Volume 1: The Dark Cave Chapter 20: The Choice of Bahrain
Early in the morning, Ayton woke up in a daze, feeling the warm delicate body in his arms, the purple skin was extremely smooth, and the feel was excellent, so he couldn't help but touch it, and then felt a pair of bulges.
Wait!
Ayton suddenly opened his eyes, and found that Ariel's coat had disappeared at some point, leaving only a thin black shirt, which she must have taken off secretly in the middle of the night.
It wasn't anything before, but now there are two outsiders here, although they are two girls, but if they are discovered, they will definitely think crankily again, and when the time comes, it will be bad if they destroy their hard-won relationship.
"Well, brother, you're awake. Ariel woke up in a daze.
Ayton was suddenly startled, and quickly looked at Eluli not far away, and found that she was still asleep, she studied too seriously last night, and after knowing that Ayton actually knew a lot of other music, she begged Ayton to teach her in the middle of the night, knowing that Ayton promised to teach her all the tunes he knew before agreeing to go to bed.
Then Ayton looked at Mu Yue and found that Mu Yue had already woken up at some point, and his golden eyes looked at him with disdain.
"Brother, what are you blushing for. Ariel slowly put on her clothes.
At this time, Iruli also woke up.
"Big brother, Sister Mu Yue, Sister Ariel, it's early. ”
"Morning. ”
"Morning, let's wash up. ”
"Hmm. ”
"Mu Yue, come out. Ayton opened the cage.
Mu Yue seemed to get up very early, she didn't put on the forbidden lock herself last night, she just locked herself in the cage, and then threw the key to Ayton. didn't say anything about the conditions for agreeing to Ayton, but Ayton didn't say anything, just assumed that she agreed.
Third-order warriors have no weapons, it is difficult to break the iron cage, and even if they have strong combat skills, they need a little time to get out of the cage. Unless she reaches the sixth order and can release her fighting energy, or she will release magic to attack the sleeping people from a distance, their lives will be threatened in the slightest. But Ayton was confident she wouldn't.
"Big brother, what tune are you going to teach today. Ilully asked impatiently.
"Well, I have something to do today, I won't be back until the evening, and if you want to take a shower, you can wash it at noon. Ayton said embarrassedly, he was going to the office today to exchange the second-order crystal nucleus for points for food and daily necessities, and then go to Balina to set the core for Ariel's weapon and promote it to rare.
"Ah, okay. Iruli was a little disappointed.
Ayton stepped forward and touched her head and comforted, "You have to practice magic well during the day, and strive to escape together as soon as possible, and I'll teach you to play the flute as soon as I come back at night, okay." ”
"Hmm. ”
"Brother, let's go. Ariel urged.
"Oh. Ayton turned to the two of them and said, "Yiluli, see you in the evening." ”
"Big brother, come back early. ”
Mu Yue still ignored it, and Ayton touched her nose, it seemed that she still didn't want to open up to him.
Office of the Dark Elves.
After passing the third-order test, each dark elf can freely go to the land of trials to hunt monsters to obtain crystal nuclei or materials to exchange for gold coins, which can be used to buy better food, weapons, daily necessities, etc.
The two of them arrived, and a scantily clad female dark elf stood at the counter, listening respectfully to a tall hooded dark elf woman in front of them.
"Mentor Shaperina. The two people who saw the latter's face exclaimed at the same time.
"Hey, it's you two little ghosts. Shaperina was a little surprised that she had met the two of them so coincidentally. "Good coming, I'm about to go to you. ”
"Is there anything the mentor is looking for us?" After the third-order test, it was basically their free cultivation time, and there was basically no big deal.
"That's right, Her Majesty the Queen ordered that all third-order people should go to the depths of the trial land to hunt demonic beasts in a month, for a period of 3 days, everyone must hand over 10 third-order crystal nuclei, and at the same time, 10 second-order crystal nuclei can be worth 1 third-order crystal nucleus. ”
"Trials mission!" Ayton sighed a little, he had seen a trial event when he was in the first order, and at that time, all the people of the third order went to the trial land for a three-day demonic beast hunt, but only about 70% of them came back.
They survive in the land of trials for half a day, and one day is not much of a problem, but they have to survive in a high-pressure environment for three consecutive days, and they must complete the crystal nucleus task, which is a great test for their spirit and body, but as long as they pass this trial, their strength will basically be greatly improved, and there is a high chance that they will break through to the fourth order.
However, with cultivation like this kind of continuous high-pressure situation, Mentor Shaperina has forced them to do it many times.
"Well, the Trials Grounds will be closed from now until the day of the trial, but this time it's a bit special, as the Blood Moon will increase to its maximum power while you're hunting, and the Refraction Crystal will be aimed at the depths of the Trials. ”
"Why is this happening?" "In the past, the Blood Moon would not change in any way due to the Trials mission.
"I don't know the specifics, but it is said that a new blood moon usage has been researched, so let's test it. ”
"But you don't have to worry about that, I wanted to remind you to prepare in advance, not to focus too much on your two slaves, but now it seems that there is no need. ”
"Well, good mentor. ”
"Well, you're here to exchange for gold, and I'm going to go to the surface world recently, and I won't be back anytime soon, so I'll let you know when I come back for the next training time, and I'll train hard at home this month." ”
"Good mentor. Ariel was overjoyed that her mentor had given her a long vacation, and she could stay with her brother every day.
