Chapter 379 Kidnapping the Guild's Half-Elf
"Commander, commander, we want a large public bath!"
"If only we had a training ground!"
"I also want a new kitchen."
Upon hearing about the reconstruction of the Star Garden, the girls, including Tione, Anya, and Kaguya, all made requests, and Astraea was no exception.
"Is that all?" Roy glanced at the requirements on the form. In fact, he wasn't particularly annoyed that Roy and Lunova had destroyed the Star Court.
Roy was also planning to rebuild the Star Garden.
Freya personally came to Ryu's house and caused a huge scene. When she was teaching Ryu the "Afterglow" technique, her slash tore open a hundred-meter-long crack and almost destroyed the neighbor's house.
Several accidents had already left the mansion battered and bruised, barely habitable.
After Alyssa, Kaguya, and the others were resurrected, the number of members in the Familia doubled, making the area even more crowded.
Since the area had just been vandalized, Yu simply bought up the surrounding land and commissioned the Gubern family to rebuild it, creating comfortable and enjoyable residences for everyone.
When people live comfortably, conflicts naturally disappear.
Poor Chloe and Lunova had no idea that by paying to work and helping with the demolition, they had also incurred a debt of one billion fali. The only trouble they caused Roy and the others was that their personal belongings were buried under the ruins, but with the strength of adventurers, clearing the ruins was not difficult and could be done in an hour or two.
"Commander, please!"
The girls looked at Roy with expectant eyes.
"I'll be right back." Roy activated his magic, and spatial fluctuations appeared, engulfing his figure.
In an instant, Roy traversed most of Orario, first arriving at the guild headquarters to resolve the land issue and, more importantly, to poach a certain half-elf girl.
As soon as Roy stepped into the guild headquarters, the atmosphere was electric. A constant stream of people wanted to become adventurers, and the spacious hall was packed with newcomers. A whole bunch of gods came to join in the fun, their faces beaming with joy.
The reason for this great success is naturally due to the Astrea Familia, Loki Familia, and Freya Familia. In less than a month, eight LV.7 adventurers were born, which can be described as an unprecedented miracle!
Even the former retinues of Zeus and Hera were not this outrageous, inspiring countless people.
To the untrained eye, adventurers are almost always associated with power, wealth, and freedom.
With the expectation that he would be the next "hero" or "madman", he registered as an adventurer.
"Tsk tsk!"
The real veterans lurk in the corners, a sneer playing on their lips. A month later, at most a third of these new adventurers will remain.
Not to mention the dangers of the underground city.
After the three clans' expedition, they submitted a report to the guild explaining the whole story.
Coupled with the previous elevator incident, the threat posed by the evil god Dionysus has increased further.
The guild has issued a bounty: 500 million falies for the capture of Dionysus. A reward of 2 billion falies for the slaying or capture of Philvis Sharia! These are the highest bounties ever offered for gods or adventurers!
That evil god might have some other scheme in store.
Becoming an adventurer at this point has both advantages and disadvantages. You either overcome the difficulties and complete your great mission to level up, or you lose your life. Most people end up with the latter.
"Mr. Roy!" Eina, who was passing by with documents in her arms, saw Roy and her eyes lit up.
"Miss Eina, it's been a long time," Roy greeted her with a smile, having found his target so quickly.
"Mr. Roy, what brings you to the guild headquarters?" Eina's eyes held a hint of resentment.
This young man never shows up unless he has a reason, and we rarely see him. Is she the kind of woman who comes when called and goes when dismissed?
Roy nodded. "I came to see you!"
"Hey—are you looking for me?"
The resentment in Eina's eyes vanished instantly, and a blush appeared on her quiet and beautiful face. One second she was complaining that Roy didn't contact her often, but the next second she lost her composure. In her panic, she almost dropped the documents in her hands, but Roy caught them for her.
"This way, please!"
As one of the few LV.7 adventurers in Orario, Roy naturally didn't have to queue or squeeze through service windows with the newbies; he had his own private chat room.
"Mr. Roy, what brings you here?" Eina sat opposite him, feeling both nervous and expectant, as if she were on a blind date.
Seeing Eina's reaction, Roy temporarily suppressed his intention to entrust her with the task. "Miss Eina, I heard that your mother's health is not very good?"
"How do you know?" Eina asked, her face showing surprise, blinking innocently.
"You know, I have a good relationship with that 'Nine Demon Princesses (Riveria)'." Roy said without changing his expression.
