"What?!"

Hestia's eyes widened in surprise.

"What, what's wrong?"

Bell was startled by Hestia's loud voice.

In the basement at night, the two of them were updating their abilities after dinner.

Well, although I knew this was a "growth" skill, I didn't expect it to be so strong...

Hestia once again confirmed the sacred text behind Bell.

Except for magic power, all attributes are C!

Hestia couldn't stand it any longer.

If I remember correctly, when I updated Bell's abilities last night, his highest level seemed to be "g"?

a,b,c,d,e,f,g……

In just one night, three levels have been crossed?!

No matter how you put it, this is too outrageous,

If it continues to develop further, the ability value will probably reach its peak in a few days, and may even exceed "s".

At that time, Bell had already reached the level 2 threshold.

If I encounter some opportunities again, I'm afraid I will just jump over them.

If all adventurers grew at the same rate as Bell, more than half of them would have reached level 2 already.

People who are level 2 - the core level of adventurers, are almost all members of large-scale families.

The rest, more than half of the adventurers, are still stuck at level 1 and unable to climb up.

However, Bell surpassed these people who had been an adventurer several times longer than him, and grew and developed with fierce momentum.

No, this is no longer growth, but a leap.

"Bell, I want to ask you something next, and you must answer me truthfully."

Facing God Hestia's serious little face, Bell couldn't help but feel his heart tighten.

"Yes Yes!"

"Which floor did you go to today?"

"Tenth, twelfth floor..."

"What?!"

Hestia's screams filled the room, and even her twin ponytails were raised.

The twelfth floor is a place that only level 2 adventurers can conquer!

A level 1 rookie would risk his life if he went there!

Unlike the simple upper layer,

After the dungeon reaches the middle level,

Even a monster can kill a newcomer.

So Bell will inevitably be taught a lesson next.

Facing the loli god Hestia, whose anger was clearly visible on her face, Bell had no choice but to endure it silently.

He knew that Hestia was also doing it for his own good, so he was angry.

Bell hunched his shoulders, like a child who had done something wrong and was being taught a lesson.

Seeing him like this, Hestia couldn't help but feel pity, and most of the anger in her heart dissipated.

"Bell, you remember you promised me that you would be safe and not leave me alone."

"But God, I didn't run to the twelfth floor alone?"

Bell told him about going to the dungeon with Lu Ye.

Road leaves?

Hestia heard something.

I had already heard Bell tell me about being rescued in the underground city once before. Although I was very grateful to him, I only thought about going to thank him one day and didn't pay much attention to it. Until this morning, the gods

The banquet was held, and everyone discussed the newcomers who had recently emerged in Orario.

It is said that he defeated the lv5 adventurer "Gray Wolf" Burt of the Loki Familia and Phryni of the Ishtar Familia within two days.

This is just caused by a lv1 newcomer, who doesn't even have "favor".

This is simply unbelievable.

And this person's name is Lu Ye.

Although some gods raised suspicions, no one remembered that there was such a famous figure in their own family.

It can be said that this morning's banquet was almost all centered around "Lu Ye", and the discussion was lively.

There are many gods who want to take him under their command,

There are endless ways to do it.

Including but not limited to stalking, following, drugging, kidnapping, seduction, etc...

Although Hestia is not as intensely curious about Luye as other gods, she does not harbor any ill intentions.

After all, he saved the only child in his family.

Thinking of this, her eyes focused on the back of Bell who was sitting.

Children in the lower world have many possibilities,

It is this that deeply attracts the gods.

They cannot see through the fate of the children in the lower world, nor do they know which path their growth will take.

This sense of uncertainty and expectation is like opening a blind box for them, and they can never guess what is inside before opening it.

"Fairy...I, really want to become stronger."

Bell expressed his inner wish in a small voice.

After being rescued by Lu Ye and seeing Lu Ye's strength with his own eyes, Bell's heart was filled with "longing".

【Hero's Vision】

【The deeper the longing, the more powerful the effect.】

【Stay next to the person you admire, and the effect will be doubled.】

This is the first skill Bell possesses in his life.

And it is an extremely rare growth skill.

There is no means of attack or defense, the only effect is to promote the growth of the user.

Of course Hestia could guess its origin,

Skills are sublimated from valuable [experience points].

For Bell, the only experience that can be considered valuable is the experience of being saved by that Luye, right?

The longing for a "hero" gave Bell a desire to grow.

But Hestia didn't tell her about this skill right away.

Temporary self-confidence and temporary strength will lead to arrogance.

Hestia knew it very well.

This is not just a human being, but a common temperament among children.

Arrogance breeds carelessness, and carelessness calls for death.

She believed that Bell was not that arrogant and complacent; but on the other hand, Hestia, who doted on the boy too much, also knew very well that everything was possible and she did not want to lose Bell.

Trust and worry, when these two emotions are placed on the scale, she can't help but prefer the latter.

However, if you don't repay the truth, you have deceived Bell.

Especially after Bell personally said that he wanted to become stronger.

There was a moment of silence in Hestia's heart.

...You want to become stronger, right?

In the end, Hestia chose trust.

She wanted to help him.

"Bell, the kid named Lu Ye you mentioned... saved your life, right?"
