You call this magic?

"Captain, Captain...good afternoon." Bell's face was pale, but he still forced a smile.

Ethan actually gave him three magic spells in one breath, which made Bell flattered. So during training, he didn't care about his physical condition at all and just worked hard.

Then I almost broke myself into pieces.

[Recovery] was slapped directly on his face, and Bell's complexion visibly improved, although he still seemed quite exhausted mentally.

"Come with me, the Loki clan's celebration banquet should be held today."

"?" Bell looked at Ethan in confusion, not knowing what he meant.

Aren’t we the Soma clan?

"Bell, let me ask you, do you want to surpass that Burt Rocca?"

"Super, surpass Mr. Bert. How could it be possible for me..." Bell's face turned pale and he waved his hands quickly.

"Stop talking nonsense and just tell me whether you want it or not." Ethan waved his hand impatiently.

"think."

These days, Bell can feel his progress every day. In addition to gratitude to Bert, his savior, he also has a yearning and wants to become as powerful as Bert.

Beyond him, he was just an idea buried deep in his heart.

"Then follow me."

Volume 2: Dungeon Encounters (I): Chapter 28: The Mistress of Fertility

Northwest Street, after a day of hard work, most adventurers will take part of today's harvest to spend a lot.

Whether you just want to eat something delicious, drink to celebrate, repair or buy weapons, or even treat injuries, basically everything can be done on this street.

Even Loki's family is no exception. Although they are very rich, they are not the type to deliberately go to places like South Street to squander their money. Instead, they go wherever there is good food and a good atmosphere.

Northwest Street [The Mistress of Fertility] is Loki's favorite place.

Ethan has been in this world for so long, but he has never been there once. He always feels like something is missing.

Although judging from the current situation, he probably won't be able to see that famous scene, after all, the fates of Ace, Bert, and Bell have changed to varying degrees, but he has to join in the fun anyway.

And help Bell set goals for the next stage.

Now Bell is still in the stage of looking for short-term goals. Basically, he does whatever Ethan asks him to do. Becoming a hero is a very distant goal, but it is basically a goal that can be pursued for a lifetime, which is too illusory.

Just like the three-year agreement, Ethan had to set a short-term goal for this kid and let him work hard on his own. He couldn't always rely on Ethan to make arrangements.

Without subjective initiative, even if you can become stronger, the degree will be relatively limited.

[The Mistress of Fertility].

In the evening, Ethan and Bell arrived at the door of the store. There were not many people in the store, and it seemed that Loki and his group had not arrived yet.

At the door of the store, several girls dressed as waiters were welcoming customers. When they saw Ethan and Bell at the door, they were about to go over to them, but someone behind them had already taken the lead.

"Greetings, two great adventurers, is this your first time at the [Mistress of Plenty]?"

Ethan looked up and saw this waiter...who was he?

He subconsciously activated [Magic Detection], but couldn't sense any problems from her.

What's going on? This strange feeling of disharmony...

"Excuse me, adventurer, what's wrong with you?" The girl bent down slightly and approached Ethan with a worried look on her face.

Ethan subconsciously took a step back.

The girl was very cute. Her attitude, appearance and figure were all above the standard for a beautiful girl, but Ethan just felt that something was wrong.

"Ah, this, this, Captain?" Even Bell himself became nervous, as if he had discovered that something was wrong with the captain.

"Nothing. Sorry, ma'am. I just felt like I'd seen you somewhere before... Now it seems like it was an illusion. I apologize for my impoliteness." Ethan bowed slightly. "I'm Ethan, and this is Bell. This is indeed our first time here. Is there any room available?"

"Well, yes, but because Loki's family has already reserved several large tables in advance, there are only seats near the bar. Is that okay?" The girl tilted her head slightly, and a sweet smile appeared on her lips.

"Of course, please, this..."

"Don't call me 'Ms.' anymore. My name is Hill Froy. Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Ethan, Mr. Bell."

