Chapter 714

In Orario, this World Capital, people can always see all sorts of gods; most gods, even if unreliable, show no evil on the surface.

However, not seeing it doesn't mean it doesn't exist; Enio is one of them — he is born loving chaos, thinking every moment of destroying Orario's current peace and order.

It's just a pity that he temporarily lacks the power to overturn everything, so he can only bury the evil in his bones deep down, pretending to be a Good God who doesn't contend with the world.

Merely, gods are best at seeing through hearts; even lies woven by their own kind cannot escape their eyes.

Therefore, he needs to frequently use specially made Divine Wine, drinking it to perform self-hypnosis, making himself look on the surface just like a friendly Good God.

However, Divine Wine is quite famous; the effects it can produce, most gods who have drunk it also know some.

So, he still has to, while constantly drinking Divine Wine, make outsiders unable to tell that he has drunk Divine Wine.

If he brewed Divine Wine himself, it would easily be spotted as abnormal from the procurement of brewing materials; Enio usually hides behind the scenes, secretly buying back the Divine Wine sold externally by the Soma Familia, then re-blending it for use.

This way, on the surface absolutely no one would suspect him; who would think that Orario's other God of Wine doesn't brew his own Divine Wine, but instead goes to buy another God of Wine's brewed Divine Wine.

However, after Liliruca took control of the Soma Familia, she established a regulation that only those with a real god name could purchase Divine Wine, directly cutting off his originally stable Divine Wine source, making it meaningless for others to know he was hoarding Divine Wine in large quantities.

Regardless of whether the change in the Soma Familia Captain's position had someone behind the scenes detecting his existence, or was just an accident as rumored outside, Enio absolutely could not let his subordinates participate in this matter; attacking and killing guys completely unrelated to him for no reason is too conspicuous.

Manipulating wine merchants in the dark to probe the bottom line of the Soma Familia's new Captain is the only thing he can do.

"Right, Ye En, the Fallen Fairy Spirit clones traded to us should be about to be transported out, right?"

The golden-haired handsome god asked about another matter.

"Estimated to have already reached the Deep Floors; before long they will rendezvous with the Ikelos Familia people, travel by waterway to Port Melen, and trade to the Ishtar Familia people."

The elf, most of whose figure was hidden in shadow, reported to his god.

"That woman Ishtar, hope she doesn't waste the Fallen Fairy Spirit's Fetus Jewels."

"Lord Enio, do you think Goddess Ishtar can really defeat the Freya Familia?" The elf couldn't help but question, "Over there is Orario's highest wall, and that Mighty One Ottar is there."

"Goddess Ishtar, though often driven by jealousy, is not a goddess with an unclear mind." The golden-haired Male God chuckled lightly, tone certain, "If she didn't have sufficient confidence, she wouldn't lightly declare war on Freya and her Familia."

To destroy Orario's inherent order, Loki and Freya these two top-tier faction Familias are existences that must be solved.

If Ishtar can successfully solve one of them, then for him, that would be nothing better.

And at this moment, the Dungeon Labyrinth Deep Floors, Floor 30.

A black-robed man handed the package in his hand to the person who came to make contact, and said: "Your mission is to take this package to Floor 18's Rivira Town; at that time someone will contact you to take the goods."

"No problem." The contact was Hashana, an Adventurer of the Ganesha Familia; he weighed the package in his hand, and asked with some curiosity: "However, what is this thing?"

"People shouldn't have too much curiosity; knowing too much has no benefit for the current you."

However, the black-robed man didn't intend to reveal it.

"Alright, mysterious guy."

Hashana shrugged.

"Remember, absolutely do not open the package to look."

Before leaving, the black-robed man didn't forget to instruct once more.

"Am I that kind of person? This is a mission my Home's Main God entrusted."

Hashana agreed readily, and after the black-robed man left, he curiously opened it to take a look.

"Eh, it's alive, is it some monster's Embryo? Looks disgusting."

Inside the package was a green Treasure Bead.

Inside, a tiny, fetus-like monster was also floating.

