Chapter 574
Enhancement 3
Lorna knew very well that this deal was definitely not that simple.
Killing Yacaticto would come at a high price... and might even result in death.
“I can fight Yacaticto with you, but fighting her cannot be based on sacrificing me.”
"You must come up with a realistic and feasible plan. If I think the risks I need to take in the plan are not justified, I will not implement it until you come up with a truly feasible plan."
"Of course, within the premise of a transaction, I will also evaluate your plan very objectively."
Lorna then made her additional request.
The gray mist in front of him chuckled faintly: "Hehehe, as expected of a businessman, always prioritizing his own interests no matter what."
"To think you can become the moon of October without any problems is a bit too much of a dream, isn't it?"
Rona smiled and replied, "If becoming Moonbeam doesn't bring freedom, and one is merely a pawn to be used, then it's better not to be Moonbeam at all."
"The core premise for a deal to be reached must be mutual benefit."
"If this matter is not in my interest, why would I make a deal with you?"
Even though Eg's Mass is a moon, Rona still doesn't hold back.
After a brief silence, Aiguemasa replied, "Even I would not be able to guarantee my survival in a life-or-death battle against Yacaticto."
"But I can guarantee that if you die, I will die with you."
"So I will try my best to make a plan that will allow both of us to survive."
Rona narrowed her eyes slightly.
She was well aware of the dangers of the Moonlit War... It was impossible to avoid paying a price.
“If you give this guarantee, the deal can be done,” Lorna agreed.
"I don't think you, guest, have any self-destructive tendencies."
Aegis Mass: "Nature."
Lorna took another sip of tea: "Then, let's conclude the transaction agreement."
……
【Moon Sea – The Place Where the Moon Can Be Seen】
The tallest tower in the Land of the Moon is the Mage Tower of Loren. Even in today's Loren, mages remain the mainstay profession.
The master has disappeared again.
Ugh.
Master is always so in a hurry. Sister Yuna said that Master always has important things to do... The whole world may be waiting for Master to save it.
Mo Cheng actually felt that this period of time had been a dream.
Soon after he could remember, Mount Wujie was constantly engulfed in war, which made Mo Cheng much more precocious than children of ordinary times.
Because I have lived in a life-or-death crisis since I was a child.
In the last few days.
In just one month, he experienced the pain and despair of his entire city and clan being wiped out, and was then seen by Lu Cang, awakening his god-level talent and becoming the disciple of this powerful being.
In Mo Cheng's eyes, Lu Cang was simply an unattainable being.
I heard that my master is so powerful that he quelled the demonic turmoil in the Moon Sea. He can easily hunt down level 8 demons and is powerful enough to slay gods.
Everything about it seems like a legend.
Even such a powerful master seems to always have his troubles. Mo Cheng can't imagine what kind of troubles such a powerful being like his master must face.
Even if he possessed only one ten-thousandth of his master's strength, he should have been able to save everyone in the city back then.
They saved the soldier who died protecting them, didn't they?
But now, as long as Lu Cang is here...
I felt that everything would be safe and secure.
……
Regarding Root Magic, his own god-like talent, and the combination of focused magic... Mo Cheng indeed had many questions.
My master has profound insights into magic; once he returns, I must seize the opportunity to ask him about it thoroughly.
Mo Cheng supported himself on the table with his hands.
Manipulating the fire element with his mind, he writes and draws on fire-writing paper, perfecting the prototype of the second Concentration Magic.
Actually, Mo Cheng had another idea.
The magician's path is to find the answer to the root cause, but can this path be reversed? Instead of seeking the answer to the root cause, can the root cause become the solution, and the question become the answer?
This idea is vague.
It was even criticized as absurd by the court magicians of Loren.
When Lu Cang was away, other court magicians were responsible for guiding Mo Cheng. When this idea came from Mo Cheng, all the court magicians were shocked.
Absolutely impossible. How could the root cause be solved by an individual?
Are you going to use magic while simultaneously creating your own method, placing it alongside the Root? And having the Root interpret your magic?
Fantasy.
For a level 2 mage to think about such absurd things is simply wishful thinking!
