Chapter 134
At the request of the King of the Western Imperial City, I moved my workshop from the smashing pot and iron weapon shop to the flat ground behind the palace hall, and what I wanted to do was to forge the seven Wyvern Swords into the world's unparalleled Shadow Phantom Blade in front of everyone.
Looking at the seven Wyvern Swords in front of me, and then at the familiar faces under the stands, and their eager eyes, I tried to calm my mood, but my heart was still beating violently, as if it was about to pop out of my chest. I had to take a few steps back and sit down in the chair behind me, so that I could calm down quickly.
"Boy, let's start, you can do it boldly, old man, I will watch from the side to help you help." Suddenly, Tie Lao walked up and said to me with a smile.
I nodded, trying to make my smile look lighter, walked over to the desk, and said aloud to the crowd, "Please be quiet, with the efforts of all of us, we have found all the materials to forge the Shadow Phantom Blade, now, let's complete this final process together." ”
After saying that, I lowered my head and slowly picked up the magic crystal that was set aside, which was a swarthy and black luster under the slap, as if it were an unfathomable crystal. I held it in my hand and gently placed it in the container that had been prepared long ago, according to Iron Elder said, magic crystal is an ore with a very high melting point, and a container made of special hedron must be used to melt it without destroying the container.
After about half an hour, under the heat of the fire, the magic crystal slowly melted, forming a black mixture of liquid and solid, and after more than half an hour, the whole magic crystal was finally completely melted, I clamped the bowl-like container with tongs, and slowly walked towards the case where the seven Wyvern swords were placed.
At this time, everyone in the audience was also watching everything that happened on the stage with different moods. The demon, that is, the mysterious female Taoist priest who we rarely hear her speak, is watching every move of the walker on the stage with a nervous expression, she knows that the success or failure of this time is directly related to whether her mission in the game world can be successfully completed in the future, however, all this is not something she can decide, what she can do now is just pray in her heart.
The magic crystal melt fell on the Flying Dragon Sword little by little, and quickly merged into the Flying Dragon Sword, and a strange feeling suddenly surged in my heart, although I couldn't tell what it was, but I always felt that something was wrong, and looked back at Tie Lao on the side, only to see that there was no discomfort on his face, so I had to continue to pour up.
Tyrant sat on the chair, holding a teacup in his hand, drinking slowly, while staring intently at the walker on the stage, although he had a smile on his face, he seemed to have a full grasp of today's events, but his heart was already extremely nervous. He didn't know, if he failed to forge the Flying Dragon Sword today, what would happen, the Norma Sect Master who had leaped in strength again was not so easy to deal with, you must know that the last time they killed the Norma Sect Master, they were already very lucky, if they went again, even if the Norma Sect Master at that time, they might not have the strength to guarantee that they could win again, let alone the mutated Norma Sect Master?
By the side of the tyrant, there was the gang leader of the Northern Storm, Steel, who looked at the front with a nervous expression, as if he was very concerned about everything today, but what he thought in his heart was that if the walker succeeded in forging the Shadow Phantom Blade today, wouldn't his reputation surpass his own even more? In that case, the family's task would be even more difficult to complete, but on the other hand, he hoped that his friend would succeed, and in his inner struggle, time passed minute by minute.
While pouring the magic crystal melt on the Wyvern Sword, I carefully observed the reaction of the Wyvern Sword, those viscous melts onto the Wyvern Sword, and it seems to be integrated into the sword body in the blink of an eye, leaving black spots on the sword body, I kind of understand why Tie Lao said why the Wyvern Sword was put open, if it is piled together, the Wyvern Sword below will not have a chance to contact the magic crystal melt.
When all the molten liquid was poured, the black spots on the Wyvern Sword suddenly moved and turned into a long thin line, I stared carefully at the sword body, waiting for the black mist that Tie Lao said appeared, only at that time, my will can communicate with the Wyvern Sword, and then use my will to guide them to merge into one, which is called forging a new shadow blade.