The little thing seemed able to sense the outside gaze, stirred inside, then suddenly opened its eyes.

Scared Hashana a jump; the man hurriedly closed the package back up.

And what he didn't know was, at the very moment the package was opened and isolated.

The Fallen Fairy Spirit deep in the Dungeon sensed the situation of its clone being stolen.

"Ah—"

Like a Siren's formless shriek, it penetrated a large number of Labyrinth floors.

The monsters active in the Labyrinth received their master's transmission at the first moment.

"Ah, so noisy..."

The white-haired ghost plugged his ears with his fingers, and complained with a displeased face.

"Have to make us find Ais, and also make us go find the Seed back, things are really fucking many."

Beside him, a red long-haired woman jumped down from a rock, and said: "Olivas, you continue searching here, I'll go retrieve the Seed."

"Hah, Revis, I'm not your subordinate, why should you command me?"

"Then you go retrieve the Seed, I'll search here?"

"Uh, forget it then, you go retrieve the Seed."

The white-haired ghost choked, and still chose the search job that was safer for him.

"Heh—"

Revis's mouth revealed a trace of contemptuous smile, turned and left; the Fallen Fairy Spirit had already left a mark on the Fetus Jewel's holder, she just needed to follow the mark to find the guy who stole the Seed, kill him, and take back the Seed.

Compared to searching the whole Dungeon for that guy named Ais, who has Fairy Spirit bloodline, that the Fallen Fairy Spirit wants to find, this was much simpler.

Next day, when the sky just turned pale dawn, at the Hearth Manor in Forgotten Alley, the Magic Stone Doorbell outside was pressed ringing.

"Who is it... this early in the morning?"

Hestia rubbed her sleepy eyes, loose sleepwear straps sliding off her shoulders, revealing fair skin, yet she was completely unaware, just letting out a big yawn.

"I'll go open the door, Lady Hestia, you all sleep a bit more."

Broly's voice came from inside the quilt, and he emerged from the warm sandwich embrace of the small-person race girl and the Goddess.

Changed clothes, went out and opened the door to look.

Saw a girl in a one-piece bodysuit standing outside the iron gate of our own Familia residence.

Golden long hair fell over her shoulders, her exquisite face showing little expression.

It was precisely Ais Wallenstein.

Seeing the door of the house inside open, she tiptoed and peered this way.

"Eh, Miss Ais, what are you doing here so early in the morning?"

Broly walked over, opened the door for her, and asked.

"You didn't look for me yesterday, I wanted to train with you, afraid you wouldn't say hello, so I went to the Dungeon."

Ais's explanatory words were spoken a bit haltingly, but this is just this girl's habitual way of speaking.

"Mr. Broly, are you going to the Dungeon to earn money today too?"

She asked directly.

"Uh, I should be going today."

Broly nodded, most of the Familia funds were taken to support Liliruca, so he had to go recover some.

"Then can I go with you?"

The girl looked at him with a calm, almost expressionless face, though she had a three-no appearance, one could still feel her expectation.

"That's fine, but I'll be bringing another person along."

Broly didn't refuse, but explained the situation.

"As long as we can go together, it doesn't matter who you bring."

Ais pursed her thin lips, seemed to have smiled a little, but since the upturn of her mouth corners was extremely slight, it might just be an illusion.

However, Broly saw through the Crystal Palace Panel that the other party's Happiness Value had risen, detecting the joy of the three-no Sword Princess girl before him.

"Hmm, what about Miss Lefiya? She didn't come with you?"

Broly tilted his head to look behind the Sword Princess girl, discovered there was no elf girl, and couldn't help but ask.

"As for Lefiya, recently she's been training swordsmanship with me for several days and is very tired, today she's sleeping very deeply and hasn't woken up yet, so I didn't call her."

Ais answered neatly and precisely.

And at this moment, inside the Twilight Manor single dormitory.

"Miss Ais, don't go with Mr. Broly, practice sword with me a bit more, I'll work hard to satisfy you..."

The elf girl still in a dream was speaking dream talk.

"Ehehe, I can't eat anymore, Miss Ais's fried potato balls..."

