"Unbelievable, unbelievable, you kid actually managed to get this High Rank Giant Dragon’s Dragon Horn. Even when the Black Iron Dwarves were not yet in decline, they wouldn’t dare easily provoke such powerful creatures."
Master Gulu held the Demon Dragon Horn, thicker and longer than his arm, his hands constantly caressing it as if he were enchanting the most beautiful girl in the Black Iron Tribe.
"Do you think this Demon Dragon Horn has the potential to upgrade the Aurora Blade?" Lu Heng was also unsure if this Demon Dragon Horn was sufficient.
Although this Demon Dragon Horn is SS-level material, having materials doesn’t necessarily guarantee successful forging. If the forging fails, it could even result in a downgrade of the weapon’s grade.
Master Gulu was very cautious, not only worrying about wasting materials but also concerned about ruining his proudest work.
"Hold on a minute, we can’t rush this. I need to carefully study how to forge a stronger Divine Weapon. If I could get an SS-level Divine Weapon to study, that would be ideal."
As Master Gulu spoke, he began flipping through his iron-covered forging book.
Hearing this, Lu Heng smiled faintly. He flipped his palm and took out a scythe, spun it twice in his hand, and slapped it onto the table: "Take it for research."
Master Gulu grabbed the Blood-colored Scythe, his eyes immediately widening: "You really have a Divine Weapon of this level!"
This Blood-colored Scythe is truly called [Death God’s Deputy], and its level is indeed SS-level.
Since it is an SS-level Divine Weapon, its power certainly isn’t weak.
However, this scythe is a bit special, as a significant part of its power is manifested in the Fourth Transition Rank [Death God’s Deputy].
If you don’t sacrifice blood to obtain this class, the actual power of this scythe will be much less.
Lu Heng had considered whether to use this weapon but, after weighing the pros and cons, decided to give it up.
After all, the forms of a scythe and a sword are not interchangeable. Forcing the scythe as a weapon would definitely feel awkward.
Secondly, the origin of this scythe wasn’t clear.
Although this scythe was released from the Bone Sovereign, it might not necessarily have been created by him.
If another creator is behind this scythe, does it mean that this creator can also control those who acquire the [Death God’s Deputy] class through the scythe?
If this speculation holds true, then this scythe is a hidden threat.
Lu Heng briefly explained the situation with the scythe and said, "I’ll leave the scythe for the master to research. I hope you’ll gain some insights."
"Alright, alright, this scythe is... exquisite." Master Gulu focused entirely on the scythe, losing interest in talking with Lu Heng.
The Aurora Blade is already an S-level Divine Weapon, and upgrading it through forging again would naturally be very challenging.
Even for Gulu, a Forging Master of the Black Iron Dwarves, it requires time to prepare slowly.
This matter can’t be rushed, so Lu Heng left the materials and the scythe, and then left Quenching Castle, arriving at the Coastal International Hotel, where he directly used [Void Flash] to enter the top-floor presidential suite.
This room was the agreed meeting place with Ke Yiming.
At the moment, Ke Yiming was sitting on the sofa in the living room, smoking a cigarette.
Upon seeing Lu Heng’s appearance, he quickly put out the cigarette and stood up.
"Still alive, it seems you’ve already deceived the people in the organization." Lu Heng sized him up.
"That’s right, those two shots almost cost me my life." Ke Yiming patted the bandage on his left shoulder, his tone somewhat resentful.
"From now on, you are an undercover agent in the Creator Organization. Someone will contact you with the code name 2501."
Unless necessary, Lu Heng wouldn’t personally handle the contact work; there would be specialized intelligence personnel to communicate with him and assign tasks.
Ke Yiming raised his hand to interrupt: "I’ll follow the arrangements, but you have to give me back the class scythe. Without it, I might blow my cover at any time."
He had reviewed everything he discussed with 013 Black Crow, and the only loophole was with the Blood-colored Scythe.
Lu Heng spread his hands: "The scythe can’t be given to you, figure it out yourself."
Ke Yiming’s gaze darkened, and he said angrily, "If the organization’s contact wants me to bring out the scythe, not having it on hand will get me killed immediately!"
Lu Heng thought for a moment and calmly said, "You can say the scythe was destroyed. The Bone Sovereign is dead, so it’s reasonable that the scythe he gave you was destroyed, isn’t it?"
Ke Yiming’s expression grew more serious: "But I have the [Death God’s Deputy] class. Having this class proves the scythe still exists."
Lu Heng laughed softly: "As long as you don’t say anything, no one will know you have this class."
Ke Yiming looked confused: "What if I get the Fourth Transition Source Material? If I can’t use it by then, the [Death God’s Deputy] class will be exposed."
Lu Heng gazed at him playfully, teasing him: "It seems you don’t quite understand this class. It doesn’t prevent you from acquiring other Fourth Transition classes. If you obtain other Fourth Transition Source Materials, you can have two Fourth Transition classes simultaneously.
"In any case, I need the scythe and won’t return it; you’ll have to figure out how to conceal this secret yourself.
"Now, your first task is to investigate the whereabouts of the [Life Tree Vine]."
Ke Yiming’s eyes narrowed in surprise: "You’ve already acquired a Fourth Transition class?"
Since the [Judgement Blade] class was obtained from the Elf Clan and used only once when defeating the Bone Sovereign, Ke Yiming hadn’t seen the battle process and was unaware that Lu Heng possessed a Fourth Transition class.
However, the earlier conversation had implicitly revealed this information.
Lu Heng did not bother to hide it further. He reached out and patted Ke Yiming on the shoulder, chuckling lightly: "Or what did you think I relied on to kill a demigod?"
