CHAPTER 861: CHAPTER 813: DIVINE ARTIFACT: WIND GOD’S STRIKE

After the promotion ended, Sazer reminded, "Oh right, about those One-Winged Angel followers you brought back from crossing zones, we received a notice from the Divine Realm; they are not allowed to appear in the mortal world, so let’s have them stay in Divine Punishment City to help with development. I presume Ror has already informed them?"

Da Fei was stunned on the spot! No way? I was thinking of taking a bunch of people to Radiant City to raise its cultural standards?

Although what the system says goes, Da Fei couldn’t help but ask annoyed, "Why aren’t they allowed to appear in the mortal world? That hero, Miss Elda, seems to have a special mission?"

Sazer shook his head, "Simply put, their appearance would lead mortals to speculate and misinterpret the will of the gods. As for Miss Elda’s mission, it’s not in the mortal world, so it doesn’t affect her. Well, Will’s research has made a breakthrough, and he’s been waiting for the Warrior to return."

After saying that, the scene changed, and Da Fei returned to the hall of Divine Punishment City.

At this moment in the hall, Elda was laughing and joking with Ror. Seeing Da Fei appear, Elda waved excitedly, "Hey, didn’t you promise to make me Deputy City Lord back then?"

Ror also greeted with a smile, "Warrior, welcome back, this Miss Elda is very interested in the construction of the Nightmare Space and Divine Punishment City."

Da Fei finally snapped back to his senses and nodded continuously, "Yes, yes, I specifically invited Miss Elda to be the Deputy City Lord. Miss Ror, long time no see!"

Elda laughed heartily, "I can’t be your vice hero, are you sure you’re okay with leaving such an important position as Deputy City Lord to me?"

Damn! Of course, I trust you. We’ve drunk, slept, and fought together; what more can I say? Da Fei chuckled, "Of course, no problem at all!"

Elda sighed, "But I have a mission and can’t stay in the city for long periods."

Da Fei quickly said, "No problem, no problem, there’s still Roger Tal and the others. I’ll appoint them as officials of various departments, and we can maintain the city’s operation just the same."

Elda smiled, "Alright, then appoint me as Deputy City Lord!"

Without a word, Da Fei immediately opened the city lord panel of Divine Punishment City and added Elda, Roger Tal, and the 13 One-Winged Angels, along with Essinger, to the city.

Elda as Deputy City Lord goes without saying, and Roger Tal, with the highest combat power, is the sheriff. Then, Da Fei suddenly realized he had no idea about the other One-Winged Angels, mainly due to lack of time, so it wouldn’t be good to make random appointments.

Da Fei smiled, "Lady Elda, as Deputy City Lord, I leave the appointment of other officials to you. As for the city’s construction, you can handle it yourself!"

Elda laughed heartily, "Interesting! Leave it to me! How about building a high-end tavern first?"

Da Fei laughed, "No problem! Do as you see fit!" Hmm, that’s your favorite saying, and I’m giving it back to you now, isn’t that considerate?

Ror also chuckled, "Warrior, during your absence, Nightmare Space has made some progress. Go check it out when you have time. Oh, and your Nightmare Crystal is with the Guardian Angel, don’t forget to take it."

Da Fei was shaken all over, my dream-building plan finally worked? Haha, wow, haha! I’m awesome, and coming back means being busy again, taking things one at a time.

Da Fei quickly said, "Thank you, Miss Ror, for the reminder, I will check it out!"

Just as Da Fei arrived at the plaza, he suddenly noticed Little Fang and Little Li were missing, where are they?

While in shock, Billbo from the blacksmith shop excitedly waved, "Lord City Lord! Lord City Lord is back! Here’s good news for you, the Mercury Lake from our village has been won! Lady Anlicia has already started building the Mercury Mine!"

Da Fei was pleasantly surprised! Wow, I went abroad, and when I returned, it’s good news one after another! Is this the rhythm of making money while lying down?

