Letting Lv.1 newcomers join the expedition is almost like a joke.
"When I select expedition members, in addition to necessary personnel such as combat and logistics departments, the only factor to consider is whether the members need to accumulate great achievements. But I heard that you have been training with Lefiya and Line in the middle level.
Grade, great achievements are not difficult for you, right?"
Great achievements can be obtained by forming a team. For example, the expedition of the Loki Familia to at least the 50th floor is undoubtedly a great achievement for 90% of adventurers.
As long as you can follow the large army of Loki Familia, you will have almost accumulated the great deeds required for upgrading.
For the purpose of upgrading his family members, outside of the normal formation, Finn will only allow members who are in urgent need of great achievements to join the expedition team.
"To put it bluntly, if I follow you, I might become a burden, right?"
Jiang Li didn't hide any thoughts at all, and expressed Finn's worries very straightforwardly.
"...Okay, that's true."
Finn spread his hands.
He didn't want to say that. After all, he had to take care of his companion's face, but he didn't expect Jiang Li to take the initiative to make this clear.
Jiang Li's combat skills can indeed be said to be very strong, but he himself is still a bit stretched. Unfortunately, when going on an expedition, what is needed more than combat skills is a strong self.
Because the expedition is a team battle, facing a large number of incoming monsters, it is completely unfeasible to fight each other individually. You must break up the pieces and deal with the monsters in a team battle.
"If I can upgrade before the expedition begins, can you take me with you?"
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Li made a condition that almost made Finn's chin fall.
"What? Upgrade?"
Finn was stunned on the spot.
"If I remember correctly, you have only joined for about 20 days. Have you already reached your limit?"
Even if he has been leveling in the middle level, this speed is too fast to be normal.
You must know that before this, the fastest upgrade speed for Orario from Level 1 to Level 2 was about one year. This record was left by Sword Queen Ais, so Finn could not have remembered it wrong. But now, only 20 days have passed, and he can actually reach the upgrade threshold?
"According to Loki, I can indeed upgrade at any time now, but she asked me to practice again and wait until I reach the limit."
Hearing this, Finn fell into deep thought.
If Loki said this himself, I'm afraid it wouldn't be false.
To be honest, Finn did have a high opinion of Jiang Li and felt that he could definitely break the record left by Aisi. However, according to his estimate, it would take two or three months no matter how fast it was.
20 days... is really beyond common sense.
"Let's do this."
Finn pondered for a long time before raising his serious face.
"I can give you a promise, but the conditions must be changed. Before the expedition begins, if you can reach a tie with Raul... no, hold on in his hands for two minutes, I will agree to let you join the expedition team." Raul Nord, that hedgehog-headed fool.
The front line of Level 4 is very close to Level 5. They are the strongest group among the Loki Familia except the cadres.
"...Okay."
Jiang Li thought for a while, agreed without any further bargaining.
After holding on in Raul's hands for two minutes and upgrading, he was confident that he could do it.
…………
Early morning.
"Qiang!"
A continuous sound of steel clashing came from the atrium, continuously impacting people's eardrums.
A blond girl with a goddess-like appearance and a black-haired boy who is so handsome that even the gods are ashamed are fighting in the open space of the atrium.
The tip of the rapier and the blade of the tachi were constantly clashing under the strong wind that cut through the atmosphere. The speed of the two swords was so fast that they could not be seen clearly with the naked eye.
Aisi's swordsmanship style is a storm-like combo, which is very sharp and has an amazing sense of magnificence. For her, it seems that even fighting has become an art.
But Jiang Li is above it.
His sword is also like a violent storm, and its sharpness seems to be even better than that of Aisi. The process of swinging the sword is like dancing, full of addictive beauty.
"Click-Clang!"
As a blocking sound came out, Aisi's figure subconsciously took a step back, and the hand holding the sword almost became unstable. She increased her strength in time to stabilize the sword in her hand.
"...I lost."
Ais looked at the hand holding the sword, then her eyelids drooped slightly, and she announced defeat with some frustration.
In that blow just now, Jiang Li could have knocked away her sword.
She instinctively used strength beyond Level 1 to stabilize the hilt of the sword.
But the agreement between the two at the beginning of their sword training was not to rely on strong physical strength, but to only compare swordsmanship, so she had actually lost.
"Compared with yesterday, there is one less flaw in your swordsmanship, which is already a good result."
"...I can't compare with you."
Although she was clearly accepting Jiang Li's praise, Ais was not happy at all.
Because Jiang Li used her sword skills.
He did not use his own swordsmanship, but directly learned her swordsmanship during the fight with her, and then used her swordsmanship to defeat her.
In Aisi's eyes, this technique is simply amazing.
"Can't you teach me your sword skills?"
Aisi raised her head and looked at Jiang Li with somewhat unwilling and eager eyes.
She knew that her request was very abrupt, but it also fully demonstrated how convinced and eager she was for Jiang Li's swordsmanship.
"It's not that you can't teach, it's just that if you teach, it will be bad for you."
Jiang Li shook his head.
"Your swordsmanship has already formed its own style. If I rashly change your swordsmanship, it will only make you fall into a state of confusion. If you cannot learn this, you may discard that."
Of course.
If she could have Jiang Li's unreasonable swordsmanship talent, then nothing would be a problem. But unfortunately, Aisi doesn't have his talent, so she can only do it step by step.
The corners of Aisi's raised eyes lowered again.
Even his shoulders were slightly shrugged, looking frustrated and frustrated.
"There's no need to be so frustrated... I can teach you the sword skills I created, but it's up to you to what extent you can learn them."
Jiang Li was slightly speechless. After thinking for a while, he suggested.
"Really?"
Aisi's eyes lit up, and she felt that the world had color again, and her slight depression suddenly disappeared.
"Really."
Jiang Li nodded.
An easy-to-understand girl.
The range of expressions on her face is very small, which often gives people a cold impression, but after actually getting in contact with her, you will find that she is just not good at expressing her thoughts.
Once there are any emotional ups and downs in her heart, she will react very straightforwardly, everything is written on her face, so she can understand it very well.
Like a simple little animal.
Jiang Li sometimes wonders, if he goes up to kill him by touching his head, will Aisi rub his hand with her head like a pet?
