Honorary Truth

If Shaping Crown's shock could still be dismissed by the other Crowns as an act, then Alchemy Crown's shock, as Shaping Crown's rival, carried extraordinary significance.

"What is so special about this furnace?"

The same thought flashed through the minds of the other Crowns.

Alchemy Crown examined the Gold Pattern Furnace again and again before finally returning it to Shaping Crown.

"I cannot make sense of it, but without a doubt, it is an exquisite treasure."

Shaping Crown casually passed the furnace to Soul Crown beside him, then said to Richard, "Richard, introduce it."

Richard nodded slightly and began explaining the furnace's origins.

However, Richard had altered part of that origin story, concealing the furnace's purification function.

The more Richard learned about the Miracle Furnace, the more he understood its value. Before he possessed sufficient strength, he was unwilling to gamble.

"In other words, this thing can fuse rules, so long as the two rules can be fused," Alchemy Crown said slowly.

"Yes, Your Excellency is correct."

Upon receiving Richard's confirmation, Alchemy Crown's avatar suddenly froze for an instant.

Then he slowly said, "A fine thing indeed. With this furnace alone, countless great wizards will owe you a favor."

Fusing rules was a complex and arduous process. The hardships involved could not be made clear in a sentence or two.

Yet this furnace could assist in fusing rules. Even if the cost was considerable, it was still important enough.

By bringing out this furnace, Richard clearly had no intention of hoarding it. Instead, he intended to make it a public tool of Wizard Civilization, a bargaining chip for exchanging shares of Wizard Dimension's power.

Richard gave a slight bow. "I have merely contributed my own small share to civilization."

"What else do you have, Richard? Bring it all out together."
