Wrong Ground, Spiral Twins

Page 60

"Aisi said this. What does this have to do with that goddess?"

"Although she didn't say it explicitly, I can be sure that she has set her sights on the target again."

Leaning on the windowsill, Loki gently swirled his wine glass. "You can say she's frivolous, you can say she likes new things, but her vision is trustworthy. Do you want to take a gamble, Livilia? I think he should be the one that Freya has taken a fancy to recently."

"I'm not interested in gambling, but you want to..."

"What do you think? When Freya seduces a man, how about we get involved?"

"It will lead to a factional war."

Livilia made a calm prediction, "And that goddess is different from you, Loki. If she really wants this child, she can completely capture his body and mind, and there will be no room for us to interfere."

"But I think that even in the face of that charm, this child would not be completely defenseless. You should be able to sense a little bit of that will that directly overrides the physical body."

"That awareness, which seems to allow one to abandon even the body, is not worthy of praise."

Livilia sighed.

The answer to why she didn't want to force the child to join was here. Would a person with such awareness really still be afraid of death? And if even death could not make him feel afraid, then what else was there for him to fear?

"But you can't refute it. This kind of will that is willing to destroy itself is the most likely to resist the charm of the goddess of beauty, because Freya only wants to get him and will never want to destroy him."

"Then, are you going to take action at that time and gain his gratitude?"

Loki smiled silently and drank the contents of the cup in one gulp. "When the time comes, whether to watch your child being taken away by a twisted will or to choose to be taken away and protected by others, I think the dwarf will make a wise decision."

The words were vague and bland, but at this moment, Livilia seemed to feel that some kind of rules had been set.

……——……

Su Mo carried Bell out of the Loki clan’s residence.

From a distance, he could still feel the anger sweeping and venting behind him, just like a burning 'murderous intent'.

Judging from the way the male members of Loki's family were gritting their teeth in hatred at the scene, the person on his shoulders must have done something extraordinary. At least it was definitely not as simple as being abused unilaterally and beaten to unconsciousness.

After getting on the carriage, the man woke up soon.

And the look of shame and anger on her face after waking up undoubtedly further confirmed Su Mo's guess.

After a few jokes, he didn't ask any further questions. After all, the rabbit's face was so red that it seemed to be burning.

After sending Bell back to his home, Su Mo did not get off the carriage, but continued to let the carriage take him to Welf's personal workshop.

Welf, who had been working hard in the middle level of the dungeon for a whole day yesterday, was now sitting in front of the stove. When he noticed Su Mo's arrival, he did not stop his work and continued to swing the hammer with full concentration.

Su Mo watched silently and waited.

Weapons are a warrior's second life. Su Mo didn't know if he was influenced by this idea, or if it was simply because his hearing became more outstanding as his ability value increased. Anyway, unknowingly, he began to feel that the sound of blacksmithing sounded much more pleasant.

The initial noisy feeling has completely disappeared, replaced by a buzzing sound that can calm people down.

It was a crisp sound with an echo. Every time the hammer fell, the iron ingot seemed to have a real life and kept vibrating, constantly spreading its own vibrations outward.

After watching for a while, Su Mo noticed something strange.

It seemed that what Welf was forging was not a dagger, but soon, the bright red blood gave him a definite answer.

Demon Sword

The final dagger was undoubtedly a magic sword.

The man who hated the magic sword finally started forging it again.

Welf picked up the magic sword and took a look at it. After just two glances, his disappointment was clearly revealed on his face.

"It was a complete failure..."

"completely?"

Su Mo could understand that it was a failure, but looking at this magic sword, it didn't seem to be a complete failure.

"I wanted to extend its lifespan, but in the end I just limited its power so that it could be used more often."

Welf sighed, threw the magic sword aside, and stood up.

"As a magic sword, a magic sword whose power can be restricted is undoubtedly a failure. It only increases the number of uses by limiting its power, and its service life is not substantially enhanced. Naturally, it has failed in all aspects."

Su Mo nodded.

Obviously, this is a test tool that attempts to open up new paths, but it obviously did not really open up anything.

"I actually want to start with the 'immortality' attribute, but unfortunately..."

Without the development ability of 'forging', sublimating materials and solidifying properties is still a bit far away from him.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. What brought you here today?"

Su Mo took out a few drawings and handed them over.

"I need a steel material that is stainless and corrosion resistant as its main properties to make these."

“Stainless steel, corrosion resistance, that’s not a problem at all.”

"Plus the low price, what about mass production?"

Welf thought about it for a moment and quickly nodded, "No problem, I can fix it in a little while."

Su Mo silently gave a thumbs up.

"But are you sure there will be a market for them?"

"Don't you think the wooden bowls and spoons used by adventurers nowadays are a bit too big and difficult to store?"

