23 Chapter 23 - Ryuu Lion

This chapter has been translated and edited with DeepL directly from the raw Chinese text. I used to just change a few words or remove repetitions from the mtl, so I hope this version will be more readable. It takes me more time so I'd really appreciate your support!

"This feeling is like upgrading the system up to four levels before I got to level ten."

"However, it will not include prop rewards such as the Magic Medicine Field, Excalibur, and Avalon."

...

"I will bring these potions to Miach."

"We don't have a shop now. Let's take them to Miach first and let him help us sell them. Besides, we can talk to Miach about what we said last night."

"Oh, by the way, I will give Miach some income from the sale of the potion, okay?" In the early morning, Hestia packed up all the potions Aston made last night and then consulted with him.

"That's all for now," said Hestia.

"In two days, I'll rent a shop at the tower of Babel from the guild. You'll run the shop then." Aston nodded and replied.

"Forget about the Tower of Babel. Once we collect enough money, I will go directly to Hephaestus' territory to rent a room from her." Hestia shook her head and refused.

"God Hephaestus' territory is the whole Equipment Street. Is it really a good idea to open a pharmacy there?" Hestia's words made Aston's eyes twitch wildly.

"Well, it's more noticeable that way, isn't it?"

"Think about it, a pharmacy suddenly appears when the entire street is full of equipment shops. It's bound to attract business." Aston's words didn't just fail to change Hestia's mind, they made Hestia even more excited.

"Honestly, I don't know how the circuits in your brain are developed, but if it works for you..." The corner of his eye twitched twice in response, but Aston gave up trying to convince Hestia.

"Then I'll leave the matter to you, it's time for me to leave."

"Ah, be careful on the way."

….

Usually, Aston's trip to the Tower of Babel from home goes very smoothly, and nothing happens along the way.

Since he had just arrived, he hadn't interacted with anyone but Hestia and Eina. However, last night, some gangsters came to Aston looking for trouble.

Today's situation is slightly different.

The shortest route from the Abandoned Church passes by the very popular Hostess of Fertility tavern.

In the last three days, nothing occurred when Aston walked by this place.

But today, when Aston arrived, someone stopped him.

Before, Anya and Chloe were the two cat ladies who cleaned the path in front of the building early in the morning.

But today is different. Today, one of the two cat ladies has been replaced by Syr Flova.

Seeing Syr Flova take the initiative to start a conversation with him, Aston realized that the person in front of him was definitely not Syr Flova, but another being.

The Goddess of Beauty, Freya.

"It's really early for this half-elf guy. He's going to the dungeon so early!"

"Did you take the initiative as soon as you noticed me? It seems like this person really targeted me." Looking at the smiling girl in front of him, Aston thought to himself.

"Ah, I'm just about to enter the dungeon." Aston smiled slightly and replied politely, then nodded and prepared to leave.

"Be careful on the way, little half-elf."

"If you can, please come here for dinner at night." Syr, no, Freya, watched Aston leave directly. Not surprised, she waved her hand and called out.

"I'm not coming." Aston didn't answer, but he was complaining in his heart.

I came here to eat even though you were watching me. Isn't that a sheep going into a tiger's mouth? I'm not stupid.

At this thought, Aston quickened his pace, wanting to get away from Freya and this place of law and injustice as soon as possible.

However, Aston didn't know that a certain green-haired elf carrying a stool was slightly startled when Freya shouted the word "half-elf" and quickly looked outside.

After seeing Aston's figure, the green-haired elf was suddenly startled, and her pupils dilated.

"Found it, the hope of the Astraea Familia!!!" A trembling whisper came out of her lips.

This elf is none other than the last member of the Astraea Familia.

Nicknamed "Gale", she is the waste elf Ryuu Lion of the Astraea Familia.

All this remains unknown to Aston, who is already rushing toward the Tower of Babel at great speed.

This time, Aston didn't go to the Tower of Babel for medicine refills.

While making potions last night, Aston made some potions for his own use.

There are only two kinds, the energy potion to restore physical strength and the spiritual potion to restore spirit.

As for the others, Aston doesn't need them.

The stamina potion is just for nothing, to replenish stamina.

The spiritual potion restores your spirit.

Although Aston has a passive ability to restore magic power, using magic will still consume mental energy. This is the case with magic in this world.

Most of the magic in this world uses mental energy to combine one's own magic with the magic from the outside world, and then uses chanting spells as a medium to combine the magic with the external magic into magic that can be used.

Aston's magic is almost the same, except that Aston has the passive ability to restore magic power, so he is not as dependent on external magic elements.

However, it will still absorb some external magic elements to strengthen its magic power. This is also the principle behind the Fire Ring, which gradually grows larger after being released.

Therefore, whenever Aston consumes magic power, he will also consume spiritual power.

This is also one of the reasons Aston never relied on the resistance ring to upgrade himself.

Using magic all the time is too demanding on one's mental energy.

Although the Void Furnace meditation technique can restore mental energy during meditation, you will not be able to meditate in the dungeon unless someone is guarding you.

With that said, Aston went straight for Goliath as soon as he entered the dungeon.
