Chapter 348 Don’t Even Think About Kidnapping Our Ai Si Tan!
After collecting the magic stone dropped by Barol into the storage space he had opened, Luke did not continue to go deeper into the dungeon, but chose to return to Orario.
The lower floors are not invincible.
But there is no point.
Great deeds are one-time "consumables". Now that defeating Barol alone is enough to complete the great deeds, Luke is not very interested in exploring the dungeon.
This place has a great connection with the gods.
From Luke's perspective, this place is either the body of a fallen god in heaven, or something created by a god of fun himself.
In the deepest part of the dungeon, the smell of the gods is almost overflowing.
Although it is not consistent with the breath of the gods, Luke can guess the true identity of this guy.
Luke is not interested in getting involved in the "play" of the gods. He came here just to upgrade.
By the way, try the weapons made by Hephaestus.
...
After coming out of the dungeon, Luke first went to the guild to exchange the magic stone for Fari.
In this world, magic stone can actually be regarded as a universal energy source.
Magic stone is processed by human technology and used in various aspects - such as ignition devices, freezers for preserving food, etc., so it is regarded as a precious resource.
The guild will send people to export this magic stone product to other countries to make huge profits.
In a sense, the richest family in Orario is neither the logistics family like Hephaestus, nor the two strongest adventurer families, the Freya family and the Loki family.
It is the guild led by the great god Uranus.
The operating expenses of the entire guild only account for a small part of the overall income.
After all, the people in the guild do not need to go to the dungeon to adventure, nor do they have the ability to create adventurer weapons and potions.
Most of the work they are responsible for is more clerical.
Even the processing of magic stone technology is basically just assembly line operation, without much technology, ordinary people are enough.
If all the wealth accumulated by the guild over the years were taken out, it would probably be enough to arm the entire Orario from head to toe.
Even if the one-eyed black dragon really walked out of the dungeon one day.
With the foundation of the guild, it can temporarily delay for a while.
Don't underestimate this period of time. As long as the creatures in the lower world can be given a chance to fight back, the creatures in the lower world will bring unprecedented surprises to the gods.
This has been the case for thousands of years.
For the creatures in the lower world, after dozens or hundreds of years, most of them have become accustomed to walking on the tightrope on the edge of the world's destruction.
Obviously weak, obviously should have perished among the monsters long ago, but repeatedly trapped in desperate situations, they can always bloom dazzling miracles.
This is the "old-fashioned drama" that the gods in the heavens have never felt bored for thousands of years.
"Mr. Luke, is it still 80% as usual?"
Luke nodded.
Aina had a sweet smile on her face.
She is the service window lady of the guild and also Luke's personal adventurer consultant.
The guild will arrange adventurer consultants for new adventurers. Adventurer consultants will make suggestions on exploration according to the actual situation of adventurers, provide corresponding information and warn which areas are dangerous, etc. One adventurer consultant will be responsible for multiple new adventurers.
Most adventurer consultants are employed after passing the student assessment of the [school district].
Aegina is one of them.
And she is also the best among them. She is a famous talented woman who graduated from the [school district]. She once passed the [comprehensive theology] course with a pass rate of less than 10% in the [school district].
After graduation, Aegina is also very popular among male adventurers and male colleagues because of her sweet appearance and good figure.
She is the most popular employee in the guild, and even caused many adventurers to quarrel in pursuit of her.
But these are all things that happened a few days ago.
When Luke showed amazing strength, she was urgently transferred to become Luke's personal adventurer consultant.
You can do the work at the front desk or not.
But the salary not only did not decrease, but increased several times.
As for the reason?
It was just a sentence from the guild manager Royman Madiel: "Don't delay the growth of the 'hero' in trivial matters."
Of course, the most important reason is that in their entire adventurer guild, the only one who can be related to Luke is Aegina.
When Luke was forced into a desperate situation by the leader of the Istar clan, he once tried to go to the dungeon to train as a mortal.
It does not mean that the creatures in the lower world cannot become stronger without carving grace.
Grace is just a blessing from God that guides potential. Its function is to stimulate the potential in the adventurer's body more easily through training and adventure.
