"What a rare guest! How come you have time to come to my Melo Petersburg today? Are you here to inspect the work?" The man spoke teasingly as he looked at the girl in front of him.

Saphir couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "That's right, I'm here to inspect the work. I heard that you have a large wasteland in Mellow Petersburg. The land is so valuable now, and you just abandoned it like that. It's really a dereliction of duty."

Leosli didn't expect Saphir to say that, and he didn't react for a moment. After a few seconds, he came to his senses: "There are indeed many abandoned places in Melo Petersburg. Do you want to borrow the facilities here?

Why don't you tell me which one you want, and I'll see if I can still use it."

What he said was not whether he could borrow it, but whether he could use it. In Leosley's opinion, let alone some facilities, even if Saphir proposed to replace him as the Duke here, he would probably agree without hesitation.

Saphir didn't bother to be polite with him and said directly: "I remember there was a very large forging area here, I think it was called a furnace or something? Do you still remember the place where the primordial ore was forged?"

"The furnace..." Leosli pondered for a moment, then nodded, "There is indeed such a place, but because of the dangerousness of the facility, it was later abandoned. Now even the passage leading there has been closed. Strictly speaking, that place doesn't even belong to Melo Petersburg."

"What? I can't get in?" Safir felt a little crazy because he had been hearing bad news all the time in the past two days.

Leosli immediately spoke to comfort him: "It's not that we can't get in, it's just that the passage is blocked. If you want to go there, there's no need to go this way. There's an underwater path that can lead you there."

"Is that so?" Saphir felt much better, but then he felt helpless. "Then why am I applying for a permit..."

In response, Leosley smiled and said, "Well, how about I sign the permit as well? From now on, it will be considered a long-term permit. You can come in anytime without applying."

"Who would go to jail for no reason?" Safire also laughed.

After the two chatted for a while, Leosli took out a map and drew a route for Saphir to the furnace area: "This is it. It's actually a bit dilapidated over the years. I'm not sure if there will be any dangers, but if it's you, I think you shouldn't encounter any troubles that you can't solve."

"Okay, thank you for showing me the way." After putting away the map, Saphir was about to leave. Just as she stood up, she suddenly thought of something and sat back down, staring at Leosley with burning eyes.

Her appearance made Leosley feel uncomfortable all over. He asked stiffly, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

"Noah, lend him to me." Saphir asked to borrow Noah in order to prepare for the fight against the secret realm in the Erinath area.

Hearing Saphir's request, Leosli did not agree immediately, but asked: "Although Noah is very big, it does not have any special abilities. Do you need such a big ship?"

"I want to reform him. I have a very difficult guy to deal with." Saphir did not intend to hide anything from Leosli. Although the two met less frequently, their friendship was deeper than that of ordinary people.

When Leosley heard this, he blurted out, “Do you need help?”

Saphir shook his head: "You can't help. You can't use elemental power in that place. Do you understand me?"

"That's a pity. I thought I could ask Clorinde to go on a business trip. Now it seems that this is not our battlefield anymore." Leosli was a little disappointed, but he was very calm and promised, "You can send someone over to carry out the transformation at any time. It's not a big deal."

Saphir was very happy: "Okay, I'll send someone over later. Fortunately, Villette has given me two extra visiting quotas, so I don't have to make another trip."

As for the visiting quota, she plans to use it on Sandoñe and Abatoi.

Gulab's abilities were very strange, and she did not intend for his existence to be known to Sandonie.

Although Sandone has been trying to show goodwill, her actions are purposeful and not sincere.

Sandoni concealed his own secrets and expressed his willingness to cooperate with Safire in some unimportant aspects. This behavior made Safire unable to let down his guard against him.

And this girl Sandone... maybe because of her background, she doesn't have the empathy that a human being should have. Rather than being a human being, she is more like a precision-operated machine.

She has more empathy for silicon-based creatures than carbon-based ones, which makes Saphir subconsciously want to keep a certain distance from her.

The reason why Kunfeng chose to flee out of fear was because of Sandone. This guy's style of doing things is not bright, and is often very cruel. The most common way she punishes people is the same as for machines, and she will choose to dismantle some parts of the other party.

