Chapter 727: The Artifact Forger

With the death of that unlucky guy, all the souls swallowed by him were destroyed, and those who became untouchable were also wiped out, thus making a crisis disappear invisible.

Of course, even so, many people are still quite dissatisfied with the Tribunal, because some of the victims who were devoured by the Supreme God were from high-ranking officials and nobles, and for ordinary people, they are not willing to accept their own Relatives just suddenly disappeared in front of him.

 The Tribunal does not care, care, or even care about the protests and objections of these people. Duanmu Huai had his own reasons for doing this. This curse is attached to the soul. If these souls are put back, who knows if anyone will get this soul-devouring curse again. With the attitude of the Inquisition that they would rather kill ten thousand by mistake than let one go, it must be to be on the safe side and kill them all without leaving any one behind.

Anyone who is a little bit soft-hearted is disrespectful to the Inquisition.

After this incident, all forces and organizations have a completely clear impression of the Inquisition. Previously, the Inquisition killed people and set fires in the Supreme Forest. Many people doubted whether the Inquisition was racially discriminatory - after all, Arkham City was divided into Human and demi-human, humanistic supremacy is the standard of the Inquisition.

 But looking at it now, holy shit, the Inquisition is cruel to others, but even more cruel to its own people. The treants and elves can be killed, and humans themselves will not let go. This is true to the Inquisition's oath to protect humans at all costs, and to eliminate any threat to the entire human race. Some people used to think that the Inquisition just said this to gain favor, but no one thinks so now.

As a result, the attitude of various forces on the mainland towards the Tribunal suddenly became subtle.

 On the one hand, the Tribunal really protects humanity, which makes many human organizations feel gratified. But on the other hand, the Inquisition would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go, which really frightened them. More importantly, the Tribunal is not the kind of person who will investigate only if you report it. Countless Judgment Blade teams are roaming all over Faerûn. Once they discover any behavior that harms humanity, the Tribunal will immediately dispatch it. It doesn't matter what territorial sovereignty it is, just kill if you want to kill, and destroy if you want to destroy. It has to be said that this makes many forces a little afraid.

However, there is nothing they can do against the Tribunal.

 If it were other forces, even the Temple Church like Tire, they could trade with them. Because the Temple Church is to take root among the people and be tied to the interests of ordinary people, and similarly, as long as they tie their own interests to ordinary people, there is nothing the church can do to them. It's like a certain chamber of commerce is responsible for delivering daily supplies to the city. As long as they don't endanger ordinary people, the temple will also tolerate some of their small crimes.

But the Tribunal doesn't care about this at all. At present, everything in the Tribunal's territory is self-sufficient. Whether it is food, raw materials or metal supplies, there is no need to import from the outside. On the contrary, the outside world is quite interested in some things produced by the Tribunal. With hot eyes, he tried every means to get it.

 So for the major forces in Faerûn, the Inquisition is neither good nor hard, giving them quite a headache.

They did not dare to cause trouble secretly and cause trouble to the Tribunal. Because the Tribunal is not like those temple churches, which have some rules. The Tribunal is a typical example of strong strength but no rules. Even if he is a lord of a city, if he dares to cause trouble to the Tribunal, it is estimated that the night guard will directly attack him in the next moment. Justice from heaven hammered him to death.

 Follow the procedure? This is the procedure of the trial court. I wonder if you accept it!

 If you don’t agree, come if you have the ability! The Inquisition frowned, I am a son of a bitch!

The turmoil outside has nothing to do with Duanmuhuai. He has already appointed diplomats. This is when diplomats come on stage. After returning to his territory, Duanmuhuai excitedly wanted to create Frostmourne - after all, as long as he fused the priesthood of the Devouring God with the Silver Sword of Gith, he could be crowned king, right? ?

Then Duanmuhuai discovered something.

 He can’t!

 “Holy shit, what’s going on?”

 Looking at the Gith silver sword in front of him and the priesthood in his hand, Duanmu Huai looked confused. After he came back, he remembered that in the game, similar forging artifacts are handed over to players who specialize in forging. Generally speaking, other people prepare the materials, then find the forging player, and then open a transaction and put in the materials and handling fees. , and then you can create an artifact.

 Duanmu Huai has always done this in the game and has long been used to it.

 It turned out that I didn’t remember it until he came back.

 Let me go, where can I find a player who specializes in blacksmithing?

There is only one player in this world, okay?

So now you can work part-time as a blacksmith?