The thin threads moved slowly on the sword, longer and thinner, and as time went on, their movements became slower and slower, and they seemed to stand still when they were about to reach the hilt and the tip of the sword. I watched it all anxiously, and I wanted to reach out and stretch them, but the more anxious I was, the slower they seemed to move. In desperation, I had to turn around and ask Tie Lao behind me for help, Tie Lao's body seemed to have a momentum that he didn't have in the past, looked at me and smiled slightly, and said, "Let it be." After I heard this, I immediately understood that I was too anxious and affected the process of forging. With a long sigh of relief, I let my breathing as steady and soothing as possible, and slowly the thin threads on the sword began to move again.
This time I don't dare to rush anymore, the will of the whole person moves with the rhythm of the black line, at this time, as long as it does not stop completely, Tie Lao is right, only by going with the flow, I can finally let them merge into a sword on the basis of free combination, as for whether it succeeds or not, as long as I do my best, nothing else is up to me to decide, this is not a forged general weapon, although I can guide, but it is not something I can fully control.
Time passed unconsciously, and soon a thin layer of sweat oozed from my forehead, although I didn't do anything, but I had a very tired feeling, as if I had just killed a super boss, dizzy and weak. Is it so difficult just trying to communicate with the sword soul? Wouldn't it be more difficult for me to guide the fusion of the swords at that moment?
Tie Lao stood behind the walker, looking at his slightly trembling body, knowing that he was now at a critical time, and he himself was like this back then, because he didn't master the proper method and wasted a lot of physical strength, which eventually led to the later failure, although the situation was different each time he forged the Shadow Phantom Blade, but their reasons were similar. Tie Lao frowned slightly, hesitated for a while, and said softly: "Boy, forging the Shadow Phantom Blade is the same as riding a horse, your strength is impossible to fight against a horse, but at least it is not for you to fight against him, but for you to use the reins to control it, you know?" ”
Forging the Phantom Blade? Horseback riding? Bridle? Although Tie Lao's words were small, they were like Huang Zhong Da Lu, shaking my mind, yes, like riding a horse. I began to give up on directing the direction in which it was moving, and instead focused my attention on the thin lines, using my willpower to make the thin lines that had been extended more stable, and no longer let them swing at will.
Half an hour passed, and when the black lines on the body of the first Wyvern Sword connected the tip and hilt, the black lines on the other Wyvern Swords moved faster and faster, almost making me unable to keep up with their rhythm. After a while, I felt that my body was already soaked with sweat, and large drops of sweat flowed down my forehead, and my whole body trembled unconsciously, as if it was not me guiding the sword, but the sword controlling my mind and consciousness.
"Concentrate on a sword." Iron Elder suddenly screamed behind me, waking me up from the chaos. Looking at the black lines that had gradually slowed down, I breathed a long sigh of relief, the ease and sweat of the rest of my life after the catastrophe made me feel excited, if it wasn't for Iron Elder by my side, it is estimated that the forging of the Shadow Phantom Blade would have stopped just now.
The seven Wyvern Swords finally completed their respective transformations, and when all the black lines were connected, a burst of black mist slowly rose from the sword body, and I knew that the most critical time had come, so I quickly held my breath, and I didn't even dare to breathe, for fear that because of my own mistakes, I would lead to the final failure.
Soon, I was shrouded in the black mist, and when I was completely encased in it, seven flashing avatars suddenly appeared around me, and in the gray mist, they seemed to be arguing about something, could it be that they were the sword souls of the seven Wyvern Swords?
"Boy, you're the one who called us out?" A middle-aged man with a hideous face said, his eyes full of disdain and threat.
"You die of this heart, we won't merge together, just think about me being with a few of them, I want to gag." As soon as the middle-aged man's avatar finished speaking, another avatar with an arrogant face said.
"Don't you all quarrel, haven't you quarreled enough after so many years? Let's hear what they have to say, boy, did you summon us out to bring us together and forge a new Shadow Blade? While the two avatars were arguing, another avatar that looked much more sedate popped up and stopped the other two guys as soon as he spoke.
"Yes, yes." I thought about it for a while and said, there is no other way anyway, it is better to talk to them directly, there are still some opportunities if you don't get it.
