After the words fell, Hephaestus, who was originally leaning against the door, paused for a moment, with a hint of astonishment in his eyes:
"Wait, you said...it was Yu Lin who went into battle?"
"Have you already decided on the candidate?"
Of course, she didn't know that Loki's family had already finalized the list.
The personnel arrangements for the war game are usually officially announced by the guild at noon.
It was only early morning, and Hephaestus certainly hadn't heard anything yet.
The red-haired lady had a rare nervous expression on her face. She walked a few steps to Bai Yulin and said with a frown:
"Yu Lin, are you serious? Even if you grow faster now, you're only at LV.2... LV.2 versus LV.7, this, this, this..."
"I know."
Bai Yulin shrugged 1.0,
"But I have to try it. Challenging LV.7 or something like that is exciting just thinking about it."
As soon as the words fell, the room was silent.
Hephaestus opened his mouth, but in the end he could only sigh helplessly, took a step back, and leaned against the door again:
"...He's a kid with the same moral character as Loki."
Hermes also shook his head. He didn't expect that his mediation would end so quickly.
Well, to be precise, it ended in failure.
"I'll go ask Freya first."
Adjusting the brim of his hat slightly, Hermes' tone still contained a hint of persuasion:
"But Yu Lin...even if you don't accept mediation, I still hope you can withdraw from this one-on-one."
"As long as the war game hasn't officially begun, the combatants can be replaced."
There was a hint of genuine worry in his eyes as he looked at Bai Yulin:
"Although the guild has been doing its best to avoid casualties caused by clashes between clans, this is a war game after all."
"Ota...he will show no mercy."
Hearing this, Bai Yulin stopped what he was doing and grinned:
"What a coincidence, I... thought so too."
……
ps. Chapter 4, mission accomplished!
ps2. Thanks to brother [real name] for the monthly ticket!
ps3. The picture is Yasfi Al Andromeda.
Chapter 74: [Subscribe] Let Ota feel despair, that is what I intend to do
Hearing this, Hermes felt his head buzzing instantly.
He opened his lips, wanting to say a few more words of advice, but the words were suddenly blocked on his tongue.
In Bai Yulin's calm and deep eyes, there was no hesitation, no impetuousness or arrogance, only an almost calm confidence.
It is a kind of calmness that comes from mastering power.
"Tsk..."
"I'm not arrogant..."
Hermes murmured, his brows full of complexity.
After thinking for a moment, he finally sighed and waved his hand:
"Good luck, Yulin."
Without saying anything else, Hermes turned to Yasfi and nodded:
"We should go."
The blue-haired girl pushed her glasses, glanced at Bai Yulin, then looked at the crow puppet on the table that was torn to pieces, a hint of strong interest flashed in her eyes.
"See you next time,"
She spoke softly,
"Show me its complete form."
"Of course, as long as you don't mind the roughness, I can let you see the internal structure next time."
Puppets, which do not rely on magic stones to operate and are not constructed like traditional magic tools, have never appeared in the world of Dicuo.
For magic tool makers like Yasifei, it is like a treasure.
His eyes lit up and he was about to say something else, but was pulled back by Hermes's light cough.
She could only wave her hand regretfully:
"Then it's settled."
After saying this, he followed Hermes out of the forging room.
The room became quiet again, with only the still warm iron tools on the forging table and the crackling furnace remaining.
Hephaestus did not leave. He just quietly watched Bai Yulin tinkering with the disassembled puppet crows. Suddenly, he smiled and said:
"Have you thought about your life after joining Freya's family?"
Bai Yulin paused, raised his head and said with a helpless smile:
"Why does even Lord Hephaestus say that?"
"It's only natural that no one is optimistic about you!"
Hephaestus shrugged, and the mature charm of the red-haired lady was fully revealed at this moment.
"This forging room will be left to you from now on. If you need any materials, feel free to come to me."
"Is this true?!"
