As the number of floors increases, the time and energy adventurers need to spend also increases exponentially.
Maybe it only takes your team half a day to break into the deep layer from the upper layer.
But after entering the deeper layer, it may take half a day to advance one level.
If you want to go deeper, it may take longer.
Of course, for many teams, it would take several days just to break into the lower level.
After all, there are only a handful of adventurers who can complete the journey back and forth within a day like Emiya Shirou.
The food a team carries cannot last for long.
As the number of supporters increases, it also means that adventurers need to put more energy into protecting the supporters.
But human energy is limited, so it is difficult for one person to take on the responsibility of protecting and supporting others.
It would be better to let some adventurers be responsible for protecting the supporters.
Thus, the expedition was born.
Because the levels are very deep, the team often needs to set up camp on the dangerous monster level.
Except for the arena, monsters in each area of each floor have refresh times.
Basically, after clearing the monsters in the current area, there will be a period of time when no new monsters will spawn in this area.
This is basically the rest time that adventurers can have.
But for Shirou Emiya, the monsters on the lower floor would run directly to his floor, so the rest time was very short.
As the number of layers increases, the time consumed to pass each layer also increases.
Then the time required to camp will also be longer.
More things will be needed.
Be it food or anything else.
And the more food you need to carry, the more supporters you will need.
The more supporters you need, the more adventurers you need to provide protection.
One clan member alone is not enough, so more adventurers will be recruited to expedition to deeper levels together.
Although the main force that reaches deeper levels are those of higher levels.
Generally speaking, it is called the strategy group.
The main role of the other adventurers is to protect the supporters who are responsible for carrying the items.
People in the strategy group basically won't attack monsters before they reach the level they need.
Instead, leave those monsters to other adventurers to clean up.
On the one hand, it saves physical strength and magic power, and on the other hand, it naturally allows adventurers to get sufficient exercise.
With higher-level adventurers to back them up, the degree of crisis would be greatly reduced.
There will also be many adventurers joining the expedition team for reasons.
Of course, most of the people going on the expedition are old friends, but there will be a few new faces joining in.
New faces need to be tested before they can join the expedition team.
No one wants the entire expedition team to be in danger because of an adventurer from another clan who disobeys orders.
Compared with strength, Finn would naturally choose people who are more likely to obey orders.
Of course, it would be better if they could obey orders and had the ability.
For the sake of everyone's life, the personnel going on the expedition also need to be strictly selected.
Hephaestus's Tsubaki is also a LV5 adventurer who often goes on expeditions with Loki's family.
Today, a stranger appeared in Loki's base.
"Excuse me, is this the Loki clan?"
Emiya Shirou politely asked the two guards standing at the door.
It can only be said that it is one of the largest and strongest factions in the entire Orario. Whether it is the area of its base or its level of luxury, it can be said to be top-notch.
There were even two guards at the door.
For example, the entrance to the Soma clan was empty, with nothing but an iron gate.
"This is Loki's family, what can I do for you?"
One of the guards also answered Emiya Shirou very politely.
"I'm here to join the expedition—"
"Supporter or adventurer?"
Although supporters are also adventurers, they do not participate in the battle, so the guards habitually address them separately.
"Adventurer"
"Come in, go to the left, there is a large courtyard over there, it is the place to recruit adventurers--"
The guard nodded and motioned for Emiya Shirou to come in.
Although most of the people participating in the expedition are familiar faces, it does not mean that there will be no new faces joining the expedition.
Participating in an expedition is an opportunity to see monsters at deeper levels, an opportunity to get a close look at the battles of higher-level adventurers, and an opportunity to explore deeper into the dungeon while ensuring safety.
What's more, there are so many people in Orario, and there will be a growing number of adventurers.
Moreover, because it is a team formed by various clans, not all of them are from the same clan, so there will be changes in people every time you go on an expedition to the dungeon.
Some did not have time, some gave up on exploring deeper levels, and some were still exploring the dungeon when the expedition was formed.
