And at noon, a piece of news that shocked countless people spread throughout Orario.
Back then, the record for the fastest level 1 upgrade set by Loki Familia, the famous [Sword Princess] Ais Wallenstein, was broken, and it was broken by two people at once.
And it was reduced from one year to four days in one go!
Such outrageous news even made people wonder if the guild had made a mistake. However, the guild repeatedly stated that the information was accurate and even posted a notice to this effect.
This move completely confirmed the authenticity of the news. After all, posting the notice was equivalent to the guild using its own credibility to guarantee it.
But it is precisely because of this that it makes people doubt life even more.
"In just four days, the newcomer who just got God's Blessing was promoted to lv2?"
"And two such people appeared at once?"
"Are you kidding? It took a whole year to make Sword Princess!"
For a time, the two names Siri O'Flaherty and Sakura Kinomoto spread throughout Orario.
It's no wonder these people had such a big reaction, after all, the news was too shocking.
Back then, [Sword Princess] shocked countless people by spending a year to upgrade to level 2 at the age of eight, but that was still one year, more than three hundred and sixty days.
This record that has been kept for eight years has now been shortened to four days? A gap of nearly a hundred times?
Such an outrageous gap, if the guild had not endorsed it with credibility, I am afraid that even if it were told as a story, people would be angry and illogical.
Along with the names of Siri O'Flaherty and Sakura Kinomoto spread throughout Orario, there is also Hestia Familia to which they belong, which also reminds many God of the existence of Hestia.
Loki Familia station, Twilight Manor top floor.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
When I just received the news from the guild, Loki slapped the table hard and shouted loudly regardless of the image.
"In four days, we upgraded from lv1 to lv2, and it was still two people at once. Why does that little dwarf have such good luck?"
"This news came from the guild, and a special announcement was posted for this purpose. It is backed by the reputation of the guild, which means that this news is unlikely to be false."
Standing aside, one of the three giants affiliated with Loki Familia, the leader of Loki Familia [Braver] Finn sighed and said.
"However, if this news is true, then such a talent is indeed too terrifying. [Silent] had never performed like this when he was at level 1."
The deputy leader [Nine Hell] Riveria, who also belongs to Loki Familia and is one of the three giants, answered the call with an unnatural expression.
If possible, she actually didn't want to mention [Silent]Alfia. After all, she, who is now known as the strongest mage in the Labyrinth City, had always been suppressed by that talented monster in the past.
But facing the sudden emergence of Siri O'Flaherty and Sakura Kinomoto, she really couldn't think of a more suitable comparison object.
"Ji... I really don't know what kind of bad luck that little guy got."
Knowing that what Finn and Riveria said were true, Loki clicked his tongue in displeasure and finally sat back on the chair.
"If you have the chance, try to find a way to meet these two super newcomers. It's best to get to know each other."
Because she was worried about being cheated on, it was impossible for Loki to make an appointment with Hestia in private, so she could only talk to her Familia children like this.
As for Orario, besides Loki Familia, the other two strongest ones are Familia and Freya Familia.
The attitude of this group of people is completely opposite to the emphasis on Loki Familia. They don't care about such things at all.
Unless there is an order from the goddess, all they care about is the love rivals around them. Even Ottar only glanced at the information from the guild, and then went about their business.
While Orario was talking about it, as the two people who were the main ones in the discussion, Seele was curled up in the arms of An Xiu, letting An Xiu's hand is stroking his soft hair, and Sakura is condensing and creating a new Clow Cards... Oh no, it should be Sakura Card.
Due to the previous training of physical attributes, in order to facilitate subsequent training, this time Sakura deliberately gathered several cards that can assist in improving other attributes besides magic.
[Sword] card, [Power] card, [Shield] card, [Time] card, [Mirror] card.
There are a total of five new cards, each of which has a very powerful effect, such as Sword Card, which has two effects. The first effect allows the user to automatically acquire the world's top swordsmanship and master it, and the second effect turns it into a Western sword that can cut anything the owner wants to cut.
Power Card, as the name suggests, is based on the magic power of the holder, which is close to the amplification power of Limitless. Shield Card can protect the holder from harm, Time Card has the power to pause time and control time, and Mirror Card can reflect people in mirrors to copy designated objects.
It can be said that these cards condensed by Sakura, even if they are not model worker cards in the original work, are the ones with the best abilities or effects among all Clow Cards in the original work.
"I got five new cards in one go. It's time to find someone to officially test my strength."
As he said that, An Xiu looked at Hestia who was sitting aside and was unhappy.
