Mrs. and Mr. Smith
Chapter 2241

Chapter 2241: Chapter 2239: Cunning Battle with the Refining Master Chapter 2241: Chapter 2239: Cunning Battle with the Refining Master “It's just a pity, these two magical artifacts have already lost their artifact souls. Even with repair, they can only unleash power at the level of Saint Weapons at most.”

The Dwarf let out a sigh, touching directly on the issue.

“Isn't there a way to mend these artifact souls?”

Ethan Smith furrowed his brow, these artifacts having blocked the final strike from Joab Banks, he hadn't thought their damage would be so severe.

The creation of an artifact soul requires either a millennium of nurturing by the user, or a suitable soul spirit to be refined and sealed within, only then could these two magical artifacts regain their functions.”

The Dwarf shook his head, it wasn't something that could be restored by skills alone.

“A suitable soul spirit?”

Ethan Smith suddenly thought of Monster King Quixote Titterington, a defense attribute demonic beast that inherits the Black Tortoise bloodline.

If he could obtain its divine soul, and refine it into the Five Elements Supreme Mountain, that might potentially rekindle the power of this magical artifact.

“Brother, how's your craftsmanship? Can you forge magical artifacts?”

Ethan Smith suddenly recalled Elder Baker's hardwood, a wood that surpasses most materials in hardness after thousands of years of refining by Elder Baker. If successfully forged into a magical artifact, it should be of high grade.

“Nonsense, as long as you can afford it, there's no artifact I can't forge.”

The dwarf impatiently exclaimed, seemingly dissatisfied with Ethan Smith's doubt.

Ethan Smith thought for a moment and pulled out the Pagoda Tree Shield.

“Can this wooden block be remodeled?”

“You possess quite a few fine items with you. This is Locust Wood, right? Such hard Locust Wood is quite rare, even typical defensive Saint Weapons cannot compare to this wooden block.”

The dwarf revealed some admiration, casually picking up a sharp knife from the side and attempting to cut the Pagode Tree Shield.

As his words fell, nothing, not even a mark, was able to be left on the shield.

“This Locust Wood has been refined for a long time and has developed its own artifact soul. If you want to refine it into a suitable magical artifact, you need not only Nine Heavens Mysterious Iron, Fine Steel Stone, Gold Crystal Stone, and Meteorite Stone but also these materials aren't cheap. I'll charge a hundred Gremlin.”

The Dwarf stared at Ethan Smith, watching his reaction to the quote.

“That's too expensive.”

Ethan Smith shook his head. One Gremlin is equivalent to over a hundred million divine senses. This Dwarf was utterly ruthless in his price.

“I have another idea, you might want to hear it.”

The dwarf revealed a sly smile.

“Let's hear it first.”

Ethan Smith replied cautiously.

“Your cloth robe has already lost its artifact soul. One could attempt to dissolve the material of this robe and combine it with my materials on this Locust Wood. This could potentially lead to surprising results, and I can charge you only a 50% processing fee.”

The Dwarf whispered earnestly, “But… it might also fail, resulting in the destruction of all the magical artifacts.”

“Bullshit! You damned, stinking Dwarf, always fooling people like this. I gave you my two Treasures last time, and now you're trying to fool people again!”

An infuriated middle-aged man nearby yelled out.

“You have the nerve to hide in Lornclould City all your life, go out and see if I don't chop you into eighteen pieces. Damn it!”

“Refining artifacts can always result in successes and failures–you're only seeing the failure in front of you but you don't see the tireless efforts I've made behind the scenes. That's not right.”

The dwarf defended himself without flinching.

“Bullshit! Your supposed Refining Master title is all talk. You're practicing with our artifacts, claiming that it could upgrade grades. Damn it! I was a fool to believe your nonsense.”

Another person joined the conversation, almost spitting on Ethan Smith in his rage.

“Brother, don't listen to them. I swear I'm not just using this for practice. I'll give you a generous 30% discount.”

Seeing so many people undermining him, the dwarf was anxious all of a sudden.

But Ethan Smith ignored the dwarf and turned to inspect the magic artifacts displayed on the market stall.

Ethan Smith quietly unleashed his Desolate Divine Eye, the world in front of him turning black and white.

And in the nearby corner, a pair of nondescript boots were casually put on the table.

Countless white lines were linked to the Void. These were the lines of Laws.

Being able to resonate with the laws of the world, they almost reached the level of top-tiered Saint Weapons.

Moreover, the number of these laws surpassed what Ethan Smith had ever seen on any other Saint Weapon.

“Brother, your suggestion is reasonable, but it's quite risky for me. What do you think about this: I won't ask you for a discount, and won't blame you if it fails.”

Ethan Smith proposed with a smile.

“Great! I knew you were a noble person. You're the only one with such courage. I will definitely do my best, maybe I can refine a tribulation artifact for you!”

The dwarf was overjoyed when he heard this.

“But… I want to pick three items from your artifacts.”

Ethan Smith pointed to the magic artifacts on the stall and smiled.',

“No, no, at most one. Each of these artifacts I have painstakingly refined holds my blood and tears…”

The dwarf shook his head as if he were a drum wheel.

“Fine, well, I'm taking such a big risk only for one item. I feel like it's a loss, maybe I'll pass…”

Ethan Smith played along.

“Come on, we've agreed brother, you can't back out now. As you said, fine! Hahaha, let's make an oath now!”

The dwarf jumped up from his stall, grasping onto Ethan Smith's thigh as if he feared him going back on his word.

You need to understand that in this remote Star System, magical artifacts are extremely valuable. And, for Refining Masters to make them, not only precious materials are required but also a massive amount of time.

Even for an experienced Refining Master, having a success rate of 30-40% is already remarkable.

Therefore, being able to use someone else's top-grade magical artifacts for refining is an exceptional opportunity.

“Alright, seeing your enthusiasm…”

Ethan Smith reluctantly signed the oath.

Swearing on the Path of Heaven, unless it's an old antique that once descended upon the Path of Heaven, no one dared to break the oath.

“I will take these boots then; my shoes just happen to have a hole in them!”

Ethan Smith grabbed the boots in the corner.

The dwarf's eyes bulged out in an instant, “Why… Why do you choose this? Look at the numerous good artifacts on the stall, like this fireball – it seals a whole volcano. Once released, it destroys every plant in a hundred-meter circumference! And, and this mountain turnover seal…”

'Haha, no need. I want this.”

Ethan Smith laughed heartily, dropping his act.

He activated his divine sense, placing a mark on the boots.

Then, after a gentle psychic effort, the boots appeared on his feet.

“Brother, what is the name of these boots?”

Ethan Smith asked gleefully.

“Wind-Riding Boots.”

The dwarf gritted his teeth as he spoke.

These boots were made from the complete hide of an ancient great shed and merged with countless precious ores. After refining, he spent decades engraving dozens of Gale Arrays on the boots. To avoid attracting attention, he specifically carved an array to conceal its wind property.
