The Warrior of Love

Alia sighed and said, "We can't stay in the God Realm forever. Even though the flow of time is different, the lower world is in danger every moment. Those innocent people are still waiting for us to save them... We should discuss when to go back."

Heber had no objection: "I don't care, anytime is fine."

"I...have something I want to try."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Liu, who was usually very decisive, hesitated in a rare way.

"Although the lower realm is equally capable, the conditions are probably not as good as those in the divine realm."

Aaliyah blinked, expressing confusion: "What do you mean?"

"I was thinking about this when I met the Four Heavenly Kings o Hilde before. This time we just happened to encounter vampires. What should we do if we really encounter a large group of enemies attacking the village from different directions?"

Jiang Liu said seriously: "Even if it's me, I might be pinned down by the enemy and unable to escape. But you two can't fight alone, which means we don't have the ability to deal with this situation."

"This...is indeed the case."

Aaliyah frowned slightly, "But what should we do?"

"It's very simple, just add friendly forces." Jiang Liu said simply.

Heber's eyes lit up: "Collecting adventure companions? Just like in the heroic stories!"

"No, that's too inefficient. I plan to build it directly!"

"Eh?" Heber tilted his head. "Made it?"

"Well, the summoning technique I learned has a branch called "creation", which allows me to create familiars and then summon them."

After thinking about it, Jiang Liu felt that it would be a shame if he did not use this skill. After all, he had the dark space as a large warehouse. He would not need to summon it when the time came. He could just put it in the dark space in advance and release it all at once during the battle!

Alia nodded. The solution proposed by Jiang Liu was indeed efficient and feasible.

"Have you decided what kind of familiar you want to create?"

"I'm looking for your help...Alia, do you know where there are large quantities of high-quality metals or rare ores in the Unified God Realm?"

Jiang Liu grinned: "I want to build a big one."

Chapter 366: Trial of the Mining God

"Oh, isn't this Lady Alia? Why did you think of coming to me?"

"It's been a long time since I last greeted you, Lord Elthoronth."

Aaliyah said politely, "You are still as energetic as ever."

"That's all thanks to the fine wine sent by His Excellency the God of Wine, which keeps me energetic every day! As long as I have good wine to accompany me, I won't feel bored even if I live another 100,000 years."

The person who was talking to Alia was an old man who was less than 1.5 meters tall, but his muscles were extremely strong and he was as steady and solid as a rock.

Although he looks old, his hair and beard are both black and he still looks energetic. However, the wrinkles on his face prove that he is indeed quite old.

The rough weed-like hair style, the beard that covers the lower half of his face, the stocky and sturdy figure, and the love of fine wine - he is simply a stereotypical "dwarf".

In fact, it is true. This El Solons is the "God of Mines" who was born in the dwarf race and is well-known in the heaven for his forging skills.

Why not the "God of Craftsmanship" or the "God of Forging"?

The reason is the same as the fighting god, because before him there was already someone called "craftsman god"...

The place Jiang Liu and his companions came to was filled with burning fires and red metal ingots, and golden liquid was flowing in the ditches...

It is as big as a stadium and was specially opened up by the gods as the workplace of the mining god.

"Let me introduce you. This is the brave warrior Yuanshan Jiangliu, and behind him is his...good friend, named Heber."

Alia said to the two of them, "Lord Elsolos is one of the most skilled craftsmen in the Unified God Realm. He is usually responsible for maintaining the artifacts for the war gods, and occasionally makes some exquisite jewelry for goddesses like us. He is a very enthusiastic and good god."

"No, no, this is what I should do." The God of Mines laughed, "Don't you often send me fine wine and snacks? It's embarrassing to always eat for free. Apart from my craftsmanship, I don't have any other advantages, so I can only repay you in this way."

After saying that, he looked at Jiang Liu seriously and said, "Oh, is this the hero in the rumors?"

"Rumors?" Heber and Jiang Liu looked at each other in confusion.

"Ah, I heard that someone convinced the Sword God to become his disciple. Recently, he couldn't stand the rigorous training and gave up on himself, and was about to throw away his sword."

"Oh, so that's what you mean... Although it's generally correct, it's not completely correct."

Jiang Liu scratched his head in embarrassment: "I was the one who accepted the Sword God as my apprentice, but it was another hero who made him autistic."

"That guy was defeated by two mortals?" The mine god's eyes widened. "What a shame."

"I think Celseus has tried very hard...it's just that the people he met were too unusual." Alia smiled subtly.

The God of Mines shook his head and put the matter behind him, and then said, "What important matter has brought you to me personally this time, Lady Alia? Generally speaking, a goddess who is saving the world doesn't have much time to see old friends."

"There is indeed something I need your help with." Alia nodded and said, "To be precise, Jiang Liu has a request and I hope you can allow it."

"Well……"

The God of Mines looked Jiang Liu up and down and shook his head slightly.

"Lady Alia, you also know that the God Realm has a rule that divine tools cannot be given to mortals at will. Excessive doting and uncontrolled power will only harm them. In the end, the world still needs their own hands to save it."

"It's not for the artifact." Alia shook her head with amusement.

The concept of "unifying the divine world" is "letting humans save the world with their own strength." Although the gods will provide some help and guidance, they will not take direct action.

Passing technology to the heroes and developing their combat capabilities is already the limit, and we cannot interfere too much.

