The Fukaros Familia, starting from DanMachi.

Chapter 85 The Powerful Burning Feather

"Well, that's a shame."

Upon learning that Fenyu truly did not know who the blacksmith was, Chun's face showed regret, like a gourmet missing the opportunity to savor a peerless delicacy.

She steered the conversation back on track, picked up the white-tasseled spear again, and examined it carefully.

"Getting back to the point, you're here today to sell weapons."

As she spoke, she lightly ran her fingers along the gun's shaft, "If judged solely on the materials and craftsmanship, I could probably offer two million falies for this spear, but—"

She paused, then looked intently at Fenyu.

"The new forging technology contained within is invaluable to me and to our Hephaestus Familia. I won't take advantage of you; how about ten million Fali?"

Chun quoted a price that made the air freeze.

"—Ten million?!"

Lefia's eyes widened; she could hardly believe her ears.

Ten million Fali is enough to buy a top-tier Tier 2 adventurer weapon, or even some more ordinary Tier 1 weapons.

Just for this seemingly ordinary spear?

Ais also showed a rare expression of surprise, a ripple flashing in her golden eyes.

"Okay, deal."

Unlike their shock, Fen Yu agreed almost without hesitation.

What a joke.

The weapon that Ais originally valued at a maximum of three million was increased to ten million due to the forging technology it came with.

This is like a windfall; he's hit the jackpot.

As for what earth-shattering things the Tsubaki or Hephaestus clan might discover from this gun, that's their skill.

He wasn't the kind of greedy person who wanted to take all the benefits for himself; he was already very satisfied with this unexpected joy.

"readily!"

Seeing Fen Yu's straightforwardness, Chun laughed heartily.

She admires this decisive and straightforward personality the most.

"Brother Fenyu, if you ever encounter any more weapons forged in this special way in the future, feel free to come to me anytime. I guarantee I'll pay a high price to buy them."

As she spoke, she patted Fenyu's shoulder hard, so hard that he stumbled. "Of course, if you want to forge any weapons yourself, you can come to me, and I'll give you a 20% discount."

For her, money was never an issue; the opportunity to access novel forging techniques was priceless.

Oh no, she's a rich woman.

Fen Yu's lips twitched involuntarily.

As Orario's top blacksmith, Tsubaki is definitely worth a fortune.

The Hephaestus Familia was one of the wealthiest commercial families in Orario, rolling in money.

As the leader of the group, Tsubaki is a genuine super-rich woman.

However, he certainly wouldn't refuse such a good thing, and immediately smiled and nodded in agreement.

Chun readily arranged the transfer, and the astronomical transaction of ten million Faris was thus finalized.

For Fenyu, this windfall was enough to ensure that he would not have to worry about the livelihood of his clan for a long time.

Just then, Lefia stepped forward and said, "Miss Tsubaki, I would like to have a weapon custom-made."

The matter with Fenyu is over, but hers is not yet finished.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Chun turned to the elven girl with interest, a hint of surprise on her face. "You're changing your staff? If I remember correctly, your 'Forest Tear' is the top-tier item in the second level of weaponry; it should still be sufficient for your use."

"No, it's not a staff."

Lefia shook her head, her gaze unconsciously drifting towards Fenyu, her voice softening slightly, "I want to—forge a longsword, preferably one that can withstand high temperatures."

Fen Yu's gaze flickered slightly.

A heat-resistant longsword? He instantly understood that this was a thank-you gift prepared by Lefia for him.

His "Eternal Flame" technique caused great damage to his weapon, a fact that the observant elf girl clearly noticed.

"A weapon that can withstand high temperatures—that's a bit of a problem."

Chun crossed her arms, a thoughtful expression on her face. "To achieve true heat resistance, you'd need to forge a weapon with 'indestructibility.' Ordinary materials don't offer much heat resistance."

"Not a bad attribute, is it? —"

Lefia initially showed interest, but soon that expectation faded and turned into a hint of disappointment.

"I—I don't think I can afford it."

Weapons with non-destructible attributes are extremely expensive.

Just look at Ais's "Sword of Despair" and you'll know; that sword is worth far more than many ordinary level one adventurer weapons.

With her current financial resources, she simply cannot afford it.

"Alright then, what level of weapon are you planning to forge?"

Chun was just making a suggestion.

Metals are inherently susceptible to fire, and the best option for high-temperature resistance is to avoid damage. However, as a top-tier blacksmith, she also has other ways to improve the heat resistance of weapons.

"Level two, I guess."

Lefia thought for a moment and then said.

Level 1 weapons are too expensive for her to afford, especially since the staff she uses is only level 2.

The second level was already the maximum sincerity she could offer.

"Level 3"

Suddenly, a clear voice broke in.

It is Burning Feathers.

Chun was taken aback at first, then looked at Fenyu, then at Leifia, and a look of understanding immediately appeared in her eyes.

She knew it! Why would a defensive mage like Lefia suddenly order a longsword? Turns out it was for this kid.

"Mr. Fenyu, I—" Upon hearing this, Leifia immediately pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Lefia".

Fen Yu shook his head, his expression more serious than ever before.

This time, he didn't use honorifics; instead, he called her by her name directly.

"I know you want to thank me, and I will accept your gift, but something too expensive won't do."

He stared directly into the elven girl's azure eyes, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"But—Mr. Fenyu—" Lefia said anxiously.

In her view, it was a life-saving grace, and it would be worth it no matter how much money she spent, let alone a mere second-level weapon.

"No buts."

Fen Yu's attitude was somewhat firm. He turned to Chun and said with a hint of apology, "Miss Chun, I'll trouble you to forge the level three weapon."

"Hahaha, no problem."

Seeing the amusing scene before her, Chun couldn't help but burst into laughter. "This young man has quite the spirit! I like him."

She patted Fenyu on the shoulder with appreciation, then turned around decisively and walked into the smoke-filled forge, preparing to personally start the furnace for this special high-temperature resistant weapon.

The fact that the "One-Eyed Master" personally took action, even if it's just a level 3 weapon, is enough to make people look forward to its quality.

"What...how could this be?"

Lefia stared in disbelief as Fenyu and Chun disregarded her opinions and reached an agreement with just a few words.