"Want to find someone to test your specific strength? How strong do you want to be?"
Speaking of formality, Hestia temporarily put away his unhappy thoughts and asked.
In fact, she is also quite curious about the specific strength of Sakura now.
"It would be best to find someone at level 5 or level 6 to be Sakura's opponent."
In An Xiu's perception, the scale of magic power in Sakura's body is already quite large. If we insist on making an analogy, it is probably comparable to more than half of Mobius.
Even if Mobius is a scientific researcher in Pre-Civilization's Thirteen Flame-Chasers, he is still Flame Chaser anyway. Even if he is only half the strength, pretend to be DanMachi There will be no problem with level 5 or level 6 in 's world, so based on this standard, the opponents An Xiu finds for Sakura to test their strength should naturally start at this level.
"Lv5 or lv6?"
After hearing An Xiu's request, Hestia thought for a moment.
It is not impossible to say that among the Gods she knows, there are children from the lower world who have reached lv5 or even beyond lv5 and reached lv6 as dependents. The first thing Hestia thought of was Hephaestus and Loki.
Even though she was kicked out of the house by Hephaestus and often laughed at by Loki, they actually have a good relationship with each other, especially Hephaestus and she can be said to be very good friends.
However, this time she said she was going to help Sakura test her strength, but it was an opportunity for Hestia to show off, so after thinking for a moment, she made a decisive decision.
"Let's go, I'll take you to Loki Familia."
Chapter 109: Loki: Damn it, Hestia...
Loki Familia station, in front of the gate.
"Please inform Loki that I want to see her for something."
After bringing Seele and Sakura to this place all the way from the abandoned church, Hestia arrived at the gate and communicated with the Loki Familia members who were guarding the gate for a moment. Since they recognized the identity of Hestia God, the guards did not say much and quickly sent someone in to inform them.
After a while, someone came out and entered Twilight Manor with Hestia, Sakura and Seele.
Twilight Manor Hall, Finn, the leader of Loki Familia, Riveria and Gareth stood here to greet Hestia Familia.
"First meeting, I am Finn, the leader of Loki Familia. This is the deputy leader Riveria, and Gareth. Welcome to Loki Familia."
"Loki Lord God is still upstairs and needs a little preparation, so we will greet you first. Please forgive me if there is any inconvenience."
Just listen to Finn speaking gently to the three Hestia in front of you.
Being able to have Loki Familia, including the group leader, all three of the highest level lv6s present, is enough to show that Loki Familia attaches great importance to Hestia Familia.
If it were just ordinary Familia members, there would definitely be no need to engage in such a battle, but who asked Hestia, who is God, to come in person?
Even if the meeting between God is just a trivial matter that is boring or even sudden, Finn, as the leader of the Loki Familia group, must pay enough attention to it, so as not to lose etiquette in front of other God and lose the face of his own leader.
Even though Loki himself may not care about such things, Finn must consider it carefully enough before clearly expressing his unwelcome attitude.
"Loki What is that guy pretending to be? What is she prepared for? Is she trying to put on airs and avoid me on purpose?"
Hestia naturally had no objection to the attention Finn and others paid, but what made her unhappy was the rhetoric of that guy Loki.
It's not that she was mocking the other person, it was just that Loki's body that was flatter than a flat plate had nothing to do with it. Moreover, they had known each other for so many years. Why didn't she remember when that guy Loki valued her so much and even dressed up before meeting her? It was obviously an excuse for not wanting to see her.
"I told you, you little dwarf, to stop talking nonsense. Why do I avoid you on purpose? If I didn't want to see you, you wouldn't even be able to enter the gate of my Familia residence!"
As soon as Hestia finished speaking, Loki, who was originally hiding on the stairs, couldn't help but jump out.
Well, she did want to deliberately hide from Hestia. After all, Loki, who is God of Lies, knew very well what kind of virtues God had. When she heard that Hestia came to her with two children from the lower world, she immediately concluded that the other party must have come to show off to her.
But out of curiosity about the two children who broke Ais Fastest Level-Up Record back then, although Loki was unwilling, he did not drive them away directly, but asked Finn to take them in, and the current scene occurred.
"Are these two kids who broke the Ais-chan's upgrade time record that year? They upgraded from lv1 to lv2 after just getting Grace in four days. Are they true? Shorty, did you really not lie to the guild about the upgrade time?"
Glancing at Seele and Sakura behind Hestia, Loki stared with a pair of squinting eyes, revealing a hint of passion.
