"By the way, there's something I forgot to tell you......" Lin Li held the hammer in his hand and smiled a little maliciously: "In addition to being a crappy warrior, I am also a good blacksmith, you should know the blacksmith, right?" So I advise you to be honest, if you really want to me off, I'll throw you into the furnace and see if the legendary Mjolnir will melt as well. ”

As Lin Li's words came out, the strange hammer in his hand suddenly stopped struggling, and after a long time, Lin Li heard a dry voice coming: "You...... What do you want to know? ”

"Where you came from." After Lin Li finished smiling, he kindly reminded him: "Attention-it's your real origin, it's not some hellish Thor's hammer, I really don't know what you think, you won't look in the mirror before installing Thor's hammer?" Look at yourself, you are covered in potholes, more disabled than those old women who have been receiving guests for decades, just like this, you still dare to call yourself the Black Iron Dwarf Holy Relic, do you have any shame? ”

“……”

"Forget it, don't talk nonsense, be honest yourself, I really don't have much patience......"

"You guessed it right, I'm not a relic......" After a long silence, Hammer finally spoke, "I'm just a imprisoned soul. ”

"Yes." Lin Li nodded, motioning for it to continue.

"One thing I have to clarify, regarding the Dawn Mark on your hand, I really just want to borrow it, and there is no malice at all." Perhaps it was a real fear of being thrown into the furnace, but this time Hammer finally became honest, and before answering Lin Li's question, he didn't forget to defend himself first: "My origin is a long, long story, and it has nothing to do with this matter, if you must know, I can tell you one last time, and before that, you can call me Conneris, this is my name before I was killed by Osric." ”

"Alright, Conneris, tell me first, what is the purpose of you asking for this Dawn Mark?"

"I need to use it to control the Eternal Crucible."

"It can control the Eternal Crucible?"

"Yes, you should know the origin of the Dawn Mark, it belongs to the Great Lord Osric, as far as I know, during Osric's lifetime, this ring almost never left his body, even today, 1,200 years later, there is still a trace of Osric's spiritual power on it, to some extent, it is equivalent to the inheritance of the Great Lord's spiritual imprint, which is why, you can pass through the Ashes Gate unharmed."

"That trace of spiritual power is still there?" Lin Li was a little puzzled, he remembered that before the duel with Cromwell, he had also integrated a spiritual imprint into it, and because of this, he had insight into the secret of the ring, according to common sense, there should not be two spiritual imprints on a piece of magical equipment, otherwise, it would be like a red apricot going out of the wall, something would definitely happen.

"Do you want to say that you have also left your own spiritual imprint on it?" Conneris didn't answer directly, but instead asked Lin Li a question.

"En......"

"This is actually not a contradiction, if I guess correctly, what you have is only an incomplete form of the Dawn Mark, and what you have is only a small part of it, Osric's spiritual imprint is still sleeping in the depths of the Dawn Mark, otherwise, your strength will not be as weak as this, it is no exaggeration to say that completely mastering the power of the Dawn Mark is almost equivalent to another Osric!"

"Damn, is it so powerful?"

Conneris's words almost didn't make Lin Li bite his tongue, when he was in the Nightmare Mountains, Lin Li knew that this was a powerful magical equipment, but he didn't dare to imagine that this thing would be so powerful, what is the concept of another Osric? That is a character who can fight against seven legendary powerhouses with the strength of one person, and can still win the battle, if he really has such power, even if he sweeps the entire kingdom of Fran with a wave of his hand, it is by no means a myth.

"I know you don't believe it, but in fact it's so powerful, let me tell you the truth, 1,200 years ago, I died under the power of the Dawn Mark."

“……”

"Forget it, let's not talk about it." Probably reminded of the sad past, Conneris was a little depressed when he said this, and after a long silence, he continued: "Actually, this is the reason why I borrowed this Dawn Mark from you. ”

"What is the reason?"

"It could free me from this damn hammer and give me a new body."

"New body?"

"That's right." Conneris's voice sounded a little smug: "What I'm going to tell you now is a real secret, except for Osric himself, I'm afraid only I know, I have witnessed almost everything Osric did during the decades when my soul was imprisoned, and he was not wary of me, and sometimes even told me some of his thoughts, and this secret was told to me by Osric himself." ”

Lin Li almost subconsciously held his breath, he instinctively believed that what he was about to hear would be an earth-shattering secret.

"The true eternal furnace is not forged, but used to create the ...... of life"

"What did you say?" Lin Li almost squirted out a mouthful of saliva.

"How much do you know about the High Elf race?" Conneris still didn't answer the rhetorical question.

"High Elves?" Lin Li was asked a little inexplicably, and after recalling it for a long time, he said what he saw from the book one by one, and added a few words of his own opinion from time to time, and it took nearly ten minutes to answer this question.

"These madmen even think they are gods." In the end, Lin Li summed it up with such a sentence.

"So there's the Eternal Crucible." Conneris's voice sounded unhurried.

Lin Li swallowed violently: "Don't you want to tell me that Osric's purpose in establishing the Eternal Crucible is to prove that he is a god, right?" ”

"You guessed it right."

"He's crazy......"

"He's not crazy." Conneris's voice was not loud, but it was unusually certain: "Yes, in his later years, Osric did a lot of unexpected things, killing 100,000 humans in one night, conquering the Black Iron Dwarves for a momentary interest, and building a huge mausoleum for himself, but I can tell you with certainty that Osric was not crazy, on the contrary, he was more sober than ever in his old age, do you know why he killed those 100,000 humans?" ”

"How do I know ......" Lin Li rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, how could a normal person like Lao Tzu understand Osric's perverted thoughts?

