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

　The banquet fell silent.

　Fear lingers deep in the eyes of many.

　Even among them, many died at the hands of that monster. Its extraordinary speed made it almost invisible to the naked eye, killing them instantly the moment they showed their faces.

　"Who cares, as long as those women are dead," another member said drunkenly.

　"That's right, hahahaha!"

　In the atmosphere created by the drinks, the others had no interest in investigating the never-before-seen dungeon monster and quickly put the matter out of their minds.

　Only the orange-haired cat-man hiding in the corner, Jarrow, had an astonishingly fanatical look in his eyes. Compared to the fear of the others, he was obsessed with the monster's unparalleled power, which could kill even a LV.4 monster instantly!

　Just then, a member ran back and said, "This is terrible! The bitches of the Astrea Familia aren't all dead yet. Gale has put up a bounty of 80 million Fali in the guild, and there are a lot of people looking for us outside."

　The church was deathly silent.

Chapter 15 New Copy

　Roy packed his things overnight and successfully moved into the Astrea Familia's headquarters—the Star Garden.

　He needed to be careful before dealing with the Rudraksha clan; he didn't want to be stabbed in the sleep or wake up to find himself surrounded by dozens of people.

　Although the Astrea Familia had fallen on hard times, its foundation remained, and Roy clearly sensed an increase in the number of urban military police around the Star Garden.

　That is, members of the Ganesha clan.

　Despite having an unreliable main god, no one dares to underestimate this clan. In terms of numbers, the Ganesha Familia is the largest in Orario. Moreover, they also have eleven LV.5 adventurers with an S-rank faction, making them comparable to the city's largest factions, the Loki Familia and the Freya Familia.

　Roy saw Shakti Farma, the leader of the Ganesha Familia, known as "The Staff of Ganesha" and a level 5, talking to Ryu at the entrance. The two had formed a deep friendship during the Great Conflict.

　The peak attracts false supporters, while twilight witnesses true friendships. This saying is particularly apt for Ryu at this moment.

　With the protection of the Ganesha clan, even if the Rudra clan had lived long enough, they wouldn't dare to cause trouble in the Star Court.

　Roy slept soundly and replenished the stamina he had used up in the dungeon.

　Seven or eight hours later, Roy woke up slowly, walked out of his room, and found it empty. His entire clan had been wiped out, and he felt embarrassed to choose their rooms, so he found a guest room that no one had stayed in.

　After washing up, Roy went to the spacious courtyard, where the blonde elf girl was already waiting.

　The elven girl said unhappily, "Too slow!"

　Roy really wanted to give her a thumbs up. You're so great, so aloof, you're LV4, but what about me?

　Receiving divine grace and leveling up means a comprehensive improvement in physical attributes. It's not just a simple enhancement, but an evolution. High-level adventurers can be considered a completely different species. They only need three or four hours of sleep, which is equivalent to seven or eight hours for ordinary people.

　Roy said, "What's the rush? Haste makes waste. You should know that better than me."

　The elven girl's face was tense, and she wished she could rush out immediately and kill all the dogs of the dark faction in the world.

　"Let's go!"

　Roy clicked on the panel that only he could see.

　While waiting for public opinion to ferment, Roy needs to accumulate his own strength. Resolving the issue with the Rudrakami clan is not just about repaying a favor, but also about putting pressure on himself.

　Roy chose yesterday's Giants instance.

　Copy: Attack on Titan

　Difficulty: LV.2~LV.5

　Synopsis: The Colossal Titan and the Armored Titan have appeared, and Wall Maria is about to be breached.

　Main task: For each giant killed, you will be rewarded with 30 to 100 attribute points based on the giant's physical abilities. A special reward will be triggered when you kill 30 giants!

　Bonus mission: Defeat the Colossal Titan, Armored Titan, and Female Titan, and you will be rewarded with 2000 attribute points, 1500 attribute points, and 1200 attribute points respectively!

　……

　Paradis Island, the Wall of Mary.

　With a flash of light, Roy and Liu appeared in a secluded alley after a spatial teleportation.

　Roy peeked out and saw a peaceful and serene scene, with people coming and going on the street, a picture of paradise. The people were unaware of what was about to happen.

　"Hide your pointy ears. Although I like them, the people here can't accept them."

　"I know!"

　Ryu covered her head with her hood, pretending not to hear the rest of his sentence. She was starting to get used to the boy's nonsense.

