Chapter 129: So This is the Reason You Asked Me on a Date? The Compensation Funds Have Arrived

"." Pulling a hidden prize, for Bustan... this was absolutely an unprecedented experience, especially after getting confirmation from Liam.

The young man's originally normal expression instantly became as if he had eaten shit.

The main reason he could be here, chatting idly with Eina, was his own strength, which in Orario... also held some status.

A Level 2 adventurer.

But this identity, in the face of Liam, who had "broken the world record" and "swept the Apollo Familia."

Was like a stray dog on the roadside. If Liam wished, he could probably kick him to death. And he had just offended this plague god!

He had just returned to Orario last night.

His companions had specifically reminded him that offending other adventurers was fine.

But if he encountered a member of the Hestia Familia, it was best not to provoke them and to stay far away, to avoid bringing trouble to his entire Familia.

To be able to bet one's entire fortune on the Hestia Familia's victory…

And the final result was as such. Whether Liam was involved in the planning, this point could only be said to be a matter of opinion.

The morning air was cool.

Yet Bustan felt himself drenched in sweat. Facing Liam's interested smile, he seemed to see his own great-grandmother, who had been an adventurer…

"."

"I'm sorry, it was I who was presumptuous."

Although he knew that at the Adventurer's Guild, Liam would not make a move no matter what, but if his own Familia was implicated.

He wouldn't even need Liam.

The Familia captain could flay him alive!

The sofa, which originally felt very soft, instantly turned into an iron pot. The young adventurer shot up and decisively bowed.

"I will absolutely not disturb Miss Eina again."

"I'm sorry."

"."

"Actually, I still prefer your unruly look."

Watching Bustan's departing figure, regarding this sudden interlude, Liam just shrugged his shoulders and surveyed the crowd.

The adventurers who were originally waiting to watch the show.

Instantly turned their heads as if avoiding a snake or scorpion, not wanting to get involved in this matter.

It was also the attitude displayed by all the adventurers present that made the originally stern-faced Eina unable to hold back a chuckle.

"Um..."

"Am I that scary?"

He didn't feel like a shield. He had come to find Eina because he had business to handle. It was just that even the person involved had laughed out loud.

It was inevitably a bit ungracious.

The corner of Liam's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly as he cast his gaze towards the half-elf young lady's beautiful face.

"Hmm…"

Eina didn't answer directly, just sized up Liam seriously, finally giving her evaluation, "I don't think there's any difference from before."

"It's just what other adventurers think…"

"That, I'm really not particularly sure about."

The War Game between the Apollo Familia and the Hestia Familia, she hadn't gone to observe it. The main reason was that she couldn't bear to.

It wasn't until Misha brought her the good news.

Just as she arrived at the Adventurer's Guild to clock in for work, she then heard... the even more explosive news about the War Game circulating among the adventurers.

"The War Game with the Apollo Familia was very likely orchestrated by Liam."

After careful investigation.

And especially knowing Liam's character, Eina felt this matter wasn't groundless; it was very likely he had done it.

"It's probably..."

"The news that you were the biggest winner in the War Game betting, that's the final result, right?"

"."

When he went to the casino last night, Liam had already anticipated this situation. In a place where all sorts of people gathered, cashing in his winnings directly.

It was just that the War Game was already settled.

With the Apollo Familia disbanded and its god expelled from Orario, even if they really knew the truth, they couldn't make any changes.

Moreover…

History is written by the victors!

And returning to the topic, she hadn't seen Liam for some time. Could it be that he had come to find her?

Eina couldn't help but feel some anticipation. Looking at the handsome young man with his upright figure before her, she had no intention of continuing to tease this guy.

"So."

"Captain Liam, with your busy schedule, may I ask what arrangements you have for coming to find me?"

"I wanted to ask if Miss Eina is free."

Taking a seat on the adjacent sofa, looking at the steaming black tea placed before him, Liam smiled faintly and proactively stated his purpose.

Getting straight to the point was a bit hard to start.

"It depends on what needs to be handled."

The experience of their first date had left Eina with a bit of a psychological scar. What kind of decent person takes a girl to browse weapon shops as a guide... on a date?

She had few holidays this month.

If it was a matter that required her help, and not just a simple date, she really had to consider whether to use up her vacation day.