Da Fei hurriedly rushed forward and asked, "How are the casualties?"

Damn! Isn’t that nonsense! As long as we won in the end, it doesn’t matter how many died; just resurrect them, that’s the brutal law of this game!

Billbo excitedly said, "No casualties, it was demons who infiltrated World Tree Space that were defeated, then we drove the demons away, anyway, we won! By the way, the Divine Artifact Earth Dragon’s Heart you left in the barracks was taken by Lady Anlicia for testing."

Demons infiltrating the World Tree Space? Isn’t this Boss Ma? Da Fei quickly checked his wildly flashing messages, and sure enough, there were friends from Little Li, Little Fang, Bloodrose Rosa, and Boss Ma all present! Damn, he must be coming to argue with me, but it’s none of my business, I went abroad, it was all done by NPCs, and it’s you trying to take my mine when I wasn’t home!

While Da Fei’s thoughts were racing, Blacksmith Will laughed loudly, "Warrior, welcome back, now the whole Divine Realm knows your name! I have good news for the warrior, we collected good materials from the giant dragon. I am very confident in upgrading your Wind God’s Strike gloves without damaging them, hurry up, I can’t wait!"

Damn, another blacksmith so sure of himself? Da Fei marveled, "Materials to upgrade the equipment without damaging it? Could it be something like the Dragon King’s Soul?"

Will laughed loudly, "Worthy of being the warrior who defeated the Abyss Blood Demon King in the Europe Zone! Yes, it’s the Earth Dragon King’s Soul! There’s a saying that all Divine Artifacts have life, so when we infuse powerful creature’s soul power into the equipment during forging, it grants life to the equipment, even if it can’t become a Divine Artifact, it would still be a very nice piece of equipment. Furthermore, we have core upgrade material Electric Eel Crystal Core, ensuring the Wind God’s Strike gloves upgrade successfully!"

Wow! I’m already numbed by happiness! Then let’s not waste any time, quickly finish one thing!

Da Fei excitedly pulled out the gloves, "Then I’ll trouble you, Mr. Will!"

——Wind God’s Strike: S-level strategic equipment, glove position, Troop Attack Speed +3, Damage +1, Attack +10, Defense +10.

Will nodded: "Warrior, the Earth Dragon King’s Soul has dual earth and fire attributes. When integrated into equipment, it can manifest in defense, life, and magic power attributes. You can choose one attribute! I recommend increasing defense, because the gloves themselves have a defense attribute, which will make the Dragon King’s Soul stack very smoothly and achieve the maximum defense effect."

Da Fei’s brow twitched, thinking, am I already experienced in upgrading equipment today? Since my Blazing Angel Battle Armor opted to add life for optimization purposes, I can only develop both life and attack speed simultaneously to the end, and there’s no reason to add defense. Besides, defense can be stacked with my excessive attribute points, while life cannot be stacked in such a way. I’ll choose life!

Da Fei shook his head, "No, please help me choose to add life, Will. My defense is already high enough."

Will frowned and said, "Adding life means adding an attribute to the equipment, which may be slightly more challenging and might not successfully add life, but it ultimately won’t affect the glove’s upgrade."

Might? Da Fei quickly asked, "Is it related to luck? Should I try teaming up to use my Lucky Hand?"

Will shook his head with a smile, "Sometimes, I often attribute my lack of ability to luck, but faced with such unknown outcomes, I can only rely on luck, so let’s give it a try!"

—System Prompt: Angel Blacksmith Will has joined your team!

Da Fei’s brow jumped in surprise, actually letting an NPC who isn’t my citizen join my team! This must have triggered a scene plot, right?

And as expected, the neighboring pharmacy shop owner Reilly immediately started jeering, "Will, you really dare to gamble, huh? A blacksmith who relies on gambling to forge equipment does not truly understand the divine essence of blacksmithing!"

