The Death List Novel - Chapter 451
Chapter 451 Equipment Forging
Qin Lun carefully walked towards the edge of the stone platform and discovered that there were actually protective measures in place on the trading floor at a height of ten thousand feet. There was a thin transparent shield around the stone platform, which looked inconspicuous. However, he tried to press it and found that it was elastic enough to withstand the damage of a huge force.
“Noble Lord, this is your first time coming to the trading plane of the Order-keeping Alliance, right?” A delicate female voice came from behind Qin Lun. When he looked back, he discovered that it was a beautiful female elf dressed in an employee uniform.
“Please register your ID card. Without confirmation, you will not be able to complete the transaction!” When the female elf saw Qin Lun turn around, she smiled and handed over a ball-shaped identity card inserter.
Qin Lun took out his identity card and scratched it through the card inserter. He smiled and asked, “Aren’t the guests worried about the safety of trading on such a high-altitude platform?”
“Your Excellency, you don’t know that the materials that make up this stone platform are not ordinary stones, but cloudstones. These cloudstones are related to the laws of the Half Plane. As long as the Half Plane does not collapse, this platform will not be in danger.” The female elf explained with a professional smile on her face.
After Qin Lun drew the card, his ID card automatically reduced the number of broken crystals by 500. Unlike the circular trading floor of the Chaos Alliance, the trading floor of the Sequencing Alliance had a service charge. Of course, it wasn’t directly taken away. After paying 500 broken crystals, the female elf gave him ten small tokens that were similar to casino chips.
“What about the surrounding barrier?” Qin Lun took the service chips and asked curiously.
The female elf pointed at the distant platform and said, “That’s just to protect the platform from the static electricity in the void. Please look below the platform …”
Qin Lun raised his eyes and looked around. Sure enough, he noticed that lightning would occasionally flash past the clouds slightly below the platform. It looked very dazzling.
The young man’s eyes lit up and he didn’t ask again. This kind of phenomenon was beautiful, but it was definitely not as dangerous as the elven waiter had said. There should be other reasons for setting up the half-plane trading field here on the order-keeping front. However, he had no intention of exploring these mysteries.
“Tell me about the trading rules here!” Qin Lun looked up at the platform and found that there weren’t many apostles on the trading plane, which made him seem a little lonely. Immediately, he frowned slightly and flicked his finger. A chip of 50 broken crystals drew a beautiful arc in the air and landed in the hands of the elven waiter.
The smile on the female elf’s face did not change, but her words became even more enthusiastic. “My lord, the transaction of the Order-keeping Alliance is somewhat similar to the auction house at the Horn of the Devil. There are not many attendants. It is in the form of automatic sales …”
Listening to the elven waiter’s explanation, Qin Lun discovered that the stall in the middle of the trading platform was actually not a physical one, but a demonstration image of some projectors. This kind of square projector was similar to the equipment discrimination glasses of the Chaos Alliance. It could also display the equipment attributes and skills, including its materials, and whether it could continue advancing.
However, compared to equipment identification glasses, it can store information about multiple items of equipment, and it can also perform simple inquiries and transaction operations like a vending machine. At the same time, it can also be used as a communication device to contact the seller of equipment items directly.
“Your Excellency, the Demon Horn Auction Device is actually an enlarged version of this item. Back then, this technique was provided to the Apostle City by the Order-keeping Alliance.” The elven waiter briefly introduced.
“En!” Qin Lun nodded noncommittally and asked calmly, “Apart from equipment items, do you have alchemy and forging services in the half-plane?”
“Of course!” The elf attendant nodded respectfully. “In the lower right corner of the platform, there is a row of projectors that can contact the alchemists, blacksmiths, and runemasters of the Corner of the Devil. As long as you negotiate the price and time with these masters, they will enter the specific alchemy room of the Order-keeping Alliance through the portal.”
“There’s also a specific alchemy room? Isn’t it on the trading platform?” Qin Lun was slightly surprised. He forged the Light and Dark Burial in the Chaos Alliance, and it was done directly in the Alchemy Shop of the Half Plane.
“The trading platform can’t accommodate too many alchemy rooms. Those rooms were created separately.” The elven waiter smiled and shook his head. “There are some customized equipment belonging to the apostles. After signing the refining contract, the masters will enter a specific alchemy room.
This kind of alchemy room could only be opened by the owner of the equipment and the upper echelons of the Order Keeping Alliance. After the refining was over, the masters would personally notify the apostles to come and retrieve the equipment. In the meantime, they will be restricted to a certain extent from moving freely. ”
Kieran nodded his head in understanding. Professional equipment customized by the apostles was generally more valuable, and to some extent, it was a personal secret, requiring certain confidentiality and security measures.
