Chapter 61: It's Late at Night
Just as the situation in Sodima City was changing, Givenn was in the blacksmith shop in the forbidden space, in full swing, he was intently tapping a metal plate placed on the iron felt, and then gradually forging it into a shape close to the curves of the human body. The metal plate had apparently melted into the magic crystal, causing strange flashes of light whenever the hammer head hit the metal surface. Just as Jiwen adjusted the curvature of the metal surface, a figure with wings rushed into the shop in a hurry.
Jiwen looked up at the person and hurriedly shouted, "Quintus, come here, help me try the curvature of this breastplate." ”
But Quintus didn't care about the magic breastplate, but grabbed Jiwen and said excitedly: "Jiwen, your strange method has succeeded!"
Givens looked up and asked, "Really?"
Although he had been waiting for the news, when it did come, he couldn't believe his ears.
Quintus nodded, "Of course it's true! Your summoner was rescued, and my summoner still thinks someone in his guard has leaked the news." So today she got me tracking down what she thought was a leaker. ”
When Jiwen heard this, his heart was finally relieved, and the countless efforts he had made before finally had results at this moment. The archon Midoria finally reaped the fruits of what Givin had sown for her.
Thinking of this, Jiwen turned to ask, "I'm afraid that the temper of the consul is not very good, right?"
Quintus laughed maliciously: "It's not bad, it's bad, the wrinkles on her forehead have never loosened." ”
Givens couldn't help but laugh, it was the funniest news he'd heard today. Givens then asks about Adelia, but Quintus only hears rumors that she has been sent to the city jail by the sheriff.
When he heard that it was a city prison, Jiwen was relieved. There aren't many high-ranking sheriffs in the city, and Ares and Quinn are friends with Adella, and the old elf with the white beard who called himself the tribune last time has always favored Adelia. Even if you don't count their help, as Elder Curzon, Adella's life shouldn't be much worse.
The only thing left is how to wash away Adella's grievances and get her out of her prison.
But Jiwen couldn't think of any good way to deal with this matter for a while. Unless you can catch the demon and make him confess his guilt. But after the last encounter, Jiwen found that the demon's strength was far stronger than his own, and catching him was almost just a luxury.
Unless, unless you can get stronger.
This thought, which had been in the mind of Givens countless times, popped up again.
But he only relied on brute strength and spirit physique to take the lead in the confrontation with the demon, and the opponent of the few props designed before was also well understood, and to defeat the demon, he had to rely on other things.
Jiwen's gaze involuntarily looked at the strange long sword beside him. In order to prevent the blade from damaging the ground, Givens made a thick scabbard out of Reslyn magic steel, which held the sword firmly in place.
I still have a crystal disk in Sodima City that is being corrected, and if I can use the magic of that crystal disk, coupled with the power of this long sword, maybe I won't let that demon escape easily.
Just as Gilvin was distracted by the sword, Quintus had already picked up the half-finished breastplate and placed it on his chest to gesture.
"It's nice, it's a lot better than the one I used to wear. Approximate when it will be completed. Quintus was happy with the piece and couldn't wait.
"It's almost done, and there are only a few fasteners left uninstalled. Givens took the armor and continued to make adjustments.
"Aren't you resting, listen to Xavi, you've been spinning for days. Quintus was amazed at Given's efforts, and since that return from the Dragon's Plain, Gilvin had almost locked himself up in the blacksmith's shop. The furnace and the sound of forging in the blacksmith shop never stopped, and Gawain completed all the orders he had accumulated in one go, and took the time to help Quintus forge a new set of breastplates.
Givens smiled and handed the breastplate to Quintus, which had been curved again.
"The last time you helped me catch the sloth dolphin, it almost killed you, I can't let you and Harvey go with me for nothing. ”
Quintus didn't speak, just silently took the breastplate. The material for the cuirass appears to have been taken on credit from Harvey again. Looking at the dazzling flash on the breastplate, Quintus was even a little inexplicably moved.
This guy is a very emotional person, not too calculating like Harvey.
In this lonely forbidden god space, most of the summoned creatures were closed and numb, except for a few friends, he had not experienced this kind of friendship for a long time.
Quintus secretly glanced at Jiwen, a young man who had just arrived here, who had his own goals and was still full of energy. Unlike himself, the long time seems to have washed away his ambitions.
Isn't it time to help him?" thought crossed Quintus' mind.
He'd been trying to persuade Jiwen to adapt to the rules of this world like the old summoned beasts, but now he seemed to have changed his mind.
After hastily trying on the armor, Quintus suddenly said, "Jiwen, this armor fits perfectly, I don't think there is any need to change it." But do you want to take a break, how about we go outside and practice our swords?"
When Jiwen heard this, he immediately became interested. Quintus is a warrior who is good at using swords, and he knows little about swordsmanship except for a little sanda, so if he can get Quintus's guidance, this is a good opportunity to learn.
Just then, Harvey came to this point at some point, and he took over the conversation and gave Jivin a vacation.
"Go get some rest, there's nothing to do here for a while. ”
Given's efficiency in the past two days has made Harvey overjoyed, and now that the orders have been completed, he is happy to let Givens go.
Hearing this, Givens finally put down the hammer, then picked up the huge scabbard and patted Quintus on the shoulder.
