"As you know, I'm a supernatural craftsman. There is not a single supernatural craftsman who does not crave precious materials. ”

Starfire said as he pointed in the direction of the cliff and the mouth of the huge cavern connected to the mountain:

"I've spent months locking down this cave by all means to create a new transcendent item, convinced that it may well contain a rare 'Weeping Fountain'!

"The Weeping Fountain is believed to be a spring of thousands of unjust souls that weep forever and can be used as a core ingredient to cast powerful necromantic spells and rituals, and its value is immeasurable.

"As long as I can get my hands on the spring of the Weeping Fountain, I'll be able to create an extraordinarily powerful necromantic artifact!"

Well, from what I know of you, the extraordinary items you create may not be as effective as you think...... Wait, necromantic spells and rituals?

Russell suddenly remembered something: "Can the ritual of creating and spreading some kind of great plague also be made of the Fountain of Weeping?" ”

"It's beyond my knowledge, but ...... It should be possible. Xinghuo hesitated to say his speculation.

Sure enough, there may be a connection between Starfire's encounter and the occult flu...... Russell asked again, "Looks like you're in a little trouble?" ”

"Yes, this cave containing the Weeping Fountain is guarded by two Medusas. These two Medusa also used petrification magic to create a large number of gargoyles, and did not let anyone step into the cave at all.

"It seems that I can only give up this plan for the time being."

Xinghuo said, showing a somewhat regretful expression.

Medusa is a fairly high-level supernatural creature.

Even most of the students in the academy should be vigilant when facing a single Medusa, as long as they keep looking directly at Medusa, the flesh will gradually petrify and even turn into a real stone statue.

And the students of the junior college, just by seeing Medusa, they will be instantly petrified, even if a large group comes, they lack the qualifications to face Medusa, and they will only add a bunch of stone statues to Medusa's lair.

If there was only one Medusa in the cave, it would be fine, two Medusas plus a dozen gargoyles who obeyed orders, it was not at all something she could possibly challenge!

"I see." Russell bowed his head slightly and thought for a moment.

It seems that if you want to find the clue to this occult disease, you still need to contact the weeping fountain in the cave.

"Wait a minute, I have a question."

Russell raises his own puzzles:

"Why do these supernatural creatures guard that pool of spring water like the monsters guarding treasure chests in the game? Just to keep it from others. I've also heard Subway say that it's always a monster to protect it.

"Is this any good for these monsters?

"Has anyone hired them to guard these precious materials and pay them a salary?"

Yes?

Starfire was stunned by Russell's question, and thought for a while before answering:

"I don't know about other precious materials, but the Weeping Fountain does affect the minds of the surrounding monsters, causing the souls of powerful supernatural creatures to be distorted and polluted, and spontaneously guard the vicinity of the spring."

After getting the answer he wanted, Russell said:

"I can help you find a way to go deep into the cave and get the spring water you want!"

Xinghuo's expression was slightly surprised: "You have a way?" ”

Even if Russell was willing to help, he was only a second-year student, and he might be good enough in the elementary school, but there was too little he could do in the face of high-level transcendent creatures, and it was unlikely that he would be able to help much.

Yes, at the beginning of the chat, Starfire had already seen the bronze badge on Russell's chest representing herbalism and his status as a sophomore student, knowing that he had been promoted to sophomore.

"By the way, have you made anything new and strange otherworldly that deviates from expectations? If there is, I can consider buying a little. And these items may help us in our plans for the future. Russell said.

The batch of transcendent items he bought from Starfire before was cheap and easy to use, which made Russell have a good impression of this supernatural craftsman!

Xinghuo's face suddenly became gloomy:

"In your mind, can't I make something normal and as expected?"

I don't know when the female ghost wind chime that has appeared behind Russell is very surprised:

"So you can still make normal supernatural items?"

Starfire took a deep breath and another breath, and his face turned gentle:

"None of the extraordinary items I've made lately have deviated significantly from expectations. There are only one or two items that have some side effects in addition to achieving their original effects......"

As he spoke, Starfire turned the crimson ring on his finger and took out a purple ornate belt from the storage ring.

"This belt, for example, has the effect of making the wearer resistant to fire and cold."

"What are the side effects?"

"Let the wearer switch genders."

"Huh?"

"Unfortunately, this side effect is too sensitive. I'm worried that someone will mind the side effects and won't be able to sell it. Starfire stared at the gorgeous purple belt in his hand, his eyes revealing a bit of regret.

The two looked at each other, and the air fell silent.

"It's a complete mistake!" Russell frowned, looking like he hated iron but not steel, "When you advertise this belt, you should just say that it's a transgender belt, and it also comes with an extra feature that enhances the resistance to fire and cold. ”

To prove his words, Russell took out his phone.

The network signal within the academy is a occult network signal with supernatural elements, which travels farther! Because it has not yet completely entered the depths of the dense forest, there is still a weak network signal here.

He posted a message in the trading area of the official website.

"I have a transgender belt that reverses the genders, does anyone want it? The highest bidder wins.

"Oh, and by the way, the belt has an extra little function that enhances the wearer's resistance to fire and cold."

Within 5 minutes of posting the message, a flood of replies came in, asking for the specifics of the belt, with each bid getting higher than the other.

"Is it really a transgender belt, can you really switch genders directly?"

"I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to bring the monkfish at home and try it."

Seeing that the transcendent items he had carefully created were very popular, Starfire's expression was very exciting.

Russell also asked about the details of how the belt works:

"After I put this belt on and take it off, will the side effects end?"

"It's not going to end. The moment it is worn, a side effect that lasts for 24 hours is applied. Starfire shook her head.

If she could take off the belt and directly end the side effects, she wouldn't have thought that the side effects were too big before, after all, when the belt was really needed, it might be a short period of fighting.

Russell's pupils dilated slightly, and he immediately grasped the bug in the item:

In other words, this belt can be applied to everyone in the academy, as long as one person wears it and immediately takes it off, and immediately puts it on the other person.

"Oh my God, Starfire, you've made an artifact!"

Russell picked up his phone and added the message below the original product information.
