"Freshly imported fruit, crispy, sweet, and delicious; adventurers must try it!"
"Fried Potato Balls with Red Bean Cream! Fried Potato Balls with Taro and Purple Yam! Fried Potato Balls with Salt Flavor!"
"..."
There was constant shouting from both sides of the street. When Estelle heard the fried potato balls, he couldn't help but stop and turn his head to look for the sound.
Tall, pure-looking, bronze-skinned, and revealingly dressed, he could tell that she comes from the Amazon.
Touching the bag with less than 30,000 valis in his bosom, Estelle took out 100 valis and went forward to buy two red bean cream fillings.
As breakfast, continue to look for the blacksmith shop while eating.
Even the blacksmiths of the Hephaestus familia have good and bad days, and not all members have the right to sell equipment in the Tower of Babel.
Success is often a gift to those who are prepared.
Since you chose to join the Hephaestus familia, you must be fully prepared. You can't just run to the door of the familia without thinking; open your mouth and shout, I want to join your familia.
As one of the most popular familia in the entire Orario familia, there are many people who want to join the Hephaestus familia every year.
If they accepted anyone they saw, then the Hephaestus familia would have already become the most numerous familia in Orario.
And Estelle searched for the blacksmith shop of the Hephaestus familia in order to obtain information from insiders.
Of course, the time is limited to this morning.
In the afternoon, he had to go down to the dungeon to hunt some goblins on the upper floor to maintain his daily expenses since the remaining 30,000 would be spent on equipment.
If you are looking for other shops, it may take a while, but if you are looking for a blacksmith shop, then things are much simpler.
Looking for the dull knocking sound of "ping ping ping ping", Estelle quickly found a blacksmith shop with the mark "Ηϕαιστο", which is unique to the Hephaestus familia.
Wiping off the crumbs of potato balls from the corner of his mouth, Estelle stepped into the blacksmith's shop. The moment he stepped into the shop, he could feel the difference in temperature between inside and outside.
The huge burning stove in the room made the average temperature in the whole room more than ten degrees higher than the outside world.
Perhaps sensing that someone had entered, a naked-chested, strong man in front of the forging platform slowly stopped what he was doing.
And put the sword embryos that had cooled down back into the furnace.
Putting down the forging hammer in his hand, the man turned his head with a smile on his face, looked at Estelle, who was standing at the door, and then asked, "Does the customer need to customize or repair equipment?"
Staring at the benevolent blacksmith, Estelle took out 20,000 Valis and opened his mouth to answer under the slightly puzzled expression of the other party.
"Can I use this money to borrow your forging table for a while?"
"Forging table?"
The strong man looked at Estelle in astonishment. It was the first time he had encountered such a strange request from the guest in Orario.
But when his eyes fell on Estelle's equipment and he saw its condition, he understood something instantly.
Opening his mouth and laughing, the man didn't pick up the 30,000 valis.
"As long as you can swing it."
Without too many words, the man turned around and pulled out a spare forging hammer that was one size smaller from the forging table.
"Take..." The man was about to throw it to Estelle casually, but he stopped halfway through the lift.
From his point of view, the youth who don't even have a piece of protective gear were probably newcomers who had just arrived in Orario, and their level must be around Lv1.
If you are still an agility adventurer, it is very likely that you will not be able to catch it, and you may even be injured by the forging hammer.
"Try it; can you swing it?"
As he spoke, the man handed the forging hammer to Estelle.
Knowing that the other party meant to take the initiative to let him go whoring for nothing, Estelle didn't say many polite words when he was in such an embarrassing situation and reached out to take the small black hammer.
It was only when the strong man let go that he realized how heavy this fist-sized forging hammer was.
The right hand directly dropped by 30 centimeters, and only then did it exert enough force to grab the hammer in his hand.
Based on my feelings, the weight of this spare forging hammer is at least half a ton.
Of course, he lifts heavier hammers than this, so he quickly adapted to it.
See this scene.
The sturdy man of the Hephaestus familia couldn't help showing a look of astonishment.
He knows his own forging hammer; even some Lv2 adventurers who are not good at strength may not be able to pick it up with one hand.
But if you can afford it, you can afford it. Whether you can swing it or not is another matter.
But soon he was surprised again.
I saw Estelle, who was holding a forging hammer in his right hand, come to the front of the forging table and immediately hammer on the anvil with a "ding".
Then he took out an arrow from the quiver behind him, took off the arrowhead, clamped it to the anvil with iron tongs, and then there was a "jingling" knocking sound.
Estelle didn't want to reveal his ability to forge, as even when forging a third-level weapon, his experience can be seen through, but such trivial things as sharpening an arrow will be seen as him being talented at forging.
Apart from this, he did this to save money and show his talent.
As for the extra 10,000 since 30 arrows cost 9,000, it was for recasting his bow.
Coupled by arrows, which cost 100 valis per pair,
"You are quite strong, brother."
Unknowingly, the strong man changed his address to Estelle and asked a little curiously, "Who is your god?"
Hammering the arrow non-stop, Estelle answered without looking back.
"I just arrived in Orario these past few days, and I haven't decided which familia to join."
"You haven't joined the familia yet?"
Hearing Estelle's answer, the man showed surprise and astonishment.
Looking at the clothes on Estelle's body again, he asked in disbelief.
"Did you go down the dungeon by yourself before you joined the familia?"
heard the words.
Estelle stopped the movements of his hands, turned his head, and grinned at the man, very much like the simplicity and innocence of an anime hero.
"Orario is the dream for every person who wants to become an adventurer. Whether I become a member of the familia does not stop me from yearning for the dungeon!"
Staring at Estelle in a daze, Estelle turned back to beat the arrow earnestly again, and the man remained silent for a long time.
What the young man said just now brought back memories of many years ago. Why didn't he come to Orario with such passion, disregarding all opposition?
Think here.
The man picked up the forging hammer again and stepped forward to pick up the broken bow, complaining in a tone of resentment: "Your equipment has become like this, so you must have fought an exciting battle; consider yourself lucky since I'm in a good mood."
As he spoke, he grabbed the iron clip and recast the bow.
The bow has been damaged, but except for those blacksmiths, no one will notice it. If he is an ordinary adventurer, then it would be very unlucky if the bow was destroyed in the middle of the fight.
A total of thirteen arrows became brand new in less than ten minutes under Estelle's superb skills.
The bow that the man cast has also been completed.
"As expected of a master craftsman of the Hephaestus Familia, it looks like a newly purchased bow."
Estelle has never been stingy with compliments that don't cost money.
The strong man who was a bit flattered showed a satisfied expression, clapped his hands, and replied calmly; "If I don't have this ability, how can Lord Hephaestus allow me to open a shop?"
Suddenly thinking of something, the man regained his composure.
"Going to the Dungeon next?"
Putting 30 arrows into the quiver, Estelle nodded and said, "I used up all my valis on the way to Orario, so I have to go to the labyrinth to earn some living expenses."
"Also, thank you very much for your help!"
After all, he turned around and was about to leave the blacksmith shop.
But just as he stepped out of the shop, a man's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Here!!"
Hearing the sound and looking back, Estelle saw a black object coming towards him and subconsciously reached out to grab it.
When he saw what was in his hand, a genuine surprise appeared on his face, and what the man threw was a dagger.
"The money you sent is more than enough; this dagger will be my gift to you.
