Chapter 216: Favored by the Affectionate Goddess
Hedin pushed his glasses, "Liam, you, a fellow like you, were actually favored by the sacred and affectionate goddess. So, you must prove that you have this qualification. Fulfilling the goddess's wish, this is your only duty.
Not enough, not enough!
This current level is far from enough!"
Listening to Hedin's words, Liam focused his attention on Hedin.
"Then let's continue to fight. I couldn't ask for more!"
He was currently wearing a training uniform. As for that set of heavy armor and inner lining, he was not wearing them.
Fighting in that kind of thing, if it got damaged, it would still need to be repaired.
For the daily battles of greater intensity, Liam was naturally extremely welcoming.
To be able to fight with a stronger opponent, this dancing on the edge of a knife, constantly challenging the limits and stimulating one's own potential every moment.
Liam also longed for it very much. As long as he could quickly improve his strength, he naturally didn't mind this kind of intense, life-risking sparring.
...
At night, after finishing dinner, Liam left the dining table.
As for Hedin and the others, they stayed here to continue resting.
As core members of the Freya Familia, apart from activities like expeditions, each person had their own tasks at other times.
Only when they were free, or after the importance of their own tasks had decreased, would they jointly train Liam.
This was Lady Freya's command, and also the expectation of these core cadres.
Liam was a very rare diamond raw material. To bloom with a brilliant light, he naturally had to withstand higher pressure carving.
Under normal circumstances, the more facets a diamond is cut with, the more beautiful the refracted light.
And it must have precise cutting proportions and angles. Only in this way can a diamond bloom with a brilliant light.
Liam was the same. As one of the current strongest and most famous Familias in Orario, the members of the Freya Familia had never seen an existence with greater potential than Liam.
The fastest promotion, reaching the theoretical limit value with every level sublimation. When these two were combined, it was even more unheard of.
"Liam's growth potential, in my opinion, has not yet reached its limit. Since Lady Freya cares about him so much.
Then we have the obligation to use the highest standard of treatment to train the other party, to give Liam the most efficient trial!
So Ottar, you must also join this daily baptism."
Ottar, whose personality was silent and didn't like to talk, stood up at this time, "Compared to Liam, Lady Freya's side has a higher priority.
Just improving Liam, the current treatment is already enough."
"Oh, but have you discovered the relationship between Liam and the goddess now? It is Liam who is in the upper hand.
Lady Freya, on the contrary, has become the weaker one in this relationship.
The time she spends alone in her bedroom contemplating has increased."
Ottar came to the window, "That is indeed the case. I don't understand matters of affection.
However, if Liam dares to play with the Lady Goddess, I will absolutely not let him go!"
Hedin pushed his glasses, "Don't sympathize with Liam. We must thoroughly train him!
If we hold back any longer, we'll be making a joke of ourselves!"
Allen and the others deeply agreed. Although it was so many of them ganging up on him, on the contrary, they had the illusion of being surrounded by Liam alone.
Liam's level had not improved, so it could only be that his own swordsmanship and technique had had a new breakthrough!
This kind of comprehension and potential really made Allen and the others both love and hate it!
...
The Hearthfire Manor.
Hestia came to the office specially arranged for Liam. It was divided into two functional areas.
One was an office responsible for designing drafts for duel cards and the like, and the other was a forging room used for forging.
Because everyone's memories had been distorted, Liam's office was instead left vacant.
Hestia walked into the office, and then saw Asfi with a look of surprise.
"Asfi, it really is you!"
After seeing Asfi, she excitedly threw herself into the other's arms.
In the current situation where the entire surface and Dungeon of Orario were controlled, it was really not easy to find someone to discuss things with.
She herself knew that her own intelligence level was not enough, so she was in urgent need of an external brain with online intelligence to help her think about problems.
"Anyway, let's share information first, Goddess Hestia!"
"Mmm, mmm!"
"Because Orario is almost completely controlled, basically any place with people might be in a state of being charmed by the other party..."
Hestia nodded seriously, and then shared the intelligence she had obtained during this period.
"I see. The intelligence on my side is like this. Freya's first-class adventurers are training Liam..."
...
At night, Liam was as usual:
Extreme challenge by day, challenging the limits by night.
