Chapter 383 The Most Terrifying Premonition in History
"How could Lady Freya possibly use divine power? Loli Goddess, you mustn't slander that lady!"
"Could it be that she was using divine power to secretly watch me? That's not entirely unacceptable, long live Lady Freya!"
"Shut up, you bunch of sycophants!"
"Go ask her if you dare! See if she dares to answer! And don't call me the Loli Goddess!"
Hestia was so angry she jumped up and down, glaring at those shameless male gods who spoke up for Freya.
Loki, Hermes, and Baldr are also arguing with the guild, trying to get away with the fine, which is a staggering amount of over a billion.
Since it didn't concern him, Roy turned and left.
The accidental trip to the dungeon was just that—accident. Roy didn't forget his mission and moved to the Gubernian Familia's residence, entrusting them with the task of repairing the Star Garden.
The Gubern family was also extremely busy.
But money makes the world go round, and Roy spent a lot of money, finally managing to get the other side to send in more people.
After finalizing various details with the blacksmith of the Gubney clan, a day had passed just like that.
"Tsk tsk!"
Another few hundred million Faris were spent. Roy couldn't help but click his tongue. It's only when you really need to spend money that you realize money is like water flowing away.
Adding to the expenses incurred in purchasing magic books, the cash reserves of the Astrea Familia dwindled rapidly, and Roy pondered that he needed to find an opportunity to make some money.
Inside the man-made maze, there are also a large amount of supplies belonging to the dark faction, which can be sold on the black market.
However, due to the large number of people killed in the past, and the lack of an automatic cleaning function in the man-made maze, with tens of thousands of corpses rotting and infested with maggots, Roy was reluctant to go in.
As dusk fell, Roy returned to the resort.
Before even entering the hotel, we heard Cassandra's earth-shattering, high-decibel scream.
"iPictureMedical, boom! boom!!
The world fell silent, a desolate atmosphere like the end of the world enveloped the earth, autumn winds swept through, raising dust storms, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and menacing silver lightning bolts, like tree branches, covered the gloomy sky.
The sky collapsed and the earth shattered!
A thick black fog descended from the abyss, reaping the lives of everyone as it swept past!
When it all ends, the forest will lose its vitality, the rivers will cease to flow, all life on earth will die, and the world will return to nothingness!
Cassandra's body trembled uncontrollably, her pale lips moved slightly, uttering a sound as soft as a mosquito's buzz, and her eyes were filled with deep terror. It was unimaginable what she had seen to frighten a Level 6 adventurer like this.
"The content of a precognitive dream —"
Roy activated his "Adventure" ability, becoming immune to curses, and listened to Cassandra's account, which was undoubtedly the most severe precognitive dream in history.
A prophecy of world destruction!
Compared to her previous precognitive dreams, Cassandra remembered much more this time, especially the scenes of destruction, which she remembered clearly.
It was as if the world was casting malice upon her.
Tell her frankly and openly that everything you know is about to be destroyed, and what can you do about it?!
Roy frowned. He had just accepted the task of dealing with the "visiting dragon problem" in the north. Was this a coincidence?
Will that black dragon thing come out ahead of time?
With our current fighting strength, the odds of defeating the Beast of the End, which caused the destruction of Zeus and Hera's clan, are so slim they are practically zero!
If, as Hera says, the black dragon is an "assassin of the gods" immune to divine power, then whether his divine spear Gungnir will be effective is unknown.
"Commander, there are still many more, I, I—"
Cassandra looked terrified, her small hands gripping Roy's clothes so tightly that her knuckles turned white, but she could no longer say anything. Apart from the images of destruction, everything else was as bizarre and distorted as before.
Precognitive dreams won't tell her how it happened, who caused it, only the disillusioning outcome!
A deep despair enveloped her heart.
Roy knew that pressuring the other party would be useless, so he said softly, "Don't be afraid, calm down, think it over slowly."
Roy's gentle voice was like a breeze, touching the fragile heart of the blue-haired girl. Apart from Roy, no one had ever believed in her precognitive dreams.
"Regimental Commander—"
Cassandra lowered her eyes, her azure hair brushing against her cheeks, which were flushed with a beautiful blush. Her fingers unconsciously twisted the hem of her clothes, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, carrying a hint of timidity and expectation that softened one's heart, "Commander, may I lie in your arms?"
