Chapter 166: Wien: Liam, I Want to Be with You
The dragon girl heard this and was immediately scared to death. It was just that she didn't dare to run, and placed all her hopes on Liam.
Even though they had only just met for the first time, even though the two were not even of the same race.
But the dragon girl felt that this person, Liam, looked kind and reliable.
"So it's Lord Liam. My apologies, we'll leave now."
Liam coughed, "My partner was burned. Do you have any healing potions?"
"We do, we do."
The leading adventurer showed a smile that was uglier than crying. He carefully placed a bottle of healing potion on the ground from his own pocket.
Then he led the dozens of adventurers to retreat and leave in a hurry.
Healing potions were very expensive, because the number of people with healing abilities in this world was very small.
And mass-producing healing potions was very difficult; they could almost only be made by hand, one bottle at a time.
But one bottle of healing potion could almost give an adventurer an extra life, so as long as they had the means, adventurers would grit their teeth and buy a bottle.
After the surrounding people had all left, Liam picked up the potion and looked at the dragon girl whose body was covered by the cloak.
On the dragon girl's forehead was a crystal-clear ruby. Her eyes had black vertical pupils, and her irises were orange.
At this time, there was still a crimson wound on her face.
Liam took out a new bottle of healing potion and began to clean and treat the dragon girl's wound.
He pulled the young woman up and looked at her seriously. "Hello, my name is Liam. She is my friend, Ryuu Lion."
Ryuu Lion was frowning at this time, looking at Liam with a serious expression.
"Have you really thought this through? She's a monster!"
Liam nodded, "I want to try!"
The dragon girl, according to his understanding of this world, should be a Xenos.
That is, in the Orario Dungeon, some monsters would be resurrected after death and gradually awaken their own consciousness.
Clearly, the dragon girl in front of him was one of the Xenos.
"I think we need to return to the eighteenth floor first and discuss this carefully."
Ryuu nodded. In the current situation, continuing to explore the Dungeon with the dragon girl was really a bit fanciful.
There was no guarantee when this dragon girl would backstab them.
So it was better to discuss it on the eighteenth floor, to see whether to release her, execute her on the spot, or other options.
At this time, the sky crystals on the eighteenth floor had already dimmed, and night had fallen.
The three of them, Liam's group, stayed by the fire. Ryuu had thought a lot on the way.
Liam was the same. After seeing the dragon girl, he was also thinking.
Regarding the Xenos, how should he face them.
The dragon girl's current state was so pitiful. Setting aside her monster identity, just treating her as a person.
She had done nothing wrong. She should be given the same status as a human.
Can monsters and humans coexist peacefully? Can adventurers become friends with Xenos?
Now this difficult problem had come to him?
Having already changed class to Sword Saint, he did indeed have the military force to provide shelter for the Xenos.
It was just that this power was still not enough to contend with all the forces of Orario.
What to do?
"Ryuu, do you think there's a possibility? That we can coexist peacefully with the monsters of the Dungeon?
At least, with the part that possesses reason, become friends?"
Ryuu was stunned. These words actually came from Liam's mouth?
Wasn't this too idealistic?
"Become friends? Monsters have killed many of our people, and we have also killed many monsters. Both sides already have a deep chain of hatred."
"But monsters are constantly being born in the Dungeon. Even if she is a monster, she has reason and can communicate.
Perhaps we can separate them from the monsters and treat them as a new race."
Liam looked at the dragon girl, "Are you willing to come with me?"
The dragon girl looked at Liam timidly and finally nodded.
Liam's words were a bit profound, but she could sense from her sixth sense that Liam held no ill will towards her.
...
Somewhere in the Dungeon.
Ouranos sat on his throne. Fels, completely hidden in a cloak, was staying by the golden spiral magic staff.
"This is going to be difficult, Ouranos. A monster with reason has made contact with an adventurer and is about to leave the Dungeon."
"So, which adventurer made the contact?"
"It's Sword Soul Liam!"
Ouranos, who had been in the Guild altar all year round, his expression also became complicated after hearing Liam's name.
