Someone Was Watching from the Top of the Tower
Hestia stared at the words "Campione" for a long time without saying a word.
She continued to examine the sacred text, copying the complete text onto paper.
Name: Lin Yuan
Level: Lv.1
Strength: I 0
Durability: I 0
Dexterity: I 0
Agile: I 0
Magic: I 0
Development capability: None
Skill:
[Campione]
The evidence left behind by mortals who crossed the boundary between gods and humans and personally killed a deity.
Divine might could not force it to submit, nor could divine power corrupt its body. Any being possessing divinity was no longer unapproachable before its wielder, but rather an enemy that could be understood, adapted to, and killed.
Possesses superhuman physical strength, resilience, and environmental adaptability. Ineffective against poisons, curses, paralysis, sleep, charm, mental interference, and other abnormal states.
Combat is etched into body and soul. When encountering an enemy, one instinctively senses killing intent, assesses danger, analyzes actions, and quickly develops countermeasures in continuous combat.
True Magic:
[Space God Slayer Magic]
Spatial attribute God Slayer Magic.
It can devour space, spatial True Magic, and divine power attached to space, thereby restoring its own magical power.
It can fold, cut, block, and mark space.
The lowest values of the five basic abilities do not represent Lin Yuan's true strength. Falna will not recalculate his past power; it will only record his new experiences from the moment the sacred characters were inscribed.
After Hestia finished reading the last sentence of [Campione], her fingertips unconsciously left the status sheet.
This skill was not a power she bestowed upon Lin Yuan. On the contrary, it was Falna she granted, which forced him to acknowledge and record a pre-existing fact.
"You really killed a god?"
Lin Yuan looked at the words on the paper. "Falna has already answered for me."
She handed the status sheet to Lin Yuan and then hid the sacred text on the back.
The next day, Hestia brought the proof to the guild and registered Lin Yuan as the first official member of the Familia. The Loki Familia had already provided a guarantee, and the identity verification was not hindered again.
The real problem is the adventurer's level.
"Guild records can only be registered according to Falna level," Eina said. "Therefore, your official profile currently lists you as a Level 1 Adventurer."
"Your registration level is far too different from what the Loki Familia reported," Eina said. "To improve your risk record, I need you to undergo an ability verification tomorrow."
"Can."
After completing the registration, Eina handed the new adventurer's certificate to Lin Yuan. The original temporary certificate was then invalidated.
Hestia was happier than Lin Yuan when she left the guild.
"From this day forward, the Hestia Familia is officially established."
There is only one member.
"Even a member is Familia."
She led Lin Yuan to the Dungeon entrance plaza in front of the Tower of Babel. Adventurers came and went from the tower, and backpacks full of magic stones and loot were transported to the nearby exchange office.
"You're only going to the shallow end today, right?" Hestia asked.
"First, familiarize yourself with the entrance and the shallow roads."
"Be back before dinner."
Lin Yuan looked at her. "Is this the order of the Supreme God?"
It's a promise to live together.
I will come back.
Hestia nodded in satisfaction.
Lin Yuan turned and walked towards the entrance of the Tower of Babel. Just as he stepped onto the first step, a very thin connection suddenly appeared in his spatial perception.
That wasn't magic, nor was it an attack.
Someone is watching him.
The gaze descended from the heights of the Tower of Babel, passing over the crowd in the square, and remained fixed on Lin Yuan. Ordinary people could not find the observer by following the gaze, but Lin Yuan could capture the distance the gaze covered.
He stopped and looked up at the top of the tower.
The upper levels of the Tower of Babel were bathed in sunlight, making it impossible to see behind the windows from the plaza, let alone the person watching him.
Inside the room at the top of the tower, the silver-haired goddess stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
Freya had been casually observing the adventurers entering the Dungeon when her gaze was drawn to a soul she had never seen before.
She could see the color and radiance of the soul, but she couldn't see the inside of Lin Yuan's soul. Layers of sealing marks surrounded the light, as if something was deliberately hiding the core part.
Even more unusually, Lin Yuan actually looked up precisely in line with her gaze.
The two were separated by the height of the Tower of Babel and an impenetrable window, yet their eyes met briefly at that moment.
Freya did not look away, nor did she allow anyone to go down and contact Lin Yuan.
She only remembered that unfamiliar face.
In the plaza, Lin Yuan confirmed that the people at the top of the tower were not hostile for the time being, then turned and walked into the Tower of Babel.
Only after his figure disappeared at the entrance to the Dungeon did the gaze from the top of the tower finally recede.
