"Excuse me, Riveria."
"come in."
Facing the cold air attack that he was already familiar with, Lieyan entered Livilia's room without changing his expression.
Now he was basically familiar with the daily commuting between the two worlds. He would go down to the dungeon early in the morning, kill the minotaurs on the fifteenth floor with his younger brothers and sisters, return before dinner, and then go to Livilia to learn the common and sacred characters.
After a few days of instruction, Lieyan has also initially mastered the common characters and is now in the consolidation stage.
"Very good, Lieyan, you have basically mastered the reading and writing of common characters. The only thing you lack is the understanding of some of the abbreviated words about this world. But that's not a problem. If you continue to keep the habit of reading, you will soon be able to master the rest of the abbreviated words. If you don't keep reading, the common characters you have learned so far are enough for you to interpret the upgrade information yourself."
After checking Lieyan's homework, Livilia closed the test book in her hand with satisfaction, her eyebrows curved into a beautiful shape, and she clapped softly.
"Congratulations, your study of common characters ends here."
To be honest, the teaching efficiency in the past few days really shocked this royal elf.
In just six days, two hours a day, which added up to just over ten hours of study time, Lieyan was able to roughly master the common characters. This level of learning efficiency seemed to be unable to be fully explained by talent. If Livilia had not known the skills of this new partner from Loki, she would even have suspected whether he had any skills to speed up his learning.
"Of course I have to maintain my reading habit. Livilia, if you don't mind, I may often borrow books from you after I finish studying the sacred text. After all, I promised Aisi that I would translate two history books from my world for her."
Lieyan laughed, but just as he finished his words, he felt a sudden heaviness on his back. The already very obvious coldness seemed to have weight, pressing on his shoulders, as if a resentful female ghost suddenly appeared and lay on his back.
In response to this, Lieyan could only smile helplessly.
He had a reason why he wanted to borrow a book from Livilia.
In fact, Lieyan originally didn't want to trouble Livilia so much, because there was also a library among Loki's family, and there were quite a lot of books.
But, after Lieyan visited the library, he decided not to go there again.
As for the reason...
The quality of the books in Livilia is higher, and Livilia herself can also answer his questions when he encounters difficulties. This is one reason.
Secondly, as we all know,
The Loki clan is an exploratory clan. The most common members of the clan are adventurers. If you think about the profession of adventurers, you will know how many of them love to read.
but!
Because a certain special being loved reading very much, there was a special troop among Loki's family who followed suit and fell in love with reading, and the library was generally used by this troop.
I think everyone should understand what I mean by this.
The one who loves reading is the royal elf, Livilia, in front of Lieyan, and those who imitate her behavior are the elf wizard team formed by Loki himself, who worship the elven royal family from the bottom of their hearts.
Can you imagine how horrifying it is that you can find three crazy essays written by members of the Elf Mage Team about the Royal Elves in a random book from the library?
You know, although the library of Loki's family is not big, it still has thousands of books.
To be honest, Lieyan didn't dare to stay in the library for too long, for fear that if he stayed for another second, someone would emerge from the shadows and stab him because of his dark history being exposed.
"No problem, as long as I'm here, you can borrow it."
Looking at Lieyan's expression, Livilia glanced thoughtfully at the wall behind him. She was very smart and had already guessed the answer.
What on earth did those girls do?
Livilia bit her teeth and snorted softly. Then, as if frightened, a chaotic sound came from the other side of the wall, as if the wall of elves who were stacked up against the wall and holding their breath and listening attentively collapsed due to some irresistible force.
Lieyan kept a tense face, trying not to look behind him where the voice came from. Seeing that Lieyan seemed to have known the truth of the matter, Livilia, whose face was a little bit tense, coughed lightly.
"Well, actually I have something else to tell you today. This is something Finn asked me to do."
"what's up?"
Lieyan was slightly stunned. If Finn had something to do, shouldn't he come directly to him? Why did he ask Livilia to tell him?
"Perhaps it's because he thinks that as your teacher, I can calm you down these two days." Livilia smiled faintly.
Lieyan became more and more curious about what was going on.
"The clan is going on an expedition, and Finn means that you should stay in the base during this expedition," Livilia said slowly, looking at Lieyan's expression with her emerald eyes, but at the same time she picked up a pen and wrote some words on the parchment.
[During the expedition, Finn needs to transfer Grace back. During the time when the clan is returning from the expedition, he wants you to focus on Yanhuo Village first.]
"..."
Listening to Livilia's words and looking at the words she wrote on the parchment, Lieyan was silent for a moment. After a moment, he took a deep breath.
"I see. Anything else?"
Livilia was stunned, "Don't you want to ask why?"
"I understand Finn's thoughts. He is thinking about my safety." Lieyan scratched his head helplessly, raised his voice slightly, and took another quill to write.
"I'm just a new member of the clan. I'm going to an upper-class place for adventure. My strength is level 1. I'm also a pharmacist who can make excellent potions. If Finn insists on taking me on an expedition, I'm afraid my fellow clan members will be furious."
"Well, almost."
Livilia answered with a blink of her eyes, looking at the conversation written on the parchment by Lieyan with tacit understanding, and her admiration for Lieyan grew stronger.
[I understand what Finn means. Although I can now defeat the Minotaur and have the strength equivalent to that of a LV 3 to LV 4 adventurer, what I have experienced so far is the middle layer after all. Your expedition will go to a deeper layer than the lower layer after the middle layer. For someone like me who is not familiar with the environment, rushing into the deeper layer may lead to various dangers.
Even if Finn succeeded in bringing me on the expedition, the news that a Familiar from the Deep Expedition was taking a Level 1 adventurer on an expedition would spread throughout Orario within two days. Not to mention the criticism the Familiar would face at that time, the most serious problem would be that it might attract the investigation of the Guild and the attention of powerful Families such as Freya, which would be devastating to Finn's current plan. 】
Having written this, Lieyan paused for a moment, and sighed as if he had something in his heart.
