In the evening, the setting sun made the shadows long and thin. Groups of adventurers walked out of the entrance to the dungeon. Some had joyful expressions on their faces. It could be seen that their harvest was good. Injured adventurers, it can be clearly seen that their crowd is much smaller than when they entered the dungeon in the morning.
At this moment, a group of adventurers composed entirely of women came out of the dungeon entrance. Although many of them had wounds on their bodies, they had extremely determined expressions on their faces, not caring about their injuries at all. Injury.
This group of beings who were completely different from other adventurer teams also attracted the attention of other adventurers. They all turned their heads and looked over. But the strange thing was that the guys who usually love talking the most talked about these female adventurers. Their expressions changed greatly, and they hurriedly lowered their heads and walked towards the distance, not daring to stay any longer.
After all, in the time since the emergence of this team composed entirely of female adventurers, many adventurers who love to talk and even plan to take action have paid a bloody price.
Bang!~
"Sister Tiya, what's wrong with you?"
At this time, the little Loli Ellie in the team was walking forward with a big sword on her shoulder. She suddenly felt that she hit something. She quickly raised her head and found Tia who was standing in front of her, her little face full of doubts. asked.
But at this time, Tiya didn't pay attention to the little loli behind her. She just covered her face with her hands, tears falling drop by drop, and her beautiful big eyes stared at the figure not far away.
"Sister, sister Tia, what's going on?"
Beside, another little loli, Irene, ran over carrying the same sword as her sister, staring curiously at Tia's slightly trembling back in front of her. You must know that even today, when she was besieged by many monsters, Tia There was no fear at all, and he even dared to rush in alone.
But now it looks like this, which shocked the little loli Erin.
"I don't know, let me take a look."
Ellie shook her little head at her sister, then turned her head and looked forward from Tia's side. The next second, the little loli's big eyes lit up, and she didn't even want her favorite big sword in her hand. He threw it in his footsteps and rushed out, jumping into the arms of a man in the surprised eyes of many adventurers.
"Who is that person? He can actually turn that bloodthirsty person into like this?"
A new adventurer raised his head and looked at his captain. He had seen the bloodthirsty person fighting from a distance. It was completely inconsistent with her little lolita appearance. The heavy sword in his hand was as if it were nothing. Groups of monsters were chopped into pieces as she laughed wildly.
"That's because he's back!"
The werewolf leader looked at the man not far away, with short black hair and a somewhat familiar face. The next second the werewolf leader's pupils shrank, he had already remembered the man's identity, and quickly turned his head, not daring to look at him. Over there, he forcibly took his companions with him and left in a hurry.
There are several other adventurer groups just like them. If you observe carefully at this time, you will find that their bodies that are leaving quickly are still shaking, and their pupils are filled with unconcealable fear. The reason why they are like this All because they had conflicts with Tia and the others in the dungeon.
"Brother Qiming, when did you come back?"
At this time, Ellie, who was lying in Lu Qiming's arms, did not notice the leaving adventurers at all. She just hugged Lu Qiming with both hands, her big eyes full of happiness.
"You just came back today, but Ellie, you little guy has changed a lot in the past year!"
Lu Qiming gently stroked Ellie's hair with a faint smile on his face. Lu Qiming had noticed those adventurers leaving in a hurry. Combined with the murderous aura wrapped around the little guy Ellie, it was probably
Guessed something.
However, Lu Qiming didn't want to worry about it. Anyway, they were just some adventurers whose highest level was no more than Level 2. With Ellie's Level 3 strength, she wasn't going to kill them casually.
Then, Lu Qiming let go of the little Lolita in his hand and raised his head to look at Sister Tiya and Sister Anya who had appeared from nowhere, looking at these two people who had had "heart-to-heart" conversations with him countless times.
The eldest sister's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
"Sister Anya, Sister Tiya, and everyone, long time no see!"
"Qiming!"
"You brat, you are finally willing to come back. You miss me so much!"
Tia looked at Lu Qiming who was walking away step by step in front of her. She couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged Lu Qiming gently. Anya who was beside her walked over and stood on tiptoes to pat Lu Qiming's shoulder, but from her tearful expression
In her eyes, it can be seen that her inner self is nothing like what she shows.
"It's Lord Qiming!"
"It's really Lord Qiming, he's really back!"
At the back, the group of young ladies who had been rescued by Lu Qiming from the scum family finally reacted and rushed forward to surround Lu Qiming.
"Well! I'm back. I've worked hard for you during this period."
Lu Qiming looked at the people around him. Before he came, Lu Qiming had already learned from Hestia what happened after he left. At first, when Lu Qiming just left, due to his original reputation, many adventurers from the Familia did not dare to
What to do to Tia and the others?
