Find a Troubled Girl after leaving the Guild-Chapter 379 - 214: Refining the Shell

The artisans erected a new energy transfer device outside the Mountain Copper Furnace, directing the internal flames to the feet of the Steel Guard.

Tall pillars inscribed with magic runes were set up around the giant, interlinked with spirituality and magic power, to form a temporary furnace once the artisans use magic.

Before starting the smelting for the Guard of the Forge of Creation, Hephaestus had already crafted Li Ang’s equipment.

Li Ang’s order had not been completed, so this time it was a replacement requirement.

Elaphia could be responsible for fulfilling the Fairy Dragon reward in advance, so combining the order and merits, Li Ang instantly obtained six pieces of equipment, enough to fill the main equipment slots—headband, magic robe, hand guard, long boots, cloak, and trousers.

"Made it according to your request."

Hephaestus brought over a basket, set it down, and turned to join other artisans in their work.

The excellence realm equipment made for him was like dirty laundry, casually placed in a basket by the red-haired artisan.

Li Ang paused, then smiled and shook his head, picking out the pieces of equipment one by one to examine them.

[Divine Power Robe]

[A magic robe imbued with divine power in every thread, crafted not so much by sewing as by supreme craftsmanship. Wearing it alone provides a divine power shield and a divine blade spell. When worn together with the other five pieces made by the artisan Hephaestus using the Hammer of the Source, it is considered a set that gains interconnected power.]

[Tier: 7]

[Category: Magic Robe]

[Equipment Skills: Divine Shield, Divine Blade]

[Set Combination: 1/6 [Multi-Colored Magic Power Divine Armor]]

[Set Effect: When the holder of the Multi-Colored Energy Spirit Core wears the corresponding six types of high-tier magic equipment, they can form a multi-colored energy circulation, allowing the internal energy of the equipment to switch to adapt to different situations.]

The same applies to the other five positions; alone, each piece is endowed with corresponding high-tier magic enhancement, but under Hephaestus’s intentional configuration, they can connect with the multi-colored energy spirit core he created.

This energy source is located within the treasure staff Orichalcum that Li Ang holds, allowing him to directly activate the set effect.

If needed, the six pieces of equipment can switch to a certain attribute together, granting a powerful pure magic shield, or significantly enhancing the set’s magic attack with the magic staff.

This was a choice made after discussions between Li Ang and Hephaestus. It can be said that with a powerful treasure staff, he has undergone a comprehensive enhancement from a caster’s perspective.

Surrounded by artisans who were unfazed by high-tier equipment, Li Ang’s adventurer habit made him want to change on the spot, but he refrained, keeping the equipment for later review.

Observing the busy surroundings, Li Ang seized the opportunity to borrow a workbench from the Dome Furnace Association to craft the custom equipment needed for purchasing the ancient vase and the Mengze Island demon egg from the Yijie Association.

The battle with the Guard of the Creation Cauldron generated intense magical ripples. Although underground and the construction of the Mountain Copper Furnace considered isolating the magic effects, it still reached the surface.

Elaphia quickly explained the situation to the Order Knight who came to inspect, and it wasn’t long before Lisya, the deputy leader of the Order Investigation Corps whom Li Ang had met before, entered the Mountain Copper Furnace via an elevator.

"Wow."

The orange-haired young girl, as deputy leader, removed her hat and looked at the dormant Steel Giant with amazement, her expression akin to a girl on an outing.

Were it not for the magic ripples emanating from her and the system panel, she wouldn’t have seemed like a top-tier powerhouse at all.

Lisya took out a blueprint to observe the Guard of the Cauldron, and from Li Ang’s perspective, the blueprint seemed to depict a golem similar to the guard.

She glanced at it briefly, discreetly stowed it away, and began discussing the forthcoming matters with Elaphia, never mentioning anything related to that drawing during the conversation. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Were it not for sensing something peculiar about the spirituality in that drawing, Li Ang wouldn’t have noticed the action.

Besides securing the pioneering land of the Magical Disaster realm and maintaining the outpost of the Desperate Secret Realm, the Order Investigation Corps explores unknown high-risk areas. Have they discovered something?

Li Ang decided to talk to Elaphia separately later to ask her to inquire with the investigation corps.

"Crafting a treasure artifact actually attracted formidable enemies capable of tearing through dimensions, also posing the hidden threat of using Holy City as a beacon for dispatching armies, my report is going to be explosive," Lisya said, clutching her head, tearfully complaining to Elaphia.

"I can’t help it either, I have to write one too and report to the Speaker," Blondie Douding shrugged, indicating her similar predicament.

"You know, I had just ordered dinner—scented grass fruit-fed rocky beef steak—when I got the news and had to rush over here..." Lisya whimpered, complaining to Elaphia.

Although theoretically unrelated to Li Ang, he subconsciously distanced himself a bit.

The constantly operating elevator delivered not only an ample supply of various materials but also the dinners for all members of the Dome Furnace Association.

Cassandra called out, "Lady Legislator and Deputy Leader, thanks for your help today. We are treating you, enjoy a good meal."

As a member of the Dome Furnace Association, Li Ang was of course included.

When he reached the side of the dining cart, he once again realized that these artisans were quite wealthy.

"Wow wow wow," Lisya’s eyes glowed, "This trip wasn’t in vain either."
