Wrong, the blind swordsman of the Amed family

Xier's eyes were shining, and she counted Bai Ye one by one with her fingers, and even mentioned Livilia, which made Bai Ye laugh and cry.

"This... is just a coincidence."

"But I definitely don't hate it. After all, everyone has helped me a lot."

"Alright... Sister Seele, stop teasing me with these questions. I should go get the sword from the Hephaestus Familia."

Bai Ye was not stupid, of course he knew that Xier was "tease" him. After drinking the milk, he jumped off the high chair and ran away.

Xier looked at Bai Ye's departing back with a faint smile, and then her eyes fell on the cup of milk that Bai Ye had just drunk.

There was still a hint of silver luster at the rim of the cup, and her gaze gradually became subtle.

Chapter 81: Lefiya: "This is the token of love Bai Ye gave me!"

Hephaestus Family Shop, this is Bai Ye’s third time here. The maintenance of Guanshi Zhengzong has been completed. This time Bai Ye came here to get a knife.

After the last banquet of the gods, Bai Ye asked Hephaestus to take the knife back. Chun was supposed to take it, but she was drunk.

This time, Bai Ye came not just to get a knife, but to calculate how much savings he had now and whether he could make a good dagger.

After all, it was a gift he was going to give to someone, so he naturally couldn't use his family's money. Fortunately, Bai Ye had saved a lot of money from exploring the dungeon in the past few months, so he should be able to pay for the private commission from Hephaestus the Blacksmith.

As for Chun's forging commission, there is no need to even think about it. Her fee is more than hundreds of thousands of faris, not to mention the subsequent forging and material costs.

"Lefiya mentioned before that she also wants to become a magic swordsman. Although it's a bit unrealistic, as a companion, we should support her."

Bai Ye was strolling around the shop of Hephaestus's family, thinking about this matter in his mind.

Earlier, when exploring the underground maze, Lefiya mentioned her desire to become a magic swordsman like Liu.

Alicia was surprised by her sudden idea. After all, Lefiya was perfectly suited to the position of magician.

But as a senior, she did not undermine Lefiya's confidence and aspirations, but instead asked her to start practicing from parallel chanting and various dodging reactions.

Liu also gave this younger generation of elves some advice in this regard. Becoming a magic swordsman is not something that can be achieved overnight, but requires continuous practice.

Bai Ye naturally took this matter to heart, so after saving up 500,000 faris, he planned to use the money to make a dagger for Lefiya.

As for whether she can become a magic swordsman, it depends on Lefiya's talent and whether her training is hard enough. Bai Ye has done his best.

"Hey, Bai Ye, come and get the knife." At this moment, Hephaestus' voice came. At this time, she was instructing her family members about something in front of a shop.

When she saw Bai Ye coming, she chuckled and greeted him. Bai Ye naturally noticed her fluctuation early in the morning, but did not disturb her because she was busy.

"Well... practicing these days has been a bit boring, and I want to explore the dungeon as soon as possible." Bai Ye responded with a smile, revealing a hint of urgency.

Although Bai Ye could endure the boredom of cultivation, it should be said that he had become accustomed to this boredom.

But the underground maze is a better place for Bai Ye to practice, where he can constantly improve himself through battles and become more familiar with controlling the power of waves.

At present, Bai Ye is becoming more and more proficient in controlling his own fluctuating power, but he still needs to continue fighting to break through his current "critical point".

"You seem quite keen on exploring the underground labyrinth, but I heard that Loki's family is about to embark on an expedition. I don't think your elf companion can go with you, right?"

Hephaestus smiled with satisfaction when she saw that Bai Ye was still so enthusiastic about the underground maze, and then she asked with a hint of doubt.

Although the customized weapons of Loki's family are basically made by the Gubernium family, ordinary weapons can still be purchased from the Hephaestus family.

Therefore, Hephaestus naturally knew about the upcoming expedition of Loki's family, and she also recruited blacksmiths from their family to repair and forge weapons during the expedition.

