The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

“You’re right,” Venere nodded in agreement, “but let me ask you, which craftsman thinks he can surpass Tauronio in skill?”

"this..."

Lisette couldn't answer.

Tauronio's position in the artisan world is as unshakeable as that of the hero among the heralds.

“I think I can do it,” Wiener answered himself.

"You really have a thick skin."

What started as a rather confrontational exchange turned into a hilarious moment when Venus's interruption made Lissie burst into laughter.

“But not now.” Viner shook the wooden stick in his hand and added, “Since no one can surpass Tauronio in skill for the time being, it is impossible for anyone to forge a weapon of the same quality using the same materials.”

"That's why no one has been able to create an S-rank weapon since Tauronio. Because their vision has been limited to that."

As he spoke, Wiener circled the area for material annotation on the drawing with a stick, and then drew a big X over it.

"So what's your solution?" Lisette suddenly asked, a hint of curiosity in her voice.

Although everything Venere said sounded like nonsense to her, she didn't dislike his confident demeanor.

“Just pile up the materials,” Wiener answered directly.

Wiener must state that he has never shown any contempt for material stacking.

I just envy others who have the resources to squander a large amount of precious materials, while I can only struggle with a few pieces of broken iron ore.

But, times have changed.

He, Wiener, could finally forge his own works in this extravagant way.

"I've had this blueprint for a while now, but I haven't been in a hurry to use it. Instead, I've been taking out the materials on this ingredient list and experimenting with them to see if there are any better alternatives for similar materials."

"The conclusion is that using a special metal material for the staff can actually achieve better magic conductivity."

To corroborate her statement, Venere pulled out a stack of papers from under the workbench and handed them to Lisette.

Lisette gently flipped through the pages, looking at these meticulously crafted records, and felt Wiener's expectations for this work.

“Besides, this Staff of Tyrhunth isn’t something that’s been forged for someone else to use,” Viner added.

"Then you are—" Lisette was about to ask when she saw Venus staring straight at her, her little hand instinctively pointing at her, "Me?"

“Otherwise?” Wiener retorted.

He wouldn't have gone to such lengths to forge a wand if it weren't for Lysette.

“Vina, I appreciate your kindness,” Listy said, feeling a warmth in her heart, but she still worried, “The Staff of Tyrhunth can only be used by members of the Bebert family.”

She finally understood why Vena had modified the Staff of Tyr's: she simply didn't want him to spend so much effort only to have it all go to waste.

"That's a problem with Tyr's Staff, not mine. Look at Felix, he's doing just fine with Amra, isn't he?"

Venere then brought up another example of a hero's legacy, leaving Lisette completely speechless.

"You don't need to feel pressured. Even if you fail this time, just start over with your plan."

“Alright,” Lisette finally gave in to Vena. “Just tell me if you need my help, and I’ll do whatever you say.”

“It just so happens that I need your help with something.” Venere suddenly revealed a smug expression.

He then dropped the stick, grabbed Lisette's hand, and led her to the heart of the blazing iron giant.

Looking at the giant's heart before her, Lisette felt a strange premonition rise within her. She frowned and said, "You wouldn't be thinking of—"

"I want to use this giant's heart as the core of my wand. But my furnace isn't hot enough to process it."

"It's rare to find such a complete giant's heart; cutting it open would be such a waste. Could you find a way to melt away the outer layer and keep only the most essential part?"

Wiener expressed her expectations.

Use flames to melt the heart of a fire-attribute giant.

If anyone else had made that request, Lisette would have wanted to curse them out.

"If I weren't here, what would you have done with this giant's heart?"

"Then we'll have no choice but to swallow our pride and ask Tilissa for help."

Vina pondered that since Tilisa could vaporize the Armor of Calamity, fusing the Heart of a Giant should be no problem for her as well.

“Then there’s no need to trouble Teacher Tilissa with such a small matter,” Lisette said, as if a competitive spirit had risen within her. “I’ll do it.”

Chapter 390 The Heart of the Giant, Fusion

Refining the heart of a giant is no easy task.

Moreover, the Giant's Heart possesses fire attributes, which doubles the difficulty.

Even Lisette has to give it her all.

Lisette took a deep breath, focused her mind, and the emblem began to shimmer with a warm light.

As she focused her mind, the light gradually transformed into a blazing flame in her hand.

This flame, condensed from the power of the emblem, has a temperature far exceeding that of ordinary flames; only in this way can the heart of this molten iron giant be melted.

With the power of dual emblems, Lisette's absorption and conversion speed of magic essence is significantly higher than others.

However, as a trade-off, the difficulty of controlling the power of the emblem also increases exponentially.

Therefore, she would not use her emblem power unless absolutely necessary.

It was only after training with Tilissa and undergoing rigorous practice that he was able to achieve such precise control.

"Do you want me to cheer you on from the sidelines?"

Wiener suddenly interrupted.

"Go about your own business!"

Lisette angrily chased Venus away, and the flames in her hands began to flicker.

After Venere left, she carefully placed the flame on the giant's heart, melting its outer shell little by little as if she were meticulously carving it.

