Chapter 299: The Flame Giant's Problem
Givens and Hetos walked into the temple of Hetos together, and the maids of Hetos hurriedly carried the injured Hull into the hall, and the birdman Quintus also appeared from invisibility at this moment, picked up the soulless body of the energy creature Doruna, and followed him into the temple gate.
Hetos led Givens deeper into the temple, and as he walked through the deep aisles, Givens suddenly asked, "Why is Doruna here?"
Shortly after Given's return to the Forbidden Space, Doruna rushed here to intercept him. This time, Tassan, the Spirit of Ironwood, seemed to react a little too quickly.
"Have you made a big fuss in the elven world, and there is more than one summoned beast that has seen you on the battlefield. As soon as he heard the news, this conceited and somewhat clever guy rushed here alone to intercept you. ”
"Do you think he wants to avoid the others?" Given, who had guessed Doruna's thoughts, the summoned beasts must have gained a lot of secrets from the Mage Castle.
"I probably thought you were a valuable prey and wanted to eat it for myself, but this guy didn't guess his end. There was even a hint of schadenfreude in Hetos's tone.
"He brought it on himself. ”
Jiwen could understand Doruna's arrogance, he must not have expected that extracting the soul of a summoned beast would be such a simple and easy move, otherwise he would not dare to be so bold and melee with himself.
As they talked, they walked to Hetos's research room, which was filled with Hetos' forging tools and stacked with countless works he had forged in the laboratory.
Looking at those weapons of different shapes, Givens deliberately asked, "Which weapon do you want me to inject soul into this time?"
Givens remembers that when he first gained the power of the Forge, the haughty Hetoth did not want to forge the work himself, preferring instead to receive a gift by infusing his soul into an existing weapon.
But this time, Hetos's answer was a little surprising to Jiwen, and the flame giant replied, "No need, I'll just accept the gift of the Forge of the Forge directly." ”
Hetos seemed to see through Given's surprise, and he calmly explained, "Don't be stunned, Given. You're not the same Jiwen you learned to forge in my temple anymore. It's not been that long since we last met, but I see how you feel like it's been eons of years. ”
Eons of time? Given's own recollection of how many years he spent with Adelia in that small, man-made space. If it weren't for Adelia capturing Vallet's desperate call on the battlefield, he would still be in that kaleidoscopic space.
In that endless passage of time, he read all the memories left to him by Adella's mother, tasted the fate of the sword and the crystal disk on him countless times, and of course, fused with the forges countless times, using the power of the furnace.
He was no longer the young and rough blacksmith.
Hetos felt this better than anyone, so he wanted to give it a try today and use the power of Givens to make something beyond his limits.
"You've truly mastered the Forge, so I trust you. ”
After saying that, Hetos took out the precious materials that had been sealed for many years and placed them in front of Jiwen, waiting for him to use the power of the furnace.
Faced with Hetos's waiting, Givens did not start work, but asked a question first: "Hetos, do you know why the long sword "Moonlight" you forged is not as good as "Destiny"?"
When asked this question, Hetos's facial muscles twitched. This question made his self-esteem uncomfortable, but he also clearly understood that although the longsword Moonlight infused with the spirit of the moon wolf was very powerful, it was far inferior compared to the three peerless works in the forge.
Fate is one of the three peerless works, the sand heroine Mingsha with destiny cut off the foundation of the entire demon dynasty with a single sword, allowing the elves to rise strongly.
Hetos also hopes that he can make works that can surpass the moonlight and be as powerful as fate. But for countless years, he had failed with only one step, and the weapons now piled up in this room were the best example.
"Is there something missing?" asked Hertos reluctantly.
"There is indeed one thing missing, in addition to the soul, we also need strong emotions!"
While absorbing the soul, the Forge's Forges also takes away the emotions that exist at the time, and finally infuses them into weapons or armor to form extraordinary magical powers.
The intrigues of the spirit, which hides in the forge, must have made against the recipient every time he issued a gift, on the one hand, to satisfy his evil desires, and on the other hand, to intensify the emotions of the recipient, so as to increase the power of the work.
