As expected, Mia scolded him harshly.
And the shop assistants teased Shirou Emiya harshly.
"After that, let's find someone to team up with and go through the dungeon again!"
Shirou Emiya looked at the adventure map in his hand and began to follow the same route back to the ground.
This is the limit of his exploration now.
It’s not that Shirou Emiya has no way to defeat these monsters, but because of resource problems, he can’t continue exploring.
Fighting like this for dozens of hours would take a huge toll on Shirou Emiya.
Even if Shirou Emiya could break into the 18th safe floor to rest, he would not be able to continue exploring without food.
As a single person, Shirou Emiya naturally had no way of exploring the dungeon with a large backpack.
The backpack was too restrictive for him.
Unlike those teams, some people are responsible for logistics, some are responsible for support, some are responsible for treatment, and some are responsible for vigilance.
Emiya Shirou needs to concentrate highly to bear all of this.
For adventurers, the most taboo thing is to be isolated and helpless.
The dungeon will not show any mercy to adventurers, whether it is using traps or crushing them with hordes of monsters.
It has always been fighting with the intention of killing the adventurers.
Chapter 435: Alone
Night is the busiest time in Orario.
Whether it's a vendor shouting on the street or an adventurer drinking in the tavern.
The whole street was filled with a noisy atmosphere.
The jewel-like moon hangs in the sky, emitting bright light, and the stars are constantly shining in the night sky.
Most of the adventurers have already returned from the dungeon and started to enjoy their lives.
Just like normal people living in Orario, most adventurers would choose to adventure in the dungeon during the day and would not return to Orario until dusk.
Let go of your exhausted body, use the gold coins you have earned from your exhausting exploration, and relax your body and mind before exploring the dungeon next time.
This is also the favorite moment for many adventurers.
After all, not everyone can go to the dungeon every day like Shirou Emiya.
The life of an adventurer is not just about exploring dungeons.
"Ugh! Emiya, you're back so late again!"
In the brightly lit guild, Aina slowly placed the documents in her hand on the table with a smile on her face.
"Well, if we don't collect those dropped magic cores and materials, we should be able to save a lot of time—"
Shirou Emiya responded to Aina with a wry smile. If he hadn't spent a lot of time collecting, he might have reached the eighteenth security level by now.
However, he did not show any regret or self-blame for this.
Originally, exploring the dungeon was just a way for Shirou Emiya to earn money.
During this period of time, it would be great to be able to break into the deeper parts of the dungeon, but for Shirou Emiya, it doesn't matter if he can't break into the deeper parts.
"Well! I've already told you, Emiya, that when going down to a dungeon it's best to team up with others so that if you really encounter any crisis you can take care of each other."
Aina has been persuading Shirou Emiya to team up with others and go to the dungeon during this period.
The dungeon itself is full of dangers, not to mention that Shirou Emiya is just an ordinary person who has not received any gifts.
It seems that it is not good to use the word "ordinary person" to describe Shirou Emiya, who can break into the 16th floor alone.
But Aegina could not find any other adjective to describe someone who had not received the gift.
"There's nothing we can do about this!"
Shirou Emiya could only spread his hands to express his helplessness.
It's not that he doesn't want to team up, it's just that almost no one is willing to team up with Shirou Emiya.
After moving to the middle level, Shirou Emiya's fame in Orario experienced a new surge.
Being able to go to the middle level alone means that Shirou Emiya is at least at the level of a LV2 adventurer.
This is not normal. In Orario, almost half of the adventurers are at level 1. This is a high wall in front of countless adventurers.
I don't know how many people will never be able to break through LV1 and reach LV2 in their entire lives.
This is an obstacle that can only be overcome if one has sufficient qualifications.
LV1 adventurers are even called lower-level adventurers in Orario.
No one will take a LV1 adventurer seriously.
However, Shirou Emiya, without receiving any blessing from God, has reached a level that most adventurers will never be able to reach in their lifetime.
Isn't this shocking and makes people jealous?
Almost all adventurers do not believe that Shirou Emiya is a human being who has not received the Gift.
But with the confirmation of those gods, they had to believe that Shirou Emiya had such strength.
However, those adventurers did not trust Emiya Shirou.
It's not out of jealousy, it's simply because Shirou Emiya did not accept the gift.
If adventurers want to improve their level, in addition to qualifications, the most important thing is [Great Deeds].
To put it simply, [Great Deeds] are what are called experience points in the game.
The accumulation of great deeds is related to the strength of the opponent and the difficulty of the situation. The stronger the opponent defeated or the greater the difficulty overcome, the more great deeds can be accumulated. At the same time, great deeds will also be distributed among the team according to certain rules.
However, Shirou Emiya has no gifts, nor does he need to use great deeds to improve himself.
If Emiya Shirou is brought into the team, then there will be a part of the [Great Deeds] missing from the team.
Although others received the great deeds after distribution, the adventurers themselves could not receive them.
But allocating great achievements to someone like Emiya Shirou who doesn't need them at all seems like a complete waste. Even though she knows that she won't get any great achievements if she replaces Emiya Shirou with someone else, she still feels heartbroken about the fact that great achievements are being thrown away directly.
And given Shirou Emiya's level, they couldn't possibly let Shirou Emiya be a supporter who refused to accept any great undertakings.
Instead of asking Shirou Emiya to be a supporter, it would be better to directly find a supporter who is familiar with the dungeon.
On the other hand, gifts are not only a means to increase strength, but also a manifestation of strength.