After saying goodbye to their mentor, the two exchanged some food and supplies and walked to the Bahrain Forge House.
In the evening, Ayton put down the forging hammer in his hand, wiped the sweat from his face, and finally finished it.
"My brother has worked hard. A small tender hand reached over to Ayton's forehead and helped wipe the sweat from his head.
Ayton had spent an afternoon setting Ariel's weapon with a third-order spider demon dismantler's crystal nucleus, and with yesterday's experience, it was even more handy this time.
"You're in luck. Balin said enviously: "This is a mutated Warcraft crystal nucleus, which can provide the effect of toxin anesthesia to the weapon."
"It turns out that the Spider Demon Dismantler is a mutated Warcraft, no wonder it is so difficult" Ayton injected his fighting spirit into the short sword, and the crystal nucleus on the hilt instantly glowed with a little green light, and then spread upwards to the sword body, this is the poison of the Spider Demon Dismantler, as long as it is scratched by the blade, it will be poisoned, and Ariel of the assassin profession is a perfect match.
Seeing that Ariel's eyes were glowing with gold on the side, Ayton handed the short sword in his hand to Ariel.
"Thank you, brother. Ariel quickly kissed Ayton on the cheek and ran out of the forge room.
Ayton touched the remaining humidity on his face, as if he had seen it somewhere.
"I didn't expect you to have a complete grasp of the core in two days. Bahrain lamented that this was Ayton's second practice of inlaying, having previously practiced inlaying with different metals. ”
"It's all taught by you, and if it weren't for you, I might not have been able to build such a weapon in my life. Ayton thanked him from the bottom of his heart.
Bahrain was noncommittal, taking a full sip of his wine, as if he had made some kind of decision. "Well, remember to come early tomorrow, I'm going to teach you enchantment. ”
"Ah, do you still enchant. Ayton was surprised, he hadn't said he could enchant before, and he thought he was almost done with his blacksmithing.
Balin instantly blew his beard and glared: "I'm the most powerful forging master of our Dwarven Hammer Clan, how could it not be a mere enchantment." ”
"If you don't say it sooner, there may not be enough time. Ayton said a little helplessly, he had planned to take them to escape here after waiting for Mu Yue's wings to grow.
"Running out of time, what do you mean?" said Balin, a little surprised.
"Ariel and I are going to the Land of Trials for a three-day hunt in a month, and I'm going to escape here in two months, taking Ariel, Ilully, and Mu Yue with me. Ayton confessed
Balin took another sip of wine and let out a long sigh: "Have you finally decided that you want to escape?" ”
"Hmm. "I had promised Balin that I would learn his blacksmithing completely, but I thought I was almost done, but I found that I still had something to learn.
"The difficulty of your trial task is not great, and with your current strength, you are sure to complete it. ”
"Hmm..... Be sure. Ayton thought about it and felt very sure, although Mentor Shaperina just reminded that this time the situation was different from the past, but with the high strength of Ayton and Ariel, the rare level inlaid with nuclear weapons, it can be regarded as the top in the entire third order of the dark elves, and Xina's favor, she can be asked to form a team together and hunt demonic beasts together.
"That's good, then you come to me every day these days, I will teach you all the enchantments I will have, with your talent is estimated to be able to learn one in a month, if it really doesn't work, I will write a book, and you will learn it slowly in the future." ”
"Thank you. ”
"Don't thank me, just remember the nephew who taught me, he has always been interested in my blacksmithing, but unfortunately I can no longer teach him with my own hands. ”
"I'm sure I'll find him. Ayton was gloomy, although he had also thought about taking Bahrain out of the dark region, but it was difficult for him to get out of the forest of despair as an ordinary person.
Bahrain saw the entanglement in Ayton's heart, and comforted: "Actually, when I was caught here, I knew that I would never be able to get out, I originally wanted to die a heroic death in the riot seven years ago, but I didn't expect to meet you, there is a successor to the forging skills, and when you go out, my name Bahrain-Hammer will definitely appear in the eyes of the world again, haha." ”
Ayton had no choice but to promise Balin, "I will find your nephew, Tackerin-Hammer, and carry your blacksmithing skills to the next level." ”
"Well, it's a pity that I haven't found the meaning of life yet, I've dedicated my life to building the legendary Hallows, but it's a pity that I haven't even touched the threshold of the Hallows. Bahrain lamented that he had previously said that the essence of a hallows is life, and that when you learn to make life, you can craft the legendary Hallows.
"I hope you can carry on my legacy in the future and create the legendary Hallows, I heard that you dark elves have a Hallows. ”
"That's right, but a hundred years ago I disappeared in the Trials with the previous queen. ”
"Hey, I'd love to see the legendary artifact,"
“......”
"But forget it, how can such a thing as a holy weapon be seen as soon as you want, it's not too early, you should go, remember to bring more wine tomorrow. Bahrain turned his back.
Ayton could see Bahrain's sadness and relief, and as soon as he left, unless he revealed his identity as a master smith, he would have to return to the dark days of the past.
In the past, he was struggling to breathe for the sake of not being forgotten for his own skills, but now that there is a successor, he can also leave safely.
Ayton said goodbye to Bahrain and found Ariel, who was playing with the Nether Shortsword outside, and the two left the forge together.
