Wrong, my props refresh every day

How to become the true leader of Loki's second team!!

The cat girl looked very disappointed.

………………

When the lively atmosphere in the pub reached its climax.

"what!!!"

"Crack-!"

With a sudden bang, a glass slipped from the drunk's trembling hands and shattered on the oak floor. The original atmosphere in the tavern suddenly froze, and everyone turned their eyes to the source of the sound.

“Hello…Hello!”

At this moment, the red-faced dwarf adventurer who had made the noise stumbled back, his drunkenness instantly sobering up. "Look over there! Someone's... dead!!"

Everyone's gaze followed his trembling fingers to the darkest corner of the tavern, where a humanoid figure wearing light leather armor sat slumped in a high-backed chair, its head tilted back at an abnormal angle.

The most horrifying thing was that the entire body was soaked in some kind of blood that was so sticky that it was unnatural. Even the cracks in the statue on the back of the chair were dripping with shiny blood beads, as if the entire corpse was dissolved from the inside by some strange liquid.

The air froze for a moment—

"Don't touch the body yet! Let me take a look!"

[Lady Cat] Anqi was the first to react. She raised her hand to stop the people who wanted to approach, then pricked up her ears, her tail stretched straight due to nervousness, and her golden cat eyes stared at the strange corpse.

The black-haired cat-girl squatted down, suppressed her nausea and moved closer to observe, her fingers hovering above the corpse, examining it carefully.

"The skin is pale, the muscles are flabby... This doesn't look like fresh death." The cat girl's voice was low, and she couldn't help but frown. "She's been dead for at least several hours... But when we came in just now, there was no one sitting here."

Lefiya's expression suddenly turned ugly, and her pointed ears trembled slightly: "Then...then how did he suddenly appear here?!"

"The problem is not just this..."

Angel lifted the blood-soaked collar of the deceased, revealing the adventurer's nameplate underneath. However, the name on it had been corroded and blurred. What was even more horrifying was that there was a clean knife mark on his neck, and there was not even any extra tearing on the edge of the wound. It was obvious that he was killed by an extremely sharp weapon.

"I have no idea who it was... and looking at this wound, I don't think it was done by a monster."

An Qi's expression was serious. She raised her head and looked at everyone, then said solemnly, "It's a weapon of a human adventurer."

Welf's eyes widened, and he said in surprise, "You mean... he was murdered?!"

If he was killed by a monster attack, it would be normal. After all, even on a safe floor, a few monsters would occasionally slip through the net and attack adventurers.

But human killing? The nature is completely different.

They are all adventurers and important children of the surface gods' clan. If a murder is caused by a dispute, it is very likely to eventually turn into a terrible clan war.

At this moment, Alicia calmly turned around and said to the already frightened tavern owner, "Go get a bottle of [Unlocking Potion]."

The boss suddenly woke up and nodded hesitantly, "Okay, okay! Right away!"

Unlocking potion, an alchemical potion that can decipher the information of the power of grace. Usually, this kind of drug is contraband because as long as the liquid is dripped on the adventurer's back, the adventurer's sacred text (Status) full of grace information can be forcibly revealed.

Name, level, family, skills and even magic are all displayed, which is a complete invasion of privacy.

But in the town of Rivera, which is known as the "black market", this kind of drug can be sold normally. In order to find out the real information of this person, Alicia is ready to take some necessary measures.

While waiting, the adventurers in the tavern began to whisper.

"His whole body was soaked in blood...this way of dying is too weird."

"Who on earth is so bold as to kill someone in Rivera Town? He's an adventurer!"

"Could it be that some madman's family or some dark faction is causing trouble..."

"Probably……"

The low-level adventurers felt extremely scared, after all, they didn't know whether such a terrible thing would happen to them in the next second.

Raul thought for a long time, then stepped forward and moved closer.

As he approached, he accidentally stepped on a pool of blood. The sole of his boot immediately made a "crunching" sound. He bent down to observe the wound. His nose suddenly twitched and he said, "Wait... This feels a bit strange..."

Raul instinctively pulled out his small knife and opened the wound. "The degree of muscle fiber breakdown... the decay rate of the corpse is more than three times faster than normal?"

The adventurer next to him sneered and said, "Hey, hey, extraordinary man, you're not from the Dean Kate clan, why are you pretending to be an expert? You should wait for someone from the Medical Clan to come and check it out."

"That's right, extraordinary person, you should just wait for adventurers who know medicine to come and check it out." The others echoed.

Raul opened his mouth, but ultimately remained silent.

Finally, the boss handed over the unlocking medicine with trembling hands.

Alicia took it and dripped it onto the dead man's back without hesitation.

"Fuck!"

In an instant, dark golden sacred text emerged like a burning flame, twisting and spreading on the back of the corpse.

Generally speaking, sacred texts are something that only gods can understand, but the elven princess Livilia of Loki's family knows a thing or two. As Livilia's loyal junior magician, Alicia can more or less recognize some key information.

After reading all the information, Alicia's pupils suddenly contracted——

Name: Sike Jeffries

Level: Lv.1

Race: Human

Affiliation: Soma clan

Age: 26

……

"Su...an adventurer from the Soma clan?"

"Those drunks? The stinking rats of Orario?"

The onlookers were shocked.

------

Chapter 67 Alan, is that you? Alan!

"Ha! So it's those drunkards!" an orc adventurer spat in disdain. "They're drunk all day long, it's no wonder they're dead! Never mind."

