The son of the dragon who walks

Chapter 156 Ciel’s Tips

Of course, Ciel didn't know how much Hephaestus expected of him, and what he was thinking of doing right now.

Ciel pulled the backpack on one side and said to Hephaestus: "Since we have decided to hide the level temporarily, we can only ask God to help us deal with these things."

Hephaestus had long known that Ciel had gone directly to the lower level this time, so she also understood that he could not handle his trophies by herself.

It is unreasonable no matter how you think about it, for a LV1 adventurer to go to the gold exchange with a lot of LV3 and LV4 magic stones.

But even so, Hephaestus was still shocked at first glance, and then she keenly sensed something was wrong.

"You have too many materials to enhance your species here! Why did you encounter so many rare monsters along the way?"

Charles replied: "Well... I forgot to mention that I met Jaru of the Rudra family on the 27th floor. These magic stones and dropped materials were left behind by the monsters he brought."

Hephaestus frowned and said: "Rudra Familia? Have you met the dark sect?"

Charles told Hephaestus how he met Charla and everything that happened after that.

After listening to Ciel's narration, Hephaestus fell into deep thought. Ever since Lyu Lion's rampage five years ago (Hayte), the dark sect has completely disappeared.

Hephaestus did not expect that the news about those madmen would come from Ciel again, and that they would appear in a place like the underground city.

Hephaestus keenly sensed something unusual.

She did not doubt what Ciel said. God always trusted her children.

And she also believed that even if it was Juluo, there would be no other consequences if he bumped into Ciel and took action against him.

What worries her is why Jaru appears in the dungeon.

As we all know, the only way to enter the dungeon is through the Tower of Babel, and the Tower of Babel is managed by the guild.

Since the "Nightmare on the 27th Floor" six years ago and the "Disaster Resurrection" five years ago, the guild has become more vigilant about dark factions entering the dungeon.

Because the former resulted in the death of a large number of elite adventurers, and the latter resulted in the destruction of the Astralia Familia. The guild was responsible for the stability of Orario and could not afford to suffer too many such losses.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for a famous member of the dark sect like Jaro to pass through the Tower of Babel.

And he will appear in the underground city, unless he has been living in the underground city for the past five years.

Although it is possible to survive on a safe floor, Hephaestus knows the dark faction very well. How can these madmen hide honestly? They must be planning some activities.

To complete an event will definitely require a lot of manpower and resources.

In this way, they would not be able to stay in the dungeon all the time. On the one hand, it would be difficult to hide, and on the other hand, they would not be able to advance their plans.

For a moment, Hephaestus felt that her thoughts were in a mess and she had no clue at all.

After hearing what Hephaestus said, Ciel understood what she was talking about, so he said, "Maybe there are other entrances to the dungeon!"

"Impossible!" Hephaestus looked at Ciel as soon as he finished speaking, and said doubtfully: "Didn't you discover something?"

Charles nodded and took out Jala's whip from his backpack.

"This is the magic tool held by Cha Luo. There are not many people in Orario who can make such a tool!

I heard that the descendants of Daedalus also possess [mystery].”

Hephaestus's insight and wisdom are so outstanding, she connected everything together when Charles finished speaking.

Underground labyrinth! This is the answer Hephaestus thought of after Ciel prompted it.

To be precise, the underground maze should be called a man-made maze.

Thousands of years ago, the gods came to the lower world, bestowed favor on mankind, and built a miraculous building - the Tower of Babel.

The person responsible for the design and construction of the Tower of Babel was Daedalus, a descendant of Uranus.

Not only the Tower of Babel, but also Orario's urban planning and sewer construction were designed by this master. Orario even has a maze-like Daedalus Street to commemorate this master architect.

But the great master went crazy because he saw the real miracle, which was the dungeon itself.

So Daedalus wanted to build a building similar to the underground city.

Because the structure of the dungeon is conical, Daedalus's plan was to build a labyrinth like a lid that would be connected to the dungeon to eliminate the floor restrictions of the dungeon.

But unlike dungeons that can repair themselves, man-made structures can collapse due to the passage of events.

If you want to build a maze like a dungeon, you need to use a material with "indestructible" properties, which is Oliha steel.

This material has a very famous name in fantasy novels, and that is orichalcum, a precious metal of the same level as adamantine and mithril.

Ais' Sword of Despair is made of this material. A thin sword is worth 96 million mana.

And Daedalus planned to use this material to build a labyrinth, which is impossible if you think about it.

And after Ciel gave the hint, Hephaestus also thought of the impossible man-made maze.

Although it is impossible to complete the artificial maze as Daedalus originally imagined, it is not impossible to connect the dungeon to form other exits.

Thinking about it this way, the position of the descendant of Daedalus is quite suspicious.

Even Hephaestus began to doubt the position of Icarus, the main god of the clan where the descendants of Daedalus belonged.

As mentioned before, the main gods of the dark factions are not all evil gods, and Icarus's behavior is quite suspicious.

Hephaestus sighed. It is clear that the job of Hephaestus Familia is only to create equipment for adventurers, why are they involved in such trouble!

Glancing at Ciel, Hephaestus knew that this was not his fault.

Do you want to pretend that nothing happened? That way you won't have too much trouble.

But Hephaestus couldn't sit idly by when she thought about what the dark faction might do.

Thinking of this, Hephaestus stood up directly and said: "This matter is not a headache for us in the first place, let's leave it to the people who should have a headache to deal with it!

Leave the rest of the matter to me to negotiate with the other families, and you can prepare for the workshop honestly.

By the way, all your daggers and scimitars have been sold. Just sort out the things you want to sell, and I will ask other members of the family to help you get them to the money exchange. Then we will hand over the money to you.

.”

After saying that, Hephaestus turned around and left, apparently intending to discuss the matter with other gods.

Ciel had no objection to Hephaestus's decision. This god really arranged everything thoughtfully.

Ciel simply tidied it up, and then began to perfect the drawings of his forging workshop on the desk.

From the looks of it, he didn't take it to heart at all that he had revealed the existence of the dark faction and defrauded the Icarus family.
