You call this magic?

Then he saw two bodies.

The death was extremely tragic, and the wide-open eyes seemed to tell others how terrifying something they had just seen was.

It was exactly the people of Apollo's family.

“Ahhhh!!——”

Bell screamed at the first moment, but almost the next second, he immediately covered his mouth and desperately ran away the same way he came.

[Assassin's Footwork] can eliminate the sound of footsteps, but cannot eliminate the sound of talking.

It was this scream that stimulated the monsters hiding there, which turned out to be the same carnivorous plants as those on the ground.

The wriggling sound quickly rushed towards the direction where Bell escaped, but after searching for a while, the carnivorous plants were silent.

Because they couldn't find the invisible Bell at all, they could only return to where they were and stare blankly. After all, they had not received any order to pursue.

Bell was running away, but the appearance of the dead was not a problem that he could solve at his level. However, when he ran towards home from the previous sewer, he found that the Apollo family members he had knocked down before, and even the Apollo family members guarding the sewer, had disappeared at the same time. Even after he walked out of the sewer and returned to the ground, the Apollo family members did not appear again.

Bell was terrified. After crawling back to his clan, he immediately rushed to Su Mo's office and recounted his previous experience incoherently.

Although there were some inconsistencies in his words, Su Mo, who had lived for hundreds of millions of years, still understood what Bell said.

The Apollo Families attacked the predecessors of the Bell and Soma Families, but some of the Apollo Families suddenly died for unknown reasons during the battle. Other Apollo Families suddenly disappeared afterwards, so it is not ruled out that they may have returned to the Families base.

But no matter which possibility it is, it is a foregone conclusion that something happened to Apollo's family. In any case, this also involves several of Bell's predecessors who were captured, so Somo must come forward to negotiate with Apollo.

……

Orario, Monster Festival at night, in a private room on the second floor of a pub on East Street.

The blond male god was smiling and enjoying the bustling crowd, as if the riots that happened during the day had no impact at all, and was having a drink alone.

At this moment, a dark shadow quietly appeared in front of him.

"There are little bugs? See?"

"I only heard the sound... Quite interesting. It's no ordinary bug that can evade your detection."

"You can do whatever you want with it."

The shadow disappeared and the man continued drinking as if nothing had happened.

Volume 2 Dungeon Encounter (I): Chapter 50: The Waters of the Elves Are Too Deep, You Can't Grasp Them

At night, the streets were extremely lively. Even the relatively poor southeastern area of ​​Orario was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, especially near the recently emerging Soma clan, which perfectly demonstrated the business philosophy of "if you have money, you can do whatever you want". A snack street was opened on a branch road near the Soma clan, adjacent to East Street, and ending at the entrance of Daedalus Street.

Because everyone had experienced a long period of hardship under the rule of Chanis, the prices were set very low, allowing many poor people on Daedalus Street to experience the festive atmosphere on a limited budget.

Therefore, Daedalus Street unexpectedly became a lot more lively today. There were so many people that many adventurers and citizens who usually don't come here also came to see the excitement.

It is very true that people will go wherever there is excitement.

Amidst this bustling crowd, Bell Craney was preoccupied.

Su Mo told him not to run around. If Bell went with him, he might be attacked by Apollo's followers. So it was most appropriate for Su Mo to go alone. After all, no matter how brave Apollo was, he would not dare to directly kidnap Su Mo, who was so popular recently.

"Lord God..."

Bell was very worried about Su Mo, and even more worried about the seniors who were captured, but the leader was not there, and other acquaintances were not there either, so he could do nothing at this time.

If he could become stronger faster, he would be able to investigate all this more easily.

Bell Crany, who had just joined the Soma clan not long ago and was already able to defeat a level 2 advanced adventurer, thought so while denouncing his own incompetence.

Now, he can only stay at the door of his clan and always be in crowded places. This is the order Su Mo gave him, that is, he must never run around.

Feeling the care in Su Mo's words, Bell felt like crying.

At this moment, his mind was full of becoming stronger.

"Um...Excuse me, is this the Soma clan?"

At this moment, a pleasant voice sounded not far behind Bell, instantly attracting his attention.

There is no way. Girls are still as lethal to Bell as ever.

He turned his head stiffly, his eyes widened instantly, and his face flushed instantly.

Because an elf girl appeared in front of him.

