In this chaotic world, it all started when they found an elf girl

　Astraea looked at her familiar with a complicated expression, for this mortal had outmaneuvered both the supreme goddess of beauty and the most cunning goddess of clowns.

　She was so shocked that she couldn't utter a word for a long time.

　too crazy!

　Every step is like walking a tightrope!

　But Roy succeeded. His greatest advantage was that he was in the dark while the enemy was in the open, possessing a wealth of information about Orario, and Freya was unaware that he knew this. Freya's only chance to turn the tide might be to unleash her charm to the fullest and control all of Orario.

　Roy was certain the other party wouldn't do that.

　Being exposed while playing a game, and you're ready to flip the table? The other person isn't that petty! Freya wouldn't lose her mind before meeting her lover.

　There is a difference between friendship and love.

　In a quiet room.

　Roy and the goddess Astraea locked eyes.

　Astraea certainly wouldn't blame Roy; Freya had started it all. After a moment, she stretched out her delicate, white hand, "Where's the orchid perfume you promised me?"

　Roy glared at him. Wasn't that just something to say to Loki? Are you really going to do it?

　"Humph!"

　Astraea snorted coldly. She was so scared that she couldn't sleep well for two days. She had to get some compensation.

　Roy obediently handed over the orchid perfume, taking the opportunity to gain a small advantage from the goddess's soft, boneless hands, thus completing his plan to scheme against Freya. The perfume held no further meaning for him.

　Orchid perfume can only temporarily boost mental strength, and it doesn't discriminate between friend and foe...

　Did Loki tell him a few of Astraea's little secrets? He'd just sobered up and his head was still spinning; he couldn't remember. What a huge loss! Roy's heart was bleeding.

　After being subtly groped by Roy, Goddess Astraea glared at him, a blush rising to her pretty face. Finally, she sighed, "Rest a bit more. I'll go get you some hangover soup."

　After saying that, Astraea left the room.

　Looking at the goddess's stunning back, Roy smiled and said, "You might make a small profit, but I'll never lose out."

　Roy was now alone in the room. His mind gradually cleared, and his eyes, like two bright pearls, gleamed with a cold, icy light. It was time for his other pawn to make its move.

　Guild Headquarters.

　Having finished her daily work, Eina took out the expedition report submitted by the Astrea Familia, preparing to check it. If there were no abnormalities, she could file it. Eina meticulously examined the submitted report, word by word.

　As time passed, her brow furrowed deeper and deeper. How to put this report...?

　From the moment Roy and his companions entered the dungeon, their route down, the monsters they encountered, the materials they collected… everything was meticulously recorded. However, because there was so much text, so densely packed, it was dizzying to read, while their colleagues simply skimmed through it. After all, it was only an expedition to the 24th floor.

　It's not even deep.

　The upper, middle, and part of the lower layers have been thoroughly explored, making it difficult to discover anything new.

　Therefore, the mid-level expedition reports submitted by various clans were largely the same. Some lazy clans even simply changed the names and clan badges of other clans' expedition reports before submitting them to the guild.

　This is no different from copying a classmate's homework, and nobody has time to care about such things.

　Other guild members lamented that a dozen or so sheets of paper were wasted, and that such reports would be left in the warehouse for centuries to come. But this time, they happened to encounter a bright student from the school district, a meticulous and serious half-elf.

　A wall that has been deliberately damaged.

　Suspected of being captured and trained as enhanced mermaids, false information about the floor master's expedition...

　This information was hidden within long passages of text, making it difficult for others to discover, and only Eina noticed it.

　The more she looked, the more alarmed she became. The dangers of the Astrea Familia's expedition far exceeded expectations. A slight misstep could have resulted in the deaths of dozens of high-level adventurers, and all of this could be due to human factors!

　Eina spent several more days traveling to various tribes, including the Ganesha tribe, to conduct investigations and gather evidence.

　There aren't many Familias capable of capturing monsters and raising enhanced species. Eina quickly locked onto her target. Around that time, some adventurers had seen high-ranking adventurers from Freya's Familia appear in the "Water City".

　Among the monsters prepared by the Ganesha Familia for the Monster Festival, one was a merman monster that went berserk. It is said that it was defeated by adventurers on the surface, but no one actually witnessed it...

　Eina eventually reached a complete conclusion.

　The strange occurrences in the dungeon that day were largely related to the Freya Familia. The dangers that the Astrea Familia encountered were even deliberately prepared by the other side!

　No wonder this crucial information was hidden within such lengthy texts; the Freya Familia was far too powerful, far beyond the capabilities of the Astrea Familia. Mr. Roy must have discovered something, but realizing the enemy was invincible, he could only conceal this information within extremely long paragraphs. Eina stroked the words on the expedition report, recalling how upright and courageous Mr. Roy had been when dealing with the remnants of the Rudra Familia, yet now he was forced to succumb to the darkness of the Freya Familia. Every word seemed to reveal Roy's helplessness and resentment.

