"Childe is a person who is used to using short blades, and he can't use heavy swords." He silently walked through the labyrinthine shelves, muttering to himself, "However, the lighter the sword, the more difficult it is to strengthen, and it takes an extremely sharp blade to exert its power." I have a 'golden rainbow' here, which can cut ten hides at a time. ”

As he spoke, he casually pulled a long wooden frame beside him, revealing a golden-red glow hidden in it, but immediately pushed it back.

"It's too sharp." He uttered the words almost with a sigh and turned to the other side.

Gao Zhong followed him silently, and on the shelves on both sides were names written in dark gold, all of which were stories that seemed to have a living sword.

The shopkeeper drew another blue-black sword, and ran his fingers over it, gradually glowing blue and sizzling everywhere he went.

"It's a lonely sword." He nodded, glancing at Gao Zhong's slender and pale fingers, "I'm afraid you'll be hard to control." ”

Sword after sword stroked from under his hand, metallic dust floating, as if the memories of the past had been awakened lingered in the air. Suddenly, he stopped, slowly pulled out a heavy trapdoor from the dark corner, revealing a short sword lying in the cold air, and whispered, "It's a good sword, and it's exquisitely forged." The material is Arctic cold iron, which is rare. ”

The scabbard was blue-gray, cast with fine and delicate patterns, and covered with a heavy layer of frost.

Gao Zhong asked, "What is the name of this sword?" ”

"It doesn't have a name." The shopkeeper laughed and coughed again, "This is made by a reclusive master decades ago, the master has no name, this sword has no name, it is his own use, after his death this sword was sold and finally came to me." ”

Gao Zhong picked up the sword, and the cold texture suddenly penetrated the palm of his hand and invaded upward, as if his whole body was about to freeze, but there was something in it that trembled faintly, as if he heard a sound from his sleep.

"No one has ever been its master since the death of the master, and even I don't know what kind of sword it is. This kind of weapon is often arrogant, and not just anyone can use it. ”

As soon as the words fell, Gao Chong had already grasped the hilt of the sword, and said with a smile, "In that case, let me pull it out and see how it goes?" ”

The shopkeeper was silent for a while, and asked, "Have you figured it out?" ”

Before Gao Pet could answer, a chaotic sound sounded behind him, and a woman's anxious voice flashed in like a ray of light:

"Brother pet, don't!"

Gao Chong didn't look back, and laughed softly: "I knew you would find here, but it's a pity that you came a little late." ”

With a slight push, the blade of the sword slid out silently like a piece of flowing water, and the blue and white light suddenly illuminated his face.

The blade was so light that it was almost transparent, glowing with a pale cyan light, emitting bursts of cold air as if it had been carved out of ice. Gao Chong's right hand was already purple from the cold, but he always had a smile on his face, turned around and said, "It's really a good sword, this deal is not a loss." ”

Teresa Teng snuggled to the door with a pale face, just panting one by one, her eyes full of despair. Jin Ling stood behind her, looking at this and that with trepidation, and then whispered for a long time: "Brother, I didn't mean to ......"

"Of course I don't blame you." Gao Pet said softly, "It's a good thing that Sister Liyun can come." ”

Deng Liyun's expression was sad, and she whispered in a hoarse voice, "What are you going to do when you buy this sword?" ”

"I said, I want a sword that can actually be used." Gao Zhong stood in the faint light and said slowly, "If I want to protect you, I must have a sword that can really be used!" I said I would protect you from being bullied for the rest of your life, and I did what I said, do you remember the short sword I gave you? It was an ancestral treasure of your Deng family, but it couldn't save the lives of hundreds of people in the Deng family, and it couldn't even protect the safety of the last pair of children in their family! For two hundred years, that sword was offered on the altar, and no one dared to come closer, but in the end you drank the filthy blood of a scoundrel so that you would not be bullied! ”

Deng Liyun trembled: "That's all in the past......"

"Yes, you and I hope that such a day will never come back." Gao Pet gritted his snow-white teeth and smiled hard, "Eating things like pigs and fighting like dogs, but there are some things that you can't forget." I've always sworn to protect you, but I didn't have as much strength as those scoundrels, so I ended up using that sword as a murder weapon. It was that noble sword, which I used to stab the dog's fat flesh for an unknown number of times, until at last he could not move, and my arm was as broken as if it had no strength at all. Do you think I regret it? No, such wicked people are more than innocent! But the next time I encounter more and stronger enemies, will I still be able to use it to keep the two of us safe? From then on, I vowed to have a sword that was sharp enough, or I wouldn't be able to sleep at night! ”

"Do you remember...... I originally thought that after you became a general, you would forget all this, but you still remembered it......" Deng Liyun said in a trembling voice, walking forward slowly, but the young man in white only took a step back.

"Sister Liyun, you are too kind." He sighed, "What can I do if I forget, do you think that will make me stop drawing my sword?" Since that night, you and I can't go back, no matter what desperate situation is ahead, we can only strive forward, even if there is a cliff ahead, we are destined to fall to pieces. From this day forward, I will use this sword to sweep away all obstacles in our path and protect you from any threat, please trust me. ”

After saying that, he slowly pressed his fingers against the blade of the sword, and the sharp cold blade instantly slid away from his fingertips, sucking the hot blood at an astonishing speed. Blood poured out of the wound, slowly slid down the blade, and finally fell to the ground.

Gao Zhong looked at the sword in his hand with a little surprise, the sword body was still as cool as ever, there was no trace of blood in sight, but the chill suddenly subsided, and the sword body looked as warm as human skin, lying quietly in his hand.

"It drank your blood and thought you could be its master." The shopkeeper's hoarse and tired voice sounded on the side, "Childe seems to be really destined for this sword, leave that dagger, you can take the sword away." ”

Gao Zhong put his sword into the sheath, bowed deeply to the shopkeeper, and slowly walked out of the dark storeroom.

The sun had slowly slid down, and the long knife under the eaves was still roaring in the sparse light, and the mottled blade was covered with a layer of pale gold brilliance. Gao Pet closed his eyes, and it took a long time before he slowly opened them, lowered his head and asked Jin Ling, "Did you buy your knife?" ”

Jin Ling nodded, showing a short knife more than five inches long in her arms, the knife sleeve was sewn from sheepskin, and a beautiful vermilion pattern was painted on it.
