Pitter-patter! Pitter-patter!
Golden lightning surged from Liu's fair, jade-like hands, crackling and popping as she molded the lightning into various shapes, like clay.
This is Roy's magic—the Lord of Thunder—which she can now use under the contract.
Liu played with the golden lightning in her hand, her pretty little face full of surprise. The most distinctive feature of this magic was that it required no chanting and constantly changed form.
Longswords, axes, shields, and the ability to create clones are truly ingenious and versatile.
Although she felt no jealousy, the existence of such magic was truly astonishing.
There are also Fateful Dream and Dimensional Obstruction.
Ryu's feelings were complicated. If she hadn't been exposed to Lady Riveria, how could she have learned these two highly defensive and versatile spells?
Huge risks come with huge potential rewards!
"Are we going to the secret realm again tomorrow?" Liu asked Roy, knowing that during the time he was "missing," he had been going to those strange secret realms to hunt monsters.
"Take a day off." Roy shook his head. Guys above LV.3 are not easy to deal with. If you walk by the river long enough, you're bound to get wet. If you don't make enough preparations, you might even be killed and get the Synchro Contract. Actually, he was no longer too worried about the threat from the Ikeros Familia.
The Ikeros Familia has only one Level 5 adventurer, whose leader is Dix Perdix.
They have two level 5 adventurers!
Even though Ryu's overall stats decrease by 30% during the contract's activation, making her the lowest-ranked among her peers, she remains a noble LV.5 and won't drop to LV.4. This allows her to deliver a devastating blow to adventurers below her level, at most turning a one-hit kill into a three-hit kill.
Roy asked, "Is there something you need?"
Ryu nodded, "I'll get you a set of equipment when I go to the Gubney Familia to order custom gear."
Upon hearing this, Roy understood.
The Gubnew Familia, a family that forges weapons, is far less well-known and smaller than the Hephaestus Familia, but their equipment performance is comparable.
The main difference between the two clans is that the Hephaestus clan forges a large number of finished products, which are then stored in weapon shops throughout Orario for sale.
The Gubney Familia only begins forging after receiving a commission from an adventurer.
That is, custom-made.
With the same service, the price will be lower than that of the Hephaestus Scrolls.
Therefore, the Gubernian Familia is more highly regarded among high-level adventurers.
For example, the high-ranking elites of the Loki Familia almost all use equipment made by the Gubernian Familia, while only the middle and lower-ranking members use products from the Hephaestus Familia.
The next day.
Roy, Ryu, Daphne, and Cassandra arrived at the Gubney Familia's encampment, where a wave of heat hit them and the crisp, rapid clanging of metal striking metal filled the air.
Blacksmith workshops are scattered throughout this area.
The blacksmiths in the area are mostly dwarves, whose strength attributes far exceed those of adventurers of other races.
Liu was used to it.
Daphne and Cassandra's faces lit up with barely suppressed excitement. They were also part of the custom-made weapons, with all expenses covered by the clan's treasury.
The Astrea Familia is very similar to the Loki Familia, both being family-style families.
After Daphne and Cassandra exchanged the magic stone fragments they obtained in the dungeon for Fali, they handed over most of them, keeping only a small amount of pocket money. When they were short of money, they would go to Mama Astra to ask for more.
So, although the cost of this customized equipment was high, no one had any objections.
Roy and the others entered different rooms.
Because it was custom-made equipment, the blacksmiths' standards were strict to a degree that was somewhat demanding.
They wouldn't accept the physical data provided by the adventurers; they insisted on personally measuring their body dimensions, which is why Ryu had to bring Roy along.
Of course, women will have their own body measurements taken.
The Gubniu tribe also has female members; the female dwarfs are broad-shouldered and strong, and their imposing presence is in no way inferior to that of the men.
The measurement is complete. All the monster materials accumulated by the Astrea Familia to date have been handed over to the blacksmith of the Gubney Familia, and then all that is left is to wait.
Ryu returned to the Star Garden with Daphne and Cassandra, but Roy did not leave immediately.
Roy approached a thin old man and said, "Gubernius, I have long admired your name."
The old man was shirtless, thin but all muscle, just like any other blacksmith. His whole body was muscular, but the divine aura he exuded indicated that he was a god.
Lacking any divine arrogance, he worked in this workshop just like any other blacksmith.
Gubernault gave Roy a wary look. "Sprout of Justice, I'm practically sick of hearing your name lately. What do you want?"
Even Gubernius, the adventurer who leveled up the fastest in history, looked at him with a hint of admiration.
The gods favored humans capable of great deeds, and Gubernius was no exception; he crafted weapons to aid these individuals.
That is the significance of his descent to the mortal realm.
"I dare not accept such praise."
Roy humbly placed the Demon King's Armor before the other party, "God of Gubernius, may I take a look at this equipment?"
Upon hearing this, Guberniu saw the Demon King's Armor and, after just one glance, he could no longer look away.
Taking it from Roy, Gubernius examined it carefully, tapping and striking it, his brow furrowing more and more.
Gubernus said, "This breastplate is made from the torso bones of some kind of monster. It enhances its abilities by absorbing blood. It must be uncomfortable to use every time."
Roy gave Gubernius a thumbs up, "Impressive! The gods' eyesight is no joke."
"Could you please make some improvements?"
Roy said that the human body only has four or five thousand milliliters of blood, but this thing draws out a thousand milliliters at a time, several times in a row.
He'll probably be drained dry.
Gubernius shook his head decisively, "No, this breastplate is perfectly crafted."
As he spoke, a hint of anger appeared on Gubernius's face. Who on earth did this?
This breastplate doesn't look like it was forged; rather, it seems to have been created by some kind of force.
Therefore, it can be called "perfect," like a perfectly fitting jigsaw puzzle. Adding or removing even one piece would cause it to get stuck.
But there is no such thing as "perfection" in the world.
In Gubernius’s eyes, this piece of equipment was an insult to the blacksmith’s profession!
Gubernius could forge equipment of a higher level than the Demon King's Armor, but he would never forge such seemingly "perfect" equipment as the Demon King's Armor.
Perfection means the limit; once the end is reached, there is no possibility of further improvement for this equipment.
A hint of disappointment appeared on Roy's face.
Gubernus played with the Demon King's Armor, his deep eyes growing brighter and brighter. "Don't rush, little guy. I only said it can't be improved, not that it can't be 'degraded'."
Roy perked up. "You mean?"
"I'll take this job!"
At this moment, Gubernius had a wicked idea. He wanted to make the equipment "imperfect" and slap the person who created it hard across the face.
