Chapter 732 Hearing of the Expedition, Monsters Rampage
No one in Loki's Familia objected to Finn's orders, but...
"Mr. Broly's loot accounts for 40%, isn't that...?"
Since Broly accounts for almost half of the loot drops, many people are very concerned about whether or not there will be a charge for this item.
"The reason there are so many loot drops is related to Broly's own luck ability. Our Ais and Lefia are able to benefit from this high drop rate, and he has already paid for this service. Not to mention he also taught our spellcasters water magic..."
Finn explained it to the others in this way, and he didn't intend to back out or charge the Saiyan boy just because the boy dropped a lot of items.
"Captain Finn, I'll split the spoils I gained from this trip fifty-fifty with you."
However, Broly approached him during a break and told him about it.
“I think I’ve already mentioned this; you’ve already paid for the logistical services for our team.”
Finn reiterated his statement.
"One thing at a time. My situation with Ais and Lefia is a separate matter. Without the help of your clan, it would be very difficult for me to quickly transport so many loot items out of the deep zone and thus gain any profit."
"Well, supporters in the upper tiers share the rewards of dungeon exploration. It doesn't make sense that in the deeper tiers, support services like this are free. Commander Finn, you don't need to be so polite."
Broly is the type of person who will be kind to others if they are kind to him, and he could see that the little man leader was under some pressure regarding whether or not to charge a fee.
"Okay, that helps a lot, but splitting it 50/50 is too much. How about we split it the normal way for supporters? What do you think?"
"Row."
In this way, Broly shared a portion of his loot profits, thereby gaining paid support from a logistics team whose members were all at level 3 or higher, with the highest level being 6.
Once the profits were shared, the other members of Loki's Familia's gold-farming team became increasingly friendly towards Broly, and no one complained anymore about his loot taking up nearly half of the team's transport capacity.
. . . .
The monster-slaying production line was set up, with Broly and Ais being the two main monster-slaying forces, while Lefia, protected by the Amazon sisters, was also one of the main monster-slaying forces.
"Proud warriors, forest archers, with the advancing raiders at your feet, take up your bows, answer the voice of your brethren, nock your arrows, ignite the flames, the forest lights command you to release your arrows, elven fire arrows rain down, burn the barbarians!"
A barrage of flaming javelins erupted, creating a thunderous roar that enveloped the entire Death Arena, as if a meteor shower was taking place deep within the dungeon.
Many monsters, only level 4, couldn't withstand the elven girl's wide-area fire magic output. Well, even the enhanced level 5 monsters couldn't withstand it and were quickly engulfed in the flames of the fire javelins.
Lefia's skill [Fairy Pursuit] can amplify magical effects, and the amplification effect on attack magic is doubled.
With protection and safe spellcasting, she directly unleashed her power as a magical turret, suppressing the monster spawning in the entire Death Arena with high firepower.
Well, there's a reason why the elf girl was able to join Loki's Familia's first team at level 3.
After watching the elven girl's magical bombardment show, Broly suddenly had the message "Choice is more important than effort" pop into his mind.
Well, it's not that the Prince tactic is ineffective, but rather that it targets the wrong enemies. However, the Prince tactic is still quite useful for clearing out mobs.
Coincidentally, through the shared effect of the wing skills, Broly was also able to replicate what Lefia could do. After the elven girl's magic was exhausted and she withdrew, he used the same spell to condense a fire spear and unleash a magical version of the prince's battle tactics.
On this day, a continuous shower of meteors fell on the Death Arena of the 37th floor of the dungeon.
Of course, Broly didn't continue doing it after the first time, because the Prince's Battle Strategy wasn't ideal for getting Loki's Familia to help collect monster drops, and it also wasn't conducive to practicing swordsmanship with the Sword Maiden.
. . . .
However, their sword practice didn't last long. After grinding in the Death Arena for five consecutive days, this unusual monster-grinding behavior had to come to an end.
Of course, it wasn't that Broly and Ais couldn't hold on, but rather that their equipment couldn't keep up. Even with daily maintenance, the two swords, which were supposed to be indestructible, were still getting chipped and dulled.
Broly's Frostmourne gauntlets, especially the right arm guard, developed very noticeable cracks during this frenzied monster-slaying process.
If this divinely crafted equipment, worth over 100 million, continues to be used without regard for its durability, it may become unusable.
"It seems that this is the only way to end it."
Finn said.
"Actually, you can use your weapons."
Broly was somewhat unsatisfied; he really wanted to say that the Northern God Stream had taught him to use all sorts of weapons.
Even without weapons, Broly could fight him bare-handed, and even better than when he was using a sword.
This is the value of the [Master of Fist] skill stacking with the [Peerless Swordsmanship] skill.
Of course, without the protection of the gauntlets, his hands might get injured if he doesn't have enough energy.
Because forces act in pairs.
