【Rig Brielout】
Affiliation: Loki's Family
Race: Human
Age: 17
Occupation: Adventurer
Reached Floor: 51st Floor
Confirmed Achievements: He is an adventurer who accompanied the family on a deep expedition, participating in numerous floor boss battles. After a month and a half, he officially upgraded to Level 5.
When this announcement was posted on the bulletin board in the first-floor hall of the guild headquarters, everyone who saw it widened their eyes.
They gathered in front of the bulletin board, repeatedly confirming the message, and some even went to the counter to ask the guild staff.
The result, of course, was only one.
The news was accurate.
Thus, the guild exploded.
"Is this a joke?"
"He reached Level 5 in just a month and a half?"
"Has that [Trickster Swordsman] already become a Level 1 adventurer?"
"He, he was just an ordinary person who had just received a blessing three months ago!"
Some people were noisy.
Some people were loud.
Some people didn't believe it.
Some people were jealous.
Rig's promotion to Level 5 and becoming a Level 1 adventurer caused a much greater sensation than any previous promotion.
It couldn't be helped; the nature of this promotion was completely different from the previous ones.
Before, whether it was reaching Level 2, Level 3, or even Level 4, although it was shocking and impressive, Rig was essentially just becoming a Level 2 or Level 3 adventurer.
There were still quite a few Level 2 and Level 3 adventurers in Orario.
So, even if Rig had risen to these levels at a shocking and enviable speed, he was still just one of the many upper-level adventurers.
In the eyes of many, such a Rig was certainly worth paying attention to, but what if he reached Level 4?
There were many adventurers at this level, and it wasn't enough to make people think that Rig had surpassed them and posed a threat to them and their families.
Therefore, the gods might be interested in this rapidly rising newcomer and talk about his achievements, and adventurers would also discuss Rig's story, but the appearance of a Level 4 adventurer was, for many, just a harmless matter.
In Orario, someone would reach Level 4 every so often, and this wasn't unusual.
Rig was just one of them, and at most, he had risen to this level much faster, and was considered very talented and promising.
But this time was different.
"This is Level 5!"
"Among the top adventurers in Orario, only a few famous families can cultivate such high-level combatants, and he achieved it in just a month and a half?"
"What a joke!"
Becoming a Level 1 adventurer at Level 5 was completely different from becoming an adventurer at other levels.
Such an existence was not only one of the top adventurers in Orario but also, even among the famous and powerful families, they were at the level of a family leader.
For example, in the Hephaestus Family, which was more famous than the Loki Family and the Freya Family, the leader of this family, known as the "Cyclops Master," was a Level 1 adventurer at Level 5.
The leaders of the other famous and powerful families in Orario, which were only slightly less renowned and powerful than the Loki Family and the Freya Family, were also all Level 1 adventurers at Level 5.
It could be said that the reason these families in Orario were considered major families was precisely because they had Level 1 adventurers at Level 5.
As for Level 6, in Orario, apart from the Loki Family and the Freya Family, no third family had adventurers at this level.
This was also why the Loki Family and the Freya Family were considered the twin kings of Orario and the strongest families in Orario.
Because only these two families had Level 6 adventurers, they were the strongest in Orario.
Excluding these two families, the highest combat power of all the top families in Orario was Level 5.
Now, Rig had become this level in just a month and a half, and he was still just an ordinary person who had not received a blessing three months ago. The sensation this caused was incomparable to the past.
Thanks to this, the news of Rig's promotion spread very quickly to the leaders and gods of various families.
Then, these family leaders and gods also exploded.
"Lord Freya."
In the suite on the top floor of the Tower of Babel, the pigman Ota visited again, reporting this matter to the goddess of beauty standing in front of the large window.
"Rig Brielout has reached Level 5."
Upon hearing this, Freya, who was swaying a glass of red wine and wearing a robe, stopped her movements.
"Has he become a Level 1 adventurer?"
Freya asked softly.
"Yes," Ota said solemnly. "The god Loki seems to have reported this matter to the guild early in the morning, and after confirmation by the guild, the news has been announced."