But Lu Qiming did not show up for several consecutive months, and Orlila gradually began to have rumors that Lu Qiming had died deep in the dungeon. Even most adventurers at that time believed in this rumor. After all, in this adventure-themed world
In the city, new adventurers are born every day, and there are also adventurers who die in the dungeon.
Later, people from the Loki Familia and gods came out to testify that Lu Qiming did not die but only left. This matter was only learned by many adventurers in Orlila.
But it is precisely because of this that all the adventurers have confirmed that Lu Qiming is not in the Hestia Familia. In addition, Tia and the others are all beauties of all kinds, and the leader Bell is still a weakling who has just reached LV2.
, even famous for being gentle (weak) and soft (chicken).
Therefore, Tia and the others at that time were teased by many fearless adventurers every time before entering the dungeon. Many adventurers in the dungeon even wanted to forcibly capture a few for a taste and then sell them to them.
Huajie makes a lot of money, after all, human traffickers don't spend a lot of effort to catch some ordinary 'goods'.
But later, more and more adventurers discovered that every time the adventurers who wanted to attack Tiya and the others would never leave after entering the dungeon, many adventurers even looked for those adventurers out of curiosity.
However, they only saw debris covering the ground in the dungeon. From their clothes and mutilated faces, they could recognize that those people were all missing adventurers.
Moreover, Tia and the others, who were the protagonists, returned to Orlila from the dungeon one by one. At most, many of the members suffered a lot of injuries, and it was obvious that the wounds could not be caused by the minions of monsters.
That's why when Orila mentioned the Hestia Familia, not many people knew about Bell as the group leader, and even the people who knew about it only looked up at him because Bell was the fastest to upgrade to a Lv2 adventurer.
But in fact, what should be looked down upon is still looked down upon.
In the eyes of many adventurers in Orlila, the members of the Hestia Familia are actually members of the Hestia Familia who have gained their reputation through fighting. Even the adventurers who do not mind the trouble have even given them various awards.
title.
"By the way, Qiming, where is Lord Shangshen?"
At this time, Tia, who had let go of Lu Qiming, looked behind Lu Qiming. After not finding Hestia, she looked up at Lu Qiming and asked, with a dignified and serious expression on her face.
"Master Shangshen is in the family. Sister Tiya, do you have anything to do with Master Shangshen?"
"In the Familia, Qiming, we have to go back to the Familia as soon as possible. Some strange things happened in the underground city today. I want to report it to Lord Shangshen."
Tia looked back at the entrance of the dungeon with a solemn expression. When they were hunting monsters in the middle level of the dungeon today, they suddenly felt a loud noise coming from the dungeon, and then the entire dungeon began to shake violently. At that time, Tia and the others even almost
I thought the entire underground city was going to collapse.
But fortunately, the underground city they were in later was fine after only a few walls collapsed. However, when the shaking stopped, they still vaguely heard an extremely angry roar. Tia, who noticed the change in the underground city, made an immediate decision.
Let everyone evacuate the middle level of the dungeon.
What shocked Tia the most was that when they evacuated the middle level of the dungeon, they encountered a group of strange monsters. The group of monsters was composed entirely of various monsters from the upper and middle levels, and they even wore adventurer equipment.
At that time, the two sides met in a passage returning to the upper level. After noticing that the monsters on the opposite side were different from the usual monsters, Tia stopped everyone behind her from taking action immediately out of caution, and planned to observe the strange monsters on the opposite side first.
.
And at that moment, something unbelievable happened to Tiya. Among the monsters on the opposite side, a lizard man holding two swords walked out and stopped the other monsters. Then he raised his head and looked at Tiya and the others. Although the other party did not speak, he
The pair of eyes full of wisdom still allowed Tia to understand the other person's consciousness.
Although Tia instinctively did not want to believe that the monsters in the dungeon could have intelligence at the time, she decided to take a gamble for the safety of her companions, and left there peacefully while both parties were vigilant.
After that, Tia and the others safely left the middle level. On their way back to the entrance of the dungeon, while everyone was discussing what happened before, Tia noticed an adventurer walking past them. Although his whole body was covered in robes, he
Even his face was hidden by the big hat.
But the careful Tia still felt that the figure was Bell, the leader of her family. Just when Tia was about to call that person to confirm, the other party seemed to know her thoughts and accelerated directly and disappeared into the passage in front of her, and that was
The special running method made Tia sure that the person was Bell.
In short, too many things happened today, so much that Tia had a bad premonition and even planned not to go to the dungeon for the time being. Anyway, with their usual accumulation, it would be no problem to take a rest for half a year.
