Since there was no longer excitement to watch, the other guests also returned to their seats.
"I said you two, you have to fight every time you meet, are you really not tired? Atleast give some little attention to your demeanor which a god should have!"
Seeing that Hestia and Loki were quiet, Hephaestus walked between the two goddesses, and looked at them helplessly with her hands on her hips.
In some ways, her relationship with these two guys is still very good.
"Yo, Hephaestus, long time no see. In fact, we don't want to care about some people who only know how to eat white rice. It's just, uh... let's not talk about this, who is this white little brother?"
Loki, who was planning to speak harshly at first, resolutely cut her words after seeing Riveria's unfriendly eyes, and could only change the subject hastily.
After all, her head is still aching!
On the other hand, Akira who pulled Hestia away just now also aroused her interest.
Even though the divine power was sealed, the eyesight of a god still existed. Akira's weirdness immediately caught her attention.
The other party did look like a newcomer at all, but he didn't have the slightest powerful aura on him.
There is no doubt that it is another good seedling!
"This is Akira, who just joined my familia today." Mentioning Akira, Hephaestus suddenly showed a heartfelt smile on her face.
This scene fell into Loki's eyes, and the corners of the mouth of the goddess of tricks also quietly twitched.
"Hey?! Hephaestus, you seem to be very optimistic about this kid. Is there anything special about him? I'm really curious!"
Saying so, Loki suddenly rushed to Akira with a 'swish', opened her eyes and looked up and down carefully, as if he wanted to see the characteristics that Hephaestus would like in the latter.
However, Akira, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, did not show the slightest clue.
When Loki was observing him, Akira also observing Loki in front of him.
Of course, he is aware of the temperament of this funny person in front of him, and she always likes to play pranks on the targets she is interested in, in order to achieve inner pleasure while the other party is showing ugliness.
However, it is just such an incomprehensible guy who pulls out such a powerful familia with one hand. I have to admire Goddess Loki's business talent, which is indeed extraordinary.
But now, maybe it has already degenerated because of being a shopkeeper for a long time!
"Hey, boy, i seem to feel malice from you, you aren't thinking bad about me in your heart?"
Just when Akira was thinking alone, Loki, who seemed to be aware of his inner thoughts, suddenly spoke suddenly, which made his heart tighten slightly.
I want to explain, but lies are not convincing in the face of gods.
There was no way, Akira could only quickly dispel the thoughts in his mind, and Loki didn't seem to have any further thoughts, so he escaped.
Maybe it's because of Hephaestus's face!
"Forget it, if it's the dwarf's familia, we might still grab it, but since this child is your child, Hephaestus, then it's fine."
"Let's go first, and I have to drink with my children . See you next time, Hephaestus, and the little man!"
After such greeting, Loki pulled Riveria and turned to leave.
The table not far from here is the position of the Loki familia, where many high-level adventurers of the Loki familia have gathered, and they still look at this side from time to time.
Apparently, they came to celebrate too.
"Tch, what a spoiler, I hate it to death!"
"Hestia!!!"
"Got it, got it, for the sake of Hephaestus, I won't bother with that dead tablet, hurry up and order, I'm about to starve to death!"
Hestia, who was warned by Hephaestus' eyes, stopped talking, sat down on her own, and beckoned to Lunoire to start ordering. Seeing her gazing in all directions, it seemed that she was going to get food ahd vent her frustration on eating.
In this regard, although Hephaestus sighed helplessly, but did not open her mouth to stop.
Anyway, she is also her god friend, and the relationship is very close. Although she is a bit lazy, she has a really good personality. Today is a welcome party to celebrate Akira's joining, so let her be a little bit more presumptuous!
"What's the matter, Akira, do you care about the Loki familia?"
Hephaestus turned around and noticed that Akira' eyes were vaguely staying in the direction of the Loki familia, and couldn't help asking.
"No, I just think that some adventurers are very powerful."
Akira shook his head lightly, and looked away from Loki's familia and the others.
He didn't lie, he was just speaking from his heart. Whether it was Finn, the blond head of the Loki familia, or Riveria, who had a nodding acquaintance before, they all gave him a great sense of oppression.
That kind of power is almost impossible to fight back.
"Is that so?"