"Is he the one even more dazzling than Bell, the strongest new adventurer with even greater potential?"
Hearing Ouranos's murmur, Fels nodded.
"Yes, the Hestia Familia has attracted the attention of the entire city in both good and bad ways. Especially Liam, who has been a topic of conversation for everyone since becoming an adventurer.
In all these years in Orario, no one has ever surpassed him in the limelight."
Ouranos fell into silence. A moment later, he slightly lowered his head and looked at Fels not far away.
"I want to witness it to the end, whether the Hestia Familia and Liam can become their hope."
...
The Hearthfire Manor.
Under the cover of night, Liam and Ryuu brought the dragon girl back to the Hestia Familia.
"What did you say? A talking monster? I've never even heard of it!"
Hestia looked at the dragon girl beside Liam in surprise.
She sized up the dragon girl. Because everyone in the living room was present, the gazes of many people were on the dragon girl.
This made the dragon girl grip Liam's arm uneasily.
Hestia rubbed her head. Making her think was really more painful than killing her.
"To be honest, I don't know how to view her either. But since she's so pitiful, shall we take her in for now?"
Liam breathed a sigh of relief. Since Hestia had no objections, everything was easy to say.
Out of friendliness, Hestia proactively came before the dragon girl. "By the way, what's your name?"
"Name? Liam?"
The dragon girl tried her best to wrap her whole body in the cloak and shrank beside Liam.
Liam rubbed the dragon girl's head. After he placed his hand on the dragon girl's head, her emotions clearly calmed down.
"How about this, I'll give you a name. Look, is Wien okay?"
This was originally her name in the original work. Liam, who was terrible at naming, since there was a ready-made one, was too lazy to think too much.
Wien was naturally very fond of this name, "Wien! My name is Wien!"
The young woman's hands gripped Liam's arm tightly. Because of her excitement, her fingernails even created astonishing sparks and a harsh friction sound on Liam's arm guard.
"So sharp!"
Lili immediately took out her weapon and aimed it at Wien, "Hey! Are you trying to kill Liam?"
The other few also put their hands on their weapons, and the surrounding atmosphere immediately became tense.
Liam coughed, "Don't worry, she's just showing me affection. Her nails are too long. Lili, go get me a whetstone."
Seeing that Liam had said so, the others had no choice but to let down their guard, but their expressions when looking at Wien became serious.
No matter what, Wien did indeed have the identity and bloodline of a monster. She was a completely different species from humans.
Liam drew Lust from the Selfless Sword Domain. This wakizashi was very sharp. As long as he used it carefully, it was very convenient for trimming nails.
Wien's eyes were watery. She was even more scared when she saw Liam take out a knife and point it at her.
But no matter how scared, she just shrank against the back of the sofa, trembling, but did not run away from here. Or rather, even if the one who wanted to harm her was Liam, there was no one more reassuring to her than Liam nearby.
Liam's empty hand touched her head, "This is for trimming your nails, don't be afraid."
Under Liam's patience, Wien nodded lightly, then handed over her hand.
Liam held Wien's hand, then began to cut with the blade of Lust.
"Clang!"
Without infusing sword aura, Lust actually created sparks when cutting Wien's nails.
Afterward, with the infusion of sword aura, Wien's nails were easily cut by him.
Liam curiously picked up a cut nail, then scratched it on an iron plate.
A smooth scratch immediately appeared on the iron plate.
"So sharp!"
Using this material to make a weapon would definitely have a great effect!
Each of these dropped nails was three or four centimeters long, and were then carefully wrapped by Liam and put into his pocket.
This was a necessary act for sustainable development.
Hestia coughed, "I have an announcement to make. Shall we go and inquire about related intelligence separately later?
And what is currently happening in the Dungeon?"
Liam wanted to say something but hesitated. He did know some of the current situation. But he couldn't say it, because the source was hard to explain.
According to his idea, he was preparing to let the Familia members and Hestia accept Wien's existence, and even let her become a member of the Familia.
It was just that everyone's acceptance of Wien indeed still needed more time to accumulate.
Is there a possibility?
