Don't call me evil god

Chapter 261 Casting Divine Art?
It wasn't just Petunia who hadn't heard of any divine spells with similar effects.

Even Maren, a blacksmith, did not know before this that there was a magic casting technique that could strengthen already formed equipment.

The main feature of the magic bestowed upon the dwarves by the God of Forging is the ability to incorporate the distorted materials from monsters into the forging process, creating equipment of better quality, more durable, or more powerful, and even producing additional effects such as "protection" and "charging".

But once the equipment is produced and finalized, the effect of the casting magic ends.

The next step is to add the blessing of the glow magic, or the enchantment magic mastered by the gray dwarves.

Unless it is recast and separated, the original equipment can be melted into materials and then other better raw materials can be added.

But that process is essentially equivalent to rebuilding it all over again.

It still doesn't count as a reinforcement of the completed equipment.

……

The process by which Maren "discovered" this casting magic with enhanced effects was completely an accident.

His original intention was simply to pray to the God of Knowledge, trying to gain knowledge about more powerful casting arts, such as those that would allow him to use monster materials to create equipment.

After all, the territory of the Church of Knowledge is in the Dark Forest, where there are a large number of monster materials.

Nowen received Maren's prayer in the kingdom of God, and his divine creation responded to the prayer and bestowed the corresponding knowledge.

But the knowledge content is not the magic that Maren wants!
The casting magic called [Equipment Strengthening] does not use monster materials or other raw materials to create equipment, but strengthens the already formed equipment!

It comes at the cost of consuming the god's power and corresponding materials.

After strengthening successfully.

Armor becomes stronger and can withstand more attacks;

Weapons become sharper and can do more damage;
Effects like these are a bit like the strengthening mechanisms in the games that Norman had played in his previous life.

Noven, who paid attention to this, discovered something quite outrageous:

"Why does the magic of the God of Forging consume my divine power?!"

"And I'm using all the pure divine power that I worked so hard to accumulate!"

"Isn't the knowledge that Maren gained through prayer the art of casting magic? What does it have to do with me?"

Noven was shocked.

In the past, believers obtained various knowledge from Nowen, and Nowen felt that his role was like a springboard. In addition to the knowledge that could be learned, he also gave the believers a license that belonged to him.

With permission, believers can unleash all kinds of magic and spells without restriction.

Nowen guessed that in the process of releasing divine magic, the believers probably consumed the divine power of the corresponding gods.

After all, Noven's own divine power was not consumed.

But this time the situation is different.

When Maren tried to cast the [Equipment Enhancement] spell, it was Nowen who provided the necessary divine power!

Think about it.

Noven analyzed various possibilities and finally came up with the most likely answer:

"Could it be that this divine art does not belong to the God of Forging, but... to me?"

"But Maren is clearly praying to the god of casting for divine knowledge!"

"I have no connection with the God of Forging."

"When believers use divine magic, they chant prayers to the God of Casting, not me!"

When he came to this world and inherited the identity of a god, Norman had no idea what divine powers he had that he could bestow upon his believers. It was only later that he discovered a way to bestow knowledge upon his believers.

Neither dwarves, humans, or any other race have ever received such blessings from the God of Forge.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a non-existent divine art.

But it can obtain relevant knowledge through the authority of Nowen!

And the believers learned about it and learned it successfully!

What's even more outrageous is.

Norwen asked several believers to send down the oracle to try it out, and found that [Equipment Enhancement] was not like the magic of the God of Casting, which had different learning efficiency according to different talents. It was just like the magic and magic used by professionals in battle. As long as they were Norwen's believers, they could quickly complete the learning and release after obtaining the knowledge.

In short, this magic, discovered by Maren by accident, quickly spread among the believers.

……

Knowing that it was a free trial opportunity, Petunia had no reason to refuse.

"How to do?"

Mullen smiled and rubbed his hands, took the sword from Petunia, then took out some things from the blacksmith's storeroom and piled them on the table.

A small pile of shiny little pieces of iron;
A handful of bright green leaves with serrated edges;
There are also a few things that look like fruit cores.

"Fine iron, blades of Blade Grass, and distorted materials from level 1 monsters."

Mullen introduced them to Pete Twain in turn.

Petun's sword was placed securely on the anvil by Maren.

Take out some materials from the side and place them in the corresponding positions.

Swinging the forging hammer, he smashed the weapon hard!
"boom!!!"

There was a deafening bang.

Petwin felt dizzy for a moment, because he felt that the long sword seemed to flash a little white light.

But when he looked carefully, he didn't find any changes.

Maren put down the forging hammer, smiled with satisfaction, and handed the sword back to Petunia.

"The strengthening is complete. Congratulations, Mr. Tostin. This sword has successfully received its first strengthening."

Pete Twain was puzzled: "Has there been...any changes?"

From the appearance, it seems to be no different from before forging.

There are still changes, or rather, the absence of change itself is a kind of change.

Such a heavy blow should have left some marks on the sword, but when Petunia checked it carefully, she found that it was still intact.

No traces were left, which was obviously the effect of the divine power.

Mullen smiled and explained, “It’s simple.”

"Mr. Tostin, why don't you try to attack the shell of that level 2 monster again?"

Pete Twain did so.

Another sword chopped down.

"Crack!"

Feeling the change in the feel of the weapon, Petwin cried out in surprise.

"Hey?!"

It was clearly the same force, but this time when the weapon hit the hard shell of the monster, Petwin vaguely felt that it seemed a little easier, and the weapon broke the shell's defense more easily!
Last time he was shaken so much that his palms were sore, but this time the pain seemed to be less!
But this change is not particularly obvious.

Petunia wasn't sure if it was his imagination or if something had really changed with the weapon.

"Did you feel it?" There was a strange expression on Ma Lun's face at this moment.

To describe it, it's like wanting to laugh but trying hard to hold it back.

"This is our unique value-added service. After strengthening the equipment, its power can be increased! Multiple strengthenings will increase the effect!"

"You still have two more chances to experience this casting magic for free."

"Will you continue, Mr. Pettywin Tustin?"
