041 "Expedition"
"Welcome."
Looking at Rig slowly coming from outside the door, Finn, Riveria, and Grace, who were originally talking about something, turned their heads together and focused their eyes on Rig's body, their eyes were like when they saw the treasure, full of satisfaction and relief.
"Captain, Lord Riveria, Old Man Grace."
Li Ge saluted the three heads of the family one by one, and his attitude was not respectful, but it was also a full courtesy.
"Don't be too polite, whatever."
Rivilia rarely changed her previous seriousness and rigor, and her delicate and beautiful face smiled at Rieger.
"Don't be nervous, a few of us old men are just looking for you to make small talk, as for you running alone to challenge the master of the 17th floor, Loki will talk about you later, and we won't be this villain."
Grace stroked his beard and said such things with a smile, which made Rieg feel a little embarrassed.
Naturally, he wouldn't tell Grace that Loki had already buried him.
After all, Rieg didn't tell anyone about going to the 17th floor to fight the main Goliath, so he went secretly, let alone Loki, and even Refia complained about it.
If it weren't for Rigg's eventual success in the challenge and his promotion, which diverted some of Loki and Refia's attention, Rige might still be being counted down by those two.
On the contrary, Ace, seeing that Li Ge succeeded in single-handedly challenging the floor master, seemed to have received some inspiration, and had been looking thoughtful since the morning, which made Li Ge a little worried about whether this puppet princess would be led crooked by herself, so as to do something reckless and dangerous.
In such a situation, Grace's ridicule really made Rieg a little stupid.
"What a mess."
Riveria also restrained her smile a little, and it didn't seem that she was unaware of the dangerous things that Rige had done.
Only Finn, looking at the super rookie in front of him who had created incredible results and achievements, and was promoted from Lv.1 to Lv.4 in just over a month, smiled and spoke.
"How? Have you adapted to the upgraded strength? ”
Finn's words were regarded as relieving Rig of the siege, which made Rieg secretly relieved.
"It's almost." Li Ge replied truthfully: "Go to the dungeon to fight once or twice, and you will probably be able to use it completely." ”
"That's good." Finn nodded and said with a smile: "The main reason for calling you here this time is to care about your progress and prepare for the upcoming expedition." ”
"Expedition?"
Li Ge was stunned at first, and then his eyes lit up.
"That's right, the Expedition." Finn naturally saw Lige's performance, a little helpless, and said with a slight smile: "It's been more than a month since I returned from the last expedition, and I'm waiting for the Loki clan to fight the dungeon again." ”
As one of the strongest clans in the Exploration Family, and one of the strongest clans in Olaria, the Loki Clan has always been at the forefront of the dungeon.
Just as adventurers take exploring dungeons as their job, it is inevitable for the Great Clan to launch an expedition to the dungeon.
It's just that, like the Loki family, every time they need to go on an expedition to the ultra-deep depths below the 50th floor, it takes a lot of effort just to prepare.
If nothing else, let's talk about the resources required for the expedition, which will take a lot of time to prepare.
Food and water are secondary, these can be picked up in the dungeon, mainly weapons, equipment, medicines, special items for various situations, etc., which usually take more time to prepare.
Therefore, a large clan like the Loki clan will only launch an expedition once a month or two.
Now, it's that time.
And the reason why the three Finn called Rig here is simple.
"Although you have only joined the clan for less than two months, it stands to reason that you should not be allowed to participate in such a major clan activity as an expedition as soon as you come up, but you are already Lv.4, and we want you to follow us on the next expedition." Finn said, "It's something that the three of us decided together, and Loki personally agreed, and if you have any opinions, you can bring them up here." ”
Opinion?
How could Rieg have an opinion?
Expedition to the super deep depths of the dungeon, and fight with the high-level monsters that inhabit there and are basically uncared about, this is what Li Ge can't ask for.
He had been looking forward to the expedition for a long time, and now that he finally had this opportunity, he certainly wouldn't miss it.
And so———
"I don't have any opinions." Without hesitation, Rieg replied, "Please let me participate." ”
Rieger made no secret of his expectations and desires.
This made the three of Finn look at each other and smile bitterly one after another.
"I know that your kid will definitely not be able to ask for it."
Grace looked angry.
"Originally, I thought that you were better than Ace and a few of them to make us worry, but it seems that we still have to take a good look at you."
Riveria sighed even more.
"It's best if you don't have an opinion." Finn shook his head and smiled, and then continued: "However, the expedition is big, and it is your first time, think about it, is there anything you need to prepare?" ”
Finn's words sent Rig deep in thought.
