"Hmph." Greenland snorted and picked up his branch wand.

It was just a branch with dried fruit hanging from it, seemingly picked up from anywhere. Yet, it held an incomparably terrifying power, easily doubling the damage of magic. And with each enemy destroyed, the dried fruit seemed to gain a little more nourishment.

【Forgotten Eden Fruit Branch】

[This branch of the Fruit of Eden, plucked by the Seraph himself, is a gift to the hero who defeats the evil serpent. Legend has it that the fruit, supposed to bring shame to humanity and tempt them to transgress taboos, hangs from the branch.]

The fruit withers after being separated from the tree, but will regain its fullness by absorbing the user's evil thoughts. The forbidden fruit that once absorbed beauty and purity will become pure after absorbing evil.

"I say..." The Ripper lay on the ground, looking at the description of the branch wand in Greenland's hand, and smiled strangely. "It says here that it is a gift from the Seraphim to heroes. How did you get them to break their weapons for you?"

Greenland fell into a brief silence before returning a bright smile.

"They said that an evil creature like me could never touch the Tree of Eden, and it was true. So I held her corpse's hand lovingly and asked her to help me break off the branches."

Farasha and Herbie, who were standing aside, tensed up. Greenland now looked like a devil who would smile and say he forgave them, and then kill them.

"I thought I was the only one who found the hidden weapons, but who knew the other three were gifts from a beautiful young lady herself."

A trace of scarlet appeared in the corners of Greenland's eyes, and two lines of blood and tears flowed down.

"I also want to be close to angelic sisters, instead of breaking their spines, using crotch kicks on them, and finally impaling them on the fangs of venomous snakes. I am too miserable."

It took the six of them quite some time to deal with all the remains of the mountain giants, and Farasha was extremely shocked.

When she first came to this restricted area, her first reaction was that these mountain giant remains could easily flatten the Giant Kingdom Palace.

Now it has been dealt with by six people, or to be exact, five people.

"This is the true power of the Evil Stranger, Herbie Hermes..." Farash looked at Herbie and whispered fearfully, "You released the devil from hell with your own hands."

"As long as we abide by the contract, anything is fine, and..."

Herbie clapped his hands, and both the Ripper lying on the corpse and the five people picking up the spoils not far away immediately knelt on one knee in front of Herbie.

"Lord Hebi, what are your orders?"

"See, everyone is very obedient." Herbie turned his head, looked up at Farahsha and smiled brightly.

This cute smile looked like the smile of a devil in front of Farasha.

"Okay, let's see the legendary Mimir's Spring."

Herbie walked down first, like the owner of this place, and Farasha followed timidly at the end.

Although Herbie appeared calm and complacent, he was actually quite nervous.

After all, the altar was a bit high from below, and the stranger jumped down directly as if he didn't need his knees, so she had to be careful.

The group passed through the remains of mountain giants and arrived at the place shrouded in light.

That is the legendary fountain of wisdom at the root of the world tree.

But after Herbie saw the place clearly, he felt neither surprise nor despair, just calm.

The Fountain of Mimir may have existed, but now it has dried up and nothing remains.

This is understandable. How could the second-generation One-Eye allow a third person to gain omniscience?

"Huh..." Hebi exhaled, turned away expressionlessly, and waved goodbye. She had no time to feel lost; she had to go find the Golden Bough of Life.

But the six people misunderstood Hebi's beckoning as a sign that they could take action, and immediately rushed into the dried-up Fountain of Wisdom, searching frantically.

If there is nothing, then dig the soil.

This is the soil of the fountain of wisdom. Even if it is useless, we must dig it all away.

Farasha screamed silently. This was their royal family's precious ancestral land. Herbie, with his hands behind his back, looked like the mastermind behind the scenes, but he was actually very embarrassed.

"found it!"

Greenland, looking dusty and disgraced, raised his hand and took out a sphere.

The Eyes of Ignorance and Humility

Chapter 331: Strangers only need XX

In the Fire Rabbit Forge, Master Had sat among a pile of weapons, drinking wine, looking as decadent as before.

The reason is simple: I'm tired.

Oh, no, it’s the shipment rate that’s too damn low!

