After such a long time, the forging system in the free world has become one of the main objects of research for many players, and many of its practical rules and techniques have been published on the resource pages of major websites by countless players who have achieved results. As one of the veteran players, Duan Qing naturally knows a little bit about the secrets of forging, including how to create self-matching weapons and equipment, but when it comes to such skills, they generally only exist in the range of forging skills that players can comprehend on their own.

Using the Blacksmith NPC in the free world as a means of customization like this often requires the player's reputation or a higher level of prestige.

"I was made to wear a piece of equipment by a blacksmith before, but unfortunately it has disappeared into history with the passage of time."

His gaze became melancholy for a moment, and Duan Qing, who had just remembered his past account for two seconds, smiled a little casually: "The relationship between me and that Ford blacksmith is not as good as you imagined. ”

"Huh? So where do you say this eye-popping elemental resistance came about? Asahi Dongsheng said angrily, "Isn't it something you specifically asked for in order to win the confrontation between magicians?" ”

"Isn't elemental resistance equipment rare?" Duan Qing asked with a puzzled expression: "I have seen weapons with their own attribute attacks before, so I don't care much about this armor with its own elemental defense attributes......

"This resistance armor is of course very rare! Because magicians are meant to deal with warriors! Asahi Dongsheng cocked his nose: "If the resistance suit can be stacked, wouldn't a group of warriors rushing up to kill the mage be like chopping melons and vegetables?" ”

"Hmm...... This resistance bonus should be calculated by multiplication, right? It should be impossible to become a completely anti-magic warrior. ”

"Fifty percent is enough! If he could grab two or three more knives, Lao Tzu would have chopped off the heads of those magicians a long time ago! ”

"This dragon scale chain mail provides thirty percent elemental resistance, plus the damage reduction skill that comes with it...... Reaching fifty percent should be no problem. ”

"That's right! That's why I should wear this chain mail! ”

In the midst of the increasingly heated arguments, the Giant Axe Warrior finally stated his purpose: "What the Berserker lacks most is this kind of powerful equipment that increases defense capabilities!" I'm going to get the most out of it—woo! What are you doing? ”

"Do you want that old face of yours, do you have your share in this forging?" A punch knocked the impassioned Asahi Dongsheng to the point of bending down, and Gedmayne shook his wrist and looked at the other party with disdain: "Did you pay the raw materials, or did you pay the manual fee?" ”

"What, what? Lao Tzu also helped! Holding his lower abdomen, Asahi Dongsheng stiffened his neck with difficulty: "If Lao Tzu hadn't carried so much for you during this time, how could this team have come to this point?" ”

"It's like we're in a good place right now...... Don't forget what we're going to do now! Gedmayne squinted at the other party's face: "And your current identity is suspicious, give you such good equipment, what if you run away in the end?" ”

"Holy? Is this what people say? Asahi stood up suddenly: "My identity is suspicious? I think your identity is in doubt! A wild man who came out of nowhere had to come to join us...... Why? Do you want to make a comparison? ”

The argument that gradually deviated from the trajectory quickly turned into a physical struggle between the two people, and there was a ping-pong sound in the carriage, and Duan Qing, who sighed for a long time, then showed no intention of paying attention to it, turned around and climbed out of the rickety carriage door: "You fight slowly, I'll go around other cars." ”

“…… I'll go too. The white figure with long hair belonging to Xue Lingphantom Ice then appeared at the top of the carriage: "I don't want to pay attention to these two guys, it's better for them to quit the team." ”

"More or less two strong thugs, it's still a little reluctant to leave." Looking at the front of the convoy, which was still moving slowly, Duan Qing said in a low voice, "But...... Let them decide for themselves. ”

"Can you jump over there?" In the side eyes of a large number of black-clothed bodyguards on war horses around him, he raised a blue alchemy bottle in his hand: "Floating potion, do you want to take a sip?" ”

Giving the other party a look full of shame and anger, Xue Lingphantom Ice, who was holding his arms, then took the lead in jumping towards the position where the roof of the other carriage in front of him was, and then turned around and shook his head at Duan Qing in defiance, while disappearing to the top of the carriage farther away. With a helpless wry smile, Duan Qing, who poured the potion into his stomach, then sent his gradually lighter body to the roof of the previous carriage, but his body that was struggling to move did not continue to follow the figure of Xue Lingphantom Ice and continued to jump forward, but got into the carriage of this carriage: "...... What do you think? ”

Unlike the carriage he was sitting in behind, there was only one person in the carriage of the penultimate carriage of the convoy at this time, and Volavos, who was in charge of this convoy, also arranged the purple-haired woman who was covered by a gray-black cloak in this separate carriage as Duan Qing had asked before: "Do you feel better?" ”

“……”

"I'm sorry to take you around so bumpy, but you also need to be taken care of now."

Facing Violet, who was sitting in the corner with her knees folded, she was as silent as ever, and Duan Qing, who had been observing for a while, sighed and said, "We will soon arrive at the imperial capital, and with the conditions of that thousand-year-old city, we should also find a way to heal you." ”

"That's where you're from." Recalling the past memories that belonged to her that had been filled with her mind, Duan Qing, who lowered her head, slowly took out the disc that had been hidden on her body: "Even if you can't heal your soul, seeing those old scenes should remind you of something." ”

"In our world, it's called stimulation therapy." He smiled slightly, and his gaze shifted from the purple-haired woman who had been keeping her head down and silent: "This will definitely work, I promise." ”

Poked his head out of the range of the carriage, facing the warm breeze, he looked at the scenery that kept passing around him in a daze, and then in the reminder from a white-haired woman in front of him, he turned into a light feather and slowly floated towards the convoy in front of him. The sound of the wheels of the carriage and the hooves of the horses intertwining kept coming from his body, and he fell to the roof of the other car, and then put away the ancient relic in his hand, and then walked into the carriage of the carriage in the middle along the new door again amid a few faint invitations around him: "...... Hello, Lord Volavos. ”

"Hello."

