Deep in the mountains, the organization of the Great Sword, "Stave", is hidden in it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 And in the depths of the organization, there is something special about it. The meadows surrounded by mountains are blocked by sudden breaks. Like a waterfall, the pitch-black rock walls and gray-brown rocks rushed down and crashed abruptly into the trees. Sulfona had been here to draw a sword, and had stopped at the foot of this cliff. Behind the cliff was the blazing lava and the fire from the center of the earth, where the swordsmiths forged their great swords. Many men in black shirts were walking around the cliff. Before they actually came to the underground forge, the overwhelming heat wave already made people sweat profusely. These people are all helpers in casting the big sword, and their **** muscles and bronzed skin are the solid guarantee of the quality of the big sword.

However, a man wearing a black round hat and wearing a tight body from top to bottom suddenly appeared on the path that stretched out of the cliff. The surrounding helpers and apprentices all bowed their heads respectfully to him, knowing that the man in costume was an agent of the organization. The agent is responsible for direct contact with the fighters and the transmission of information to the fighters. In addition, agents often occupy high positions in the organization's leadership system.

The agent in the black hat is Lulu. Lulu shrugged his shoulders and cursed the damn heat wave in his heart. He looked a lot like taking off his coat, but thought it looked stupid. Lulu glanced around at the helpers and apprentices. Perhaps only one of a hundred apprentices can produce a qualified swordsmith. There is no need for Lulu to focus on these little people. But he smiled at those around him—the smile that Lulu always wore on his face, mixed with equal weight of hypocrisy and politeness. The surrounding apprentices saw Lulu's smile, and their stiff expressions began to thaw.

"My lord, who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for ......," Lulu touched his chin and paused, then continued, "I'm looking for the old man of the sword." ”

"Old Man ...... Sword"

The apprentice who greeted him enthusiastically was a man with a big brain. He contacted Lulu just to make friends with the top of the organization, and for the sake of his own future, he was naturally not stupid. Although the apprentice had never heard of the old man of the sword, he quickly understood what Lulu meant.

"Do you mean the former Mr. Sword?" "He's an old man, and he doesn't care about anything." If you need to ask about something, go to the current Mr. Sword. Mr. Sword is very easy-going now, and you will be satisfied. I guess he's supposed to be in ...... right now"

"Stop." Rulu interrupted the apprentice, "You just have to answer my question. Where is Old Man Sword now? ”

He ...... He was now on the last floor of the forge and said he was going to build his own greatsword. He's been locked up there for a long time......"

The apprentice didn't know that he had angered the agent, so he bowed his head and winced in response to Lulu's question. Lulu nodded slightly, then walked over to him and patted him on the shoulder.

"We don't ask about your swordsmiths." Lulu thought for a moment and continued, "But listening to your tone, you really like Mr. Sword very much?" ”

"Of course, everyone here loves Mr. Sword. He was very kind to us, unlike the old man who was always harsh and dissatisfied. I know Mr. Jian very well, and although we have a difference in status, we are also friends in private. ”

"That's right."

Lulu smiled at the apprentice, and the apprentice felt that the atmosphere had eased again, and he couldn't help but laugh too.

"Your Excellency, you are also very kind. Mr. Sword, like you, laughs at us a lot. Sometimes we make mistakes, and he understands us...... One time I accidentally got the wrong size of the sword embryo, and Mr. Sword just locked me up for a few days. If it was Mr. Sword before, I'm afraid I'd be hit by the board! ”

"I see. Looks like you really like Mr. Sword. ”

"Of course, Mr. Sword and I also have a good relationship. He said I was the best apprentice and had a great future ahead ......"

The smile on Lulu's face was even thicker.

"Then when he defected to the organization, why didn't he take you away by the way?"

The apprentice's face turned pale, and Lulu patted him on the shoulder again. Each stroke felt as if a hammer had been slammed into the shoulder, as if he wanted to dig his body into the ground. Lulu ignored the poor creature and walked past his shadow towards the forge.

The so-called forge is actually an area where the swordsmith draws out the magma from the center of the earth and tempers the great sword with the help of the power of magma. The magma is flowing endlessly, and the further down it goes, the hotter it gets, and the more difficult it is to control the heat. There is a circular corridor around the lava, and that's where the swordsmith forged his sword. The average apprentice only needs to cast the sword embryo in the top layer of the forge, and some skilled assistants will cast the long sword on the second layer, which has not been specially quenched by the great sword, and can only be regarded as a semi-finished product. But the half-finished greatsword is already sharper and stronger than the longsword sold in the human world. All that remains is for Mr. Sword to lead the experienced swordsmith in the final process, but even then, the lowest level of firepower will not be used.

As he walked down the stairs, he felt the lenses on his eyes distort from the hot air. The last floor of the forge was empty, and in the ring of corridors a rickety figure faced the lava. Although Mr. Sword has silver hair, the muscles on his body are still slightly bulging. He swung the small silver hammer in his hand, and the hammer struck the crimson iron in front of him with a clear echo. Mr. Sword frowned when he heard this.

"The resonance of this voice -- it's kind of weird. Is anyone coming...... It's not time to deliver food. ”

"I've got something to look for you."