Everyone knows what kind of strength a LV1 adventurer has and what kind of position he can take.
What is the approximate strength range of LV2 adventurers? What is the approximate strength range of LV3 and LV4 adventurers?
Everyone basically knows this very well. After all, there are quite a few adventurers who possess such strength.
In this way, you can have an accurate understanding of which level your team can explore and the allocation of each team.
However, they had no way of judging what Emiya Shirou's true strength was.
Has he just stepped into the LV2 adventurer level, or has he already reached LV3? Or is he even stronger, or even weaker.
There is no gift that clearly shows how strong Emiya Shirou is.
Those supporters were also unwilling to follow Shirou Emiya into the dungeon, whose true strength was unknown and who had never received any gifts.
The supporters don't know how strong Shirou Emiya is, so they don't know how to remind Shirou Emiya of his range of action, nor do they know how to arrange Shirou Emiya's route.
Rather than following this "ordinary person" whose reputation was making a big fuss in Orario, it would be safer to follow a team of adventurers who had received the gift.
"Why don't you want to accept the blood of God and become a follower of God? If you were an adventurer who accepted the gift, you wouldn't be in such a situation where you couldn't form a team!"
Aina also sighed.
Chapter 436: Aegina's Invitation
"Perhaps I just want to prove my potential. Aren't the gifts bestowed upon you by the gods because they hope to see your potential?"
This is how Emiya Shirou answered the gods who wanted to recruit him into their clan.
His answer was surprisingly recognized by the gods.
Perhaps with Shirou Emiya's ability, if he became a member of their clan, he would become stronger and more famous.
But at most, at most, he would just become like the only LV7 adventurer in Orario, an object of admiration by everyone.
Even if Emiya Shirou could defeat him and become the new strongest after becoming an adventurer, he would only become the new strongest after shocking everyone.
However, if Shirou Emiya reaches the depths of the dungeon without receiving the gift, becomes a member of the dungeon exploration front, and defeats Orario's only LV7.
Then he will become a miracle, a legend that will never be forgotten and will be remembered forever by everyone.
When the gods thought about the possibility of such a future happening to Shirou Emiya, they gave up the idea of having Shirou Emiya join their clan.
Rather than seeing Shirou Emiya becoming a member of their own family, they were more excited to see Shirou Emiya become that almost impossible legend.
They knew that the dungeon was extremely dangerous, but they still let their families explore it. Isn't it because they love this great achievement created by mankind?
Heroic stories and legendary stories are the favorite things of most gods.
“That’s exactly why I don’t understand!”
乀Aina adjusted her glasses and spoke loudly with a little excitement.
"You who have not accepted the gift, not only will you face many times more danger than them, but you will also gain almost nothing from exploring the dungeon."
She didn't understand. She didn't understand why Emiya Shirou had to prove his so-called possibility. It was like he was betting his own life just to prove something. There was no equal value at all and it had almost no meaning.
Even if Shirou Emiya proves himself, so what? What does he want to change? What can he change?
Becoming a legend, no matter how important, is not as important as your own life.
What's more, Emiya Shirou seemed to not care about his own life at all. He had only been in the dungeon for a few days, but he had already reached the sixteenth floor.
Shirou Emiya placed his hand on the shoulders of Aina, who looked a little agitated, and stared into her emerald eyes.
"Before the gods came, weren't there humans who could resist the invasion of dungeon monsters and protect human life?"
"Alas, I should have known from the first day I met you that you are a stubborn person."
Under Emiya Shirou's gaze, Aina's expression calmed down. She adjusted her glasses and a smile slowly rose at the corner of her mouth.
"After all, you are the one who chose to go to the underground city despite my persuasion. I am afraid that few people can change your mind!"
Shirou Emiya could only respond with a wry smile and slowly put his hand down. It seemed that he had no right to refute what Aina said.
"Okay, this is the money you got from the magic crystals and materials. This much money is enough for an ordinary person to live for a lifetime. I don't know what you have been doing with it—"
"Actually, I didn't use it to do anything. I have been learning some forging skills from Hephaestus. I need a lot of materials for my training, so the consumption of money is also very large."
"Really? I didn't expect you to have such a good relationship with Goddess Hephaestus, and that you can even forge. Why don't you join Hephaestus's clan?"
"Stop trying to persuade me to join the clan."
"Okay, okay, I won't say any more!"
Aina quickly waved her hand, indicating that Shirou Emiya could leave, expressing that she disliked Shirou Emiya very much.
"By the way, Aegina, do you know where in Orario I can see history from thousands of years ago? I'm very interested in the history before the advent of all living things."
Perhaps it was because Shirou Emiya mentioned a thousand years ago when he answered earlier that he realized that the gods in this world correspond to those in his own world.
Shirou Emiya can find corresponding existences for almost all gods.
Whether it is the gods in Greek mythology, Norse mythology, Celtic mythology or Indian mythology, Shirou Emiya can find them here.
Fortunately, I have studied history with Teacher Ge Mu and searched many books. Otherwise, I would not have been able to easily discover that the gods here correspond to the gods in my own world.
Of course, what he should be most thankful for is the Holy Grail War, which is why Shirou Emiya cares so much about history.
He was certain that the world where the Holy Grail War took place was a parallel world to his own.
It was also confirmed that the Holy Grail War had occurred in Fuyuki City.
Shirou Emiya wonders if he will once again take part in the Holy Grail War.
But it never goes wrong to know a little more about epics.
