Chapter 169 - Chapter 86: The Hestia Familia's New Base

The War Game concluded.

It ended with Apollo's ashen face.

In reality, Kiana was a little unhappy.

Because she still wanted to rush into the highest room in the city to solo Hyacinthus, but after defeating thirty or forty adventurers at the entrance, no one else came.

Then, before she even moved, the room where Hyacinthus was located, along with the highest rooftop, exploded.

Takatsuki was actually a bit surprised too, but after thinking about it, it was normal.

The adventurers of the Apollo Familia were generally LV1 and LV2, with only their captain reaching LV3.

Kiana and the others could even handle LV4 adventurers.

In the original work, when Ryu used two magic swords, she only destroyed a wall and defeated a dozen Apollo Familia adventurers, then had a difficult fight with an LV2. It was truly unreasonable.

One could only forcibly explain it as not letting Ryu overshadow the main character, and Bell wanting to defeat Hyacinthus himself.

Actually, Takatsuki could have directly killed Hyacinthus at the beginning, but considering this was a siege battle, not an assassination, and also to give others some room to shine (otherwise Kiana would probably cause a huge fuss), he chose the previous strategy.

It was just a bit unfair to Bell, because this strategy required a high level of individual combat power, and there were many enemies. When the others attacked, they used large-area attacks, and bringing a teammate along would really restrict their movements.

Afterward, Hestia took Bell to handle the liaison matters with the Guild, while Takatsuki and the others who participated in the War Game went to face the Guild's review.

The content of the review was whether they had concealed their levels.

Adventurers' ability data was personal privacy; even the Guild could not check it without permission. The review was essentially asking the adventurers through the Gods.

"Have you concealed your true levels from the Guild?"

Facing Hermes, who spoke on behalf of the Gods, Takatsuki casually said, "No."

"Then what is your level?"

"LV3."

The others faced the same question, and the results were naturally all positive: from a level perspective, none of them had concealed anything.

But there were still some minor unexpected incidents, namely:

"Then if you're all LV1! Why are you so strong?!"

After Hermes, as the representative of the Gods, finished asking his questions, it should theoretically have been over. However, extraordinary existences always attract covetous eyes.

Especially since Takatsuki and his group were already so illogically strong, it was hard not to associate them with having special methods for becoming stronger.

"Isn't it only natural for me to be strong!"

Kiana said as if it were obvious, then Mei covered her mouth.

Although there were quite a few unruly Gods who were very curious about them, more of them abided by the rules. Furthermore, this was the place in Orario where rules needed to be followed most strictly, and Ouranos was always watching them.

"Hey, hey, while I understand everyone's curiosity, casually prying into an adventurer's skills is against the rules, you know."

Hermes said with a smile to the somewhat restless Gods behind him.

After seeing those Gods temporarily settle down, he turned to the group and said, "Alright, your review is over. You have no obligation to answer any questions from other Gods, however…"

Hermes mainly looked towards Takatsuki: "What you displayed in the War Game is completely unknown to Orario. It might provoke some ill intentions, so please be careful yourselves."

After leaving the Guild, Mei was still a bit worried.

"Takatsuki-kun, what Lord Hermes said earlier, did we cause trouble?"

Seeing Mei's concern, Takatsuki comforted her: "Not really. After all, some things can't be hidden. The fact that our strength far surpasses adventurers of the same level would have been discovered even without this War Game. And as long as one's own strength is sufficient, even if some guys target us, there's nothing to worry about."

When the group arrived at what was formerly the Apollo Familia's base, now their own, to find Hestia, they saw a group from the Goibniu Familia throwing a pile of statues out into the yard.

"Uh, what are these?"

Kiana leaned in for a look, then ran away with a disgusted expression.

"Oh, you're here. That Apollo, he's too narcissistic. His house was full of his statues."

Hestia was discussing house construction issues with the Goibniu Familia's representative. Seeing Kiana's recent actions, she said a little irritably: "But fortunately, that disgusting guy has been banned from Orario. You all come and take a look too. I plan to completely renovate this place, and the property left by the Apollo Familia should be enough. You can tell me now if you need any facilities."

"Me, me, me! I want an arcade!"

Bronya, hearing Kiana's request from the side, sighed: "Kiana's intelligence has gotten even lower. She's at the level of a slipper now."

"Who are you calling an amoeba?! And what even is an amoeba?"

Ignoring Kiana and Bronya, who were making a fuss, Mei stepped forward to state her request: a fully equipped kitchen.

Ah, truly worthy of the Herrscher of Food.

Takatsuki, on the other hand, had no demands. Originally, he might have needed an empty room to store sundries and materials, but after obtaining the Kings Treasure, he no longer had to worry about such things.

However, he still requested a training ground for Fu Hua. Although adventurers in this world seemed to rarely train on their own, preferring to venture into the Dungeon to improve themselves, Takatsuki knew that Fu Hua practiced martial arts and boxing diligently every day.

And also, to train Bell.

Speaking of training, Takatsuki noticed something very strange after thoroughly researching the rate of Falna improvement.

That is, the gods' explanation of Falna was that it accumulated experience through adventuring, which was then unearthed.

But Takatsuki found that this did not seem to be the case, or rather, it was not entirely the case.

Because if it were, one should be able to gain experience quickly just by training and studying on the surface, without needing to adventure.

However, in reality, the experience gained from sparring and practicing with others was very little.

Takatsuki made his judgment by combining his own experiences with the fact that upgrading Falna required challenging powerful opponents.

Killing monsters itself would also bring experience points to the Falna, and even killing monsters beyond one's level would grant more experience.

Therefore, the immense experience Takatsuki gained by descending to the 59th floor as an LV1 and even defeating a Corrupted Spirit propelled him all the way to LV3, and even to the level where he could upgrade to LV4.
