I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

Lloyd didn't wait long before he saw five senior craftsmen arriving at Master Linde's office. Each of them looked highly respected.

They gathered around the gift box containing the knife, and then took turns reading it as if they were doing some treasure appraisal activity.

The reaction was similar to that of Master Linde just now. The more he looked at it, the more surprised he became.

One of them looked at it with an unabashed expression of admiration on his face, and started meowing like a cat:

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! This knife is really magical. It can actually cut and modify the material's spirituality? This is so fast!"

He did not have the characteristic 'private chat' of Silent City, but let Lloyd hear it.

Another craftsman beside him quickly echoed:

"It looks like just a sixth-level holy object, and it may not have actual combat value, but if it is used to process materials, it is much easier to use than those precious items of level 1 and level 0!"

"And this doesn't seem to be a sacred object processed from a sealed object, but more like a man-made sacred object that is based on a part of the sealed object and has been extensively processed?"

"I just made a preliminary estimate. If it can be used in our process, it can at least increase the average quality by 30%, increase the processing efficiency by 50%, and reduce risks and losses exponentially."

The four craftsmen in front took turns to praise each other first, but when it was the turn of the last one, this guy got weird and turned to Lloyd and said in a private chat:

"Is this knife yours? Can you sell it to me? I can marry my daughter to you. She is very beautiful and one of the few beauties in this city!"

No...you gave birth to a daughter to sell? Aren't you afraid that her essay writing will offend you, a biological father?

Lloyd cursed in his heart and replied without hesitation:

"No, no, no! This is a precious gift given to me by a friend, and I have no intention of selling it away."

"Alas...this is such a pity..."

The craftsman could only look sad and reluctantly put the knife back into the gift box.

At this time, another craftsman spoke to Lloyd in a 'private chat':

"Is this knife yours? How did you get it?"

"A gift from a friend..."

"Oh~ Can you bear the pain and give up your love? I am willing to exchange it for a level 5 holy object."

"Sorry, I have no intention of selling out."

"Alas...this is such a pity..."

After this 'private chat' ended, a third person immediately started negotiating with Lloyd:

"Young man, did those two old guys want to buy your knife? Don't listen to them. They are poor and stingy. Just sell it to me. If you want anything, just ask."

"No...why do you always agree that I want to sell it?"

"Huh? You're not here to sell it?"

"of course not!"

"Alas...this is such a pity..."

Lloyd was so entangled by these people that he couldn't laugh or cry for a while.

Although I can understand their mood, it is human nature for a craftsman to be tempted when he sees a useful artifact, but are you too direct and impatient?

Fortunately, the other three remaining craftsmen, including Master Linde, were relatively calm and did not chat privately. Instead, they discussed in front of Lloyd:

"Tonight's special process, if this thing helps, it will definitely be much safer."

"Yes, yes, tonight's special process originally gave me a headache, but now that I have this knife, I am confident. It is so amazing! Is it from Mizkatok?"

"Maybe? I don't know. This was brought out by our client, Lloyd, tonight."

Master Linde finally replied, looking at Lloyd again, hoping that he could introduce the specific origin of the knife.

It can be clearly seen that Master Linde and the two craftsmen behind are the 'protagonists' in tonight's process. The other three should just come here to 'appreciate the artifacts', so there will be subtle differences in their ideas and positions. .

Since we had to cooperate at night, Lloyd naturally didn't hide anything anymore and answered truthfully:

"This is a gift from a bishop of the Eternal Order."

Master Lin De was stunned for a moment and then replied:

"Oh? You actually come from the Eternal City? That's not too surprising."

The other two craftsmen also said:

"Yes, although the Eternal City is now declining and dilapidated, as the first city in the new era, it once gathered countless talented people. Its foundation and accumulation in all aspects are still far beyond people's imagination."

"The age of this pocket knife can be considered very long ago. The internal structure similar to the psychic blade is relatively basic and simple, but it is also sophisticated and complex enough. This is a typical early plan, proving that it should be in the early part of the new era. product.

As for the specific time, it was probably the period when the psychic blade was initially taking shape? Maybe this knife is one of the early verification models? "

"Well, I also noticed this. Compared with the current mass-produced psychic blades, although the physical cutting effect of this design is not strong enough, it has the effect of cutting spirituality and spiritual power. It is really bold. Idea, but unfortunately the material used to forge it is too unique, and there is no way to mass-produce it..."

