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

After switching to the spiritual vision, he could see that the black mist floating out of the sphere was indeed a special spirit.

In Newbis, all things have spirits. After ordinary things have completed their own existence process, their bodies will dissolve and their spirits will completely dissipate. Only in rare cases will they remain and become ghosts.

But the spirit at the core of this thought is obviously not a naturally formed ghost.

"Spirit? With its ability to drive the source body, it is definitely not an ordinary ghost. What is the principle behind it?" Cassandra asked.

"Since it is the guardian of the Furnace of Creation, it must have been implanted by the builder of the furnace, right?" Geldin guessed.

"The soul's cage doesn't just imprison it, it also forces it to act according to a predetermined program. This level of technology is completely incomprehensible."

Hephiphaeus reached out his hand, and after obtaining Leon's consent, he took the Soul Cage and looked at it over and over again.

The craftsmen were also amazed, but they knew very little about spirits and spiritual bodies.

Newbiss does have some necromancers who study the undead, but like all the fantasy works Leon has read, these people in Newbiss are considered taboo and only exist on the fringes of various sky island societies.

"Something seems to be wrong with this ball." Gellerding said suddenly.

215. Zen Heart Flowing Water

"What's wrong?" Hephiwise looked at his bearded colleague.

Galdin pointed to the center of the regularly arranged closable holes directly above the sphere.

"It's burnt here."

After he reminded them, everyone looked carefully and indeed found very slight signs of burning.

"You are really careful." Cassandra smiled.

Hephihuais frowned, turned the sphere over again, and found more traces at the same angle.

"This situation is very unusual." The red-haired craftsman said decisively.

"What will happen if it burns?" Licia asked with her eyes blinking without any idea.

Hephiprion said, "The Furnace of Creation. We, the 'Dome Furnace Society,' are named to pursue it. We are the group of people who know it best in this world."

"so what?"

"Don't worry, this is just a premise."

The red-haired craftsman said, "According to our understanding, the Furnace of Creation is a sanctuary built by the most glorious ancient civilization at the site of an everlasting volcanic crater left behind after the birth of the world.

"We codenamed that civilization 'The Firstborn'.

"After countless years, the mechanisms they left behind are still functioning, and can even modulate the world's authority.

"A 9th-order inherent barrier can protect matter from the erosion of time. A civilization capable of creating this kind of iron guard capable of tearing through dimensions and traveling through space shouldn't have scorch marks on the core they built." He looked at the other Dome Furnace Society craftsmen and found that their judgments were surprisingly consistent.

From the perspective of a top craftsman, the porous sphere itself is almost perfect, and the scorch marks on it are caused by accident.

"So what did it go through?" asked the orange-haired girl.

"It experienced an unusual blow to its core, and these scorch marks should be left from that incident," Gellertin speculated.

Hephihuais looked at Leon and said, "Leon just used spiritual manipulation to forcibly shut down this core. As a civilization, it's natural for it to be able to be shut down. However, forcibly shutting it down may leave traces of damage."

"You mean, someone has forcibly shut down this guard?" Leon asked.

"Do you remember what it said about the mortals' right to wield treasures being taken back more than 720,000 solar and lunar cycles ago?" asked the red-haired craftsman.

Some people nodded after hearing Hephiwise's question.

"The sun-moon cycle is probably its representation of a day. This time is two thousand years ago. It means that the Furnace of Creation determined the rule prohibiting mortals from creating Noble Phantasms two thousand years ago."

In Newbis, there is also a cycle of the sun and the moon in a day, but the sun and the moon in this world are completely different from those on Earth, yet surprisingly they appear the same when observed.

"That's not true," Faronio said. "My ancestor lived a thousand years ago and was able to create a Noble Phantasm easily."

Hephiway said, "But it also mentioned a cycle number of 250,000, which means it was more than 700 years ago."

"More than seven hundred years ago, the last 'fire thief' was executed." Li Ang whispered the words of the guard at that time.

"This statement is very informative. We won't analyze anything else for now. I can only say that this time coincides with the time that many great craftsmen throughout history believed the final Noble Phantasm would be created."

"In other words, it was because of the existence of the person called 'Fire Thief' by the Furnace Guards that people seven hundred years earlier were able to create Noble Phantasms within a period of time?" Ellaphia analyzed.

"I think so." Hephiwise nodded, holding the porous sphere and said, "This scorch mark may have been caused by the fire thief forcibly closing the guard."

Hephihuais closed his eyes and sensed the porous sphere, and Leon also switched to spiritual vision to observe.

