Twenty-four floors.
Under Roy's control, no more monsters jumped out, but the atmosphere around them was unusually heavy and tense. The air seemed to have been sucked out, making people feel suffocated and their chests felt heavy.
Alexie laughed and said, "It's just a happy argument between members of the familia, like what happened between Leon and Kaguya. It would be too harsh to punish them."
Roy said calmly, "No, they disobeyed orders and deserted their posts; they must be dealt with!"
Alexie's attempt to ease the tension failed; all eyes were on her. Daphne,
Cassandra and Rafia looked slightly resentful, but still obediently lowered their heads.
Now that Roy has spoken up to deal with this matter, there must be a result.
Daphne, Cassandra, and Lefia disobeyed his orders and secretly slipped out of the Star Garden!
They held onto a sliver of hope, thinking that Roy would need at least two or three days to complete the hunt, and as long as they returned to the Star Court before Roy came back, Kaguya and the others would be even less likely to complain.
If Roy hadn't caught him red-handed, this whole thing could have been easily covered up.
"How malicious of you, Commander Roy!"
Alexie gave the boy a deep look. She didn't have Kaguya's meticulous mind; she was more like a gifted player like Otto, using her keen intuition to cut through the thick fog and uncover the truth.
On the surface, Roy was pressing her for punishment for Daphne, Cassandra, and Lefia's departure from the Star Court, but in reality, he was testing her attitude.
Based on her attitude, we will then decide how to handle the conflict between the old and new family members.
If she firmly stands with Kaguya, Lyra, and others, and opposes the new faction led by Roy, Roy's attitude will also change completely.
Roy stared at the red-haired girl in front of him. Although he had information about her in his mind, he would not blindly believe it. Seeing is believing.
In the past, family members were recruited one by one, allowing ample time for them to get to know each other. Everyone got along well and there were basically no conflicts.
This time it's different; it's like two clans merging.
The addition of ten completely unfamiliar members, each with their own small clique, and differences in race, customs, and strength, coupled with their near-complete lack of prior contact, greatly increases the likelihood of conflict.
If the opposing group is leaderless and disorganized, it's not a problem; Roy can easily unite the clan. However, if Alicia, the former clan leader, is determined to cause trouble, things will become more complicated.
At this moment, the fate of the Astrea Familia has reached a crossroads.
The decision-making power was in Alyssa's hands, or rather, Roy forcibly shoved that power into her hands.
Tiony, Tiona, Daphne, Cassandra, and Lefia glared at Alicia with hostility. They would never acknowledge any leader other than Roy! Not even the gentle Haruhime.
Ryu bit her soft lower lip, her trembling gaze lingering between Roy and Alexie—one a boy she loved beyond measure, the other her best friend.
"Since they must be punished—"
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Alexie racked her brains. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. "Then I'll punish you all by having you help me flatten something!"
The group returned to the 18th floor, the maze amusement park.
Following the familiar path into the forest, there was originally no path. It was a fairy girl who had been coming to offer flowers for three years who had carved out a path. Only in this way could she retain the memories that had faded with time and soothe her broken heart.
Upon reaching the depths of the forest, a small mound came into view, covered with various broken weapons and fluttering rags, sending chills down one's spine. One subconsciously wondered, just how many dead lay in this grave?
Out of respect for the dead, the girls of the clan fell silent until laughter broke the stillness.
"Hahaha, so this is our grave!" Alexie put her hands on her hips and laughed heartily.
Seeing Alexie's reaction, everyone looked at her strangely; this peculiar feeling was beyond words.
"Are we really going to level this grave?"
Tiony, Tiona, Daphne, and the others looked at Alyssa in disbelief. They were familiar with this tomb and often accompanied Ryu to lay flowers here.
One of the "grave owners" is the red-haired girl in front of us, and only she has the right to propose to level it.
"Of course!" Alexandra nodded emphatically.
"what!"
Liu clutched her head, feeling a headache coming on!
