As dusk approaches and night falls, the guild headquarters, which looks like a grand temple, is crowded with people.
People gathered in front of the bulletin board, looking at the pieces of parchment posted on it, and got caught up in the commotion that turned the scene into a bustling city.
There are many parchments posted on the bulletin board, but at this moment, the one that attracts the most attention of everyone present is the one posted in the middle, as if even the guild itself is boasting about his achievements and specialness.
The following information is clearly written on the parchment.
【Rig Brighaut】
Affiliation: Loki Familia
Race: human
Age:17
Occupation:Adventurer
Number of floors reached: Floor 17
Confirmed deeds: He was the adventurer who single-handedly defeated the floor leader Goliath on the 17th floor. After one month, he was officially upgraded to level 4 and awarded the title - [Sneak Swordsman].
The pieces of parchment posted on the bulletin board are the adventurer information confirmed by the guild and released to the public.
The title that was decided at the Conference of Gods and finally promulgated was now clearly announced through the operation of the guild and placed in front of everyone's eyes.
But this time, people paid special attention to the most dazzling and concerning person among them. Looking at the parchment posted in the middle of the bulletin board, they began to talk involuntarily.
"Isn't this Rigo Brighaut the rumored newcomer to the Loki Familia?"
"Ju, it really only took a month to get promoted to 4?"
"You also defeated the floor owner alone. Is this a joke?"
"This is news personally approved and released by the Guild. How can it be false?"
"Doesn't that mean that the things that were reported before are also true? This newcomer to the Loki family was just a 1 who had just received the favor more than a month ago?"
"Can anyone really upgrade from 1 to 1 in more than a month?"
"Even [Sword Princess] took a year to upgrade for the first time, but it only took him more than a month, or did she upgrade several levels in a row?"
“I don’t want to believe it”
Each adventurer discussed here with excitement, doubt, consternation, puzzlement, jealousy and disbelief, making the entire guild hall a mess. Even the guild staff couldn't stop it by shouting loudly.
There is an intensifying trend.
"he came!"
It wasn't until a certain moment when an adventurer closer to the door shouted that the crowd lost its noise.
A man walked in from outside and went straight to the bulletin board.
"Is he Reg Brighaut?"
"That newcomer to the Loki Familia"
"You still call me a newcomer?"
"I'm 4 now, and I have an official title."
The crowd lowered their voices and involuntarily moved to both sides to make way for a path.
Li Ge passed through the path made by the crowd and came all the way to the bulletin board, where he saw his information posted on the bulletin board.
"[Cunning Swordsman]?"
Seeing his title, Li Ge's expression became quite subtle.
"That guy Loki, with a mysterious look on his face, asked me to come over and see the title for myself. He also looked very proud. Those who didn't know it thought he had promulgated a very powerful title, but this is the result?"
Anyway, Li Ge didn't see how good this title was at all, and he even didn't know how he was related to such a title.
It’s okay to say that he is a swordsman. He is indeed a swordsman, and he has even developed the ability of a "swordsman". There is no objection to this.
But where is the "cunning" thing about myself?
The sword skills that Li Gegna learned from [Sword Girl] are very orthodox, so they are not associated with the word "cunning", right?
Or do those gods think they are scheming people?
Li Ge was somewhat puzzled.
However, he knew that this title was already considered a good one.
If his memory is correct, then nine out of ten titles born in this so-called conference of gods are used to challenge the shame of others.
Because gods have advanced vision and love entertainment, the titles given by them are generally things that people in the lower world find cool, but modern people find shameful.
Think about Loki, who even used words like Versailles. This shows how advanced the gods' knowledge is in this world.
If Loki hadn't been there to suppress him and prevent the gods from making any mistakes, he would most likely have been given the title of [Wind Sword Saint] or [Fire Wind Sword Emperor].
Compared with this, this so-called [Cunning Swordsman] is already countless times better.
"By the way, Loki seems to be regarded as the god of lies and tricks in mythology?"
Li Ge suddenly reacted.
Could it be that this is where the word "crafty" in your title comes from?
Because he is the child of an evil god who is good at using tricks, he gave himself the title of [Cunning Swordsman]?
"Fine."
Li Ge reluctantly accepted this interpretation.
Seeing that everyone around him was watching and sizing him up, and even some adventurers were staring at him and planning to come forward and say something, Li Ge turned around and left.
It can be seen from the reactions around him that there are only a few people who truly admire him, and most adventurers still have doubts and jealousy towards him, which can be said to be a bad intention.