"Loki," Freya swayed the wine glass again and chuckled. "She seems eager to show off in front of us."
"Aaron already knows about this matter," Ota continued, seemingly ignoring Freya's teasing. "He is in a bad mood and is currently raging in the Battle Wilderness."
"Let him be," Freya shook her head with a smile. "That child is naturally vengeful. Last time, he was injured because of my order to do something he hated. It's normal for him to be upset that the person who made him suffer has now reached Level 5."
"What should we do about Rig Brielout?" Ota asked, lowering his head. "The Loki Family has gained a high-level combatant, which is not a good thing for us."
After all, the Freya Family and the Loki Family were competitors, and the sudden addition of a Level 1 combatant to the competition was not beneficial to the Freya Family.
Freya, of course, was not indifferent to this matter. She tapped her chin with her slender, white fingers and then turned to Ota.
"What do you think?" Freya asked Ota. "About Rig Brielout."
The pigman Ota almost didn't hesitate before answering.
"If Lord Freya considers him a threat, I am willing to take action."
In other words, as long as Freya gave the order, Ota was not averse to eliminating this threat.
"That won't do," Freya sighed with a smile. "From Loki's behavior, it's clear that this man is her treasure. If we move against him, our two families might really go to war."
Such a thing, not to mention that both sides would deliberately avoid it, the guild, as the city's manager, would not allow it to happen.
In principle, the guild strictly prohibits the major families in Orario from going to war.
Because the major families play a significant role in Orario.
Commercial families, such as the Hephaestus Family, which is a famous forging brand, have promoted economic development in Orario through their business alone, and the same goes for other large and small families.
Exploration families are even more important. Whether it's fighting monsters to prevent them from breaking through to the surface or bringing back resources like magic stones from the dungeon, the guild needs the strength of these families.
Especially the Loki Family and the Freya Family, as the twin kings of Orario and the strongest combat power, they are the main force in exploring the dungeon and protecting the city.
Therefore, the guild, as the city's manager, would definitely not stand by and watch these two major families conflict.
"The war cannot happen," Freya looked at Ota, her expression unchanged. "And I'm not asking you from the perspective of the family, but for your personal opinion."
Ota raised his head. "Personal opinion?"
"Exactly," Freya smiled. "Without considering my thoughts, what do you think of Rig Brielout?"
Ota fell silent upon hearing this.
Freya was not in a hurry, just smiling at Ota.
After a while, Ota spoke.
"I am looking forward to it."
Ota said this.
His face remained firm and calm, but his eyes showed a new determination that was not there before.
"If he can continue to grow, perhaps one day, he can replace Fen and become my opponent."
This evaluation was very high, and anyone who heard Ota's words would understand.
There was no way.
"Can you make such an evaluation of the only Level 7 in Orario?"
Freya's smile grew even wider.
"He deserves it."
The man regarded as the ultimate weapon of the city spoke thus.
"Then let's leave him alone for now." Freya took a sip of red wine and smiled. "I also want to see if he can catch up to you."
Freya was very curious about Rig.
Such a unique soul, Freya had never seen before in her life.
Freya was very curious about what lay deep within Rig's soul.
This curiosity and desire to explore made Freya feel both fresh and amazed.
In the past, with her Insight Eyes, Freya continuously gathered souls with extraordinary brilliance and was infatuated with heroes who possessed such souls.
Such a feeling, not infatuation, not admiration, but pure curiosity and an unbearable itch to explore, was something Freya had never encountered before.
Her attitude towards Rig was currently in a stage of exploration and observation.
"Recently, a very beautiful and pure child has come to Orario."
Her thoughts shifted, and Freya's curiosity was replaced by a dreamy look.
"Someone who cannot be glimpsed, with all brilliance concealed."
"Someone so transparent, all colors can be seen at a glance."
"The lower world is becoming more and more interesting."
In the top floor of the Tower of Babel, the goddess's light laughter echoed.
The pigman Ota looked at the goddess and lowered his eyes.