[Master Forger] is the highest level that a [Blacksmith] can reach. In addition, with the inheritance of the dwarven forging skills, he has the probability of breaking through the limitations and creating higher-level weapons.

According to the quality classification, the equipment he could create by breaking through the limit was [Legendary Grade], which was just a little short of [Legendary Grade]. If [Legendary Grade] equipment was of colored quality, then [Legendary Grade] was of gold quality.

But the probability is too low. After forging thousands of weapons and equipment, only 2 or 3 pieces of [legendary grade] will appear.

So he became depressed again. Compared with him, the stranger was simply indomitable.

Even if they failed thousands of times, no matter how heartbroken and filled with regret, they would erase their memories after obtaining the golden weapon and pretend that they succeeded the first time. They would then continue to invest more resources in forging, while selling all other low-quality weapons to the Fire Rabbit Forge.

So the Fire Rabbit Forge was on the verge of bankruptcy.

The strangers only needed to sell their weapons to the forge, collect the money, and walk away, but the forge had a lot to consider. The goods were piling up, there were no sales channels, and there was a shortage of funds. Most importantly, the strangers only paid for the forging.

"These foreigners only sell but don't buy."

Ever since the strangers learned that large-scale forging could produce [legendary-level] gold equipment, they no longer cared about equipment of other qualities and didn't even look at the weapons and equipment hanging in the Fire Rabbit Forge.

Hard claims that he regards money as dirt, but he is always constipated and can't see the dirt, which makes him feel awkward.

But this was also a wrong operational choice made by him. It was he who decided that strangers only needed to provide materials and pay the most basic fees.

After the strangers came, the burden on the warehouse was reduced and their pockets became richer, but the Fire Rabbit Forge was in even worse shape.

Just then, a demon appeared, a demon named Herbi Hermes.

This demon has many shortcomings, but she is extremely rich and generous.

However, the six monsters and goblins brought this time are still very scary.

"Are the weapons unsaleable?" Hebi glanced at the weapons piled up in the warehouse and nodded seriously. "Yes, they're all of good quality. I'll buy them all and can resell them to the Giant Kingdom Alliance army."

Just like that, the economic crisis of the Fire Rabbit Forge ended.

Herbie's expression made Hader realize that the real business was about to begin, but Herbie was wrinkling his nose in dissatisfaction, obviously smelling the alcohol on him.

So he closed the shop and sent his apprentices on leave to come to the forge.

"I'm just a blacksmith, and what I'm best at is blacksmithing, so this is where I focus my efforts the most."

Herbie didn't say anything, but winked at Greenland, who immediately placed a sphere in front of Had as if offering a treasure.

"We found One-Eye's eye!"

The Eyes of Ignorance and Humility

【? ? ? 】

"Eye of God?" Had narrowed his eyes, took the sphere and looked at it.

He couldn't tell whether this sphere was a limb of God or not, because it felt too ordinary, nothing special about it, like a piece of earth.

"I heard that One-Eye sacrificed one of his eyes to gain omniscience. Therefore, removing this eye means that One-Eye, as a god, has shed all ignorance. This eyeball is the embodiment of ignorance."

"Are you going to defeat One-Eye with something he's discarded?"

"If the enemy is God, it's never too late to prepare too many plans that will fail."

Hard wasn't surprised by Herbie's answer, but he raised a more realistic question.

"Assuming this thing really works, the quantity is not enough. After removing the impurities, there is only the size of a copper coin left at most." Had took out a copper coin, which is the smallest currency on the market and is extremely light and thin.

"Let alone making it into a weapon, even wrapping it around an arrow is a bit of a stretch."

"use this."

Herbie placed a long object on the forge.

"What is this?" Had frowned. He was a blessed one and also a [Master Forger]. There was almost no weapon he could not identify.

What Herbie took out should be a weapon, but he could only identify it as a pile of metal, wood, and gunpowder.

Herbie didn't explain, but picked up the weapon directly, aimed at Greenland, who seemed to have a blank look in his eyes, and pulled the trigger.

boom--

After a loud bang, a hole appeared on the rock wall of the forge, and an iron ball was smoking in the hole.

"This is!"

Hader's eyes narrowed. Although he could poke a hole with his fingers, that was definitely not the destructive power that Herbie, a powerless little girl, could cause, let alone just moving her fingers.

