T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 294, 293. What to do if forging fails?
"He went to challenge that guy from the Screamer Snow Mountain, right?"

Ailera's contemptuous tone made it clear to everyone, even through the tin can, that she was expressing her disdain.

French Fries tentatively asked, "You're not very optimistic about the [Eye of the Abyss]'s effectiveness against demons?"

Elaeva said, “He came with a scroll of promises, and I prepared the best for him, but if I had a choice, I wouldn’t have forged it for him.”

Jiang Heyi silently took out the [Promise of Elerave] that he had given her in the Dussel storyline.

"The dragon Arelavi never makes promises lightly."

"With this certificate, you can request Areravi to forge equipment for you."

Arela was not surprised at all. She put her hand on her neck, loosened the helmet, and slowly took it off.

Before we arrived, the people of the Demon Fox tribe described Elerave as a very beautiful, yet extremely rugged, dragon.

It is indeed very beautiful; everyone's aesthetic sense reached a consensus at this moment.

His bronze skin exuded a vibrant life force, and the texture of his skin, as if it had been frosted, made the blankets gasp in surprise.

That hit her strike zone perfectly.

With her long, sticky, grayish-brown hair hanging down, this dragon girl, who was over two meters tall in human form, casually tossed her sweaty strands of hair behind her head.

The thick, slightly curved, gradient-colored dragon horns have a full luster, shining as if they have been waxed.

If Elaine hadn't been speaking with a listless, lifeless, and grumpy face, her radiant smile would have been enough to make anyone want to take a screenshot and save it as their desktop wallpaper.

I wonder what kind of scenery lies beneath those metal cans.

"Wow, I'm even more resentful than when I get up early for work."

The tetramorph provides a precise description.

At this moment, Areravi narrowed her eyes, looking awkward as if to say, "You've come at the wrong time," and reluctantly continued her business.

The brilliant gold in his eyes gradually faded, turning into solidified amber, lifeless and dull.

This change in attitude stemmed from seeing through the promise scroll in Jiang Heyi's hand.

She rubbed her temples wearily and let out a heavy sigh.

"Sigh, as expected, this scroll ended up in your hands."

"Oh dear, there are still rolls left."

Before setting off, Kesha and Mint explained the origin of the Promise Roll to everyone.

About 100 years ago, Eleravia and her best friend, Tina Loris, the holder of the Grand Apothecary position in the Anna Empire, created a batch of vouchers that could grant the wishes of others one night and randomly buried them in several locations.

At this moment, the continent's foremost master craftsman and the continent's foremost master alchemist were like a wish-granting machine.

No one knows their motives for doing this; perhaps it was to appreciate a large-scale social experiment, or perhaps it was just a whim during a chat.

The randomly buried promise scrolls are scattered in various corners of the continent. They did not announce this news to the outside world, but left everything to luck.

The first Promise Scroll was only obtained by a young magic warrior after being buried for 15 years.

The details of the negotiations are unknown, but the widely circulated story is that the magician asked Tina to cure his terminally ill wife.

Tina granted his wish and even threw in a set of potions to help him recover from his illness.

From then on, the existence of the Promise Scroll became widely known.

Based on the number on the promise scroll, the Ana people, knowing there was more than one, searched far and wide over a long period of time.

Over the past century, seven promises have been fulfilled.

Tina 5 times, Eleravie 2 times.

Thanks to Tina's mischievousness, the two eventually exchanged their promise scrolls.

However, compared to weapons and equipment, those who obtain the Promise Scroll prefer to receive assistance from the Grand Alchemist.

This is an item whose final interpretation rests with Eleravia. Tina, who played the game with her, is no longer alive, and the wish machine can stop listening for responses at any time.

Elaevi tilted her head, squinted, and stared intently at Xu Nuojuan.

Perhaps the thought of killing the hostage had already crossed her mind?
I didn't like him the first time I saw him.

"When I get close to him, I feel a chill in the gaps between my scales, as if I'm being watched by another dragon, and I feel uncomfortable all over."

Elaine's intuition was spot on.

Who would have thought that the kind and amiable Düssel would be so despicable as to prey on a student?

“He said he would eliminate evil spirits with great righteousness and passion. I didn’t believe him, but I kept my word because of the promise.”

"After forging the [Eye of the Abyss], he grasped it immediately, and I saw a strange scene."

“Dussel’s back was covered with fragments of spirits.”

"It's like cutting a person into pieces, with broken limbs attached to every corner of his back."

“I could even hear their desperate screams.”