Bai Yulin's eyes lit up.
"Then I want a few now!"
He thought for a moment and immediately listed several materials that were extremely suitable for puppet strengthening:
"Heavy rainbow steel, elven silver, and a little sand powder... well, mobility should be improved to a new level."
Hephaestus: "..."
The red-haired lady twitched her lips, stared at him for a few seconds, and then sighed softly:
"Is it possible that I'm just being polite?"
Bai Yulin showed a harmless smile:
"These days, if you miss a courtesy from a god, you might lose ten years of your life."
Hephaestus rolled his eyes, but ultimately did not refuse:
"Write a list and I'll have someone pick it up later and deliver it to you."
"Just this once! But..."
"But what?"
Looking at the increasingly obscene smile of the red-haired lady, Bai Yulin had a bad feeling in his heart.
"But if you can join my clan, you can use all the materials you want. I can even help you with Freya's affairs."
Bai Yulin:? ? ?
The real purpose is revealed! The real purpose is revealed!
Bai Yulin was about to refuse, but before he could say anything, he saw the red-haired lady's smile of "successful plan" appear on her face, as if she had predicted his reaction in advance.
"I'm just kidding. I'll still arrange the materials. You can continue with your work."
Having said that, she turned around, pushed open the door of the forging room and walked out.
After walking a few steps along the main road of the Hephaestus clan headquarters, the red-haired lady suddenly raised her head, looked at the sky of Orario and whispered softly:
"If only I had been on North Street at that time..."
"Bai Yulin of the Hephaestus family sounds pretty good."
……
Three days passed quickly.
In the past few days, Bai Yulin has been almost completely immersed in the forging room of the Hephaestus clan.
The pile of materials in front of me was also quietly piling up higher and higher.
Hephaestus' words "Just this once" became, to some extent, the biggest lie of these three days.
Bai Yulin had just made a list of materials in the morning, and in the afternoon, sweaty porters came banging the things in. Even some precious and rare alloys and magic accessories were on the list.
"Um... Lord Hephaestus really said he would give me these?"
Bai Yulin wanted to confirm it, but he only received a wry smile from the manager:
"If she says you can use it, then you can use it."
Bai Yulin fell silent.
Is this a “one-time offer” or an “unlimited supply”?
As for whether these materials would become his infinite liabilities... he really didn't dare to ask.
But now that it has been delivered, there is no reason not to use it.
Bai Yulin silently sighed, "It's hard to repay a debt of favor," while speeding up his movements.
As the hammer fell for the last time, there was a crisp and steady sound.
Amidst sparks flying, the improved version of the crow puppet was finally completed.
It stood quietly on the forging table, and its appearance did not look much different from the previous "weird-looking" three-eyed, four-armed crow, still with that shape between weird and mechanical beauty.
But if you look closely, you can see that—
On its chest, there suddenly appeared a core structure that was glowing with a light blue light.
It was a core constructed of high-purity magic crystal.
Its appearance is similar to the structure of the Ark Reactor in Iron Man's chest in Bai Yulin's previous life on the Blue Planet.
In the center of the circle, there is a soft yet surging halo rotating, transmitting stable energy fluctuations like a "heartbeat".
This core, under the infusion of the mysterious development ability, has the specific ability of strength.
The same hidden attribute as Bai Yulin's Kusanagi sword.
But this is not the end.
Bai Yulin turned his gaze and looked at the crow's four arms.
It was a forging structure that he had recast with his own hands. Each arm was inlaid with guiding runes of lightning attributes and fire chakra grooves.
That is to say-
This crow can be infused with lightning and fire chakra by Bai Yulin at any time, and after being strengthened with core power, its power will be further increased!
Unfortunately--
Bai Yulin looked down at the crow in his hand. He had not yet figured out how to instill complete ninjutsu into the puppet.
"Time...it's still not enough."
He took the crow back into his sea of consciousness and glanced out the window.
The night is deep.
