Chapter 38: Re-entering the Dungeon
The sunset gradually stained half of the sky red, and after returning to the tavern from the Tower of Babel, Wei Jun's face was not optimistic.
He really couldn't understand why Freya was still staring at him, was it because he was shopping with Ciel that day?
Just kidding!
Although Wei Jun already had a faint conjecture, this guess had no basis.
You must know that the whiteness of the soul has a great relationship with the purity of the heart.
A young man like Bell, who is pure and has an extremely determined dream, has reached a dazzling level of whiteness in his soul.
As for whether Wei Jun himself is pure?
When he asked this question to himself, even he felt funny.
Are there people on earth who are pure in mind and soul?
That thing is probably even rarer than the national treasure giant panda, and it may be extinct!
Under the influence of today's social climate, the word purity does not exist at all!
Of course, these two words Wei Jun have nothing to do with it, and he is destined to lose his life in this life.
In that case, why is he still being targeted by Freya?!
This question almost blew up Wei Jun's brain, but he couldn't figure out a result.
Wei Jun, who really couldn't figure it out, could only give up helplessly.
The strong sense of uneasiness and urgency in his heart made Wei Jun simply eat dinner and ask Hestia to go upstairs to update his state.
After the status update, Wei Jun also got his latest updated ability points.

*
After the last life-and-death battle, Wei Jun's ability value can be said to have grown by leaps and bounds.
This is also because Wei Jun is just a lv.1 rookie adventurer, if you change to a lv.4 or lv.5, it is already very good to be able to increase the total ability value of 1~3 per battle.
According to Wei Jun's ability value to enter from i to h, it means that Wei Jun is already qualified to enter the second dungeon.
According to the instructions in the Adventurer's Handbook, the best place for adventurers with level I stats is on the first floor.
When you reach h, you'll be eligible to enter the second tier of adventures.
When Wei Jun saw the data of the ability value in his hand, he was both excited and a little emotional. Should it be said that life and death battles are the best 'shortcuts' to improve one's strength?
Bidding farewell to Hestia, Wei Jun fell asleep with the Hestian Blade in his arms early that night.
With the lesson of the last time, Wei Jun will no longer underestimate the danger in the dungeon, nor will he think that he will be able to survive if he is fully prepared.
So tomorrow he needs to be in good shape to enter the dungeon.
*
Early the next morning, Wei Jun took the bento that Xi'er and the others had prepared for themselves and went out.
may be because he came early, and when Wei Jun entered the Tower of Babel, he was not targeted by Freya.
Once again, Wei Jun didn't have the nervousness he felt when he first entered the dungeon.
Along the way, Wei Jun didn't take the initiative to provoke the goblins on the road, because his destination today was the second layer.
Through the ability map, Wei Jun entered the second floor of the dungeon all the way unhindered.
The terrain on the second floor of the dungeon is no different from the first floor, except that a new monster appears on the second floor.
Gecko type monster, [Dungeon Lizard].
They have short limbs that resemble the silhouette of a lizard. Rough brown skin, and a thin tongue that slips out of a mouth that splits horizontally.
If you count the long tail, the total length may reach about 1.6 meters.
The combat power of this monster is similar to that of goblins, and they are all in the ranks of low-level monsters.
The only thing worth noting is that dungeon lizards usually lurk on the walls of the labyrinth through the camouflage of their skins, waiting for an opportunity to deal a fatal blow to adventurers who pass by them.
If their disguise is seen through by others, they are like a piece of pork on a cutting board.
For ordinary adventurers, the camouflage of this dungeon lizard may be difficult to see, but for Wei Jun, who has the ability map, they are no different from the flickering street lights on the side of the road in the dark.
When passing by a dungeon lizard lurking on the side of the road, Wei Jun split the monitor lizard into two with a knife before the other party could make a move.
Picking up the fallen magic stone fragments, Wei Jun couldn't help but frown.
"Do you want to go to the third floor?"
Wei Jun hesitated.
This was already the fifth dungeon lizard he had tackled casually, and the goblins that intercepted him on the way were also cut down by Wei Jun.
This kind of battle, which can be easily ended, has no effect on his strength.
Wei Jun didn't enter the dungeon to make money, such a battle was meaningless.
Looking down at the Hestian Blade, Wei Jun bit his silver teeth.
"Go!"
The third layer is indeed much more dangerous than the second layer, but if he can't beat him, he can't escape!
