The Death List Novel - Chapter 246
Chapter 246 Forging
The half-plane trading square of the Chaos Alliance was extremely formal, and the shops inside were very carefully divided. Shops selling cold weapons such as swords and swords would not sell firearms, bows and arrows. Shops selling scrolls of offensive skills would not sell magical skills. If the price of the goods cannot be negotiated, the shop assistant will also be responsible for contacting the consignment apostles behind the goods to make the transaction as tenable as possible.
The cost of equipment consignment was higher than the auction house, but most of the equipment inside was more practical than the auction house. Many purple equipment looked better than the dark gold equipment in the auction house.
Of course, most of the physical goods in these shops were purple and bright gold. Equipment of dark gold quality and above, as well as high-level skill scrolls, were mostly sold by projection consignment, and the way they were traded was no different from the auction house.
Qin Lun circled around the shops in the first and second rings of the plaza and walked towards the third ring shop on the outermost floor. The shops here are located somewhat off the mark, but most of them do not sell finished products, but offer a variety of professional services. For example, equipment repair, leveling, enchantment, potion alchemy, inlaid artifact soul, scroll of rubbing skills, sealing summoning items, and so on.
After finding the third blacksmith shop on the left side of the Third Ring, Qin Lun quickly met Master Francis, who was mentioned by the Demon Demon Demon. This was an elderly dwarf with a gray beard hanging all the way to his belly. He wore goggles that resembled a pilot on his head and a dirty apron tied to his waist. He did not look like a master at all.
Francis stroked his white beard and said, “Your pair of light and dark funerals are very strange. The gun itself is only of purple quality. By relying on the Laws of the set of weapons, you can achieve purple-gold quality …” ‘”The praise of the angels and the song of the demons are of excellent quality. With my skills, it’s no problem to upgrade them to dark gold quality, but …” Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk.
“Master Francis, if you have any questions, please speak frankly!” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he smiled.
‘”The connection between sets of weapons is very elusive. I can level them up to Dark Gold as a single weapon. However, there is a certain chance that their connection will be destroyed. In other words, even if they each level up to Dark Gold, the combined set attributes may not be able to break through to Legendary Domain!”
“It’s like this!” Qin Lun frowned slightly. The reason given by the Gunner was reasonable. He couldn’t help but believe it. However, Qin Lun didn’t want to give up just like that. “Grandmaster, do you think their set attributes need to meet any other requirements to break through to the Legendary realm?”
‘”Mm … first, there must be suitable refining materials, and second, there must be suitable artifact souls. These two firearms have opposite attributes. I feel that if they want to break through to the Legendary Domain, a single artifact soul is not enough. They must have two artifact souls with the same attributes!” The old dwarf said slowly, “Moreover … even if everything is ready, I only have seven levels of confidence!”
“Master Francis, do you think these things will work?” Qin Lun heaved a sigh of relief and poured all the pieces of equipment and materials he had prepared into the storage space onto the Gunner’s workbench. In addition, the card sealing the soul of the unicorn and the Mesa Crystal Ball hosting the soul of the witch Mesa were placed aside.
‘”Yi, Bai Yaoshi … No, no, this is Bai Yaoshi alloy, this is … Lu Yingtie, Silver Dragon Skin, Hellfire Gold … The quality of these things has deteriorated a lot, and most of them are smelted mixtures! Where did you get such precious … garbage!” Looking at the pile of equipment and materials on the table, the dwarf widened his eyes and did not conceal his surprise.
“Trash?” Qin Lun rubbed his nose embarrassedly.
‘”Their quality is undeniable, but they are all smelted alloy products. If it weren’t for the blacksmithing residue of the equipment, then … you wouldn’t have dug up a scrap warehouse for the equipment of an apostle, right?” Francis blew a whitebeard at Qin Lun.
“Almost!” Qin Lun smiled bitterly. This pile of things came from the hill cave. The skeletons of their owners had become the dolls of the small hill giants, and their age was no longer verifiable. It was not wrong to say that they were scrap warehouses.
“Master, are they useless?” Qin Lun sighed.
“En … if we spend some time to break them down, they can be considered precious materials, but … it’s not helpful to the upgrading of the Light and Dark Burial!” Francis stared at the materials and licked his lips.
“How long will it take for the materials to decompose?” Qin Lun asked with a frown.
“It will take about a month and a half to completely disintegrate!” The old dwarf calculated with his fingers and gave a rough time.
“Too long!” Qin Lun shook his head helplessly. A month and a half had passed for him. The three mission worlds had all passed. He had promoted the Light and Dark Burial to catch up with the city’s battle for supremacy, so it was urgent for him to do so.
“If you’re in a hurry, then there’s only one way!” Francis wasn’t surprised by Qin Lun’s urgency at all. He stroked his beard and said, “I do have some supplementary materials suitable for burial. However, they are definitely not as valuable as yours. If …”
“Deal!” Without waiting for Francis to finish, Qin Lun said resolutely, “This pile of things is for your materials, and the labor costs are calculated separately.”
‘”Haha, I, Francis, will not take advantage of you for nothing. Including the amount of manpower you have to break down this pile of things, it’s about 5,000 broken crystals higher than the materials I’m going to pay for. The manpower cost for raising the Light and Dark Burial is about 30,000 broken crystals. You can just pay 25,000 broken crystals!” Francis glared at Qin Lun, seemingly very unhappy.
