In the Crystal Valley, Chen Rui has been in the laboratory for the past two days. Since he has the title of a genius master craftsman, he has to put on a show. Sure enough, Manu did not break his promise. The laboratory specially provided for him was built on a hillside, and there was a residence under the hillside, which was quiet and undisturbed.
This laboratory has a large area, and the conditions are better than those of the Toolmaker Alliance, with all the materials and facilities available. Under Chen Rui's special request, the originally assigned assistant was sent back. Regardless of whether the assistant's purpose was to assist or monitor, he didn't want to have a few more pairs of eyes by his side.
Many master craftsmen have secrets that cannot be passed on, and only the closest and most trusted apprentices can be taught, so Chen Rui's request is not outrageous, and Manu naturally will not be reluctant, and sent a large number of them according to his request Ordinary materials for him to "experiment" refining technology.
Chen Rui's real purpose for these ordinary materials is naturally not "refining", but to transform aura and buy the blueprint of "Leiyin". Putting the material in the refining room and turning it around can blind those people's eyes.
Chen Rui didn't take Jie Wang Guo, because the power of Jie Wang Guo is very powerful, and needs a quiet and undisturbed environment, and these two days are the deadline for the "artifact" promised by Manu, and we may see you at any time I met a long-lost "old friend", so Chen Rui planned to try the king fruit after he got the artifact.
At this time, a maid came to the laboratory and told him that Manu had something to call.
Chen Rui came out of the laboratory and followed the maid to the central courtyard of Nightmare Valley, where Manu was.
Before he reached the hall, with his hearing, he could hear voices from a distance, to be precise, the voice of shouting, Manu's voice.
"What I want to remind you is that even if you have the strongest nightmare pupils and are the son of the previous king, you are still only the peak of the Demon Emperor! The Demon Realm respects power, and I, Manu Leviathan, Jealous of the current highest controller of the royal family!" Manu's voice was cold and even murderous, completely different from the image of an old fox who usually smiles, but foxes are also carnivorous animals, and foxes in the demon world are cunning and cruel, and they like to gnaw their prey into pieces. Not even a bone left.
"Master Manu, please forgive me for being rude!" This voice was more familiar to Chen Rui's ears, "Since you are the supreme controller of the Leviathan royal family, you should understand the meaning of the seven artifacts, and the magic shield was left by my father. Give it to me, I don't agree to just hand it over to an outsider for research!"
"So what if it was left to you by your father?" Manu sneered, "Have you been approved by the magic shield? Your sister is the one who is approved by the magic shield! Don't think I don't know what you think of Dilly. Those things that Ya did! Even she is missing now, that is, the author of the artifact has disappeared, this alone is enough for me to punish you!"
These few conversations made Chen Rui's heart move. Since Delia was usually reluctant to mention Bai Luo's affairs, he didn't ask any more questions. Only now did he know that Bai Luo and Delia's father turned out to be the son of the previous Leviathan. King, and this Manu is the current controller.
Since Delia was approved by the magic shield, Bai Luo has always taken the magic shield as his own, and has always regarded himself as the next controller of Leviathan. Now that Delia is "missing", she is unwilling to hand over the magic shield. It is likely that Manu or others will be recognized by the magic shield. It seems that getting the magic shield will further intensify the internal conflicts of the Leviathan royal family. , It really kills two birds with one stone.
At this time, the maid brought Chen Rui to the entrance of the hall and informed Manu that the quarrel inside stopped.
After Chen Rui got the permission to enter, he walked into the hall. There were two people in the hall. Sure enough, besides Manu, the other was Chen Rui's "old acquaintance", Bai Luo, the head of the three generals of the Shadow Empire. Leviathan.
Manu returned to his usual smiling face, but Bai Luo's face was still gloomy.
"Master, you're here," Manu said with a smile, "I'm here to introduce you. This is my...nephew, named Bai Luo, the head of the three generals of the Shadow Empire. Bai Luo, this one is named Demon Realm." The master of the three lines, the genius of the magic circle, Master Arthur."
Chen Rui heard that Manu deliberately revealed Bai Luo's identity to him, nodded casually, and shook his head with disapproval on the surface: "Master Manu, I don't care about generals, what I care about is artifacts, I just heard your words In the voice, it was mentioned that the artifact is on your nephew, so... give it to me quickly. I have been thinking about Master Crystal Dragon's magic circle for the past two days, and I seem to have some clues, and I need the Magic Shield as a reference."
This kind of rudeness and ignorance made Bai Luo's eyes flash cold. He sized Chen Rui up a few times, and suddenly frowned and said, "I don't know why, the master gave me a familiar feeling. Have we met somewhere?"
