Manga Born to Be King

　　"I'm sorry, I asked you to come over suddenly."

　　In this soundproof room, both of them were standing without a chair, and Nangong Xiao faced Ai Na, whose expression was a little stiff.

　　"this."

　　She handed Nangong Xiao a sealed letter.After hesitating for a while, Aina said, "It's a top-secret mandatory mission, and I want it to be handed over to you."

　　"??"

　　Although the Hestia Familiar is now well-known, it is only a core faction. When encountering an abnormal situation to be dealt with in the dungeon, crusade against powerful monsters, and other situations such as emergencies outside the city, the management agency is in order to solve the problem. The instructions issued will actually be issued to them.

　　(Is it for some reason I don't know?)

　　"Can I open it here?"

14 "Well, but don't show it to me. Because I'm not qualified to know the content."

　　All the members of the family and the dragon girl went to the twentieth floor of the dungeon.

　　"really......."

　　Nangong Xiao revealed the original expression.Was that owl sent by the guild?No, not sure yet, maybe they already knew everything about dungeons?After all, why only the guild controls the dungeon, maybe the person who founded the guild has some kind of power that he doesn't know.

　　Although he deliberately showed some flaws, how could he fish out the big fish hidden behind the scenes?

　　"Mandatory mission..."

　　The others were stunned when they read the instruction book for the mandatory mission in the living room.

　　"Did they find out?"

　　Lily tried her best to stay calm, but her tone lost her composure, and Haruhime stood upright speechlessly.Even Hestia, who was currently reading the instruction book, did not say a word with a solemn expression.No one sat in a chair, but stood in the hall.

　　"What Lily cares more about is the content of this compulsory task..."

　　She seemed unable to understand the instructions in the letter, and narrowed her chestnut eyes.

　　"Lily can't see the purpose of the guild at all. It's neither to arrest us, nor to ask us to hand over Lord Winnie... It turned out to be asking us to go to the dungeon."

　　In addition to the instruction book bordered by the vine pattern, a memo sheet with details is attached.On the floor map written in red, an area deep in the twentieth floor was marked as a destination.

　　Even the departure time is specified.Tomorrow at [-]:[-], the limited time is late night.

　　"You mean the guild has no intention of arresting us?"

　　"That's all I can say for now."

　　"Take Mistress Winnie to the dungeon... Yes, for what?"

　　"Who knows, I can't figure it out at all. What are you going to do with her in the dungeon... We're shipping?"

　　Nangong Xiao rubbed his temples with a headache.What the hell is the guild doing?Is it necessary to hide everything?

　　Dungeon, where Winnie was born.There is also scope, an existence that calls Winnie a compatriot.At least, it is now possible to learn the thoughts of the guild and some secrets about Winnie.As long as you know something, you may be able to open up a way.

　　Hestia turned her gaze back to the mandatory mission instruction book in her hand.The article "Go to the twentieth floor" was written, and the four sides of the paper looked like vines.At first glance it looks like an ordinary pattern, but this is no ordinary decoration.Cleverly hidden is the entire line of text [sacred text] that Goddess Hestia was accustomed to seeing.

　　[After the family leaves, please go to No. [-] Street, District [-], we have no intention of harming you]

　　The script used by the gods wrote this.

　　After asking, I learned that when Bell received this instruction book from Aegina, she had told Nangong Xiao to show Hestia a look.It is also one of the other's goals to support relatives and get in touch with the Lord God.The blue eyes of the goddess narrowed. (Could it be that the one pulling the strings from behind is...?)

　　The code (message) sent to him made Hestia's expression tense.At the same time, Hestia didn't know that Nangong Xiao could also read the so-called sacred text. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the Tower of Babel.

　　"You'd better not do anything outrageous, or I'll be angry.".

Chapter 302

　　Nangongxiao climbed the stairs dyed the color of the sunset.Looking out the window, the sun is about to go down.A light reminiscent of the word twilight basked in profile.Go to the door of your room and slowly open the door.

　　In a corner of the room, on the bed lay a girl with pale skin.She was wearing the same robe as yesterday, with distressing tears in the corners of her eyes, curled up like a fetus.After she fell asleep, she didn't step out of the room.Like being afraid of the outside world.

　　"Have I gone too far?"

　　Although it was an exaggeration, he still roughly talked about the consequences of his identity being discovered. He didn't expect Winnie to be so scared.

　　Quietly walked to the bed, taking care not to make a sound, then sat down beside Winnie.

　　The room was quiet, isolated from the hustle and bustle outside, people's thoughts and cruel malice, and time passed smoothly, only the girl's tiny sleepy breathing scratched her ears.

　　Reaching out his left hand, he touched Winnie's hair.The hair of the blue-silver hair is hard, but it is as smooth as silk.

　　"It feels like a human being."

　　Ignore the scales that grow on the body.

　　"Uh, um..."

　　Eyelids vibrated with blue lashes.

