Chapter 727

Ah this... let me tell you what kind of anomalous object this is? How is this any different from a giveaway question?

After hearing the test item proposed by the Third Director, Leon couldn't help but reach out and scratch the back of his head, and said somewhat shyly:

"How about... you change the question."

This kind of open-book exam is naturally easy to pass, but the other party is the world's second best anomalous blacksmith after all. After Lord Taurus ascends the palace, he will become the best blacksmith. The number of times he will ask him to forge in the future will definitely not be small.

And this Third Director has a very strange temper and takes forging very seriously. If he plays tricks in this regard, it would be a loss if he leaves a bad impression on him.

After briefly weighing the pros and cons, Leon suggested sincerely:

"Third Generation Lord, I actually have an anomalous object that can forcibly obtain information. This question is for me..."

"No need to change, just this one!"

Rejecting Leon's kindness without hesitation, the square-headed old man waved his hand impatiently:

"You think too highly of yourself. The base material of this thing is a True God's tail and weapon, and it was forged by me personally. The status is very high! What can a third-level cleaner like you see?"

"Third Generation Lord, the status of my anomalous object is not low either, it should be able to..."

"Then use it! If you can directly see the information, then I will count it as you passing!"

"..."

You said it yourself.

Having his kindness ignored, Leon couldn't help but frown slightly, then touched the palm-sized, crimson small fork in his arms that looked more like a tuning fork than a trident, and read according to the panel that popped up:

"The thing you forged for me should be called 【Desire-Dream Invader】, which is very similar to the 【Holy Spirit Pendant】 I owned before, and possesses three traits: divine, interference, and whisper."

"The three corresponding abilities are: causing extra damage to evil and chaotic targets; using the power of the Dream Realm to briefly interfere with reality; and causing the target's soul to vibrate through contact."

"Hmm?"

After hearing Leon's words, the square-headed old man's eyebrows raised slightly, and he evaluated with a look of surprise:

"You saw it quite accurately, even the effect of soul vibration was seen... It seems that the Taurus of this generation taught you quite diligently!"

"..."

What does this have to do with whether she taught me diligently? I was purely reading from the panel!

Unable to resist rolling his eyes in his heart, Leon accelerated his speaking speed and continued to read:

"In order to minimize the impact of changing the main combat anomalous object, you deliberately let 【Desire-Dream Invader】 maintain characteristics similar to the 【Holy Spirit Pendant】 during the forging process. However, due to the differences between the materials, the effect of 【Desire-Dream Invader】 is more aimed at the soul rather than the body."

"After being identified as a target by 【Desire-Dream Invader】, once there is some kind of contact with me—whether it's touching my body, having a conversation with me, or even just making eye contact—the soul will appear to have a certain degree of vibration, and the more contact there is, the heavier the vibration will be."

"At that time, 【Desire-Dream Invader】 can use the power of the Dream Realm, using the target's vibrating soul as a springboard, to actively erode the target and the reality around the target, achieving scenes that can only appear in dreams."

"And if the contact with me is close and frequent enough, or if I pay enough power, it can even summon the power of the Lord of Desire-Dreams to forcibly drag the target into a dream generated by their own desires..."

... No... isn't this a bit too detailed?

When Leon first started reading the panel, the square-headed old man was only a little surprised, but as Leon talked about the specific abilities of 【Desire-Dream Invader】, his mouth couldn't help but open wider and wider.

And when Leon kept accelerating his speaking speed, explaining the effects of 【Desire-Dream Invader】 in an orderly way, and even being more precise than himself, the blacksmith, in some places, the square-headed old man's mouth finally couldn't close at all.

Hell, I've seen the Taurus of this generation. Just talking about the level, it's just like that. Even if she came to the Dead Realm herself, without pouring power to activate the anomalous object, just guessing based on experience, it's impossible to judge so accurately. So what's wrong with this kid? Could it be that he can really judge True God-level anomalous objects?

In the square-headed old man's shocked gaze, Leon finished talking about the abilities of 【Desire-Dream Invader】 and didn't stop, even raising his hand and pointing at the large pot that was still bubbling:

"Also, you actually made two anomalous objects this time. The 【Desire-Dream Invader】 you just gave me is only an anomalous object forged with the Lord of Desire-Dreams' weapon. As for the anomalous object forged with the Goddess of Wealth's tail, it should still be hidden at the bottom of the pot."

"..."

"Also, you actually discovered that I wasn't there just now and knew that I didn't watch your forging process, so you deliberately came up with this question. Because you yourself hate the current blacksmiths and look down on their forging methods, so you didn't really want to give pointers to the younger generation."

"The reason you still proposed to give me pointers is mainly because you heard that I had been given pointers by the Taurus Director, and you wanted to use me not being able to answer your question as a comparison, taking the opportunity to mock the Taurus Director's level, proving that you are the true number one blacksmith, and Lord Taurus only surpassed you because of the blessing of the Star Palace..."

"*Cough*... *cough cough cough*..."

Fearing that if Leon continued to speak, he would even tell the color of the underwear he wore when forging, the square-headed old man coughed very loudly, then hurriedly opened his mouth to stop him:

"That's enough, that's enough, don't say any more. You have passed the test!"

The Third Director, whose old face was red, hurriedly turned around, fished a roll of black snake skin out of the pot and threw it to Leon, then tried hard to explain for himself:

"That... actually, I didn't want to covet your things, it's just... it's just..."

"It's just joking with us."

The red-haired Director next to him took over the conversation at the right time and said with a smile:

"As a blacksmith as sharp as you, you must have discovered our little actions long ago. I guess from the moment I deliberately didn't let Leon talk to you, you already guessed what we wanted to do."

"You must be angry that we didn't believe you, secretly borrowing your coffin but refusing to tell you, so you withheld an anomalous object, preparing to play a little joke on us, right?"

"Yes yes yes! That's what I meant!"

After hurriedly taking the step down provided by the red-haired Director and sliding down, the square-headed old man, who breathed a sigh of relief, confessed embarrassedly:

"That... I'm actually quite willing to give pointers to the younger generation, it's just that my mood has been a bit bad in the last seven or eight years."

"Mainly, the forging level of the Taurus of this generation is just like that. I originally thought that after she died of old age and lost the blessing of the Star Palace, I would compare with her soul to prove who is the best blacksmith."

"I didn't expect her to actually ascend the palace, not even giving me a chance to compare, so I... hmm... have been feeling uncomfortable in my heart, thinking about making things difficult for you... *cough cough*... forget it, let's not talk about this for now."

After vaguely mixing through this topic, the square-headed old man said to Leon with a flushed face:

"That... it just so happens that I have a furnace here. How about you forge an anomalous object on the spot, and I will give you some good pointers?"
