The largest and strongest forge faction in the city, the Hephaestus family.

There is no need to explain the skill and level of this family in blacksmithing, and since Finn intends to find a forge faction to cooperate, it is only natural that he will think of them.

However, there is another important reason why Finn wants to cooperate with the Hephaestus family.

That is, as a large faction with many high-level forgers, the forgers of the Hephaestus clan are not only highly skilled in forging, but also have higher combat ability than ordinary high-level adventurers.

There is no way, if you want to become a senior forger, you have to learn the development ability of "forging", and if you want to learn and develop ability, the necessary condition is to upgrade.

In such a situation, many forges with high forging skills are actually skilled fighters, such as Tsubaki, as the strongest forge in the city, she is the first level adventurer of Lv.5.

Finn judged from this aspect, believing that even if the members of the Hephaestus clan went on an expedition to the depths with their own clan, they would not easily encounter accidents and accidents, let alone pull them back.

That's why Finn designated this faction.

Li Ge is well aware of these considerations.

After all, in the original book, Finn made the same choice.

“…………”

Rieg thought about it, but ultimately didn't intervene in the decision.

In fact, if you only want weapons, if you want to deal with those worm-type monsters, and deal with that tricky corrosive liquid, now Li Ge has a way.

He could use the tectonic magic of the Akaxia Continent to make weapons, and with his current magical attainments, even if the weapons he made could not reach the level of first-class weapons, they would definitely not be inferior to second-level weapons.

He can also use magic to enhance and bless the weapons of Finn and others, and even enchant their weapons, not only will they not be corroded by corrosive liquids, but they can also increase their power.

He can also cast protective magic on everyone, so that even if they face female monsters and worm-type monsters, they don't have to worry about the corrosive liquid sputtered when the monsters explode themselves, and they don't have to worry about getting hurt.

He could even open the [Portal] and teleport his companions to the 58th floor in one go, avoiding the needless battles and wasted time in the early stage.

As long as he is willing to make a move, he will use those rank magic that have somewhat terrifying effects in this world one by one, and most of the problems during the clan expedition can be solved.

But can he make a move?

At least, in Riege's opinion, he had better not get involved in such a thing.

The reason is simple, the expeditions and adventures of the clan are not only to achieve honor and success, but also to achieve greater strength.

Think about it, if Rig solves all the problems, how can the adventurers take risks?

And if they can't take the risk, how can they accumulate experience points and even high-level experience points?

Even if Rig opened the [Portal] leading to the 58th floor and sent his companions there, avoiding the needless battles and waste of time in the early stage, what would the final result be?

Obviously, the low-level members of the clan will lose a lot of adventure opportunities and experience points that can be accumulated, and they will be stuck in the same place.

If Rieger, including Bert, Tina, Thione, and other first-level adventurers, solves the problems they encounter with his all-powerful magical ability and successfully reaches the 59th floor, then their desire to catch up with Ace, catch up with Rige, and ascend to Lv.6 will be completely shattered.

If it becomes like that, I am afraid that Rieg will not only not be thanked by them, but may be blamed by them.

This point was also reminded to Finn and the others when Rig showed the [Wanbao Hammer], a foul-level magic with the effect of level sublimation, yesterday.

"Although this magic is powerful, if it is not necessary, you better use it sparingly."

"That's right, the power that can be forcibly enhanced by magic, even if it can overcome all difficulties, it will take away the possibility from you."

"If the adventure that could have allowed you to achieve great feats was easily solved with level ascension, then the high-level experience points you should have earned should be drastically reduced."

Finn, Grace, and Riveria have discovered the true drawbacks of the [Manbao Hammer] with years of experience and keen insight.

The real downside of this magic is not the time limit, let alone the cooldown, but the possibility of becoming stronger from those who need to take risks.

Naturally, Riege is the most aware of this drawback.

He is now limiting himself in order to accumulate advanced experience points and achieve great achievements, if it is not too high level and too strong, why is this?

