Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Chapter 1063, Purchasing Strange Items

When the Holy Sword of the Vatican was taken out, the entire cave seemed to brighten up.

The holy light flowing from the sword cast fine light patterns on the rock wall.

Xiaoxiao floated over and looked down at it. "It's quite beautiful. It's a pity to throw it in."

"Yeah, I always feel it's a pity to throw it away." Benny also agreed.

Wu Heng glanced at the holy sword and said, "No matter how beautiful it is, we can't use it. Instead of keeping it as a decoration, we might as well give it a try and make it useful."

The queen said from the side: "You two should stop making trouble. If you want something nice, go back and ask the craftsmen to make it for you. Why did we come all this way here?"

"It's a pity that she's a little too good-looking." Xiao Xiao muttered, hiding behind Wu Heng, "My aunt looks like our dean!"

The queen rolled her eyes at her and said, "Just consider it as a compliment."

"Then I'll melt it!" Wu Heng said and let go of his hand.

The holy sword fell vertically into the magma, and with the rolling bubbles, it exploded with golden light from time to time, and then was gradually completely swallowed up.

Smelting (47.8%)

Wu Heng raised his eyebrows.

Up 23.3%.

A holy sword regarded as a core weapon by the Holy See has only increased by a little over 23% here.

But compared with the previous one, it seems to be quite a lot.

After all, the bag of debris thrown in earlier only increased by 24%.

Then, Wu Heng took out the pope's crown, and the gems inlaid on the top reflected the light.

This time, Glenda also said, "There are so many gems on it, why don't we pick them off first..."

"Just pick it off and make it into fragments of a rare object. It's better not to do that." Wu Heng threw the crown down.

The crown sank and floated in the magma, and the gems melted one after another.

Smelting (59.1%)

This extremely gorgeous hat, hung with gems, only increased by 11 points!
Could it be that the increase in weapons will be even greater?
He then took out a scepter, which was the scepter used by the old man during the Week of Courage in the Kingdom of Yeko.

The lava engulfed the scepter... (74.1%).

It seems that the previous speculation that the weapon would be taller was also inaccurate.

The scepter does not increase the value too much.

If you think about it carefully, it makes sense. The Molten Core is a strange object, but it is also a dead object. There is no way to tell whether what was thrown in is a weapon or other parts.

Therefore, the increase cannot be based on the type.

If it were really easy to find a pattern, the dwarves would have tried it long ago.

Later, Wu Heng continued to take out a rare item that he had seized.

As the strange objects were thrown in, the flames on the Molten Core became brighter and more boiling. From the originally burning little sun, layers of flames were now dripping continuously.

It looks like we've reached the critical point that the dwarf mentioned.

The empress flew around the strange object and came back saying, "It looks like we've indeed reached the critical point that the dwarf mentioned. If we continue to invest, all the money we've put in may be wasted."

Glenda followed suit, "I think this is all right. Let's notify the dwarves and see what to do next."

As the two souls spoke, Wu Heng stared at the data panel that only he could see, [Smelting (87.7%)].

If your idea is good, the maximum value is 100%.

Now I am still some distance away from the spiritual world point. The most important thing is that I can see the progress and I am fully capable of controlling it.

It is currently impossible to continue investing in complete artifacts, but you can continue investing in some fragments to increase progress.

"Wu Heng!" Glenda's voice brought him back to reality. "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm counting the number of items used, looking for patterns," Wu Heng explained, then continued, "Molten Core still has room for improvement, but using the complete Qi Wu is obviously not possible. I need to supplement it with some fragments of rare items."

"Are you sure? Don't lose the big picture for the small one." The queen said doubtfully.

After all, if you invest so many rare items and get nothing in the end, the loss is huge.

"I'm sure." Wu Heng said seriously.

"Are there any more fragments of rare objects?" asked Glenda.

"there is none left!"

I had no experience before and thought the fragments were the most useless, so I threw them all in.

The empress flew around and said, "Want to smash two complete ones?"

"That's a shame," Wu Heng continued. "Let's stop for the night. Tomorrow we'll go to the West City area the dwarf mentioned and buy some fragments. They shouldn't be expensive."

Glenda nodded, "I think this method is feasible."

The empress also said, "The rental period is 15 days. Judging from this stipulated time, other people will be more cautious when using it. They really shouldn't be like you and throw everything in right away."

"That's it for now. Let's go to the market tomorrow morning." Wu Heng decided the matter right away.

Glenda continued, "Remember the three days. The dwarf said that if you don't add anything new to the lava within three days, it will solidify. If you don't choose anything, you must complete the smelting within three days."

"Yeah, I remember!" Wu Heng nodded.

As he said this, he walked outside with the four ghosts.

