The main altar of the craftsman's 'gate' is located in the center of Dancheng, which is a huge castle-like building, in the middle of Dancheng, no matter where you are in, you can look up and see the tall, magnificent and majestic building. It's like the bell tower of the pig 'hole' that marks 'sex' in Tucheng.

Along the central street, we led the horses to the big 'gate' of the castle.

"Stop, who are you!" just stopped slightly, and soon a few guards with knives surrounded them, seeing their steady steps, long breath, and solemn expressions, at a glance it was a super strong Akatsuki-level warrior, although they did not 'draw' the knife in their hands at this moment, but I could feel that only a few of us had a slight movement, and it would definitely be the first time to be attacked by their most violent attack. In the distance, near the big 'gate', several mages and Taoist priests and archers were also eyeing each other.

"It's me, Brother Qiu!" Dongguan came out from behind me.

"It's Dongguan!" The leading soldier chuckled, "Why do you want to come to see Uncle Lu today?" "It seems that this Brother Qiu and Dongguan are still 'very' familiar.

"Sort of!" Dongguan said, pulling me in front of him and said, "But I came today to bring the person Uncle Lu wants to see the most." ”

"The person I wanted to see the most. That Brother Qiu looked at me suspiciously, then looked at Dongguan and said, "Does Uncle Lu know?" ”

"I don't know. Dongguan chuckled: "But you just need to talk to Uncle Lu about Dongguan and find the person he has been waiting for for more than a year." ”

"You kid. Although Brother Qiu was full of smiles, he did not relax his vigilance at all, and glanced at me lightly, but his eyes were much softer than just now. "Please include more of the offense just now." ”

I also nodded slightly, which was considered a return of the courtesy, but Long Xin, Long Zhan and Long Qi were unhappy, and it could be seen that they were very wrong with this person called Brother Qiu.

"Wait a minute, I'll make an announcement!" Brother Qiu said as he turned around and walked quickly towards the castle, while the remaining five warriors, although they didn't have the fierce look they had just now, were still staring at us with full vigilance.

'Make' me and Long Xin are so uncomfortable.

"Don't blame them!" Dongguan looked apologetic: "You don't know, in this world, many people want to assassinate Uncle Lu, therefore, for everyone who enters and leaves the main altar, they are like this, even if I come here, I can't carry any weapons." ”

I see, if you think about it carefully, there is nothing strange about it, since Lu Tong is the head of the contemporary craftsman's 'door', his identity is naturally extraordinary, if it is in modern times, it is definitely a figure like Bill Gates, and this level of vigilance is nothing at all.

At the moment, he didn't care, and nodded slightly, indicating understanding.

Soon, Brother Qiu hurriedly walked out of the castle.

"Uncle Lu, please come in. "Brother Qiu looked at me solemnly, as if he was quite curious about my origin, and he was a little uncomfortable staring at me, so he had to subconsciously nod slightly.

Dongguan casually wrapped his glaive and space and 'handed it over' to a soldier beside him, and Long Xin and I naturally did the same, each 'handing' their weapons and packages to the guards beside them.

From the outside, this is a magnificent, majestic, huge castle, which makes people feel a kind of awe-inspiring aura from the pavement, as if a giant beast perched on a high place looks down on the common people. Inside, however, it gives people a concise, unpretentious architectural style. There is nothing too extravagant, the intricate reliefs, and the ground is only made of thick square slabs of boulders, which make it feel that even if a train has driven on it, it is impossible to leave any trace of it. I couldn't see any other walls than the one connected by the large iron 'gate' behind me, because it was so big that it was like being in a dense wood, and at the end of the open passage in the forest was a towering building. In front of it is a statue like a huge dragon's head, and at the dragon's mouth of the huge statue is a large 'door' made of 'fine' iron, which looks like the steel teeth in the dragon's mouth, with an incomparable deterrent power.

