The belt and shoes are exactly the slots he currently lacks for mythic gear!

The base stats added by these two pieces aren't much, because "there's little fabric."

But its effects are absolutely worthy of the "mythic" quality!

This belt, combined with the Guardian's Robe's "All Element Resistance +50%", equals being able to completely ignore fire elemental damage, achieving a 100% damage reduction effect.

Moreover, while standing within the range of fire skills, it continuously restores HP and MP, practically an artifact of endless endurance!

As for the shoes, needless to say, they come with an active skill that can teleport to the area covered by the skill.

Just throw an Inflame Dragon Dance, fly out 2000 meters, then teleport flash over—it's 40 times stronger than "Instant Lightning"!

And the cooldown is only 1 hour, making it far more flexible than the built-in effects of other gear.

"Thank you, Archbishop Belo Luo Te, hehe~"

Xiao Feng was overjoyed and immediately put on the two pieces of equipment.

"Xiao Feng warrior, you have resolved the crises of Flame City and Storm City—a great merit. If you join our Flame Temple, I can grant you the position of honorary archbishop and many privileges." Archbishop Belo Luo Te said, extending the invitation.

Xiao Feng instinctively asked, "What benefits does this have?"

Belo Luo Te blinked slightly, then said blandly, "Of course there are benefits; an archbishop is a high position in the temple, allowing free use of many things within the temple and the ability to command the temple's knight order."

Sounds pretty good.

"Then what do I need to do?" Xiao Feng asked again.

Belo Luo Te laughed: "After joining the temple, you will become a follower of the Flame Supreme God; when you later go to the Divine Realm, you can directly enter the Flame God's Kingdom and receive the Flame Supreme God's protection. At the same time, you must fight for the Flame Temple; if fellow disciples encounter danger in the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, you need to lend a hand."

Flame God's Kingdom...

Xiao Feng thought, being a follower of the supreme god and such... he felt a slight resistance.

He had considered destroying the temple, razing the main city, killing the supreme god's people; becoming someone's lackey would be quite embarrassing, wouldn't it?

"Forget it, we'll talk later." Xiao Feng shook his head, refused, exchanged a few polite words with Belo Luo Te, and soon left the Flame Temple.

Seeing him actually refuse such a good opportunity, Belo Luo Te couldn't help but be puzzled, muttering to himself: "Could Master La Luo Na Er have told him something? As an adventurer, he shouldn't be refusing this, right..."

After leaving the Flame Temple, Xiao Feng directly returned to War City.

Now that the mythic gear is in hand, his full set of equipment only lacks a few slots to be complete.

Returning to his main city, he went straight into the Cheng Zhu Fu.

The direct subordinates of War City all know him and salute respectfully.

Xiao Feng entered the mansion, walked around a few times, and arrived at a place similar to a blacksmith shop.

This is the forging workshop of War City's first divine smith, Master Barik.

When he previously became city lord, Isben had him come here to customize mythic gear.

"Master Barik, are you busy?"

Xiao Feng knocked on them, then walked into the blacksmith shop.

It is said that Master Barik is an NPC with a temperamental personality; if you want him to forge something, you must not offend him, otherwise even the city lord's face won't get you anything.

Xiao Feng expressed understanding!

Capable people are all like that—outstanding personalities, not disturbed by worldly power and prestige!

However...

When he entered the blacksmith shop, what he saw was somewhat different from what he had expected...

Master Barik looks quite young, not the old man image he had imagined.

He is a burly, thick-built man, currently lying on a bench, embracing a scantily clad blonde girl, being affectionate there.

"Cough..."

Xiao Feng glanced sideways, inadvertently saw a certain exposed spot on the blonde woman's body, his old face flushed with embarrassment.

Balike heard the voice and looked over, laughing loudly: "Haha, it's the City Lord. Perfect timing, let's together appraise this beauty's body!"

Xiao Feng:???

The God Artisan's "temperamental quirk", is it actually strange here!?

"This, this... isn't appropriate!" Xiao Feng shook his head repeatedly to indicate refusal.

Appraising beauties and such, his personal interest is actually quite strong.

But the premise is closing the door; only when it's just him and the beauty can it work!

Appraising together with others, just thinking about it is shameful; as a pure male college student, Xiao Feng says he cannot accept it!

"What's wrong with that? It's fine, this is a call girl I summoned from outside, not a respectable woman, no problem." Balike said in a very open-minded manner.

Xiao Feng became even more embarrassed.

Turns out this God Artisan master still has some moral standards, doesn't touch respectable women.

But... can a call girl be publicly "appraised"?

The pure male college student still refuses!

"No, no, I have a fierce wife at home, I dare not fool around outside. Master Balike, actually I want to ask you to help me craft a few pieces of equipment." Xiao Feng waved his hand, stating his purpose.

Who knew Balike, seeing his two refusals, his face changed instantly, he said angrily: "No! If you want me to forge equipment for you, you must follow my wishes. If I let you play together, you just play, what's with all the nonsense!"

Xiao Feng's old face darkened.

This meaning, you don't even allow people to keep their pure persona?

No! When has he, Xiao Feng, ever been threatened?

A mere God Artisan dares to put on airs before him, intolerable!

"I'm not negotiating with you; your meaning is, you want to defy orders?" Xiao Feng's expression changed, he put away the kind-looking neighborly youth demeanor, and displayed his authority as City Lord.

Balike, relying on his talent and arrogance, refuses to accept this, coldly snorting: "So what? In the main city, only I can forge demigod equipment (200+ mythic gear); you want to force me? Impossible!"

This tone clearly is no longer discussing whether to appraise the beauty together, but rather a struggle for his position.

"Is that so?"

Xiao Feng took out a staff with his left hand, and a scroll with his right hand, tossing it in his hand.

"Disobedient people are useless to keep. This space-time teleportation scroll can send people to a world with no humans, only beasts. Once you get there, you can properly appraise the female beasts, Master Balike."

The aura of the transcendent mythic scroll emanated, proving he wasn't lying.

Balike originally thought he was going to threaten him with force, gave a light snort and didn't care at all.

But upon hearing those later words, he suddenly panicked a bit.

A world of only beasts?

No humans?

No beauties?

Not even toy dolls!

Is this even a place humans can stay?

In an instant, ten thousand thoughts flashed through Balike's mind.

Finally he forced a strained smile and dryly laughed: "City, City Lord, uh... I was joking! I'll make it, I'll make it for you right now! Tell me what equipment you want, I'll have it all arranged within three days!"
