Players’ NPC daddy

"Life forces me to do so." The old woman rubbed her hands and diligently took out a crystal ball, tarot cards and a card with six thumb prints on it.

"There's only one left. As long as I complete your order, I'll have achieved my target for this month."

"You only make seven in a month. Is your craftsmanship getting too brittle?" Blaze sat opposite the old woman and went straight to the point without much greeting.

"Can stargazing help me?"

"I can't promise anything until Capricorn returns to the sky, but now..." The old woman tapped the stacked tarot cards with her dry fingers, and a card popped out and slid in front of Blaze.

On the card is a lifelike demon with a goat's head, and below him are a man and a woman with horns, who look like tempted believers.

Tarot: Devil

[Its true form has been resurrected, looking down upon all living beings in the great night, guiding them, and thus the card has regained its due power.]

"This guy, he's really everywhere." Blaze picked up the card. The devil on it was lifelike, winking at it with a familiar smirk.

"But isn't this a bad card?"

"This is your prejudice. The devil is not a bad guy. It's just portrayed as a bad guy. So the Devil card is not a bad card." The old woman took out a brazier and sprinkled some crystal powder into it. With a bang, a cloud of smoke rose.

There was a demonic figure in the smoke. These were the children created by Pan and Lilith in the story told by Pan.

Legend has it that the gods in the Age of Gods created intelligent creatures walking on the earth, but were always dissatisfied, and these demons were undoubtedly perfect intelligent creatures.

They are beautiful, free, happy and full of energy.

If Paine had not seen the perfect Adam, he would probably have thought that the demons were perfect creations.

"The devil is like a huge force, which will bring different consequences in different situations." The old woman added a ball of colorful substance into the brazier.

There was another bang, and ominous smoke rose from the brazier, with the beautiful demon in it seeming to reveal its true face.

"It all comes down to the word 'desire'. The original vitality and joy were used in the wrong place and eventually turned into a terrible monster."

Blaze watched the old woman's wonderful performance and gained a more detailed understanding of the perfect Adam.

A perfect life form, with infinite energy and vitality, like a pure force. He lives in a perfect Eden, guarded and guided by angels, and there is no possibility of him going astray.

Although in Lilith's eyes, the perfect Adam was hollow and terrifying, but in the eyes of the Creator he was the most perfect creation. The Creator was so satisfied with the perfect Adam that anyone who dared to resist the perfect Adam would be punished.

Perfect Adam lived up to the Creator's love until the Creator pulled out one of his ribs, causing an irreparable wound to him. At the same time, it also created desire in him, and it was the worst desire that many strangers complained about.

【Become perfect】

Blaze didn't even want to count how many enemies the stranger had defeated. There were too many enemies who aimed to become perfect. And Perfect Adam was undoubtedly the most terrifying one among them. He killed his creator, the only god of Eden.

In contrast, the devil Paine printed on the card looks like the embodiment of desire, but he always chooses noble sacrifice.

"But what does this have to do with what I want?" Blazer was completely confused by the old woman's actions.

"… This is just a short time. I have a lot of tricks, like backflips and stuff. Do you want to see them?"

The old woman smiled awkwardly, and then began to tell fortunes honestly under Blaze's warnings of [telling tales] and [giving bad reviews].

Chapter 735 Alchemy Materials

Being considerate of other people's difficulties is a good virtue. Even though the old woman assured him that her backflip was amazing, Blaze was determined not to watch it.

How could you let an 80-year-old man do something as dangerous as a backflip? Of course, you can't let the old woman have the opportunity to cut corners while working for Herbie.

The old woman could only do the divination honestly.

Blaze wanted an alchemical tool that could be turned inside out and upside down. With three great constellations in the sky, the old woman received a very clear hint.

"Haha——" The old woman smashed the crystal ball to the ground, and magically three small circles and one large circle pattern splashed on the ground.

The old woman squatted on the ground, observing the figures, her pupils dilated and she entered a state of absent-mindedness.

"You need the great words that the great three gods watched and summarized. You need the ore that once recorded the great words. You need a shape that remains unchanged even when it is turned upside down."

