"Then I'll go down first."
After Nakano Yu finished speaking, he was worried that Ai Si would think too much, so he rubbed Ai Si's head and flashed into the cave.
After entering the cave, Nakano Yu looked around and found that the cave was very spacious. There were several tunnels on the rock walls of the cave, which obviously led to different places.
"Did that guy just go to find the base camp?"
Looking at the tunnels, Nakano Yu rubbed his chin and muttered.
He could see Nakano Yu clearly as he saw the creature that just flashed by. It was a golden humanoid monster. No, to be precise, it wasn't a monster.
Born in the dungeon, it gained free will in the body of a monster. It was regarded as a "heretic" by Uranus and the dungeon.
What Nakano Yu didn't expect was that he would actually meet a heretic here.
After sensing it for a while, Nakano Yu immediately walked towards a tunnel. Following the dark tunnel, Nakano Yu soon came to another slightly smaller cave.
"Hmm? Stop hiding and come out."
As soon as he arrived at the cave, Nakano Yu walked slowly to the center of the cave, turned his head and said to the back.
Just as he finished speaking, the next second, a figure suddenly swooped down from the top of the cave, flapping its wings towards the young man.
Although the attack was loud, the force was moderate and it was obviously not aimed at killing Nakano Yu.
Just as the golden wings were about to hit the back of the boy's head, a gust of wind suddenly blew up in the cave, instantly restraining the figure that was attacking Nakano Yu.
"Hmm, the strength is pretty good, level 5?"
Turning around, Nakano Yu praised the heretic who attacked him, and then looked at this heretic.
The heretic's appearance and figure were clearly those of a woman, except that her lower body had bird legs and claws, her arms were replaced by wings, and her body was covered with light golden feathers. She also wore a small amount of cloth to cover her private parts, which was probably taken from the bodies of adventurers who died in the dungeon.
"Human, let me go..."
The heretic controlled by Nakano Yuu struggled, but how could a little bird resist the power of the wind?
"Don't worry, if you don't want to kill me, I don't plan to kill you."
Looking at the heretic, Nakano Yu clapped his hands, and the [wind] immediately dissipated, and the heretic's figure fell to the ground.
"what you up to?"
Sitting paralyzed on the ground, Heretic raised his eyes and looked at the boy, his expression full of vigilance.
To be honest, she really wanted to get close to adventurers. Ever since she was born, she had believed that adventurers were magical beings. They were strong, tough, knew how to work in a team, and could handle monsters with ease.
However, every time she tried to approach the adventurers, she would always be met with weapons and magic. If she was not strong enough, she would have died at the hands of the adventurers long ago.
"I know you. Your name is Lei Yi, right?"
Seeing that Lei was so wary of him, Nakano Yu simply laid his cards on the table. The heretic's vigilance towards adventurers could not be resolved with just a few words from him. Instead of explaining it here, he might as well pretend that he had known about it for a long time.
This would also save him the trouble of explaining why he wasn't surprised to see a heretic.
Seeing that this adventurer she had just met actually recognized her, Lei was obviously surprised. She covered her body with her wings and looked at Nakano Yuu and asked:
"Are you from...the Adventurer's Guild?"
.....Ten thousand..
Chapter 409: Mermaid Girl Mary
Looking at the gentle young man in front of her, Lei Yi was still a little skeptical, but the other party's attitude was really not like that of an ordinary adventurer, so she asked cautiously.
In Lei's knowledge, only adventurers from the Adventurer's Guild would approach them, and even if they did, they would just throw the supplies for living in the dungeon from a distance, waiting for them to take them.
From the time they accepted the assistance from the Adventurer's Guild until now, they haven't even spoken a few words to the people from the Adventurer's Guild, let alone any contact. Every time they approached, those people would always retreat quickly with a look of vigilance on their faces.
Compared to the people from the Adventurer's Guild, Nakano Yu's attitude now can be said to be very gentle, but... apart from the people from the Adventurer's Guild, Lei Yi couldn't think of anyone else who would know them and take the initiative to contact these "rats" who live in the dark and hide.
"The Adventurer's Guild? I'm not a member of the guild. Strictly speaking, I'm not even an adventurer. I'm just... an ordinary human who hasn't joined a clan."