The monsters in the Death Arena, such as the Earthlings and Lizardmen, have relatively hard bones and scales.
"Alright, let's go back."
Broly did not refuse to return to the surface. During the week he spent grinding monsters in the dungeon, he got along very well with Ais and Lefia.
The happiness stats of the Sword Maiden and the Elf Girl are also growing at a very appealing pace, but the same is true for other encounters on the surface.
Apart from the Elf Girl, it's considered good if the happiness stats of everyone else don't even decrease, let alone increase.
"Oh, Broly, when will that boy come back?!"
Whether it's Lily Luca, Hestia, or even Freya hidden beneath the tavern signboard girl costume of Seele, they all miss the Saiyan boy who was away from the surface for a week.
The goddess's longing for the Saiyan boy was completely accepted by the girl who served her. Just when Helen was getting impatient with her goddess, who was like a girl in love, anxious because her lover had been out of contact for many days, and wanted to suggest that someone be sent to the dungeon to investigate the situation, the Loki Familia's gold-hunting team returned.
"Ah, Broly, that boy, is finally back?!"
Looking at Lady Freya, who was peering out of a window on the upper level of the Tower of Babel with a look of surprise on her face as she watched the Saiyan boy emerge below with Loki's Familia, Helen felt a little ashamed.
Is it really that big of a deal? He's just a nobody who was favored by Lady Freya on a whim.
"Xie'er?"
"Ah, Mr. Broly, what can I do for you?"
"Uh, it's not that I have any orders, it's just that you've been staring at me blankly. Speaking of which, didn't we agree to call each other by our first names and not use honorifics?"
After a week apart, Broly sensed that the mascot girl was acting strangely. The way she looked at him was incredibly tender, as if she wanted to melt him away.
While the mascot girl only wanted to melt him away with her gaze, Lily Luca and Lady Hestia genuinely wanted to melt him away with their actions.
After spending a week in the dungeon, his blood and energy, which had returned to calm, were suddenly drawn out again by a person and a god after returning to his clan's residence.
After using every trick in the book to satisfy the two men, Broly was finally able to escape.
Of course, it's not that he dislikes the dwarf girl and the loli goddess showing him intimate gestures.
However, the passion between the human and the god was too great, and he feared that it might turn into a situation where they were growing up together again in a hot spring.
"Oh, sorry, I forgot."
Seele's face was flushed, making her look very cute and charming.
"But who told you, Broly, you bad guy, to leave me for so long?"
Helen was somewhat embarrassed to talk about the intense emotions that were secretly surging in her heart after she transformed into the mascot girl. However, mixed with some resentment towards the boy in front of her for making her goddess worry about her, she spoke to the boy with a hint of sorrow.
"Uh, I'm sorry..."
Broly scratched his head and sincerely apologized to the girl on the signboard. He hadn't meant to avoid her, but in the end, he was the one who avoided her.
"Well, since you've apologized so much, I guess I'll just have to be magnanimous and forgive you."
Seele puffed up her cheeks, which showed a hint of anger, but the puffing quickly subsided.
Lady Freya, please have some backbone! Don't forgive them so easily!
Helen was crying out in her heart, but her posture was what guided her actions.
"By the way, Mr. Broly, when you address Ryu later, just call her by her first name."
The girl on the signboard leaned closer and whispered to the Saiyan boy.
"Eh?!"
"I'm trying to help you, so don't let me down!"
"Ah, thanks."
Broly nodded quickly and thanked him in a low voice.
"Mr. Broly, here is the braised meat dish you ordered."
The elf quickly brought the dishes over and placed them on the table.
"Thank you, Ryu."
Broly thanked her naturally and called the elf lady by her name.
"Ooh~" The female elf shuddered, suddenly remembering the matter of calling her name.
"Ryu, Broly has thanked you. How are you going to respond?"
Just as she was about to brush it off with a "You're welcome," Seele, the mascot, appeared behind her without her noticing, asking her with a smile, as if reminding her not to forget what she had promised.
"You're welcome, Broly."
The female elf finally called out the name and then quickly left the table.
"Hmm, a friendly way of addressing each other, that's a big step forward in our encounter."
Seele said something.
"You agree, Broly?"
She asked.
"Ah."
Broly nodded repeatedly.
Meanwhile, the loli goddess and the little girl beside them maintained smiling expressions throughout.
While they were still using different terms of address to maintain a pure and innocent relationship, these girls were already trying to move on to the next stage with the boys.
The two girls at the tavern were really not worth mentioning in terms of strength; their progress against Broly was far inferior to his own.
This idea gave Hestia and Lilyluca a sense of confident composure.
"Sorry, we're late."
Until the door of the Abundant Mistress's Tavern was pushed open, and two exquisitely dressed Loki Familia girls appeared with their team.
The real rival has arrived!
As the elf girl and the swordswoman walked over so naturally, Hestia and Lilyluka exchanged a glance, both conveying the same meaning.
