The Epic Story of the Heroic Spirit of Emiya Giant Warrior

Amid's voice remained calm, but her right hand, placed under the table, was trembling slightly.

Amid looked around: "I can bid higher. The Dian Cecht Familia is determined to get this [Magic Sword]. If you want to compete, I'll go up to a billion!"

Of all the familias present, only the Dian Cecht Familia did not have a Level 1 adventurer.

And yet, they possessed enviable wealth.

The [Magic Sword Spiral Sword] was icing on the cake for other familias, but for the Dian Cecht Familia, it was a lifeline. Therefore, they would acquire it even at a premium.

"I'll go all-in with you," "We'll die together if we have to." With the [Magic Sword Spiral Sword], the Dian Cecht Familia would at least have such a trump card.

Hedin, on the other hand, didn't care. As long as the final winner wasn't the Ishtar Familia, he could accept it.

"Excuse me, does the Hephaestus Familia have any more [Magic Swords] like that?"

"Yes, we do."

Tsubaki smiled, and Amid's eyes lit up. However, the next moment, Tsubaki said:

Chapter 78: Aisha's Secret Letter.

Finn looked at Riveria, who was dragging her tired body back to the base.

"Our luck is pretty good. The materials Hephaestus Familia used to forge this [Magic Sword Spiral Sword] happened to be monster magic stones and drops from below the 50th floor."

The Hera Familia and the Zeus Familia were the kings of Orario before the Freya Familia and the Loki Familia. The strength of these two great familias far surpassed all the factions in Orario today. In their heyday, they even had Lv.8 and Lv.9 adventurers.

Later, the Hera Familia and the Zeus Familia disappeared, and the Freya Familia and the Loki Familia rose to the top of Orario after a period of chaos.

"That's right. The Hephaestus Familia bought almost all the related materials that the Hera Familia and the Zeus Familia sold to the Guild and forged them into magic swords. However, now those materials have also been exhausted."

The Freya Familia's adventurers had stronger overall combat power, but the members of the Freya Familia had no concept of mutual cooperation. They fought each other all day long to compete for the favor of the goddess Freya, so their progress in exploring the dungeon was behind the Loki Familia.

Riveria nodded: "That's why I was able to reach an agreement with them."

"The Dian Cecht Familia will lend us the [Magic Sword Spiral Sword] for use, as insurance, of course. It's best if we don't have to use it, but if we do, we will provide the materials and hire the Hephaestus Familia to forge a new one to return to the Dian Cecht Familia. The main material of the [Magic Sword Spiral Sword] is the magic stone of the 'Strong Dragon' from the 51st floor."

Finn nodded: "We would have done the same thing."

I just don't know if that Emiya, who leveled up to Lv.2 not long ago, now has the ability to forge first-class armaments.

If his ability is insufficient, then we can only hand it over to the [One-Eyed Blacksmith] Tsubaki to forge.

Riveria asked.

Finn: "To be honest, if it weren't for these two things, I really wouldn't have much confidence."

Finn said: "Let's start preparing for the expedition. Once Aricia's weapon is completed, we'll set off."

"Emiya-kun, please wait!"

Outside Babel, Aisha stopped Emiya, who was about to return to the workshop.

Emiya asked.

【Lije】 itself is very eye-catching, and coupled with her calling out Emiya's name, the surrounding gazes instantly converged.

"What? Three months, that's cheating, how is that possible..."

"Be careful! He is a member of the Hephaestus Familia!"

"Envy, I wish I could join the Hephaestus Familia."

"If you can level up to Lv.2 in three months, the Loki Familia will beg you to join!"

"Speaking of which, the title [Sword King] is obviously meant to suppress [Sword Princess], right? Could it be that he will also rapidly level up to Lv.5 like [Sword Princess]?"

On the other side, a little further away, several elf girls were whispering to each other.

Elf Girl A: "Speaking of which, what is the relationship between [Lije] and [Sword King]? I heard that Emiya Shirou is a 'Elf Killer'. Does his hypnosis skill also work on Amazons?"

Elf Girl A: "My neighbor heard from her cousin's friend in the Loki Familia that Emiya possesses a mental control skill targeting elves, which will make elf girls unconditionally fall in love with him..."

Amazon Girl E: "What should I do? When I see his profile and eyes, my heart beats so fast. Have I already fallen for Emiya-sama's skill..."

"Good afternoon, Emiya-kun. I'm here to thank you for your help to me and Haruhime back then."