"Because it takes a lot of soul samples to create life."

"Perverted ......"

"That's right, this guy is really a pervert." Conneris scolded excitedly, and then sighed helplessly: "But you have to admit that Osric is not an ordinary pervert, at that time even I thought that it was impossible to create life, but no one thought that it took only ten years for Osric to almost succeed......"

Lin Li frowned: "Why is it almost a little?" ”

"Because strictly speaking, what he has created cannot be called a living ......"

"What the hell did he create?"

"I don't know what it is...... Conneris's answer was a little inexplicable: "I only know that after this failure, Osric became a little neurotic, often inexplicably manic, many important members of the magic legion, was killed by him during that time, and when he calmed down, Osric would regret kneeling in front of the corpse of the dead and confessing, and when he repented, the most common thing he said was - I'm sorry, I don't want to do this, but, but he's coming back......"

"What is the origin of the person Osric said?"

"I don't know, Osric never said it, I just remember that after the failure to create life, Osric seemed to be a different person, frantically plundering the wealth of other races, and using this wealth to build a huge mausoleum, you should have heard of that mausoleum, right? At least hundreds of thousands of humans died when this mausoleum was built, and it is impossible for you humans not to have a record in your books......"

"Well, I've heard of some."

"Well, are you interested in that mausoleum?" Conneris is worthy of being a monster who has been with Osric for hundreds of years, and at this time, he has not forgotten the temptation: "If you are interested, I can give you some clues in exchange for the Mark of Dawn, what do you think?" ”

"Not good!" Lin Li replied angrily, he was really angry and funny by this guy, when did it happen, he hadn't forgotten to lure himself.

It's a pity that he chose the wrong object of temptation, Lin Li knows very well how many catties and taels he has, and the mausoleum of the great lord, how can anyone enter it casually? Without the strength of the Magic Guild or the Adventurer's Guild, don't even think about it, all kinds of traps, maybe there are countless curses waiting for you...... Besides, what can just a few clues do? If you really want clues, I'll go to Medellin, and I still need to exchange with you?

"It's a pity...... Conneris was not discouraged when he couldn't be tempted, but he said again to himself: "When the mausoleum was built, Osric came to the Eternal Forge for the last time, and that time I saw with my own eyes that he used the essence of the earth element, plus a pile of steel, and intricate magic patterns, to create something close to life. ”

"What's that?"

"This thing ......" Conneris hesitated: "I don't know how to describe it, in short, it's a very strange thing, it has no consciousness of its own, it doesn't have a soul of its own, it's purely the most primitive instinct, even when its creator Osric attacks it, it dares to resist!" ”

"Oh......" Lin Li nodded, and didn't continue to ask.

He had already understood, the essence of the earth element, the incomparably hard steel, and the complex mystical magic patterns, weren't these exactly what was necessary to create a puppet? Lin Li remembered very well that one of the branches of alchemy was specialized in puppet manufacturing, and it was said that after reaching the level of a god craftsman, the puppets produced were even comparable to the ancient Titans.

But this has nothing to do with Lin Li, he has never chosen any branch, to a certain extent, he is a very traditional alchemist, taking the royal route of the alchemy array, the reason why he chose this is completely to cooperate with the inscription, the composite inscription of the grandmaster level, plus the alchemy array of the grandmaster level, can almost be described as omnipotent.

Most of the puppet knowledge he knows is from his peers, and it's okay to coax the layman, once it comes to the high-end field of life creation, he is not much better than Sheehan...... "The biggest disadvantage of these creations is that they don't have their own souls, but for me, this has become the biggest advantage, because when I was alive, I have been committed to the study of souls." ”

"Dedicated to the study of the soul?" Lin Li frowned, and asked with some confusion, "You were a necromancer when you were alive?" ”

"No, no, no...... How can a low-level profession like a necromancer be worthy of the noble identity of this hammer, let me tell you the truth, I am engaged in the soul business, as long as the price is right, any kind of soul can talk to me, whether it is low, noble, dirty, pure...... Are you interested? ”

"Holy, demon?"

"No, you should call me the Great Soul Merchant, Mr. Conneris the Great Philanthropist."

"Phew, demons are demons, what kind of great philanthropist, great soul merchant, doing this kind of immoral business, you deserve to be killed by Osric......"

"You're so unsympathetic......"

"Sympathize with a demon? What are you kidding......"

"Look at me now, can I still call it a demon?"

"You mean, you want to make a puppet that you can use to transfer your own soul?"

"Yes, yes, yes! How's that, can you help? I've been waiting for this day for a long time, this damn hammer is so damn that I really want to walk on my legs in my dreams......"

"What good can you give me?"

After hesitating for a long time, Conneris seemed to have finally made up his mind: "As long as you can help me, I will tell you the method of controlling the Eternal Furnace!" ”

"No, you tell me how to control the Eternal Forge first, and then I'll help you create a new body, in this order, you must not be mistaken."

Although "......" was a little reluctant, in front of the only chance, the great soul merchant also had to bow his noble head: "Deal, I hope you are the talk!" ”

"Don't worry, sincerity, although I'm not a hellish soul merchant, but I still understand this truth."

"Well, I believe in you!"

"You can only trust me......" Lin Li pursed his lips, not giving Conneris face at all, the matter is obvious, the Dawn Mark is its only hope, it doesn't know if it misses this opportunity and has to wait for thousands of years, with such a big handle in his hand, how can Lin Li be polite to it? Anyway, this guy is a demon, and Lin Li really doesn't have any psychological burden when he blackmails him.

One man hammered through the hallway, and soon came to a closed door.