For example, it takes others decades to improve themselves to the bottleneck period where there is no progress, but after having grace, a few years is enough to touch the limit.
Moreover, they can break through their own shackles by completing great deeds.
So if someone really does not have a carving grace, training for more than ten years can indeed be comparable to Lv.1 adventurers.
At the beginning, Luke entered the dungeon without carving grace and took a risk. After all, even ordinary people without training can kill the monsters in the first few floors of the dungeon in a one-on-one situation if they muster up the courage.
Be careful. If he has enough potential, he can hone his strength to be no less than that of a Lv.1 adventurer, which can make the gods more or less interested in him.
At that time, he may be able to join a clan and get the blessing of the main god.
At that time, Luke was assigned by the guild as an adventurer consultant, Aegina.
Aegina strongly opposed Luke's idea of entering the dungeon to adventure without any favor.
After working in the guild for a few years, she has seen too many new adventurers enter the dungeon with high enthusiasm, and then be carried out of the dungeon with broken arms and legs.
Finally, the file ceremony was lifted, and he had no choice but to leave Orario and return to his hometown to live a lonely life.
This is the treatment that only lucky new adventurers can enjoy.
More often, they did not even leave their bodies behind, and died quietly in a corner of the dungeon.
It's not that Aegina didn't persuade him.
But she couldn't persuade him.
After all, the adventurer consultant is just an adventurer consultant. She is not a senior of the same clan, nor is she an experienced adventurer.
With the arrogant temper of the new adventurer, how could they be willing to listen to the advice of an ordinary person?
After all, those who can be engraved with grace and join the clan are all "people recognized by the gods".
Because of this, new adventurers will be more or less arrogant.
Some arrogant people will not even meet Aina, the adventurer consultant, after engraving the grace, and rush into the dungeon with a novice iron sword.
Then they become the goblin's lunch.
Precisely because of the dangers of the dungeon that she has seen over the years, Aina will never agree to Luke going to the dungeon.
After staying in Orario for a few months, the Ista clan gave up because they couldn't find anyone.
After all, they can't waste too much time for an ordinary person.
The main job of a battle whore is to fight, not to be a whore.
In Orario, everything is still based on strength.
Moreover, most of the Istar Familia had a bad impression of the leader, Fryni Jamil. She had made several men she liked crippled, and therefore few men dared to approach the [Street of Night] Palace, causing the surrounding members to dislike her very much.
If Fryni was not powerful and the main god Istar had specifically requested this, they would not have "found a man" for that stupid pig Fryni.
Expecting them to do their best is more difficult than Istar giving up trouble for Freya.
So as long as they persist for a few months, when Fryni takes a fancy to other handsome men, she will naturally choose to give up chasing Luke.
At that time, Aina analyzed the matter clearly for Luke, and even lent Luke some of her own savings, which were not much, and advised Luke not to be anxious and wait a little longer.
If it really didn't work, she could also apply to the higher authorities to invite Luke to join the guild.
Protecting Luke in the name of the guild, even the Istar Familia would not do anything to him at that time.
The gods still have some respect for Uranus, the great god who suppressed the dungeon with his divine power, and they will give him some "face" more or less.
After all, this old man fought his way out of the game of gods in heaven.
Uranus's style is much stronger than Zeus, who is also a great god - although it is just because the old man wants to save face.
It is also because of Aegina's help that Luke was able to survive under the noses of the Istar family for nearly two months until the arrival of the foggy space.
The guild also catered to her wishes and specially transferred Aegina to serve as Luke's personal adventurer consultant.
Because of this incident, there are still many adventurers complaining.
After all, Aegina is very popular in the guild, and many adventurers have ideas about Aegina.
Of course, all these complaints were thrown into the trash by the guild.
If you have the ability, you can complain here, but if you don't have the ability, you can go to the hero to settle the account.
He deserves to be stuck at Lv.1 and Lv.2 for his whole life. If he doesn't even have this bit of spirit, how can he have the determination to accomplish great deeds?
"Do you need to update the map information?"
