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

Zoe slammed the table and said, "I paid for the Everlasting Summer!"

"That's from Anna," said Dorothy.

"What's Anna's is mine."

"Wow, what kind of bully are you? I'm impressed. You want to be the deputy leader when you're so immature?!"

"Hey, be quiet." Li Ang was already suffering from the strange looks from the tables next to him.

The girls ignored his words at this moment, and the situation became tense and the conflict became more intense.

Leon remembered that Wildcat and Canary had fought in the Glittering Fields, and if they were to fight this time, it would have to be a melee involving at least four people.

With Livy beside him joining in the cheering and screaming, and Meimei looking at him with a smile on her face, as if waiting to see how he would end it, Leon's temples began to throb.

"Those bickering beautiful girls, aren't they from the 'Star Flower Troupe'? The one that saved the Rudder City?"

The words of a person at the next table reached the ears of the sharp-eyed and sharp-eared problem girls, and their noisy actions suddenly stopped.

"...I can, I can also rub Leon's back..." Zoe stuttered. The topic had already developed to a point where it was so strange that it was difficult to end, but they cared about what others said, their attention was diverted, and they found it difficult to continue what they were saying.

"Shh, it seems like someone heard you." said the person at the table next to him.

"Well, the Sky Knight is agile, but it does seem to be just as described in the rumors."

Li Ang's table suddenly became quiet.

The girls had different expressions on their faces. They realized that they had just exposed their evil thoughts, and they were all a little embarrassed and didn't dare to look at Li Ang.

"Well, you see, there are still people who know about us." Dorothy forced a smile and started a new topic.

"It's time to pass it on."

Li Ang nodded, then covered his face and sighed, "So when will you be able to stand on your own? Even if I'm recognized, I don't want to admit it."

"I know. Let's talk about it when we get back to the ship," said Zoe.

"That's not how I understand it... Never mind, I'll just ask Sister Falin for help."

Leon looked at Farina.

Farina, who had not participated in the topic just now and had a faint smile on her face, raised her eyebrows at Leon, crossed her arms, and showed off her fullness under her fiery red robe.

"I might suddenly leave because of my agent work. I'm the least suitable person to be the deputy group leader." Farina said with a chuckle.

“There is indeed such a connection.”

Li Ang didn't say much, but he felt something was strange.

At the pinnacle of her soul, Farina would indeed disappear because of this incident, but due to the bond between her friends, she would definitely come back. Based on Leon's understanding of her, she would not directly refuse this matter. At this moment, Farina felt a slight sense of detachment.

Was it because his close relationship with the girls made her feel too uncomfortable that she thought about leaving the Star Flower Troupe?

It is difficult to be sure about Li Ang, because she was very serious when she joined the group. According to this older sister's habit, she would not leave the group at will.

But since Meng Ran brought the subject back and the girls were about to riot, Li Ang could only quickly come up with a temporary solution.

"How about this, we take turns to be the 'temporary deputy leader', and then select the most suitable person based on their performance.

This option gave everyone a chance, so the girls did not object.

Dinner went on as normal, and Zoe finally seized the opportunity to ask about her parents' concerns: "Leon, I was just interrupted by them. What did they find out about that shoe?"

"It's 'Yijiehui'. The name of the meeting means being in the middle and being in the middle."

Li Ang said, "According to their spies throughout the country, especially within the Empire, they may have confirmed that your parents were present at several previous instances of the Star Soul appearing. Those incidents were mistaken for riots by the Island King."

What can be confirmed is that Zoe's parents did fight against the Eye of God and even against the star souls controlled by them.

If it weren't for this couple, the empire might now control more star soul power.

Meimei seemed very excited, and Leon understood her thoughts - in her world line, without Zoe, there might not be that couple, so the empire could summon an endless supply of star souls.

But in this world line, why did the Empire take action earlier? There is currently insufficient information.

"And the last place you might see Zoe's father is in the Giant's Garden."

Dorothy's expression froze.

"You don't have to force yourself to go back. It's okay for us to just be passers-by and inquire." Li Ang said to her.

"What are you afraid of?"

The half-elf managed to maintain his aura: "That family was able to rise to prominence because of the secret method of monster taming that my mother gave them. Logically, they owe me. Why should I be afraid?"

"We'll tell you when the time comes. It's still early to go there, and the Giant Garden is located in the heart of Ignis Skyspace. We may not have a chance to pass through the Imperial defense line."

Li Ang said, "The focus isn't on the Giant Garden, but on the Imperial Parade. Zoe's father might be following the Imperial high-ranking officials, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate him."

Everyone was silent for a while, digesting this information, and then Leon told them about the Kingdom of Gold, a dwarf kingdom where not even legends remained.