As we all know, among the elves, no one, male or female, has a low appearance, except for the one in the guild, who is an exception among exceptions.

The one in front of him was even more beautiful, with long black hair that was different from other elves. He didn't know who she could compare with, but Bell only knew that he was almost overwhelmed by his passion.

"Hey hey hey, are you talking to me?"

Bell waved his arms around frantically, pointing at himself with shaking fingers.

The elf girl opposite smiled slightly and nodded: "Yes, it's you, Bell Crane of the Soma clan. I've heard of you. You're a very hardworking child."

The tone was so gentle. If Bell could muster up the courage to look at the other person, he would be able to see the teasing hidden in those eyes.

"Actually, I'm very interested in the Soma clan, Bell-kun, would you like to go for a walk with me when you have time?"

The elf girl smiled sweetly, obviously knowing what Bell was going to do. When she stretched out her hand and was about to hold Bell's hand, a hand suddenly came out from the middle and grabbed the tender white hand.

The elf's face changed and he quickly turned around to look.

She actually didn't notice anyone approaching at all.

"Hey, I wonder what this lady wants from my child?"

Bell's eyes widened, and his lips trembled: "Captain!"

The person who appeared in front of the two was Ethan, who had finally returned to the surface after staying in the dungeon for a whole day.

The lightning attribute magic weapon is indeed taking off quickly. Although the pure destructive power is not as high as the fire attribute, the comprehensive combat power is indeed the strongest.

Especially when it comes to traveling, it crushes the wind attribute which is known for its sprinting speed.

During this journey, Rui Weisi did wake up several times, but the combination of [Calmness] and physical attacks made her suffer a heavy blow and fall unconscious again every time she woke up.

Ethan was very annoyed. Why can't you, a woman, just stay unconscious for a while longer? What if your head gets blown off?

Rui Weisi was also very annoyed. She also wanted to faint completely, but as a weirdo, her recovery ability was strong, so it was not her fault.

It was really bad luck for her to encounter Ethan's special situation.

The ground was as lively as ever. On this night, Orario could basically be considered another city that never sleeps. Many adventurers would party until the next morning before going back to rest. It was a rare scene.

The commercial street on the Soma clan's side was approved by him, otherwise even Lily would not be able to allocate this money.

At this time, Revisited, who was still in a coma, was floating in the sky in an invisible state in a similar posture to Mary.

"Please don't touch me!" The elf frowned, showing a disgusted expression and shook off Ethan's hand. "How could the leader of the Soma clan be such an impolite person!"

"Ahaha, I'm so sorry, the elf... oh, you are an elf, then... big sister?"

“…I’m only nineteen years old!”

Ah, I'm anxious.

It seems that even the immortal species would be very concerned about their age. It seems that we can't use this to tease Livilia. It's a pity.

"Is there a possibility?" Ethan smiled unchanged as he looked at the puffed-up elf girl in front of him who was a head shorter than him. "I'm only sixteen, three years younger than you."

At this moment, he could see the elf girl in front of him turned to stone instantly.

Ethan's temperament doesn't belong to a teenager. If you only look at his appearance, it's easy to mistake him for being around 22 years old. Only if you look closely can you see the childishness that still remains on his face.

"Well, big sister Elf, what on earth do you want from my Bell?"

"Uh, that, Captain, actually this sister..." Bell seemed to be moved, and the love in his heart that had been dormant for a long time emerged again.

Ethan turned his head, patted Bell's shoulder gently, and spoke earnestly.

"Bell, listen to my advice. The waters of the elves are too deep for you to handle. Leave this to the captain. He can handle it."

Bell: “Oh, no—”

"Don't say anything more, kid. Leave this to the captain. I'm going to chat about life with this elf lady first. You wait in the yard for a while... Don't come out."

Bell was silent, crying silently in his heart. Captain, you are so rude. You are simply snatching people away in front of us!

But Bell was still a good boy after all. As soon as the captain came back, the panic in his heart disappeared. He looked at the still petrified little sister reluctantly, and returned to the clan’s base with a sad face.

Not until Bell's figure disappeared did Ethan turn around and look at the elf girl who had been freed from petrification.

"I know you, Miss Filvis Shalia." Ethan's face still had an unfathomable smile. "The leader of the Dionysus clan, back then... Oh, sorry, I can't say that, I slipped up. Since you're here, does that mean that the divine wine that Lord Dionysus promised has finally been found?"