　Eina's tears kept falling.

　Freya's Familia, that's going too far!

　Eina stormed up to the second floor of the guild headquarters in a fit of anger.

　The staff on the first floor stared in surprise at Eina's retreating figure; the guild was also strictly hierarchical!

　Only high-ranking guild members are allowed to enter the second floor!

　Ordinary employees like them can only stay in the first-floor office area; they need to submit a report to go up to the second floor!

　Eina arrived at Chairman Royman's office and slammed the Astrea Familia's expedition report on the table with a loud "bang," startling Royman so much that his fat jiggled.

　"President, please take a look at this expedition report!" Eina said, suppressing her anger.

　Royman was completely bewildered. "You want me to look? Am I supposed to just look? Who's the chairman here?"

　Considering that Eina was a newcomer and hadn't yet become familiar with the guild's hierarchy, Royman patiently asked, "Eina, what happened?" Eina clearly explained the anomalies in the expedition report and the truth she had uncovered!

　With Eina's evidence and witnesses all present, Royman frowned. Those Freya Familia members were resorting to such tactics. "What do you intend to do?" Eina replied decisively, "The Freya Familia must be punished for this!"

　Reuman lowered his head in thought.

　If it weren't for the internal strife within Freya's Familia, even Loki's Familia wouldn't stand a chance. Otto could have swept aside the three leaders of Loki's Familia, proving that the strongest Familia truly deserves its reputation!

　The guild and Freya's Familia have a more cooperative relationship, and the guild does not dare to force the other party to participate in expedition missions.

　But this time, Freya's Familia destroyed the walls, created enhanced species, concealed information about the floor master's extermination, and fought with the Berserker, destroying the streets... they are in the right and can use this as an excuse to do their thing!

　On Royman's bloated face, two lumps of fat sandwiched two small eyes that gleamed with shrewdness. The exploration of the unknown territories, which had almost come to a standstill due to the destruction of Zeus and Hera's Familia, should be restarted.

　The punishment for Freya's Familia came quickly.

　The destruction of Daedalus Street and the underground city has put adventurers and civilians in danger.

　Explore the sixtieth floor of the dungeon!

Chapter 124 Oscar-winning actor Roy

　Just days after Loki was forced to retreat.

　Roy led Daphne and Cassandra away from the Star Garden and arrived at the guild headquarters.

　As for Miss Ryu, upon hearing that members of a dark faction and their allied merchants would appear on Daedalus Street, she excitedly ran over with her wooden sword.

　Having mastered the power of LV.5, Miss Ryu was unstoppable; Roy didn't think those scum from the Dark Clan could possibly harm her. The three had barely stepped into the guild headquarters when they heard that the Freya Familia was embarking on an expedition to the uncharted dungeons. The discussion in the hall was in full swing. A barely perceptible smile played on Roy's lips. The Freya Familia and the guild hadn't officially broken ties, at least not outwardly; the punishment for the Freya Familia was disguised as an expedition mission.

　Although the sixtieth floor is called the "unknown territory," it's not really. Zeus and Hera's Familia have already explored the dungeon up to the seventy-first floor. But as far as Roy knows, even if it's not a true unknown territory, the sixtieth floor has quite a few good things, enough to make Freya's Familia feel like they're in heaven.

　For at least four or five months, Freya's Familia will not have time to cause him trouble.

　Freya's disguise was exposed, and she was caught and teased by the gods, especially her nemesis, the goddess Ishtar, who has been ecstatic these days and takes every opportunity to ride on Freya's face.

　With Ishtar relentlessly drawing aggro, Roy felt that Freya's anger had been diverted.

　Roy sneered inwardly. This was just a little interest; how dare they scheme against him? Sooner or later, he would wipe out Freya and the entire Freya Familia! An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!

　Upon arriving at the guild counter, Roy saw the brown-haired half-elf guild advisor surrounded by a group of people.

　Although it was nominally disguised as an expedition, the public's eyes were sharp.

　Gods, adventurers, and the people all know that this is punishment for Freya's Familia.

　Adventurers and civilians who had been victimized in the incident involving the enhanced mermaids and on Daedalus Street rushed to the scene, grateful to Eina for standing up for them. Eina's story of storming the second floor of headquarters, confronting Guild Master Royman, and arguing her case became widely known throughout Orario. At this moment, Eina was seen as a champion of justice, refusing to yield to tyranny and darkness!

　Roy frowned. Beneath the glamorous exterior often lurks countless dangers; Eina had been used as a pawn by Guild Master Royman. Now, Freya's Familia's resentment and firepower against the guild would be directed at Eina.

　Sending any random LV.2 member would be enough to stab Aina multiple times in the back, resulting in her being ruled a suicide...

　Of course, he wasn't much better off.

　Knowing that Eina was meticulous and serious in her work, he deliberately mixed various hints into the expedition report.

　However, there are still differences between the two.

　If something really goes wrong, that dead pig Royman will immediately abandon Eina to protect the so-called big picture. How can an ordinary guild employee be compared to the value of Orario's strongest familia?

