Wei Gong said casually.

"Because elves are the forest folk known as 'friends of nature'. The color that best represents nature and the forest is green. Moreover, the characteristic of the elven royalty is emerald-like hair..."

The front door of the flower shop faced the street, but the doorbell that rang just now was from the mansion at the back. Normally, customers wouldn't come around this way.

That girl claimed to be "Riveria of the Familia of Demeter"... Wei Gong hadn't seen her since they parted ways that day.

Riveria, the vice-captain of the Loki Familia and an elven princess, said politely, "Excuse me, is Mr. Wei Gong here?"

Riveria said, "However, the Loki Familia currently has a time-sensitive request that we would like to entrust to you, Shirou."

"You guys talk first, I'll go make tea."

Goddess Demeter said, leaving Wei Gong and Riveria the space.

After Riveria finished speaking, she looked at Wei Gong and nodded slightly, "Our Familia's next expedition hopes to begin before next week, mainly considering the rebirth time of the Labyrinth Lonely King..."

Because the Loki Familia's plan for this expedition is to subjugate the Labyrinth Lonely King 【Balor】 on the forty-ninth floor, they hope to avoid consuming expedition supplies and the stamina of first-class adventurers on 【Udaeus】.

Riveria continued to ask.

Wei Gong nodded, "That's right, Ryu's sword was forged by me."

"In that case, I hope to represent the Loki Familia in asking you to forge a weapon for Alicia that reaches the level of a 'First-Class Armament'."

Wei Gong agreed without hesitation.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Shirou."

Riveria said, "The Loki Familia will deliver the reward for forging the weapon on time and in full."

Whether it was a misperception or not, Riveria's tone seemed a little heavy when she said this.

"Cake, no need..."

Riveria politely declined.

Riveria: "..."

Forest cake, and made by the Goddess Demeter, who is most skilled in cooking... Riveria was a little shaken.

And... he called me 'sister'...\n

Wei Gong said casually, "I happen to know a girl with the same name as you, Sister Riveria, she is a member of the Demeter Familia."

Wei Gong also realized that the proportion of elves among the people he knew was really not small. It seemed that he would have to ask Goddess Demeter for some recipes that elves like in the future.

Riveria also inquired with Wei Gong about the other "Riveria" and quickly locked onto the target due to the highly specific character profile.

After all, Ais's characteristics were too obvious. Wei Gong simply didn't recognize her because he had never seen 【Sword Princess】 before.

After Riveria left Goddess Demeter's mansion carrying the cake, her face slowly darkened.

Riveria moved her wrist a little: "Let's endure it a little. After the expedition, I'll properly educate Ais."

Before leaving, Riveria also bought a bunch of jasmine flowers from the flower shop of the Demeter Familia to take care of the flower shop's business and to express her apology for disturbing the goddess.

First of all, it is to create Alicia's weapon.

Before designing and forging Alicia's weapon, Wei Gong first forged another sword, completing an order that he had accepted a long time ago.

Therefore, the agreement with Lefiya became a long-term commission.

And now, although limited to swords, Wei Gong does have the ability to forge first-class armaments, so completing Lefiya's commission is naturally not a problem.

Using weapons that are too good too early is not conducive to the growth of adventurers. The second-class armament is suitable for Lefiya at the current stage.

Alicia has a second-class armament staff plus a second-class armament elven sharp sword. The two weapons have been used until Lv.5 before they gloriously retired.

Similar to Ryu's previous weapon 【Elf Flash】, they are both weapons made of spiritual trees from the Elf Forest, but the level of materials is different. Ryu's 【Elf Flash】 is a first-class armament.

Making staffs is not Wei Gong's forte, he is still better at forging swords. Considering Lefiya's situation, Wei Gong quickly finalized the design plan.

Lefiya is not a magic swordsman, but a pure firepower-oriented turret mage. Her need for melee weapons is not to kill enemies, but to defend herself.

No swordsmanship is required. When a monster rushes in front of her, a simple thrust or slash is enough.

