Chapter 2428

When the Blacksmith walked past Su Xiao, his footsteps paused. A moment later, he continued to move forward.

"I just slaughtered Qisi. Don't you plan to avenge him?"

Su Xiao wanted to determine the Blacksmith's attitude. After all, he needed the other party to help him reforge equipment using the Ash Furnace.

"Qisierman... died long ago. The Qisi in my memory would not accept the power of the Old God."

The Blacksmith smiled. He looked indifferent, but in fact, his lips were trembling imperceptibly.

The three buddies of the Redemption Church were the true saviors of Doom Town. Unfortunately, the three of them were isolated and helpless, and their boss, the Archbishop, was even more ill-intentioned.

When Qisi chose to accept the power of the Old God, in the Blacksmith's heart, Qisi as a person was already dead. Using the power of the Old God was nothing; the Blacksmith and the Immortal would both use it to fight, but accepting it was another matter, which would lead to the erosion of the soul.

The Archbishop, Qisi, and the Orphan of Resentment all didn't know that the power of the Old God was more terrifying than they imagined.

This Old God power did not have three characteristics. Besides light, dark, and fire, there was a fourth characteristic: soul. As long as it was someone who accepted these Old God powers, they would be affected, and their souls would constantly become Old God-like.

【Hint: You triggered a special event, Old Friend's Farewell.】

【Your personal reputation level with the Blacksmith has been upgraded to Friendly.】

【Due to the Hunter's charm attribute influence, your personal reputation with the Blacksmith has only been upgraded to Neutral Friendly. Please do not make extreme behaviors, otherwise, you will be attacked by the Blacksmith.】

In Su Xiao's view, Neutral Friendly was already quite reliable. At least there was no problem with getting the other party to help reforge equipment.

"Blacksmith, Ash Furnace, you know how to use it, right."

"Of course."

"Use it to reforge a bracer..."

"That requires a lot of Starlight Iron."

The Blacksmith was somewhat embarrassed. Looking at his tightly furrowed brows, he should be recalling how to use the Ash Furnace.

"Starlight Iron is no problem."

"Besides Starlight Iron, there is also my hard work fee."

The Blacksmith added a sentence while moving forward.

"In your situation, shouldn't you be without desires?"

Baha looked at the Blacksmith. The Blacksmith glared at it. His temper was clearly not good.

"Do you take me for free labor? But... you defeated the Bishop, so I won't charge you a hard work fee this time."

The Blacksmith returned to the corridor. Before long, flames rose in the smelting furnace.

Su Xiao took out the Ash Furnace from the team storage space. Before long, the Blacksmith made the inside of the Ash Furnace turn scorching red, and the high temperature rushed toward his face.

【Successfully activated the Ash Furnace.】

【The Hunter can choose one piece of equipment to reforge. If a set is chosen, 2~8 pieces can be chosen at the same time. After reforging, the set will aggregate into one piece, and the quality will be improved.】

【Reforging requires consuming a large amount of equipment. The quantity of consumed equipment will affect the success rate of reforging.】

Seeing these hints, Su Xiao removed the Black King three-piece set.

As for the equipment used for fueling, there was only 【Ring of Oblivion (Epic-grade)】 for now, which was clearly not enough for fueling.

Su Xiao had four Holy Spirit-grade treasure chests. The problem was, if the Holy Spirit-grade treasure chests could open equipment, then it was basically Holy Spirit-grade. Using Holy Spirit-grade equipment as fueling material...

This was not as simple as wasting it, but over-consuming resources. The equipment used for fueling was not the higher the quality the better. It was best to be one tier higher than the Black King set. The Black King set was legendary-grade, so using epic-grade equipment for fueling was best.

If it was Holy Spirit-grade, the extraordinary properties were too strong, which might instead increase the failure rate of reforging. Once the Blacksmith couldn't control it well, the final quality of the Black King set might not even reach epic-grade.

Opening treasure chests on the spot was not reliable. Su Xiao had other methods. Reforging required the extraordinary properties within the equipment, not the equipment itself.

