Shirou Emiya doesn't want to work overtime

"Could it be that, could it be that, Hephaestus, you reserved it for me?"

With an extremely excited expression, Hestia looked at Hephaestus with surprise on her face.

"I am so touched, Hephaestus, you are indeed my best friend!!!"

As she said that, Hestia opened her arms and jumped towards Hephaestus.

Looking at Hestia leaping over with tears streaming down her face, Hephaestus suddenly stretched out her hand to block Hestia.

Then, as if she was too embarrassed to see him, she covered her face with one hand.

"No, you mentally retarded goddess!"

"Heh! That's right!"

Hestia, whose expression had eased, also began to use her brain cells to think.

"I know--!"

Before Hephaestus could explain, Hestia clapped her hands suddenly, as if she had thought of something again.

"Hephaestus, as the goddess of forging, you actually don't have much interest in adventurers who explore the dungeon. Rather than letting a strong person become a member of your family, you hope that a blacksmith can join your family, so you didn't let Shirou Emiya become a member of your family————"

Hestia's eyes radiated golden light, and she seemed to be very sure of her reasoning.

However, Hephaestus sighed slightly.

"Although according to the information you got, it does make sense, but none of the reasoning is correct."

"Hey!"

"In fact, I can't accept the blood of God, accept the gift!"

Shirou Emiya also explained.

"How can I not accept the blood of God!"

Hestia's face was full of disbelief.

"That's true, but I didn't expect that he actually had the strength to go directly to the dungeon——"

For this world, at this stage, there is almost no existence of exploring the dungeon without accepting the gift of God.

Of course, it does not mean that there are no people in this world who can fight against the monsters in the dungeon without the gift.

Before the gods came, facing this bottomless dungeon, humans did not know how long they fought, and countless heroes emerged during this period.

It is precisely because of the continuous dedication of those ancient heroes that the endless monsters in the dungeon did not devour the entire world.

"Wait, doesn't that mean-"

At this moment, Hestia seemed to have thought about something, and didn't know what expression to use to look at Shirou Emiya.

"Emiya, except for me and Hestia, no one should know that you can't accept the blood of God!"

Hephaestus seemed to know what Hestia wanted to say, and asked Shirou Emiya.

Shirou Emiya thought about it and nodded.

"Remember, from now on, if a god asks you why you don't join the clan, don't answer that you can't accept the blood of the gods."

"Why?"

"Because you will be taken away as a guinea pig, idiot!"

Hestia put her hands on her hips and answered the question in Shirou Emiya's heart.

"You should know that the blood of the gods is almost the greatest authority in the world. It is impossible for someone who is not affected by the blood of the gods to happen, but now it has happened to you. There must be many gods who want to explore your secrets!"

"Hephaestus, why didn't you remind him at the beginning!"

"I thought he would only become a blacksmith and live in Orario, but I never thought that he would rush to the dungeon on the first day!"

Hephaestus could only shake her head helplessly. If Shirou Emiya had not become an adventurer, but was just an unknown forger, such a thing would naturally not happen.

Even if the weapons forged by Shirou Emiya were famous in Orario, no god would explore Shirou Emiya's secrets.

Because in terms of forging, Hephaestus is the top existence in the whole of Orario.

Moreover, at that time, Hephaestus would also give some protection to Shirou Emiya accordingly.

But she never thought that Shirou Emiya would choose to rush to the dungeon directly after talking with her.

"I know, thank you-"

Shirou Emiya nodded affirmatively. Perhaps because of Hephaestus's kindness, Shirou Emiya did not have any precautions in this regard.

It is better to say that it is because the world he had experienced before did not care about the secrets hidden in him.

Of course, that is also because the people Shirou Emiya met have absolute confidence in their own strength, and the abilities Shirou Emiya displayed are also within the scope of the rules they defined.

Whether it is the Pojun Academy with various superpowers or the Butei that maintains social stability, Shirou Emiya did not exceed the limits they set, and it was not enough to attract their absolute attention.

At Pojun Academy, it was because he defeated seven academies in succession and defeated Edwards head-on that he really attracted the attention of the authorities.

In Tokyo Butei High School, even if Shirou Emiya defeated a vampire who had lived for hundreds of years, it would only attract a small part of the government's attention.

If Shirou Emiya could accept the blood of God and become a member of Hephaestus or Hestia's family, then no god would want to explore Shirou Emiya's secrets.

Because for those gods, this is a matter of course. They will only be surprised by Emiya Shirou and will not have other thoughts.

After all, even adventurers have become a proper name for only those who have received the gift.

It is enough to see how surprised the gods were by the appearance of a man like Emiya Shirou who was able to explore the dungeon without any gift.

It can be said that it makes those gods who mainly focus on their own entertainment feel indescribable interest.

You must know that people like this have not appeared in the sight of God for a long, long, long time.

Almost all the gods involuntarily became interested in the adventurer named [Emiya Shirou].

It doesn't mean that those gods necessarily want Emiya Shirou to join their Familia.

Among the many gods, there are naturally many gods like Hephaestus whose main business is forging rather than exploring dungeons.

If Shirou Emiya didn't have that outstanding forging ability, Hephaestus would not have invited him even if he knew he had such strength.

