Chapter 735 The encounter between young Wood and Gale Leon
On the twelfth floor of the dungeon, a young man was running on the grassland at an alarming speed, followed by a large group of black wolf monsters.
If there were other adventurers passing by here at this moment, they would probably think that the boy was being chased by these monsters, and that he had even reached a point of desperation.
However, if you look carefully, you will find that the young man being chased by the black wolves did not look panicked at all, but always had a calm attitude.
Probably feeling that the monsters behind him were almost gathered, Wood turned around directly, then opened his hands, and the next second a red magic circle was quickly outlined in front of him.
The surrounding air began to become scorching, and then a huge tongue of fire shot out from the magic circle in front of the young man a second later, and directly engulfed the black wolves that were chasing him.
The running high temperature instantly engulfed the wolves and continued to blast dozens of meters ahead. Not only did it instantly turn dozens of black wolves into ashes, it also burned out nearly a hundred meters of grassland, leaving behind a large area of scorched earth.
!
When the black wolves turned into charred corpses and fell to the ground, magic stones fell out from their disappeared corpses.
In addition to magic stones about the size of ping pong balls, there were also many materials such as wolf teeth, wolf claws, and wolf tails falling down.
“Sure enough, it’s still very efficient, but the firepower was not controlled well and the noise it made was a bit too big.
It seems that holy-level magic is still a bit overkill for upper-level monsters, so using higher-level magic should be enough."
Needless to say, the boy who appeared on the twelfth floor and walked the black wolves like dogs was naturally Wood.
When he was on the first floor, Wood had been trying to persuade him in various ways, and after he also showed his magic, Liu finally agreed to let Wood act alone first, but he was not allowed to go to floors below the fifth floor.
Wood, who promised fully, had no intention of breaking the agreement at first, but the monsters that appeared on the first five floors really gave Wood a toothache.
Compared to the slimes that appeared on the first level, the undead appeared on the second level, but they were really as brittle as paper skeletons.
As one of the three major wastes in the other world, skeletons are stronger than slimes, but their strength is very limited.
Although this thing has the ability to kill people, it moves as fast as an old man in his 70s or 80s, and the bones in his body break at a touch as if he lacks calcium, which really makes Wood have no desire to fight.
Goblins are the most impressive of the three trash in another world. They are the monsters that appear on the eighth floor. They can not only use weapons such as swords and bows and arrows, but also know how to fight in groups. However, they are physically stronger than humans.
Poor, and short in stature, his fighting ability is just that much.
Because he had a map in his hand, it took Wood less than an hour to get from the first floor to the twelfth floor, and most of that time was spent on the road.
This twelfth floor is the dividing point between the upper floor and the middle floor. The black wolves here are finally worth watching, so there was the scene where Wood was walking the dog...oh no, walking the wolves.
Killing them one by one was too inefficient in Wood's opinion, so he ran directly to the monster group to attract hatred, and then used a spell of magic like an insecticide, directly treating the monsters like trash fish.
Instant kill.
"The floors further down should belong to the middle-level area, so I'm a little bit looking forward to it.
It's a pity that Sister Liu was worried about me running around, so she confiscated the map on the middle floor, otherwise she really wanted to see the monsters on the floor below."
Because he was worried that Wood would mess up, before agreeing to Wood's solo action, Lyu took away the middle-level map from him.
This put an end to Wood's idea of continuing deep into the dungeon.
"Forget it, there will be opportunities in the future anyway, so I'll just brush up my ability points here today, and then I'll meet up with Sister Liu and the others later."
And while Wood was happily chasing the wolves, something did happen on Lyu and Bell's side.
Or maybe Lyu, who was currently on the fifth floor, looked at the entrance to the sixth floor with a rather ugly expression.
The area from the first to the fifth floor of the dungeon is not too large and can be seen to the edge at a glance.
