Zongman: Sharingan just opened, you said it was the fault of the earth

As long as it involves the main task, the system's rewards... have never disappointed him.

Just as Bai Yulin was thinking about how to complete these two tasks, footsteps were heard.

The guard at the headquarters gate walked towards him and asked:

"Hello, this is the headquarters of the Hephaestus Familia. What can I do for you?"

Bai Yulin withdrew his thoughts and replied politely:

"I wish to see Lord Hephaestus."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a noticeable increase in scrutiny in the guard's eyes.

As the top and most prestigious forging faction in all of Orario, the Hephaestus family receives countless adventurers, chamber of commerce representatives, and noble envoys visiting them every day.

The drama of "three consecutive rejections of visiting applications" is played out every day at the threshold.

Want to see Hephaestus? Who wouldn't have to make an appointment six months in advance, submit documents, and undergo three rounds of review before even getting a chance to "wait for notification"?

What was this casually dressed, childish-looking boy thinking? How could he have the nerve to say such a thing? Perhaps he had walked into the wrong door!

Thinking of this, the guard was about to perform a set of familiar "three refusals" when he saw Bai Yulin slowly taking out a letter from his waist pocket.

Bai Yulin handed over the letter:

"Please tell them that Lord Loki sent me here."

The guard was stunned for a moment, his eyes falling on the feather and mark on the envelope.

There is no doubt about it, it is Loki’s family!

After swallowing his saliva, the guard's professional indifference suddenly subsided a bit and asked:

"What is your name?"

"Bai Yulin, a new member of Loki's clan."

Looking at the changing expressions of the guards, Bai Yulin suddenly felt that the name of the clan seemed to be a pass to Orario?

"Understood, Mr. Bai Yulin, please wait a moment, I will go and inform you right away!"

After saying that, the guard walked quickly towards the door.

The Hephaestus family really prioritizes efficiency, even a guard can do things so quickly.

Bai Yulin didn't have to wait long before he saw a woman with short black hair, an eye patch on her left eye, and an impressive asset that could be described as 'exaggerated', walking towards him.

Tsubaki Kobrand.

P.S. Thanks to big brother [hello] for the monthly ticket, I bow to thank you

Chapter 43: Blue Ribbon and Red-haired Goddess

Although she is a girl with a face that resembles a Far Eastern person, Tsubaki is not actually a pure human.

Rather, they are [half-dwarves] born from the union of humans and dwarves.

Perhaps because there is more human blood flowing in her body, there is almost no dwarf feature in her.

Instead of the typical short and stubby limbs, the limbs are long and slender.

However, what attracts the most attention is undoubtedly her impressive capital, which can be described as "exaggerated".

No matter how much Bai Yulin claimed to be knowledgeable, he couldn't help but shift his gaze slightly at this moment - it was too eye-catching.

Even though Chun is a woman, among the forging maniacs of the Hephaestus clan, she is not only a LV.5 adventurer, but also the pinnacle of the entire faction's forging technology.

Wearing a set of scarlet short hakama in a Far Eastern style, Tsubaki stopped in front of Bai Yulin:

"You are... Bai Yulin, the new member of Loki's clan?"

Chun grinned.

"You look smaller than I thought. Loki's been talking about you a lot lately, saying things like 'we've found a treasure' and 'we've become rich'."

As one of the most powerful factions in Orario, the Loki clan not only has a large number of adventurers and is powerful, but also has the largest demand for weapons and equipment in the entire labyrinth city.

Although Hephaestus himself has the best relationship with Hestia, the blue-ribboned girl, there is no hostility between her and Loki. Instead, they are the kind of "old enemies" who tease and insult each other but always look out for each other.

Not to mention that there are many blacksmiths in Loki's family who have signed exclusive contracts with Hephaestus' family.

"Lord Loki, you're just joking. I'm just an ordinary newcomer."

"There aren't many newcomers that Loki can talk about~"

Chun put one hand on her waist, shaking her proud capital up and down, and then looked at Bai Yulin from beginning to end again.

"You have good momentum. No wonder Loki thinks so highly of you."

Tsubaki said, and her expression under the eye mask seemed to relax slightly.

"Come in. Although our Lord Hephaestus doesn't like to see people, since it was sent by Loki himself, he agreed to come in for the first time."

Bai Yulin nodded and followed behind Chun.