　Roy then swaggered out; both DanMachi and Paradis Island were medieval in style, and his clothes and appearance were not particularly striking.

　Roy found an open restaurant. He figured he needed to eat first, so he decided to get breakfast sorted out first.

　Roy glanced at the other people's food and got a general idea of ​​what it was like. He called out, "Boss, six loaves of bread, two bowls of carrot soup, and meat sauce."

　Seeing that it was a stranger, the shop owner wasn't too enthusiastic. He nodded and went back to the kitchen to greet them.

　Where is the monster?

　Liu sat down next to Roy, took in the surrounding situation, and frowned.

　"Don't rush, I'll be right there," Roy said irritably, sensing that the girl was even more anxious than he was.

　The system's intelligence is usually accurate; the two wall-breaking duo have likely already appeared outside the wall.

　"Let me tell you their information first. This time, the monster is a giant..." Roy told the elven girl detailed information about the Immaculate Giant.

　The latter was stunned, opening his mouth as if to say, "In short, this is a special monster that is huge in size but slow in movement, with its weak point being the back of its neck?"

　Roy nodded, not surprised by Ryu's reaction. The Pure Titans of this world can reach a height of 15 meters, and the shortest is 3 meters.

　An example will make it clear.

　Goliath, the floor master of the seventeenth floor of the dungeon, is only 7 meters tall, which is only considered average among the Pure Giants.

　Of course, in terms of true strength, Goliath is a genuine LV.4. Even if he stood still, dozens of Pure Titans might not be able to break through his defenses.

　In theory, Ryu is not afraid of the Pure Titans at all, but Roy will not say things like "ordinary Titans pose no threat to you" to influence the other party's judgment.

　“We need to be especially careful with Abnormal Titans and Intelligent Titans…” Roy said, explaining the characteristics of the two to Ryu. Abnormal Titans have special abilities, such as exceptionally high jumps and incredible speeds. Because they look no different from ordinary Titans, they can easily be misjudged.

　Giants over ten meters tall, strange alien species, intelligent giants transformed from humans...

　Even as a second-level adventurer, Ryu had never seen anything like this before. It took her a while to recover before she exclaimed, "Being with you always makes me feel incredible. If it were Lady Riveria, she would be very happy."

　Riveria Lyos Alfre, one of the three leaders of the Loki Familia, is an elven royal who left the forest to see the unknown world and aspires to be known throughout the world.

　If the other party knew that such a strange and mysterious secret realm existed, they would probably go to any lengths to get the way to enter it from Roy.

　Roy smiled. "Level 4 expert, I'm counting on you. Kill as many monsters as possible, but don't worry about the Colossal Titan and the Armored Titan."

　The Marleyan trio is too difficult to defeat.

　Even though he was extremely envious of the high attribute point rewards on the panel, Roy didn't have much of an interest in it.

　The Colossal Titan, that thing is comparable to a nuclear bomb. Roy estimated that the dungeon's upper limit was rated LV.5, which is largely related to this thing. The Armored Titan's combat power is about LV.4, and it is not something that Ryu can deal with alone.

　A short while later, the young man who worked at the shop brought breakfast and placed it on the table.

　Roy picked up a piece of bread, dipped it in meat sauce, and wolfed it down with a bite of bread and a sip of soup, mumbling, "Don't be shy, I'm not the kind of heartless boss who wants the horse to run but doesn't feed it."

　The elven girl opposite hesitated for a moment before picking up the bread and taking small bites, her demeanor exuding an elven elegance that was ingrained in her very being.

Chapter 16 Life is tough, Roy performs for a living.

　The two quickly devoured all the food on the table. Roy felt only half full. After receiving the favor, his appetite increased, and his food expenses gradually rose.

　Roy placed his hands on the table. "Miss Ryu, I've just discovered something very serious."

　Seeing Roy so serious, the elf girl thought something was wrong, and her face tightened.

　Roy said, "The currency used in this realm is not fari, nor is fari used in circulation."

　The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. The elven girl's delicate lips twitched. She understood what Roy meant; they were probably going to dine and dash. She glared at him fiercely, "You were so confident just now if you don't have any money?"

　Thinking of Roy's manner of ordering food like a regular customer, Ryu's fingers trembled with anger. Luckily, he wasn't from the Astrea Familia, otherwise all the reputation they had worked so hard to build would have been ruined.