The corner of Hebie's eye twitched. She had just wanted to show the damage this weapon called "Gun" could cause to the blessed one, but Greenland turned his head and dodged.

She was so frustrated.

"This is a weapon brought by foreigners, called a flintlock. It only requires a round metal block the size of a finger and gunpowder to cause huge damage, although it can only fire one shot." Herbie coughed lightly and placed the flintlock in Had's hand.

Had is worthy of being the [Master Forger]. He understood the principle of this weapon and knew how to increase the damage after playing with it for the first time.

"Hmm... I see. As long as we grind and destroy the explosive crystals, we can increase the propulsion force. In order to resist the effects of the explosive crystals, we need to use stronger metals... The barrel has additional acceleration capabilities, which should further increase the damage." Had touched his chin, quite satisfied with this flintlock rifle.

"Unfortunately, this world doesn't have any concept of guns, so I can't strengthen her overall appearance."

"Don't think too far ahead. Regardless of whether God's Eyeball can be effective or not, we will only have one chance." Herbie raised his hand, and Greenland stood up with great pride.

"So it will be used by Greenland. Of course, the biggest reason is that she was the one who found this eyeball."

"I will become the second god-killer after Pink Rabbit!"

Seeing Greenland's smug look, the Ripper couldn't help but mutter behind his back, "Pink Bunny relies on strength, while you rely on mission props."

"What did you say?!" Greenland was so angry that he clung to the Ripper and scratched the Ripper's face with his claws.

"Hmm..." Had was hesitant to speak as he looked at the foreigners who did not look serious. But when he thought that the foreigners in doll costumes could kill the evil Titan, he felt that Greenland at least had a scary face.

"That's all. I'll finish this flintlock rifle for killing gods soon."

Chapter 332 Flesh Engineering

[Spectroscopy]

Blaze punched Chiron's defensive arm, and the force penetrated Chiron's arm. Chiron's arm flashed with lightning, and his fingers twitched unnaturally.

But Blaze's arm was also injured at the same time, cracks appeared in the arm armor, and blood splattered.

Blaze instinctively took a defensive stance, losing control of his arms and unable to continue his combo. Chiron would undoubtedly take advantage of the opportunity to crush him and attack.

But Chiron didn't make any movement. In Blaze's eyes, Chiron seemed to be distracted.

"Teacher?" Blaze waved his hand in front of Chiron.

Chiron blinked, shook like a living being, and came back to his senses.

"I'm sorry, I was just working on another task at the same time."

"Another job?" Blaze shook his injured arm. The wound on his arm healed quickly and the numbness subsided.

"The Birth of Soul Engineering." Chiron simply turned off the [Kronos Gear] and brought Blaze to the area where the centaurs were born.

There is a huge crystal column here, and what is floating in it is not a centaur fetus, but the body of an adult centaur.

This body can only be described as perfect, with every muscle fitting together like steel, and its appearance is exactly the same as Chiron's.

"This is a backup body project prepared by the humans of the Age of Gods in the Ark. Theresa uses this device to constantly replace her body, and I want to transplant my way of thinking into this body. However, this is also the first case of a robot's consciousness being transferred into a physical body, so this process will require many attempts."

Chiron introduced Blaze, and Blaze reached out and pressed on the crystal column. He could feel the vigorous vitality in it.

Chiron imitated Blaze's movements and reached out to press on the crystal pillar. His palm could only feel data, not life. For the first time, he felt that this body was completely flawed.

"Wait, if you changed your body..." Blaze thought of something, "Wouldn't it be much easier to deal with it if you became a mortal? Wouldn't it be easier to pass the tests? Maybe I wouldn't even have to attend classes."

"Please don't worry." Chiron pointed to his head, "I have created a combat AI that can continue teaching while I am unable to adapt to my body."

"Based on my analysis of the combat power of the 11 great souls, after possessing the soul-born self, I will only become more powerful, and the difficulty of the assessment will also become higher."

"I understand. This means my reward will be bigger." Blaze calculated that fighting two Chirons meant he could collect double the reward, which was a win-win situation.

As for the beatings he had to take, he always forgot the pain after the wound healed, so he was fine.

"Let's continue training." Blaze said as relaxed as if he was going for a drink with Chiron.
