It's like using a cannon to kill a mosquito; it's pointless to kill monsters.
So Baili became curious: would going deeper into the dungeon allow them to level up even faster?
Do you get ten times the experience points directly from the 70th or 80th floor?
One hundred floors directly promoted to Commander?
Baili thought it was unlikely.
After all, in many games, the experience required to reach the maximum level by just one more level can be more than all the previous levels combined...
Furthermore, based on the setting—
The Zeus Familia and the Hera Familia were originally the two major factions located at the top of Orario.
The two clans still hold the record for the highest floor reached in the dungeon, with the 59th floor being the official record, although they have actually reached the 71st floor.
In short, adventurers at levels 7, 8, and 9 have been to level 71.
Even if that wasn't their limit, it was enough to prove the danger of the deeper floors.
at the same time……
"It also has greater value for exploration."
Bai Li believes that the dungeons in "DanMachi" will become a great leveling spot.
With that in mind, he quickly washed up and, after taking a bath with Rias and Mai, waited for Asia and Hestia to return so they could have dinner together.
Lunchtime ended quickly, and while enjoying dessert and fruit, Hestia stood up.
"Has everyone rested well? If so, let's go find Hephaestus. Don't forget to bring the items you picked up in the dungeon!"
Hestia seemed somewhat excited.
For her, it can be said that she has returned with a full harvest.
Because Hestia now had money, she could buy gifts for her old friend Hephaestus;
More importantly... Baili and his group will definitely become major clients!
"Let's go then."
Baili glanced outside.
The sun is shining brightly, and a warm breeze is blowing through the city streets of Orario.
The group then left the inn and headed toward the forge that Hestia had mentioned.
On the way, Hestia began to introduce the shops on both sides to Rias and Mai.
She used to be poor, so she went to every store to see which one had the best value for money.
It's a rather pitiful story, to be honest...
Asia did not stand with them.
The blonde girl ran to Baili's side and whispered...
“When Hestia and I went shopping together before, we talked about a topic related to fate.”
"Oh?"
"Miss Hestia seems quite interested in the power of destiny. I think she's a very hardworking person. What about Mr. Baili? Could he be a suitable candidate in your eyes?"
? ”
“That’s interesting… But Asia, you haven’t forgotten what Hestia said before, have you? She’s a goddess who came down from the heavens.”
"Of course I remember, but I feel that the gods of this world are not quite the same as I imagined."
Asia knew that Hestia was a god.
But she didn't have that special feeling of being treated like a deity.
Instead, Hestia became a good friend from another world with whom he could get along well.
"Actually, she's quite interested too."
"Really? That's quite unexpected..."
Even gods want to embark on their destiny?
Looking ahead from a hundred miles away.
The Blue Ribbon Goddess is introducing a general merchandise store to Rias and Mai, and is currently complaining in a low voice that the store's items are extremely expensive, costing her a day's wages.
It's clear that Hestia's life in Orario is far from smooth sailing...
"If she's willing, I'd like to give it a try."
Baili had not yet considered the possibility of a god embarking on a destiny.
In addition-
If Hestia were to perish in the mortal realm and return to the heavens, how would she, with her divine powers, utilize the power of chaos?
These speculations piqued Baili's interest.
How about we hold a ceremony for the Blue Ribbon Goddess tonight?
"It's right ahead!"
Hestia's voice came from ahead.
She beckoned everyone to follow her.
Baili and Asia exchanged a glance, temporarily stopping their previous conversation, and quickened their pace to catch up.
After passing through bustling streets and busy markets, the group arrived at their destination along the cobblestone path.
Hestia pointed to the shop on the left.
"This is it! Hephaestus's shop!"
She was the first to walk over and rudely pushed the door open.
boom! !
"Excuse me! Excuse me!!"
Hestia walked into the house with a nonchalant air.
After Baili and the boys went inside, they saw a dazzling array of weapons and merchandise.
Long spear, short sword, shield and axe, katana, dual swords, bow and arrow...
Will there be insect glaives and guns?
It doesn't seem wrong for adventurers in Orario to call themselves monster hunters.
However, the black dragon in this world can be considered a final boss.
A powerful monster that no ordinary adventurer (hunter) can defeat.
Even the legendary heroes couldn't kill it; they only had one eye gouged out.
Then another question arises.
How many experience points will the Black Dragon in the DanMachi world give?
From this perspective, there are quite a few elements to explore in "DanMachi".
"Is nobody home? Is anyone there? It's Hestia! Hephaestus! Are you there?"
Hestia stood at the counter shouting.
After a while, a person with slightly disheveled hair came out from the inner room.
She had short red hair, wore an eye patch over her right eye, and was dressed in a white top, black trousers, and black over-the-knee high-heeled boots.
She yawned lazily and scanned the scene, finally fixing her gaze on Hestia.
"What's wrong with you... Hestia, I don't have any money to lend you."
"Why are you so sure I'm here to borrow money?!"
"Didn't you get fined the other day for buying fried dumplings, potato balls, and handmade dolls from someone else's territory?"
"No, not at all. How could a small business attract the attention of the Chamber of Commerce?"
"To put it bluntly, it means the poor aren't getting any attention?"
"Could you please not be so realistic..."
"Well... what would you like to drink first? I have some food here."
Hephaestus was somewhat sarcastic towards Hestia, but she still asked her questions gently while preparing drinks and snacks.
Hestia stopped her friend, who was about to be entertained, and said smugly with her hands on her hips.
"Don't worry about that now, I've brought you a big client today!"
"Big clients? These guests? I thought they came with you to collect debts."
"So don't think of me as the kind of guy who owes money and doesn't pay it back!"
Hearing Hestia's words, Hephaestus composed herself and looked at Baili and his companions with seriousness.
“My apologies for my rudeness earlier. I am Hephaestus, the owner of this weapons shop.”
“Excuse me, we heard from Miss Hestia that Miss Hephaestus possesses the finest forging techniques in Orario, so we would like to have weapons crafted here.”
Asia stepped forward.
Rias and Mai also took out the items they had obtained from the dungeon earlier from their pockets.
Baili, who was behind, sat down on a chair.
“Miss Hephaestus, money is not a problem.”
"People from large merchant guilds or powerful clans..."
Hearing Baili say this, Hephaestus, who was looking at him, began to murmur softly.
However, Hephaestus's attention was quickly drawn to the items falling from the girls' hands.
She led the three of them to the side of the counter.