It seemed that Bell didn't expect that he would be greeted. His face turned red and he just lowered his head, not daring to look at anything.

In the past few days, he has been teased by the Amazons in his family. If Lily hadn't ordered them not to "eat" their own family members without their consent, Bell would have... cough cough.

Now he is basically allergic to women and tries to stay away from them as much as possible.

"What's happening to Hill today?"

"Isn't she in charge of the backfield?"

Although the two waiters at the door were surprised, they did not care. There was no palace fighting in the "rich hostess". Anyone who dared to do so would not be hired by the "hostess" in the first place.

As soon as I walked in, I was hit by the feeling of a tavern in another world. It was much more lively than the tavern in the capital of the Central Kingdom.

Maybe there aren't as many adventurers over there as here.

"It's so expensive... this one is so expensive too..." Looking at the menu, Bell was in a dilemma. He felt that none of the dishes were affordable with his income, at least not for now.

This is not Bell's fault. He travels light every day and can only take back the amount of magic stones he can afford. His daily income is not high, probably a few hundred faris at most.

Each dish on the menu of [The Hostess of Bounty] costs hundreds of fares, which is too much for a child to handle.

"Order whatever you want. The leader is treating us today."

After saying that, Ethan looked at the auntie at the bar and easily sensed the aura of a strong person from her. This should be the "hostess" herself, Mia.

"Please give this kid something generous and filling, preferably enough to keep him full until he can't walk anymore."

Hearing this, Bell's face turned pale instantly.

"Of course, no problem!" Mia said with a loud voice and a generous smile, as if changing gender wouldn't be awkward at all. "What about you, little brother?"

"Any recommendations?"

"Of course that's today's signature fried fish. Want to try it?"

"Try it." Ethan didn't care. He came here just to wait for people, so it didn't matter what he ate.

The waitress named Hill seemed to be very free and stood not far from them with a smile on her face. Every time Ethan looked in her direction, she would cleverly "suddenly" have work to do. When Ethan's attention moved elsewhere, she would stand there silently, quietly observing Ethan and Bell.

She seemed very interested in us.

Since this was not the main purpose of today, Ethan ignored it for the time being and ate the grilled fish quietly.

You know what, you really don’t say, this thing is quite delicious.

Bell, who was standing next to him, looked at the pile of fried noodles with an embarrassed expression, but still tried hard to eat it.

After being beaten all day, he was really hungry.

As Ethan was slowly adding the third fish to his meal, a group of about a dozen people entered the tavern accompanied by the sound of dense footsteps.

After seeing the squinty-eyed goddess leading the group, Ethan thought to himself: Here they come.

The appearance of Loki's family naturally caused a commotion among most of the customers in the tavern. After all, there were many beautiful young ladies here, especially the main members, and surprisingly, none of them were ugly.

"Loki's family, that is, Mr. Burt is here too?"

At this time, Bell just lowered his head to eat, not daring to look at anything or say anything.

"Mia, here we come!"

"okay!"

After Loki shouted, he sat down under the guidance of a cat girl. He was about to ask Ai Si to sit down as well, but at this moment, Ai Si's eyes were attracted by someone.

That was Ethan who was sitting there quietly eating.

"Aisi, where are you going?"

"Ais?"

When Ethan noticed, Ai Si was already standing beside him. Her eyes were cold, but one could see the deep-seated fighting spirit in them.

"?"

Volume 2 Dungeon Encounter (I): Chapter 29 Come Eat with Us

At this moment, Ess Wallenstein's eyes were fixed on Ethan. Although he didn't know what she wanted to do, he could see one thing: it was obvious that she wanted to fight again.

I have heard of Aisi's desire to become stronger quickly, but I didn't expect that she would target me.

Ethan raised his eyebrows and yelled, "You didn't fight enough before, are you going to do it again now?"

Little Sword Lady, it's understandable that you want to become stronger, but you can't keep looking for trouble again and again. Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you are pretty.

