Chapter 413: What is a monster? Aisi is confused

"You, they're monsters, get out of the way!"

Seeing the boy suddenly standing in front of her, Ai Si frowned slightly, her eyes fixed on Mary, and her voice was cold.

Mermaids have the ability to confuse people. I'm afraid that the reason why Nakano Yuu tried to stop her is because he was bewitched by the mermaid. However, with Yuu's strength, he shouldn't be controlled by that kind of monster. What's going on?

Ais now really wants to pull the [Sword of Despair] out from Nakano Yu's fingertips, but with Nakano Yu's strength, she is simply unable to resist.

"Ais, I'm not bewitched by them. They are my friends. They are heretics with self-awareness, heretics who yearn for freedom.

Seeing that Ai Si was still trying to attack, Nakano Yu had no choice but to use a little force on his hand to directly snatch the [Sword of Despair] from Ai Si's hand, and then he made a sword flower and held the [Sword of Despair] in his hand - the boy explained.

Her weapon was taken away, and Ai Si wanted to grab it, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, the boy grabbed it.

"Ais, look at them, are they monsters?"

The boy's serious voice reached her ears, and Ais, who had been hostile to the monster, came to her senses and looked up at Lei and Mary.

A human body with a fish tail, a human body with eagle wings, this appearance is obviously a monster, but... she didn't feel any hostility at all.

"Hello..."

Seeing Ai Si looking at her, Lei Yi showed alertness, always on guard against Ai Si's sudden attack, while Mary was much simpler. She waved her hand in the water ball and greeted Ai Si.

"Say, have you spoken?"

Looking at Mary's smile, Ais was stunned. Did she just hear the mermaid talking?

But...how is this possible? How can a monster talk?

Ai Si was confused for a moment. There were indeed some monsters in the dungeon that could speak human language, but those monsters would never smile and say "hello" to you.

Could it be that, as You said, they are the outliers among monsters, heretics?

"Calm down?"

Seeing that Ais no longer had the intention to kill, Nakano Yuya let go of the girl's hand and asked.

"Um..."

In response to Nakano Yu's question, Ai Si lowered her head and responded softly.

Seeing Aisi like this, Nakano Yuu felt relieved and put the Sword of Despair back into the scabbard at Aisi's waist. Then he said:

"Since we're done fighting, why don't you introduce yourself?"

As he spoke, the boy stepped aside, revealing Rei and Mari behind him, and introduced Ais:

"This is the rising star adventurer of the Loki family, the 1v6 Sword Princess, Ais Wallenstein."

"Hello, you guys... I'm sorry about what happened just now."

Looking at the two heretics, Ais still felt a little strange. After all, the idea that monsters are enemies has been imprinted in her mind for many years. But Ais is not stupid. She can also see that these two are unusual. Thinking of her previous hostility, she bent down and sincerely apologized to Lei and Mary.

"It's okay. We all know a bit about adventurers' attitudes towards monsters. My name is Mary, one of the original heretics."

Lei also noticed the change in Ais's attitude. Moreover, this was not the first time they had experienced something like this. Compared to the relentless pursuit of other adventurers, Ais was already very friendly.

"I'm Mary, a mermaid!"

Mary turned over in the water ball and introduced herself with a smile.

"They are now..."

Feeling Mary's kindness and innocence, Ai Si felt more and more conflicted. She looked at Nakano Yu and asked.

"The heretics plan to go to the 25th floor, which is closer to the upper floors and will be more convenient for the Adventurer's Guild to resupply supplies."

Nakano Yuuya explained truthfully that the connection between the heretic and the Adventurer's Guild was unknown to ordinary people, but now that Ai Si knew about the existence of the heretic, it would not be a big deal if she knew more.

"Adventurer's Guild?"

Nakano Yuu's words caught Aisi's attention. She had assumed the heretic was living a life of hiding in the dungeon, dodging monsters and adventurers. But now, it seemed like the heretic was actually connected to the Adventurer's Guild?!

For adventurers like Sword Princess, they know clearly that the most influential family in Orario is not Freya's family or Loki's family, but the Adventurer's Guild!

Freya's family and Loki's family have no right to refuse the missions of the Adventurer's Guild, which shows the status of the Adventurer's Guild.

