Chapter 18: The Weapons of the Last Life
The two chatted all the way and finally returned to the center of the academy.
A week passed quickly.
Soon the day came for Mick to get his weapons.
Originally, Mick planned to walk over by himself, but Marianne still thoughtfully rode over with Mick in a steam car.
Mick really didn't want to trouble Marianne anymore.
"Actually, I'll just go alone. ”
"What's the matter? I spent 60 contribution points to buy a weapon and still don't let Wu take a look?"
"I'm thinking that two people will ask for four contribution points back and forth, which is not worth it. ”
"Let me tell you this, as long as I'm in school, you don't have to worry about the contribution value, all you have to do is improve your strength, understand?
"Haha!
Mick couldn't help but laugh. There are too few people who call him a brother, but Xia Yasu does have a sister, so this brother reminds him of the past.
After arriving at the forging department, the boss was waiting for them.
"Here come the two. The weapon has been forged. ”
The boss led the two of them to the weapons showroom.
In the distance, Mick saw a display shelf covered with a red cloth, and the outline under the red cloth was the weapon he had been thinking about all day and night.
The boss walked over to the weapon and spread his hands, pointing to the red cloth and motioning for Mick to uncover it himself.
Mick understood, walked to the side and jerked the red cloth off.
There are two knives neatly placed on the shelf, the knives are nearly one and a half meters long, the blade is shiny and shiny, and the handle of the knife is carved with a fierce beast that Mick doesn't know, which looks extremely powerful.
The handles of the two knives are connected by iron chains two fingers thick.
"Is that what you want?"
Mick didn't speak, but nodded, then still rubbing the knives in his hands.
"We have a training room here, would you like to try the knife there?"
"Good!"
Mick picked up both knives, his hands shaking a little.
The weight of the knife is somewhat heavy for Mick now. But it's also within Mick's range.
The two followed the boss to a quiet room, which was used by the forging department to test various weapons, and it was extremely strong.
Mick walked into the room, while Marianne and the boss walked into the next monitoring room, which was separated by a layer of glass, from which the situation in the quiet room could be clearly seen.
There are some wooden stakes here. The stake was littered with knife cuts and bullet holes from guns.
Mick took a deep breath, gently loosened the knife in his left hand, and then shook it vigorously with his right hand.
The knife in his left hand circled Mick's body with the help of the iron chain, and then slashed straight at the stake.
"Boring"
With a crisp sound, the half-meter-thick stake was cut in half by a knife.
Mick tugged the chain, pulling himself towards the stake, and the knife in his left hand detached from the stake and returned to Mick's left hand.
Mick then slashed at the stake with both knives.
"Click"
The stake was split into three sections.
"Miss, this kid is not ordinary. ”
"You can see it. ”
"I didn't have the convenience to tell you last time, first of all, this weapon is extremely rare, and there are very few people who can use this weapon in history, and it can even be said that it is only a handful, and it is mostly found in the Cloud Peak Country. The last person to use this weapon was the head of the Skywalker Knights at the top of the clouds, Xia Yasu, who appeared after he was beheaded for treason a few months ago, and he also knew about the molten stone. And that move, do you think an apprentice fighter can do it........?
"Do you suspect he has something to do with that Shiasu?"
"It's just a suspicion, after all, I've only heard of Xia Yasu's name, but the leader of the Skywalker Knights can't be a child, but I can be sure that he has something to do with the Cloud Peak Realm. ”
Marianne was silent.
"Miss, what I want to say is ......."
"I know, but I know it, but I trust my judgment. Marianne interrupted her boss and didn't let him continue.
"That's good. ”
The boss nodded helplessly, he knew that Marianne couldn't be unworried about Mick's identity, but she could only choose to pretend to be confused for the sake of her guild.
At this moment, Mick walked out of the ashram, and the two of them hurried out to greet them.
"How's it going?" the boss asked.
"Yes, it's easy to use, but it's still a bit heavy for me right now. ”
The boss looked at Marianne as if she was winking at her, but she was unmoved. The boss had to open his mouth himself.
