The next day.

In the center of Orario, at the west gate of the Tower of Babel.

Ron, wearing adventurer's gear and with a blood-red sword on his waist, walked slowly towards them from a distance.

After scanning the surroundings, he came to a short girl carrying a huge backpack.

"Hey~ Good morning, Lili."

"that is not morning at all."

Lili looked at Ron expressionlessly, then raised her hand and pointed at the big sun in the sky. She had been standing here since five in the morning.

"We said we would meet in the morning before we separated yesterday, but we actually arrived at 10 o'clock."

"Lili is amazed by Ron-sama's view of time."

"Well~ Isn't this considered morning?"

"And there's a reason why I came so late."

Ron raised his hand and patted the long sword called blood-sword at his waist.

"Without this thing, our plan won't go as planned."

"Is this weapon... the second-level adventurer weapon that Master Ron planned?"

"Yes, and this sword is from Hephaestus's Familia~"

Ron pointed at the signature on the sword handle and started to deceive.

"It took me a lot of effort to get this thing."

"I see."

Even though Ron was fooling people, Lili accepted his statement.

The second-level armed forces of Hephaestus's Familia, even if they were borrowed temporarily, must not be that simple.

In this case, it is understandable that the other party arrived a little late.

After figuring this out, Lili stopped worrying about Ron's late arrival and instead reported what happened last night.

"As you requested, Lili has revealed your information to Zanis."

"Like you said, he did not agree to Lili's plan immediately. Instead, he let Lili get close to you temporarily and build a good relationship with you."

"If nothing unexpected happens, he should be using his connections to investigate your background and confirm whether what Lili said is true or false."

"It went better than expected. It seems you performed well."

Ron walked into the Tower of Babel with Lili and controlled the wind to cut off their voices.

"I think you have something to say."

"Just say whatever you want to say. I'll answer any normal questions."

"No, Lili, there's nothing I want to ask."

Looking at the man in front of her who seemed to take nothing to heart and always had a smile on his face, Lili swallowed the words on her lips silently.

Although Ron's attitude is better than those scumbags in her own Familia, that does not mean that the other party is a good person.

No matter what, the relationship between the two of them is always one of exploitation and being exploited.

Instead of worrying about whether the other party can succeed, it is better to carry out the plan according to the other party's requirements.

Just as Ron said yesterday, whether this plan succeeds or not, she will not lose anything in the end.

Lili suppressed all her emotions, not realizing that the voices of both parties had been cut off, and continued to ask in a low voice.

"Ron-sama, please issue the next phase of orders."

"Next phase of orders?"

Ron looked at the girl beside him in confusion and shook his head helplessly.

"Lili, did you make a mistake?"

"?"

"In terms of overall combat power, the Soma familia, which only has two LV2 adventurers, is just a small familia. It's not worth wasting my energy on it."

"The bait we have spread is enough. We just need to wait and see. The other party will take the bait naturally. There is no need to think of any plans."

"If there is any order..."

Ron paused for a moment and looked at the big bag behind Lili.

"Then please act as a supporter and help me pick up the things as usual."

As the saying goes, grasshoppers are also meat.

Even though he had already created a sample of the new magic sword when he went to Tsubaki to borrow the sword this morning, that did not mean that he would give up the gains from the dungeon.

With Lili, a professional supporter, helping to pick up things, he could save a lot of time.

...

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

In addition to the initial sample magic sword given to Tsubaki for experiment and reference, Ron also made three new magic swords and gave them to the other party within this week.

After finishing the first month's auction items and handing over the tasks of spreading the news and preparing for the auction to Tsubaki, Ron focused all his energy on exploring the dungeon.

Although everything was going as he expected, Ron had not forgotten his real purpose.

Making money is just a means to buy panaceas and open up channels to obtain more information.

His real purpose from the very beginning was to find a way to resolve the curse on his body.

In addition to purchasing panacea to alleviate the curse, the best way to achieve this goal is to improve your own strength.

As long as he is strong enough to ignore any disease, the curse will naturally have no effect.

And at the same time he was rapidly accelerating his exploration of the floors at the rate of one floor per day.

The Soma familia also began to become more active due to the instructions of their leader Zanis.

"How's the situation over there?"

Putting down the information he had collected, Zanis looked at the orc Canoe in front of him.

"According to your request, Captain, Arde has been hanging out with that kid every day recently."

The orc Canoe replied: "As for the floor where they are operating, if nothing unexpected happens, it should be the sixth or seventh floor."

"Um?"

Zanis frowned slightly and sounded somewhat dissatisfied.

"What do you mean by that speculative tone?"

"Can't you even do something as simple as tracking a new adventurer?"

"Captain, this is really not our fault."

"Every time I lead people to track to the sixth floor, I always encounter some war shadows or killer ants for unknown reasons."

"You should also know what these two monsters mean in the upper level of the dungeon."

"Even if we can solve it completely, it will take a little time."

"By the time we got rid of these monsters, Arde and that kid had already run away to who knows where."

Speaking of this, Canoe, who has had incredibly bad luck these days, looked a little helpless.

"But you can rest assured. Our people are watching every exit of the Tower of Babel every day to make sure that kid comes out that day."

"And when he went to the guild to exchange money, I also sent people to pay attention to his dropped items. They were all sixth- and seventh-tier items."

"Okay, I got it."

After Zanis waved his hand to signal the other party to leave, a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

Just as Lili guessed, he had been using his connections to investigate Ron's intelligence this week.

Judging from the current situation, there is basically no problem with the information Lili told him.

The only problem was the source of the second-level adventurer's weapon, which he learned by chance.

It was the other party's main god, the goddess named Hestia, who was worried about his safety and asked the goddess Hephaestus for help.

but...

"After goddess Hephaestus help her that day , she drove the Hestia Familia out of their base camp that day?"

Looking at the latest collected information on the desktop, Zanis's face showed a confident expression that destiny is in his hands.

"In that case, as long as I can get the weapon through legitimate channels, even the Hephaestus Familia won't say anything."

As for what formal channels mean, there is naturally no need to explain more.

When a conflict of interest arises between two familias, there is always only one formal solution.

"Let's talk to that useless Lord God."

Standing up from the chair, Zanis walked slowly towards the winery deep in the mansion.

"After all, this is a war game. Without the Lord God's approval, even I can't initiate it without authorization."
