DanMachi: Starting with a Sword Soul Template

Chapter 150: I Want to Create the Highest-Grade Armament

Freya covered her mouth and chuckled, "There's no need to check. I believe in Sword Soul Liam's character." Liam clapped his hands and signaled his female employees to come forward.

"Prepare a batch of transparent crystal boxes for me and arrange these gold coins neatly inside."

"Yes."

Bell looked at Liam in confusion, "Senior Liam, why is this?"

"Naturally, it's to tell all of Orario in a high-profile way that you have earned three billion Valis from me!

Mr. Lucky Rabbit Bell!"

To be honest, Bell was still a little ashamed. He didn't think his luck was that good.

The reason he won so much before was purely because his luck was a little bit better.

But, to use good luck as his advantage, wasn't that a bit too unreliable?

This made Bell feel that his nickname was somewhat undeserved, so he felt ashamed to be called Lucky Rabbit.

Liam chuckled and then clapped his hands.

Mimicking Syr's action, he focused the gazes of everyone present on himself.

"Not long ago, I was just a gambler. At that time, I only had ten million Valis in stakes.

I have always believed in my good friend, Lucky Rabbit Bell.

So I gave all my stakes to Bell. If he lost, it had nothing to do with him. If he won, he could take a ten percent share of the winnings!"

Liam specifically emphasized the winnings, which was naturally to pave the way for what was to follow.

"I believe some of the gamblers present also witnessed that astonishing strong luck!"

"Our stakes, in this very hall, went from ten million to an astonishing two point nine billion-plus Valis!

And after that, Bell, my friends, and I were invited to the VIP room to participate in a gambling game.

Later, we even won a gambling game with a total of three hundred billion Valis. The final decisive round was won by me.

I defeated Tordo, so I got Golden City Paradise."

Liam pulled Bell to his side, "And Lucky Rabbit Bell naturally received one-tenth of the winnings, a reward of thirty billion Valis!"

The entire first floor of the Grand Casino, all the gamblers' emotions became excited.

"Is this the power of the Lucky Rabbit? It's too ridiculous, isn't it?"

"Lucky Rabbit Bell! I also have ten million Valis here! How about we go fifty-fifty later? If we lose, it's all on me!"

"Lucky Rabbit Bell!..."

The atmosphere on site seemed about to blow the roof off the hall. Every gambler was as excited as if they had been injected with dozens of pounds of chicken blood, trembling!

This time, Liam had obtained the entire Grand Casino. The major financial foundation shortcoming that had troubled the Hestia Familia had also been rectified.

At the very least, for the future development of the Familia, there was no need to consider funding issues anymore.

As long as it was a reasonable expense, such as for weapons and equipment, Liam could help the members of the Familia pay in advance.

He would even sell to them at cost price, or in installments, and so on.

After the emotions of the crowd on site had calmed down a bit, Liam dropped a second bombshell.

"In the future, the profit model of the Grand Casino will be a rake. That is, we will only take one percent of the winning chips from each game.

And the winner will receive ninety-nine percent of the chips on the table in each game!

And, the Grand Casino will then conduct security cooperation with many powerful Familias.

The security team of Golden City Paradise welcomes all powerful, capable, and reputable adventurers to apply, either part-time or full-time!

The security captain will naturally be me, and the vice-captain, the full-time monthly salary will be thirty million Valis! The part-time monthly salary will be ten million!

Part-time team members, monthly salary of one million Valis! Full-time monthly salary of three million Valis!"

This price naturally far exceeded the standard security salary in all of Orario.

On Liam's side, the total amount of gold in the treasury was about one hundred billion Valis.

The cash Valis was about twenty billion.

Tordo was very fond of gold, so the bulk of his profits over the years was used by him to build the treasury and was exchanged for pure gold coins.

In the previous Golden City Paradise, the betting method was that the operator was responsible for being the banker. As long as a gambler won, the banker had to make up for the shortage of chips in the game.

For example, with odds of one to ten, if a gambler bet one hundred gold coins, he should be able to earn nine hundred gold coins.

But if the whole game, including the gambler's one hundred, only had six hundred gold coins, then the banker would have to make up the remaining four hundred.