When Lei asked, Nakano Yu had no intention of hiding anything. In his opinion, "heretics" were very sensitive, and instead of lying that he was a member of the Adventurer's Guild, it would be better to tell the truth.
"Ordinary...human?"
Looking at Nakano Yuu, Lei looked at herself again. The person who could subdue her so easily actually called himself an ordinary human?
For a moment, Lei Yi's expression was a little complicated, and she didn't know what expression or words to use to respond to Nakano Yu.
Seeing this, Nakano Yu scratched his head and took the initiative to start a conversation with Lei:
"Aren't you heretics active around the 25th floor? Why did you suddenly come down to the 39th floor?"
"How did you know we were planning to relocate the 25th floor?"
As soon as the boy finished speaking, Lei Yi suddenly became alert, hurriedly stood up, flapped her wings, and retreated sharply, keeping a safe distance from Nakano Yu.
After these words were spoken, the corner of Nakano Yu's mouth twitched.
It seems that the heretics haven't moved to the 25th floor yet. But then again, as heretics are not accepted by adventurers and are hostile to monsters, their life in the dungeon is probably hiding from place to place, so they are probably not on the 19th floor at this moment.
Judging from what Lei Yi said, she is planning to migrate?
"It's just a random tip, but if you're moving upstairs, why are you still on the 39th floor? Where are Reed and the others?"
Nakano Yu shrugged, trying to appear casual, and then asked why Lei was here.
"Reed and the others have already taken everyone to the 25th floor. I'm here to pick them up."
Seeing that Nakano Yuu had a kind attitude and even mentioned Reed's name, although Lei Yi had doubts in her heart, she was not too alert and confessed the purpose of her coming here.
"Pick someone up?"
Hearing this, Nakano Yuu was stunned. Didn't Reed already take the heretic to the upper level? Then who was Lei Yi here to pick up?
"Yes, she's a heretic from the mermaid tribe. This migration is also for her. After all, the mermaid race is special. We found a pool on the 25th floor that can be used to house her."
Lei Yi nodded slightly, then lowered the wings that were blocking her body, looked around, and walked towards the passage on the left.
"Would you like to come along?"
When they reached the cave entrance, Lei Yi was about to leave, but suddenly turned to look at Nakano Yu and asked.
It is rare to find an adventurer like Yuu Nakano who is willing to actively approach them, the heretics. It has always been Lei's wish to coexist with humans. If possible... she wants to try to get close to Yuu Nakano.
For so long, she only felt close to Nakano Yuu.
"Ah."
Nodding, Nakano Yuu didn't hesitate and followed Lei into the dark cave.
As they walked, Lei also took the initiative to talk to Nakano Yuu:
"Hey, you know my name, but I don't know yours. If you're not an adventurer, you shouldn't be able to enter the dungeon, right? It's too dangerous!"
"My name is Nakano Yuu. As for an adventurer... I'm not really an adventurer. I entered the dungeon with the expedition of Loki's family..."
"Expedition team, you came from up there, so you should know what happened on the 38th floor, right? I was planning to go down directly from the passage on the 38th floor, but it suddenly collapsed, so I had no choice but to go this way."
"The floor owner above is rioting."
"Eh?! Riot?! That big guy is very strong, did you... defeat it?"
"I guess so. I still have its magic crystal."
Chatting all the way, with Lei Yi leading the way, the two of them turned left and right in the black hole rock passage and soon came to a wide cave.
This cave is like other caves. The air is filled with a faint fluorescence, and the visibility is not low. In addition, there is a large pool of water not far away, which is connected to an underground river. By the pool, a petite figure is sitting there bored.
"Mary! Sorry for the wait!"
Seeing the figure, Lei, who was chatting happily with Nakano Yu, smiled and shouted 4.6 at the figure.
"Ok?"
Hearing the sound, the figure turned his head and saw Lei Yi not far away. He immediately raised his hand and attacked Lei Yi:
"Sister Lei! You guys are finally here! It's so boring to talk here!"
Following Lei to the edge of the pond, just when Nakano Yu was about to take a closer look at the mermaid girl, he saw that she was also looking at him, but her posture was timid and a little curious.