Leon's guess about the worm dragon was confirmed by Farina.

"Yes, the special thing about this type of dragon is that they need to 'devour', 'corrupt', and 'occupy' some precious things."

Farina said, "Just as sea serpents need the ocean, fairy dragons need forests and the stories of their inhabitants, red dragons need treasures, and black dragons need to destroy civilization, the nature of worm dragons is to corrupt and steal in the material dimension. You have also seen this on Mengze Island."

Li Ang felt that what she said about the needs of the dragon clan was somewhat similar to the "forest system" established when the hatchery was built.

"These characteristics of the dragon race may be related to the fact that their dragon ancestors are fragments of the Creator God. The presence of these things in the material dimension can nourish them more quickly."

"What about Liulong?" Meimei asked.

"They are the opposite of the Dragon Ancestor, the most positive force of the Creator God, and will rise along with the tide of various forces in the world."

After dinner, there was a short period of free time, and then everyone returned to the ship to spend the night. After receiving the commission the next morning, they set sail directly.

Having your own boat makes things very convenient, and basically everything can be done within one to two days.

Due to Dorothy's advocacy and her expertise in clerical work, she was appointed acting deputy head of the first round.

After arranging these, Leon returned to the Eternal Summer, went into the forge, and began to try to forge the Scepter of Arunak.

375. Volcano Clan

The magic furnace was filled with energy, and flames lit up, shrouding the entire forge in heat.

The heat was only a surface phenomenon. The real beauty of this place was the magic field generated indoors. The flames of the magic furnace could be directed to the desired location at will, allowing for precise processing of materials. Although it could not be compared with the Orichalcum Furnace or the Mechanical Furnace, this was still a first-class forging room.

This is the mystery of the path provided by the system, which transcends many of the current rules of Newbis.

Leon pulled out a long stick that looked like white jade. It was the rib of a large demon wolf. It was huge in size and good at manipulating magic power. It could control pure magic matter to create various sharp blades and spells for attack.

This rib has excellent magic transmission performance. After processing, the two curved parts were cut off, and the rest was polished straight and engraved with magic patterns, becoming a good material for a staff.

Of course, this kind of material can only produce an ordinary staff of excellence. Even if Leon relies on the 6th-level equipment manufacturing skill and uses a reasonable combination of materials to break through the threshold to produce excellent equipment, the effectiveness of this rib will be better.

Therefore, what he valued was actually the good spiritual activity of this material.

It is the active spirit within it that ensures the transmission of its magical power.

The magic field regulated the flames from the furnace to surge out, burning around the ribs, making the spirits inside more active little by little. They pulled the magic power and made the bone stick glow. This was actually because the thick fire elements around it were lured in and began to melt its exterior.

Li Ang felt the profound information in the jade piece and took out the rune bark carefully.

The manufacturing process of the Arunak Staff is not fully understood, and there are many ambiguities. It records information through spiritual manipulation, and what it conveys is not a skill that can be repeatedly scrutinized, but a "feeling".

Since the ultimate effect of this magic wand is to be "closely connected to the blood and soul of the holder", in order to achieve this effect, one must incorporate one's own spiritual thread into the manufacturing process, and what to do afterwards, only the creator will know.

Leon closed his eyes, connected his spiritual thread to the bone stick by casting a spell to steal, and connected it with the spirit in the rune bark, wrapping the white jade-like stick with it bit by bit.

The three spirits merged into one, the matter also merged with each other, the magic power flowed, Leon's thoughts connected with it, and the final material needed for the Arunak Scepter was also displayed before his eyes -

The source of heart and blood, something connected to life.

Li Ang was stunned. This meant... a part of his body? And it had to be a spiritually rich part, like his heart or eyes.

Can they survive with their hearts removed? Leon had only seen them use dark power as sacrifices during their previous campaigns against the demihuman tribes, transforming themselves into undead creatures to hide their vital organs, or even directly refine them into magical weapons.

But Li Ang knew nothing about this method. Could spiritual operations also involve these things?

The evil nature of it shocked him. He didn't expect to encounter such obstacles in making this special equipment. He didn't know how to proceed for a while.

At this very moment, the spirit and magic power that had just been firmly entangled began to riot and instantly fled. The staff wrapped in bark shook and most of it shattered.

The impact of the explosion spread out, Leon used the devil's hand to block the actual magic explosion, and pinched his palm to kill the spirit in chaos.

"Oh, that's all."

Manufacturing equipment is always accompanied by failures, but he has never failed thanks to the assistance of the system. This is just a normal process.

He really couldn't decide what to provide it?

According to the information conveyed by the spiritual activity at that moment, the hands, feet and limbs are not enough; it is necessary to activate the part of the body that is spiritually extremely concentrated.

