The return journey at the end of the expedition is not something to be commended.

At least, for the usual Loki clan.

As a great clan that can fight at a deep level below the 50th floor, the obstacles encountered on the way home are almost not worth mentioning.

In the past, once the Loki clan set foot on the return journey, there was only one result——— unimpeded.

But this time, because the materials were destroyed by the corrosive liquid of the worm monster, and even the weapons were dissolved, the Loki clan ran into a lot of trouble on the return trip.

If nothing else, filling your stomach alone is a problem.

Loki's family, who were left with only a handful of emergency food, had to collect local materials in the dungeon in order to fill their stomachs, and every day they needed to find a safe place to set up camp and go out to pick wild fruits, wild vegetables and other things to satisfy their hunger, which itself took a lot of time to return.

The same is true when encountering monsters, due to the loss of weapons and armor, many members of the team are not even able to fight, and can only play empty-handed, resulting in a lot of risks when facing the enemy, and a lot of time is delayed.

Thanks to this, it only took about five or six days for the Loki clan to return to the surface smoothly, but this time it took nearly eight days to successfully return to the surface.

On this day, it happened to be dusk.

When all the people of Loki's clan walked out of the Tower of Babel, the surrounding adventurers were immediately attracted to attention.

No matter where they go, the Loki clan is so eye-catching, which is the fate of being one of the strongest clans in the city.

It's just that everyone can't control the surrounding sight and discussion.

"Ahh It's finally back! ”

Theona was the first to shout at the sky.

"Can you not be so noisy every time? It's a shame! ”

Tionne complained on the side, but his expression was visibly relaxed.

The rest of the people did the same to a greater or lesser extent, even Rigg was no exception.

"I'm back."

Looking at the sunset on the horizon, Rieg himself felt as if he hadn't been back for a long time.

Although the dungeon has all kinds of wonders, but after all, it is underground, you can't see the sky, and you need to be on guard all the time in that kind of place, fighting monsters, it's good that the time is short, but once the time is long, then no matter who you are, you will feel particularly depressed.

Not so with Rige.

Once, he was a ruthless man who had survived in the wild for months, how could he feel depressed because of the dungeon life in less than a month?

However, the moment he saw the sky, Li Ge still had a feeling that he couldn't help but relax his mind.

"Perhaps, I just don't know that there are some particularly depressing places in my heart, right?"

Rig thought silently.

"That proves I'm still alone anyway, right?"

Thinking about it, Rig smiled.

"Alright, let's go home."

The regimental leader's mask that Finn had been wearing on his face also fell off, and he returned to the amiable appearance that everyone recognized.

Everyone suddenly began to talk and laugh, and they all relaxed the strings that had been tense in their hearts, and walked out of the square in front of the Tower of Babel in groups, and walked in the direction of the street where the Twilight Hall was located.

Along the way, adventurers and civilians alike saluted the Loki family.

It is believed that in the near future, the news of the return of the Loki clan from the expedition will reach the ears of the major clans of Olali one by one.

Under such circumstances, the gate of the Pavilion of Dusk gradually appeared in front of me.

The members of the family guarding the gate were still standing there with expressionless faces, looking solemn, until they saw the return of the expedition led by Finn, their faces changed.

"It's the regimental leader!"

"The head of the regiment is back!"

"The expedition is back!"

It didn't take long for a surprise announcement to ring out in the Pavilion of Dusk.

"Captain!"

The two gatekeepers also hurriedly saluted Finn and the others.

"We're back." Finn smiled at them and said, "Open the door." ”

"Yes!"

The two members of the group were about to open the door.

"Oooh! Come back! ”

Theona was the first to rush in.

"It's a shame to say it, don't you understand?"

Tione covered her face.

"Every time I come back, I can be so noisy, I really serve that Amazon."

Bert couldn't take it anymore.

"Miss Ace, we're home."

"Hmm."

Refia simply expressed her joy there, in exchange for a soft response from Ace.

So they walked into the courtyard and came to the mansion.

Here, a group of left-behind members of the group were already waiting, greeting everyone in the family for a while.

Of course, on this occasion, a certain god who wants to pierce the eyes will naturally not be absent.

"You're finally back——!"

Inside the mansion, a figure quickly pounced out and pounced on this side.

No, it should be said that the other party pounced on a group of women.

