The journey of dragon transformation starting from Demon Slayer

Upon hearing Tazmi's congratulations, Welf was no longer as bold as before, and a rare hint of shyness appeared on his smiling face.

"Well~ I have a lot of help from you here... Anyway, I have to thank you, Tazmi..."

"But - let me say that I can definitely do it! Now that I have finally obtained the 'forging' to develop my abilities, those guys in the family will probably be shocked!"

"Then now you will become the official 'senior blacksmith' of the clan!"

"Yes! As long as the work can be approved by the cadres or Lord Hephaestus... I can also use the family's trademark in the future."

"Well~! Although I'm still far behind you. But I won't admit defeat!"

Welf looked up at the stars in the sky and sighed from the bottom of his heart, as if he regarded the boy around him as a target to chase in the future and made up his mind in his heart.

At this moment, the flame in his chest was burning continuously. With his love for forging, Welf was not afraid of offending others with his words. Instead, he bluntly expressed his competitiveness in front of Tazmi.

"Does this make me a target?"

"Haha, isn't it natural to be friends and companions?!"

"Lord Tazmi! Lord Welf!"

The two were walking on the avenue when a sudden call made them look away. After seeing Lily and Bell standing on the street, Tazmi and Welf changed their direction and moved closer to the two. .

"Congratulations to Mr. Welf for your 'upgrade'!"

"Well, congratulations, Welf!"

Hearing the congratulations from his friend, Welf smiled and scratched his hair, then waved his hand and said boldly.

"I just said these few words to you, so I can't be stingy today!"

"Let's set off towards the "Bee Flame Courtyard"! I'm treating you today!"

Hearing Welf's words, Lily and Bell also put smiles on their faces. Then Lily acted as the mood-maker, adding another bucket of hot oil to the already lively atmosphere.

"Well~ It's rare to kill Lord Welf once, so Lily must get her money back."

The little human girl raised her little head and spoke confidently, and those provocative words made Welf respond even more fiercely.

"What a rude statement, Lilizai! Come on then! If you can, eat food as tall as your body!"

"Hmph! Just eat! If Lily can't finish it, I will still have Lady Tazmi to help me!"

"It's not good to waste food..."

He made a casual suggestion, and after seeing that the two of them did not listen to his advice, Tazmi shook her head helplessly.

He knew that these two people would not do such a thing as wasting food, but what really made him feel helpless was Lily's attitude. It's as if he has a tacit understanding that he is good at eating.

"It seems like I can't get rid of the title of Big Eater..."

After muttering something under his breath, the argument between the short little human girl and the red-haired blacksmith continued.

"Wow, that's so cunning. It's so illegal to hire foreign aid!"

"Hmph, a gentleman's words are hard to catch up with!"

Chapter 358 At the party

"Hmm~~ The philosophical words from Tazmi's mouth changed as soon as they came into Lilizai's mouth. Don't you think so, Bell!"

"You, say, what?!! I'm not done with you anymore!!"

"Ah ha ha..."

Welf was able to provoke Lily to a frenzy with just a few words, while Bell looked at the interaction with a silly smile on his face.

In this way, the four of them walked forward step by step, heading to the back alley of the "bustling city", and went straight into the bar with signs full of birds, lions, and various animals.

This is the "Bee Flame Pavilion", a tavern that Welf often frequents. It is a secret tavern hidden in the bustling streets and alleys. A bright red honey sign similar to the "Family" emblem hangs in front of the door.

This sign echoes the store's signature product, which is mead boiled into ruby ​​red. It is also the culprit that attracts blacksmiths like Welf and some adventurers to frequent the store day after day.

It is a store located in a back alley. Although it is not as fashionable as the "Rich Hostess" in terms of scale and decoration, it has a slightly dirty environment, crowded tables and chairs, and the laughter of adventurers and dwarves. , coupled with the drinks and dishes here, the "fantasy" element can be said to be directly full.

A group of people sat down around the free table, and soon a waiter came to ask everyone's needs.

"The signature honey wine is for four people! The ham and grilled steak is for four people. Oh, by the way, please fry it a little browner, and then the grilled fish..."

After hearing Welf's order, the little human girl waiter holding a notebook kept taking notes. After confirming the order, she left the table and went straight to the kitchen.

"Tazmi! Don't listen to Lily, be merciful to my wallet!"

"Fuck you, Welf..."

Seeing Tazmi curling her lips, Welf laughed.

As exquisite dishes continued to be brought to the table, Tazmi also had a rare opportunity to chat with everyone.

Mixed with the laughter of adventurers and the clinking of wine glasses, the content of everyone's conversations ranged from those who had just become adventurers to the anecdotes and boasts they have encountered now. Then Bell revealed that today his family's main god, Hestia, wanted to earn a living, but had to work hard at the Babel branch because of a huge debt owed to her friend. Anyway, we talked a lot.

It is said that the Loli goddess at that time was full of snot and tears, and hearing such embarrassing things also made several people laugh.

I have to say, it’s really filial! Mr. Bell!

"Speaking of which, Tazmi, can you level up?"

"me?"

"Yeah, Lord Tazmi, Lily cares about it too."

Lily, who had transformed into a werewolf girl, was nodding her little head crazily, her cute animal ears were shaking from time to time, and she looked curiously at the boy sitting next to her.

