Zongman: Don't move, Aisi, your family still owes me money

"Woooo..."

Lily cried even harder, but her little face was full of joy and excitement.

Chapter 26 Congratulations to the Goddess of Beauty?

"Tiya, I'm back."

Merlin pushed the door open, but didn't see the familiar blue figure.

"excuse me."

At this moment, a somewhat delicate voice came from behind Merlin.

Immediately afterwards, a petite figure followed Merlin's footsteps and walked into the house.

Her height, which was only half of Merlin's, naturally revealed her identity.

"Ah, I didn't expect that Lord Merlin's residence would be like this."

Lily popped her head out from behind Merlin, her little face full of curiosity. After looking around the basement, she said with some surprise.

"Master Merlin, there's only one bed here."

"Will you sleep on the sofa tonight?"

Lily looked at Merlin in confusion.

However, Merlin ignored him and pointed directly to the only bed.

"If you're tired, you can go to sleep first. I still need to make something."

"Can I watch from the side?"

"casual."

After hearing this, Lily nodded and sat on the edge of the bed, watching Merlin's work curiously.

At this time, Merlin came to the workbench and immediately took out the materials he had obtained from the maze today, preparing to refine them into new props.

At this time, Lily, who was sitting on the bed, subconsciously looked at the materials on the workbench.

Her little face was immediately filled with shock.

"The tongue of a frog archer, the skull of a ground spirit, the teeth of an orc, the wings of a blue swallowtail butterfly, and even the fur of a silverback ape?"

Lily didn't know what to say.

The materials on the workbench include almost all the monsters in the shallow layer, and there are also many elite monsters, such as the silverback ape.

However, all these monsters turned into materials and lay on the workbench.

If you don’t have enough strength, you won’t be able to get so much material.

What made Lily even more shocked was that Merlin explored the maze alone.

In other words, Merlin killed so many monsters and obtained so much material with his own strength.

This strength is even not inferior to that of a LV2 adventurer.

At this time, Lily also recalled the terrifying strength that Merlin had displayed in the maze.

No, it should be said that strange prop.

The power of that item was so great that it could kill Kanu and the other two LV1 adventurers in an instant.

That terrifying power is in no way inferior to that of a high-quality magic sword.

No... maybe even more.

Plus that strange prop called deodorizing incense.

"Master Merlin, what a strange adventurer."

Lily couldn't help but mutter under her breath.

At this time, Merlin in front of the workbench had already started making props.

"Refine."

【Pharmacy】

[Effect]: Enhances strength, improves endurance and speed, and restores magicka.

[Refining…]

【Successfully Refined】

[Potion (Unnamed)]: An all-purpose potion that increases strength, endurance, speed, and magic power simultaneously. The effect lasts for three minutes.

"Three minutes? But if used at a critical moment, it can also turn the tide of the battle."

"Then call it the Almighty Potion."

Merlin shook the golden potion bottle in his hand and placed it beside the table.

At this time, Lily took a curious look at the golden potion and asked.

"Master Merlin, what does this potion do?"

"A potion that increases strength, speed, stamina, and magicka for a short period of time."

"Well, I named it the Almighty Potion."

Merlin answered casually and continued to make the next prop.

【Refine】

Batarang

[Effect]: Increases sharpness, power, and paralysis effect.

[Refining…]

【Successfully Refined】

[Batarang]: Power 80, made from monster blood, has the effect of temporarily paralyzing the enemy's body (lasts for a quarter of an hour)

"We already have the batarang, so the next thing is to refine the maneuvering device."

"Once we get the magic circle, we can just go through the enchantment process and it will be done."

Lily, who was sitting on the bed beside her, went from shock at first to numbness, and finally to relief.

"Phew... Sorry, Master Merlin, Lily is a little sleepy. I'm going to bed first."

Lily rubbed her eyes, lay down on the bed and fell asleep immediately.

Too many things happened today, and many of them completely shattered her worldview.

Especially since her master Merlin is so mysterious and powerful.

Although he seemed a bit cold when we first met, he is actually a gentle person.

After all, even someone as incompetent and useless as her can save people.

Ah, tomorrow will definitely be a beautiful day.

With anticipation, Lily soon fell asleep.

Merlin, who was working on the workbench nearby, refined seven or eight props before lying down on the bed to sleep.

In a daze, he always felt that the feel of the pillow this time was a little different from before, a little harder.

However, the size is just right, and it feels like a small pillow when held in your arms.

So Merlin quickly fell asleep.

……

Tonight is the banquet of the gods.

In the past, Hestia would not attend such banquets.

But things are different now. There is one more mouth to feed in her family.

She can't always be the one being fed. Occasionally, she needs to show the majesty of God.

Tonight, she was determined to get a bunch of delicious food to reward Merlin.

Of course, besides this, she has another purpose.

While Hestia ate her delicious food, she looked at the gods coming and going, searching for the familiar red figure.

However, even after she had eaten and drunk her fill, she still didn't see that person.

"Could it be that Hephaestus didn't come to participate?"

Hestia couldn't help but grumble, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes.

Just as she was about to leave, a graceful figure came up to her.

That slender figure and perfect appearance immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding gods.

Similarly, Hestia immediately saw the goddess in front of her.

"Freya?"

"Ah, Hestia, long time no see."

"I heard that you finally have a clan member?"

Freya smiled slightly and looked at Hestia with an unusual light in her eyes.

That’s right, the one who appeared here was none other than the goddess of beauty Freya, the most powerful deity of Orario’s clan.

"Hmm... nympho, you're not targeting my Merlin, are you?"

"Let me tell you, that's absolutely impossible..."

Hestia looked at Freya with a wary expression.

"No, just congratulations."

Freya smiled, said nothing more, turned around and left.

Looking at her back, Hestia was confused and had no idea why Freya came to her.

Could it be that he really just wanted to congratulate her?

Chapter 27: The Stagnant Loki Family

Loki family.

In the hall.

An oppressive atmosphere hung over the hall.

The people of the Loki Group had just experienced the failure of the expedition and were now holding a review meeting.

"I'm so disappointed in you. The 52nd floor is the one we've already explored."

"However, on this floor, we lost half of our food and supplies, and some of our team members were even injured, forcing us to retreat."

"Do you know the reason for this failure?"

Finn stood in the middle of the hall, his little face full of seriousness, his gaze fixed on the cadres and members of the Rocky Group present.

Everyone who looked at him lowered their heads in shame.

"Yes, I know."

At this time, an Amazon girl sitting on the sofa raised her hand.

"Tiona, well, you say."

Finn glanced at her and gave her a slight nod for her to speak.

"It was because Tione, who was in charge of the food, was careless that we lost the food. Then, because we were hungry, we couldn't exert our original strength, so we failed."

After Diona finished speaking, Tione, who was sitting next to her, surprisingly did not refute her.

In the past, at this time, she would have loudly objected and expressed her different opinion.

But this time, she couldn't do it.
