Find a Troubled Girl after leaving the Guild-Chapter 364 - 208: The Challenge of Mental Blind Spots (Part 2)
Elaphia said that two hundred years ago, the founder of the Dome Furnace Association embarked on a quest to rediscover the method to create Treasure Artifacts, facilitated by the widespread rules of the Guild in Nebis, which made his journey much easier.
During his long search, this artisan eventually found texts recording the "Creation Cauldron" at a relic of a civilization skilled in creation, with the assistance of the Sky Cavalry of that time.
The civilization claimed that this was the Holy Land left by the Primordial Being, a result of the cooling of the supreme power that forged the world, where items for divine spirits could be crafted.
These descriptions were so marvelous that whether the founder of the Dome Furnace Association believed them was irrelevant; what mattered was that he finally had a clue.
He believed that gathering members with the same goals could expedite the process of finding the target location, so the operation philosophy of the Dome Furnace Association has always been to attract talented members, as such individuals are not easily satisfied with mere mortal crafts and strive to reach the realm of creating Treasure Artifacts.
As for the Source Material, it is mentioned in the relic texts as the fuel for the Creation Cauldron and also as the material for its creations.
The highest title within the organization, "Hammer of the Source," is meant to inspire these top-tier artisans to master power of that level.
"So, has Divine Artisan Ernest ever sought it out?"
Li Ang casually looked at Falo. After their conversation, he couldn’t ignore this question, because Ernest seemed like someone who could craft Treasure Artifacts at will.
Did he know about the Creation Cauldron, and if he did, what would his views be?
Farlonio turned her head, understanding that Li Ang was asking her.
"Whether the ancestor knew, I don’t know myself, but he focused more on establishing his own workshop."
Merchant Douding joined his index finger with his thumb: "Just a little hint, the ancestor’s workshop covered many aspects, including a very powerful Forging Furnace."
She glanced at the Mountain Copper Furnace, as if indicating that Ernest’s furnace was not inferior to this seemingly miraculous furnace.
"No wonder you want to find that place more than focusing on improving at the Mountain Copper Furnace."
"Mr. Li Ang, don’t speak so sharply."
However, Li Ang thought, the method of Treasure Creation is indeed tricky. While the Guild has achieved the monumental feat of connecting the entire Cloud World, progress in many specialties has been significant, yet Treasure Creation is not as advanced as it was a millennium ago. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Throughout the long history, it seems that few forces have unified multiple Sky Islands, with most islands remaining independent.
Just looking at the information displayed on the system for the Divine Artisan’s Five Swords, Ernest should have lived in an opulent and luxurious place back then, but in terms of cultural exchange, it shouldn’t have been more than now.
Today, the origins of Treasure Artifacts are diverse, stemming from different remnants of civilizations, indicating that ancient civilizations had their own methods of crafting Treasure Artifacts.
The existence of this phenomenon implies two possibilities: first, they had their own ways of communicating with each other; second, it was not a difficult problem, as all civilizations found a way to overcome it—it’s just that people today are stuck in cognitive dead-ends.
During the conversation between Li Ang and the two Doudings, the third Grand Artisan with the title "Hammer of the Source" finally arrived.
This was a mature and vibrant Horned Race woman, with orange-red hair braided into four thick plaits, two swinging behind her and two resting on her massive, soft horns slightly drooping to the sides.
Her stature was unique, standing at a height of 1.7 meters compared to the Horned Race females’ average of under 1.5 meters, with ram-like horns growing robustly to the sides, exuding an imposing presence not inferior to people of other races, giving an impression of being a bold and straightforward personality type.
"Oh, Cassandra is here."
Gaelin let out a big sigh of relief: "Come quickly, try to persuade this red-haired lunatic."
Cassandra did not directly intervene with the two but looked at Li Ang and his group. She apparently recognized Falo and Aifei, and thus addressed Li Ang: "You’re the one who brought the peculiar weapon embryo, right?"
"Is that me?"
As a fellow artisan, she couldn’t quite take her eyes off the Silver-White Staff but tried to restrain herself.
"Before we begin, I want to ask, did this not come from the Creation Cauldron?"
The Horned Race elder sister’s question caused both Gaelin and Hephaestus to perk up.
"Indeed, I was just thinking about how to craft it."
The red-haired Artisan nearly muttered to herself: "It closely resembles the embryo described in the records made by the Creation Cauldron."
Li Ang and Elaphia exchanged glances, and the latter spoke: "It was found in my clan’s Treasure Vault."
The artisans didn’t dwell much; since the owner clarified it wasn’t, they had no further questions.
Cassandra said: "Seeing all of us artisans gathered here after receiving the message, you should know our pursuit lies in this. For us, it’s more of a boon to us, so as long as your demands for compensation aren’t too extreme, you can freely ask."
Unlike the shrewd Falo, these Grand Artisans were like Aifei mentioned in the Treasury, gladly seizing the opportunity to practice and attempt to craft a Treasure Artifact, considering it a benefit for them, even mocking those who didn’t come for missing out on such a great chance.
Although this wasn’t a formal assembly, they tried to notify everyone, though some were unable to come for various reasons.