Emiya subconsciously wanted to refuse. He didn't want any high-end VIP card from Pleasure Quarter at all...

"You can secretly come to Pleasure Quarter to find me~"

Emiya was silent for a few seconds, then put away the Pleasure Quarter VIP card—along with the note Aisha stuffed into his hand.

"Please... Haruhime, please save her."

"Thank you for your hard work, Asfi."

"Don't say that, Goddess-sama."

Her name was Asfi Al Andromeda, and her identity was the captain of the Hermes Familia. Her registered level in the Guild was Lv.2, and her title was 【Omnipotent】.

The Hermes Familia was a very special faction. It was an exploration-type familia, but the object of exploration was not the dungeon, but the world outside the labyrinth city.

Under the leadership of the god, Hermes Familia was active in various countries around the world centered on Orario, as far as the island country in the Far East, Sword-Making City, the Magic Kingdom, and even the secret realms [Great Tree Sea] and [Dragon Valley], which have all left the footprints of Hermes Familia.

Asfi received a request from her former comrade 【Gale】 to deliver a letter to the goddess Astrea in Sword-Making City.

Asfi gave 【Gale's】 letter to the goddess Astrea, and then took on the task of escorting the goddess Astrea to Orario.

Asfi modified the goddess Astrea's carriage to further improve the efficiency of the journey, allowing them to complete the journey that originally took two days in just one day, and returned to the labyrinth city.

Two years ago, the Astrea Familia was wiped out in the Dark Faction, with only 【Gale】 Ryu Lion remaining. After being persuaded by Ryu, the goddess Astrea left Orario, and Ryu launched a revenge against the remnants of the Dark Faction in Orario.

During the dark ages of fighting against the Dark Faction, the Astrea Familia once shouldered the order of Orario together with the then Ganesha Familia.

"Whether 【Gale】 can be entrusted to that boy should be confirmed by you personally... I, Ganesha, think so."

That's what Ganesha wrote in the letter.

After much deliberation, Astrea set off for the labyrinth city, but happened to meet Asfi on the road carrying Ryu's letter.

Ryu, who had not updated her "God's Grace" for two years, hoped to update her ability values and level up.

Astrea was extremely gratified by this. The child she was most worried about was finally able to step out of the heavy past and welcome the future.

Riveria glanced at Amid with the corner of her eye: "I hope we can talk them around..."

If the Dian Cecht Familia ends up buying the [Magic Sword], Finn's plan might actually have a chance of succeeding.

When the [Battlefield Saintess] said this, she had the air of an empress surveying her domain.

As the strongest medical faction in the city, their Familia was particularly targeted by the Dark Faction during the chaotic period. Due to frequent attacks, almost all adventurers of Lv.4 and above were killed or injured, and they have not yet recovered.

Aisha gritted her teeth for a long time, and finally could only let out a long sigh: "You medicine sellers are really rich..."

400 million valis, buying it like it's nothing. How many nights would her sisters have to work to earn 400 million?

The [Magic Sword Helix Sword] was ultimately acquired by the Dian Cecht Familia for 400 million valis.

Amid continued to ask, with a hint of "I'll buy as much as you have" in her tone.

"However, we won't sell the rest."

"How is it, Riveria?"

"I have fulfilled my mission."

Riveria picked up a black sword case: "I borrowed it."

Looking at the sword case, Riveria sighed softly.

Finn: "So, the materials used by the Hephaestus Familia now are those left over from the Hera Familia and the Zeus Familia, those two factions?"

These two major familias accepted the subjugation quests for Behemoth, the King of the Land, Leviathan, the King of the Sea, and the Black Dragon, the King of the Sky. The Zeus Familia killed Behemoth, and the Hera Familia dealt with Leviathan, but their allied forces were tragically annihilated in the battle to subjugate the Black Dragon.

According to the Guild's records, the Hera Familia and the Zeus Familia reached the seventy-first floor of the Dungeon at most, while the farthest exploration record in the current Labyrinth City is only the Loki Familia's forty-ninth floor.

Riveria said:

"And we, the Loki Familia, are one of the few factions currently capable of breaking through the fiftieth floor."

"The Hephaestus Familia's trump cards are 'equipment' and 'magic swords', the Dian Cecht Familia's trump cards are 'medicine' and 'healing', and our Loki Familia's trump cards are 'progress' and 'materials'."

Finn said:

"There are other forging familias and medical familias in the city, but only we, at least for now, can provide the deepest level of materials."