Not only have I seen it, but I have also "touched" it intimately. The pockmarks on your face were fixed by my brother.
Of course, Chen Rui could only murmur these words in his heart, but his expression was a little impatient: "I've heard this kind of thing a lot, the last time the third general Kafu met was the same way, General Bai Luo, the artifact I want Did you bring it?"
"Of course I brought it, Bai Luo, now give the artifact to the master." It was Manu who answered, the hostility on Bai Luo's face was fleeting, looking at the smiling Manu, he felt even more resentful. The old fox thought he had something important to call him from the border fortress, but unexpectedly it was for the magic shield, but Bai Luo knew Manu's character well, the bigger the smile, the more dangerous it was, if he didn't leave the magic shield today, I'm afraid they will turn their backs. Given the strength gap between the two sides, the magic shield still cannot be held.
In fact, it is nothing to give Master Arthur a detailed reference. If he can use this to win over, Bai Luo is also willing to use this bargaining chip. After all, it is impossible for people other than the Leviathan royal family to use the artifact, but it is obvious that Arthur has already taken refuge in Manu, and this artifact Even if the research value is lost, Manu will definitely not return it.
A hero does not suffer from the immediate disadvantages. Now he is not as skilled as others, so he can only succumb. In the future, if his strength surpasses Manu...
Bai Luo thought about it, and finally made the decision to compromise. He took out a round shield from behind and handed it to Chen Rui. Chen Rui smiled happily and took it.
This round shield is bigger than the phantom shield in Delia's hand. It is dark gold in color and has simple and elegant patterns. The undecorated part in the center should be the part that can be integrated with the phantom shield.
The magic shield is the most defensive equipment among the seven artifacts. It can not only defend against all physical and magical attacks, but also rebound damage. It can be called the best armor. Chen Rui had seen the power of this large shield outside the treasure of the poisonous dragon in the Youye Wetland. At that time, a lightning inscription that was comparable to the peak power of the Demon Emperor was completely blocked by Bai Luo holding the round shield under full force. Bai Luo didn't get the approval of the artifact, but only used the defensive power of the material of the magic shield itself!
Chen Rui caressed the pattern on it like a treasure, and suddenly frowned: "No, how could this be! Is this the magic shield? Why does it feel like an important part is missing?"
"The master really has extraordinary eyesight, and he can see the problem with the artifact at a glance." Manu nodded and said: "The magic shield is divided into two parts, the magic shield and the magic shield. This is the magic shield. As for the magic shield, it was created thousands of years ago. It’s gone, and my Leviathan family is also trying my best to find it, but it hasn’t disappeared yet.”
It seems that Bai Luo did not disclose the matter of the phantom shield in the Youye Wetland and the real reason for Delia's disappearance. Chen Rui showed dissatisfaction on his face: "Master Manu, I voluntarily accepted the spiritual shackles in order to study the artifact. Now this artifact is incomplete, does it violate the original promise of your lord?"
"Master, don't be angry," Manu said with a smile: "In any case, the magic shield is one of the seven artifacts, and the seven artifacts are not only the magic shield, but also the other six pieces. As long as our plan can be successful in the future, all seven pieces will be It’s no problem to bring the artifacts to the master for research.”
Seven artifacts? What a big ambition! Chen Rui pondered for a while, then said: "I'm just a craftsman who pursues the peak realm, and I don't care about other things, how about this... When will Lord Azgallo come back? I hope the Lord can help me to borrow from him. God mask details?"
"Azgalo has important business outside, and he will definitely not be able to return in the near future," Manu pondered slightly, "Well, when he comes back, I'll ask for you."
Manu's words obviously meant procrastination and perfunctory, but he didn't know that the God Eater Mask was in Chen Rui's hands. These words were meant to test Azgallo's movements. Manu's answer had already revealed that Azgallo's short-term Chen Rui knew the news that he couldn't return to Crystal Valley within a few days, so he naturally accepted it as soon as it was good.
Chen Rui's eyes fell on the long sword on Bai Luo's waist, and he couldn't move it away: "General, this sword seems weird, can you show me?"
Bai Luo didn't expect this greedy guy to take the magic shield and it wasn't enough, he actually turned his attention to his favorite sword, his eyes flashed brightly, and the long sword was unsheathed instantly with a "clang", but it didn't make a mistake in the end, just He put the sword in front of Chen Rui's face with an unkind expression.
The more unhappy Bai Luo was, the happier Chen Rui felt. Unfortunately, both Manu and Bai Luo were scheming people, otherwise it would be great if he could use Manu's hand to kill Bai Luo.
