Civilization Guardian Front

Tifa...

For some reason, the black-haired girl who didn't show up with the rest of the Loki family quietly leaned against the pillar of the hall, her eyes as warm as water, just stared at him like this.

It seems that it still stayed on Nazha for a while...

Smelling a faint smell of trouble, he held the dog-eared girl's little hand without hesitation, turned around and walked in the opposite direction of the Twilight Pavilion.

Taking advantage of the fact that the deputy head of the other party's family is currently busy teaching the members and has no time to worry about other things, leave as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, things backfired...

"Ah, ancient heroes discovered!"

Tiona, who was bored waiting for the end of Riveria's lecture, was keenly aware of the movement of the two.

"cut..."

The moment Chios smacked his lips, the plan was exposed, and the Amazon girl who was approaching quickly grabbed his left arm.

"Wow! It's so strong! Help me!"

Chios twitched his arm, the unexpected force almost made Diona lose his grip, and hurriedly called for support.

The next moment, the soft touch that was several times more plump than the left hand tightly wrapped around his other hand.

"Why are you in such a hurry to escape?"

His arms were restricted by two first-level adventurers whose strength exceeded his own. It could be said that Chios was held in their arms. It was impossible to escape unless he exploded with ghost energy.

He set his sights on his partner.

However, the only thing that came into view was the other party's snickering reaction.

Chapter 470 Four? Free consultation ends here

Northern Main Street, Twilight Pavilion, Reception Room...

Losing the support of his partner, facing the pincer attack of two first-level adventurers, Chios and Naza could hardly escape, so they were "invited" to visit the base of the Loki family.

Fortunately, they didn't know whether they believed that being too enthusiastic would easily produce counterproductive effects or simply because they had no intention of destroying the consensus with Freya. Their main god Loki did not show up this time.

Except for the people encountered in the lobby on the first floor of the Tower of Babel, the rest of the troublemakers were all stopped by the head of the group, Finn.

Too many adventurers from the same family were present, and the sense of encirclement and coercion was too strong, and it was not easy for the guests to speak well.

If you want to maintain a friendly relationship, creating an atmosphere of reciprocity is undoubtedly necessary.

Thus, six Loki family members and two visitors occupied a large reception room...

The new member Tifa quickly prepared hot tea for everyone, and when he bent down to put the cups and plates on the table in front of Chios, the two executors exchanged eyes silently.

Find a place to talk later...

"Then, explain in detail why you were two days late returning to the surface."

Unsurprisingly, Rivilia, who was sitting on the single sofa with her back to the door, first asked about the reason for the delay of Aisi and Refia's trip.

After the two told about the abnormal changes in the frequency of monster generation, and what happened after encountering Chios on the safe floor, the elf girl couldn't help but bow her head and ponder.

The dungeon with self-awareness will occasionally have abnormal situations, and a little carelessness in dealing with it will often bring huge casualties to the adventurers.

Even with the strength and scale of the Loki family, these variables cannot be underestimated.

It is not just the top cadres who are dispatched during the family expedition, but also teams responsible for repairing equipment, cooking in the camp, transporting supplies...etc.As the speed, intensity, and number of monsters were born changed, the distribution of combat power of the expedition team would have to be adjusted accordingly.

Increasing the manpower to protect the logistics means that the frontline personnel need to bear more pressure, which makes it more difficult to explore the deep layer.

It is unclear whether the situation that Ai Si and the others are talking about is a short-term or long-term change.

The former is fine, if the latter...

Maybe the date of the next expedition should be postponed, and the investigation and handling of the abnormal situation should be prioritized, otherwise, it is necessary to consider cooperating with other family members to explore.

"Oh, is it true!? Aisi, can you beat him with your swordsmanship?"

The only Diona who sat on the chair restlessly and leaned cross-handed on the back of the sofa chair had a completely different focus from the deputy head.

"Hmm..." Mentioning the fact that she was inferior to others, the blond girl nodded without the annoyance that adventurers usually face.

"Every move was seen through."

"I was in a special state at the time..."

Chios pinched the ear of the cup and took a sip of the hot tea.

"To fight against Miss Wallenstein now, it will definitely be the opposite."

It's a pity that the young man's humble words are not enough to stop the Amazon girl's curiosity.

"Even so, it's still amazing!"

Unaware of the dog-eared girl's fierce stare, Tiona jumped onto the sofa where the guest was sitting, approached the young man, and asked:

"Hey, how did you train so strong without grace?"

Hearing this, Aisi's movement of reaching for the teacup froze, and Refiya and Nazha, who didn't know about it, were also stunned.

Tione, who was sitting on the left side of Jian Ji, rubbed her brows helplessly.

Thanks to his outspoken sister, there is no way to hide this matter any longer.

"Loki said, he doesn't smell of divine blood."

She whispered a brief explanation to Aisi, and looked at the other party's golden eyes that suddenly widened, and sighed inwardly.

"Tiona, you are so rude to the guests."

"Ah ha ha..."

Diona, who was sternly stared at by Riveria, realized that what she said was wrong, scratched her cheeks embarrassingly, and retreated to her original position.

"I'm very sorry..." Without giving Ace any room to interject, the elf woman's gaze immediately shifted to Chios, bowing her head solemnly to him.

"Because of the negligence in our guidance and discipline, the members acted impulsively, which caused you trouble."

"No, I understand Miss Wallenstein's desire to win, and I didn't take this matter to heart..."

With Tiona's unexpected assist, he perfectly achieved the goal of attracting the sword girl's attention, and there was no need for Chios to waste time on social rhetoric that lacked substantive meaning.