"Although my skills are still lacking, from my understanding as a craftsman, the creator of this sphere intended for the black mist to fill it completely. However, from what I perceive, the black mist currently only occupies a small part of it."

"Is your level also considered lacking?" Cassandra showed a speechless expression.

Li Ang could also see from his spiritual vision that when the special spiritual black mist was trapped inside the porous sphere, it did not even reach half of its reserve.

Hephihuais didn't respond to the Oxen craftswoman's words. He simply said, "Perhaps it's been too long, and it's been damaged. Or perhaps the fire thief has worn it down while fighting it. In short, the Furnace Guardian's intelligence isn't very high, which doesn't quite match its powerful strength, so it hasn't unleashed much destructive power."

Cassandra laughed dryly, "That's enough. Without Miss Councillor, we would have confessed everything."

"Since mortals are prohibited, then everyone below the Legendary level is a mortal. It shouldn't fail in front of the 9th level."

Hephiwais began to mutter to himself again, such as "Who is the fire thief?", "What technology is needed to shut down this guard?", "Have more guards been shut down?", "Did he do this in the Furnace of Creation?" and other self-talking speculations, and others could not get a word in.

Geldin and Cassandra, who were already familiar with his situation, looked at each other, smiled helplessly, and asked the craftsmen to collect the wreckage of the Iron Guard and prepare to rest.

"Alas, the crisis has been resolved, all thanks to you."

Cassandra stretched out her arms and smiled at Leon and Ella Fia.

She patted Li Ang's shoulder and said, "Young man, we should cooperate more in the future."

Li Ang smiled: "Of course, Ling Meng still has a lot to learn from the master craftsmen."

"I haven't seen your level yet, but there's no need to rush. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Cassandra looked at Leon and said, "Aerial Knight is your main job, right?"

"Yes."

"What's the strength of your team?"

Li Ang gave a wry smile: "The future will be strong."

Yes, as long as we can deal with those problem girls and make them carry out team activities properly, then there will be no problem.

Cassandra laughed heartily. "To be favored by the incredibly famous congresswoman, and even to see your support spells. Oh, no, I personally experienced that whole-game slowdown. I do believe you're quite capable. Spellcaster, spiritual control, I really overlooked these things before."

The mature Oxen woman gradually stopped smiling and said seriously, "I'm talking about an alliance at the true level."

Hearing her say this, Li Ang also became serious.

"Although the Dome Furnace Society has long pursued the Furnace of Creation, we have only now finally made contact. You are the one who initiated this, and your power will allow us to capture the core of the Iron Guardian."

The mature Ox woman pointed at the porous sphere in Hephiwise's hand and said, "Don't be fooled by their intense concentration. I'm at a similar level, and I know we can't really see much."

"However, we still want to get more information, so you should be the only one who has the opportunity to do this.

"You have spiritual manipulation abilities that we don't understand, and you're also a member of the Qionglu Society. I think you should take care of that thing and see if you can get more information."

Cassandra said, "Although you're already an official member, we're still united by our ideals. Over the years, as long as everyone contributes enough, we don't force everyone to participate in the pursuit of the Creation Forge. Some people are hard to see outside of gatherings. That's why we need to discuss this with you specifically, aligning your personal interests with the group's goals."

The female craftsman of the Ox Tribe said that if Li Ang had not brought the staff possession with him, this meeting of the Qionglu Society would have been to discuss the formation of the Qionglu Society's own combat power.

"You saw that orichalcum golem, didn't you? That's Hephipraeas's core technology. While it's still far from the level of a master at the level of Excellence, we craftsmen can stack high-quality equipment and components to improve our combat effectiveness."

You are RMT players, I understand. Leon thought.

"Originally, there was another topic we were discussing: forming our own air cavalry regiment. Hiring a celestial group to help us would always create a barrier between us and many things would be difficult to communicate."

Cassandra shrugged. "But there are so many different opinions on this matter. I have no idea at the moment. Should we spend time training them from scratch, or should we recruit them and form a team? And how should we maintain their relationship with us? It's all very complicated."

"So you think I can take on this position?"

"Just give it a try. There's no harm in trying more."

Cassandra did not hide her intentions, and this frankness did not make Leon feel any resentment.

"From a profit perspective, you are a craftsman and a Sky Knight. If we can find the Furnace of Creation, the benefits will be enormous."

"Yes."

Leon not only superficially acknowledged the interests Cassandra analyzed in order to persuade him, but the system also required him to master the creation of the treasure he had discovered himself and reach the Furnace of Creation.