　　The amber eyes opened slightly, the wandering, sleepy eyes quickly found Nangong Xiao, and a smile appeared on his lips.

　　"Sorry for waking you up."

　　After apologizing, Winnie shook her head gently and said no.Breaking through the folded wing of the robe, it swayed with this movement.Between half-dreaming and half-awake, the dragon girl narrowed her eyes with joy.

　　"Winnie, I have something to tell you, are you willing to listen?"?"

　　"Ah."

　　Then he told Winnie to go with her to the place where she was born.

　　"......"

　　"It's not a big deal if you don't want to."

　　It is natural to have such a reaction, and the reason for going to the dungeon is not explained well.Of course she would panic if she suddenly said she was going to that kind of place.Because for Winnie, who has been hurt a lot, the dungeon must also be a scary place.

　　"No, I'll go."

　　Winnie lowered her head, but said in a clear tone.

　　"Xiao, there are other people who are there for me, right? Because of you, you always help me. Although I'm afraid... But as long as I'm with you, I won't be afraid anymore, okay?"

　　Winnie smiled with her back to the setting sun, her body trembling slightly.The alien girl who was only committed to being gentle, pure and innocent, is trying to show her strength.

　　"Sorry, I'm always the only one crying... Thank you for protecting me."

　　Her amber eyes filled with tears, and she was beaming with a smile.Winnie slowly leaned forward and buried her face in his chest.

　　"I like you the most."

　　"Um........"

　　The bait has been put down, will the fish take the hook?

　　"Humanoid monster...you can't go wrong."

　　Putting the goggles back on, Dix cocked the corners of his mouth.

　　The hall has no windows and is dominated by thin darkness.Surrounded by several black cages, the men had a conversation that was not overheard by outsiders.

　　"But then again, it happened on the day the Lord God spying on the other party...Is this the so-called God-given grace? I really can't look down on the Lord God."

　　He casts words of superficial reverence towards the fickle and unrestrained Lord God who is not here at this time.

　　"So, Dix?"

　　"Ah."

　　Decided.Under the smoky crystal colored lenses, the red eyes narrowed.

　　"...Keep an eye on the Hestia family."

　　After sunset, twilight fell, and before long darkness covered overhead.The city has not yet slept, and in the heart of the city, the central square is silent.There were few pedestrians passing by around the towering Mosch, and the hustle and bustle of the taverns with leaking lights on the periphery of the square was far from here.

　　It was late at night, and soon the date would change.

　　The crowd gathered at the west gate of the white-walled tower.

　　The compulsory mission was about to start, and Haruhime and Lily had nervous expressions on their faces.

　　"Don't you have to wait for the other two to come back from the dungeon?"

　　"No need, the three of us can solve it."

　　Someone was looking at us, several of them.

　　Nangong Xiao's (Li Zhao's) instinct told him that some people were watching them from somewhere in the deserted square.It should be far away, but someone is there.Those people are scattered in different directions, not gathered together.

　　Is it because the guild's subordinates are staring at them, or——the male god (Ikelos) who laughed evilly from beginning to end flashed in his mind.

　　He looked away and looked at Winnie, who was hiding her true face with her robes.Under the deeply lowered hood, amber eyes looked up at him uneasily.He smiled at the girl so as not to cause her unnecessary unease.

　　"Time is up."

　　Lily closed the lid of her pocket watch with a snap, announcing the arrival of midnight.The team set off and headed to the twentieth floor. .

Chapter 303

　　Will the monsters you meet also speak like that girl?Could they be as intellectual and rational as we are, or even tearful?

　　Nangong Xiao shook his head gently to let all the thoughts in his brain dissipate.Unlike Lily and Haruhime, who were staring at the path forward seriously, because of their strength, they didn't take such low-level monsters seriously, so it was easy to think wildly.

　　The team entered a battle-ready state and moved forward in the vast maze of trees.The moon hanging high in the night sky is about to be hidden by clouds.

　　Looking up at the gray clouds, Hestia moved down the street.After saying goodbye to them who set off on a mandatory mission, she set off immediately.

　　Even after twelve o'clock, there was still a little crowd noise in the bustling areas such as Adventurer Street on Northwest Avenue.Listening to the voices on the street, Hestia walked under the magic stone street lights that were flickering and dying.

　　The designated "Seventh District [-]th Street" written on the Mandatory Mission Instruction Letter is the meeting place.

　　That location was actually very close to Hestia’s old base, the “Hidden Room of the Church”.To put it succinctly, it is the center of the deserted residential area.

　　Hestia, who came to the designated location, looked around.There are no magic stone lamps here, and even the moonlight is obscured by clouds and faint, and the surrounding area is quite dark.The houses on both sides of the road seem to be uninhabited, and there is no human breath.Wooden sticks stand quietly in the corner of the road, with a Common-language billboard marking Fourth Street stuck to it.

　　The streets covered with darkness are really suitable to be described as ghost streets.Hestia thought so, and in fact it did.

　　"Maybe it's a bit uninteresting to ask where you came from?"