Therefore, Li Ge naturally did not care about small things, and accepted the advice of Finn and the others in full, nodding yes.

In the same way, he can't take away the possibility from his fellow clansmen now.

In view of this, Rig decided to sit idly by and watch the expedition, even if he had a way to easily solve various problems and make the expedition of his family easier, he was not prepared to intervene and let Finn and the others do these troublesome things.

Instead, Rig pulled out a bag of marijuana and handed it to Finn.

"What is this?"

Finn was puzzled for a moment, then opened the sack and saw what was inside.

"Poof!" Loki glanced at it curiously, then spat out and exclaimed, "Where are so many gems and gold and silver treasures!?" ”

Yes, the sack is filled with all kinds of precious stones and gold and silver treasures, and the inside of the sack radiates a dazzling brilliance.

"This is the reward given last time by the mysterious magician who entrusted me and Ace to go to the 24th floor to solve the monster surge." Li Ge smiled slightly and said, "I only took two magic books, the remaining one was given to Ace, and the rest are here." ”

"I've discussed it with Ace, and I'll give these things to the family to use for the funds needed during the expedition."

"The losses caused by the failure of the last expedition were not small, and this time I have to prepare so many magic swords and weapons with non-bad attributes, and selling these things should be able to fill some of the gaps in funds, right?"

Needless to say, weapons with bad attributes are expensive to death, and the minimum price of each piece must be more than 10 million falises, not to mention the first-class products that are ready to be used by first-level adventurers, to say the least, it will cost nearly 100 million fali to buy one, but the family is ready to prepare one for almost all the cadres, which must not cost nearly a billion falisa?

The magic sword is a special weapon that can instantly hit the magic cannonball, the price is also not cheap, one will cost millions of magic, if it is a high-quality and powerful product, even a first-level adventurer can threaten a high-end product, then if it is not sold for more than 10 million magicians, it will definitely be a loss sale, but this thing is still a consumable with a limited number of uses, and Finn is obviously ready to buy a large number of them, which has to throw hundreds of millions of magicians into it.

Coupled with the rest of the materials, not to mention anything else, let's just say that the strongest effect and the highest quality elixir, the retail price of this thing in the Dean Kate clan is a bottle of 500,000 faries, during the expedition, the Loki clan bought this thing, basically bought it in bundles......

To sum up, in this expedition, it is impossible for the Loki clan not to spend billions of faries to buy supplies and equipment.

By the way, the main armament of the last expedition to Finn, Grace, Bert and others has also been dissolved, and if it is rebuilt, it is estimated that it will cost another amount of money.

However, this is a weapon for personal use, and it is usually not prepared by the family members, but by the person himself, and does not need to be counted in the loss of funds for the expedition.

However, even if this is the case, if the Loki clan, who suffered huge losses in the last expedition, still have to prepare so many materials and lose so much money in this expedition, then the clan assets accumulated so far may be completely successful, and even saddled with huge debts.

So, when Rig went to Ace with the commission, Ace said that he would give them to Finn for the money he needed for the expedition.

"Oooh! That's a huge help! ”

Realizing this, Loki danced with joy.

"Great, great, we thought we were going to sell collectibles this time, this is simply a solution to our urgent needs!"

Next to him, Finn also smiled, and without excuse, put away the sack full of gems, gold and silver.

"It's still the people of the guild who have money, such a large amount of treasure, they just took it out, and I haven't seen them so generous when they sent commissions in the past."

These words can be regarded as meaningful.

"Hmph, which of those guys in the guild isn't rich?" Loki snatched the sack, picked up a gem and played with it, and said with a grin: "That's the only producer of magic stone products, the official organization that monopolizes all the magic stone business, and lacks everything, but there is no shortage of money." ”

"Forget it, don't talk about them." Finn shook his head, turned around, and said to Rige, "Since you're going to the Hephaestus family, come with us." ”

"Okay."

Naturally, Rieger didn't have any opinions.

