053 Cadmus Spring

The 50th floor is a safe floor where no monsters will spawn.

There are many safe floors like this, although there is no guarantee that there will be no monsters at all, there are not many monsters that can cross the floor from other floors, so staying in the safe floor is less likely to have sudden accidents and the danger of attack, making these safe floors the preferred rest area for adventurers in the dungeon.

The Loki clan occupied an easily defended cliff on the 50th floor and used it as a camp.

At this time, the camp has been basically completed, and the members of the group have finished their busyness, gathered around the bonfire, and started to eat here.

A cauldron was boiling on the campfire burning in the center of the camp, and the members of the group sat around it, resting, chatting and eating.

Li Ge also sat in a corner, holding a bowl of soup in his hand, and before he had taken a few sips, a helpless look appeared on his face.

"Hmph, look where you're going."

Theona sat to Rige's left, as if she had caught him, with a smug expression on her face.

"Really, I was told by the head of the regiment."

Tionne, however, was a little unhappy, and sat next to Theona, munching on the wild fruits she had picked to satisfy her hunger.

“......”

Ace sat on the right, neither holding the soup nor the wild fruit in her hand, and directly ate the rations she carried with her, looking very unnutritious.

As for Refia, she's down.

"Ahh Sit between Mr. Rieg and Miss Ace .....! ”

The elven girl who was sandwiched between Rig and Ace had a happy flush on her face for some reason.

In this situation, Rig glanced around.

Sure enough, many people cast envious and jealous eyes, and even Bert was grinning and annoyed, as if he wanted to punish Li Getian, who was surrounded by Gentle Township (daughter country).

“..... Forget it, ignore it. ”

Rig had to bury his head in the soup and find nothing to do.

When everyone had almost eaten, Finn, as the leader of the clan, spoke up.

"I'll start with two words."

Finn's voice caught everyone's attention.

"First of all, thank you." With a smile that has rarely been shown since entering the dungeon, Finn said, "This time we reached the 50th floor safely, and there were no sacrifices or attrition, which alone is worth congratulating." ”

"The real test is yet to come, though."

Finn narrowed his smile slightly.

"Our goal was never to reach the 50th floor, but to reach the 59th floor ——— the realm."

This is a level that the Loki clan has yet to explore.

The highest arrival floor of the Loki clan is the 58th floor, and in this case, going to the 59th floor to explore the wilderness has become the first goal of the clan.

"There is no doubt that the floor we are about to arrive on is an area that many of the Horari families have not reached, not even the Freya family has ever entered the 59th floor."

Finn's voice reached everyone's ears, taking their breath away.

"If we and the Loki clan can successfully reach the 59th floor and open up the unreached realm, then regardless of the gain, fame alone, we are destined to make the whole of Olari famous and go down in history."

With a faction like Loki's family, exploring dungeons is no longer just about gaining wealth and power, but also about fame.

As long as they have enough fame, the Loki clan can continue to grow, attract more adventurers to vote, and can also ask for more convenience and benefits from the guild and the city, making the clan's position in Orali more and more unshakable.

Therefore, at the level of the Loki family, what is needed is no longer the operating funds that the small family depends on to survive, but fame and glory.

For the sake of fame and glory, even some degree of profit can be sacrificed at the expense.

In view of this, reaching the 59th floor is now the first goal of the Loki family.

"Before we can head to the 59th floor, though, we need to complete a commission first."

Finn turned his head and said so.

"I need to send a handful of elites into the 51st floor to collect the specified amount of water in the Cadmus Spring."

As soon as the words fell, the faces of many of the members present changed.

"Isn't it? Are you going to provoke that troublesome Cadmus Spring? ”

Theona, who was sitting next to Rige, groaned.

Ace looked up at Finn.

Rieger also had information about the Cadmus Fountain in his head.

This is an extremely rare fountain distributed in the 51st floor.

The water collected from this spring can be used to make very precious elixirs.

Among the commercial families, many of them are mainly engaged in pharmaceuticals, and there is a demand for this spring water.

In particular, those who have names and surnames in the pharmaceutical department have a high demand for this kind of spring water that can only be collected in the ultra-deep layer, so they have entrusted the Loki family to collect a specified amount of spring water more than once by entrusting the Rocky family to reach the 51st floor.

Requests like this one are often referred to as risk-taker commissions.

Some clans who don't have the strength to reach the designated floor and collect the materials they need often send such adventurer commissions to those who have the strength, and let the other party collect the materials for themselves at the cost of paying a certain reward.

This time, the Loki family received the commission.

