Bail's reaction to Raven's proposal was immense, and Raven could clearly see that almost every single white hair on Bail's head stood up in shock.

  Never thought that such a huge bear man could also be cute.

  "Big brother... although I haven't done anything for you, you can't just cripple me like this!"

  Raven was stunned, and when he asked, Bell's reason made Raven laugh and cry. The reason is: Although they are both bear tribes, White Hair also yearns for the power and ferocity of Armored Violent Bears. Although Armored Violent Bears were once a fearsome bear species, they have now become two different species and cannot produce offspring with bear species.

  "Boss, I just had a litter of cubs with Maria and I was planning to make some more money and go back home to have a few more litters. You can't do this to me! My second half of life is ruined! Waaahhh!" After saying that, the guy actually started crying like a ghost or wolf, scaring the horse pulling the cart.

  Lei Wen was speechless.

  It wasn't until the goods had finished their clamor that Raven explained, "The Armored Violent Bear is a magical beast. You can't actually become an Armored Violent Bear! I was thinking of whether we could get a set of transplant armor and modify it to put on you as armor."

  Belle's eyes lit up at this, and she almost pounced on Raven with a bear hug.

  "Get lost! Scared the horse so now you can walk there yourself."

  Bail heard this and immediately retreated in shame.

  In Raven's plan, he needed a meat shield. Don't look at Belle now with her capable and resistant appearance, the thick fur of the half-beastman was no longer useful after reaching the White Silver level.

  Let's just say that there are at least a hundred ways to beat down a White Mage, who is slow in combat. The sharp equipment of other jobs alone can kill them thousands of times over.

  On the entire continent, the armor of orcs and beastmen is the most difficult to obtain. Firstly, human and dwarf nations intentionally or unintentionally do not want good armor to fall into the hands of these warlike guys. Secondly, the huge body shape of orcs and beastmen requires a lot more materials for armor compared to humans and dwarves.

  Beastmen and half-beasts often only use their own crude leather armor, and during wartime even brand whole iron plates on their chests.

  So a good suit of armor is almost every Orc's and Half-Orc's dream.

  In Raven's imagination, where he was trying out his bronze body, it just so happened that he could get something useful for Bell.

  On this side, Raven is taking Belle on the road.

  On the other hand, Karin, who was in a state of intense training, received Raven's message.

  "Hey, latest news, the owner of that carriage you specified has returned. Apparently much stronger now, and even gained the reputation of 'Shadow Walker'."

  Karin darted over like a little bird, snatched the note from her new friend's hand, read it quickly again and again, then placed the note on her chest, let out a long sigh.

  "Is it him? But he's called Rex though."

  "That's right, it's him." Feeling the clear pulse of the soul connection, Karin's face flushed red.

  "Hey, your little lover did a great job! Won in the Shadow Festival."

  "This time Karin's face suddenly turned red like a steamed prawn: "Anna, he is my brother!"

  "Is it yours?"

  Biting her lip, Karin's face was red and she finally shook her head weakly.

  "That's all that matters!" Anna smiled and blessed Karin. In the teachings of the Church of Love and Beauty, all love should be open and honest. At every festival, showing affection to those you love is the most important part of the celebration. So these brave and passionate female believers never shy away from discussing romance.

  Karin's side of things was unknown to Raven. He was heading west, his target the Iron Spider Mine 100 kilometers from Shalos Town.

  There, Raven has the trial he wants and the legacy of the mechanist he wants.

  In Raven's original idea, the best choice should have been to obtain the divinity of Phantom Goddess Laila. With the phantom divinity, he could directly unlock an extremely rare profession in the previous life game - Phantom Swordsman. This profession is positioned between Swift Swordsman and Shadow Dancer.

  With the swift swordsman's dizzying high speed, and the Shadow Dancer's powerful survival skills, what's more important is that due to the Phantom Spirit's existence, you can summon a powerful phantom clone with the same breath as yours at any time, capable of manufacturing massive damage.

  Unfortunately, due to a stingy goddess being miserly with her divinity, Raven's exchange fell through. Although he got the embryo of the divine artifact, his inner complaints were unavoidable.

  The path on this side is temporarily impassable. After completing the Bronze Body, if Levin can't get the Murder God's divinity in the short term, he needs to consider whether to activate his own Mechanic Bloodline as soon as possible. Of course, the Murder Church is Levin's backyard, and among Shrike's Twelve Priests, except for 'God's Right Hand' and 'Shrike's Brain', the other priests are like leeks in their own courtyard, and Levin can harvest them whenever he wants.

  It exercises both body and blood vessels, and can also find Bell's armor, Iron Spider Mine is absolutely the best choice.

  In the southern part of the Golden City, many areas are desolate and barren. Raven and Bell traveled forward, encountering intermittent landmarks along the way - massive basalt that perfectly matched Raven's memories of the route.

