DN : [23] Finn the Matchmaker!
🕑 Added 2023-12-29 00:20:40 +0000 UTCWatching Loki, who looked like a guardian, Finn wiped off some cold sweat.
"Loki, calm down a bit. I heard from Riveria that the kid has set his sights on a half-elf consultant from the guild."
"Half-elf consultant? And from the guild?"
"Yes, and it seems the half-elf's mother is Riveria's friend."
"Ah..."
Loki really wanted to say that this was great, and she didn't have to sacrifice Ais. However, the words couldn't come out. As a goddess, though not a male god but a goddess, she understood the significance of a man's first woman. For any man, his first woman held an irreplaceable position in his heart. Even if he moved on to other relationships later, the memory of the first woman would be unforgettable for a lifetime.
"No, it's still not possible. How about this, Finn, you let Aki try it. Whether it succeeds or not, it doesn't matter. Go and find out more about August!"
"You... "
"You go, if Aki is unwilling, then find Tiona, no, go to Tione!"
Originally, Loki wanted to mention Tiona, but thinking of Tiona's body being similar to her own, she changed her mind.
However, Tione's name made Finn frown slightly. It was common knowledge that Tione liked him. Even though Finn didn't like her, making her approach another man for the sake of the familia was uncomfortable. It was like adding an unnecessary hat, creating inner resistance.
"Okay, then I'll go talk to Aki!"
"Good! Go!"
"Ugh, what kind of situation is this?"
Sighing, Finn finally left the reception room.
...
Two flowers blooming, each representing one branch...
On the other side, August returned to his room and took out the Elucidator.
The heavy Elucidator was something August could barely use before. However, now, with a significant boost in all attributes, August could use the black sword to a certain extent.
[Name: Elucidator]
[Level: Magic Sword]
[Binder: Augustus Divus Pracentum]
[Skill 1: Armor Break (Ignores 30% of the target's defense)]
[Skill 2: Heavy Strike (Increases 30% of attack)]
[Skill 3: Durability (Reduces 50% of self-wear)]
The magic sword Elucidator, with three skills, was simple but incredibly powerful! The Armor Break that ignored defense, combined with the attack boost of Heavy Strike, created a formidable synergy. Adding the durability skill, which reduced wear and tear by 50%, made it a divine skill! After three days of intense monster hunting, many of August's weapons were damaged, highlighting the power of this skill.
After testing the feel of the Elucidator, August stored it away with a sense of unfulfilled expectation.
After inheriting the "Eight Thousand Sword Styles," August had developed a special feeling for swords.
Lying on the bed, August began to contemplate.
His next goals were to achieve a significant feat, successfully reach level 2, complete the mission, and get an advanced draw! Then, he aimed to reach the safe floor on the eighteenth level of the dungeon, complete another mission, and get another advanced draw! Finally, he planned to defeat the floor boss on the seventeenth floor, Goliath, to complete the last mission and get a high-level draw! All three missions had high-level draw rewards.
August was looking forward to the rewards from the advanced draw, believing they would be better than the normal draw.
With these thoughts in mind, August slowly closed his eyes and drifted into a deep sleep.
Meanwhile, on the familia's side, Finn had found Anakitty Autumn.
"Aki, do you have a moment?"
At this moment, the elegant cat, Aki, was chatting with other girls. Upon hearing Finn's words, she looked over.
"Captain, is there something you need?"
Aki was also a small leader in the familia, managing most lv1 to lv3 adventurers. Although it mainly involved small matters, in Loki familia, apart from the core members of the first team, the second team and below were mostly led by Aki.
"There's something I want to discuss with you."
"Hmm?"
Seeing the usually resolute Captain Finn showing such an expression, Aki was quite puzzled.
However, she didn't think too much about it. Several steps brought her to Finn's side.
As for the other sisters who were chatting with her, seeing Finn looking for Aki, they wisely dispersed. After all, many matters in the familia were not something they could participate in.
"What's the matter, Captain?"
"There's something that's a bit difficult to say, Aki."
"Uh, Captain, you can just say it. I'm also a member of the familia!"
Aki vaguely guessed that this matter was definitely not small, and it was bound to be troublesome.
"How do you view the new member, August?"
"Huh?"
In an instant, a big question mark appeared above Aki's head.
"Let me be straightforward. What do you think of him? Does he meet your criteria for a partner?"
Finn was also a young man, and over the years, although he liked her, and there were many girls who confessed to him, in matters of romance, he was also a rookie.
"This..."
Aki understood. Finn was acting as a matchmaker.
However, she had no interest in August, and in her heart, there was already someone else.
Both lv4 adventurers from Loki familia, she and Raul joined Loki familia at the same time.
Over the years, the two of them were not only companions but also good friends. The long-term contact naturally led to some emotions.
Seeing Aki's reaction, Finn understood. There was no favor in this matter.
"Well, Captain, I've only met him once, and that was when we delivered clothes together. If you ask me now, I can't give you an answer."
This was already a tactful refusal. After all, she was the captain of the familia, and respect had to be given.
"Alright, let's do this. If you can, try to get in touch with him. If it doesn't work, forget it. But if it works, it's also a good thing!"
"This..."
Hearing Finn's words, Aki suddenly understood.
Finn wanted to use a honey trap on August, and she was the target.