"That's right! The death of the Soma clan members is none of our business! They were all self-degrading losers anyway. Maybe they died from drinking fake alcohol."

The atmosphere in the pub suddenly relaxed, and some people even turned around to continue drinking, as if the tension just now was just a farce.

"Hey! Are you guys serious?!"

An Qi slammed the table, her golden pupils shrinking with anger.

"Even if the deceased is a member of the Soma clan, the murderer is still at large! If we don't investigate thoroughly, more bodies will appear in Rivera Town! You must find out the important reasons."

Angel's roar made the noisy tavern quiet again.

Magician Alfie sighed and scratched his head, saying, "That's true... but you know the reputation of the Soma clan. It's not uncommon for them to fight among themselves..."

Because Soma, known as the "God of Wine", has a cold personality and is obsessed with brewing, he almost ignores his clan members, causing chaos within the clan.

Because the divine wine can cause hallucinations and strong dependence after drinking, many members have fallen in the fight for the divine wine. Since they dare not provoke adventurers from other large clans, they choose to harm small clans and engage in internal fighting for their own benefits.

“I still feel like there’s a little problem.”

As a time traveler who has seen thousands of episodes of elementary school student murders, Xingjian always felt that there was something strange about this case.

The body appeared too suddenly, the blood was extremely corrupted, and there was that strong, pungent smell of alcohol...

Therefore, Xingjian moved closer to the corpse and his nostrils twitched slightly.

"The smell of alcohol... is too strong."

Angel's cat ears instantly stood up and she said, "I smell it too! But isn't that strange? The people of the Soma clan are immersed in alcohol all day long..."

"No. Orario... has more than one God of Wine." Xingjian shook his head.

"You're so annoying with your nagging!"

An orc adventurer suddenly slammed the table and stood up, his face full of impatience.

"Your [Loki Family] specialty is conquering dungeons, right? Leave the mysterious murder case to Ganesha's men. Don't worry about it here! Let's see who can run faster and quickly go to the surface to notify the Military Police!"

The orc adventurer waved his hands roughly and spoke with a hint of impatience.

The surrounding adventurers echoed:

"That's right! It's unlucky, really too unlucky!"

"Who wants to get involved in the Soma clan's mess? Report it to the [Ganesha clan] immediately and let them solve it themselves! It'll be annoying if you see it."

"Because of this rubbish, I was delayed from drinking!"

The atmosphere in the pub suddenly became agitated, with some people even throwing cups and bowls impatiently.

Raul glanced at the magic stone clock on the wall and shook his head:

"Sending people back to the surface now... I'm afraid it's too late. There's less than an hour left until Goliath, the Lonely Lord of the Labyrinth, is resurrected."

Everyone was quiet for a moment.

Raul explained in a deep voice, "If you pass through the [Wall of Sighs] now, you'll likely run into the newly resurrected Emergency Giant Goliath. Furthermore, at the moment the 'King' is born, all monsters on the 17th floor will enter [King-Welcoming State]. At this moment, their personalities will become extremely violent, their abilities will increase, their aggression will increase slightly, and they may even organize to siege adventurers!"

"Even if we manage to break through, there will inevitably be heavy casualties. This is not a wise choice."

"Then you, Loki's family, should quickly go and defeat Goliath, the [Lonely King of the Labyrinth]!"

The orc man spoke again, a barely perceptible urgency flashed in his eyes, and his mood began to become impatient.

"Aren't you one of the strongest clans in the city? Is it difficult for you to deal with a mere LV4 floor master?"

Liu's eyes suddenly became sharp. He slowly stepped forward and said coldly, "You seem... particularly eager for us to defeat Goliath?"

"Huh?!" The orc's face changed and he became furious.

"Nonsense! This is sheer nonsense! Don't you have to keep entangled in this murder case? If you want to investigate, you have to return to the surface, and to return to the surface, you have to pass through Goliath's room. If you don't defeat the Lone King of the Labyrinth, do you have any other way?! Answer me?!"

"you!"

Anqi was enraged, and her golden cat eyes glared at the orc adventurer in front of her.

Which clan does the other party’s adventurer belong to?

So arrogant.

In fact, Xingjian really knows a secret path that leads to the surface, which is the "artificial maze" on the 18th floor. It is the passage used by heretics and dark factions.

Unfortunately, the exact location is unknown, and it requires the Eye of Daedalus to open...

Therefore, the only way to reach the surface through the regular route is to Goliath's room, so Xingjian can only remain silent.

"enough!"

Raul raised his hand to stop the argument and quickly made a plan, speaking rapidly:

"Ignazio, Denise, the two of you Level 3s will stay behind and guard the body. The rest of you will immediately return to camp and prepare. We'll be ready to subjugate Goliath in half an hour!"

Raul glanced across the tavern, his tone unquestionable: "While the Loki family is away, no one is allowed to approach the body. Otherwise, they will be treated as accomplices of the murderer!"

The two named adventurers obeyed the order solemnly.

As LV3 second-level strongmen, they are enough to deter the villains in Rivera Town.

"Come on, Loki family!"

"Let's solve it soon so we can drink in peace!"

"Everything depends on you!"

"I believe you can do it."

The other adventurers echoed in agreement, and the atmosphere became strangely lively.

The orc man quietly retreated to the corner with a sinister smile on his face.

Before leaving, Miss Liu took one last glance in the direction of the orcs.

Too deliberate...

The elf girl felt that the orc adventurer's urging was almost like guiding them to enter Goliath's room "on time."

This murder... maybe it was just a "bait"?

But the situation now is a bit tricky.
