Chapter 231 - Chapter 148: Hidden Quest and New Functions

"Takatsuki, how do you feel? Try using some magic."

Hearing Miach's words, Takatsuki reached out and projected a weapon.

"I feel completely recovered. Thank you, Miach."

"Don't thank me. Thanks to you, Miach Familia was able to get out of debt."

Miach smiled, then picked up the bowl in his hand. "There's still some health-boosting potion here. Drink it and rest for another day, and you'll be fully recovered."

Takatsuki nodded and drank it all in one gulp.

Two days had passed since he woke up. Thanks to Miach's help, he was able to recover so quickly.

"Speaking of which, where is Hestia? And did everyone else go on the expedition?"

Takatsuki remembered that ever since he woke up, only Haruhime and a few members of Miach Familia had been taking care of him. Hestia had only appeared on the first day and then vanished.

"As for Hestia, she went to handle something important. As for the others, I'll tell you when Hestia returns."

"What you need to do now is get some good rest."

Miach's words made Takatsuki feel a little uneasy, but he didn't press. Since the deity didn't intend to speak, he couldn't force him to.

However…

After Miach left, Takatsuki looked at Haruhime, who was beside him.

"Haruhime, where did Hestia go?"

Haruhime was tidying up the used dishes. Hearing Takatsuki's words, she looked up. "I'm not too sure either. Hestia just said she would be gone for two or three days."

"Is that so? What about the others?"

Haruhime looked puzzled at Takatsuki's words. "The others?"

"I mean Mei and the others. Did they go on an expedition? And why didn't you go to the Dungeon with Bell and them?"

Haruhime looked puzzled at Takatsuki's words.

"Are you talking about Freya Familia's Little Rookie and Thunderclap? How could a small Familia like ours go on an adventure in the Dungeon with them? But Takatsuki, how do you know them?"

Freya Familia…

Takatsuki was stunned when he heard Haruhime's words.

Takatsuki was inherently a calm person. Instead of acting impulsively, he was better at thinking. Although he wasn't particularly intelligent, this behavior allowed him to avoid many mistakes.

Coupled with the realm of Taixuan Sword Heart, he quickly calmed down.

"Takatsuki, you can't move yet."

Takatsuki quickly figured out what was going on, and at the moment, the only person who might know the truth was nearby.

Ignoring Haruhime's obstruction, Takatsuki walked over to Miach, who was grinding medicine in the living room.

Miach looked up at Takatsuki. "Takatsuki, why are you up?"

"Miach, why did Mei and the others go to Freya Familia? And in Haruhime's memory, they were Freya Familia members from the beginning?"

At this moment, Haruhime chased after him. "Takatsuki, did you forget? The Hestia Familia has always only been the two of us."

Ignoring Haruhime's words, Takatsuki looked at Miach. "Deities aren't supposed to use Divine Power, are they? How did she manage to tamper with someone else's memory?"

Miach looked at Takatsuki's gaze and knew that he couldn't put it off any longer. Takatsuki's situation clearly indicated that he wouldn't give up until he got an answer.

"Sigh, I originally planned to wait for Hestia to return and let her explain it to you. Since you already know, I won't hide it anymore."

Next, Miach briefly described the situation that day.

"That's how it was. Although Bell and Fu Hua were immune to the charm effect, in order to protect the other three, they voluntarily accepted Freya's conditions, just to buy time until you woke up."

"Then I'll go bring them back now!"

"Takatsuki!"

Miach suddenly shouted.

"I won't stop you, but you need to think clearly. Can you really defeat the members of Freya Familia now? Even with Fu Hua helping you."

"But…"

Miach shook his head. "Don't worry. As a deity, since Freya said she wouldn't make a move first, she will keep waiting until you appear. As deities, we have ample patience."

"Or do you not believe Fu Hua? Five days have passed since you fell unconscious."

Miach's meaning was very clear. He opened his eyes and looked at Takatsuki. "I won't stop you. Of course, if you think you can do it now, then go. But remember, when you leave this door, it means your war with Freya Familia has begun. Are you truly ready?"

"…"

Taking a deep breath, Takatsuki bowed deeply to Miach. "Miach! Please! By tomorrow morning, whether I'm fully recovered or not, I will go to Freya Familia to seek justice!"

Miach looked at Takatsuki for a moment. "Tomorrow morning, right? All right, leave it to me. I'll make sure you're fully recovered by tomorrow morning!"

"Hestia guessed you would be like this, so she already updated your abilities while you were unconscious. Congratulations, Takatsuki, you are now LV6 and have reached the city's first-class adventurer."

Miach told Takatsuki this news before Takatsuki left.

It was already noon, and there was still more than half a day until tomorrow morning. This more than half-day was not only for Miach but also for Takatsuki himself.

He wanted to use this half-day to maximize his own strength through the system.

Takatsuki looked at the system display and found the previous records.

[Completed Hidden Quest Line: Dungeon Collapse Incident]

[Prematurely Discovered the True Identity and Conspiracy of Dungeon Destroyer Enyo: Uncompleted]

[Destroyed Spirit's Six-Fold Magic Circle: Completed. Reward: Quest Target Tracking]

[Killed Nidhogg: Completed. Reward: Character Support System]

[Captured or Returned Dungeon Destroyer Enyo: Uncompleted]

[Reached LV6: Reward: 3200 Crystals]

With the completion of this quest, it replenished the 3000 crystals Takatsuki spent on upgrading skills, bringing his crystal reserves to 5500.

Takatsuki opened the system and checked the two previously unlocked systems.

One was the Quest Target Tracking System. As the name suggests, this system was like a quest navigation in a game. After setting a target, it would show Takatsuki a direction, telling him where to go and how to get there.

This target didn't have to be a system-issued quest; any target would do. For example, if Takatsuki set himself to find Fu Hua's location, it would activate navigation.

However, the downside was that this function had a thirty-day cooldown, so Takatsuki naturally couldn't waste it here.

The other Character Support System was even more straightforward.

Takatsuki felt it should be called Character Rental, because it relied on investing crystals to obtain temporary character support for 30 minutes. During those thirty minutes, Takatsuki would gain the character's full power, unlike the character card attachment, which was the entire power from inside out.

However, the price was very expensive: SS-rank required 1000, SSS-rank required 5000, and there were no lower ranks.

But the advantage was that although this system couldn't let him choose the character himself, he could choose a general direction, such as attack type, mage, swordsman, and so on.