"Yes, the alloy that makes up the blade is mixed with some unknown ingredients to give it this magical effect, but I don't know what it is specifically. I only see that it should be related to some kind of sealed object. ?”

"Then should we go to the Eternal City? Try to find the craftsmanship of this knife? If it can be mass-produced, it will promote the development of all mankind."

Lloyd listened silently and felt that the chat among these few was getting louder and louder, and it suddenly rose to the level of all mankind?

Is this thank you gift from Bishop Milly a little too expensive? It made him a little afraid to use it...

Fortunately, Master Linde spoke in time and said:

"Don't talk about things that far away yet. Let's test it concretely during tonight's process and then think about it."

After that, he said to Lloyd:

"This knife will be a big help with tonight's process. Can you lend it to us?"

"Of course, that's exactly what I was hoping for."

Master Linde nodded and asked while the iron was hot:

"Then...if everything goes well tonight, can you lend it to us for study again?"

"If you're just borrowing it, that's fine."

Lloyd replied somewhat amusedly.

With the matter settled like this, Master Linde couldn't wait to pick up the gift box containing the knife and took Lloyd to the basement here, which is the workshop where extraordinary materials are processed.

As he walked, he was still introducing the next process steps to Lloyd:

"The [Embodiment] you need to interfere with is the second-order and third-order transcendent materials. We just made some semi-finished products before. I will select the ones with the best appearance and the most spirituality for you to use...

During the process, we will use this knife to carefully modify the material's spirituality to match your next steps. "

"Well, I know."

Lloyd nodded.

Master Linde turned around and asked:

"Then have you thought about what kind of personal elements you are going to add to the material?"

Lloyd didn't dare to make excuses, so he asked very humbly:

"This... do you have any suggestions?"

"Blood, the blood that carries your spiritual power and inspiration."

oh? I traveled through another world for twenty years, and finally encountered the scene of "recognizing one's master by shedding blood"?

Lloyd smiled inwardly and nodded quickly.

Master Linde then changed his mind and continued to brag about the power of this knife:

"Before tonight, I really didn't dare to let you mix blood into it. Although blood is the best 'element', it is too difficult to grasp and the probability of failure is extremely high! So my original plan was to let you make some weak The mark is ground and then mixed in...

Fortunately, the situation is different now. With its help, I believe we can succeed! "

"That's great!"

Lloyd said expectantly.

Soon, everyone arrived at the workshop. As soon as they entered, Lloyd felt a complex smell blowing against his face, like a strange smell mixed with various messy potions. It is difficult to describe in detail. Anyway, it is quite unpleasant. .

And then, he had to stay in this strange smell until dawn...

What's even more uncomfortable is that he can neither understand nor intervene in the following processes...

I could only watch the three craftsmen carrying out various processes with a slimy monster organ, a piece of mineral, and a weird thing that didn't know whether it was a plant or a nerve bundle.

Grinding, baking, beating, adding potions and boiling, and from time to time using a snake-shaped knife to cut and pull.

Anyway, it was cumbersome and complicated. In the absence of sufficient theoretical basis, Lloyd couldn't understand it at all.

I can only wait by the side. When the process reaches a certain stage, I go over and cut myself with a snake-shaped knife, cut my fingers, add a drop of blood with spiritual power and inspiration into the material, and then go back to the side to continue waiting. After a while, I stabbed myself again...

Soon the ten fingers were not enough, and a knife had to be cut on the back and palm of the hand...

Lloyd had imagined that this process might be hard, long, and difficult, but he never expected it to be painful...

I have fought against the Evil God's children, fought against [Brilliant Gold], conquered space storms, and sealed the Witch Mistress, but I have never suffered so many blows...

This time the blood is really flowing...

Lloyd felt helpless and quickly drank a bottle of healing potion to speed up the healing of the wound on his hand.

Just then I heard Master Linde’s reminder again:

"We are about to enter a critical stage, so be careful, otherwise you will have to do it all over again if you fail."

Although this was not meant for Lloyd, but to remind the other two craftsmen, Lloyd's scalp felt numb after hearing it.

Please, don’t fail!
