The old man in black said helplessly: "I am already old. Although my skills have become more exquisite with experience, my physical strength is no longer enough. I don't have the energy to collect good materials. What good things can I make? Speaking of which, my whole life The most proud work in the series is the Zhengyang with fire magic power for you. Unfortunately, in this life, I only made that one satisfactory knife. Since you want to see it, then follow along. It’s okay to just choose a handle for your fat apprentice to collect goods first.” After speaking, he turned and walked to the room behind the counter.
Nian Bing and Cha Ji walked around the counter and followed the old man in black into the room. As soon as they entered the door, Nian Bing felt dizzy again in his brain. He, who practiced ice magic, couldn't bear it, and subconsciously touched the gemstone in his arms.
Cha Ji exclaimed: "It's so murderous, it's worthy of being the number one caster in the mainland."
The old man in black went to the cabinet next to him, opened the door, and said, "These seven knives are the only ones I have left. You can choose according to your needs. I'll give you a hundred for the price."
There are seven sheathless knives hanging in the cabinet, each of which has a different style. Under the illumination of the oil lamp, the cold light radiates, and a faint coldness sweeps in. The luster is so simple and unsophisticated that you can't find a trace of flaws when you look at it suddenly. As soon as the cabinet door was opened, Nian Bing's eyes subconsciously fell on the leftmost knife, staring at it for a moment. That knife was the most inconspicuous and shortest of all the seven knives. Under the light of the oil lamp, only it has no glossy reflection, the blade is dim, about one foot and two inches long, the handle is five inches long, and the whole body is black. Two inches, the back of the knife looks very thick. The reason why Nian Bing was attracted to it was entirely because of the breath, it was a feeling from the heart, as if this knife should have been his, and the chill of the Ice and Snow Goddess Stone became more intense, as if calling Seems like something.
Nian Bing walked towards the cabinet step by step with dull eyes. Cha Ji was about to hold him, but was stopped by the old man in black, "After all, it is the knife he uses, let him choose. Well, it seems that this kid's knife Sex is good, I have already made my own decision." He had just said this, and suddenly found that Nian Bing reached for the short knife on the far left in the cabinet, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Zha Ji is very clear that there must be good and bad among the seven knives. When the price is the same, the choice is naturally extremely important. Seeing that his fat apprentice has chosen the most inconspicuous one, he can't help but curse inwardly. , Turning his head to look at the old man in black, when he thought about it, his old friend must be gloating at this time. However, when he saw the expression on the face of the old man in black, he couldn't help being stunned. At this time, the old man in black was staring at Nian Bing's hand with wide eyes, his lips were buzzing, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it. like.
Nian Bing was not tall, so he held the tip of the knife in front of him and picked it up, and took off the inconspicuous short knife. As soon as he touched the knife, there was a cold current, which made him feel better physically and mentally, but the fluctuation of magic power in his body seemed to be more intense. Holding the threaded knife handle and looking carefully, I saw a diamond-shaped hole in the handle. As soon as the handle was in his hand, Nian Bing suddenly felt clearly that the ice magic power in his body seemed to be completely connected with the knife. With the extension of the left arm, the ice magic power flows in naturally without being urged, and a faint blue light suddenly radiates from the entire knife body.
"Master, I want this." Nian Bing waved the dagger casually, bringing out light blue rays of light, and the temperature in the whole room seemed to drop a little bit accordingly.
As soon as Cha Ji saw the light emitting from the blade, and then thought of the expression on the face of the old man in black, he couldn't help laughing, and said, "You fat boy, it seems that you hit the right one. You need this little broken knife."
The old man in black looked at Nian Bing in surprise. Suddenly, his figure flashed forward, his speed was like lightning, and he came to Nian Bing in the blink of an eye, and reached out to grab the short blade in his hand.
Nian Bing was taken aback, almost an instinctive reaction. He flipped the knife in his left hand and pointed the blade towards the old man in black. A cold breath radiated out. Unfortunately, the left hand is not a well-trained right hand after all. It immediately fell into the hands of the old man in black. Nian Bing was stunned, "Senior, what are you doing?"
