Chapter 82: Raphael's Gift
"If you hit one more hammer, I promise this wand will mess up!
In the forging chamber in a valley somewhere in Morrowind Academy, Raphael crossed his hands on his hips and swore a warning to Ronin, causing the joyful expression on the latter's face to quickly freeze. The old blacksmith paced over to Ronin, scanning the various materials on the table.
"Star steel, wind pine, wind magic crystal, storm crystal... Oh, okay......" Raphael picked up a pale cyan fang, "and the fangs of the Wind Swallowing Python!
Luo Ning was in a bad mood: "Seventy-three thousand, I exchanged the money for building three complete sets of rare-level equipment! β
Raphael was not angry, but shook his head and guessed: "Not very old, not angry! Let me guess... The most difficult thing in the world to understand is a woman's heart. What can make you kid crazy like this, it's probably a beautiful little girl, and it's your best friend!"
"Phew! for the old disrespectful!Karen, where is my good friend?Is that the case......" Luo Ning roughly described the experience of seven days ago, but saw Raphael shaking his head and sighing, with a helpless expression of "You melon baby is hopeless!": "Since you know that she has strong self-esteem, why do you want to do such a stupid thing? This pile of materials is at least an epic wand! Isn't you just slapping her in the face when you give it to that little girl?!Stupid!Stupid!"
Hearing this, Luo Ning pondered, and Raphael took the opportunity to laugh and said: "And even if I don't stop you, you don't have enough ability to build it now! It's just a waste of materials! Of course, I know how to build epic equipment! As long as you practice the commonly used eighteen compound magic patterns well, I will consider teaching you this skill!"
"What a hassle!" Ronin pulled out the translucent mask that Danny Hawk had given him and put it on.
I saw a distorted and flickering transparent ripple appear all over his body, and the red-haired guy with upright and tough facial features suddenly turned into a little girl with blond hair and blue eyes, white skin, and delicate and beautiful facial features. It's a pity that Luo Ning just changed his crazy expression of wanting to kill as soon as he became like this. Otherwise, with his current appearance and figure, his charm value can continue to climb two steps.
"Well, no matter how many times I look at it, I think your appearance is more pleasing to the eye! Why don't you keep it like this in the future, and then recognize me as a godfather?" Raphael teased, squeezing his eyes.
Luo Ning stretched out his hand and rubbed his rather large chest twice, and his face subtly let go of his hand and said angrily: "you, help me figure it out! I can't always go out with a woman's body......"
Raphael spread his hands out, "Die to you! I said it earlier: this illusion mask is a defective product created by the Sky Furnace. Although it allows the wearer to randomly transform into another person, once the transformation is successful, the illusion on the surface of the mask will dissipate forever, and it will not be able to transform into another form when the mask is worn again. So there is no way, I can only say that you should be unlucky to become a little girl!"
Seeing Luo Ning's depressed expression, he chuckled lightly, turned his head and took out a dark green short staff: "However, there is a wind wand! Seeing that you kid is really pitiful, I will give it to you as a comfort!" Take it to Karen chick." She's a good girl, and you're not allowed to bully her. β
"Wind Wand... Could it be that Ronin remembered Raphael's words and deeds just now, and his heart warmed. Although Raphael looked rude and arrogant, Luo Ning thought about it carefully and felt that this stubborn old man was really good to him.
Especially after receiving this short staff with dark gold incantations engraved all over and a green storm faintly visible on the top, my heart felt even warmer. Because ordinary people may not be able to understand the thought spent in this short staff, but Luo Ning, who has a certain degree of forging skills, is clear. When Raphael forged the staff, he must have wanted to give it to someone who was extremely important to him.
"Raphael, thisβ" Ronin thought of this, and his half-stretched palm suddenly hesitated in mid-air.
Raphael's eyes widened vigorously, but the moment before he turned around, Luo Ning saw the water flash in his eyes: "It's just a gadget I made when I was young! You erase my mark and replace it with your mark, that chick doesn't know how to forge, she can't see it!"
Luo Ning looked grateful, and deliberately said: "I don't! If Karen doesn't like this wand, I'll pull you out and take the blame!"
"Stinky boy!" Raphael smiled with relief when he heard Ronin go out.
Today was the last time Ronin carried out the hiring assignment arranged by the Academy, and it was also the day when the big man in Neo's mouth arrived. Although Neo pretended to be mysterious that night, from the gossip in the streets and alleys, Ronin still learned the true identity of the big man he said - the current leader of the dragon heart stream - the dragon slayer knight "Arthur McNang".
In the Mercenary Guild, Ronin heard the story of how he fought against thousands of undead alone forty years ago, and in the tavern, Ronin learned the legend of him slashing the Flame Wurm thirty-five years ago and advancing to the rank of Dragon Slayer Knight. So there is no need to ask, Luo Ning has already listened to the entire life of this legendary warrior. Even gossip such as "he had a grumpy priest's wife" and "gave birth to two sons who were obsessed with alchemy" were no exception.
"I'd love to see him! that man is a living legend!" Zimmer twisted his thumb and middle finger quickly, twisting the red beard around his mouth into a bunch, and his eyes were unabashedly adoring.
"Congratulations! I heard that he will enter the city at noon today at the latest!" Luo Ning looked calm, then put down the hammer and thought: "But to be honest, I'm really interested in that dragon slaying sword! That should be the dragon slaying knight's exclusive long sword, right?"
"It's a heavy sword! two heavy swords as wide as a long sword!Every swing makes a storm that brings death!" Zimmer gestured like a child.
"Yes, yes, heavy sword!" Luo Ning knocked out the arm guard in his hand three or five times, and then poured out the goods in the space ring and piled them up in the corner. That's what his last hire assignment was about. He trusted this partner, so he did not hide his identity, and frankly removed the women's clothes and restored his original appearance.
"Okay, the equipment has been built, the commission has been completed, is there anything else? If it's okay, I'll rush to see the knights of Long Xinliu enter the city!"
Zimmer pinched the mustache on his lips, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Of course there is! I want to buy your illusion mask, but unfortunately you will never sell it, and I expect you to take advantage of the military business, and I must not force you to buy it." Oh, what a pity!"
"Then hurry up! Do you want to see Arthur McEnnan enter the city?"
......
About half an hour later, it was close to noon. On both sides of the main road in the south of the royal capital, a sea of people gradually gathered, and there were dense human heads everywhere as far as the eye could see. As soon as there were more onlookers, there were naturally more dishonest guys. Luo Ning heard the exclamations of the girls that sounded from time to time around him, as well as the occasional crisp slap sound, glanced down at the current "seductive figure", and decided to stay away from right and wrong, not to join in the excitement, and to fill his stomach first and hand over the commission.
He looked left and right, and found a sizable three-story tavern. But as soon as he stepped on the three steps in front of the tavern, he saw that the door was closed and suddenly opened, and an old figure with gray hair was thrown out of the door by two strong men, and rolled towards him. He dodged sideways, but was nearly hit in the head by a broken iron sword that flew out with him.
"Oops!" the old figure stopped at Luo Ning's feet, raised his head with difficulty, and revealed a resolute face that had been through vicissitudes. It's just that this fortitude is more like paper paste, and before three seconds have passed, it turned into a lewd face with those straight eyes.
Luo Ning followed his gaze and found that the old man's gaze was lingering on the snow-white skin on the edge of the ultra-short leather pants. Ashamed and angry, he jerked his right foot up and kicked the old man in the face.
