　……

　Roy pulled up his personal interface, and all his stats increased by a total of 1412. Unlike when he defeated Goliath, he defeated the LV.3 adventurer alone.

　With Goliath at level 4 and Hyacinthus at level 3 as his stepping stones, he had already accomplished his great feat.

　[Great achievement accomplished, upgrade now?]

　Roy clicked "No" to close the upgrade interface.

　Defeating Hyacinthus gave him a taste of breaking through the limits of his abilities. With each level up, he became invincible among his peers and had the ability to challenge opponents of higher levels.

　His target wasn't the lowly adventurers in Orario, but the few at the top.

　Finn the Brave, Grace the Hero, Ais Wallenstein the Swordswoman, Otto the Mighty...

　Each time these people upgrade, their stats will almost always be S999. To catch up with them, or even defeat them, one must have higher stats.

　After all, those people have racial talents.

　Roy knew that as an ordinary human, he was inherently inferior to his opponent. Without training his most basic abilities to the limit, everything he said was nonsense.

　Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

　Having fully recovered from the fatigue of the battle with Hyacinthus, Roy left the Court of Stars alone.

　For Roy, it might not be a bad thing that Ryu, the henchman, was summoned by the goddess Astrea, as he happened to have something that made it inconvenient for him to bring Ryu along.

　Celtia's treasure map!

　The treasure chest obtained from defeating Goliath contained information about digging up the graves of the Elven royal family. This matter must not be known to the elves, otherwise all the elves in the world will fight him to the death, resulting in a total social death.

　Roy pulled out the treasure map, which was a finely crafted parchment scroll that felt nice to the touch.

　Upon opening it, it resembled a location map.

　A point of light appeared at his location, while another point of light was undoubtedly the location of the treasure.

　Roy didn't go directly there. In fact, he took out the treasure map several times and found that the location of the treasure on it kept moving, sometimes to the far west, sometimes at sea...

　This kind of movement is something that ordinary tools cannot achieve.

　Roy's eyes grew more serious; he could already sense the strangeness of this operation.

　But not going is impossible!

　The treasure map includes a one-time teleportation feature.

　[Should we teleport?]

　The moment Roy clicked "Yes," ripples appeared around them, and space seemed to distort.

　His body gradually disappeared.

　When Roy came to his senses, everything in the room had disappeared. A gentle breeze caressed his face, and before him lay a vast, continuous mountain range, with lush green forests covering the landscape, and the roars of wild beasts echoing from the depths.

　"here it is?"

　Roy took out the treasure map and his eyes widened in surprise. He was already more than 3,000 kilometers southeast of Orario. As expected of teleportation, it was terrifying!

　And this place is where the treasure is hidden.

　Roy surveyed his surroundings and, following the map's directions, headed towards his destination.

　Roar!

　Suddenly, a lizard the size of an adult rushed out of the dense grass, its tongue like a long whip, and stabbed fiercely at Roy's forehead.

　Roy remained unfazed, drew the half-broken Murakami sword, and with a flash of light, sliced ​​off the opponent's tongue.

　Bang!

　The sword thrust forward, piercing the lizard's head, and its entire body instantly turned to dust.

　All monsters come from the dungeon, but when they come to the surface, they follow their reproductive instincts and give birth to offspring, in which case a portion of the power of their magic stones is taken away.

　These monsters have been reproducing for thousands of years, and their power has been waning.

　The monsters on the surface are not comparable to those in the dungeons; they are usually a level lower.

　Roy's top-tier LV.2 adventurer stats would be unstoppable on the ground.

　The monsters' magic stones were so small that Roy didn't even want to retrieve them. After killing monsters and traversing hundreds of meters of winding paths, Roy arrived at his destination.

　Even without looking at a map, one can clearly sense that this is the location of the hidden treasure.

　It was a circular cave with a radius of about three meters. The interior was dark and deep, as cold and desolate as an abyss, and the surrounding silence was frightening.

　Roy stared at the cave, his gaze completely captivated, as if his very soul were being devoured.

　"A mere LV.2 brat dares to come to a place like this? Do you want to die?" A pleasant voice suddenly rang out.

　Roy was startled, goosebumps rose all over his body, and his mind became clear. He suddenly turned his head and saw an old woman dressed in gray sitting on a blue stone under a big tree thirty meters to the left of the cave.

　Her silver hair was adorned with hairpins and coiled on her head, giving her an aged appearance. Yet, her figure and face were flawless, possessing a natural elegance that exuded a noble aura.

　The silver-haired goddess stared calmly at Roy with her blood-red eyes, a faint smile playing on her lips.

　The other party was completely integrated with nature, and even with Roy's keen senses, he couldn't detect it.

　"God!"

　Roy's lips moved slightly as he sensed the powerful aura emanating from the other party—divine might!

　To put it simply, it's the aura of a deity; one glance is enough to tell that this is a god!

Chapter 71 The Goddess with Silver Hair and Bloodshot Eyes

　A goddess with silver hair and blood-red eyes!

　The most obvious difference between the gods is their temperament. Goddess Astraea is gentle and charming, but she is far inferior to the goddess in front of her in terms of nobility and aloofness.