“Alright, then … Master, do you think the other two artifact souls work together?” Qin Lun flatteringly pointed at the Unicorn Card and the Maya Crystal Ball.
‘”Yes, I checked just now. The unicorn soul in the unicorn card has been wiped out of its consciousness. It fits perfectly with the praise of an angel. However, the other dark soul … seems to have a clear consciousness?” Francis said hesitantly, “I am a gun blacksmith, not an executioner. You must erase this soul consciousness yourself, or I will not forge it!”
“Sure! As long as you teach me how to do it!” Qin Lun agreed without hesitation. After hesitating for a moment, he took out three types of bullet moulds from his storage space. “Master, these bullet moulds should still be useful after the funeral.”
“There’s such a thing?” Francis’s eyes lit up and he hurriedly snatched three different types of moulds from Qin Lun. After looking at them for a while, he frowned and said, “Do you have any of these three types of moulds on you? Show them to me!”
Qin Lun’s eyes lit up and he immediately took out all the bullets from his storage space and piled them on Francis’s workbench.
“Tsk tsk, what a skillful job. The firearms master who made the funeral procession in the dark and light is truly a genius. No wonder I always felt that these firearms were strange just now.” Francis’s eyes shone as he carefully stroked the mold of the firearms and bullets.
“Master, is there anything strange about the funeral?” Qin Lun asked curiously.
‘”Yes, the funeral ritual of light and darkness is essentially a technological weapon. However, there are magic runes carved on the body of the spear. Originally, the two laws could not be fused together. However, the genius gunner perfectly solved this problem by using a bullet mold. He fused magic into the firearm and gave the bullet mold a technological mode of physical attack …”
Francis sighed. “This is a genius design, but … the Light-Dark Burial is probably just his early work. He hasn’t completely fused the two Laws. That’s why the Light-Dark Burial hasn’t shown the true power of the Violet Gold equipment!”
“Master Francis, can you unearth all the potential of the Light and Darkness Burial?” Qin Lun rolled his eyes and asked cautiously.
Francis solemnly said, “I can only do my best! However, adding a bullet mold will make the refining process very complicated and the success rate will be reduced. I need more supplementary materials, especially containers related to the fusion soul. Only your apostles’ high-grade evaluation cards can be exchanged from the shattered starry sky …”
“Master, the level of this thing should be enough!” Qin Lun’s eyes turned ruthless. Without waiting for the old dwarf to finish speaking, he flipped his right hand and a silver card appeared between his index finger and middle finger.
“Silver card!” Francis licked his lips and said somewhat dryly, “Enough, let me see … Eh, isn’t this the Silver Card of the Low Demon World …”
“Sir, do you really want to use this thing?” Francis said with some regret.
The apostles who could obtain silver cards after entering the Middle Demon World were usually only high-level apostles. Even though the Demon Silver Card was not as precious as a legendary item, it was still extremely rare and difficult to assess its specific value.
“Light and darkness funeral service is very important to me. As long as I can make it step into the Legendary Domain, it’s worth paying any price!” Qin Lun gently shook his head. “If I have enough materials, then I’ll come back to get my weapon in a few days!”
“In a few days? Oh, looks like this is the first time you’ve upgraded your apostle equipment!” Francis was stunned, then smiled and said, “It won’t be long before you come with me. In any case, you have to help me erase the consciousness of that dark soul during the forging process.”
Qin Lun was slightly stunned as he followed Francis into the back hall of the blacksmith shop.
“What is this?” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he stared at the glittering transparent furnace in the middle of the backyard. This thing was simply like a three-dimensional projection shining with golden light. There was no physical object at all.
‘”Haha, this is a Law Reactor separated from the core of the city. The Reactor is actually a magic furnace made of light elements. Only it can forge, upgrade, and repair the equipment of the apostles. Otherwise, do you think I would use a hammer to knock on your light and darkness for burial?” Francis said cheerfully.
Moments later, with Qin Lun’s help, Francis piled up all the materials on the workbench in front of the reactor.
“Let’s get started!” Francis wore a bald head with a reaction furnace attached to it. At the same time, he opened the furnace door in the middle of the reactor and placed the light and darkness in the center. Then, he opened a few small doors on both sides of the reactor and placed the equipment materials into the furnaces one by one.
One way to produce apostle equipment was to equip them with materials, reaction furnaces, and master blacksmiths who controlled the refining process. The apostle equipment produced in this way was more applicable than the equipment directly distributed to the apostles from the shattered starry sky, and possessed a more complete world law.
“Add a bullet mold …”
“Insert a Silver Card into the artifact soul container …”
“Now, remove the seal on the unicorn card and drive the dark soul into the reaction furnace …”
‘”Ah ~ ~ ~” Witch Mesa’s shrill and venomous howls and the loud unicorn’s howls echoed in the reactor.
The light and darkness were buried in the colorful light of the reaction furnace, and the two spears began to emit red and bright light, scattering out resplendent rays of light. At the same time, the three bullet molds began to slowly melt, gradually forming two distinct clumps of metal solution, one white and one black.