"If there is a bowl, spoon, lunch box, lunch box, etc. that is smaller, lighter, easier to stack, less likely to break, and even easier to clean, would you be willing to use it?"

It was just a casual question originally, but after hearing this, Welf naturally had no objection, "If you want to stay overnight in the dungeon, I will indeed buy one."

"The popularity of this thing depends mainly on the price. If it can be made cheaper than a wooden bowl..."

"Okay, I'll try my best."

Even the price is lower than that of wooden bowls. Who will use wooden bowls in the future?

Chapter 99: Upgraded abnormality.

With nothing else to do for the time being, Su Mo finally put his mind back together and started the final sprint before the upgrade.

Carrying plenty of supplies, a three-day dungeon tour is naturally a compulsory course for the sprint. After a three-day round, exploring the middle level with Welf is a rest buffer, and a new day is naturally the start of a new round.

This is undoubtedly a crazy rhythm, but for Su Mo, extreme exploitation has gradually become a habit.

What a dream it is to improve your strength quickly without being a little tough on yourself!

Of course, he is not the only one who has been fighting at full speed recently.

There are role models, aspirations, things to protect, things to make money... Bell, who has recovered from his injuries, has recently become the one who goes out early and comes back late in Hestia's eyes, and his level of hard work is almost as good as Welf's.

The two members of Hestia's family were madly improving themselves, Welf was also involved, but Lilyluka was the only one who was innocently affected. Fortunately, this kind of interaction did not last too long.

Su Mo's three-day underground journey finally came to an end after three rounds.

【Su Mo: LV.1.

Strength: SSS1257 → SSS1267 Durability: SSS1358 → SSS1366 Dexterity: SSS1295 → SSS1300 Agility: SSS1381 → SSS1387 Magic: SSS1432 → SSS1439】

Looking at the updated ability values in his hand, Su Mo was able to determine that he had officially entered a trough period.

After three consecutive days of fighting, except for 'strength', the growth of other basic ability values did not exceed double digits, and the average growth of 'agility' was less than 2 points per day. Such an intuitive growth rate no longer needs any other explanation.

All attributes are 'SSS1200+', the goal has been perfectly achieved, but the growth of 'magic' and 'agility' is a little beyond expectations.

This must be due to the potential influence of "Xun Zu" and "Elements". Otherwise, with his fighting style and constant self-exertion, there is no reason why "Durability" would fall to third place.

Initially, he was a tank warrior who focused on 'durability', but as time went on, he began to focus on 'magic' and 'agility' as a secondary factor.

This is obviously moving towards the template of "Sword Princess".

Is this how it is with immortal spirits?

"Please help me upgrade, Lord God!"

Putting down the paper, Su Mo didn't let Hestia wait any longer and directly chose to upgrade.

If he continued to squeeze, he could indeed improve his basic ability by one or two points every day, but these were the only ones he needed.

The trough has arrived and all necessary preparations have been made. If we don’t upgrade now, when will we upgrade?

"it is good!"

At this moment, Hestia was even more excited than Su Mo.

Every time she saw this series of extraordinary basic ability values, she couldn't help but worry. It was not until recently that she learned how to hide the ability values that she felt a little more at ease.

Now, it’s finally time to upgrade.

Sublimate [ability value], improve [capacity]...

The sound of his heartbeat became clearer and clearer beside his ears. At this moment, Su Mo couldn't help but feel a little nervous and itchy. He waited quietly for the upgrade, but suddenly, a strong burning sensation spread rapidly from his back.

"God-sama...?"

Su Mo felt a little strange.

As far as he knew, the feeling of upgrading was actually similar to updating ability points, but now this feeling was obviously too strong.

"Do not talk!"

Hestia stared at the skill that didn't show up until the upgrade was almost complete, her eyes blazing with fire.

This is a favor that I personally carved and will write.

No one but I can write--

The long black hair moved without wind, the hairpin fell off quietly, and the black hair gradually changed at the tips, revealing a brilliant crimson.

This is divine power... At this moment, even a fool would know that something is definitely wrong.

"God?"

"Don't move, it will be over soon."

The long crimson hair fluttered in the wind, but soon fell down naturally and turned back to black.

"……alright!"

Hestia let out a long sigh and wiped away the non-existent sweat.

"What happened?"

Su Mo asked quickly.

"It's nothing, just a new skill appeared."

It is not surprising that skills will appear after upgrading. Rather, upgrading is the most likely time for skills to appear.

However, he had just acquired a skill not long ago. Logically speaking, the probability of awakening a new skill again in a short period of time is definitely very low.

Besides, is it really necessary to make such a big fuss just to awaken a new skill?

Su Mo didn't believe it at all.

After all, he just displayed his divine power.

"What skill?"

Hestia did not respond, but quickly copied the ability value and handed it to Su Mo to read.

Su Mo: LV.2.
