Lv.2 in Fourteen Days
The next morning, Hestia brought Lin Yuan's new level record to the guild.
After a deity completes a level-up for a member of their Familia, the level change must be reported to the guild. Skills and True Magic can be concealed, but the level and level-up time must be registered.
Eina took the certificate and the first thing she noticed was the number written below the name.
Lv.2.
She then found the date Lin Yuan registered as an adventurer and placed the two records side by side on the table.
Fourteen days?
"To be precise, the upgrade was completed last night." Hestia put her hands on her hips, her face full of barely suppressed pride. "Lin Yuan only took fourteen days."
Eina did not register immediately, but instead asked the staff member responsible for reviewing the upgrade documents to come.
The Goliath subjugation record has been archived, and the testimonies of the four adventurers are also without issue. Lin Yuan has indeed accomplished a feat sufficient to support his level upgrade, and the level certificate personally submitted by the god is even more impossible to forge.
Fourteen days is still unacceptably short.
Orario's most famous leveling record belongs to Ais Wallenstein of the Loki Familia. It took her a year to level up from Lv.1 to Lv.2.
Lin Yuan shortened the time to fourteen days.
After the audit was completed, the staff member responsible for recording the information repeatedly wrote down the wrong date. Once Hestia left the guild, the news spread like wildfire throughout Orario.
The first to receive the news were not the adventurers, but the gods who were always keeping an eye on the movements of the various Familia.
Some suspected that Hestia had concealed the true time when Lin Yuan accepted the Falna, while others went directly to the guild to verify the evidence of the subjugation. Some even saw the significance behind Lin Yuan's record of defeating Goliath alone on the seventeenth floor.
Before noon, a group of customers had gathered in front of Hestia's potato ball stall.
"Little dwarf, how about you give me Lin Yuan?"
Loki squeezed in front of the stall, his smile utterly insincere, "Our family can pay a hefty transfer fee for you, and also give him the best weapons and expeditionary force."
"Not good at all! Who else is a shorty!"
Hestia placed the freshly fried potato balls heavily in front of her.
"Hestia, if you are willing to rescind the Falna, my Familia can take care of your entire life in the mortal realm from now on," another god immediately offered.
"We can give him a cadre position!"
"I'll provide the weapons, the mansion, and the support personnel!"
"Reject all!"
Hestia spread her arms behind the stall, as if protecting Lin Yuan. Her full breasts were particularly noticeable with the movement, but she herself didn't care, only glaring angrily at every god who tried to take away her first child.
Lin Yuan Hestia Familia because this is where he belongs. No amount of money can take him away!
The gods did not give up.
In the afternoon, when Lin Yuan returned from the Dungeon, he found people already waiting for him on the road leading to the abandoned church. Messengers from different Familia extended invitations one after another, some promising wealth, some promising status, and others claiming they could help him obtain more advanced weapons.
Lin Yuan didn't accept a single letter.
"I have no intention of transferring to another affiliation."
The same answer forced the vast majority of envoys to leave.
The last one remaining was a handsome young man with blond hair. He wore a white cloak and the emblem of the Apollo Familia on his chest.
"I am Hyakinthos Clio," the young man said. "Lord Apollo wishes to invite you to the banquet tomorrow evening."
Why did you invite me?
A flicker of unease crossed Hyakinthos's eyes, but he maintained his politeness. "Lord Apollo appreciates all things dazzling. If you wish to transfer your allegiance, the Apollo Familia can offer you no less than any other Familia."
"Please tell Apollo that I will not leave the Hestia Familia."
Lin Yuan walked past him and went straight into the church.
Hyakinthos stood there, his face gradually darkening.
At the same time, Apollo was sitting on a bench in the Familia mansion, reviewing all the records he could find since Lin Yuan entered Orario.
Returning alone from the thirty-seventh floor, the special assessment exceeded the guild's testing limit, eight days to defeat Goliath, and fourteen days to advance to Lv.2.
Each one is more dazzling than the last.
Apollo closed the record, a mesmerizing smile on his face.
Fourteen days.
He had never seen such a radiant child.
Whether Lin Yuan was willing or not was never a consideration for him.
