Looking Forward to Another World

——"Monster Festival".

This is an annual large-scale celebration in Orario, a super-large event hosted by the Ganesha family.

On the day of the celebration, the Ganesha family will cooperate with the guild to book the large arena located on the east side of the city for a whole day and open it to the public, selling tickets so that the citizens of Orario can go and watch.

The content of the observation is exactly the taming of monsters.

There is a profession called animal trainer.

Beast Tamers are usually high-level adventurers who have received favors. They master the technology of training monsters and can tame violent dungeon monsters and turn them into obedient pets.

The main content of the Monster Festival is that the organizer Ganesha Familia sends powerful beast tamers to deal with the ferocious monsters brought from the dungeon in front of the general public and tame them one by one.

Simply put, it is a comprehensive performance of bullfighting and circus.

This is a festival held every year in Orario.

For this festival, the Ganesha family will send people into the dungeon in advance to capture monsters from the dungeon and transport them to the ground for taming performances during the festival.

This is also a festival that has caused controversy among countless people.

Because bringing dangerous monsters to the ground is not something worth advocating in itself.

Therefore, at this time of year, many people will be inexplicably worried. They are worried that the guild and the Ganesha family that maintain urban peace will put the cart before the horse and put dangerous factors (monsters) on the ground for the sake of the celebration, causing accidents. Many people are also contemptuous. Said that this is just a superficial policy made to please the citizens.

However, despite many doubts and criticisms, the Monster Festival was held again and again.

the reason is simple.

The purpose of this event itself is indeed to buffer conflicts between citizens and adventurers.

The so-called adventurers, to put it bluntly, are a group of armed groups who fight and kill all day long.

Due to receiving the favor of God and possessing inhuman strength, many adventurers tend to have an inflated mentality, thinking that they are superior to others, and have the habit of using force to solve problems once something goes wrong, so that they often fight against Orario. friction among ordinary citizens, causing citizens to be dissatisfied with public security.

The purpose of the Monster Festival is to use this grand festival to eliminate the senses of urban residents towards adventurers through clean and bloodless taming, and to make them realize that adventurers are not problem people, not violent elements, but A hero who protects the city, protects the world, and can deal with monsters.

In order to efficiently recover magic stones from the dungeon, and in order to maintain the position of conquering monsters and protecting the adventurers on the ground, the guild had to act like this to protect the adventurers.

Due to their close relationship with the guild, the Ganesha family has always been the organizer of the festival and cooperated with the guild in organizing this festival.

Today, this event, held purely to please the crowd, has become an extremely famous event in Orario. Some people will even travel thousands of miles from outside the city to watch this show.

Li Ge realized that today might be the day of the Monster Festival.

The two flags hanging overhead on the street, one is the flag of the Ganesha family, and the other is the promotional sign of the monster festival.

Coupled with this lively scene, Li Ge believed that his return just happened to happen on this day.

But, he didn't feel happy.

"...You won't have to get busy as soon as you come back, right?"

Li Ge couldn't help but muttered.

no way.

If he remembered correctly, there would be serious chaos on the day of the Monster Festival.

Some people (gods) will release monsters without authorization for their own desires.

Some people (gods) will create chaos without authorization for their own evil thoughts.

Moreover, the Loki family will be involved in it, and they will start an arduous and bloody confrontation with this existence that is ready to move in the darkness.

However, this is still unavoidable.

Because the opponent's goal is the entire Orario, and the Loki Familia, as one of the strongest factions in Orario, simply cannot sit idly by.

Many people in the Loki family also have entanglements with these entities that are ready to move in the darkness, especially Ais, who will inevitably be targeted by certain entities (monsters).

"It seems that I can't go back to the clan's base camp first."

Li Ge used magic to release virtual magic eyes and let them fly into the sky.

"No matter what, let's find Ais first."

…………

At the same time, the blond-haired swordswoman with golden eyes that Li Ge was looking for also appeared on the streets of Orario, and did not stay at the base camp of the Loki Familia.

This is Dongjie Street, which as the name suggests is the main street located in the East District of the city.

Different from Northwest Street, which is called Adventurer Street, and Northeast Street, which exists as an industrial area, East Street mainly contains facilities managed by the guild as the city manager, including the amphitheater used to hold monster festivals. In Orario, the facilities managed by the guild are basically concentrated in this area, and all the festivals hosted by the city are basically held in this area. As a result, many hotels, vendors and stores have been opened here, which is quite a focus on the development of tourism. The meaning of area.