He really didn't have much to prepare.
If you were someone else, you might have to prepare your own equipment, prepare medicines or something, but Li Ge basically didn't need it.
The development ability of "Light Equipment" means that Rig no longer needs to be equipped with armor, and the less equipment he has on him, the better, and the less weight he can carry, the better, so when he reaches Lv. 2, Rig has already abandoned his armor.
Li Ge also doesn't need too many medicines, whether it is physical strength or mental power, because of the skill effect of [Endless Ending], holding the relationship between the highest level of "healing" and "fine healing", he has never been tired, plus "abnormal resistance" is also the highest level, not afraid of abnormal states, except for the high-level elixir and elixir that can treat injuries, Li Ge's demand for other medicines is not high.
During the expedition, the dependents would be able to afford most of the medicines, and Riege would not need to go through any trouble to prepare them.
In this way, Riger needs to prepare for basically nothing.
..... No, it's not.
There is one thing that really needs to be resolved.
Thinking of this, Rig involuntarily turned his gaze to his waist.
There, a sword was hanging, worn by Rige.
Finn noticed this.
"I see, is there something wrong with the weapon?"
Finn summed up Rige's condition.
Riveria and Grace looked at each other, but they were not puzzled.
"Is it because of Ace's magic?"
Riveria spoke.
"Yes." Rieg nodded and sighed, "Because of magic, the weapons I have at hand are indeed a little too strong to keep up with the current strength. ”
The weapon Rige is currently using was specially crafted when he reached Lv.2.
In the battle with the crocodile, the Rapier, the main weapon used by Riege, was overburdened and shattered on the spot due to the fact that the [Wind Spirit Rush] was released with the maximum output.
After that, Rig found a reputable weapons shop and entrusted the crocodile claws that Refia had picked up for him as raw materials to the blacksmiths there, entrusting them with the task of crafting new weapons for himself.
In the end, for the price of 800,000 phari (a friendly grant from an elven girl), Rig succeeded in obtaining a third-class weapon, which is the weapon he is now using.
A third-level weapon, logically speaking, as the main weapon of a second-level adventurer, is completely sufficient.
At least, if you are a normal adventurer, you can still barely continue to use it even if you reach Lv.4, and you will not be held back by weapons.
But for Rig, who has an exception-breaking level magic like [Wind Spirit Speed] and needs to put too much load on the weapon at any time, it is already a bit powerless to use this third-level weapon created from the claws of a crocodile.
Not to mention that it will be upgraded to Lv.4, but it was a bit dangerous to use before.
For example, when he encountered the Monster Feast on the 16th floor, in order to break through and protect Refia, Li Ge once again liberated the maximum output of [Wind Spirit Rush], causing a crack in the sword in his hand.
When he singled out the floor master on the 17th floor, Li Ge also liberated the maximum output of [Wind Spirit Speed], and this time there was not one, but several, and it was almost not directly broken.
Both of these breakages caused Rieg to spend a lot of money on repairs to the weapons afterwards.
Now, Rig is already Lv.4, his strength has skyrocketed again, and the power of magic is bound to become stronger than in the past, if he uses [Wind Spirit Rush] to fight, I'm afraid, there is no need to liberate to the maximum output, as long as Rig moves a little bit of real grid, it may cause damage to the weapon.
It's just too much to fight for.
In particular, Li Ge has already obtained the development ability of "Swordsman", and whether he has a sword in his hand or not will greatly affect his strength.
So———
"If there's anything I need to prepare, I'll probably need to find a weapon that's tough enough and strong enough."
Thinking about it, he felt that this matter should be the only thing he needed to work on to prepare, and it was also a top priority at the moment.
"Weapons?"
Riveria and Grace nodded in unison.
"Okay." Finn also pondered for a while, and then said to Rige, "In that case, you can come with me to the Hephaestus family." ”
Hephaestus family.
This is the foremost blacksmith in Olalie.
In Olaria, there are all kinds of families, including the exploration families whose main purpose is to explore the dungeons, and the commercial families who operate commercial activities, and the Hephaestus families are the latter.
The main business method of this clan is to sell all kinds of weapons and equipment, and the members of the clan are basically high-level forgers, that is, people who have learned the development ability of "forging".
"I have a batch of orders that need to be placed over there, and since you need weapons, come with me."
Finn extended an invitation to Riger.
"Good!"
Rieger nodded heavily.
It didn't take long for the two of them to walk out of the office together and leave the Pavilion of Dusk.