  These massive rocks are remnants of ancient volcanic eruptions and now look like lighthouses in the desert, guiding Raven's direction.

  On the fourth day of leaving Shalos Town, in the early afternoon, the wide horse road gradually turned into a gravel road leading to another distant basalt rock. As I walked along the gravel road around the east side of the rock, there were two excavated guard towers on the surface of the rock, and the arrow holes above made Bai Mao tense up.

  "It's nothing, it's just a legacy of the dwarves' era. However, the dwarves left here over two hundred years ago, and now there should only be some poor families with nowhere to go left."

  As they passed through the path between the two guard towers, the two of them suddenly found that the endless desert had disappeared, and in place of the dull sea of sand was a dilapidated village, with thatched cottages and barren fields stretching out from an ancient stone tower.

  "This is spooky, it's just like back home." Bell muttered.

  It is undeniable that the beastmen who failed in the war were driven to the desert to fend for themselves. In the thousands of years of history on the continent of Azeroth, there have been numerous records of battles between beastman tribes and human empires.

  Levin's current identity is half-elf, but he still doesn't want to take on this topic.

  The village of Ironhaven was built on the ruins of an ancient dwarven trading post. In days long past, this place had served as a secret mining operation for the most powerful clan of Copper Helm Dwarves. Little remained of the original dwarven architecture except for scattered foundations and a lone watchtower. However, the well and water storage system that the dwarves had carefully constructed were still functional, allowing the human residents to farm the poor soil and eke out a meager existence.

  Strangers like Raven and Bai Mao were rare, the peasants who tilled the land stared at this strange pair with puzzled eyes.

  No one dared to greet Raven, only the most curious little children came over, chattering and asking this and that.

  Lei Wen and his two companions stayed in the village for only one night, replenished their food and water, and then set off again.

  On the second day at noon, they came to a strange and gigantic stone carving. The weathered stone carving was made of ancient basalt and carved into a giant eight-legged spider. Each leg of the spider was a hump-shaped hill, while its mouth was a bottomless pit.

  At the entrance of the cave, there is an iron railing that was obviously added later by humans. On it, in Common and Dwarvish script, is written: "Turn back! There are only spiders in the cave! The consequence of forced entry is but one - death!"

  "Spider?" Belle's hair obviously trembled: "Boss, to be honest, I'm not good at these hairy things."

  Levin gave him a glance and took out the chest armor of Elisson's full-body armor from his storage ring, handing it to Bell.

  "I've already activated the above-mentioned 【Enhanced Resistance】 and 【Protective Arrows】, you can use them as a shield for now."

  Bell blinked, puzzled: "When did spiders learn how to shoot arrows?"

  "You'll know soon enough."

  "Huh, boss, where did you get so many healing scrolls?"

  Magic scrolls are a good thing, as long as the intelligence is not too low, and the corresponding opening spell is read correctly, the corresponding magic can be released from the scroll. Anyone with a bit of magical talent can use it, unfortunately, it's just too expensive. Even high-ranking mages who can cast 7th-level spells can only produce one or two 5th-level spell scrolls per day, even if they work themselves to exhaustion.

  This has also led to the price of scrolls remaining high.

  This stack of healing scrolls nearly bankrupted Raven.

  Of course, money is useless if it's just being saved and not spent where it should be. Otherwise, currency is just a pile of meaningless metal.

  "Bail, it's time for your test. Remember, after you go in, without my consent, you absolutely cannot retreat a single step."

  "Oh! I see!"

  One hand holding the secret silver chest armor as a shield, one hand wielding a torch walking in front, after Bell walked more than 200 meters inside the mountain cave, he finally knew why spiders shoot arrows.

  "How terrifying! So many terrifying things!" Belle cried out in alarm.

  In front of Bell was a large pile of mechanical monstrosities. These were intelligent spider-like constructs that, upon finding Bell, didn't give any warning and directly fired pressure guns at him.

  Bailu had a shield, but his body was bigger, and he was shot on the spot. The thick fur that he was proud of was as thin as paper under these spears!

  "Boss, I can't hold on!" Bell shouted loudly.

  "What was I saying?" Raven asked from behind him in the distance.

  "I absolutely cannot back down one step without your consent!" Bell almost tearfully responded.

  "That's right!"

  Half a minute has passed.

  "Big brother... I've lost so much blood, I'm going to die!"

  [Healing Technique]! A flash of light shone from afar, and Belle's wounds were rapidly healing. The Terror Beast tried to find the caster, but couldn't locate its target.

  After a while.

  "Boss... I'm done for! I've lost too much blood, I feel dizzy!"

  Treatment!

  "Big brother... this is no longer something that can be solved with medical treatment. There's a spear stuck in my butt and I couldn't pull it out!"

  Therapeutic Techniques

  "Big brother...... I......" This time, Bai'er fainted very abruptly.