That humans can accept the Xenos race just as they accept elves and gods?
Since Orario can accept races like Amazons, beastmen, dwarves, and so on, then what about the Xenos?
Can they also be accepted?
Everyone in the Hestia Familia, including the goddess Hestia, began to act separately.
Liam also began his own plan.
According to his understanding, their actions now were being watched by Ouranos and the others.
He guessed that the other party wanted to see how he would resolve this incident.
Liam had his subordinates buy some girls' clothes and had Wien try them on one by one.
The young women from the Grand Casino who had been rescued, some would take turns on duty at The Hearthfire Manor.
So many things, he didn't need to do them personally.
The lawn of The Hearthfire Manor was very comfortable, with warm sunshine and soft grass.
All the scenery here was something Wien had never seen in the underground.
After a comfortable bath, wearing the clothes Liam had commissioned, Wien felt such a beautiful life for the first time.
"Liam! The surface is so beautiful! I don't want to wear clothes anymore!"
After speaking, Wien wanted to take off her clothes, which made Liam a little nervous.
"Don't take them off!"
Wien in the end still followed Liam's command and did not take off her clothes.
Liam took Wien to eat, read, and walk throughout The Hearthfire Manor.
He inadvertently turned his head and happened to see a white owl with different-colored eyes on a certain tree.
Is it surveillance?
Watch as you please~!
Liam only wanted to improve his strength, so if possible, he wanted to become friends with the Xenos.
Compared to the monsters in the Dungeon, the Xenos clearly possessed intelligence.
When Liam killed Dungeon monsters, he would only treat them as experience points, mobs.
But if it were Xenos, unless the other party was hostile to him, he would not proactively hunt them.
Annihilating incommunicable beasts, and killing highly intelligent species, were two completely different concepts.
The sun set. The group, who had been busy for a day, returned one after another.
Hestia lay lazily on the sofa, "How was your harvest?"
"Nothing."
"Nothing."
Cassandra, Daphne, and Mikoto all shook their heads.
Lili's face was not looking good, "I only heard a little bit of news on my side, and it's very tricky."
Liam led Wien over, "Since we have no leads, shall we eat first?"
"Okay!"
Mikoto's cooking was very good. With the female staff as assistants, the dinner for Liam and the others was quickly prepared.
After a day of contact, Wien was already able to chat fluently with everyone.
"Sister Mikoto's cooking is so delicious!"
This obvious progress really made everyone look at her in a new light.
Liam happily rubbed Wien's head, "Wien is so great. You can already chat with us easily now!"
"Thank you!" A brilliant smile bloomed on Wien's face.
After dinner, it was naturally time for a bath.
Wien's appearance and figure were very cute, like a porcelain doll.
The difference between her and humans was that there were a few dragon scales on her left cheek, left shoulder, right waist, etc., and her pupils and eye color were different from humans.
Inside the warm women's bathhouse, Wien looked at everyone with a puzzled expression.
"Why isn't Liam bathing with us?"
"Because Liam is a boy!" Lili's tone was very firm!
"The relationship between men and women is very complicated, you know, Wien."
Hestia actually also wanted to find Liam, but she was really too shy. It was still thousands of years too early for her to do such a bold thing!
Wien, along with the many other girls, washed her entire body, and then they all soaked in the bath together.
The warm hot water washed over everyone's bodies, relieving their bodies that had been busy all day.
"So comfortable~!"
Staying in the bath, Wien was surrounded by Mikoto, Lili, and the others.
The bath brought their relationship much closer. Lili's gaze swept over the crowd.
As a result, she surprisingly found that she and Cassandra were tied for last place.
Everyone else, even Wien, was better developed than her!
After discovering this extremely humiliating fact, Lili was extremely angry but had no way out.
"Why are you all so well-developed?"
"Probably born with it?"
Mikoto carefully replied.
Lili snorted and directly turned her back to the crowd.
"I really still want to be with Liam!"
Wien got up from the bath, naked, left the bath, and then ran towards the men's bath.
This scene directly stunned all the girls present. What kind of tiger-wolf words were these?
