Zongman: Sharingan just opened, you said it was the fault of the earth

"Welcome to the clan."

After a pause, the innocent man seemed to think hard about something, and then added very seriously:

"If you need a sparring partner, you can come to me."

Bai Yulin looked at her serious expression as she said "sparring partner" and said with a smile:

"Okay, I'll come find Miss Ais if you need me."

"By the way...does our clan have a library? Or a reference room or something like that?"

Ais blinked, as if to confirm that this wasn't a flirtation, and then pointed towards the other end of the corridor.

"Turn right and go down the stairs. It's the one at the back."

"Thank you."

Bai Yulin glanced in the direction she pointed, then walked towards the stairs.

Ai Si stood there, looking at his back, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just blinked lightly.

……

squeak-

With a slight sound, the wooden door was slowly pushed open.

The scent of slightly old book pages mixed with the smell of fine dust hit me in the face.

The library of the Loki family was much larger than Bai Yulin had expected.

It's even outrageous.

Long rows of bookshelves are neatly arranged, staggered and extending to the end of the sight.

The tall book ladders along the wall, the vaulted chandeliers, and the long, silent corridor covered with red carpet all indicate that this is a place with an extremely high information density.

"This is the foundation of the great family!"

Bai Yulin sighed and walked between the rows of bookshelves.

He did not flip through the books randomly, but followed the label index on the bookshelf and quickly found a file with a yellowed cover.

Dungeon Monster Manual: Universal Edition

Pulling out the book, Bai Yulin sat down by the window and opened it.

As the yellowed pages rubbed against each other, a series of exquisitely drawn monster illustrations appeared before his eyes:

Goblin, Kobold, War Shadow, Killer Ant, Needle Rabbit...

"Tsk... that's quite a bit of information."

Bai Yulin raised his eyebrows and continued turning the pages.

As the pages of the book turned one by one, the structural framework of the world gradually became clear in his mind.

The dungeon was indeed divided into three sections: upper, middle, and lower, just as he vaguely remembered.

At the same time, beyond the lower level, there are deeper and unknown levels below, but information is extremely scarce.

"So I was on the fifth floor, which is the upper level of 1 to 12."

"But at the 'middle level', the risk index doesn't rise linearly..."

He walked silently to another bookshelf and pulled out a record document with Loki's mark from a pile of heavy volumes.

Loki Family Expedition Record Volume 5

"Volume 5?"

He immediately became interested, and after flipping through the pages, rows of familiar names jumped into his eyes:

Finn, Riveria, Ace, Bert...

This booklet records their most recent deep-level "expedition".

"The mission team briefly rested on the 48th floor, then encountered difficulties while attempting to break into the 52nd floor. They temporarily adjusted their route and ultimately reached the 58th floor..."

"58th floor..."

A thought emerged in Bai Yulin's mind:

"If I remember correctly, Loki's family explored up to the 59th floor."

"In other words, the timeline in which I first joined Loki's family was right before the main storyline began."

P.S. My new book is launching, please give me some data, flowers, comments, etc. Thank you very much!!

Chapter 14: Exploration progress increases, get ready to go!

After briefly browsing a few more books, Bai Yulin had a deeper understanding of the world of Dicuo.

The depth of knowledge is also gradually filling the gap between him and the world.

After closing the last book, he rubbed the corners of his slightly sore eyes, looked down at the sky outside the window, and felt that it was almost time.

He stood up, put the book back in its place, pushed the door open and left the library.

The banquet continued into the evening.

However, there were still some lights in the main hall, and occasional conversations could be heard from the corridor downstairs, but most members had already dispersed, either resting or patrolling.

This also makes the night in the Dusk Hall seem particularly quiet.

Bai Yulin walked through the corridor and headed towards the main hall.

He planned to ask Loki or Finn about his residence.

The air is filled with the warmth of stewed meat and the lingering aroma of wine, which makes people feel quite relaxed.