Bai Ye nodded slightly upon hearing this. "Yes, Lefiya has been assigned to the First Army of the expeditionary force. She should be learning new magic from Senior Livilia during this period."

Bai Ye remembered the news that Alicia told him, but there was actually one thing that Alicia did not reveal, which was that Lefiya was "punished" because of him.

But fortunately, she didn't tell Bai Ye. If she had told him, Lefiya would probably not be able to face Bai Ye. She would be so ashamed that she wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into and escape from this world.

"That means... you have no companions to explore the underground maze with you now?" Hephaestus' eyes shone, and she seemed to have thought of something, with a slight curve at the corner of her mouth.

"Well, I also plan to find new companions to form a team. Let's go to the guild when the time comes." Bai Ye nodded slightly when he heard this, but he was also a little confused as to why Hephaestus suddenly asked this.

"Is there something wrong? Lady Hephaestus, if you need any help, please let me know."

Bai Ye is not a fool. Hephaestus would not ask this for no reason. There must be something going on.

"What a clever kid, very likable. There is indeed something I need your help with, but we can talk about it after you get the knife from Tsubaki. Come on, I'll take you there."

Hephaestus smiled gently upon hearing this and gently touched Bai Ye's head, keeping it a secret and not telling Bai Ye immediately.

Of course, she wouldn't let Bai Ye's work be in vain.

Bai Ye didn't ask any more questions when he saw this, but nodded and followed Hephaestus to Tsubaki's private forging room.

After walking in, Chun was forging some "unique" weapons. This is also her personal hobby, creating various magic swords.

"Bai Ye, you're here. Your Guanze Zhengzong is indeed powerful. It's completely different from the first time we resonated."

Chun smiled in surprise when she saw Bai Ye coming, and then told about the changes she noticed in Guan Ze Masamune during the maintenance.

Compared with before, there is even more "thunder" in it. You should know that this is a characteristic that only the "magic sword" has, but it appears on Bai Ye's Guanze Zhengzong.

This is enough to shock people, and this power comes from the [link] between Bai Ye's own power and Guan Shi Zheng Zong.

Bai Ye was not overly surprised when he heard this. He had realized this before, and he also roughly knew why this lightning was born from the blade.

It is probably because of the instantaneous thunder, and the residual power of ghosts and gods was absorbed by Guanshi Zhengzong, so it has this unique [lightning light].

Bai Ye immediately took Guanshi Zhengzong from Chun's hand. The power of the wave dissipated at this moment, and a deep blue luster flowed in it. The wave flowed in the space, rippling waves.

This scene made Hephaestus and Tsubaki look at each other in amazement. As blacksmiths, they could clearly feel the extent to which Bai Ye and Guan Ze Masamune were in harmony.

"Thank you, Miss Chun. How much is the maintenance fee?" Bai Ye smiled and sheathed the Guanze Zhengzong, then asked softly.

It will definitely cost a lot of money to maintain your own Guanshi Zhengzong. If you don’t have enough money, you can only pay in installments.

"Come on, you don't have to pay for this. Dean Kate has recorded all your expenses here, and the bill will be sent to your family for settlement."

Hephaestus waved her hand to indicate that it was not necessary, and at the same time explained the reason clearly so that Bai Ye would not think too much about it.

"Is that so..." Bai Ye was a little surprised when he heard this, but he nodded without insisting. He also knew that Lord Dean Kate was cultivating him.

All we can say is that Bai Ye is lucky. In addition to having talent and strength, his clan is also willing to allocate resources to him.

If it weren't for Guanshi Zhengzong, Bai Ye's current strength would have dropped by at least 30%. This is the improvement brought by a good weapon.

Unless Bai Ye reaches the realm of [Ultimate] of the third awakening, at that point weapons are actually no longer important, and the waves flow among all things to comprehend everything.

However, this level of realm is too far away from Bai Ye. It is really unimaginable to comprehend the Divine Art of Waves and the Waves of the Sky.

"By the way...are these demonic swords? I've heard of these swords before."

Bai Ye's attention was now drawn to the magic sword forged by Chun, and he couldn't help but ask curiously.

