Is there something wrong with playing Genshin Impact in the dungeon?

Barbara cleared her throat and mimicked, "Respected Mr. Dongfang Lingshu, although I know you are not yet a parent, and haven't even found a girlfriend..."

"..."

It's none of your business.

Ling Shu felt as if he had been shot in the knee without his knowledge.

Barbara continued, mimicking the words, "...but I believe that you are so understanding, you should be able to understand a mother's feelings about her child's growth."

"so……"

"I hope that when Klee goes to 'the other world (Orario)' to start a new life, she can stay in a large family with a suitable environment and learn new knowledge properly."

"Based on the information brought back by our friends from Mengdi, I believe that the 'Loki Familia' is undoubtedly the most suitable destination."

"Because I believe that Ms. Riveria clearly possesses extremely reliable educational abilities."

"Please convey my regards to that venerable elven royalty."

"Thank you!"

At this point...

"Whoo~"

Barbara breathed a sigh of relief. She wasn't very good at... no, she was very good at mimicking other people's tone and mannerisms, mostly due to her professional skills.

but……

"Mr. Ling Shu, there are some things I can't say here."

Barbara said earnestly, word by word, "In short, Ms. Alice believes that having Claire by your side would have a very negative impact on her future development."

"This is...unfortunate, but my sister...the leader of the troupe, agrees."

"so……"

The little girl looked directly at Ling Shu and said, "Thank you so much for your trouble with this matter."

"..."

Ling Shu was speechless.

Huh? Translate this for me, what do you mean by 'Klee staying by my side will have a very negative impact on her future development'?

I'm not some hentai loli; my XP system is a gentle and lovely lady, or perhaps a little devilish!

Seriously, I'm so hurt.

At this moment...

Perhaps noticing the strange expression on Ling Shu's face, Barbara slowly leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words.

Then, the expression on Ling Shu's face became increasingly strange.

Because he heard...

"Ms. Alice already knows about your past stories of telling dirty jokes to your brother, Ray.

"..."

Damn it, which son of a bitch snitched on me?

Chapter 326 True God-Level Blacksmiths Gather

Currently, due to the large number of injured people in the sanatorium run by the Deankat family, Ling Shu and Barbara don't have much free time to chat.

While the latter two were assisting Amid in treating the wounded, on the other side...

"You want to commission me to create divine weaponry?"

The location was the headquarters of the Hephaestus Familia, the office where the faction's chief god usually handled important matters.

A few months ago, a certain NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) prayed to grandpas and grandmas here, but in the end, he was kicked out by his best friend because he had been eating and drinking for free.

And now, Sora and Hikari have officially met the red-haired goddess with the eye patch here.

It has to be said that the title of "Star Gemini" is really useful these days.

After all, if it were anyone else visiting, apart from a certain blue-ribbon loli goddess, everyone else (gods) would probably have to make an appointment in advance.

Even her own beautiful older sister (Freya) was no exception.

In short...

"Yes, Goddess Hephaestus."

Sora directly brought up the matter of the 'Heavenly Fire' being contaminated and roughly described the seriousness of the current situation.

After a while...

"...That's roughly how it is."

Kong didn't mince words and said directly, "Originally, the chief god of Olympia, Prometheus, intended to ask the goddess of fire (Hestia) to purify the polluted 'Heavenly Fire,' but now the latter has been controlled by the evil god (Phaethon), and the sun god (Helios) has been harmed and sacrificed by him."

"Those members of the 'Order of Prometheus' who arrived in Orario yesterday have come to us for help."

“And we do not intend to sacrifice any person (God).”

"But... an ancient hero who has already gone astray, plus an evil god who wields the power of 'Hellfire'... Faced with such an enemy, Ying and I both believe that relying solely on the power of 'Orion's Arrow' is no longer enough to guarantee a 100% solution to all the troubles."

"so……"

"So that's why you came here to borrow my (the God of Forging) power?"

Hephaestus nodded, indicating that he understood the current situation.

