north!
Dragon monster!
Upon hearing Royman's words, even the composed Royman's expression darkened slightly.
This is a topic that is considered "taboo"!
Roy muttered to himself, "The Dragon Visit issue?"
As expected, once Royman reached LV.7, there were things that even if Roy didn't want to know, someone would tell him the "truth" on their own initiative.
"Now that you know, that makes things easier!"
Royman gritted his teeth, "Damn it, that damned dragon, what's with all that snoring all day long!"
Roy looked at the incessantly chattering "Guild Pig" and couldn't blame him for his reaction, since every time something like this happened, it was a major disaster!
The world's three great secret realms are the Dungeon, the Great Tree Sea, and finally, Dragon Valley. The so-called "Dragon Visit Problem" refers to the dragon monsters that escaped from "Dragon Valley," which are incredibly powerful and wreak havoc on the continent.
"Those monsters escaped, and apart from the Orario adventurers, no one can deal with them. You have an obligation to deal with those bastards!" Royman's fat face was tense as he glared at Roy.
Roy glanced at the other person. Dealing with those monsters was indeed a task entrusted to Orario adventurers by everyone in the lower realm, but calling it an obligation was too much of an exaggeration.
However, he really couldn't refuse this.
Once Astraea, Ryu, Alexie, and the others learned of the disturbances in the north, they could not possibly sit idly by, after all, it involved the lives of hundreds of thousands, or even millions.
"Where is Alphia?"
Roy asked, "Alphia is going north, most likely because she accepted some kind of mission."
"That witch is trying her best, but there are just too many of them. She can't handle them all by herself!" Royman's face was grim. The time until he awakens is getting shorter and shorter. At that time, all power will lose its meaning!
How much time do we have?
"The sooner the better!"
"In that case, I also have a small favor to ask of the Guild Master." Roy pushed the land deed for purchasing the land near the Star Garden toward the other party.
"Buy land."
-
Royman flipped open the contract, glanced at it, and got a general idea of what was going on. He sneered, "You never forget to try and get something for yourself."
Roy laughed, "Even if the world ends tomorrow, we should still do what we need to do today. What's the use of rushing?"
"That's true, life is all about enjoying it while you can, hahaha!" Royman's eyes lit up, finding a kindred spirit in this young man was a rare treat.
Roy's lips twitched. Is it possible that we're not talking about the same thing at all?
"Then I'll head back now!"
Roy, too lazy to argue with this fat pig, left the land purchase contract and money on the table, trusting the other party would handle it, and turned to leave.
Royman was in a good mood after successfully sending the Astrea Familia north to deal with the "Dragon Visit Problem," as Dionysus was lurking in the shadows and the atmosphere and fighting power in the city were very tense.
Only the powerful Astrea Familia possesses additional formidable combat strength, capable of handling both sides.
Roy returned to the guild hall and was about to leave when he heard a familiar voice calling out.
"Roy, my little brother!"
Roy looked over at the sound and his face turned horrified.
Dressed in a yellow and black casual outfit and wearing a hat adorned with feathers, who else could it be but Hermes?
Behind him stood the "omnipotent" Asphie, a tall, blue-haired girl with a striking white highlight in her bangs, adding a unique charm to her quiet and beautiful face.
Asphie whispered, "Roy."
"Um!"
Roy nodded, as if to say hello.
"Roy, there's something I'd like to ask you if you'd be interested?" Hermes leaned closer to Roy, a pleased smile on his handsome face.
"Don't drag me into trouble," Roy said calmly. He'd been getting busier and busier lately, and he looked at Asphie with a sense of shared misery.
Hermes laughed, "I just saw Bell and the students from the school district enter the dungeon!"
Throughout Orario, Hermes was one of the few people who knew Bell's identity. In the original timeline, he was also entrusted by Zeus to observe Bell's growth in Orario and send letters to Zeus in the distance.
Asphi said, "The mighty one has not come out since he entered the dungeon yesterday."
Hermes, who was well-informed, had already found out that Ota was forging the Minotaur in the dungeon and guessed that it was related to Bell.
"Um?
""
Roy frowned. It seemed necessary to go and take a look. Anyway, there was a higher-level transfer, so he could just use the Earth Power on the first level, which wouldn't take much time.