Walking into the interior of the Hephaestus family, what I saw and heard along the way was exactly the same as the "strongest forging faction" rumored in the outside world, and even more shocking.

The clanging sound of metal knocking in my ears almost never stopped.

Not long after, the two stopped in front of a wooden door engraved with [Hφαιστο?].

Tsubaki knocked on the door and called out slowly:

"Hephaestus, I have brought the people."

"Come in."

After hearing a slightly low female voice coming from inside, Chun pushed the door open and walked in, followed by Bai Yulin.

The room was not as magnificent as Bai Yulin had imagined, but instead gave people a simple and plain feeling.

Various semi-finished weapons and blueprints were neatly arranged on the metal shelves, but the smell of rust in the air made Bai Yulin feel a little uncomfortable.

But soon, the figure in the house immediately attracted his attention.

Hephaestus, the goddess of forging.

Just like in the anime, Hephaestus still has red hair and wears the familiar men's white shirt. His outfit is slightly neutral, but gives people a different kind of beauty.

It was the "big canyon crack" in the upper body that made Bai Yulin couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Suddenly, a strange thought came to his mind:

"The Familia of Hephaestus...are they all this big?"

Unlike Tsubaki who covered his left eye, Hephaestus wore an eye patch on his right eye, while the left eye that was not covered was shining with a ruby-like light and stayed on Bai Yulin's face.

That look was as if he was looking at a rare treasure.

After a moment, the red-haired lady slowly spoke and gave her own evaluation:

"not bad."

Without waiting for Bai Yulin to speak, Hephaestus' fingers tapped lightly on the handwritten letter written by Loki on the table:

"I've read the letter. Loki said you need a weapon of your own?"

"Do you understand the price I'm offering?"

As she spoke, the red-haired lady changed her posture, crossed her legs, rested her elbows on her knees, leaned back in her chair, and stared straight at Bai Yulin.

Just as Bai Yulin was about to respond.

"Dong Dong Dong!!!"

There was a sudden knock on the door, followed by a slightly childish voice:

"Hephaestus! Hephaestus! Are you there? Are you there?"

Bai Yulin raised his eyebrows, feeling that this voice... sounded familiar.

The corner of Hephaestus' mouth twitched suddenly, and his face was full of black lines:

"Didn't I tell her to come in the evening?"

Chun, who was standing by, walked forward with a smile and opened the door:

"Here I come, Lady Hestia, please knock slower, or the door will break!"

Hmm? Hestia? Blue Ribbon?

Bai Yulin turned his head and what caught his eyes was a 'girl' with a little baby fat and a pair of big blue eyes that kept blinking.

The two black ponytails were tied into cute ear shapes with blue and white cloth strips and hung down to the waist.

The most eye-catching thing is her impressive assets that are extremely disproportionate to her petite figure.

The iconic blue ribbon was wrapped diagonally under her arm, forming a graceful arc that almost defied the laws of physics.

"Ok?"

Hestia blinked, her sapphire eyes fixed on Bai Yulin's face. Suddenly, as if she remembered something, her expression suddenly changed:

"You are——that... Bai Yulin!?"

P.S. My new book is launching, please give me some data, flowers, comments, etc. Thank you very much!!

Chapter 44: Shura Field, right? Bai Yulin's needs

Hearing this, Bai Yulin smiled and nodded, and said softly:

"Yes, Lady Hestia, I am Bai Yulin."

However, just as he was about to continue speaking, the blue ribbon man's expression suddenly changed.

Then, in full view of everyone, she plopped down on the ground, her face filled with visible sadness.

"Woooooooo..."

Hestia hugged her knees and muttered softly,

"Damn flat chest, damn flat chest..."

"How can we find such good family members? Wuwuwu..."

Bai Yulin was filled with questions. What was going on? He had never met Hestia before.

So he asked:

"Lady Hestia, what are you doing..."

"You really don't remember me?! You really don't remember me?!"

Blue Ribbon looked at Bai Yulin eagerly,

"I saw you on North Street before. Why are you walking so fast and joining the flat-chested clan?!"

Bai Yulin tried hard to recall, but still couldn't think of it:

"North Street? Hmm... Lady Hestia, I'm a little unrecognizable."

"Wow... you even forgot our first meeting!"

Hestia drooped her face.

"Didn't you smell the aroma of fried potato balls on your way to the Moon Mansion?"