At that moment, the two of them left the family base camp together and went to Northeast Street.

…………

As the manufacturing hub of Orali's proud magic stone products, Northeast Street is still the same as when Rieg came before, because of the prosperity of the manufacturing industry, the atmosphere of a standard man's factory in broad daylight is a standard.

Rig, Finn, and Loki walked down the street, chatting as they went, and after a while they came to Tsubaki's workshop.

Here, there was a person who arrived early and was waiting for Rieg and the others.

"Yo! Fifi! Here we go! ”

As soon as he saw the man, Loki immediately raised his hand, stretched his limbs, and greeted him vigorously.

"Long time no see, Loki."

The man also turned his head and looked this way.

She has short, brightly colored red hair, and her appearance is more heroic than beautiful, and she wears a large eye patch on her face that covers the right half of her face, and the rest of her eyes are the same fiery red as her hair, as if burning with flames, which makes people breathe.

"Long time no greetings, Goddess Hephaestus."

Finn bowed respectfully.

This red-haired woman with one eye is the main god of the Hephaestus clan, the largest blacksmith faction in the city.

She is the goddess of forging.

She is the goddess of fire.

She was Hephaestus.

"I've seen the goddess Hephaestus."

Confirming that the other party was the person he was looking for (God), Rig also bowed.

"Huh?" The goddess Hephaestus looked at Rige, and her only exposed left eye first looked at Rige for a while, and then seemed to see something, and said, "Aren't you the strongest magic swordsman in the city, the monster newcomer that the Loki family is proud of, that Rig Brihaut?" ”

The other party actually saw Riege's identity at a glance.

"Recognized so quickly, huh? Fifi! ”

Loki grinned as if he was proud.

"Because Tsubaki mentioned him to me." Hephaestus smiled, and the smile was still heroic, and said: "This is the child who made the head of my family full of praise, and even dedicated the highest masterpiece of his life, I have long wanted to meet." ”

"That's right." Loki put his hands in his pockets and said nonchalantly: "This kid seems to be looking for Fei Fei to have something to do with you, if you don't mind, you can talk to him later." ”

"Looking for me?" Hephaestus was stunned for a moment, and wondered: "Is there anything to find me?" ”

"Well, let him tell you later." Loki waved his hand and asked casually, "Let's get down to business first, okay?" Kid Rieger? ”

"Of course." Li Ge smiled faintly: "Let's talk about the expedition first, I can talk about it at any time." ”

"Okay." Hephaestus could only nod and said, "Then go in first, Tsubaki is already waiting inside." ”

With that, the group walked into the workshop together under the leadership of Hephaestus.

Tsubaki's workshop is still the same as in the past, and it looks very dirty and unorderly.

Tsubaki himself was the same as last time, staying in the forge deep in the workshop, and was pounding a piece of metal hard.

"Tsubaki, we're here."

Finn called out to her, and she came back to her senses to find a group of people standing outside the forge.

However, the city's strongest forger's attention was the first to be on Li Ge, who was on the sidelines, and rushed over.

"You kid, you're finally here!"

As soon as he came up, Tsubaki said such things in a very unangry tone.

“…… I didn't offend you, did I? ”

Listening to Tsubaki's tone and looking at Tsubaki's attitude, Li Ge was also a little stunned.

"Not really." Tsubaki still looked so angry, and even glared at Li Ge, and said, "But since you took away the contemptible masterpiece from me, you haven't come to show your face for nearly two months, do you know how anxious I am?" ”

"Even if you bring the sword over and let the contemptible help you sharpen it and maintain it, that's fine!"

"That's the best equipment I've worked so hard to build, so at least let me see how it's used!"

Tsubaki lost his temper for such a reason, causing Finn and Loki to look at each other for a while.

"Tsubaki, you......"

Hephaestus sighed as well.

"Uh......"

Rieg was speechless.

That's it?

It can only be said that he is worthy of being a forger.