If not the heart, then it must be some important organ.

The problem is, how to preserve it after it is removed and how to recover and heal it?

Without this certainty, Leon would not be able to forge the Scepter of Arunaq and obtain the spell of Secret Steal.

Of course, he might be able to succeed by learning from Odin in Norse mythology and sacrificing his eyes for knowledge, but he couldn't make up his mind.

Well, I'll see what happens if I really encounter a powerful enemy that I have to sacrifice my body to defeat.

Half of the rune bark was still usable, so Leon collected it, turned off the magic furnace, cleaned up the traces in the forge, and left, heading for the monster breeding center.

This time, we have purchased the materials needed for Salamanda, and spent a lot of money.

The nursery still looked like a brand new world. Leon crossed the plain and headed towards the volcanic area. Farina the Fiery Winged Dragon looked up at him, then lay down again and rolled comfortably in the pit of volcanic ash.

A stream of light emerged from the forest area, flying around Li Ang happily, conveying the joy in his heart.

Slud, who grew up in the woods by absorbing the power of the forest, has arrived.

The fairy dragon was like a wide cloak of a special shape, or like a furry backpack, lying behind Leon, with its head sticking out from the side of his ear, and its dreamy eyes blinking, conveying joyful thoughts.

Raising his hand and caressing her a few times, Li Ang took Xiaolong into the depths of the volcanic area.

Next to the lava river, there is a pit on a raised rock pile, which is the volcanic area's feeding trough.

Following the system prompts, Leon took out a magic container and poured the lava in it into the pit.

These life lavas were just as their name suggested, as if they had come alive. They bounced a few times like jelly and tried to crawl out of the pit, like some soft-bodied monster.

However, a certain force that Leon could not explain seemed to come from the rocks in the volcanic area, which immediately dispersed the lava. It honestly returned to its normal lava state and calmed down little by little.

Li Ang used magic power to wrap the smoldering flint and suspend it, and placed it one by one according to the system information, forming a crucible-like ring.

Finally, Leon put the Salamander egg, whose mucus had become thinner, into it.

They had been nurtured when he acquired the Dragon Summoner profession, and their vitality was well preserved. Unlike the Fairy Dragon, the system prompted that Salamanders could be raised in groups, and a group only occupied one breeding slot.

The fire-feathered lizard eggs, covered with gray-white mucus, sank into the magma, and the red fluid instantly covered their surface tightly, as if these eggs were originally hot flint.

The monster egg, which had turned red-hot, happened to fall onto the smoldering flint in the lava. Sparks flew out, causing the lava to explode. Then, a column of fire spurted out from the flint, fiercely roasting the lizard egg.

These monsters originally came from volcanoes, and the contact of their eggs with fire is not a cooking process, but rather some kind of wonderful natural wonder of Newbis.

[Hint: Salamander eggs have begun to hatch. Time remaining: 30 minutes]

Huh?

Leon didn't expect that it would take three days for a fairy dragon to be born, while Salamander only needed half an hour.

Is it because of their low status? However, ordinary fairy dragons wouldn't necessarily be higher in rank than Salamanders. Otherwise, the Linden family wouldn't have been able to dominate Spark Island until they were conquered by the rising empire.

Deep in the volcano, groups of Salamanders will only obey the control of the fire dragon. At other times, they themselves are a very threatening tribe.

Since the time was short, Leon waited there, ready to witness the hatching of Salamander with his own eyes.

The power of the smoldering flint was consumed bit by bit, eventually completely lighting up the Salamander Egg.

Just like the fairy dragon felt when it entered the incubation forest system, Leon felt a charred, dull and powerful feeling. Because of his previous experience, he knew that this was undoubtedly a volcanic system.

In the breath of the volcano, three monster eggs shining in the lava cave began to hatch.

The eggshell melted and flowed almost instantly, connecting with the surrounding lava, and the curled-up little life inside shook and unfolded its body.

They look like small salamanders, about the same size. When they are born, they are only as long as Li Ang's palm, but their eyes are like burning sparks, which can be seen at a glance that they are extraordinary.

Three Salamanders swam in the lava, and the life lava began to turn back into gelatin and flow towards their bodies.

Leon could feel that the volcanic system was pouring the power of these life lava into the bodies of the three fire-feathered lizards. Their delicate scales seemed to be gilded by the lava, covered with a layer of crystal and hot outer scales.

When the lava was completely absorbed, Leon saw that some of it did not penetrate the surface of the scales, but condensed on their forelimbs and back of the neck, forming clusters of lava bubbles.

Salamander shook its body, and the lava cracked and flowed, with red feathers extending from it.
