Quit the team, then picked up a beautiful girl with problems

"What's your level? Do you have any representative works? Bring them here for us to see." said a craftsman.

Another craftsman asked, "Was the so-called Noble Phantasm Body forged by this master? I haven't seen him use it, but I can sense the fluctuations of his magic power."

The craftsmen were talking about making equipment. Although Leon was no match for them, the 9th-order magic fluctuations at least wouldn't let them underestimate him.

“It was not built by me.”

Li Ang said to the craftsmen, "I just happened to come across an object that seems to have been created by God. It has almost infinite plasticity. I think placing it in front of you, the divine craftsmen, will be the best way to utilize it."

This sentence is not a fabricated excuse. Leon feels that it is a waste to just use high-level materials to transform a weapon into an excellent equipment.

"I don't dare to be a master craftsman."

A quiet, hoarse voice responded.

Hephiphaeus stood up, his red hair a flaming, yet withered look. He hadn't looked away from Faronio the entire time she was speaking, and instead responded to Leon's words.

The red-haired top craftsman seemed to have something to say. He slowly picked up the equipment on the table.

Li Ang took the opportunity to whisper to Fa Luo: "Aren't you usually too unreliable? No one trusts you. It seems that everyone knows about your covetousness for the Sword of the Excalibur."

"It's a complete misunderstanding. Once Mr. Li Ang takes out the body, they will definitely apologize to me."

"A Noble Phantasm? We mortals, even with our dull minds, can't create one."

Hephihuais sneered. He was not expressing any emotion towards Faro and Leon, but seemed to be expressing a feeling of being unable to pursue something.

"Look at this. I spent a month's hard work on this weapon."

The red-haired man seemed to have an old injury on one of his feet. He limped forward and raised something that looked like a glove.

This is a hand guard, but it has more than just defense.

[Inescapable Grip]

[Silver-black claws, with multiple magical powers condensed into invisible chains wrapped around them, capable of capturing enemies at the will of the holder]

[Level: 8]

【Category: Boxing gloves】

[Equipment Skills: Enemy Search Magic Chain, High-Level Magic Recharge]

[Form Release: Grasping Demonic Hand]

"Tier 8 equipment is not a problem for us. Yes, this is a failure."

Hephiphath threw the work at his feet like trash.

"I tried to use a multicolored magic core as its energy source, and also tried forty-seven combinations of enemy-seeking magic runes. Finally, I found the one that best utilized high-level magic chains. After constant channeling of magic and spiritual power, I still couldn't create a Noble Phantasm."

He pointed at the table, where some very beautiful spherical objects were placed. They were beautiful because they released multiple magical lights.

Leon couldn't help but look up at the top of the mountain copper furnace. The molten fire array and those magic rails were the most powerful tools of the craftsmen of the Dome Furnace Association in the Holy City. The high-level magic in them was similar to these colorful spheres.

He used the system to check and found that these balls themselves could be used as a very powerful source of energy.

However, it may not be easy for ordinary people to use, because the various high-level magic powers are difficult to be controlled by one profession. Hephihuais can combine them together, which can be said to be a superb skill. No wonder he can create that liquid copper golem.

His skills also involve controlling spirituality, otherwise it would be impossible to bring these conflicting high-level energies together.

As for Leon, since he can manipulate spirituality, this energy source is most suitable for him. Unfortunately, things are different now. If he had met this master before, he would definitely try to buy it.

Hephihuais used his own method to gather high-level magic power and tried to use it in equipment manufacturing to create treasures.

This claw is quite effective. If given to someone like Barbanus, he can directly grab the enemy and beat him up.

Leon could even see Hephihuais's idea in creating it. He tried to make multiple high-level magic powers form an inescapable bondage, so as to simultaneously realize the concept of the weapon becoming a treasure with an energy source and a 9th-level equipment.

But the fact is, both of these are difficult. Newbiss does have 9th-level equipment that carries conceptual skills but is not a Noble Phantasm, but it is so rare that when it is discovered, people always say, "It seems that it would be better to create a Noble Phantasm."

Even among high-level sky knights who only know how to fight, they all agree that Noble Phantasms make it easier to upgrade equipment to level 9 and obtain conceptual skills.

It was normal for Hephihuais to fail. From what he said, he had failed countless times.

The red-haired man shook his head at Farrow: "Those who are busy with all sorts of things every day, and have never tried to create a true ultimate work, have no idea of the countless failures and confusions of those of us who are pursuing the creation of Noble Phantasms.

"If you really have the chance, show it to me, otherwise don't come and take up our time."

A master craftsman stroked his beard and looked at the gloves on the ground. "Is the orichalcum's bearing capacity insufficient?"