"I probably know something strange. Let's go back to the family first."
After saying that, Lu Qiming didn't care about Sister Tiya who was stunned in front of him. After all, everything that happened in the dungeon today had something to do with him, but it was not the place to talk now. He would still talk to Tiya after going to the family.
Sister, they have explained it well.
"Um."
Tia looked at the many adventurers not far away who were watching from a distance and nodded. This is really not the place to talk. After all, there is something wrong with the weird monsters and Bell who entered the dungeon alone.
atmosphere of.
Instinctively, Tia felt that these two things must be related. After all, Tia and the others knew very well about the character of the leader of their clan. It was precisely because they knew Bell's character that Tia would carry these things alone.
The girl who was rescued by them ventured into the dungeon alone.
After all, with Bell's so-called gentle character, although the scumbag adventurers in front of him would repel them, he would definitely not kill them. He would even think about which scumbags would change their ways after being repelled by him.
But how could Tia, who once worked alone and even owned several 'tea shops' in Orila, not know the character of those scumbags? It is simply impossible for them to repent. They will only escape after escaping.
I will come back with more vicious methods next time.
So the only way to stop these scum is to kill them until they are frightened, until they are extinct and no one dares to pay attention to them anymore!
"Let's go!"
Lu Qiming glanced at the silent Sister Tia in front of him, turned around and walked towards the headquarters of the Hestia Familia. The people behind him also quickly followed. Ellie, who had thrown down her sword before, saw this and quickly ran back to throw hers away.
He picked up the precious weapon, put it on his shoulder after a few blows, and followed him.
After a while, in the brightly lit Hestia Family Hall, Hestia sat in the main seat and looked at Tia, who was describing what happened today to her, and on the side, Yakumo Murasaki and others looked on their faces.
With an interested smile.
In this entire afternoon, they had learned about the general information about this world. Even with Murasaki Yakumo, a voyeur, they even learned a lot of secrets hidden by the Familia.
"Tia, you said that when you came back, you encountered a monster that seemed to have intelligence, and Bell who entered the dungeon alone?"
"Well, do you already know these things, Lord God?"
Looking at Hestia who was not surprised at all, as if she had known all this for a long time, Tia couldn't help but ask.
"Well! Do you still remember the child that Bell brought back to the family not long ago?"
Hestia nodded and looked at them. At that time, due to the great work of Ellie and Ellie who needed to upgrade from Lv2 to Lv3, they were all in the dungeon. When they came back, Winnie was already there.
After being sent away, Tia and the others only learned about Winnie's existence from Haruhime.
But the identity of Winnie as a monster is not clear. Winnie is just regarded as a girl saved by Belle. After all, this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened.
"That child is actually the same as the intelligent monsters you met today. She was actually rescued by Bell from the poachers who were chasing her in the dungeon and brought back to her family. Their existence is what I call '
Heretic'!"
As Hestia recounted what had happened before, including Bell rescuing Winnie and bringing her back to the guild and then returning her to the dungeon, and the main god of the Adventurer's Guild, Ouranos, told him everything about the 'heretic'
, including the fact that he wanted to use the Hestia Familia to let the 'heretics' coexist peacefully with humans and demi-humans on the ground, no matter it was Tia or the rest of the Familia, they stayed where they were.
On the side, Yakumo Murasaki and other monsters showed interest after hearing Hestia talk about those 'heretics' as monsters with complete intelligence and self-awareness. As for Hestia
They didn't care at all about the 'heretics' coexisting peacefully with humans and demihumans.
After all, they had known that this kind of thing was impossible. Just like it is impossible for humans in Gensokyo to coexist peacefully with monsters, it is impossible for the 'heretics' in the Earth to coexist peacefully with the lives of people on the ground.
.
"So Lord God, you have known about this for a long time. So Bell entering the dungeon alone is related to this matter. Doesn't that mean that the previous explosion deep in the dungeon was also related to these 'heretics'?"
After a few seconds, Tia, who had recovered from the series of messages, looked at Hestia in front of her and continued to ask.
"Ahem, sister Tia, about the explosion deep in the dungeon that you mentioned, it was actually me."
At this time, Lu Qiming, who had been teasing Keli in his arms, raised his head and coughed in embarrassment and said, by the way, there was a trace of joy deep in his heart. Fortunately, he met Spider Zi when he was bombing the dungeon today, otherwise he would really have been killed.
If you blow up the dungeon from the fiftieth floor to the first floor, doesn't that mean that even Sister Tia and the others will be blown up by you?
"Qiming, you went to blow up the dungeon again."