Chaji walked up to Nian Bing, pressed his shoulder and said, "Little Broken Knife, you won't be reluctant to part with it. What kind of knife is this?"
The old man in black caressed the blade, sighed helplessly, and said, "Frankly speaking, I never thought that your fat apprentice would choose this one. This is the worst one among the seven knives!"
Cha Ji frowned and said: "The knife shines differently, how can it be bad, if you are not willing to let it go, I will not force others to make things difficult."
The old man in black said angrily: "Do you think I'm not willing to part with it? I haven't counted what I said, Shenzhu Huatian. Since I said that you can choose for yourself, you can choose whatever you choose. This knife is indeed The worst of the seven knives. Moreover, it is the only one that was not made by me. The reason why there is light is because of your apprentice. If I read correctly, your apprentice should have practiced ice magic. , otherwise, it is impossible to draw out the light of the sword. Old ghost! I never thought that you would actually cultivate a descendant of a magician."
Cha Ji chuckled, and said: "It's just fate. It's just bad. Anyway, you said that Nian Bing is still young, so just change it later."
The old man in black said: "I haven't finished my sentence yet. Although this knife is the worst among the seven, it can also be said to be the best. Because even I can't figure out its knife quality. At the beginning, I bought this cold knife from a down-and-out scholar for only one gold coin. The body of the knife is made of a special mineral, which is very tough. The most peculiar thing is its own coldness , if it is activated by ice magic or cold vindictiveness, it will emit the same light as before, but do you know why I say it is the worst? Because this knife has no soul."
"Soulless?" Nian Bing and Cha Ji said in unison. Both of them were full of doubts in their eyes.
Hua Tian, the old man in black, said: "That's right, this knife has no soul. Fatty, how old do you think I am this year?"
Nian Bing was originally waiting for the old man in black to explain, but when he changed the subject, he subconsciously said: "You? You should be a little older than my master."
Hua Tian laughed loudly, "Little Fatty, you are so kind. If it were someone else, I am afraid that I am more than ten years older than your master. But in fact, I am three years younger than your master. I have cultivated Dou Qi since I was a child. According to normal circumstances, I should age much slower than ordinary people, but now I look a full twenty years older than my actual age. Why is this? Because when I was casting, With the essence and blood as the soul, it is integrated into the weapon. This sky-breaking method has caused my essence to be greatly damaged, and it has become what I am now. But this cold knife does not have the soul of the knife drawn by the blood, no soul No matter how good the material is, it cannot reach the ultimate level. Therefore, although its material is the best, its quality is the worst."
Cha Ji said: "With your casting technology, it's enough to remake this knife. If you give it a soul, won't it be another top-quality knife?"
Hua Tian smiled wryly and said: "You can think of it, how could I not think of it. But I have tried many times, even if I use Jiuli Tianhuo, I can't burn this knife. How do you ask me to refine it again? With the knowledge of metal, you can’t tell where it comes from, so you have to store it first. If you don’t have a soul, you have no soul. Anyway, you just use it as a kitchen knife. This knife is as sharp as iron, so it’s no problem for cutting vegetables. Next, but be careful not to cut off the chopping board." While speaking, he handed the knife back to Nian Bing.
Nian Bing took the knife, and the feeling of being one with the body reappeared, "Senior, isn't there a way to give it a knife soul?"
Hua Tian said: "There is no way. If you can find a spiritual gemstone embedded in the hole on the handle of the knife, and use the stone as the soul, it is not impossible. The effect may be better. However, if the gemstone is not the best , inlaid on it, it will only increase the burden."
Nian Bing's heart moved, isn't the Stone of the Ice and Snow Goddess diamond-shaped? The size seemed to be similar to the hole on the handle of the knife. After hesitating for a moment, he took out the Ice and Snow Goddess Stone from his pocket and said, "Senior, can you see this?" There was a light blue brilliance, and the cold knife made a light ding, and it seemed to be alive, trembling slightly in Nian Bing's hands. Although the Ice and Snow Goddess Stone usually emits brilliance, it is definitely not as bright as it is today. The stone and the knife complement each other, as if they are calling each other.