　"Cough! Cough!"

　Roy coughed to ease the awkwardness, then glanced outside. The Colossal Titan hadn't appeared yet, so his plan to skip out on the bill in the chaos was going to fail.

　When the shop owner saw that they had finished eating but hadn't paid and left, he seemed to realize something and turned to instruct the shop's employees.

　Roy smiled wryly, realizing he could only use his cleverness to kill some time.

　While the others weren't looking, Roy picked up a toothpick, broke it in half, and then used the burrs at the broken end to piece the two pieces back together, making it look like a single, complete toothpick.

　Then, Roy stood up and greeted the dozen or so customers in the store, "Everyone, we are actually a traveling performance team. During our free time after dinner, please allow me to perform two small magic tricks to liven things up."

　Upon hearing that there was more to come, the customers in the store immediately perked up, and some even started to jeer.

　"Look closely, everyone. This is a toothpick. I'm going to break it with my mind." Roy took out the toothpick and waved it around in front of everyone.

　Roy had cleaned up the burrs at the break point, so no one could tell unless they handled it.

　"drink!"

　Roy held one end of the toothpick in one hand and waved the other around it, pretending to be serious and muttering to himself. In reality, all his movements and sounds were meant to distract others.

　Feeling that it was about time, he flicked the toothpick off without leaving a trace, and the toothpick broke instantly.

　Apart from the sharp-eyed Ryu, no one else noticed Roy's subtle actions.

　"it is good!"

　The customers had never seen such a feat before, and they all applauded, filling the store with thunderous applause in an instant.

　Roy pressed his hands down to quiet everyone, then took out two fares, placed them in his palms, and made fists. "Now I have a coin in each of my hands."

　Everyone swallowed hard, staring intently at Roy's palm. They hadn't taken it seriously before, but Roy's previous move had stunned them.

　This time, they were determined to find out something.

　"Next, the coin in my left hand will disappear. Everyone watch carefully and don't blink."

　As he spoke, Roy placed the coin on the table with his left hand, opened his palm to show everyone that his palm was empty, then picked up the coin and made a fist.

　It looks like the right hand also needs to be verified by everyone.

　With hands slightly clenched together, the right fist is released, palms facing down, and a coin falls onto the table.

　Roy picked up the coin with his right hand, then gestured for everyone to look at his left hand, slowly opening it, which immediately caused an uproar in the store.

　His left hand was empty, and everyone watched as the coin he was holding vanished.

　Roy shook his right fist and laughed, "Gentlemen, can you guess where those two coins are?"

　The crisp sound of coins clashing rang out.

　Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Roy opened his right hand, revealing two coins lying quietly in his palm, prompting another gasp of surprise from the shop.

　"Thank you everyone. Today was just a simple performance. I hope you will continue to support me in the future. If you have money, please support me financially; if you don't have money, please support me by showing your presence!" Roy said with a smile.

　Many customers found it amazing and kept asking Roy when the official performance would be, promising that they would definitely go and support him.

　Three or four customers left behind a dozen or so copper coins.

　Roy responded to each of them with a smile.

　Liu snorted coldly. She was the only one who saw through Roy's trick. It was a very simple method. At first, Roy seemed to be trying to prove to everyone that the two coins were in his hands.

　The coin was picked up with the left hand not in the palm, but pinched between the middle and ring fingers.

　When verifying the coin in the right hand for customers, the left hand is not opened when the two hands are brought together, but two fingers are loosened, causing the coin to fall onto the table.

　His right hand was outstretched, palm facing down, and the coin in his right hand never left his palm; rather, Roy had somehow stuck it there.

　The second coin was actually placed in the left hand, while the right hand smoothly tucked it away.

　Now both coins are in your right hand.

　What surprised Ryu was the boy's social skills; without using language and body language to distract others, the trick wouldn't have worked.

　Looking at Roy, surrounded by the crowd, he was all smiles and talking non-stop, as if he were going to live here permanently and was greeting his neighbors.

　They're supposed to leave after defeating the monster...

　This person's words are utterly deceitful, the innocent elf girl began to realize.

　Roy collected the tips from the customers and presented them to the shop owner, who repeatedly declined, as he had thoroughly enjoyed the performance. However, Roy insisted on handing it to him, since the money from Paradis Island was of no use to him anyway.