Hearing Akira's response, Hephaestus couldn't help but smile slightly, "Don't be envious, your talent is no worse than anyone else, at least you are one of the best adventurers I have ever seen, and sooner or later, you will also become one of those first-class adventurers that are respected by others, so do your best!"
...
The encounter with the Loki familia was just a small episode and did only cause slight disturbance.
The celebration was extremely lively, although there were only four people, but whether it was Hephaestus and Tsubaki, or Hestia who came to have dinner, they all showed a warm welcome.
Just as the celebration ceremony deepened, the atmosphere quietly changed.
Perhaps because of the interest, his three companion just had a drink together in front of him, and the loud shouts echoed in his ears all the time.
Even the mature and steady Hephaestus joined at this time.
Seeing this scene, Akira, the only one who hadn't been drinking, had an inexplicable idea appeared in his mind.
Today's dinner may not be his welcome ceremony, it's just because they just want to drink!
Akira didn't drink, one reason is that his alcohol tolerance is very low and the other reason is that if someone gets very drunk later, he will carry them back.
It's impossible to throw your them on the side of the road, or they will definitely be laughed tomorrow.
In this way, in such a jubilant atmosphere, the welcome celebration also came to an end.
Without any accident, Hestia, who was the petite, fell down first. Although Hephaestus and Tsubaki were not completely drunk, they had already started to feel dizzy.
Knowing that it couldn't go on any longer, after Akira paid the money, he led the three of them towards the blacksmith's shop of Hephaestus.
As for your question about how to take three people...
Carry the Hephaestus on his back, and then support the goddess Hestia in his right side. As for Tsubaki, although she is drunk, she can take care of herself, but she still choose to lean to him for some support.
Fortunately, the three women are not particularly heavy, even if he is the only one, there is no problem.
Enjoying the bursts of fragrance from all directions, Akira held Hephaestus' tight thighs and walked towards the familia residence in the night.
The first night after coming to Orario was spent so uneventfully.
Although it was not as lively as expected, but it was so simple that it seemed not bad.
…
Boom!
A loud noise woke up Akira who was in a sleeping state.
He hurriedly opened his eyes, ignored the ceiling in front of him, jumped up from the bed, and looked in the direction of the sound.
Tsubaki's familiar face immediately came into view.
"Yo, good morning, Akira, how did you rest last night?"
"It's you, Tsubaki," Akira, who had figured out the situation, had a helpless expression appeared on his face again, "Tsubaki, please come to my room a bit appropriate next time, can you at least knock the door first?
Looking at the wooden door that was about to be completely torn apart, Akira felt it was difficult to breathe.
On the other hand, the culprit who caused all this is still full of ignorance.
"Oh, it's not an important thing. It's fine since you can fix it later...Okay, I'll pay attention to it next time. Is that okay?"
Tsubaki was a little overwhelmed by the death stare from Akira, so she could only make a promise quickly.
Although still skeptical about the latter's words, Akira can only believe this statement now.
After he got up and put on his coat, and finished tidying up the bed, he looked at Tsubaki again and asked, "So what's the matter with you coming to me so early, Tsubaki?"
"I was interrupted by you, and I almost forgot about the business!"
Tsubaki showed a reproachful look, stepped forward to catch Akira hand, and was about to pull it out, and kept urging: "Come with me, I will teach you about forging today, This is something that adventurers of Hephaestus Familia must learn."
"Of course, you don't have to worry too much. If you don't have the talent for forging, you can choose again later. Whether you just want to enter the dungeon or take forging too, come with me now!"
"Wait a minute, Tsubaki, i haven't had breakfast yet!"
Under Tsubaki's tough pull, Akira, who had just had a little bit of self-protection ability, was no match at all, and was dragged into the forging room without any strength to fight back.
Fortunately, although Tsubaki has a carefree style, she is still very careful occasionally.
After eating the breakfast prepared by the other party in advance and filling his stomach in front of him, Akira eyes immediately fell on the various tools in the forging room.
The blazing stove was emitting a scorching heat.
The walls of the forging room were covered with all kinds of weapons. His eyes swept over these equipments one by one. Although he didn't know much about forging, Akira could still distinguish their pros and cons.
This is a private forging room that only belongs to Tsubaki. There is no doubt that she made these equipments by herself.
Among human beings, Tsubaki is already the most powerful blacksmith!
"Have you never been to the forging room before?"
