In the Crystal Valley, Chen Rui has been in the laboratory for the past two days. Since he has the reputation of a genius tool maker, he must do something to show off. As expected, Manu did not break his promise and built a laboratory specially provided for him.
On a hillside, there are residences at the foot of the hillside, quiet and undisturbed.
The area of this laboratory is very large, and the conditions are better than those in the Instrument Maker Alliance. The materials and facilities are all available. At Chen Rui's special request, the assistant originally arranged was sent back, regardless of whether the assistant's purpose was to assist or
Surveillance, he didn't want more pairs of eyes around him.
Many tool-making masters have secrets that are not passed down to others. Only the closest and most trusted apprentices can be taught, so Chen Rui's request is not outrageous. Manu naturally will not force it, and also sent a large number of them as per his request.
Ordinary materials for him to "test" refining techniques.
Chen Rui's real purpose for wanting these ordinary materials is naturally not "refining", but to transform spiritual energy and purchase the blueprints of "Thunder Sound". Even if Manu or others want to test the "test success" of refining, they only need to get it casually
Putting the materials in the refining room and spinning them around can blind those people's eyes.
Chen Rui did not take the Kaio Fruit because the power of the Kaio Fruit is very powerful and requires a quiet and undisturbed environment. These two days are the deadline for the "artifact" that Manu promised, and he may see him at any time.
I met a long-lost "old friend", so Chen Rui planned to try the Kaio Fruit after getting the artifact.
At this time, a maid came to the laboratory and told him that Manu had something to call him.
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 sharp ears, he could hear voices in the distance, to be precise, it was Manu's voice shouting.
"What I want to remind you is that even if you have the strongest nightmare eyes and are the legitimate son of the previous king, you are still only at the peak of the Demon King! The demon world respects power, and I, Manu Leviathan, am the one who respects it.
Jealous of the current supreme controller of the royal family!" Manu's voice was cold and even murderous. It was completely different from the image of the old fox who usually smiled and groaned. However, foxes are also carnivorous animals, and foxes in the devil world are cunning and cruel and like to eat their prey.
Not even the bones are left.
"Lord Manu, please forgive me for being rude!" This voice was even 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 is left by your father.
I don’t agree to just hand it over to an outsider for study!”
"So what if your father left it to you?" Manu sneered: "Have you been recognized by the magic shield? Your sister is the candidate recognized by the magic shield! Don't think that I don't know about your feelings for Dili.
Those things Ya did! Now even she is missing, that is, the person who recognized the artifact has disappeared. This alone is enough for me to punish you!"
These few conversations made Chen Rui's heart move. Since Delia usually didn't want to mention Bai Luo, he didn't ask any more questions. Now he found out that Bai Luo and Delia's father turned out to be the previous Leviathan.
King, and this Manu is the current controller.
Since Delia has been recognized by the Demon Shield, Bai Luo has been taking the Demon Shield land as his own, and has always regarded himself as the next controller of Leviathan. Now that Delia is "missing", he is unwilling to hand over the Demon Shield.
Shield, probably because they are worried that Manu or others will get the approval of the Demon Shield. It seems that obtaining the Demon Shield can further aggravate the internal conflicts of the Leviathan royal family. It really kills two birds with one stone.
At this time, the maid and Chen Rui had arrived at the entrance of the hall and informed Manu that the quarrel inside had stopped.
After Chen Rui got permission to enter, he walked into the hall. There were two people in the hall. Sure enough, besides Manu, the other one was Chen Rui's "old acquaintance", Bai Luo Li, the leader of the three generals of the Shadow Empire.
Vitan.
Manu returned to his usual smiling look, but Bai Luo's face still looked gloomy.
"Master, you are here," Manu said with a smile: "Let me introduce to you, this is my...nephew, his name is Bai Luo, the leader of the three generals of the Shadow Empire. Bai Luo, this person is called the Demon Realm
Master of the three systems, Master Arthur, the genius of the magic circle."
Chen Rui heard that Manu deliberately revealed Bai Luo's identity to him. He nodded casually and shook his head disapprovingly: "Master Manu, I don't care about generals or not. What I care about is the artifact. I just heard what you said
In the voice, it was mentioned that the artifact is on your nephew, so... give it to me quickly. I have been thinking about Lord Crystal Dragon's magic circle for the past two days, and I seem to have some ideas, and I need the Phantom Shield as a reference."