It's just that it's never easy to accomplish.

"Cadmus Springs has a Guardian."

Finn spoke rather solemnly.

"Cadmus, a dragon monster known as the "strong dragon", the spring water of the spring is basically the property of this monster, and every time it gushes out, most of it will be swallowed up."

In other words, if you want to get the water from the Cadmus Spring, you have to face this dragon.

And this strong dragon has a classification level of ——— Lv.6.

It is a rare species of specialized power, and if it is purely about strength, even the 37th floor master Udaios is no match for it.

This is also the reason why most of the members of the group changed their complexion when they heard it, and even Theona couldn't help but moan, and Ace became serious.

Of course, if that's all there is, this commission wouldn't be too cumbersome.

Udaios has come over to fight, and with the strength of the Loki clan, what else do you need to fear of a strong dragon?

The problem is that this time, Finn only intends to send a handful of elites.

"There is a limit to the amount of water that can be collected from a single Cadmus spring, and in order to reach the specified amount, we have to go to two springs."

"I've been in the dungeon for two weeks, and I don't have much food and supplies left, considering that the adventurer will have to go to the 59th floor after the commission, and the return trip will take at least five or six days, so I can't spend too much time on the adventurer's commission, so as not to cause the loss of supplies."

"Therefore, we have to divide our troops into two routes and go to two springs at the same time, so as to improve efficiency and shorten the time, and the location of the springs cannot allow too many people to pass through, so it is better to have fewer people to collect water from the springs, so it will be more convenient to move."

Finn pointed to one consideration and put it this way.

"This time the adventurers are commissioned, mainly the first-level adventurers, and a few elites will be sent to the camp, and the rest will stay in the camp."

With that, Finn began to select members.

First of all, of course, there are the leaders and cadres.

Since they are mainly first-level adventurers, of course they can't escape.

"I, Grace, and Bert are in a trio, and I'll find another Lv.4 to come and be a supporter."

"Ace, Diona, Tionne, you are in a team of three, and you can also find a reliable supporter."

"Riveria stays in the camp and is in charge of the defense of the stronghold."

With Finn's arrangement, a group of first-level adventurers nodded one after another.

Only Bert, frowning.

"Hey, isn't it okay to have no Lv.6 in the second group?"

The opponent is a dragon monster that is stronger than the floor master on the 37th floor in terms of strength, and the classification level is also Lv.6.

Against that kind of monster, the second group doesn't even have a Lv.6, which is really worrying.

But Finn was clearly considered as well.

"No problem, right? Ace? ”

Finn turned to look at Ace, and instead of responding to Finn, he calmly asked the girl.

"No problem."

Ace replied with a blank face, leaving Bert speechless.

Everyone knew why Finn was the only one to ask Ace.

It's just because Ace's strength is not inferior to Lv.6.

Lv.5's top-level ability value, coupled with the exceptional level of wind added magic, Ace is definitely able to exert a strength comparable to Lv.6.

With Ace here, even if the second group faces the strong dragon, it won't be too much of a problem.

Rieg was a little more tired.

"The regiment commander is grouped like this, it should also be to hone the ability of the family cadres, right?"

The Lv.5 family cadres will inevitably be the pillars of the future.

But whether it is Ace, or the two sisters, Tiona and Tiogne, they are still young, not even 18 years old.

At this age, in my previous life, I hadn't even finished high school.

In order to give these young future pillars as much training as possible and exercise their ability to fight independently, Finn deliberately arranged this way to form a team of three young girls.

As for Bert, who is also Lv.5, this werewolf is 22 years old and has experienced a lot more things than others, so he doesn't need to worry too much.

The only problem is that only these three young girls are allowed to act, even if there is no problem in terms of strength, the course of action is still a little uneasy.

After all, these three people are not the type who can calmly deal with emergencies and make various arrangements properly, and if they are only allowed to act, some accidents will inevitably occur.

"So be it."

Finn turned to Rigg.

"Riege, you go with them."

As soon as these words came out, everyone once again focused their attention on Riege.

"Me?"

Rieg was stunned.

"That's right." Finn suddenly smiled and said meaningfully: "In the situation where a first-level adventurer is needed, with your strength, do you think you can escape?" ”

Everyone understands what this sentence means.

Finn's implication is simple.

Like Ace, he believes that Rieg already has the strength to not lose Lv.5.

Not only did Finn think so, but after discussion, the heads of the clan such as Riveria and Grace all believed that the current Rig had a strength that was not inferior to Lv.5.

Therefore, this time, Finn not only has to hone Ace and the others, but also hone Riege.
