Lily's smile froze on her face.
Chapter 61: Blank Superman, a real man who can reach level 4 with a steel sword
With that, Xingjian dragged Welf away quickly, leaving Lily standing there in a daze, the little human girl's fists trembling.
"Those two people...there's definitely something wrong!!"
Lily stared at the two people's receding backs with gritted teeth, and a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes.
After leaving, Welf couldn't help laughing and patted Xingjian's shoulder:
"I thought that every time I teamed up with you, there would be an extra teammate for no apparent reason. I didn't expect you to refuse so bluntly for the first time. The last time that blonde elf lady suggested teaming up, you agreed very quickly, didn't you?"
Welf had never thought that the gentle and kind Xingjian would actually reject such a lovely Palum, which was completely inconsistent with his gentlemanly style.
Could it be that he is not a little loli...
But I was born to like elves... ?
Just like the cold green-haired elf in the tavern.
"She is from the Soma clan."
With just these few words, Welf's smile froze instantly.
The Soma clan...
In Orario, this name is almost equivalent to "stinky rat in the underworld".
The Soma clan uses "holy wine" as bait to make its members slaves. 90% of the income earned by low-level adventurers at the risk of their lives is handed over, just in exchange for a sip of the holy wine that can make people hallucinate.
Just last month, a team of novice adventurers was wiped out in a dungeon. An investigation revealed that it was the Soma clan that deliberately lured monsters to kill their fellow adventurers in order to steal their magic stones.
Including when Xingjian entered the dungeon for the first month, it was the people of the Soma clan who gave the enhanced silver-backed ape to the Yamabuki elf.
Of course, they were just in an emergency at the time and didn't know that Lefiya was from the Loki Family.
Besides this, there are other bad places.
They often send supporters like Lily to approach lone adventurers.
Some people either steal supplies, or abandon their employers and run away in times of crisis, and some are even deliberately led to monster lairs.
Of course, this was not Lily's original intention.
Lily's parents are members of the Soma clan, so she has belonged to the Soma clan since she was a child.
Her parents, obsessed with divine wine, neglected Lily. She had been begging since she was three years old, and her parents only knew how to ask her for money. One day, desperate for money, Lily's parents journeyed to the dungeon and were killed in battle.
Afterwards, Lily was bullied by her clan and was constantly exploited by adventurers outside. In despair and anger, Lily Luca briefly escaped from the clan and was later taken in by an elderly couple who worked in a flower shop.
After the clan members discovered that the florist couple had taken in Lily, they destroyed the flower shop and the old couple were also injured. Lily had no choice but to return to the clan in despair.
In the harsh environment of the Soma clan and the contempt of other adventurers, he developed a twisted character that distrusts others and extremely hates adventurers. He even used magic to steal adventurers' equipment and sell it to retaliate against the so-called adventurers, and watched their anger and despair in the dark to comfort his own dark heart.
Lily is quite pitiful, but asking her to join the team now would undoubtedly bring crisis to the team, so she was refused.
As for the Soma clan...
Xingjian will naturally deal with this dirty clan later.
"So that girl just now..."
"Everyone who understands understands."
Xingjian lowered his voice, then his eyes fell on the bandaged sword on Welf's shoulder.
Dark red lines could be seen faintly between the gaps in the bandage, pulsating slightly like blood vessels.
"I've noticed this since just now. What is this...?"
Welf grinned, ran his fingers over the charred marks of the spell on the bandage, and said:
"This, this is a life-saving device. Even though I hate using it... but when it really comes to a life-or-death situation, I always have to keep a trump card."
No need to guess, you know it's the magic sword.
Welf really took Hephaestus's teachings to heart.
Don't weigh your dignity and your partner's life on the same scale.
Just as the two were about to step into the spiral staircase of the Tower of Babel.
"Mr. Hoshimi!!!"
A clear shout pierced the clamorous crowd. Hoshimi and Welf turned simultaneously. An elf girl with mountain-blooming hair was trotting towards them, her staff still emitting lingering magical shards.
Lefiya stopped in front of the two men, her chest heaving slightly, her cheeks flushed with exercise.
"I see you every time I turn right when I go out." Xingjian joked with a smile.
There was a chaotic sound of footsteps coming from the front, and a team appeared.
Walking in front was a nondescript man with black hair and black eyes, of medium build, a spiky hairstyle, and an ordinary face. His equipment was so ordinary that he would be impossible to find if he were thrown into a group of adventurers.
"Hey, isn't this the rising star of the Hephaestus family? What a coincidence, you guys are going to the middle level too?"
The man smiled and waved, his voice as gentle as a waiter in a tavern.
Welf subconsciously hid the bandaged sword behind him. "Mr. Raul, is this... an expedition?"
"Hello, Whiteboard Superman." Xingjian suddenly stretched out his hand.
"Blankboard Superman?" Raul Nord shook his hand and blinked in confusion. "Is this a new nickname? Haha..."
——【Superhuman】Raul Nord, the most special second-level adventurer of the Loki clan.
The LV4 level is miraculously "ordinary":
·Magic value is permanently reset to zero
No skills or magic
All basic abilities are balanced
Reach level 4 with only a gorgeous one-handed sword with no special effects
The only man in the world who created a legend through "mediocrity".
"We have been ordered to defeat the resurrected Goliath! Captain Finn said... that this time he wants me to deliver the final blow!" Lefiya's eyes sparkled, and a few magical sparks unconsciously emerged from her staff.