Bell's growth rate was somewhat beyond Lyu's expectations. The boy who was clearly at a loss when it came to facing slimes at first, actually quickly mastered the rhythm and learned and adapted quickly after a few simple instructions from her.
And because of Bell's extremely fast growth rate, Lyu and Bell quickly rushed to the fifth floor of the dungeon.
But when he saw the empty floor with only monsters and a few adventurers, Lyu's face instantly turned ugly.
Now all fools know that this guy Wood did not follow the previous agreement with her and went to the floors below the fifth floor!
"Miss Liu, I think with the leader's strength, nothing will happen..."
Bell also knew how to watch people's emotions. When he saw Lyu's ugly face, he already knew why the other person was angry.
Compared to Lyu, who was not very clear about Wood's strength, Bell was one of the witnesses who had seen Wood defeat the Amazon sisters. What he said at this moment was not just to comfort Lyu, but he really believed that Wood was not capable.
There will be danger.
"Bell, right? I'm sorry, but we may have to go deeper into the floors below at a faster speed.
Of course I can guarantee your safety, but the guidance and training must wait until I find Wood before continuing, is that okay?"
The main purpose of Lyu's coming to the dungeon was to protect Wood. Now that the main target was missing, Lyu naturally had no time to continue walking slowly with Bell.
The other party is Wood's friend. It's not enough to leave him here alone. Then he can only take action by himself, kill the monster as quickly as possible, and go to the floor below.
As for Lyu's actions, Bell naturally had no objections. After all, Lyu had taught him a lot before, and he was already quite grateful to him. Now it was even more impossible for him to expect Lyu to do anything else.
"Miss Liu, there is actually a question that I have been quite curious about before. Is the leader really your brother?"
Bell asked such a question out of genuine curiosity, because anyone with a discerning eye could see that Wood was an ordinary human race, while Lyu was an elf.
If they even have different races, it proves that there is no blood relationship between the two, but Wood and Lyu are regarded as siblings.
When he heard Bell ask this question, Lyu also looked at Bell with his eyes. Because Lyu's eyes were too sharp, Bell who was a little frightened also quickly said: "I actually don't mean anything else."
, because the group leader didn’t say anything about himself and his family.
And I see that Miss Liu seems to care about the leader very much, so that’s why..."
If someone else asked Lyu this question right now, she would probably treat him indifferently, or even feel disgusted with him.
However, the strange thing is that the white-haired boy in front of him has not been in contact with him for a long time, but Liu can't feel any ill feelings towards him.
For her as an elf, this is quite rare. Even the last person who made Lyu have such a favorable impression was Wood, whom she met for the first time.
"As you can see, Wood and I don't even have the same race, so we are not really siblings.
But that child is indeed very important to me.
I used to be stuck in a quagmire and couldn't extricate myself. It was that child who saved me, so for me, he is my most important family member."
The former Lyu Leon was not an ordinary clerk in the "Housemistress of Plenty" store, but a genius who was extremely famous even in the entire Orario.
A powerful adventurer who is known as the star of tomorrow along with the "Sword Princess" who is now Loki's family member, is nicknamed "Hayate".
When Lyu Leon was 12 years old, he was invited by the leader of the Astraea Familia, Alishe Raphael, to join the family and became an adventurer, belonging to the "Asteria Familia".
Moreover, it only took her 5 years to increase her strength to level 4. At that time, Orario's growth rate was second only to the "Sword Princess" at that time.
The 14-year-old Lyu and the then 9-year-old "Sword Princess", also known as Ais Wallenstein, once had a duel due to a misunderstanding. Both of them were Level 3 at the time, and there was no winner.
Because Astraea is the goddess of justice and her family loves fairness and justice, she is hated by many adventurers.
The "Asteria Family" where Lyu belonged was framed by the Dark Faction 5 years ago. They were assassinated by the Dark Faction in the dungeon and encountered Jagannath. All members of the family except Lyu were wiped out.