However, Ai Si really did not expect that the heretic was actually in cahoots with the Adventurer's Guild, and that the Adventurer's Guild was even providing assistance to the heretic.

"Well, it's also because of the assistance of the Adventurer's Guild that we have been able to hide in the dungeon until now."

Lei nodded. She had always been grateful to the Adventurer's Guild. For the original heretics, the help of the Adventurer's Guild was undoubtedly a glass of ice water handed to them when they were dying of thirst. Although it could not completely lead them out of the desert, it gave them a glimmer of hope of survival in the desert.

"The Adventurer's Guild may seem cold, but they're good people."

Mary also nodded and expressed her goodwill towards the Adventurer's Guild.

Looking at the expressions of Mary and Rei, Ais could no longer regard them as monsters. After taking a deep breath, her expression gradually became firm, and she asked:

"...I understand. Do you need my help?"

.....and..

Chapter 414: Dispute, Finn is curious

"You is still looking for the hot spring down there. It should be because of the safety layer. There are no monsters down there. It's just that the way is a bit roundabout. Let's wait for You to come out before going in."

When Lefiya brought Finn and his group to the entrance of the unexplored cave, Aisi, who had already returned, stopped everyone with a cold voice, but left no room for doubt.

As soon as these words were spoken, Finn, who was leading a group of second and third level adventurers, frowned. He had been working with Ai Si for almost five years. Given Ai Si's personality, she would never allow her companions to be in an unfamiliar environment.

As an adventurer, Aisi's alertness in the dungeon is far beyond that of ordinary adventurers, which is why Aisi was able to become a LV6 adventurer in a very short time.

Could it be that it is because of Nakano Yu's own strength that Ais is so relaxed?

That shouldn't be the case either.

Unable to figure it out, Finn walked forward, looked at the sword lady blocking the cave entrance, and asked:

"Ais, what's going on? Unknown areas shouldn't be explored alone. If something like Dark Udaeus were to occur, we wouldn't be able to provide immediate support."

"It's safe down there, there are no monsters, and Yuu is in no danger."

Ai Si responded calmly as always, seemingly not worried at all about the boy's safety in the unknown area.

"Captain, Senior Aisi just went down to the unknown area to investigate. Since Senior Aisi said so, it proves that there is indeed no danger down there."

Seeing that Ais was in a bad mood, Lefiya was worried that Ais would make Finn angry, so she quickly gave him a way out.

Although Lefiya is usually silly, it doesn't mean that this girl is stupid. She just saw Ai Si going down into the cave with her own eyes, and it was Ai Si who asked her to ask Captain Finn for help. Now they are not allowed to enter the unknown area, there must be a reason that cannot be said.

"...I will report to the Adventurer's Guild about the unknown area later. As for how to deal with it, I'll leave it to the Adventurer's Guild."

Looking at Ais's expression, Finn could see nothing but indifference. After pondering for a moment, Finn finally did not choose to enter the unknown area, but planned to report it to the Adventurer's Guild.

First of all, there must be a reason why Ai Si is blocking them, and Finn doesn't dare to gamble. Although the unknown area represents a huge contribution and it would be a great feat if it could be explored and completed, it also carries great risks. In case there are special traps underneath, it is very likely that the 39th safety layer will be destroyed.

"I believe Mr. Nakano's safety is not in danger given his strength. We will be leaving now. I apologize for your wasted trip. After reporting to the Adventurer's Guild, I will definitely take you to explore the unknown area."

After saying that, Finn turned around and thanked the adventurers behind him. Many of them were adventurers from other clans who were stationed on the 39th floor to rest. They came to help because they heard that there was an unknown area. Now that he was not letting them in, it would make their Loki clan seem dictatorial.

But it didn't matter. Finn knew that his strength was not the strongest in Orario, but his reputation was the best. Otherwise, he would not have been awarded the title of "Hero" after the Council of Gods.

"Since the [Hero] has said so, then we will wait for the call from Loki's Familia."

"Let's go, everyone. The barbecue is waiting for us at the camp!"

A muscular man stood up, said something, and left with his clan's adventurers.

After the first clan member left, the others realized that they would get nothing out of staying here, so they all turned around and left.

