"Ya~ Shorty, thanks to your Takatsuki, we earned a lot from this expedition."
When visiting the Loki Familia, Loki immediately "mocked" Hestia upon meeting her.
"Oh~ That's for sure! You don't even look at whose child Takatsuki-kun is!"
"What does that have to do with you! Shorty, it was just luck!"
Looking at the two Gods who were already bickering on the other side, Finn lightly coughed, ignoring them both and saying to Takatsuki and the others: "Welcome to Twilight Manor. Come, I'll take you to the warehouse."
"You should have already sorted out the list of materials and their approximate value. You can directly prioritize and select the materials you need in the warehouse. Of course, if you don't need materials and only need Valis, we can also help sell them on your behalf. The Loki Familia still has some channels, and the purchase price will be higher than the market price recovered by the Guild."
Finn expressed great goodwill here, and Takatsuki directly asked, "Then we'll trouble you, but we want to select some materials to make some equipment."
"Alright, please follow me."
The group quickly arrived at the warehouse, where the materials had already been sorted, categorized, and arranged by type and grade.
"Please."
Finn made a gesture of invitation, and Takatsuki looked at Bronya: "Bronya, I'll trouble you."
"Bronya received."
Because no one present was very knowledgeable about these things, and they had previously planned to collect materials to craft equipment, they specifically arranged for someone more proficient in this area to study, and that person was Bronya, who was best at information processing.
So, the task of selecting materials to craft equipment for everyone was also entrusted to Bronya.
The others were responsible for helping to transport the materials.
The materials for the armor of the six people were quickly selected, and Finn took the opportunity to invite them: "Come and sit down. The reward for the first alliance should also be settled."
As Finn led them into Twilight Manor, Kiana showed an expression of astonishment.
"It's so big! When can we have such a large base?"
Finn walked ahead, smiling, and said, "With Mr. Takatsuki's ability, I believe you will soon be able to buy a good base."
Indeed, the Hestia Familia could be said to be a new Familia that had just been established within a month, yet it had already reached a level that many small Familias could not achieve in several years.
It was only because the money earned previously had been used for Fu Hua's treatment, and the rewards from the Loki Familia here had not yet been converted into money.
According to Bronya's calculations, this transaction could earn about 400 million Valis, which means the Loki Familia earned about 1.4 billion this time, with their cost input being nearly 1 billion.
"Another drink!"
As the group passed through the restaurant of Twilight Manor, they saw a flat-chested red-haired goddess and a big-breasted black-haired goddess sitting opposite each other, having a drinking contest. It was unclear what caused this situation.
"I apologize, our Goddess has caused you trouble."
Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes twitched, and Riveria also sighed.
"It's fine, it's fine, ours is the same, it's just drinking, nothing much."
The group ignored the two goddesses who were just drinking and not causing trouble, and came to the living room.
"Lefiya, bring that over."
Finn said to Lefiya, who was waiting in the living room, and then said to Takatsuki and the others: "Please take a seat."
After everyone sat down, Lefiya ran over with two books and placed them on the table in front of Takatsuki and the others: "Here."
"Books?"
Kiana picked up a book with some curiosity and was about to open it when Riveria suddenly spoke: "These are grimoires. By reading them, there is a chance to awaken magic."
"Eh!"
Kiana's hand stopped immediately: "Magic?"
Riveria nodded: "A grimoire can only be read once. If it's someone without magic, the probability of awakening magic on the first use is very high."
"Like a skill book in a game? What kind of magic can be awakened?"
Hearing Kiana's words, Riveria was a little confused: "Although I don't know what you mean by a skill book, the awakened magic is related to the reader."
"Idiot Kiana, this isn't something you can just play around with."
Bronya snatched the grimoire from Kiana's hand: "The price of a grimoire in Orario is over 100 million Valis, and it's still priceless on the market."
"Ah, damn it, Bronya, you called me an idiot again."
Looking at the two who were making a fuss without caring that they were on someone else's territory, Takatsuki awkwardly smiled apologetically at Finn and the others opposite: "You've seen us at our worst, but isn't this grimoire too valuable?"
"No, no, after all, we benefited from it. And as for grimoires, while they are valuable, that's only for Familias without channels. We still have channels to acquire them, so Riveria and I discussed it and thought it would be more appropriate to use grimoires as a reward."
Riveria, who was beside him, also nodded: "Moreover, if you want to come here to learn magic, you can't learn it without magic."
Seeing Riveria say so, Takatsuki stopped talking and nodded.
"Then I won't be polite and will accept it."
Seeing Takatsuki agree to the reward, Finn smiled and nodded: "Now that the reward is settled, next is information provided by the friendship between our two Familias."
"Information?"
Finn nodded, his expression somewhat solemn, and said, "Mr. Takatsuki, your ability to communicate with the surface from the Dungeon may have been exposed."
"Of course, it was absolutely not exposed by us. In fact, there's a high probability it was exposed when Mr. Takatsuki retrieved weapons for the younger generation of your Familia. There are many smart people in Orario, and coupled with the connection between our two sides, it's easy for people to make the connection."
Finn continued: "In fact, the first moment we heard about this, Loki-sama already used her inability to lie to gods to check the entire Familia, ensuring that no one from our internal ranks leaked it. We also investigated, and this matter has not been widely publicized; it's only being discussed as a rumor by certain people, and they don't know who the person involved is. However, some other Familias might obtain accurate information, so please be careful from now on."
