Under Tsubaki's dissatisfaction and entanglement, as a result, Li Ge still complied with her wishes, took the fool off his waist, and handed it to her.

"Not bad, it's really well maintained."

As soon as Tsubaki took the sword, he immediately rubbed it up and down as if he were caressing his own child, and his face was full of satisfaction and joy.

It can be seen that Tsubaki really regards the Fool as his highest masterpiece, and is proud of its birth.

"Alright, Tsubaki, it's time to get down to business."

Hephaestus seemed to take a look at Tsubaki like this, and quickly interrupted her and pulled her in front of Finn and Loki.

"I have a few things I'd like to confirm with you about the next expedition."

Finn immediately got into the subject, and together with Loki, he discussed it with Hephaestus and Tsubaki.

Specifically, it is a matter of confirming the date of the expedition, the number of participants, the strength of the participants, and how the final benefits of the cooperation should be distributed.

Loki seems to have confirmed with Hephaestus in advance that the two factions have decided to work together.

In the end, the Hephaestus clan decided to send about twenty members of the group to accompany the Loki clan on the expedition, each of these twenty people is at least Lv.3 senior forger, including Tsubaki himself, and the Loki clan promised to give all the dropped items to the Hephaestus clan in exchange for their assistance.

The two sides agreed on the date of departure and the meeting place, and the matter was settled.

After that, Hephaestus and Rig went to the corner of the workshop.

"Here it is." Hephaestus looked at Rieg with a fiery red eye and said, "What do you want me to do?" ”

Hearing this, Rieg did not hesitate.

"I want to entrust you with crafting a weapon for me."

Rieger went straight to the point and explained the purpose of his trip.

"Crafting weapons?" Hephaestus narrowed her eyes without changing her face and said, "Didn't you just get her supreme masterpiece from Tsubaki?" ”

"yes." Rig smiled at Hephaestus' red eyes that seemed to be able to see through the heart, and said, "But I also want to get the weapon made by the forging god himself." ”

It is true that both the Sword of the Fool and the Sword of the Hermit are special weapons that can be called the first rank.

However, for Lige, who has been upgraded to Lv.7 and can even exert combat power beyond the level, these two weapons can only be said to be barely usable.

They are gradually unable to keep up with the fast-growing Rige, and are being reduced to two ordinary weapons.

It can be said that if it weren't for the fact that these two weapons have incorruptible attributes, and Rig can use high-level magic to restore them to their best state this time, they would have been scrapped long ago.

Especially the Sword of the Fool, which Rig had rarely used before.

The hermit at least has the characteristics of the Sun Wheel Knife, which can cause additional damage to dark creatures that are afraid of light, and the blessing of high temperature, which increases the power of slashing, and can easily fuse ordinary weapons, but the Sword of the Fool has nothing but not bad attributes, and the only highlight is that it is light enough, which is somewhat useful for Li Ge, who has the development ability of "light equipment", and can appropriately improve his two basic abilities of "dexterity" and "agility".

However, this use is that after Li Ge successively acquired magic items such as the Giant's Glove and the Wyvern Talisman, it gradually became inconspicuous.

Whether he is using a fool or a hermit, Rig does not feel like he is holding a powerful sword and sword now.

[Fierce One] Ota actually has this tendency.

This Olarie's only Lv.7 does not always use a weapon as the main armament like the rest of the first-level adventurers, but carries a large number of weapons wherever he goes, and those weapons are all first-class products of good quality.

However, none of these weapons could withstand the true power of the "Heavens", and it didn't take long for them to be used up.

If it weren't for the non-bad attribute weapon that Rig had used in the first place, he would have been in the same situation as Ota long ago.

In such a situation, he really lacks a magic weapon that can defeat the enemy, even in the face of a strong enemy stronger than himself, he can defeat the opponent by himself.

This thought suddenly became even stronger after seeing the "Ice Maiden's" Zhenguo artifact and seeing Liz's true posture after the Moslow Sword was unsealed.

"Even a guy like Bone Aotian has world-class props in hand, but I've been using a weapon equivalent to an artifact?"

As soon as he thought of this, Rige always had the idea of a powerful weapon.

Now, he wanted Hephaestus, the forging god, to help him forge weapons.

Forge a weapon that is no less than a world-class item, no less than the "Ice Maiden", or even a weapon that is not inferior to Liz's Moslow's Sword of Moslow.

That's why Rieger wanted to meet Hephaestus, the goddess of forging.

Pity......

"It's a pity that I'm just an ordinary person now, if you want a more powerful weapon, then you should go to the children of my family."

Hephaestus shook his head, a clear sign of rejection.

Rig looked at Hephaestus with a straight look.

"Even if you are an ordinary person, you are a god craftsman in the field of blacksmithing."

Rieger said this with great certainty and conviction.

After the gods are in the lower realm, without exception, all of them will seal their own divine power and become omniscient and powerless beings.

In the Nether, the gods are just like ordinary ordinary people, with no power to speak of.

However, the fact that the divine power has been sealed does not mean that everything of the gods will be lost.

For example, their experience, their knowledge, their experience, these are all abilities that do not belong to divine power, but belong directly to them.

How could the gods see if the children of the lower realm were lying?

Without him, it is precisely because of their transcendent perspective and vision, coupled with the experience of life (divine birth) that the people of the lower realms lie in front of them, it is easy for them to see it.

There are also beauty gods like Freya and Ista, whose "beauty" itself is both a power and an external condition, and does not belong to the category of divine power.

In particular, Freya's pair of perceptive eyes are born to see through the human soul, just as people can naturally see through the external landscape, and the goddess is also naturally able to see through the inner soul, which is a quality of its own, a kind of vision, and it also does not belong to the category of divine power.

