Wrong, my props refresh every day

The orc adventurer seemed to realize that he was being watched, so he simply sat in the corner of the tavern, drinking alone and not leaving.

He neither ran away nor made any further provocative remarks. He just occasionally glanced in the direction of Loki's family with a faint sneer on his lips.

Liu's fingertips were slightly tensed, and the green leaf throwing knife was ready to fly out at any time, but she couldn't do it now.

No evidence.

If they attacked an adventurer based solely on suspicion, it would not only incur public outrage but also damage the reputation of the Loki Familia. As one of the most powerful Families in the city, they must demonstrate fairness and responsibility.

Quickly defeat the Goliath, the Lord of the 17th Floor, return to the surface, and then hand the case over to the professional Ganesha family.

But if I leave like this...

Ryu's gaze shifted between Hoshimi and the beastman.

If I stay behind to monitor the orcs, what will happen if Xingjian encounters danger during the expedition?

But if Xing Jian is allowed to stay, the Loki clan will lack the support of Xing Jian's magical props and may be at a disadvantage in the face of unexpected situations...

Liu fell into a rare hesitation, but finally decided to follow the main force of Loki's family. After all, Raul had just made the most appropriate decision.

Two LV3 adventurers were left behind.

One intimidated everyone and told them to keep the body safe, while the other secretly monitored the orc adventurer.

Is this the ability of [Super Ordinary Man] to change on the spot?

Not bad at all.

----

The Dusk Pavilion on the surface was shrouded in a blood-red sunset, and the crystal chandelier cast three elongated shadows on the gilded wallpaper.

With a crisp "click", the quill in Finn's hand suddenly broke, and the black ink spread across the parchment, looking like dirty blood oozing from the depths of the dungeon.

"what happened?"

Livilia immediately looked up, her pointed elf ears turning sharply towards the leader of the dwarfs, and then she noticed that Finn was holding his right thumb tightly with his left hand, and the predictive instinct inherited from the blood of the [Brave] was issuing a warning.

"My thumb... suddenly felt a sharp sting." Finn Lake's blue pupils trembled slightly. "Laur and the others... might be in trouble."

Grace's thick beard trembled with his deep laughter. "Hahaha! Are you worrying too much? A mere Level 4 Goliath, even Angel could easily take it out alone, not to mention two Level 4s, Alysia and Raul, following him."

The dwarf warrior waved his hand dismissively.

This expedition was originally a trial of great deeds prepared for Lefiya. In his opinion, sending three LV4 guards seemed a bit of an overreaction.

"No..." Finn stared at the setting sun outside the window, his solemn face reflected in the glass. "This premonition is different. I trust my intuition."

The air suddenly became heavy.

Grace's smile faded.

He knew very well that the reason why Loki's family had survived countless life-and-death crises in the dungeon was precisely because of Finn's seemingly absurd intuition.

"Call Bert over." The leader of the dwarf tribe suddenly turned around and said.

Livilia nodded in understanding and prepared to leave, but out of caution she asked, "Should we let Aisi also..."

"No, just Burt," Finn interrupted decisively, then continued, "Speed ​​is the most important thing right now. At full speed, Burt can get from the base to the 17th floor in just 87 minutes."

Grace gripped the axe handle silently.

The last time Finn's thumb hurt so much was when they encountered the Monster Feast during their last expedition.

If Finn hadn't felt the pain in his thumb, Loki's family would have suffered heavy losses if they hadn't adjusted their tactics in time.

At the same time, in the cracks of the rock wall on the 17th floor of the dungeon, the originally clear groundwater is gradually being replaced by a viscous liquid with a golden glow.

These strange liquids flowed silently through the maze's veins, converging towards a central point as if possessing life...

----

Maze Park, entrance to the 18th floor.

The second team of Loki's family was doing the final equipment check, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of weapon maintenance oil.

"Everyone, listen up!"

As the leader of the second team, Raul began to arrange the team's march.

"[Maze Lone King] Goliath will respawn in 20 minutes. Considering the width of the passage, we will enter in three batches—"

Raul raised his right fist and said:

"I will lead the first team. They will carry heavy armor-piercing equipment and will depart in one minute."

"Angie will be in charge of the second team. Bring the center back team and some wizards to follow up in T+5 minutes. Remember to maintain a safe distance."

Raul looked at Hoshimi, Ryu, and Welf, indicating that the three of them could set off with him.

"Alysia will lead the third team. All mages are under your command. Enter the arena in T+10 minutes."

"Meet at the Wall of Sighs in the last five minutes for final adjustments! Got it?"

"clear!!"

Raul, who served as the vanguard, led several vanguard warriors into the dark passage leading to the 17th floor.

Five minutes later, the second echelon of Loki's family quickly formed up. An Qi flicked her tail and turned to Xing Jian and Liu and said, "Are you ready? It's our turn!"

Hoshimi, Ryu, and Welf said it was no problem.

At this moment, Lefiya came trotting over, her long, mountain-colored hair swaying gently with her movements.

"Alysia-senpai said... I can go with Hoshimi-san... ah, no, I can go with Angie..."

Lefiya twisted her fingers awkwardly.

The black-haired cat-man narrowed his cat eyes cunningly, his gaze moving between Hoshimi and Lefiya.

[Gale] Ryu, [Pure Garden] Alicia, and this little Yamabuki-iro elf in front of me...

This is the nth elf that has shown interest in Xingjian!

"Ms. Anqi! Please... please give me your guidance."

Lefiya's face flushed instantly, and her pointed ears turned pink.

"I know~ Then let's go." An Qi smiled evilly and stretched out the tone.

The team moved along the damp passage, with fluorescent moss casting a faint blue halo above their heads.

"Wait..." An Qi, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped, her cat ears erected in alertness, and her nostrils twitched slightly: "Do you smell... the smell of wine?"