As the leader of the Astrea Familia, Arisel is undoubtedly qualified. She has a sunny and cheerful personality, her words and actions are full of positive energy, and she is very gentle in her dealings with people. She treats everyone equally, but sometimes she does things without thinking, which always causes all sorts of trouble that Ryu and Kaguya have to deal with.
Just thinking about it gave Ryu a headache.
"What's the point of clinging to such formalism? The important thing is to remember the past and move towards a better future!" Alexie said with a double meaning, referring to Roy as well.
She never clung to the title of "leader," and since Roy did a better job, she gave it to him.
"Hahahaha!"
Then, Alexie changed the subject, laughing heartily, "Then let's happily raze this grave and forget all the sad things!"
Hearing Alisha's hearty laughter, the clan girls exchanged glances. To be so happy even after leveling their own graves, she must be a god!
The girls smiled wryly, thinking that arguing with such a madman would only make them look stupid.
"That's great, I really like your personality!"
"Haha, I like you guys too. Be careful not to get hurt by those weapon fragments."
"Don't worry, Cassandra's healing magic is amazing; she'll definitely heal us!"
The joyful laughter of the girls, including Tione, Alicette, and Daphne, echoed throughout the forest.
The group accompanied Alexandra to level the tomb, which Ryu had personally built and maintained for three years after retrieving his belongings from the thirtieth floor.
Liu stored the weapon fragments in her spatial ring, taking them back as souvenirs or integrating them into other equipment.
A moment later, Liu stared blankly at the small mound that had disappeared. He would never have to come and offer flowers again, and he felt a strange emptiness in his heart.
At that moment, a large, warm hand grasped her small, cold hand. The warmth from the fingertips was like an electric current, spreading along her arm and throughout her body. Liu subconsciously turned her head, a little bewildered.
Those clear, sky-blue eyes, as clear as spring water, perfectly reflected the handsome young man's sharply defined, reassuring profile beside him.
Roy said softly, "This result is not bad, is it?"
Liu's delicate body trembled almost imperceptibly.
Those few simple words were like a gentle key, precisely prying open the tightly locked door of her heart and quietly melting something cold and hard.
"Um!"
A clear, touching voice escaped Liu's throat. She lowered her head slightly, and her usually tightly pursed, delicately shaped lips curved upwards uncontrollably, like a stream thawing in early spring. A pure and bright smile appeared on her exquisite face.
A warm current of happiness flowed continuously from their clasped hands, spreading to their limbs and bones, and finally gathering in their chests, turning into a scalding ocean. Tears welled up in Liu's eyes.
The painful memories of the past—the killings, the losses, the loneliness—that clung to me like maggots to my bones, quickly melted away under the wash of this warm current.
That past is now completely behind us!
If affection levels could be quantified, we could see that Ryu's affection for Roy has already surpassed S-rank and is rapidly advancing towards SS, or even SSS!
The progress of a strategy can also break through limits!
Since meeting the boy, Ryu has never encountered anything that she regrets or suffers from.
"Let's go back!"
Roy called out to the girls who were playing around. The atmosphere had gotten so good that it was obviously inappropriate to stay in the dungeon and grind monsters; they had to go back and celebrate.
"Okay!" The girls happily followed.
The group walked towards the elevator.
Roy discovered that the elevator was still useful to them; when coming down, they could use the power of the earth to create a hole and use gravity to fall.
The ascent is a bit complicated; you either have to jump through the openings or climb up the proper route, both of which are somewhat tedious.
Taking an elevator can avoid those troubles.
As for the usage fee, it's nothing to Astrea's family, the richest family in Orario.
Not to mention those crazy money-making projects, the monster materials brought back from this forging trip alone are worth more than 50 million falies.
Two or three million fali were the entire assets of a small or medium-sized family, but for Roy, it was just a drop in the ocean.
While Roy and his group were heading to the elevator, the naturally ditzy blonde beauty was facing a super crisis, leaving her in a panic.
The elevator, which had just descended to the eighteenth floor, malfunctioned and could not be started no matter what she did.
