Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 387: Dr. Nuo's Detailed Report
Noshir first responded in the affirmative, and then slowly explained to Karak.

"Your Hellfire Heart is an extremely powerful construct. Based on technical means alone, it is not an exaggeration to call it a legendary item."

"But although this heart is powerful, the source of its kinetic energy is extraordinary. The fire that silently burns in your body is the hellfire from hell. This is a kind of fire that can only be born in hell, and only the unique environment of hell can maintain its stability."

"The main material plane lacks some element that allows it to burn steadily (Noshil suspects it is the broken souls wandering in hell). The imbalance of the environment has caused it to become unstable. This is also the fundamental reason why you have lost control, because it is about to go out."

"But the Hell Engine burns the soul. As time goes by, the fire in your chest will automatically look for combustibles to burn, which will only lead to two possibilities."

"One, the hellfire will suddenly burst into flames one day in the future, using your own soul as the final fuel. In the end, your body and soul will be burned to ashes in the explosion. Two, you may not be burned to death by luck, but the fire in your heart will be completely extinguished. Your heart will lose its power source, and you will die in the end."

"…It sounds like I'm doomed. Is there any good news?"

"Don't worry, I'm just going to say it."

Noshir cleared his throat.

"It's not easy to completely resolve the hidden dangers in your body. To be honest, the fact that you were able to survive this transformation is a miracle in itself. No matter how that miracle happened, your body had already been completely changed by it at that time."

"After the arrival of this heart, your bones, blood, muscles, organs, everything was forced to spontaneously adapt and evolve. As a result, your flesh and blood have extraordinary resistance to fire. Ordinary fire can't even make you feel any pain."

"Your blood becomes a kind of natural coolant. It can interact with your heart and flow through the specially designed conductive organs on the surface of your heart throughout your body, maintaining your vital signs."

"Your bones have been strengthened and have undergone unique mutations under specific guidance. Not only can they support your entire body, but they have also mutated into a structure that can fix this iron heart, so that your organs will not be crushed by this iron heart."

"And your organs have become extremely tough because of this, able to withstand the occasional bursts of fire from this heart. All of this is the biggest reason why you have not been killed by this heart until now. Your body is very strong and very special."

"Wow, I've never felt my own physical condition so intuitively, but after hearing what you said, I suddenly feel so strong!"

Karak touched his body somewhat unnaturally.

"As long as you don't compete with me, you are indeed very strong."

Noshir pretended to be calm, but Karak really couldn't refute this.

'Who would want to compete with a monster like you?'

Karak secretly relieved his stomach for a moment, then continued.

"Soldier, if my physical condition has really become what you said, how long do you think I can hold on?" "According to the previous examination, with your current physical condition, if you don't take some special measures to delay the spontaneous combustion, I'm afraid you will only have less than 20 days left in the mortal world."

Noshir responded.

2-20 days!
Karak was instantly shocked by this number! He finally regained his freedom, but was suddenly told that he only had 20 days left to live! No matter who encountered this kind of thing, they would collapse for a while.

"Hey, don't be scared. This is the worst-case scenario that only occurs when there is no emergency treatment. Wait for me to go to Daimo and install a valve blocker for your heart with hell iron to reduce your heart output power. You can live for at least another three months. This period of time is enough for me to completely solve your heart problems, so don't worry too much. Everything will be fine."

"More than three months..."

"Don't worry, it won't really take three months. If nothing unexpected happens, I can completely solve the little trouble caused by this heart in another half a month."

Karak's current situation is actually quite good. Her unique physical condition allows her to bear the power of the heart of hell to the greatest extent. With such a good foundation, Noshir can use another method to allow Karak to survive normally even if she leaves the environment of hell.

"Because your entire body has been changed by this heart. Normally, as long as you can return to Hell, you will be able to spend a very long time in peace, because this heart will never age, and the unique magical energy generated when it burns inside can keep you young forever."

"But because of the change in the environment, this thing has now begun to kill you. The only way to save your life is to stop it from burning out of control."

"So listen carefully, Karak. I have come up with two ways to help you solve your heart problem. I need you to choose between them."

"The first option is to return to Hell. I have already explained the specific reason before. The material plane does not have the unique energy that can stably burn Hellfire. But I know your situation. I think you will definitely not choose this method, so I will directly tell you the second option."

Karak's expression became excited!
"That's right, soldier! Even if I die, I will never go back to that damn place of hell! Just tell me the other way!"

Noshir nodded, then spoke seriously.

"The second method is to make another large-scale transformation to your heart. When you were in hell, your body could run this engine very smoothly. This means that there is no problem with you, but with the engine itself. What I have to do now is to strengthen your physique, improve your heart, and give you a few more protective measures and energy circulation formations."

"I may need to improve your lungs and add sufficient protection against Hellfire and energy storage modules. These things can guarantee your life safety to the greatest extent. Even if a situation like today occurs again, you don't have to worry about your life in the short term."

"And the ideal situation is that I can attach a small space node to your heart so that the hellfire in your heart can be connected to hell, thus ensuring that the hellfire burns steadily."

"I have a prop in my hand called the Endless Smoke Pot. The interior of this small pot is connected to the wind elemental plane. If I can fully understand this technology, I can use it on your heart, so that your heart can maintain the same smooth operation as in hell even in the main material plane."
