Civilization Guardian Front

"Chios, you're back..." With a joyful expression on her face, she stretched her arms around the plate armor boots that the young man stepped on on the land, rubbing her cheeks enthusiastically.

"I miss you so much."

Seeing Mary's attached appearance, Chios leaned over and stroked her wet hair.

"It's only been two days since I saw you. Every time I enter the maze, there shouldn't be a time when I don't come to see you, right?"

"Mm~~" Mary puffed up her cheeks unhappily.

Ka...

She opened her mouth to bite Chios' ankle, but her teeth were almost smashed by the hard armor. She had no choice but to look up at the young man with pitiful eyes, and said aggrievedly:

"Two days, a long time! A long time! Chios, hate. You, don't miss me, I, hate."

"Don't cry, don't cry, it's my way of expressing it wrong..." Forcibly swallowing the thought of sighing while holding his forehead, Chios quickly spoke out to comfort him.

"I mean, I haven't seen you for two days, and I can't bear the thought of seeing you."

"Look, even though I'm busy with surface affairs, don't I still finish it as fast as I can, and come to the Mystery of Water to find you?"

Hearing this, Mary's eyes, which were about to cry, lit up immediately.

"Really? Don't lie to me?"

"Of course." Chios replied with a shrug.

In a way, he really wasn't lying.

Although his main purpose of spending a lot of time in the dungeon was to accumulate proficiency, since this did not affect his meeting with the mermaid girl, the result was killing two birds with one stone.Since the result is the cause, the combined calculation of motives should not be too much.

For any adventure activities that require access to the lower level or even the deep level, for safety reasons, Chios will always camp overnight in the secret room that Mary told him in the Water Mystery City.Considering the fact that he stayed underground much longer than he stayed on the surface, in the past month, he has undoubtedly spent much more time with Mary than other women.

"Then, that's good..." The eyes of the mermaid girl who got the promise curved into crescents happily.

She swung her fishtail violently, jumped out of the water, put her arms around the young man's waist, and threw him to the ground with her whole body weight.

"Hey, Chios, sure enough, I like it the most."

As he spoke, he used his cheeks to keep Masakios lowering his stomach.

(Fortunately, this girl is stupid enough to believe such flawed nonsense...)

Chios secretly rejoiced.

However, just when he thought the crisis was lifted...

"My body seems to be, a little, hot~"

As if echoing those words, Marie raised her hand and took off the shell decoration that blocked the view of her chest.

puff girl...

After untying, the two balls were soft and very elastic shaking.

"Chios, we..." The small mouth breathed hot air, and Mary's words suddenly added a bit of charm.

She turned sideways and twisted the fish body from the waist down to the young man.

"Come on, something more intimate, shall we?"

As the voice fell, about a foot below the girl's navel, a few green scales actually receded outwards, revealing the seams of light blue skin inside.

"Uh..." Chios' face froze slightly.

Is this mermaid in love with herself...

By luck or misfortune, Chios had read "The Dolphin XX Guide" by Dave Phoenix.But at the time, he didn't take the contents of the book too seriously.

Furthermore, he really has no sexual interest in creatures with inhuman faces.

And the heretic in front of him whose upper half is 99% identical to human beings, but whose lower half is fish body, is just walking on the forbidden boundary line judged by Chios.

After all, Mary is not like Nazha, she is a demihuman whose physical structure is exactly the same as that of a human except for the dog ears and tail.

anyway...

Chios suddenly thought of one thing.

Creatures in dungeons do not have juvenile states, and they look the same from birth to death. Although there are no biologists who specialize in studying the lifespan of monsters, it is not difficult to imagine that they can live for a longer period of time when adventurers who are comparable to natural enemies hunt around the clock. will be too long.

Considering that heretics are hostile to monsters and adventurers at the same time, the living environment is estimated to be even worse.

In other words, Mary was born, probably not a few years, maybe even less than one year old...

This explains why she behaves like a babbling child, and also explains why she has an unusual sense of time.

Thinking about this clearly, a little cold sweat suddenly appeared on Chios' forehead.

Damn, is this a crime?

Even though he has rich experience in getting along with women and covers a wide range of ages, it is too much pressure to break through the achievement of transhumanoid race while breaking the minimum age.

"What's wrong with you, Chios..."

Noticing the strange expression on Chios' face, Mary's tone suddenly became a little uneasy, and she instinctively tightened her arms around the young man.

I am afraid that the other party will run away in the next second.

Regardless of age, women are naturally intuitive when it comes to sensing the hot and cold of men's emotions.

"It's nothing..." Chios took a deep breath, relying on his excellent willpower to calm down his tension.

whatever...

Even if it's metal, I can fall in love with it, so what's so difficult about switching to a mermaid?

Chapter 580: No money, no way

神代999年11月05日06：26

Northwest Avenue Guild Headquarters...

"Maze coral and pearls, there are so many..."

Looking at the cloth bag full of precious collectibles in front of them, the guild staff blinked and then raised their hands to rub it vigorously. After about half a minute, they finally accepted the reality.

"Wait a minute, I need a moment to count."

"I'm sorry to trouble you."

Chios nodded, patiently waiting for the other party to complete the statistical work.

After staying in the dungeon for ten consecutive days, and raising all basic ability proficiency to S rating, Chios returned to the surface.

Before setting off, Chios had successfully accepted two commissions of "Collecting the special products of the Mizu City" posted on the guild bulletin board.Since the 25th-27th floor is the home where Mary lives, there are basically no secrets that she does not know.The special product that ordinary adventurers can only obtain through untold hardships, is almost no difficulty for Chios.

Speaking of Mary...

Even for him, thinking of those times spent underwater still has complicated feelings.

