Chapter 107 Chapter 106 Whale Fire’s True Name
The stars and the moon are extremely bright tonight, the ground looks like it has been covered with a layer of water, and the brown and red roof tiles are all white.

A few Fungus-whispering seagulls perched on the roofs of the houses in Stone Tower Town, like silver-cast ridged beasts. They still watched over the place for the lighthouse keeper, keeping an eye out for whale oil lamps that might be hanging under the eaves in front of the door.

In the distance, the headland lighthouse.

Lin Bo placed the sea gray steel in the yard, sat cross-legged, and gently touched the heavy ore. Tiewei held the cutting saw in one hand and pressed the button. The motor drove the saw disk to rotate rapidly, emitting an impatient hum.

The cutting saw came close to the gray steel, and the point of contact emitted a sharp scream and dazzling sparks.

The rapid vibration was transmitted to Lin Bo's palm. He clearly heard the murmur of the Animist language of the Sea Gray Steel, which was not silenced at all by the urgent Gudorei language spoken by the spinning saw blade.

There was a disparity in power between the two magical languages; the roar of the weaker one could hardly suppress the whisper of the stronger one. This also caused his attempt to find out the true name to fail.

Lin Bo withdrew his hand, stood up, and waited for Iron Guard to cut a small piece from the large piece of ore. At this time, the teeth of the cutting saw had been worn out.

Different materials have different physical properties. The hardness and toughness of sea gray steel are better than ordinary steel, and it is difficult to process, so it is best to use the mantra to directly reshape it.

He recalled how he had learned the true name of steel, using his Pharmacist Tongue to sense the words of rust. However, Sea Gray Steel was very difficult to rust. Rust only appeared when its physical properties gradually degenerated into ordinary matter over time and under the ravages of external forces.

However, Lin Bo still had another alchemical metal in his hand, which was made from the poisonous material of a serrated knife, and the blood of the sea spirit was still adhered to its surface. He had tasted it before, and the strong bitterness still made his tongue numb when he recalled it.

Lin Bo washed the fragments of sea gray steel and serrated knife with alcohol, dried them, and put them in his mouth together.

The animistic language spoken by the Sawtooth Knife describes how to tear skin, flesh, crush bones, spread toxins, and paralyze nerves.

The strong bitterness that made the tongue slightly numb suddenly suppressed Hai Chi Huigang's whispers.

The Medicine Master's tongue senses the poisons dissolved in his saliva. The Master meditates while listening to Gray Steel's true name.

After a moment, he opened his eyes, spat out the two pieces of metal in his mouth, and went to the seashore. He condensed the toxins accumulated in the blood pool under his tongue into a drop of black blood and dropped it into the sea.

The waves will dilute these toxins and prevent them from harming living things.

Back under the lighthouse, Lin Bo whispered his real name.

"(Mantra) Gray Steel."

The heavy ore floated into the air, as light and silent as a dim meteorite in space.

Lin Bo touched the surface of the gray steel. The furnace required approximately 5200 kilograms of gray steel, with some scraps left over. He planned to make an enchanted oil lamp, and a little gray steel would be more than enough.

The oil lamp was created to prepare for the Danhuo ceremony in advance, and its prototype is the fire-igniting spell instrument used in the ceremony.

This was also Lin Bo's first time trying rune enchantment.

The ignition spell was not long, with a total of nine Gudorei runes. He knew the meaning and pronunciation of each rune, but he just lacked the shape of the characters.

Lin Bo purchased the glyph analysis from [Toxulus] for a total of 112 disaster coins. He glanced at the nine glyphs, matched them to the pronunciation and meaning in his mind, and memorized them.

He had drawn up the design of the oil lamp's structure in advance, so he was confident enough to start working on it.

Lin Bo dug out a ball of gray steel from the ore, rubbed it in his hands, and reshaped it with the mantra technique. He used the surface touch and endoscopy method to carefully sense the changes in the internal structure, and gradually matched it with the specifications on the design drawing.

The outside of the lamp is a hollow spherical lampshade with wave patterns hollowed out on the outer side and an arc-shaped handle fixed on the top.

The interior is divided into two layers vertically. The hollowed-out side on the front is the fire chamber, and the back is the oil storage chamber, with insulation material blocking the middle.

The ignition spell is engraved on the lighter at the bottom of the fire chamber, and is connected to the oil storage chamber through a one-way valve pipe. The whale oil in the pipe flows into the fire chamber from the bottom of the lantern and will be ignited by the spell.

There are two knobs on the back of the oil lamp, one controls the oil valve and the other opens the front lampshade.