As soon as they approached, they saw corpses everywhere.

On the long table, beside the chairs, on the floor, and even in the corner under the windowsill, there were "corpses" lying in all directions and twisted and contorted.

Some were still clinging to their wine jars, some were snoring softly with chicken bones hanging from the corners of their mouths, and some were lying on the table, mumbling, "Don't drink anymore, Captain, stop trying to persuade me!"

The aftermath of the banquet had obviously completely "looted" this group of elite adventurers.

"My goodness, this..."

Bai Yulin stood at the door and searched for Loki for a long time but couldn't find him. He guessed that he had been helped back to his bedroom.

But at this moment, his eyes fell on Livilia on the other side of the long table.

Unlike the group of people around her who were "drunk to the point of losing their minds", this mama-san was holding a cup of water, sipping the clear liquid in the cup in small sips.

Noticing Bai Yulin's presence, she raised her eyes and whispered:

"Is something wrong?"

Bai Yulin was stunned when he heard this.

I thought to myself, they are worthy of being the royal family of the elves!

This kind of natural elegance, even in the middle of the night, even if there are drunks lying on the ground around her, she still sits upright, and there is just the right sense of alienation in her words.

"Uh, nothing serious."

Bai Yulin touched the back of his head.

"Just wondering, where is my room?"

Livilia hummed softly when she heard this, rubbing her fingertips on the edge of the water cup. After a moment of thought, she said:

"Second floor, second room from the left."

"It was empty. No one had lived there before."

"it is good."

Bai Yulin nodded and thanked her, without bothering her any further, and turned to walk towards the stairs.

What he didn't notice was that the mama-san that Rocky mentioned had her eyes fixed on him from beginning to end.

The corridor on the second floor was quiet and silent. Occasionally, a few candles flickered on the wall, casting long shadows.

Soon, Bai Yulin found the room that was "the second room from the left to the right" as Livilia said.

Click——

The door opened and a light woody scent filled the air.

The decoration style of the room was quite similar to his previous room in the hotel on North Street.

He fell onto the bed and uttered a soft cry:

"Finally, I can take a break."

He just closed his eyes when the familiar electronic prompt sounded in his ears again:

[Ding! Side quest progress updated!]

[Explore the three iconic buildings of Orario (1/3)·Achieved]

[Current exploration point: "Loki Family·Dusk Mansion"]

[Rewards are being distributed...]

[Chakra limit increased: +500]

[System prompt: Chakra enhancement has been synchronized, and the efficiency of some ninjutsu releases has been improved]

Bai Yulin opened his eyes, looked at the wooden ceiling, and chuckled:

"Just as I expected!"

"The 'three iconic buildings' mentioned in the mission aren't the only three specified."

He turned over and looked out the window at the starry sky.

"Orario is so big, with gods, families, guilds, and so on... it would be unreasonable to limit it to just three places."

"So, it seems the system means: as long as the location is sufficiently 'representative', recording three of them will complete the task."

"The Loki Familia are one of the most important Families in Orario, and their gathering place, the 'Dusk Mansion', is naturally one of them."

Reasonable, rational and in line with the rules.

It could be that the alcohol has flooded into my brain again, or it could be that I'm too tired today.

Bai Yulin only felt his eyelids gradually becoming heavy.

He slept unusually soundly that night.

……

The next morning.

The sunlight slanted in through the window lattice and fell right on Bai Yulin's face.

He couldn't help but frown, and even wrapped the quilt around his head, but he couldn't block out that ray of mischievous light.

Finally, I rubbed my eyes and opened them.

He sat up in bed and rubbed his still aching head.

Maybe it's because the alcohol mixed with those glasses of strong liquor last night hasn't completely dissipated, and my head still feels a little light-headed.

"Sure enough...it was a bit too much."

Muttering, Bai Yulin stood up, put on his clothes, opened the door and walked out.

Coming to the main hall on the first floor, this is the dining hall and public space of the Loki family.