I'm not the one who can save you.

The so-called magic sword is a magical weapon that can only be forged by some high-level blacksmiths. It is quite rare and expensive.

Although the magic released by the magic sword is less powerful than magic cast by human power, it has the advantages of not requiring chanting, not consuming the user's magic power, and can be activated instantly and continuously. In addition, almost anyone can use the magic sword.

The magic sword is also a weapon that is extremely easy to damage. It will often shatter after one or several spells are cast. It is a consumable item.

Bai Ye had some understanding of this, and the most famous forged magic sword was the one made by the Krozo clan.

The magic sword forged by the Krozo clan, a magic sword forging family, is qualitatively different from other magic swords. The magic sword forged by the Krozo clan, who possess the [Magic Sword Bloodline] brought by the immortal blood, is called "Krozo's Magic Sword."

While possessing the unique ease of use of a magic sword, it also possesses powerful firepower comparable to that of a first-level adventurer's magic.

Bai Ye had heard about this clan from Alicia, and her hometown had once been destroyed by the magic sword.

Since the Kingdom of Lakia once used Krozo's magic sword to destroy many elves' homes in war, most elves deeply hate magic swords, especially Krozo's magic sword.

The Umbrella Bar

"Well, the magic swords forged by Chun are all of very good quality. I just want to forge a stronger magic sword, or rather, I want to get closer to the forging skills of the Krozo family, so I keep practicing."

Hephaestus spoke up at this time to explain for Bai Ye.

"But these demonic swords are incomparable to your Guanye's. It should be said... unless it's forged by Lady Hephaestus herself, there's no other weapon in all of Orario that can rival the sword in your hand."

Chun smiled, her fiery gaze falling on Guanze Masamune. She was extremely satisfied with this work, especially since Bai Ye allowed her to witness that the resonance between humans and weapons was real.

You know, even for a god like Hephaestus, it is rare to see a human being's heart resonate with a weapon, and even make the weapon develop [self-awareness]. Bai Ye is a unique existence.

After a brief chat, Hephaestus took Bai Ye away. She wanted to tell Bai Ye what she had asked her to do.

"Bai Ye, there is indeed something I need to trouble you with. A new child has come to my clan, and he wants to see the underground maze."

"It just so happens that the elf girl is going on an expedition soon. I was wondering if you could take her to the underground maze and just explore the first ten floors."

Hephaestus thought of that special child who even forged a magic sword in order to join her clan, and she couldn't help but smile with interest.

Although she didn't understand why the other party made such a vow, Hephaestus naturally accepted such an interesting child.

"Is this... a little inappropriate? Am I strong enough to lead newcomers in exploring the underground maze?"

Bai Ye was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that Hephaestus would ask him to do such a thing. He didn't refuse immediately, but raised his eyebrows slightly and expressed his concerns.

After all, he was only Lv2, and didn't seem suitable to lead a newcomer to explore the dungeon maze, at least that's what Bai Ye thought.

"Of course you can. Your Lv2 is no ordinary level. I've never seen a Lv2 who can freely kill monsters on the 19th floor."

Hephaestus also knew Bai Ye's cautious character, and immediately expressed her opinion of Bai Ye.

After all, Bai Ye is now a celebrity in Orario, so his performance in the underground maze will naturally be noticed by others, and the battle on the 19th floor was also witnessed by many people.

"Well then, I will not let down your trust, Lady Hephaestus." Bai Ye agreed after hesitating for a moment.

Putting aside the care Hephaestus showed him, just the price of Guanshi's authentic forging and the growth potential shown afterwards were actually the biggest discounts he had received. It could be said that it was a favor.

"I like your personality, kid. Come on, I'll take you to get to know each other briefly."

When Hephaestus saw Bai Ye agreed, she looked particularly happy and immediately took Bai Ye to another forging room.

In the forging room, a red figure was lingering in the firelight. It was about 15 meters tall and looked to be years old. This was Bai Ye's first impression.

"Welf, come and meet your [Senior]. He will be leading the next few dungeon explorations."