Roy gazed at the girl, who looked like a small animal seeking shelter, a warm, gentle smile curving his lips. He nodded slightly, "Okay!"
"Commander!"
The moment she received permission, the timidity in Cassandra's eyes transformed into a starlight-like brilliance.
Like a fledgling swallow that has finally found its nest, she threw herself into Roy's broad and warm embrace!
"call!"
Cassandra buried her little head contentedly in the boy's firm chest, pressing it tightly against him as if she wanted to melt into him. The familiar, comforting scent lingered around her nose—a scent unique to the leader, a blend of sunshine and crispness.
An unprecedented sense of peace enveloped her, alleviating the fear and pain brought by the premonition dream, leaving only an intoxicating warmth and security.
Roy asked, "Did you see any dragons?"
Suppressing her anxiety, Cassandra's mind cleared considerably. She said uncertainly, "It looks like there's a very, very big dark shadow, but I don't know if it's a dragon monster—"
Upon learning that her clan was about to travel north to deal with the "Dragon Visit Problem," Cassandra's pupils constricted. "Captain, you must take Lady Ryu, Lady Tione, Lady Tiona, and Daphne with you—"
Cassandra went through the names of all the girls in the clan one by one, as if reciting a menu.
She was even hesitant about whether to mention the goddess, her pretty face showing a lot of conflict.
Roy whispered, "Do you know what the dream is about?"
"Mmm—Mmm-hmm—"
1
Cassandra nodded repeatedly.
Intuitive!
When judging the content of precognitive dreams, Roy relies not only on his own wisdom and the information he has, but also on intuition, which is, in some ways, more reliable.
In summary, Cassandra's message was that he should take as many troops as possible with him to the north.
"Commander, I cannot accompany you to the North." Cassandra's voice was so weak it was almost imperceptible.
Roy stared at Cassandra, "You're telling me to take more troops north, but you're not going yourself. What are you trying to do?"
If it were someone else, they might think that Cassandra was frightened by the precognitive dream and dared not go.
But after going through so much.
The Cassandra before me was no longer the timid and weak girl she once was in the Apollo Familia. Roy could order her to kill without hesitation.
Roy didn't believe the other person was afraid of death.
"If this is your judgment, I allow it!" Roy patted Cassandra's little head.
"Captain, waaaaaah!"
The overwhelming feeling of being unconditionally trusted spread like a warm current throughout her body. The girl could no longer suppress her sobs, and hot tears streamed down her face like rain – tears of happiness.
"Well, even Cassandra isn't behaving herself!"
"This really triggers the leader's protective instincts!"
"I want the captain's embrace too!"
The girls who were eavesdropping outside the door whispered among themselves and heard everything.
However, influenced by the spell of "precognitive dreams," they completely disbelieved everything Cassandra said, believing it to be a trick to gain Roy's sympathy.
If they are face-to-face, their emotions will become irritable and easily angered; this is the terrifying power of curses.
The members of Astrea's clan gathered for a meal in the hall.
The resort doesn't have many staff yet; the people Lily hired are only responsible for the most basic security.
It's far from enough to open for business.
It will take time for Eina, the new general manager, to take over and conduct large-scale recruitment in order for the system to function properly.
The facilities were complete, and Astraea showcased her perfect culinary skills, satisfying everyone's hunger.
The girls ate heartily, and when they were full, they lay on the sofa with round bellies.
After dinner, Roy informed everyone of his mission to go north to deal with the "Dragon Visit Problem".
The girls who had already overheard the conversation responded enthusiastically, without exception.
"Regarding the visit to Longyan, it's been a long time since I went."
"Where is the Black Dragon? How interesting!"
"Who cares about dragons? As long as I'm with the captain, there's nothing to be afraid of!"
The issue of dragon visits in Dragon Nest was once handled by the Astrea Familia. Back then, it was led by Ariste, Kaguya, and Ryu. They were known as the "Family of Justice" and would never allow such a thing to happen.
The monsters in Dragon Nest are remnants from the ancient times, before the gods descended to the mortal realm.
Their abilities far surpass those of the monsters that roam the surface, and they are all powerful dragons. Once they come out, they will be a devastating blow to the people on the surface.
