Chapter 481: How the Elements Are Refined!
"So that's what you got by messing up my lab?" Yuna looked at Hogg's parchment, on which was a messy ball of thread and a strange-shaped box, and there was an arrow in the middle of the ball and the box, Yuna looked at it for a long time and didn't understand what Hogg was trying to express.

"This pattern refers to the soul!" Hogg pointed to the thread-like pattern and explained, apparently its hand-drawn records are completely worthy of soul painting in every sense of the word, so it must be explained: "I found some orcs before, uh, although these orcs were torn apart by the explosion, their souls can still be used, and I plan to use their souls as the main material to make an elemental furnace." ”
"Elemental Furnace? What is a term that has never been heard before? Yuna was still pondering what Hogg's blueprints were drawing, when she suddenly heard a new term that she had never heard before, and she asked with a puzzled expression.
"You can think of the Elemental Forge as a transformation device, and its role is to transform flesh and blood life into elemental life." Hogg explained that the core of this elemental furnace is to communicate with the elemental realm, and only by relying on the pure and powerful energy of the elemental realm can the flesh and blood life be completely transformed.
"Transforming flesh and blood into elemental life? Sounds awesome, but does it make any sense? Yuna asked curiously, and she simply ignored Hogg's soul painting style design, which was full of confusion and distortion, fully embodying the chaotic nature of Hogg, and even Yuna, who was a faceless being, could not understand it at all.
And now Yuna wondered how Hogg planned to transform flesh and blood life into elemental life, and why did it do so?
Elemental lifeforms have many advantages, such as their innate infinite lifespan, strong spell powers, no so-called vital points in their bodies, and the ability to regenerate after death.
But the weakness of the elementals is also very obvious, the elemental life does not have the slightest growth, their strength is fixed after they are formed, and does not become stronger with the passage of time.
Therefore, in Yuna's opinion, Hogg's painstaking efforts to transform flesh and blood life into elemental life are simply a matter that outweighs the cost: first of all, the process of transformation must be quite risky, and there will even be many unlucky people who die directly in the process; Although the strength of the elemental life that is transformed next will be stronger than before the transformation, the range of improvement that can be increased is extremely limited; And these elemental life forms have lost the possibility of becoming stronger.
"I've found a solution to the design flaw of the King's Decapitator once and for all, and that is to convert the King's Decapitator directly into elemental life!" Hogg said excitedly, it had obviously had similar thoughts for a long time, but it was only just now that it had found the most critical core technology from Siamette's soul on how to turn flesh and blood life into elements.
"Boring and ridiculously delusional, I was expecting you to give me some creative advice, and your answer was this?" Yuna's reaction was extremely cold, she shook her head slightly, and looked at Hogg with caring eyes.
"You don't seem to be optimistic about my idea, but I can guarantee that my idea will definitely solve the problem!" Hogg ignored Yuna's gaze, undoubtedly confident in his thoughts.
"Let me tell you what you did wrong!" Seeing Hogg's look full of confidence, Yuna could only shake her head helplessly again: "I won't say much about the risks in the transformation process, anyway, you have the confidence to overcome." But have you ever considered the difference between the painstaking effort to transform it into elemental life and the direct summoning of an elemental? ”
"Well, I guess my men will be more loyal when it comes to loyalty, right?" Yuna's question was very sharp and went straight to the heart of the matter, but Hogg stubbornly retorted to Yuna.
"Loyalty isn't an issue at all, not to mention how many spells we have that enslave the element. Let me ask you a question, can you guarantee that your men will retain their original memories and consciousness after they are transformed? Yuna asked, she was the embodiment of Yugsaron (the Faceless One) and was adept at spells such as the Flesh Curse, which in essence was the transformation of life forms.
In fact, as long as the transformation of life forms is involved, no matter what it is transformed or what it is transformed into, it is a very complex process, and it is simply unknown how much impact the transformation of the body and life form will have on the mind and will of the transformed.
Therefore, it is impossible to control how much loyalty the King Decapitator can maintain after being transformed into elemental life, so Hogg's so-called difference is also a joke.
"Alright! I'll admit you're right, but it seems to me that there's only one way to fix the design flaws of the King's Decapitator, and that's to rely on the power of spells, and maybe we can try to make the King's Decapitator a flesh and blood creature with elemental characteristics! Hogg had to give up on the idea of completely transforming the King's Decapitator into elemental life, but it still didn't give up on building the Elemental Furnace.
"Let me think about it...... Well, maybe we can create some really tiny elemental life, like elemental parasites! These tiny elemental parasites are then injected into the body of the King Decapitator, and as long as these elemental parasites can be controlled, the King Decapitator will gain spell casting abilities! Hogg immediately had a new idea, which was essentially the same as the one he had considered indirectly strengthening the gnolls with xenomorph armor.
This time, Yuna didn't contradict Hogg, and she was lost in thought.
"In fact, it doesn't take any complicated techniques to control parasites, whether it's pheromone induction or spiritual resonance, it can achieve very good results, but I'm not sure if these methods are suitable for what you call elemental parasites." Yuna said this after much thought, and she wasn't quite sure if these methods of dealing with regular parasites would work until she had seen the elemental parasites Hogg spoke of.
"So let's build the Elemental Forge first, and as for the other problems, we can solve them little by little!" Seeing that Yuna was also impressed, Hogg struck while the iron was hot, and decided to get the elemental furnace he had envisioned first, and then consider other things.