The iron 'door' had already been opened, and Brother Qiu led a few of us to continue walking towards He. Soon walked through this passage of about 30 meters long Longkou, until this time, we had the opportunity to see, the main body of the castle hidden behind the Longkou, although from the outside we knew that this was an amazingly large castle, but until I saw his main body with my own eyes, it still made me, a traveler from the modern metropolis, stunned. It's hard to imagine that there is such a high level of architectural skill in this world. The whole castle is surprisingly large, the height alone is the height of a modern twelve-story building, and as for the volume of the main body of the castle, I don't know, because now I can't see the whole picture of the castle at all. It is very different from the grandeur, majesty, and strangeness that you see outside. After entering the main body of the castle. I found the decoration to be exquisite, and resplendent in gold, which is completely different from the architectural style of other places on the continent of Fama. We were now walking down a hallway paved with a red carpet in the middle of the hall. The walls around the hall are lined with a pair of colorful murals, and although I don't have many artistic cells, I intuitively know that every one of you should be priceless, a masterpiece. Supporting the main body of the hall are four golden 'color' stone pillars as thick as a person, and the surface of the stone pillars is carved with several intertwined golden 'color' dragons with hideous faces. It is somewhat similar to the coiled dragon carving in the Forbidden City in Beijing. At the top of the hall hangs a map of the celestial rivers composed of countless precious gems. Looking up, it was the same as the astrological chart in the night sky, which was staggering, obediently, how many gems do you need to make up such a pair. It can be seen how amazing Lu Tong's wealth is.

After passing through the hall, we came to a relatively small secondary hall, which was only small compared to the palatial hall in front of it. Actually, it's still very big here.

However, unlike the outside, there is no extravagant decoration here, and in the center of the listening room is a large field, which is drawn into a huge square by a striking thick gold line. In the corner near the wall, there are rows of knives, guns, and 'sticks' of all kinds of weapons. I didn't look closely, but I could tell by feeling that the weapons on those racks must be very rare and excellent. On the other side of the wall, there are only four weapons 'sticked' into the weapon rack. To my surprise, one of them was exactly the same as my Hundred Battles Knife. The other three, just by looking at the appearance, I recognized that they should be the legendary dragon slayer, the blade of the overlord, and the angry slash.

And on the weapon rack near the west wall, there are only two slender swords, one is red, the style is simple, and it is the same shape as the legendary red blood demon sword. The other one that shocked me even more was my fencing sabre. Obviously, it was in a place similar to a practice room.

"Red Blood Demon Sword!" I was taken aback and couldn't help but lean towards the corner.

Hearing my exclamation, Long Xin and Long Qi and the others also looked incredulous: "Isn't the whereabouts of the Red Blood Demon Sword unknown?"

"The sword is slender, and the whole body is red. Jin Hong muttered to herself, "It is indeed very similar to the legendary Red Blood Demon Sword. ”

"But it always feels like something is missing. I subconsciously said.

"There is no spiritual 'sex'. A deep male voice rang out.

"Yes, this sword has no lifeless 'waves', it's just an empty shell, and the Red Blood Demon Sword shouldn't just look like this. I subconsciously responded, but soon realized who the voice was.

turned around, but at some point, there was already a tall, simple-looking, and calm middle-aged man standing behind him. But what is surprising is that this person is actually full of silver hair. If it weren't for the fact that his face never looked more than fifty years old, I wouldn't have been sure of his age. But even so, the occasional flashes of vicissitudes and decline in those brown 'colored' eyes still made me feel at a loss. It seems that this man is not as experienced as he is at the age of his exposure.

I've never seen a person with such a wealth of emotions and thoughts in their eyes. This is a pair of vicissitudes of life, seeing through life and death, but with an indescribable firm and determined persistence, two diametrically contradictory thoughts are completely integrated in these eyes. I don't know what this man has been through, but I'm sure he wasn't an ordinary person. For a moment, I thought of four words--Divine Craftsman Lu Tong. And beside Lu Tong stood another young warrior. Dressed as a standard Akatsuki warrior. is about thirty years old, and just at a glance, you can see that this young warrior has extraordinary skills and strength, and is definitely far above Chijiao.

As I looked at the person in front of me, two pairs of strange eyes were also looking at me. In particular, the silver-haired middle-aged man had an inquiring look.

"Lu Tong senior. At the moment of awakening, I hurriedly bowed and bowed. And the same is true for Long Xin and Long Qi and others. The full head of silver hair instantly reminded me of the legend of the Red Blood Demon Sword that Dongguan had said, the story of the contemporary god craftsman who lost his head overnight because of the death of his two elder brothers.

"Uncle Lu!" only Dongguan had a cheerful look.

"Very nice young man. Lu Tong chuckled and looked at me: "You are the stars." ”

The young warrior on the side also nodded slightly as a greeting. And I also bowed slightly.

