Chapter 31: Riveria and Ace
"Mistress Riveria, and Ace Wallenstein?"
In addition to Micah, Melly also knew both of them.
After all, one of these two is the target that Melly wants to catch up with, and the other is the hero she once wanted to assist.
"You are?"
Hearing Melly's exclamation, Riveria asked suspiciously.
It was not surprising that her name was called Riveria, after all, she was Eulari's strongest magician, and few of Olaria's adventurers did not know her name.
Usually when she encounters strangers in the dungeon, she only nods in response.
And the reason why she responded to Melly out loud was because of Melly's bloodline.
Merry is a hybrid of elves and humans.
As an elven royal family, Riveria naturally cares about the descendants of elves.
"I, my name is Melly Ambrosius."
"Ambrosius!"
Hearing Melly's self-introduction, Riveria's expression couldn't help but move.
The Ambrosius family is a close relative of the royal family among the elves, and it is a family that has diverged from the elven royal family, so Riveria and Merly are related by blood in a sense.
"You haven't been to the school district, have you?"
"Well, I just came out on an adventure."
"That's it!"
Riveria nodded slightly.
Then he looked at Micah and Amide, who were standing in the distance cleaning the battlefield after solving the killer ants.
"That's your companion, right?"
"Yes, they are called Micah and Amid, and we are all companions of the same family, and Micah is also the head of our family."
"And who are your dependents?"
"It's the Yawei family, although it's just a newborn family, but I like the atmosphere there."
"If you like it, it's fine."
Facing Melly, Riveria couldn't help but show the side of the elderly, and her tone was full of concern.
"Then I won't bother you, if you want to learn about magic, you can go to the Loki clan and look for me, and I'll greet the doorman."
"Really?"
Melly asked excitedly.
As a wild magician, Merry is destined to perfect her magic skills only through self-summary.
But if it is De Riveria's teaching, it will definitely avoid many detours.
This will make her strength even stronger.
"Absolutely!"
After patting Melly on the shoulder, Riveria turned and walked away.
"Let's go, Ace."
"Oh!"
Curiously glancing at Melly and Micah and Amide in the distance, Ace quickly turned around and quickly caught up with Riveria's figure.
After seeing the figures of Riveria and the others disappear completely, Melly excitedly ran to Micah and Amide.
"Hahaha! I'm going to learn magic with Mistress Riveria! ”
...
"Yawei family?"
Walking through the dimly lit passages, Riveria muttered thoughtfully.
"What's wrong with the Yawei family?"
Ace, who was following Riveria, asked suspiciously.
At this time, there is a big gap between Ace and the future Ace in terms of personality.
If the future Ace is a natural stay, then the current Ace is a black belly and naughty little mischief.
Therefore, at this time, her personality is still very lively.
Hearing Ace's inquiry, Riveria pondered for a while and decided to tell Ace what she wanted.
"Goddess Yawei, the main god of the Yawei clan, and Lord Loki seem to have known each other for a long time when they were in the Heavenly Realm, and she came to visit Lord Loki some time ago."
"It is said that he was only seven months in the lower realm at the time, and there were three members of the family who had just been accepted, and this should be the three of them."
"So, the three of them should have just been adventurers for seven months at most, right? But I see how they fought before, and they are not below you at all. ”
"Isn't that a little too abnormal?"
As the guardian of the girls around her, Riveria knows exactly how fast Ace is progressing.
But it was precisely because of this that she felt abnormal about the speed of progress of the three Micah.
She didn't understand.
If there was only one person like this, she wouldn't feel as abnormal as she does now, after all, genius is everywhere.
Isn't Ryo Leon, who has just been named 'Wind' by the Asteria family, a rare genius?
But the problem is the number of people, which is too abnormal.
"Isn't it under me?"
Hearing Riveria's evaluation, Ace's eyes flashed with fighting spirit.
"I'm not going to be caught up by them!"
Ace said categorically.
Looking at Ace's scrappy expression, Riveria was stunned and laughed.
"That's right, you won't lose to them."
"Riveria, let's go to the twelfth floor today!"
"Today, you can make an exception!"
And so, amid a confident exchange, Riveria and Ace walked towards the depths of the dungeon.
...
"Lalala!"
Sitting in a corner of the dungeon, Micah and Amide, who were eating lunch, looked at Melly, who was sitting next to them and humming constantly, and shook their heads helplessly.
"Although Riveria is willing to teach you magic, are you too excited?"
"Is there one?"
"Of course there is! Don't believe you ask Amid. ”
Feeling Melly's joyful eyes even when she was puzzled, Amed kept nodding her head.
"Indeed, very excited!"
"Huh, but that's normal, right? After all, that's Mistress Riveria. ”
Recalling the attitude of the elven adventurers towards Riveria, who is an elven royal family, in the original book, Micah decided not to persuade anything more.
Then he used a trick to change the subject.
"You say, should we go to the ninth floor?"
"The ninth?"
Both Amed and Melly's faces became cautious.
Although they had been on the eighth floor for a month now, going to the ninth floor was still a matter of discussion.
Looking at Melly's serious expression, Micah nodded secretly.
After a month's fighting, the personalities of the three have also calmed down a lot.
Although Melly had big dreams in the past, she was only a fourteen-year-old girl after all, and she still had a lot of girlish romance in her heart.
But after this month's grinding, she is more calm and growing towards the way she dreamed.
"Go ahead, although the ninth layer has been strengthened both in terms of the strength of the monster and the speed at which the monster is born, after all, it is not the tenth layer and the eleventh layer, there is no essential difference."
Of the twelve upper layers, the eighth, ninth, and tenth layers belong to the same geomorphological environment.
Compared with the previous seven-story environment, the number of three-story rock chambers has increased a lot, and the ceiling has also changed from two or three meters to seven or eight meters now.
Therefore, compared to the previous narrow environment of the seventh floor, the environment here is slightly more spacious.
At the same time, the number of monsters here, their strength, and even the speed at which monsters are born are different from the previous seven layers.
This is the depths of the upper environment.
And among these three layers, new changes have taken place from the tenth floor.
The entire tenth floor is shrouded in a thick fog, and among the monsters born within it are the 'large species'.
And the so-called 'large species' are all elite monsters among monsters, and their strength far exceeds that of other monsters in the same level.
Therefore, the tenth layer is far more dangerous than the ninth layer.
And after the eleventh layer, it is even more dangerous.
There is the deepest part of the upper level.
Leaving aside the strength of the monster for the time being, the mere fact that 'abnormal events may occur from the eleventh layer onwards' is destined to be full of danger.
But that's all after the tenth floor.
Compared to the later floors, the ninth floor is nothing at all.
"In that case, it's decided, and we'll head to the ninth floor after lunch."
Holding the lunch box, Micah said calmly.
