I don't know how much time has passed, at least no one among the hill dwarves is counting the time. Their minds are all immersed in the figure wielding the hammer, including the most heroic and capable king of the hill dwarves.
After all, the first lesson a hill dwarf learns is forging.
Until, a knife lay quietly on the forging table.
It doesn't have the bright color of the main material, shining silver iron, nor does it have any special shape or pattern. It just looks like a dull, unspectacular broad knife. Let alone a dwarf, any human blacksmith can make it.
come out.
By the way, there is something wrong with the size. It seems 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 consumed in forging this knife was far beyond his imagination, and far more than ordinary equipment. However, his mood at this moment was unprecedentedly exciting.
As a master of tool making who is proficient in three systems, after undergoing various learning practices (including the super system refining room linked by time rules) and the teachings of Tennis, his tool making skills have reached a bottleneck stage. Unexpectedly,
Today I actually got some kind of breakthrough insight in this underground forging world of hill dwarves.
Although this knife is simple and unpretentious, it has a subtle spirituality that has not been seen in Chen Rui's previous works. This unique spirituality contains the maker's unique perception and state of mind in a specific environment and moment.
This also determines the uniqueness of this knife. Even if Chen Rui successfully forges a knife with the same appearance again, it will not have exactly the same attributes.
The most important thing is that weapons of this quality are no longer ordinary legendary level!
"Your Highness Orvger, the wise controller of the hill dwarves, I wonder if this 'Soul Slayer' can prove what I want to prove?" Chen Rui walked down the forging platform holding the knife. Elder Arkas
He took a few steps forward and carefully took it with both hands. He bent down and lowered his head to Chen Rui, showing a special respect.
Even if we don’t look at the specific attributes of this knife. As a senior forging master, Elder Arcas’s etiquette can speak for itself. The dwarf craftsmen also bowed their heads and saluted Chen Rui, staring directly at Arcas.
The knife in his hand is 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 witness the birth of an epic piece of equipment."
Soul Slayer - Particularly strong, increases swing power, doubles tear wounds, and has a chance to deliver double strikes.
Additional attribute "Faith": The stronger the holder's will, the greater the power, and can cause additional damage to the enemy's soul.
Obviously, the quality of this soul slayer has surpassed the legendary level and can be classified as epic level. That is, the level of quasi-artifact and artifact, which also means that its maker has surpassed the master level!
Perhaps this sword is not as good as Beiming. Leiyin, a quasi-artifact produced by the super system, is completely separated from the super system's refining, time rules and other conditions from beginning to end, and is completely made by Chen Rui himself. Chapter 1
An epic piece of equipment with great significance.
"Epic level... This is also an honor for me." The King of Dwarves looked at the seemingly ordinary broadsword with a solemn look, and bowed his head slightly to Chen Rui: "From the actual value point of view, those equipment plus that
The blueprints are no match for this epic weapon. More importantly, I shouldn’t question a blacksmith who is at least a quasi-grandmaster. Please accept my apology and rudeness, Your Excellency.”
Chen Rui smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, this matter is a misunderstanding. My real name is Chen Rui, and I am not a quasi-grandmaster. I just felt inspired by the 'House of Iron Tree Sparks' to create this equipment. Speaking of which,
, I just found a subtle feeling that may break through to the master level. I hope... His Highness Ovger can accept this gift of friendship from me."
The real name of "Chen Rui" is unknown in the surface world, so he did not hide it. This tone made him more candid.
Ofger's eyes lit up, he stroked the "Soul Slayer" fondly, and said happily: "I accept your kindness and gifts, and at the same time I will host 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 this time I have a very urgent matter and need to rush to Garden City, so I chose the shortcut of Black Rock Mountain. I just hope to get His Highness's permission and arrive there as soon as possible.
Destination. After my business is finished, I will come with the best wine and have a good drink with my hill dwarf friends!"
The dwarf king showed a hearty smile and was about to agree when Elder Arcas stepped forward and whispered a few words.
