"It's not that justice has abandoned you, but that you have abandoned justice?"
Hearing what Wood said, Lyu suddenly felt as if she had been struck by lightning. And at this moment, because of Wood's words, Lyu seemed to understand the meaning of what Goddess Astralia said to her.
"Abandon justice!" does not mean that you have been abandoned by the goddess of justice, but that you should abandon your original rigid justice and keep your heart to do truly righteous things!
"If you can wake up, it means there should be nothing serious.
My idiot son remembered to run around when he carried you back."
Looking at Wood in front of him, Lyu originally wanted to say something, but when another figure walked into the room, Lyu immediately became extremely vigilant.
In the past few years, she has lived completely in revenge and pursuit, and she is very keen on catching the breath, and Lyu can clearly feel that the middle-aged woman who just walked in gave her a very dangerous feeling!
Not only is the opponent an adventurer, but his level may be much higher than hers!
"Wood, please go out first. I have something to discuss with this injured elf sister."
The rebellious Wood originally wanted to refuse Mia's words because he was very curious about what kind of adventurer Liu was and wanted to hear some adventure stories from him.
However, before he could speak, the next second he was easily lifted up by Mia and kicked out of the door.
"If I'm not mistaken, you should be "Wind Leon" who has become quite famous in Orario recently.
My idiot son probably thought he had picked up an ordinary adventurer, but he probably never imagined that the elf sister he was talking about was a big shot with a bounty of 80 million mana, right?"
After hearing what Mia said, Lyu, who was seriously injured, managed to straighten up and hold the sword on the bedside.
"If you want to take me to the guild in exchange for the bounty, that's fine. After all, this life was originally saved by you.
But before that, I have a request, that is, I hope that I can wait until my body recovers. At that time, I will not choose to resist, but will go to the guild to accept the trial obediently with you.
And if you don’t agree to my request, then even if I risk my life, I won’t let you get any benefit from me!”
Mia was also stunned when she heard Liu's determined look. She also heard the previous conversation between Wood and Liu outside the door. She was quite puzzled as to why someone who didn't care about life a second ago was now doing so.
, but suddenly had such a strong desire to survive.
"I want to know why you do it to this extent. You just gave people the impression that you still don't care about your own life.
No, even now, I can see from your eyes that you don’t care about how you will be treated when you get to the guild, and you don’t even want to be beaten to death. If that’s the case, then why do you..."
"Because that child didn't want me to die like this! He thought he had done a just thing by saving me!
I don’t want to obliterate that child’s justice, so even if I just barely survive, I must survive in front of him now!”
Before Mia could finish her words, she was interrupted by an excited Lyu, and looking at his serious attitude, Mia didn't think he was joking.
"It seems that the rumors are indeed true. The people who are affiliated with the goddess Astraea are all truly righteous people.
Even "Wind Leon" whose hands are stained with blood still exists like this.
You can rest assured that I have no intention of handing you over to the guild, because that would make my son sad.
And through the conversation just now, I am convinced that you are not the heinous criminal that is rumored outside."
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Mia Gradu. I used to be an adventurer, but I have retired now.
Currently, you are the owner of this "Hostess of Plenty" pub, and we are currently recruiting waiters. I wonder if you are interested in staying and working here?"
After hearing Mia's words, Lyu, who was originally extremely wary of Mia, was stunned on the spot because she had never thought of it.
The other party actually did not drive me away or hand him over to the guild, but planned to take him in and let him work here.
"Why?" Regarding Mia's behavior, this time it was Lyu's turn to be confused.
"I said before that if I drive you away or hand you over to the guild, my idiot son will start trouble with me again.
As for my previous attitude, it was just a test for you. After all, no matter what you say, you are still a wanted person.
It is impossible for me to let you stay without confirming your safety, after all, it involves the safety of my son."
Hearing Mia's explanation, Lyu showed a look of surprise on his face, but he quickly said: "You are probably not his real mother.
Although you are tall and tall, I can tell that you are a small human being, while that child is an ordinary human being."
Regarding what Lyu said, Mia was not angry, and said very calmly: "Wood is sure that I am not his biological son, but that I picked him up at the entrance of the dungeon.
But so what, we have lived together for so many years, and I have long regarded him as my real child.
Moreover, that child Wood has been very smart since he was a child, so he should have known these things for a long time.
He will bring you injured back to the store. I think to a large extent, it is because he thinks that he was saved in this way in the past, right?"
In fact, there is one thing that Mia did not say, that is, Mia would choose to take in Lyu, and the main reason is also because of this.
"Then tell me your answer, Gale Leon, are you planning to leave after recovering from your injuries, or are you planning to stay and become a part of us?"
Hearing Mia's question again, Lyu was silent for a moment, and then continued: "Since you are not related to the child by blood, you can also be his mother.
Then I also want to stay and become his family. Lady Astralia has left Orario, and now I want to protect the remaining justice!"
Because of this, Lyu cut her original long blond hair short from that day on, and dyed her hair color from blond to green.
Since then, Orario has lost a much-talked-about hero "Wind Leon", but the "Plenty Hostess" shop has gained a beautiful clerk who is unsmiling and can even burn the sandwiches when cooking.
"Miss Liu, you are truly the strongest and most handsome female adventurer I have ever seen!"
Because Lyu was anxious to find Wood on the deep floor, she led Bell quickly along the way.
Seeing all the monsters he encountered along the way being killed instantly by Liu, Bell, who was following Liu, was completely dumbfounded and let out a heartfelt cry of admiration.