Akira fell into a sluggish state, which immediately gave Tsubaki a sense of accomplishment.
"Let me tell you, not everyone is qualified to be taught by me, even some old people in the familia have not had this kind of treatment, so you can let me teach you forging as soon as you come up, you are very lucky!"
Tsubaki walked into the forging room and closed the door, completely isolating it from the outside world.
She stepped forward and patted Akira on the back, and said boldly: "Come on, let me teach you the forging technique myself! Remember to study hard, this is the teaching of the number one blacksmith in Orario, don't let me down!"
"Understood, Tsubaki, I will work hard."
Akira responded quickly.
Although I also had a question in my heart just now, shouldn't Orario's number one blacksmith be the goddess Hephaestus? It's just that he didn't say this sentence.
It's better to do less of this kind of low EQ behavior.
Following Tsubaki figure, the two walked to the forging table one after another. The latter didn't seem to care about Akira's existence, and she may not have the concept of a difference between men and women at all, and remove her upper clothing leaving onl the forging clothes.
That is...a white bandage wrapped in her breast.
This unrestrained dressing idea may only be seen on Tsubaki.
While fiddling with the stove, she asked Akira: "While heating up the stove, let's do some basic inquiries first. How much do you know about forging?"
"Uh...probably just the basics..."
It is a little bit reluctant to say that basic knowledge, Akira understanding of forging is still at the level of burning the material red, and then continuously hitting it with a hammer.
After all, among the various film and television works in the previous life, this kind of picture appeared the most.
Fortunately, Tsubaki seemed to be mentally prepared in advance, and did not have too many expectations for Akira, so after hearing the response, her expression remained the same.
"It looks like a pure novice, but it doesn't matter. In fact, for adventurers, forging is not as difficult as imagined. It is very simple to create a qualified equipment. Just want to create high-quality equipment. It takes a lot of talent and savvy."
"Let's not go too far, let's start right now!"
After the furnace was successfully warmed up, the prerequisites for making equipment had been completed. In this world of swords and magic, there is no assembly line-like industry, and the forging relies only on manpower.
"Let me show you the complete forging process first, and take a look at your potential as a blacksmith."
Akira nodded, then leaned against the wall and watch, looking forward to Tsubaki's next move.
Although she is still far behind the god-level forging of Hephaestus, but as a human being, her skills can be regarded as the pinnacle.
Tsubaki didn't lie.
No one has the opportunity to watch her demonstrating her forging skills.
Any blacksmith who knows how to forge will probably benefit a lot from Tsubaki's forging process. If she can show her skills in person, you can see how much she cared about Akari!
Taking out some prepared materials, Tsubaki started to act directly.
"The forging process is actually not difficult. It is roughly divided into making templates, smelting metals, casting, forging, purifying and finally grinding and quenching. A qualified weapon is so simple to complete!"
"In this process, tools and equipment such as smelting furnaces, calcination furnaces, anvils, and quenching tanks are needed. This workbench is the product of sacred text carvings. It is very hard, so there is no need to worry about it being damaged during the forging process."
"This is probably the most basic forging technique!"
While Tsubaki was talking, the movements of her hands were also very fast.
After the metal ingot turned into red and bright state then the next part was to put it into the calcination furnace to become transparent and finally Tsubaki took it out with pliers and placed it on the anvil. up.
"The purpose of forging is to remove impurities and purifying the metal through calcination and external pressure to increase its strength."
The words on her mouth did not delay Tsubaki's movements. As a master blacksmith, her skill is of course worth mentioning. The long metal ingot was quickly hammered out of the basic shape.
Judging from its appearance, it should be a straight sword.
The sales of straight swords in Orario are not very good, but there is still a certain market.
After forging the metal to its basic shape she has to cool it down to dark red, Tsubaki then put it into the calciner for secondary purification, and then remove them out to continue forging.
Such a rhythmic voice fascinated Akira for a while.
The sound of forging obviously sounds very harsh, but at this time, instead of feeling noisy, it is very pleasant to the ear. This is probably the charm of blacksmiths!
The scorching temperature turned the forging room into a sauna room, and this high temperature was not something ordinary people could bear.
Accompanied by the violent movements, Tsubaki was already dripping with sweat, and even the clothes on her body were already soaked, making her already toned figure even more beautiful.
