Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 334: The Furnace of Soul Refining
The dull gifted armor was obviously a set of light armor used exclusively by winged people. It was full of traces of rust, but it looked like it could be worn by humans as well. It just looked very ordinary in appearance.

As a warrior, Frog naturally does not need such light armor.

He told Carlos all the information he had gained from these items.

After Carlos looked at the [Dulled Armor], he thought for a moment and then came up with a solution.

"It is said that after the battle, in recognition of his achievements, the Lord gave him a piece of armor with a special mark on it, which was blessed with glory... From this point of view, it is indeed the armor of Black Feather Nigar."

Carlos said that the special marks that could still be vaguely seen on the armor proved that his guess was correct.

Frog nodded thoughtfully.

If that's the case, then the content of the description given by Lingzhu should be describing this Black-Feathered Nigar.

"I don't know what the crime is..." Frog frowned slightly: "Does this mean that Black Feather Nigal was actually wrongly accused?"

"And this is why the armor has lost its luster?"

Frog's speculation is reasonable.

But Carlos didn't completely agree: "Although this possibility cannot be ruled out, it cannot be completely confirmed. After all, according to the description in the classics, Black Feather Nigar is arrogant and conceited. It is possible that he died without knowing what his guilt was."

"It can be said that although he does not know what his crime is, he is willing to accept punishment and repent." Frog raised an objection.

The quality of loyalty of a person who is unaware of his guilt but willing to accept punishment is obvious.

So the question is, would such a loyal subordinate end up like this because of the crime of disrespect?
After hearing what Frog said, Carlos also fell into deep thought.

What Frog said made sense. If Black Feather Nigar was really as loyal as stated in the Spirit Candle's instructions, then the "crime of disrespect" would be completely untenable.

All in all, there are most likely other reasons for Heiyu Nigar's death.

Thinking of this, Carlos suddenly said, "By the way, have you ever looked for the underwater pit that Black Feather Nigal is guarding? There might be something in it."

Frog was stunned when he heard this, and only after Carlos said this did he realize that there was a deep pit under Shiyu. After defeating the opponent, he was anxious to offer sacrifices to the fire and upgrade the fire, so he had not searched yet.

Now it seems that I should go search for it.

Thinking of this, Frog didn't hesitate. After saying something to Carlos, he jumped into the water and came to Shiyu's deep pit again.

A few ignorant monsters came along the way, and Frog pierced them twice to send them to the road.

After making sure there was no danger around, Frog crawled into the deep pit.

Not long after, he reached the bottom, and at the same time he made new discoveries, and the spirit candle also gave new clues.

I saw a huge sealing formation at the bottom of the deep pit, covered with spells, and above it was a hideous and ancient furnace, with black and purple power spreading all around it.

[You discovered a stopped "Soul Melting Furnace"]

[Soul Refining Furnace: A special furnace used to refine souls to obtain the power of the soul. After the soul is refined, it will completely disappear. This evil method has never been recognized by most life forms.]

[Tip: Touch the mouth of the Soul Furnace to enter its interior in soul form.]

"A furnace for refining souls?"

Frog frowned.

After thinking about it, he did not immediately touch the furnace and enter as Lingzhu had instructed, but instead went back and brought Carlos with him.

Carlos should know something else. Sure enough, after Carlos saw this thing, his pupils shrank and he was shocked.

Frog brought him to the surface of the water, and the other party soon couldn't wait to talk to Frog. After learning the term "soul furnace", Carlos was even more shocked.

"A furnace... or a soul furnace... that's a furnace technology only possessed by the giants, why would it appear here..."

"What does it mean that only giants have the furnace technology?" Frog asked puzzledly.

So far, players have seen "giants", that is, in the [Trialist Dungeon] and the Box in the House copy, but the giant in the former is not the giant in the normal impression, but a relic giant, and appears in an image that cannot be killed for the time being, and the same is true for the latter.

This proves the power of the giant.

In addition, there are some brief mentions in the books within some copies, but they are just a few words and there is no important content.

Therefore, players still know very little about Giants.

Now it seems that Carlos, the pilgrim of the Feathered People, seems to know something.

After hearing what Frog said, Carlos considered his words: "...Remember what I just told you about starting a fire?"

"Remember, what is the connection between the two?" Frog nodded.

"Let's put it this way. One of the reasons why the act of 'starting a fire' is dangerous is that there is a blood incompatibility between the person starting the fire and the fire. This is almost an unsolvable problem."

Carlos paused here.

"But... the furnace technology of the giants is an exception... It is rumored that the giants have a furnace that can temper fire and allow the fire of different bloodlines to merge, allowing two completely different bloodlines to coexist in one individual."

"Of course, this is just a rumor, based on the large number of different kinds of giants that people have seen. There is no basis for this, and no one has actually seen the furnaces that giants use."

"But their furnace technology does exist. Creations like the Soul Furnace are extremely rare. At the same time, because its evil functions are not accepted by the world, the giants have sealed it away."

"I didn't expect to see it here. I don't know why the Lord would place such a furnace here..."

"But this Soul Crucible should be a replica..."

Carlos frowned slightly as he spoke.

"It's a replica. How can you tell?" Frog was a little surprised. He didn't see any signs of shoddy workmanship.

"It's simple, the giants' furnace is not that small." said Carlos.

Okay, that makes sense.

Given the size of the giants, they certainly wouldn't use such a small furnace.

"Hmm... Speaking of furnaces, there is one on Candlewood Island." Frog suddenly thought of this and tried to trigger Carlos's dialogue easter egg, asking expectantly: "Have you heard of the Sin Furnace? The kind that can make weapons?"

"The Furnace of Sin?" Carlos was a little surprised, but his answer did not disappoint Frog: "The furnace used by the giants to refine weapons is also called this."

"They believed that the birth of weapons carried the sin of killing, so they gave this name to the furnace that made the weapons."

Frog heard this and seemed to be thinking about something.

Whether it's the problem of starting the fire or the name of the Sin Furnace, it seems to be related to the giants...

Could it be that... there is some relationship between Candlelight and the giants?
