You call this magic?

"Then you must not have been to the dungeon very often. You often see her training there alone with her sword."

"Didn't all the officials from the Loki clan come when we sold wine last time? Didn't you see them?"

"We're maintaining order in the front... those backstage are so lucky."

The early-rising Soma clan members whispered to each other, but no one dared to approach her.

Are you kidding? That's the famous "Sword Princess". Loki almost treats her like a treasure and hides her away. There is even a rumor that anyone who dares to attack the "Sword Princess" will be kidnapped by a group of men in black.

But this was not the main reason why no one approached her. The main reason was that she had a little follower by her side.

"Lefiya, there's no need to be so nervous. Everyone here is a good person." Ai Si whispered softly. She was simple-minded and could easily feel the emotions of others. At this moment, the eyes of the people around her were full of curiosity and respect, which made Ai Si feel less uncomfortable.

"But, but Lady Livilia said that I will be the one to protect Miss Ais!" The elf held the wand tightly and leaned against Ais, as if afraid that someone would snatch Ais away from her.

"Lefiya needs to become stronger than me before she can protect me." Ais replied seriously.

Man, that's not what I meant...

Volume 2 Dungeon Encounter (I): Chapter 34 Aisi: Can't I have them all?

Not long after, Ethan appeared and saw Ai Si from a distance. After their eyes met, Ethan nodded at her and walked directly out of the clan gate.

Ai Si stood up and followed without saying a word.

"Ms. Ais, Miss Ais! Wait for me!" Lefiya, who found herself suddenly left behind, chased after her while shouting.

Her mind was still full of Livilia's instructions to her.

If Ais has any emotions other than fighting, she must report what happened to the clan at night. It is said that this is Loki's strong request.

Lefiya had no objection to this, as she had been planning to do so anyway.

Miss Aisi is Miss Aisi from the Loki clan. It is impossible for her to be an adventurer from another clan!

Although there has never been any reports of "office romance" among the Loki family since they took off as a whole, the reason why precedents are precedents is that someone has to start it, right?

But Aisi...a girl who has never fallen out of the top three on the Orario popularity list, has never been involved in any scandals.

Everyone knows that this girl only thinks about chopping and killing, and her strength is growing at an extremely fast rate.

The men who are qualified to pursue her, except for Freya's family who are only in love with the goddess, are not as strong as her at the same age, and those who are stronger than her are too old. This is the situation, so everyone has always been relieved.

But Ethan showed up and completely broke the deadlock that no one was worthy of her, causing the entire Loki family to be unexpectedly panicked.

Lefiya was the most panicked one.

The main reason is that there is no precedent. God knows whether Ai Si will be moved by other people's actions!

A group of parents were worried sick, but they could only let things develop as they did. After all, you can't stop Ai Si from becoming stronger, right?

The three of them reached the central square as quickly as possible. However, since it was quite early and the Monster Festival was about to be held, they did not see many adventurers heading towards the dungeon in the central square.

"By the way, Miss 'Thousand Fairies', can you keep up with the speed of 'Sword Lady'?" Ethan suddenly asked when they were about to enter the dungeon.

"If Miss Ais is marching at a fast pace, I can't keep up." Although she was unhappy, Lefiya still answered the question.

"Then Miss Sword Princess, can you take her away?" Ethan's gaze shifted to Ai Si. "We need to dive a little deeper."

"Okay." Ai Si nodded.

At this moment, two blushes immediately appeared on Lefiya's little face next to her.

Ai, Miss Ai Si is taking me with her, doesn't that mean...

A picture immediately appeared in her mind of her being carried forward by Princess Ais.

Then, she suddenly felt herself flying into the air. Before she could get excited, she found herself being carried upright on someone's shoulders, with her face facing backwards.

"Set off."

"Hey, wait, Miss Ais, ehhhhhhhhhhhh——"

In an instant, accompanied by Lefiya's screams, the three of them quickly entered the dungeon.

……

In exchange for letting Ethan teach Ais to become stronger, the condition is the specific information obtained by Loki's family, which was also sent by Lefiya.

