Beginning Hero: Seeking Encounters in Dungeons

With Hestia and Lily seeing them off, Xu Mo took Kanna and left Orario.

Since the journey took a whole day, and there were no caravans heading in the same direction during this time, Xu Mo could only buy a horse as a means of transportation.

Fortunately, he had learned horsemanship in his previous life, otherwise he would have been at a loss.

He watched Xu Mo's figure go up and down, getting farther and farther away, and finally gradually disappeared from his sight.

"Lily, let's go back and wait for Mo-kun and Kanna-chan to come back."

""Yes, Lady Hestia."

Hestia retracted her gaze, exhaled lightly, and walked towards the station with Lily. Her expression was very relaxed, but deep in her heart, she couldn't help but feel worried.

But now, Xu Mo had to believe that he could get out of danger.

At this time, Xu Mo, who was holding Kanna and riding a horse, showed the pass prepared by Hestia to the guard at the entrance of Orario.

They seemed to be specially commissioned to guard the gate. One of the two guards was a member of a family, and the other was a guild staff member. After confirming the authenticity of the permit, they nodded at the same time and chose to let it go. The horses' hooves trampled heavily on the ground and gradually left into the distance.

The dawn of the sunrise shone from behind the ridges of the mountains, and the light burning the morning sky made the sky bright.......

The ruins of the ancient city of Shulim, this castle built in the middle of a plain without forests or hills, is one of the defense bases of ancient architecture.

In order to keep the cities and towns behind away from the monsters that appeared in the underground cave, and also to block them, many such castles were built in the area near the labyrinth city before the Tower of Babel and the huge wall were completed.

Although these castles have almost turned into ruins today, only the ruins of the ancient city of Shulim was used as a stronghold by the once prosperous kingdom until a century ago. Therefore, although the atmosphere is lonely and deserted, the functions of the city walls are still intact. This time, the war game chose this place as the battlefield.

There are several towers with some signs of collapse attached to the wall. The height of its stone wall is more than ten meters, and the thickness is impeccable. If you want to break through this outer wall, you must at least use powerful magic. Even high-level adventurers cannot easily cross the line. Located on a plain that is easily attacked, this city has been able to maintain its original shape until today, which is mostly due to this wall.

Members of the Soma clan have already arrived here.

There are as many as seventy of them, almost all the members of the clan who can be used. Under the instructions of the captain of the team, the members are busy repairing the city walls, or storing and configuring spare weapons, props, and food.

The duration of this war game is three days.

If the Soma clan can hold out for three days, or make Xu Mo and Kanna lose their combat ability, they will win. Otherwise, the Hestia clan will win in the end.

In the throne room of the most conspicuous tower in the castle, Chanis, the leader, snorted coldly. He looked out the window at the city where the members were scattered, his eyes full of gloom.

"Humph, a mere poor god's family actually dares to provoke us, they simply don't know how to live or die!"

"Ede, I won't let you go. I must get your magic. Even if I can't get it, I will destroy you with my own hands!"......

Today, Orario is several times more lively than usual.

As if a celebration had taken place, adventurers from every clan gave up the idea of heading to the dungeon today, and appeared together in the streets and alleys of the maze city.

All taverns opened in the early morning, and vendors set up stalls in every corner of the streets to celebrate this hard-won ceremony. The only reason for this could be the gods who thought it was not lively enough.

This caused all the taverns to be full at this time, and the workers who had finally found leave, as well as ordinary residents, could only go to the central square for free.

Everyone is looking forward to the moment when the war game begins.

"Ah——! Good morning, everyone! Hello everyone, I am the person who is working on the live broadcast of this war game. I belong to the Ganesha family, I am Ibri Achar, known as the 'talking fire magic', also known as 'Flame Explosion Flame'. I hope you can give me your advice."In the guild headquarters, an extremely exaggerated stage was built in this place.

A brown-skinned young man, holding a magic stone microphone, made a loud voice. Even those who did not grab the front row seats could hear his voice clearly.