Therefore, if it is because God is an ordinary person who has no power to speak of after the lower realm, it is a big mistake.

Even if the gods in charge of the harvest lose their powers, they know how to produce good food.

Even if the gods in charge of war lose their divine powers, they know how to arrange their troops and how to win on the battlefield.

The god of wine can make a fine wine that even the gods will get drunk in one gulp.

The god of textiles can make fine fabrics and make beautiful clothes.

It's not divine power, it's knowledge, it's skill.

Therefore, even if the divine power is sealed, some of the gods can perform miracles in the realm of the things they control.

With pure technology to the pinnacle, he only uses the ability equivalent to ordinary ordinary people to touch the realm of gods that people in the lower realm dream of.

This is the so-called technology of the gods, the craft of the gods, the true supreme realm of people's mouths.

Touching the realm of the gods as mortals is an almost impossible thing for mortals, but for the gods, they are born in this realm.

As the god of forging, Hephaestus can realize the craftsmanship of the gods with the body of a mortal, and use the purest and simplest technology to turn decay into magic, and create a divine weapon that mortals cannot make in a lifetime.

Rige took a fancy to this.

He wanted Hephaestus to build a weapon for himself.

“…… Looks like you know a lot about me. Hephaestus paused slightly, but still shook his head, and said, "I still want to say, you go to my children, weapons made by the gods, this is too early for you (the people of the nether)." ”

With that, Hephaestus wanted to turn and leave.

In this regard, Rieger did only one thing.

"Please take a look at this."

Rieger spread his hands in front of Hephaestus.

The next moment, a stone that radiated a scorching heat, as if there was a fire burning inside, appeared in Rig's hand.

"It's ......!"

Hephaestus, who had just glanced at him at random, suddenly changed his face when he saw the fiery red stone block in Riege's hand.

Almost reflexively, she took the stone over, looked at it carefully for a moment, and then looked at Rig in great surprise.

"Where did you get that incredible thing?"

Rieger did not answer this question.

He just continued to smile faintly and said.

"It's called the Hot Stone, and it's the material I'm going to use to forge weapons."

Yes.

The fiery red stone block that Lig took out was the world-class item he obtained from the world of the undead king——— hot stone.

"It's unbelievable that there is such material in the Nether?" Hephaestus couldn't put it down and touched the hot stone in his hand and exclaimed: "Looking at the quality of this material, even in the heavenly realm, I'm afraid it has a certain grade." ”

"If you like it, if you like it." Li Ge nodded and said, "So, my order, would you like to sign for it?" ”

Hearing Rige's words, Hephaestus finally hesitated.

It's been a long time since she's bought such high-end materials.

To be more precise, how long has it been since Hephaestus had been in the Nether Realm since he had touched such high-quality material.

Even if you are in the Celestial Realm, in the Nether, it is impossible to find materials of this quality, and even if Hephaestus wants it, she doesn't know where to find it.

Hephaestus did hesitate a little because of this.

Rig didn't rush, just stared straight at Hephaestus, waiting for her to make a decision.

In "YGGDRASIL", the hot stone is a world-class item that can ask the operator to make what he wants.

This effect, after coming to reality, has become an item that can be transformed into a desired item by imagination.

However, in addition to doing so, those who possess the Hot Stone can also use it as an ingredient for embedding weapons, armor, etc., and even as the core of Gorem.

Using hot stone in this way is more efficient than allowing it to change on its own, and the resulting item will be more powerful than an item that can be formed by simply changing.

But even so, the hot stone is just an ordinary world-class item, and the items made from it are comparable to world-class items at best, and they can't be compared to "twenty".

For this reason, Rieger has not dared to use this precious world-class prop.

Now, he wants to give this world-class item to the god of forging, so that she can use it as a material to forge a weapon that is so powerful that it is not much inferior to "Twenty".

It is believed that the process of the gods is processed, and the forging god himself forges, and this hot stone will be more useful than the two ways mentioned above.

But if Hephaestus really didn't want to do it, then he wouldn't force it.

Anyway, Hephaestus is not the only forging god, but the most famous, powerful, and capable forging god is undoubtedly the one in front of him.

Even if Hephaestus is reluctant to make a move, Rige will spend some time looking for a forged god elsewhere, so that the other party can use the god's craft, using hot stone as a material to help him build the strongest weapon.

He would rather have less than abundant, even if he hid the hot stone in the snow, he was not willing to waste this unique world-class prop.

Fortunately, Hephaestus finally relented.

"I have one condition."

Hephaestus raised her eyes and said to Rige.

"You say."

Rig calmly asked the other party to continue.

"I can use it to help you forge the best weapon you can ever make." Hephaestus said, "But some of the scraps of this piece of material, I want you to leave to me. ”

Obviously, Hephaestus still couldn't give up such good material, and he was moved by it.

For this reason, Hephaestus did not mind making an exception once and taking action himself.

Although, a while ago, she had already made an exception for a bad friend once.........

Thinking of that lost friend, Hephaestus smiled bitterly.

The guy who used to eat and drink in her house and be a parasite of rice worms is now finally on the right track, taking a child as a dependent, and establishing a family.

Although he is still only a weak little family, he still has a suitable weapon for the only child who does not hesitate to kneel down and ask for the only child.

And that happened less than a month ago.

Therefore, Hephaestus did not expect that he would have to take action himself so soon and use the craftsmanship of the gods to forge weapons for the children of the nether world.

"Of course, I'll take the money as well." Hephaestus pinched the hot stone and said to Rige, "Don't think that the craft of forging gods is cheap, right? I'll be unceremonious to let you pay a fortune for it. ”

Rather than being intimidated by these words, Rig smiled and nodded.

"I'll look forward to it."

In this way, Rig gave the hot stone to Hephaestus.
