Dicuo, the mechanic from heaven

although.

Livilia was indeed a little worried.

After all, logically speaking, Ais did follow the two Amazon sisters to the Hephaestus family's shop last night, and something became abnormal after she came back.

During this period.

Ais had only met Tsubaki from the Hephaestus family, Aegina, the guild advisor, and...

That guy from Demeter's family!!

But no matter what, Livilia would never admit, nor would she allow, that filthy [Human Empire profiteer] to get involved in her...

"Mother Livilia! We've caught the profiteer!!"

As noisy sounds were heard outside the hall.

Livilia was also stunned, and then she saw the Amazon sisters following behind.

A handsome boy with a sleepy face, even rubbing his hair and yawning.

"I've said it so many times, I'm not a profiteer."

Al explained again solemnly.

At the same time, he looked at the beautiful and tall green-haired elf woman in the hall, then tilted his head and sighed subconsciously.

"Mom? There are so many people with strange hobbies in this world..."

Chapter 18 Recognition, very much recognition!

Even by the standards of an elf, Livilia couldn't help but sigh that the boy before her was very...

Handsome!

Tall, well-proportioned, and almost impeccable, it can be said that with a human body, she possesses a kind of "perfection" that can only be achieved by elves.

Elves are a race that is quite picky about appearance.

And it's not just about superficial things like figure and appearance.

For elves, a person's temperament is more important!

And they are very sensitive to it.

Livilia always maintains her nobility and elegance as a member of the elven royal family. As a role model for the entire elven clan, there is no telling how many of her fellow elven people in Orario have followed her to join the Loki clan.

They even established a special magic force composed entirely of elves.

And the Al in front of me...

Even so, the boy now seemed quite lazy.

But Livilia could still see the incomparable determination and seriousness in the other's eyes, as well as the indomitable spirit emanating from his whole body.

this person.

He is definitely not an ordinary person.

He is not the kind of aristocrat or royal family member who has been spoiled and lived a wealthy life since childhood.

He's probably some kind of civilian leader, and has experienced a lot...

Almost a brief moment.

Riveria, who has more age and experience than an ordinary person, can see something "extraordinary" about El.

really.

This guy is definitely not a level 1 newcomer.

He was probably, as Grace thought, an adventurer who had recently arrived in Orario. Before that, he had probably lived a very extraordinary life.

Livilia lowered her eyes slightly.

He realized that Ai'er was completely different from his stereotype of the "Human Empire Merchants" that the elves hated.

On the contrary.

It seems to be very good...

As a member of the elven royal family, Livilia actually admires young leaders of commoner origins. They usually have outstanding talents and unique insights into the world.

Completely different from those old antiques in the clan who are entangled with bloodline and inheritance.

Not bad.

Moreover, the opponent is a member of Demeter's family and possesses the ability to develop [Mystery], although it seems that his level is a bit low now - no, maybe.

But outside of Orario, there are indeed very few high-level adventurers.

But maybe this is for the better.

If she was weak, Aisi wouldn't be bullied.

Hmm... indeed, from every angle, there is no problem...

wrong!

What on earth are you thinking about? !

Livilia almost typed the word "well-matched" in her heart, blushed slightly, and quickly shook her head.

Just discovered.

Just in the short moment when I was distracted.

The boy had been brought to the living room by the Amazon sisters and stood in front of the two air combat machines.

"Why can't it move? Make it fly, quickly!!"

Tiona looked completely impatient.

I want to see this big steel guy flying in the sky like yesterday, that would be so cool!

"Oh? Can you still fly?"

Grace was also very interested, wondering how such a heavy lump of steel could fly?

No wings either?

And Livilia also said that this thing is not magic power.

correct.

The sturdy dwarf quickly noticed the mechanical assistant flying beside Al.

What a magical thing.

Is it worthy of being called a [mysterious] creation?

"There's no problem starting it..."

Al was indeed shutting down the startup programs of the two air combat machines, including the gifted Viper Cannon.

Because I was thinking.

Find some time to come over and discuss the details of the subsequent cooperation in detail - after all, no matter how you look at it, a certain Amazon sister looks silly.

Al really had no intention of deceiving a fool.

After all, there is no need.

right.

I've said it all, I'm not a profiteer!

Who could have known that he would be caught in just one day?

That's right.

I was a little too eager to go to the dungeon today to verify my guess about improving my [ability value].

"Anyway, this thing is a [weapon], right?"

Livilia, who had come to her senses, spoke coldly, returning to her usual self as the "boss" of the clan.

"If we can truly and effectively support the clan's expedition..."

"It should be no problem."

El interrupted Livilia softly and began to introduce his products very skillfully.

"I heard that this time, your expedition is to reach the fifty-ninth floor, which has never been set foot on before, right?"

Yesterday in the Hephaestus Familia shop, the Amazon sisters and Tsubaki were quite loud—plus the shop wasn't soundproof, so El heard quite a bit.

"Then that must be the trouble."

"How to conserve resources and energy to the maximum extent possible, reach the fiftieth floor, and then set foot in the realm that has never been reached."

“It’s just a matter of logistics!”

That's right.

For the various clans of Orario, the most troublesome aspect of every dungeon expedition is of course logistics and supplies.

There is no "fast track" now that can allow people to go from the city to the depths of the underground city in one go.

Therefore, the expedition team must move forward step by step.

This not only takes a long time, but also creates a fatal problem.

The consumption of supplies along the way, and how to ensure sufficient supplies upon return, while also reserving some to deal with risks...

Although there is a so-called "safe floor", there is only one adventurer base called "Rivera" on the 18th floor.

Further down, it is completely the world of monsters.

What's more, Finn, the leader of Loki's clan.

They have always upheld the perfect concept of "everyone survives", and every time the clan goes on a massive expedition, they must ensure that no place is safe.

This makes the difficult logistical supply even more difficult.

"There's a saying in my hometown: 'Before the army moves, food and supplies must be sent first.' For large-scale combat operations, logistical support is actually the key to success."

"Yes."

Livilia nodded, thinking that the young man in front of her was an expert.

"Have you ever been on an expedition?"

"No."

Al shook his head and spoke truthfully.

"But it's conceivable."

"Imagine?"

"It's all pretty much the same after all."

Ok……

It's similar to thinking about a battle plan or something.

And looking at the young man who was thoughtful at the moment.

Livilia nodded inwardly.

This young man named Al is indeed not an ordinary person... He is smart, insightful, and remains neither humble nor arrogant when facing two LV6 strongmen, himself and Grace.

In Orarie, there is no one who has never heard of me and others, as well as Loki's family, right?

Approved!

It’s really a recognition!

"So, these air combat machines can solve the logistical problem?"

"Of course, because they are iron soldiers who don't need to eat or rest."