Loki's family has discovered quite a few anomalies in the dungeon.

Monsters on the seventeenth floor may riot, or there may be enhanced monsters that will devour other similar magic stones to strengthen themselves.

But the most important thing was the monster they discovered during their expedition to the 50th floor.

Those were some large green worms that had never appeared before. The key point was that if these monsters were killed, they would burst out a highly corrosive liquid. The supplies of Loki's clan were destroyed after encountering them, forcing them to stop on the 50th floor.

Ais's sword was also damaged in this battle, but it was a sword with the "indestructible" attribute.

And the most crucial thing is that the 50th floor is usually classified as a [safe floor], just like the 18th floor, there should be no monsters there.

The 18th, 28th, 38th, and 50th floors are all such safe floors. Their common feature is that they are located on the floor below the main floor of each floor.

However, a monster appeared on the fiftieth floor, a completely new kind that no one had ever seen before. This was an abnormal situation among abnormal situations.

The most important thing is the magic stones dropped by these monsters.

It's not the normal purple, but an "Extreme Color Magic Stone" that changes color.

This is a big problem.

When Loki went on his expedition... it seemed like he had just arrived in this world not long ago.

Is it possible that these two things are related?

Ethan thought about it and decided that whether it existed or not, he had to go look for it.

Maybe the possibility of returning lies in the monsters on the fifty floors.

This information was important and Ethan was very satisfied. So, since Loki had paid him, he had to do it.

Twenty-fourth floor.

This is the last level of the tree maze. There are many types of monsters and the environment is more suitable.

"Let's do it here." They found a piece of open space, which was surrounded by all kinds of strange plants. There were also monsters wandering around.

【Magic to drive away monsters and wild animals】

Soon, a transparent magic barrier surrounded the open space.

"This is..." Lefiya was almost immediately attracted by this magic.

"Although the barrier magic doesn't affect our entry and exit, it will prevent demons and monsters from approaching. It's quite practical."

This is not just "quite" practical, it is extremely practical!

If Lefiya wasn't a particularly extroverted person, she would have been furious. This kind of magic is already far ahead in practicality in the dungeon!

If the effect is as Ethan said, this magic alone will make Loki spend a lot of money to hire Ethan to join the expedition, just like they hired the blacksmiths of Hephaestus's family to help maintain the equipment.

Aisi had obviously thought of this, and Ethan's expression made her even more curious.

It was another magic. From the first time Ai Si met Ethan until now, he had performed many magics, and almost none of them were repeated.

This is in stark conflict with the common sense that adventurers can only have three magic slots.

"Okay, 'Sword Princess', next, I'll give you two choices." Ethan inserted two fingers deep into his body.

"First, I'll teach you a spell that will significantly increase your current strength, and we'll be even."

"Second, follow me and practice, but you may not see any results in the short term."

Aisi looked at the two fingers Ethan raised, tilted her head, and a look of confusion appeared on her face.

"Can't I choose both?"

Ethan slowly typed a "?".

No, I want you to choose one of the two, not to be like Oboi and have both.

"It's not impossible, but it might require a small price to pay." Ethan said, "However, I can assume for now that you need that magic, right?"

"Yes." Ai Si nodded, her eyes filled with the desire to become stronger.

Volume 2: Dungeon Encounter (I): Chapter 35: Aisi's [Magic Weaponry]

Just a few days later, the 24th floor of the dungeon saw another wave of fish explosions.

The monsters were feeling miserable. They had just been born, had just fallen out of the earth wall, and didn't even know what role they were playing, but they saw a slender figure with wind all over his body falling from the sky, holding a branch and blowing their heads off.

This scene lasted for half an hour on this floor.

The culprit is naturally Ai Si, who has just obtained the dark magic.

The transfer magic is a cramming-style learning method, and even a simple child like Ai Si can fully understand how to use this magic in an instant. However, this magic has a limitation, that is, if you don't know any kind of attack magic, this magic will be useless and will become a pure waste.

Even if it can release a small fireball, it can be absorbed into the body to create [Magic Weaponry].