"I see, it was that person who told you that." Eina suddenly realized.
Roy didn't elaborate further. Yes, yes, that's exactly what you think. He wasn't exactly lying.
Although there was no deity (a human-shaped lie detector) present, Roy was used to using suggestion to make the other person believe that they had received the correct answer.
"Yes, my mother's health has never been very good." Eina's eyes darkened.
Roy's mind flashed through the other party's information.
Aina Lindor, a collateral descendant of the Elven royal family, shares a common ancestor with Riveria and has served as Riveria's maid and playmate since childhood.
About twenty-six years ago, he followed Riveria as she escaped the Elf Forest and joined Loki's party.
Later, due to a respiratory illness, she settled in the "Free City" with better air quality, married a human male, and had two half-elf daughters, Eina Zul and Nina Zul.
Eina traveled all the way to Orario to take a job with the guild, hoping to earn money and ease the burden on her family. She sends money back home every month.
In Roy's view, this family was indeed strong. Given the relationship between Aina and Riveria, Riveria would definitely have given tens of millions of falies if they had just asked, but they never asked for help.
Even Eina, who worked in Orario for so long, never visited Riveria.
With her amazing knowledge, overflowing talent, and upright character, Roy would feel he would be doing himself a disservice if he didn't recruit such a perfect half-elf girl.
"Miss Eina, this is a miraculous medicine I obtained by chance. It might be able to help your mother's condition." Roy took out a bottle of legendary celestial elixir, a 2.0 universal version that combines antidotes.
"Could this be—"
Eina stared blankly at the bottle of elixir, suddenly recalling a rumor that the Astrea Familia possessed a special elixir that could instantly restore one's condition.
During the incident involving the Kali Familia, Roy used it on Tione at the port, instantly bringing the near-death person back to life, a sight witnessed by many.
"It's that kind of elixir, a version that others can also use that I just recently obtained," Roy said with a smile.
"No, it's too expensive!"
Eina was startled. Compared to this elixir, even the top-tier panacea of the Deankat Familia was insignificant. The guild's private estimate of its value was at least tens of millions of Fali, with no upper limit.
"This is also to thank Miss Eina for taking care of us." Roy smiled and placed the Heavenly Elixir on the table, pushing it towards her. He meant it sincerely; without the in-depth information provided by Eina, their expedition would have been much more difficult.
"As a guild advisor, this is my job—" Eina muttered to herself.
However, under Roy's meaningful gaze, Eina's voice became increasingly hesitant. She also knew that her care for the Astrea Familia had exceeded the scope of her duties as an advisor.
Roy said, "Miss Eina, you wouldn't want your mother to suffer from illness forever, would you?"
Eina found Roy's statement a bit strange: "I can buy it—"
Roy felt helpless. This girl was too stubborn. With her meager salary, she might not even be able to afford his Heavenly Elixir by the time her own mother died. This was a legendary item, on par with Riveria's staff "Great Elf" and his Elf Holy Sword.
Although the value of elixirs cannot be compared with that of equipment, they are certainly worth one or two hundred million falies.
However, Eina's insistence gave Roy the opportunity to poach her.
That's exactly what we want – you can't afford it!
Roy said, seemingly casually, "In that case, I have a way to have the best of both worlds."
Eina looked at Roy expectantly.
Actually, she was also very anxious and helpless. She was certain that the bottle of Heavenly Elixir would definitely work on her mother's condition, but she couldn't just take it for free.
"Miss Eina, how about changing jobs?" Roy said with a smile.
"Change jobs?" Eina was like a naive little lamb about to be devoured by a big bad wolf.
"What a coincidence! I happen to have a job that's perfect for you—it's tailor-made for you!"
Roy immediately transformed into an HR manager, introducing Eina to the resort job: all-inclusive, with a multi-million dollar annual salary! She'd be in charge of tens of thousands of people, with two bodyguards and 24/7 LV.4 adventurers on call!
"what!"
Listening to Roy's endless description, Eina's rosy lips parted slightly, and after a while, her little brain finally processed the information.
But without a doubt, she was smitten.
With an annual salary of tens of millions of Fali, far exceeding her current wages, even a LV.4 adventurer might not earn that much in a year. This way, she could get an advance on the elixir and then slowly pay off the debt later.
"Can I do this well?" Eina doubted herself. It was a resort worth billions of dollars, and suddenly she, a lowly employee, was asked to be the general manager.