　Roy will help Eina, since it's not the first time he's clashed with the Freya Familia.

　Upon seeing Roy and his group enter the hall, Eina's emerald eyes lit up. She pushed through the crowd and came to Roy. "Good morning, Mr. Roy!"

　Roy smiled and said, "Good morning."

　After looking around, Eina pulled Roy aside and solemnly said, "Mr. Roy, you must be careful of the Freya Familia from now on." Roy's eyes were clear. "What do you mean?"

　Eina sighed. Mr. Roy was so naive and kind that he didn't even realize he was being schemed against.

　She had to warn them! Based on her guess, the Freya Familia created enhanced monsters specifically to target the Astrea Familia. "What?!"

　When Roy learned the truth from Eina, his face contorted with shock, confusion, bewilderment, disbelief, and a mixture of grief and indignation. He seemed completely unaware of the full story.

　The danger he encountered in the dungeon actually came from the Freya Familia, and the actor portrayed a boy who had just learned of this news perfectly. "Why would the strongest Familia target a weak Familia like us?" Roy feigned anger.

　If anyone else heard these words, they would probably be so angry they'd vomit blood. The Astrea Familia has four members: LV.5+ with top-tier LV.3 and two LV.2 members. Although the Astrea Familia is small in number, its quality is ridiculously high.

　Which "weak clan" has such strength?

　"I don't know, but you must be careful from now on, Mr. Roy. I don't want to see you..."

　Eina said that the goddess Freya was notorious for her promiscuous behavior, and it was very likely that a member of the Astrea Familia had been targeted. She didn't utter the final word, "death."

　Eina bit her thin, rosy lower lip, her eyes reflecting Roy's handsome face.

　Roy sincerely said, "Thank you, Miss Eina. I will be more careful from now on."

　Eina smiled with satisfaction, then, seeing Roy fully armed, she couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Roy, are you going to the dungeon?" "Yes!"

　Roy nodded. He wanted to test Freya's Familia. If Freya still suspected him, she would probably send someone to keep an eye on him, or even take direct action.

　Seeing this, Eina hesitated, a hint of embarrassment appearing on her face.

　Roy asked kindly, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

　“This kind of thing shouldn’t have bothered Mr. Roy…” Eina’s face was conflicted.

　Roy smiled and said, "It's alright. Just like how guilds send advisors to help new adventurers, it's only right for senior adventurers to help new guild members. We should help each other."

　Eina was stunned. This was the first time she had heard such heartwarming words since arriving in Orario. Her eyes welled up with tears. "Mr. Roy, you really are something. You're so sweet-talking. I wonder how many girls will be fooled by your sweet words in the future."

　Roy was speechless. He had never flirted with any girls. At most, he would tease the elfin girl who was on his butt from time to time.

　“Mr. Roy, that girl is the first new adventurer I’ve taken on. Could you please look after her for me?” Eina gestured for Roy to look at a human girl with a restrained expression in the corner of the hall.

　She was about the same age as Eina, around fourteen or fifteen years old, and was wearing the newbie gear provided by the guild.

　"sure."

　Roy agreed, not caring, since today was just a day to kill time and test Freya's Familia.

　"Thank you!" Eina said gratefully. The guild had roughly calculated that the survival rate of new adventurers entering a dungeon for the first time was around 50%. She really didn't want to see the first newcomer she took on die inside. With a high-level adventurer taking care of them, the survival rate would be greatly improved. As an advisor, no matter how much theoretical knowledge she taught the newcomer, she had never been into a dungeon before, and her understanding of monsters was far inferior to Roy's.

Chapter 125 Shocking the Newcomer

　At Eina's call, the human girl standing in the corner ran over, "I am Maris Hector, Lady of the Budding Justice, hello!"

　The human girl's eyes were burning with adoration. Roy's fame was in no way inferior to those adventurers at levels 5 and 6, as he continuously broke historical upgrade records.

　I never expected my advisor to have such connections.

　Roy said, "We'll go to the dungeon with you today, hoping to teach you something."

　Maris nodded emphatically.

　The group left the guild headquarters.

　Roy, Daphne, and Cassandra occasionally taught Maris some basic knowledge, walking very slowly—a deliberate act by Roy. Roy was multitasking, smiling as he chatted with the newcomers while secretly maximizing his perception to search for, track, and monitor those around him. With his abilities, even a LV.5 adventurer might not be able to escape his keen senses.

　With the expedition imminent, Freya's Familia was bustling with activity. Even if someone was monitoring him, it wouldn't be a Level 6 officer; it would be a complete waste of talent. A Level 6 monitoring a Level 3 would be a laughing stock.

　Roy, with three girls, strolled around the city, ostensibly to purchase supplies and equipment.

　It wasn't until noon, after lunch, that they leisurely arrived at Babel Tower Square.

　Now, Roy is completely certain that no one is following him, and he has cleared himself of suspicion with Freya.