Walking out of the cave, Wu Heng looked up at the night sky. The starlight above Deepforge was obscured by thick smoke, and a few dim halos could be vaguely seen.

It was already dark, and I had been inside for such a long time.

A dwarf guard stepped forward quickly, his iron boots clattering against the cobblestones. "Sir, do you need to seal the Molten Core?"

"Seal it up first." Wu Heng nodded. "I'll come back tomorrow."

The dwarf blew the copper whistle, and the huge door slowly closed with the roar of turning gears.

The guarding dwarf added, "The City Hall has prepared accommodations for you in the VIP building, and the carriage is waiting."

Wu Heng glanced at the iron gate behind him and said, "I'll leave this place to you."

The dwarf smiled and said, "During the agreed period, only you can enter here. Dwarves are the most committed to contracts. Of course, if the deadline is exceeded, any items not taken away will belong to the next user."

"It won't take that long."

Wu Heng said this and boarded the carriage waiting in front.

We crossed the heavily guarded canyon again and returned to the residential area of Deepforge.

Finally, the carriage stopped in front of a building. After walking in, he said to the dwarf at the front desk: "I am the one who uses Molten Core. I heard that the City Hall has prepared a room here."

Hearing this, the dwarf at the front desk immediately showed a respectful look, "Sir, please come this way."

As he spoke, he took him up to the third floor and stopped at a room. "Sir, this is your room, and here is the key!"

"Okay, thank you!"

The dwarf smiled, saluted, and turned to leave.

Pushing open the carved wooden door, the room was more luxurious than expected, with a dwarven-style bronze chandelier with three light stones hanging on it.

There is a large bed covered with snow-white fur, and the bathroom also has an automatically heated constant temperature bathtub.

Dong dong dong~!

There was a knock on the door.

As Wu Heng walked over, Beni's voice rang in his ears, "It's Letili."

open the door.

Letili was wearing a silk nightgown, her long golden hair loosely tied around her shoulders. She held a dinner tray in her hand, and the aroma of stew wafted through the steam. "I heard the noise over here, and I thought it must be you back. I left dinner for you."

At this moment, she looked like a young wife waiting for her husband to come home, with tenderness in her eyes.

Speaking of which, this kind of thing really has some impact on men.

"Come in!" Wu Heng made way and asked, "Where do you live?"

Letili entered the room and placed the prepared dinner on the dining table.

"I live next door," Letilly replied. As she set the tableware, the collar of her pajamas slipped slightly, revealing her white collarbone. "So when I heard the noise, I guessed you were back."

"What a sumptuous meal! Thank you very much." Wu Heng sat down at the dining table.

Lady, like a well-behaved maid, poured him a full glass of wine. Then she sat down beside him, gently fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan, creating a breeze carrying the scent of jasmine.

"Why don't you sit down and eat something?" Wu Heng asked curiously.

"I've eaten, and eating too much at night will make you fat, and then no one will want you." Letili said with a smile, her eyes secretly looking over.

Wu Heng smiled and said, "With your appearance and characteristics, you won't have to worry about that."

"Really?" Letili smiled first, then asked softly, "What if! The person I like doesn't like me back?"

"If he doesn't like someone like you, you should doubt whether he is the kind of person who puts spiritual love above all else." Wu Heng cut a piece of meat and ate while talking.

The tips of Letili's ears turned red, and her eyes were filled with joy.

Noticing Wu Heng looking over, he immediately changed the subject, "Ahem! Sir, did you have any luck using the magical item today?"

"It's going pretty well. I'm going to the rare item market tomorrow to buy some more." Wu Heng said casually.

Letili smiled and said, "You can go to the local Snake Emblem Consortium. This is an important production area for rare items. You should be able to get some internal prices."

Wu Heng raised his eyebrows and said, "Then tomorrow, you will accompany me to visit the consortium."

"It's my honor!" Letili smiled slightly.

The two chatted for a while and waited for Wu Heng to finish eating.

Letili also stood up and said, "My lord, I am going back now. I will accompany you out tomorrow."

Wu Heng nodded, and Letili bowed slightly again, and Wu Heng feasted his eyes.

He then left the room directly.

After washing up, Wu Heng began to make the bed.

Four ghosts appeared in the room, chatting about shopping tomorrow.

Wu Heng was about to go to sleep when Glenda came over and said, "We've discussed it. Tomorrow you and Letili will go to the Snake Emblem Consortium, and we'll go to the market for a stroll. If we come across suitable rare items or fragments, we can buy them directly."

"Okay. I'll write you a leader's order when the time comes. If someone wants to ask you for information, you can show it to them." Wu Heng thought about it and agreed directly.

The original plan included letting a few people stroll around the dwarf city.