"It would be great if I could upgrade to LV.2 now."
Chapter 27: Trap Cave, One Against Twenty!
"As long as you understand."
Livilia pursed her lips. Although she was very happy that Lieyan could understand Finn's thoughts like this, at the same time, a faint sense of guilt surged in her heart.
This guilt made her wonder if Finn and herself had placed too much responsibility on Lieyan's shoulders.
But Lieyan didn't seem to care at all. After he was sure that he couldn't participate in the expedition, he thought of a way to make some contributions in other places.
"Regarding the clan expedition, do you need any medicine? I have some stock that you can take out. There are various categories."
"……if you can."
Hearing this, Livilia was silent for a moment. She wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, she couldn't bear to reject Lieyan's kindness, so she finally gave in.
"Okay, then I'll give the potion to Grace and ask him to bring it over." Lieyan smiled carefreely, put down the quill in his hand, and then, as if he remembered something, asked:
"By the way, Livilia, during your previous expedition, did you ever see a boy with white hair and red eyes who looked like a rabbit?"
"A boy with white hair and red eyes who looks like a rabbit? I've never seen him before. Why are you asking? And since he was encountered during an expedition, then the boy must be an adventurer who signed a contract with the gods and became their followers. If that's the case, then we can't go to the guild to get information. The guild's adventurer information is kept secret."
Livilia gave the answer. As for why Lieyan suddenly asked this, she had no intention of asking further questions. She also knew that Lieyan had the ability to predict dreams, so perhaps he saw something in his dream.
"I haven't seen it. Hmm, then please ask Livilia to tell Aisi a message for me. Please tell her, 'If the rabbit runs away, don't hesitate to chase it.'"
Lieyan seemed to have thought of something, a hint of warmth appeared on his body, and he said with a smile.
Is this... the precognitive dream Loki mentioned before?
Livilia blinked, then agreed immediately.
She didn't even ask why it was said, as if everything was natural. Of course, this was also related to her wide knowledge. In her impression, the so-called precognitive dreams were almost all so mysterious. Lieyan's dream was even a mild symptom, at least it gave clear instructions.
Unlike other beings with precognitive dreams, whose predictions are all mysterious and use various personifications to represent events, in the end almost no one can successfully interpret these so-called prophecies.
After explaining the matter related to a certain rabbit, Lieyan thought for a moment, and then asked:
"By the way, when does the expedition start?"
"In three days."
"Then we still have plenty of time. In that case, I will go back tomorrow before going down to the dungeon and tell Grace the news. I will ask him to prepare and bring him back the day after tomorrow along with the potions I promised him. Is that okay?"
Calculating the time silently in his mind, Lieyan nodded slightly and gave a rough plan.
"No problem, there's still plenty of time, you don't have to be so anxious." Livilia smiled gently, picking up the hair on her temples and tucking it behind her ears.
"You can't think like that." Lieyan shook his head seriously: "If you think you have enough time and don't rush to do things, there will always be a situation where things pile up and you don't remember to solve them until the whole day, so it is better to have a plan to finish things."
Just like a pen, a night, a miracle holiday homework...
"That's up to you. Finn and I both trust you."
"Well, it's getting late, and I've finished studying for today, so I'll go back first. By the way, Livilia, do we still need to continue studying for the next two days?"
"Of course, Finn will be organizing the expedition, so I don't need to deal with too many things. Just do it as it is now, even the day before the expedition."
"it is good."
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
Two days had passed since Livilia informed the clan of the upcoming expedition. After heading to the Monster Hunter World and transferring the prepared Grace and a large number of various potions, as well as the five pairs of bred Kinsects that Puxian had specially sent when he knew that the allied clan was about to set out, Lieyan entered the dungeon again.
But unlike before, this time, he entered the dungeon alone.
In the past few days, he has been to the fifteenth floor nearly twenty times. For the regular route that goes all the way to the fifteenth floor, he can say that he will not go wrong even with his eyes closed.
He moved forward quickly all the way, and after reaching the thirteenth floor, he used the vertical hole between the floors to jump directly down and go to the next floor. Lieyan, who had the skill of Feather Fall, was not afraid of the depth of the vertical hole at all, and only regarded it as a shortcut to the next level of the dungeon.
After landing twice, Lieyan saw the goal of this trip at a glance.
A monster with a human body and a bull's head, more than two meters tall, taller than Lieyan.
The Minotaur.
At this moment, the huge monsters with a copper-red color all over their bodies were holding giant stone axes in both hands, looking at the humans falling from the hole above their heads, with a hint of a hideous smile on their lips.
Sometimes the vertical holes in the dungeon are connected to traps, which are called trap caves. In such caves, humans who fall from the vertical holes will be immediately surrounded and attacked by monsters that have been waiting in the caves for a long time.
Just like it is now.
There were as many as twenty Minotaur, which could easily wipe out a well-equipped level 2 adventurer team. They were crowded in this cave.
"One, two, three... That's a lot of them. I'm lucky."
But the bulls did not appreciate the adventurer's terrified look at seeing such a powerful enemy of such magnitude. Some even said that the other party was not afraid at all, but was like a mouse that fell into a sugar jar.
The Minotaur could not understand, but he was furious.
You shouldn't be like this, you should be scared!
"Okay, I won't waste any more time talking nonsense. I'm sure you guys are getting impatient."
Lieyan took off his hood and untied his cloak, revealing a fully armed body beneath the cloak. His body was no less muscular than the monster in front of him. The huge coffin bag was rolled up by the cloak and thrown aside, while Lieyan himself was equipped with a sword and shield.
