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

"Have they been to the Furnace of Creation?"

"Yes."

"Where is the Furnace of Creation?"

"You are not authorized to know about this issue."

OK, I'll ask again after I increase my permissions.

Seeing that the goal pursued by the Qionglu Society was right in front of him, Li Ang became a little excited. From this point of view alone, this battle was not in vain.

"Then, the next question is, the Island Forgers left. Where did they go?"

"The Deus demanded they go to the Forge of Creation to forge war machines. Believing their entire tribe would be exterminated by the Deus, they sealed this place, hoping to pass on their legacy to someone who could regain control of the Forge of Creation. With the power here, a newcomer might be able to defeat the Deus. The Island Forgers believe that the ultimate weapon needed to destroy the Deus—the power of the Star Soul—lies within this place."

"Destroy the Star Soul?!"

Li Ang was not the only one who exclaimed.

"How to do it?" Li Ang asked immediately.

"The Island Forgers' millennia of achievements are all condensed into a single law of power. It can directly dismantle the star soul bodies that carry the Deus's tyranny."

343. Starting Key

"The so-called Star Soul is the 'Destruction Battleship', right?" Locke said.

The phantom did not respond to this, he just looked at Leon, waiting for his reaction.

It seems that the information left by the Island Forger does not include the destruction of the warship.

Li Ang asked the thinking unit to continue: "What law of power?"

"The Law of Fusion governs all the ways in which matter can be fused together. When the material is solid and indestructible, it is always advantageous, whether in engineering or warfare.

"During the thousands of years of the Island Forgers' gradual rise, this philosophy has always been implemented. All foreign enemies who coveted the Island Forgers' wealth and craftsmanship were destroyed by the torrent of steel."

"The power of the law," said Melegon. "Those guards are as strong as I've ever seen. That makes sense."

In this way, everyone's victory was entirely dependent on Leon's "spell" that could dismantle the guard's body. So even if the fact that he had obtained the law of fusion with the help of the system was not exposed, it reminded them that he possessed extraordinary power.

"Tsk, I still can't beat Leon." Zoe muttered softly.

Well, you made it more certain.

Leon wanted to rub her head, but the defensive spikes of the Cursed Swordsman's Armor were well designed, and he raised his hand halfway and had no idea where to start.

The thinking unit said, "The previous owner of the Furnace of Creation believed that only those who understood the mysteries of the fusion law could defeat the guards and reach the control console, and all the knowledge leading to this path has been engraved on the walls all the way here.

"Whether you're a natural-born prophet halfway to the divine realm, or a striver who's spent decades gaining a glimpse of the path, as long as you ultimately master the principles of fusion, you'll be able to see how to defeat the furnace guards."

As soon as these words were spoken, even without explanation, everyone present could more or less understand what kind of power Leon possessed.

"The sorcerer's ability, as well as my own skills as a craftsman, did allow me to gain a lot of information during my previous explorations, so I feel confident that I can conquer this place," said Leon.

"It seems that Leon is the most important person here."

Melegon stepped forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Leon, and looked at the others. "Since he already understands the legendary laws that are the core of this facility, he plays an irreplaceable role in our use of the Furnace of Creation."

The Knight Commander obviously deliberately supported Leon to prevent any bad attitude from the engineers.

Loken didn't remain silent for long. He looked up at the complex and magnificent mechanical structure above him and sighed, "Island Maker, we have lived here for decades, but only today did we know the names of the people who have been so kind to the residents of this island for so long.

"As masters, they have the right to choose to whom to hand over the inheritance. Since Captain Leon has mastered the power of the law, he should have this authority.

"Don't worry. We are different from Kalon and his ilk. We have no objection to this, especially since you are on the side of the guild and will share the power here."

Leon was relieved that no conflict occurred. In his past adventures, he had seen too many partners turn against each other for a little profit.

He nodded to Melgon with gratitude, while Leon's own team members asked with concern, "So, brother is at the legendary level?"

It was Alulu who spoke, and Dorothy and Zoe beside her also had the same expression on their faces. Leon's eyes met with the two Meimeis who were looking over at him. These two people had definitely reached the legendary level and were both thinking about his current state.

"I only understand part of the power, but I don't know what else is needed to become a legend."

Li Ang was telling the truth.

Melgon continued, "Every legendary warrior naturally reached the 10th level after comprehending the laws. I've never heard of anyone gaining the power of the laws before their magic power level has been upgraded."

Seeing Leon's inquiring gaze, Meimei responded first: "When you comprehend the laws, you will hear the 'voice of the world'. Newbis itself is speaking to you. You will feel as if you are merging with the entire world. In that process, magic power will naturally..."

I guess the system is helping me cheat, Li Ang thought.

"Let's put this issue aside for now and talk about it later."

Melgon looked at Meimei strangely. During the previous battle, Leon noticed that the leader of the Knights of Order had a questioning look on his face several times, but because the battle was fierce and he was busy with many things after the war, he never talked to him.