Ofger frowned, seemed to hesitate, and finally said: "Human friends of the hill dwarves, I have one thing to ask you, about this theft incident. In fact, the stolen equipment is not
It's nothing, but that blueprint is of great importance. It is a relic of the late forging master Rick of the hill dwarf clan, 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 moment and agreed: "Okay, tell me the characteristics of the drawing, and I will try my best to track down the matter and try to return it to its original owner as soon as possible."
Ofger nodded and took out a badge and handed it to Chen Rui: "That drawing is actually the result of joint research between Grandmaster Rick and Grandmaster Fenoa of the elves of the Emerald Forest Sea. It seems to be part of some kind of design. The late king
When he was in power, the envoys from the elves specifically mentioned this matter and wanted to get this blueprint. Due to various considerations, the late king did not agree at the time, which caused the relationship between the hill dwarves and the elves to become hostile for a time. If you can retrieve the blueprint
, you don’t have to return the hill dwarves, you can enter the emerald forest with this green badge, give the blueprint to Grandmaster Fenoa, and convey the friendship of the hill dwarves on my behalf. I believe you will also get additional rewards from Grandmaster Fenoa.
"
In addition to recovering the blueprints, he also wanted to serve as a diplomatic envoy? The dwarf king was not polite at all, but Chen Rui, the master of elven tool making, was a little interested, because his teacher Tennis was born less than a year later.
In time, there will be a life-and-death battle with a grandmaster-level opponent, which can be described as a disaster or a disaster. If Chen Rui can get the master-level advice and convey it to Thetnis, it may greatly increase the teacher's hope of survival. So if conditions permit,
You might as well take a trip to the Emerald Forest. Of course, you must first recover the blueprint.
"Okay, I remember it." Chen Rui took the leaf-shaped badge with a faint natural smell, "By the way. The mercenaries outside don't know my real name and skills, and I ask Your Highness to keep it a secret."
Ofger nodded without thinking: "Don't worry, I can guarantee that the hill dwarves will not reveal any secrets related to our human friend Chen Rui. I will personally send you away from Black Rock Mountain. At the same time, I look forward to meeting my friend again."
The day of drinking.”
The turmoil among the hill dwarves finally subsided. In order to avoid suspicion by Fatty and others, Chen Rui declined Orvger's offer to escort him personally. After a short rest, he set off on the road with everyone. Due to the time of forging, he had already left the thick earth castle.
It's noon the next day.
Although the King of the Dwarves did not send them off in person, he still sent an army of shield warriors to escort them in the name of surveillance. After a day and a night, they were sent out of the Black Rock Mountain area.
Looking down from the hillside, through the thin haze of the morning light, one can already see the road leading to Garden City. There are vague figures of some people and carriages, and everyone's faces are filled with joy. Even Chen Rui is no exception.
.
Not only did he pass through Black Rock Mountain safely this time, but his weapon-making realm also got a new breakthrough by chance, which can be regarded as an unexpected gain.
If the strength of the hill dwarves is only as strong as it seems on the surface, then it is not impossible for Chen Rui to use his strength to break through the thick earth castle. But this time he went to Garden City to use Mana's plan to steal faith.
He mixed up with Bai Ya of the Church of Light to obtain the Snowdale Flower, and his impatience messed up his big plan. In order to save Isabella, he must not expose his power easily.
The green badge given by Ofger also reminded Chen Rui that if it was too late to save the "travel expenses" of one million faith crystals, he could consider using Samuel's method of going to the devil world to find a certain master of the elves, which would be very expensive.
Open the space at the cost, randomly appear somewhere in the demon world, and then return to Isabella through the starry sky gate.
However, this method is quite risky. Once you fall into the turbulence of space, you will be shattered into pieces. You must not try it easily until you have no choice. More importantly, because the Dark Element King is trapped in the Tower of Destruction on the bottom of the sea, he will never be able to survive.
