A super great writer in the second dimension

　After confirming that Lily's employer had left, Sanzenin Arashi walked over to her.

　Throughout the entire process, Lily Luca watched silently with no change in expression. Upon closer inspection, several lumps were visible on her face, clearly the result of frequent beatings.

　call……

　Sanzenin Arashi sighed inwardly. No wonder this little girl's personality was somewhat twisted. Few people who grew up being treated violently from a young age would be mentally normal.

　If you have to blame someone, blame the world!

　"Adventurer, what are you going to do to Lily?" Lily Luca observed Sanzenin Arashi's expression.

　Based on her experience, this person who always maintained a gentle smile was undoubtedly a member of a special group of people.

　In the world, such people are generally called "lolicon" (or "lolicon").

　They were a terrible group of people who would do horrific things to girls like Lily.

　Sanzenin Arashi looked at the small supporter. The reason he sent the employer away was for nothing other than the materials scattered all over the ground.

　In dungeons, the drop rate for materials can be taken into account.

　Magic crystals drop from every monster, so this thing is much more valuable than magic crystals.

　The materials on the tenth floor are the most valuable among the upper floors!

　Then Sanzenin Arashi pointed to the ravaged land in the distance and said, "Go and collect these materials, then come with me."

　Lily hesitated for a moment.

　At that moment, several dark figures emerged from the walls of the dungeon, and these figures transformed into orcs and crawled out.

　Clearly, while Sanzenin Arashi could easily deal with these beastmen, Lily could be crushed with just one hand.

　Seeing this, Sanzenin Arashi sighed, "You stay behind me."

　Lily paused, her expression quite strange, then nodded.

　When Lily saw the adventurer easily split the tall orc in two, she couldn't help but gasp.

　What a strength!

　Therefore, she put away those little thoughts in her heart.

　After the last orc was killed, Lily couldn't help but ask, "Adventurer, may I ask your name?"

　"Garen."

　"Why would Lord Garen do this even though he knows Lily is a liar?"

　Sanzenin Arashi shook his head. "In my hometown, there are many other swindlers like you, but you can't say they're really bad."

　"Is that right?"

　Sanzenin Arashi thought for a moment, "What do you think those children are trying to achieve by lying?"

　“This…” Lily Luca pondered for a moment, then shook her head, “Lily doesn’t know…”

　"now it's right!"

　"Eh?"

　"What I mean is, in a certain environment, when this is the only option you have left to survive, then lying is perfectly legitimate."

　"..." Lily Luca was silent for a while, then bent down and began to collect the items.

　The little girl was very skilled. She threw the bone fragments into the largest storage compartment, then folded some fur materials and put them into the interlayer. She also kept all the magic crystals dropped by the monsters in her hand, and finally handed them to Sanzenin Arashi.

　Sanzenin Arashi pointed to her pocket. "It's full. Consider this your reward. Let's go back."

　He was telling the truth. In fact, when making money is easier than picking it up, these things become worthless.

　Lily shook her head, "Lily doesn't want this..."

　Sanzenin Arashi looked at her, "Because someone will take it away later, so you don't want it?"

　——!!!!!!

　A barely perceptible look of shock crossed Lily Luca's face.

　She even thought that this Mr. Galen possessed mind-reading abilities.

　"Come with me first."

　"Understood, Lord Garen."

　As the two walked back, Sanzenin Arashi, feeling bored, blurted out, "In my hometown, there's a group of little devils who make a living by begging and such. I forgot to mention something."

　He paused, then continued, "Most of these kids are kept as pets. They exist in towns and villages all over the world. They hand over the money they beg for to adults, and if the amount is not enough, they will be beaten."

　Sanzenin Arashi keenly noticed that Miss Lily Luca's fists were clenched. Even her eyes were glistening with tears.

　..

21. Exchanging gold for other things and scamming people!

　Lily and Arashi Sanzenin went to the Adventurers' Guild to settle their earnings.

　Just as Sanzenin Arashi handed over the large bag of magic stones, Eina Zul happened to be sitting in the gold exchange seat.

　Magic Stones are purchased by the Adventurers' Guild, which completely monopolizes the adventurers' output, making it an enormous money-sucking behemoth.

　When Aina saw the bag of magic stones, she couldn't help but gasp. Hundreds of magic stones of near-medium quality—which team had been grinding in the dungeon for seven or eight days?

　As she thought this, put the gold coins into her bag, and looked up to hand them over, she happened to see Sanzenin Arashi staring at her.

　"Are you ready?"

　"Uh... alright." Aina paused, then couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, Mr. Garen, have you joined the team?"

　Hearing this slightly abrupt question, Sanzenin Arashi frowned slightly, but still said, "No, Miss Eina, what does this have to do with you?"

　"But the amount of this magic stone..."

　“So that’s what it is.” Sanzenin Arashi had no intention of hiding his skills, so he said directly, “Of course I fought it myself, on the tenth floor. Speaking of which, there were quite a few people watching today.”

　Aina's gaze behind her glasses trembled, her eyes widening in surprise. "Wh-what?!"

　This Mr. Garen registered as an adventurer with her this afternoon!

　In just a few hours, minus the two-plus hours spent traveling to and from the dungeon... the time spent fighting monsters was only about an hour and a half at most, but the amount of magic stones handed in was as many as several hundred!

