Iron Tree Spark House.
I don't know how long it has passed, at least no one of the hill dwarves has time to count, and their minds are all immersed in the figure wielding the hammer, including the most heroic king of the hill dwarves.
After all, the first lesson a hill dwarf learned was forging.
Until, a knife lay quietly on the forging table.
It doesn’t have the bright color of the main material, Shining Silver Iron itself, nor does it have a special shape or pattern. It looks like a broad knife with a dark color and an unattractive appearance. Let alone a dwarf, you can make it at any human blacksmith shop. come out.
By the way, there is also a problem with the size, it seems to be a bit short, of course, this "short" is equivalent to human beings.
There was a trace of exhaustion on Chen Rui's face. The energy spent in casting this knife was far beyond his imagination, and it was far more than ordinary equipment, but his mood at this moment was unprecedentedly excited.
As a proficient master of the three systems, after going through various learning practices (including the super system refining room linked by time rules) and the teachings of Tetnis, his artifice has reached a bottleneck stage. Unexpectedly Today, in the underground forging world of the hill dwarves, I actually got some kind of breakthrough insight.
Although this knife is simple and unpretentious, it reveals a kind of spirituality that was not found in Chen Rui's works before. This unique spirituality contains the unique perception and state of mind of the creator in a specific environment and moment.
This also determines the uniqueness of this knife. Even if Chen Rui succeeds in forging a knife with the same appearance again, it will not have exactly the same attributes.
The most important thing is that a weapon of this quality is no longer an ordinary legendary level!
"His Royal Highness Ofuge, the wise master of the hill dwarves, I don't know if this 'Soul Slayer' can prove what I want to prove?" Chen Rui walked down the forging platform with the knife in his hand. Elder Arcas He took a few steps forward, carefully took it with both hands, bent down, and bowed his head to Chen Rui, showing a special respect.
Even if you don't look at the specific attributes of this knife, as a senior forging master, Elder Akas's etiquette can already explain everything. The dwarf craftsmen also bowed their heads to Chen Rui and stared straight at Akas The knife in his hand was full of fanaticism.
"Your Highness," Arcas raised the "Soul Slayer" in front of the Dwarf King with both hands, "As a hill dwarf and as a forger, I am honored to be able to witness the birth of an epic piece of equipment with my own eyes."
Soul Slayer - Extra Strong, Increases Swing Power, Doubles Open Wounds, Chance to Double Strike.
Additional attribute "faith": The stronger the will of the holder, the greater the power, which can cause additional damage to the soul of the enemy.
Obviously, the quality of this soul slayer has surpassed the legendary level, and it can be classified as an epic level, which is the level of quasi-artifact and artifact. This also means that its maker has surpassed the realm of master level!
Or this knife is not as good as the quasi-sacred tools produced by super systems such as Beiming and Leiyin, but it has broken away from the refining and time rules of the super system from beginning to end, and is completely made by Chen Rui himself. A piece of epic equipment has great significance.
"Epic... This is also my honor." The dwarf king looked at the seemingly ordinary broadsword, showing awe, and bowed his head slightly to Chen Rui: "From the perspective of actual value, those equipment plus the blueprint , can’t compare to this epic weapon. More importantly, I shouldn’t question a blacksmith who is at least at the quasi-grandmaster level, please accept my apology and rudeness, Your Excellency.”
Chen Rui smiled slightly: "It's okay, this matter is a misunderstanding. My real name is Chen Rui, and I'm not even a quasi-grandmaster. I just made this piece of equipment after being inspired by the 'House of Iron Tree Sparks'. , I just found a subtle feeling that I might break through to the master level. I hope...His Royal Highness Oufuge can accept this gift of friendship from me."
"Chen Rui"'s real name is unknown in the ground world, so he did not hide it, and his tone is more frank.
Oufuge's eyes lit up, he fondled "Soul Slayer" fondly, and said happily: "I accept your kindness and gift, and at the same time, I will hold a banquet in the palace for three days to entertain the human friends of the hill dwarves."