When Duanmu Huai thought about it, he felt that it was extremely troublesome. It was really troublesome to upgrade the skills of the production professions in the game. Mining, smelting, and forging all required proficiency, and then they also needed to complete professional tasks. There were even some processes that were so difficult that players would want to die. I had to find helpers - one-fifth of Duanmuhuai's orders in the game were similar to those produced by professional players who asked for help in defeating BOSS and completing job transfer tasks.

Although Duanmu Huai was only responsible for killing monsters in these commissions, and the rest of the tasks such as turning on the power and solving problems were done by the players themselves, but just looking at it gave Duanmu Huai a headache. What about the conflict between the five elements and the forging of runes? It's like CET-4 or CET-6 in foreign language. I don’t understand what it is at all. It’s still a game. If I put it in reality, wouldn’t I explode on the spot?

Although there are gods in this world who can forge artifacts, Duanmu Huai does not intend to let the other party get involved in the priesthood of the God of Devouring. Once the two parties are not familiar with each other, he is afraid that he will take it for himself. Secondly...the God of Forging is a dwarf, which is even more incompatible with the Tribunal.

"Why………"

Duanmuhuai put it away silently. If that doesn't work, he'll go to Stifal next time and ask if he has the soul card of the blacksmith master.

It’s really exciting for nothing.

 Unfortunately, Duanmuhuai's luck seems not to be good.

 “A blacksmith master who can forge artifacts? Sorry, I don’t have similar channels either.”

 Came to Ruminas again and found Stifal. The latter's answer also left Duanmuhuai speechless for a while.

 “Don’t you have it either? Or can’t you?”

"Are you kidding, Mr. Duanmu? How can a weak and poor woman like me do such rough work with a hammer?"

 Weak woman, haha...

Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes and didn't want to speak.

 “If you need a blacksmith you can trust, how about training one yourself?”

“You think I don’t want to? But it’s too much trouble, and where can I find someone?”

Facing Stifal's suggestion, Duanmu Huai curled his lips. His Kukulu was a weapons designer, but that was two different things from forging artifacts. Besides, she followed Maria all day long to praise the God of All Machines. ——Of course there is no need to think about it.

“In that case, I have a good idea.” Stifal clapped his hands and looked at Duanmuhuai with a smile.

　　　……………What’s your idea?”

“In fact, I am also responsible for running a foundation, which is responsible for cultivating those children with talents and allowing them to become talented.”

 “Oh, this is the first time I’ve heard of this.”

"So, Mr. Duanmuhuai, do you want to pay a sum of money? We will use this money to operate and train those children. When they grow up, won't you be able to gain a loyal forging master? This is a sure profit. Compensation? What do you think?"

“...You mean, are there any talents cultivated by the foundation who are in this field?”

“Not yet, but as long as you are willing to join, you will definitely have it.”

　　　…………”

 It sounds like a pyramid scheme to me.

 “How much does it take?”

"uncertain."

 “How long will it take?”

"have no idea."

 “How many people are there?”

"uncertain."

　　　…………”

Looking at the smiling Stifal in front of him, Duanmuhuai was speechless.

“You are a pyramid scheme, at least you talk like that, and I will pay for it.”

“We are a serious business, so of course we cannot deceive customers.”

Stifal chuckled and answered confidently... I don’t know how she had the face to be so confident.

 “You call this a serious business?”

You don’t know anything about this question, what kind of serious business are you talking to me about? Do you believe that I will go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to shut down the business of you, a profiteer who cheats money?

 “In short, this is the amount of the first payment.”

Only you are very clear about the money you want, but you don’t even sign the contract?

but……

 “What does the first stroke mean?”

“Cultivating talents takes a lot of effort, and of course it won’t be easy to succeed. Only long-term investment will yield results, right?”

Good guy, are we not talking about a one-time deal? It's enough to lie to me once. How many times are you going to lie to me? Or should we just play the long game and catch the big fish? Is it over yet?

“By the way, if the training fails, will the money be refunded?”

"Of course it's impossible. Although you paid for it, we also worked hard to cultivate it, which means we share the risk. If it fails, there will be no compensation."

“We share the hammer and I’m the one paying for it. Besides wasting some time, what risks do you have?”

Duanmuhuai complained silently, but still obediently gave Stifal some divine power.

 “Thank you for your patronage and welcome your next visit.”

“I’ll pay you next time, right?”

Although he didn’t know what Stifal planned to do, Duanmuhuai really had no other choice now but to look at Stifal’s ability.

Of course, the money was not in vain. The losses within the embankment were repaired outside the embankment. After Duanmuhuai left Stifal's shop, he headed non-stop to Kelanwo's Kingdom of God.

He has burned down the wall of unbelief.