"No way! I just paid!"
"Damn it, isn't this just making things worse?!"
"Hmph, I knew this kind of thing was unreliable!"
A large number of adventurers surrounded the elevator, making it impossible to move. They were all people who had prepaid on the surface and were preparing to use the elevator to return to the surface.
There are more than a hundred people in total.
The faces of the group were not good; they couldn't help but be anxious. Since this thing came into existence, the adventurers' exploration plans had undergone many changes.
In short, the need for living supplies has decreased. It takes less than half an hour to return to the surface from the eighteenth floor, so there is no need to carry too much food. Instead, more equipment can be carried. When weapons are damaged, they can be replaced, increasing the ability to fight for a long time.
A sudden elevator malfunction is a fatal problem; the remaining food is insufficient to ensure their return to the surface via the proper route.
If the flight attendant in front of them wasn't the famous "Sword Maiden" Ais Wallenstein, a Level 5, first-level adventurer, they would all be cursing.
Ais panicked at the sight of the impatient adventurers. She had no problem with her operation, so why was the elevator malfunctioning?
This is the biggest crisis she has ever faced!
With the leader (Finn), Mama (Rivillia), and the reliable old man (Grace) not around, Ais's breathing became rapid, and her little heart in her chest beat faster.
"Move it! Why aren't you moving?"
Ais kept clicking on the control panel, but the elevator just wouldn't respond.
"Stop wasting time, Fiora. You're the highest level, hurry back to the surface and get those damn engineers from the school district over here!"
"The guild must compensate us!"
"I should have brought more food! I was wondering how such a convenient thing could exist in the world!"
Faced with the constant urging of numerous adventurers, the beautiful blonde girl grew increasingly anxious. A fine layer of sweat appeared on her smooth forehead, her eyes glazed over, and her usually inept mind nearly shut down.
At this time, the elevator malfunction had already attracted the attention of the adventurers in Rivera Town, and many people ran over to watch the spectacle with great amusement.
Adventurers who run businesses in Rivera Town naturally don't like this elevator.
The reason is simple: if they can quickly return to the ground via the elevator, who would still buy the goods that they painstakingly transported here, which are marked up dozens of times, and the hotels that are ridiculously expensive? They can't make a living by ripping people off!
Therefore, I am happy to see the elevator malfunctioning.
Perth, the "neighborhood committee director" of Rivera, who wore a black eyepatch over his left eye, laughed wildly. "Want some bread and water? I'll take pity on you and reluctantly sell them to you at three hundred times the price. First come, first served. The price won't be like this in a moment!"
The adventurers, forced to remain on the eighteenth floor, gritted their teeth and glared at Perth with murderous intent.
Perth didn't care at all; the two sides were originally a black market shop and a victim, and his base was the people who jointly operated businesses in Rivera Town.
Do criminal gangs have anything to fear about offending people?
"Sigh!" Ais sighed. She couldn't solve the current problem by herself.
Just as Ais was about to give up and return to the surface to find someone to help, a familiar voice rang out.
"What happened?"
Ais froze, stiffly turning her head. Her golden eyes met those of Roy, the boy who had rejected her, as if she had found a lifeline.
When Roy and his group appeared nearby, the chattering adventurers immediately fell silent.
Astrea's Familia!
The adventurers' pupils widened in shock, instinctively feeling a sense of awe, and almost unconsciously retreated, making way for Roy and his group.
"That's amazing," Alexie thought to herself.
Originally, the Astrea Familia was only quite prestigious among the people, while the savage, rude, and power-hungry adventurers loathed this meddlesome and righteous Familia.
During the time of Alisha, conflicts with other clans were common, often resulting in a major battle between the two sides before the other side could barely be forced to retreat.
And they couldn't possibly kill adventurers.
It's impossible to achieve the same level of dominance as now, where you can intimidate everyone the moment you appear!
All of this was caused by Roy.
Alexandra's bright eyes were fixed on the boy at the front of the group, her heart pounding.
