Although there were still a lot of things to deal with after the battle, Baiyi could not wait to bask in the joy of victory. Baiyi strolled to the remains of the eyeball. The eyeball had been burned by its own green flames until only a few black bits were left. The pile was taller than a grown man, and it looked like a pile of trash that had been incinerated in a garbage dump.
With a wave of his hand, Baiyi extinguished the flame and reached into the pile of black wreckage. He pulled out a large, hard object. It looked like a huge boulder.
Baiyi chanted a wind-type spell and blew away the black bits around the boulder. What remained was a black boulder that was taller than him. The boulder had an irregular shape and was full of bumps and hollows. It did not look good.
"The Abyss Lord, even if it's just an avatar, still has most of its power concentrated on it. How could it drop something like this? Even if it's not a godly weapon, it should at least have some super rare materials, right? " Baiyi asked in the Void, a little annoyed. Then, he added, "Sir, did you touch the body?"
"No, no. I really want to loot an orange bow, but I don't have that much money on me," the Archmage explained. What a ridiculous excuse!
"What are the two of you thinking? Do you think this is a game? " The Devil Walker snapped. "It's just an avatar. Isn't it normal that it doesn't have any equipment? As for the rare materials you want, aren't they right in front of you? "
"Huh?! You're saying this is a rare material? " Baiyi poked the boulder, and a crisp 'ding ding ding' sound rang out. "Not only does it look good, but it's also reeking of a demon. Why haven't I seen this material before?"
"Use a water spell to wash it, and then use a theurgy to purify it," the Devil Walker said helplessly.
Baiyi did as he was told. First, he used a water spell to wash away the dirt on the surface, revealing a crystal-like structure. Then, he placed his hand on the surface and cast a minor theurgy — Dispel Evil. The area under his palm turned blood-red, as if there was blood flowing through it.
"This is … a Blood Tear Stone?" The alchemist spoke first. "And it's a Blood Tear Stone of high purity and excellent quality! Even though it was just a raw material and had not been processed further, the red color was already more vibrant and rosier than the finished products that had been processed with alchemy! I've handled so many materials in my life, but I've never seen such an excellent material! "
Baiyi was quite familiar with the Blood Tearstones. Someone had given him two of them before, and he had dissolved them and fed them to the hammerhead shark plushie. The rest of the Blood Tearstones had been used to fortify his home's defensive formations and equipment for his students.
"And … There's actually such a big piece! Oh my god! If you can completely refine it, you will obtain the best Blood Tear Stone in human history! Its value was immeasurable! As expected of an equipment dropped by an Abyss Lord! With such a large piece, I wonder how many rare materials it can be exchanged for. Even if it is exchanged for money, it would be enough to establish a small country! " The more he spoke, the more excited he became. Apparently, he had already entered a state of excitement. He even began to think about what kind of experiment he could do with this super-quality Blood Tear Stone.
"Yes, it's precious, but the biggest value of this thing is to use it as ink to draw formations, right? With such a large piece, it could be used to draw empire-level formations, "the Archmage added.
"From what I see, it's best to keep some of it and exchange the bulk of it for money. For the future plans, we still need a lot of money. With this thing, we don't have to worry about money anymore." The Thane suggested a different way to deal with it.
The Blood Tear Stones sold in the market were about the size of a fingernail, and they cost hundreds of gold coins. The two Baiyi had received were the size of half a palm, and the price was already very high. Now, the piece in front of him was so big that it would take three to five grown men to wrap their arms around it. The money it could be exchanged for would be astronomical.
"How can you all be so short-sighted?!" The Alchemist exclaimed angrily. "Shouldn't we use this super material to develop an alchemy product? The money we can earn from it will be beyond your wildest dreams! "
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. We'll talk later," Baiyi said helplessly. He had not even finished processing the item, and there was still a lot of work to be done, but these people were still arguing over such a trivial matter.
It would take more than a month or two to process such a huge piece of material. Based on Baiyi's understanding of alchemy and the efficiency of alchemy workshops, it would take more than a year just to process this material. There was no need for him to be in such a hurry.
After confirming that there was indeed a valuable loot here, Baiyi walked over to the corpse of the headless, muscular monster. At this time, the huge carcass had already been weathered to a deathly grey color. It was piled up like a small hill, and countless debris was blown all over the place by the wind, making it look like it was snowing.
"I'm afraid this thing has no value anymore, right? What else can we get from it? " Baiyi stood in front of the wreckage and cast a wind-elemental barrier around him, blowing away all the debris that had fallen to the ground. After a while, he said with a hint of regret in his voice, "That's right.
Theoretically, Baiyi's best hope was to harvest the Arbiter's Authority, which he had used to ban all sorts of powers. However, Baiyi did not sense the presence of any Laws in the wreckage. Furthermore, the Laws did not have any form to begin with, so it seemed like they had disappeared along with the wreckage's death. Baiyi had to admit that it was a pity.
As for the rest, Baiyi did not have the mood to search. The thing was, the wreckage was much bigger than the eyeball's wreckage. He would not be able to find anything even if he stood outside, and he might even have to crawl into the wreckage to search. Just the thought of it was disgusting.
Suddenly, the Engineer Walker, who had never had the chance to prove himself, said, "You might find a powerful energy core in here."
"Oh?" Baiyi was intrigued.