"Roy, count me in!"
Upon seeing Roy about to leave, Hermes, like a vicious dog pouncing on its prey, clung tightly to Roy's leg.
"Relax!"
"Roy, this is information I went through a lot of trouble to obtain. Are you really going to just take it for free?"
Hermes's wailing and howling were so mournful that all who heard and saw them wept, immediately attracting the attention of many gods and adventurers in the guild hall.
The staff's attention.
"Roy, I need your help too!"
Before Roy could even exert his strength, a petite figure pounced on him and tightly hugged his other leg—it was Hestia.
Loki then jumped onto Roy's back.
It's quite a sight to see three gods embracing a human without any dignity, but if that person is a "madman," then it's not surprising at all.
The adventurers and staff in the hall marveled at the sight.
Only the many gods keenly sensed the amusement, their eyes faintly glowing green.
Seeing that the other gods were about to pounce, Roy no longer hesitated. He grabbed Hermes and Hestia with both hands, and with a burst of speed from his legs, he moved outwards like a ghost, leaving everyone behind at a speed of LV.7.
It left behind many gods wailing incessantly.
Transfer to a higher position!
When they arrived at a secluded alley, Roy grabbed Loki, Hermes, Hestia, and Asphie, and unleashed magic that caused spatial fluctuations to engulf them.
The next moment, they appeared inside the Tower of Babel.
"This is Roy's brother's spatial magic, it's amazing!" Hermes exclaimed in amazement.
"You're a monster, kid!"
Loki, Hestia, and Asphie all wore strikingly similar expressions, speechless with shock.
Asphie, in particular, was heartbroken. Having developed the "Talaria Flying Shoes," she held the air superiority and possessed one of Orario's top mobility skills. However, in the face of Roy's awakened spatial magic, her flying advantage vanished. Ah, people are afraid of comparison!
Roy, however, paid them no heed.
As soon as he landed, Roy activated his "Intuition" skill, abruptly turning his head and locking onto a certain direction.
"Roy!"
Leon and Baldr, who was wearing a cloak, smiled and waved to Roy.
Roy was speechless. "What are you doing?"
Bader's expression turned serious. "Bell is a student in the school district, and as a teacher, I have a responsibility to protect my students!"
However, everyone caught a hint of excited and fanatical smile on Baldr's face, while Leon, who had been forcibly dragged over to be his bodyguard, wore a wry smile.
The so-called "good and evil" are labels that people in the lower realms put on gods. Most gods come down to have fun, and even Baldr is no exception.
The only difference is the content of the "fun".
Some gods enjoy role-playing as villains; some like to uphold justice; some like to teach and nurture, as if playing a nurturing game, finding pleasure in watching children grow up in the mortal world.
Badr undoubtedly belongs to the last category.
In the blink of an eye, the group heading into the dungeon had grown to seven people, including four gods.
With Leon and Asphie's protection, it's very safe in the upper levels even without Roy's intervention.
"Guild rules prohibit gods from entering the dungeon."
"Don't worry, as long as we don't get caught!"
"Haha, I was prepared!"
Loki, Hestia, and Hermes were also prepared, wrapping themselves completely in cloaks.
To prevent any untoward incidents, the guild has explicitly forbidden gods from entering the dungeon, as long as they are not discovered and their divine power is not unleashed within the dungeon.
There were quite a few adventurers dressed in strange clothes, or trying to hide their identities, but the Ganesha Familia members only glanced at them and did not stop them.
The group successfully entered the underground city.
Roy used his "Earth Power" to visualize everything from the first to the thirty-sixth floor. On the sixth floor, he saw the figures of Bell and the others.
And Ota and that Minotaur.
Roy's face darkened. They hadn't stopped Ota that day on the condition that Bell must notify him when he fought the Minotaur. As expected, Freya, that crazy old hag, wasn't going to keep her promise.
"Roy, can you find him?" Hermes asked expectantly. They had to rely on Roy's tracking skills, otherwise finding someone in the dungeon would be extremely difficult.
Little did they know, Roy didn't need to use the Netherworld Soul Chaser at all; he simply used "Earth Power" to scan the area at a glance.
Roy replied, "Sure."
