Chapter 25
The Art of Extraordinary Forging, Handling the Red Dragon Heart

Marusil was speechless: "I don't understand."

"I like it, I do," Kato Megumi frowned, "but the wall is so low, how can we ensure safety?"

This is a world with magic, a wall over a meter high is practically defenseless, there's absolutely no security.

Lu Li smiled mysteriously: "I've made preparations."

As he spoke, a handful of seeds appeared in his hand, they were the seeds of the man-eating plant vine.

Marusil was shocked: "You wouldn't be planning to use this for protection, would you?"

"Why not?" Lu Li used magic to cultivate the plants, planting a seed, instantly, the seed took root and sprouted vines, climbing along the wall, covering the hundred-meter long wall in a blink of an eye.

He threw five seeds in a row, all the walls were covered by the man-eating vines.

The ten-mu manor seemed large, but in reality, its perimeter was only less than five hundred meters.

Falin came forward, reached out to touch the vine, but was not attacked, she couldn't help but be surprised: "This is a seed grown with the magic of the Cultivating Wand, this way, the vine is under the control of the master and won't attack anyone else. With these vines protecting it, this manor is considered very safe."

Marusil was powerless to complain: "Don't use magic in this kind of place!"

Falin smiled, not minding at all: "Isn't this good?"

As they were talking, Lu Li saw Lu Li waving his staff, a strong wind swept through, the entire ground of the manor was leveled, weeds and trash were swept away, becoming incredibly clean.

Entering the room, he performed the same magic again, and the room, which had been covered in dust, soon became clean and tidy.

"Everyone can choose a room they like, this will be our base from now on. Leos, prepare a feast, Falin, you take Megumi and the others to buy some necessities, we'll set up camp."

"Yay!"

Everyone cheered, even the dwarf Senshi was beaming.

He had not been so happy for a long time since the death of his people.

"Right, Megumi, remember to buy some flower and vegetable seeds, this garden is too deserted, we need to decorate it a bit."

Marusil: "Divine Being, you wouldn't use magic to grow vegetables, would you?"

Falin laughed: "What's the matter, isn't it convenient?"

"It's heresy! This is heresy!"

The voices of the group faded into the distance, Leos, Zylchak, and Senshi three prepared the dragon meat, a seductive aroma floated through the manor.

One day later.

After being magically cultivated, the once desolate manor had become a sea of flowers, fragrant and intoxicating.

Magic-generated rockery and streams, full of artistic conception, made Baihe Chuanhua and the others incredibly happy.

At this time, Lu Li was dealing with the dragon bones and dragon scales.

Although dragon bones and scales are powerful, they cannot be forged like metals, they are not easy to use for forging.

But the wisdom of mortals is sometimes quite amazing.

About a hundred years ago, the ancestors of the Lu family invented a potion that can melt dragon scales and other biological materials, extracting the properties of biological materials, and incorporating them into metals, allowing ordinary metals to possess the properties of monster materials, to create extraordinary weapons.

With dragon horn properties as raw materials, dragon horn swords, dragon horn spears were forged, they could break anything, and their power was no worse than weapons made of mithril.

With dragon scale properties as raw materials, cloth armor was forged, its defense was no weaker than dragon scales, stronger than traditional armor.

The Lu family became the top forging family in the Eastern Great Nation because of this.

Of course, what brought prosperity, also brought downfall.

The Lu family became prosperous because of this, but also attracted the covetous eyes of many forces, enemies, allies, too numerous to count, open and covert attacks, there was no end to them.

In the end, down to this generation, only Lu Li remained as the sole heir of the Lu family.

In addition, the Eastern Great Nation was already in the waning years of its dynasty, bandits were rampant, civil war broke out, and extraordinary weapons were actually used to suppress rebellions, Lu Li simply quit, choosing to leave and become a free and easy adventurer.

For Lu Li of this world, extraordinary weapons used to protect his homeland, used to kill monsters, he had no objection.

But to use extraordinary weapons for civil war, to slaughter rebels, he absolutely disagreed!

Lu Li's eyes fell on the red dragon's heart, he waved his staff and began to process it according to the method in his memory.

The dragon heart is the source of the dragon's magic, if processed properly, it can be transformed into the best fuel for blacksmiths.

The Lu family once had a similar dragon heart, but it was eventually thrown into the sea by his counterpart in this world and disappeared.

As fire magic was activated, the texture of the red dragon heart began to disappear, gradually revealing a metallic sheen, the huge dragon heart of three meters in diameter was eventually reduced to a metal heart the size of a fist.

Lu Li picked it up and put it in the forging furnace next to it, a trace of magic was injected into it, and instantly, a transparent flame appeared on the heart, even standing a meter away, one could feel a wave of scorching heat.

It is worth mentioning that dragon hearts are born with the ability to gather magic power, as long as they are not over-activated, this heart can maintain a balance of magic power and never go out.

"This heart is really a treasure!" Lu Li exclaimed, "My counterpart in this world was so wasteful, he actually threw away the family heirloom dragon heart. For a blacksmith, that's practically a priceless treasure."

No, even for ordinary people, a processed dragon heart is a priceless treasure.

The dragon heart fire is pure and efficient, it is a mysterious flame that can refine mithril and orichalcum.

Mithril, orichalcum, these are things that are worth a fortune.

Of course, the extraction method is not something ordinary people have, but the Lu family of the forging lineage naturally has it, it's just very expensive, about a ton of steel can only extract one or two ounces of mithril.

But for him who can travel back to the world of anime, this is not a problem.

In the modern world, steel is very cheap, it's practically a bottomless mine of mithril.

He waved his hand, cut off the magic, the flames on the dragon heart extinguished, when it became cold, he put it away.

He came to the backyard, Kato Megumi and the others were practicing swordsmanship.

Falin and Marusil were meditating on magic.

"Jian Zi, Megumi ... your boons can be updated, maybe they can be upgraded!"

Baihe Chuanhua raised her hand: "What about me?"

Lu Li chuckled: "You were slacking off when we were fighting the red dragon, your experience probably isn't enough, but you can still update your boon and see how much is missing. Right, Falin, do you want to be my vassal?"

Falin looked at Marusil.

"It's very useful, Falin, after granting you the boon, my research on magic is much faster."

Falin nodded lightly: "I am willing, thank you, Divine Being."

Marusil, upon hearing this, immediately explained the precautions of boons to Falin.

Boon updates were already second nature, and they were soon completed.

"It's already ready to be upgraded." Lu Li printed out the data and handed it to Kato Megumi.

Baihe Chuanhua, Marusil, and the others gathered around.

Baihe Chuanhua was puzzled: "Why is there only one A, not even an S?"

Marusil nodded lightly.

Lu Li explained: "Actually, it's already pretty good, if you have average aptitude, even if you accumulate your abilities for four or five years, none of them will reach D."

In fact, in the world of DanMachi, adventurers who receive God's Boon, nine out of ten will not be able to reach a D in any ability for four or five years, they will not be able to reach Lv.2 in their lifetime and become a High-Level Adventurer.
