Wedge Stone Disc

"What is this?"

Hervey held up—no, he should say he was carrying—the huge stone slab that had suddenly fallen from the sky, looking completely bewildered.

This thing called the Wedge Stone Disc is bigger than his body!

When that thing fell from the sky, a small horn hit him on the head, almost knocking him unconscious on the spot. Luckily, a group of Choking Dragon Fang rushed out from the side and blocked it.

He looked down and saw that the Dragon Scale that had rushed out to protect him had shattered into pieces all over the ground.

"Ghrū."

The sound of swallowing saliva could be clearly heard in the pitch-black space, filled with the lingering fear of the person involved.

If the Choking Dragon Fang, he probably wouldn't have just fainted on the spot; his head would likely have been smashed open and shattered into a bloody mess.

"Getting crushed to death by dungeon loot sounds too tacky."

Hervey sighed and shook his head, trying to lift the Wedge Stone Disc to examine it more closely, but he couldn't move it much even with great effort.

"It's so heavy! Much heavier than it looks."

He then used the Choking Dragon Fang to help him prop up the Wedge Stone Disc, which was as big as his body, against the wall. By then, sweat was dripping from his forehead.

This thing is definitely not ordinary! You can tell just by the feel of it!

The Wedge Stone Disc is a large, heavy stone slab covered with runes of unknown meaning. It looks as if it has been chiseled and cut, as if it was smashed down from some larger object.

The Wedge Stone Disc and the wedge-shaped stone fragment. Such similar names, even if you said there was no connection between the two, no idiot would believe it.

Hervey pulled out his Hunting Handbook, which he had kept as a souvenir, and sure enough, the latest page contained a record of the Wedge Stone Disc.

[Wedge Stone Disc]

The raw materials used by craftsmen to enhance weapons are legendary items possessed by the gods. These materials can forge weapons to an unparalleled state of perfection, awakening the weapon's full power.

The Original Discs are the forging materials of the gods, and weapons forged using Original Discs can be compared with a limited number of legendary weapons, their power being enough to slay gods.

"Hiss."

His movements as he flipped through the Hunting Handbook stopped at that moment, his gaze fixed on the pages as if he had licked an icy railing in winter, reading the words written on them over and over again.

For a fleeting moment, he even wondered if there was something wrong with his reading comprehension skills; otherwise, otherwise...

"Why would a treasure of this caliber appear here?!"

Hervey finally couldn't contain his surprise and shouted out loud. His voice pierced through the dissipating Fog Gate and reached high into the sky.

"Huff, huff"

He was breathing heavily, and he could hear his own breathing becoming like that of a wild beast. If he were left in Yanan, he would turn into a beast in no time.

He knew that the item descriptions in the Zane Dungeon were never exaggerated; for example, the Stink Bomb was said to be able to repel powerful dragons, and it really was. The Wedge Stone Disc in front of him...

That would be an incredibly powerful enhancement material!

Incredible! This must be a material of the Golden Light level, on par with the Sun's Eldest Son Ring.

He couldn't believe that this was something he could obtain simply by coming to the dungeon and completing his work!

"Something's not right," he shook his head, still looking incredulous, pacing back and forth in the vicinity while muttering to himself.

"Shouldn't materials of this caliber go through a process? First, an adventurer would accidentally discover the possibility of obtaining this item, then spread the information, attracting the combined efforts of countless adventurers, and finally, after a fierce battle with the powerful guardian beast protecting the treasure, they would narrowly win. Why is it in the hands of the Asylum Demon?!"

Although the Asylum Demon underground is indeed very strong, I really can't defeat it without weapons. At least a team of experienced adventurers of Silver Rank or above would be needed to defeat it.

But it doesn't seem right to put such a high-level treasure on it!

"Could it be that I'm actually incredibly lucky?"

The Wedge Stone Disc should be a random drop from the Zane Dungeon, right?

It would be too beneath us to make this level of material a guaranteed drop after defeating the Asylum Demon; that would be beneath us.

No matter how shocked or incredulous he was, he now knew one thing that was a foregone conclusion.

"I've obtained the Wedge Stone Disc!"

Wedge-shaped stone fragments, large wedge-shaped stone fragments, wedge-shaped stone blocks.

Adventurers noticed early on that all the weapon enhancement materials produced in the Zane Dungeon were of the same kind, differing only in shape and size.

