"Loki, what are you doing?"
Rivera saw Loki huddled in the corner, sneaking around and eavesdropping on Roy and Finn's conversation in the hall.
"Shh!" Loki quickly put his finger to his lips, signaling Rivera to be quiet. She still felt a little embarrassed for helping Freya, that seductive vixen, test Roy.
If it weren't for the allure of the divine wine, she wouldn't have wanted to appear at the Soma Familia's residence last time.
Riveria shook her head. Gods who seal away divine power are no different from ordinary people. How could a high-level adventurer not have noticed?
Roy and Finn were just pretending not to know.
Rivera ignored it and walked out on her own.
Roy and Finn looked up and greeted each other.
Rivera was dressed in dark green casual clothes, with a white coat draped over her shoulders, which clung tightly to her amazing figure. Her emerald green hair was tied in a ponytail, and she wore no makeup. Her gait was graceful and elegant, and she had a smile on her face.
Fortunately, Ais wasn't there, otherwise Roy would have had a real headache dealing with this girl's challenge.
The commander and deputy commander of the Loki Familia have arrived.
Finally getting to the point, Roy's expression turned serious. "Actually, I received information that someone wanted to harm me and my companions on the day of the Monster Festival."
Finn and Riveria's expressions shifted; this news had surprised them quite a bit.
They seemed to realize the purpose of Roy's trip.
Finn asked, "What do you mean?"
Roy said, "I want to hire the Loki Familia members to be our guards on that day."
Finn and Riveria exchanged a glance, a strange glint in their eyes. The Astrea Familia was not weak; they had a Level 5 Gale.
Are the enemies this troublesome? So much so that Roy even needs to ask them for help.
Riveria pursed her lips. If it were a personal matter, she would be happy to help this "royal junior," but when it came to the level of the familia, it was not something a vice-captain could decide.
Finn hesitated for a moment, then said, "The clan doesn't have any expeditions going on lately, so taking on this commission is fine. But you should know that the reward for commissioning us is..." Roy replied, "I'll offer ten million Fali!"
Loki, who was eavesdropping, scoffed. Ten million Faris was all it took to get her child to work.
Roy added, "Ten million Fali per person, limited to adventurers of LV.4 and above, double for LV.5 adventurers, and separately for LV.6 adventurers."
The hall fell silent.
Roy's extravagance startled Finn and Riveria. The young man before them seemed to have transformed into a god of wealth, and the air was filled with the smell of money.
Loki, hiding in the corner, was dumbfounded. He almost forgot that this kid was a very wealthy man who had made a fortune through the auction of the Soma clan's divine wine.
Finn smiled wryly. He hadn't planned to agree, but the offer was just too much!
A serving of fries on the street costs thirty or forty falies, while a bottle of the top-grade Panacea from the Dean Clan costs 500,000 falies. Ten million falies is enough to buy a large villa in Orario. It would take a level 4 adventurer several months to accumulate that much wealth.
Roy hired them, and he came up with at least 100 million Faris; even Finn couldn't ignore that number.
Rivera gave Roy a reproachful look, like an old mother complaining about her spendthrift son. This kind of thing could be discussed with her privately.
Roy, however, disagreed. He never wanted to owe anyone a favor if he could solve something with money.
"Okay, we'll accept this commission."
Finn agreed.
In addition to expeditions, the Loki Familia also accepts requests from friendly Families, such as the Dean Clan and the Gubern Familia, for special materials.
But the pay is very high.
Finn was worried that Roy's offer would be too low, making it difficult to refuse. He would then be unable to explain himself to his subordinates. As the leader of the clan, he had to consider all aspects.
With the cooperation secured and time pressing, Roy didn't linger. He got up and left without needing to leave any proof. They were all prominent families in Orario, and it wouldn't be worth making a fuss over something like this.
Rivera personally escorted Roy to the door.
"Is it that urgent?"
Riveria was slightly surprised. Who on earth had set their sights on the Astrea Familia?
Roy nodded and walked away quickly, leaving Riveria with a thin, retreating figure.
Riveria returned to the hall.
Loki emerged, still wearing the same shorts and a tube top, his short red hair tied in a single ponytail.
The three sat on the sofa, and Rivera asked, "Finn, what do you think?"
Finn licked his thumb, feeling a slight pain. "Something will probably happen on the day of the Monster Festival, but it won't be aimed at us."
"Loki, what about you?"
"I'll help if I can. I still owe him a favor, and this time I've finally paid it back."
Roy left the Twilight Mansion.
He then went to the Soma Familia's encampment and had Lily coordinate the Familia's personnel. Although they weren't good at fighting, they were sufficient for surveillance. These two or three hundred people were distributed in different areas.
On the day of the Monster Festival, they can be notified immediately if anything unusual happens.
"Don't worry, Lord Roy, we're all ready!" Lily's little face was serious. She was finally able to help Lord Roy, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.
"Thanks!"
Roy patted Lily's little head.
Lily's hair was a mess, but she wasn't annoyed at all; on the contrary, she enjoyed it.
At the Soma clan's residence, Roy casually asked for a secret room and carried out the experiment he had always wanted to do.
The Shikon Jewel!
He had had this legendary equipment for some time, but he had been too busy to test its power.
Now that he knows someone is targeting them, Roy makes time for them no matter how busy he is.
Use all available resources to utterly crush the enemy!
In summary, the effects of this equipment are to enhance strength, resurrect the dead, and grant wishes.
A side effect is that negative emotions can contaminate the precious jade, thereby affecting the user's mind.
For Roy, the first two are definitely the most useful. The Shikon Jewel can only grant the "one and only wish," and any other wishes will be met with a backlash.
Roy took out a corpse from his spatial ring. It was the man that Chanis had sent to follow him. After Roy killed him, he put the body in the ring.
It's perfect for experiments now.
Roy forcefully pressed the Shikon Jewel into the lifeless corpse, waiting for the change to occur.
Roy didn't know if it would work.
Unlike Inuyasha, this world has gods. When people in the lower realm die, their souls return to the heavens, their memories are erased, and they are reincarnated.
In the world of Inuyasha, there have never been any gods or immortals in the true sense; it's all just legend.
The only pair that can be reincarnated are Kikyo and Kagome. The explanation that the Shikon Jewel carried Kikyo's soul into Kagome's body is not necessarily unfounded.
With the souls in the hands of the gods, could the Shikon Jewel snatch them from their jaws? Roy seemed a little nervous.