Thanks to the excellent matching mechanism.

Looking at the half-elf young lady whose anti-Gank ability was maxed out, Liam hesitated for a moment, but still took the initiative to say, "I want to ask about something."

"Hmm?"

The matter did not exceed her expectations. The smile on Eina's delicate face was gradually covered by helplessness. She put down her teacup.

And listened carefully.

"Go on."

"Regarding the Goibniu Familia, do you know of them?"

"Of course."

Eina nodded decisively. This was also information that an Adventurer's Guild employee had to master. It was just that she was unavoidably curious about Liam's inquiry.

She didn't rush to ask.

And through Eina's introduction, Liam gradually came to understand the Goibniu Familia, which had very little screen time in the original work.

Both were weapon suppliers. Hephaestus's weapon shop mainly supplied the low and mid-tier adventurers of Orario.

The weapons produced were of stable quality, and the prices were relatively suitable.

In contrast, the Goibniu Familia focused on the high-end market, undertaking private custom weapon orders. The prices, of course, were not cheap.

The Loki, Freya, and Ganesha Familias…

Were basically regular customers of the Goibniu Familia.

After explaining these things, Eina looked at Liam, her eyes filled with undisguised curiosity, "Why the sudden interest in the Goibniu Familia?"

"Mainly, the durability of normal weapons decreases and can't support the high-intensity combat of a Familia expedition."

"So I was thinking of finding the Goibniu Familia to forge some more special weapons." Liam didn't hide his true thoughts.

"Hmm…"

"First, you have to consider the price." Eina thought carefully, finally thinking of the rumor that Liam had won two hundred million from the casino.

Even for a private custom order, it should be enough.

But immediately, she pointed out the most crucial problem, "The Goibniu Familia has few members. If you really want to forge a weapon."

"You also need to make an appointment in advance."

"After all, in the high-end weapon market, only their products are worthy of the price."

Currently, exploring the Dungeon with two Second-Grade armaments was definitely sufficient. Liam wasn't in a great hurry to succeed.

It was just the means of making an appointment…

He looked at Eina, who was full of confidence, her smile serene.

"Um..."

"How can I make an appointment?"

"For a normal appointment, you might have to wait half a year." Also anticipating that Liam would ask this question, Eina explained.

She seemed to want to see other emotions on Liam's face. It was just that.

She didn't get her wish; there was no other emotional fluctuation on the young man. She blinked her sly eyes and couldn't help but ask, "Are you willing to wait?"

"."

Half a year.

At the current rate of his Sword Soul class level's improvement, he could probably directly second-awaken.

But the market environment was what it was. There was no reason for Goibniu to delay the weapon orders of other Familias for an ordinary customer like him.

Liam was just about to shake his head.

But he saw the teasing in the half-elf young lady's smiling face.

"If it's an internal referral, it should be much faster to handle." Eina propped her cheek on her left hand and mentioned casually.

Her relationship with the Loki Familia... was quite good overall.

Mainly, Lord Loki often asked her to find good-flavored alcoholic beverages. If she made a request for an internal referral spot.

It was basically not a problem.

Now that she had said this much, anyone who wasn't a fool could understand.

Looking at the almost omnipotent Eina, Liam's smile was exceptionally bright, "My request might be a bit presumptuous, but I still hope Miss Eina."

"Can help me with an internal recommendation…"

"Hmm?"

The half-elf didn't refuse, just looked at him with great interest.

Also realizing that getting something for nothing was a bad thing, Liam immediately said, "After I finish this Familia expedition and return to Orario."

"I'll treat you to a meal!"

"It's a deal."

Eina clapped her hands lightly, but when looking at Liam, she added again, "It's a solo treat, okay? It can't be a celebration banquet."

"No problem."

Wasn't this also a kind of date?

Liam didn't refuse. His current weapon needs weren't that high, but if he could get a custom order in advance just by treating her to a meal.

Getting the weapon directly sorted out was also a result he wanted to see.

Currently… His stats were probably in place, but his weapon amplification was a bit low?

Leaving the Adventurer's Guild, Liam unexpectedly had free time for the rest of the day. No need for high-intensity Dungeon exploration.

