Chapter 108: Cassandra's Prophetic Dream! Building Collapse
Even with Liam's explanation, Mikoto still had no clue about the matter he mentioned. But since it was a command from the Familia captain.
She just needed to obey.
Raised by the god Takemikazuchi, during her adventuring activities in Orario, she hadn't encountered the twists and turns between adventurers.
Besides…
Mikoto was even looking forward to exploring the Dungeon, fighting monsters, and asking Liam about swordsmanship.
It all seemed to be able to happen logically?
Knowing that Liam's weapons had all been sent for repair, and realizing that this Dungeon exploration might not be as simple as she thought.
Lili's attitude was relatively serious as she asked, "What about your weapons?"
"Lady Hephaestus gave me a short sword yesterday."
In terms of specific quality, it could be classified as a Second-Grade armament. One could only say that as Orario's largest weapon supplier…
She was indeed quite wealthy and generous. A weapon given away so casually.
Was already of a quality that the vast majority of ordinary adventurers could not possess.
The key was that during this Dungeon exploration, the Apollo Familia would most likely make other moves. Considering the smooth execution of his plan.
Liam intended to appropriately hide his strength. Only in this way would the fish take the bait.
He looked at Mikoto, who hadn't yet realized the danger, and then said, "This Dungeon exploration will mainly focus on honing swordsmanship."
"We won't be heading to the deep levels."
"Okay."
Holding a pure martial artist's mindset, Mikoto didn't think too much about it. Of course, part of the reason was that she still hadn't figured out Liam's style.
She just thought that this Dungeon exploration was a way of taking care of her.
After all, when she applied to transfer Familias last night, she had explained to Goddess Hestia that she wanted to improve her martial arts.
If there was anything surprising, it was probably that he hadn't ignored her thoughts?
"Prepare appropriately. We'll gather at the central plaza later. This Dungeon adventure won't be too long."
Already prepared for the adventure, Liam picked up the short sword gifted by Hephaestus and decisively gave the command to his Familia members.
To use himself as bait.
The goal was to make the Apollo Familia take the hook. The key was that the acting had to be convincing. He couldn't just cut through the other Familia…
"I hope the final harvest can match the effort put in during this period…"
"."
Especially upon hearing Liam's final murmur, the ominous premonition deep in Lili's heart grew even stronger. A seemingly calm decision.
But behind the scenes, it felt as if it were filled with a monstrous wave.
She knew Liam's personality relatively well. Without a final interest driving him, this guy would certainly not appear so eager.
Moreover, the inexplicable mention of the Apollo Familia…
Watching Mikoto leave, she surveyed her surroundings to confirm there were no other adventurers. She finally couldn't hold back the curiosity deep inside her.
Lili's expression was grave as she asked, "Doing all this, what is your goal?"
"I've already said it, we need to change the Familia home." Having prepared for battle, Liam fastened the scabbard to his waist.
"What do you mean…"
"What does it have to do with the Apollo Familia?" As the young woman finished speaking, a bad thought suddenly sprouted in her mind.
Looking up, she saw Liam's ever-composed expression.
Her speaking tone... trembled uncontrollably as she asked, "You couldn't possibly be thinking of..."
"President Royman from the Adventurer's Guild just instructed yesterday noon that he hoped you would quiet down for this period."
"An incident like the Soma Familia one, he hopes it won't happen again."
"And the strength of their Familia is definitely stronger than the Soma Familia's..." The relatively realistic Lili's face became stern.
She didn't doubt Liam's strength…
She was just worried that the destruction of the Apollo Familia, a "mainstay" force in Orario, would bring about even more severe consequences.
"Don't worry."
"Things like violating Orario's rules, I absolutely won't do it again."
At least for now.
Looking at the young woman's unconventional brown cat ears, Liam smiled faintly and couldn't resist reaching out to stroke her hair.
The feel of the fine fluff was indeed excellent! Receiving Liam's final promise, especially the warm palm on her head, Lili's face could no longer remain tense.
A faint blush gradually covered the young woman's cheeks.
"Could it be that Liam's 'preference' is for cat-girls?"
On the contrary, after the pressure disappeared, Lili's tone became light and cheerful, "Then I'll... go prepare the supplies for the Dungeon expedition first."
"We'll meet at the central plaza then."
It wasn't a Familia expedition, so the supplies needed were very few. It was purely to set a trap for the Apollo Familia.
If he really wanted to improve his ability scores.
He would wait until his weapons were repaired, then explore the lower levels of the Dungeon. Only then could he achieve a leap in his ability scores!
Just a Dungeon exploration.
Separating and trying to make as much noise as possible was what Liam wanted to do. Looking at the gathered members.
His smile was expectant as he said decisively, "Let's go!"
The adventurers left to watch in Orario, upon discovering that the "Hestia Familia" members had gathered and then split up.
Quickly relayed the news to Captain Hyakinthos.
"Captain, Liam Moon and his Familia have made other moves. It looks like they want to start a Dungeon adventure."
"."
Wearing a black Familia uniform, the exceptionally handsome Hyakinthos's expression showed no fluctuation upon hearing these words.
He took off his white gloves, his tone calm, "Then let's begin the operation."
Surveillance served only this purpose. In the Labyrinth City, there really was no other action they could take. Once they reached the chaotic Dungeon area.
Even if Liam knew he was being pursued.
Without substantial evidence, the Adventurer's Guild would absolutely not interfere with them!
To be precise, as long as it allowed Orario to show positive development, this act of snatching adventurers would also be tacitly approved…
"To be able to break through the adventurer level so quickly, he probably has some strength…"
"Send more Lv2 Familia members. Remember…" Hyakinthos paused slightly here.
But what followed…
The smile on his face was filled with extremism, "Make him come to the Familia home on his own initiative. Don't take any other actions."
"Understood. Then we'll just teach him a little lesson?"
"."
Cassandra, following behind Daphne, kept her head down, her long blue hair covering her face, especially after seeing the captain's actions.
Her cool face, hidden by her hair, even her eyes were filled with fear.
The familiar scene before her…
Deep in Cassandra's heart, a particularly strong sense of crisis arose. This was probably greatly related to last night's dream.
A building collapsing…
As a low-ranking member of the Familia, she had once spoken about the dangers in her dreams.
But without any surprise, all were ignored by the Familia members. Even her close friend Daphne was unwilling to believe her.
"What's wrong?"
Realizing Cassandra's state was not right, Daphne turned around curiously, only to find the situation was more serious than expected.
Her whole body was trembling slightly.
As for the specific reason, she could guess it with her eyes closed.
Daphne gently patted her close friend's shoulder, comforting her in as gentle a tone as possible, "Had a nightmare again?"
"Yes…"
"I dreamed of... a building collapsing…"
