The Epic Story of the Heroic Spirit of Emiya Giant Warrior

Even if the team is divided into two, facing the enemies separately, they should be able to handle it.

"The [White-Haired Ghoul] revealed some information before dying."

Riveria recalled the situation, lost in thought.

"These [Monsters] seem to be worshipping a certain existence."

Riveria slowly said, "Olvass used 'her' to refer to that existence, and their goal is actually to have that existence return to the surface."

Chapter 290: The Tavern Battle, Goddess Ishtar Blocking the Door.

"That, [Holy Sword User]…"

The room door was carefully pushed open, and a human girl, the healer Liliruca Arde, entered. She seemed a little nervous, saying softly, "Someone has come to see you… They are currently blocking the entrance to [Twilight Manor], insisting on seeing you."

"Oh, Ryuu and Goddess Hephaestus."

But Liliruca shook her head: "Not Goddess Hephaestus…"

This sentence silenced the conference room instantly.

Goddess Ishtar, mistress of Pleasure Quarter, Queen of the Night. She came to the Loki Familia headquarters with Ryuu? Is she here to block the man?

Riveria's face immediately darkened. She stood up, took Wei Gong's hand, and walked out without any politeness, heading straight to the entrance of [Twilight Manor].

Seeing Wei Gong come out, several Amazons immediately gazed at him with loving eyes, while Ryuu and Ishtar's expressions were very unsightly.

"Shirou."

Ryuu spoke first, her tone serious: "Just now, 'Man Killer' Filvis attacked the [Hostess of Fertility] tavern."

The elven girl personally witnessed Filvis and the Lv.6 [Little Giant] Mia Grand engage in a contest of strength. The two high-level warriors fought in the tavern, causing the entire street to tremble.

With Mia's level and strength, Filvis was not at an absolute disadvantage against her.

"I personally saw Allen pierce her throat with a shot. I thought she would be seriously injured, but as a result, what flowed out of Filvis was not red blood, but some kind of strange, viscous liquid…"

The two looked at each other, almost simultaneously thinking of one possibility—[Monster]!

Through Ryuu's description, Wei Gong and the others learned about what happened at the [Hostess of Fertility] tavern while they were attacking the artificial labyrinth.

Ryuu and Anya immediately stood up to try to stop her, but when Filvis saw Ryuu, her anger erupted even more, and she began to fight with Ryuu.

However, this time, something had obviously changed in Filvis. Her strength had significantly increased, far exceeding before, and Ryuu was immediately caught in a bitter battle.

Anya was injured by the shockwave of the [Man Killer]'s attack because she couldn't dodge in time.

Although Mia was powerful, she didn't have a weapon and could only rely on her bare hands, so she didn't gain much of an advantage in strength, and instead fell into a stalemate with Filvis.

Filvis realized that the situation was not good. Her original goal was only to capture Haruhime, and if possible, kill Ryuu, but obviously now she had no chance to achieve her goal.

Filvis suffered heavy damage, but what was even more bizarre was that what flowed from her wounds was not bright red blood, but some kind of strange, dark purple viscous liquid.

Then, the battlefield evolved into a joint pursuit by the [Little Giant] Mia and the [Goddess's Chariot] Allen. Filvis was beaten black and blue by the two, but with her abnormally high endurance, she finally managed to escape into the underground waterway.

In fact, Goddess Ishtar hadn't seen Filvis for some time—the goddess was happy to have some peace and quiet without seeing that stupid and ugly fellow.

"Obviously, she has colluded with that group of people. Not only did she escape into the underground waterway, but she also chose to launch an attack at the time when we were attacking the artificial labyrinth."

Filvis had known about Haruhime's existence for a long time, but she did not inform anyone of this information, but wanted to take the power of the [Uchide's Hammer] for herself.

However, what she didn't expect at all was that Haruhime would actually participate in the Loki Familia's action this time.

Even the [Goddess's Chariot] Allen had been secretly watching that side.

To be honest, Ishtar didn't think much of Filvis's Lv.5 bottom-tier combat power now.

Goddess Ishtar locked her gaze on Wei Gong, her voice bewitching: "Shirou, as long as you help me kill that traitor, in the Lower World, I can let you do whatever you want."

Seeing such a reaction, Goddess Ishtar narrowed her eyes and raised her voice: "I am the goddess of beauty, love, and fertility. Whoever helps me kill that traitor, I will bestow upon her 'blessings'!"

Chapter 291: Rebuilding the Tavern, Special Forging Request.

The dwarves waved their hammers and saws, the sounds of hammering and cutting rising and falling, forming a rhythm full of vitality along with their rough shouts.