"Yay!"
The gods who came looking for fun smiled.
"Bert seems to have been left behind, Roy, you have to protect me!" Loki, disregarding the difference between men and women, laughed and grabbed Roy's arm.
It sounded like two pieces of fine iron colliding.
Roy's brow twitched almost imperceptibly. Damn steel plate, don't hit someone!
On the other hand, the feeling was completely different. Hestia was also holding Roy's arm tightly. The touch was so soft and warm that it felt like he was sinking his arm into a warm and soft ocean.
"Loki, are you bothered by not seeing Roy?"
, 7
"Don't be so smug, you little dwarf. Just wait and see how that little rabbit gets ravaged by the monster!"
Loki's entire Familia had leveled up, with three even reaching LV.7. Loki came over specifically to show off to Hestia, which infuriated Hestia.
Hestia rushed out upon hearing that Little Bell was about to encounter danger in the dungeon.
Loki followed suit.
Roy led them using a high-level teleport, while Bert, acting as a bodyguard, remained at the guild headquarters.
"Over here!"
Roy used his powers to find the shortest path, while Leon and Asphie cleared out the few monsters. It was Roy who manipulated them, making a show of it.
The group moved with impunity, exploring faster than Bell's team, reaching the ninth floor and entering a secluded room even sooner.
Bell and the others were fighting in the adjacent cave.
The monster's roars, the chanting of magic, and the crisp sounds of striking were almost nonstop and clearly audible.
It gives people a feeling of trepidation.
Asphi took out a camouflage cloth and stuck it to the entrance of the hole. It was also a magical item, with an effect similar to a specially made glass window. People inside could see outside, while those outside could only see an ordinary wall.
Hermes explained its function to Hestia, who looked surprised. The child from the lower realm was truly remarkable; she had been so arrogant when she first descended.
Loki laughed, "Asufi is really amazing."
"Lord Loki, don't joke with me." Having witnessed Roy's spatial magic and been deeply shocked, almost shattering her Dao heart, Asifi replied weakly.
In the blink of an eye, Bell and his group came into Roy and the others' view.
The human girl Yarisa, the bullman Badain, the dwarf Nathan, and the twelve-year-old Bell are the lowest level, while the other three are LV.2.
With the strength of this team, they are basically safe in the upper levels, except for unexpected terrain collapses. The main danger is the novice, Training Bell; otherwise, the other three would have already gone to explore the middle levels.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Since being rescued by Roy last time, Badain and the others dared not underestimate the dungeon again. Even in the upper levels, they were on high alert to deal with any potential dangers.
Leon and Bader praised him highly, and when they looked at Roy, there was also a hint of gratitude in their eyes.
The team worked together seamlessly. Captain Badain held off the monsters in front of them, while the little man Nathan acted as a guerrilla, sending three or four monsters to fight Bell. The human girl, Arisa, was ready to unleash magic at any moment.
The four gods watched with great interest.
Unable to enter the dungeons, those who want to witness battles with monsters on the surface must either go to the wild or to the arena during monster festivals.
Neither of them is as thrilling or exciting as the dungeon.
"This is what life is like for children in the lower realms every day. It's so dangerous." Hestia trembled. In contrast, her daily work seemed like a peaceful and idyllic life.
Hermes, Loki, and Baldr focused more on Bell and the others than on the monsters. Roy and his crew were fighting in the deeper levels, which was truly devastating; exploring the upper levels was like child's play.
Roy stared at the battle ahead, actually using "Earth Power" to capture a trace of divine power.
It's genuine divine power!
It's Freya!
In theory, gods cannot use their divine power in the mortal realm. There are two scenarios: one is that they suffer a fatal injury, which triggers their divine power to repair their bodies, and they are then automatically sent back to the celestial realm; the other is that they actively use their divine power, which is discovered by other gods, thus violating the rules, and are forcibly sent back to the celestial realm by the combined efforts of the gods.
When divine power is used, a specific wavelength is emitted, which is noticed by all the gods in the vicinity. The more divine power is used, the larger this range becomes.
Freya was the only exception.
By using her charm to control all the nearby gods, she could use a sliver of divine power to allow her, atop the Tower of Babel, to see the scenery of the underground city.
