"Was it from the refiner of the Realm? I hadn't heard of this person's deeds of refining artifacts before, but I didn't expect it to be amazing in one fell swoop, and I must take the time to meet this bold refining master in the future. ”

I've heard of Cthulhu, but he doesn't seem to know that Evil Mouth was killed in the Badgar and disappeared.

"Evil Mouth Laojun, he poured his life into this artifact, and his body is no longer in this world." Zhang Chen stated in a low voice.

"It's a pity, the person who gave his life for the refining deserves anyone's respect."

Cthulhu placed his hands on his chest in sincere respect for the artifact in front of him, and then continued, "Such a unique and perfect artifact is enough to rank in the top ten on the artifact list. ”

"Artifact list?" Zhang Chen heard about it for the first time.

"Yes, most people basically don't know, this list is a book jointly written by several of our artifact foundries, which lists the artifacts known from ancient times to the present, and a few of our old guys conduct a detailed analysis of the attributes of each artifact, and rank the artifacts through comprehensive scoring."

"Can you lend it to me?" Zhang Chen was shocked, he didn't expect the other party to have such a book.

If he knew the information of all the current artifacts, Zhang Chen could almost understand the basic abilities of some strong people, which would be of great help in combat.

"It's taboo to look at the artifact list, and we refiners have the responsibility to keep the artifact information confidential for our employers. This book was made only for a few of us founders to compare and see, and to find out the shortcomings of the artifact and the areas that could be improved. ”

"Yes."

Zhang Chen thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed impossible to make such important information public. And even if he uses strong means to win the artifact list, I'm afraid he won't be able to access the internal information.

"But what I can tell you is that the current artifacts are mainly weapons, followed by enhanced accessories. Finally, there is the personal protective gear. Like me, there is no second master of refining weapons, and I am afraid that there is indeed no second one. ”

"Why is there so little demand for talisman artifacts? In my opinion, some creatures are extremely destructive, but their physical defenses are so poor that it is better to make a personal armor than a weapon to enhance their life-saving power. Zhang Chen asked the question in his heart.

"You're right, it's precisely because of what you said that there is a very small amount of personal protective artifact, otherwise I'm afraid there is no personal protective gear at all."

"This ......"

"Actually, one of the main reasons here is all of you. Including the Eighth Apostle, you have problems with your understanding of the protective artifact. Everyone regarded the armor artifact as a layer of protection, thinking that it would increase their own defense. ”

"Could it be that there is no other understanding of the protective gear?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Armor not only strengthens your defenses, but also maximizes your strength. I, Cthulhu, once had a perfect work at the level of a body protection artifact, and its role was definitely no less than that of a weapon artifact. This artifact is known only to me and my employer, and does not appear on the public artifact. ”

Hearing Cthulhu's new concept interpretation of the talisman artifact, Zhang Chen felt that he must have found the right person.

"Master Cthulhu, I'm going to have to trouble you next." Zhang Chen immediately addressed the other party with honorifics.

"As I said, I haven't touched a refining vessel for eight hundred years. The technique is necessarily not as subtle as it was at its peak. If there is any mishap in the middle that leads to the failure of the artifact refining, don't blame me, and I don't know if I can completely control this candle dragon bone. ”

"Well, what do you need to do next?" Zhang Chen Judging from the conversation with Cthulhu, the other party must be a person who can be trusted.

"Since you are not asking me to design it without any subjective opinion, I must have a thorough understanding of your body. First of all, come with me to customize the room. I need to get comprehensive data on your body for analysis. ”

The chamber inside the cavern at the bottom of the Endless Sea also seems to be a demonstration of Cthulhu's skills, and the whole is interconnected with Cthulhu. With a wave of the arm, a door opens.

"Put your artifact away and come in with me."

Follow Cthulhu through a membrane similar to the entrance of the cave to a predominantly pale blue room, where the temperature immediately drops to minus 100 degrees Celsius.

"What's a weird temperature span for you here?" Zhang Chen couldn't help asking.

"No way, the special analytical substance in the body analysis room is the microorganism I brought out of the chaos, which shows maximum activity at minus 100 degrees Celsius. Analyze the body of an organism with maximum efficiency and accuracy. I don't like the temperature either, it's still 5,000 degrees Celsius for life. ”

Zhang Chen was speechless for a while when he saw the cute Cthulhu in front of him, an out-and-out weirdo.

