Mystery: A Spark

"Damn it! I'll bite you... I'll bite you!"

Arthas bit Arthur's hand, mumbling harsh words indistinctly.

However, although it looks fierce now, it didn't actually use much force; it was just like it was holding Arthur's hand in its mouth.

"Okay, okay, I was just teasing you. I have something to tell you now," Arthur said with a smile.

"What is it?" Arthas released his mouth, but then cautiously pulled Arthur's arm into his chest.

Arthur didn't seem to care, and continued with a smile:

"If you go back to Backlund this Wednesday evening, you might have a chance to meet the lady Susie I mentioned earlier."

If Audrey wants to ensure she can find Zillingus, she will inevitably bring Susie with her.

"Hmph! I already said I'm not interested."

Alsace pointed his claws to the sky.

"I, Arthas, am dead."

Then he pointed to the ground.

"Die outside, jump from the second floor."

Then he said firmly:

"And I would absolutely never be interested in that Miss Susie you mentioned!"

"Tsk, whatever you want. If you don't want to go, that's fine too. I'll go out and buy ingredients and cook you something delicious tonight."

Arthur paid no attention to what the little thing said, because he knew it would definitely like it.

So he patted the puppy's head and went outside.

At the same time, he began to recall what had happened at the tarot meeting earlier.

Chapter 90 Fel Energy Is Not Fel Energy (4k words)

It's perfectly normal for Derrick the Little Sun to have a need for extraordinary weapons.

This is because Silver City is located in the land abandoned by the gods, surrounded by monsters, and the living environment is harsh.

Living in such a place, it's impossible for the residents not to fight.

However, as a city-state, Silver City's logistical capabilities were actually not that strong.

Therefore, the weapons used by the Silver City patrol team when they go out are actually mainly ordinary steel weapons without any extraordinary abilities.

Only teams undertaking major exploration missions, such as the exploration of the True Temple in the original work, are specially configured, and may even be personally led by the elders of the six-person council.

Therefore, the people there actually have a great demand for good weapons.

However, Silver City primarily focuses on the warrior route, with the audience route and the hanging man route as secondary options.

As for the others, there may be some other random and strange scattered sequences, but none of them should be as complete as the first three.

And there is no doubt that they did not have access to the powerful logistical resource of the generalists.

Therefore, Silver City's approach to magical items is full of their unique style.

That is, put together any extraordinary traits and items that you don't need, and then see how it goes.

The magical items obtained in this way have an effect almost equivalent to drawing cards in the FGO gacha pool.

Let alone a treasure worth a thousand stones, it's possible to find one treasure worth several thousand stones.

In such a situation, let alone weapons, having even a usable magical item would be a stroke of luck.

Therefore, whether from the original work or based on his own analysis, Arthur was well aware that Little Sun would definitely need a weapon.

If it were the old him, he would definitely have taken this opportunity to make a deal with Silver City.

This would both alleviate the predicament of Silver City and allow Arthur to reap considerable benefits.

However, after Arthur crafted Frostmourne for Bernadette aboard the Future, he discovered something he hadn't noticed before.

That is, using Gul'dan's Skull to manipulate extraordinary properties or create magical items is not without cost.

They all require a special kind of energy: evil energy.

Prior to this, Arthur had not acquired any magic related to fel energy and was cautious about using it.

So after discovering the fel energy within Gul'dan's Skull during his first inspection, he didn't pay much attention to it afterward.

Whether it's separating the Provocateur's extraordinary traits or simply creating magical items, both methods actually deplete the fel energy within Gul'dan's Skull.

However, the extent of this loss was relatively small, and Arthur, who didn't pay much attention to it, didn't really notice it.

It wasn't until he helped Bernadette break down the Pale Calamity at her request, and then, on a whim, transformed it into Frostmourne, that Arthur finally realized something was wrong.

It's like having 100,000 gold coins piled up in a warehouse; if a few or a dozen are missing, you won't even notice.

But if it's less than 30,000 or 50,000, then it's obvious right away.

After conducting several experiments, Arthur discovered that the fel energy in Gul'dan's Skull was actually sufficient if it was simply used to separate properties to facilitate his advancement.

Even occasionally, one might be able to create a few amazing items to play with, but that doesn't really matter.

However, fel energy has other uses besides that; it can also be used as a resource for sorcerers' spellcasting, which means Arthur no longer has the right to squander fel energy.