When a machine is disassembled, its parts may not work smoothly or may bump into things, but they can always be put back together.

But if humans lose some parts, they will die, and die painfully, which is why Saphir cannot get close to Sandone.

After leaving Melo Petersburg, Saphir immediately headed to the Furnace District according to the route map given by Leosli.

How can I put it? It's indeed an area that has been in disrepair for a long time. The place has been completely abandoned.

Using a combination of methods, including repeated attempts, multiple restarts, repairs, and brute force, Saphir managed to carve out a path through the water to the furnace area.

It is worth mentioning that she also met a seahorse with lightning on its body halfway.

Literally, sea, horse.

When he saw the seahorse, Safire was quite curious and thought it would be a good idea to catch it and keep it as a pet. But unfortunately, this thing seemed a bit fierce and was not something that could be tamed. So Safire killed it and cut off the seahorse's horns as a trophy.

Arriving at the furnace area and looking at the desolate scene around him, Saphir pondered for a long time and took out the Cave Heaven Pass.

On the other side, Ying and Paimon were accompanying the two new tycoons of Fontaine to go shopping, taste all kinds of food, and buy some small things.

As a traveler, Ying would naturally not take the initiative to pay, even though her small treasury had already been enriched because of Saphir's generosity, but the number one Fu Nina would not allow herself to let others pay when she treated others.

Therefore, all the expenses today will be paid by Funina. As for the second person, Krevi...

She only needs to be responsible for eating and drinking.

Taking care of the residents of Fontaine is also the duty of the retired water god.

The four people were eating cake happily, but a communication request broke their atmosphere.

Ying took out the Dongtian Pass and answered the call: "Hmm? Saphir? What do you want from me?"

"I'd like to ask you for help with a job. Do you want to do it?" Safire didn't say what the job was, but spoke in a tone as if he was issuing a task.

Ying raised her eyebrows when she heard that. She would certainly not refuse the task arranged by Saphir, but... bargaining was necessary.

So, she hesitated for a moment and said, "Well... you know I'm actually quite busy recently..."

"I just got a very special material, which was cut from a primitive sea creature that had become a spirit. It looks like it can be sold for quite a lot of money." Saphir directly took out the material he had just obtained to tempt.

Although Ying is a weapon control freak, she has no resistance to special materials. After all, as a traveler, you never know when you will need such things, so she will subconsciously collect those strange things.

Hearing that Saphir had special materials, Ying could no longer sit still and stood up immediately: "Oh, of course I will complete the task of Lady Aurora with quality and quantity! I will be there immediately if you order me."

"I'm near the underwater anchor point in Feili District. Just come over." After saying that, she hung up the phone.

After a while, four figures appeared in front of Saphir.

Ying and Paimon were the ones she called, so there’s nothing strange about that, but what about the two little cuties, one red and one blue, following behind them?

"Sister Weiwei and Funina? Why are you two here?" Saphir was a little confused.

Krevy walked over quickly, grabbed Saphir's arm and whispered, "We were just shopping with Ying. We heard that you had something to do with her, so we came together."

Funina raised her head slightly: "Don't thank us too much!"

Saphir didn't know what to say about this. Help was indeed needed, but neither Finina nor Krevi had the Eye of God, so it would be very dangerous for them to run here.

Just when she was about to ask the two to go back, she met Krevie's narrowed eyes and swallowed back the rest of her words. Forget it, it's not that she can't protect them. If they want to follow, then let them follow.

Ying and Xiao Paimeng were in place, but there were still not enough people, so Saphir called Fushe Kunfeng, Xier and Shuanghua one after another.

This time the forging team has finally assembled.

Because Ying was here, several people came through the Dongtian Gate, and the speed was very fast.

After everyone had gathered, Saphir led the group into the furnace area.

“This is the abandoned furnace area in Fontaine. We have chosen to forge the weapons here this time.

The main reason is that the space is large. I have also checked the facilities inside. They do show signs of aging, but they are not unusable. "Safir walked in front and gave instructions as he walked, "We will clean up first and make this place thoroughly clean.

