After receiving the permission, Ai Si's eyes lit up. She didn't care that she was unarmed and walked directly in front of Lie Yan and said:

"Liehyan, I will fight you next. I will suppress my abilities and fight you bare-handed."

"Aisi..."

Lieyan glanced outside the field, and then saw Livilia nodded slowly.

Since the parents have agreed, why would he refuse? Come on!

Chapter 13: Brilliant Light

"Well, I lost."

In the training ground, Lieyan fell on his back and was easily knocked to the ground by Aisi who had entered the state.

"Yeah, but the flames are also very strong."

The cold girl nodded, then glanced as if she remembered something and added.

"It's not even close."

Lieyan shook his head, feeling the stinging pain all around him, took a deep breath, and lifted himself off the ground.

Just like the previous fight with Lefiya, the battle with Ais also ended quickly - ending with Lieyan's complete defeat.

After the battle with Ai Si, he finally understood how terrifying it was for an adventurer to level up, or to improve his character.

Ai Si, who suppressed her physical ability to LV 2, easily broke down all his resistance. She could keenly grasp every flaw in his movements and take the opportunity to attack him, but he could hardly see Ai Si's movements clearly. He was like a stupid bear and was fooled around.

Fortunately, although his movements were a bit clumsy, he was really able to withstand the beatings. At the last moment, he used an unexpected shield thrust to slightly touch Ais, which was considered to have saved a little face.

However, Lieyan did not forget that this result was achieved when Ai Si was unarmed. If Ai Si was equipped with a sword and treated this battle like the way she trained Bell in the original book, he would probably be knocked down in just a few moves.

With a slight sigh, Lieyan put away his shield and axe.

The disastrous defeat in this competition did not hurt Lieyan's heart. Although it was a bit embarrassing to be knocked down with bare hands by a girl who was almost a generation younger than him, it also made Lieyan realize the gap between himself and the real high-level adventurers.

The main thing is the gap between human battles.

Unlike Ais, Lieyan himself has no experience in fighting humans.

Monster Hunter is a profession that hunts monsters. The knowledge and combat skills learned are used to fight monsters, not to fight people. Hunters must not use weapons against their compatriots. Even if it involves a war at the national level, hunters are not allowed to participate. This is the iron rule that Lieyan was instilled with when he first received hunter training.

On the other hand, although Ais had not grown up during the rampant period of the Dark Factions in Orario, she had already reached the level 2 level of strength at that time, and must have come into contact with the existence of the Dark Factions. There were also frictions between the Loki Familia and the Freya Familia, and they would fight when they met in the dungeon. In addition, there were many humanoid monsters in the dungeon, so she had plenty of experience in fighting against humans.

This caused a gap between the two at the beginning of the battle.

"There is still a lot to learn." Lieyan felt emotional.

"Ms. Aisi is great! Miss Aisi is amazing! Miss Aisi is so cute!" Lefiya also ran over at this time. Just as Livilia expected, after Aisi defeated the Flame Demon King and helped her get revenge, her depression, self-doubt and autistic tendencies all disappeared without a trace.

"Lefiya..." Ais looked at the Yamabuki-colored elf circling around her, and a trace of helplessness appeared on her delicate doll face. Then, as if she had thought of something, she stretched out her hand, covered the elf's hair, and gently rubbed it.

Two blushes appeared on the elf's face, and a puff of steam rose from its head. After feeling Ai Si's movements, the elf became dizzy.

Miss Aisi actually touched my head! !

Ahhh, no regrets in this life!!

Sure enough, the method of using flames to calm onions is very effective.

Looking at the Yamabuki-style elf with its eyes closed and its slender neck raised, if it had a tail behind it, it would definitely be shaking from side to side, Aisi's eyes flashed with understanding.

Learned a trick.

"Don't be discouraged even if you're defeated. Aisi is a genius, and she's also a speed type. It's normal for a vanguard like us to have trouble dealing with her. As long as you work hard to train, the problems of slow speed and slow reaction will get smaller as your equipment improves. If you have any questions in the future, you can come to me and I'll teach you."

