Because they didn't know what Baili wanted to do with the Black Dragon.
Hestia reacted quickly...
"Could it be that Baili Yao..."
The Blue Ribbon Goddess placed her right hand on her neck at 4.9 degrees and made a neck-slitting motion.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from the second floor.
Rias, Akeno, Yukino, and Mai, having changed their clothes, also arrived at the scene.
Looking at the newly appeared girls, Hermes did not stop speaking.
"I have definite intelligence and 100% accurate coordinates."
As he said this, Hermes took a map from his robes.
Besides the labyrinth city of Orario, there are several other marked locations on the map.
Such as the sword-making city of Zolingen, the fighting kingdom of Tyrskula, the kingdom of Lachia, and many ports.
One of these places was highlighted by Hermes.
"right here……"
He pointed to the black dot.
"At the Dragon Valley at the end of the world, the strongest monster that once defeated the Zeus Familia and the Hera Familia—the Black Dragon—is sealed away."
Baili looked at it and couldn't help but ask.
How long does it usually take?
"It takes quite a while to cross the ocean."
"It's neither by land nor by sea."
"You mean...the sky?"
Hermes spread his hands.
The chief god said with a wry smile
"Nobody has tried it, and I don't know either."
"The results will come later."
"Wait, Lord Baili, are you saying you're going on a campaign against the Black Dragon?"
"After all, I've actually been here for quite a long time."
He surveyed the surrounding area for a hundred miles.
His gaze swept over every girl present.
"It's time to give them more experience points."
Baili's next plan has been finalized.
Expedition against the Black Dragon, annihilate it instantly, and gain experience!
Chapter 117 A Day's Expedition! A Glimpse of the Star God! Instant Kill of the Black Dragon! (Part 2)
Expedition against the Black Dragon, complete the raid, and gain experience.
These are the tasks for tomorrow.
Rias, Yukino, and the others were somewhat puzzled upon hearing this news.
After arriving in this other world, they never left Orario, and the farthest they went was to the ruins of a town in the northwest.
Now that Baili has arranged for them to embark on an expedition, he naturally wants to obtain more information.
Faced with the gazes of Rias, Akeno, Koneko, Yukino, Mai, Miko, Asia, and others, Hyakuri's eyes fell on Ais.
Desiring revenge, the swordswoman, who loathes the black dragon, possesses even more information.
Although the information wasn't up-to-date, it at least helped Rias and the others understand just how terrifying and powerful the black dragon in this world truly was.
So Ais stepped forward and told everything she knew—
Black Dragon, one of the three major adventurer commissions, is many times more powerful than the other two commissions, Behemoth and Leviathan. It once slaughtered the Zeus Familia and Hera Familia, who had level 8 and level 9 adventurers.
Not only that, but because the Black Dragon is a black monster born in the dungeon that is immune to divine power, it is an existence that even the gods cannot deal with, just like the troublesome divine assassins.
Although he was injured in one eye in the dungeon and escaped, he was not fatally wounded.
According to some records, in addition to being immune to the power of gods, having extremely high defense and super strong attack power, the black dragon also has the ability to command other dragon monsters, so it is not an exaggeration to call it the king of evil dragons.
To prevent it from creating more world-ending crises, the gods sent down celestial spirits to suppress it.
Among the six great spirits, the Wind Spirit used its power to seal it in Dragon Valley at the end of the world.
People knew of the existence of the black dragon;
People know the location of the Black Dragon;
Dragon Valley is not only dangerous in its surrounding area, but the fairy barrier used to seal the black dragon also prevents outside invasion.
In this way, the monster that could destroy the world remained sealed away.
Perhaps the black dragon had already been sealed and killed by the immortals;
Or perhaps the black dragon is waiting to be freed.
As for the actual outcome...
People tend to favor the second option.
After all, how could a monster that even the 28 gods couldn't kill be killed by a fairy spirit who was a divine messenger?
Ais recounted the information about the black dragon, while Hermes occasionally added his own information.