“No, no…”

Lefiya shook her head in confusion.

The sense of smell of humans and elves is far less acute than that of cat people.

Just as they were hesitating, a large amount of viscous liquid with a golden glow suddenly seeped out from the rock wall in front of them. The liquid flowed along the rock wall as if it had life, emitting a rich aroma of wine.

"Hurry and meet up with Raul."

The team sped through the increasingly humid passage and finally arrived at the Wall of Sighs.

The frozen Goliath was still quietly embedded in the rock wall, and Raul and others were waiting at a safe distance.

"Angie, you're here? It seems we were worrying too much..." Raul said with a sigh of relief.

However, at this seemingly peaceful moment——

On the upper floors of the Tower of Babel, floor-to-ceiling crystal windows offered a panoramic view of the entire Orario. Dionysus swirled his wine glass, his purplish-red eyes reflecting the werewolf sprinting down the street below.

"You run so fast~" The God of Wine chuckled, and a drop of dazzling golden divine blood condensed on his fingertips.

"What a shame... it's too late, huh?"

The moment the blood drop fell into the wine glass, the entire glass of wine suddenly boiled and turned into a wisp of golden mist that floated towards the hidden ventilation duct, leading directly to the secret path of the dungeon.

at the same time--

Inside the tavern in Rivera Town, the corpse soaked in the blood of God suddenly convulsed violently!

Dark golden blood seeped into the cracks in the floor like a living thing, spreading strange runes along the wood texture.

The remaining adventurers retreated in fear.

"The corpse is melting!"

………………

Dungeon 17th Floor——

The [Luck] attribute behind Xingjian suddenly burst into golden light.

"Boom——!!!"

The entire Wall of Sighs shook violently!

----

Chapter 68 Black Goliath: What's on the other side of the wall?

Tower of Babel.

The golden-haired god leaned against the white jade railing, his slender fingertips gently caressing the rim of his wine glass. The setting sun cast an ethereal halo around him, and his hair, like flowing honey-gold, swayed gently in the wind.

His eyes were golden, like the rising sun, but they flashed with a dangerous glimmer, as if just one glance could make people indulge in them and forget their reason.

Dionysus chuckled, a cunning curve on the corner of his lips, and looked down at the prosperous Orario below.

The streets were bustling with people, and adventurers came and went, completely unaware of the impending disaster.

The dungeon shaking... has begun.

Dionysus, the chief god of the Familia, is one of the most mysterious mysteries in Orario.

He always maintains a gentle and calm demeanor to the outside world, speaks softly and has a friendly smile, as if he is just a god of wine obsessed with the art of brewing.

Guild records described his clan as mediocre in strength, their members as low-key, and their record of never achieving remarkable feats in the dungeon. However, unknown to everyone, those seemingly ordinary members had long been secretly weaving a web of destruction.

However, the divine wine brewed by Dionysus could intoxicate even the gods, its strength far surpassing the fine wine of Soma. But who could have imagined that behind this intoxicating sweetness lay a deadly poison capable of subverting an entire city?

[On the surface, he is a gentle and kind god, but in reality, he is Enio, the "city destroyer" who secretly plans to destroy Orario]

In the eternal heavens, Dionysus is the most disturbing being among the gods.

He loved to incite the gods to fight each other, enjoying the fear and despair of their temporary death. However, the gods were immortal, and even if they were torn apart, burned, and annihilated, they would be resurrected the next moment and continue to chat and laugh.

Therefore, the struggle in heaven is nothing but an endless farce - people are fighting for their lives one moment, and drinking together the next moment as if nothing had happened.

But Dionysus was not satisfied with this.

He longed to feel real fear, to see irreparable despair.

Three thousand years ago, a dungeon suddenly appeared in the underworld. Countless monsters poured out, devouring mortals and plunging the entire world into panic.

Dionysus was ecstatic.

He finally found a stage where he could enjoy himself to the fullest - the lives of mortals in the underworld were fragile and short, their fears were so real, and their despair was so sweet.

However, a thousand years ago, Uranus came down to earth and completely ruined his fun.

Uranus not only granted mortals the "Blessings of God," but also established a "Secret Covenant" to suppress the dungeon with divine prayers, restoring order to the world. Dionysus hated this self-righteous sky god for robbing him of his only pastime!

In order to seek revenge, Dionysus himself descended to the mortal world, disguised as a gentle and harmless god of wine.

He usually behaves elegantly and calmly, obeying the guild's orders, even leading his fellow members to believe that he is a benevolent deity. No one doubts that this blond god, always smiling with a wine glass in hand, is already consumed by a mad desire for destruction.

Fifteen years before the original story, Zeus and Hera's family failed in their expedition against the Black Dragon, leaving Orario with a power vacuum and forces in the dark beginning to stir.

Dionysus knew that his opportunity had come.

He began to make secret plans, preparing to completely tear apart the order of Uranus and return the world to a chaotic era where monsters were rampant.

Six years before the original work, during the "Nightmare on the 27th Floor" incident, the "Filthy Fairy" clone lurking in the deep layers was attracted by Ais's fairy bloodline, came to the lower layer, killed Felweiss Shalia, and transformed her corpse into a monster.

In the side story [Sword Princess Sacred Tale], Dionysus sensed the existence of the "filthy fairy spirit" through the monsterized Felweiss.

He realized that this fallen immortal was exactly the "ally" he had been dreaming of.

Thus, Dionysus came into contact with the "Filthy Fairy" through Felweiss, and the underground forces controlled by it——

Including Revis and the remnants of the dark faction, and reached an agreement with them.

In order to deceive the other gods, Dionysus deliberately drank divine wine to make himself drunk and hypnotic so that the other gods would not realize that he was lying.