Fulilian is still my master. If she makes a mistake in life, I can still spank her with a feather duster.

She never talks back!

Just when Ethan was thinking about where to fight and which magic to use first, Ai Si actually straightened her legs and did a deep ninety-degree bow.

"I'm so sorry about what happened before."

Her voice sounded rather flat, but Aisi was not a child who showed her emotions particularly well. Most importantly, she did not pay much attention to the occasion when doing things.

As a result, the adventurers who had been secretly watching Ais, as well as the Loki family who didn't have time to stop Ais, were all shocked.

Fuck...

"So, that 'Sword Princess' is actually apologizing?"

"Who is that man?"

"Wait, it seems to be the one from the Soma clan!"

"Is it true? That monster leader of Soma?"

The adventurers were whispering to each other, and their curiosity was at its highest level. After learning about the identities of both parties, they were now very curious about what the famous "Sword Princess" had done to the Soma clan that she could ignore the face of the clan and apologize to a level 1 in front of everyone.

The reason why we know that Ethan is still at level 1 is that after adventurers upgrade, they will generally make a public announcement in the guild for a period of time. After all, in theory, the common goal of all adventurers is to conquer the dungeon, and it is also necessary to understand the abilities of their "companions".

As for the rumor that Ethan single-handedly defeated the Soma clan, most people did not believe it except for the clan members like Loki and Freya who knew Ethan's strength.

How could a level 1 person do such a thing? It's totally unreasonable.

But as long as the adventurers present today see the current scene, they will have no choice but to believe it.

Now some people are even speculating whether Ethan might have hidden his strength at Su Mo's instruction.

"Everyone." At this time, a calm voice sounded from the bar. The voice was not loud and the tone was very gentle, but for some reason, all the adventurers who were whispering shut up after hearing it.

When Ethan spoke, he used some magic. The general effect was to make his voice more penetrating. In terms of performance, it was no different from the head teacher entering a noisy classroom, and the classroom quickly became quiet.

"The Loki Familia have returned from their expedition. To Orario, they are the pioneers of dungeon raiding. The reason you can now profit from the dungeons smoothly is fundamentally due to their strategies, which were built by generations of Familia like them, who risked their lives. Therefore, their success is also the success of all of Orario. Enjoying it all on our own is still a bit lacking in atmosphere, so all purchases in the restaurant tonight will be covered by the Soma Familia. I hope you all will enjoy yourselves and help our heroes liven up the atmosphere. Thank you all very much."

Ethan raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.

"Good good!"

"Brave! You're right, little brother!"

"That's right. Without the strategy clan, we wouldn't have the chance to make a living from it."

"Praise Loki!"

"Long live the Raiders clan!"

Ethan's speech quickly won the favor of the adventurers present. They all started to order more dishes, toast, and drink. There was even a "bard" with a musical instrument who played and sang a song that fit the atmosphere very well, which immediately heated up the atmosphere.

As for Ai Si's apology, they were ready to forget it.

Ai Si raised her head and looked at Ethan. After taking in the gradually rising atmosphere and the helpless looks of her elders, she turned and left.

Ethan heaved a sigh of relief. It would be better if these guys understood his hint. If news of Ai Si apologizing publicly tomorrow got out, he would only be in trouble.

At this time, Hill, who had been planning to slack off and observe Ethan and Bell, finally couldn't catch any fish. He glared at Ethan with a little resentment and was then forced to work. "The Hostess of Bounty" is not a small restaurant. There are still a lot of people. If everyone adds one or two dishes, it will definitely be busy.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to do this." Mia's hands didn't stop. As the hostess and also the cook, she was able to do two things at once, bragging to Ethan while working. "Although I don't know what happened between you, I'm sure the Loki family won't bother you again because of this."

More than that, this is another favor that Loki owes Ethan. Loki is probably already thinking about how to repay him.

Ethan now really wanted to see how the other party would react.

"That Ethan is a very interesting guy." Finn smiled happily.
