Chapter 17: So, it's this time period, huh? 

"The price will still be based on the old price, come to collect it in five days," Goibniu, casually glancing at Ethan, who was rummaging for weapons. As long as he didn't mess around in his shop, whatever the customer did was their own business.

"Thank you for your trouble."

"Anyway, you adventurers always cause trouble for us blacksmiths. After this expedition, you'll definitely bother me again. How did a sword with such a good attribute get so battered?"

"Sorry," a neither light nor heavy voice responded.

"Never mind, use this sword for now. If it gets damaged, you'll have to compensate according to the full price."

"Thank you."

After Ais finished speaking, she left.

"I hope we can reach deeper floors on this expedition. But every time, something unexpected happens on those few floors and we have to retreat. There's no progress at all," Riveria sighed.

"Mm."

Ais and Riveria passed by Ethan, who was looking for a pair of swords.

Ethan looked up and locked eyes with Riveria .

Ethan: She truly is an elves. Over seventy years old and still so young and beautiful. It's hard to imagine that such a delicate body contains the power to easily destroy a town. Give me half a year, and I will also reach the level of a top-tier Lv.6 adventurer.

Riveria : His eyes are naive and inexperienced, his muscles lack the coordination of long-term combat, and there are not many traces of holding a sword on his hands. Yet he uses a sword, and his aura is only at the level of a high-ranking Lv.1. The woman next to him is Eina, a guild staff member. He's a new adventurer, but that slight palpitation just now... this young man's talent or magic is frighteningly strong. Sooner or later, he will become a top-tier adventurer and make a name for himself.

Ais: My sword is gone, and the new one doesn't feel right. It's uncomfortable.

"I'll take these two swords. They feel very comfortable to use."

Ethan quickly withdrew his gaze. Two white long swords were turned out from the messy weapon rack.

All the swords that could be collected were collected. The two swords in his hand were the best among them, and they were made of the same material.

"Oh, you're lucky. These two swords are the best ones here. They're made from the two teeth of a Sabertooth Tiger mixed with iron essence. They're almost a tier three weapon."

The big bearded man with bare arms crossed his arms and grinned, showing his uneven big teeth, surprised at the newcomer's luck.

"For Miss Eina, who always brings new people to our shop, the discounted price is 9000 Valis."

It was indeed very cheap. In the end, he bought a light armor made of metal rabbit fur mixed with iron essence, paid 12,000 Valis, and left the weapon shop.

"Thanks to Miss Eina, I was able to buy such affordable and useful swords. Plus the help before, I really don't know how to thank you." Ethan said, tucking the two swords into his waist.

"As long as you can come to the guild to exchange magic stones every day, and don't owe me any consulting fees, that's the best thank you. So, goodbye, Mr. Ethen." Eina waved her hand with a smile, then turned around at the crossroads and gave a final reminder.

"Adventurers should not take risks, be sure to pay attention to safety, Mr. Ethen."

"Thank you, then goodbye." Ethan waved his hand warmly. Miss Eina was as kind and considerate as he remembered. If he married her, she would definitely be a good wife.

Wait, where did my thoughts go?

Wait, Ethan thought of something and his face turned pale. Hey, it seems that Miss Eina just set a death flag for me again. It's over, it's over, I'm definitely not going into the dungeon today.

"I still have so much money left after buying the equipment. I'll treat the Goddess to a big meal tonight to celebrate. I wanted to celebrate last night." Ethan patted his light armor, then patted his money bag, thinking of the Goddess's happy face and couldn't help but smile.

Then his expression gradually became serious, and he rubbed his chin with his fingers.

Although he was a little surprised to meet Ais and Riveria just now, he got some information from their conversation.

Expedition... This is a task issued by the guild to the families of top-tier adventurers, that is, Lv.5 and above adventurers, to continue exploring the unknown floors of the dungeon.

And this time period can confirm a few things.

Bell Cranel has not yet come to Orario, and the expedition takes a long time, at least half a month. Bell encountered the Minotaur half a month after becoming a member of the Hestia Familia, when the Loki Familia's expedition had just ended and returned.

In other words, Bell Cranel is now on his way here, or looking for a Familia to join.

"Hehe, the protagonist who is watched by the gods, I can't let you meet Hestia. Although the possibility of meeting because of my butterfly effect is very small, it's still not safe." 

Ethan squinted his eyes. No man wants people he knows to be touched by the protagonist.

Especially the protagonist whose fate is set by a bunch of old coins.

In order to make Bell the final hero of mankind to fight against the black dragon, those gods who participated in the hero cultivation plan gave Bell trials like Russian dolls, one set after another.

Therefore, as long as it has something to do with him, it is destined to be involved in the vortex of misfortune.

Although Ethan doesn't dislike Bell himself, and doesn't hate the Virgin Mary, he only hates the Virgin Mary.

Virgin Mary: I have the power, I want to help others.

Virgin Mary: You have the power, why don't you help others?

But in order not to be involved in the vortex of misfortune for himself and the people he likes, it's better to coax him into the Freya Familia after meeting him.

Anyway, Bell is the center of the vortex, and it doesn't matter if there is one more vortex.

Now that he has a new sword, Ethan can't wait to know how strong he is now.

The power has increased too fast, and he has no positioning of his own power level at all. He only knows that he is very strong now, but he has no real feeling just by guessing.

Humming a little tune, he returned to the abandoned area of the slum on the southeast street, and did not rush back to the abandoned church.

"Phew! I can let go and fight here."

Ethan exhaled, there were Roman columns and abandoned houses everywhere. From the carvings on these broken ruins, you can see that this place was once very gorgeous.

This large area of ruins was once the residence of the Hera Familia. Now the small basement of the Hestia Familia is also the ruins of the Hera Familia's church. But the original prosperous area was also destroyed here after the Hera Familia was driven out of Orario.

"Projection, start!"

Feeling the projection of the sword stored in the unknown space, the blue light of magic power lit up in his hand.

"Create a firm concept! Determine the basic skeleton, copy the constituent materials, imitate the manufacturing technology, empathize with the growth experience, and reproduce the accumulated years."

Superior, complete many projects───

At this moment, complete the sword that gathers fantasies!

In less than three seconds, the entire process of making a sword was copied once, and the shadow in the inherent barrier was manifested in reality.

The process of making the sword, materials, experience, etc., were all compressed within a few seconds.

The sword gradually forming in his hands was exactly the same as the two swords tucked into his waist.

"So, next."

Ethan instantly activated his only sword skill.

A powerful force awakened in his body in an instant.

The airflow brushed over the double swords, and everything in his sight seemed to have turned on the slow-motion key.
