The Ultimate Lich King

"A staff tailor-made for you?"

Ye Yu walked out of Hephaestus' shop while muttering to himself.

As if not wanting outsiders to see her forging process, Hephaestus politely invited Ye Yu out.

But this is a weapon made for me, right? In the end, as the buyer and customer, I didn’t even show it?

To be honest, although Hephaestus is the God of Craftsmen in the heavens, Ye Yu is still very doubtful about whether the other party can help him build a useful weapon.

After all, his power is too overbearing. Except for the weapons used by real gods, I am afraid that ordinary weapons will still end up in the same shattering.

The long sword that Hephaestus took out at that time was already an incredible weapon. It must be a masterpiece if it can be displayed in that place. It will definitely not be better than the works displayed in the window of that store. It's not much different, but it's a pity that the weapon was still easily turned into powder by Ye Yu.

Just like what Hephaestus said, mortal weapons are just mortal weapons after all, and they cannot be compared with the weapons used by real gods.

How can mortal weapons withstand the power of gods?

But if you deliberately control your own power, but in order to use weapons, you limit your own strength, wouldn't it be worth the loss?

For a mage, isn't the magic staff that is so handy that he can fully utilize his strength? On the contrary, using the staff will limit the output of one's own magic power, and then the staff will have no meaning at all.

Ye Yu was also looking forward to it, hoping that Hephaestus could really create a weapon that could unleash her own power, and he had been looking forward to this for two whole days.

Waking up alone as always, the days without Hestia were harder than Ye Yu imagined.

With no intention of going to the dungeon, Ye Yu walked casually along the street, turned several corners with skillful movements, and came to West Street, where a familiar store appeared in front of him.

Naturally, the wine shop is not open yet, but a few customers can be seen in the outdoor cafe in front. The cute orcish clerk with cat ears and tail was working, but he didn't see the familiar girl.

Do you work in a store?

While Ye Yu was thinking about whether to go and say hello, a call rang out.

"Hey——, wait a minute, that black-haired head over there——!"

It's a slightly rude name, but the voice is very cute and won't offend anyone. Ye Yu turned his head in the direction of the sound and saw that in front of the 'Plenty Hostess' shop, a cat girl with cat ears and a thin tail waved her hand widely.

Ye Yu had an impression of her. Like the elves he saw at that time, she was a colleague of Xi'er's workplace.

"Gui'an, meow. I'm sorry for calling you suddenly, meow."

"Ah, no, do you have anything to ask me about?"

The cat girl bowed gently in front of Ye Yu, and Ye Yu also nodded in greeting.

The clerk saluted as if she had been professionally trained and got to the point without saying a word.

"I have something annoying to ask of you, meow. Here, I'll give you this."

"The black-haired guy is Xi'er's boyfriend, meow. So I want to ask you to leave this to that daredevil meow."

The thing she handed to Ye Yu was a purse for holding money, which had become common recently.

It is a bag-shaped ‘frog mouth wallet’ with a bead buckle. A rare emblem is implicitly engraved on it, indicating that it is a product of a certain commercial 'family'. It is a small and cute purple money bag.

At first glance, it looks like something used by girls, but I gave it to Xi'er... So what exactly is the situation, where is Xi'er, and what happened?

"Aniya, your explanation is not sufficient. Mr. Ye Yu is also very troubled."

This time, the elf shop assistant appeared. She walked over from the outdoor cafe on the side and came to the two of them.

I have to say that this name with the suffix "Mr." sounds really touching, much better than the black-haired head.

No matter what, it’s like remembering your name, right?

"Lyu is really stupid, nya. Xi'er was too lazy to go to the festival without looking at the store but forgot to bring her wallet, so I hope you give her the wallet. It goes without saying that people know about this kind of thing, nya. Isn't it, nya, a black-haired head? "

"That's what happened. I'm sorry for not explaining it clearly to you."

"Looks like this. Xi'er went to see the festival?"

Ye Yu showed a somewhat funny expression. It seemed like he had learned about the monster festival not long ago.

"That's right, so can I ask you to help me? Aniya and I, as well as other employees, have to prepare to open the store, and we have nothing to do. I know that you have to go to the dungeon next, and I feel a little sorry, but..."

"It doesn't matter to me. In fact, I just came back from the dungeon."

Has this time already come back? Ye Yu shrugged, making the elf girl slightly stunned, but the latter quickly reacted.

"In that case, it shouldn't be a problem for you to trouble me, right?"

"That's natural. It just so happens that I don't have anything to do. But is it really okay to just let the girl be lazy and go out to play?"

Ye Yu said something funny while putting Xier's wallet into his pocket.

"It's a bit of a misnomer to say we're lazy. We live here thanks to good intentions, and our situation is different from Xi'er's."

The elf girl named Lyu said this and explained. Xi'er seems to be different from them who live and work in the store. They don't have to come to work every day. Going to the festival this time is also a holiday approved by the store owner.

"The cats wanted to see meow. But my mother refused to do so. Xi'er said she would buy gifts and saluted with a smile on her face before leaving... She actually left her wallet in the store. It's really... That’s too bad, meow. Sheer is just so confused, meow.”

"Aniya, I don't think you are qualified to talk about her."

The cat girl looked at Ye Yu and said with resentment, but was soon scolded by the elf girl.

"The East Street leading to the arena should already be crowded. You can go there first. Just follow the crowd and you will reach the venue naturally."

"Xie'er just went out, you can definitely catch up with Meow now."

"I see."

Ye Yu nodded and stared at the urban center where skyscrapers stood and the direction of East Street extending far behind it.

Monster Festival...what kind of event will it be?

Anyway, there happened to be nothing to do, so I might as well go take a look. With this in mind, Ye Yu set off from the front of the tavern.