Of course, the number is generally not large, and most adventurers have time to join the expedition.
Although there are always new people joining in every exploration, there won’t be many.
The more new people there are, the more time it takes to get used to each other.
Therefore, it would certainly be better if we could reduce the number of new faces.
As an extremely vast arena-like courtyard appeared before his eyes, a voice with a very indifferent tone came from the side of Emiya Shirou.
"Next!"
She was a short-haired girl with healthy wheat-colored skin, no trace of gloom on her face, and a very optimistic personality. She was dressed like a dancer.
Her upper body was covered only by a thin piece of cloth covering her chest.
She had a long skirt wrapped around her waist, exposing her graceful body without any reservation.
Chapter 462: Fight First
"Name--"
"Shirou Emiya"
"gender--"
"You should be able to tell, right?"
"age--"
"16 years old"
"The deepest level you can break into is——"
"38th Floor"
"Family——"
"none"
"grade--"
"none"
"Wait? Something seems wrong?"
As if it was a routine matter, the girl held the list in her hand and asked for information about Emiya Shirou.
This job must be very boring for a girl who looks so lively.
Rather than staying here, she wanted to go shopping with Ai Si.
But expedition is a very important thing. Compared with simply knowing a person from information, meeting him/her can help you make a better judgment, just like an interview.
Even if the panel praises the product to the sky, it is not as good as seeing it in person.
Of course, there is no other reason why she can stay here peacefully. The person who is responsible for reviewing the supporters on the other side is her sister.
This happened to be a two-person job, so when her sister accepted the task assigned by Captain Finn, she naturally accepted it as well.
The adventurers who are responsible for protecting the supporters are generally Lv3 or LV4.
Going deeper, the weakest monsters are all level 4.
In fact, many supporters in the expedition team are at level 2 or 3.
When exploring deep layers, if the supporters have no power to protect themselves, accidents are very likely to occur.
As the leader, Finn naturally needs to be responsible for the entire group and will not take over all adventurers and supporters.
"Are you the adventurer who did not accept the gift?"
She seemed to realize something and finally raised her head to look at Emiya Shirou who was standing in front of her.
"Emmmm, it should be me, if there are no other adventurers who haven't received the gift."
"Ha! I've long since grown tired of Apollo's Familia! Well done!"
The girl stood up carelessly and patted Emiya Shirou's shoulder without hesitation. From a distance, she looked like an old acquaintance of Emiya Shirou.
"No, I just want to help those lower-level adventurers."
“It’s quite remarkable to be able to do this!”
The girl praised Shirou Emiya generously, saying that he was very courageous as he was able to confront the gods head-on without any support from them.
Even she herself did not dare to take action against a god when Loki would definitely support her.
"My name is Diona, nice to meet you!"
Tiona smiled and shook Emiya Shirou's hand carelessly.
"So you plan to join our expedition?"
"Yes!"
Emiya Shirou nodded affirmatively.
He is not short of money now, he just wants to see what the deeper dungeons are like.
The money I have earned from the level I have reached now is almost enough to buy a mansion.
In addition to the income that Shirou Emiya earns from exploring the dungeon, there is also the income that Shirou Emiya earns from selling weapons.
As his fame grew, so did the weapons he made.
In addition, the craftsmanship quality is also very high, and it was sold out in a very short time.
Of course Hephaestus would not make money from Shirou Emiya for nothing. All the weapons that Shirou Emiya had previously sold were used to offset the materials used by Shirou Emiya forging weapons.
Hephaestus basically only takes 10% of the current income, and gives the rest to Shirou Emiya.
Shirou Emiya has no other expenses except for forging, and every time he explores a dungeon, he gets several times more magic crystals than adventurers of the same level.
In just over a month, Shirou Emiya's funds had already exceeded 100 million.
"38th floor——"
"What level of adventurers are usually in your group?"
Tiona shook her pen and thought.
Since Shirou Emiya has no gifts, it is difficult to judge the level of his strength.