"I trust you!"
Having said that, Roy pressed his advantage, placing his hands firmly on Eina's shoulders and meeting her gaze into her bright emerald green eyes.
The warmth of Roy's palm seeped through the thin fabric and reached Eina's delicate skin.
Eina's body trembled almost imperceptibly, as if she had been electrocuted by the touch on her shoulder, and her heart pounded in her chest like a startled fawn!
The next moment, Eina felt a surge of hot blood rush to her cheeks, her delicate face turning a captivating blush, and even her pointed ears, characteristic of elves, couldn't help but turn a lovely pink.
The boy's trust greatly encouraged her.
"Huff! Huff!"
Eina took a deep breath to calm herself and said earnestly, "I understand, Mr. Roy. Please wait a moment. I'll submit my resignation right away, and after handing over my work in the next couple of days, I'll report to the resort!"
After saying that, Eina left the room.
The determined half-elf girl acted swiftly and decisively, aiming to finish the guild's work within three days.
Roy's eyes showed appreciation; this was exactly the kind of aura he wanted. Those in power dislike indecisiveness the most.
Less than ten minutes later, a male elf, as bulky as a pig, rushed into the room, brandishing a fruit knife.
It was none other than Royman, the guild leader.
"Roy, I'll fucking kill you!!"
Royman roared, his eyes bloodshot.
A large number of newcomers want to become adventurers, and guilds are facing a shortage of manpower, wishing they could use one person as two oxen or horses. Roy is actually trying to poach people, and it's his capable assistant, Eina!
Adding to the resentment he felt after being buried under the ruins at Golden City Amusement Park the day before yesterday, Royman, filled with both old and new grudges, poured all his power into the fruit knife in his hand and stabbed Roy fiercely.
Just as the blade reached his chest, Roy made a lightning-fast move, pinching the incoming blade between two fingers.
The power of LV.7 filled Royman with despair.
"You lowly adventurer!" Royman gritted his teeth, wishing he could kill Roy with his eyes.
"Hmph!" Roy's face turned cold, and without any politeness, his right leg, like a steel whip full of power, swept with a fierce wind that tore through the air, and kicked Royman's bloated belly like a barrel with the force of thunder!
boom!
With a muffled thud, Royman's massive body couldn't withstand the terrifying force; his fat rippled violently! His feet left the ground, and he was sent flying backward at an astonishing speed!
It slammed hard against the solid wall, causing the entire wall to tremble and dust to fall in a flurry.
Royman slid down the wall like a lump of mud, collapsing to the ground, his face drained of color, leaving only a pale, distorted expression of pain and suffocation.
"hiss!"
He clutched his abdomen, which felt like it was about to explode, and the churning pain made him curl up into a ball.
The merciless kick instantly calmed Royman, who was blinded by anger.
After transforming into a demon, Royman improved in many ways except for being unable to be in the sun, but he was still no match for Roy.
Roy glanced coldly at Royman, who was curled up on the ground. If he hadn't deliberately held back his strength, he could have kicked the fat pig's body to pieces on the spot.
"Stop pretending, get up!" Roy said calmly, the demon's regenerative ability was quite astonishing.
"cut!"
Royman slowly got up, and a few seconds were enough for his body to recover.
"I can give Eina to you, but I have one condition!" Royman said.
"Eina's resignation is compliant and legal. Do you have the right to do so?" Roy glanced at the other person and knew that as a rational person in power, there must be a reason why the other person stormed in angrily.
They're just using this as an excuse to cause trouble!
"You think destroying Golden City Paradise will get you nowhere?" Royman threw out his second card.
Roy remained silent.
When Freya's Familia fought against him and destroyed the poorest Daedalus Street, the guild continuously sent them on expeditions, where they fought to the death in the dungeons.
The Astrea Familia destroyed one of Orario's most prosperous areas this time!
The direct economic loss is billions of dollars!
If we calculate the indirect economic losses, the amount is even more staggering, exceeding hundreds of billions. Besides being a casino, Golden City Amusement Park also serves as a bridge connecting powerful figures from various countries and major cities, its hidden value is immeasurable.
"I'll listen to your nonsense for now." Roy knew the other party wouldn't let this opportunity pass, allowing him to fully utilize the fighting power of the Astrea Familia.
Upon hearing this, Royman's face lit up with joy, but then an unprecedented seriousness appeared on his face.
"A dragon-like monster has appeared in the north!"
