Wrong, my team members are from daily life

"It's different now. With the Wings of Justice skill, if we recruit new members in the future, the leader's initial reputation will be very important!"

"It's much more cost-effective to have a favorable impression of "Respect" from the beginning than to work hard to capture the target."

According to Xia Jia's estimation, "Respect" can at least increase the ability value by 5%.

These are scary statistics.

If placed in the Ganesha clan, a clan with 11 lv5 members, then Shaka would naturally have the ability value of half a lv5!

Guaranteed level 3!

"So, compared to the deputy leader who becomes someone unknown after the clan expands, the clan leader is obviously more valuable."

Xia Jia looked embarrassed: "The problem now is Cecil's side, what should I say."

Astraea was also distressed when she heard this, but she soon relaxed her brows:

"Cecil is a good kid. He may be a bit upset at first, but... don't you have the "mystery"? "

Astraea said confidently with her eyebrows curved:

"Development ability is an ability that has a chance to awaken after the adventurer levels up. And "Mystery" is a rare option that is one in a million. If Cecil wants to upgrade himself, it will take at least two or three years."

As she spoke, the goddess bent down and gently stroked Shaka's head:

"Therefore, it is even more distant for Cecil to obtain the "forging" that is exclusive to blacksmiths, so... the "mystery" that can replace "forging" to a certain extent is very important to Cecil. You must make good use of your advantages, Xia-chan."

Damn it, how dare you breastfeed me!

Looking at the fair skin that the goddess inadvertently revealed, Xia Jia nervously slapped his hands off his head and turned his head and said:

"I understand. I will make it up to her. Isn't it just using the 'mystery' to make weapons? I can help you, right?"

"About this..." Astraea straightened her expression and bowed slightly, saying, "I'm asking you for a favor, too. Please agree to it."

"What are you talking about..." Xia Jia quickly supported the goddess and said, "I can do it, and I will definitely do it."

Standing up, Astraea slowly spoke:

“There are many types of “Mystery”, and each person is suited to different things. Among the currently known “Mystery” holders, there are individuals who strengthen the “Healing” magic and focus on the “Harmony” direction required for the development of medicine;

There are also sorcerers like Yasfi who focus on making magic tools and special potions, or even those who focus on forging curses.

Everyone will choose the position of "mystery" according to their own direction, but in essence, "mystery" is a development ability involving the power of God. "

"This means that the ultimate mystery is the almighty power of God!"

Xia Jia nodded seriously… I know this, it’s the power of my thinking.

In the original novel, Yasfi directly used magic items to replicate Daedalus's "Eye of Daedalus". Bloodline curse is something that can be created with just a little thought.

Seeing that Xia Jia understood, Astraea continued, "The reason I said so much is that I hope you can help me forge a weapon."

"arms?"

"Well, I originally planned to ask the Wind Fairy to bless it, but I haven't been able to find it yet, and the fairy I know hasn't been successful in negotiations."

"But now there is a "mysterious" Xia Chan, and it's the same."

Astraea straightened her body and waved her index finger to explain:

"The immortals are called the children of the gods. To some extent, they also possess the power of the gods. In the lower world where the gods have sealed their power, if you want to give weapons special powers, you cannot do without them."

Xia Jia understood that there were examples of immortal spirits being directly used as mounts and weapons. Most of the ancient heroes reached their respective legends by making contracts with immortal spirits.

Although local gods have now descended and presented "favors" that are better than the fairy contract, the fairy's own "talents" are still irreplaceable.

such as……

The sturdy and useful 'African War God' fairy protective cloth is said to have been made by the fairy for fun.

As for Xia Jia's own skill [Mysterious Vision], Xia Jia has his own ideas.

"I can rely on the person I admire to temporarily acquire advanced mysterious bug skills!"

"I don't know how proficient Fels, the great sage who developed the 'mystery' to the extreme in the past and is still alive today, is."

"But according to her level, she is extremely mysterious and can even create a monster item like the Philosopher's Stone!"

Xia Jia glanced at his magic and skill configuration, and a cool move came to his mind.

Speaking of which...

"Then Lady Astraea." Shaga's expression was serious.

"Yes."

"Please help me become more skilled!"

"Eh? What do you mean by skilled?" Astraea stroked her face and tilted her head, her eyes sweeping towards the bed.

"It's a mysterious thing!" Xia Jia's face flushed: "My skills need an "object"! Therefore, as the most mysterious god in the underworld, he is my best target!"

"Please teach me as much as you want!"

"it is good!"

Chapter 8: The Battle of the Group Leader

After leaving the shrine, Xia Jia ran into Cecil, who was leaning against the wall with his arms folded across his chest.

Cecil raised his little head: "Where's the captain?"

Xia Jia shyly looked away, scratched his face with his hand and said softly, "Did you call me?"

"what?!"

The girl's eyebrows immediately raised: "What are you pretending for? The moment you officially became a member of the clan, you should have addressed me by my official title!"

Cecil had obviously been looking forward to this for a long time and was waiting outside the door for this moment.