Li Ang guessed that what he wanted to ask was why there was such a young and powerful girl on his side. It's not that such geniuses have never appeared in Newbis, but they are extremely rare, especially after the establishment of the guild, when the average strength is somewhat lagging behind.

But perhaps because he felt it was a bit presumptuous to ask directly, Melgon said nothing.

Seeing that the others were also waiting to dig deeper into the information in the shadow of the thinking unit, Li Ang asked, "How do we use the law of fusion?"

"The Island Forgers are a clan of craftsmen. They are not as skilled in various sacrificial magics as the Dragon Worshipers, nor in manipulating magical dimensional plants like the Magic Flower King Court, nor in using magic in various ways like the elves and fairies.

They assemble machines from materials, layering armor on top of them to create a torrent of steel capable of withstanding any foe. But this power is thwarted by the Deus, who command giant beasts like falling stars, breaching their defenses with incredible force.

"The only way to threaten the Star Beast, that is, the Star Soul body, is to use the Law of Fusion to gather magic power and release it, casting a spell called 'Disintegration Light Wave'."

Splitting light waves? I already know how to do that.

Leon once again lamented the unreasonableness of the system. Not only was it very easy for him to obtain the law of fusion, but after he understood and applied the law to restore the guard's alloy body, he also learned this powerful spell directly.

Is this enough?

Leon was silent for a while, and the others were looking at him. He noticed that high-level spellcasters like Farina, and group members like Melegon and Morales were all thoughtful. They could more or less sense that the beam of light he had released before was very similar to what the thinking unit said.

He considered his words and said, "Is this a spell? If I were to cast it, would it be enough to shake the Star Soul?"

Leon believed that the Disintegration Light Wave could cause effective damage to the Star Soul like the Annihilation Thunder, but even if it was a specialized spell, it would be unrealistic for a single caster to fight against a behemoth that required a team to defeat.

“Among the Island Builders, there aren’t many who are skilled in spellcasting. To unleash the true power of the Artisan Clan, one naturally needs to rely on the creations within the clan.

"The fission light wave amplifier, composed of three large modules: the concentrator, the energy rail, and the transmitter, is called the 'fission cannon'. Its blueprints are kept in my records and are available for your use."

Naval gun?

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd became agitated and everyone whispered and discussed with the people around them.

The members of the Star Flower Brigade surrounded Leon, especially Zoe, who was particularly excited.

"Ship Gun 4) 〒〦Jiuba Reimu's cannon, right? Quick, Leon, build it."

The girl held Leon's hand and shook it. He knew that she had wanted this kind of thing for a long time, which could be traced back to when she just left Satus Island and was on the imperial warship.

"Let me see what that is."

Li Ang asked the thinking unit to call up the so-called blueprint. The phantom nodded and controlled the furnace of mechanical creation to run for a moment. The mechanical arm on the high place took a chip from a conveyor belt and handed it to Li Ang.

After taking the chip and sensing the magic power inside, he immediately thought of the jade he had obtained from the secret box in the Dark Night Ancient City, and the secret book that recorded spell stealing. The two looked like the same thing.

Sure enough, when observing with spiritual vision, the spirituality contained in the chip passed a piece of information to Leon, which was the blueprint and manufacturing method of a naval gun.

Even if the Island Forger is not proficient in magic, he can still perform a certain degree of spiritual manipulation.

Is this ability standard for ancient races?

Putting this doubt in his heart for the time being, Leon walked towards Locke and told everyone at the Shadow Shipyard about the situation of this naval gun.

The engineers looked at each other and said, "The structure you described sounds a bit like the cannons on ancient warships."

Speaking of ancient warships, one of the original purposes of conquering the Furnace of Creation was to find out if there was more information about it. Now with personalized thinking units, we can even ask questions directly.

"Do you know about the ships that the Island Forgers built that are nearly three hundred meters long?"

"Yes, there is a huge amount of information about it. Please wait a moment, I will search for you..."

The shadow was stunned for a moment before speaking, "The search is complete. You are inquiring about the Island Forger's final creation—the Island-Falling Battleship."

The name is enough to make people stunned, and those who have personally come into contact with it cannot imagine that it is positioned in this way.

The nation called "Casting Island" created the ultimate thing to make the Sky Island fall?

"What is its function?" Leon asked to confirm.

"A weapon that destroys islands as a unit. Its main gun, after charging, is powerful enough to rupture the core structure of the island, causing its destruction."

"Why build this ship?"

"Faced with the relentless pressure from the Deus, the Island Forgers considered the worst-case scenario. Therefore, the proposal to commit the entire clan's strength to a final decisive battle was made public. Some members agreed with this option and began to forge this unprecedented weapon."

"But it's parked outside one of the passages in the Furnace of Creation. It hasn't taken off yet."

"The Activation Key was lost. I don't have any relevant information stored in my database, but I do have some members' speculations. One leading theory is that their plan was discovered by the Deus, and the Grand Forger who held the Activation Key was killed by them, and the Activation Key also fell into their hands."