"Haha, such a straightforward guy, I didn't expect a scene from a thousand years ago to be repeated again." A guy with a full beard laughed out loud, and everyone else laughed along with him, and all of a sudden, my eardrums buzzed.
"Boy, let me tell you, we won't obey your words, you should die of this heart as soon as possible, and as soon as the black mist on our body disappears, you will have no choice, haha."
"Fourth, every time you are the first to show your stuff, you are still saying that you will not fuse, be careful for a while and you will be the first to succumb." As soon as the avatar finished speaking, the other immediately teased.
"Boy, just cherish the time to start, be careful, we are not something you humans can deal with casually." Suddenly, an old voice spoke, and as soon as the voice fell, all the avatars disappeared, and it was pitch black in front of me, and I couldn't see anything.
Naturally, those four words suddenly appeared in my heart, and since I couldn't see it, I simply closed my eyes.
Suddenly, I found myself in a state of confusion in my mind, as if there were many currents of air rushing through my head, and I was so surprised that I had to hold my head tightly with my hands so that I could feel comfortable. However, the air currents didn't seem to stop because of my efforts, but instead rushed harder and harder.
My head hurt more and more, as if it was about to burst, and I wanted to scream out loud, but I found myself speechless. After I don't know how long, those air currents finally slowed down, and gradually I felt as if there were 7 different air currents in my head, could it be that those sword souls were all in my head? So what am I going to do to bring them together? Let it be, Tie Lao said that he should go with the flow, in that case, I will not hinder their actions, and see what they want to do.
Without the confinement of my brain, the air currents rushed through my meridians in different directions of my body, and soon they dispersed to all parts of my body. Oops, wouldn't that be harder to get them back together? However, this is already the case, and I have to explore one by one, to see which of them is weaker, and then guide him to the abdomen.
The seven Wyvern Swords were constantly trembling on the case, sometimes colliding together, sometimes rushing in different directions, and Tie Lao stood aside, looking at all this with a solemn expression. And the others, because they didn't know what was going on, saw the walker standing there with a sluggish expression, not moving, and the long sword on the case trembled, they were even more nervous and excited, for a while, only the sound of the collision of the flying dragon sword could be heard in the square, which made everyone's already nervous nerves tense even more.
At this time, I was even more uncomfortable, I thought that those air currents had a flowing target in my body, but who knew that when they arrived in one place, they immediately rushed to other places, and simply used my body as their playground and played with bumper cars.
Eventually, my consciousness found the most powerful airflow, and I slowly guided him to my abdomen according to the way Tie Lao rode a horse, and the airflow struggled violently at first, but after a few struggles with no obvious effect, it gradually flowed towards my abdomen according to my guidance.
Eventually, the air flow finally reached my abdomen, and after making sure that he wasn't escaping, I began to try to find other air currents so that they could all get into my stomach and form a whole there. At first I was thinking about getting them back into my head, but if they messed around in there, wouldn't I die a terrible death? After thinking about it for a while, I had to give up my brain and shift the battlefield to my abdomen, so that you would be able to make a mess in my stomach, although it hurt a little, but it didn't do much harm to my body, just a few days of roundworms in my stomach.
Looking at the gathering of the Wyvern Swords, Tie Lao's face showed a satisfied smile, it seems that this apprentice is much stronger than his own old bones, and he has done the sword soul of the 3 Wyvern Swords so quickly, it seems that there is still a lot of hope, as long as there is no accident, this kid may become the first guy to successfully forge the Shadow Phantom Blade in a thousand years.
Tyrant sat on the chair, still seemingly leisurely drinking his tea, the teacup in his hand made outsiders think that he must be calm now, otherwise, who could be as stable as Mount Tai at this time? However, whether he is full of confidence or not, only the Tyrant himself knows that years of life have created a huge gap between his appearance and his heart, and the fears and worries in his heart will not cross this abyss and manifest themselves on his appearance. However, at this moment, he saw the smile of a person who had been standing next to the walker and was said to be an iron old man who was a master blacksmith. In an instant, the mood of the tyrant was completely relaxed, and from Tie Lao's expression, he saw hope, perhaps, he was really too worried, he thought so, and a heartfelt smile appeared on his face.