And now, if a whole game only has six hundred gold coins, Liam's group will take six gold coins as a rake from it.

Then the gambler will get the remaining five hundred and ninety-four.

Although this way won't make a big profit, his Golden City Paradise will never lose.

And it also effectively avoids lucky people like Lucky Rabbit Bell, who are like cheaters.

Freya came before Liam with a smiling face and bowed to him.

"Our Bell has really received very precious help from you. I will remember this favor."

Liam smiled, "He and I are very good friends, Lady Goddess."

"It's great that Bell has a friend like you."

In the four carts, each contained three crystal boxes filled with gold coins.

Freya led her Familia, and the Familia members pushing the four carts, away from the casino.

Watching Bell and the others leave, pushing the twelve crystal boxes filled with gold coins.

The matter here could be considered to have come to an end.

He thought that on their way back to their Familia home, it would cause an astonishing sensation.

Liam had arranged for a full twenty female employees to create a high-profile scene for their return.

The bigger the spectacle, the better.

Red carpet, fresh flowers, and the Ganesha Familia members, hired at a high price to maintain discipline.

Now that Liam and his group were not short of money, then the insufficient manpower would be smashed out with money.

Looking at the guests in the casino who were still looking at him expectantly, Liam smiled.

"What are you all still waiting for?"

"Mr. Liam, may I ask when you will be holding the recruitment for security personnel?"

Right, there were too many things just now, to the extent that Liam forgot to announce the location and time for recruiting security personnel.

It was like in his previous life, those developed countries, when their own military strength was insufficient but they were not short of money.

Or when they needed to carry out special missions abroad, mercenaries were a very popular and useful force.

"Tomorrow at nine in the morning on the lawn of The Hearthfire Manor for recruitment. Then, the minimum requirement for full-time or part-time vice-captains is Lv3.

Full-time or part-time team members, the minimum requirement is Lv2. Then, those with strong strength, good reputation, and no criminal record such as murder will be given priority."

When Liam announced the recruitment conditions, some adventurers with low strength naturally wailed.

But after learning from the last recruitment incident, these adventurers with low strength also understood one thing:

That was to absolutely not offend Liam! Didn't you see, even the operator of the Grand Casino, which had a transcendent status in Orario, was slaughtered?

Some smart people had already connected this Golden City Paradise incident with the previous Apollo War Game.

It seemed that this time it was also orchestrated by Liam!

"Next, I'll go prepare the armament."

He only had five days, and now there were only a little more than four and a half days left.

Carrying the materials from the two-headed dragon and some large-denomination Valis banknotes, Liam thought of Miss Eina. He remembered that he had contacted Miss Eina before about making an appointment to forge a First-Grade armament.

So what now?

Could the Goibniu Familia forge a weapon for him?

The Sword Soul class, although they could use a tree branch as a weapon in battle.

But after using a divine weapon, the power would be even greater and have an astonishing amplification.

The same power, how could the power of a fist and a divine weapon be the same?

Liam clearly remembered that the first awakening of a Sword Soul was to summon twenty-four sharp blades and form a sword formation domain of condensed sword aura.

So, did he need to prepare twenty-four sharp blades?

If he really had to prepare, could it be that he had to prepare twenty-four different types of cold weapon blades, swords, and blunt weapons?

Now, Liam for a time only thought of the seven weapons of the Seven Sins.

Eight-sided Han Jian, Tang-style curved saber, Zhanmadao, Katana, Claymore, Yatagan, "Neon" Wakizashi.

That's right, a Sword Soul is a weapon master.

To become a Sword Saint, one naturally had to find a way to master every kind of cold weapon blade and sword.

So, what exactly was the awakening quest?

What was the ultimate of swordsmanship?

Unconsciously, the contemplating Liam had already arrived at the entrance of the Adventurer's Guild.

He came to the vicinity of the Guild service window and approached Eina, who was still working.

"Miss Eina."

"Liam! You're here? Come sit here. We have new tea here. Would you like some?"

Eina was writing documents with her head down. Upon seeing that the visitor was actually Liam, her face immediately changed from sorrowful to a brilliant smile.

"Alright."

