After returning, Vivian returned to the job for which she was punished and started the elevator service which lasted for a month.
Yi Chen returned to his rented apartment on the second floor and waited for news from Mr. Tinggu.
Vivian also talked to Yi Chen about Mr. Tinggu's personality. Although he was not very likable, as long as the money was in place and the transaction was reasonable, Mr. Tinggu would never go back on his word. It was precisely because of his integrity that he was able to do a lot of "ear business" in the original tomb.
…
On the second floor of the Black Funeral House Inn.
Yi Chen was washing his body in the bathroom.
Shisan stood outside the door, holding the teacher's clothes with one hand, and used the white candle above his head to dispel the deadly aura that remained on the surface of the clothes. The whole thing looked like a clothing steamer.
Suddenly,
Thirteen felt discomfort in her ears. When she used her free hand to rub her ears, she found that the more she rubbed them, the less she could hear. There was even some noise, and her thinking became fuzzy.
At the same time, a skull rolled into the room silently.
This skull has two ears, which can be used to fix it when rolling by adhering to the ears, and to listen to ground vibrations to detect the activity characteristics of all nearby creatures.
Just as the skull was about to quietly roll into the bathroom to take a glimpse of the beautiful scenery he had been dreaming about day and night, a voice came from the bathroom:
"You should ask for permission before entering my room, Sir Stephen? Do all the dead come in so quietly as you do?"
The skull stopped rolling and coalesced into a human form in front of the bathroom door, shrouded in a cloak and with bony hands crossed in front of it.
"Mr. William, did you set up multiple restrictions in the room? I clearly avoided the seal on the door and blocked the hearing of the entire room, but you still found it. It's really extraordinary."
"No... I only put a seal on the door. I found you because of Thirteen's abnormality.
She is not just my puppet, she is also my student."
"I see, is there a deeper connection? It's the ability of a lunatic... I knew it was because of your special brain that you could grow such beautiful ears. How about letting me in now!
If it's in the bathroom and you're not wearing any clothes, just let me touch you for an hour."
"No, let's talk about it later."
The gentleman's suit on Thirteen's arm immediately moved, and he slipped into the bathroom through the crack of the door.
The next second, Yi Chen, after changing his clothes, walked out of the room.
Stephen Tinggu stared at Yi Chen's ears so closely, his bony palms rubbing quickly in front of him like flies, and the saliva in his mouth was secreted in multiples and swallowed continuously.
"Mr. Stephen, have you found the blacksmith?"
"If I don't find it, how can I have time to come to you~ As long as you pay the 'trading chips', I will take you there immediately..."
"Why don't you take me there first? Anyway, it takes a lot of time to process the cuneiform stone and forge the weapons. We can come back to conduct our private transaction later. Wouldn't that save some time? Don't you think so?"
"Fine, come with me... I used up an important favor to find the blacksmith."
"Who is this and where do you live?"
"On the sixth floor, Mr. Alpaci, the craftsman accompanying the Knights of the Death Plague.
You may not understand the identity of a military craftsman. It means that he has the strength of a knight, can follow the legion to kill people everywhere, and can also set up camp at any time and light a fire to repair and build equipment for the knights.
Such a person has a high status in the Knights Templar, second only to the chief and vice chief."
"Thank you, Mr. Stephen."
"You're welcome, it's just a deal... If you really want to thank me, why not take some practical action and let me touch you more."
"Let's talk about it later."
The two men walked out of the room, and Thirteen immediately followed.
Take the elevator to the sixth floor of the original tomb, which is the floor closest to the original deceased. This area is known as the training ground of the Knights of the Plague.
It's called a training ground.
When Yi Chen arrived at this floor, he did not hear any sound of weapons clashing, nor did he see any knights training here.
This floor is even more desolate than other areas, with only a few ownerless coffins without tombstones scattered here.
However, each coffin exudes a strong smell of death.
At this moment, Stephen, who was lying on the mule, briefly introduced:
"You seem confused, right? Why is there no movement at the training ground of the Knights? Actually, the actual combat training is not conducted here but on the upper floor.
The so-called training here is more about self-cultivation.
Because there is only a layer of ground between the knight and the boss's bedroom, he can bury himself underground and then absorb the death plague in the special coffin. The knight lying between the coffins will soon enter a state of death meditation.
Don't underestimate these coffins. The cost of the consumables is sky-high, and there are only thirty-six coffins buried here. Only knights who have made contributions are qualified to be buried in them."
"Wait, there's one thing I don't understand... Even if there aren't a lot of coffins, aren't there still so much open space? Why not use it all and bring all the Knights here to train? The closer they are to the original dead, the better the effect of the death training, right?"
“No, no, no, you don’t understand this correctly.
Although we all appeared with the first dead, if we get too close to them, we might get lost in death... and even the first dead hope that we can develop our own unique death based on our mastery of the death plague.
Therefore, moderate and appropriate contact is best, and being too close to the original deceased will be counterproductive.
Have you been to the bottom floor a few times? Some of the countless skulls that make up the chamber were not offered as sacrifices, but were the poor guys who accidentally lost themselves in death.
Of course, after all, we were born with the death plague, and it is almost impossible to develop our own death. Since ancient times, only the former leader has done it.
William, the death you suffered can be considered a different kind of death other than the plague. It's a pity that you don't want to stay here, otherwise you would definitely be able to eat up a lot of the dividends."
"Everyone has their own choices, right?"
"Oh~ What a pity! It would be great if you could stay!"
Stephen's mule finally brought the two men to the edge of this floor, and a shop embedded in the wall appeared before them. There was no heat, not even light, and it didn't look like a blacksmith shop at all.
All you can see are various strange-shaped stones and limbs hanging in it.
Just as the two were about to approach, a giant man who looked like a stitched creature bent over and walked out. He was more than four meters tall and only wore a black leather apron. His exposed flesh was white and covered with stitches.
"Stephen, is this the guest you were talking about?"
"That's right. Although he is young, he is very popular with the boss... Just because I helped you collect materials before, help him make a weapon."
"Come in."
Mr. Alpaci led the two into the blacksmith shop, or more precisely, a 'stone tool and biological manufacturing room'.
Only stones and biological flesh are processed and produced here, which has nothing to do with metals in the traditional sense. Naturally, there are no heating appliances such as furnaces. The forging process is often completed at room temperature or even low temperature.
When Yi Chen took out the "Dead Ridge Lacquer" and the "Dead Wedge Stone",
Alpaci's dull eyes suddenly lit up, and he took out a magnifying glass made of a corpse's eye mask and carefully observed this pure and flawless wedge-shaped stone.
"What kind of dead statue dropped such a high-purity wedge-shaped stone?"
Stephen replied: "It is an independent dead image with a fully formed consciousness. We almost flipped over! It was all thanks to William, the little outsider, who broke the deadlock... Although he only has open source, he is very powerful.
Otherwise, Black Wolf Bernard and Dead Words Vivian would not have given him such a good thing."
"Open source, independent? Okay, I'll take this job..."
Yi Chen was also delighted and immediately asked, "Do you need me to stay and cooperate with the production?"
"No, just cut off your dominant hand completely. I will definitely make a spine weapon that is most suitable for you."
As he spoke, Mr. Alpaci even gestured at the joint of the shoulders.
Swish! Blood splattered... Yi Chen left the blacksmith shop without saying anything, and waited quietly for the delivery notification.
