Chapter 346: Holy Fire Blade, Entering the Dungeon!

"He can't stay here with you to forge iron, or Hestia will fight me hard."

Hephaestus smiled.

This was the first time that she had seen her divine friend attach so much importance to a mortal, even though this guy was worthy of making all the gods crazy.

But Hestia wasn't one of those wanton goddesses who spread her legs when they saw a "hero".

Unlike Hephaestus, she was rejected by the gods and heroes because of her "ugly appearance".

So much so that I have almost no thought of falling in love.

Hestia's appearance is also among the best among the gods.

However, Hestia, who likes to stay at home, has never met a god... or a person who can really make her fall in love.

"However, if Luke is willing to change his religion, the Hephaestus Familia will very much welcome you to join."

She then added.

Obviously, Hephaestus was not completely uneasy about the fact that her divine friend, who had been together for hundreds of millions of years, could pick up a "hero" for nothing.

There is definitely jealousy.

Especially when he thought about Hestia, who had been eating and drinking in her own clan for several years, and was kicked out of her "home" because she couldn't stand the stupid behavior of her god friend.

Originally, Hephaestus planned to let Hestia train outside for a while and understand the meaning of "life is hard."

As a result, Hestia had spent only a few months frying potato balls, and then she changed hands and accepted a "hero" into the Familia.

With this kind of luck, even a god like Hephaestus who has been friends with Hestia for hundreds of millions of years will inevitably have some small thoughts.

It's just that Hephaestus's personal moral bottom line is extremely high, and it can even be said that it has raised the moral bottom line of the gods as a whole to a higher level, so she was just joking verbally.

You know, a certain goddess of beauty from Orario's most powerful family came to visit in person and wanted to taste the "beauty" of this hero.

Although he was dragged away by the furious Hestia for a long time, he failed in the end.

However, it is worth mentioning that there are still many goddesses who say that "they have learned Luke's favorite posture from Ishtar and can try it with her at any time."

Regarding this, Hephaestus can confirm that it is not a rumor, but a fact.

Judging from the bottomless integrity of the Orario gods, the goddesses really went to Ishtar to discuss the matter, and they might even get together to practice for a few days and nights.

Anyway, with the physique of a god, as long as it is not a fatal injury that causes the divine power to automatically break through the seal, you can do whatever you want.

Besides, with their long lives of hundreds of millions of years, what postures can't they practice?

Those miserable days in heaven are over.

After entering the lower realm, although the gods tempered their personalities a little because of the family game, it was only a little bit...

That is because Luke's moral bottom line has not declined along with these crazy goddesses, otherwise his friend Hestia might have to wear countless brightly colored hats for no reason.

But, Hestia, if you don’t take action...

Not only the goddess Orario, but also me...

Hephaestus pursed her lips.

"Hestia has been good to me."

Luke picked up the scabbard.

It is different from Bei Bunny’s small dagger in the original timeline.

What Hephaestus forged for Luke is a horizontal sword. After completing the world of One Piece, Luke's swordsmanship, physical skills, Haki, and Devil Fruit have all reached the top.

The Neon people have been indistinguishable from swords since ancient times.

Navy Luke's horizontal sword is a horizontal sword that was fused to Im's saber and then tempered with his own domineering power.

A supremely sharp knife whose hardness and sharpness are far beyond ordinary.

Even now in the dungeon, Luke has a little understanding of the way of the sword.

Seeing that Luke didn't answer anything, Hephaestus didn't think much.

Heroes originally value friendship and love.

Thousands of years ago, there were many ancient heroes who burst out unprecedented miracles through friendship. Some heroes even dared to swing their swords at the evil god for the sake of love.

Although the hero was finally taken away by the evil god who had no choice but to release his divine power, the dazzling brilliance that bloomed before his death was enough to rank among the top ten in the eyes of the gods.

Hephaestus was trying to hit a stick and try to land a date.

What if Luke agrees...

If Luke loses his mind and goes crazy, she will not treat her godly friend badly when it happens. At worst, the entire Hephaestus family will fully support Hestia.

A hero in exchange for one of Orario's top logistical dependents.

Hestia is not too bad...

"Let's take a look. The weapons enchanted with Hestia's divine blood and spent a lot of mithril are as good as the adventurers' first-level equipment."

