Loki said, "Adventurers below level 4 will automatically withdraw. I haven't sung the real divine wine made by Soma after he descended to the mortal world, but it is far more addictive than what you just drank."
"Level 4... No, maybe below level 5. At this level, there is no way there will be any problem with the mental state."
"Anyone want it?"
Grace pondered for a moment. Most dwarves love wine, and he is not one of the few who doesn't like wine. But with just that little bit of divine wine...
"Loki, can't you dilute it into ordinary divine wine?"
"Okay, but I won't do it." Loki fully exerted his willfulness as a god and forcibly rejected Grace's opinion, which seemed absolutely reasonable.
——It also perfectly avoided the possibility that the Loki clan would be completely torn apart.
Loki said proudly: "We are all going to another world. Since the upper limit of that world is higher, is there a lack of more delicious divine wine?"
"As long as you can persevere, good things will come to you sooner or later. It's not like there won't be opportunities in the future. Why are you being so humble? Are you afraid of hurting the relationship?"
Loki narrowed his eyes and looked at everyone present with amusement.
"…What do you think? Who will own this divine wine? Tell us what you think."
A face that looks like a god who just wants to watch a good show.
Upon hearing this, everyone in Loki's family thought that it seemed to be true.
If the clan fights too fiercely for precious things, it will damage the harmony. In the case of Loki's clan, most people will be more humble.
But now that I know there will be better ones in the future...
What's the point of being humble?
Everyone will evaluate their own abilities, and whoever grabs it first gets it.
Finn did not back down and said, "Since there is such an opportunity, then in terms of merit and status, it is naturally my responsibility as the leader."
"Stand back a little, how can you be a leader like this." Grace patted Finn's shoulder and said calmly: "When you are the leader of a battle, you don't go to the front line, grab the spoils first? You won't go far."
"Listen to me, you can't handle the divine wine. We dwarves are experts in drinking. Let me handle this."
Finn said calmly, "The Lilliputians are similar to dwarves."
"...quibbling." Grace glared at Finn without any shame.
"Old men, I'll go first, Lone Wolf Speed." Bert was the first to take action.
"I knew you were going to run away, Jörmungandr."
"Tione, you are despicable. When did you secretly chant magic?"
"It has nothing to do with you, sister, hurry up."
"Well done, Grace. You take my shot too."
"Finn, you are serious, huh, you want to break my shield, then come and try."
Soon, the scene was in chaos. Instead of saying that it was because of the divine wine, it would be more accurate to say that it was just a prank before parting.
This whole new world is also unknown to Loki's family.
Each member present had various reasons, some wanted to become stronger, some wanted to protect their fellow clan members, and they had already realized that they would not fear death.
But in Orario, as a member of the strongest family in the city, they actually know the crises they will encounter.
In the other world, maybe it's not like starting over again from scratch, but it will definitely not be as easy as it is now in Orario. The people of Loki's family understand this.
While the family members were playing around, Livilia quietly drank ordinary divine wine. This stuff did have a certain flavor, but it was basically impossible for her to become addicted to it.
She did not join the battlefield, but watched her clan members fighting with a calm expression, a playful smile on her face.
When no one was paying attention to her, her mouth shape changed slightly.
"Snow blows all over the sky, three severe winters come - my name is Alver."
Three streams of blowing snow covered the area where the clan members were fighting, freezing them and Loki inside.
Before the frozen ice layer could recover, Livilia stepped forward and took the small bottle of wine into her arms.
"...and it's still chilled." Livilia said lightly.
"...Livilia, that's too much. You clearly have no interest in wine." Finn soon broke free from the ice.
"Whether you are interested or not is my business. Anyway, it belongs to me." Livilia added: "I stole it anyway."
"Livilia, you can set the conditions as you like." Grace swallowed.
"...No, I plan to wait for Ai Si to come back and give it to her as a triumphant gift."
Livilia said.
She was a little worried about Aisi now. Logically speaking, after just spending some time with the dragon-shaped monster, Aisi's knot was much deeper than she thought... But since she hadn't given up for so long, Livilia estimated that Aisi was not far from success.
Not long after he finished speaking, the voice of a certain elf was heard.
"Ai Ai Ai Ai Ai Ai... Miss Ai Si, welcome back."
