Just when Linie felt a little at a loss, a warm hand reached out from the side.
Angel held Linie's hand, and her obsidian eyes looked at her gently yet powerfully.
"Don't worry, Linie. I'll be watching over you."
"……Um!"
Strong and powerful, strong and powerful!!
Seeing this scene, Lieyan and Grace looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
"Then let's start a journey."
"Journey to another world, ON!!"
Chapter 89: Make your choice!
"What's the matter again? Ouranos."
A voice was heard in the darkness.
This is a stone hall that looks like a temple. No, to be more precise, this is a temple.
The vast dark space beneath the guild headquarters known as the Pantheon is the domain of Uranus, the first god to come to the world. It is also the place where he offers prayers to the dungeon. It is not wrong to call it a temple.
And in the only spot in this dark space, in the bright area illuminated by the ever-burning torch light, there is a huge stone throne, on which sits an old god of gigantic size like a statue.
Uranus turned his face slightly from under the hood and looked in the direction of the sound.
Walking out from the darkness was a slender figure wrapped in black clothes with not a single bit of skin exposed.
It was none other than the man in black who appeared in the unknown area of the dungeon accompanied by the talking lizardman!
The words just now also came from this person.
"Investigate the Hephaestus family, the Gubernu family, the Loki family, and the Fels." The old god's sculpture-like expression did not change at all, and he answered calmly.
"The Hephaestus Familia, the Gubernyu Familia, and the Loki Familia? The two top forging families in the city and one of the two pillars of the city's families... Uranus, what are you going to do?"
The man in black named Firth was full of doubts.
How come all of a sudden, the old god in front of him wanted to investigate these clans that held such an important position in the city?
"Something seems to have happened between them. I can't see clearly. I can only leave it to you."
The old god was silent for a moment, and gave an answer that surprised Fels greatly.
In Fels's impression, the old god in front of him had always been extremely wise, pushing the entire maze city forward with wisdom beyond human intelligence. He was wise and correct, as if nothing in the world could be hidden from those old eyes.
But now such a god says that he can’t see clearly?
Is there something wrong with my ears or is there something wrong with your eyes or brain, Ouranos?
Oh, I forgot, I have no ears.
Fels complained in his heart, but did not object to Lao Shen's mission. After so many years of working with Lao Shen, he had long been accustomed to following orders. In the end, Lao Shen's ideas would usually be proven to be correct, so he didn't need to think too much.
"When will the investigation begin? Oh, about those heretics in the form of rabbits, there are currently 17 of them, all of which have been taken into custody. But we still don't know what caused this abnormal situation. Should we put aside the investigation here for now?"
"The sooner we start investigating, the better. You're doing a great job. As for the cause of the increase in heretics, we now have an answer, so there's no need to investigate. The reason for that is that on the way to the expedition, the sword princess of Loki's family killed a large number of rabbit-shaped monsters."
Following Fels's instructions, the old god quietly closed his eyes, then opened his eyelids and answered the questions one by one.
"Sword Princess" Ais Wallenstein... I didn't expect it to be her... The ability of just one person can cause a large number of heretics to appear. Should I say it's a bit scary? How many rabbit monsters did she kill... And how come she is a member of Loki's family..."
"This is the scope of your investigation."
"I have to pursue the hunters, investigate the three clans, and deal with the heretics. Uranus, you really know how to order people around... Although I can no longer be considered a human being now."
Fels sighed and laughed at himself.
"I have no choice. The guild must always be fair, so you are the only chess piece (private army) I can use. I can only hand it over to you, Fels. But I have a hunch that it doesn't seem to be a bad thing. Maybe... No, it's too early to say anything now. Let's investigate, Fels."
"I understand, Uranus, just follow your divine will."
"Just conduct a minimal investigation, don't alert any of the three major clans, and report any clues you find immediately."
"it is good."
At Uranus's instruction, Fels nodded, then turned and walked into the darkness.
After a long time, the old god sitting on the stone chair slowly exhaled a breath of foul air.
"Let me find out what happened between you two."
The torch beeped and exploded with sparks. The hooded old god raised his eyes and looked towards the darkness above his head. It seemed that his eyes, which could see through everything, reflected the firelight, which was extremely dazzling.
-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------
the other side.
Lieyan, who didn't know that his own family had been targeted by Uranus, brought Grace and the other two to the gathering hall. After reporting briefly to Elder Sui Fengnen, Grace and the other two successfully obtained temporary hunter certificates.
This temporary certificate will expire in a short time, but Lieyan has already asked the three of them to register as hunters with Shuiyun. When the temporary certificate expires, the official hunter certificate should also be issued.
The performance on the temporary certificate will also be inherited to the formal certificate, with a direct and seamless connection.
After solving the problem of proof, Lieyan did not hesitate to take out all the files left for him by Shuiyun. There was a whole stack of more than ten scrolls in total.
"Are these scrolls for the tasks for the next two days?" Angel lay on the table, looking at the scrolls that Lieyan had placed on the table with some curiosity, her tail swaying left to right behind her.
"Not only that, the guild has already handed over a considerable number of tasks to Raul and his team to handle. These are the tasks that the guild feels they may not be able to handle, so they left them to me." Lieyan shook his head in denial, opening the scrolls one after another in his hands and examining the contents of the tasks.