"Legend has it that before the Black Dragon was driven to the ends of the world, its scales, which it shed in battle, could repel monsters and were worshipped by many as sacred objects; and when some humans or monsters accidentally came into contact with its blood, they would gain extraordinary power, which might make them stronger or cause them to mutate."
Hermes then extended his right index finger
"So, the Black Dragon is a treasure trove, haha! But...! No matter what the rumors are, there's only one view of the Black Dragon in this world—a forbidden existence that must never be touched."
The reason is actually very simple—
"President Baili, are you aware that Orario is already considered the strongest town in the world?"
"I don't really know much about places outside of Orario."
After all, there isn't enough detailed information about the other towns, ports, and countries mentioned in the DanMachi story.
However, Hermes, as a native who had come to the lower realm and had traveled to various places, was well aware of this.
"At that time, the two strongest clans in the world formed an alliance to fight the Black Dragon. The team also included a large number of LV7 and LV8 adventurers, and even LV9. What was the result? They suffered heavy losses, and many of the strong died in the battle with the Black Dragon."
To put it bluntly, even the strongest in this world is no match for them.
Hermes abandoned his earlier flippancy and earnestly reminded her.
"I think President Baili should just focus on Orario as it is now. I have a feeling that your strength and achievements will definitely take Orario to the next level!"
In Hermes' eyes, Baili was an extremely special being.
His arrival has broken the rules of Orario and established a new order.
This pleased Hermes, who was paying attention to these things.
He is an aesthete who believes in entertainment to the death, and he is very interested in the emergence of heroes in Orila, wanting to be a witness to Orila's rise.
So after seeing the power that Baili displayed, Hermes even thought about the future where those so-called Douwang Kingdoms would be incorporated into the territory of Oralil, and the supreme god would become a subordinate god.
That would be quite interesting!
Hermes wants to witness the story of conquering the world, starting with Orario!
But Baili brought this expectation back to reality.
Because Baili decided to embark on a campaign against the Black Dragon, just like the Zeus Familia and Hera Familia in the past!
"I know how powerful Guild Master Hyakuri and all the ladies are; the War Game with the Loki Familia proved that. Moreover, even Otto, the strongest in Orario, couldn't defeat a Level 1 Supporter. It must be because Guild Master Hyakuri bestowed extraordinary power upon that Supporter, but..."
Hermes changed the subject
"Just like the adventurer levels that you all know about now, each level up is a huge leap."
Lower-level adventurers: Lv. 1 adventurers. The average level of half of the adventurers in Orario, with a notoriously high gap compared to Lv. 2 adventurers, requiring sufficient qualifications to cross.
Advanced Adventurer: Adventurers of level 2 or higher. Possessing strength above average, they have acquired additional development abilities in addition to their base stats, and their combat power increases with their level.
Among them, advanced adventurers are further subdivided into Level 3 Adventurers – Lv. 2, Level 2 Adventurers – Lv. 34, and Level 1 Adventurers – Lv. 5 and above.
"I'm afraid 90% of the people in this world are only at LV5 or below, no, it should be LV3 or below. And those who have reached LV4, LV5, and LV6 are extremely rare, not to mention LV7 and LV9 above that. As for that black dragon, I think he is at least LV10 or above!"
This is similar to leveling up in a game.
Level 155 may only require 10 experience points;
However, level 5560 requires 2000 million experience points.
The differences become more pronounced as you progress.
If the difference between LV1 and LV2 is double, then the difference between LV9 and LV10 might be more than a thousand times.
Hermes' meaning is obvious
"The Black Dragon is an absolutely untouchable being."
"Level 10..."
"Yes."
"That means there must be a lot of experience points. After all, the Black Dragon can command other dragons and has defeated the world's top adventurers, becoming the strongest of the strong."
"Uh...experience points? No, I mean Guild Master Baili..."
Hermes wanted to continue persuading him.
His agitation stemmed solely from concern.
Hermes wanted to witness Baili transform Orario and expand it to the world, rather than sending him to challenge the Black Dragon and lose his life.
He had barely opened his mouth when Baili interrupted him, raising his right hand to signal him to shut up.