"En!" I nodded, unlike what I imagined, Lu Tong did not give people a very strong and atmospheric sense of ***, but made people feel close and easy-going, at least I don't feel very nervous now.

"Being able to see at a glance that this sword is not a real Red Blood Demon Sword shows that you are a person who understands swords. Lu Tong said and casually took out the crimson long sword and said: "Actually, this sword is just a copy of the appearance of the Red Blood Demon Sword, but even so, the materials used are exactly the same as the Red Blood Demon Sword." Speaking of this, Lu Tong looked at me: "But why are there so many differences between swords forged from the same material?" ”

............ I didn't know what to say!

And Long Qi and Long Xin retreated very interestingly, they knew very well that the person Lu Tong wanted to see was me. And with their knowledge, it is impossible to answer Lu Tong's question. What's more, even if they have an understanding, they don't dare to talk nonsense. After all, Lu Tong's obsession with sword forging is well known. No one can guarantee what the result will be if you answer a little carelessly, and the best way is to obediently shut up.

"The seniors have won the prize. I knew that now was not the time to be in a daze, so I hurriedly used my brain to organize a suitable statement: "Just now it was just an intuition, I believe that no matter who has heard of the legend of the Red Blood Demon Sword, it is difficult to 'mix' the sword in front of him with the legendary Red Blood Demon Sword." ”

"Haha!" Lu Tong smiled lightly and handed the sword to me casually: "What you said may have some truth. I reached out and took the crimson sword. Subconsciously, I felt the energy contained in the sword.

There is no doubt that this sword is the best one I have ever seen, but it only slightly transmitted a trace of fighting energy into it, as if the energy of the entire sword was completely 'excited', and the sword body immediately appeared, a strange liquid light, as if it was a burning fire sword. This strange energy seemed to be connected with the Dou Qi energy in my body, and every time I breathed and breathed, it was closely connected to my pulsation.

"But even so, this is still a rare good sword. I couldn't help but blurt it out.

"Yes, in terms of casting craftsmanship and materials, this sword is enough to be called the best in the world. Lu Tong sighed with emotion: "But, after all, it's just a dead thing." ”

"En!" I also deeply agree with Lu Tong's statement.

"But how can I give it life!" Lu Tong looked at me expectantly, as if I could answer the doubts in his heart.

.......... I was stunned, how could I answer, from beginning to end I was just an ordinary teenager. Something that even a generation of craftsmen like Lu Tong can't answer. How could I possibly know?

"However, isn't the Red Blood Demon Sword endowed with life? "I don't know how to answer, but my idea made me say my opinion without thinking, and since you don't know how to do it, just cast it according to the methods of your ancestors. But it soon dawned on me that something seemed wrong with my words.

The Red Blood Demon Sword was forged by Lu Zhi, a genius of the craftsman's 'Gate', who died with his sword, and it was impossible for Lu Tong not to know this truth, but until now he had not used the same method to forge another identical sword. From the perspective of ordinary people, Lu Tong must lack the courage to die for his life. But I believe that Lu Tong is by no means a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. It's just that my words are easy to misunderstand, Lu Tong is afraid of death, so he has never been able to create a sword that surpasses the Red Blood Demon Sword. With Lu Tong's paranoid personality, he may have killed me in a fit of rage.

Sure enough, as soon as my words fell, Long Qi's face changed greatly, and soon Long Xin Long Zhan and Jin Hong Dongguan also realized that I said something that I shouldn't have said. One by one, no one is 'colored'. The young soldier's face on the side was even more difficult to see, and he wanted to kill me on the spot.

"Very good!" Lu Tong still had a calm look: "This method, many people know, but no one has ever advanced it in front of me." ”

"The junior has lost his words!" I forced myself to suppress the fear in my heart, and my head was spinning rapidly, although he seemed to be calm, but who knows what he thought in his heart, maybe he was already thinking about how to kill me. In his previous life, the peerless heroes on TV were all such terrible guys with different hearts and mouths, smiling and hiding knives. I must say something, let him dispel such thoughts, otherwise, I don't know when I will die, at the moment, I hardly hesitated, and continued: "Because this method doesn't work at all, my predecessors dispelled this idea, didn't they." ”

"Oh. Lu Tong seemed surprised, looking at me curiously, as if expecting a reasonable explanation from me.

