Chapter Seventy-Four: Choices
Tang Dou was an antique reseller in his previous life. To put it nicely, he is a participant in the free trade in antiquities. To put it bluntly, he is a big fool who combines fraud, fraud, and black thirteen doors.
In Tang Dou's previous life, he had met too many arrogant guys who only had their own world in their eyes. Dealing with such a guy, Tang Dou can be said to be one to one.
Hephaestus clearly heard the words that made him extremely sensitiveβthe Ninefold Demon Pattern.
The demon pattern can only be possessed by the body materials of demon beasts above the platinum level, and it is not that all materials are available, only the most powerful part of the body of this demon beast has it. With the improvement of strength, the demon pattern will appear in a multi-layer set of pattern-like lines, which is the so-called double multi-demon pattern.
The more overlapping demon patterns, the stronger the strength of the demon beast during its lifetime, and the better the material.
The level of the demon beast before its death was at least the ninth level of jadeite, and it was possible to have the material of the ninefold demon pattern, which was definitely the dream of all masters. It is no exaggeration to say that whoever has such a material will make those masters who are obsessed with research and creation invert the construction fee, and they will break their heads.
That's why Ada was so excited to see Mara's materials.
And now it was Hephaestus' turn.
Hephaestus, who was originally arrogant with his nostrils facing the sky, seemed to have been immobilized, one foot was raised but frozen in mid-air, and his upper body was extremely difficult, so high that people were worried about whether he would twist his waist at an angle: "What did you just say? Ninefold Demon Pattern? β
"Get out of the way. Where did the madman old man come from? Lao Tzu is holding the material of the nine-fold demon pattern and is afraid that he will not be able to find a real master to build it? Tang Dou changed his previous gentle expression and looked at Ida with an extremely bad attitude: "Ada, this is the end of our friendship." You let this kind of white madman who judges people by his appearance pretend to be the great master Hephaestus. Hmph, I'm afraid I can't find a better master? I heard that the Constantine Chamber of Commerce has been in the business of making equipment lately, and it just so happens that I have an old relationship with their Mr. Wood, so I'm going to ask them! β
Tang Dou pushed Ida away with a bad attitude, picked up the package wrapped in Mara's carapace and was about to leave. As a result, the action was too big, and the package was scattered, and the Mara carapace inside fell to the ground.
As a true master, no matter what Hephaestus's character was, his strength was beyond doubt, and he recognized at a glance that Mara's carapace was a genuine ninefold demon pattern material, a material that he had searched for all his life but had not found, and his only hope for advancing to the Great Grandmaster.
If the real breakthrough of soul cultivation lies in battle, then the real breakthrough opportunity of the masters is at the moment when they use the best materials to create items. Hephaestus was already a grandmaster, but in order to become a great grandmaster, to become an existence like the legendary Grand Master Van Bitten, the material of the Ninefold Demon Pattern was his only chance.
It can be said that if he could get a piece of material with the Ninefold Demon Pattern, Hephaestus was willing to exchange all his possessions for it. And now, several pieces of ninefold demon pattern materials that were enough to build full-body armor appeared in front of his eyes.
For a moment, Hephaestus' eyes could not move.
"Yes, it's true, it's really the material of the Ninefold Demon Pattern. Oh my God, I've finally seen the material of the Ninefold Demon Pattern. Mine, this must be mine! Hephaestus said and pounced on Mara's carapace.
But Tang Dou was faster, and snatched all the materials into his arms with a dodge, and then wrapped them again, not revealing any gaps.
Relatively no one recognized the difference as soon as Dogray went crazy, although Hephaestus could boil eggs with hot eyes, he did not rush over to grab it like Dogray, but walked in front of Tang Dou with a calm face and rubbing his hands flatteringly: "This distinguished guest." The old man is Hephaestus, the real Hephaestus, I dare to say, the entire Blizzard, no, the entire Purple Gold Country, there will be no one better at building armor than me. Putting your materials elsewhere is definitely a waste, a shameful waste. It's just me! β
He slapped his chest heavily: "Only I, Hephaestus, can create armor to your heart's content!" You must give me this material, otherwise you will be sorry for the ninefold demon pattern on this material! β
Tang Dou looked at Hephaestus with a smile. At this time, the old man with the bamboo pole was still playing with his heart, compared to the guy in front of him, Tang Dou preferred the impulsive and straightforward, but not scheming Dogray.
"Are you really Hephaestus?" Tang Dou looked at the other party with a "shocked" expression, and his exaggerated appearance seemed to be about to offer his knees at any time.
"Of course, I am Hephaestus. If you don't believe me, ask them. Oh, my dear niece of Ada, tell this distinguished guest that I am the greatest Armor-Crafting Grandmaster, Hephaestus! Hephaestus now remembered that Ida was so good, and he called Ada's name very numbly, pulling the relationship, completely forgetting the face he had just had with Ada.
