章節 14: Another one
'Pandora's Box... I think this name suits my workshop.' Alvar thought while he took out a plank from his storage and carved it out to look like a sign. He wrote the name 'Pandora's Box' on the sign with a symbol of a heart.
(image of symbol)
Alvar hung the sign up behind him on the wall and started engraving the symbol on all the weapons he made.
Alvar made a few signs and placed them under the weapons he made to display their prices.
'Now It's time to wait.' Alvar thought while taking out his diary and started writing inside it.
'I'll start testing out my Magic Crystals after a couple of hours. The silver orb is also slowly getting brighter so that means the Loki Familia are on their way back from their expedition.' Alvar stopped for a moment to think of a plan.
'When I test the magic crystals I'll also make my way towards the 18th floor. If the orbs 'pull' increases a lot by that time... It would mean that they are very close to the 18th floor and I'll wait for Cali to show up.' Alvar started getting a bit concerned.
'I do hope she at least remembers me somewhat, but worst case scenario I'll just have to keep talking to her until she does.' Alvar took a deep breath to calm himself.
Alvar suddenly sensed someone walking toward him so he closed his diary and looked at him. He has blonde hair and orange eyes with a feathered hat on his head.
Alvar also noticed that the guy has a 'divine' like aura around him.
'Why is my first customer a god?' Alvar thought annoyed.
"What can I do for you, sir?" Alvar asked while resting his head on his hand.
"Oh? I was just curious about those two swords you have on display there. " The god said with a kind smile on his face while pointing at Alteon and Gravelynn.
"Is that so? The broadsword is called Alteon and the rapier is called Gravelynn." Alvar said while smiling under his mask.
"I must say, those are indeed good names." The god said while placing his hand on his chin.
"Ah! I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Hermes." He said while stretching his hand out for a handshake.
"Nice to meet you, Hermes. My name is Cyrus. Now I'm quite curious about your reason to visit my workshop. It's quite new so there shouldn't be any reason of how I got a god's attention on the first day." Alvar said while staring at Hermes and ignoring his hand entirely.
The corner of Hermes's lip started twitching.
"No need to be so cold... As I said, I was just curious about those swords." Hermes said with a chuckle.
'I highly doubt that.' Alvar thought
"What are their price?" Hermes asked curiously.
"I'm only selling them to a wielder they deem worthy. So you don't have to worry about the price." Alvar said while waving his hand.
"So I'm not deemed worthy?" Hermes asked with a sad expression on his face while thinking
'The swords can sense if someone is worthy? Shouldn't that only be something divine weapons can do?'
"Am I allowed to hold one of them?" Hermes asked curiously.
"Sure, but I don't think that's a good idea," Alvar said and watched how Hermes reach out to pick up Gravelynn, only to instantly retract his hand before he could even reach Gravelynn's handle.
'The sword warned me...' Hermes thought with a cold sweat. He felt killing intent from a blade that looked so pure and holy.
'Doesn't that mean it's alive?' he thought while scanning Alvar again.
'How was he able to make something like this? Shouldn't that only be possible for gods? I have to ask Asfi to get some information about him.' Hermes thought while scanning the other weapons hanging behind Alvar.
'Not only two divine swords that look to be on par with Hephaestus's work, but the rest also seems to be of amazing quality... and sold for such a cheap price as well.' Hermes thought with shock.
"Are you perhaps a part of the Hephaestus Familia?" Hermes asked calmly.
"Perhaps I am," Alvar said in a calm tone while looking at Hermes with a grin.
'It seems that Gravelynn's mana circuits worked.' Alvar thought happily.
'So he is a part of the Hephaestus Familia. He should be a new member, but how come I haven't heard of anything about this guy?' Hermes thought while relying on his ability to sense the truth.
Alvar looked at Hermes with the same grin on his face.
'From what Andrew told me is that gods and goddesses are able to tell if someone is telling the truth or not, but what if a 'mortal' is able to mess with that ability?' Alvar thought.
'From this god, I'm able to guess that they 'sense' the souls of mortals and instinctively know if they are telling the truth, but with the Skull Crown, I am able to mask my soul or in this case make gods believe I am telling the truth.' Alvar thought while staring at Hermes's eyes fully knowing that the god believed him.
When Alvar said 'I am' he used the Skull Crown and made it seem like he answered truthfully. This was a test to see if the gods instinctively sense the souls of mortals to see if they are telling the truth or if they use a different method.
"Well thank you for your time, Cyrus. May we meet again." Hermes said with a kind smile and walked off.
'I wonder what plans that god is making.' Alvar thought while opening up his diary again.
5 hours later.
Alvar has sold almost all of his weapons but decided that it was time to head out to the dungeon.
'I didn't expect to be able to sell so many in just five hours.' Alvar thought with a bit of shock.
'I wonder how bad the quality of weapons and materials are in this world for so many people to want to buy mine instead.' Alvar thought but just shook his head at the thought.
'It doesn't really matter to me, I should pack up and head to the dungeon.'
Alvar started packing up and neatly stored the rest of the weapons that weren't sold inside the workshop. He also placed Alteon and Gravelynn inside his storage.
'The orb does seem to be glowing a bit brighter than earlier.' Alvar thought excitedly.