The average adventurer has a maximum of three magic slots, and Ethan's transfer magic learning magic does not occupy a magic slot, otherwise Mary would not have been able to learn that series of prayers.

Although Ai Si's [Wind Spirit Sprint] is a magic that strengthens the body and mind, its limitation is that this magic focuses too much on "releasing". It releases wind pressure to the outside all the time, which is a waste of magic power.

The most important thing is that [Wind Sprint] interferes with the body from the outside, allowing the wind to wrap around the body. Using it for too long will put a burden on the body and the weapons in the hand. This sequelae is okay for Ethan, but for Ess, it will seriously affect her endurance.

The [Magic Weaponry] can solve this biggest pain point. The magic of wind is from the inside out, strengthening the user himself, and even strengthening the weapon in his hand, which will greatly reduce the burden on the body.

After Ai Si fixed the wind and absorbed it into her body, although she looked almost the same as before, any adventurer who had watched her fight for many years could tell the difference at a glance.

Although the wind blew, it was not "entangled" but "fused".

[Magic Weaponry·Wind Spirit Sprint], after successfully using this magic, Ai Si fell into a strange state of excitement. After all, her main weapon was being repaired and her secondary weapon was broken, so she simply picked up a branch on the side of the road and rushed out to work.

In this state, Ai Si not only jumped higher than before, but also increased the short-term flying distance a lot, not to mention the most important speed, which was simply a shotgun upgradation. She even accidentally hit the rock wall during her first sprint, causing the surrounding monsters to become agitated.

"Ms. Ais!"

After seeing this scene, Lefiya turned pale and was about to rush out.

"Don't run around, little elf girl." Ethan's voice sounded from behind, "The current 'Sword Princess', that level will not have any effect on her."

“But, but!”

"Hiss, you little brat! You've been with her for so long." Ethan leaned in close to Lefiya, rubbing his chin and sneering, "You don't even trust her as much as an outsider like me."

"You, what did you say!" Lefiya was anxious, really anxious. It was okay for you to say that she was weak, she felt that she was not worthy of being around the cadres, but if you questioned her trust in Ais, she would totally not tolerate it.

"Don't worry, look over there." Before Lefiya could start to argue with him, he grabbed her shoulders and turned her body the other way, facing Ais. "Instead of arguing with me, why not take a good look at the current 'Sword Princess'? You can get a more intuitive understanding of the current strength of the person you respect."

? ! ! !

What Ethan didn't know was that at this moment, Lefiya's eyes were fixed on the hand on her shoulder.

Lefiya has mysophobia. At first, she felt physically and mentally uncomfortable with the touch of people other than elves, but after meeting Ais, she found that this discomfort could exclude one person.

She may not even be able to touch people of the same sex or other races, let alone men. Once she touches them, she will feel uncomfortable and nauseous all over her body, which can last for a whole day.

But why can this hand touch me so easily?

Although she did feel uncomfortable psychologically, she didn't even get goose bumps physically, which was unusual.

But now, she has no time to think about these things.

"Please, please don't touch me!" Lefiya struggled to get away from Ethan and stood quietly about five meters away from Ethan.

Although her eyes were fixed on Ai Si, her mind was in a mess.

After all, Lefiya had no way of knowing that Ethan had lived with a real elf for more than a year, doing things like braiding the other person's hair, and his body was already contaminated with the scent of the elves.

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean it." Ethan felt that he had indeed been a bit reckless. After all, he wasn't familiar with Lefiya. "I won't do that again."

"..." Lefiya did not reply because her attention was attracted by the battle in the distance.

It would be more accurate to say that Ais has become the wind itself, rather than the wind that is carrying her. It is the terrifying "Sickle-Weasel Wind".

A gust of wind blew, and the monsters were broken into several pieces, but Lefiya couldn't even see where Ais was.

The key point is, she was holding a branch!

Finally, she saw Ai Si rising into the air and temporarily pausing in the air.

She even gained the ability to stay airborne for short periods of time.

There was an indescribable smile on Ai Si's face. The branch in her hand was still the same one as before, and the wind wrapped it tightly. Then, Ai Si "swung the sword" downwards.
