Zongman: Don't move, Aisi, your family still owes me money

"Freya-sama, please forgive me for being blunt. As a new adventurer who has only been an adventurer for less than a month, there is absolutely no chance of defeating that monster."

After hearing Ota's words, Freya naturally understood the meaning behind them.

"Ah, I know, but isn't that what makes the incident more interesting?"

Freya replied with a smile, the face of the black-haired boy flashing through her mind.

Even she could barely see the person, but there was no doubt that the boy was someone who could bring joy and great changes to her and even Orario.

So, now it is the first test she has given, whether the young man can pass it or not, this is really exciting.

Chapter 48 The violence of power?

Three days later, the main body of the magic cannon was completely completed, with only the last step remaining.

The final step is to enchant the triple magic circle, which Merlin needs to complete personally.

Inside the workshop, a deathly silence enveloped the air.

Not far behind Merlin, at the workshop's gate, Hephaestus, Tsubaki, and Welf were standing there, watching from afar as Merlin, who was at the innermost part, was carrying out the final triple enchantment process.

"Lady Hephaestus, do you think... can this young man succeed?"

Chun crossed her hands on her chest, and looked at Merlin not far away with an unusual light in her eyes.

"I don't know, but the chances of success are about fifty-fifty."

Hephaestus shook her head and gave an ambiguous answer.

In the past few days, Merlin has successfully enchanted two magic circles.

But… she had never seen any of the three magic circles succeed.

At this moment, Welf said with certainty.

"Ah, Merlin will surely succeed."

The two women were shocked by Welf's confidence.

They couldn't understand where Welf's confidence came from.

At this time, Welf waved his hand and explained.

"Because this weapon was created by the joint efforts of Lord Hephaestus, the foremost divine craftsman in the heavens, Tsubaki, and myself, who possesses the blood of Clozo."

"If a weapon like this can't withstand the triple enchantment, then I'm afraid this will never be possible."

After Welf finished speaking, Hephaestus smiled.

Tsubaki glanced at Welf in silence. "You deliberately mentioned your Clozo bloodline to show that your skills are superior to mine?"

Welf did not respond to Tsubaki's complaint, but turned his head to look not far away.

"Almost over."

After hearing Welf's words, Hephaestus and Chun immediately looked over and held their breath, waiting for the enchantment process to end.

At this time, Merlin, who was sitting in front of the workbench, was breathing very quickly.

Because at this time, the enchantment has reached the final stage.

In fact, even he himself was enchanting this kind of material with a triple magic circle for the first time.

In the past period of time, Hephaestus and the other two successfully selected a material, and Merlin also successfully used that material to complete the double enchantment.

But he hadn't tried triple enchantment yet, or perhaps the preciousness of the material prevented him from trying it easily.

The materials needed to create a magic cannon the size of a magic cannon are worth hundreds of thousands of faris.

If Merlin hadn't made some money through other means after that, he might not even be able to afford the materials.

Of course, he was not charged for the labor costs at all.

This was also proposed by Hephaestus, and the price was that he could watch the final enchantment.

Merlin naturally accepted such a proposal with pleasure.

Anyway, they couldn't see anything just by watching from the side.

In this way, he could save a lot of labor costs, so he was naturally very happy.

If the enchantment of the magic cannon fails this time, then we may have to wait a week or two for the next one.

And that would greatly slow down the progress of his plan.

So this time, we must succeed!

Merlin took a deep breath and poured all his magic power into it, completing the final refining.

[Successfully Refined]

[Magic Cannon Successfully Produced]

As this hint flashed by, Merlin's heart finally settled down.

As the light of refinement disappeared, a brand new magic cannon appeared on the workbench.

From the outside, the magic cannon looks exactly the same as Merlin's original design. The barrel is nearly one meter long and can be disassembled. There is space reserved at the bottom for loading magic stones.

Of course, the most important thing is that the gun body is covered with patterns of three different colors.

One of them was the green flowing cloud-like pattern of the wind magic circle that Merlin had already seen, and the second was a flame pattern.

As for the last one, it is a blue lightning bolt engraved directly near the top of the barrel.

"Success."

Merlin's face was filled with excitement, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes as he looked at the magic cannon in front of him.

Even he himself did not expect that this time the enchantment would be successful.

The power of a triple-enchanted magic cannon is not simply 1+1+1=3.

By then, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the power exerted will increase exponentially.

At this time, Hephaestus and the other two at the door naturally heard Merlin's words and immediately came over.

"Did it work? Merlin!"