"Young man, I have always wanted to ask you, why did you know this weapon and use it so skillfully?"
"My father taught me. ”
Mick knew that he was too excited to get the knife, and that he had exposed his strength for a while, which was likely to arouse suspicion, so he could only attribute everything to his non-existent father.
"What is Lingzun?"
"It's inconvenient to disclose this because my father's identity is somewhat ...... Not too ......."
"Oh, I know, I know!" the boss didn't press on.
"Let's go, we're on a mission tomorrow. Marianne reminded.
"By the way, the trick you just used in the ashram is really powerful. ”
"Really? That trick is called Phoenix Qi Fei. I still can't use it well. ”
We're heading to Hill City early tomorrow morning, so we'll meet at the academy gate at six o'clock in the morning, but don't be late. ”
Marianne has been sullen since returning to the guild.
Foss, sensing that something was wrong with her, stepped forward to ask.
"President, what's wrong with you?"
"Foss, there's a question, do you say that a person's identity is important or what kind of person he is?"
Of course, it matters what kind of person he is, why are you asking that? Forslian replied without thinking.
Marianne didn't tell Foss about it, but nodded.
"You also rest early, and you have to get up early tomorrow. ”
With that, he turned and left.
The next morning, the four of them gathered at the gate of the academy.
Mick the warrior, Marianne the gunner, Foss the physician, Sumel the assassin.
The group boarded the steam wagon bound for Hill City.
The steam car at Bright Academy is free for students who are out on a mission.
In the car, Marianne talked to several people about the flow of the mission.
She held a notebook with the objectives of the mission and her own investigation of the mission
"The wanted man we need to arrest this time is called Rand, a half-orc, who was wanted for robbing a large number of diamonds from the Imperial Jewels, and fled to Hill City to arrest them, but the whereabouts of the jewel diamonds are unknown, and he escaped from prison after killing two guards some time ago. Now I don't know where to go. ”
"The Imperial Jewel Vault has been robbed!"
"Yes, don't be too surprised, there are many imperial treasures in the whole country, and these treasures are large and small, the big ones are like the treasury, and the small ones are even smaller than the private banks. So it's not surprising to be robbed," Marianne explained.
"I don't know where to go, how to catch him. Sumel asked.
After his escape, the cities around Hill City were quickly placed under martial law, so he couldn't go anywhere else but hide in the middle of nowhere. ”
"So now the point of the matter is not knowing if he has an accomplice. ”
"I think there's a good chance he's an accomplice, otherwise how could he be alone with so many jewels and diamonds," Foss speculated.
"So our mission this time is that if he has no accomplices and just escapes from prison, we will arrest him, and if he has accomplices and there are many of them, we will cooperate with the security forces of Hill City to eliminate him in one fell swoop. ”
Hearing Marianne's introduction, Mick fell into thought.
"Can you show me your notebook?" said Mick
"Mick, do you have any ideas?" asked Marianne.
Marianne handed the notebook over, and Mick studied it carefully, but found nothing.
"It's nothing, it just feels like something is wrong, as if something is missing, but I can't tell. ”
"Is there anything wrong with this mission?"
"No, no, no, I'm just...... Forget it, I can't say it either!" Mick didn't know where his feelings were coming from.
"Okay, when you remember what you're telling me. ”
The four of them spent two days in the car, and after two days, everyone finally saw the outline of Hill City.
But just as they were about to enter Hill City.
But they saw an army coming out of the city of Hill. The number of the team was nearly a hundred, although it was not a large number, but according to Marianne's research, this was already the majority of the soldiers in Hill City.
In the center of the procession was a silver carriage, which was very eye-catching, because it shone brightly in the sun, and it was not known whether it was silver or silver.
"Is there anything else going on?" asked Mick.
"Go up and ask. ”
Marianne stepped forward.
"Hello, we are students of the Bright Academy, may I ask what happened in the city of Hill, why are you gathering troops?"
The leading general was obviously a little upset because he was blocked by a few children.