Bert, a werewolf from the Loki Familia, was one of the victims. Born into a northern orc tribe, when he was twelve, his entire tribe was slaughtered by dragon monsters that emerged from Dragon Valley, and he was the only one who managed to escape.
"Then I announce the members who will participate in this mission!" Roy's gaze swept over the girls around him.
"Gurgle!"
The girls swallowed instinctively, appearing somewhat nervous, not out of fear, but out of longing.
"Me, Ryu, Tione, Daphne, Haruhime, Lefia, Alexie, Kaguya, Lyra, and Maru, ten people in total!" Roy didn't keep them in suspense, his gaze lingering on the girl whose name he called.
"Yay!"
Tiony and Daphne cheered, as did the other girls whose names were called.
The girl whose name wasn't called pouted in dissatisfaction and looked at Roy with a resentful expression.
The aloof and refined Liu Jingzhi smiled slightly. She was quite disappointed that she couldn't participate in the "Six Rings of the Fairy" incident and stayed by Roy's side.
Cassandra's eyes darkened. As a Level 6 healer, she had an almost 100% participation rate in group activities, but this time her name wasn't on the list. Although it was her request, she couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Cassandra quickly perked up.
She chose to stay in Orario not because she was afraid of death, but because of a premonition in her dream!
Roy remained rational and did not bring everyone as Cassandra had suggested, but he did bring as many strong fighters as possible, otherwise he could have easily dealt with the "dragon-visiting problem" with just three or four people.
Dionysus is still secretly plotting something, and Orario also needs manpower.
Tiona (LV.7), Anya (LV.6), Cassandra, and Lily (LV.6), plus Noin,
Aste, Liana, and others are enough.
At worst, Anya could seek help from the Freya Familia—specifically, LV.7 Eren.
The children are about to embark on another long journey, and every time this time comes, Astraea feels a void in her heart.
"Please be careful!"
Astraea carefully checked everyone's belongings, helped Roy straighten his clothes, and wore her usual gentle smile on her beautiful and dignified face as she watched Roy and the others leave.
"Don't worry, my goddess!"
"Let's go! Destination: Dragon Valley!"
Unlike ordinary expeditions, the "Dragon Visit Problem" involved the lives of millions in the north. Roy and his group did not stay long. They filled their two spatial rings with supplies and left the city the next day.
Only the Astrea Familia could move so fast, which amazed the guild and other major families.
"Brother Roy, go and see the truth of this world!" Hermes murmured.
The abode of the world-destroying dragon! After the complete annihilation of Zeus and Hera's kin, all the prosperity of the lower realms resembled a patient in a final, desperate attempt at revelry, fueled by adrenaline.
When the black dragon reappears, the world will be destroyed!
"Lord Hermes, pay the fine now!"
"President, please calm down, please calm down!"
Upon hearing this, Hermes could no longer maintain his serious demeanor and forced a smile. A fine of over a billion falies—wasn't that going to kill him?
Asifi reluctantly cleaned up the mess.
On the giant ship of the school district in Mellenport.
Leon, Bader, and the others also learned that the Astrea Familia was going to deal with the "Dragon Visit Problem." In fact, the school district is the force that has contributed the most in this regard, maintaining the security of the north for hundreds of years.
Even in the last decade or so, whenever there was any unusual activity in Dragon Valley, Leon and his crew, who were traveling around the world, would drop everything and immediately head north.
"I heard that a big guy has escaped this time," said God Baldr.
"Yes!" Leon nodded.
Without the Astrea Familia, it would probably take the combined might of the Loki Familia and the School District to deal with that giant creature.
The rise of the Astrea Familia brought about countless changes, even leading to the resurrection of Alphia. The witch's power is beyond doubt.
Roy's rapid upgrade has injected new vitality into the Nether, bringing people endless hope.
"Truly reliable!"
Leon remarked that Roy's Astrea Familia always made people want to rely on them.
Badr, "We also have things to do!"
Leon's attention returned to the giant ship in the school district, where passionate young men and women were laughing and playing—the hope for the future, the spark of a new era!
Bell's figure flashed by among the students.
Leon's eyes were resolute. During his travels around the world, the school district had never yielded to the unreasonable demands and oppression of various countries, and this time would be no different! Even if it meant fighting against the Freya Familia, they would protect the students!
This is the reason why school districts exist!