Thanks to this, on the day when the Monster Festival is held, East Street can be said to be the busiest place. It is not an exaggeration to call this place a sea of ​​people. The roadside stalls placed on both sides of the road and in the center are always exuding... The fragrant smell kept the stomachs of passers-by on the road, making them focus on the meat being grilled by the fire. Listening to the sizzling sound of the oil being overheated, they involuntarily moved towards the vendors.

"Come on, come on, try this, Miss Ace!"

Loki, the main god of the Loki Familia, also appeared on this east street, holding a large skewer of barbecue just bought from the stall and feeding it to the female swordsman beside him with a smile on his face.

Upon closer inspection, there was a small gap in the skewer of barbecue.

There is no doubt that that part was secretly bitten off by some god.

Loki, the evil god in Nordic mythology, is a woman and loves women. Because of some evil thoughts that are not common to outsiders, he is preparing to deceive the natural female swordsman and let her play a sweet indirect kissing game with him.

It's a pity that the Lord God's evil thoughts still failed to achieve any effective results today.

"…………"

The blond-haired swordswoman with golden eyes walked beside the carefree Lord God, and was being fed meat by the other party with a smile on her face, but she didn't even pay attention to her, and kept silent.

She walked slowly on the street, and was looked at with amazement, fear, curiosity, envy and even jealousy by the people around her. Although there was no expression on her face, she still became the most beautiful scenery on this East Street. Watched by people of many races.

She ignored the Lord God and the people around her and walked straight forward, her transparent golden eyes unfocused for some unknown reason.

Obviously, the girl was in a daze, or was distracted, and did not hear the Lord God's words at all.

"Ho! Miss Ace! Don't ignore us!"

Loki was dissatisfied and protested on the spot.

"We finally went on a date at the festival. Shouldn't we happily play outdated couple games with me at this time? Miss Ace will lose points for doing this! Points will be deducted!"

The Lord God's unreasonable troubles made the girl regain her senses somewhat.

"……no."

The girl then spoke.

"What?"

Loki stepped forward.

"It's not a date." Ais said expressionlessly while pushing Loki's face away, "It was Loki who forced me out."

"There's nothing I can do! Why has Miss Ais been so low energy recently? She didn't even go to the dungeon that she usually likes to go to? It's an unprecedented first time!" Loki not only didn't regret it, but also had a look on his face. Of course, he said: "Although Riveria and I feel a lot more at ease when you stay in a place where we can see you like this, but you are bored at home like this every day, looking like you don't think about food or food, this is another situation." It makes people feel uneasy!"

After saying that, Loki expressed this.

"I finally rose to Level 6 and became the first person in the family to catch up with the leader's camp. People don't know what to say to you like this."

"Burt, Tiona, and Tione were so stimulated by you that they have been shouting "Being surpassed!" "I have always felt unwilling to say this. Even Lefiya was stimulated. Recently, she often ran to Riveria. It is said that she was learning parallel chanting. Everyone in the family members also became diligent, and everyone became Super positive.”

"As a result, you are uncharacteristically staying at home every day, not going anywhere, and looking gloomy. Are everyone worried about you now?"

Loki, who kept talking like this, stopped talking at a certain moment.

"Are you so worried about that guy Li Ge? Estan!"

The main god opened his squinted eyes slightly, as if he had seen through Ais's heart, and cast a meaningful gaze that was not seen in the past.

Suddenly, Ais was silent again.

"Oh, don't worry about him." Loki patted Aisi's shoulder and said carelessly: "That kid is already Level 5. Even you before the upgrade are no longer his opponent. You are no longer a match for him." Why worry about him?"

"Besides, he just went to do some work. It's not like he won't come back."

"People have already said that he will be back in a few days or a month at most."

"So, stop thinking about that heartless guy. Since it's rare to stay at home and not go to the dungeon, then come with us to go shopping, go on a date, and relax, okay?"

After hearing this, Ais was silent for a while and then looked at Loki.

"...will you really come back soon?"

The girl made the confirmation for an unknown number of times.

"It's true!" Loki was jealous and said very dissatisfied: "You know, Miss Aisi, children from the lower world cannot lie in front of us (gods). Since that kid told the truth, A few days to a month will come back, so that’s for sure.”

"This is the truth, not a lie."

"How are you? Are you relieved?"

After hearing this, although only a little, the girl's expression did relax and was no longer so tense.

"That's right." Loki said with a smile, "Let's take a walk."

Ais didn't object and followed Loki obediently, walking among the crowd.

They didn't know that in the underground of the city, the turbulent darkness finally showed its fangs.

"Tick..."

Amidst the gentle sound of water, there was something huge, dragging its long body and slowly moving towards the lively ground.

That is undoubtedly their destination.

"Rumble..."

The ground shook slightly.

A catastrophe, not too big or too small, is coming.
