was standing there waiting obediently, a black-haired boy walked up alone in the noisy crowd. The young dragon was stunned at first, then two streams of white smoke with a smell of sulfur spurted out of his nostrils, and his red vertical pupils were full of disdain.

This human looked so thin that he didn't even have decent armor, and the dagger at his waist was ridiculously shabby.

(That’s it?)

(Is this level even worthy?)

It swung its tail disdainfully and deliberately scratched the ground with its claws, making a harsh sound and splashing a string of sparks.

As Xingjian slowly stepped forward, the crowd's discussions surged like a tide:

"Is he...is he a new member of Hephaestus's Familia? Is he going to challenge the dragonet alone? I thought it was a joint expedition."

"Who among you knows his rank?"

"I don't know. I've never heard of his title, nor have I seen him fight."

"Wait, I remember!" An adventurer in bronze armor suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted, "Isn't he a waiter at the [Hostes of Plenty] Tavern?"

"Yes, yes, I remember now. I saw him last month when I was exchanging gold coins at the Adventurer's Guild. Miss Tsubaki helped him register as an adventurer. That was... a month ago."

This sentence exploded in the crowd.

"A month?!"

"You've only been an adventurer for a month and you dare to challenge a baby dragon?"

"Go crazy!"

"We need at least five Lv.2 advanced adventurers to form a team!"
