Chapter 8: The Foundry's Story
"I was originally a person who was confident to the point of pride, because I had capital self-confidence, and I was not only one of the best casters in the mainland, but also one of the most powerful mages in the mainland. β
"It may sound hard to understand, how can a forger be a mage?"
This conflict of opposites seems to others to be the same as the conflict between black and white, light and dark. β
"My presence broke people's conventional thinking, and that's what I'm most proud of. β
"This pride continued to ferment, and it evolved into my idea to build this weapon. β
"If a mage can be the greatest caster, why can't light and darkness merge together? I want my work to shine as brightly as I do!"
"I started trying to combine these two elements into one weapon, and at first I failed many times, which made people constantly dissuade me on the grounds that it was for my own good, but this was only their superficial rhetoric, and I knew that they would laugh at me whimsically and even slander me behind my back. β
"But I'm not angry, because I felt it when I was ready to learn casting after becoming a mage, and it was I who won in the end. β
"I can understand them, they are a group of inferiority complexes, they don't have the courage to go to the desolation, they only dare to follow in the footsteps of their predecessors, they are afraid that their inferiority complex will be revealed because of my presence, so they keep slandering me, encouraging everyone to laugh at me, and calling me a heretic behind my back. But I am not afraid of what they do, because I see their fragility and pathos, and I pity them. β
"Although I am very confident, but the difficulty of casting will not be reduced because of my confidence, it seems that the heaven and the earth are not allowed to tolerate light and darkness, and I have been defeated again and again. β
"Later, by chance, I suddenly had an inspiration, light and darkness cannot be directly fused, but if a third nature force appears to neutralize them, will there be hope. β
"After that, I tried to use the power of the elements to neutralize light and darkness. β
"But I still failed, but I also gained something, because through experiments, I learned that it is not that light and darkness are irreconcilable, but that the essence of the elemental power as a neutralizing body is too violent, and the power level is too low, and I need to find a high-level power that is higher than the power of light and darkness. β
"I thought of the power of time and space, but at that time, with the strength of a great mage of mine, I couldn't control it, so he was naturally not suitable as a neutralizer. β
"I thought of the power of the contract again, many high-level weapons actually have the shadow of the power of the contract, such as the legendary equipment that needs to recognize the master, in fact, it is the power of the contract. So I managed to join the power of the contract, but the power of the contract met the power of light and darkness, which made the power of light and darkness even more explosive, and it only had the ability to amplify, and it could not play a role in reconciliation. β
"There aren't many high-level powers that can be controlled by humans, and apart from those two, all I can know is the power of the bloodline and the power of the soul. β
"The power of bloodline, also known as the power of inheritance, it is not a kind of power that can be solidified by physical existence, but more like something between substantive power and spiritual power, and its inheritance also reflects this, although it is popularly called the power of blood, just because it can be carried by blood. But the power of inheritance does not need to be related by blood, what is needed is spiritual empathy. Naturally, I don't have this kind of power, but I know a strong warrior who has this kind of power. β
So I used more than thirty treasures in exchange for his help in forging my weapons. β
"The effect did not disappoint me, the light and darkness were really fused under the effect of the power of the bloodline. β
"I thought I had succeeded, but after the casting was successful, I slowly discovered that the power of light and darkness is not really fused, and their fusion is still not listening to the power of the bloodline, that is to say, once the power of the bloodline disappears, the power of light and darkness will be redivided, and my conjecture of the coexistence of the three forces and the harmony of one still fails. β
"Later, I learned that this weapon is the casting method of the vampire blade in ancient legends, and only by continuously providing a strong bloodline power can this weapon be strong. β
"I still failed, it turns out that the path I took is also the path that my predecessors have walked. When I thought of this, I collapsed directly. β
"But I didn't give in so easily, and after a while, I rekindled my fighting spirit. β
"I said that I had fighting spirit, but in fact, I was driven crazy by myself, and I began to try to add a fourth power on the basis of light and darkness and the power of bloodlineβthe power of the soul. β
"The power of the soul is not the spiritual power, it is higher than the level of the spiritual power, because the spiritual power is attached to the material foundation of the body, and the power of the soul is different, it is determined from the moment it appears. Soul power, in the long river of history, there are not a few guys who dare to say that they understand the power of soul. My time was even more unfortunate, there was none. β
"But I was not reconciled, I searched in every possible way, and finally found a lich who was a little bit of research on the soul, and paid the price of decades of life force to obtain some of his research on the power of the soul. β
"Then I learned that the reason why it is difficult to study the power of the soul is because of the bondage of the body, the body and the soul are not born together, the body is more like a prison for the soul. β
"So after that, I did the boldest and most impulsive thing of my life, but also the greatest thing I felt in my life, and I killed myself. β
"To be precise, I kill my physical body, as a mage, I have strong mental power, and after the death of my physical body, as long as I find a suitable carrier within a certain period of time, I can still continue to live. β
"But I didn't do that, wouldn't I just run from one cage to another?"
"I began to seize the limited time I had to study myself, to study the power of the soul. β
"Eventually, I gradually learned all the ways to manipulate the power of the soul, but the remaining time was not enough for me to continue my research. β
"So with the help of the lich, I first completed a new work that fused the power of light and darkness and the power of blood, and then I manipulated the power of the soul to join the three forces. Due to the difference in the nature of the soul power and the three forces, there is no fusion or resistance, and this is what I need most. Under the control of the power of the soul, the three forces finally reached a perfect balance and were no longer consumed. β
"And I, I no longer have the ability to exist, I wanted to let myself die in my own works, but I didn't expect that in this balanced space, I couldn't feel the erosion of the power of life and death on me, and I seemed to have gained immortality in weapons. β
"Later, my weapon was given to a powerful warrior by the Lich according to my wishes, and later, I witnessed the shattering of the Bright Continent. β
"I drifted with the fragments of the Greens Forest, and was later found by the King of the Realm, he told me that my energy is too strong, and with me, it will be difficult to maintain the existence of the Greens Forest, so I divided the power of light and darkness into two weapons, one stayed underground with the master, and the other followed the King of the Realm, I left the stable space, and naturally I was going to die, but the King of the Realm didn't want my end to be so miserable, he let me live on the weapon he carried, and he used his power to maintain my existence. β
"Later, of course, you got the one underground, and then I felt too bored, so I asked the king of the realm to give you the one in his hand, the one I live in, and I want to go outside and have a look. However, after you synthesize two weapons, the pressure on the fragmented world is too great, but fortunately, you won't stay in the Green Forest for too long, so I teamed up with the King of the Realm to create a seal, and although it won't work for a long time, it's not too much trouble in a short time. β
"In other words, what you have been using before is not the body of the weapon, but the sealing part of the weapon, and the one you see now is the real weapon. β
"As for these two guys, I don't know them, I don't know which interface they are, but it seems to be difficult to deal with, but don't worry, because the weapon has blood and light and darkness, as well as the power of the soul, you can cause damage to them with the body of the weapon, as for whether you can beat it, I don't know. β