Aegina continued to ask.
In the whole of Orario, there are only three people who know Luke's current adventurer level. To be precise, there are two gods and one person.
Hestia, Uranus, and Aegina.
In just a few days, he upgraded from Lv.1 adventurer to Lv.7.
This speed is impossible even for gods.
With Luke's current adventurer level, he is not thinking about growth, but exploration.
With his current strength, he is fully capable of exploring the deep areas of the dungeon alone.
In fact, Luke did this. Every time he came back from the dungeon, Luke would update some map information of the forty or fifty floors.
"No, not this time."
Today he went straight to the main floor and didn't wander around downstairs at all, so naturally he didn't need to update the information.
"Okay, I wish you a safe journey."
Aegina bowed.
Luke waved his hand and turned away.
For a private adventurer consultant like Aegina, not only would the guild provide a large amount of compensation, but Luke would also add a few percent of the Faris he earned through magic stones every year to Aegina's salary.
Now she only needed to provide Luke with the best consulting services wholeheartedly.
This also enabled Aegina to spend a lot of money to invite a pharmacist and a god of medicine for her mother who was seriously ill in bed at home. Her mother's health is gradually getting better.
Unfortunately, if Luke was just an ordinary person before, her little idea would still have hope of success.
But now...
Aegina shook her head slightly.
On the road of heroes, princesses, queens, first-level adventurers, and even goddesses would want to get close to him.
As an ordinary half-elf, she probably can only stand in the guild and watch him...
"Aegina! How about we go to Panlu Liuyanming on South Street? I heard that it is a shop opened by the gods who came down from heaven recently!"
Misha with pink curly hair hugged Aegina's waist.
"Oh my god, Misha, let go first, I still have work..."
"Hehe, the people you are waiting for have left, get off work!"
Misha smiled, but her beautiful face revealed a kind of obscene meaning.
Obviously, she, Aegina's best friend, had already discovered that Aegina had some unspeakable thoughts about a "hero" who suddenly appeared.
Aegina blushed slightly, and she was somewhat helpless and wanted to pull Misha off, saying:
"I don't understand what you mean..."
The two of them were playing and fighting, and at the service window, I don't know when the card flipping became a break.
...
Loki has been very irritable recently.
The reason is probably because a little dwarf who is annoying to God has inexplicably got a hero.
Of course, if it is just this point, Loki will feel a little worried at most.
But she believes that with the potential of the "children" in her family, not to mention being able to be compared with heroes, even if all the heroes grow up, they may not be able to do anything to Loki's family.
The same is true for Freya, the slutty goddess. That ruthless woman is even more powerful than Loki.
No matter how fast a hero grows and how high his upper limit is, it takes a certain amount of time.
At least within a year, this hero cannot grow to the point where he can fight against the strongest Familia in Orario alone.
With Ota's qualifications, it is a sure thing that he can upgrade from Lv.7 to Lv.8 within a year.
Ota has been stuck at Lv.7 for a long time.
The reason why he didn't break through before was because there was no pressure from above. When the Hera Familia and Zeus Familia ruled Orario, Ota's growth rate was quite amazing under the huge pressure.
The Lv.9 "Queen" of the Hera Familia defeated Ota and told him that she would let Ota be her husband in ten years. She also valued Ota's potential at that time.
But now, the gap of Orario's strong men has caused Ota to be unable to feel the pressure, and his growth rate has naturally slowed down.
So much so that he has failed to challenge the floor master Barol of the same level.
Luke's appearance is a threat to them.
But at the same time, it is also an opportunity to stimulate the rapid growth of the Familia.
Loki and Freya know too well how powerful Zeus and Hera were back then.
They were one of the victims of these two families.
If it weren't for the failure of the crusade against the black dragon, who knows how many years the Hera and Zeus families would have ruled Orario.
Loki and Freya don't want Zeus and his family to come back, but if their families can grow into the future "Zeus family" and "Hera family" under Luke's pressure.
They will definitely agree with it.
However, the real point is...
"Don't even think about kidnapping our Ai Si Tan!!!" (End of this chapter)
