The son of the dragon who walks

Chapter 169 Guards
After seeing off Tsubaki, Charles went straight to Hephaestus and told her that he wanted to join the expedition of the Loki family.

Hephaestus didn't stop him, because she also believed in Charles' strength.

The next step is to prepare for the expedition.In fact, there is no need for additional preparations for Charles.

Even if Shire entered the dungeon alone, he didn't prepare too many things, let alone going deep with the Loki family as a blacksmith this time.

The medicine is in charge of the Loki family, so besides buying a set of portable blacksmith equipment this time, Charles plans to bring only one piece of equipment.

It was a cloak made of the skin of the deep material strong dragon, and its defensive performance was quite good.Of course Charles made it himself.

After all, it's really hard to explain why you don't bring any equipment when you want to act with the Loki family.

In this way, a week passed in the blink of an eye, and it was time for the second expedition of the Loki family.

Ciel gathered with his companions of the Familia early in the morning, and then rushed to the Tower of Babel to join the Loki Familia.

Although Tsubaki has always been unreliable, at least he did one good thing, that is, helped Shire get to know most of the members of the family.

Most of the Hephaestus family are blacksmiths who are obsessed with forging, and it is because of their pure mind that they are easy to get along with.

After learning that Tsubaki revealed that Ciel can create first-level equipment, Ciel quickly became one with these people.

Among them, the dwarf named Zad is the one who is most familiar with Charles.

Zade, level LV3, title <Fire Beard>, the title comes from the red fluffy beard on his chin.He is also a senior blacksmith who can create first-level equipment and magic swords.

The two chatted all the way, and soon arrived under the Tower of Babel, where they saw the Loki family waiting there.

Sure enough, the Loki family divided into three teams to enter the dungeon this time, and then they were scheduled to merge on the 37th floor.

When Charles and the others arrived, the first two teams had already set off, leaving only the team led by Finn waiting for everyone.

Perhaps in consideration of protecting the blacksmiths of the Hephaestus family, the configuration of this team is quite luxurious.

In addition to Finn, Ciel also saw <Sword Princess> Ais and her little follower <Thousand Spirit> Refia.

There are also Amazon sisters in the team. Even if this configuration goes directly to the deep level, there should be no problem.

This time, the strongest person sent by the Hephaestus family is Zade, so Finn came directly to him and said, "Zade, this time I'm counting on you again!"

Zade and Finn shook hands and said: "Where, for the [-]% of the loot, we will also maintain your equipment as if it were new!"

"Then I'm relieved!" Finn said, his eyes shifted to Charles and said: "I didn't expect you to come to this expedition, Charles, it seems that I have the opportunity to see the magic sword that you are confident in. Already!"

If it was just a guess before, now Charles can bet that Finn wanted him to join the expedition on purpose.

To deal with this kind of person is really impossible to have any flaws!

Although he did not slander Finn in his heart, on the surface Charles still said politely: "Of course, Finn, you can look forward to it!"

And Charles immediately sensitively felt that gaze fell on him again, and just wanted to tell Finn about it, but Finn spoke first with a smile.

"By the way, in order to protect everyone, I arranged for Ais to protect you."

Zade shouted loudly before Shire: "Let Sword Fairy protect us? What an honor!"

Charles glanced at Zade expressionlessly, and he said that he had no choice but to refuse.

Finn nodded with satisfaction, and announced that the expedition had officially departed.

This is not the first time the two families have cooperated, they quickly formed a formation and began to enter the dungeon.

The squad's adventure in the dungeon is not like the army on the battlefield that can be placed in various formations.

Because the terrain in the dungeon is complicated, and you have to fight monsters that don't know when they will appear while advancing, so basically there will only be a simple formation of avant-garde, center back and back.

Among them, the guards are generally supporters who carry logistics, magicians who provide long-range support, or adventurers who use bows and crossbows.Of course, there are also some fighters who provide guards.

The central defender is the position of Finn, who is responsible for controlling and coordinating the situation of the entire team.At the same time, it is also ready to support the avant-garde and defender in emergencies.

As for the avant-garde, it is naturally responsible for actively resisting the monster's attack and launching a fierce counterattack.

With the strength of the Rocky family, even a part of the expedition team can guarantee the integrity of the formation.And Finn's commanding ability made Charles couldn't help but admire.

On the upper and middle floors of the dungeon, Finn constantly moved the front row personnel, and sometimes even changed the personnel in the front row and the center back.

Ciel could see that Finn was training the juniors in the family.Those who were arranged to fight monsters frequently were young adventurers around LV3.

Presumably those are newcomers from the Familia, who may not have participated in expeditions before, and Finn is cultivating them to get used to team fighting.

Charles glanced at Finn with admiration, no wonder everyone envied the big family, it is good to have such a reliable head.

But... Charles frowned, turned his head and said, "Well, Miss Jian Ji, what's the matter with you?"

In Shire's memory, even Finn couldn't hold Ais back after the battle started.I don't know why she has been following me this time, but I have to know that I was placed in the guard position!

"Ace."

When Charles heard Ais say his name, he couldn't help looking at her suspiciously.

"Just call me Ais." Ais said as she looked at Charles.

Charles was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Then I won't be polite, Miss Ai Si, I don't need your protection here, you can go to other places."

Ciel almost explained the meaning of "stay away from me", but Aisi just tilted her head to look at Ciel and said, "Finn asked me to protect you, I can't leave!"

Charles looked at Zade for help, only to see Zade show an ambiguous smile to himself, and then gave a thumbs up.His bared teeth gleamed so brightly that Charles wanted to knock them out.

It's over, Zade can't count on it completely, Charles can only look at Aisi and say: "You see, this place has just entered the middle level, everyone is a reliable adventurer, so don't take it so seriously."

Ace replied: "No, if Finn's task is not completed, he will lecture me!"

Charles raised his eyebrows, is Ais still afraid of preaching?She wasn't lectured for messing around that time when she returned from the dungeon!

But she has said so, and Charles can't keep chasing people away.

Sighing, Charles said, "Let's be honest, what did Finn send you here for?"

Aisi's expression changed, and Charles knew what she was thinking at a glance, but it was something like "how did you know Finn had other instructions".

After thinking about it, Aisi said, "Finn wants to know how good you are, and I want to know too!"

Charles frowned. Finn didn't hide his probing purpose when he sent Ais to his side.This also means that he will not use small tricks that are not on the table. As for exposing everything, it depends on Shire's own wishes.

Sure enough, these adventurers who have made their name are not easy.