However, out of consideration for Lu Cang, these magicians could only offer kind words of advice.
However, behind the scenes, absurd judgments were made.
With a weak foundation and a castle in the air, because he has latched onto Lu Cang, he has become unrealistic and spends his days indulging in daydreams.
While magic requires boundless imagination, it also needs to be grounded in theory and practice. Otherwise, if one is too arrogant, one is prone to straying into the wrong path of magic, or even going mad and never being able to escape it for the rest of one's life.
Mo Cheng was also somewhat confused, unsure whether his thinking was correct.
But the master will definitely be able to provide a clear direction.
Wait for him to come back.
Tell him about this idea.
Mo Cheng was perfecting his idea on paper when, just then, the black crystal placed beside the table cracked and shattered into two pieces.
Mo Cheng suddenly raised his head.
He stared blankly in the direction of the stone.
……
About 2 minutes later.
One after another, figures arrived at the Mage Tower.
Luluwei, Elosa, and Xiumi all returned to this place at Mocheng's summons.
"Mo Cheng...you can't just say things carelessly."
"Are you really sure that the breaking of this stone means that?"
Mo Cheng held the broken stones in his hands.
He looked up blankly at everyone and said, "That's what Master Lu Cang meant when he told me... If this stone breaks, it means he has lost contact and his fate is unknown."
"He said, even the worst-case scenario..."
When Mo Cheng got to this point, he unconsciously shook his head.
It seemed like he was afraid to say what he was going to say next.
Shumi got anxious: "Tell me quickly, meow!"
Mo Cheng looked up in fear at Xiu Mi: "He might be dead."
Although they had only known each other for a short time, Mo Cheng had deep feelings for Lu Cang. He had saved her from despair, given her a second life, and provided her with the opportunity to become stronger and take revenge.
It gave me all hope.
No matter what, Mo Cheng was unwilling to accept this fact.
boom!
A loud thud was heard!
The top of the mage tower suddenly exploded.
Luluwei's blonde hair flew backward as she punched the wall next to her!
His eyes were bloodshot.
"That bastard! He disappeared for ten years, and just returned, and now he's leaving us again."
Elosa frowned as well: "The expedition is about to begin... Without him, with our current strength..."
"It seems impossible to launch a raid on the nest."
"Luluwei, Xiumi, I need to pass this information back first." Elosa and Lu Cang's relationship wasn't very deep after all; she glanced at the two of them and immediately made a decision.
Shumi nodded to Elosa, and Elosa soared into the sky.
The explosion of the mage tower alarmed the entire Land of Moonshine.
One by one, powerful figures ascended into the sky.
Even Lothar left his throne and came to the sky.
But what she saw was an angry Luluwei.
"Lu Cang is in trouble."
I didn't even ask.
Lotdan immediately had a bad feeling.
Now, Loren's safety almost entirely depends on Lu Cang's protection.
Lu Cang's passing is hardly a good thing for Loren; rather, it's a calamity.
Luluwei pressed one hand to her chest, her long, flowing hair slowly falling down.
At this time, you should remain calm and not get angry...
Having already become an advanced job changer, Luluwei quickly calmed down and knelt down, placing her hands earnestly on Mocheng's shoulders.
"Xiao Mocheng."
"Your master is very strong, the only one I have ever seen, the strongest I have ever seen."
"He's so good that I don't think I'll ever catch up to him in my lifetime."
"He still has many missions to shoulder and many promises to fulfill, so it is absolutely impossible for him to die so easily."
"So, don't be afraid."
Mo Cheng looked at Luluwei, who was comforting him, but she was crying.
"That bastard..."
"It's always like this, they just disappear without a word."
"The next time I see him, I'm going to beat him up first."
"But now we have something more important to do, Mo Cheng. You must strive to grow... Perhaps, you will be the most promising magician of our time."
In Izparut, after becoming a god, one can only reside alone in the divine realm and is sealed away.
In the era when Lu Cang disappeared.
As the sole heir of Lu Cang's legacy, Mo Cheng may truly be the only "strongest" magician capable of action in this era.
But all of this is based on the premise that the unborn child can grow up.
It's just unknown whether this strange era will give him enough time to grow.
