Chapter 1680: 1680
“So, what is Spirit Casting?” Lu Li asked, knowing his chance had come .

It was rare to find an NCP who didn’t care much for his charisma . When he had blocked Prince Thunderaan’s Wind Blade, it had perfectly gained Highlord Demitrian’s favour .
The kindness of saving someone’s life was worth more than any level of charisma .
“Many craftsman were not human; The best ironsmiths were dwarves, runes were controlled by trolls, the forte of gnomes were jewels and the elves were experts in enchanting . Humans had learnt all sorts of crafts from these races, then gradually changed it to their own style…” Demitrian sighed with emotion .
“Was Spirit Casting invented by humans?” Lu Li asked .
“Of course not,” Demitrian shook his head and smiled, “It was invented by demons . Humans had learnt this too . ”
“You still haven’t explained what Spirit Casting is,” Lu Li was speechless . He couldn’t wait to understand what this Spirit Casting was . It would be ideal to learn how to use it . It was amazing just hearing about it .
“It’s basically putting a strong spirit into an equipment . It’s as simple as that,” Demitrian said straightforwardly
“So, do all demons’ weapons come from this?” It was the first time that Lu Li had heard about this .

“Well not entirely, only a small minority are like that . I heard that Illidan had a double-edged weapon with a perfect application of Spirit Casting . It had sealed a very strong being,” Demitrian’s face looked carried away .
Lu Li was just as carried away . It was a weapon only heard about in legends . It wasn’t exaggerating to call it a Magical weapon .
Illidan was strong not only because of his own abilities . Warglaive of Azzinoth, Skull of Gul’dan, Cursed Visions of Sargeras, Sargeras and the Betrayal were all Magical items that gave him a lot of power .
Illidan received the Warglaive of Azzinoth from a guard called Azzinoth . The specifics of its origin were not reliable, but some people thought it could have an even greater background . The Orc Mages’ Skull of Gul’dan contained strong power that tempted people into evil; It was a very long story .
The latter two objects came from Sargeras . When Illidan held it in his hand, they were true magic items .
Of course, the Instance Dungeon that dropped Egg Knives were weakened . Even so, Egg Knives were known to be the best of the best among the Epic equipment .
“Actually, Spirit Casting isn’t that amazing,” Demitrian answered, “Strong spirits are not easy to obtain . If I wanted to obtain a strong wind element, then I’d need to sacrifice my freedom . ”
“Is there no other way to seal a smaller spirit into it?” Lu Li asked .

“Of course, but I would warn you not to do so,” Demitrian cautioned as he worked, “There once was a period of time where casting spirits was very popular . At the time, no matter how low level the weapons were, Spirit Casters could seal a spirit into it . It was to a point of being misused . ”
“Then what happened? Why would a then-popular Spirit Casting now become unknown to people?”
“That’s a very good question . They found human spirits to be very special – they could multiply . It could still multiple no matter how many human spirits there already were, even if they were shared with other life forms . And it could have very good results too . At the start, people used convicts on death row’s spirits . Then, they used the spirits of prisoners of war . and then it spiralled out of control . Villages were destroyed . The elderly and children… anyways nothing was left . Can you imagine what that was like?”
“I can imagine,” Lu Li suddenly felt that this was similar to the Undead Scourge .
“Hence, the mainland started to kill Spirit Casters . More and more of them were killed – their hands were dirty and there was nothing for them to say during their hearing . Some Spirit Casters chose to hide themselves away . After over tens of thousands of years, there are probably not many left now . ”
“Are you a Spirit Caster?” Lu Li was surprised .
You couldn’t tell at all, but this quest’s NPC was actually a hidden professional .
Dawn didn’t have any hidden professions or hidden missions . But if Demitrian had a hidden profession, it seemed that it had disappeared over time .

“Yes, I am a Spirit Caster, and also a Warlock,” Demitrian admitted .
“Azerothrian Lu, are there many Spirit Casters like you?” Lu Li was very curious . He had lived two lives already, and up to this point in this life, he had never even heard of the term ‘Spirit Caster’ .
“There used to be a lot, but a lot of them have died . Like me they always hoped to live as enslaved but powerful beings,” Demitrian said .
“Stuff this, this would be faster than suicide! No wonder all the Spirit Casters are dead,” Azure Sea Breeze exclaimed .
“But did you guys know a Spirit Caster’s lifelong pursuit?” Demitrian paused .
“It seems like everyone was thinking about ways to grow stronger,” Lu Li replied .
“No, it was to create the real Demi-God and Magical item . Not these fakes and low quality equipment that you have in your hands,” Demitrian proudly said, “Why should only demi-gods or even greater beings be allowed to create Demi-God and Magical items?”
“To seal in strong spirits that made equipment live . Spirit Casters firmly believe that this is the only way to forge Magical objects,” Demitrian rambled passionately .
“Then, can the one you make now become a Magical object? I mean we’ve put in Thunderaan’s soul . I’ve heard that he could even defeat Ragnaros and Sargeras,” Azure Sea Breeze was already daydreaming .
“I hope more than you for it to turn into a Magical object . Pray, children, Demitrian spoke gently .
Lu Li focused on watching Demitrian forge weapons . He could help a bit occasionally, but he was destined to disappoint, because this observation wasn’t enough for him to learn the mystery of Spirit Casting . He couldn’t understand how you could seal a spirit into a weapon . Even if it was a game, it should still follow the logic of the system .
“I knew there was an equipment that can absorb a certain spirit and grow even stronger and powerful . Was that equipment within the realms of the Spirit Casting?” Lu Li brought out the Book of Ur from his backpack . This equipment was already at maximum level but had become a broken equipment .
He had been holding on to this equipment . Sometimes he will let out Silly Husky from the book .
“This is a wise spirit . It still has his sanity,” Demitrian saw the wolf spirit that had been let out . His eyes was full of both shock and empathy .