As if he had finally recovered from the previous series of blows, the fat Imperial nobleman sitting in the middle of the carriage replied calmly, if it weren't for the fat body that could only stay in a carriage alone, his nodding and raised hands at this time seemed to be full of the demeanor that an Imperial nobleman should have: "Although I don't agree with the way you came, I still welcome you from the bottom of my heart as a nobleman." ”

"You saved my life." He put down his raised hand and looked at the two people in front of him with grateful eyes: "Although I don't know what is wrong with your identity, but if you hadn't vouched for me in time, I might not have any chance to return to the imperial capital at this time, but would have directly become the soul of those imperial soldiers." ”

"Please, the Imperial Army didn't really dare to kill you." Duan Qing waved his hand half-jokingly: "And our identity as sinners will only bring more trouble to you now." ”

"Since you believe that I am a good person, then I naturally believe in you too." The fat man shook his head unswervingly: "And-"

"What we lacked was not a crime, what we lacked was time."

The fat fingers crossed back and forth in front of his abdomen, and he whispered to the two men with a serious face: "Since things have developed to this point, we should be able to regard this incident as a conspiracy from a certain direction of the empire, they should have been planning for a long time, and their purpose should be to kill me by surprise." ”

"And our meddling sabotaged that plan...... Well, it doesn't look like a useless mediocrity. ”

Pointing at the fat nobleman, he gestured towards the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, and Duan Qing, who was grinning, then used a description that was not afraid that the other party would be angry: "Once he can get out of that fool-like state, this guy seems to have become ...... Much smarter? ”

"It seems like that." Xue Lingphantom Ice also let out two understated laughs: "I hope this is your true ability, not your return to the light." ”

"The Date family has been in the aristocratic world of the empire for so many years, but it is not just by being slick and opportunistic." The fat man shook his head solemnly: "And it's been so long, even if I'm stupid, I should be able to figure out the strangeness of this." ”

"So...... Do you have eyebrows? Duan Qing raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who is behind all this?" ”

"The Yutong family, General Ho Liki, of course, could also be one of some cabinet members." After casually saying a few names, Vravos's eyes then became helpless again: "It's just a force that may have a conflict of interest with me, and I don't know if anyone will use my fall as a stepping stone or something." ”

"It sounds complicated." Xue Lingphantom Bing, who glanced at Duan Qing, said in a deep voice, "But if you can name these names, it's already a kind of progress. ”

"Since I have promised you before, I will truly put you in the same strategic position as me." There was a slight pause in his voice, and Volavos looked at Duan Qing's face with a serious gaze: "Presumably, the two of them also have the same needs, right?" We will each take what we need and cooperate with each other, and we will definitely be able to get through this crisis, right? ”

"As long as you say what you say is from the bottom of your heart." Duan Qing also nodded: "After all, we have both tasted betrayal, and we know that this kind of life is actually not easy." ”

"The situation in the Imperial City is much more complicated than that in the Citadel, and there may be more vicious methods waiting for us there than the plans that framed me." Volavos said in a deep voice, "Since you are also going to be judged by the emperor, then you must also have a lot of bargaining chips that you can use to save your lives, right?" ”

He pointed to the penultimate carriage behind him: "As with the contract we signed before, you will contribute, and I will provide information, and of course the reward will only be more, not less, and by the way, the friendship of our Date family-"

"Will you accept this new employment agreement?"

【Ding——】

[Volavos, the second son of the Date family, chose to form an alliance. 】

[Do you accept it?] 】

Alas.

As if remembering some unforgettable sad past, Duan Qing, who had been staring at the fat nobleman for a while, sighed slowly, and then his outstretched hands gradually shook together with Volavos's fat hand in the system prompt that only echoed in his ears. A slight jolt of the carriage came from under their feet, it was the sound of the convoy just passing a high slope, and the snow spirit ice that noticed a hint of something strange then raised its head, and took in the scene from the window of the carriage into the eyes under the fluttering hair: "...... It's almost there. ”

"Redcarr."

As far as she could see, vermilion walls stretched out along the edge of the distant horizon, and spires, tall and low, followed by the scarlet walls, staggering at higher and higher angles toward the clouds on the horizon. In the middle of the vast outline of the city, where it is difficult to distinguish the borders, a red palace on a hill looms and stands out directly above the red sea with the magic lights that constantly shine around, and the smell of the city is like the noise of the city that reaches their ears, surrounding the red palace like a pagoda: "Your Excellency's convoy is not bad, it only took half a day. ”

"It's just that it looks like it's almost there, and it's actually about an hour or two away." Volavos, who was also looking in that direction, replied with a smile: "This is probably because Redkar is too large, so it gives people the illusion." ”

"So every time I see this kind of miraculous place, I can't help but be amazed by the world." Duan Qing, who was looking at the vermilion sea complex, sighed and shook his head: "But it's more appropriate for us to talk about the next plans now." ”

"When we actually get there, we still have time to enjoy the city."