But what if Lu Cang disappears for another ten years?
If Izparut hasn't yet emerged from the divine realm, then Mocheng is the future hope of magicians.
……
[Second Timeline]
Three days have passed since he was chased by Ehkator.
During these three days.
Lu Cang had now gained a general understanding of this timeline.
Compared to their original timeline, this timeline can probably be described as a peaceful timeline.
A timeline without a moon.
All 12 months are pure months.
There was no monster disturbance, and everyone lived peacefully. There were dungeons and lairs, but the monsters were all very weak, and there were basically no high-level monsters undergoing metamorphosis.
I've looked around now.
Even in the most powerful Tier 7 dungeons, the dungeon guardians are merely Tier 7, 2nd molt monsters.
It's eerily peaceful.
It gives people the feeling that they could live to be a hundred years old here without doing anything.
Staying here would satisfy my desire to live a life free from worldly strife...
when!
when!
when!
Before a furnace he had found, Lu Cang used a fire hammer formed from the molten holy flame to strike the "Scepter of Supreme Fortune".
The Flame of Melting Solidity can easily melt all metal alloys.
For the blacksmith, this was not some lowly, worthless flame, but a true divine flame.
After the Supreme Fortune Scepter was forged.
I just took it and used it.
The preparations were too rushed.
when!
Lu Cang struck the door again.
Behind Lu Cang was Neherkato sitting on a bench, watching Lu Cang's back as he forged iron.
She did nothing but quietly gaze at the scene.
Then came a knocking sound.
Countless rays of light once again converged back into the Supreme Scepter of Fortune.
"Scepter of Supreme Luck +3"
Lu Cang's first blacksmithing talent is "Radiance".
Each enhancement is a tenfold increase over the previous effect.
The materials required for strengthening the Supreme Scepter of Fortune, as well as the strengthening method, are recorded in the Heart of Complete Forging.
Nehercato: "Is the material I've gathered for you enough?"
Lu Cang smiled and replied, "Yes, that's more than enough."
Level 5 Blacksmith: "God-tier - Ascension", "God-tier - Complete Forging Heart", "God-tier - Void Consumables", "God-tier - Artifact Construction", "God-tier - True Martial Arts"
The blacksmith leveled up twice after returning from ten years. The talent of Void Consumables allowed Lu Cang to save a lot of forging materials, requiring only one ten-thousandth of the original materials to complete the required forging.
Furthermore, you can choose to have two fewer core forging materials, but you cannot have less than one core forging material.
Otherwise, forging the divine weapon wouldn't have gone so smoothly.
The limited materials provided by Elosa were insufficient to forge a divine artifact. The materials that an 8th-level warrior could obtain were far from enough to forge a divine artifact that even ordinary gods could not possess.
……
As for "God-level True Martial"
It allows one to temporarily draw a corresponding weapon from any person, magic, or combat skill. If drawn from a god, the weapon would be comparable to a divine artifact.
pity……
This tactic couldn't be used against Eichator.
He was already completely suppressed just by meeting her.
Now that he has arrived in the second timeline where Nehercato is, Lu Cang has finally obtained the necessary materials to enhance the "Scepter of Supreme Luck".
+1 is 10 times, +2 is 100 times, and +3 is 1000 times.
The current Supreme Fortune Scepter has a thousand times more powerful effects than before... Just holding this scepter in your hand makes you feel a surging torrent of good fortune converging upon you.
Previously, such a gathering of good fortune was completely imperceptible.
Whoosh!
The moment the forging was completed, the clouds in the sky parted, and a rain of colorful gems began to fall from the sky. Countless gems shone with brilliance. If this were in the previous timeline...
While these gems may not be considered divine materials, each one is a rare and precious item in the world.
Lu Cang sensed a terrifying vortex gathering.
With each step.
The surrounding sea swirled and twisted, the seawater contorting into precious and rare liquids, those elixirs that could create souls and flesh, shimmering on the seawater.
Is this what Yacaticto is all about?
Holding the Lucky Scepter with its effects amplified a thousandfold, Lu Cang suddenly felt that his luck was comparable to that of the legendary Luna Yacaticto. (End of Chapter)