"My devices haven't been updated, they're all relatively old. Now that you need to lie inside the sarcophagus in front, I will analyze your system through an ancient and unique method. According to the characteristics of the candle dragon's backbone, the most suitable protective artifact is screened. ”

Zhang Chen saw a huge sarcophagus placed in the center of the room, and jumped directly into it and lay down.

"Then there's a chaotic microbes swarmed around your body, with some pins and needles and a cold sensation, and the whole process will take twelve hours. Believe me, minimizing the protection of the whole body will help to improve the analysis process. ”

With Zhang Chen making an 'OK' gesture, the sarcophagus closed and a large amount of liquid material poured in around it.

As Cthulhu recounts, as the microorganisms in the liquid take root on the surface of Zhang Chen's body skin as a medium, the cold pinprick sensation spreads throughout the body.

In fact, this microorganism is intrinsically related to the original origin of Cthulhu, and Cthulhu itself can obtain details of Zhang Chen's current body by contacting the microorganism.

With this ancient method of body analysis, Cthulhu is the only one in the entire Zero Room.

The perspective of Zhang Chen's body is currently presented in Cthulhu's head, and it has been refined over time.

"Curious body, real ghost, human origin, top beast ......"

In the process of observing the perspective, with the perfect monitoring of Zhang Chen's body, Cthulhu couldn't help but sigh.

In the last two hours, while analyzing the consciousness level of Zhang Chen's brain, Cthulhu suddenly discovered a strange object hidden in the depths of Zhang Chen's consciousness. However, when Cthulhu tried to touch the strange substance deeply, a sense of death in the endless abyss haunted his body.

"What!"

His body trembled, and Cthulhu immediately broke away from the connection with Zhang Chen's body, and a large amount of sweat overflowed from Cthulhu's back in human form.

"What was it just now...... It was so terrifying, this feeling of forced death had only been felt when I had seen Azathoth in his own body, and there was something terrifying in the depths of this kid's consciousness. ”

Cthulhu's beard wiped the sweat from his forehead and opened the sarcophagus, pretending that nothing had happened.

"The analysis process is not bad, your body data is relatively large, I now need to merge your body with the candle dragon bone for analysis, and the time is about three hours. I'll give you a few simulated artifact armor results for you to choose from, and you don't have to run around in the meantime. ”

"I'm in trouble."

Zhang Chen didn't notice what Cthulhu had found in the depths of his consciousness, and quietly waited for the other party to analyze and deal with the problem.

In front of him, Cthulhu sat motionless in the room, his brain processing information and data calculated in parallel by hundreds of supercomputers.

At this moment, Zhang Chen also understood why the original Cthulhu would ask for a design fee, and it turned out that the whole design process would be so complicated.

For three hours, sit cross-legged and wait.

"That's it! With such a complex body and such noble materials, at least hundreds of billions of my brain cells have been lost! If it were according to my standards, I am afraid that some artifact materials would be needed as the cost of analysis, which is really cheap for you. ”

Immediately afterward, Cthulhu exhibited a rather peculiar technique, controlling the fluttering beard of his face, secreting a gravity-impervious substance from the tip to construct a three-dimensional map of information in the air.

A total of four artifacts simulated and designed by Cthulhu were displayed in front of Zhang Chen, and the form, detailed analysis, use conditions and functions, and theoretical artifact ratings of each artifact were displayed in detail.

"You think about it yourself here, there is more information, I will go to the room to rest, I still don't get used to such a cold environment. Are you going to come with me? The infographic is made up of my secretions, which can be stored and transferred at will. ”

"No, it's good to stay here."

Compared with -100 °C and 5000 °C, Zhang Chen naturally chose the former more appropriately, and the artifact product simulated by Cthulhu in front of him had completely attracted Zhang Chen's attention.

The first item is a pair of shin guards made of dragon bones, worn on the calf, with a slightly protruding dragon head on the surface, which looks quite domineering, and even has a faint spitting of dragon breath at the dragon's mouth.

"Keel Leg Shin"