Drooling, hugging a pillow, rolling over, Lefiya continued immersing in a wonderful dream.

"Can we set off now?"

After getting the Saiyan boy's agreement, Ais couldn't wait to go to the Dungeon.

"The time is a bit early now, the appointment I made with someone else is a bit later."

Broly explained, after detecting a hint of disappointment emanating from the Sword Princess girl, immediately added a sentence.

"If you don't mind, I can accompany you for some morning sword training."

"Hmm, don't mind."

The Sword Princess girl's eyes lit up, hand directly gripping the sword hilt, looking eager to try.

"That Miss Ais Wallenstein, truly is a training maniac~"

Broly went back to get his sword, incidentally explained the situation to the Loli Goddess, and Hestia started complaining.

Early morning, sky not yet bright, running this far to train, truly is a rather rare thing.

"Could it be because she heard Broly-san, you encountered Miss Chun again, so she's more concerned and came here early morning?"

Liliruca pillowed on Hestia's arm, saying others are concerned but actually she's the one more concerned.

"About Miss Chun, I only told you two, haven't told Miss Ais yet."

Broly answered.

"This shows Broly is closer to us two, but he told me first, so I'm the closest one."

The Loli Goddess said with a grin.

"Ah, Lady Hestia you're talking nonsense, clearly Broly-san told us both at the same time, okay."

Liliruca immediately retorted.

"No no, when Broly spoke, he was closer to me, the sound was definitely heard by me first!"

"Ah, does that count too?"

"Why wouldn't it count?"

"That's also Lili hearing first, distance closer, okay."

Broly was a bit speechless, ignored the one goddess one person arguing on the bed, turned around and left the room.

In the courtyard, morning training sword lights rose and fell in succession.

Ais's swordsmanship was fierce as ever, but Broly keenly detected something wrong, he raised his hand to swing his sword and block the girl's thrusting strike, then directly pointed it out: "Ais, your sword is too rushed."

Ais's movement paused, she lowered her hand, like a child who did something wrong, said in a low voice: "Sorry... I always feel like I've become weaker."

【It's not that you became weaker, just that I got stronger faster than you...】

Broly thought for a moment, then explained: "Miss Ais, you have gotten stronger, this I can affirm, just compared to me who solved the Floor Boss again and got further Status growth, the strength between us hasn't pulled apart, instead it's been pulled closer somewhat.

And this situation of strength gap narrowing brought about by pure Status values, manifests in morning training, and was felt by you.

Thus, you feel your own strength has weakened, but this is actually just an illusion caused by my status growth being relatively greater—your status hasn't grown much.

"Is that so... then what should I do to quickly become strong like Mr. Broly?"

Ais stood in place for a moment to think, then asked.

"Well..."

Broly hesitated a bit; how should he answer regarding talent?

Soon, the message 【Diligence Compensates for Ineptitude】 appeared in his mind.

"Watch more, learn more, practice more, and you'll definitely become strong quickly."

Broly could only give such an answer.

It sounded like nonsense, but Ais nodded solemnly, her eyes extremely firm: "Mm, I understand."

The sky had fully brightened; Broly checked the time and then left with the Sword Princess.

They met Bell at the Central Square, and besides Bell, there was also a red-haired Pallum figure.

"Mr. Broly, good morning."

Lorne enthusiastically waved at him.

"This is Lorne En Weike of the Hermes Familia; he helped me a lot with the Soma Familia incident, so I want to help him too, helping him become a Level 2 Adventurer."

Broly introduced the new member of the party to the Sword Princess girl.

"Miss Ais Wallenstein, I've long heard of your great name; please take care of me."

Lorne En Weike hadn't expected to team up with a Level 5 Sword Princess; he looked somewhat excited.

"Please take care of me."

Ais simply nodded calmly at the red-haired Pallum, counting it as a response.

The four of them directly entered the Dungeon entrance.

"Lorne, you should..."

After reaching Floor 6 of the Dungeon, Broly taught Lorne hand in hand how to dodge monster attacks, how to find openings to counterattack, various combat techniques; he explained in detail, Lorne learned seriously, and both soon immersed themselves in training and being trained.