Lulu touched his forehead with his hand, a habit he used to do when he was surprised. As an agent, coming and going without a trace is their most basic skill. In fact, even a warrior of Virginia's calibre could not have noticed Lulu's arrival. However, his disguise is seen through by Mr. Sword, which makes Lulu decide to talk to Mr. Sword more solemnly. Mr. Sword heard the voice and turned his head. His beard and hair were a mess and looked like he hadn't been groomed for a long time. Only the eyes buried in the eyebrows are surprisingly bright. Mr. Sword glanced at Lulu with his piercing eyes, and then looked back at the red-hot iron in a dull manner.

"The people of the organization...... Didn't my apprentices stop you? I said, I'm retired and don't bother with the organization. So don't come to me for you annoying guys. I just want to forge the sword I want now. ”

"It's a pity that your apprentice isn't as obedient as you think." Lulu shrugged, "After you retired, a lot of things changed. ”

The old man put down the hammer in his hand and carefully put the red-hot iron in his hand back near his eyes. He washed his hands in the sink beside him, then wiped his face again. Erasing the dust, Mr. Sword revealed a face that had experienced many vicissitudes, and the working environment of the swordsmiths was very harsh and the workload was also very large, so they all aged quickly. Mr. Sword looked back at Lulu. Lulu suddenly felt that it was great to have sunglasses on. He didn't have the courage to look directly into the old man's eyes, as if he had opened a blade.

"Looks like something serious is going on."

"One of the warriors defected."

"Isn't it common for your organization to defect as a soldier?"

The old man sneered, and Lu Lu had to laugh bitterly in embarrassment.

"She's a proud disciple of Virginia, the current No.1...... She was originally a noble girl and later ......" Lu Lu saw the silence on the old man's face, knowing that he didn't understand the meaning behind these words and didn't care about it, so he directly pointed out the key to the problem, "She and your son defected together. ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, as if he had heard something incredible.

"You say...... My son, let go of Mr. Sword's mission...... Defected? ”

"Don't get excited, we haven't figured out what's going on yet. But that's just the way it is, there is no one in the organization who can't find him. He has a physical disability and will not leave the organization unless there are special circumstances. After all, the outside world is too chaotic. ”

The old man didn't seem to listen to Lulu at all, and he stroked the somewhat hot ground with his hand. He stroked it over and over again, a fine rustle of his rough fingers rubbing against the equally rough ground.

"He promised me, and he still has his inheritance to pay me." The old man's face seemed to be a year old all of a sudden, and he closed his eyes and muttered to himself, "That's his karma, he should know." If he turns his back on his karma, he will not be able to move an inch, he ......"

"Listen to me, I know you're excited right now, but please calm down." Lu Lu hurriedly began to reassure the old man of the sword, "He may have been bewitched by that warrior, after all, in my opinion, that warrior is very beautiful. Or is there something else your son is struggling with...... He...... After all, he has a criminal record, doesn't he? He had also left the organization abruptly before, and he had been walking for more than ten years before returning. I wonder if you can tell us where he is now......"

"Impossible!"

The old man stood up from the ground all of a sudden, and his beard fluttered in anger.

"You don't know him at all, he's not going to be the kind of person who is swayed by others! If he doesn't want to go, he won't leave even if he dies. Besides, he still has something to repay. ”

The old man of the sword grabbed Lulu. Lulu was not easy to dodge, and his arm was grasped by the big hand of the old man with a sword. The old man of the sword pulled Lu Lu forward, but Lu Lu's struggle and persuasion were all useless, and finally he simply gave up. Lu Lu knew that Old Man Sword was a bit reckless and savage, but he was the one who knew Mr. Sword best. Although Mr. Jian treats people kindly, there are few people who really come to his heart. Like the apprentices they met at the cliff gate before, many people think that they and Mr. Sword are close friends, and in the end, they may not even know what Mr. Sword really thinks.

The old man walked faster and faster, and his already ruddy face became hotter and hotter, looking a little oozing. The two of them walked from the lowest level of the forge to the first level of the forge . The surrounding apprentices and helpers all looked surprised when they saw Lu Lu and the old man of the sword. Lulu straightened his hat so that he wouldn't look so embarrassed. Lulu wanted to smile kindly and hypocritically at the people around him, but the old man glared at him, and the apprentices scattered. Lulu shrugged his shoulders and began to look around. He didn't come to the Swordsmith's territory very often, because he thought it was hot and vulgar, and it didn't smell good. But when he looked closely at the hallway, he showed a surprised expression. Lulu tried to stroke his forehead, and then calmed down.

"These ...... It's all swords? ”

Rulu trembled and pointed to the walls around him—no, it was what he thought was walls. Those fine and dense textures Lulu thought they were decorations before, but when he looked closer, he realized that they were all textures on the sword body. The walls of this floor are made up of swords. Sword after sword finishes and weaves together to form an impregnable wall. The luster of the metal was obscured by their kind, and the edge of the sword crept with it, so Lulu didn't get the first time to feel the wonderful landscape. Like Lulu, the old man seemed to be surprised, his eyes twitching.