In order to force Jagannath back, Lyu had to use magic to shoot Alishe, who was helping Lyu delay time. While killing her best friend, she also killed the "justice" in her heart.
Lyu, who survived, first asked Astraea to leave Orario, and then she became an avenger who existed purely for revenge.
In the past, Lyu was an upright person, very gentle when speaking, and would be very concerned and desperate when it came to her companions.
However, the deaths of his companions caused Lyu's personality to change drastically, and he became extremely extreme. In order to get revenge, he would do whatever it takes, and regardless of whether there was evidence or not, as long as someone was suspected of colluding with the Dark Valve, he would choose to kill him.
Over the course of three years, Lyu used all means to kill almost all the people involved in the incident, even those who were merely suspected. Some of the assassination targets even included guild members.
It was also because of Lyu's unscrupulous behavior that she was finally put on the guild's blacklist, and a bounty of 80 million mana was placed on her head.
Lyu assassinated many dark faction lords, ending Orario's dark period, and became a hero hailed as "Wind Leon" by the people.
However, heroes are heroes. Because Liu's actions are too unscrupulous and radical, there are not a few bounty hunters targeting Liu's 80 million mana bounty.
About two years ago, Lyu finally completed all his revenge, but was seriously injured and fainted in a dark alley in Orario.
In the end, he was rescued by Wood who happened to be passing by when he was out shopping for ingredients, and he was brought back to the "Hostess of Plenty" store.
Astraea had been sent out of Orario by him, and Lyu had already avenged her companions. Originally, Lyu didn't care too much about her own life.
But Lyu didn't expect that she, who had committed so many crimes and had her hands stained with blood, did not die because of it in the end, but was saved by someone.
"This beautiful sister, you are an adventurer, right? You were lying on the ground and bleeding a lot, so I brought it back for you."
This is what Wood said to Lu Gang when she woke up, and it was also the first conversation between the two when they first met.
"You saved me? But I'm not a good person, and I'm alone now. Even if you save me, you can't get anything from me."
Looking at the underage kid in front of him, Lyu's first impression was that he was quite clean.
Compared to himself, whose hands were stained with blood and already ridden with sins for revenge, Wood's smile at that time was like a real angel, which made Lyu feel a little ashamed of herself.
"Why should I get anything from Sister Elf? I just did what I wanted to do and don't need anything in return.
It is a just act to lend a helping hand to those in need, and I will become an amazing adventurer like Mia in the future."
When the boy patted his chest and smiled in front of Lyu with a confident tone, Lyu even saw the shadow of his former companion and confidant Alishe Raphael in him.
Although the two of them have nothing in common, they are both so cheerful and righteous.
Also because of being moved by the scene, Lyu, who had just woken up, burst into tears.
Seeing Liu crying because of this, Wood was still in a panic because he thought he had said the wrong thing.
Looking at Wood who was embarrassed at that time, Lyuya realized that he was the one with a bounty on his head. In order not to implicate the young man in front of him, Lyuye struggled to get up and prepared to leave.
Wood, who was aware of the opponent's movements, stretched out his hand to stop the opponent and said: "Sister Elf, your injuries are very serious. It's best not to move around for the time being."
"I am a person abandoned by justice. I am not qualified to stay in a place like this, let alone have the courage to stand in front of you."
Before sending the goddess Astralia out of Orario, the other party once said to herself, "Abandon justice!"
And Lyu once thought that she, the only one who survived, was abandoned by her main god, because the goddess Astralia herself represented order and justice.
"Abandoned by justice? I don't quite understand what you mean by Sister Elf, but I think it is fate that Sister Elf can survive.
If the elf sister dies because of her movements, it will be very troublesome for me.
I saved the elf sister as an act of justice, but if the elf sister still died because of this, wouldn't my justice be obliterated because of it?
So I will not let Elf Sister leave like this, otherwise it will not be that I have been abandoned by justice, but that I have abandoned justice!"
