Chapter 25
After calculating the approximate time, Sirius and Raul discussed it and decided to end the expedition.
The eighth floor has nothing interesting to offer; there are the same types of monsters as before.
And they also started feeling hungry with an empty stomach.
Sirius remembered a quote: There are people in the world so hungry that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.
So, they compromised to their belly and ended their journey.
Not knowing the exact time, Sirius had a feeling that they missed lunchtime.
It was morning when they entered the dungeon. After a long period of battle and exploration, he was sure it was at least noon outside.
Raul, who carried the harvest of their expedition, felt money's weight!
The items in his bag are worth a ton of money!
Well, to be more precise, golden valis!
Their trip back was easier and more convenient than before.
They followed the safer router mentioned in the adventurer's handbook and avoided unnecessary detours.
After all, these optimal routes are determined after countless trials and verifications.
The guild provides adventurers' handbooks with this information so that a team of adventurers can stop wasting time doing unnecessary exploration of the dungeon.
Whether to advance or retreat to the upper floors, the guild listed some optimal routes for the adventurers.
Therefore, many adventurers walk this route daily, making it safer.
Of course, if a team wants to find an unexplored area and battle monsters, they shouldn't follow the guild's path.
After all, kill-steal is common in this route, where an adventurer robs someone's prey.
The other adventurers passing by mostly turn a blind eye to this situation to avoid trouble. After all, the guild's route is a public path.
And the guild only provides directions up to the tenth floor. After that, it entirely depends on the adventurer's ability to explore the dungeon.
After all, this is as much help the guild can offer. The guild is an official organization, not some charity!
Along the way, Sirius and Raul met many adventurers withdrawing to the upper layers.
Many teams of adventurers carried bulging backpacks, bringing a smile to their faces and feeling happy about their gains.
However, some depressed and gloomy adventurers were also heads down, looking very sad and disappointed.
Maybe some of their companions died in the dungeon? Or perhaps the harvest was not up to the expectation?
In any case, this has nothing to do with Sirius and Raul.
Sirius withdrew his gaze from others and walked back with Raul, laughing and chatting on the way.
They followed the guild route from the seventh floor to the first one and finally crossed the "Beginning Road."
They soon saw bright sunlight walking up the spiral stairways, meaning that the exit was near.
After getting out of the dungeon, the tall tower of babel was brought into their vision.
It was a fantastic sight to behold.
Babel was built to stop the monsters within the dungeon from escaping.
It was initially the same size as the buildings but was intentionally destroyed when the first Gods came down to earth. Those Gods later rebuilt it as it currently stands.
All the adventurers are officially out of the murderous dungeon from this point onward.
Many of their tense nerves relaxed, letting the fatigue take over the body.
Some adventurers even collapsed on the group for rest.
Sirius and Raul didn't waste any more time lingering in this place because their stomach was protesting in hunger.
But before eating, they had to exchange magic stones for valis at the exchange hall.
There are two places in Orario to exchange magic stones: Guild Headquarters and Tower of Babel.
Most adventurers usually go to the one in front of the tower of babel because of its close proximity.
Of course, it doesn't imply that the exchange hall in the guild headquarters is empty.
Some adventurers prefer to go there for exchange. It is based on their preference.
"It will take a while to exchange. Why don't you take the drop items and sell them yourself? After all, these items don't belong to me!" Raul said something reasonable.
"Okay, Raul! You can exchange our magic stones and give my share of money later." Sirius readily accepted his suggestion and received the drop items.
"Well, I'm glad to have your trust!" Raul was pleased to see this.
"And there's a meeting in the evening to discuss the upcoming expedition. Don't be late! See you soon, Sirius!" Raul hurriedly informed him.
Loki Familia will start their dungeon expedition tomorrow.
As the God in charge, she needs to spend quality time with her familia members and wish them a safe journey.
"Okay! Thanks for the reminder." After saying this, Sirius and Raul went their own way.
Raul headed to the exchange hall in front of the tower of babel.
Whereas Sirius walked in the direction of guild headquarters.
After putting his spear in the back, he looked at the sky carefully.
After exiting the dungeon, Sirius could finally determine the time.
At the moment, the sky was bright and blue with no apparent signs of clouds.
He concluded that the time was around noon.
In other words, Sirius spent half of his day inside the dungeon.
It's not surprising to most adventurers…
After all, dungeon exploration is a tedious and time-consuming job.
But this was only a temporary thing for Serius!
When he is familiar with the dungeon environment, the efficiency of his exploration will naturally increase.
After separating from Raul with a small backpack, he attracted the attention of some adventurers nearby.
There are few drop items compared to magic stones. Therefore, it was easy for him to carry them in his backpack.
Unfortunately, there is no storage function in his system, making it inconvenient for him to carry many things.
Even though Sirius tried to be as low-key as possible, he still attracted some curious eyes.
Some were envious, while others were outright malicious…
After all, his weapon and equipment look luxurious compared to other adventurers.
"Well, my friend… I have a bold plan!" A nearby rough-looking human adventurer whispered to his dwarf companion.
However, his companion blocked the guy's mouth and glared.
"Idiot! Get that kind of thinking out of your sh!tty mind!"
"Can't you recognize the guy from before beside the kid? That's Raul Nord, a second-class adventurer of Loki Familia!" He also didn't forget to remind his foolish friend.
"He's not something we can provoke, understand?" After saying this, the dwarf dragged the previous guy and left the scene in a hurry.
Similar scenes were happening around Sirius.
Adventurers are not necessarily good people. Many of them often put their life on the line.
Therefore, such intense pressure often brings some change in their characters.
Adventurers are very wary of each other and obey the rule of the jungle.
Even a kind person may turn dark to survive, not to mention malicious people.
Some dishonest adventurers even make a living robbing the weak.
But all of them have an awe and fear for the strong!
Sirius didn't care about others' conspiracy and hurriedly left the area.
After all, if someone didn't have a good eye and provoked him, he would call the seniors of his familia to take good care of that guy.
Also, with his current strength, low-level adventurers are obviously no match for him.
And Loki Familia is one of the most powerful familia in Orario. No adventurer is foolish enough to offend them for no reason.
After some time, he arrived in front of the guild headquarters.