Regarding this…

"Sorry, there were some minor problems. I may not be able to give up the position of leader to you so easily."

"Hmm." Cecil puffed up his cheeks, his face full of disgust.

How could such a person become a member of Lady Astraea's family? Cecil would never recognize such a leader!

At this time, Astraea also said: "Cecil-chan, I'm sorry, for some reasons, Xia-chan has a reason to become the leader..."

"What reason..." Cecil muttered.

"Skills-wise..." Astralia glanced at Yasfi, hesitant to speak, but still put her hands together:

"That's it, so please!"

“Even Lady Astraea…!!” Cecil’s eyes widened.

The girl looked like a country wife who supported a scholar in his imperial examinations but was ruthlessly abandoned after he passed the exam. Her face was full of resentment.

Xia Jia was really embarrassed and suggested:

"How about this, we will compete fairly for the position of leader for three months. Whoever recruits more members for the Astralia clan will become the leader."

"Of course, this member must be approved by Astralia, and no unqualified person is allowed!"

Although Cecil was dissatisfied, he was still discouraged when he saw Astraea clasped her hands together and tilted her head to beg for help behind Shaka.

"Okay! Three months is the deadline. It's a deal!"

Cecil glared at Xia Jia fiercely, then snorted, crossed his arms and looked back.

As a newcomer, I have no advantage over a veteran blacksmith like me! Besides, Sword City is my home turf, so I have an advantage in terms of connections!

Plus my rare skills!

Won!

Cecil was determined, and thought of the rare skill she had awakened:

【Sword Making】

When forging swords, your proficiency increases rapidly.

When forging swords and weapons, the equipment attributes are improved, and there is a low chance that the material level will be increased.

Although without [Forging], the weapons made are all blank and cannot have any attributes, but Cecil is confident that with his own skills, he can use high-quality blank weapons to attract enough adventurers!

As for Xia Jia, he was also confident. A rather bold plan was slowly taking shape in his mind.

The two of them, members of the newly-born Justice Clan, high-fived each other and signed a competition agreement.

"Cough cough."

At this moment, Yasifei, who had been watching the show for a long time, coughed lightly.

"You're still here."

Cecil and Shaga complained at the same time.

"Why were you two so tense just now, but now you are so in sync?"

Yasfei rolled her eyes and complained:

"Ah, although sending someone here is just a side job, it's really disheartening that you guys ordered me around like this and then just left me alone."

Oh, woman, don’t you have any little plans?

Xia Jia also rolled his eyes: "Isn't this natural? We are partners from the same clan!"

Cecil added: "We must stand united against all odds."

"Tsk." Yasfei smacked her lips, but she didn't intend to delve into it: "Since you are fine, I will go back and report to Lord Hermes. I really don't know what Lady Astraea likes about you."

"You'll be troubled because I failed the interview." Xia Jia narrowed his eyes.

"Humph."

Tsundere snorted and was about to turn around when Astraea's voice rang out from behind him: "Excuse me, please wait a moment."

Astraea stepped forward and pleaded, "I heard that the child sent a letter. I want to write a reply. Can you wait for me for a while?"

Upon hearing this, Yasfi's face fell and half of her glasses slipped off: "Really, even Lady Astraea is like this..."

"So I'm sorry, I can only ask you for help, Yasfi-chan."

Astraea took the letter from Cecil, read it carefully, then took out the parchment and quill pen and thought about how to reply.

Xia Jia also followed curiously, took out a pencil bag and a notebook from his schoolbag, and signaled the goddess to use them.

“This seems more convenient.”

The goddess didn't care. She changed the props and began to write word by word. Gorgeous and dignified words appeared on the snow-white paper, as gentle and beautiful as she was.

The content of the letter is as gentle as a mother's concern for her children who are away from home.

Lady Astraea is very much like her mother.

Only when he could feel the goddess up close did Xia Jia feel more at ease.

Anyway...

The wife’s attributes are fully utilized.

The goddess was writing, but she got stuck when it came to her own situation. From time to time, she rested the pen tip on her chin and thought, as if she was worried.

"Are you troubled?" asked Shaka.

"Yes, it's a letter to the elder of the clan. Due to various reasons, the child stopped where she is and can't move forward. However, from the recent letters, she seems to have gradually stopped and started to look for a direction."

Astraea told Liu's story bit by bit, and then said worriedly: "How should I reply? That child is also concerned about my situation."

Xia Jia smiled: "Why not tell her about us? The appearance of new blood in the clan is something worth showing off."

"Oh." Astraea's eyes lit up, she clasped her hands together and clapped happily.

So, the text quickly appeared on paper, introducing Cecil and Xia Jia, including Xia Jia's ambitions and so on.

However, the clever goddess concealed Shaka's ability.

After witnessing the dark history being exposed again, Xia Jia could only hold his head:

"Why do you keep telling everything to others? Please write more good things about me. If Liu-senpai's favorability towards me increases, won't I instantly have a good ability value?"

"Right!"