"If it fell into their hands, the ship should have been taken away, right?"

Leon still remembered what the Thinking Unit said at the beginning, that the Island Forger was captured by the Deus people and taken to the Furnace of Creation to make weapons.

"I might know about this matter," said Locke.

The old man took a deep breath. "Kalon and I found the activation key and information about this giant ship from an ancient remains... Now we should call it the Island-Crushing Battleship."

Locke reached inside his jacket and pulled out a metal box. He opened it and found a stack of sheet metal inside.

Just looking at the box in his hand, its casting style and engravings were similar to the many landscape styles in the Furnace of Creation and the Machine Core Tunnel. Given this scene, there was no doubt that it came from the Forge Island.

"What are these?" Leon asked.

"Foundry blueprints are the information carriers favored by island builders." The shadow of the thinking unit explained first.

"These metal sheets can be considered as the paper used by the island builders."

Locke took out one and handed it to Leon. Leon looked at it carefully and found that it was a thumbnail of the ancient giant ship.

The other thin plates also contain information from various angles. They are not complete drawings, but it can be inferred that there is an extremely large ship under the ground of the Rudder City.

"The person who possessed these plates died in a room resembling a workshop. Based on the traces, Kalon and I infer that he was destroying and hiding these plates before he was killed. After killing him, the murderer, unable to find the most useful information, destroyed them out of frustration and then left."

Upon hearing this, the Thinking Unit said, "Analysis, summary, deduction... These remains must belong to the master caster who led the construction of the warship that crashed on the island. He lost his life trying to prevent the Deus from obtaining information about the warship."

"I agree with this conclusion." Locke said.

Leon was puzzled: "The Deus should be a very powerful group. Didn't he discover these things?"

"He discovered the problem. The ancient giant ship... the island-crashing warship requires a crucial chip to activate. This is what the phantom calls the activation key. Without it, the Deus people would be unable to move the giant ship that seems impossible to fly."

Loken sighed. "The Island Forgers, judging by their habits, like to blend themselves into machinery and metal. But the Master Forger's method of concealment is still admirable to me."

This habit of the Island Forgers can be seen from the inheritance information of the Furnace Guardian and Golem Rider professions. Leon nodded.

"Most of the remains were made of metal. We marveled at the ancients' ability to replace parts of the skeleton and internal organs with alloys and machinery. The activation key was disassembled into multiple pieces and forcibly inserted into various bone joints and mechanical organs."

Locke scratched his balding head. "It's precisely because he's been reduced to a skeleton for so long that we can see glittering things between the cracks in his remains, and thus obtain the activation key. I imagine that in the distant past, his spirituality could still mobilize magic power, and the mechanical part of his body also emitted energy fluctuations, which concealed those chip fragments with mysterious magical fluctuations.

"Do you know how to assemble the activation key?"

"Those fragments can reassemble themselves. Of course, Kalon half-negotiated and half-forced me to take on the task of repairing the chip. I was more curious about the wonder of the crashed warship, so I took the metal plate containing the information and went looking for it. This led to the current situation."

"Your old friend looks a lot like my former leader. No wonder they are working together now." Li Ang shrugged.

Locke laughed, shook his head, and said nothing more.

"The Furnace of Creation still has many secrets. We can explore the details later. It's getting late, and our plan must proceed steadily."

Leon glanced around the control console, then looked up and stared at the core of the furnace.

"Since the warship that crashed into the island already has a disintegration cannon, there's no need to rush to build one. We can then begin rescuing the workers and their families at the seven shipyards."

As he spoke, he operated the furnace of creation. The complex mechanical structure above it began to move again, and a little heat came out from the middle again.

"What are you going to do?" asked Dorothy, leaning over.

"I have some things I need to build, just in case. I'll use the remaining time to see how amazing this furnace is."

Leon smiled and looked at Zoe and Alulu: "I still owe you the sword and shield."

344. Dragon Rock Armor Core Sword

When Zoe mentioned the new equipment, she immediately let out a strange cry and jumped over from a distance. Then she jumped on the spot and clamped her legs directly around his waist. The impact and weight of the whole person were borne entirely by the poor sorcerer, and she almost knocked Leon against the console guardrail before she stopped.

This guy was getting stronger and stronger. If Leon didn't still have a little bit of warrior level, he would have been knocked off the guardrail.

I really need to find time to train for a physical class that strengthens my physique. If I'm used to ranged combat, the archer class is pretty good, Leon thought.

The reason why Zoe was so far away was because the wild cat couldn't bear to listen to people's conversation, and had already wandered to the edge of the platform, looking at every corner of the Furnace of Creation.

Alulu helped to support Leon. Although her desire for equipment was far lower than Zoe's, a good shield was essential to carry her extraordinary strength. Otherwise, fighting with a shield would be unnecessary, just like exercising in ill-fitting clothes would be a complete hindrance. So she was also looking forward to the new shield, which could be seen from the smile on her face.