"The guild will definitely investigate this kind of thing repeatedly before issuing an announcement. Besides, I won't lie about this kind of thing. I will deliberately lie about the upgrade speed just to make myself public. Am I that kind of god?"
"That's true."
Hestia's character is considered to be the best among God's. Even Loki, who often mocks the opponent's shortness, agrees with this.
Since the other party personally stated that the upgrade speed is real, it means that the two girls following Hestia have really completed the incredible feat of upgrading in four days.
"Seele, Sakura, say hello."
Hestia also spoke to Seele and Sakura behind him at the right moment.
"Hello, Lord Loki, I am Siri O'Flaherty, the current leader of Hestia Familia, this is Sakura Kinomoto, just call us Seele and Sakura."
"Hello, Loki Lord God."
Seele and Sakura spoke one after another and greeted Loki and Su En in the hall.
"You're so good. You don't need to be so serious about calling me sister. Just call me sister Loki. By the way, do you two have any plans to come to Loki Familia? The conditions here are much better than those of the little dwarf~"
Loki stepped forward with a smile, reached out and touched the heads of the two well-behaved girls, feeling as if their whole bodies had been healed.
He's so cute, so talented, and so well-behaved and obedient, yet he met two of them at once. How has the little dwarf been eating so well these days?
It really makes the gods jealous. I have heard that they are working to make a living, but they can meet two such perfect children from the lower world at once. Could it be that they bumped into each other on the street on the way home from work? What the hell kind of luck is this?
It's unforgivable, Hestia!
"Thank you sister Loki for the invitation, but Seele has no intention of leaving Hestia Familia."
"Sakura also wants to be with sister Hestia. I'm sorry, sister Loki."
Unfortunately, although they wanted to take Seele and Sakura back home, they both chose to refuse with apologetic expressions when faced with Loki's request.
Seeing this scene, Hestia suddenly showed a proud expression.
"Did you see that the relationship between Sakura Seele and me is not something that you, a tablet, can instigate with just a few words. If you want to kidnap Seele and Sakura, I advise you to give up as soon as possible."
"Tsk, I really don't know where you, a little dwarf, got such luck."
Facing Hestia's face, Loki curled his lips in displeasure, then pulled a chair in the hall and sat down.
"Tell me, why did you come to see me this time?"
"It's not a big deal, I just want to find one of your Familia's first-level Adventurers to compete with this kid Sakura."
After calming down the expression on his face, Hestia's expression became more serious, and he talked about the purpose of coming to Loki Familia this time.
"Huh?"
Upon hearing Hestia's request, Loki immediately showed a look on his face as if he was teasing me.
"Are you going to let your Familia, Adventurer, who has just reached lv2, compete with the first-level Adventurer, who is at least lv5? Or is it Sakura, who just got Grace a few days ago, and is strictly a novice Adventurer?"
Chapter 110: Sword Card and Power Card, Ais was shot flying
Let lv2 Adventurer challenge the first level Adventurer who starts at least lv5?
What kind of competition can lead to such a disparity in strength?
Fortunately, Hestia had already made up an excuse for Loki's question.
"You also know, because Seele and Sakura have refreshed the fastest upgrade record in the guild, now Orario must have many people eyeing our Familia."
"Although there are not many Familia and Orario of the first level Adventurer, there are still some, and I'm afraid not all of these Familia are polite. It is possible that many people have the idea of taking away Seele and Sakura."
"In order to be prepared in advance to deal with future enemies, I plan to let these two children experience the strength of the first-level Adventurer in advance."
"But, is there any use in doing this? Even if you realize the difference in strength, there is no way lv2 can be the opponent of lv5, right?"
In the world of DanMachi, the level gap between Adventurer means a huge difference in strength. Let alone lv2 against lv5, even if lv2 faces lv3, it is almost inevitable to lose.
If Adventurer can defeat an opponent whose level is higher than itself while being behind in level, even if the opponent is only one level higher than him, under normal circumstances it would be enough for Grace to directly meet the upgrade conditions Great Feat.
The strength gap represented by the level is so absolute. Those who can defeat the opponent across the one-level gap are monsters among monsters, let alone even across Grade 3.
Therefore, Loki now feels that Hestia plans to let Sakura and Seele of level 2 challenge Adventurer, who is at least level 5 of the first level. It can be described as out of mind.
"How will you know if you don't try?"
"My child can create Miracle."
However, Hestia is very confident about Seele and Sakura.
"In addition, I want to correct one thing. It is not that I want Seele and Sakura to challenge the first level Adventurer, but Sakura alone challenges the first level Adventurer."