She doesn't need to deliberately practice swordsmanship, she just needs to cultivate some courage when facing monsters, so that the weapon can play at least a minimal role.

Simple and unpretentious, literally "Magic Release", by consuming magic power, creating a magic impact and wind pressure that blows away nearby enemies.

She doesn't lack magic power, she is just afraid of monsters getting close.

It can be said that Wei Gong has put a lot of thought into creating such a sub-weapon for Lefiya.

Considering the effect of the sword, Wei Gong simply named the sword "Wind's Protection".

However, forging Lefiya's weapon is just an "appetizer". The real key is Alicia's scheduled "First-Class Armament".

Wei Gong is a natural master only in the field of "swords", and Alicia happens to be a magic swordsman like Ryu. The weapon she needs is also a sword.

"Alicia's fighting style is based on 'Parallel Chant', combined with high-speed rapier attacks and frequent magic control and attack speed attacks... Her magic 【Ice Storm】 is a rare ultra-short chant magic."

"Now Sister Alicia is still using both a rapier and a magic wand at the same time. This combination is actually a bit inappropriate. She needs a sword with the properties of a 'magic wand' as her main weapon."

"【Ice Storm】, Alicia has a high degree of development of this magic. Can it exert a stronger effect..."

He looked at the prepared sword-making materials, some of which were special items, such as Black Goliath bones and Black Goliath hide.

Looking at the giant's bones, Wei Gong had an idea.

"Shaping."

He whispered another crucial feature of ice element.

Skadi, the God of Winter in Norse mythology, is not in Orario in this world, but the goddess of the Northern Kingdom.

Goddess Hephaestus described Skadi, who is also a goddess, like this.

"Naturally air-headed?"

Wei Gong didn't know how to evaluate it.

"Skadi is a peerless beauty, even not inferior to those beauty gods."

Wei Gong: "That doesn't matter..."

"Well... In short, with Skadi's personality, she won't be angry because you named the weapon after her."

It's common to see elves wearing green clothes. When Ryuu conceals her identity, she also dyes her hair green. Their favorite desserts are also specially coated with green jam.

Goddess Demeter said.

"Just a moment, the doorbell is ringing. Who could it be at this hour?"

"Oh, what a rare guest. Miss Riveria, how do you do?"

Wei Gong, who was eating cake in the kitchen, subconsciously thought of the blonde girl when he heard the voice of Goddess Demeter.

"Sorry for the intrusion, Goddess Demeter."

"Shirou, someone's here for you~"

Wei Gong met Riveria in the garden of Goddess Demeter.

"I apologize for disturbing you during your rest."

"Is it a forging request?"

Shirou asked.

Come to think of it, the only requests he could receive from the Loki Familia would be for forging weapons and equipment.

"Thank you, Goddess Demeter."

Currently, the Labyrinth King [Udaeus] on the 37th floor of the dungeon has been defeated by the Ganesha Familia's expedition team. The Loki Familia hopes to complete the expedition before it revives.

"Shirou, I'd like to ask first, can you forge 'First-Class Armaments' right now?"

Riveria inquired.

Wei Gong answered directly: "I can."

"… …Was [Gale]'s new weapon forged by you?"

Before coming here, Riveria first went to the Hephaestus Familia's residence and the [Hostess of Fertility] tavern. It was the evaluation of the Goddess of the Forge and the weapon in Ryuu's hand that made her make up her mind.

"No problem, I'm honored that the Loki Familia trusts me."

He also had a life-and-death friendship with [Purity Garden]'s Alicia. Back then, Alicia's desperate fight was indispensable to defeat the Black Goliath.

"Okay."

Wei Gong nodded: "By the way, Sister Riveria, I just made a cake. Would you like to try some?"

Wei Gong: "It's a 'Forest Cake' made together by Goddess Demeter and me."

Aside from the members of the Demeter Familia, it's not easy to taste the works of the Goddess of Abundance.

"Speaking of which, what a coincidence."

Riveria: "… …What?"

114

Chapter 114: The Bones of the Black Goliath.