After receiving Liam into a private room of the Guild VIP room, Eina gently closed the main door.

The current Liam had already accumulated enough prestige, and had even become the operator of the Grand Casino.

Now, Liam was fully qualified to sit in the VIP room.

Her mood became extremely good because of Liam's arrival. Humming a little tune, she placed the brewed tea on Liam's table.

"I really didn't expect, Liam-kun, that you could become the operator of the Grand Casino! You are truly amazing."

"Actually, I'm just an agent. Golden City Paradise is the asset of the entire Hestia Familia.

And the entire casino belongs to Goddess Hestia."

To be able to slay a two-headed dragon with Lv3 strength was naturally due to the combination of his template and adventurer level.

Therefore, for him, Hestia updating his level and ability scores was the highest priority.

But, you are the actual manager.

Miss Eina grumbled in her heart. She didn't directly say this kind of thing so clearly.

She sized up the current Liam, a smile on her face. "You came this time to make an appointment with the Goibniu Familia?

I used a little bit of internal connections, so this time I successfully got in touch with the Goibniu Familia."

Liam's eyes lit up. His luck was indeed very good.

It seemed that this time he could successfully commission a forging.

A true First-Grade armament of his own!

"Eina, well done! I knew you could do it! I'll treat you to dinner later tonight!"

Eina laughed, "Really? You won't use me as a tool person this time?"

Liam shook his head, "After I place the forging commission, I'll be free. So there's plenty of time..."

"I see. Then let's go. Directly to the Goibniu Familia's home base.

Did you know, Liam? The god Goibniu is very interested in you."

Goibniu?

The image of the god Goibniu immediately appeared in Liam's mind.

That was an old man with long gray hair. Because he spent many years by the furnace, his upper garment was always tied around his body.

"No problem."

Goibniu is actually interested in him?

He remembered that this god was the type who was engrossed in the field of forging.

He should be the type who didn't pay much attention to outside news. Liam vaguely had some ideas in his heart.

The most important thing now was to prepare at least two First-Grade armament blades.

It would be best to forge two of the highest-grade, and of the never-wearing type.

Subsequently, a new idea appeared in Liam's mind.

Blunt weapon, short sword, tachi, greatsword, and the never-before-seen light saber.

At least the first four, Goibniu should be able to forge.

He thought of Fenrir's Six Forms from a certain XX Fantasy, six weapons that could be separated or combined into one weapon.

This was quite in line with Liam's expectations.

Subsequently, Liam and Eina came before Goibniu.

Here was a living room filled with weapons.

The old man looked Liam up and down, "You are Sword Soul Liam? I've heard a lot about you from Tsubaki."

"Yes, I am."

Hearing Liam's confirmation, Goibniu's eyes lit up.

The stern old man showed a look of desire, impatiently coming before Liam.

"Um, can you perform that again? That is, the one that can increase a weapon's sharpness."

Liam nodded. This was something that could be demonstrated.

He picked up a dinner knife from the reception table and infused his Selfless Sword Aura into it.

They only saw the originally unremarkable dinner knife, at this time, actually emit waves of sword cries.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."

The sound was crisp, as if the dinner knife itself was also eager to burn its life, to engage in a life-exhausting battle.

Goibniu's eyes widened, "This, this, this! You, you, how did you do it?"

Increasing a weapon's sharpness, this skill was not particularly rare in Orario.

But to be able to achieve such an astonishing amplification, there was absolutely no second person in all of Orario!

Unlike when he first used Selfless Sword Aura, Liam's current understanding of Selfless Sword Aura had once again climbed to a new height.

Even with a mundane object, after infusing Selfless Sword Aura, he could also very finely maintain the weapon's own durability, so that it would not be damaged too quickly.

Of course, this naturally also included the amplification from Weapon Tempering.

Because of this skill, his fine use of weapons and his ability to feel the subtle condition of weapons had all improved by a level.

"This is my skill. I infused my sword aura into the weapon, so the weapon can, at the cost of consuming durability, greatly amplify its sharpness and strength for a short time."

"I see. So you came to forge an armament with an indestructible attribute?"

"Yes! I want to commission the forging of twenty-four of the highest-grade armaments with the indestructible attribute!"