Will suddenly froze, "This—"

Divine essence? Could Will have a task related to becoming a God-level blacksmith? Da Fei’s heart skipped a beat, suddenly recalling that he had obtained that "Volcanic Demon Dragon Crystal Core" after killing the guarding Demon Dragon at the Crystal Mine! Reilly had also mentioned back then, these gloves were made using the crystal core obtained from defeating a Wind Demon Bafongte, and the crystal core is not recognized by angels as the Divine Essence of the Demon God.

Anyway, no matter if the Demon Dragon that fought Uriel to a draw has reached the standard of a Demon God, even if it’s like an electric eel level, a crystal core is still a crystal core, it should somewhat be useful! Then let’s use it here, I’m willing to spend lavishly to cultivate a God-level blacksmith!

Da Fei took out the crystal core and asked, "Mr. Will, would it be helpful if we add this Volcanic Demon Dragon Crystal Core to the upgrade materials?"

"Demon Dragon Crystal Core?" Will suddenly took a look, instantly widening his eyes, "This is a dual wind and fire attribute crystal core, its wind attribute fits very well with the electric eel crystal core, Wind God’s Strike gloves, and its fire attribute fits perfectly with the dual earth and fire attributes of the Earth Dragon King’s Soul. In any case, adding this extra material poses absolutely no problem!"

Reilly sighed with a bitter smile, "Warrior, whether it’s the Dragon King’s Soul, the electric eel crystal core, or this Volcanic Demon Dragon Crystal Core, any material used alone could forge good equipment, but concentrating them all together to forge one equipment is cost-inefficient and wasteful!"

Will also let out a long sigh, "Indeed, every material provided by the warrior is rare in the world, it’s much better if the warrior finds craftsmen to forge them separately."

Good grief! You guys didn’t mention it, I wouldn’t have thought of it! But I’m in a hurry, wealthy and capricious!

Da Fei smiled slightly, "Mr. Will, are you confused by the inability to break through the bottleneck of forging for years?"

Will silently nodded.

Da Fei laughed heartily, "Then that’s right, take this opportunity to resolve the confusion! Once you reach the realm of God-level forging, all my future equipment upgrades will depend on you, and my research on Titan’s Grasp will also rely on you! As long as my equipment improves, I’ll have plenty of crystal core materials, so don’t worry about such trivial matters!"

Reilly couldn’t help but praise, "Worthy of a warrior! Such audacity!"

Will finally made the decision and solemnly said, "Alright, then let’s begin! Please, warrior, do not use Lucky Hand, I want to break through with my own ability!"

Indeed, it’s a plot! Da Fei nodded, "Alright, I’m counting on you!"

In the blazing furnace-like environment, Will took a deep breath, then raised the golden hammer in his hand and pondered for a long time. At this moment, Da Fei, Reilly, and Billbo widened their eyes, calmed their breath, and focused all their strength to witness!

Finally, the golden hammer fell with a clang, and the golden light erupted!

—System Prompt: Your team member Will used Master-level Forging Skill on Wind God’s Strike gloves to upgrade, upgrade succeeded!

—Wind God’s Strike: Divine Artifact, glove position, troop attack speed +6, damage +1, attack +10, defense +10, life +2, 2% chance of triggering Dragon Slayer Strike!

—Dragon Slayer Strike: Deals massive additional damage that ignores defense to creatures of larger size.

—System Prompt: Your team member Will gained significant insights into God-level Blacksmithing Technique!

Divine Artifact! Success!

At this moment, Da Fei was trembling with excitement! Just a pair of gloves! Just a component weighing less than a tenth of an armor, it actually enhanced attributes beyond most A-level armors and even introduced a special skill like Dragon Slayer Strike! Isn’t this intentionally matching with my Divine Artifact Ferocious Tooth? Awesome, truly awesome! Ha—

"Haha, wahahahaha!" Will laughed aloud, "Understood! I finally grasped the key to God-level forging!"

Good grief, critical moment, don’t steal my lines! Haha, wahahahaha!