Of course, if Emiya Shirou applied to join her family, Hephaestus would not refuse.

However, among these gods, there was one who felt deep disgust for Emiya Shirou.

Chapter 434 The limits that can be explored

"Bang--!"

Blood once again splashed from in front of Shirou Emiya. The skull holding the shield and sword was split open by Shirou Emiya's sword, turned into ashes and disappeared into the air.

Only crystals and some broken bones were left.

In addition to having a certain chance of dropping magic crystals that can be exchanged for money, monsters in the dungeon will also drop some materials closely related to themselves.

It can be said that it is becoming more and more like a game.

It's a pity that for Shirou Emiya, he cannot gain so-called experience from these monsters like those who have received gifts, and the so-called experience gained can improve his own abilities or achieve great achievements.

Every time he makes progress, he can only rely on himself, constantly tempering himself through countless battles and countless exercises.

"We're not far from the eighteenth security floor!"

Emiya Shirou picked up the magic crystals and debris on the ground, threw them into his Yakasa, and said calmly.

After dozens of days of exploration, Emiya Shirou finally arrived at the seventeenth floor.

Ever since he suffered an unimaginable siege on the tenth floor, Shirou Emiya was just like ordinary adventurers when he went down to the dungeon again. The monsters he encountered became extremely normal in terms of quantity and quality. .

It was as if a vicious bug had appeared in the dungeon, and Shirou Emiya, who had entered the dungeon for the first time, had accidentally encountered that situation.

This vicious BUG will be fixed later.

However, this is not a game, and the dungeon is not even a dead thing, but a living existence.

Shirou Emiya also asked Hephaestus, and she also said that she didn't know what the situation was, and just asked Shirou Emiya to pay more attention.

The most taboo thing for adventurers is pride and complacency. I don’t know how many adventurers started to become impetuous just because they got a little fame, and eventually died in the dungeon.

"Go back first, otherwise we won't be able to get out of the dungeon until late at night."

Emiya Shirou pulled the bow string in his hand, and countless sword arrows exploded at this moment, hitting the body with scarlet hair like a lion in front of him with extremely precision.

They fell to the ground without a look in their eyes.

One by one, Emiya Shirou collected the materials and magic crystals on the ground and put them into the Yikasa.

Although Shana's Yikasa has the function of storing items, it is not as convenient as imagined.

Emiya Shirou would also project some of the weapons he frequently used and place them in the Yikasa.

But under normal circumstances, he will only project a few weapons that he often uses. In most battles, he still uses projection to use various weapons.

As a storage item, Yeli is not like some strange space props.

The weight of all items placed in the night hat will be added to this windbreaker.

And the interior is like a condensed warehouse, where everything will be piled together.

You can't just think about what you can take out.

When Emiya Shirou took out the weapon from inside, he still had to look for the weapon he needed to use now.

If there are too many weapons, it will inevitably take a certain amount of time to find the items you need.

As for food, it cannot be placed inside.

After all, Yeli's storage space is more like something enclosing items, rather than a wide space.

Putting in more items will squeeze out space for weapons.

Put the food in, and when Emiya Shirou took it out, it had basically been squeezed into crumbs and distributed inside the Yagasa.

Basically, soft items cannot be placed in the night hat.

Break through from the first floor to the sixteenth floor.

Emiya Shirou didn't know how many monsters he had killed that emerged from the dungeon.

Even with the holy remains, the breathing method continued to reduce his own physical consumption, facing thousands of different monsters, plus dozens of hours of highly concentrated battles.

Emiya Shirou will also get tired.

There are very few places to rest in the entire underground city.

Maybe a monster will appear behind you and attack you in the next second.

When you go to the dungeon, you need to calculate not only how much energy you need to consume to reach which floor, but also how much energy you need to save when you return to the ground.

During this period of time, Shirou Emiya has not formed a team, but has reached the 16th floor alone.

It is precisely because Shirou Emiya did not form a team that all the materials and magic crystals need to be picked up by Shirou Emiya alone.

It can be said that Shirou Emiya spent the longest time in the dungeon collecting these materials and magic crystals.

It is almost twice the time Shirou Emiya spent killing those monsters.

Although he only needs a small amount of money to solve his own food and clothing.

But the materials on Hephaestus's side are not for Shirou Emiya to use at will, and they all need money to buy.

As a blacksmith, in addition to the simplest forging skills, there is also the control of materials.

Only by knowing what materials are suitable for what items can you forge a weapon that meets your wishes.

So the materials that Shirou Emiya used to forge at Hephaestus's place were basically the items that Shirou Emiya bought from various places and spawned in the dungeon.

This was very expensive.

The basic materials were okay, like the steel in Hephaestus's workshop, which could be said to be the best of the best.

The weapons that Shirou Emiya forged and sold were basically handed over to Hephaestus.

After all, although the weapons Shirou Emiya forged were practical, he himself was not famous for forging, and only a few weapons were sold in more than ten days.

Shirou Emiya came to the dungeon in the morning, and when he came to the sixteenth floor, it was already afternoon outside.

Now it was basically night when he returned. If he delayed for a while, Shirou Emiya could only eat a hot meal in the middle of the night.

You have to know that in the middle of the night, [The Mistress of Fertility] was already planning to make samples, but Shirou Emiya came here.