If not for the fact that he still couldn't defeat Ottar, he would have already been prepared to show his hand.
Liam woke up from his dream, looking at the night sky outside the window.
"Let's continue the Dungeon battle!"
He got up in a hurry and left the room quietly.
Afterward, he put on the Dragon Spine armor, took the portable backpack, and left Folkvangr for Babel.
He soared into the air, and the Selfless Sword Domain unfolded by his side.
Then he took out an armament from it and threw it in the direction of Babel.
In the night, only a dazzling stream of light flickered. In almost the blink of an eye, this armament had flown several hundred meters.
The sharp blade created a sonic boom wall in the air, tearing through the long sky. Just as it was about to hit Babel, a black shadow suddenly appeared on the sword's body.
Then the sharp blade made a sharp turn in the air and fell to the ground.
Putting away the armament, Liam drilled into the Dungeon entrance below Babel.
It was still the same battle as the past few days. High-speed map running, reaching the thirty-seventh floor, and then continuing to advance without stopping...
Leveled up. The Sword Soul template's level had reached 61.
This gave Liam's panel attributes a partial boost. Of course, this level of improvement was far from enough.
Liam, who was on a tight schedule, returned to Folkvangr to wash up and catch up on sleep before the morning arrived.
Still an hour of catching up on sleep. In the separate dining room on the second floor, Liam thought of something.
And that was, where did his cards go?
Currently, there was not a single one in Freya's warehouse.
These specially made duel cards, each had its own consciousness, were very intelligent cards.
"I'm planning to go out for some fresh air later. Constantly fighting and having a tense spirit is actually not conducive to improving my strength."
Liam's gaze looked towards Hedin. Hedin also immediately agreed.
"Oh, go if you want to. But you can't escape the daily training."
"Okay."
Currently in the Freya Familia, the captain was Ottar, and the vice-captain was Allen.
But this was just a position. But if one were to say who had the most say in the Familia on a daily basis, it was naturally still Hedin.
Hedin was the king of the white elves, mature and steady, with high intelligence.
The basic policies, operations, and various plans within the Familia were all handled by Hedin.
His intelligence could perfectly allow the Freya Familia to operate in the most efficient way.
This was also the reason why the Freya Familia's comprehensive influence in Orario was so enormous.
This was the first time Liam had been active in Orario during the day since his memory returned.
The current Orario was as usual.
There were many pedestrians on the streets. The surroundings seemed to be as usual. It was just that Liam could still perceive a trace of unreasonableness. That was the gazes of these people, which would always size up Liam intentionally or unintentionally.
This kind of gaze was clearly surveillance. It should be because they were charmed.
So these people were acting as Freya's eyes, observing any possible problems.
Truly ridiculous.
Walking on the street, Liam saw some adventurers delivering firewood to residents.
Even in Orario, something like firewood was a very expensive existence.
In the magical middle ages, it still followed the life sequence of firewood, rice, oil, and salt. Firewood was still the most important.
Cooking and keeping warm both required firewood or magic stones.
Those who could use magic stones as an energy source for cooking and keeping warm were ultimately a minority. Only adventurers and the rich and powerful could afford it.
And the residents could only grit their teeth and use firewood.
For example, starting a fire once every morning or noon, to cook enough food for a family of one day's two or three meals.
The residents here would go to use the water of the inner city river in the summer, fetching water to start a fire for cooking and bathing...
As he walked through the town of Orario, Liam sensed his special duel cards hidden in various corners.
Apart from the three Divine Beasts, the Sky Dragon, Obelisk, and The Winged Dragon, the cards he had thrown out before that had turned into a flash of light, he already knew their locations.
The power of the cards had barely returned. The rest was the level sublimation of his adventurer level, and the further improvement of his Sword Soul template.
If possible, Liam wanted all his ability scores to reach their most extreme state before improving.
That is, all five ability scores to reach the SSS grade of 1199 before upgrading.
Although the difficulty was great, for Liam, it was not something completely impossible to do.
The Hostess of Fertility Restaurant.
There were no guests in the restaurant, only a dozen or so waitstaff were cleaning inside.
Has even this place become so deserted?
Liam sized up the restaurant and walked in.