This rudeness and disregard made Bai Luo's eyes flash with a cold light. He looked at Chen Rui for a few times, and suddenly frowned and said: "I don't know why, Master gave me a familiar feeling. Have we met somewhere?"
Not only have I seen it, but I have also had close "contact" with it. The pockmark on your face was caused by my brother.
Of course, Chen Rui could only mutter this in his heart, but he looked a little impatient: "I have heard this kind of words a lot. The last time the third general Kafu met, it 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." The answer was Manu. The anger on Bai Luo's face disappeared briefly. Looking at the smiling Manu, he felt even more resentful. This old fox
He was summoned from the border fortress urgently, thinking it was for something important. Unexpectedly, it was for the magic shield. However, Bai Luo knew Manu's character well. The wider his smile, the more dangerous he was. If he didn't leave the magic shield today, he would probably
They fell out, and with the power gap between the two sides, the magic shield still couldn't be maintained.
In fact, it’s nothing to give this master Arthur more information. If he can use this to win over, Bai Luo is willing to give up this bargaining chip. After all, it is impossible for people outside the Leviathan royal family to use the artifact, but it is obvious that Arthur has surrendered to Manu, and this artifact
Even if it loses its research value, Manu will definitely not return it.
A good man does not suffer immediate losses. Now his skills are inferior to others and he can only surrender. In the future, if his strength surpasses Manu...
Bai Luo thought in his mind, and finally made the decision to compromise. He took out a round shield from his back and handed it to Chen Rui. Chen Rui looked happy and took it.
This round shield is larger than the phantom shield in Delia's hand. It is dark gold in color and covered with simple and elegant patterns. The undecorated part in the center should be the part that can be integrated with the phantom shield.
The Phantom Shield is the most defensive equipment among the seven artifacts. It can not only defend against all physical and magical attacks, but also reflect damage, making it the best armor. Chen Rui once saw the power of this large shield outside the Poison Dragon's treasure in the Youye Wetland.
, at that time, a lightning inscription that was comparable to the Demon Emperor's peak power was completely blocked by the round shield held by Bai Luo when activated at full strength. Furthermore, Bai Luo was not recognized by the artifact, but only used the material of the demon shield itself.
Defense!
Chen Rui stroked the pattern on it as if he had found a treasure, and suddenly frowned: "No, how could this happen! Is this the Phantom Shield? Why does it feel like an important part is missing?"
"The master's eyesight is indeed extraordinary, and he saw the problem with the artifact at a glance," Manu nodded: "The phantom shield is divided into two parts, the phantom shield and the magic shield. This is the magic shield. As for the phantom shield, it was created thousands of years ago.
He has disappeared, and we, the Leviathan clan, are also trying our best to search for him, but he has not been found yet."
It seems that Bai Luo did not disclose the matter of the Phantom Shield of Youye Wetland and the real reason for Delia's disappearance. Chen Rui showed a look of dissatisfaction on his face: "Lord Manu, I voluntarily accepted the spiritual shackles in order to study the artifact.
Now this artifact is incomplete, does it violate your original promise?"
"Master, don't be angry," Manu said with a smile: "In any case, the magic shield is one of the seven artifacts after all. Moreover, the seven artifacts are not only the magic shield, but also the other six. In the future, as long as our plan is successful, all seven artifacts will be
It’s no problem to use all the artifacts for the master to study.”
Seven artifacts? What a huge ambition! Chen Rui pondered for a while and said: "I am just an instrument maker pursuing the peak level. I don't care about other things. So... When will Lord Azgaro come back? I hope.
Sir, can you help me borrow the God-Eating Mask from him for details?"
"Azgalo has important matters abroad, and he will definitely not be able to return in the near future," Manu pondered for a moment, "Well, when he comes back, I will help you ask."
Manu's words obviously meant to delay and perfunctory, but he didn't know that the God-Eating Mask was actually in Chen Rui's hands. These words were intended to test Azgalo's movements. Manu's answer had already revealed Azgalo's short-term
Chen Rui knew the news that he would not be able to return to Crystal Valley within a short period of time, so he naturally accepted it as soon as possible.
Chen Rui's eyes fell on the long sword on Bai Luo's waist, and he seemed unable to move away: "General, this sword seems weird, can you show it to me?"
Bai Luo didn't expect that this greedy guy took the magic shield and it wasn't enough. He actually had another idea for his beloved sword. His eyes flashed and the sword was instantly unsheathed with a "clang", but in the end he didn't make any mistakes.
