Chapter 18: Looting before leaving
(Wish all book friends a happy New Year's Eve!)
"Can... Can we invite Daphne to join us?" Feeling the cold gazes coming from all around, Cassandra trembled and weakly poked her head out and asked softly to Reed.
"Ah! What did you take our family's invitation as?" Bert's voice suddenly became long.
"Okay, Bert, don't scare her. There's no problem in inviting one more person. The first request of a newcomer should be met. But now that you have made a choice, you must bear the corresponding consequences. From now on, the resources allocated to you by your followers will be halved every month and distributed to Daphne. Is there any problem with this?" Reed asked directly.
"What resources?" Daphne stopped Cassandra from answering immediately and asked back.
"Upgrade resources." Li De answered briefly.
"I agree." Cassandra was not too greedy. To her, unknown resources were not as important as friends.
"Then welcome to join us, two newcomers. Let's go directly to your family's residence to pack up your personal belongings and find Apollo to convert. Loki should be waiting there." After Li De finished speaking, he turned and walked in another direction.
When Li De and his men arrived at the base, Loki was already waiting there with an impatient look on his face.
After having the Amazon sisters help the two men pack their belongings, Loki immediately pulled Apollo over and completed the conversion of the two.
After fulfilling his previous promise, Li De began his final sprint before leaving.
Every day's plan is fully arranged. In the eyes of others, Li De is working hard for Lv4. Only Li De himself knows that the day of leaving is approaching. He is just trying to improve his ability values as much as possible before leaving, that's all.
The fulfilling days passed quickly, and half a month was gone in the blink of an eye.
After a dwarf brought Li De a piece of information, Li De stopped his advanced training. After returning to his room and changing his clothes, Li De stood in front of the window and stared into the distance in a daze. After a while, he retracted his gaze and then walked out the door.
"Reed, it's already afternoon, are you still going out?" When passing the gate, Bert, who was sleeping on the sofa in the hall, suddenly opened his eyes and asked Reed who was passing by.
"Yes, Bert, but we're not going to the dungeon. It's a rare day off, and I suddenly remembered that there is something I need to reserve in advance from Guberniu's family." Li De said with a faint smile.
"Want me to join you?" Bert asked suddenly.
"It's okay. I've been troubled to ask you to accompany me to the dungeon recently. It's a rare day off, so you should have a good rest. I'll go shopping and have dinner and be back soon." Shaking his head, Li De disagreed.
"Tsk, it's rare for me to be kind, and you don't appreciate it? Go away!" After Bert said that, he lay down again.
"I know you mean well, but there's really nothing to do. I feel bad for wasting your time on my day off." Li De laughed and left the family residence.
Walking out of the base and watching the setting sun in the sky, Li De leisurely went to the "Hostes of Abundance", ordered a few dishes and had a delicious meal, then slowly headed towards the Southeast Street of Orario after sunset.
In the labyrinth city of Orario, the place that most men yearn for is none other than District 4.
This is the headquarters of Ishtar's Familia, and Orario's famous Happy Street is located here.
Seeing that he was about to leave Orario and travel to the next mission world, how could Li De, who had basically nothing after the journey, not take some more things with him before leaving?
A small part of the money he earned from Loki's followers was spent by Li De, and the other part was exchanged by Li De for medicines over time.
God knows what kind of crisis the future mission will face, and Li De can't help but prepare for it, and the medicine in the underground world is a very good supply. Of course, the money has been exchanged for medicine and stored in the portable space, so if he wants to take something valuable away, Li De can only think of other ways.
There is no doubt that Reed came to Happy Street for only one purpose, and that was that he had set his eyes on the room of the goddess Ista.
There is only one reason why Reed targeted Ista. That is because Reed knew that Ista would be slapped back to heaven by Freya tonight.
Naturally, the wealth she left behind became ownerless.
As the saying goes, if you don't take what God gives you, you will suffer the consequences. How could Li De miss this opportunity?
Having done decoration work for Ista's family and even been a lover of hers, Li De knew very well what was in Ista's room.
Although Ishtar could not compete with Freya, another goddess of beauty, there were still countless gods and men who bowed down to her loincloth.
In order to have a night of pleasure, these men gave Ishtar countless gifts.
Even though most of them were not kept by Ishtar, all those that were kept are priceless masterpieces.
Li De didn't want to leave these things to others. Even if Li De took them away, no one would be held accountable in the end. It would be strange if Li De let go of such a good opportunity.
After arriving at the fourth area, Li De found the entrance to the sewer in his memory, then went directly into it, and then headed towards the high tower of Istar’s headquarters.
After reaching the bottom of the tower in his memory, Li De slowly went up along a secret passage that he accidentally discovered during the decoration, and then came to a room.
The owner of the room was not there at the moment, and this was understandable, after all, the members of Ishtar's family were very busy tonight.
Staying in the room, Li De did not go out, but looked out the window and waited.
It was not until a fire started in the distance and the noise was getting closer that Li De finally started to act.
According to the location in his memory, after five teleportations, Li De entered a huge room with extremely magnificent decoration and filled with decadent atmosphere.
Without any intention of visiting the goddess' bedroom, Li De went straight to the dressing table, opened the drawer of the dressing table, and began to put all the valuable jewels inside into the storage space.
After cleaning the dressing table, Li De walked to the other corner of the room, to a small bookcase.
After searching for a while, Reed actually found a magic book and several books written in divine language that recorded the forging and making of potions, but this was the last thing Reed gained in Istar's room.
Calling up the system's task page, the three tasks had been refreshed when Li De completed the first task.
All you have to do next is confirm the next mission to be performed, and then be sent away from this world.