"It has immortal attributes and can absorb the experience of monsters to grow continuously."

As he spoke, Hephaestus lightly touched the blade with her fingers.

"Perhaps, after you complete the three adventurer missions, it will evolve with you and become the most powerful weapon."

Hephaestus sounded proud.

For a craftsman like her, it took a lot of effort to create a "pseudo-artifact" that could grow from materials from the lower world.

After all, gods living in the lower world cannot use their divine power to "cheat".

"I will give you the remaining balance tomorrow. Thank you very much, Lord Hephaestus."

Luke held the handle of the knife and sheathed it.

"Don't you want to give me a name?"

Hephaestus didn't care when Luke would pay.

With Luke's strength, even if he didn't have any money, he could go to the dungeon today and make up the balance tomorrow.

Moreover, even if Luke refused to pay the knife, Hephaestus would be happy.

Just think of it as an early investment.

Such investment is not only Luke, but most of the potential adventurers in Orario have received some discounts from the Hephaestus family to a greater or lesser extent.

This is also the consensus of most logistics-type families.

After all, the adventurers on the front line are fighting hard to destroy monsters and better protect Orario.

Whether it is a low-level adventurer or a high-level adventurer, every time they enter the dungeon, they need a lot of supplies.

Weapons, armor, food, potions...

These expenses are necessary for adventurers.

And the higher the level of the adventurer, the more expensive the logistics expenses.

For example, in the original novel, if Loki's sword lady Aisi wanted to maintain her weapons, she would have to spend millions of fares, and the repair would cost tens of millions of fares.

The weapons alone were so overpriced, not to mention other aspects.

A bottle of Mihe family recovery potion costs 400,000, and a water elf cloth costs 110,000...

There are cheaper ones, Mihe's two-physical recovery and one-spirit recovery potion set costs 9,000, and the novice set guild light equipment costs 5,000.

With such expenses, most adventurers can basically not save much money.

This is the result of the Orario logistics family reducing the selling price as much as possible.

Moreover, in this situation where the entire Orario serves adventurers, there are still countless adventurer teams that die in the dungeon every day.

This also makes many gods disappointed with the creatures in the lower world.

After all, the more carefully they take care of them, the weaker they become.

Even the most promising Zeus and Hera families, after completing the two major adventurer missions, ended up in a miserable defeat in the final challenge to the one-eyed black dragon.

Zeus and Hera families have no hope, and now the weaker Freya and Loki families naturally have no hope.

So many gods are now immersed in enjoyment again, and have a tendency to return to the absurd period of the game of the gods in heaven.

Fortunately, there is Luke now.

The lower world is not without hope. New heroes have been born. The future of Orario will surely usher in the glorious era of the hero pool.

Hephaestus put his hands behind his back and looked at the newly-born hero.

"Let's call him... the Blade of the Holy Fire."

Holy Fire, the Blade of Hestia?

Really... a loyal hero...

As expected, Hephaestus couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

How could Hestia, that freeloader, kidnap such a cute child?

Should she also ask the owner of the fried potato balls for the private recipe?

After all, Hephaestus is also a fire player, maybe the result will be more delicious and attract heroes to join her?

Hephaestus had many distracting thoughts in her mind, but on the surface she remained calm and smiled.

"It's a good name, I'll leave it to you, I hope to hear its reputation in the heaven in the future."

Hephaestus gave her blessings.

There are rumors that if grace can be developed to the extreme, it may really be possible to cultivate a new god.

After all, there were adventurers who had once trained one of the development abilities of grace to the extreme, and thus refined the magic tool "Philosopher's Stone" that can manifest eternal life.

In this way, one of the characteristics of the gods has been obtained, immortality.

Although this only Philosopher's Stone was broken by the careless Lord God, no one has tried the specific effect.

Hephaestus said this, and she was also looking forward to whether this hero could reach the limit of grace, and be elevated from a human to a god. After hundreds of thousands of years, they can meet again in heaven.

"Thank you for your good wishes, Lord Hephaestus."

"Tsubaki, no need to see you off. You should be busy recruiting new members. I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

Luke waved his hand.

Tsubaki nodded carelessly.

