Dungeon Eighteenth Floor, forest outskirts.
After seeing Lynn off, Hedin looked thoughtfully at Ottar.
"I didn't expect you to agree. Did you see something in him?"
Ottar nodded: "He is very confident."
Hedin: "?"
What the hell is confidence?
Hedin frowned, a little puzzled.
Normally, shouldn't the reply be about seeing unknown possibilities or something?
"His expression is very confident."
Perhaps sensing Hedin's confusion, Ottar's voice sounded again.
"He thinks that after breaking through to LV3, adventurers below First Class will become useless."
"Only fighting First Class Adventurers will have a training effect on him."
"I see."
Hedin understood this time.
If Ottar's guess was correct, then Lynn was indeed very confident.
However, ...
Recalling the scene of Lynn, at LV1, overpowering Ryuu.
And just now, after Lynn said goodbye, he led Aiz and the others to the Nineteenth Floor.
"That's not just pure confidence."
Hedin pushed up his glasses:
"If he can maintain that unreasonable strength, he indeed has the qualifications to fight LV5 at LV3."
"Perhaps."
Ottar replied with a calm expression.
Although he agreed to Lynn's request, he didn't take it too seriously.
Lynn was still LV1 when he participated in the War Game a few days ago, and now he had probably just broken through to LV2 at most.
Compared to speculating when Lynn would break through to LV3, there were more important things to do now.
Ottar looked into the depths of the forest: "Do you think what he just said is true?"
Hedin: "True or not, we'll know by investigating according to the clues he gave."
The Daedalus Labyrinth, which overlapped with the Dungeon and was embedded in its edge.
If this was true, then his subsequent investigation would have to be more cautious.
...
On the other side.
After leaving the forest, Aiz looked at the side, wanting to speak but hesitating.
Just now, before Lynn exchanged information with Ottar, he had asked them to leave first.
Because of this, Aiz still didn't know what information Lynn was referring to.
After a brief thought, Aiz walked up to Lynn: "Are you selling the news about the Remnants of the Evilus?"
Lynn shook his head: "Not for now."
Aiz was stunned: "Why?"
According to Lynn's character, shouldn't everything be negotiable with money?
Tione also walked over: "If you need a sparring partner, I can discuss it with the Captain and the others, he should agree."
Compared to the Freya Familia, Finn valued reputation more.
If they could find the Remnants of the Evilus and clear out all these hiding rats, Finn would definitely agree to Lynn's conditions.
Not to mention a month of sparring, even two or three months, he would agree.
However, facing Tione's statement, Lynn still shook his head:
"If you want information, let Finn come to me himself. I only shared the information with Ottar because he was there."
In fact, when he heard about the Remnants of the Evilus from Hedin, he had already decided to share the information about the Daedalus Labyrinth with them.
Under normal circumstances, Hedin would not have known about the Remnants of the Evilus on the Eighteenth Floor.
The reason he appeared here was most likely because he frequently asked Ryuu for help, which made Freya, who also worked at The Hostess of Fertility, notice something was wrong and sent people to investigate.
Although he didn't know how far the Freya Familia's investigation had progressed, appropriately sharing some news would not only not speed up their investigation but would actually slow it down.
As for how much it would slow down, he would know after visiting the Freya Familia later.
All sorts of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Lynn looked to the side: "Your breathing is messy."
"Yes!" Aiz subconsciously responded, readjusting her breathing rhythm.
Tione also finished her thoughts:
"Lynn, can we set a time when we return to the surface?"
Lynn nodded: "I'll rest for a few days after this expedition, I'll be free anytime."
"I understand."
Keeping Lynn's words in mind, Tione looked ahead at the huge tree with an unusually thick trunk. That was the passage from the Eighteenth Floor to the Nineteenth Floor.
Because the passage was two-way, several Sniper Dragonflies flew out from the entrance of the passage at this moment.
As new monsters appearing on the Nineteenth Floor, Sniper Dragonflies not only had a long attack range but also possessed a certain toxicity in their attacks, causing many adventurers who encountered them for the first time to accidentally get hit.
However, just as Tione was about to introduce information to Lynn and remind him to be careful, she heard two whooshing sounds.
Lynn, who had just been standing by, now appeared in front of the Sniper Dragonflies, clearing them all out in the blink of an eye.
Watching this scene, Tiona curiously looked at Lynn's katana:
"I've been meaning to ask, Lynn, is that a custom weapon you're holding?"
Lynn casually swung Raikiri, striking a cool pose: "One billion Valis."
"One billion Valis?!"
Lefiya was greatly shocked.
Not just her, even Aiz and Tione subconsciously took another look at Raikiri.
One billion, that was not a small number.
Even the weapons they customized at the Goibniu Familia weren't that expensive.
Tiona sighed with some emotion, "I was wondering why you were constantly making money; it turns out you're in debt."
However, he wasn't.
Glancing at the misunderstood Tiona, Lynn didn't waste any more breath explaining.
Sheathing Raikiri, he looked at the path ahead leading to the nineteenth floor.
"Let's go. We're heading to the City of Water Maze."
...
According to the danger level of the monsters, the Guild divides the Dungeon into five areas: the Upper Floors, Middle Floors, Lower Floors, Deep Floors, and the Unknown Territory.
Based on the terrain, the Adventurers Guild has another classification for the Dungeon.
Before reaching the first safety floor, the Eighteenth Floor, the areas composed of rocks and chambers that adventurers encounter are called the Cavern Labyrinth.
Starting from the Eighteenth Floor, the scenery of the Dungeon undergoes a massive change for the first time, featuring natural landscapes like grasslands and trees.
For convenience, the Guild refers to the floors from the nineteenth to the twenty-fourth as the Great Tree Labyrinth, referring to the terrain within.
After passing through the passage on the twenty-fourth floor to reach the twenty-fifth, the scenery of the Dungeon changes once again.
"We're almost there."
Walking down the sloping passage, Tiona looked at the blue light and shadows appearing ahead.
"The twenty-fifth floor is just ahead."
Splash~!
Amidst Tiona's reminder, the sound of rushing water crashing against rocks met them head-on.
Lynn and the others quickened their pace and soon reached the twenty-fifth floor through the passage.
In the next second, a magnificent azure view appeared in Lynn's sight.