This is also a matter of course.
It took others several years, even ten or even decades, to finally reach the level, but Li Ge easily reached it in more than a month. How challenging this is to the ugly part of human nature.
, that is conceivable.
Li Ge didn't want to cause trouble, let alone give others a chance to vent, and he had no idea of showing off in front of others and proving his abilities, so he turned and left directly, walked out of the guild headquarters, and turned into a relatively remote alley, planning to take a shortcut
Return to the House of Dusk.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.
"————!"
Li Ge suddenly stopped and frowned.
A feeling as if he was being spied on crept into his heart, causing a chill to creep up on the back of his neck.
"who?"
Li Ge stood there silently, and then spoke coldly after a while.
"snort."
The next second, a cold snort appeared in the dark alley.
Li Ge suddenly turned around and looked at a shadow.
I saw, in the shadow, a figure covered in black robes appeared silently.
"Are you the [Cunning Swordsman]?"
A voice mixed with deep displeasure and even disgust came from the person's mouth, extremely deep.
""
Li Ge didn't make any answer, he just put his hand on the sword at his waist and stared at the visitor.
This appearance made the visitor's voice become even more unhappy and full of disgust.
"Let me ask you, are all the people in Loki's family like this, not even understanding the most basic manners?"
These words only earned Li Ge a cold look.
"Politeness is reserved for people who are also polite." Li Ge said expressionlessly: "Do you think you are polite?"
"Oh?" The man in black sneered and said, "The mouth is quite sharp, but I don't know if the sword you are about to pull out is also the same?"
As he spoke, the man in black raised a hand.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, black shadows jumped down from the walls in all directions, came to Li Ge, and surrounded him.
They were also wearing black robes and their faces could not be seen clearly.
However, the moment they landed, these attackers in black robes rushed towards Li Ge and launched an attack on Li Ge.
"choke!"
Li Ge immediately drew his sword.
The men in black who were attacking also came in an instant. Except for some who stayed behind, the rest pulled out their weapons from under their black robes and attacked Li Ge.
All of a sudden, various weapons such as knives, spears, swords, halberds, etc. were either raised or swung down by the men in black, attacking Lige from all angles.
This all-round attack did not leave even a gap for Li Ge, making it almost impossible for Li Ge to dodge and could only choose to parry.
And this also told Li Ge that the attackers were not a ragtag group.
Judging from their coordinated offensive, these people have been fighting together for several years and have developed enough tacit understanding.
Their strength is also impressive and they are definitely not ordinary adventurers.
2's third level adventurer?
No! These people must be at least Level 3 adventurers!
As this idea flashed through his mind, Li Ge moved.
"call!"
Accompanied by a whistling wind, Li Ge's figure was blurred, and he rushed in front of a man in black who had not had time to get close. The sharp sword in his hand turned into silver light, and he was merciless.
Cut out.
"Qiang!"
The man in black was horrified, and he raised his weapon in a panic to block the oncoming slash, but was knocked back by the astonishing impact carried by it.
Li Ge didn't feel any pity. Instead, he accelerated again, leaving behind the attacker who was knocked back by his blow, and rushed towards the person next to him.
"Qiang!" "Qiang!" "Qiang!" "Qiang!"
After a while, a series of clashing sounds appeared together.
Li Ge, who turned into a gust of wind, moved at a high speed, his figure flashing back and forth like a ghost, and the thin sword in his hand was slashed out frequently, causing the sword light to slash at the intruders without any explanation, and all of them who had set up their weapons to block them were killed.
Bounce.
It sounds complicated, but in fact, the entire process takes less than two seconds.
Within two seconds, Li Ge relied on his astonishing speed and sword skills to not only break the coordination of the attackers, but also force them all back.
"What!?"
"So strong!"
"is that a lie?"
"Is this still 4!?"
The attackers were shocked.
Let alone them, the leading man in black, who was leaning against the wall and staying in the shadows with his arms folded, shrank his pupils and smacked his lips in annoyance.
"Damn it, what kind of newly upgraded 4 is this?"
This is clearly the top of 4, a veteran who is not inferior to even the top.
Among the attackers who surrounded Lige, there were also several 4-level masters.
As a result, these people joined forces, but were forced back in a back and forth?
"Fuck me!"
The man in black in the shadow made a annoyed sound.
"I want to see how capable this guy is."
Hearing this, the attackers suppressed their surprises and rushed towards Li Ge again.
Seeing this, Li Ge's eyes flashed with a cold light.