Hephaestus called out to Welf, who was forging a weapon.

The red-haired boy called Welf was stunned for a moment, then looked outside the door and found a white-haired boy who was much shorter than him standing next to Hephaestus.

Hey, Tieme, don't care so much about your height! Bai Ye noticed that he was looking at his height and couldn't help but feel a little more resentful.

Because of his 1.3-meter height, he has a lot of resentment. Everyone "bullies" him because of his height, especially Xier, who always picks him up and puts him on a chair.

Welf recognized at a glance that the Bai Ye in front of him was the legendary little hero [Asura]. He didn't expect that Hephaestus was not bragging, she really knew this Bai Ye.

"Hello, Welf. I'm Bai Ye... If nothing goes wrong, I'll be your mentor during your exploration of the dungeon."

Bai Ye stretched out his hand and smiled at Welf, his expression as gentle as a spring breeze. For a moment, Welf was stunned, but he soon realized his mistake and stretched out his hand.

"Hello, Bai Ye, my name is Welf... Crozo."

Welf simply shook hands with Bai Ye and introduced himself. When he mentioned his last name, he was obviously struggling and hesitant, but he still said it.

"Krozo... is that..." Bai Ye's expression was filled with surprise that was hard to conceal when he heard the surname Krozo. After all, he had just mentioned the Krozo family when chatting with Chun.

"Well, but I won't forge magic swords anymore, so...this clan has nothing to do with me." Welf was not surprised when he heard Bai Ye's surprised cry. Instead, he nodded slightly in acknowledgment and explained the situation.

"Oh oh..." Bai Ye responded after hearing this, but did not ask any more questions. After all, this was Welf's own privacy. They had just met, so there was no need to dig into the matter.

Bai Ye had a strong sense of propriety and boundaries, so Hephaestus was relieved. After all, if she continued to ask about this matter, it would make both sides feel very embarrassed.

"Although Welf doesn't forge magic swords, the weapons and armor he forges are all of excellent quality, comparable to some blacksmiths who have been with the team for a few years."

Hephaestus on the side praised Welf's abilities. This was why Hephaestus accepted him. Even if he couldn't forge magic swords, his forging talent was extremely high. If he was trained well, he could even become the next [Chun].

"Ahem... Actually, it's not as exaggerated as Lady Hephaestus said, but the quality of the weapons can still be guaranteed." After receiving the praise from Hephaestus, Welf looked a little uncomfortable, obviously a little shy of being praised.

Bai Ye's expression shifted when he heard this. A smile appeared on his face, as if he had thought of something. He then spoke, "Then... Welf, can you forge me a short sword? The price is 50 Farleys, and the color should be based on the color of Yamabuki."

Bai Ye's words made Welf and Hephaestus, who were present, stunned. They obviously didn't expect that Bai Ye would actually entrust Welf to forge a dagger. It was really surprising, and he asked for 50 fares at the very beginning.

Hephaestus was a little surprised at first, but after hearing the last sentence with a Yamabuki-style tone, she realized that Bai Ye made this dagger to give it to someone. If she guessed correctly, it should be the elf girl from Loki's family.

Tsk tsk... How romantic! A "token of love" between the white-haired boy and the Yamabuki-colored elf? And Bai Ye didn't mention the debt; it was obvious he'd used his own money to create this special gift for the elf girl.

"This... 50 faris? I..." Welf was also surprised by Bai Ye's price. He really didn't expect that his first private commission after joining the Hephaestus family would be 50 faris. It was really unexpected.

"Is it too little? It doesn't matter. Just tell me an exact number and I will earn it as soon as possible." Bai Ye felt that his money was too little after seeing Welf's reaction. After all, 50 Farleys seemed a bit too little considering the forging fee and material cost.

And it seems easy to see from Hephaestus's attitude that she thinks highly of Welf. For such a talented blacksmith, 50 Farley is indeed not enough if he thinks about it carefully.

"No, no, no... it's too much. I've never forged a weapon worth 50 fares. Actually... my current forging skills aren't worth that price."