Sitting on the side, Steel looked at the tyrant around him from time to time with the corner of his eye, although the other party now has no power in the past, and gradually lost the courage of the year in front of him, but lions are lions after all, although they are not like wolves in groups, but that is because they are strong enough, it is not strong on the outside, but on the inside, strong from the bones. Steel sat there, suddenly realizing that he was actually used to following the advice of the tyrant on important matters, and it was at this time that he saw the smile on the other party's face. Could it be that he saw the way and knew that the walker was doing well? Steel's heart suddenly thumped, it seemed that he was still inferior to him, thinking of this, his face showed infinite disappointment in himself.
Just as the 5th airflow made it to my stomach after a dangerous encounter, I suddenly noticed that there was something strange about the airflow in my stomach, but when I tried to figure out what was going on, everything seemed to be back to normal. It's been half an hour, and in that half an hour, I've experienced the hardest thing of my life, and as the airflow in my abdomen increases, it's getting harder and harder to direct other airflow into my stomach.
The sixth stream seemed to follow my guidance easily, or in other words, he was not following my guidance at all, but rushed towards my abdomen with my consciousness. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, but the thought of how long they're all in my belly anyway will always be brought together by me makes my uneasy heart feel a lot more relieved.
Riding the seventh air flow, I struggled towards my abdomen, the air flow seemed to be deliberately dragging out time, grinding and grinding, although I didn't resist too much, but I also refused to flow quickly towards my abdomen according to my wishes, there was no way, I had to follow Tie Lao's words, let him go naturally, anyway, as long as he walked in that direction, it would always come to my stomach.
After a full half hour, the seventh stream was finally about to reach my stomach. However, just when I thought everything was okay and relaxed, the other six air currents in my stomach suddenly rebelled and rampaged in my stomach like Monkey King, and I quickly covered my stomach to relieve my pain.
However, when my attention was focused on my stomach, the 7th airflow, which had been obedient, rushed up without warning, rushed into my stomach at once, and mixed with the other six airflows, there was no way, I had to hold back the pain to suppress these rebellious guys, however, where am I the opponent of the 7th powerful airflow? In a few rounds, I don't want to say control them, and even the strength to fight back is gone.
Tie Lao looked at the 7 flying dragon swords that suddenly trembled on the table, his face changed greatly, he knew that he did not have strong willpower to control the sword soul at this time, which led to the final failure, he didn't expect that many years later, everything is so similar, is it doomed to not succeed? Tie Lao thought, anxiously turned his gaze to the walker who was already sweating profusely and his face was cloudy, he knew that at this time, he had no way to help him, if he hadn't told him about his failure in order to save face, he might have a way to deal with it now, thinking of this, Tie Lao fell into deep self-blame.
The people in the audience originally looked at the situation on the stage, but they didn't expect such a thing to happen suddenly, although they didn't know what the situation was, but looking at the pained expression of the walker, and then looked at the anxious expression of Tie Lao on the side, they could guess that the situation had changed significantly.
The demon watched all this quietly, and her heart was already very excited, but years of experience told her that she could not show any clues at this time, so she desperately suppressed the turbulence in her heart, and only a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of her mouth that was not easy to be noticed.
Seeing the sudden change in Tie Lao's face, the tyrant was shocked in his heart, and the heartstrings that had just been relaxed immediately tightened again, he knew that the more critical time in the back, the more likely it was to go wrong, looking at Tie Lao's anxious appearance, it must have reached an important turning point, which can be said to be a critical moment that affects success or failure, otherwise Tie Lao would not have behaved so obviously.
Thinking about it, the teacup in his hand slowly put it on the table, stood up, and looked towards the table, when he saw the seven flying dragon swords trembling on the case, he suddenly found that his heart was also beating irregularly, as if it was not the flying dragon sword that was trembling on the case, but his people.
At this time, I found that my body was constantly expanding as if it was about to explode, and I looked at my seriously deformed body, especially the big belly that protruded like a pregnant woman, and I had to desperately suppress the several sword souls that had been entangled together and inseparable. However, instead of solving my current predicament, my efforts have made those currents resist more violently under the action of external forces.