After staring at each other for a moment, the mermaid girl suddenly looked up, blinked her pure eyes, and asked Lei:
"Hey, Sister Lei, is he the one you love? Did he hug you? It was so beautiful!"
....
Chapter 410 Mary: Mr. Human, can you hug me?
"Eh?! No, that's not the case! Mr. Nakano is just a friend I just met. He's not what you think he is, Mary!"
As soon as the mermaid girl finished speaking, Lei's face turned red, her ears felt hot, and she hurriedly started to explain.
What Mary just said was Rei's dream. Different from the goal of letting heretics and adventurers coexist, what Mary just said was Rei's selfish dream, a secret that Rei had always kept deep in her heart and only told to Mary, the new heretic.
Because she is a bird-human monster, Lei has no arms, and the special structure of her wings makes it impossible for her to truly hug someone. So Lei has always hoped that she can meet her loved one, who will hug her gently, just a hug will be enough. Lei does not dare to hope too much.
I remember that when Lei told this secret to Mary, she specifically told Mary not to talk about it carelessly, let alone tell anyone else.
At first, Mary seemed to agree, but now, how come she broke down the moment she saw Nakano Yuu?!
"Eh? Isn't it?"
After hearing 22 words, Mary was stunned. She raised her webbed hands to cover her mouth in surprise, as if she had accidentally let the cat out of the bag.
"Really, you little girl... I don't even know whether it's good or bad to tell you this secret."
Seeing Mary's innocent face, Lei Yi lost the desire to lecture the mermaid girl. She sighed and said helplessly.
"I just saw Sister Lei and Mr. Human being so close, so I thought of it."
Mary stuck out her tongue and spoke, her eyes moving back and forth between the boy and Lei Yi. After a moment's thought, she waved at Lei Yi.
"Ok?"
Seeing Mary acting mysterious, Lei Yi also felt puzzled. She squatted down and moved close to the mermaid girl's mouth, wanting to see if the girl had anything to say in secret.
"Hey, I think Sister Lei's dream can come true with Mr. Human!"
Glancing at the young man, Mary tried to lower her voice as much as possible to avoid letting Nakano Yuu hear. After she finished speaking, Lei's face instantly turned red, but since Nakano Yuu was here, she couldn't react too much.
Standing up straight, Lei Yi cleared her throat and said:
"Ahem, anyway, we still have some important things to do. We need to take Mary upstairs first. Everyone is waiting for you there."
As she spoke, Lei's eyes kept glancing at Nakano Yuu, and her mind gradually became active.
Nakano Yuu was the most fair-minded human being she had ever seen towards heretics. Even the adventurers in the Adventurer's Guild had never been like this.
Rei was born as a heretic in the dungeon a long time ago, and her yearning for her dream has been deeply imprinted in her heart as time goes by. As Mary said, if it was Nakano Yu, maybe it would really be possible?
"Hey, Mr. Human, can you pick me up?
When Mary heard what Lei said, she knew that now was not the time for her to continue playing around, so she turned to look at the boy and stretched out her arms.
She still doesn't know Nakano Yu's name, so she can only call Nakano Yu "Mr. Human".
"Just call me Nakano Yuu, no need to be so polite."
Amused by the mermaid girl's simple name, Nakano Yu bent down and was about to hug Mari, but suddenly remembered something.
As a mermaid, Marie cannot stay out of water for a long time. Once she stays out of water for too long, her body and mind will become extremely weak.
"Mary, didn't Reed and the others prepare a boat for you so you can go up the hidden river?"
Seeing that Mary actually asked to be carried by Nakano Yu, Lei frowned slightly. The mermaids cannot leave the water. After discussion, the heretics decided to row up through the underground river. Although it would be hard along the way, there would be heretics to pick them up on each floor, so they could divide the work and ensure safety.
"Yes, but the boat is broken down."
Hearing this, Mary nodded obediently and pointed to a pair of broken wooden boards on the other side of the pool.
It was a ship that the heretics had built with great difficulty using materials they had collected in the dungeon.
It was destroyed simply because the workmanship was so crude and the underground river would bring in monsters from time to time.
The boat was bitten to pieces by a LV3 sharp-toothed fish brought from the dark river. If she hadn't swam fast, she would probably have been injured by now.