"Good morning, Lefiya."
Chapter 79
Aisi looked exhausted, and her armor was covered in blood.
She herself was not injured, and this trial for her was mainly focused on her mind.
Most dragon-type monsters are not weak and live in the deep middle layers, but with Aisi's strength, as long as she doesn't go crazy looking for those dragon-type floor masters, she will not be in danger.
The really difficult part was for her to control her anger and try not to kill the monsters.
In the past, Aisi always regarded monsters as the creatures that caused disasters and were without blood or tears. When she encountered a monster, she would just kill it without mercy.
Now, she has some new perspectives.
Of course, she didn't sympathize with the monster, as she felt that the monster was not very intelligent.
And... Finn's command might be of some use?
If the monster does have some intelligence, it might be fooled and fall into the trap set by Finn, which will really reduce the threat.
While interacting with the dragon monsters, while suppressing the murderous intent in her heart, Ais also underwent a slightly strange psychological change.
In order to gain more power, she must endure the disgust of living with dragon monsters.
Then Finn's strategy, and the training of new recruits, even letting them face combat and possibly put their lives in danger... maybe it's something similar?
Aisi didn't understand much and didn't know what those things meant, but her intuition told her that there was a certain commonality among them.
Resisting the urge to dismember the dragon, after spending some time with it, she decisively divided the monster into seventeen parts.
Faintly, Ais felt that there were some changes in herself. The skills that were difficult to use in the past seemed to have less side effects.
In the past, she felt that as long as she could do one thing well in her life, it would be enough.
This is a big thing, which includes revenge for parents, protection of innocent people, making Loki's family stronger, and so on.
But this matter is actually very small, so small that it can be easily explained.
Kill monsters, then become stronger, then kill more monsters.
This is how she spent the first few years of her life.
But after experiencing this incident, she realized the importance of "not killing monsters in order to be able to kill them."
What exactly this meant, Aisi couldn't say, but she felt that if she could recognize this problem, she might be able to grow further.
With some doubts in mind, Ais returned to the Loki clan from the dungeon. She was a little surprised that the defense of the Loki clan was a little weak today, and the only acquaintance she saw was Lefiya.
After politely greeting Lefiya, she learned that the family was having a party and Ais came to her.
The scene was in a mess, full of scratches from weapons and frost marks left by the blizzard.
Aisi tilted her head, it was hard to imagine what happened in the clan... a fight?
Could it be a civil war among the clan?
Livilia looked at Ais who had a dazed look on her face and shook her head slightly.
She was half of Aisi's mother, having raised her single-handedly, but if she could really tell what Aisi was thinking...if she could figure it out, she wouldn't have to be so troubled.
With her experience of setting up a stall to answer people's questions as Sister Alf, the more talkative people like Ais are, the more they will think wildly.
It can be said that it is a pure innocence that is ignorant of the world, but from another perspective, it is also a train of thought that is not bound by common sense.
I can often think of angles that ordinary people can't think of.
Livilia stepped forward and gave Ais a hug.
"Welcome back, Ais."
Livilia knew that there was something strange about Ais's life.
It is hard for ordinary people to imagine how much suffering Aisi has endured.
She lost her parents when she was a child, and after she grew up a little, she spent day and night in the dungeon.
It is undeniable that Aisi’s current achievements have a lot to do with her talent. Even if other people work as hard as she does, it is impossible for them to reach their current level at such a young age.
But it is also undeniable that among adventurers of the same level, Ais is the craziest type when it comes to adventure. Her current achievements are the result of both talent and hard work, not just talent.
However, Aisi didn't actually suffer much.
Hard battles, struggling between life and death, having to get up before dawn the next day to continue practicing until her limbs ached. Aisi had experienced all of this.
But Aisi had never experienced such suffering as betrayal by friends, framing by teammates, and being unable to protect others when facing monsters.
So much so that, to this day, Ais still has the bad habit of not listening to Finn's orders and acting recklessly.
Who made them Loki's followers, and who made Loki dote on Ais too much?
In a sense, letting Ai Si learn to control her emotions and not rush forward when facing monsters is even more important than letting her upgrade from lv5 to lv6.
Increasing your level increases your strength, and controlling your emotions improves yourself.
