With that done Alexander turned back towards the east rather than return straight to the Coliseum. This time his destination was the workshop of the Goddess Hephaestus. While he didn't imagine it would be possible for him to afford any of her creations for a while, it couldn't hurt to take a look at exactly how much they cost; all he knew was they were apparently ludicrous. Besides maybe he hammer out a deal with the Goddess or one of her Guild Members to get a weapon that would be able to handle the sharp increases to Strength he had already begun to experience. 

The workshop gave a unique smell to the air from down the street as he approached, and it wasn't long after that he could hear the strike of hammers even through the walls and doors. He pushed open the doors to the storefront portion of the workshop and was greeted with a rush of heated air. The shop was completely empty without anyone even at the counter and Alexander blinked for a moment before he stepped inside, letting the doors close by themselves behind him.
