If Aisi sneaked out to fight monsters in that world...
Just imagining the possible terrible consequences made Livilia feel dizzy, and the look she gave to Ais became even more stern.
"Mother Livilia's gaze is so scary—"
"Who are you saying is the mother?"
thump—
Reflexively, Livilia knocked Loki's head with the staff in her hand.
Loki fell to the ground and was almost sent back to heaven.
No one cared about the Lord's antics. Everyone was digesting the shocking news they had received today. At this moment, Finn was also thinking of what Lieyan had just said in his ear.
"I remember, Lieyan, you just said that there was a dragon to fight, and you also said that you were on a mission, so that means..."
"Yes."
Lieyan gave an affirmative answer.
"The mission is to capture a rock dragon. I wonder if anyone is interested."
Chapter 51: Finalize the plan!
"Yes, yes, of course I'm interested!!"
Diona suddenly raised her slender arms, looking very happy, but the next moment her face became extremely heavy, and she cried out in grief.
"But my weapon, Urga, it's gone!! I can't fight anymore! Uuuuuuu."
"Captain..."
Tiona's elder sister Tione also had a slightly changed expression. Like Tiona, she also lost all her weapons in the expedition that just ended. The double swords she mainly used and her special throwing knives were all completely damaged.
"It just happened to be at this time..."
Finn sighed with a wry smile, revealing a headache expression.
The timing of the news from Lieyan was perfect. At present, the weapons and equipment of the high-end combat forces of the entire clan have been damaged to varying degrees.
The two wizards in the best condition were Lefiya and Livilia.
As powerful long-range firepower points, the two were always in a protected area, so their weapons and equipment were not damaged and they could immediately engage in battle.
"I can fight." Ai Si said decisively.
Among all the warriors present, she was the only one whose equipment was in good condition.
The weapon she uses, the "Sword of Despair", has the [Indestructible] attribute, and the equipment on her body is also an enhanced version transformed by Monster Hunter technology.
It has extremely high durability, which is why it has been able to withstand a series of battles and survive to the end.
Although it is true... However, in reality, even if it has the [Indestructible] attribute, the sword itself will become dull due to continuous battles, and essentially still needs maintenance and polishing to restore its sharpness.
But Aisi obviously didn't care about that anymore. What Lieyan had just said had completely captured her mind. She couldn't wait to fight with the monster called Rock Dragon to gain experience for growth.
"Is there something wrong with everyone's weapons?"
Lieyan was a little confused, but then he thought about it and it seemed to be true.
In the expedition war that opened the prologue of the story, everyone's weapons were indeed broken or damaged. It seems that Ai Si even owed tens of millions of Faris in foreign debt because she damaged the spare weapons provided by the god Gubernu during the weapon maintenance...
Is it during this time period?
"Yes." Finn's expression became even more helpless. "Including me, most of the senior members' weapons have been damaged. Now the only four people in the clan who can be considered effective fighters are Ais, Lefiya, Livilia, and Bert."
"Four people won't work. One has to be eliminated." Lieyan shook his head. "The Hunter Guild has an established tradition that when hunting dragons, you don't form a five-person team. The upper limit of a team is four people. Above that, there are team hunts with multiple teams at a time and military hunts with more people."
"Then let's rule out Lefiya for now." Finn said decisively, and then looked at the elf who was biting her lips lightly, with a hint of apology in his eyes: "Sorry, Lefiya."
"It's okay, Captain." Lefiya shook her head.
Although she felt somewhat unwilling when she heard the decision, she knew very well that now was not the time to act stubbornly, and she could only blame herself for not being strong enough.
"But for an operation like this, it's really unacceptable to have only a few people participate in the battle while the others do nothing. Lieyan, can the rest of us watch the battle? Although we don't have weapons, if we just talk about our skills, we can definitely ensure our own safety."
Finn turned his gaze towards Lieyan, a questioning look in his lake blue eyes.
"Of course." Lieyan agreed decisively, and then smiled: "I originally thought that this time only Loki could enjoy the beautiful hot springs, but I didn't expect that everyone just happened to return from the battle. The healing effect of Jieyun Hot Springs can speed up everyone's recovery from fatigue.
If anything, this is a good thing that kills several birds with one stone.”
“I hope it can be better.”
Finn smacked his lips with some regret. A rock dragon, just by hearing the name, you could tell that its ability was definitely not low. It was probably not inferior to the lower levels, or even the high-level dragon monsters in the deeper levels.
Moreover, this battle was the first time for Loki's family to fight against monsters from another world.
It was a pity for Finn in many ways that he could only watch the game but not play in person.
"It's okay. Now I'm a top hunter. I can take on more missions than before. The Rock Dragon is just the beginning. There will always be opportunities." Lieyan tapped his chest and comforted him.
Now Lieyan has a feeling that he has endless tasks to complete, and this feeling will probably deepen after a while.
Is he afraid that Loki's family will have no tasks to do?
joke,
He was just afraid that by then everyone in Loki's family would not have the time to complete the mission!