This is not flattery or anything, but looking at the various monsters that were instantly killed by Lyu with one sword, Bell really felt that Lyu was quite awesome.
He was just chasing after Lyu. Just running had consumed all his strength. However, Lyu not only maintained a posture with ease, he even had the energy to pick up the magic stones on the ground while killing monsters.
.
As early as a few years ago, after completing her revenge, Lyu's level had been raised to LV4. Although she has not updated her abilities since then, her strength and skills are known as the peak of Lv.4.
Moreover, Lyu also possesses the highly difficult parallel chanting technique, which allows her to perform the four actions of attacking, moving, evading, and chanting at the same time. Her skill proficiency can even surpass that of the deputy leader of the Loki Familia, known as the "Nine Demons"
Riveria.
"Just the strongest 'female adventurer' you've ever seen, not an adventurer?"
From previous exchanges, Lyu also knew that Bell, like Wood, had only accepted the favor of the gods to become an adventurer yesterday. Even Bell had come from a city outside Orario. There should be only a handful of high-level adventurers he had ever seen.
It’s only right to count.
Lyu didn't dare to be arrogant enough to compete with the top group of adventurers in Orario, but she was actually quite confident in her own strength.
But she didn't expect that Bell, who had just arrived in Orario not long ago, would actually meet a stronger adventurer than him.
"Well, although in terms of strength, I should still be considered a rookie, I should still have basic judgment.
Miss Liu, you are very strong, but I think you are not as good as the leader."
Lyu, who was originally expressionless, almost swung his sword away when he heard what Bell said at this moment. Then he looked at Bell with a confused face and said: "Captain? You mean Wood, you mean
Is Wood's strength even stronger than what I look like now?"
No wonder Lyu wasn't surprised, because Bell's answer really surprised him, and he didn't even expect such an answer.
"Yes, in fact, the leader is very strong. Even Lord God said that there are probably not many beings in Orario who can compare with the leader."
Bell had seen Wood fight before. Lyu's strength was indeed very strong, even much stronger than the Amazon sisters of Loki's family.
That's why Bell said that Lyu was the "strongest female adventurer" he had ever seen.
However, Lyu's strength is stronger than that of the Amazon sisters, but in Bell's opinion, it is still not as strong as Wood. That's why Bell came to the conclusion just now.
"Could it be that the speed Wood showed last night was not his special skills or abilities, but his own strength..."
Seeing the serious look on Bell's face, Liu suddenly remembered how Wood avoided her and Aniya in the store last night.
Before, they had always thought that it was magic or special skills used by Wood, but now it seems that is not the case.
"No matter what, let's find Wood first. He only has the map of floors 1-12, so he shouldn't be able to run too far."
Lyu was glad that she had confiscated the mid-level map from Wood before, so she was sure that Wood couldn't run very far now.
Even if Wood has the ability to penetrate deep into the middle of the dungeon, without a map, the advancement speed will naturally be slow. And with the map, it is only a matter of time before they catch up with Wood.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Wood, who originally turned on the random killing state on the twelfth floor, soon faced a very serious problem.
That's because his killing speed is too fast, and the refreshing speed of floor monsters can no longer keep up with his killing speed.
The occurrence of such a situation was something Wood did not expect, and facing the current situation, Wood could only think of two solutions.
Either go deep into the thirteenth floor and continue to spawn monsters on a new floor, or go back to the eleventh floor and spawn monsters in the same way.
After a brief hesitation between the two options, Wood finally chose to return to the eleventh floor of the dungeon.
The reason is very simple. Judging from the strength of the monsters on the twelfth floor, the monsters on the thirteenth floor are probably not threatening to them.
But if you don’t have a map in your hand, there may be many restrictions on your activities.
And seeing that the time was almost up, Wood was also worried that Lyu and Bell would push to the lower floors. If Lyu knew that he did not stay on the first to fifth floors as agreed, then he would definitely be scolded.
It's inevitable.
So Wood, who returned to the eleventh floor from the twelfth floor, quickly followed the method of killing the black wolf on the twelfth floor, and started his own monster spawning business, and in a very short period of time, he
The eleventh floor was completely penetrated.
Soon, the monsters on the eleventh floor went from being numerous in number to being endangered by Wood.
After the monsters on the eleventh floor were cleared, Wood began to advance upward to the tenth floor. When others came to the dungeon, they would advance from top to bottom.
But when it comes to Wood, it's better. This guy directly switches to strategy and advancement from bottom to top.
And as long as the adventurers who enter his floor after him will be shocked to find that the number of monsters on these floors is extremely rare, there are even only a few here and there.
Many adventurers even thought that something unknown had happened in the dungeon.
On Wood's side, he was killing one floor after another, and kept pushing upwards. On the other hand, Lyu and Bell were also pushing forward to the floors below at an extremely fast speed.
And the two of them finally met on the eighth floor of the underground...
No, to be more precise, Wood should have arrived at the eighth floor first, and when Lyu and Bell arrived later, they saw Wood in battle.
"Is this monster a goblin? Why does its body and appearance look completely different from other goblins!"
When Lyu and Bell found Wood, Wood was fighting a huge green-skinned monster.
Judging from the opponent's skin and appearance, the opponent should indeed be a goblin. However, compared to the goblins they encountered along the way, it was really difficult for Bell to distinguish the huge creature in front of Wood from the so-called goblin.
I'm linked together.
According to the monster information they bought at the square, Goblin is one of the monsters on the eighth floor underground. He is only about one to one meter tall, has a cunning personality and lives in groups.