As the leader of the Hephaestus Familia, recruiting new members is just a small matter in her daily work. She also has to take a lot of blacksmiths to forge iron every day.

There are only a few families in Orario who forge.

Only the Hephaestus Familia and the Gubokbutton Familia have good forging technology.

Moreover, the latter is extremely small in size and takes the route of precision craftsmanship.

This also leads to a terrifying amount of equipment that the Hephaestus Familia has to forge.

That is, because the Lord God of the family repeatedly reminded her to treat Luke well and not to neglect the hero, Tsubaki chose to leave the group of newcomers and bring Luke here.

"Lord God, won't you tell him that the Holy Fire Blade has hidden abilities?"

After waiting for Luke to walk away, Chun turned to look at her own Lord God Hephaestus.

"I remember that Lord God, you also melted your hair at that time... woo woo..."

Halfway through her words, Chun was covered by Hephaestus's mouth.

"Chun, don't ask if you shouldn't ask..."

Hephaestus smiled very gently.

This God of Craftsmen, whose temperament is more like a beauty in men's clothing, faintly exuded a murderous aura.

Chun widened his eyes and shook his head frantically.

No questions.

Definitely not!

Hephaestus then let go of her hand, and Chun gasped heavily.

The old dwarves who were originally very active around them were all watching their noses and hearts, and they lowered their heads to carefully ponder the steel in their hands, as if it was covered with some kind of magic runes.

Chun, it's not that the old men don't save people.

It's that the old men know in their hearts who is the real head of this family...

The old dwarf lowered his head honestly.

Hephaestus patted Chun's shoulder with satisfaction. After all, this is her own leader. She still understands the principle of giving a sweet date after a stick.

"Let's go, Chun, let me see how the finished product you made recently is..."

Chun's eyes lit up.

Hurry up and catch up with her own main god.

This opportunity to be guided by a private god is also a rare thing for her as a leader.

After all, Hephaestus squats in the forge to smelt equipment almost every day.

If Hephaestus makes one more piece of equipment, it is possible that one more adventurer will survive.

No wonder the gods think that Hephaestus and Hestia are both outliers among the gods. With this dedicated attitude, it is hard to regard Hephaestus as the same species as the group of gods who spend all day drinking and partying at the festival and feast.

Of course, who says that honest gods can't have their own little ideas?

Hephaestus' eyes flickered. Hestia was her good friend. It was understandable that she used her friend's "child" to help her a little...

Besides, she didn't give "money".

The flame contained in that weapon was not weaker than the flame of the god of fire...

...

Underground city.

The labyrinth that suddenly appeared in the underworld three thousand years ago is one of the three secret realms in the world.

In the era when the gods had not yet descended and humans had not received grace, monsters from the underground city could invade the ground unscrupulously.

The monsters that invaded the ground multiplied on the ground after leaving the underground city, gave birth to offspring, and made monsters appear everywhere in the world except the underground city.

Until now, the monsters that invaded the ground have not been eliminated.

And now, the construction of the labyrinth city of Orario has made this underground city a place for adventurers to train.

Only here can adventurers train, upgrade, and complete their own great deeds.

Just like... now!

He kicked the ground violently, and with a bang, some stone chips were splashed, and the stone chips were ejected around like frightened insects, hitting the stone wall with a crackling explosion.

In mid-air, he tightly grasped the handle of the knife, and the veins on his arms bulged, like a winding dragon, and the bulging muscle lines were clear, showing the tremendous power he had gathered at this moment.

"Shua——"

Accompanied by a sharp whistle that cut through the air, he slashed at Goliath with thunderous force.

The blade rubbed against the air violently, and it actually wiped out a few sparks, like a burning line of fire, cutting straight towards Goliath's extremely hard rock body.

Without any hindrance, the sharp blade cut through the huge rock body with unstoppable force, cutting through it as easily as cutting tofu.

Wherever it passed, the rocks shattered and turned into dust and scattered.

Boom——

Goliath's body, which was cut in half, fell heavily to the ground one after another, and the whole ground shook violently, as if a small earthquake had occurred.

"It can easily cut through Goliath's body before it evolves. It's much stronger than I thought..."

Luke put away the knife and continued to walk down.

Goliath was just an appetizer. The monster he had to deal with today had to go a long way down... (End of this chapter)