Grace patted Lieyan's arm and looked at this strong young man with great satisfaction. The more he looked at him, the more he liked him. Is this what it feels like to have a successor? Loki really made a good move.

"Okay." Lieyan was also very happy. There were two different learning efficiencies: having someone to guide him and exploring on his own. Moreover, the elders in the clan taught him more than just knowledge. He could also learn the experiences and lessons from adventures imperceptibly. Some people in the weak clan would drool at such conditions.

"It seems that I have missed something very exciting."

At this moment, a slightly smiling voice sounded at the entrance of the training ground. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw the village chief Puxian in armor and their beloved captain.

"Captain!"

Tione's eyes lit up, and she ran to the side of the Dwarf Warrior, "Have you finished your discussion with the village chief?"

"Ah, it's over," Finn nodded and smiled broadly.

He was very satisfied with the negotiation, both in terms of the process and the results.

Gathering everyone present, Finn began to announce the agreement he had reached with Samantabhadra.

"From today on, the Loki Familia will establish an offensive and defensive alliance with Yanhuo Village. When Yanhuo Village or the Loki Familia encounters trouble, the other party must do its best to help. Lieyan, you are the only link between Yanhuo Village and the Loki Familia. This task can only be entrusted to you. You need to travel between Lieyan and the Loki Familia once a day to ensure smooth communication. Can you do it?"

"I can't ask for it."

Lieyan also showed a relieved and happy smile. This was exactly the scene he wanted to see.

Then, Village Chief Puxian continued Finn's topic and said:

"I will set up a branch of the Loki clan in Yanhuo Village, and Huo Yun will be responsible for contacting you. You can select some reliable personnel from your clan to be stationed in Yanhuo Village to carry out routine collection, reconnaissance, and cleaning tasks.

Feycats, Kinsects, and Fanghounds will also be distributed to senior Loki family members and the personnel of the Monster Hunter Division accordingly. However, since Feycats and Fanghounds need to be trained, the number of Kinsects cannot meet the current number of you, so I will give priority to the personnel of the Monster Hunter Division in this part of the distribution. But don't worry, I will arrange for Blade Spine to complete the training as soon as possible to achieve this project."

"Village Chief Puxian also promised me that we can take away some minerals and monster materials for research. In return, we have to provide some materials for the dungeon. In short, it's a mutually beneficial thing."

Finn smiled, his eyes full of smiles, and Tionie, who was standing beside him, held her hands in front of her chest, her eyes full of love.

She also likes this kind of team leader!

"We also want to thank you, and Lieyan, you did a great job."

Puxian looked at Lieyan, who stood up straight, with a hint of encouragement and relief in his eyes, just like an old father who saw his child grow up and could share the responsibilities of the family. Then he raised his arm and knocked his fist solemnly on the armor on his chest:

"The blaze is immense."

"The blaze is immense."

Lieyan replied equally solemnly.

Chapter 14: This Hunter is Very Strong but Overly Cautious

“Ahhh, I’m too embarrassed to see anyone!!”

Suddenly, a mournful cry was heard from the residence of Loki's family. In the room, Lefiya buried her head deeply under the pillow, her whole body filled with a tragic feeling of being ashamed to face the elders of Jiangdong.

"Lefiya... so noisy..."

The voice of the family member came from under Lefiya's bed, with a feeling of full of distress.

"Feel sorry……"

"It's okay. Anyway, what on earth have you been through? Why did you suddenly become like this?"

"What happened... Does being defeated three times in a row count?"

When she thought of the disastrous defeats she had experienced not long ago, Lefiya had the urge to hold a handkerchief in her mouth and shed tears. Although she was indeed very weak, what was wrong with that person? He jumped over directly, and then the weapon in his hand changed back and forth, and finally even launched an attack that was almost magical! His combat power was a bit too exaggerated!

But fortunately, Miss Aisi helped me get revenge.

Thinking of how Lieyan, who had defeated her before, was knocked to the ground by Ai Si with bare hands in just a few moves, and how Miss Ai Si even touched her head intimately at the end, Lefiya held her cheeks with both hands, and two blushes appeared on her delicate face. Her head also became dizzy, as if she had drunk alcohol.