At this time, part of the tavern's exterior wall had been rebuilt. The walls and roof were built with exquisite stone and wood, making the entire building look more solid and beautiful than before. The window frames were also being installed, and the ingenious riveting structure revealed the unique craftsmanship of the Goibniu Familia.

This was Wei Gong's first time dealing with the people of the Goibniu Familia. Originally, he thought that he, a blacksmith of the Hephaestus Familia, might not be very popular with them.

After all, rivals are enemies. Because of him, many of the Loki Familia's first-class adventurer's weapon orders had turned to him, and these were originally the business of the Goibniu Familia.

Like for the Hephaestus Familia, those first-class armaments were the Familia's signboard, but the real money-making business was the ordinary weapons that the vast number of adventurers constantly bought.

Moreover, the first-class adventurers of the Loki Familia, especially the several Lv.5 adventurers, were among the least popular customers for the Goibniu Familia.

On the other hand, the Loki Familia's financial situation was never very generous. Although the remuneration always arrived in the end, it was often delayed, which was quite a headache.

"Um, thank you, Syr."

"And everyone else too, thank you for your hard work."

"Thank you so much, Miss Syr."

"There's no such thing as hard work. For us, this is nothing."

"Oh! ! !"

After a short rest, the dwarves threw themselves into their work with even greater enthusiasm.

Wei Gong looked at the busy figures of the dwarves and said to Mia.

"Um, Shirou, I have an idea."

Syr returned to Wei Gong's side and said softly, "Why don't you just become an investor in the tavern? Taking advantage of this opportunity, we can buy the two shops around here and expand the store."

Syr suggested taking advantage of this opportunity to buy these shops and expand the scale of [Hostess of Fertility].

Wei Gong didn't hesitate much, nodded, and agreed. He never cared much about money, after all, there was nothing special that needed money.

Moreover, to be honest, with the popularity of [Hostess of Fertility], this investment might even make a profit.

Looking at the scene of the boy and girl chatting quietly, Mia couldn't help but shake her head.

The girl specially pulled Wei Gong to be an investor, just because he had been working with the Loki Familia recently, making the girl a little jealous and lonely.

Wei Gong: "Please tell me."

Mia sighed: "It's like this, there is a junior… I would like to ask you to forge a suitable weapon for him. Otherwise, I'm really worried about whether he can safely return next time he goes adventuring."

However, looking at it now, this strategy of dividing forces seems a bit rash. Fortunately, the enemy chose to attack both teams simultaneously, rather than concentrating all their strength on one side, otherwise the consequences could have been quite serious.

That was what happened after Wei Gong chased the masked man Ein and temporarily left the grotto. Olivas, before being frozen by Riveria's magic, seemed to start shouting frantically out of desperation, revealing some clues.

"Moreover, Olivas also mentioned a name—'Urban Destroyer Ennio'."

The post-battle summary meeting was halfway through when someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Wei Gong asked with a slightly puzzled expression, "Who is it?"

Linyi hesitated for a moment, glanced at Riveria cautiously, and then stammered, "Many people, including [Gale], and a goddess..."

Wei Gong said, "I'll go now."

Wei Gong: "Is that the goddess Demeter?"

Linyi glanced at Riveria again, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes, and then said in a low voice, "It's... it's the goddess Ishtar."

In any case, this matter will undoubtedly become one of the biggest news stories in Orario today.

When they pushed open the door, what greeted them was several figures waiting in the night.

Ryu stood in front, her expression solemn, and beside her stood the goddess Ishtar—that voluptuous goddess, her face displeased, surrounded by several Lv.4 guards in Amazonian combat gear.

Wei Gong's expression turned serious, and he immediately asked, "Is anyone injured at the tavern? What happened?"

Ryu shook her head gently: "Thanks to Mama Mia and [Goddess's Chariot] Allen, no one was injured. But Fureni... she leveled up, and not just a normal Lv.6, her endurance... has become monstrously terrifying."

In the end, [Goddess's Chariot] Allen suddenly rushed out from who knows where, and Fureni was pierced through the neck by the fastest cat person in the city, but she was still able to run around and escape!

Ryu said seriously, "It's definitely something... that doesn't belong to humans."

Such a description immediately made Wei Gong and Riveria's expressions turn serious.

The goddess Ishtar spoke, her expression gloomy and angry: "That bastard Fureni actually betrayed me!"

[Man Killer] Fureni suddenly broke into the tavern, roaring "Hand over Haruhime," and launching an attack without any regard.

