However, this period of time cannot be skipped...
Hestia proposed at this moment
"There's an event at the Tower of Babel this afternoon, would you like to go check it out? Or are you planning to explore the dungeon again?"
"We'll explore again once we get the weapons."
Baili was the first to answer.
He planned to go directly to the lower and middle levels after Hephaestus had forged the weapons and the girls were equipped with them.
After all, the experience and test results provided by the higher-ups won't be many.
"Does that mean we can rest now?"
Rias had originally planned to take a stroll around Orario.
"I wonder what kind of entertainment facilities are available here."
Will there be a church?
Mai and Asia also wanted to explore different places.
In any case, Orario is a new world.
"Then let's go."
Hestia looked toward the gate.
Rias, Mai, and Asia also ran to Hyakusuke's side, pulled him up, and hoped that they could play Orario together.
And so, Baili began to spend a leisurely afternoon.
Time flies—
As dusk approached, Baili was the first to return to Hephaestus's shop.
Baili had assumed Hephaestus was busy, but he found the God of Forging drinking at the counter.
She was somewhat surprised to see Baili.
"Didn't Mr. Baili go out to play with Hestia and the others?"
"We originally planned to come back together, but some people said they wanted to buy me a gift, so to make sure there was a surprise, they let me go first."
After Baili answered, Hephaestus poured him a glass of wine and placed it in front of him.
"Please use."
"Thanks."
"This is brewed by me personally."
"It smells nice."
Baili took a sip.
It has a spicy taste, but a wonderful aftertaste; it's quite good.
"Miss Hephaestus, how is the weapon forging progressing?"
"As you can see, I am resting now, and the work process went very smoothly without any unexpected incidents."
Before he finished speaking, another person appeared on the scene.
She was a brown-skinned girl.
She saw Baili and nodded in acknowledgment.
“Mr. Baili, she is the leader of my clan, Chun; Chun, this gentleman is the client for this matter.”
"I am Tsubaki, Tsubaki Kobrand. I am responsible for assisting Lady Hephaestus in this weapon forging. I must say that the tool you brought is very special, containing a great deal of magic power."
Chun was very interested.
He had an expression that said he wanted to know where the dropped items came from.
"The monsters in the dungeons always bring surprises, don't they?"
Baili casually brushed it off.
Chun didn't ask any more questions. She simply told Hephaestus that there were still ten minutes left before re-entering the workshop.
After drinking the wine in her cup, Hephaestus looked at Baili and recalled what had happened before.
"Mr. Baili, what was that sphere you took out earlier? It didn't seem to have any magical aura inside, and it was different from a magic stone, but it was still very intriguing."
"Did you say this?"
Baili took out another sphere constructed from the power of destiny.
He was curious whether the God of Forging in another world could weaponize the power of destiny.
"This is it... Could it also be some kind of raw material?"
"That's right. If Miss Hephaestus can turn it into a weapon, I'm willing to pay more than 10 times the price."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing Baili's words, Hephaestus became interested.
She sat up straight and put down her wine glass.
Is that really true?
"Authenticity guaranteed, but... if it can't be forged..."
Baili pointed to his right eye
"I'd like to see Miss Hephaestus's right eye, because it's very intriguing."
"you……"
Hephaestus was quite surprised to hear this suggestion.
Her bare face beneath the eyepatch over her right eye was terrifying; she had been ridiculed by all the gods except Hestia in the past, and had also frightened her own kin.
Therefore, Hephaestus never lets outsiders see her.
"I've scared a lot of people's faces under my blindfold."
That's why I'm somewhat interested.
Baili did not back down at all.
This surprised Hephaestus once again.
Her gaze fell on the sphere in Baili's hand.
The peculiar aura that intrigued Hephaestus reminded her of some unknown weapons she had seen before.
I don't know its name, but it's incredibly powerful!
to this end……
Hephaestus decided to take a gamble. (For super exciting novels, visit Feilu Novel Network!)
Even without divine power, I can forge powerful and excellent weapons with my current skills.
If we back down now, wouldn't that be denying ourselves?
Hephaestus chose the challenge.
Faced with unknown materials, the forging spirit of the god of forging is burning fiercely.
"make a deal."
"very good."
Baili threw the ball constructed from the power of destiny over.
Hephaestus quickly caught it.
“Let’s go, Mr. Baili. I want you to see with your own eyes what it looks like when I turn it into a weapon.”
"I am looking forward."
Baili stood up and went into the workshop behind the store.
……
……
after a while.
Hephaestus stood with her commander, Chun, staring at the sphere before them.
No matter what forging method was used, the sphere that Baili took out could not be changed in any way.
High temperatures are ineffective;
Molten iron is useless;
Cutting won't help.
“Lady Hephaestus, this ball… Genshin Shoshi’s original is not something we can forge. Its material is too special. Even using magic stone tools, we couldn’t make a mark on its surface.”
"kindness……"
Hephaestus, upon hearing Chun's words, softly expressed his agreement.
The result became quite obvious.
Her challenge failed.
Baili stood beside the God of Forging and the artisan girl.
"Looks like I won my gamble this time."
It's a real shame, though.
Baili still believed that the power of destiny, through the hands of the God of Forging, could truly be transformed into some kind of weapon.
"You won the bet?"
Chun, unaware of the betting scheme, looked puzzled.
"It's nothing... Chun, you keep an eye on the other three weapons. I'm going upstairs to get something. I hope Mr. Baili can help me."