Kunfeng, I plan to set up a permanent location here. Didn't you train a group of blacksmiths? I'll ask if anyone wants to stay in Fontaine and set this place up as a base."

"Okay, Lord Guizhong, I'll deal with it right away." Kunfeng agreed immediately.

Saphir sighed softly, "Don't call me that when you're out."

Several people talked as they walked, and soon entered the furnace area.

Opening the mechanical door that was barely functioning, little Paimon exclaimed, "This place is so huge! Are all these facilities used for forging? It's amazing."

There is an enormous mechanical device in the center of the furnace area. It is more accurate to say that the entire furnace area is built around this facility rather than being placed there. Therefore, the forging facilities occupy most of the area of ​​the furnace area.

The area of ​​the Furnace Zone is actually only slightly smaller than that of Mellow Petersburg. Of course, this comparison is not reasonable, because Mellow Petersburg is layered, and is divided into eight layers, so it is naturally larger than the Furnace Zone.

So, what we are talking about here is actually the simple floor space.

The mechanical facilities in the center are very large. The large platform in the middle is used to place materials. The platform extends a long distance backwards. There is an operating table there, which can be used to operate the mechanical arms around it.

Eight huge robotic arms stretched out and occupied the eight corners of the area. Just by looking at these robotic arms, one could guess how earth-shattering this facility would be when it was put into operation.

While Ying and Xiao Paimeng were amazed, Fushe frowned and expressed his doubts: "Gui... Ahem! Lord Saphir, why do I feel that this facility doesn't look like a forging tool? I've also seen it at the Beaumont Workshop. Regardless of whether it relies on machinery or not, there must always be a safe place for the forger.

But here... that platform is completely within the range of the mechanical arm's hammering, right? If someone stands there, wouldn't the blacksmith become a consumable? Not to mention Kunfeng, even if I stand there, I will be beaten into a pulp."

Kunfeng also nodded vigorously: "Master Fushe is right. Those mechanical arms do look intimidating, but they can't be operated precisely, right? If you want to forge weapons, you still need human intervention, but... there is no room, right?"

Their meaning was very clear. It was not realistic to forge weapons in this place. Especially after activating the device, the core area would become a very dangerous forging area, and people had to hide behind the operating table and the rear to ensure safety.

Saphir did not answer immediately, but Funina stood up and said, "Oh, well, I think you misunderstood."

"Misunderstanding?" Fushe and Kunfeng looked at the former water god at the same time, their faces full of confusion.

Fu Nina spread her hands and said as a matter of course: "Yes, the Furnace District, as the name suggests, this place is a furnace. I don't need to explain the function of the furnace, right?

The main function of the facilities here is not to forge weapons or parts, but to refine raw ores, so they naturally do not require very precise operations. "

"Ah? So that's what's going on!" Fushe finally understood what Safir meant. "So, Lord Safir is planning to refine the raw ore here?"

Saphir nodded slightly, then shook his head: "Refining the raw ore is a must. I have seen the materials that Shuanghua brought. Baalzebub is indeed very generous and gave a lot of good things. However, if they are used directly to make weapons, there will be a lot of impurities, which will affect the quality of the weapons. Therefore, the first step of refining is essential."

Shuanghua had no objection to this, but was still curious and asked, "But after refining, what should we do next? We still don't have the facilities for forging."

"This question is very simple. If there is no one, can't we just build one? There is a giant furnace here, and it is underwater. If there is enough firepower, do you think it is difficult to build a forging table here?" Saphir's eyes were bright as he looked at the people in front of him.

Krevy clapped her hands and understood. "It's 'integration', right? Completely transform this furnace area and turn it into a blacksmith workshop, specializing in forging weapons and equipment and processing raw ore. After all, it's underwater, so it's a natural advantage for building water-cooling facilities."

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case, so she hugged Saphir's head and said, "Feifei, you are so smart!"

"Wow, Krevi has suppressed Saphir so well..." Paimon whispered to Firefly.

Ying nodded in agreement: "So no matter who it is, having a sister means they have a biggest weakness. Look at Saphir now. He is not much different from a punching bag in front of Krevy."
