[92] I Have a Collaboration, Are You Interested?
In the workshop of the Goibniu Familia, August and Ais walked side by side.
After passing through various forging workshops, they arrived at an independent workshop inside, Goibniu's forging workshop, Goibniu Familia god.
Ais was a regular visitor, making occasional trips to this place.
The reason for choosing this place was simple, Goibniu, also participated in forging weapons. In contrast, Hephaestus, rarely took on weapon forging tasks since they didn't lack money and had no need for it.Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com
While the Goibniu Familia might not be as large as the Hephaestus Familia, they excelled in the art of forging. Goibniu's forging skills were not something that could be caught up with in just a few years.
Pushing open the door, they saw an old man shirtless, busy grinding something.
His appearance was dignified and carried a serious air. With white hair and a slightly lean figure that didn't give an impression of weakness, he exuded a vigorous temperament.
Goibniu, the god in charge of construction, building, and forging.
"Hmm? It's you."
Seeing Ais walk in, Goibniu raised his head slightly and then shifted his gaze downward.
Apparently, he wasn't surprised by Ais's arrival, rather, he seemed accustomed to it.
"Hello."
Ais bowed slightly. Facing a god and a fellow blacksmith, especially one she often troubled, she felt like a child in front of Goibniu.
"What brings you here this time?"
Goibniu's tone was flat as he put down his work and looked at Ais.
"The same as usual."
Ais handed over her sword, Desparate.
Taking a look, August could clearly see a hint of "as expected" on Goibniu's face.
"What have you been cutting this time?"
"Some monsters that can spray corrosive liquid, many of them."
"Though swords with the 'indestructible' property won't be destroyed, they do wear out. I've said it many times, yet you're still the same."
"God Goibniu, how would you like to collaborate?"
"It's simple. Similar to the collaboration with Hephaestus Familia, you will handle the mining, and we will handle the selling. As for profits, we can take a slightly smaller share."
Goibniu was well aware of his own weight. Compared to Hephaestus Familia, Goibniu Familia was somewhat lacking.
It was important to note that Hephaestus Familia was a big and well-established Familia, with numerous shops even within Babel. In Orario, the weapons and equipment of Hephaestus Familia were equivalent to high-end products.
"Interesting. It seems that God Goibniu has an undiscovered vein."
"Yes, but because it's in the deep layers of the Dungeon, even if I have ideas, I'm powerless."
"What vein is it?"
"Mithril vein."
August's pupils contracted. Mithril, compared to Adamantite, had its own advantages.
The strength of Adamantite lay in its high quality. Weapons and equipment forged from adamantite were more powerful, especially when forged into equipment, which had strong defensive capabilities. However, due to its high quality, it was heavy, making it suitable for crafting heavy armor and large weapons.
Mithril, on the other hand, was different. Compared to ordinary metals, Mithril was more lightweight, making it suitable for crafting light armor and small weapons.
Mithril was as hard as high-quality steel, but its weight was less than half of steel.
Both materials had their own advantages and disadvantages, but both were rare forging materials.
"I want to know on which floor. If it's too deep and I can't reach it with my current strength, then I'm powerless."
"The 37th floor of the deep layers of the Dungeon!"
As Goibniu's words fell, both August and Ais widened their eyes.
That was the room of the Floor Boss, and there would be Mithril there?
"God Goibniu, are you kidding? The 37th floor of the deep layers of the Dungeon – how could there be Mithril ore? Even if there is, it's the room of the Floor Boss. If the Floor Boss resurrects, it would be a devastating blow."
"That's why I said I'm powerless."
August understood now, that's why he requested a lower share. It was because of the high risk.
The Goibniu Familia didn't need to do anything but wait for the Mithril ore to be delivered for selling. The risk-sharing ratio was simply not proportional.
