MTLNOVEL Chapter 1064: Do You Want to Die?
When it comes to weapons, the Bronze Spear still aligns more with my attack style.
As for this dagger, it's more suitable for close combat professions, like thieves or wanderers.
Wu Heng gazed at the weapon, even suspecting that the Special Item thrown in during the melting was too messy, or too negatively inclined, thus resulting in such an unsavory-looking dagger.
After all, from the first piece of Armor, it's evident that the Special Item influences the 'finished product' forged.
"How's the effect?" Glenda floated over, curiously asking.
The other Three Ghosts also turned their gaze.
Meanwhile, Xiao Xiao had been grumbling for quite a while, rather dissatisfied with this newly forged weapon.
"A dagger that can absorb the target's flesh and soul, nourishing the holder..." Wu Heng briefly explained the effect.
"Its effectiveness is alright." The Lady nodded, "See who can use a dagger in the Island Lord's Mansion, and hand it over to them."
"Robey, she uses daggers." Xiao Xiao immediately chimed in.
The Lady shook her head, saying, "Robey's level is too low. Such a weapon in her hands won't be very effective. Among the Wood Elf Sisters, isn't there one who uses long and short swords? If she can become a Hero, it can be given to her."
"Oh! Silvien uses daggers too." Xiao Xiao rested her chin, "Although she can't defeat Uncle, she's still rather strong."
Glenda contemplated briefly, then said, "Looking at these two forgings, the return rate of Special Items is very high."
After roughly calculating in her heart, "The value of the Special Items put in this time is within 500 Gold Coins, but the dagger's effect is quite good. If sold at the Snake Badge Consortium's auction, it would definitely exceed two thousand gold."
Wu Heng and the other Three Ghosts raised their eyebrows.
"Even without counting the first piece of Scale Armor." Glenda smiled and summarized, "This piece alone already breaks even, and if the next ones can be used, it would surely be profitable."
The first piece of Scale Armor's value couldn't be calculated, as several of the Holy Court's 'important' Special Items were used.
If not melted, sold back to the Holy Court, they would surely buy it back at any price.
The value couldn't be calculated.
But the second dagger, from the materials invested and the dagger's value, it's certainly profitable.
Moreover, if placed at auction, it's enough to earn back the 2,500 gold spent earlier.
If this continues, as long as similar Special Items appear, profits can be made.
Of course, this time the goal is to transform unusable Special Items into ones usable by us, money doesn't matter for Gold and Silver Island.
"Hmm, what you said makes sense." Wu Heng nodded, putting the dagger away and taking out all the remaining Special Items.
"Enough for one more?" Bella asked.
"Barely! If it's not enough, I'll sweep through the market again tomorrow." Wu Heng said, tossing the remaining Special Items into the magma.
One by one, the Special Items were swallowed by the magma, and the progress began to rise.
Finally, the progress on the Heart of Molten Fire halted at 97.6%.
At this moment, the flame on the Heart of Molten Fire flared brightly, active and fervent.
Glenda said, "Almost there!"
Wu Heng stood still, eyes fixed on the fireball, while a gambler's frenzy arose in his heart, "With the previous two safeguarding it, I want to gamble on the latter."
The Four Ghosts glanced at each other.
"Gamble on what?" the Lady asked.
"Materials are running low, I'll acquire some more at the market tomorrow, aiming for further progress." Wu Heng said.
Glenda floated over to inquire, "Confident?"
"A bit of confidence, but it's a rare opportunity." Wu Heng replied, then led the Four Ghosts out.
Upon exiting the main door, the sky had already darkened completely.
The dusk settled heavily, distant mountain shadows loomed like dormant beasts, while nearby torches swayed in the wind, stretching the guards' shadows long and short.
Just then, the overseeing Short people official responsible for sealing the door briskly approached, a copper whistle hanging from his neck, and said, "Sir, shall we seal it up?"
Wu Heng nodded, "Seal it up!"
The Short people blew the copper whistle and waved his hand, "Seal the door!"
The sharp whistling reverberated in the night, heavy metal hinges began to turn, and the thick bronze doors slowly closed with a deep rumble.
Wu Heng glanced at the distant, replaced guards, and asked, "What's happening over there?"
The Short people with the copper whistle explained, "Rest assured, sir, it's just a routine guard shift to prevent anyone from guarding too long and affecting their mindset. The guards rotate every so often, today happens to be the rotation day."
Wu Heng raised an eyebrow, the Heart of Molten Fire didn't have side effects affecting the mind, very likely some Special Item was placed around.
"Hmm!" Wu Heng responded, then stepped onto the carriage, leaving the place.
And not long after Wu Heng left, the guards at the iron gate were also switched.
A Short people in Armor and with fiery red beard glanced at the gate and said, "Open the door! I want to inspect the Heart of Molten Fire."
...
Night spreads like ink, the wind outside the window swept past the treetops, producing a soft rustling sound.
Wu Heng returned home, placing the two Special Items on the table.
The matte black dagger gleamed faintly, its surface uneven as if corroded, while the Scale Armor on the other side was entirely different, pure white like fresh snow, each scale intricately carved with complex patterns, shimmering delicately under the candlelight.
"Try it on! It's not burning now." Glenda floated nearby, her eyes filled with a smile of anticipation.
