Chapter 1022: Chapter 502: Old Friends and Past Events

Li Ang fully understood Farlonio’s implications.

Even if she didn’t say it, he could roughly sense it.

With that young lady’s arrogance, it’s hard to imagine she would let anyone see even a glimpse of her embarrassment. Given her capabilities, she wouldn’t wait until someone enters her home to respond.

She must have thought ahead, considering what could happen when inviting Li Ang over to help, allowing him to enter her home after arriving on Sword Platform Island, yet she still opened her doors.

Though coming first to Sword Platform Island was initially due to Falo’s little green dragon going missing, based on Li Ang’s understanding of Elaphia, without her consent, Crafty Merchant Douding wouldn’t have dared to bring people here.

Thus, after witnessing the Alaphia Family’s difficult situation, Li Ang felt the ambiguous layer between him and Elaphia was instead dispersed.

Previously, perhaps they both had reservations, especially since Li Ang embarked on the adventure of forming a new group. With Aifei’s plans falling through, every encounter with the Star Flower Travel Corps saw her showing more or less concern.

Now, allowing Li Ang to see her life’s lows was actually her taking a step forward, fully revealing her intentions.

So, let me take a look at the shadows cast upon her by the Weapon Race and the Alma Clan.

"Where is the forge here?" Li Ang asked.

Farlonio grinned and said, "Follow me."

Elaphia should be the truly tired one, but she temporarily has to attend to family matters, making it impossible for Li Ang to truly rest in a room, leading Falo to guide him toward the forge.

Crafty Merchant Douding strangely gave Li Ang the impression that he seemed to carry the layout of the Alma Mansion in his mind, yet perhaps hadn’t visited for a long time, needing to confirm periodically as they walked.

"Previously helped Aifei craft a weapon in my own forge. For now, I can’t return there, so we have to use the one here. Not sure if the setup remains the same."

After navigating some corners and taking several elevators, Farlonio’s expression gradually transformed with confidence, seemingly aligning with his memory.

As they saw the passage widening around them, the conveyor belts and cable tracks increasing in frequency and funneling toward the path’s end, everyone present understood that they’d arrived.

"I didn’t expect you to also be a craftsman, besides being a group leader," Lily said.

"Mr. Li Ang is even a member of the Dome Furnace Association," Falo smiled.

Crafty Merchant Douding explained the roots of the Dome Furnace Association to Lily and Diao, who listened in amazed admiration.

"Does the Great Witch Association make Spiritual Robes?" Diao asked.

Finished, the Ancient Witch Maiden glanced at her own robe. Besides this one robe embroidered with ancient patterns as formal equipment, she had no other armaments. When feeling melancholic due to reduced abilities after arriving in the Material Dimension, Li Ang once told her equipment could compensate, raising her expectations.

But now, evidently she mistook crafting equipment as forging armor.

"Were there times I wasn’t a craftsman in those dreams?" Li Ang asked with a smile.

The maiden vigorously shook her head from side to side.

"Don’t worry, I can handle it all."

"Wonderful," Lily remarked, "If repairs can be made to equipment, battles wouldn’t decline as easily."

Li Ang paused, eliciting from Liluliss a message: was she referring to the Wind Breath Sword?

The power of that sword was excessively unleashed by Zoe’s father to slay the freshly awoken adult Earth Serpent. This couple clearly couldn’t repair it, thus leaving it to Zoe, otherwise they would seek alternatives.

Losing a favorable Treasure Artifact without doubt impacts their battle prowess.

Under current known conditions, they both lack backup support and external forces.

"I’ll make equipment for you all, just a side task," Li Ang said.

"Awesome!" Lily cheerfully obliged, while Diao felt somewhat shy, only nodding gently.

Li Ang further inquired of the black-haired maiden: "What level of equipment is your robe?"

Due to the system’s inability to penetrate her mysterious power and view the panel, and the strength of this black slit robe resembling a nun’s attire not being apparent, he couldn’t perceive much detail.

However, previously in the mythological battle against an opponent like Arunak, this robe remained undamaged, even amidst her explosive destruction of a series of Imperial Battleships, it was unstained by soot.

"I’m unsure. The abbess gave it to me before leaving the Sect, want me to take it off for you to examine?"

"You don’t have spare clothes, best not to."

"Uh, mainly because I’ve been in battles constantly, but I haven’t worn it continuously without changing for ages."

Lily feared others might misunderstand, explained a bit, then added: "Look, it can actually change color and style, though I altered it to the form it was when I was in the underground church."

She infused magic power, and the robe resembling a nun’s black attire instantly shed its color, transforming into spotless white, its texture as smooth as silk, while the Bahamut embroidery turned golden.

"This is..."

This outfit was precisely what Zoe saw in Hedaya’s memory and Li Ang during his Transcendent Realm experience, worn by the "Divine Child."

"This is how the abbess gave it to me originally."

"I see."

This at least certifies the robe’s extraordinary quality and its witnessing of the Star Soul Liberation War.

During the conversation, the group entered the forge.

The equipment here was comprehensive, even top-notch, but Li Ang and Falo could discern that the furnace hadn’t been lit for a long time.
