40 Goibniu Familia!

The sky was clear blue, and the breeze was nice and comfortable.

The rising sun illuminated the streets of Orario, and the buildings were successively dyed red by the light.

Inside Twilight Manor, Upper Floor,

This is the conference room used to discuss various tactics and combat strategies.

At the moment, only the goddess Loki was present in the room. This was supposed to be a meeting place for the leaders of Loki Familia.

"It's almost been two weeks… The expedition should be over by now. They are coming back soon, right?" Loki looked at the tall tower of babel and muttered.

It was a rare moment for the playful goddess to calm down. Her expression didn't have any casualness, and she looked quite temperamental with her serious face.

She was thinking about her children who went on an expedition two weeks ago.

Expeditions are a regular activity for Loki Familia.

Every time the funds in the familia are insufficient or about to run out, the children of her familia will go deep into the dungeon for an expedition and try to get rich rewards.

Although behind such rewards, there are also massive risks.

But Loki believes in her children's potential and is relieved of their safety, especially the big three of her familia. She is very confident in their leadership.

However, there are also certain chances of death for other people. Loki felt very sad whenever she heard the news of her children's death.

'I hope no one dies in the expedition.' Loki shook her head and tried not to think this way.

'During the expedition, I can't see my beloved Ais-tan, can't get any comfort from my mommy elf, and can't even tease other girls of my familia. I'm so bored' Loki was feeling very bored during this time.

For the playful goddess, this kind of life is simply mental torture.

Fortunately, there is Sirius to tease at home.

Bringing him to 'Hostess of Fertility' for a drink was one of Loki's few pleasures during this time.

'Speaking of Sirius…' Loki noticed a blond-haired youth had walked out of the gate below her field of vision. She narrowed her eyes and thought of something exciting and chuckled.

Her smile looked playful and a bit wicked, and there was some inexplicable meaning hidden in the smile.

"When the expedition is over and they return and discover the changes in Sirius, it will definitely surprise them, right? Ah… I look forward to their wonderful reactions~"

Loki giggled and remembered the situation where she updated Sirius's status yesterday.

[Name:] Sirius Starr

[Level:] Lv1

[Abilities:]

STR: G202 -> SS1008

VIT: H198 -> SS1006

DEX: G252 -> SS1001

AGI: G248 -> SS1001

MAG: E466 -> SS1999

[Development Abilities:] None (Options for next level-up)

[Magic:]

"The Arrival of Silver Star!"

-Starfall (A/N: These are the extended magic. I will list them separately from the next update.)

"Stellar Magic"

"Earth Magic"

-Center of Earth

-Planet Befall

[Skill:]

"Stellar Affection"

"Heart Of Gaia"

…

In addition to five basic abilities that all exceed S-rank, there is four extended magic in the status.

After a period of research and study, Sirius has developed some of his magic.

Although Loki tried to overestimate his growth rate as much as possible, she still underestimated his talents.

'Looking back, it feels very unreal.' Loki was lost in her thoughts.

It has only been half a month, and Sirius had already broken through the limit of basic ability value required for level-up.

However, there is no chance to level up.

One is because of a lack of outstanding achievement required for the upgrade.

The upper-layer monsters pose no threat to him anymore. No matter how many, they are nothing but experience points for him.

Such a battle does not qualify as a great achievement. Therefore, Sirius had no chance to level up.

What adventurers need to level up is high-quality excelia gained only after doing something outstanding that even the gods admit.

Defeating stronger opponents and gaining enough high-quality excelia to overflow one's container is the condition for level up.

This is one of the reasons for not leveling up, and the other is that Sirius is far from reaching his utmost limit of level 1.

Looking at his status, the max limit of his five basic stats should be SSS1999.

His magic stats somehow verify this conjecture.

Therefore, his other four basic abilities should also have similar limits.

Both Loki and Sirius believe this and decided to raise the basic stats to the maximum before upgrading.

After all, a better foundation means a better future.

The red-haired goddess located on the upper floor of Twilight Manor sighed and chuckled in an expectant tone, "I have more and more expectations for the future~"

…

The location is between the division of North and Northwest street.

Sirius was walking deep into the alleyway with a backpack full of 'drop items' on his back.

The houses were arranged randomly, with small passageways and a terrible atmosphere.

It was very dark and humid. Sirius didn't like such an environment.

But in such a place, there is a smithing familia.

[Goibniu Familia]

Goibniu Familia is a smith-type Familia that handles the production and maintenance of various adventurer's equipment such as weapons and armors.

Even though they're not as large as the Hephaestus Familia, their skills are around the same level. They are a simple and resolute familia.

Most of them are commissioned to make custom weapons for affordable prices. Therefore they have many loyal customers, including the Loki Familia.

The Goibniu Familia Home is also known as the Three Hammer Forge.

Sirius came to the door and found that it was wide open.

"Excuse me, is anyone inside?"

After a bit of hesitation, he walked inside and shouted. This place matched his description of a smithing familia.

The room next to him was dark and warm. There were various weapons and equipment around him.

Some blacksmiths were working around the fire, using their tools to carve various intricate details in the metal. They were devoted to their work.

After hearing his call, someone immediately walked out of the room. He wiped his sweat with a towel and approached Sirius.

There was a scorching breath on his body and some scents of metals.

He looked like a blacksmith who spent a long time around the fire.

"Welcome to Goibniu Familia! Do you have any commission for us? We are experts in designing custom weapons for our customers!"

The man wiped his sweat and greeted him. He knew that the boy was a new customer.

He also hinted in his words that their Familia does not sell finished products.

"Well, I'm not here to buy weapons. I'm from Loki Familia and here to sell some drop items. Do you buy them?" Sirius also heard the hidden meaning and explained his purpose.

"Loki Familia, huh? Are you a newcomer?" The man looked at Sirius suspiciously. He had never seen the boy in Loki Familia.

Regarding the relationship, Goibniu Familia and Loki Familia are allied families that have established long-term cooperation.

Simply put, Goibniu Familia must prioritize building weapons for Loki Familia.

In the same way, Loki Familia must also prioritize selling treasured items from the dungeon to Goibniu Familia.

Both familia are in a mutually beneficial relationship.

This kind of relationship is also reflected in daily life.

For example, Goibniu Familia provides various discounts to Loki Familia when purchasing and repairing weapons, equipment, etc.

This is why Sirius chose to come here to sell his drop items.

After all, he is also responsible for maintaining a good relationship between the two familia as a member of Loki Familia.