Hephiway said, "I have mixed it with moon silver and sky blue gold. Some high-level materials are not suitable as the main material. Orichalcum is the most suitable."

"That--"

The craftsmen suddenly started discussing with each other, leaving Faro aside.

Leon smiled. He could understand those who focused on one thing, but Faronio held her breath and felt unhappy.

Although this little girl also has mysterious craftsmanship, she is very different from ordinary craftsmen. Aifei seems to have some grudges against her, but Leon doesn't know how much she knows about the mystery of Faro.

"Mr. Leon, please take out that weapon," said Farlow.

Leon looked at Ella Fia, and the blond nodded. He gathered his magic power to tear open the dimension, and used the power of the Blade Master to control the staff to slowly fly out of the space crack.

The craftsmen were still talking, but some of them took a second look due to the dimensional tear.

Just at this moment, his expression froze.

The craftsman stared at the staff's possession and pulled the person next to him.

The disturbed craftsman was a little impatient at first, but after his head was pushed to look over, he was also frozen.

As it was passed on one by one, more and more people were attracted by the extremely perfect staff.

When they arrived at Hephiparath, the red-haired man was still arguing with another craftsman. Only when the other craftsman stopped talking did he frown and look back in their direction.

The withered-haired Source Hammer craftsman instantly turned into a statue, and he remained silent longer than anyone else.

Hephiphaeus remained silent until the master craftsmen rushed to Leon and the other two, raised their hands and circled around the staff with an expression as if they wanted to touch it but were afraid to damage it, asking where it came from and repeatedly asking what Leon wanted to do.

After a long time, Hephihuais uttered a word lightly.

"The ultimate thing."

One craftsman said, "The ultimate thing, that is the prerequisite for the Noble Phantasm."

The red-haired man stared at Leon and Faronio. "You came here to make us turn it into a treasure, right?"

"Yes." Faro said with his back straightened.

"There's no need to talk about the price, reward, or conditions," Hephiwise said.

He raised his hand, and surging magic power shot upward, activating the magic rails of the entire mountain copper furnace. The molten fire array burst into flames, and the entire underground cavity became extremely hot.

Flames gushed out of the orichalcum furnace, and multiple magic rails leaped and flew.

"Calling the other 'Source Hammers', the gathering can be brought forward to initiate the Dome Furnace's collective forging ritual."

Hephiphaeus continued to guide the orichalcum furnace to spit out magical flames, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Open the furnace!"

208. The Difficulty of Thinking in a Blind Spot

Naturally, a communicator made of mother-and-child voice stones was placed inside the mountain copper furnace. The craftsmen transmitted messages through the communicator, and Li Ang heard almost loud shouts and commotion from the other side.

Soon, he heard the elevator going underground start to work.

Craftsmen hurried over one after another. Some of them were still in their pajamas when they entered the orichalcum furnace. When they saw the staff possessed by Ellaphia, floating in the air, they immediately ran without caring about their posture.

They surrounded the silver staff in three layers. Ella Fiya frowned to prevent it from being accidentally touched by these people. She was a little annoyed, but said nothing, perhaps because she knew that even if she scolded the trash, these craftsmen would not be able to hear her.

Hephihuais waited quietly, and soon, another craftsman with the name of "Hammer of Source" arrived.

He was similar to Morlain, who entered the Mountain Copper Furnace with Leon and others. He was short, very strong, and had a big brown beard.

"Galdin is here." Hephiwaith greeted.

"Here they come." said the top craftsman named Geldin.

Leon once suspected that people with their appearance were indeed dwarves, a species found in many fantasy worlds. However, there was no such thing in Newbiss, and even the system did not specifically mark their ethnicity.

Li Ang speculated that there really was a dwarf civilization, but they had been extinct for too long and had long since merged with other races to the point where they were difficult to distinguish. Only a small number of people would have a distinct appearance in their genetic inheritance.

After Geldin's arrival, the gathering to start the furnace became more formal. Many craftsmen had begun to collect unnecessary things and pick materials purposefully.

Everything they did was based on the discussions between Hephipara and Galedin.

"...For a body of this level, the results of a slight disturbance will vary greatly. The confluence of multiple magical powers that you are obsessed with will increase the difficulty suddenly, and it is not necessarily a good choice." Geldin shook his head.

"How can we create a Noble Phantasm without striving for perfection?" Hephiwise said, "I've always believed that our inability to replicate the skills of our predecessors is because we set too low a standard for ourselves."

The red-haired craftsman glanced at Leon and said, "No matter how this item was obtained, we must also consider the user when crafting it. This is the craftsman's job. This gentleman is a spellcaster, so a staff with a multicolored magic power converging is the most suitable."