The fate of the sword absorbed the love and jealousy that Mingsha experienced when facing Evans, so it could become a peerless cursed sword.
The Burning Spirit in his hands absorbs the pain of the previous Forging Spirit and the hatred of the Demon Remnant Soul in his body, and also has unique characteristics.
On the contrary, when he made his own phantom claw, because the technique was too immature, it only absorbed a trace of fear from the batman, which made the phantom claw lose a lot of color. If it were today, he would never have made such a low-level mistake.
"Emotions? Do you want to be like a spirit? Hetos was a little disappointed, and there didn't seem to be any intense emotions in this studio right now, unless Given's soul was tormented like a spirit.
Givens shook his head and replied, "Don't worry, I only need to ask you three questions." ”
Hearing this, the Flame Giant relaxed slightly, he found a stone chair and sat down, and said, "You start asking." ”
But what Hetos didn't expect was that Given's first question was to completely freeze the air.
"Hetoth, you're not a summoned beast, so how did you get locked up in this forbidden god space?"
Hetos's consciousness seemed to cease suddenly, and the time he remembered that had long been buried in dust was suddenly ignited by this question, and slowly regained his mind.
Nostalgia, hatred, confusion, despair...... Countless expressions appeared on the Flame Giant's face, and the flames on his body flickered with it, illuminating the entire studio.
It was a long time before Hetos muttered a question.
"How do you know?"
"It's just a coincidence, like your well-built palace, or like I happen to know the little secrets of this world. It wasn't long ago that Givens realized Hetoth's identity. Hetos's palace is home to all the treasures and tools he collected, the ladies he pampered, and even the works he regarded as life. But he never left any traps here, and he didn't set up guards.
For a summoned beast, all of his possessions were undefended during the time he was summoned. The fate suffered by the Mage's Fort is the best example of this. This is also the reason why the alliance of Tassan, the spirit of ironwood, can exist. At the very least, the summoned beasts in the alliance will follow the rules and will not plunder their possessions from each other.
Hetos never cared about the safety of his wealth, which meant that he didn't worry about the enemy sneaking in when he was summoned, or rather, he wouldn't leave at all.
More importantly, of course, when Jivin searched for the memories of the silver dragon, he discovered that even for the extremely long-lived dragons, the Furnace Fire Hetoth was a distant legend, a flame giant known for forging well-crafted weapons, and gaining a very high status in 10,000 years. Even the reliefs buried in the underground forging temple have the figure of Hetoth.
There has never been a record of an elf summoning Hetos, so when Gilvin learned through Adelia that the Forbidden God Space was most likely the product of space magic, he knew that Hetos might not be a summoned beast, but a captive bound by this Forbidden God Space.
When Giwen finished his speculation, Hetos did not confirm or deny Givin's claims, but spoke again after a long silence.
"Your speculation is wonderful, but what is your second question?"
"What do you know about the world?"
If Given's guess was correct, Hetos should know about the origin of this forbidden god space, and he would even know what happened in the moment before this forbidden god space was created.
But this time, Hetos's answer was more conservative.
"I do know something, but I can't tell you right now. Let's start with the last question. ”
Hetos's non-cooperation was expected. Givens had to throw the last killer move.
"If my guess is correct, this forbidden god space is nothing more than a temporary confinement made of space spells, and after being imprisoned for 10,000 years, do you want to regain your freedom?"
The two precious words "freedom" and "freedom" finally changed Hetos's attitude.
"Can you do it?"
"Yes. My summoner has the power of space spells, and she's even made an imitation of the Forbidden Space. ”
Hearing this explosive news, Hetos didn't get too excited, but just asked, "Is the ancestor of your summoner Evans?"
"Yes. Givens replied categorically.
Hetoth's expression suddenly became cheerful, as if he had solved the doubts that had been hidden in his heart for a long time. He immediately stood up, full of hope and longing, with great excitement and excitement, and made a loud proposal.
"I think we can do each other a favor. ”
Givenn nodded, and then quickly held up the right hand that stored Doruna's soul.
"Now that we're emotionally enough, we can start the Forge of God Forge gifts. ”
