Lin Yuan did not answer immediately.
Loki didn't urge him, but stood in front of him with a smile. Finn and Riveria didn't interrupt, clearly leaving the decision to their respective gods.
"What do I need to do after joining the Familia?" Lin Yuan asked.
"Let me bestow this Falna upon you first, then you can register with the guild," Loki said. "Whether you explore the Dungeon or stay on the surface to work, as long as you don't betray your Familia, everything else is negotiable."
What is Falna?
"Inscribe sacred words on your back, and let your experiences become a skill you can accumulate."
Loki walked halfway around Lin Yuan, his gaze seemingly examining an object he had never seen before.
"However, you can now walk through the thirty-seventh floor on your own. We're also very curious about what will happen after you receive this Falna."
Lin Yuan realized that the last sentence was what truly interested her.
"Will sacred texts remain in the body?"
"Of course. That's the connection between God and the child."
"Then I won't join for now."
Loki's smile remained unchanged, "Because you don't want God to leave anything on you?"
"Because I don't know Falna yet, nor do I know you," Lin Yuan said. "I won't let any unfamiliar power enter my body until I figure it out."
Finn wasn't surprised by the answer. Riveria's gaze towards Lin Yuan softened somewhat.
Loki stared at him for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing.
"They picked up someone from the thirty-seventh floor Familia they didn't even know existed, and they turned out to be quite cautious."
"You didn't hate my answer?"
"We're just extending an invitation, not forcing you to do anything," Loki waved his hand. "If you're not willing now, you can change your mind later. The gates of the Loki Familia will remain open for you for now."
She turned to Finn: "Take him to the guild first. His identity, his residence, and the reason he appeared from the thirty-seventh floor—these things need to be dealt with one by one."
"That's exactly what I'm planning to do."
Ais, who had already walked into the building, stopped when she heard their conversation.
I'll go too.
Finn glanced at her. "You just finished an expedition, you should rest first."
"It was arranged."
She glanced at the Nameless around Lin Yuan's waist.
Finn then remembered their agreement in the Dungeon and could only let her accompany him.
The three left the Twilight Manor. Loki didn't follow, but stood inside the gate watching Lin Yuan's retreating figure.
She didn't raise her hand to her chest until the figure turned the corner.
After Lin Yuan left, the inexplicable disgust finally subsided.
"What exactly is that thing...?"
She couldn't find the answer in Lin Yuan.
On the way to the guild, Finn briefly explained the rules of Orario. Entry to the Dungeon requires registration, monster-dropped magic stones can be exchanged for currency at the guild, and it's difficult to obtain official adventurer status without Familia's guarantee.
"You didn't Loki Familia, which will cause some trouble later," Finn said. "However, we can prove that you didn't attack the expedition team first, and you also rescued the members back home."
That's enough.
Lin Yuan had no intention of relying on an organization he had just met for a living.
As we passed through Northwest Street, a sudden argument broke out ahead.
"By joining my Familia, you can quickly become a full-fledged adventurer!"
"I'm sorry, but I've already decided to join the Takemikazuchi Familia."
The young man left in a hurry, leaving only a short, black-haired girl standing by the roadside. She had her hair tied in pigtails that reached her waist, wore a white short skirt, and a blue ribbon tied at the chest. Her petite figure had an unusually voluptuous figure, which contrasted sharply with her youthful face.
She was holding a stack of papers with recruitment notices on them, one of which was blown away by the wind and landed right at Lin Yuan's feet.
Lin Yuan glanced down.
The paper had a crooked flame drawing on it, with the words " Hestia Familia Recruiting First Member" written below. The sections for accommodation, equipment, and income were all blank.
The black-haired girl caught up and bent down to pick up the paper.
"Thank you... wait?"
She looked up and saw Lin Yuan, and suddenly stopped moving.
Lin Yuan also sensed that she was different from ordinary people. Her aura, like that of other gods in the city, was suppressed to a very low level, yet it carried a stable temperature like a furnace fire.
The silver pendant attached to her chest moved slightly.
It wasn't True Magic, nor did anyone touch the pendant. The cold silver ornament spontaneously emitted a faint warmth, which vanished in the blink of an eye.
Lin Yuan reached out and pressed the pendant. "Are you a god too?"
"What do you mean 'also a god'? I am a goddess!" Hestia straightened her body instinctively, causing the blue ribbon on her chest to rise high.
She then noticed Finn and Ais standing beside her. " Loki Familia?"
"We're getting ready to take him to the guild," Finn said.
Hestia then looked at Lin Yuan: "Are you a newcomer to the Loki Familia?"
"No."
Have they already received the Falna of other gods?
"No."
Hestia's eyes immediately lit up.
She shoved the recruitment paper in front of Lin Yuan, more than twice as fast as when she was chasing after the paper.
"My name is Hestia. I've just arrived in the lower realm and haven't yet established my own Familia."
Lin Yuan glanced at the blank pages on the paper, showing the accommodation and income information.
So you don't have any members?
Hestia's expression froze for a moment, then she nodded vigorously.
"Not now, but it will be available soon if you agree."
She gripped the recruitment paper with both hands and looked intently at Lin Yuan.
"Would you like to be my first child?"