Instead of wasting time here, it's better to go down and give it a go.
Wei Jun also knew that his decision was dangerous, but he wanted to become stronger but didn't dare to take risks, how could there be such a good thing in this world.
After killing many people who got in the way along the way, Wei Jun finally came to the entrance of the third floor.
Taking a deep breath, Wei Jun stepped into the third floor of the dungeon.
The third basement layer is quite dangerous for adventurer rookies.
Because in addition to goblins and dungeon lizards, a new kind of monster has appeared on this level.
Kobold!
Compared to Goblins and Dungeon Lizards, Kobolds are much more powerful in combat.
Tall about 1.8 meters, with a strong body and a fierce and brutal temperament, the kobold with this sharp canine teeth and claws is far more dangerous than goblins and dungeon lizards.
In terms of combat effectiveness, the kobold's combat power is much stronger than that of an ordinary adult man.
In addition, the third floor will often encounter three or two teams of monsters.
This has been clearly stated in the Dungeon Adventure Manual, and Wei Jun also remembers this clearly.
It stands to reason that Wei Jun, an adventurer rookie who entered the dungeon for the second time, should never appear on this level, but he still came.
With his few courages and choices.
If Wei Jun was still as stress-free as ever, a life-sparing guy like Wei Jun would only choose the safest way to increase his strength, instead of making such an unwise decision.
It's a pity that the great god Freya has put too much pressure on him, if Wei Jun can't have the strength to protect himself as soon as possible, he will be played to death by the sick goddess sooner or later.
Of course, now Wei Jun still hopes that being targeted by Freya is just an illusion on his part.
Stopping his progress, Wei Jun's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the monsters in front of him.
Two goblins, one kobold, and a team of monsters of different races are common in this kind of novice 'dungeon'.
"Hmm~Wang~"
The kobold and the goblin behind it had been on guard before Wei Jun was in their line of sight.
It's easy to understand that dogs' noses have always been very bright.
If he hadn't smelled such a strong smell of blood on Wei Jun's body, Wei Jun might have doubted its true variety.
"Well! Since you've all bumped into each other on your own, let's cut you first. β
Wei Jun turned a blind eye to the threat of the kobold and the two goblins behind him.
Charged, the knife rose and fell, and the kobold's head flew high from its neck.
In the next second, the dead kobold turned into a black mist and disappeared in front of the two stunned goblins.
Before the remaining two goblins could come to their senses, Wei Jun slashed back at the goblin closest to him, splitting it into two pieces with one sword.
At the same time, turn around and kick in the roundhouse!
As Wei Jun swung his sword, he twisted his body and quickly turned around and kicked out, kicking the last goblin into the wall of the labyrinth.
Before the last goblin fell to the ground, Wei Jun, who had already given birth to new power, sprinted again, and the Hestian blade in his hand directly stabbed the goblin to the heart and nailed it to the wall.
"Poof!"
The last goblin also turned to ashes, dropping the magic stone.
Picking up the loot on the ground, Wei Jun walked deeper into the third layer.
*
At noon, after a whole morning of fighting, Wei Jun avoided the dense area of monsters and came to a remote place.
After glancing at the ability map, after confirming that there were no monsters around, Wei Jun put the Hestian Blade within reach, and then sat down.
Taking out the lunch and a glass of divine wine that Xi'er and the others had prepared for themselves, Wei Jun's nerves that had been tense all morning finally relaxed a little.
Although drinking alcohol in this dangerous dungeon is taboo, Wei Jun needs to use divine wine to numb his nerves.
Although Wei Jun had been baptized with blood a while ago, Wei Jun still felt a little uncomfortable in this morning's fighting.
It's not difficult to understand that everything has a stage of adaptation, not to mention this kind of bloody trial.
Shaking his head and leaving the distracting thoughts in his mind behind, Wei Jun gulped down the lunch in his hand as usual.
It's just that as soon as the food in his hand was in his mouth, Wei Jun's face changed, and he almost didn't squirt out all the things in his mouth.
It's unpalatable!
These three big words appeared in Wei Jun's mind.
"No wonder Ciel and Hestia were embarrassed when they brought me food today, only they could make such an unpalatable thing."
Hestia's craftsmanship is unclear, but Cier's craftsmanship is mentioned in the novel.
