Find a Troubled Girl after leaving the Guild-Chapter 365 - 208: The Hardest Part of the Blind Spot of Thought (Part 3)

Hephaestus decisively opened the furnace, showing he didn’t care what Li Ang wanted, only about getting his hands on this weapon.

The three Hammers of the Source, surrounded by other artisans, discussed for a while before Cassandra burst into hearty laughter, clapped the other two on the back, and said, "Since that’s the case, just incorporate all your ideas into it. I believe this embryo and the Mountain Copper Furnace can withstand it."

"Reckless," Gaelin was evidently more cautious.

Hephaestus said, "I believe in myself and the two of you."

The conclusion of the three’s discussion was surprisingly to follow Hephaestus’s wishes.

"Is that okay?" Li Ang’s conscience urged him to ask. From a pragmatic standpoint, he was willing, but he also wanted to see them create a Treasure Artifact for him, unsure which desire was stronger.

"Don’t worry, don’t worry," Cassandra laughed heartily. "Trust in our skills."

Li Ang nodded, simply seeing the giant cannon on this Horned Race lady’s back was enough to affirm this statement.

Evidently, this weapon wasn’t a Treasure Artifact, because the cannon-shaped Treasure Artifacts were rare, perhaps because such things emerged later and the ancients did not make them.

The design of this gun was so complex that at first glance, it was unrecognizable as a weapon, only upon careful inspection revealing it was because it had multiple auxiliary magazines directly replaced by the central mechanical structure, which could also switch the structure of the gun itself to change firing modes.

That is to say, this single weapon could achieve functions like continuous fire, scattershot, sniping, and bombing, and the projectiles could be switched on-site based on combat needs, no wonder the panel displayed its Tier as 8.

Due to the extraordinary power of this world, even if it were to recreate Earth’s firearms, they might not be as destructive; instead, such functionally adaptable gun weapons fit better with the combat mode here.

Perhaps because of some innate interest, Li Ang really wanted to play with it.

After deciding how to forge it, Cassandra spread out the blueprint on the workbench, discussing and drafting plans with the others.

It was unexpected that she was the one among them more inclined to layout plans on paper.

Li Ang listened for a bit; the artisans were striving to bind Arcane Energy, Ether, Divine Power, Power of Nature, Light Attribute Energy, and Dark Attribute Energy together, crafting an Energy Source by hand, then making it the core of the Staff of Dependence.

Perhaps it really could work? This description was very similar to the panel of the Refined Source Steel Block, Li Ang mused.

As for how to ensure its transformation could change the direction of its functions and how to have its unique release forms, these specific operations were beyond Li Ang’s understanding, especially when all the equipment at the Mountain Copper Furnace had to be integrated, it was incomprehensible.

He was but a minor novice artisan.

The three Hammers of the Source led the exchange, and some artisans began processing various materials.

Here, materials familiar and foreign to Li Ang were everywhere, like the Island Heart Refined Gold Sisyphus previously took out, which was discarded in the corner here.

During this, he had an unexpected gain.

Observing the materials with the system panel, he discovered potential advanced materials capable of creating Array Equipment.

Since the panel of materials for crafting Array Equipment labeled them as "Can Be Smelted," Li Ang, following this rule, discovered several stones here.

River Heart Stone, Tier 7 Water Attribute material. Blazing Stone, Tier 4 Fire Attribute material, Disaster Flame Stone, Tier 7 Fire Attribute material. Wind Wall Stone, Tier 8 Wind Attribute material. Mountain Stone, Tier 7 Earth Attribute material.

Li Ang mentally named them Array Stones, recording their attributes and tiers in his adventure manual.

As the artisans each engaged in discussion and creation, Li Ang suddenly remembered something and started chatting with Elaphia.

"I’m a bit curious, since Rune Stones and Decaying Weapons make such good embryo material, why didn’t the previous Speaker or even the Guild’s founder try to create a Treasure Artifact with the help of the Dome Furnace Association or other Grand Artisans?"

Elaphia slightly lifted her chin: "You guess."

Seeing her not hiding the controlling demeanor, even while hot and uncomfortable, Li Ang asked, "Have you already found out?"