"And as a reward for lending the magic sword and accepting magic sword orders, the Dian Cecht Familia and the Hephaestus Familia have the right to purchase our materials from this expedition with priority. In addition, the expedition's medicines must be purchased from the Dian Cecht Familia, and Alicia's first-level equipment must be forged by the Hephaestus Familia."

The Dian Cecht Familia's medicines are of the best quality, and have always been the Loki Familia's first choice, and as for Alicia's first-level equipment, Alicia herself probably already chose the blacksmith.

"Alicia's level up, plus this magic sword, are you now confident in perfectly defeating Balor?"

Saying that, he paused for a moment.

"But right now... saying 100% is a bit arrogant, let's say 99%."

"Our goal: to slay Balor and break into the depths below the fiftieth floor!"

"Are you... Aisha-senpai?"

"[Lijie]... Aisha-senpai, is there something you need me for?"

"Wei Gong? Wait, is he the Wei Gong Shirou who single-handedly destroyed the Soma Familia?!"

"Are you talking about that super genius who broke [Sword Princess]'s fastest level-up record, reaching Lv.2 in just three months..."

"Hiss, the Hephaestus Familia, huh... that's not surprising, that's not surprising at all. Those big familias can always find unparalleled geniuses."

Wei Gong was speechless upon hearing the surrounding adventurers' discussions—do adventurers from small familias have to be suspected of cheating if they level up quickly? How realistic.

"[Sword King] is from the Hephaestus Familia, so it could also mean [King of Swordsmiths], right? My second uncle's cousin's friend bought a sword made by him, and I heard the quality is terrifyingly good, cutting iron like mud and severing hair with a blow!"

Elf Girl B: "Elf Slayer? Hypnosis skill? What is that, tell me more!"

Elf Girl C: "What, there's such a terrifying ability!"

Elf Girl D: "It, it doesn't matter, we have Princess Riveria, for such an innately evil human brat, Her Highness will personally..."

Other Elves: "...Amazon, stop eavesdropping on us!"

...

Whether it was luck or misfortune, Wei Gong didn't hear the elf girls' whispers.

Aisha also ignored the surrounding noise and firmly grasped Wei Gong's hand: "Please accept this highest-level VIP card."

As Aisha spoke, she raised her head to meet Wei Gong's eyes, her voice charming, but her gaze was only firm and resolute.

Aisha lowered her head slightly, and a voice as soft as a mosquito's hum entered Wei Gong's ears.

Chapter 79: Goddess Astrea.

A woman with long brown hair stepped out of the carriage, speaking gently.

A female adventurer with short light blue hair, looking heroic and stylish, placed her right hand on her left chest and gave the other party an elegant bow: "It is my great honor to be able to help you."

The Familia's god is the traveler god Hermes, He is a god who can't stay still, always traveling around, never staying in one place for more than half a month.

Due to the special nature of the Familia, the Hermes Familia controls a large amount of information and secrets in Orario and its surroundings. At the same time, due to the needs of the Guild and the various familias in the Labyrinth City, they often accept commissions that require leaving Orario, such as delivering letters.

And fortunately, Asfi had not yet arrived at the City of Swords, but happened to encounter the Goddess Astrea, who was heading to the Labyrinth City Orario, on the way.

Before Wei Gong, there were no more than five adventurers in the entire Orario with the development ability [Mystic]. Asfi is one of them, and her [Mystic] effect is reflected in the development and manufacture of magic tools.

"Well, it's been a long time."

Goddess Astrea looked at the magnificent walls of Orario from afar, sighing softly.

Goddess Astrea went to the City of Swords, and for two years she lived in the City of Swords, preparing to forge a new weapon for Ryu, who was fighting alone, while silently waiting for Ryu's letter.

Until half a month ago, Astrea still hadn't received any contact from Ryu, but received a letter from her former comrade, the God Ganesha.

God Ganesha's messenger was a Lv.5 first-class adventurer, she told Goddess Astrea about [Gale]'s recent situation and recent changes, and at the same time, Ganesha suggested that Astrea come back to Orario to take a look.

In the letter, Ryu described everything that had happened in the past two years, informing Goddess Astrea that her justice and future had new hope, and hoped to meet Goddess Astrea.

Thanks to that child named Wei Gong Shirou.

And the only thing that made Goddess Astrea feel puzzled was, why was Ryu's handwriting on the letter crooked, and many strokes were very weak, as if her hand was shaking all the time when she was writing.