In terms of time, it may be too late to find Hegel and save Isabella. Therefore, even if you open up space and take the risk of returning to the Demon Realm, you still have to go to the Holy Mountain of Light to obtain the Snowdale Flower.
"I am finally free from the surveillance of the dwarf army. Those fierce dwarves have made me unable to say a word all day and night. Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. My dearest friend Richard, what are you doing?
How did you convince those stubborn dwarves?" The fat man's voice interrupted Chen Rui's thoughts. At this time, everyone had already walked onto the road. According to Ina, they could reach Garden City in about two hours.
Chen Rui looked at the mercenaries who were also looking at him with curious eyes, and smiled slightly: "That's it, I used the powerful strength that I had always hidden, forged an epic weapon, and convinced the dwarf king, so he
Let us leave and send someone to escort us here."
As soon as he said this, everyone around him looked at him with disdain. Even his die-hard follower Samuel showed disbelief. Chen Rui sighed, why is the truth always so unrecognized?
"Okay, actually the method is very simple. Let me ask you, would a person who is richer than the owner be a thief?" Chen Rui smiled bitterly: "I just took out some things that can prove my identity and wealth.
Things, and then paid a price that satisfied the dwarves, so we could leave Black Rock Mountain safely. But just in case, the King of the Dwarves sent an army to monitor the whole way..."
"Prove your identity and wealth?" Ina looked suspicious, "Are you sure you have nothing to do with this theft? Who are you?"
Chen Rui's tone changed and he said coldly: "A woman's suspicion should not be put in this regard! 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 guys yet!”
This sentence immediately aroused the indignation of the mercenaries, especially Samuel, who was full of murderous intent: "Say it again? Who is the cowardly and incompetent guy? Apologize to Ina immediately!"
"Did I make a mistake?" Chen Rui sneered contemptuously and looked directly at Samuel without hesitation, "As an employer, I have no obligation to explain to you, let alone apologize! I want to question him now.
To you Iron Shield Mercenary Group, including the time with the poisonous snake, this is the second time I have rescued you. Do you protect me, or do I protect you? I don’t think my friend Mana needs to pay you double the remuneration and
Compensation!”
Samuel's eyes became more and more sharp, and he was about to explode when he was stopped by Ina. The female leader obviously suppressed her anger and said to Chen Rui: "As a reputable mercenary group, we are in the most dangerous place."
We did not give up protection despite the circumstances, and there were casualties. As for the salary, Mr. Mana personally promised us, and now we are about to reach Garden City safely, how can we go back on our word at the moment?"
The fat man was eager to save more money, so he immediately jumped out and said: "I did promise ten times the salary and compensation for casualties, but Richard is right. This time, Heiyan Mountain relied on him to escape, and he doesn't know how much he suffered.
Economic losses, as mercenaries protecting their employers, why do you still want ten times the salary and compensation? I can justify this matter even if it comes to the mercenary union!"
The mercenaries all showed angry expressions and were about to fall out. In the end, the fat man thought quickly and thought that the Dagger Brotherhood would probably assassinate her again. He agreed to pay Ina double commission and a certain amount of compensation, so he reluctantly transferred her.
The matter calmed down.
Looking at Chen Rui's back walking in front, Samuel's clenched fists began to tremble slightly. Ina comforted him a few words, and then gave up after seeing that his excitement had eased.
In fact, the female leader did not know the real reason for Samuel's anger and excitement.
The conflict just now was a show colluded between him and "His Highness".
Although "His Highness" did not explain, but only ordered him to execute it in a commanding tone, Samuel could guess that "His Highness" was going to complete something alone, a very dangerous thing, so he needed to distance himself from his relationship.
, so as not to be involved.
As a subject and a follower who obeyed his orders, he could only watch helplessly. The only thing he could do was to stay out of the matter and avoid becoming a burden.
We must become stronger as soon as possible! For the sake of Joyner! And for the sake of that lonely figure walking forward in the morning light!
The Silver Knight took a deep breath and his eyes became firmer.!~!
