Chapter 111 Weapon: Heaven's Mace

"You probably have something to give to Jester-san."

In order to gain Fels's trust, Charles brought out the agreement that was only between the two of them.

"Yes."

Fels took out a spherical prop from his pocket. Compared to the "Eye of Daedalus" in Charles' hand, this imitation had a spider-web-like crystal structure in the center.

Charles took the prop, looked at it, and returned it to Fels:

"Jester has already seized the "key" from the enemy. You can leave this one to Mr. Brave."

"Also, Jester-san is going to attack the man-made maze in one day. He needs some other help than a key. For example, a handy weapon."

Ciel pushed out the "Dil's Steel" and "Great Sacred Tree Branch" behind him.

"I was just about to go to the Hephaestus family to give a commission. Since you are here, Lord Fels, can you take on this commission?"

"These are..." Fels squatted hesitantly to confirm the materials.

"These are all spoils captured from defeating the secret faction." Charles answered simply.

Alfia did not use the [Trunks of the Great Sacred Tree]. To her, these props that were contaminated by dirty means were disgusting.

Therefore, Charles had two boxes of these materials in his hands.

Fels also let down her guard at this time. Even if it was an enemy trap, there was no need to spend so much money. And according to her understanding, Jester did lack a handy weapon.

"It's a small matter. I will send the weapons here as soon as possible." Fields paused: "But, what kind of weapons does she need?"

Charles returned to his room, took out a piece of parchment, and drew a simple diagram:

"It's an iron whip weapon, square with nine sections, with a sliding spike on the top of the handle. When the mechanism is activated, it can emit high-frequency vibrations. Its function is to identify the weaknesses of the opponent's weapons through the sound of the weapons colliding, and ultimately achieve the effect of shattering the weapons with one blow."

"The lower part of the handle is inlaid with a magic crystal, which uses the high conductivity of the "Great Saint Tree Trunk" and combines it with mithril to add magic."

The former is designed based on the Kanglong Mace, one of the Chinese magic weapons, which is used to "disarm" and destroy the opponent's weapons. The latter is a modified staff design that increases the power of spells.

"The materials here are enough to make two." Fels took the simple design drawings. She didn't know much about the forging part, but the magic and mechanisms in the second half were her areas of expertise and were not difficult.

"I'll bring the prototype tomorrow."

Before leaving, she paused and said vaguely, "It's better not to let Mali wander around outside. The city is very dangerous now."

Charles nodded. It seemed that Anya was noticed when she took Mary out.

However, compared to the church, Mia's place is obviously safer, especially now that the dark factions are about to come out in full force.

……

Saving the time of replacing equipment, Charles returned to the Soma clan for a rare visit.

The familiar room, the familiar obscene words, and the familiar big brother holding the waist.

"Brother, long time no see, I miss you so much."

Inform Chanis of the plan regarding the Rudra clan:

"...I think a businessman will contact Big Brother soon."

"Very good, brother Charles, as long as the ignition device is lifted, my heart will fall back into my stomach."

Having tasted the sweetness, Chanis planned to use the funds to expand the fireworks workshop. Just as the factories were shut down on a large scale and the labor force was idle, he could expand the number of employees.

"There are some stubborn people in the clan who took the lead in resisting the eldest brother and chose to go on strike. I suspect they are all traitors. Do you want to..." Charles made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Chanis nodded. "The return rate of the ignition device is 100 times. Humph, the return of fireworks will not be low either. Whoever stops me from making money now is a traitor! As for traitors... Brother Charles, you know how to deal with them!"

"Yes brother!"

Walking out of the room and listening to Chanis's greedy laughter inside, Charles also smiled.

If I give this money to Chanis, he will use the funds to make money for me and share the risks at the same time. Where can I find such a Palu?

The prelude to the great struggle has been raised, and the seven days of death are not far away.

It seems that the Soma clan is about to be doomed, caught in the vortex of good and evil, and the only end is to be shattered.

Charles has already found a new employer, whether it is Erebus or Rudra, they should be happy to take him over.

On his way home, he bought the necessary supplies and elixirs for Belle. He returned to the city wall in time to exchange Belle for Alfia's instruction.

The next day.

The attacks of the dark faction gradually intensified, and the thugs advanced from ordinary cannon fodder to level 2 and 3 cadres. The targets also changed from residents to adventurers of various levels. The combat forces of various clans in the city that could be used were fully mobilized, including Chanis.

Chanis didn't expect that the first fireworks business would come so soon.

"I need a batch of fireworks of different colors to convey the order."

In the command room of the Twilight Mansion, Finn intertwined his fingers and placed them under his nose.

Although these simple signals cannot convey complex commands, simple directions, retreat and attack can be achieved.

"We can also mix words into the fireworks." Tzanis gave another big surprise: "But the cost is that."

"Don't worry, we won't treat you unfairly. After we get through this difficult period, the guild will be responsible for the debt, and the Loki family can also guarantee it." Finn stood up, tiptoed and patted Chanis's shoulder:

"We will do our best to produce them. I have a feeling that in the near future, these fireworks will become a symbol of victory and hope."

"It's my pleasure, Mr. Finn."

Although it was a blank check, for Chanis, as long as the city won, fireworks would become a must-have consumable during festivals and holidays, and there would be an endless source of wealth.

If they lose, Finn will naturally have nothing to do with it, and he can just follow Rudra and enjoy the good life.

According to Charles's advice, Chanis did not forget to ask Loki for the divine wine. Unexpectedly, under Finn's persuasion, he actually asked for a jar of "Soma wine", which made Loki very dissatisfied.

With the divine wine, the palus became more motivated, and after only a few days, they had already begun to miss its taste again.