He held the sword in front of Chen Rui's face with an unkind look on his face.
The more unhappy Bai Luo is, the happier Chen Rui feels. Unfortunately, Manu and Bai Luo are both scheming people, otherwise it would be great if Manu 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: "What a good sword! Although it has not reached the legendary level, its attributes are already quite good. The attack speed is increased by 35%, and the water element
The magic power is increased by 38%, swallowing the enemy's lost vitality and converting it into one's own physical strength."
Bai Luo showed a slightly surprised look. Appraisal is one of the skills of a master maker, but it usually requires corresponding instrument testing to confirm. But this Arthur accurately stated the attributes of the blood river just by looking at it, including that
With the hidden characteristic of devouring the enemy's life, it seems that the number one genius in the demon world has lived up to his reputation.
Of course, Chen Rui would not tell that it was the effect of the Analytical Eye. He touched the sword body, closed his eyes and pretended to feel it for a while, then showed a look of regret: "The sword is a good sword, but it's a pity that it won't last long.
"
Bai Luo was taken aback and asked doubtfully: "Why did the master say that?"
"We tool makers have a saying that making 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 is slightly injured can self-repair.
The problem is that your sword is no longer slightly injured. You can't see it in this state, and it's hard for other weapon masters to judge, but it can't be hidden from my gifted eyes. I can clearly feel it.
There are countless scars left. If it continues like this, encounters a certain intensity of pressure or is injected with too much power, this sword will be completely shattered."
Chen Rui's identity is a master of weapon making who is famous in the demon world. He just showed off his "appraisal magic skills". Naturally, Bai Luo couldn't ignore these words. "Blood River" is his most convenient weapon, and its attributes are quite suitable for him.
Now that I heard that there was a danger of scrapping, I didn't dare to neglect it, and my tone softened: "Since Master can see it, I wonder if there is a way to repair it?"
Chen Rui pretended to be deep in thought: "There is a way, but there is no absolute certainty. If it succeeds, the properties of this sword may be further improved. As long as the general is trustworthy, I can give it a try, and it can be regarded as taking the general's magic shield."
It’s a kind of reward for research.”
Bai Luo secretly thought that the magic shield could not be recovered for the time being. If the "blood river" could be repaired, it would be able to offset some of the losses. He immediately nodded and said: "I believe in the master, I will leave this 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 and nodded: "Then, come with me."
Manu wanted to see the methods of this genius master in the tool making 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 from others and placed them one by one. His rigorous and serious expression made people awe-inspiring. After turning on the magic furnace to reach the required temperature, Chen Rui did not hesitate.
He politely put the "blood river" in and calcined it until it turned red. He took out the pliers and then picked up a sledgehammer to hit it. The hammering method of opening and closing contained a mysterious meaning, like some kind of
Seeing the artistic dance, Manu nodded secretly, but the sparks caused by the sledgehammer hitting the river of blood made Bai Luo secretly feel distressed.
Chen Rui knocked and sprinkled a magic powder at the same time. The whole long sword made a strange sizzling sound, followed by a series of smooth movements and processes. The complex process that originally required the cooperation of several people was completed perfectly by one person.
Finish.
In addition to reforging, even the gems on the hilt of the sword were dug out, polished and carved, with meticulous attention to detail. After about three hours, Chen Rui finally stopped all work and wiped the sweat from his head.
The long sword was handed over to Bai Luo: "Fortunately, the general did not disappoint. This sword has not only restored 38% of its original value, but also increased the power of water magic by 40%. It can swallow the enemy's lost vitality and convert it into one's own physical strength. It also comes with a bloodthirsty spell."
The magic can increase the attack by 20%, but the defense will be weakened by 10%. It can only be used once a day. This piece of 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 felt that the attack speed had increased. He tried the bloodthirsty technique again and was full of praise. If
He said that he originally had a murderous intention towards Master "Arthur", but now it has turned into admiration. No wonder he was treated with such courtesy by Manu. He really has real material - if there is a chance to bring down Manu in the future, he must try to bring him down.
This person took it for his own use.
Chen Rui accepted Bai Luo's thanks and praises calmly. The highest level of deception is that after selling him, he would help you count the money with a grateful look on his face.
Originally, this poor sword was just a "minor injury" that could heal itself at most, but now it has become a truly irreparable serious injury. As for the improvement of attributes... I have never heard of a "return to light" before overdrawing its vitality.
"What?"