After completing the main structure, inject some additionally purchased insulation gel into the partition interlayer. Finally, it is time to engrave the runes on the lighter.

Lin Bo closed his eyes, and the tactile synesthesia constructed by the tactile-endoscopic method outlined the inner and outer contours of the oil lamp in his vision.

He stared at the lighter at the bottom of the fire chamber, which was a hollow tube.

The sorcerer chanted incantations in a low voice, inscribing a rune on the inner wall of the cylindrical tube with each word. Each utterance was like a silent, dim thunderclap, causing the surrounding sea breeze to tremble slightly, pausing for moments. The words of power, like invisible, colorless blades, were deeply etched into the gray steel, leaving clear, powerful indentations, the strokes simple and fluid.

"(Exclamation) Those who are flammable gain this fiery power."

Usually, a ritual is performed when enchanting an object to induce a miraculous response, allowing the runes to exert their power in the correct order. If the ritual is not performed, the rune combination may produce various strange errors, which may lead to failure at best and accidents at worst.

Lin Bo also performed a ritual, but his was merely a single word. The mage's words arranged the magic runes, allowing their power to connect and function correctly.

Whale Breath Lantern (White)
Type: Engineering Product/Enchantment Product

Weight: 0.9 kg
Description: A player-made, self-igniting magic lantern. Unlike ordinary oil lamps, it is fuel-efficient, fireproof, and windproof, and does not require matches.

It can be a lamp or a weapon. — Comment from the creator
Lin Bo poured crude whale oil into the lantern, turned the knob, and the spherical lampshade opened a hole, revealing the fire chamber. The oil valve opened, and immediately a faint blue flame rose.

In the old days of the Windjammer Islands, whale oil was a cheap commodity used by the poor to fuel their firewood, helping them to keep away the chill of the winter winds. Firewood infused with whale oil always burned particularly hard, and the fire lasted longer and was hotter.

The magical energy contained in the whale oil was ignited by the spell and transformed into an extraordinary flame.

Lin Bo hung the lamp on an iron hook on the wall near the door and stared quietly at the bright blue light.

It is very quiet, so it is not convenient to find out its true name.

However, the fishy and burnt smell of burning whale oil is very obvious. Although it is lighter than the smell of most animal fats, it is still slightly unpleasant.

The whale fire greeted the night watchman with its burning smell. It also told a story of burning, transformation, and destruction, but compared to ordinary flames, the burning of the whale fire made things brighter, and this light could be transformed into lightning.

Lin Bo had heard thunder in the [Sea Spirit Altar] dungeon, but he had never heard the language of lightning. Perhaps it was too grand, or too short, or more likely, there was no real name for lightning in the Animist language.

However, there are countless magical things that contain the power of thunder and lightning, just like lightning resin, and the animist language can form their names.

Lin Bo took out the lightning resin from his backpack, opened the sealed paper package, and exposed the golden resin block filled with a burnt smell to the air.

The pungent smell overwhelmed the faint stench of burning whale oil.

He sniffed slowly, sat cross-legged in front of the lamp, closed his eyes, and listened to the hoarse murmur of the whale fire.

The material taken from whales, the words are always sad and slow, but after it is ignited into fire, the tone becomes rapid, expressing the urgent desire for burning and destruction, which is why it always burns so vigorously and hotly.

Lin Bo quickly saw the animistic runes that appeared in his mind. He opened his eyes, took the lantern from the wall, held it in his hand, and whispered his real name.

"(True Word) Whale Fire."

The dark blue flame stretched out from the lamp and turned into a fat young whale in the sky.

As the lantern valve was further opened, the fire grew stronger. The whale-shaped fireball gradually rose and expanded like a hot air balloon, and its bright light illuminated the cape and the coast, like a faint blue star resting on the ground.

Lin Bo whispered the true name of Lightning Resin and threw a ball of resin into the flames.

The whale fire resonated with the resin, and soon the resin was burned out and the resonance disappeared, but fine electric arcs were generated on the surface of the fire and lasted for a long time.

He stared at the fireball, which was larger than a horse, and cast the mantra control technique - Lie. The fireball vibrated, and in an instant the brightness and temperature began to rise. The arcs on the surface burst out like sea urchin spines.

The withered grass and trees in the yard in autumn were baked dry and then ignited by the falling electric arc.

Lin Bo turned the valve of the lantern to cut off the fuel. Under his gaze, the blue flame in the air floated slowly towards the beach. The light illuminated the nearby sea water and finally fell into the waves, gradually going out, turning into a white mist in silence and dissolving in the noisy and confusing night wind.
