Ch 122 — Divine Protection of the God of War and the God of Blacksmiths

Next morning after we ate breakfast I told Fer, Sui and Dora-chan what had happened the night before .

“So to sum it up, Fer and Dora-chan received the protection of the God of War Vulcan-sama and Sui got the protection of the God of Blacksmiths Hephaestus-sama . ”

Well, they hadn’t exactly ‘received’ the blessings, I had dumped them on my contracted monsters instead . My excuse was that such blessings would have been too much for me to cope with and I already had Wind Goddess Ninril-sama’s blessing (small) to deal with and that was quite enough for me, thank you .

The God of War’s blessing, well I’m no battle maniac despite Fer’s best attempts to teach me how to fight by dragging me into Goblin villages and dungeons full of Kobolds . I’ll quite happily leave any fighting like that up to Fer, thank you . He seems to enjoy it anyway so that’s why I passed on that live hand-grenade of a blessing to Fer and Dora-chan .

“Really?! I’ve been given the God of War’s divine blessing? That’s totally cool, woohoo!” Dora-chan appeared to be pleased with the outcome of last night’s negotiations, flying around in circles and performing aerobatics like a miniature stunt plane .

“The War God’s protection?” Fer mused . “That sounds pretty good to me . Well done, you . ” He seemed more than satisfied with the blessing he had received too .

As for the blessing of the God of Blacksmiths, I’ve never been very handy making things (other than food, of course) . At the time I named Sui to receive that blessing in a bit of a panic but now I was worried if I had done the right thing . Would it hurt Sui somehow maybe?

“Blacksmith God’s protection-?” Sai said tentatively . “I got a blessing from the Water Goddess and Water magic . What can I do now, aruji-?” Sui seemed intrigued as to what she could do with that particular blessing but I couldn’t really help her .

“To start with I’ll Appraise everyone and confirm the blessings . ” I announced .

I started with Fer since he was my first contracted monster and the largest and greediest and- anyway, lessee .

[ Protections ] Wind Goddess Ninril’s Blessings, War God Vulcan’s Blessings

There’s Vulcan-sama’s blessing added to his Status, with a new Skill called Battle Enhancement . That sounded . . . well, kinda sketchy . I wondered what it actually involved and I wasn’t sure I really wanted to find out . I had a feeling I’d find out anyway . I noticed all his other stats had risen since the last time I had looked at them .

“Hey Fer, did you notice you’ve levelled up?”

“You saw that? Hmmm . ” Fer thought for a moment . “The higher the level you reach the harder it is to increase it further . Although I’ve not levelled up over the past few years, after we met and I made my submission contract with you my level has risen by four . Eating the delicious food you cook has done it, I think . Smartest decision I’ve made in five hundred years . ” Fer grinned, a scary sight to anyone who didn’t know what he was thinking like I did . The level up and the blessing he had just received had put him in a really good mood . I looked over his Status once again, it never failed to amaze me . I was no match for him but he was totally on my side, thankfully .

Next up I Appraised Dora-chan .

[ Protection ] War God Vulcan’s Blessings

Yup, Dora-chan also had Vulcan-sama’s protection as well as that dangerous-looking ‘Battle Enhancement’ skill, just like Fer . Looking at it again, Dora-chan was clearly very strong even though he was deceptively small .

Finally I Appraised Sui, expecting she’d be stronger too .