　Although the goddess was sitting on a blue stone, Roy felt as if she were sitting on a noble throne, like an empress ruling the world, exuding a heavy aura of power, high in the clouds, looking down on everything in the mortal world with cold and arrogant eyes.

　With a simple gesture, one can determine the fate of countless living beings in the world.

　Of course, this was just Roy's hallucination.

　Upon closer inspection, the silver-haired goddess, whose divine power was sealed, was sitting alone on a rock.

　"Thank you for the reminder, Your Majesty!"

　Roy said gratefully, "That cave seems to have a strange magic that can bewitch people. If the other party hadn't made a sound, I would have lost myself."

　The silver-haired goddess waved her hand dismissively, "It's nothing, just a spur-of-the-moment thing."

　"May I ask the name of this deity?" Roy asked. He had never seen this deity before, and even information from his previous life could not provide any clues.

　"What's there to say about a loser?" The silver-haired goddess curled her lip.

　The silver-haired goddess called herself a "loser," but Roy saw no trace of frustration on her face; her words and actions were filled with arrogance and strong self-confidence.

　At this moment, the silver-haired goddess's gaze fell on Roy's treasure map. "Let me see that map."

　"This……"

　Roy hesitated for a moment. He recalled the story of a certain unlucky guy who painstakingly honed his "mystical" abilities to the extreme, stepped into the realm of gods, forged the Philosopher's Stone that granted immortality, and excitedly presented it to his own god for admiration.

　As a result, the playful god smashed the Philosopher's Stone and burst into laughter, completely unaware that he had destroyed someone's hard work of countless years.

　If this goddess had destroyed the treasure map, he probably would have wanted to kill her on the spot.

　Seeing Roy hesitate, the silver-haired goddess scoffed, "Fine, don't give it to me then. I'm not even interested in watching."

　"My Lord, please."

　After much hesitation, Roy handed over the map, but he also took precautions. He entered within five meters of the other party. The parchment was not as fragile as a crystal, and it was not easy to destroy. At his speed, he could stop the other party's actions at this distance.

　Seeing Roy acting as if he were a thief, the silver-haired goddess sighed inwardly, "Kids these days are so hard to fool. It's all because of some idiots who keep doing stupid things."

　The silver-haired goddess took the treasure map, examined it carefully, and a hint of confusion appeared on her face. "So there's such a thing? No wonder you found this place."

　"What, do you want to go in?"

　The silver-haired goddess gestured towards the eerie cave.

　Roy keenly noticed a hint of amusement on the other person's face, no different from those gods who enjoyed having fun. "I want to go in and find something."

　The silver-haired goddess returned the treasure map to Roy and chuckled, "Sure, go ahead."

　"My Lord, what's inside?"

　"Weren't they treating me like a thief?"

　"This time, that time!"

　"Hahahaha!"

　The silver-haired goddess was amused by Roy's shamelessness, but she still didn't reveal any information. "I can't say, I can't say, it won't be fun if I do."

　Roy's smile deepened when he saw the silver-haired goddess, as if she wanted to see if he had the guts to go in.

　The map's built-in teleportation is a one-way ticket.

　If he gets nothing and runs back to Orario in a miserable state, Roy will be so frustrated he'll want to vomit blood.

　We must move forward, but we cannot do so blindly.

　Roy leaned closer, massaging her stiff shoulders, and said with a grin, "Goddess, look how hard I've come all this way, crossing mountains and rivers, enduring countless hardships along the way. Can you really bear to watch me suffer in this eerie cave?"

　As he spoke, Roy squeezed out two tears, crying so loudly that it shook heaven and earth, and moved all who heard and saw it to tears, in an attempt to touch the other party.

　They rambled on and on for a good ten minutes.

　The silver-haired goddess said calmly, "How could you be so heartless!"

　Roy's face stiffened. "I've given you a back massage for nothing." His face grew even more sorrowful. There was no skill involved, just pure emotion.

　The gods can detect lies, and the more exaggerated Roy's behavior, the funnier the goddess found it.

　The silver-haired goddess laughed and said, "You little rascal, you just want to get information out of me, don't you? Pretend to be serious, put in more effort."

　Upon hearing this, Roy quickly increased his strength by three points.

　Perhaps annoyed by Roy's persistent pestering, the silver-haired goddess leisurely said while enjoying her massage, "You can go in, but remember, you can only follow the route on this map, and then return the way you came. No matter what you see or hear along the way, you must not enter other areas, and do not trust anyone."

　Roy asked cautiously, "What will happen if we enter other areas?"

　“You can give it a try.” The silver-haired goddess laughed like a silver bell, her laughter radiant.

　Roy shook his head like a rattle-drum.

　The silver-haired goddess picked up the bamboo basket beside her and lifted the tablecloth on it. "I still have a piece of cake here that I haven't finished. You can exchange it for your boots or arm guards."

　Roy glanced at the golden-brown cake, coated with honey; just looking at it made him imagine the satisfaction of taking a bite.

　But no matter how you look at it, it's just an ordinary cake...

　Roy glanced at his boots and arm guards, speechless. He thought, "You think you can trade a piece of honey cake for my epic gear? You might as well just rob someone."

　The other party had a sharp eye, immediately recognizing the two most valuable pieces of equipment on his person.

　The silver-haired goddess asked, "Are you dissatisfied?"

　Roy chuckled dryly, offering no reply.