This is especially true for things like artifacts. If you give away an artifact at will, it will only cause the collapse of the underworld.

Generally speaking, if a holy sword is really needed to defeat the Demon King, the gods will place it in a secret realm, or hold a "sword-drawing ceremony" or something like that. In short, they will set up difficulties for the heroes. The more powerful the artifact, the greater the difficulty, and sometimes even something has to be sacrificed.

As the god of forging divine artifacts, the God of Mines has very clear rules in this regard, so even with Alia's favor, the artifact cannot be given away directly.

Of course, Jiang Liu was not seeking the divine weapon this time.

"Not this? Then what is it for?"

The dwarf scratched his head and said, "I don't have anything valuable except a sword and a stove."

"I don't want the finished sword, I want the raw material."

Jiang Liu pointed to the metal ingots piled up in a corner - they were stacked up like a mountain.

"Like those."

"Ugh?"

The mining god was stunned: "What's the use of these? Throw them out as flying props?"

"Actually, I'm considered a summoner. I want to try making a familiar. It's hard to collect so many high-quality materials in the Netherworld."

"Oh, no wonder... Indeed, I don't have anything else here, just a lot of raw material ores and refined metal ingots."

The God of Mines nodded, but then added: "However, the gods must be restrained in their help to humans. Although it is not as strict as the divine tools, ores cannot be given away just because they are asked to."

"Please be flexible on this point!"

Alia smiled softly and said, "I will ask the god of wine to send you the best aged wine later. Please, Lord Elsolons."

"Hmm... then let's do this." The God of Mines pondered for a moment, "Let's set a test for him. If he receives the reward for accepting the test honestly, even the Great Goddess won't be able to say anything."

"That's no problem." Jiang Liu accepted it without hesitation, "No matter what the trial is, I'm willing to give it a try."

"How much raw material do you need?"

"Probably... about two-thirds of that area."

"That's too much. If you convert it into gold coins, it's enough to buy a country in the underworld! What kind of familiar do you want to make?"

"Well, giant robots or something?"

"Uh..." The God of Mines took a deep breath: "If you want so much, it will be difficult for me to add water... Let's put it this way... I like drinking very much. A hundred years ago, I tasted the "Dream Water" made by the "God of Sleep" at a banquet, and I have been thinking about it ever since.

This kind of wine can only be made by the God of Sleep, but that guy walked into the house of the "God of Labyrinth" while sleepwalking and has not come out until now.

If you can find the god of sleep and let me taste the divine brew again, I will give you all the ores.

But you have to think clearly, the home of the "God of Maze" is a maze itself, and if you are not careful you will get lost in it forever.

Once you get caught in it, although the human hero's life will not be in danger, your mission to save the world will be considered a failure... It's better to be cautious. "

Chapter 367: Simple and Easy Maze Strategy

"I heard you're going to explore the maze?"

"Who said that?"

"Lista." Seiya glanced at the blonde goddess next to him.

It must have been leaked from Hebe or Aria...

"Yes, I want to challenge you."

"Are you sure?"

"I can't say it will work without trying."

"Then this is for you."

"Ok?"

Jiang Liu looked at the ball of golden thread that was handed to him and raised his brows slightly.

Lista looked at the ball of silk with suspicion.

"This is?"

"Thank you."

Ryuguuin Seiya said calmly: "After all, I am under your care."

"Thank you?"

Jiang Liu turned on the skill of his Identification Eye and looked at the ball of silk thread.

-

【Starting thread】

For disposable items, when you unfold and then fold them up again, the rolled-up part will disappear directly.

·Characteristic 1: Regeneration, toughness;

Feature 2: Even if the connection is disconnected, it can be automatically connected.

-

The description was very concise. It was a one-time consumable item and its effect didn't seem to be very powerful, but it was very intriguing to give it to Jiang Liu at this time.

"The Minotaur in the Labyrinth", this mythological story can be said to be world-famous on Earth.

To put it simply, every year a king sends young boys and girls to the minotaur in the maze to be eaten. A brave man decides to defeat the monster, and the princess who falls in love with him gives him a silk thread that will never break so that he can get out of the maze.

The princess held a section of the thread at the exit so that the hero could follow the thread and walk out no matter where he went.

In the end, the monster was defeated by the brave man, and the brave man and the princess were successfully married. It was really cause for celebration. If we ignore the subsequent developments, the ending of this story is still quite satisfactory.

Jiang Liu didn't expect to receive an item similar to the silk thread in the story. He looked at the expressionless Seiya Ryuuguuin in surprise.

"You prepared this specially for me?"

"This is a byproduct obtained when manufacturing weapons. It is not tailor-made for you. Don't get me wrong."

Seiya still had an unmoved dead look on his face: "It just happens to be useful in the current situation."

Are you a tsundere?

There is nothing wrong with a beautiful girl with blond twin ponytails posing like this, but if a grown man does this it will only make people dislike him - for example, Jiang Liu showed a look of disgust.

Shouldn't it be the princess who comes to lend a helping hand to the hero at a time like this?

Why did I become the hero and be helped by another hero?

"Thank you anyway." Jiang Liu patted Seiya's shoulder - and found that he was not tall enough and had to stand on tiptoe.

Tsk!

Now, he missed the look of his heyday.

It's strange, why does it seem to be more difficult to recover after rejuvenating this time...