Tia and Hestia turned to look at Lu Qiming at the same time, and the corners of their mouths kept twitching. Although they had known that Lu Qiming had a hobby of blowing up dungeons before, this kind of thing had not happened during Lu Qiming's absence.
In addition, Tiya and the others didn't know about Lu Qiming's return before, so they really didn't think of this possibility.
As for Hestia, she didn't expect that Lu Qiming would still maintain this hobby after becoming a god.
But contrary to them, Keli in Lu Qiming's arms had glowing eyes and looked at her father with admiration. She didn't expect that her father would break the big news just after he came back, and Keli would also like to cheer up!
Can't lose to daddy!
It's a dungeon, right? Keli, I'm eyeing you, I'll blow them all up for you!
"Okay, that's it for the bombing of the dungeon. As for the 'heretics' and Bell, you don't need to worry about it anymore. And compared to this kind of thing, now is the time for a banquet!"
The next second, Lu Qiming stood up and looked at the people in front of him and smiled softly. The space behind him began to twist and a pale golden passage appeared. The elves waved their wings and sent out the dishes that had been prepared.
"The party has begun!"
Next, in the brightly lit Hestia Family Hall, many elves flew with their wings and placed various delicacies in front of everyone. The tempting fragrance filled the air. After a while, everyone burst into laughter and wine glasses.
The sound of collisions sounded, and even the lively sounds attracted the attention of adventurers passing by outside.
In the second half of the night, the originally noisy hall fell into silence, with drunken figures lying on the ground. Only many elves who were cleaning up the mess were left flying around. After restoring the hall to its original state, many elves looked at Lu Qiming slightly.
After saluting, they all returned to the Kingdom of God.
"Really, none of these guys know the control points."
After all the elves returned, Lu Qiming helplessly looked at the people lying on the ground in front of him, picked up Keli and Hestia beside him and walked towards the room.
After putting Keli and Hestia away, Lu Qiming looked at Hestia sleeping on the bed holding Keli and smiled softly. He turned around and closed the door and returned to the hall again, putting Mavis and Ze
After La picked them up and put them in his room, he planned to go back and send Sister Tiya and Sister Anya back to the room before coming back. As for the others, it would be okay to lie on the ground all night with their system.
But Lu Qiming, who had just closed the door and walked out, suddenly felt a familiar feeling coming to his face. The scent of jasmine filled his nose. Then Lu Qiming felt like he was being hugged tightly from behind, and the huge justice (
Meow) on the back.
"Sister Tiya. Sister Anya, do you need to pretend to be drunk?"
Lu Qiming gently pushed the figure in front of him and looked at Sister Tia and Sister Anya with reddish faces in front of him. Although they had a faint smell of alcohol on their bodies, their bright eyes proved that their drunken appearance before was completely fake.
of.
"Of course. Otherwise, how would I have the chance to come to Qiming alone?"
Tia gently hugged Lu Qiming's neck, leaned against his chest and said, while Anya, who was behind Lu Qiming, stretched out her head and laughed.
"That sister Tiya, sister Anya, isn't it good to be like this? After all, I am already..."
As Lu Qiming spoke, he turned his head and glanced at the closed door behind him. He always felt guilty for doing this now. If he told Mavis directly, they would definitely understand. After all, Lu Qiming met them before he met them.
It's Sister Anya and Sister Tiya.
But this happened quietly, and Lu Qiming still felt a little sorry for Mavis and the two of them, but in fact, Lu Qiming felt that this was an indescribable thrill.
"Qiming, aren't you willing? But if you, Qiming, want to believe in Mavis and the others, they will definitely not refuse."
Tiya looked at Lu Qiming somewhere with a faint smile on her face, then pointed at the door behind her and winked at Lu Qiming playfully.
"Well, let's forget it for today!"
Lu Qiming looked behind him. Although he felt a little moved, he thought that Mavis and the others were still a little too tired recently, and it would not be good to disturb them while they were asleep. He shook his head, turned around and walked towards Sister Tiya's room.
After a while, the familiar soundproof barrier rose.
The next morning, Lu Qiming, who got up early, looked refreshed at the sun that had just risen outside. Under the warm sunshine, Lu Qiming stretched his body after working hard all night, and then turned his head to look at the man who had just walked out behind him.
Hestia.
"Good morning, Lord God."
"Ha~ Good morning Qiming."
Hestia yawned and rubbed her eyes, then forced herself to look at Lu Qiming. She got up early today just to go to the Hephaestus Familia with Lu Qiming to see the interesting expressions of her divine friends.
"Then let's go, Lord God."
Lu Qiming looked at Hestia who was still drowsy beside him and smiled softly. After calling Ayin and the others out of his body, he walked towards the direction of the Hephaestus Familia in the morning sun.