"This thing may be powerful and disgusting, but it's still an engineering creation. When I was watching your battle, I noticed that you had inflicted some wounds on its body, and the structure that was exposed was similar to the wooden marionettes used in engineering. I don't know why such a huge thing would be made of wood, which is for apprentices to practice with …" The Engineer Walker explained. His friends had all demonstrated their value and usefulness, and the Engineer Walker wanted to prove himself as well. Hence, he paid extra attention to the carcass, even to the small details of the structure exposed under the wounds.
"If it's really a marionette, don't tell me you want me to rummage through the trash like you did all those years ago?" Baiyi asked, a little reluctant.
In the field of engineering, recovering the remains of marionettes was a huge field of study. Even if a marionette had been destroyed, its parts were still valuable. If one could recover all of them, they could recover at least 60% of the original cost, or even 80% of the original cost. However, if one only recovered the core crudely, they could only recover 30% or 40% of the original cost.
However, recovering marionettes was a tedious and tedious task. Not only did it require a solid foundation of theoretical knowledge, but it also required a lot of energy and concentration. At the same time, one also had to deal with the risk of the carcass exploding, burning, and the release of toxic substances. It was a dirty, tiring, and dangerous job. In engineering terms, it was like picking up trash. Any engineer with even the slightest bit of skill would not want to do it.
However, when the Engineer Walker was still a mere apprentice, he did not have the title of "The Greatest Genius". His talent had not yet been discovered, and he was a dull, dull, and unlikeable person. Thus, he was sent to the recycling class, where he had to scavenge for trash with the other engineers who were equally unappreciated.
Fifteen years had passed since he began scavenging. Fifteen years had passed, fifteen years had passed, and fifteen years had been spent in poverty.
However, this period of forbearance and seclusion had honed his tenacity, and he was far superior to others. He could even recover an unimaginable ninety percent of the original cost! A magic puppet that had been broken into pieces could be revived by him with some spare parts that he could find from somewhere else.
This kind of accumulation had, of course, allowed him to amaze the world with a single brilliant feat. The title of "The Greatest Genius" might not be obvious enough, but the fact that he was allowed to bring his marionette to participate in Thaas's crusade, where he was assigned to an elite team of top-notch powerhouses, and was given the responsibility of being the main attacker was a testament to his prowess.
How did he end up becoming a Gentleman Walker? Perhaps it was because he had never married, and he had never touched a girl's hand, for the sake of engineering?
In any case, even if the Engineer Walker had made his fortune by scavenging, Baiyi was still a little reluctant to do it himself. After all, it was not a good job.
Fortunately, the Engineer Walker understood Baiyi's thoughts, and he did not force the issue. Instead, he said, "If it's made of wood, then its structure should not be too complicated. After all, it's just a beginner's toy, so only the energy core is important. The other important parts, such as the joints and the armor, are worthless. If you want to recover it, just blow it up with magic! This core is very sturdy and stable, so it won't be easily destroyed. However, you should try to sense if there are any strange energy fluctuations in it, lest it explodes. "
This is the professionalism that a Voidwalker should have! What was all that so-called professionalism that they had displayed before?! Is it just a joke?
"The energy fluctuations in this thing are very chaotic. There's a little bit of Divine Energy, some Dark Energy, and some Void Energy. It's very messy." Baiyi obeyed the Engineer Walker Walker's order and tried to sense the thing's condition.
"Then you'd better be careful," said the engineer.
Baiyi had no choice but to follow the Engineer Walker's advice. He carefully and cautiously used all sorts of low-level spells, like peeling an apple, to clear the wreckage bit by bit. In truth, Baiyi still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. If he could find some Law, then all this trouble would be worth it!
But in the end, he was disappointed. The process took him a long time, and it was not until the afternoon that he finally cleared the area to the core that the Engineer Walker had guessed. Unfortunately, there was no longer any remnant of the rules. He did not know if the rules had disappeared on their own, or if the original owner, the God of Power, had retrieved them.
Fortunately, he had sufficient psychological preparation. He was not very depressed about not winning the big prize. Instead, he felt a little funny. It was not that the process of cleaning up the garbage was interesting, but a group of people quietly surrounded him from a distance while he was cleaning up the garbage. There were about a thousand people!
They made use of the various fragmented terrain and potholes created by the previous battle to hide themselves, not daring to attack directly.
Why were there still people who dared to court death at this time? Baiyi thought, puzzled. Even if the Church wanted to investigate the matter, they would not be able to mobilize so many people in such a short time. Even if the Church wanted to investigate, they would not be able to mobilize so many people in such a short time.
Baiyi paused his cleaning and took out the Book of Servitude. He was about to start chanting a forbidden spell when he saw a pair of hands rise from a pothole in the distance. A person shouted, "Wait! We're not here to fight! "
Then, a not-so-good-looking elf with the face of a human horse jumped out from the pothole. He was carrying a longbow on his back, and he ran toward Baiyi.
Although the elf's long ears did not live up to his looks, he was quite powerful. He was probably at least Immortal-level. He should be able to last a few seconds against Baiyi, right?
"I'm Gru," the elf introduced himself as he ran to Baiyi's side.
Baiyi tilted his head and did not reply. What he meant was, "So?"
Gru did not expect the elf to not even know his name, so he explained, "I'm the Empire's Supreme Commander. I'm currently responsible for cleaning up the mess you've left behind."
"Then why do you still dare to appear before me?" Baiyi asked, amused.
"Because there's no need to fight anymore," Gru replied solemnly. He told Baiyi about his relationship with the Wise Mad King, as well as his relationship with the Godsfall cult. Then, he told Baiyi about what had happened to the Godfall cult.