Volume 2: Dungeon Encounters (Part 1): Chapter 51: "Hit It Off"

"Indeed." Filvis recovered from petrification with a rather subtle expression. She subconsciously glanced at the gate of the Soma clan, then at Ethan who was blocking the door. She knew that her main task might not be completed, but it didn't matter. She was still thinking about how to start the conversation, and Ethan brought it up himself. Isn't that like giving someone a pillow when they are sleepy?

"I'm here this time, following the Lord God's orders, to invite you to the clan to taste the divine wine brewed by Lord Dionysus himself. This is the agreement between the Lord God and you."

"In that case, we can be considered a perfect match, right? Bell has only just arrived at the Familiar, so I'll have to take on the task of accompanying the beautiful young lady." Ethan coughed lightly. "But, as you can see, I just came back from the dungeon, and I'm not in a state to see anyone right now. So, you should go back first. I'll pack up and come visit again tomorrow. Then, I'll tell you everything you want to know."

Ethan had said this much, and Philvis had nothing to say. He nodded and turned to leave.

Ethan watched Filvis's back disappear at the end of the street, then turned and entered the clan gate.

The moment he saw Philvis, many confusing links in his mind were cleared up.

Because of this Filvis, the way the magic power flows in his body is exactly the same as Rui Weisi's.

In other words, Filvis is also a weirdo like Revis, so Dionysus behind her must know about it. He doesn't believe that the identity of a weirdo can be hidden from his own main god.

If Dionysus is behind those two guys in the dungeon, then maybe I can get some new information on this trip.

The main reason is that Ethan doesn't know whether there are other weirdos in Orario, and whether Dionysus is the biggest mastermind. If not, he can't alert the enemy now.

Now the information gap between the two sides has reached a point where the table can be turned over, and Ethan can manipulate the other party at will.

Besides, there has to be a purpose, right? It can't just be about Ethan dying. Who would benefit from his death?

Ethan couldn't think of it yet.

The enemy is in the open and we are in the dark. This is of great help in investigating the truth and is almost the ideal situation.

The most important thing is that the Soma clan is not a small clan. Once something happens, it will attract attention. Ethan himself is not a weak person, so he will not be suddenly assassinated.

Anyway, let’s first understand what happened in Orario today.

……

After a while, in the clan hall, amid the chatter of clan members, Ethan finally figured out a series of things.

He was pleasantly surprised by Mary's performance, except that the title of "saint" was a bit hot to handle. However, as long as the meeting of gods had not been convened, she would not be given a strange title for the time being.

Oh my god, Ethan himself has reached level 2. He really doesn’t want to know what title he will be assigned when the time comes.

Anyway, give little Marie a reward!

He patted the little mermaid's head hard, and the latter was so happy that she was a little dazed.

As for the little mermaid's two fake besties, Lily and Hestia, they had fun the whole day and didn't even know that something had happened to Orario until the very end.

Now he was lying on the table with his head in his hands, not moving at all. He had no idea such a big thing had happened, and they were so upset that they were speechless.

As for the other matter, it is more serious.

The monster riot and the carnivorous plant were all within Ethan's expectations, but Apollo's attack on Bell so early was really beyond his expectations, and it happened on Daedalus Street, which made finding evidence difficult.

The key point is that there are deaths this time, and they are from Apollo's family. At this time, the safety of several missing members becomes even more important.

Looks like I won't be able to sleep tonight.

"When did the god Soma leave?" Ethan asked.

"Half an hour ago."

"...I'll go there. You guys guard the house and temporarily close the clan gate. If anyone tries to break in, you can take direct action after giving three warnings. Do you understand?" Ethan said.

"Yes!"

Although there is no problem with Enhui now, which means that God Soma is fine, we cannot just ignore our main god forever.

All I can say is that it’s a good thing that Soma is not a goddess. His temperament makes it impossible for him to attract Apollo’s attention, otherwise... Ethan doesn’t dare to imagine what will happen.

As for the captured Rui Weisi, Ethan had already fed her half a bottle of complete Soma wine, and she was now completely in a trance. According to Soma's previous statement, this drunken state would probably last for a while, and she was temporarily locked up in a secret basement.

After going out, Ethan reached the Apollo clan at the fastest speed in invisible state.
