Gotrick: "Huh?"

"Oh," Elizabeth corrected herself, "Wei San."

Wang: "He is as strong as an ogre. No one would regard him as a human. Or let's get back to the question now. Does anyone have any ideas? Ideas that can make these two pieces of equipment useful? Can they really only be kept as backup and pawned for money when they are short of money in the future?"

Xiao Bai suddenly said: "Why don't you use it?"

Wang: "I'm a mage, and wearing armor will affect my spellcasting. Especially these gloves. I can't even make hand gestures properly after putting them on. I might even cause the spell to fail."

As he said this, he put on his gloves and tried to make a few gestures.

"Huh," he looked at his hands, "seems to be quite flexible?"

He put on another type of glove and took out a thin elastic rope connected end to end from his dimensional bag.

Then with dazzling fingerwork he turned the string into intricate patterns across his hands.

Elizabeth asked in surprise: "What are you doing?"

Wang: "Rope flipping is a finger game that a professor brought back from a certain dimension. It is used in the tower to train the coordination of fingers. At the beginning, you can only flip slowly, otherwise the rope will get tangled.

"When you become proficient, you will be able to flip to the last step in one go. At this time, your control over your fingers has reached the pinnacle. It seems that this glove has no effect on the rope flip—"

Before he could finish his words, the thin rope between his hands was snapped.

Wang: "Well, there is still a certain impact, but it's not a big deal. As long as you control the intensity, it's not too difficult."

The dwarf burped and asked, "Are you planning to use it yourself? It's useless for you as a wizard. You might even crush the bat dung ball in the spell material bag when you want to cast a fireball."

Wang: “That makes sense.”

He took off his gloves. "Well, let's wait and see what use they have in the future. If it doesn't work, I can use them as priests. It's okay if my fingers are shorter. Let's look at the next one."

As he said this, he put away his gloves and sword, took out a piece of paper, folded it in half twice and then unfolded it, so that there was a cross crease in the middle of the paper.

Then he took the pearl from the elf's hand and placed it on the crease in the middle of the paper. The crease served to fix the pearl in place.

Finally he looked at the dwarf and said, "Lend me your hammer."

The dwarf handed him the hammer and muttered, "This is the hammer that Cailin found again, and you are using it to smash pearls."

"It's good enough that it's not used to crack walnuts." Wang said this and swung the hammer to hit the table.

But the pearl did not move at all.

The king was shocked: "What the hell...Gao Chuik, come here! Control your strength and smash it to pieces."

Gao Chuk took the hammer and swung it in a circle, but the pearl remained motionless.

Wang: "Is it because the round shape is stronger?"

He silently took out the ogre power gloves, put them on his hands, and then took the hammer from the barbarian.

After taking a deep breath, the wizard shouted, "Look at the hammer!"

With a clang, the table broke into pieces.

The wine on the table was about to spill, but the elf quickly grabbed the cup and scooped it all back.

Then the elf keenly saw a shining object flying, and he grabbed it with his extraordinary hands and held it in his hand - it turned out to be the pearl!

Everyone subconsciously took a step back at this time, looking at the table top that fell to the ground and broke into pieces. Because the broken table top absorbed most of the impact, the table legs were still intact. One of the table legs fell on Elizabeth's feet, scaring her.

Wang took the pearl from Nini's hand suspiciously, and looked at it for a few seconds before he suddenly realized: "Shit! I took the wrong one! This is not a pearl at all, it is a lightweight ball made by magic in the Mage Tower and used as a bearing! I was wondering why it is so strong!"

The dwarf frowned and said, "Your Mage Tower also builds such weird things?"

"Of course, it can be used to build golems. Although golems can move without mechanical structures, those golem madmen just like mechanical joints, exposed metal components, and preferably glowing bodies, and V-shaped antennas on their heads."

The wizard said as he stuffed the things back into the dimensional bag: "It must be the thoughts in my mind when I took out the dimensional bag that caused the problem. The dimensional bag also took out the things that looked like pearls.

"I should understand that history defines pearls precisely as natural products that were plucked from underwater shellfish by black to brown-skinned slave divers."

After saying that, he took out a pearl from his dimensional bag.

After carefully examining the pearl, he said, "This is a pearl. Come, Gotrick, hit this. Just put the paper on the ground and hit it."

A moment later, the wizard harvested the pearl fragments wrapped in paper.

He poured the crumbs along the folds of the paper into the wine that Nini had just rescued, then picked up the feathers that had fallen on the ground and stirred them gently.

Elizabeth watched him do all this and asked curiously, "Does this identification spell have to be performed like this? I mean, does it have to be stirred with this kind of feathers?"

"Yes." The wizard replied.

Elizabeth asked again: "And then? Pour the wine on the object to be identified?"

The wizard didn't answer and drank the whole bottle of wine in one gulp.

Then he began to cast a spell, and even though he forgot to take off the Ogre Power Gloves, the spell was still completed smoothly. His right hand glowed through the gloves.

Then he placed the dimensional bag on the table and took out the holy symbol of Lamashtu from it with his left hand.

The dwarf exclaimed, "Carlis Newman! I only have two fourth-level spell slots that can cast Restoration. If everyone is contaminated, it will take me four days to restore you all!"

Wang: "Don't be afraid, the identification can be completed in just a moment, that's why I prepared the identification technique!"

As he spoke he touched the holy symbol with his glowing right hand.

While intoxicated, the function of the holy emblem suddenly became clear.

The wizard placed the holy symbol back into the dimensional bag and looked down to check if he had any feathers.

The others saw this and hurried to do the same. Then Marika suddenly realized that it would be more appropriate for them to check each other, so she said to Elizabeth, "Your Highness, I will check you and you check me."