"You're not late, we just ordered our food."
Broly quickly got up and pulled out chairs for the people who had come over.
"Thank you."
Both Ais and Lefia accepted the service naturally.
Of course, there seems to be an Amazonian girl among them.
Tiona wasn't supposed to be the target of the romance, but for some reason, she managed to sneak in quite skillfully.
After Loki's Familia arrived, Hephaestus and Tsubaki also came over.
"Are we not late?"
The one-eyed craftsman asked curiously.
"No."
"Hestia..."
The red-haired goddess was slightly embarrassed, so she greeted the loli goddess.
"Hephaestus, come sit here with me."
Hestia was very enthusiastic, which relieved Hephaestus, who had agreed to join Crystal Palace and become one of Broly's wives.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm late~"
The tavern's half-height door was pushed open again, and as Finn of the Loki Familia raised his glass to celebrate the great success of their dungeon trip, the white-haired boy ran in with a beautiful human girl with yakatsuki-colored hair and a white-haired rabbit-woman.
If it's not Bell, then who is it?
"This must be Miss Anna. My son Beldo has been taken care of by you."
"No, it is Mr. Bell who has taken good care of me."
The human girl with the turquoise hair paused, and a slightly apologetic expression appeared on her pretty face: "You must be Broly, the older brother who Mr. Bell often mentions and who helped him. I'm very sorry, Bell, I'm late because of me."
"There's no such thing as being late. It's just a dinner party. Even if Bell doesn't come, it's really okay."
Broly waved his hand, not really bothered by Bell's lateness.
"Tonight's dinner is on me. Feel free to order whatever you like."
This time, I made a fortune in the dungeon.
As Broly spoke, he handed the menu to Bell.
"Hey, Broly, how much did you make?"
Bell, who had just received the menu, asked curiously, while Broly held up a finger to him.
"One hundred million fali?"
When Bell saw it, he instinctively asked.
"You forgot a zero."
This dungeon run was equivalent to the rewards of killing ten Goliaths. Even if a portion was distributed, Broly still received a whopping 900 million Fali. Calling it a huge profit wouldn't be wrong.
The tavern was bustling with activity. Finn, having scraped together enough money for the next expedition, approached Broly's table as everyone was enjoying their drinks.
"Commander Corbrand, would you be interested in a joint expedition with our Loki Familia?"
Expeditions take a heavy toll on weapons and equipment. The new type of monsters with corrosive blood that appeared on the 59th floor of the deep zone would be very difficult to fight even if a team of experienced craftsmen were not on hand to repair the equipment.
It just so happens that the leader of the Hephaestus Familia also came to the banquet tonight. Although it wasn't his banquet, Finn still brought it up. As he said this, Finn gave Broly a slightly apologetic look.
After all, this is considered an intrusion.
"A joint expedition? I have equipment orders on hand right now, so I don't have time for that."
"I can wait for that. We can launch the expedition when you have time, Commander Kobrand. We also need to rest for a while."
"By the way, doesn't your clan cooperate more with the Gubernian clan? Why are you coming to me to ask me to go on an expedition?"
"There's nothing we can do. The craftsmen of the Gubney Familia are all elderly and not skilled in combat. The only skilled craftsmen in all of Orario who can go on expeditions with us is you, the Lv.5 One-Eyed Craftsman."
"Haha, Finn, you have good taste. Since you can wait, I am indeed interested."
"expedition?"
Broly expressed doubt about their words.
"It means to explore and conquer unknown dungeon floors."
Rafia helped explain from the side.
"Is Mr. Broly also interested?"
Ais asked, and Finn looked over as well.
"Uh, um."
Broly hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Of course, he wasn't interested in exploring and conquering unknown dungeon floors.
only……
Lilyluca and Hestia's enthusiasm for him was a little overwhelming for him.
. . . .
Meanwhile, an unusual monster uprising is taking place in the 24th floor of the dungeon.
"Won't doing this attract the guild's attention?"
The female monster Revis, who had fought Ais before, frowned and asked as she looked at the white-haired demon who had taken over the monster food storage on the 24th floor.
"Heh, what's there to be afraid of? If the guild dares to send people over to investigate, we'll wipe them out. Instead of cowering and secretly carrying out petty tricks to transport the orbs, we'd be better off cultivating a large army of man-eating flowers here, then sweeping all the way up and overthrowing the entire Orario!"
The white-haired demon spoke confidently about his development and push plan, as if he could truly overthrow Orario by doing so.
"There are still some experts among the adventurers."
Rives reminded her.
"You failed only because you went it alone, but I'm different. I've cultivated so many carnivorous plants, and a Lv.6 Flower King. I will win."
After a pause, the white-haired ghost continued, "Besides, He can't wait any longer. He's saying he wants to go out and see the blue sky outside, and he's saying he longs for Arya. Reeves, didn't you hear that?"