"Yeah, there's always a chance."
Seeing Lieyan's determined expression, Finn also smiled and quickly calmed down.
Yes, as long as the flame, the bridge connecting the two worlds, still exists, the Loki clan who are willing to abide by the rules will sooner or later get all kinds of opportunities. Now is just the beginning.
"Let's do this, does anyone have any objection to this matter?"
"No~~~"
"I listen to the captain."
"Lefiya, would you like me to comfort your lost heart~~"
"unnecessary!"
"Although it was a little hasty, it's the best I could do. You are worthy of me, Finn."
"..."
"In that case, Lieyan, do you have anything else to say?"
Finn made the decision. The Amazon sisters responded first, followed by Loki. Then the Yamabuki-iro fairy flatly rejected the Lord's dirty hands. Riveria closed one eye and looked at Ais with anticipation on her face with the other eye. She sighed slightly in her heart. Finally, Finn made a summary.
"I have basically said everything I wanted to say. There aren't many things to do anyway. If possible, I suggest that you go to the Jieyun Hot Springs to soak first, and then study the rock dragon problem tomorrow. After returning from the expedition, it is time to relieve your fatigue. Am I right?"
Lieyan shook his head.
The reason he came back this time was just to take Loki to Jieyun Village for a trip and help him update his ability values. It just so happened that the expedition team returned, so he suddenly came up with the idea of inviting everyone to capture the rock dragon together. Although the main theme is to do whatever he wants, he can do whatever he wants.
But there are only these few things in it, it's just that one person taking a hot spring bath has turned into a group of people taking a hot spring bath, one person catching a rock dragon has turned into a group of people watching, and a team of people catching a rock dragon.
The rock dragon is in a very stable state now. After all, rock dragons are a very lazy species of dragon. Some rock dragons will not move even if someone is mining on their backs. If no one messes with this rock dragon near Jieyun Village, it will be stable for a long time with geothermal energy as energy supplement.
"Then..."
Finn looked up, seeing the other people's expressions showing obvious excitement, and he couldn't help but smiled and shook his head.
"Then listen to Lieyan. Have a good rest today and prepare for the battle tomorrow."
"Great!!"
Chapter 52: Hot spring! spa!
spa.
Speaking of hot springs, they are probably a sacred and beautiful existence.
The tender skin that was steamed pink by the warm mist, the comfortable breath after the heat of the spring water penetrated into the body, the tender chest that rose and fell slightly with the rippling water surface, the fine sweat that flowed along the slender neck curve to the collarbone, and the slender thighs that were looming under the shaking water surface...
The scenery is beautiful and boundless.
"So why are you tying me up here? I'm a woman too, and I'm invited to the hot springs too! Put me down, I want to join you in the hot springs too!"
Listening to the sound of water coming from behind, Loki, who was tied tightly with ropes against the maple tree, had tears of blood in his eyes and struggled desperately.
“No way. If I put you down, Loki, you’ll definitely pounce on me like a wild animal. This hot spring is so comfortable… ah, I feel like I’m going to fall asleep—”
Diona was swimming in the wide hot spring pool, occasionally diving under the warm water like a fish. She rested her arms on the stones at the edge of the pool and slapped the water with her feet, making a lazy sound.
"Considering your usual behavior, Loki, and the fact that Livilia and Angie are here today, we unanimously decided that it would be better to control you first."
Compared to her cheerful sister, the elder sister Tione appears to be much calmer on the surface - of course, only on the surface.
Because at this moment her eyes were fixed on the wooden wall in front of her.
——Finn was bathing just across the wall.
The Amazon was considering whether to climb over the wall to get a full view of Finn's body, and it would be even better if he could take a step further.
The Amazon sisters' words of disgust pierced Loki's heart like arrows, causing him to cry out in pain.
"Wow, Wow, Livilia, Ais, you two should talk some sense!!"
"This is all due to your usual words and actions. I also feel that it would be better for you not to spoil the mood at a time like this, Loki."
The elf royal wrapped her emerald hair with a towel, revealing her slender neck. She closed her eyes and savored the heat from the hot spring penetrating into her body. The warm breath flowed out from her pink and thin lips, and tiny drops of sweat dripped along the perfect curve of her cheek into the hollow of her collarbone, accumulating into two pools of clear springs, filling the air with a faint fragrance.
"Come to think of it, it seems like we haven't taken a bath together for a long time, Livilia."
Ais ignored Loki completely and looked in the direction of Livilia, sniffing the special scent in the air like a puppy.
“Yes, because everyone is very enthusiastic.”
Livilia opened her eyes and smiled bitterly. Because she was a member of the elven royal family, the elves in her clan always held her in high esteem. When she took a bath, they would always have guards by her side to prevent any possibility of desecrating the elven royal family. In that situation, bathing with others was simply a luxury.
Obviously, she used to take a bath with little Ai Si a few years ago...
"Lefiya? What's wrong with you?"
Sitting on the pile of stones and washing the black cat's tail, An Qi looked at her colleague in a strange way.
"Gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp."