A rare moment of leisure, to experience the local customs of this world…

For him, it was also a good choice. As for the reputation among adventurers, he really wasn't at the point of caring too much.

Cherish one's reputation.

But the premise was to have it!

Liam walked on the streets of Orario, his direction completely opposite to the adventurers heading to Babel and deep into the Dungeon.

Feeling the warm sunlight splashing on his body.

Walking at a faster pace, one would inevitably miss the scenery on the side of the road. But to truly enjoy life, in this Orario full of disputes.

The prerequisite was to have the strength for self-preservation.

"Tomorrow's Familia expedition shouldn't be too dangerous."

Wandering aimlessly, it was just that when he passed a flower shop, Liam's steps couldn't help but pause. He had met Anna a total of three times.

And the bouquet she had gifted him last night had left a deep impression on him.

A large part of the reason was her being monitored by local ruffians. And seeing the familiar face of the young woman currently tending to the flower shop.

One could only say his worries were a bit superfluous.

And also realizing Liam's arrival, Anna still maintained her enthusiasm, proactively greeting him, "Good morning, Mr. Liam."

"You too."

"Are you preparing for a Dungeon exploration?" Tending to her own business, the young woman, finally free, turned to greet him.

Her clear, peach-blossom-like eyes, deep within, held an undisguised admiration.

"No."

"Just finished this period of Dungeon exploration. I have to give myself a break."

While talking, Liam used his peripheral vision to observe the surroundings, not finding those ruffians who were monitoring Anna.

He didn't continue the previous topic.

It was just that without a guide, wanting to tour Orario would be very aimless.

He asked with a smile, "I'd like to ask, in Orario... are there any more fun places? I can take a look around since I'm resting today."

"Hmm?"

"The Entertainment District?"

She gave an answer almost without thinking. But after saying it, noticing Liam's strange gaze, Anna was a bit stunned.

But realizing her statement was a bit explosive.

A blush gradually covered the young woman's face. She shyly added, "I heard…"

"Many adventurers who finish exploring the Dungeon will choose to go to the Entertainment District to relax. And... I'm very sorry, Mr. Liam."

After apologizing, she didn't know how to face Liam.

Even the previous question was pushed to the back of Anna's mind. She looked around awkwardly, finally saying, "Um... I have to go deliver flowers first."

"It's only human."

"."

One could only say that the reputation of Orario's adventurers had always been so.

But at the mention of the Entertainment District, Liam's mind couldn't help but conjure the face of the fox-girl, Haruhime. The world line had changed.

Bell had joined the Freya Familia.

Even if he gained freedom, it was limited. Naturally, it was impossible for him to have contact with the Entertainment District.

Then if there were no accidents, at this time, Haruhime should still be imprisoned within the Ishtar Familia. Should he change it?

This was something Liam had to consider.

Because of his own transmigration, the story line had changed, and various things had produced a butterfly effect.

And the Magic Mallet skill that the burned fox-girl Haruhime possessed, in the DanMachi world, could be said to be the most game-breaking magic skill.

With his current strength, could he slightly correct the world line?

He didn't continue to linger at the flower shop. Preparing to get up and return to the Familia home, the people from the casino would be delivering over two hundred million Valis today.

After securing these assets first, Liam could then explore the Dungeon with peace of mind.

"The road ahead... is long and arduous."

"."

Currently, the Familia's development could be temporarily put on hold. Liam had no intention of expanding the numbers and thereby lowering the overall quality of the Familia members.

Haruhime from the Ishtar Familia.

Could be placed on the backup list. If there was a chance, he might be able to handle it.

Consider it passing a relatively limited morning. The person in charge of the Grand Casino did not disappoint him. As several carriages stopped at the manor.

Escorting them was the Ganesha Familia guard, who maintained the city's peace.

The use of these funds had already been allocated. Liam didn't make them wait long. It was still the middle-aged man who had received him last night.

Just as he opened the main gate.

The middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses proactively walked towards Liam, his attitude this time exceptionally warm, "Mr. Liam."

"This is the payout for the bet."

"The total is 220 million Valis. The amount of Valis in each box has been certified by the Adventurer's Guild. You can count it carefully."

"Alright."

"Also, my master has asked me to invite you, if you have free time, you can visit the Grand Casino in the bustling district."