Without a doubt, this kind-hearted older sister goddess would not be stingy at such a critical moment.

She clearly belongs to the kind of benevolent deity in the eyes of the world who would sacrifice herself to save the lower realm.

Not to mention, the current situation also involves his closest divine friend (Hestia).

So……

“I can help you forge divine weapons (god-slaying weapons), but... there are a few things I must make clear to you beforehand.”

Hephaestus said in a serious tone, "First of all, you are not allowed to use the divine weapons I created for 'selfish' purposes."

"In return, I can waive the fee this time and help you out for free."

This is easy to understand.

Hephaestus hoped that the Twin Stars would simply use their divinely created weapons to save the world, rather than harboring ambitions.

Regarding this...

"Please rest assured, although it's somewhat inappropriate to say it like this, but..."

Kong shrugged. "Neither Ying nor I have any 'that kind of' pursuit."

"After all, we prefer the pure adventurer's life to wreaking havoc everywhere."

"Hmm~"

Hephaestus's lips curled slightly.

At present, although the two sides have only made a verbal promise, the God of Forging is still willing to believe in the brother and sister in front of him who have saved the world once before.

This is the effect of 'merit'.

"So, only one question remains."

Hephaestus looked at Sora and Luminous, "Today, you revealed some information to me about your own [ability values]. I can guarantee that this information will never be leaked or spread from me."

"But the assistance I can provide is very limited, so you'd better not have too high expectations."

"That skill... it's called 'Gemini Twins,' right?" (PS: This is a lie.jpg)

The red-haired goddess stated bluntly, "According to what you've said, once this ability is activated, the stronger the 'medium' itself, the greater the power it can unleash."

"The reason you were able to successfully defeat 'Antares' and 'Scorpio' in succession was precisely because you borrowed the god-slaying power of 'Orion's Arrow' through this method." (PS: Lies x2)

"But in this process, the more intense the battle and the longer the skill activation time, the more likely it is to cause great damage to the 'medium' itself, which is why the 'Orion's Arrow' was damaged like that afterward."

Hephaestus sighed, "Unfortunately, I cannot use my divine power in the lower realms, so I certainly cannot create divine weapons that are on par with, or even surpass, the 'Arrow of Orion'."

"You need to prepare yourselves mentally for this in advance."

After listening to her finish speaking...

Well, first of all, Kong and Ying can only sigh that it's fortunate that Ling Shu has a 'world' inside him, which allows them to ignore the gods' 'lie detection' passively.

Otherwise, having had her identity coldly revealed by the goddess Prometheus just last night, and then having another god added to the list the very next day... that would be too much of a disaster.

As for what the other party is worried about...

“Speaking of this… Goddess Hephaestus, we have a suggestion that we hope you, as an ‘expert’ in the forging industry, can offer your advice.”

"Oh?"

Hearing Ying say such a thing, Hephaestus became interested. "What suggestion? Tell me."

"It's very simple."

The silly little sister revealed a mysterious smile, "I wonder, as the God of Craftsmanship in the Heavenly Realm, would you be interested in cooperating with a 'god from another world' to forge an 'unprecedented' divine weapon?"

"!"

******

Ling Shu knew that on the Teyvat continent, both the 'God of Rock - Morax' and the 'God of Thunder - Baal/Baalzebub' had honed their forging skills to the pinnacle.

Not to mention the former who could "casually create five-star weapons," even the latter two sisters left behind countless precious books related to forging within Inazuma.

Coincidentally, the forging techniques possessed by the Emperor and the General... or rather, the forging techniques they had independently researched, created, and perfected over thousands of years, were completely different from the school of Hephaestus.

In this way...

"When four forgers, all at least at the 'Grandmaster' level, approach each other with the mindset of 'apprentices,' learning from and drawing upon each other's techniques, and then..."

The Emperor: "We will accept them all."

That's how it is...

"We no longer need to worry about the 'God-created Weapons (God-slaying Weapons)'."