After witnessing the half planes of the Chaos Alliance and the Sequential Front, Kieran came to a new understanding of the value of this half plane. Not only did this half-plane on the order-keeping front carry unpredictable dangers, it also appeared to be small in size. The other alchemy room was simply too small to accommodate this half-plane.
Considering that there were several large teams, hundreds of small apostle teams, and thousands of professional apostles on the order-keeping front, it could be seen how rare and precious this half-plane was. No wonder so many apostolic cities interfered in the division of the Holy City of Atlantis. He didn’t hesitate to start a war of urban hegemony.
“Alright, I don’t need you here anymore!” As Qin Lun pondered, he threw another service chip to the elf attendant. After the female elf bowed and left, he walked towards the projector that contacted the alchemist and blacksmith.
“Eh, Master Francis?” On a row of projectors representing blacksmiths, Qin Lun was surprised to discover a familiar name. He took a closer look at the blacksmith’s head and discovered that he was indeed a dwarf blacksmith master who had once built a funeral for him.
…
“Young man, you want to forge … hmm? Are you … Qin Lun?”
On the screen of the projector, an old dwarf with a gray beard and pilots goggles quickly appeared. Old Francis was still the same, wearing a dirty apron around his waist. Even though he received the video projection, he was still busy in his alchemy shop.
However, when the old dwarf saw the video, his eyes lit up. He wiped the grease on his apron and picked up the projection video.
“Master, it seems that you recognize me!” Qin Lun said with a smile.
‘”Of course. Although I have only improved the quality of the Light and Dark Graveyard based on my predecessors, this is the only legendary weapon I have forged in my life. How could I not remember it? Besides, you took those legendary firearms from me for only a month. I’m not old enough to even remember what happened 30 days ago, am I?” The old dwarf curled his lips in dissatisfaction.
“More than 30 days?” Qin Lun’s eyes were slightly absent-minded. After pondering for a moment, he sighed faintly.
During the city wars, he stayed in the Broken Star System for about a month, and then he experienced the Hunter World and Toril World in succession. Based on the local time of the shattered starry sky, there were only thirty days left.
“Oh, I forgot. I can’t talk about time with your apostles. Your month of adventure may be comparable to the lives of other intelligent creatures.” Francis rubbed his hands awkwardly with his apron, his old face wrinkled into a ball.
“Nothing. The life of an apostle is not something to be envious of. Perhaps by the next month, I will have disappeared from the starry sky forever!” Qin Lun shook his head calmly.
The old dwarf opened his mouth, but didn’t know what to say, so he stammered, “Well, maybe we shouldn’t discuss this! Then, young man, I can give you a discount on what you want to forge this time!”
“Master, the items I need this time are a bit complicated, and there are a lot of materials. You need to come here personally.” Qin Lun said with a smile.
“Alright, I’ll go now … Are you on the order line?” Francis looked carefully at the number on the projector and was surprised.
“Yes, I was only a temporary member of the Chaos Alliance back then. Now, I’m officially an apostle on the order-keeping front.” Qin Lun explained with a smile, “Oh right, as a master blacksmith of the Chaos Alliance, can you also serve the order-keeping front?”
‘”Haha, of course, I’m a dwarf blacksmith, not a servant of the Chaos Alliance. The two sides are only hired to serve the other two Apostle Alliances. After all, there are only a limited number of high-level blacksmiths in the Horn of Devils.” Francis smiled as he pinched his white beard.
Twenty-five minutes later, the packed old dwarf quickly entered the headquarters of the Guardian Front. However, the two of them did not negotiate on the half-plane trading field, but met in a private room opened by the Alliance Headquarters.
The old blacksmith couldn’t help but be surprised when he saw the pile of precious items Qin Lun took out.
‘”This is a longbow made from a World Tree branch? Star Meteorite Iron? This should be Star Meteorite Iron, right? There is no such forging material in the Shattered Universe. I have only seen it once in the hands of an apostle! What is this? It looks like a staff, but this strange skull shape is truly frightening!”
“Young man, how many pieces of equipment do you want to forge?” Francis looked at Qin Lun in surprise.
‘”Master, I only forge one piece of equipment, auxiliary equipment! I want to bury Light and Darkness, this claw chain, and this Wind Chasing Frost into a weapon casing. Of course, if the World Tree longbow can be repaired to some extent, it would be best if it can be combined with the Secret Silver Arrow into this weapon casing.” Qin Lun said seriously.
“En, this World Tree Bow should have been a finished piece of equipment before. What a pity!” The old dwarf looked at the World Tree longbow with great regret. A master blacksmith like him really didn’t want to see a spiritual equipment turn into a dead object.
“I should still have some low-grade artifact souls on hand. However, I really don’t deserve this longbow. You’d better be able to purchase a top-grade artifact soul.” Francis murmured.