Welf asked in disbelief, then immediately examined the main body of the magic cannon. "It looks like nothing has changed, except for a few more lines on the surface."

"Hmm, are these patterns the magic circle called enchantment?"

Welf said this and subconsciously wanted to touch the magic cannon.

However, the hand he extended was immediately slapped away by Chun.

"Idiot, didn't you notice that this magic cannon actually emits...magical fluctuations."

"Don't touch it casually, what if it breaks?"

Tsubaki glared at Welf speechlessly and scolded him.

"Ah? No, this is a weapon. It shouldn't be that fragile, right, Lady Hephaestus?"

Welf rubbed his head and couldn't help but look towards Hephaestus, seeking approval.

"Huh? Welf, isn't Tsubaki right? This is the first special weapon successfully enchanted with three magic circles. If you break it, will you forge another one?"

Hephaestus scolded Welf harshly.

The two women's continuous scolding made Welf extremely embarrassed, and he could only shrink back and scratch his head.

At this time, Hephaestus strode forward, looked at Merlin and asked.

"Merlin, can I take a look?"

Looking at Hephaestus's burning gaze, how could Merlin have the nerve to say no?

"Oh, bro, can I take a look too?"

At this time, Chun also took the initiative to move closer, hugged Meilin's arm, and asked.

"no problem."

Merlin agreed immediately.

Soon the two women were touching the magic cannon all over, carefully stroking it as if it were their lover.

And further behind, Welf was standing there, watching the scene with a look of resentment on his face, like a complete nagging woman.

At this moment, Welf thought of something and looked at Merlin.

"By the way, Merlin, don't you want to test its power?"

"No, forget it."

Merlin shook his head and gave up the idea of ​​testing its power.

Or perhaps he had a vague understanding of its power.

And testing it on the ground will definitely make a huge noise.

"Haha, really? What a shame. Oh, by the way... Merlin, can you take me with you next time you explore the maze?"

"Don't look at me like that. I'm actually a Level 1 adventurer. I've been an adventurer for a long time, so I have a lot of experience that will definitely come in handy."

Looking at Welf's expectant eyes, Merlin naturally understood what this guy was planning.

Obviously, he wanted to follow him to the maze and see the power of the magic cannon up close.

But…there’s no reason not to use the knowledge base that comes to your door.

"Okay, then about the distribution of income..." Merlin was interrupted by Welf before he could finish his words.

"Ah, you can do whatever you want with me. Even if you give me the same ratio as the supporters, it doesn't matter."

Welf waved his hand, a glint of pride and joy in his eyes.

This time, he could experience the power of the magic cannon before Hephaestus and Tsubaki.

At this time, Hephaestus and Tsubaki, who were observing the magic cannon, also reacted.

"Huh? Not planning to test it? Brother, that's such a shame, wouldn't it be better to test it now? Besides..."

Chun had a look of dissatisfaction on her face and looked at Merlin with some resentment in her eyes.

"Lady Hephaestus, isn't that right?"

At this time, Chun brought the topic back to Hephaestus, intending to drag her into the water as well.

"Ahem, Tsubaki, don't make things too difficult for Merlin. After all, he must have his reasons. Wouldn't it be rude to continue to embarrass him?"

Hephaestus coughed and spoke seriously.

But after she finished speaking, she paused and added casually.

"Of course, as a forger, I naturally want to see with my own eyes what kind of power my child can unleash. Even if for some reason, it can't be realized, there is nothing I can do about it. After all, it depends on the wishes of the user."

"Ah, although I'm helpless, there's nothing I can do."

"Yes, there's nothing I can do about it."

Hephaestus deliberately repeated several times that there was no way.

That beautiful and mature face had an expression like that of a child who was angry.

Merlin could naturally hear the hidden meaning in her words.

However, it is definitely not possible to test the power of the magic cannon on the ground. After all, he doesn't want everyone to know that he owns large-scale lethal weapons.

"Well, I'll fill you in later. Welf will also follow me to the maze, and you'll be able to learn about its power from him."

Merlin's words finally made Hephaestus and Tsubaki's expressions relax.

"Ah, Welf, did you hear that? You have a huge responsibility."

"As the leader, I'd like to go too, but I have other things to attend to, so I can only leave it to you."

Tsubaki said as he patted Welf's shoulder.

"Welf, I have high hopes for you. Please write me a 10,000-word report on all the details and events you've observed."

Hephaestus spoke with a smile on her face, saying something extremely cruel.

After hearing this, Welf felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, and he felt extremely helpless.