　Moreover, they are all produced by large monsters, and their quality is close to that of mid-level good goods!

　After defeating hundreds of large monsters in an hour and a half, Aina felt like the other party was just teasing her.

　Because this is just a level 1 newbie adventurer. To achieve this, there must be at least three or four experienced melee adventurers, at least level 3, pulling the monsters, and then a level 5 fairy mage casting a large magic attack.

　After all, it takes more than an hour just to spawn a few hundred monsters in a dungeon!

　"The Adventurers' Guild is responsible for the personal safety of adventurers," Aina said enthusiastically. "If Mr. Garen has any questions, we can offer our assistance."

　Sanzenin Arashi nodded slightly: "I want a map of the middle level."

　He didn't want to stay on the tenth floor playing single-player games anymore; those monsters that could be killed in one hit were really not worth fighting.

　Up to the tenth floor, because there are so many people coming and going, you can just ask for directions even without a map. However, starting from the tenth floor, the dungeon suddenly becomes a maze, and it's easy to get lost without a map.

　Even if Sanzenin Arashi were incredibly strong, she couldn't possibly smash through the dungeon walls with her bare hands and advance straight ahead. In this situation, a map becomes essential, but fortunately, the Adventurers' Guild sells them.

　To put it simply... the more adventurers earn, the more the guild earns...

　"What?!" Aina thought she had misheard.

　A level 1 adventurer wants to go to the middle level? Are you sure you're not kidding me?

　Sanzenin Arashi had no choice but to repeat himself, "Please give me a map of the middle level, the cost will be deducted directly from the gold exchange."

　He even used the word "please" because this consultant was such a kind person.

　In this dark society, such people are like rare animals!

　“Well… Mr. Garen, please come back at LV2. The Adventurers’ Guild will not sell the mid-level map to LV1 adventurers,” Aina said. “You only registered today. In principle, adventurers who have been registered for less than half a month are absolutely not allowed to enter the mid-level.”

　There was something she hadn't said yet—because it was practically premeditated murder.

　"Huh?!" Lily suddenly exclaimed.

　She looked at Sanzenin Arashi in disbelief. A Level 1 adventurer—it seemed this advisor had just said that Mr. Garen was a Level 1 adventurer?!

　Not only was his employer during the day a Level 2, but he was also beaten so badly by this Level 1 adventurer that he was completely powerless to fight back.

　Sanzenin Arashi frowned. "Is this really such a strange thing? Grace is just a blessing attached to a human being. What if that person is already very strong?"

　"Gulp..." X2

　Aina and Lily both couldn't help but swallow.

　Adventurers with innate strength of LV2 or higher.

　As an advisor to the Adventurers' Guild, Aina considered herself quite knowledgeable, but at this moment she asked with a strange expression, "Ancient times...?"

　Sanzenin Arashi nodded. "That should be it."

　Aina gasped.

　There was nothing that could be done about it, because the ancient warriors' reputation was simply too illustrious.

　Before the gods descended to earth, Gilgamesh, the only king who once reigned over the land, was an ancient warrior.

　And now, in the land of the God of War, there is Hercules, who is very famous and is also an ancient warrior.

　Siegfried, the dragon-slaying hero... the list goes on. Almost any ancient warrior has enough to etch their name into history, and their story is an epic in itself.

　Sanzenin Arashi didn't know any of this because it wasn't mentioned in the original work.

　After learning that Sanzenin Arashi was an ancient warrior, Eina brought over a map, saying, "May you have good luck in your battles. The map is worth 500 gold."

　Sanzenin Arashi nodded, put the map away, and held out her hand to Lily, "Give it to me."

　In the end, Lily's magic stones were exchanged for 12000 gold.

　After the two left the Adventurers' Guild, Sanzenin Arashi's next words sent chills down Lily's spine.

　"From now on, I can take you to the dungeon every day, and then you can give all this money to them."

　Although the content of the statement was very friendly, Lily Luca, who had been communicating with special people for many years, detected a hint of playfulness in it.

　It's as if this person is planning something truly terrifying...

　This matter brings him a sense of pleasure.

　“Why…” Lily asked through gritted teeth.

　Sanzenin Arashi smiled and said, "Cast a long line to catch a big fish."

　At this moment, he was holding a letter of authorization, signed by the Loki Familia.

　If someone familiar with Sanzenin Arashi saw this expression, they would probably immediately realize that this guy was about to trick someone again.

　..

22. Reasons for increased strength

　If you're a person like Aurora, you'll definitely have heard a lot about this matter.

　Loki's Familia has offered a huge bounty of 10000000G for the capture of a thief.

　However, this thief was no ordinary thief; according to Loki himself, he was a thief who could use magic.

　Less than one-twentieth of the adventurers originally possessed magic, and these people were the backbone of Aurora. It's hard to imagine that someone like them would steal...

　For a time, the entrance to the underground city and the Tower of Babylon were deserted, while the streets, which were usually quiet, were bustling with activity.

　Sanzenin Arashi returned to her clan and, upon opening the door, found Hestia still asleep.

　This isn't right...

　Even if Hestia could sleep a lot, she couldn't possibly sleep for that long, could she?

　To be honest, she's slept for almost a whole day, more than twenty hours!

　I still need her to update my ability stats.

　But at that moment, suddenly, Sanzenin Arashi felt a jolt in her heart.