"Indeed, it is possible to forge the same magic sword in the same way, but the chances of such a thing are very small, even if it succeeds by luck, it will only make this world have another terrifying existence like the Red Blood Demon Sword. ”

"Hahaha. Lu Tong smiled, and I could feel that it was a kind of laugh, a kind of relieved smile that was understood and recognized: "Yes, so, I never thought of casting the same sword in this way." ”

All of them had a relieved expression, and my hanging heart finally let go. I just made amends, hoping to dispel his murderous thoughts, although I'm not sure if he ever had such thoughts. And the young warrior next to Lu Tong looked at me in surprise.

"In the sword casting, martyrdom is an extreme method of sword casting! The probability of success is also very small, even if it succeeds, the character of the sword is extremely difficult to measure, the ancestor Lu Zhi was in a desperate situation, so he must not do it. And all this comes from his crazy pursuit of forging a sword, and he is obsessed, so he endows the Red Blood Demon Sword with an extremely persistent character, but because of this, this sword does not distinguish between good and evil, and anyone who has an obsession can use it to use his strength. But no matter who holds this sword, it will be difficult to escape the fate of martyrdom in the end, which is the fate of the Red Blood Demon Sword given by the ancestor Lu Zhi. There is only one such sword in the world, which is enough to set off countless bloody storms, and if there is one more, it is difficult to imagine what the consequences will be. What's more, if you forge a sword in the same way, you may not succeed. ”

"So the seniors want to find another way to forge a sword of sincerity and integrity!"

"Yes, what I want to build is a sword of loyalty that can be controlled by the mind of the human 'spirit' god, not a magic sword that can control the human 'spirit' god, this is what I Lu Tong has pursued all my life. Lu Tong's words made everyone can't help but feel respect. Yes, the Sword of Loyalty, if you can really make such a sword, maybe you can really defeat the Red Blood Demon Sword.

Speaking of this, Lu Tong walked to the other side of the weapon rack, and 'drawn' my Hundred Battles long knife: "I have dedicated my whole life to the way of sword forging, and I have a wide range of knowledge. But I have never seen such a weapon with such a distinctive character, just at a glance, I can see that he is extraordinary. Lu Tong said and waved the long knife in his hand a few times.

(Let's watch the fantasy channel of the literary network together, and more 'fine' colors are waiting for you.) ）

Whoosh, whoosh, a few flashes, just waving at will, the fighting spirit will be spontaneous, which shows how amazing Lu Tong's own fighting energy is. And at the moment when he held the knife, I could feel that Lu Tong's whole person had changed. At this moment, he is no longer a craftsman who pursues the ultimate way of forging swords, but a peerless powerhouse who has experienced a hundred battles: "This is a peerless and rare weapon, which shows that the person who designed it must have an amazing understanding of weapons." Lu Tong said and handed the Hundred Battles Long Knife to me.

I had no choice but to respectfully take the Hundred Battles Sword.

"In all the records of the ancient gods, the dragon slayer with its thick 'mixed' male, can be called the most in the ages, not physically strong and calm, can not be used, and even if it is lucky to be a weapon, it is mostly difficult to exert its knife special 'nature', can really exert the power of this knife, thousands of years there are only a handful of people. Lu Tong said, setting his eyes on the angry slash.

"The peculiar shape of the double sickle of the angry slash is destined to be this kind of blade must be weird and gratuitous, fast and agile as its technical characteristics, this is also the most difficult martial arts technique to master, and there is no one in the world who can use the angry slash as a blade for a hundred years. ”

Lu Tong then 'pumped' the blade of the overlord: "And the blade of the overlord does not have the extreme thickness and calmness of slaying dragons, nor the extreme weirdness and agility of angry slashing, but it has the loyalty and peace that these two weapons cannot have." It is a kind of rigidity and softness, calm and fast, thick and agile, this is also my favorite weapon, but unfortunately this blade is collected by the royal family, ordinary people have no chance to see it. Lu Tong said as he said with a trace of melancholy and loss flashing on his face: "Whether it is the dragon slayer, the angry slash, or the blade of the overlord, it is a magic weapon that is hard to find in the world, and it is much stronger than the empty shells on these knife holders." And the secret method of casting them is not recorded at all. Legend has it that they were all given full life and soul by their forgers, the Gate, which made them far more powerful than ordinary weapons. ”

Only then did I realize that when I first saw these weapons, I always felt that something was missing, and it turned out to be just imitations.