Riveria tasted the "Forest Cake" made by Wei Gong, and she praised the taste of this dessert. So Wei Gong gave half of the finished cake to Riveria and asked her to pass it on to Alicia and Lefiya.

Twelve or thirteen years old, blonde hair, a beautiful girl who uses a sword… …

Riveria knew who it was even with her toes—[Sword Princess] Aiz Wallenstein!

On the contrary, because [Sword Princess]'s reputation was too great, Wei Gong subconsciously thought that the other party should be Ryuu's age, or even a more senior adventurer, thus creating a misunderstanding.

"After this expedition, I have to bring Aiz to apologize… …Really, this child, if only she was half as sensible as Shirou."

The reason is very simple—if she were to "educate" her before the expedition, it would be difficult for her to guarantee that little Aiz would still be able to stand and participate in this expedition.

As for Wei Gong, he rested peacefully for two days before returning to the life of an adventurer and blacksmith.

Back then, after the first dungeon adventure ended, he and Lefiya agreed to forge a piece of equipment for her.

Because Wei Gong had not yet reached level ascension at that time and did not have the development abilities [Forging] or [Mystery], he could not create high-level armaments at that time.

Moreover, Lefiya did not need First-Class Armaments. [Thousand Elves] is currently only Lv.2, and First-Class Armaments are a bit too early for her.

A high-quality Second-Class Armament is enough for her to use until at least Lv.4, at which time it will be time to replace the First-Class Armament.

"The magic staff Lefiya is currently using is called [Forest Tear], a gift from Riveria, a Second-Class Armament with a high degree of fusion with elven magic."

"Lefiya can use this staff for a long time, and it's difficult for me to make a better staff than this… …So, it's better to forge a close-combat weapon for her to defend herself."

Although they are both elves, Alicia's rapier and Ryuu's katana are not suitable for Lefiya. Their weapons have certain requirements for the user's dexterity and swordsmanship, and Lefiya obviously cannot control such weapons.

Therefore, the sword type Wei Gong chose was a straight-edged single-handed sword, the most basic and simple sword type, suitable for novices like Lefiya.

Also, during the forging process, due to the blessing of [Mystery], Wei Gong eventually endowed this sword with a simple "magic", or rather, a special application method of magic power.

The magic power consumption is not small, and it has no lethality, but it is practical, especially for Lefiya, a "magic idiot" whose magic power quality and quantity are frighteningly high.

Because it is not the main weapon, and there is no extravagant use of precious materials such as spiritual trees, only some mithril and a drop from a mid-level dungeon bird monster were simply used.

In theory, a blacksmith at level Lv.2 with [Forging] can forge First-Class Armaments, but in fact, there are not many blacksmiths who can independently forge First-Class Armaments. There are only a few in the entire labyrinth city, including [One-Eyed Great Craftsman], who are undoubtedly master-level figures.

Ryuu chants a magic once, and Alicia can complete at least five chants. [Ice Storm], a magic with slightly insufficient power but extremely useful, is the core of [Purity Garden]'s combat power.

"Or, make a weapon with a [Transformation] structure… …No, it's not appropriate. Alicia's main lethality still relies on close combat, and her magic is more for control and assistance… …It's more appropriate to use a sword as a weapon."

Wei Gong quickly immersed himself in thought, and he whispered to himself: "Ice… …The core characteristics of ice are cold, and—"

This was the drop from the Black Goliath that Ryuu and Alicia killed back then. Its magic stone was destroyed by Lefiya's magic, but it left two drops, which the adventurers did not forget to recover.

[Ice Goddess Skadi], Wei Gong subconsciously came up with such a name in his heart.

115

Chapter 115: There is a Spy in the Loki Familia.

"Skadi, when you first come into contact with her, you will feel that she is a cold iceberg beauty, but in fact, she is quite muddled… …Essentially, she is naturally dull."

Goddess Hephaestus suddenly brought up an unrelated topic again.

Goddess Skadi is located in the far northern country. If nothing unexpected happens, Wei Gong will probably never meet her in this life.
