Chapter 70: Familia Expedition, Title!
Liam had only interacted with Eina among the Adventurer's Guild staff, but seeing the silver-haired male elf at the top of the stairs, he quickly recognized his identity.
Royman, who managed all the Guild's affairs. Even the news of the "Compulsory Familia Expedition" he brought didn't exceed his prior expectations.
Updating his adventurer level, at most, would just make Ouranos overlook the truth of the matter.
It didn't mean there wouldn't be appropriate punishment for his act of disturbing the order. It was just that the speed was faster than Liam had anticipated…
What he really needed to pay attention to was the objective of the Familia expedition.
After all, while Royman was explaining to Hestia, he just stood quietly beside the young woman, waiting for the Familia expedition objective set by the Guild.
"Are you sure?"
Hestia's face stiffened instantly. She wasn't questioning the Adventurer's Guild's decision, just fixing her gaze on Liam.
Currently, they only had one dependant.
To undertake a Familia expedition, there had to be sufficient personnel配置 (configuration/setup), supplies to bring into the Dungeon, and support provided in combat…
Otherwise, it would be difficult to sustain a prolonged battle.
"Of course."
"This is the command issued by Lord Ouranos. In view of the fact that Lady Hestia's Familia is just in its establishment phase, the requirements are not too high."
"After a comprehensive analysis by the Adventurer's Guild, we hope you can reach the New World (deeper floors)."
Royman informed them of the compulsory expedition's goal. If it were an ordinary Familia, an ordinary Guild employee could have been sent to deliver the message.
His personal visit was largely because of Liam.
He had already guessed that the destruction of the Soma Familia was inextricably linked to this new adventurer who had created a miracle. As for what followed…
It was what Lord Ouranos had asked him to personally convey.
Royman's aged face was filled with calm as he relayed the words, "That Lord's meaning is that the bargaining chip is not yet enough."
"No problem."
It was a compulsory expedition with a punitive nature. Liam had no objections, and the overall difficulty wasn't as great as he had imagined.
Just reaching the limit a Lv2 adventurer could go.
After his level was sublimated, all his ability scores were reset. An exhilarating Familia expedition to continue improving his strength.
Even the class level of the "Sword Soul Template" could soar.
He cast a reassuring glance at Hestia, then asked with a relaxed smile, "I'd like to ask, what is the deadline for the Familia expedition?"
"Three days from now. Prepare as much as possible." Not expecting Liam to be so easygoing, Royman replied immediately.
He sincerely hoped that Orario and the Adventurer's Guild could develop for the better.
It could also be considered as providing advice to an adventurer with potential. From the perspective of Familia strength, the compulsory expedition process would be full of danger.
"No one will joke with their own life."
Liam couldn't deny it. What he was really concerned about was the "title" issue. Relying on Hestia to get the one he wanted was completely hopeless.
If it were Ouranos who proposed it, presumably the vast majority of gods would agree.
He looked at Royman with a serious expression and then said, "If possible, I hope you can help me convey a message to Lord Ouranos."
"I have already thought of an adventurer title."
Royman's murky eyes looked at the relaxed young man, somewhat surprised. So, did this count as bargaining with Lord Ouranos?
An ordinary adventurer probably wouldn't even have a chance to meet him.
But for a new adventurer who had created a miracle, his attitude was naturally different. After indicating he would convey the message to Ouranos, he left this rundown place.
Even if Lili's presence was a bit of an eyesore.
Hearing that Liam had an idea for his title after breaking through his adventurer level, Hestia cast a curious gaze and asked directly, "Liam-kun."
"You've thought of a title?"
If Liam had no clue about the title, she was already prepared. Finn Deimne, the captain of the Loki Familia, had the title "Brave."
Breaking the world record, a title like "Legendary Brave."
Although such a title would absolutely not be approved, at least she could see Loki's vexed expression. Just thinking of the image made Hestia feel happy. Since Liam had an idea, she would, of course, listen.
"Mm."
He knew this group of extremely bored gods would definitely have fun with the title. If they made it something strange, Liam definitely couldn't accept it.
He was walking the path of a Sword Soul. Even the development ability after his level breakthrough was the unprecedented "Sword Soul."
The answer was already obvious. He said decisively, "Let's just use Sword Soul."
"That's actually pretty good."
Knowing that titles were based on development abilities, and that the weapon Liam used was a sword, Hestia felt this title was inexplicably fitting.
It was only when she came back to her senses.
That she finally realized the matter of the "Compulsory Familia Expedition" had been sidetracked. An adventurer's title was certainly important, but it obviously wasn't as important as the latter, right?!
"Um... shouldn't we be concerned about the Familia expedition now?"
The one who raised the confusion was Lili, who had been left out for the whole process. She had absolute confidence in Liam's strength. After cramming all the knowledge of the middle-level areas.
She wasn't worried about the Familia expedition.
The premise was that Liam wouldn't continue to use "Monster Parties" to improve his ability scores. Not only that, but she also saw an opportunity to join the Familia.
Lili's smile was bright as she proactively brought it up, "I'm currently a supporter with a free status. If you're short on people, I can participate."
"Huh?"
A Familia expedition was full of unknown dangers. This was where Hestia's headache lay. Relying on Liam alone was not enough to complete it.
To set off within the time frame, she had to seek help from other Familias.
Now, a supporter was saying she could help. This was undoubtedly good news for the situation. She carefully sized up the young woman before her.
"Are you really willing to help?"
"Of course. It would be even better if I could join your Familia, Lady Hestia." Lili directly revealed her true intentions.
This was also what she was most apprehensive about. If things went smoothly, her status would be Liam's companion.
Hestia, of course, agreed with adventurers and supporters joining the Familia. Although she would prefer to be alone with Liam.
But if other members joined, it would alleviate the pressure.
Most crucially, she had witnessed the Familia at its most desolate, yet was still willing to join. Her answer was very decisive, "Joining the Familia is very simple!"
"Oh, right."
"Which Familia did you belong to before, and did your god agree to your transfer?" This was also a question Hestia was curious about and had forgotten to ask.
Avoiding friction with other Familias was key.
"."
"The Soma Familia. Lord God has already approved my request to leave the Familia." When her identity was mentioned, Lili's heart was enveloped in nervousness.
Even when interrogated by Shakti, she hadn't been this anxious.
And the facts were not unexpected. Upon hearing that Lili was from the destroyed Soma Familia, the smile on Hestia's face vanished instantly.
She turned to look at Liam, whose expression was strange, and saw that he held no objections.
The corners of her mouth twitched slightly. The words were already out; there was no taking them back now. Finally, facing the young woman's expectant gaze.
Hestia's expression was strange. A god couldn't go back on her own words, right? She sighed and nodded, "What else can be done?"
"I can only agree…"