"I can keep the core and try to find the information within, but my team needs time to develop."

Cassandra smiled and said that since they had decided to unite, Leon would have high authority in any of the Dome Furnace Club's headquarters. The biggest advantage was that he could access some precious materials for free, purchase materials at low prices through the club's internal channels, and borrow various tools and forges.

"Is there any chance I could have one of those liquid bronze golems?" Leon asked.

“It requires rather stringent conditions.”

Hephihuais walked over and said, "To keep it in liquid form, even if you choose the metal material with the lowest melting point to form its body, it will be difficult to use in a normal environment. It also requires a high-temperature furnace to maintain its state. If you have a private furnace, I can set one up for you."

"A private furnace? Wait until my airship is built." Leon could only reply.

Therefore, after the series of events involving the creation of the Noble Phantasm, Leon had just joined the Qionglu Society and established a deep connection with the society.

Although the Dome of the Sky created a Noble Phantasm, the craftsmen did not think that was enough.

First, due to the Speaker's request, Leon could not clearly state where the weapon came from. He only explained that it was accidentally found in the treasure house of the Ellaphia family and this object could not be reproduced.

Secondly, they finally used Li Ang's source skeleton crystal. They knew in their hearts that this was still far from being a real treasure.

Even if Leon could find a reason to take out weapons again, the source skeleton crystals were limited. They might be useful elsewhere, and he didn't want them all to become equipment.

The system's Noble Phantasm-making quest line for Leon also requires heading to the real Furnace of Creation. Only then, neither Leon nor the Qionglu Society can truly solve the problem of creating this Noble Phantasm.

"The materials you invested should also contain the 'Glory of Creation', which is the source power that the guard mentioned." Hephihuais said to Leon.

"I didn't think too much about it at the time. I just didn't want the project to fail."

Leon admitted it ambiguously. Without mentioning the matter of Bahamut, the craftsmen could understand that he had obtained a set of materials containing the power of the source during his adventure.

It's not the best, but it's at the next level. The best is a complete block of refined source steel. The system says it's the material used directly to create a treasure. No matter how urgent the situation was before, he couldn't just throw it away.

After finalizing the cooperation and regular communication, Li Ang had nothing to do in the Qionglu Club.

"Hey, have you forgotten something?" Faronio said unhappily.

"Zen mind flows like water, right?" The three source hammers said in unison.

"Well, you always come down to remind me, and you always say I'm calculating."

"I really forgot. There are too many things in my head."

Hephiphaeus was about to turn around and leave, but Galdin stopped him, walked away quickly, and soon came back holding a sword.

Hearing that the legendary sword containing secrets was given to Leon by the Dome of the Sky, not only Ellaphia came over, but Licia also came closer with interest.

Li Ang took the sword in his hand and felt it was very heavy.

Just as it is related to water, its mass is like the weight of flowing water. Even in the hot underground cave, the scabbard and hilt can feel the coolness of the water abyss.

From the outside, you can't tell that this sword is anything special. The scabbard is uncarved and is completely black. You have to look closely to see the smooth lines created by top-notch craftsmanship.

Li Ang slowly drew out his sword, and the heat around him instantly subsided. Everyone felt like they were standing beside a stream in the forest.

A cloud of mist rose in the hot air.

【Zen Heart Flowing Water】

[The Five Swords of the Divine Craftsman are the only five surviving works of Master Forger Ernest, each displaying extraordinary power and the master's unparalleled skill. "Zen Heart Flowing Water" is Ernest's last work before he ascended to the level of a legendary craftsman. In his youth, his arrogance led to his isolation. His innate talent allowed him to craft any equipment with ease, but he was always one step short of the legendary realm. After experiencing the ups and downs of life, he finally gained enlightenment by the side of a small river next to a temple where monks practiced. This sword was born in response to this. The sword's appearance is ancient and simple, but like the undercurrent of the abyss, its power is hidden beneath the surface. No storm can shake it, but instead it fuels its counterattack. Wind and rain are outside, but the heart is unmoved. However, because he had not yet reached the legendary level when the sword was completed, the sword had flaws. He did not improve it later, as if leaving it for future generations.]

【Morphological Liberation

"This sword is one step away from the legendary realm."

Hephiway said, "In terms of power, the Dome Furnace has more powerful weapons, such as the Ollihake we just created, but this one is the highest in terms of realm. I didn't expect it to be handed over so quickly."

"Can I watch..."

Before Faronio could finish her words, she was blocked by Ellaphia and Licia.
