After conveying the intention to cooperate, Finn quickly took action. Perhaps because he was highly trusted by everyone in the Familia, no one questioned Finn's order, which was akin to a scorched-earth policy.
"Originally, we couldn't carry so many materials, so we never collected these relatively low-value or bulky materials. The time should be about right, let's go to the warehouse together to take a look."
Finn explained to Takatsuki. Yesterday, at the very end, Takatsuki contacted Fu Hua again through [Close at Hand Yet Worlds Apart]. Fu Hua, Hestia, and Bronya rushed to the Loki Familia overnight, waking Loki, who was sleeping soundly.
Loki was originally furious with Hestia, but after the two sides established contact, seeing the special spatial magic and Finn on the other side, Loki's usually squinted eyes opened a little.
And she very decisively agreed to the trade that Finn had proposed on his own initiative, and agreed to prepare an empty warehouse by noon the next day to "receive goods" to cover it up.
At noon the next day, when Takatsuki opened the passage in the temporary warehouse of the Dungeon, he saw the four people who had already prepared on the other side.
Only Loki was present from the Loki Familia. Although there were other people in the Familia, they were mostly peripheral members and naturally could not know about such confidential matters.
However, there were more people on the Dungeon side. Everyone who had been below the 59th floor was here, after all, a large amount of materials still needed to be transported by people, so to put it simply, They were here to do manual labor!
"No matter how many times I see it, it's truly astonishing. The little dwarf's luck is good, to be able to find such a rare child. But it's a pity, if this passage could be a bit larger, we could freely enter and exit the Dungeon. At that time, it would definitely bring huge changes to Orario."
Seeing her Familia's core members standing packed on the other side, Loki said jokingly. Before Hestia could get angry, Loki said, "Don't waste time, Bete! Hand over the materials quickly."
"Tch, I know, don't order me!"
With an annoyed tone, Bete picked up a football-sized ore from the ground and shoved it through to the other end of the passage.
On the other side, Fu Hua also picked up the stone acting as a beacon and took it to the corner, so that once the materials came through the passage, they could directly reach their designated location.
Therefore, the work to be done here at the Loki Familia was much easier than in the Dungeon.
And on both sides, Bronya and Lefiya were simultaneously making records, in order to calculate the material distribution later. It was expected to be another fierce debate, but Takatsuki was too lazy to bother with such matters. He had fully entrusted this task to Bronya, and he himself merely acted as a tool to open the passage.
Because the passage was too small, although many people were helping with the transportation, the maximum volume of items that could be sent through each time was limited, resulting in the time already approaching evening by the time all the items were sent through.
Takatsuki was also very tired. Maintaining the passage and consuming Nen was also a very tiring thing.
"Ais-tan! We haven't seen each other for so long, let me touch... Pfft ah!"
As Ais sent the last material, Loki suddenly appeared, and then was punched in the face by Ais.
Hestia, watching from the side, felt greatly satisfied: "Serves you right! Takatsuki, since it's over, you should rest early too. Maintaining the magic for so long must be very tiring."
Without correcting the mistaken perception of magic, Takatsuki nodded and shut down his ability. He indeed needed to rest. Fortunately, returning to the surface now no longer required him to take action; he could just follow the large group.
On the other side, in the warehouse of Twilight Manor, also the Loki Familia's base camp, Loki looked at the materials almost filling the warehouse and exclaimed, "I never thought I would have a day working with you, little dwarf."
"Hmph! If it wasn't for your Familia begging our child, I wouldn't have agreed."
"What did you say! It's just a bit of good luck."
"Then if you're capable, be lucky too! You just came down a bit earlier than me, that's all!"
Fu Hua and Bronya just watched expressionlessly as the two began to bicker and argue.
Although the two looked like children arguing, the age of the two, oh no, the two Gods, was beyond their imagination.
"But little dwarf, you need to be careful."
As the two were competing, Loki suddenly relaxed her grip, causing Hestia to stumble, and then said to Hestia seriously.
??
Looking at the puzzled Hestia, Loki continued, "Even I, oh no, even the people of the lower world can see the extraordinary nature of your children. Other Gods must also be able to see it, especially that one."
Loki looked in the direction of Babel Tower: "Now that our divine power is sealed, that fellow has the only cheat tool, you know."
Hestia's expression also became serious: "I won't let my children be snatched away by that dissolute fellow."
"I hope so. I also don't want that fellow to become stronger. Otherwise, she will truly be Orario's strongest Familia."
Perhaps having her own plans, Loki did not say more, while Hestia, Fu Hua, and Bronya returned together.
"Lady Hestia, who were you talking about earlier?"
Bronya directly raised her question on the way.
"What Loki just said refers to the existence residing at the top of Babel Tower. Because she is too much of a cheat, she was 'sealed' on Babel Tower by the Gods, a Goddess forbidden to descend the tower at will, the Goddess of Beauty, Freya."
Hestia did not hide anything about the Goddess of Beauty. After Bronya asked, she proactively told a lot.
Actually, she didn't need to say anything. Both Fu Hua and Bronya knew the two strongest Familias in Orario right now: the Loki Familia and the Freya Familia.
"The Goddess of Beauty possesses a natural charm ability. Any child who sees her will be enchanted and devoted to her, which is why she is forbidden by the Gods to leave Babel Tower. And not only that, she also has eyes that can see through essence."
"See through essence?"
Hestia nodded: "She calls it seeing the light of the soul. In fact, we Gods can all do it, but that's on the premise of having divine power. But she is different; even without activating divine power, she can see the light of the soul through those eyes and choose children with potential."
"Then, through her charm ability, she... takes them into her possession."
