The son of the dragon who walks

Chapter 161 Taking care of children

Hephaestus stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the room, looking at the rising sun, and her mood improved a lot.

Leave the matter of the dark faction to Loki, and you don't have to worry about anything else after that.

That guy Chun went on an expedition with the Loki Familia again, and no one caused any mess for him.

The tinkling sound of iron that had been ringing in the distant workshop since early morning was like music to her. At this time, she felt that it would be good to live some peaceful days like this once in a while.

boom!

Just when Hephaestus was enjoying the tranquility, the roof of a forge workshop in the distance suddenly exploded, and a blazing pillar of fire came out. Then the billowing smoke continued to rise after the pillar of fire dissipated.

came out.

"That guy Chun, is he experimenting with the magic sword in the workshop again?"

Hephaestus subconsciously scolded her, but she immediately realized that Tsubaki was still in the dungeon.

"What kind of idiot is he again?"

Hephaestus screamed and set off to see who made such a big noise.

…

"Cough cough cough!"

Charles fanned away the surrounding black smoke with his hands, coughing and escaping from his half-collapsed workshop.

And he was holding a short sword with a red crystal-like blade in his hand.

That is no ordinary equipment, but the magic sword that adventurers dream of.

Generally speaking, making a magic sword requires a high-level [forging] ability. But with Char's assistance, this standard is not so strict for him.

After turning the materials in his hands into various equipment, Ciel suddenly wanted to try to create a magic sword.

The principle of making a magic sword is actually very simple, that is, the magic spells that humans can weave by chanting incantations are woven into the weapon through forging.

The materials used to make weapons are also quite special, usually magic-rich ores or even monster stones.

This kind of material itself has powerful magic power and can also be used for magic spells.

But generally speaking, the strength of this type of material is not high, so the magic sword will be damaged after use.

But even so, a magic sword that can activate magic at any time is enough to get adventurers out of trouble at critical moments. Therefore, the price of magic swords has always remained high, and there is even no market for it.

Although Ciel's forging level is very low, he can easily weave spells with Fahr's assistance.

Moreover, after adding Farr's magic power, the power of the magic sword has also been greatly enhanced.

Don't ask how Charles knew, the evidence was behind him. The workshops that the Gu Bonniu family had specially fortified were blown open, and ordinary magic swords did not have such power.

Ciel still underestimated the difficulty of making the magic sword, and the problem lay in the last step. Ciel accidentally released the power of the magic sword during the finishing process. Although he was able to stabilize it later, it still blew up the workshop.

Fortunately, the power of the magic sword was concentrated enough to cause only explosions and no fire.

After making such a big noise, people from the surrounding workshops also came out and gathered around to watch the fun.

Charles shrank his neck, turned around and wanted to slip away.

But as soon as he turned around, he saw Hephaestus standing behind him, looking at Ciel with a particularly serious look.

"Well, Lord God, this is an accident, I can explain it."

Hephaestus also saw the magic sword in Ciel's hand and said, "Did you blow up the workshop just because you were building this thing?"

Ciel handed the magic sword in his hand to Hephaestus and explained: "I was not familiar with making a magic sword for the first time, so I had an accident."

Hephaestus looked at the magic sword in her hand. Although the technique was a bit immature, it was indeed an excellent work.

Hephaestus looked at Ciel and realized that Ciel had only been learning forging for a month and could actually forge a magic sword. It seemed that she had underestimated this young man's talent and ability.

For some reason, Hephaestus's accusing words disappeared from her lips, and she said: "I understand, I will let you go this time, but don't do such random things next time!

Although you are capable, making a magic sword is not that easy. You still have a lot to learn!"

Suddenly, Hephaestus seemed to have thought of something. She looked at the bombed workshop and then turned to Ciel and said, "It looks like it will take some time to repair this situation. It just so happens that you are interested in temporarily working with the Familia."

Do the members form a team?

For some reasons, the relationship between that child and the other members of the family is not very good. I just want you to take care of him. And that child's skills in making magic swords are pretty good, and you may be able to learn something from him."

Ciel looked at Hephaestus and began to consider the feasibility of her suggestion.

The only person who fits Hephaestus's description is Welf Crozzo! Currently, the only person in the Crozzo family of forging nobles who can forge magic swords.

If Ciel remembers correctly, Welf is still only at LV1. Ciel forming a team with him is no different than raising a child.

Hephaestus said that it was normal for Welf to have a bad relationship with other members of the family.

Welf obviously has the ability to make a magic sword, but he refuses to do so. You must know that making a magic sword is the professional goal pursued by most blacksmiths.

That is equivalent to a wealthy man complaining in front of a poor person that carrying so much money is too cumbersome.

Others will not understand Welf's persistence, and will only think that it is his arrogance. Over time, his popularity will naturally not be good.

But after thinking about it, Ciel realized that teaming up with Welf did have many benefits.

Although Welf has not yet upgraded and obtained the [Forging] ability, his forging ability is not bad at all.

Moreover, his knowledge about making magic swords far surpassed Ciel's.

After weighing it, Ciel said to Hephaestus: "No problem, I have nothing to do until the workshop is repaired anyway. Since it is the work you have entrusted me, I will complete it well."

Hephaestus ordered a member of the family on the side to find Welf, and then took Ciel back to the headquarters.

After a while, Charles saw a red-haired young man wearing a Far Eastern kimono and a blue scarf tied around his neck walking in.

"Lord Hephaestus, are you looking for me?"

The young man, Welf Crozzo, said hello as soon as he came in.

Hephaestus pointed at Ciel and said: "This is Ciel, a new member of our family. Even though he has just joined, he is an absolutely powerful sect.

Aren't you looking for someone to form a team with? He is the most reliable companion."

Welf looked at Ciel sitting aside. It was not that he doubted the words of his Lord God, but that Ciel was too young.

There were too few geniuses like Sword Lady, and he estimated that Ciel was only at LV2 level at most.

But since even Hephaestus affirmed Ciel's strength, then he must be something special.

So he stretched out his hand to Charles and said: "My name is Welf, please take care of me next."

Charles stretched out his hand to shake his hand and said with a smile, "We take care of each other."