Elizabeth: “Okay… uh…”

She looked at the king, but the wizard had already turned to Nini: "Come, help me check if there are any strange feathers behind you."

The dwarf said to Gotrek, "Look behind me."

Xiaobai turned his head 180 degrees and looked at his back through the mirror - the werewolf's skeleton was really amazing.

After everyone confirmed that there was nothing strange on them, the king said, “This holy emblem of Lamashtu, in addition to continuously causing surrounding creatures to be contaminated by the power of the Mother of Monsters, the holder can also use it to replicate the mother and create life that obeys his commands.

"That lich probably channeled the power of the holy symbol directly, allowing it to be used without holding the holy symbol."

Marika: "So now you can control those cavemen?"

King: "No, they actually maintain a close connection with the Holy Symbol through faith. That's why those cave dwellers firmly believe in the Mother of Monsters. Now that the power of the Holy Symbol has been cut off, they should be unable to maintain their form and disintegrate on their own."

Elizabeth: "Wait, disintegrated?"

"Yes. If we go find Ralph now, he will probably tell us that more mercenaries have escaped. Because the cavemen disappeared all of a sudden. The caveman we interrogated before said that they had long stopped giving birth normally, and all of them came from the Fetal Movement Hall."

Elizabeth: "Wait a minute! Doesn't that mean that Riverdale can resume mining?"

Wang: "That's it. Once we have appraised our final harvest, we will go and tell Ralph the good news."

"The final reward?" Flint asked doubtfully, "What else is there to be gained?"

The king took out the scepter embedded with the energy core of the empty Cyclops: "This."

Flint: "Does that still work?"

Wang: "Of course, we just need to find a place to charge it. The lich said that we may not be able to find a craftsman who can charge it in this era, but he didn't expect that I would get this thing. I am very familiar with the process of charging this thing.

"The biggest difficulty is actually finding the energy source, because the reserve of this thing is too large, and at least a blue furnace is needed."

The mage said this excitedly, and the entire team fell silent.

Wang: "What's wrong?"

Flint coughed and said, "I have a question. What is a blue furnace?"

Wang: "Oh, that's a common name. The red furnace emits a blazing light like the sun, while the blue furnace emits a pure, cool blue light.

"The red furnace has more energy. After all, it is a sun. The red furnace should be able to fill up the energy core instantly. The blue furnace will take some time to charge."

Everyone looked at each other.

As the people who are most experienced in making magic items, the dwarves asked the most important question on behalf of everyone: "What can this thing be used for after it is filled with energy?"

Wang spread his hands and said, "I don't know. There are many things you can do. For example, you can use the Mountain Cutting Technique to turn the mountain upside down and float in the air. Before the duration of the spell ends, you need to fix such an energy core on the mountain to provide energy consumed by flying.

"A floating island like this has been built. You can build your floating city on it."

Nini was shocked: "You... the Mage Tower actually preserves the knowledge of this legendary spell?"

Wang: "Of course there is, and the professor in the tower, in addition to teaching us naughty kids, mainly studies legendary spells.

"Legendary spells are not something you can cast simply by looking at a book. Generally, a wizard has to spend many years studying the spell before casting it, and understand the basic principles of the world involved in the spell.

“In addition, every legendary spell is equivalent to a slap in the face of the god who controls the relevant authority, so casting legendary spells in the main material world will be interfered with by the gods of this plane, and you may even have to fight with the gods’ messengers.

"One of the purposes of a planeswalker's travels is to find a world without gods to cast legendary spells."

The wizard spoke these words in a casual tone, which seemed to have given the elf a very strong shock.

After he said all this, his attention turned to the energy core in his hand.

After studying it intently for a while, Wang said: "This energy core is well preserved. I am sure it can be charged using the methods I know, but as I just said, it is difficult for us to find something that can provide such powerful energy.

"This is much more powerful than the Nine Rings spell. I think with the current level of this plane, there is no way to charge it."

Elizabeth: "So it's a piece of junk?"

"No, on the contrary, this thing has almost unlimited capacity. If one has sufficiently advanced magical item-making skills, perhaps one can make it into a permanent energy protection item. But I'm not capable of that."

The king looked at Flint: "Can the priest make it?"

The dwarf shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, it makes me feel overwhelmed. I don't know how to make this thing. All I can do is to recover the armor."

Wang scratched his head: "So after all this trouble, only a soup spoon can be used?"

Marika: "Look at the bright side. Now that you've used up your daily spells, you can put on your Ogre Power Gauntlets and go beat up your enemies."

Wang: "Then he took Elizabeth's heirloom sword Pathfinder and slashed at random, right? I should have learned some swordsmanship from my teacher earlier. He especially likes to give himself a Tamsen Transfiguration spell and then go up and chop people."

Wang tilted his head and thought for a while, then clapped his hands: "Forget it, we have the stuff now, and maybe we can use it somewhere in the future. Besides, even if we don't count these props, we still have two major gains from this exploration."

He first pointed at the dwarf and said, "The priest has mastered four-ring magic, such as the magic of free movement, the magic of advanced magic weapons, the magic of expelling alien creatures such as demons, and the most important anti-death barrier!

"Now Flint no longer has to use the Blessing spell to create an anti-death barrier to deceive other enemies."

Recalling the critical moment when Flint used the blessing spell to trick Erwin, Elizabeth showed a grateful expression: "I owe the dwarf a life."

Dwarf: "Just use more wine to make up for it, Kailin likes it. But, Mage, I have to remind you that I only have two fourth-ring spell slots now. Remember to tell me every morning what fourth-ring spells you will prepare today. Aren't you a prophecy mage?"