……

Belle is still active in various places in the city, and Finn uses her mobility to deal with very tough bones everywhere.

At this time, Charles was sleeping soundly in Chardo's body, which was a rare occurrence.

That afternoon, Firth arrived late, holding two carved wooden boxes in her arms, and knocked on the wooden door of the church.

Charles went out, took the box happily and opened it.

Two cylindrical iron rods emitting a faint cold metallic glow were placed inside.

Fels explained: "The weapon you envisioned, which has both high destructive power and conducts magic power, is too time-consuming to make, so I took the initiative to split it into two."

Forged by the Hephaestus family and crafted with magical technology carefully crafted by Fels, these two weapons represent two extremes.

One is a pure magic wand, made entirely of the branches of the Great Saint Tree, with a coating of mithril on the outside, which can increase the magic power by 50% while also having decent destructive power.

The other one is of pure quality, perfectly restoring the ability of the "Kanglong Mace". It not only increases the destructive power of the attack, but also has a chance to trigger the "cripple" and "crush" features.

"Not bad." Charles stroked the weapon, unable to hide the joy on his face.

Although it did not meet his requirement of having a mace that could serve two purposes at once, it still met his needs.

Belle cannot take away things from this world. These two "Dragon Maces" will return to Charles' hands sooner or later.

"Does it have a name?"

"No."

"Then let's call it Heaven's Mace."

Fels looked at the red lotus exploding in the distance and said with a serious expression:

"The secret faction has dispatched all cadres except the first-level ones. The battle situation in the city has also become tense. Finn can't contact Jester, so he asked me to give Jester a message..."

Chapter 112 The most skilled hunters often appear as prey.

Fels said earnestly, "The attack and defense on the ground will be taken over by the Freya family who were urgently recalled, but none of their hidden first-level adventurers have appeared. It is suspected that they are ambushing the jester, so... take this opportunity to attack the artificial maze and capture as many enemy gods as possible."

Ciel nodded obediently: "Okay, I'll convey it."

"And..." Fels hesitated for a moment, then continued, "The situation on the ground is complicated. Jester may not have support, so be careful. If you are defeated, please evacuate decisively... I don't want to see the hope of the lower world end, rather than a temporary victory or defeat."

Ciel nodded again: "I'll make a note of that."

Firth turned and left. She still needed to use her familiars to investigate the movements of the dark faction and pass the information to Finn in a timely manner.

Charles returned to the basement, where the dim magic stone lamp reflected the shadows of the two overlords.

"It's time to start." Charles drew out two weapons and hung them on his waist. He reached out to Alfia and said, "Lend me your strength."

Alfia and Chardo turned their backs to Ciel.

"Take it, and don't let us down."

"Wait for your triumphant return."

……

Leaving the church, Charles took small steps and rushed along West Street. Both sides of the street were full of flying flames; the monsters that were transported from underground to the ground were roaring.

There were corpses of adventurers scattered along the way, but more of them were members of the dark faction wearing white robes. Facing the city's combat power, the role of these cannon fodders was just to delay time.

Charles bypassed the shelter at the end of West Street, crossed the central square, and turned back to the Daedalus Street entrance in the southeast section.

Next door is Happy Street, where the newly born combat whores are gasping for breath as they resist attacks from some monsters.

From the other side of the battlefield, a small team of cannon fodder rushed out with magic swords in hand, seemingly mistaking Charles for a support force.

Hot lava, accompanied by a strong wind, shot out from four or five swords. Charles took a wrong step and hid behind the alley wall, and the rubble flew everywhere.

"Come and try to touch me again?!" Charles turned around and pointed at the group of secret faction soldiers and cursed.

What awaits him is, of course, ruthless magical bombardment!

"Fuck!" Charles covered his head and hid behind the broken house again. The walls gradually became hot and red, reaching their limit.

"Wait, I'll call for help!" He stuck his head out from behind the wall with a big hole burned in it, and shouted as he shot a cannonball that flashed with dazzling colors into the sky.

It exploded with a bang, and countless fireworks fell.

A huge word "danger" appeared above the heads of the group of people in white robes.

The next moment, a ray of lightning shot out from a distant building, and the sharp knife light turned into an afterimage and disappeared in a flash.

Belle stood up with a dagger in her hand and put it away. She looked at Charles shyly and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

stab.

The dark faction soldiers were covered in blood mist and fell to the ground, losing their ability to resist.

Charles threw the Kanglong mace on his waist to Belle: "Put it on, and let's go!"

Bei Er took it mid-air, and the huge force made his arm sink: "It's so heavy!"

Then, the sound of heavy weapons waving and breaking the wind echoed around her: "Wow, it's made by Hephaestus! It must be expensive!"

"It's free. Firth did it for us." Charles said, turning into a colorful cat shadow and crawling into Belle's arms.

Charles lay on the back of Belle's head and knocked on her head like a driver: "Let's go!"

……

Daedalus Street.

Belle walked through the complex staircases and criss-crossing paths, and encountered houses made of brick and tile structures, of different sizes and heights, with no uniformity.

"Don't come over here! Adventurers, don't bring the war into the slums!"

"Get out!"

Belle stepped on the vegetable leaves on the ground, surprise in her eyes.

"Why is this happening? Wasn't Daedalus Street attacked?"

Ciel sighed helplessly: "The complex structure here is destined to become a bridgehead for the dark faction. As long as this maze street is still there, Orario will be restricted whether it attacks or retreats."

"In fact, there are many bases of secret factions hidden in this maze street, but the Astraea family has no ability to search for them. Just investigating them requires a lot of effort, and by the time we find any clues, the people have already run away."

Belle dodged a rusty frying pan and sped up again: "So, that's why they don't want us to bring the battlefield here?"