"Ai! Silk! Carbon! ”

Just as when Rig first saw the return of his family's expedition, Loki recreated the scene and pounced on Ace.

In this regard, Ace, Tiona, and Theogne, including the female members, did not hesitate to turn around and avoid Loki.

Refia was the only one standing there, stunned, pounced on by Loki.

"Huh? Alas, alas, alas! ”

Refia only had time to let out a scream like a violated maiden, and then she was crushed to the ground.

"Hee-hee-hee, Refia, it's been a long time, let Mom and I see if you've grown, right?"

"No, don't——!"

With a salty and wet laugh, the elf girl who was under the hands of the main god let out a miserable scream.

"Help me! Mr. Riger! ”

Refia held out a hand in Rige's direction, her face flushed and pleading.

"Stop playing, Loki."

Rig hadn't intended to pay attention to Loki's bad interest, but Refia's tearful appearance was so pitiful that Rig couldn't bear to watch his teammates being toyed with by the salty gods.

Rig reached out and grabbed Loki by the back collar and lifted him up.

"Oh, what are you doing, Riege, don't disturb my rare time of entertainment!"

Loki struggled and protested.

"Are you embarrassed to spoil a 15-year-old girl?" Rige glanced at Loki and said, "If you want to have fun, you can have fun with Old Man Grace." ”

"Who wants to touch a short, thick stinky man!"

Loki said this without hesitation.

“...... I'm a short, thick stinky man, and I'm really sorry. ”

A black line hung from Grace's forehead.

"Are you alright? Refia? ”

Rig ignored Loki and tossed him aside, then reached out and pulled Refia up.

"Woo..... I almost got touched where I couldn't touch it....."

Refia was glad and pitifully sobbed.

"I'm sorry, Refia."

Ace seems to feel guilty for avoiding Loki's direct attack and causing Refia to be murdered.

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Naturally, Refia would not accept Ace's apology, and quickly shook her head.

"Hey, Loki, don't bully Refia, okay?"

Theona crossed her back and reprimanded.

"Can't you just welcome us back in a different way?"

Tionne's face was full of annoyance.

"Well, don't say that." Loki said with a smile as if his face had changed, "Finally, everyone returned safely, and I'm so happy." ”

"You." Riveria sighed and said, "Since we rarely return safely, can't you let us save some effort?" ”

The people around nodded in agreement.

"Don't play tricks, get out of the way, I've been in a ghost place like a dungeon for so long, my body stinks, let people line up to take a bath!"

Bert stepped forward and raised his leg and kicked Loki several times, looking very bad.

"Okay, okay, alas, when children grow up, they like to reject their parents, this is the rebellious period, right?"

Loki pretended to sigh and let Bert kick her hard, finally making her cry out in pain and get out of the way.

"Let's go and take a shower first."

Seeing this, Finn, who had been laughing, spoke up.

"According to the usual practice, today is off, all the work will be put on tomorrow, Loki, the report will be done by you later, this time the loss is heavy, and something has happened, we have to discuss it carefully."

"No problem, no problem, let's go take a shower and rest." Loki smiled and said, "Anyone who wants to update our ability value can also come to the god room to find me, but don't have too much, otherwise we won't do it." ”

Hearing this, two people reacted to these words.

It was Rieg and Ace.

"Sure enough, it's the two of you who are most eager to update your stats." Loki rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, okay, then the two of you will go first tonight, and the rest will find time next time." ”

No one expressed an opinion on this decision.

On the other hand, there are people who are looking forward to it.

"Now, Lige, you should be able to reach Lv.5 this time, right?"

Theona's curious inquiry drew everyone's attention.

"I don't know."

Li Ge felt that there should be no problem, but he was not a person who would boast about Haikou, so he did not answer too absolutely.

Even so, many people are looking forward to Rieger's ability stats.

Even Ace.

After all—

"Rige, who is already very strong, will become even more powerful if he is promoted to Lv.5?"

For some reason, Ace was desperate to know about it.

......

Night, in a bustle of noise.

After taking a shower and eating, the members of the expedition basically went back to their rooms to rest, making the entire Dusk Pavilion seem particularly peaceful.

Rig also took a shower, finished eating, and went back to his room before heading to the top floor of the central tower ——— the god room.

"Loki, are you there?"

Rig knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Hearing Loki's response, Rig pushed open the door and walked inside.