"Blood River." Chen Rui glanced at the name engraved on the blood-red sword and nodded: "It's really a good sword! Although it has not yet reached the legendary level, its attributes are already quite good. The attack speed is increased by 35%, and the water element The power of magic is increased by 38%, and the life force lost by devouring the enemy is converted into its own physical strength."
Bai Luo showed a slight look of surprise. Appraisal is one of the skills of a master craftsman, but it usually requires corresponding instrument tests to confirm it. However, this Arthur accurately stated the attributes of Blood River with just a glance, including the The hidden characteristic of devouring the life of the enemy, it seems that the first genius in the devil world really lives up to his reputation.
Of course, Chen Rui would not say that it was the effect of the Analytical Eye, touched the body of the sword, closed his eyes and pretended to feel it for a while, showing regret: "The sword is a good sword, unfortunately, I'm afraid it won't last long. "
Bai Luo was taken aback, and asked suspiciously, "Why did Master say that?"
"Our toolmakers have a saying that manufacturing equipment is creating life. Equipment is also alive. Due to the relationship between materials and characteristics, general equipment has a certain degree of self-healing ability, just like a person who has been slightly injured. It’s the same. The problem is that your sword is no longer slightly injured. You can’t see this state, and it’s hard for other master craftsmen to judge, but it can’t be hidden from my gifted eyes. I can clearly feel it. There are countless scars left, if this continues, the sword will be completely shattered when it encounters a certain intensity of pressure or is injected with too much power."
Chen Rui's identity is a well-known master craftsman in the Demon Realm, and he showed his "thaumaturgy identification" just now, so Bai Luo naturally couldn't ignore these words. "Blood River" is his most convenient weapon, and its attributes are quite suitable for him. Now that he hears that it is in danger of being scrapped, he dare not neglect it, and his tone has softened: "Since Master can see it, I don't know if there is a repair way?"
Chen Rui pretended to be contemplative: "There is a way, but there is no absolute certainty. If it succeeds, the attributes of this sword may be further improved. As long as the general trusts me, I can give it a try. It can be regarded as taking the general's magic shield." It's a kind of payment for research."
Bai Luo secretly thought that the magic shield could not be retrieved for the time being anyway, if the "Blood River" could be repaired, it could barely offset some losses, so he nodded immediately and said: "I trust the master, I will entrust the sword to the master."
"Okay, let me think about it first... In terms of materials, I have them in my current laboratory," Chen Rui thought for a moment, then nodded: "Then, come with me."
Manu wanted to see the skills of this genius master in the crafting world, and immediately followed Bai Luo and Chen Rui to the laboratory on the hillside.
Chen Rui took out the tools he needed and the materials sent by others, sorted them out one by one, and his rigorous and serious expression made people awe-inspiring. After turning on the magic furnace to reach the required temperature, Chen Rui did not Politely put the "Blood River" in and calcined it until it turned red, took it out with pliers, and then hit it with a sledgehammer. The hammering method of opening and closing contains a mysterious meaning, as if Seeing the artistic dance, Manu nodded secretly, but the sparks splashed by the sledgehammer on the river of blood made Bai Luo secretly feel distressed.
While knocking, Chen Rui sprinkled a kind of magic powder, and the whole long sword made a strange sizzling sound, followed by a series of smooth and smooth movements and processes. The complex process that originally required the cooperation of several people to complete, was actually perfectly completed by one person. Finish.
In addition to re-forging, even the gems on the hilt were dug out and polished, and the details were handled meticulously. After about three hours, Chen Rui finally stopped all work, wiped the sweat from his head, and tossed the sword for a long time. Handed the long sword to Bai Luo: "Fortunately, the general did not disappoint. This sword not only repaired the original damage, but also increased its attributes. Now the attack speed is increased by 38%, the power of water magic is increased by 40%, and it can devour the enemy." The loss of vitality is transformed into its own physical strength. It also comes with a bloodthirsty magic, which can increase the attack by 20%, but the defense will be weakened by 10%. It can only be used once a day. This equipment should be almost close to the legendary level. .”
Bai Luo was overjoyed. He took the sword and saw that the blood flow on it seemed to be more active. He was very familiar with this sword. After swinging it a few times, he really felt that the attack speed increased. He tried the bloodthirsty technique again and was full of praise. If there was a bit of murderous intent towards this "Arthur" master at first, but now it has become an appreciation. This talent is for his own use.
Chen Rui accepted Bai Luo's thanks and praise calmly. The highest level of cheating was that after he sold him, he still counted the money for you with a grateful face.
Originally, this poor sword was nothing more than a "minor injury" that could heal itself, but now it has become a truly incurable serious injury. As for the improvement of attributes... I have never heard of a "return to light" before the vitality is overdrawn. what
