Chapter 460: Ninety-Sixth Floor, Divine Armament (1)
Vironus had declared what I was supposed to do as if it were nothing out of the ordinary, but I couldn’t share her nonchalance. To me, it didn’t sound simple in the slightest.
The only nearby structure was the massive crimson structure that the god had disappeared into. I could head off in another direction and see what awaited there, but if that were the case, why would I need to gather the materials myself?
Is mining this trial’s pain point?
“So, do I have to collect minerals or ores from around here?”
“Not from here, and the materials aren’t limited to minerals either.”
Not from here?
I frowned. The fact that the materials weren’t restricted to minerals didn’t make much sense either. Aside from accessories, I had only ever equipped armor, gauntlets, and boots. Boots could be crafted from leather, sure, but what else would one use besides metal to forge armor or gauntlets?
Don’t tell me everything’s going to be made out of leather.
Perhaps noticing the confusion written all over my face, Vironus added, “Put simply, the materials can be whatever. Flowers, grass, or just anything you can find. In the end, everything will be fused once it’s thrown into the hottest flame.”
“Like a furnace?” I hadn’t known the proper term, so I had said the first thing that came to mind.
“Ah, yes. Something similar.” Vironus nodded in confirmation.
Based on what I understood, the materials I brought would be infused into the molten metal. That wasn’t too strange. I couldn’t recall exactly, but I vaguely remembered hearing something about alloying back on Earth.