No one noticed that the Sword Princess girl standing silently to the side had fingers slightly tightening around her sword hilt; watching the boy patiently guide others, she inexplicably felt somewhat stifled in her heart.

【Ais Wallenstein, Happiness Value decreased...】

Only after receiving the Crystal Palace Panel's prompt message about the other party's Happiness Value decreasing did Broly notice the Sword Princess girl's low spirits.

"Miss Ais, are you not too happy?"

Broly turned his head and asked the Sword Princess girl, who showed nothing unusual and whose expression had always been calm.

"No, I'm not."

Ais shook her head.

"It's just, I want you to pay more attention to me, put more energy on me..."

The girl, not good at expressing herself, spoke her straightforward thoughts.

"Huh?!" *2

Hearing this, Bell and Lorne simultaneously cast somewhat surprised gazes at her.

"So, am I the third wheel?"

The red-haired Pallum asked subconsciously.

"Then am I the fourth?"

Bell added a sentence.

"Uh, but today I'm mainly helping Lorne..."

The monsters of the Upper Floors were too low-level; for Ais, they couldn't even serve as training stumps.

But for the Pallum who almost died in the Upper Floors before, they were already dangerous enough.

Broly had to take care of Lorne's practical combat training; he couldn't directly take people to the deeper labyrinth.

"Uu, I know."

Ais replied; she didn't know what exactly her somewhat annoyed mood right now was.

"Miss Sword Princess, your puffed-up cheeks must mean you're angry, right?"

"Broly-san, Lorne-san's side can be left to me to take care of.

Although my skills are far inferior to yours, guiding Lorne-san in combat techniques should be no problem."

Bell hurriedly said.

"Uh, is that okay?"

Broly looked at the red-haired Pallum.

This matter Bell couldn't decide; it depended on Lorne En Weike's word.

"Ah, I have no objection."

The red-haired Pallum was first stunned, then nodded.

"Ah, Lorne-san agreed, Broly-san, you can just go explore the deeper labyrinth with Miss Ais."

"Then I'll entrust it to you, Bell."

Broly felt a bit apologetic.

"It's fine."

Watching Broly and Ais leave side by side, Bell let out a long sigh of relief.

The pressure of being a third wheel was indeed great.

"Bell, what's the situation between Mr. Broly and Miss Sword Princess?"

At this time, Lorne asked from the side.

"This... counts as an encounter relationship, I suppose."

The boy thought for a moment, then replied.

"Eh, then what about Miss Liliruca?"

Lorne pursued the question.

"It's a better encounter relationship."

Lorne: "..."

At this moment, his heart's admiration for the Saiyan boy gradually surged up.

He even dares to have an encounter like this with the Sword Princess, and it even looks quite harmonious.

"No wonder..."

The red-haired Pallum suddenly realized, at once understanding the reason why the Sword Princess was angry.

Her encounter target went to help another encounter target, and after helping her and cold-shouldering herself for several days, he returned, yet placed even more attention on an unrelated Pallum male like him.

If it were him as Miss Sword Princess, the somewhat angry reaction just now would be minor, after all, how could there be an encounter target so oblivious to romance?

"Then, Mr. Broly, he won't have any trouble, right?"

Lorne once again put his perspective into Broly's angle; although he was also a virgin who had never successfully had an encounter with someone else, he felt that if he were in the other party's position, this encounter with Miss Sword Princess would absolutely explode, which made him unable to help but worry and ask.

"Uh, should be fine. When Miss Ais left together with Broly-san just now, she seemed somewhat happy..."

"Eh, Miss Sword Princess was happy before leaving?"

"Her puffed cheeks subsided, and her steps were also somewhat light with joy."

"Hiss, putting it that way, it really is true!"

Lorne carefully recalled the Sword Princess girl's departing appearance, his eyes gradually widening.

"Bell, you say, how did Mr. Broly pull it off?"

"I don't know. Some of Broly-san's moves are still not something the current me can understand."