It has already been screened?
Hearing this, Grace's hand that was stroking his beard trembled and he almost pulled out a strand of beard. For the first time, he had a direct impression of the Night Parade of a Hundred Dragons.
The guild's mission scrolls have a special shape. Generally speaking, different colors and shades of scrolls are used as marks according to the target's location and urgency. Each scroll also has a corresponding rating.
The scrolls that Lieyan brought over were of various types and all were rated above five stars.
Lieyan quickly looked at the contents of the scroll.
Except for myself, three other people in my team are novices, so I will first eliminate the missions in the far-away Frozen Islands.
Brush, the four scrolls were rolled up and placed aside.
Then, eliminate the lava cave missions with harsh environments.
Swish, four more scrolls were rolled up.
Next, we will eliminate those with higher risk.
Brush, seven-star and six-star tasks are rolled up,
There were only four open scrolls left on the table, one was for the quest in the flooded forest, which involved hunting water beasts, one was for the quest in the desert, which involved hunting a sand dragon, and the remaining two were for the quests in the abandoned shrine, one was for hunting poisonous birds, and the other was for hunting a female fire dragon.
Then...
Lieyan pushed the four scrolls in front of him to the opposite side.
"The right to choose the mission is left to you. Now, start choosing!"
Chapter 90: The Light of Righteousness
Angel and Linie looked at each other, and then a slightly embarrassed expression appeared on their faces.
They were quite happy that Lieyan gave them the right to choose, but the problem was that they seemed, seemed, probably, not to know the language of this world...
This is a bit embarrassing...
Coincidentally, the two girls turned their attention to the senior dwarf who had been active in the Monster Hunter world.
Boss! Boss, please save me!!
"……Let me do it."
After a moment's silence, facing the pleading gazes of the two younger generations, the dwarf warrior took over the responsibility without hesitation.
When he was stationed here before, he had some understanding of the local characters. In addition, the guild took charge of many things, and the tasks given to hunters only involved a small part of combat-related content, which was very concise and clear. So he believed that it should be no problem for him to accept a commission.
In fact, this is exactly the case.
Deciphering the words on the scroll, Grace narrowed his eyes and slowly read out the names of the mission targets: "Water Beast, Earth Dragon, Poison Bird and Female Fire Dragon... I have seen the Earth Dragon last time. Flame Boy, are there any things I need to pay attention to for the other three monsters?"
"Something you need to pay attention to... just like a pride of lions, water beasts are social creatures. In addition to the water beasts that need to be conquered, there are also female aquatic beasts. However, compared to water beasts, aquatic beasts are smaller in size and weaker in strength, basically the same as crocodiles. Also, the mission to conquer water beasts is in the flooded forest. There are many swamps in that place, which is not suitable for fighting."
Lieyan said thoughtfully.
"Is that so... then what about the others?"
“The poisonous bird can accumulate venom in its body and spit out poison mist and venom with its mouth and tail. Its tongue can be freely extended and waved like a whip.
But overall, compared to the other monsters, the poison bird is the weakest one. As long as you are well prepared to prevent the poison, there will basically be no problem. If I were to choose this mission, I would probably choose this one."
Lieyan reached out and tapped the scroll on the table, smiling slightly.
When Line heard the word "weakest", her eyes sparkled.
To be honest, hearing the names of this dragon or that dragon really made her, a healer of only level 2, feel a little nervous.
Although she had never seen the monsters in this world with her own eyes, she couldn't help but feel a little worried considering the fact that the monsters in the dungeon were all very powerful if they were related to dragons.
After all, even the only young dragon that appeared on the upper floor was a rare LV 2 monster, and even had the title of the master of the upper floor. The dragons in the other world shouldn’t be worse than that…
(To be honest, the quality of this thing called Young Dragon has been so low after the release of the 19th volume of the novel "Dicuo" that it was directly used as homework by students in the school district...)
An Qi beside him also wagged her tail, seeming to be a little interested.
As another core commander of the second army of Loki's family besides Raul, she has witnessed the strength of the Earth Sand Dragon with her own eyes and has considered more than Linie next to her. In general, she considers herself a complete rookie in this world and tends to choose the weakest one to adapt to the different world a little.
"But low risk also means low returns. Not only the material returns, but also the returns for adventurers." Lieyan spread his hands and continued.
Let's not talk about the selling price of bird dragon materials for now. After all, both Flame Village and Orario are still at the stage of bartering monster materials, and the value of specific materials is difficult to calculate with numbers that adventurers can understand.
But Lieyan has his own unique insights on the experience points that adventurers can gain.
Based on his own hunting experience, he can basically conclude that bird dragon monsters have the lowest experience level among all monsters.
He believed that this was not only true for him, but also for other adventurers on missions, represented by Raul.
Of course, the types of bird dragon monsters around Yanhuo Village are limited. Some representative monsters among the bird dragon species do not appear here, such as the black wolf bird and the sheep Kuku. What's more, there are ferocious bird dragons such as the thunderbird on the other side of the distant border. Therefore, this data cannot fully reflect the problem and can only be used as a reference.
"If you were to ask which one of these would help adventurers grow the most, it would be this. The Queen of the Land, the female fire dragon."