Elaine rubbed her temples again.

"I told myself, okay, it's just a hallucination caused by fragments of evil spirits, a powerful force of spiritual corruption."

"But curiosity led me to conduct some investigations in secret."

Ailera's previously lifeless face was now filled with disgust, and her amber eyes lit up again, their dazzling gold seeming to conceal a ferocious beast ready to devour its prey.

As a high-ranking member of the Anar Mage Tower, his status is the best camouflage for Dussel.

As someone in a high position, he only needs to show a little kindness to the weak to break down the defenses of ordinary people, let alone the fact that he is also a "mentor" who educates and nurtures people.

Beneath the perfect disguise, countless victims.

"You didn't stop him?" Zhong Zemo stared intently into the conversation. "He killed countless students, all innocent children who dreamed of becoming magicians!"

Elaevi frowned slightly, somewhat displeased with the accusation that could be interpreted in Zhong Zemo's words.

Having seen countless people, Elena only needed one glance to be convinced by his clear passion and sense of justice. Her displeasure vanished, replaced by helplessness.

Areravi countered, "How am I supposed to stop him?"

"Holder of a seat in the Mage Tower".

"The number one spatial magician on the continent of Anna, the chief instructor of spatial magic, and has his own mage tower classroom."

"Lifetime Honorary Initiator of the Mage Tower, this honor was elected by the mages of the Mage Tower."

"The only one who faced the demons head-on and escaped unscathed; an expert in demon research."

Ailera said, "I am a dragon. A dragon walks into the mage tower of Anna and accuses a ninth-rank archmage with a glorious past and a renowned reputation. Guess who the public will believe?"

Memories flow into my mind like a gentle stream.

She murmured naturally.

"Those who unconditionally believed in me are already dead. To the Empire, I am an uncontrollable and dangerous life, someone who once appeared on the Imperial Royal Family's list of targets."

"Moreover, as a weapon forger, to lay a hand on the user of the promise scroll is to break the contract."

“Dragons always keep their promises… Well, it’s me, Areravi, who never breaks my promises.”

Zhong Zemo apologized immediately.

Elaine waved her hand, indicating that it didn't matter.

"The evil ultimately triumphed over him, and that's enough."

Jiang Heyi looked at the promise scroll in his hand, and then at Elena's conflicted little expression.

Suddenly, he understood.

"You don't intend to fulfill our wishes, do you?"

The fact that something he was still pondering was suddenly brought up made even the most experienced dragon feel somewhat embarrassed.

She neither admitted nor denied it, but simply stared at the line between the real and the virtual.

“We are not Düsseldorf.” “Who knows?”

It was as if the wind from the rooftop was blowing into Jiang Heyi's ears, and Ailera's eyes turned into dark gun barrels, from which bullets could be fired at any moment.

"People say that you only care about fulfilling wishes and don't care where they come from," French Fries recalled.

"When Tina was still alive, most of the people who came with the scroll of promises were seeking survival or to save others."

Eleravia patted the thick tin can: "Potions are gone once consumed, but I have no control over the whereabouts of the weapons and equipment forged from them."

"Just imagine, if Dussel hadn't wielded the Eye of the Abyss, what kind of chaos would this weapon have caused?"

The orange tea was unexpectedly refreshing.

"Aileravi cares a lot about the Ana Continent."

Elaine was stunned.

My thoughts were being dragged back to the distant past by a whirlpool.

Dragons, the most powerful race in the magic system, are naturally devoid of emotion and are criticized by countless races as cold-blooded.

Many years have passed...

The long period of solitude and lack of communication made Eleravi realize at this moment... what does the chaos in the Ana Continent have to do with her?

What does it have to do with her?

Elaeva's golden eyes reflected the image of Orange Tea, and her aura rose steadily, like the magic of a mountain pressing down on the shoulders of everyone at the boundary between reality and illusion, making it hard for them to breathe.

I felt exactly the same way I did when I met Grandma Metasequoia!

Oh no, Orange Tea must have said something wrong. She tried so hard to persuade him, but that one sentence completely ruined everything.

Jiang Heyi's mind raced, searching for an opportunity to salvage the situation.

"Should we go over the script again to salvage the situation? If that doesn't work, we can use stardust to pave the way!"

He and the fries are really on the same wavelength; they're thinking exactly the same thing.

The feeling of oppression came quickly and went quickly.

The languor in Elaine's eyes vanished, replaced by a smile.
Was that gloomy, lifeless face touched by the spring breeze?
The orange tea, whose waist had been nudged by the blanket, realized she might have said something wrong. In order not to ruin everyone's efforts to persuade them, she hurriedly apologized, her face full of anxiety.