There is a partner in the Loki family who is in charge of watching. Right now, his own affiliation is uncertain, and the degree of influence expansion is even more limited. It is too early to talk about cooperation in the exchange of benefits.

What's more, with so many eyes focused on him alone, it is equally difficult to deepen a relationship with a specific woman.

boring...

He glanced at the sky outside the window, indicating his willingness to leave.

"If there is no other important matter to discuss, it is inconvenient for two outsiders, Nazha and I, to bother you in the noble family's mansion."

"What do you think about the abnormal situation in the dungeon?"

Seeing that Chios was about to get up, Riveria asked suddenly.

"Personally, I don't care if the number of simple monsters increases. It just saves the time to find one by one."

However, the young man's joking reply failed to elicit a smile from the elf woman.

Seeing that the other party was always staring at him seriously, he spread his hands and gave a serious answer:

"Of course, the risk of adventurers lingering in the maze will increase greatly, especially for weak teams and solo travelers. The impact they will receive must be the most direct and serious. If things go on like this, the sudden increase in the number of deaths will cause panic in the entire city. Not surprisingly..."

"Olali, whose core business is the export of magic stones dropped by monsters, will benefit from this and drive the city to further prosperity; or will it be hit hard and lose its vitality...It's intriguing, isn't it?"

After hearing Chios' brief analysis, the expressions of the people present were all serious, even Riveria was the same.

I have been an adventurer for a long time, and my thinking habits start from my own job, considering the difficulties that the family will face in the exploration, but neglecting the possible chain effects that abnormal situations may bring to the city.

Originally, they planned to invite the powerful Chios to participate in the future expedition of the Loki family on the grounds of the labyrinth mutation.

Unexpectedly, it taught the other party a lesson.

"I see..."

Indeed, once the proliferation of monsters becomes normal, it is not just a simple worry for the families, it may be a disaster involving all residents of Orario.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but wonder if the youth had any further insights, or even countermeasures.

"Do you have any advice?"

Regrettably, the only thing the elf woman could get out of her questioning was a shaking of her head in denial.

This is the end of the free consultation.

"What kind of measures should be implemented depends on the corresponding policies and decisions of the guild and the major families. It is not a question that I, a humble outsider, is qualified to discuss."

Patting the back of the dog-eared girl's hand as a reminder, Chios put down the cup he had drank from, and stood up from his seat.

"I..."

Tifa, who seized the opportunity, was about to speak, but was interrupted by Riveria:

"Let me send you two out."

"..."

The two executors were silent.

Chapter 470 Five? Chios' Commission

After leaving the reception room, the elf woman asked the young man several times for in-depth views on the abnormal situation, but the other party avoided him with euphemistic remarks without exception.

Chios's attitude is not so much his dislike of the Loki family, but his unwillingness to be just an opinion provider.

Just like a good chef doesn't like others to be smart enough to change his recipe, this young man also hopes that the plan will be carried out smoothly under his own leadership, instead of watching the policy being adjusted but helpless.

quite a proud man...

Riveria made an evaluation without derogation in her heart.

She finally understood the root cause of the other party's refusal to join the Loki Familia.

Indeed, a large force that has grown to maturity over the years is not suitable as his stage...

Although there are more difficulties and obstacles in struggling from scratch, it is easier to establish centripetal force and authority. People attached to the wings are certainly stable, and it is difficult to replace the supporting skeleton after all.

There is no distinction between the two paths with huge differences. It depends on personal choice.

After understanding the young man's ambition... or ambition, she is very wise to restrain all related words about countermeasures.

As long as they live together in this city, and they don't pursue lifelong pursuits such as destruction, theft, robbery, etc., they will always contribute to Olalie in their own way, and there is no need to force the other party.

Soon, Riveria led the two guests out of the castle-like gate of the Twilight Pavilion.

The slate-paved road leads straight to the main street in the north. The area before arriving there is still counted as the Rocky family property. The guard members on duty in shifts ensure that no random people break in, thus creating tranquility near the bustling business district. atmosphere.

Standing and talking here does not need to worry about being eavesdropped or disturbed. To some extent, the atmosphere is more peaceful and comfortable than inside the family base camp.

clatter...

The elf woman stops here.

Turning around, the cool autumn wind stirred her beautiful hanging hair adorned with tassels at the temples, and her emerald green eyes, which had long since faded from immaturity, met the young man's deep purple eyes.

"Olalie has been spreading news about you for the past two days. Many family members are interested in you, and the guild is the same. If you encounter any trouble because of this, we can provide assistance..."

As she spoke, she handed out her right hand that was not carrying the wand.

"Although we can't work hard in a group, there will always be times in the life of an adventurer when we need help from others. Multiple trustworthy friends are not a bad thing for us."

Looking at this scene, the dog-eared girl next to Chios couldn't hide her surprise.

An elf with a haughty personality, he will only let the object of his identification touch him.

This is the case for ordinary ethnic groups, let alone Riveria, who was born in the elf royal family.

He usually seems to be very talkative, but he doesn't seem to like the respectful attitude of others towards him, which really represents the friendly side of this elf with extremely high strength and status.However, it is not difficult to see that the racial identity is actually still rooted in the bottom of my heart through Rivilia's almost zero revealing dress.

You are an elf royal family, are you willing to shake hands with a man who has only met twice?

"Can't agree more with you..."

Chios gently held Riveria's soft and slender palm, and let it go without stopping.

"To tell you the truth, there is just one thing that is bothering me at the moment."