In other words, the larger and more complete the wedge stone, the stronger its strengthening effect. Therefore, people have always speculated that the most complete wedge stone is the strongest strengthening material.

This hypothesis has now been verified; it appears that the most complete Wedge Stone Disc is the strongest enhancement material!

Hervey held the cold stone, stroking its surface with the same tenderness he would show to the most beautiful human being in the world. If it weren't for the dust on its surface, he would have kissed it.

He only came to his senses when his palms were worn raw by the uneven surface of the Wedge Stone Disc. He then excitedly hoisted the heavy stone onto his back and climbed lightly and cheerfully toward the top of the giant pit.

"What kind of weapon should we upgrade? It certainly can't be an ordinary weapon; it has to be at least the level of the Artorias Greatsword."

"Weapons? What a pity. After experimentation, neither wedge stone nor Forging Stone can be used on weapons. Otherwise, I would really like to see if you could become stronger, old friend."

"Does our church have any powerful weapons? Hmm, I don't think so. Should I go and participate in a Battle Festival now? I'll risk my life to snatch Starscourge General's Greatsword!"

Hervey was completely absorbed in imagining the future. He was thinking about how wonderful it would be if he could get the spear of the Sun's Eldest Son. He would definitely be able to kill gods and demons.

He made a special trip back to the Undead Asylum and scavenged some worthless junk in order to cover up the Wedge Stone Disc.

Although their Sparkfire Church currently maintains a cooperative relationship with other churches, even the most indifferent person can tell that if the Rebel Army win, this fragile alliance will immediately crumble.

When that happens, the churches in the alliance will surely fight each other to seize the positions left by the Three Great Churches. It will really be a battle royale, and the church that survives to the end will be the ultimate winner.

Therefore, he absolutely had to keep the matter of the Wedge Stone Disc a secret and only tell trusted people in the church!

Before catching the giant bird and returning to Firelink Shrine, and before leaving the Zane Dungeon, he glanced back at the Zane Dungeon.

"This is truly a treasure trove containing countless riches; I will never forget coming here in my lifetime!"

Very well, just because of his words, the Zane Dungeon automatically increased the drop rate of white and higher level light points for him slightly, and he couldn't possibly notice such a change.

Treat those who love the Zane Dungeon well, so that they can smile – this was a setting that Gong Qiying had written long ago.

Since adventurers love the Zane Dungeon so much, he'll naturally treat them better.

Otherwise, are we supposed to think that since these adventurers like the Zane Dungeon anyway, we don't need to worry about them not coming, so we should cut back on their rewards and use those resources to give big rewards to unfamiliar people who only come a few times in an attempt to expand our circle?

Don't joke around, Gong Qiying likes to treat "his own people" well the most.

Not long after.

Hervey successfully used his speed to return to the camp without being detected by anyone.

It was called a camp, but it was actually a temporary residence built with magic. Each church had its own residence. The Golden Church, which had only just arrived, was building a house, and the area was noisy.

As soon as Hervey returned, he covered his room with Dragon Scale to make it soundproof, and used a magic tool for remote communication to tell the bishops who were far away what had happened.

This magical item was brought by the Starfire Knight previously cast the Imitation Eternal Darkness. He was Reinforcement of the Army from the Arnor Kingdom. There are quite a few people like him, but most of them are at the Rebel Army headquarters.

"Your Excellency, do we have any legendary weapons? I can't wait to upgrade them."

"Hervey, you seem to have forgotten a very important question."

Archbishop Jenoson, far away in the Arnor Kingdom, sighed and said earnestly:

"Where exactly should you look for a blacksmith who can use the Wedge Stone Disc?"

"."

Hervey was stunned; his enthusiasm was suddenly dampened.

A vast amount of information was arranged and combined in his mind, eventually forming a formula.

To enhance his weapon using the Wedge Stone Disc, he needs to find a blacksmith who can use it—known blacksmiths are in the Forest Area or the Academy Gate Town —he must find a way to get to those old areas.

The moment he grasped this equation, a burning passion for exploration and discovery rekindled within Hervey.

"I'm going to turn the entire Zane Dungeon upside down!"

And so, the Sparkfire Church became completely immersed in the Zane Dungeon.

And not too far from here, in the city where the Holy Light Church has set up its command post on this front.

The Holy Light Knight and their companions finally returned here.