Elaevi smiled again, and as she smiled, she let out a long sigh of relief.

"Just as silly as her..."

"Looking at him, he certainly doesn't seem like the worst kind of scum like Düssel."

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Although Elera was pulling me back and forth, as long as I agreed to help with the forging, I'd do whatever you asked!
"but……"

Elaine changed the subject.

"I only take on interesting commissions; I don't accept ordinary, mundane items."

Looking at each other at the boundary between reality and illusion, she pushed her palm forward and shook it.

"There's no room for discussion. I'm tired of playing this pointless game of promises. I'll just give you a little something out of consideration for your long journey."

Elaeva was still conflicted, and the promise she made was full of unease.

To everyone's surprise, the boundary between reality and illusion was blurred, and everyone's lips curled into a smile.

"Laugh, is that funny?" Elera Vie crossed her arms. "There aren't many requests that I find interesting. By the way, I'm not Tina. I'm only responsible for forging, not providing materials. Even if you want to pluck the stars from the sky, you'll have to do it yourself."

As she spoke, she proudly raised her chin slightly.

Jiang Heyi, with a sense of trepidation, took out several materials from his backpack and respectfully returned to the group.

"Please take a look."

Ailera vaguely sensed a strange energy fluctuation, but couldn't quite figure it out.

He opened his eyes and caught a glimpse of the Origin Element Core floating in mid-air, and instantly froze.

Her pupils dilated suddenly, then contracted again. Her hands trembled as she reached out, only to pull back just before touching the metal can, rubbing them against it and finally enveloping it in a layer of magic.

Having made thorough preparations, she gazed at the Origin Element Core with a devout expression, like a pious believer holding Holy Communion, as if it were beating like a heart.

"This this……"

Elaevi stuttered, like a child who had never seen the world before.

"The Origin Element, the materialized central hub of the elemental realm rulers born from the world consciousness, is not easy to defeat."

"beat?"

Ailera let out a dragon roar that resounded through the mountains, spraying everyone with spittle.

Sure enough, she really is quite rugged.

"It doesn't make sense. You, your power, how can you..."

Ailera wanted to crouch down and cover her head, but remembering that the core was still in her hand, she quickly stopped.

It was like a crazy thing, going back and forth like that.

The Dragon Girl, deeply shocked, sometimes tilted her head in confusion, sometimes frowned, and sometimes stared in fear at the boundary between reality and illusion.

It's hard to imagine that such a lifeless face could have such complex and wonderful changes in expression not long ago.

"Speak, speak, speak! What do you want me to do?"

"Forge a set of armor, just like this one."

Clearing the Temple of the Clarity grants a complete set of Origin Elemental armor, but it hasn't been used yet because there's no matching "Elemental Core".

The Origin Element Set can be fitted with different elemental cores to transform into different elemental modules.

The step of embedding the core is precisely what requires craftsmen to forge it.

Originally intended as a reference for Elaevi, Elaevi, dressed in a metal can, almost pounced on him.

She took the ready-made suit with trembling hands, muttering to herself.

Based on the local vocabulary I learned from Kshatriya and Mint... it's like, holy crap?
Jiang Heyi asked knowingly, "Master Craftsman Eleravie, wouldn't this lack of challenge? Perhaps... I can ask the Siren again."

Elaevi was admiring the scene when she heard this, and the veins on her forehead bulged, revealing the hidden dragon scales.

"Sea monster?"

"They are powerful, but those guys only have a high level of mastery over water. To forge such complex elemental materials, you need a dragon."

"Only the magic of dragons can achieve perfection!"

Jiang Heyi pretended to be in a difficult position again.

"But I only have one Promise Scroll, and both sets..."

“There are exceptions sometimes,” Elena said seriously. “Anyway, from this point on, the promise scroll is null and void.”

"As the last guests, I'm sure Tina would like to receive some special treatment from you."

French fries were served in a timely manner in conjunction with Jiang Heyi.

"I have a small concern: what if the forging fails and we can't afford the materials for a second forging?"

Elaine was stunned.

That's it, she can't afford to pay for it.

Origin element, where is she going to kill one?
Can……

Looking at this unprecedented and magical material, Elaine was captivated.

She gritted her teeth and said, "If the forging fails, I'll pay... Don't worry about how I pay, I'll definitely pay!"

"At worst... I'll work as a craftsman for you for free to pay off my debts."