After all, they grew up under normal education. Apart from a slightly black-bellied temperament, people who have no deviations in moral values ​​cannot adapt perfectly for a while.

In the past, when he fell in love with Se Jin, at least it was through a humanoid carrier.

Besides, the color gold sisters who have been on the earth for thousands of years have a very deep understanding of human society and culture.Not to mention Feifei, who has been assimilated the most, even Lili, who is the most indifferent and repulsive to people, has become very anthropomorphic over a long period of time.

But Mary, who was born as a heretic, is not only half inhuman physically, but also very straightforward in her courtship, without the slightest sense of shame that ordinary girls should have.

Maybe, in her heart, liking is liking, and it's only natural to combine each other...

The other party embraced such pure love, if Chios retreated a little, it would definitely hurt her.

Therefore, Chios accepted Mary without fully preparing himself.

Fortunately, mermaids are not real fish, they are warm-blooded animals...

(Forget it, let's not think about the absurd things that happened in the past two days for the time being.)

Chios put his hand between his eyebrows, suppressing the memories that flashed in his mind.

Leaving aside the impact of racial differences, if Mary has contact with other heretics, I believe that after this negative distance contact, Chios has successfully laid the foundation for mutual trust in this special camp that does not tolerate trusting outsiders.

He did not hesitate to confront other adventurers and protect Mary, and even the most intimate behavior took place... Combining the above two, Chios can be regarded as a vivid proof of his kindness to heretics.

For the sake of doing public relations, Chios feels that he is also dedicated enough.

Turning your attention back to your eyes, the counting of the guild staff has just ended.

"The special products you brought back include eleven labyrinth corals and 73 labyrinth pearls..."

The voice of the young female staff member trembled slightly:

"According to the purchase price specified in the entrustment, your bounty is 830 million fare."

Whoa whoa!

Hearing the huge amount, many adventurers in the guild headquarters looked sideways.

"I heard you right, what kind of commission can make so much money at once?"

"Don't dream, Chasen, he is the "Sword of Dawn", we are not comparable. "

The young adventurer, who was originally in high spirits, was immediately discouraged when his companion patted him on the shoulder and reminded him with emotion.

"Uh, the hero who broke the record for fastest level-up v.2 and has even more exaggerated earning power. Indeed, we can't compare."

"I heard that even among first-level adventurers, he is one of the best in terms of income..."

The whispered voices of the two were quickly overwhelmed by the shouts of nearby women.

""Ah~~~ It's really Mr. Chios! "

"Lord Chios is so handsome!"

"Good-looking, strong, and can make money... I have decided, and now I have to confess my love to him."

"Go, go, you'll come back crying anyway."

Chios, who instantly became the focus of attention, took the initiative to ignore the noisy words of the girls around him, and waited indifferently for the guild staff to collect the entrusted bounty.

He has long been used to this kind of situation...

As a matter of fact, Chios never worried about the fact that most people toiled and scrambled for the money they asked for...  

It is true that [-]% of Freya's sponsorship funds are used for the "Dawn Watcher" set of armor, plus the cost of purchasing the Periano Manor, buying expensive gifts for women, maintaining a high quality of life... etc. If things go on like this, facing the dilemma of making ends meet seems to be a matter of time.

Of course, it is impossible for Chios to watch the wealth in his hands disappear without doing anything.

He is well versed in diversified investment and financial management. In the past month, he has dispersed most of the idle funds that will not be used in a short period of time by purchasing urban real estate or investing in stores.

At the same time, using his expertise in managing well-known wineries in the Chianti region of Italy in the past, he reached a cooperation with the large-scale crop production faction known as the backbone of the city [Dimit family], and as a partner, produced wine for the other party. Design a winemaking ratio with better quality for several grapes, and persuade the main god to adopt a production process that he is familiar with to increase brewing efficiency.

Later, after going on a date with Alicia on the bustling street, Kiost confirmed that there are no opera works from his original life world here.Therefore, having discovered a business opportunity, he rewrote lyrics for many famous opera scores in the common language, and with the influence brought by his fame, he successfully signed a sharing contract with the Grand Theater on the main street in the south.Now, it is only waiting for those vocal performance teams to master the repertoire, put it on the stage, and collect tickets.

In another month, the sum of the income generated from the above investment will make Chios's daily account more than several times higher than the income of any first-level adventurer who was born and died.

At that time, the overflowing wealth is just a tool he uses to bribe and corrupt the entire urban interest group.

The guild in which Uranus has delegated management power has countless employees with fixed salaries. These people cannot rely on assisting adventurers to obtain a superior standard of living, and can only obtain money by blending their powers involving the affairs of the city.However, their power should not be underestimated. If it were not for this, the remaining member of the Goddess of Justice's family, "Gallery" Lyu Leon, would not have been reduced to the dilemma of having to use assassination methods to eradicate enemies and eventually be wanted.

If you want to have influence in the world's central city, Orario, the reputation of an adventurer alone is definitely not enough.

The family is small, and the main god doesn't care about things. As the only member and head of the group, Chios only needs to give Hestia a few million fares as pocket money every month, and doesn't care about other things.

As everyone knows, the part of Chios' income turned over to the family is far less than one-tenth, and this number will be further reduced in the future.

Anyway, that goddess can live a happy life like this...

Ah...

The corner of Chios' mouth hooked slightly, causing countless women to scream.

Chapter 580 IX? Large-Scale Family Gathering

神代999年11月06日07：08

Twilight Pavilion, Main Hall...

"" Expedition to start again? ""

The members of the Loki family, who were enjoying a hot and delicious breakfast, stopped and looked up at Finn in the first seat.

"But, head..." Raul Nord, the cadre in charge of leading the second army of the family, raised his hands nervously.