"Then let's put it this way. Get up early tomorrow and then we'll go out together." Glenda instructed.

"Buy more. If possible, we can carry out two more smeltings." Wu Heng said.

I finally came here once and found the characteristics of Molten Core. It would be best to use it a few more times.

"Okay, just prepare the money." Glenda said with a smile.

"The money should be enough." Wu Heng raised his space ring.

"Okay, take a rest. You have to go out tomorrow!" Glenda didn't say much and flew directly to the outer room.

Wu Heng took out his cell phone to chat with Shannara and let her know he was safe.

Several ghosts were also in the outer room, watching videos or reading books.

When it got dark, I put my phone on the bedside and fell into a deep sleep.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

The morning light penetrated the thick smoke above Deepforge, casting mottled shadows on the stone road.

Letili changed into a dark red hunting suit. The leather waist belt outlined her slender curves. Her long hair was tied up high, making her look capable and bright.

Seeing Wu Heng coming out, he smiled and saluted, "Sir, good morning!"

Wu Heng nodded, his eyes sweeping over her new outfit, "This one suits you very well today!"

The tips of Letili's ears turned slightly red, and just as she was about to speak, four puppet figures walked out from behind Wu Heng.

She didn't know many of them, only Benny and Xiaoxiao, but she also knew the other two, who were also Wu Heng's ghosts.

"Sister Letili!" Xiaoxiao greeted.

"Good morning! Xiaoxiao!" said Letili, and nodded to the other three ghosts.

Glenda said to Wu Heng, "We're leaving. We'll be back around noon."

"Yeah!" Wu Heng nodded.

The four puppets boarded the carriage and slowly drove away.

Wu Heng and Lei Dili also went to the local Snake Emblem Group.

As soon as I entered the hall, a human waiter came to greet me quickly.

His eyes lingered on their clothes for a moment, and he gave them a professional smile. "You two need..."

Letili flipped her fingertips and showed the badge of the person in charge. "I want to see your local person in charge. Is he here?"

The waiter's expression immediately became respectful, "Please follow me to the VIP room."

After entering the VIP room, the waiter left.

Letili poured Wu Heng a cup of tea. "The consortium in Deepforge is one of the main sources of rare items to various places. Buying some rare items from there shouldn't be any problem."

Wu Heng nodded and said, "It depends on the price. After all, it's just a smelting material and a consumable."

"Well, talk to the person in charge then."

……

On the other side, four ghosts arrived at the strange item market in a carriage.

The whole street was as lively as a vegetable market, with the rough shouts of the dwarves and the sound of metal clashing intertwined.

The stalls were filled with all sorts of oddities: broken sword blades, rusted pocket watches, and even half a rope that could wriggle on its own.

"Wow!" Xiao Xiao rushed to the nearest stall and picked up a tin box. "Grandpa, what is this?"

The stall owner, a short man with a short beard, complained, "Call me Grandpa! I just became an adult last week."

"Oh! Grandpa Hammer." Xiao Xiao pointed at the squirming rope again, "Don't you need to play the flute?"

The dwarf said, "What are you doing with your flute? Don't mess with me."

"Then you haven't told me what this box is used for?" Xiaoxiao continued to ask.

"Amazing item! It can reduce the time metal left inside will rust. The side effect is that after you take it out, the metal will have a fishy smell." The dwarf replied.

"And this lantern?"

A vein popped up on the dwarf's forehead. Then, Beni came over, holding the little one's shoulder with one hand and pointing at the fragments on the stall with the other. "How much are these fragments?"

"This is a fragment of the rare mirror, and this is a fragment of a weapon. Each fragment is worth two gold coins." The dwarf continued to introduce.

"Are you sure?" Glenda also came back from the other two stalls.

"This is my fixed stall. If you have any questions, you can come back to me." The dwarf assured.

When Glenda heard the price, she said directly, "I want them all. Please sort them and pack them up!"

"Okay!" The dwarf took action happily.

Just as the transaction was completed, a group of vendors suddenly came from all directions.

"Ma'am, look at my goods!"

"I have quite a few fragments here, too. Take a look..."

……

The VIP room is filled with the aroma of tea.

The middle-aged person in charge looked at the two of them with a perfect professional smile on his face, but his eyes kept glancing at Wu Heng's faceless mask.

"If you just want Molten Core materials, I can have someone screen out some inexpensive ones." The person in charge said softly.

"As for the price, how do you think it would be calculated?" Letili continued to ask.

"Of course it's the internal price. We don't go through the consortium process. It's 40 gold coins each. Of course, the effect of the rare item isn't that good." The middle-aged person in charge said softly.

Lei Dili glanced at Wu Heng, and seeing him nod, she said, "Okay!"

"Please wait a moment, I'll have someone prepare it."