Chen Rui shook his head: "I appreciate His Highness's kindness, but I have a very urgent matter this time and need to rush to Garden City, so I chose the shortcut of Heiyan Mountain. I only hope to get His Highness's permission and arrive as soon as possible." Destination. When my business is done, I will come with the best wine, and have a good drink with my hill dwarf friends!"
The king of dwarves showed a hearty smile, and was about to agree, Elder Akas stepped forward and whispered something in a low voice.
Ofge frowned, seemed to be hesitant, and finally said: "Human friend of the hill dwarves, there is one thing I would like to ask you about the theft. In fact, the equipment stolen this time was not It's nothing, but that blueprint is very important. It is a relic of Lord Rick, the late forging master of the hill dwarves, but it is of great significance to the dwarves. I would like to ask you to help pay attention to relevant clues in the human world. "
Chen Rui pondered for a while, and agreed: "Okay, tell me the characteristics of the drawing, and I will try my best to track down this matter and strive to return it to the original owner as soon as possible."
Oufuge nodded, took out a badge and handed it to Chen Rui: "That blueprint is actually the result of joint research between Grandmaster Rick and Fenoa, the elf master of the Emerald Forest, and it seems to be part of some kind of design. The previous king When he was in power, the envoy of the elves once specifically mentioned this matter. He wanted to get this blueprint. Due to various considerations, the former king did not agree at that time, which caused the relationship between the hill dwarves and the elves to be bad. If you can get back the blueprint , You don’t have to return the hill dwarves, you can take this green badge into the Emerald Forest, hand over the blueprint to Grandmaster Fenoa, and pass on the friendship of the hill dwarves for me, I believe you will also get extra rewards from Grandmaster Fenoa. "
In addition to recovering the blueprints, you also want to play a guest role as a diplomatic envoy? The king of the dwarves is not polite at all, but Chen Rui, the master craftsman of the elves, is a little interested, because his teacher Tetnis will have a life-and-death battle with a master-level opponent in less than a year. Compared with fighting, it can be said that there is more bad luck than good luck. If Chen Rui can get the guidance of a master and convey it to Tetniss, it may greatly increase the hope of the teacher's survival. So if conditions permit, you might as well go to the Emerald Forest. Of course, the blueprint must first be recovered.
"Okay, I'll remember." Chen Rui took the leaf-shaped badge with a faint natural atmosphere, "By the way, those mercenaries outside don't know my real name and skills, so please keep it a secret, Your Highness."
Oufuge nodded without thinking: "Don't worry, I can guarantee that the hill dwarves will not reveal any secrets related to the human friend Chen Rui. I will personally send you away from Heiyan Mountain. At the same time, I look forward to reuniting with my friends." The day you drink."
The turmoil of the hill dwarves finally subsided. In order to avoid the suspicion of Fatty and the others, Chen Rui declined the kindness of Oufuge's personal escort. After a short rest, he went on the road with everyone. It was noon the next day.
Although the king of the dwarves did not send them off in person, he still sent an army of giant shield warriors to escort them in the name of surveillance. After a day and a night, they were sent all the way out of the Black Rock Mountain area.
Looking down from the hillside, through the thin smog of the morning sun, one could already see the avenue leading to Garton City. There were vague figures of people and carriages, and happy expressions appeared on everyone's faces. Even Chen Rui is no exception.
This time, not only did he pass through Heiyan Mountain safely, but also he got a new breakthrough in the realm of making tools by chance, which can be regarded as an unexpected harvest.
If the strength of the hill dwarves is only at the level seen on the surface, then it is not impossible for Chen Rui to break through the thick earth castle by force, but this time he went to Garton City to use Mana's plan to steal the faith In order to save Isabella's plan, he must not easily expose his power.
The green badge presented by Oufuge also reminded Chen Rui that if it is too late to save up the "travel expenses" of one million faith crystals, he can consider using Samuel's method of going to the devil world to find a certain elf master, which will cost a lot At the price of opening the space, randomly appear in a certain place in the Demon Realm, and then return to Isabella through the gate of the starry sky.