Su Xiao now had half a holy spear. Although this thing could not be taken out of the Light-Dark World, the extraordinary properties inside could be utilized. Through the quenching of the Ash Furnace, in the judgment of Reincarnation Paradise, this was resource fusion and would not affect reforging.

Besides the half holy spear, there was also Qisi's staff-blade. This weapon was at least Holy Spirit-grade at the bottom. Su Xiao's processing method was to break the staff-blade into three sections. He spent nearly an hour, and only through alchemy assistance, did he break the staff-blade into three sections.

After the weapon was damaged, the extraordinary properties would decrease a lot. Su Xiao wanted this effect, which ensured sufficient extraordinary properties and would not lead to "quality overflow," making it easier for the Blacksmith to control the heat.

The Blacksmith was somewhat angry. This staff-blade was forged by him. On the surface, it was said to have broken during battle, but the Blacksmith was not stupid. He had heard the bursts of roars from the altar just now.

The Blacksmith didn't say much. He was a person who repaid kindness. Su Xiao killed the Archbishop, which allowed him to regain his sanity. Regardless of the other party's purpose, the Blacksmith only looked at the result.

Su Xiao placed the Black King three-piece set inside the Ash Furnace, then put the broken holy spear and the staff-blade into the scorching flames of the furnace. The holy spear and the staff-blade dissolved rapidly.

【Hint: The success rate of reforging has reached 83%.】

Su Xiao threw the 【Ring of Oblivion (Epic-grade)】 into the furnace, and the success rate reached 90.5%. One piece of epic-grade equipment only increased the success rate by 7.5%. If he used all epic-grade equipment, he couldn't gather them at all.

Seeing this scene, Su Xiao took out a sniper rifle from his storage space. This sniper rifle was named 【Devourer】, an epic-grade sniper rifle he had already phased out.

The type of equipment didn't matter; what was needed was the extraordinary properties to fuel it. After putting in the 【Devourer】 sniper rifle, the success rate reached 100%.

"It can start."

The Blacksmith held a long-handled iron tong, which clamped a mold cup filled with scorching red molten iron. The Blacksmith had melted the Archbishop's scepter to activate the Ash Furnace.

Along the edge of the furnace, the Blacksmith poured the scorching red molten iron into the furnace. With a whoosh, orange-red flames rose, and the high temperature made Su Xiao retreat a few steps.

"Damn it!"

Baha turned and ran. The feathers on its body were on fire, which showed how high the temperature was.

With Su Xiao's physique, he had to retreat to a few meters away, but the Blacksmith stood in front of the furnace, even holding the bellows beside the furnace with his hands and starting to pull. This bellows was so heavy that if the strength attribute was below 140 points, it would be very difficult to pull, and long-term pulling required even stronger endurance.

Hoo, hoo~

Sparks splashed, and the temperature in the corridor was even higher. The walls were roasted red. Su Xiao retreated outside the corridor. The Blacksmith in the corridor didn't even frown. There was a specialty in the arts. If it came to enduring high temperatures, Su Xiao couldn't compare to the Blacksmith. If it came to fighting, the Blacksmith would likely die in Su Xiao's hands.

"It's a bracer, protecting even the hands, right."

"Hmm."

"It will take at least until tomorrow to complete. If only there were wine."

"After reforging, there will be good wine."

"Not now?"

The Blacksmith pulling the bellows became interested.

"..."

Su Xiao pointed to the scorching red wall. If he took out wine now, it would be roasted and explode. The Blacksmith understood and continued to pay attention to the temperature changes in the furnace.

After Su Xiao stayed in the church for a few hours, he walked out from the front door. He was going to find the Ghost Snake Sisters. Even if he didn't have the Black King set now, if they really fought, he wouldn't be afraid at all.

Thin mist was still surging in the sky, the dim moon had hidden, and the sun was emitting a faint light. The entire Doom Town seemed to be a bit brighter, but this change was hard to detect.