Hey hey hey, Miss Aisi~~~

"Oh."

"...Aren't you surprised?" The Lily Elf, who was immersed in the fantasy of Miss Ais just now, reacted instantly and expressed dissatisfaction with the calmness of her fellow clan members.

"There's nothing to be surprised about. After all, you, Lefiya, are a magic idiot. Everyone in the clan knows this very well. It's not surprising that you were defeated." The clan companion yawned and said in a tone that said, "Don't make a fuss."

"Magic idiot..."

After being mocked by this vicious word, Lefiya immediately fell into a state of petrification.

"whee."

The family member under the bed seemed to have expected this. After a chuckle, he changed the subject, "Speaking of which, what do you think of the new member who just joined the family, Lefiya?"

What do you think? He beat me three times in a row! What can I think? Miss Ai Si played well, played brilliantly, played with great fire?

Lefiya rolled her eyes: "My opinion is that I have no opinion."

"Lefiya is so cunning. But speaking of which, the new guy will go to the dungeon today. I don't know how he will perform. Will he be scared by the monsters? Hehe."

"Although that muscular bastard has just joined the clan, the strength he had cultivated before joining the clan is genuine. I think it's not him we need to worry about, but the monsters in the dungeon," Lefiya tucked herself a little deeper under the pillow, her voice coming out a little dull, "and the high-level adventurers in the clan will follow, so there's no need to worry."

"It seems so. Everyone comes here this way."

"Forget it, let's not talk about that guy anymore. Take a rest, Alfie. Didn't you just come back from the dungeon not long ago?"

"whee."

……

"Today is the first time that Lieyan enters the dungeon. I wonder if he can adapt to this unprecedented adventure."

In the captain's office, Finn, sitting at the desk, looked at the scene outside the window, his legs gently swinging back and forth, feeling beautiful and comfortable.

It is now the second day that all the senior officials and combatants of the Loki clan have gone to Yanhuo Village to establish an offensive and defensive alliance. According to yesterday's agreement, the Loki clan has secretly sent several people including Grace to Yanhuo Village earlier today.

However, although an alliance has been established, considering the special nature of the Flame Village, Finn decided not to announce it directly to everyone in the clan for the time being, which coincides with Loki's idea.

Maybe he wants to keep it hidden for the time being, prepare to develop quietly, and then surprise everyone, or maybe he still has some concerns in his heart.

In short, they both acted very cautiously in response to this unprecedented change in the past thousands of years.

Regarding this, the Yanhuo Village also holds an indifferent attitude. After all, the Loki clan is a powerful ally that fell from the sky for them, and they basically have no requirements for this ally. If they can help, that's the best. If they can't, it's the same as before, it doesn't matter.

"Of course he can. Judging from Lieyan's actions, he is quite used to taking risks." Livilia said.

"An adventurer's adventure is different from a hunter's adventure. Even if you are used to a hunter's adventure, you will still be flustered when you first encounter an adventurer's adventure." Finn laughed. "Hunters and prey usually fight alone, but in a dungeon adventure, there are rarely opportunities to fight alone. Enemies almost always come in groups. I hope this adventure will make Lieyan realize this."

"Of course they will, but with Raul here, even if there is any danger in the upper level, it won't be worth mentioning." Livilia said.

"So I told Raul not to take action until the critical moment. This will cause a new chapter in the heroic tale of world change. What kind of story it will be written in depends on Lieyan himself." The leader of the dwarfs curled his lips, like a child who had successfully played a prank.

"You..." Livilia looked at the leader who seemed to be rejuvenated and couldn't help shaking her head, but she didn't say anything in the end.

After all, this little human in front of her was working hard for his family and his own race, restraining himself and thinking all the time, as if there was an invisible beast chasing him from behind. In all the years they had worked together, she had rarely seen him relax, so it was nice to relax like this occasionally.

However, is this a heroic story that will cause a dramatic change in the world?
