Kapitel 120: Chapter 120 – Finn smiled bitterly
In an afternoon, Aston crafted another enchanted magic sword, this time imbuing it with Riveria's another attack magic, Vass Windheim. As before, the magic sword was named after the magic itself.
Aston also meticulously crafted suitable scabbards for these two magic swords because it would be challenging for Riveria to carry them back otherwise. After all, one sword was radiating intense cold, and the other, fierce heat.
After finishing these magic swords and their scabbards, both of them left the forge to return to their respective Familias.
"These are amazing, almost as powerful as my Urga," Tiona said, holding the Laevateinn Sword, visibly impressed.
"Indeed, but utilizing these two magic swords requires a substantial amount of magic power. With my magic power, I could probably use it about ten times," Tione mused, holding the Fimbulvetr magic sword.
"If it were a Level 3 or 4 adventurer, they could probably use it three to five times," Tiona added, nodding.
"That's already quite impressive," Finn interjected. "After all, each of these magic swords can unleash the power of Riveria's attack magic without any chanting."
Despite Tione's and Tiona's remarks, Finn didn't feel any disappointment. Instead, he was quite content. After all, these were magic swords, capable of using magic instantly without the need for chanting. This meant they could instantaneously unleash Riveria's magic, making these swords extremely effective at crucial moments.
"Finn, for the remaining three magic swords, let's continue to craft Fimbulvetr and Laevateinn Sword. For the last one, I'd like to craft a necklace and enchant it with Shilheim," Riveria suggested.
"That's a good idea," Finn agreed. "Currently, we only have one defensive necklace. When our Familia has more financial resources, we can ask Aston to craft another defensive necklace."
"Six indestructible magic swords are enough. Having too many could be detrimental to the Familia," Gareth added. "We shouldn't let our members become dependent on magic swords. It might dull their fighting spirit."
"Ah, that's true. Although indestructible magic swords are powerful, we can't have too many," Finn agreed.
"Alright, I'll ask Aston to make one more then. As for the payment, we'll settle it next time," Riveria nodded in agreement.
"Um, isn't that a bit improper?" Finn hesitated upon hearing Riveria's words.
"Don't worry, Aston won't mind," Riveria reassured, shaking her head confidently.
Her assurance made everyone feel a bit odd. She seemed overly confident.
"Hey, Tione, doesn't Riveria seem a bit off?" Tiona quietly whispered to Tione after moving to a more private area.
"Um, her confidence... it reminds me of you before," Tione remarked thoughtfully.
"Before?"
"When you first won Aston's heart," Tione explained, nodding.
"Really? But we're talking about Riveria here."
"It's possible. Aston's aura is quite attractive to elves, and Riveria is probably no exception."
"Ah, this is going to be interesting!"
The sisters' private conversation remained unheard. If Riveria knew that Tione and Tiona were speculating about her in secret, she would definitely teach them a lesson about a mother's authority. (T/N: Loki calls her a mother.)
However, Riveria was oblivious to this.
At the moment, she was asking Finn about Loki's whereabouts. After getting the information, she said, "I'll accompany Loki to the Hestia Familia to discuss matters tonight."
After saying this, Riveria headed out to meet Loki.
"What? Going to the Hestia Familia?"
"I want to go too," Tiona said, her eyes shining with excitement as she followed Riveria out.
"Wait, I'm coming too."
Ais: "I'll go too."
Suddenly, the office was left with only Finn, Gareth, and Bete – the three rugged men.
The men looked at each other, and Finn couldn't help but smile wryly.
"It seems the alliance was a good idea. Otherwise, Aston might have tempted all of the first-class adventurers from the Loki Familia."
Grace silently held his forehead.
Was Riveria, usually so composed, also charmed by that guy? Does his aura really attract elves that much? Life is tough.
Bete, feeling a bit bitter, thought to himself, "Tch!" If it were someone else attracting Ais, he would have been furious, but since it's Aston, he's annoyed but doesn't say much.
The last time he saw Aston, he sensed a dangerous aura from him, just like the one he feels from Ottar and the captain. Moreover, Aston had single-handedly defeated the Iv.5 level Gulliver brothers. This means Aston's strength is far beyond Iv.5, reaching the same level as Ottar and the captain. Bete may be proud and look down on the weak, but he respects the strong.

"Wow!" In the Hestia Familia residence, Hestia was amazed as she looked at the passbook in her hands, exclaiming repeatedly. She never imagined Aston could earn so much valis in a day – a whole eight billion! Hestia Familia's savings had never crossed one billion since its establishment, and here Aston had earned eight billion in a day. After her initial shock, Hestia excitedly rubbed the passbook against her face, unable to let go.
"Magic swords are that helpful?!" She wondered aloud. "So much valis."
"It's because they are special magic swords made by Aston that don't wear out. That's why they are expensive," Hestia answered herself without looking up, still caressing the passbook.
"Really? Where's Aston now?" Eina was surprised.
"He said Hephaestus and the others are coming over for dinner, so he's cooking."
"Wow, Aston can cook too?"
"Yeah, you haven't tried Aston's cooking yet, have you? You're in for a treat. Once you try it, you'll never forget it."
"Really? Then I'm looking forward to it."
"Yep, Aston's creations are always top-notch!"
