Chapter 99: The Idea of Upgrading Weapons!
The "Hestia Familia" was on a compulsory expedition, and even the money to hire a support Familia was borrowed by their own goddess. Now, seeing Liam at the weapon shop's entrance.
It meant the Familia expedition had successfully concluded. Tsubaki looked at the young man before her, unchanged, yet every movement flowed with sword momentum.
It was probably that…
His swordsmanship had improved!
When she opened the handed-over short sword, drawing the weapon whose quality she had personally forged and improved, the sword aura that rushed to meet her confirmed her thoughts.
"."
But when Tsubaki noticed that the surface of the entirely dark short sword was already showing spiderweb-like cracks, her eyelids twitched wildly.
Improving a weapon's quality, the goal was, of course, to unleash greater power.
Secondly, a tougher material could extend the short sword's usage time. The result was that after adding so many expensive materials.
The weapon's usage time had actually decreased…
Even more, the durability issue was even more exaggerated than the last time the weapon was repaired.
That it could remain intact now was purely because of the sword intent suffusing the short sword, which maintained the weapon's original form.
She didn't even dare to swing it forcefully, worried that this already shattered weapon would completely break in her hands!
"."
"Your sword style, is it the same as the Sword Princess's?"
Looking up at Liam, Tsubaki's eyes were complicated. The only other person she could think of who destroyed weapons like this was the Sword Princess, Ais Wallenstein.
She didn't think this guy was doing it on purpose.
After all, some techniques, for the powerful destructive force they obtained, would greatly consume a weapon's lifespan!
She purely couldn't figure it out. To get a weapon to this shattered state in such a short time, was this something a human could even do?
Facing Tsubaki's extremely complicated gaze, Liam didn't flinch. From an objective point of view, the styles were indeed not that different.
It was just that the former, Ais, inadvertently damaged her weapon during battle.
He, on the other hand, when facing the floor lord Goliath, worried that his weapon couldn't inflict damage and actively used a weapon effect!
But this answer, he certainly couldn't proactively reveal.
After a moment of silence, Liam explained, "Something like that. It's also a combat style that accelerates the consumption of a weapon's lifespan."
"...Alright."
Repairing the weapon for free was a promise Tsubaki had made to Liam, and also her own goddess's help to her close friend, Hestia.
It was just a simple weapon repair, no extra materials needed.
She didn't find this matter difficult. A casual task, and it would be best if she could figure out the reason for the weapon's reduced lifespan.
"Leave it to me."
"Also, congratulations." For the matter that had caused a sensation throughout Orario, and even the world, looking at the black-haired young man before her.
Tsubaki's tone was somewhat annoyed, but it was more of a congratulation to Liam.
Even with her own strength at Lv5, to achieve a world-shaking feat like Liam's at his current age?
That was absolutely impossible!
Consider it having personally witnessed Liam's path of growth. Helping him repair his weapon now could barely be considered an investment?
"Thank you, Senior Tsubaki."
If not for Tsubaki, the smith from the "Hephaestus Familia," repairing his weapon for free, otherwise…
Liam didn't dare to imagine how huge the expense would be. He watched the mature and charming figure depart.
Now, he had to consider the matter of weapons. Just as Tsubaki had said, the "Sword Princess" Ais's special combat style.
Also easily caused weapons to shatter. Her solution was…
To pay an enormous sum of Valis, find the Goibniu Familia, and custom-order a weapon with the "indestructible" characteristic.
"Seems like there's no other way…"
His own goddess, Hestia, had already started working. After handing the weapon repair over to Tsubaki, Liam didn't linger in Babel.
He couldn't trouble Tsubaki every time he needed to repair his weapon, right?
Ais-tan's "Desperate" sword sacrificed power in exchange for being indestructible. And even though it had the indestructible attribute.
It probably just meant its durability was relatively higher?
"If I could custom-order a... weapon with extremely high durability and reduced power, that would also be good."
Relying on the buffs from his numerous skills like "Selfless Sword Aura" and "Overdrive," damage was not something he needed to worry about.
Leaving the upper area of Babel, Liam's next goal was very clear.
That was to head to the Adventurer's Guild to report his safety to the Guild employee, Miss Eina. After all, before he left.
The half-elf, who had helped him out of goodwill, had provided him with a suit of armor. "After a few days of appropriate rest, it'll be about time to continue the Dungeon adventure." Liam's gaze left Babel.
Already extremely familiar with Orario, he headed with a clear goal towards the Guild home base.
It was just that when passing a flower shop, his steps paused slightly. Consider it a formal meeting; sending a gift was also very reasonable.
And just then, a young woman sitting on a chair arranging a bouquet looked up, her smile exceptionally bright as she proactively stood up.
"Sir, may I ask what type of flower you would like?"
Noticing Liam didn't reply, the young woman immediately rephrased, "Or should I say, who do you want to give this bouquet to?"
"A relatively good friend."
The young woman's second reminder interrupted Liam's thoughts. The main reason was that this young woman's appearance was really beautiful.
Long, slightly curled golden hair fell naturally on her shoulders, her smile exceptionally clear and bright.
As a flower shop employee, helping customers choose a suitable type of bouquet was also within Anna Crece's scope of work.
Finally, after selecting a bouquet of light-colored flowers whose names he didn't know.
She tilted her head slightly and said with a smile, "The total is 150 Valis. Thank you for your patronage, sir. If you need home delivery."
"You can also find me directly. Just call me Anna~"
"Alright, I'll find you if I need to."
Regarding flower-giving, Liam didn't really have a clear concept. The price wasn't expensive, and its appearance was passable.
That was already enough.
After the compulsory Familia expedition ended, Lili proactively took the initiative to go to the Guild from their somewhat dilapidated Guild home base.
To report the end of the expedition and exchange materials.
She considered her relationship with Liam to be not bad, but she was also the ultimate cause of the "compulsory expedition."
Newly joined the Familia, being more active would always win the god's favor.
The Adventurer's Guild in the morning wasn't particularly bustling. This time, the one who received Lili was the pink-haired young woman, Misha.
"May I help you with anything?"
"Reporting the final situation of the compulsory Familia expedition and submitting the items required for Guild review." Lili's attitude was calm and steady.
She took off the hood worn on her head and looked up at the staff member before her.
"Compulsory Familia expedition... which Familia?" Misha had many things to deal with every day and felt it was somewhat familiar.
But she couldn't quite remember for a short time.
"The Hestia Familia."
"???"
Misha's still somewhat confused eyes instantly became alert upon hearing the name "Hestia Familia."
The Pallum supporter before her, she indeed didn't recognize.
But the other member of the Hestia Familia, Liam Moon – if she, as an Adventurer's Guild employee, didn't know his identity…
That would be pure incompetence!
The young woman couldn't help but frown, carefully verifying, "Is it the Hestia Familia that Liam is in that has completed the compulsory expedition?"
"Is there any other Liam?"
The questioned young woman's smile was bright.
"No, no... I don't have the authority to handle this matter. Please wait a moment. I'll go find President Royman first."
Misha waved her hands hurriedly. It was only when she turned to find President Royman that her dazed mind gradually came back to her senses.
If she remembered correctly…
The compulsory Familia expedition was 7 days ago. Setting aside the return trip time, a newly founded Familia could, in such a short time…
Push their conquest progress to the deepest part of the middle Dungeon?!
How they did it, she couldn't quite figure out. But if it was that "world-record-breaking" Sword Soul, Liam Moon.
Suddenly, she felt it was very reasonable?
"No..."
"I have to tell Eina the news first!"