Originally, Ryu's strength was completely sufficient to crush Fureni, after all, she was the strongest Lv.5 adventurer, while Fureni's strength among Lv.5s was only at the bottom.

In the cramped tavern space, Ryu could only rely on her own agility and various magics to deal with Fureni.

At this critical moment, [Little Giant] Mia, who had returned from buying groceries, arrived in time. Seeing her beloved tavern smashed to pieces, she rushed into the battlefield without saying a word and engaged in a hand-to-hand combat with Fureni.

After assessing the situation, she decided to retreat immediately. However, just as she was trying to retreat, a sharp spear shadow cut through the chaotic battlefield.

[Goddess's Chariot] Allen, he suddenly rushed out from somewhere, his spear pointed directly at Fureni, and pierced her throat fiercely with lightning speed.

Even with such serious injuries, Fureni stubbornly held on with her abnormal endurance.

Seeing Fureni escape, Ryu and Anya rushed to the goddess Ishtar's temple as soon as possible to question the goddess.

However, the goddess Ishtar was also stunned by Fureni's betrayal, completely not expecting her to do such a thing.

After listening to Ryu's description, Finn immediately concluded: "It seems that Fureni possesses the adaptability of a [Weirdo], she has already become a Weirdo."

Thinking of the surprised expression she had when she saw [Uchide's Hammer] during the previous battle with the red-haired beast tamer Revis, Finn quickly realized one thing—Revis didn't know Haruhime's information at all, [Man Killer] and those people weren't completely of one mind.

Moreover, Fureni didn't know that the [Hostess of Fertility] tavern not only had the Lv.5 [Gale], but also the even more powerful [Little Giant].

At this moment, the goddess Ishtar's face was particularly gloomy, and her silver teeth were clenched.

But, that stupid and ugly fellow actually dared to betray her, which made the goddess Ishtar feel particularly humiliated and angry.

However, the goddess's "sincere" conditions only earned her the disdain of Riveria and the others.

Beauty, love, fertility—realizing the goddess Ishtar's divine duties, the women's gazes all focused on her.

At the same time, Fureni, who had escaped to [Artificial Labyrinth], felt a chill all over her body for some reason.

The Gbernir Familia's construction team was busy rebuilding the [Hostess of Fertility] tavern, the scene was bustling with activity.

Several workers shouted commands, erecting a thick beam, and others quickly stepped forward to fix it in place.

Wei Gong stood aside, watching the dwarves carry out their work in an orderly manner. The tavern, which had been destroyed and in a mess, was now gradually being restored to its original appearance in the hands of the dwarves, and even becoming more exquisite.

The Gbernir Familia is a production-type Familia specializing in building repair and reconstruction, weapon and armor maintenance and production. Unlike the Hephaestus Familia, which mass-produces ordinary equipment, they prefer to accept customizations and create unique weapons and equipment according to customer needs.

However, what surprised him was that the Gbernir Familia's craftsmen were very friendly to his arrival, and even grateful that he had taken over the Loki Familia's "problem child" orders.

The Gbernir Familia is the same, the faction's real main source of revenue is not the customized high-end weapons, but their business in the construction industry, especially providing building repair and renovation services for various Familia.

On the one hand, their fighting styles are fierce, resulting in extremely high wear and tear on weapons and equipment, making repair and maintenance quite troublesome.

"Shiro, come and have some tea."

The lovely tavern signboard girl brought over iced honey lemon tea.

Wei Gong took it and slowly sipped it.

Sheel shouted to the Gbernir Familia's dwarves, sending them drinks.

"I'm already starting to miss the [Hostess of Fertility]'s cuisine, everyone work harder and finish it as soon as possible."

"It shouldn't take a few days, the tavern's reconstruction will be completed."

Mia nodded, looking at the [Hostess of Fertility] tavern being rebuilt, the face that was usually serious and strict, at this moment could not help but reveal a bit of relaxation.

Wei Gong was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Expanding the store? That's not a bad idea."

In the battle with Fureni, not only was the tavern severely damaged, but several surrounding shops were also affected, with the buildings destroyed in a mess. Because of this reason, the acquisition price of the surrounding shops has also declined.

If he could use this money to help Sheel and boss Mia, that would be great. Mia and the others' care and help for him has long been far beyond the value that money can measure.

In fact, if she just wanted to expand the tavern, with Sheel's "small" treasury, she could completely buy the entire street.

Just then, thinking of another thing, Mia's expression was a little hesitant.

She looked at Wei Gong: "Actually, there is one more thing that might need your help."

Wei Gong agreed without hesitation: "No problem."