"Hmm..." Blaze pondered for a moment, drawing a conclusion from the old woman's words.

The combination of [Quotation], [Ore] and [Shape] is to grind the ore into a specific shape and use the quotation to give it the secret of alchemy.

The ore... probably emerald. The stranger said that the prototype of alchemy is recorded in the "Emerald Record" made with emerald plates. The shape should be an hourglass composed of two triangles. No matter how it is turned upside down, it is still an hourglass.

"Unexpectedly simple...Pah!" Blaze slapped his lips hard, and the mouth part of the helmet made a snapping sound with his hands.

He almost came under the punishment of the God of FLAG, but luckily it was stopped early.

"Okay, just stamp here." Blazer put his fingerprint on the old woman's punch card.

"..."

The old woman didn't answer, so Blazer didn't wait any longer. He turned around and left the alley, planning to find a piece of fine emerald to make props.

The old woman looked at the pattern on the ground with a serious expression.

A gust of wind blew in from somewhere, bringing some dust, casting a layer of darkness on the pattern made up of crystal fragments on the ground.

"What does this mean...squirrel?"

"Do you know anything related to squirrels? Huh?" The old woman was stunned. Blaze was gone, but he did check in.

“Hey—”

The old woman suddenly straightened her hunched body and rushed out of the alley at great speed, aiming directly at Blaze who was wandering on the street, intending to collect materials on the spot.

"Wait a minute, you bastard!"

Blaze paused, and the old woman, who looked to be about 80 years old, rushed towards him at a speed that the young man was ashamed of, cursing under her breath.

What made this proud but fragile craftsman so angry?

"what happened?"

"What's wrong? Don't you know that you missed an important clue!" The old woman was so angry that she stopped in front of Blaze and spit at him.

"I saw you didn't say anything, and I thought... it was my fault. Can you tell me what I missed?"

"squirrel."

Blaze's expression changed and he immediately asked.

"Then what!"

"Nothing more happened." The old woman shook her head. "I simply saw the squirrel in the picture. To be honest, this is the first time I've seen a completed divination change."

"Perhaps the creation of this prop itself carries some kind of meaning. Whatever the squirrel symbolizes, you'd better reconsider it."

"...I understand. Thank you for your advice."

Blaze said goodbye to the worried old woman, as he had understood the meaning of the changes in divination that the old woman had seen.

The alchemical tool he was about to complete could flip a snake and reconstruct it into a chicken, and of course it could also flip a chicken back into a snake, which was equivalent to giving both of them freedom.

This is an alchemical tool, and everything has a price. Does the freedom of the two also mean that the Squirrel will be free?

But no matter what, Blaze will complete this alchemical item. He works hard to improve himself and become stronger, not because he is timid.

This may be a kind of arrogance, but he just doesn't want the snake or the chicken to be locked in a cage, he wants to give them freedom.

However, the old woman’s reminder was spot on and her service was attentive, so he wouldn’t be caught off guard by the [Squirrel’s] sudden attack.

"Anyway, let's find the emerald first...it's so expensive!"

Gems, one of the most rare resources.

Gems are excellent all-purpose materials that can be used to store magic, create magic items, inlay equipment, and even make bottles for potions.

The limited availability of gemstones and the huge demand for them have led to their high prices.

Of course, Blaze is still rich. The few killers and foreigners who just died have rich family backgrounds, which adds up to a huge sum of money, which is definitely enough to buy gems.

But this prop is related to the soul structure of the chicken and the snake, and there can't be any mistakes or flaws, so Blaze wants a perfect emerald.

Perfect gems are extremely rare and priceless. At this time, we can only ask the almighty Lord Herbie for help.

Unexpectedly, Herbie also looked troubled.

"Most high-level gems are dropped by ore monsters. Perfect gems are only dropped by ore monsters above LV100, and the probability of mining is only 0.02%. And ore monsters above LV100 are born only after a long time. If you kill one, there will be one less. It is really hard to find."

"According to the transaction records of Hermes' Traveling Hat, only about 30 perfect gems have been traded so far, and there are not even any perfect emeralds among them."

Herbie's face was full of apology, even a little self-blame.