"Let's go, let's go and practice the sword. ”
Givens followed Quintus to the square, and then used the magic sword according to the method taught by Birdman Quintus. But after training those basic movements in a row, Quintus didn't teach any more difficult sword skills. Quintus just let Givens practice on his own, and instead he crouched aside, as if thinking carefully about something.
After a long time like this, Quintus suddenly said, "Jiwen, you have to learn how to use the sword that suits you!"
"What?" asked Given, stopping swinging his sword.
"It would be a waste to let you use a longsword like a normal warrior. You're a spirit, and you have to play to your strengths. ”
"So what to do?"
Quintus didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically, "How did you fight before?"
Givens thought carefully about the previous battles, when he relied on the characteristics of the spirit body to get close to the enemy's body, and then attacked his opponent from an angle that was impossible for ordinary people. “
"You mean close-quarters?" asked Giving
"Yes, you don't need to fight your opponent, you just need to entangle with his body, and then swing your sword when he can't block and dodge!" Quintus smirked, and as a seasoned fighter, he could see the crux of the matter better.
"Also, we practiced the control of the body before, and now you have to fuse the strength and speed of the body with this sword. ”
After being reminded by Quintus, Given's practice of keeping his sword close to his body when moving, and then swinging it unexpectedly, in just half a day, Given's unique swing of the sword was already in shape. In this way, Govin began to train to use the longsword in the manner Quintus had described.
Since there has been no call from Adelia these days. Jiwen was able to use this precious time to hone his sword skills. In his spare time from sword practice, Jiwen looked through the pamphlets about the crystal disk and the origin of magic in his bedroom, trying to figure out the relationship between the crystal disk and the mysterious long sword.
Unlike the calm of the forbidden god space, Sodima City is already surging with an undercurrent at this moment.
The city was silent at night, and deep underneath this elven city, a black shadow with wings behind it was walking along a hidden tunnel. He was hunted by countless elven summoners and hedron warriors outside the city before he managed to shake off his tail and flee back to this hiding place in the city. When he reached the end of the tunnel, he quietly opened the secret door and walked into the damp and dark basement.
There seemed to be someone in the depths of the basement, and there was a faint sound of breathing in the darkness.
The shadow also noticed the breathing, and he immediately knelt down in the direction from which the breath came.
"Mentor, I'm back. The dark shadow said respectfully in a demonic voice.
There was a slight movement of limbs in the darkness on the other side of the shadow, and then a dry voice asked in demonic language, "Why did you come back so late, did you encounter the pursuit of the Archon Guard?"
"Mentor, do you know? The black shadow raised his head in surprise and asked puzzled. After all, he had just returned from the villa in the country, and no one should know what had happened on the way.
"Hmph, don't think you can hide it from me!" the dry voice immediately became irritated, and it asked, "Why do you disobey my orders?" After killing the elf named Enya, why don't you run away?"
The dark shadow's voice was nervous from the mentor's questioning, and he explained in a low voice, "Because I saw the Child of the Silver Moon, I want to bring her to you." ”
"Stupid!" the tone of the voice rose sharply, "If it was just to capture the Children of the Silver Moon, then I would have attacked the Summoning Academy directly in the first place, instead of preparing such a complicated summoning ritual!"
"I see, mentor. Hearing the anger in his mentor's tone, the shadow gave up arguing and assumed a respectful appearance.
"It is pointless to only have the bloodline of the silver moon. What we need is a child who has studied the mysteries of magic and is willing to be driven by our demons in order to achieve our great purpose. Do you remember, Lakabi. ”
The dry voice once again coldly reminded the demon Lakabi.
"I remember, mentor. ”
"Don't make this mistake next time, you just need to complete the order, and you must not make any more mistakes! ”
As the dry sound fell, an eerie scroll was thrown out of the darkness of the basement.
The demon had dark vision, so Lakabi reached out and grabbed the scroll, and as soon as he opened the leather scroll, flames began to ignite around the scroll, illuminating the scroll and devouring the scroll itself. LaKabi quickly memorized the words on the leather scroll, and then let the cold flames burn the scroll to ashes.
"Go and carry out the new order. The dry voice in the darkness seemed ready to end the conversation.
"But does that make sense? The Children of the Silver Moon are now in their own cells. Lakabi, the demon of the street's new order, couldn't help but ask.
"Of course it makes sense, I want to make the Son of the Silver Moon suffer from the hatred and curse of her people, and make her resentful, to hate everything in the world, our master had planted the first seed of depravity in her heart that night decades ago, and now all I have to do is water and nourish it. And then we just have to wait for that seed to blossom and bear fruit. ”
The voices in the darkness became more and more intense, and the words showed excitement and madness.
Looking at the Mentor's attitude, the Demon Lakabi didn't ask any more questions, he respectfully said goodbye to the Mentor, and then left the basement.
After stepping out of the basement, the demon Lacobi kept reading the command he had just seen in his head.
Although deep down he didn't approve of the Mentor's crazy plan, the bloody and brutal new order he received today made Lacabi involuntarily excited.
No matter how unsatisfying this plan may be, no matter how ridiculous the purpose of this order is, at least the content of this new order makes the demon Lakabi feel reluctant.