After all the adventurers left, Finn also dismissed the adventurers from Loki's clan. Soon, Finn, Lefiya and Ais were the only ones left.

"So, tell me, what is that Mr. Nakano doing down there?"

Walking forward and looking at Ai Si, Finn pretended to be helpless and asked...

Although he is the leader of the Loki clan, he rarely asks about the leader's private affairs. What's more, Nakano Yu is not a member of the Loki clan. Asking this now seems a bit outspoken, but he is really curious about what can make Lord Nakano stay in the unknown area.

"Um...I can't tell you about this, sorry Captain."

Finn asked. Aisi wanted to say something, but when she thought of the impact it would have on the heretic, she paused and spoke with her head slightly lowered.

"You really can't tell me. I'm afraid Master Nakano has come into contact with some secrets of the underground city?"

Finn looked like he had expected to be rejected by Ai Si. He knew that Ai Si would not tell him, and asking now was just a gamble.

"Senior Aisi, is Mr. You really okay? Why hasn't he come up after all this time?"

Lefiya seemed much simpler and directly asked what Nakano Yu was doing in the unknown area.

"You is safe over there. As for why he didn't come up, there are many passages in the unknown area. He is still exploring the way for the clan's future exploration."

Unable to fool her, Ai Si brought up the same excuse again.

But this can fool Lefevre for 1.5 days, but not Finn.

This was not his first time to encounter an unknown area. For an unknown area, exploring alone would definitely not be as fast as exploring in a team of four. Nakano Yuu definitely had other things to do down there.

Ai Si didn't want to say it, and he couldn't force her.

Waving his hand, Finn turned and walked towards the camp:

"Well, Mr. Nakano will be safe. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."

Seeing Finn was about to leave, Ai Si pursed her lips and watched Finn leave.

She couldn't tell anyone about the heretic, at least not yet.

....

Chapter 415: Calculation, Grace's Death!

"careful!"

On the 47th floor, Grace held the [Roland Battle Axe] in both hands. After a loud shout, his burly body instantly came in front of the supporter, swung the giant axe, and cut the attacking monster into two halves.

"Thank you, thank you, Senior Grace..."

The supporter who was rescued by Grace looked back and saw the black smoke from the monster's collapse. His face changed and he quickly expressed his gratitude.

"You're welcome. After you finish dealing with this wave of monsters, go to the 48th floor as soon as possible."

Holding up the battle axe, Grace said with a serious expression and waved his hand.

As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for the supporter to react, Grace swung his battle axe again and rushed towards the monsters that were besieging his fellow adventurers not far away.

An unknown amount of time had passed. Grace only knew that he had been repeatedly raising his hand and swinging his axe until all the monsters on this floor were killed. Then he shook his hand and put the [Roland Battle Axe] back on his back.

"How are you? Are you injured?"

Turning around, Grace looked at the supporters and adventurers who had dealt with the monsters and asked with concern.

"Yeah, a little injury, but nothing serious."

The supporter nodded. After all, he was just a supporter and not suitable for fighting. Even though he carried items such as the magic sword and magic crystal crossbow, he was still injured.

"Let me see."

Hearing this, Grace stepped forward and immediately locked onto the supporter's blood-stained calf.

"Did you get scratched? It looks like it was scratched by a black-winged bat. I have an antidote here. Let's rinse the wound first."

After checking the wound, Grace took out a tube of red potion from his arms and stuffed it directly into the supporter's hand without giving the supporter a chance to refuse.

"Are you OK?"

The dwarf warrior looked at the fellow adventurer again and asked with the same concern.

Now they have reached the 47th floor. He tried his best to avoid fighting along the way and bypassed many monsters, which is why he was able to reach the 48th floor so quickly. Now they only need to enter the 48th floor and collect dragon scales to take them back to the upper floor, and then they will be safe.

Thinking of this, Grace took out a bottle of advanced healing potion from his arms. This was the potion he often brought with him on expeditions. Although it was very expensive, costing tens of millions of Wallis per bottle, it was very effective and could be used to save his life at critical moments.

"Take this. The lower level is more dangerous. If you encounter danger, don't keep it. I will hold back the monsters while you use your skills to return to the upper level."

Grace said as she stepped forward and pressed the healing potion in her hand into the adventurer's hand.