As if sensing a threat, the Giant's Heart began to emit an even hotter flame in an attempt to resist Lisette's fire.

But all of this was within her expectations.

Lisette slowly adjusted the temperature and intensity of the flames, creating a stalemate with the Giant's Heart.

Seeing that the work on Lisette's side would not be completed in a short time, Venus stepped back to the other side and began to prepare for the remaining tasks.

He took a brocade box, carefully opened it, and under the thick silk cloth, a piece of the Frost Giant's Heart was revealed, only half the size of the Molten Iron Giant's Heart.

It is said that when Tauronio forged the Staff of Tyr's, he took the Frostfire Demon as his inspiration and used two magic cores with completely opposite attributes, employing a special method to keep it stable.

With just a little magic, its power can be multiplied by the wand.

It's easier said than done.

Trying to combine mutually exclusive attributes, where each contains elements of the other, and maintain stability, is no easy task.

The Frostfire Demon achieved this through his racial talent, while Tauronio accomplished it through his exquisite forging skills.

When later generations tried to replicate this legendary staff, they mostly encountered difficulties at this crucial step.

No matter how hard they racked their brains, they couldn't imagine how Tauronio had managed to do that.

Wiener, however, had some different ideas.

The fourteen heroic legacies were forged in different periods of time.

Although they were all listed separately by later generations and revered as S-rank weapons, there are indeed subtle differences between them.

The world regards the legacy of heroes as the pinnacle of human achievement, but no one realizes that even in the process of forging the legacy of heroes, Tauronio's skills continued to improve.

If he had been given ten more years of life, Tauronio might have actually been able to create a man-made holy sword.

The creation of Tyr's Staff occurred right after Ademura.

Both the design concept and the forging techniques still bear the mark of Admiral.

Unfortunately, Ademura's blueprints were completely lost long ago with the extinction of the Lafner family's bloodline.

There was no backup, and no one was able to reconstruct this weapon blueprint.

This indirectly made Wiener the only blacksmith who could perceive the connection between the two weapons.

"You'll know how it works once you try it."

Instead of being hesitant and timid, it's better to think of something and do it.

Vena threw the Heart of the Frost Giant into the furnace, instantly escalating the furnace's heat to its maximum.

The icy outer shell began to peel away layer by layer under the licking of the flames.

This giant's heart, though a rare treasure, is still quite different from the heart produced by a demon apostle.

Thanks to this, Wiener was able to process the material himself.

The two magic cores used as the core of Tyr's Staff should ideally be roughly the same size.

If the two sides are vastly different in strength, maintaining stability becomes much more difficult.

Fortunately, the Frost Giant's Heart and the Fiery Iron Giant's Heart are born from the same source, and thus have an innate compatibility.

As for the difference in scale, Wiener will naturally find a way to make up for it.

"Have some backbone!"

Wiener first closed his eyes and prayed, hoping that his newly replaced stove could withstand the noise.

Then, the Frost Giant's Heart was flipped over, with the bottom, where the burned hole had been, facing upwards, and a piece of black iron was quickly thrown into it.

As soon as the black iron entered the hole, it fused perfectly with the heart of the frost giant, as if they were originally one.

This process was accompanied by a burst of intense cold air, and crackling sounds constantly emanated from inside the furnace. The flames nearly went out several times, but stubbornly persisted.

With the integration of the Black Iron, the Heart of the Frost Giant was completely transformed.

The ice crystal shell completely fell away, revealing a deep core that shimmered with a cold light.

Seeing this, Venus breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the progress on Lisette's side.

Lisette's side is also progressing well; the outer shell of the Giant's Heart is gradually melting, revealing the essence inside.

Even the aftershocks emitted were enough to make people feel its powerful aura.

Seeing this, Viner decided to go all in and throw in the last piece of black gold cold iron.

At first, there was no change, but once the Frost Heart mixed with cold iron absorbed enough heat, the cold light suddenly surged, swallowing up the surrounding heat.

The furnace couldn't withstand such torment, and the flames inside were extinguished instantly.

After that, Frostheart seemed not to be satisfied, and transformed into a stream of light, rushing towards the most powerful heat source in the workshop.

"Watch out!" Wiener hurriedly warned.

What are you doing?!

The intense fluctuations emanating from the Frostheart were impossible for Lisette to ignore.

But the blazing iron heart in her hand suddenly resonated in a special way with the icy heart.

Suddenly bursting forth with scorching fire element, it instantly melted the remaining outer shell, then broke free from Listy's control and flew towards the Frostheart.

The blazing red light and the icy blue light intertwined as the two giant hearts collided at an astonishing speed.

Two distinct forces began to converge and merge, forming a new and more intense one—

"boom!!!"

A violent explosion.

The entire workshop shook as if it had been hit by an earthquake.

But this didn't seem to be the end. After a brief period of weakening, the two giant hearts, which had already shown signs of merging, once again emitted an unstable magical fluctuation.

"boom!!!"

This explosion was much more violent, like a typhoon passing through, leaving the workshop in a complete mess.