Ida snorted disdainfully in her heart, but she didn't dismantle the stage at this time, but pretended to be very sincere: "Brother Di, he is really Master Hephaestus!" β
Hephaestus immediately straightened his chest and stomach, looked at Tang Dou without squinting, and put on the appearance of "I am the legendary Hephaestus, come and worship me".
"Oh!" Tang Dou dragged out a long note, and just when Hephaestus thought that Tang Dou was going to bow his head and bow down, and then handed the Mara carapace to him, Tang Dou turned his head and said to the girl behind him: "My dear Sasha and Rui Ji, I suddenly feel that you don't need any armor, why don't we make this carapace into a weapon?" I've always felt that offense is the best defense! β
"Everything is up to the master!" The soft girl said softly. The whole face was hidden under the long hood, but Tang Dou's eyes were sharp, and he could tell from the other party's slightly flickering eyes that she was smiling.
Of course, the elf beauty knew that Tang Dou was playing tricks on the other party, so she was happy to cooperate, and nodded with a clever smile: "If it's a weapon, build me a flying shield!" β
The Flying Shield is a very small round shield, the smallest is only the size of a palm, and the largest is only a foot in diameter, in addition to having a strong defense. Another feature of the flying shield is that because of its unique wind power shape, as well as smooth and sharp edges, this thing can fly out like a frisbee and hurt people, and then automatically fly back.
But building a shield out of Mara's carapace is just as extravagant as making a toothpick out of diamonds.
Hephaestus' face turned green as he listened.
But that's not the end of it.
Tang Dou continued to mend the knife and looked at Xiao Lori: "Xiangru, do you think this thing looks like a big bowl?" It just so happens that you have one less big bowl of fruit, so how about we use this bowl to hold it? β
Where does little Lori know anything, hearing Tang Dou say this, she immediately nodded: "Okay, okay." This bowl is so big, Xiangru can hold a lot of fruits. You can invite your sisters to eat, and you can eat a lot of fruits with your brother! And it's round, I love it! β
"Okay, that's it. How cute it is! Tang Dou laughed, holding Mara's carapace and leaving.
"No, you can't do this, you are a waste, this is a shameful waste!" Hephaestus was so angry that the three corpses jumped.
"It's my stuff, I like it, I'm happy to. Rich, capricious! Tang Dou glanced at Hephaestus and said unspeakably mocking: "Do you have an opinion?" β
"Of course I have an opinion, you can't waste the materials of this Ninefold Demon Pattern like this. I'm telling you, I won't let you out of here if you don't give me this material! Hephaestus was so angry that he began to talk nonsense.
The faces of the two acquaintance girls changed, and the shrewd one glanced at the other, and the two silently stepped aside, looking at their noses and noses, and without saying a word, as if nothing had happened.
Ada's phoenix eyes narrowed, revealing a mysterious smile.
This Hephaestus is so proud that even the people of the Blizzard family sometimes can't do anything about him. In terms of strength and technology, Hephaestus deserves to be the pinnacle of the industry, but when it comes to character, this guy is really not very popular in Blizzard.
It's just that there are a lot of weirdos in Blizzard, so everyone doesn't care much about him.
But this time, if Hephaestus really made a big deal about it, then he would definitely be the one who suffered in the end.
Tang Dou showed a big smile on his face, as if he had encountered something happy. No one could see how he moved, but in the next instant, the ink sword that had been hanging from his waist was already on Hephaestus's neck.
"I remember a sentence in Article 10 of the Blizzard Rules that said, 'If a Blizzard employee embezzles customer materials, threatens customers with kickbacks, and forces customers to transact with Blizzard.' The customer is free to dispose of the employee by any means. Blizzard guarantees that any customer at Blizzard will be treated with the fairest, fairest, safest and free transactions', dear Ada, I remember right? Tang Dou squinted at Ada.
Ida knew that Tang Dou was going to make a move, but she really didn't expect Tang Dou to use force directly, and she was startled at first, and after seeing the narrowness in Tang Dou's eyes looking at her, she put her mind at ease and smiled faintly: "Yes!" β
"So, I think you heard the threat that this old gentleman Hephaestus threatened me just now, right?" Tang Dou smiled happily.
Ida shrugged noncommittally, not sure, but not denying either.
Tang Dou smiled: "If you don't speak, I'll take you by default." So......" He looked back at Hephaestus, "this self-proclaimed master of the Purple Gold Kingdom, are you ready to die?" I have a few options here, one is to cut off your head directly with a sword, the second is to cut open your stomach, and the third is to pick off the tendons and veins of your limbs. The fourth is to peel off your skin. Ah, by the way, I also have a large sword, a suitable sword, a dismantling knife, a horn dagger, and even a throwing knife to choose from, and if you don't like it, I can also provide you with hand-to-hand business. What do you think? β
Hephaestus was scared to pee. (To be continued.) )