Since the battle with "Goliath" ended that day, the matter about Tazmi's experience value has become the most curious secret in the hearts of several people.

The settlement of experience points is a little special.

In group battles, it is often the person who delays the monster the longest, that is, the person on the front line will gain more experience points.

Even if you charge up for three minutes and kill the boss with one blow, it won't be as profitable as those in the front row who delay the fight and resist.

They all knew about the scenery at that time, and it had even spread among the rogue adventurers on the 18th floor.

It was a great achievement of one person pressing down on the main player on the floor, and that firm figure was probably no less impressive than the heroes in Hero Tales.

Even now, the scenery from that time still echoes in their minds, making their souls tremble.

After hearing several people asking if he could upgrade, Tazmi pierced a piece of barbecue with a fork and stuffed it into his mouth, then thought about it in his mind.

After including the fight scenes with the Supreme Power, he came up with the answer.

"It's probably OK..."

It can be seen that the two sides are not thinking on the same channel now. When he heard that Tazmida had accomplished the great feat of upgrading, Bell exclaimed.

"In other words, Tazmi, are you going to level up to Level 3?"

"If there are no surprises in the accumulation of experience points..."

Hearing Tazmi's reply, Lily also cheered, and Welf sitting aside also looked shocked.

"Tazmi-sama is so awesome!"

"I thought it was a bit too exaggerated... But after I thought it was you, I suddenly felt relieved..."

"Have you checked with Lady Hephaestus?"

Welf's question made Tazmi shake his head. When he saw that Tazmi had not yet confirmed, Welf also asked Tazmi to confirm as soon as possible with a spirited look.

Say something so that he can get this meal back.

When Tazmi heard this, she also laughed and scolded Welf for being immoral. She was obviously celebrating him, but she couldn't distinguish the priorities.

The four of them chatted slowly, and the atmosphere in the tavern gradually became quiet before they knew it. It was unknown whether they were shocked by Tazmi's leveling speed or for some other reason, which made all the adventurers stop talking and could only The sound of drinking wine echoed in my ears.

"Speaking of which, Lord Welf's request is to obtain the 'forging' ability, right?"

"So now that Lord Welf has achieved his goal, will this temporary team that has been formed for nearly two weeks be disbanded from now on?"

Everyone was still laughing, but Lily's sudden voice was like a bucket of cold water poured on Bell's heart.

His smile gradually stiffened, and even the raised corners of his mouth slowly curved downward.

Not only Bell, but now even Lily.

This team is the only place where she can get up close to Master Tazmi.

If the team disbands, she will be known as a useless support again.

Thinking of this, Lily's hands and feet suddenly started to become cold.

She knew that she could not catch up with Master Tazmi, but now even this last glimmer of hope...

No, she didn't want this, Lily didn't.

Seeing Bell's embarrassing scene, Welf also smiled and patted Bell's shoulder sitting next to him.

"What's going on with that abandoned expression?! Huh? Bell?!"

"I am the 'Crozzo' who signed a contract with you!"

"I can't just abandon my friends and walk away after solving my own problems..."

"You think so? Lilyzai?!"

"Eh?!"

Welf winked at the smaller girl, not forgetting to signal to the young man who was sitting next to her and dining quietly.

Although his words perfectly resolved the tense atmosphere, his winking expression was really funny.

Chapter 359 The party is over

Welf, who was confused by the sudden laughter, scratched his head, and then he was quickly infected and started laughing together.

"Speaking of Bell, aren't you planning to take God Hestia to buy a residence? I remember you were talking about this when we were on the 18th floor. How are the preparations now?"

Hearing Tazmi's question, Bell scratched his cheek in embarrassment. His short white hair trembled as he moved, and then he slowly spoke out his answer.

"Um...no chance..."

"Is it because of the fine?"

Lily revealed the secret, and then Tazmi also understood why Bell's expression became so bitter.

The reason is that the guild punished their family members, and not only the Hestia family members, but also the Hermes family members and the Yujian Thunder family members were also included.

Not only were the three gods summoned to the guild and severely lectured, but the guild did not even listen to their protests. Its main purpose is to cure the evil trend of gods going to the dungeon without authorization.

Of course, members of the family members were also severely criticized.

The incident involving the final floor master "Black Goliath" was defined as a "divine disaster", that is, a divine disaster caused by God.

Whether active or passive, they are the inevitable culprits.

The method of punishment is very common, which is to charge fines.

Hearing this, Tazmi asked Bell curiously.

"What's the fine?"

"Half of the family's total assets..."

After saying this, Bell's face began to become visibly bitter.

I vaguely remember that when paying the fine to the union, his god groaned and trembled. The wailing screams can be said to make those who hear them sad and those who listen to them shed tears.

And they are okay because there are people who are worse off than them.

This kind of thing often requires comparison to compare the damage.

Hestia Familia is the only one who makes money, but the Hermes Familia, which has a larger faction, is different.

I heard that they had saved a lot of money, but as the participants this time were counted out one by one, the god was swaying when he went home, and his legs were weakening as if he had drunk two ounces of fake wine.

"Hiccup~~~~"

"Ah! No, I can't eat anymore..."

With a loud shout, Welf burped, and at the same time, Bell finished his food and stopped.