"I'm sorry, I clearly said that you can rely on me."

"Is that so?" Blaze sighed in disappointment, then cheered up again, "This is also good news. It has never been traded, which means it has never appeared. This means that the perfect emerald has not been discovered yet!"

"You're too optimistic." Herbie raised his hand and patted his face, cheering himself up. "Then according to your idea, you just need to delete the area that produced perfect gems, and then go there to find the ore monster and defeat it."

There are surprisingly few gemstone mining areas that meet the requirements, only two or three mineral vein areas. In the past, this place was full of foreigners mining, but now because of the World Championships, no one is mining, which is also convenient for Blazer.

Just as Blaze was about to set off, a peregrine falcon appeared in front of him, flapping its wings and landing above Herbie's head.

"This is a despicable assassination of me by a foreigner!"

Hebie screamed. She could feel the sharp claws against her scalp. It seemed that those claws could easily pierce her head.

This second-generation Loki, who has nothing but the name, is really a loser.

Chapter 736: Gaining Inner Peace

【Quick gathering】

Dali Feizhuan's contact was very brief and a little anxious.

"Aren't all the strangers going to participate in the World Series?" Blaze didn't believe that Dali Feizhuan would miss the World Series.

If there really is such a strong person that he would rather give up the world championship to make contact, then it must be a very important matter.

"Take this, and the pass." Herbie threw the map of the gem mine and the mining license to Blazer.

"Got it." After Blaze took the things, he was about to put them into the warehouse, but found that the warehouse showed no free space.

Those killer strangers are really rich. Not to mention the money, the many materials and props that dropped out actually filled up the warehouse.

"How about we do a trade first?" Blaze took out the dropped items from the warehouse and placed them all on the table, while Herbie put on his glasses and got into work mode.

"You should go find the stranger first. It will take a while to appraise all these things. Don't worry, I will give you a good price."

"give it to you!"

Blaze used the teleportation item without stopping, and the fairy peregrine falcon flapped its wings and rushed out of the window.

Herbie was the only one left in the room. Herbie's expression became a little cold, and he was examining the props in his hand with an expressionless face.

The only benefit of having the title of God was probably the feeling of having skills. However, just like she only had the title, the skills were also vague.

That's all you can get about the item in your hand.

A hand picked up the price Herbie had registered on the table.

"Wow, are you doing charity? The purchase price is so high." The elusive Kullene appeared, and he couldn't help complaining when he looked at the price list in his hand.

"Is he your lover? As a businessman, shouldn't you lower the price drastically?"

Hebi sat up straight, looked at Kullene without saying a word, then picked up the long sword that was shining with light, and even a fool could see that it was a valuable item.

"Then I'll buy the sword for three copper coins. Blaze won't mind anyway."

"Wow! My heart hurts so much!" Kullene bent down with her hands covering her heart in a very exaggerated manner, and her head hit the table hard.

"Is it interesting?" Hebi rolled his eyes and changed the three copper coins on the price to the normal price.

"Your sudden appearance shouldn't be just to give me such a fake acting performance."

"Because I have nowhere to go. I used to have a private holiday resort, but recently a lot of foreigners broke in, so I had to leave."

Kullene rubbed his chest, sat leisurely opposite Hebi, and muttered to himself.

"Of course, part of the reason is that the moment I have waited for countless years is suddenly right in front of me, and I feel a little restless and can't sit still."

"Exchanging the rights of the Earth and the Sun?" Herbie frowned and put down the feather pen made of the chicken's feathers in his hand, and asked seriously, "Can we make any benefits from it?"

"There are many benefits, but you have to pay a little blood first." Kullene took out a rolled-up parchment scroll and put it on the handle, then pushed it hard, and a whole world map appeared in front of Hebi.

"The exchange of Earth and Sun's authority, and the upheaval of the world, will no longer destroy civilization, but that doesn't mean it's not a disaster."

"On the contrary, if we are not prepared, the disaster caused by the earth-shaking situation will be very serious."

Herbie looked at the mark on the map and his expression became serious. This was the place where the earth would be cut apart when the earth turned upside down.