Galdin sighed. "It's hard to tell. Are you researching all day to successfully create a Noble Phantasm, or are you simply trying to achieve a difficult and unattainable goal?"

“Both. There is no conflict.”

The bearded craftsman spread his hands. "In my opinion, the versatility of this staff is nearly limitless. By specializing in a single attribute, the likelihood of achieving Noble Phantasm status will increase significantly. Whether it's a staff or a magic wand, it's better to focus on a single function."

"A staff or a magic wand... It reminds me that perhaps it can switch its effects through transformation and achieve the realm of a true almighty staff." Hephiwise lowered his head in thought.

"Alright, I can't do anything to you. Let's wait until Cassandra arrives."

The discussion between the two Source Hammers made Leon's eyes twitch.

It has to be said that the scene described by Hephiwise made him very excited.

If the six kinds of high-level magic found by the master craftsmen in the Orichalcum Furnace could be given possession of the staff, even if it was not a treasure, it would be the best staff for a sorcerer like him.

If he could switch between a magic staff and a weapon staff, then he could use the system to learn other fighter professions, which would make him more versatile and comprehensive.

The two craftsmen continued to argue, and Leon asked Faronio, "What does the 'source' in 'Source Hammer' refer to?"

The businessman Douding looked at Li Ang and asked, "Mr. Li Ang, do you know about the Essence or not?"

"I don't know," Li Ang shook his head.

He hadn't known about it originally, but he'd heard the term repeatedly in references to Noble Phantasms. Among the Sky Knights, the idea that Noble Phantasms were forged from "the Essence of Creation" and "pure energy" was a commonplace, even if most people had no idea what it meant.

Later, the panel of Bahamut summoned by Zoe and Ivenis showed that its scales and claws were all made of source material, and the material used to cast its restraints was also called refined source material steel. He then had some idea of this matter.

At least he could understand that there was indeed something called source matter. Although its essence was unclear, he already knew its origin and status.

How did the Qionglu Society know about this?

"That's going to take a long time to explain." Faronio supported her cheek.

"What a trouble! What a trouble!" the green dragon shouted.

"If you don't explain, I'll do it. You're just a profiteer and a scumbag who always cares about gains and losses." said Alafia.

When Faro heard this, his expression froze and he turned his head away and ignored her.

Aifei lowered her foot slightly on the flying sword, moving closer to Leon. He realized that she might be too hot. Unless other professions specialized in controlling ice and water, it would be difficult for them to create a pure magic water barrier to cool down like a sorcerer.

Although she was invincible in battle, her face was now flushed, and her flowing golden hair had lost its original elegance due to being stuck to her face by sweat. Her two small feet were also sweaty from walking.

Alafia used a little strength to kick Leon: "I lowered the altitude so that you wouldn't look, but you still want to look."

Her face turned even redder and she turned away and started explaining directly.

"The naming and founding of the Dome Furnace Society are related to the Source Essence, which involves a legend related to the 'Furnace of Creation'."

Ellaphia said that two hundred years ago, the founder of the Dome of the Sky Society set out on a quest to recreate the method of forging a Noble Phantasm. Thanks to the popularization of the guild's rules in Newbis, his travels were greatly facilitated.

After a long search, the craftsman finally found the text recording the "Furnace of Creation" in the ruins of a civilization that was good at creation with the help of the Air Cavalry Regiment at that time.

That civilization said that this was a holy place left behind by the first creator of the world. It was formed after the supreme power that created the world cooled down. There, objects specifically for gods could be created.

These descriptions are so magical that it doesn’t matter whether the founder of the Qionglu Society believes them or not. What matters to him is that there is finally a clue.

He believed that gathering members with the same goal could speed up the process of finding the target location, so the operating philosophy of the Qionglu Society was to always absorb talented members, because such people would not be easily satisfied with only mastering the skills of mortals and could not reach the realm of creating treasures.

As for the source material, it is what the relic text says, the fuel of the furnace of creation, and also the material of its creations.

The highest title within the organization was designated "Hammer of Essence" in the hope that these top craftsmen would possess the same level of power.

"So, has the Master Craftsman Ernest ever looked for it?"

Leon looked at Faro intentionally or unintentionally. After talking about those things, he couldn't ignore this question, because Ernest seemed to be a person who could rub out a treasure at any time.

Does he know about the Furnace of Creation? If so, what would he think of it?

Faronio turned her head and she understood that Leon was asking her.

"Whether the ancestor knows it or not, I also don't know, but he is more focused on building his own studio."

The merchant Douding put his index finger and thumb together and said, "Let me reveal a little bit. Our ancestors' workshop is called a workshop, but it actually covers a lot of things, including a very powerful forge."