Wei Jun didn't know how exaggerated Xi'er's dark cuisine was in the novel, but this thing in Wei Jun's hand was sour, spicy, salty, bitter, and all the flavors were occupied.
After staring at the material in his hand for a long time, Wei Jun finally sighed and still didn't throw it away.
It's a little unpalatable, but it's also Xi'er's intention.
Remembering the hopeful and expectant looks in Ci'er and Hestia when they brought him food, Wei Jun silently ate a bite of the food in his hand and a sip of divine wine.
With the delivery of divine sake, no matter how hard it is to swallow, it is difficult to eat it.
After solving the problem of lunch and taking a short rest, Wei Jun exhaled a breath of turbid air and picked up the Hestian Blade, and once again walked towards the place where the monsters were densely distributed.
After a while, somewhere in one of the many battlefields on the third floor of the dungeon, a battle began, and the killing came again!
*
Sunset.
He still came out of the dungeon covered in blood, but this time Wei Jun's condition was much better than the last time.
At least there was still a clear look in his eyes full of anger.
Following the returning army into the public bathhouse of the Tower of Babel, and after washing the blood off his body, Wei Jun left the Tower of Babel and walked in the direction of the tavern.
As soon as he walked out of the Tower of Babel and came to Central Park, a familiar gaze came again, and Wei Jun, who was hurrying, trembled.
"Here we go again, this damn thing is endless!"
The top of the Tower of Babel.
Looking at Wei Jun's panicked and fleeing figure, Freya's beautiful face couldn't help but evoke a beautiful smile.
"I haven't seen it for a day, and I'm getting stronger again. At this level, you should be able to use magic. β
With her index finger resting on her slender jaw, Freya reluctantly looked away from Wei Jun.
Smiling, Freya walked over to the bookshelf sitting in the corner of the room.
This shelf is large and there are many types of books on the shelf.
Freya stretched out her slender fingers and pulled out a heavy book from the shelf.
After flipping through a few pages to confirm the contents, Freya chuckled and nodded.
"Horta."
Freya called a name.
"Yes."
A majestic voice answered her.
I don't know if it was indoors from the beginning, but at the door of the room stood a giant man like an iron tower.
The four features of a human being, an orc with a pair of pigs in his short colored hair. With a body like steel pouring, this is a giant man who is more than two meters tall.
Unlike other anime and novels, the appearance of orcs in this world is not much different from that of humans, except for some differences in ears and tails.
This giant man is the leader of the Freya clan, known as the ultimate weapon of Olarie, and a legendary existence among adventurers, Otta!
Standing like a statue, he waited like a loyal dog for Freya's next words as his master.
"...... this book"
Freya, who handed out the book in her hand, suddenly interrupted in the middle of her speech.
With her lips closed, Freya frowned and stared at the book in her hand.
"What happened?"
β...... Well, nothing. Forget it, I'll forget what I just did. β
"Yes."
Ignoring Horta, who was expressionless and faithful to her robot, Freya looked at the book in her hand and smiled.
Yes, there is no need for precious subordinates to send books.
If this strong man had brought this book to him, the timid guy would have been scared, or would have been suspicious all day long.
There is no need to hand it over by hand, as long as the book can reach him.
Just put it there.
Now that the child lives there, if you put it there, you can hand it over to him anyway.
In the slightly darkened room, Freya whispered a laugh.
*
"Ahh
Ciel let out a cute sneeze.
Holding the posture of covering the side of her mouth with her palm, Ci'er's face turned red after a while.
Looking around in a panic, he found that the eyes of the girls in the store were attracted to him, and Xi'er buried her head deeply with her red cheeks.
"Xi'er, do you have a cold?"
"Hmm-hmm. It's okay, it doesn't matter. β
Xi'er, who was questioned by her friend Liu, smiled wryly with her still flushed cheeks.
Looking up at the sky outside, Ciel said.
"By the way, Jun should come back at this time, I'll go out and pick him up."
"Hoo~huh~ I'm back!"
As soon as Xi'er's words fell, he saw Wei Jun sweating profusely and panting and running in.
"Huh?! Joon, it doesn't matter to you. β
Looking at Wei Jun's appearance as if he was being hunted down, the girls showed worried and puzzled looks.
"Whew! It's okay. β
Half-paralyzed in his chair, Wei Jun waved his hand to the girls to indicate that he was fine.
Sure enough, it is still the warmest and most secure place in the home.
In every sense of the word!