Not to mention becoming a weapons supplier for Silver City to profit from it.

Just in case, Arthur intends to avoid any unnecessary losses unless his fel energy is replenished.

Therefore, in this three-way transaction, Arthur simply transferred the Little Sun's weapon needs to Alger.

He took this approach because he knew that Alger had connections with artisans, and he didn't need anything from Alger at the moment.

Upon discovering that both creating magical items and separating extraordinary properties required the consumption of fel energy, Arthur also confirmed something he had previously suspected.

That is, the fel energy in the Skull of Gul'dan that his cheat ability carries may not be true fel energy.

Because true evil energy represents chaos, it doesn't possess such strange abilities.

Therefore, the energy contained within Gul'dan's skull must have been shaped in this way.

It has properties similar to fel energy, which can be used to cast warlock magic, but it is not fel energy.

It's easy to understand if you think about it: the appearance of something from Azeroth in the mysterious world is inherently abnormal.

Arthur traveled from Earth, not from Azeroth.

Even if he carries something with him, it's something from Earth, not something from Azeroth.

Unless, in the ritual he performed before crossing over, he summoned some extraordinary thing.

Otherwise, fel energy from Azeroth, the Goblin Head, or even the Warglaives of Azzinoth would never have appeared in the Mysterious World.

Even if such a universe exists, there is a planet called Azeroth in it.

Because of Arthur's fabricated ritual, he coincidentally brought something from Azeroth with him during his journey, which was unlikely to be the Skull of Gul'dan or the Warglaives of Azzinoth.

Because Illidan drained the fel energy from the dog's head in the main timeline, it was subsequently used by him as a collectible walnut and an ornament.

In another timeline, Gul'dan's skull was simply crushed by Illidan.

The Warglaives of Azzinoth were Illidan's primary weapon, which he never let go of.

So, if the Skull of Gul'dan and the Warglaives of Azzinoth arrive, does that mean that the ritual he performed before his time travel summoned Illidan?

But Arthur didn't see anyone else either.

If a tough guy like Egg Bro came to the mysterious world, it would be impossible for him not to cause some trouble.

Therefore, Arthur speculated that not only was the fel energy in Gul'dan's skull shaped in this way, but Gul'dan's skull itself was likely specially made in this way.

This confirmed something very important for Arthur.

That is......

His egg knife is probably fake too!

Ahem, I misspoke, that's not it.

Rather, there might be hope that the fel energy within his skull of Gul'dan could be replenished.

If the fel energy in Arthur's cheat codes is genuine fel energy, then there's little hope of getting it replenished.

But if this evil energy is transformed from something and deliberately shaped into this form, then Arthur can naturally do the same thing in the future.

It's not that Arthur only cares about the Egg Knife and fel energy, but not about the cheat codes themselves.

Rather, it's because Arthur hasn't yet reached a level where he can uncover the true secrets of the cheat system.

Even if he, like Klein, had some kind of arrangement made by a powerful figure, he wouldn't be able to explore it without reaching a certain level of attainment.

In the original novel, Klein's path to becoming a diviner was primarily due to guidance from the goddess of the night.

However, the goddess's guidance was not very forceful.

He simply left behind a diary entry at the night watchman's place in Tingen, in which Huang Tao regretted not choosing Gou Sanjia.

In addition, a beast tamer was arranged to perform a divination for Klein in order to pique his interest in the subject.

This is equivalent to the goddess saying:

"Hey, fellow countryman, here's a bright and prestigious path to success. If you don't take it, you'll miss this opportunity."

He was leading Klein down the path of a diviner in a seductive way.

In reality, if Klein is stubborn enough, or has absolutely no interest in divination, this kind of guidance is actually of little use.

For example, if Klein had been a powerful cultivator in his previous life, he would definitely be more interested in sleepless people who don't need to sleep.

If he is more interested in corpses, he might end up as a corpse collector.

If this were to happen, the goddess wouldn't send the Eraser Angel to force-feed the Diviner's Potion into Klein's mouth.

So at this stage, Klein is actually just an ordinary fellow villager to the goddess.

Although he possesses the Source Castle, the Goddess has not actually included him in the list of mysterious candidates.

Before Arthur traveled through time, he read a story that said the goddess arranged the deaths of several Night Watchers to motivate Klein to advance his career.

However, in his view, such a statement is illogical.