However, this method is quite risky. Once it falls into the turbulent flow of space, it will be smashed to pieces, and it must not be tried lightly unless it is absolutely necessary. More importantly, since the Dark Elemental King is trapped in the Tower of Destruction on the seabed, it may be too late to find Hegel to save Isabella in terms of time. Still have to go to Guangming Sacred Mountain to get the Snow Dalai Flower.
"Finally, I have escaped from the surveillance of the dwarf army. Those fierce dwarves have made me dare not say a word all day and night. Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. My dearest friend Li Cha, what are you doing?" What method did you use to convince those stubborn dwarves?" Fatty's voice interrupted Chen Rui's thoughts, and at this time everyone had already walked on the avenue, and according to Yi Na, it would take about two hours to reach Garton City.
Chen Rui looked at the mercenaries who were also staring at him curiously, and smiled slightly: "It's like this, I exerted the powerful strength that I have been hiding all along, forged an epic weapon, and convinced the king of dwarves, so he Let us go, and send someone to escort us here."
As soon as these words came out, there were contemptuous gazes all around, and even his loyal follower Samuel showed disbelief, Chen Rui sighed, why is the truth always so unrecognized
"Well, the method is actually very simple. Let me ask you, is a person richer than the owner a thief?" Chen Rui smiled wryly, "I just took out some money that can prove my identity and wealth." Things, and then paid the price to satisfy those dwarves, so we can leave Black Rock Mountain safely. But just in case, the king of dwarves sent an army to monitor all the way... "
"Prove your identity and wealth?" Yi Na showed suspicious eyes, "Are you sure you have nothing to do with this theft? Who are you?"
Chen Rui's tone changed, and he said coldly: "Women's suspicions should not be placed on this aspect! What's more, it was your suggestion to take the Black Rock Mountain route. Didn't the black-bearded dwarf say that? Your father is a thief! I haven't doubted you cowardly and incompetent fellows yet!"
This sentence immediately aroused the indignation of the mercenaries, especially Samuel, who was full of murderous looks: "Say it again? Who is the cowardly and incompetent guy? Apologize to Yi Na immediately!"
"Did I say something wrong?" Chen Rui sneered contemptuously, and looked straight at Samuel without hesitation, "As an employer, I have no obligation to explain to you, let alone apologize! I want to question now You Iron Shield mercenary group, counting the time of the poisonous snake, I saved you for the second time. Are you protecting me or I protecting you? I don’t think my friend Mana needs to pay you double the reward and Compensation!"
Samuel's eyes became sharper and he was about to explode when Yi Na stopped him. The head of the female group obviously suppressed her anger, and said to Chen Rui: "As a reputable mercenary group, we have not given up protection even in the most dangerous situation, and there have been casualties. As for the salary, Ma Lord Na promised us with his own mouth, and now that he is about to reach Garton City safely, how can he go back on his word?"
The fat man wanted to save more money, so he jumped out and said, "At the beginning I did promise ten times the salary and compensation for casualties, but Li Cha was right. Economic loss, as mercenaries protecting their employers, why do you want ten times the salary and compensation? I can justify this matter even if it comes to the mercenary union!"
The mercenaries all showed anger, and they were about to turn their backs. In the end, the fat man turned his head quickly, thinking that the Dagger Brotherhood would probably have another assassination, and agreed to pay Yi Na double commission and a certain amount of compensation. The matter died down.
Looking at the back of Chen Rui walking in front, Samuel's clenched fists trembled slightly, Yi Na gave a few words of comfort, seeing that his excitement had eased, she just gave up.
In fact, the female leader didn't know the real reason for Samuel's anger and excitement.
The conflict just now was a play he had colluded with "His Royal Highness".
Although "His Royal Highness" did not explain, but only asked him to execute it in an orderly tone, Samuel could guess that "His Royal Highness" was going to complete one thing alone, which was a very dangerous thing, so it was necessary to separate the relationship with him , so as not to get involved.
As a subject, as a loyal follower, he can only watch helplessly. The only thing he can do is to stay out of it and avoid becoming a burden.
Be sure to become stronger as soon as possible! For Joyner! Also for the back of that lonely walking in the morning light!
The Silver Knight took a deep breath, his eyes became firmer.