"It's so deserted here."
"Oh, it's Sword Saint Liam of the Freya Familia. Who are you looking for here?"
One of the waitstaff came over, looking at the other party with a smile.
"Then I'll have a standard single meal? I want extra meat! Do you know Syr?"
"I don't. But your food will be here soon!"
Liam found a window seat and began to size up the scenery outside.
Mia walked over with the delicacies. She looked at the other members in the shop. "What are you looking at? Have you bought the ingredients? Have you finished all the other work?"
With Mia's scolding, all the waitstaff in the entire restaurant were scared away.
Liam looked at this scene with some amusement. This place was still very humane.
So, he wanted to let Orario return to normal as soon as possible.
Of course, the premise of all this was that his own strength was sufficient. He also had to quickly improve his own strength.
"Liam, I'm not going to interfere with the goddess's actions. But I am a member of the Freya Familia, although I've been treated as half-separated from the Familia.
Currently, not helping is my resistance. Surviving is victory, no matter what you have to face!"
Liam nodded, and then began to eat with his head down.
Another purpose of coming out this time had also been achieved, which was to get familiar with the boss, Mia.
And to pave the way for inviting the other party to join the battle in the future.
In this world of sword and magic, the feelings between everyone were still relatively sincere.
At least the people from the original plot he had seriously gotten along with, after befriending them, could become comrades to whom he could entrust his back.
This was a friendship where one could fight desperately for a partner.
Of course, when fighting Ottar, Mia would join the battle also naturally had the reason of being displeased with Freya.
Afterward, Liam arrived at the Hephaestus Familia's weapon shop.
Liam had the key to the Freya Familia's warehouse, so he also had a certain degree of control over the funds within.
"Oh, it's Sword Saint Liam? What a rare guest. What would you like to buy this time?"
Tsubaki would also sometimes appear in the shop to look after it. Her hobby was so dull and tasteless, or rather, focused.
Her daily life was studying various armaments, magic swords, and various items, and then taking these things to the Dungeon for experiments.
"I've come to buy some weapons."
"You've come to buy weapons? How rare. Not to say, don't you know how to forge? And you even took that old man Goibniu as your master?"
Liam feigned a puzzled expression, "I know how to forge? And I also have a master named Goibniu?"
Good, another piece of the puzzle has been fitted.
Liam got in touch with Tsubaki, "I have amnesia. I've forgotten many things except for my own swordsmanship."
"How rare. Liam, why don't you try this explosive? Put this explosive on your temple and then light it and see?"
Tsubaki was clearly joking with Liam.
"I'll die, right? You must be amusing yourself at my expense."
Liam wasn't stupid. The item Tsubaki took out was about the size of a watermelon.
Just by looking at its appearance, one could tell that it contained astonishingly powerful explosives.
Tsubaki showed a disappointed expression. "What a pity. I thought your intelligence would also decrease after you lost your memory.
That would have been so interesting!"
Liam helplessly rubbed his temples. He hadn't noticed before that Tsubaki also had such a black-bellied side.
But, they were both just as unreliable. And crazy. This was not wrong.
Seeing that it was getting late, Liam said goodbye to Tsubaki.
Afterward was to return to Folkvangr and start the daily training.
Under the bright sunlight, Liam held his armament and released Raging Dragon Slash at Hedin and the others.
This move was, apart from the spatial movement derived from Tempest Style, the fastest move.
And it didn't require chanting.
"Raging Dragon Slash!"
Liam turned into a golden divine dragon entwined with lightning and flames, and at super high speed, he quickly approached Hedin!
"BOOM!"
The blade in Liam's hand and Hedin's weapon collided, and the two simultaneously retreated five steps.
And at the point of their collision, an astonishingly large crater appeared.
Hedin was a little displeased in his heart. The other's panel seemed to be about to catch up to him.
Even though he was the defending side, even though he was a mage class.
Hogni and the others, on the contrary, stood where they were, admiring the one-on-one fight between Liam and Hedin.
This growth speed was really something they were envious, jealous, and hateful of.
That was the king of the white elves, the White Demon's Wand of the Freya Familia.
Just by relying on swordsmanship and technique, he could cross two levels and then be on par with Hedin?