Xingjian and Welf exchanged glances and understood each other's intentions.
The great achievement of reaching LV3...
Members from the rear of the team began to appear one after another.
LV4 [Lady Cat] Anna Kitty Autumn.
LV2 [Clown Waiter] Linie Yarushe, mainly serves as a healer and supporter. She is responsible for surveying the route forward with Raul Nord and others. She is a kind-hearted girl with a very mature personality.
Level 2, a cheerful fire wizard, is Lefiya Viridis's roommate, and is known as Elfy Kret, the "Tao-transformed Magic Book."
………………
"Since we want to defeat the floor master... won't Miss Ais and the others participate?" Xingjian looked at Lefiya and asked.
Yamabuki's ears drooped slightly, and he waved his hands helplessly: "The leader said that this time the whole process will be completed by Team Two independently, and Team One will not provide any support."
Welf couldn't help but frown.
"The [Hero] is not here? Who will take command then?"
"Hehe~ It's me! Even Angie has to listen to my orders!"
Raul suddenly straightened his chest, his hedgehog hair sticking out even more arrogantly in the morning light. He then winked at the cat girl beside him, who swung her tail helplessly.
Although Raul seems to have little experience, he is considered by Captain Finn to be an elite member of Loki's clan and is regarded by him as his successor (the next captain).
Finn and other leaders placed great trust in him and often entrusted various matters to him, commanding the troops on Finn's behalf, or letting him be the leader of the second team during the expedition to the dungeon, responsible for miscellaneous tasks during the expedition and commanding members of lower ranks.
Xingjian was thoughtful: "I see... Then, Senior Raul, what is your plan?"
Senior?!
The super newcomer of the Hephaestus family actually calls himself that?
Raul felt like his feet were floating. He coughed twice, pretending to be calm, and then threw out all his plans in one go:
"The 17th floor master, [Attack on Titan Goliath], will be resurrected in two days. Today, I plan to charge straight into Rivera Town on the 18th floor. Then, after I've prepared on the safe floor, I'll strike back and defeat the newly resurrected floor master!!"
Raul imitated Finn's habitual movements, drawing a path in the air with his fingertips.
Welf glanced at the team and asked doubtfully, "Only thirty people? The second team of the Loki family can't be that small, right?"
"Alicia is leading another team to follow. We'll reunite in Rivera Town on the 18th floor in the evening. This is a split-force strategy the Observation Captain has only learned after three years!"
Raul shook his finger proudly and puffed out his chest.
Finn was actually thinking about risk diversification…
But the Raul version...
Obviously want to save more food expenses.
"A very reasonable arrangement. The monsters in the middle level really pose no threat to you."
Xingjian nodded, approving of Raul's current strategy.
The mountain-colored elf Lefiya suddenly came closer, and the magic light from her staff fell on Xingjian's shoulders. Her ears turned red as she said softly:
"Well... since Mr. Hoshimi is also going to the middle level, how about we form a temporary team?"
"Eh? Is this appropriate?"
Xingjian was stunned.
At the same time, the deputy team leader, [Cat Lady] Anna Qidi, had her pupils gleaming with brilliance, and immediately said:
"It's okay. Mr. Hoshimi is a member of the Hephaestus Familia, and our Familia and the Hephaestus Familia are allies. We often cooperate with each other. Besides... in future joint expeditions, we might even explore with Mr. Hoshimi. It's not a bad idea to cultivate tacit understanding now."
"That's a great idea!! I also want to become friends with Mr. [Manji] and watch him fight in person!"
Miss Elfie, an optimistic and talented lady who is good at fire magic, said happily.
"Since Miss Angie and Miss Lefiya have said so, then we have happily decided! Mr. Hoshimi and Mr. Welf, you will both join our team!! Our goal is the 18th floor!!"
Raul waved his hand and said happily.
You're a new star, but you call me senior!
Raul felt extremely satisfied, so he did not object to the suggestions made by Angel and Miss Lefiya.
"Thank you, Senior Raul. Could you wait for me for a few minutes? I want to bring a friend with me. She also wants to go to Rivera Town."
Xingjian said.
"No problem. But try to go and come back as quickly as possible!"
Raoul smiled gently.
He calls me senior!
What else can't be agreed to?
Hoshimi thanked Whiteboard Man, then suddenly pulled out a bamboo dragonfly-like mechanical device from his pocket and pressed a button to start it.
Before everyone could react, Xingjian had already soared into the air with a "whoosh", and the bamboo dragonfly spun around, turning him into a small black dot in the sky.
five minutes later--
"boom!"
With the sound of surging air, Xingjian landed steadily, dragging a green-haired elf behind him.
At this time, Miss Liu was wearing a green cloak, but her expression was not very good. It was obvious that she was not very used to this high-altitude and high-speed descent mode of transportation.
"Let me introduce our temporary teammates."
Xingjian introduced Miss Liu with a smile.
The scene fell silent for a moment.
Raul's jaw nearly hit his feet, and he pointed at the green-haired elf: "Wait, wait! Isn't this from the [Mistress of Plenty]...?"
"Um, waiter. I'm... not very good at fighting."
Liu struggled to stand up straight, suppressing the dizziness, then glanced at everyone in Loki's family and nodded slightly when he saw Lefiya.
