A day flies by quickly.
At about 8:30 a. m. the next day, a large number of people gathered around Tower of Babel.
Among them are ordinary people, adventurers and gods.
But their purpose is the same, which is to watch the Loki Familia expeditionary force under the clown flag.
As one of the Orario duo, Loki Familia has always been the vanguard in conquering the deepest part of Dungeon with its united style, and is also the record holder.
In contrast, although Freya has the strongest LV7 level adventurer in the entire city, there are many problems within the family clan.
Especially senior members, no one obeys anyone.
Moreover, they prefer to challenge the deeper Dungeon alone rather than working as a team, so they are obviously stronger, but they are lagging behind in terms of progress.
Simply put, teamwork trumps individual heroism.
"Damn it! It's already half past eight, why hasn't that guy come yet? Are you sure he agreed to join this expedition?" Bert the Werewolf scratched the back of his head impatiently and asked.
"Calm down! Don't worry! It's still half an hour before the assembly time is nine o'clock." Finn smiled and comforted his team members.
As the group leader, he knows very well that Bete's character is always extremely impatient and very arrogant. Although he has a bit of a venomous mouth, he is actually a quite trustworthy partner.
And only those whose strength is recognized will get special attention from Bete.
"Cut!"
After hearing the leader's words, the werewolf could only sit down on the ground, his eyes always staring at the street in the distance.
In contrast, the somewhat naive Ais kept wiping the long sword he bought for thirty million Lifa, with a strange light shining in his pupils.
As early as a few days ago, she had gone to Dungeon to test the power of the weapon, so she was full of expectations for this expedition.
Become stronger!
Become stronger!
This is her simple and pure purpose of becoming an adventurer.
"Oh my! Ais's expression is really terrifyingly focused." Loki narrowed his eyes and stared at Blonde Girl's expression, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes! Indeed! Ais has been very focused these days! It seems that that sword has allowed her to find the key to breaking through the bottleneck. I have to say that although the weapons and armors made by Allen are very expensive, they are all worth the money. As for those potions, they are irreplaceable. We will definitely be able to achieve pretty good results in this expedition." Riveria responded with a smile.
Since the supplies were exceptionally well prepared, she was full of confidence in this expedition.
Just when Loki sneaked up on Ais from behind and planned to hit her chest with two hands, Allen finally walked out of the crowd with two Silver Giant Wolvess and took the initiative to wave to Teuchi and say hello, "Hey! You guys came really early enough."
"What the hell! It's already 8:45! Aren't you a little nervous? This is an expedition to the depths of Dungeon! Exploring unknown and dangerous areas!" Bert the Werewolf complained with an unhappy look on his face.
"But I'm not late, am I?" Allen asked with a half-smile.
This sentence instantly choked Bete, who was full of complaints and couldn't say it out, and his face turned the color of pig liver at one point.
But soon, he discovered that there was a new face behind him, and immediately asked, "Who is that kid behind you? Don't tell me, you want to take him to join our expeditionary force."
"No! He is just a newbie who just joined Hestia Familia and happened to join Dungeon along the way." Allen explained casually.
"I... my name is Bell! Please take good care of me when we meet for the first time!"
Bell quickly stood up and saluted the seniors present.
no way!
Just the momentum these high-level adventurers exuded unintentionally made him feel so nervous that he couldn't breathe.
"Hestia?! Did that little man actually recruit a family member?" Loki suddenly widened his eyes with an expression of disbelief.
After all, she was still laughing at him two days ago. She had been down to earth for so long, but she couldn't even establish her own family.
"Yes! Although the process is quite tortuous and bizarre, Hestia Familia has indeed been established."
With that said, Allen patted Bell on the shoulder. "Go and do your business. What's coming next is not something you can participate in now."
"Understood! I will work hard!"
Without saying a word, Bell immediately pulled out Phantom Blade, which was exuding a biting chill, and rushed straight into the entrance of the first floor of Dungeon.
It wasn't until he completely disappeared from sight that Finn asked in a slightly surprised tone, "Did you give him that sword?"
Allen nodded slightly. "Well, that's right. Is there another person in this city besides me who can build similar weapons?"
"Don't you think it's too luxurious and conspicuous for a novice to use such a weapon? And... don't you really want to accept that little man's invitation to join her family?" Loki suddenly interjected.
Obviously, she was testing Allen's attitude and tendency.
"Perhaps, no one can say clearly about the future. And compared to those powerful dependent families that have established a system, I do prefer those smaller dependent families." Allen answered ambiguously.
After several days of research in Dungeon, he had roughly figured out what magic was.
But the problem is that without receiving divine grace, it is almost an impossible task to integrate this ubiquitous energy into oneself.
On the one hand, he is not from this world at all, so he is not born with more or less magical power like local people, animals, and monsters.
Since you don't have it yourself, how can you control and mobilize it?
On the other hand, compared with the pure Life Energy like Nianhe Chakra, the magic power is closer to Arcane Energy of Azerath, which is Mana in Hunter class template.
He was not sure if he really forcibly absorbed the magic power, whether it would lead to some unforeseen serious consequences.
For these two reasons, Allen has begun to consider whether to sign a contract with Hestia and then accept the favor to join the other party's family.
In any case, after getting along with him for a period of time, he felt that although Goddess had various problems, his personality and behavior were still in line with his taste.
What's more, now Hestia Familia only has a single seedling like Bell, so there is no need to worry about management and operation.
Loki obviously understood what Allen wanted to express, so he didn't bother too much. After directly sending his blessings, Finn led the expeditionary force to Dungeon.
With their strong strength and excellent teamwork, they pushed all the way to the twentieth floor in less than a few hours.
Even when passing by the safety zone on the 18th floor, he didn't even think of stopping to rest.