"In order to make it easier for all viewers to watch, we have specially invited our main god to be in charge of the commentary. So, now let’s hand the stage over to Lord Ganesha and let me hear your cheers!"

"Ohhhh! Lord Ganesha!!!"

"......"

As the male god Ganesha wearing a huge elephant-head mask appeared, the atmosphere on the scene reached its peak, and all the audience began to cheer in unison.

Today, even a large number of foreign residents were attracted by the war game.

The guild even cooperated with merchants to collect a certain entrance fee to promote this event to the world. In addition, it will start a handicap for everyone's entertainment.

It is no exaggeration to say that almost all the projects that the gods can think of have appeared today.

"Hahaha, it's been so lively for a long time, it's so fun. Hey, Freya, which side do you think will be the final winner of today's war game? Is it the larger Soma clan, or the dwarf clan?"On the 30th floor of the Tower of Babel, Loki looked at the scene below with excitement.

For a god like her who likes to play pranks, there is no way to rest, and those gods who are looking forward to the war game have all come here.

On the contrary, Hestia and Soma, the two parties involved, did not come.

Hearing Loki's question, the goddess of beauty Freya sitting next to her smiled faintly, gently shook the goblet in her hand, and through the scarlet liquid in the cup, an inexplicable smile appeared on her face.

"Who will have the last laugh? Loki, just keep watching, there will be a surprise!"

"Really? It seems that you have the same opinion as me, Freya!"

After the two main gods of the strongest clan in Orario looked at each other, they stopped talking and sat on the chairs, quietly waiting for the game to begin.

""Tick, tick, tick, tick!"

Noon arrived, and the hour hand and minute hand overlapped.

Loki and Freya, who were sitting together, looked around. The gods present raised their chins at the same time and said to the sky:"It's almost time, so let's officially start! Uranus, please allow us to exercise our power."

This sentence that vibrated the space was responded to after a few seconds,"Yes!"

From the direction of the guild headquarters, a very steady and majestic declaration slowly came out, and almost the entire Orario heard this sound.

After receiving the response, all the gods in Orario snapped their fingers at the same time.

""Buzz!" Instantly,"mirrors" appeared in all places of the labyrinth city at the same time, which were"divine power" used to broadcast the specific situation of the war game.

This was one of the few powers that the gods were allowed to use in the underworld.

Of course, this ability could only be used in large-scale occasions such as war games. If it was used privately without permission, the person would be sent back to the divine world.

All preparations were ready, and the bets had been made.

Even Hestia bet all her belongings on Xu Mo.

"Now I declare that the war game between the [Hestia Family] and the [Soma Family], in the form of a siege, will officially begin now!"

Ding——!"

With the ringing of a huge bell and cheers from all over the city, the war finally kicked off.

At the same time, the contestants in the ruins of the ancient city also received instructions.

Compared to Xu Mo, who had not yet revealed his whereabouts, the Soma Family, as the defending party, was very nervous at this time. With only seventy people in such a large ancient city, there was no way to fully deploy defenses. The pressure was enormous, even though they had an absolute advantage in numbers.

To the west of the ancient city, in a dense forest.

Xu Mo and Kanna arrived here early and were standing on a big tree observing the situation in the direction of the ancient city. The horses, as a means of transportation, were leisurely eating wild grass. In comparison, there was no solemnity and tension here that should be associated with a war.

Instead, it was like taking the family out for an outing, traveling, and being relaxed and carefree.

""Kanna, do you want to join this battle?" Without rushing to attack, Xu Mo bit the stick in his mouth and asked the little Loli beside him.

The purpose of bringing Kanna here was just for insurance.

If the little guy didn't want to fight, Xu Mo wouldn't force him. Anyway, he was enough alone. If he could lose with space magic, he could chop off his head.

"Well, I want to help Ah Mo."Kanna replied softly.

Hearing this, Xu Mo nodded,"I see. In that case, Kanna-chan, come with me! Fight head-on and let these guys have a taste of our power!"

Xu Mo hugged Kanna into his arms, and fell directly from the tree branch and returned to the horse.
