Danmachi: The Magic Grandmaster

Before long, Meteria completed her conversion.

Next up were Alfia and Elsa.

"I want to become an adventurer too." Ais quickly took off her clothes and looked at Astrea as she spoke.

Ais moved so fast that Astrea was taken aback for a moment before looking at Sion.

"I suggest we don't do that for now," Sion glanced at Ais.

"Why?" Ais asked, feeling somewhat disappointed.

"A falna records hidden ability parameters. You need to train your body to its maximum limit before becoming an adventurer so those gains are logged as hidden stats," Sion explained.

"That's what I did too. Before receiving my falna, my stats were equivalent to a level 4 adventurer."

After his body reached a perfect state, his abilities were comparable to maxed out level 5, putting him on par with a fresh level 6 adventurer.

By building that AT field, Sion removed his natural physical limits and opened his potential.

If judged by the standard of gene locks, he had effectively reached the second stage.

Human anatomy was different in this world, so those systems were not a perfect match.

They just served as a useful comparison.

Ais was drawn in by his words. "You did the same thing, Sion?"

"Yes. If you're willing, I'll teach you how to get stronger starting tomorrow," Sion smiled.

"Once you reach your physical limit, I'll let you receive a falna."

"Okay." Ais shook off her disappointment and nodded seriously.

"It's a promise then."

"Yeah." Sion hooked his pinky finger with hers and laughed.

"Now put your clothes back on properly. A young girl shouldn't do things like this."

"I understand." Ais blinked and nodded.

Ais was naive and she needed to learn some common sense.

At the very least, she needed to understand basic concepts.

"Now that the conversions are complete, we need to define the exact nature of our familia," Astrea said.

"A nation familia," Sion answered without hesitation.

"I figured as much," Astrea smiled.

"Even with the backing of the two strongest former familias, becoming the true king of Orario is a difficult path."

"Do you have a plan yet?"

"I already have a solution. We just need to take it one step at a time."

Sion shook his head and explained, "Although Orario is the center of the world, the dungeon no longer welcomes adventurers, and the prayers of Ouranos have stopped."

"In other words, the biggest attraction of Orario is basically gone. That essentially cuts off the main source of income for most exploration focused familias."

"Ordinary exploration familias can't freely travel to the outside world. As long as we can absorb those stranded adventurers, we can build our foundational structure."

"How do we do that?" Astrea frowned. "You don't expect me to recruit a massive crowd of members, do you?"

She had high standards for her members.

Even if they were going to be a nation familia, she refused to accept people who lacked a proper sense of justice.

For a god like Ares, who managed tens of thousands of soldiers, simply updating their falna was a tedious and exhausting task.

"Of course not," Sion replied.

"You don't need to give a falna to every single citizen. You only need to bless our core members."

"Those lazy gods only treat giving out a falna as a chore, and they spend the rest of their time playing around."

...

Many gods were just looking to have fun in the gekkai.

Frivolous and unmotivated familia members made up the majority of Orario.

Those deities welcomed anyone into their ranks, provided they paid enough valis.

Therefore, they could absorb these people without forcing them to leave their current familias.

"What are the specific details of your plan?" Astrea asked.

"We'll open factories," Sion stated.

"I plan to unite the production familias of Orario and build manufacturing plants all over the city."

"We'll absorb the adventurers who can no longer enter the dungeon or travel to the outside world."

"We'll employ them to create magic items, and then partner with commercial familias to sell those goods all over the world."

"A portion of the exploration familias can serve as guards to protect our trade routes. This is the first step to conquering Orario."

If they could pull this off, Orario would fall under economic control.

From that point on, whatever he wanted to do would be simple.
