My conversation with the Great Taidao ended with the return of the old man of the West Shadow.

As soon as the old man of Xiying entered the base on his front foot, I hurriedly stepped forward, took the burden in his hand, and carried it all the way to the magic airship.

The old man did not resist my courtesy, but just told me to put my baggage in the room.

Following the old man's instructions, I put my baggage on the floor of the room, and quietly withdrew, and as soon as I turned around, I met Daphne who had come out of Mr. Mavreaux's room.

Because of the experience in the morning, when I was unprepared to face Daphne again, I always felt an indescribable awkward atmosphere in my face, and I couldn't avoid it.

Just as I was struggling with how to speak, Daphne suddenly stepped forward, stilted her feet, and a pair of slightly thin arms wrapped around my neck, and her slightly pale but cute little face slowly approached me.

In the next second, I only felt a little wetness on my left cheek, as if it was as warm and beautiful as the summer morning dew falling on my cheeks.

For a moment, my mind went blank, and I stared at her blankly.

After all this, Daphne's cheeks were as rosy as rouge, and she quickly withdrew her arms, crossed them over her chest, and ran past me, leaving a scent of incense in her wake.

I stood there in a daze, and it wasn't until a familiar guy stood in front of me and shook his rough left hand in front of my eyes a few times that I came to my senses.

"Yikes! Mr. Mavreau! I was amazed, and at the same time, the waves swelled in my heart again: he must not have seen that scene just now, right?!

"What's wrong with you?" Mr. Mavreau's face was full of the same smile as usual, and his tone was a little puzzled: "Why are you so surprised to see me?" ”

"Ah, nothing" I hurriedly smiled, nodded, and hurriedly staggered past him, and at the moment of the wrong body, my arm was tightly grabbed by him, and I subconsciously turned around and said, "Ah? Is there anything else you can do? ”

Mr. Mavreaux squinted at me, then smiled and said, "Did you meet Daphne just now?" ”

I nodded weakly.

He let go of his hand, stepped forward, straightened my somewhat messy collar, and said, "My Daphne has entrusted it to you, and you must treat her well." ”

As he spoke, he strode into Master Sherlock's room.

I was stunned and overwhelmed.

After getting off the airship, I heard the old man of Xiying teasing me from a distance: "Look at this child, how can he come over like a zombie without a soul, and he doesn't have the vigor and vitality of a young man at all." ”

After hearing this, I straightened my chest, took a deep breath, and walked over with my head held high.

"That's right," said the old man of the West Shadow.

I saw that between the old man of Xiying and the boss of Rennes, there was a strip-shaped package, and I couldn't help but ask out loud: "Senior Xiying, may I ask what ......is this?"

"A knife that the ancestors once used" Old Man Xiying smiled, "I specially brought it to you to try, and if it is easy to use, I will give it to you." ”

"How embarrassing is this," I waved my hand again and again, and excused myself: "This is a relic left by your ancestors, and it must have extraordinary significance to you. ”

"I have the final say on whether it makes sense" The old man of Xiying looked at the knife in his hand, and said slowly: "Besides, this knife is not as precious as you imagined, my ancestors did use it, but then they also abandoned it, buried deep in the soil, if it weren't for the ancestors' disciples still remember the location of this knife, and ordered someone to dig it out, I'm afraid this good knife will be buried, after this experience, I'm afraid this knife doesn't have a good impression of our ancestors' descendants, it's better to give it to you as a meeting gift, It can be regarded as a little repayment for helping me regain the glory of my family. ”

"This ......" I was about to say no again, when the voice of the big sword suddenly sounded in my head: "Take it, this old man is right, this knife really doesn't have a good impression of the old man." ”

After a slight groan, I solemnly stretched out my hands, and with a solemn expression, I planned to take the knife from the old man of the West Shadow.

Unexpectedly, the old man suddenly pushed the knife back, avoiding my hand, I raised my head in confusion, and I heard the old man smile and said, "Don't be in a hurry to take the knife, you wipe the lipstick marks on your face first." ”

When the lipstick marks on my face were finally washed off with warm water, my left cheek was already a large red patch, rubbing red.

No wonder Mr. Mavreaux looked at me with such an ambiguous look, and even the tone of his speech changed to that of a father-in-law telling his son-in-law, because Daphne had imprinted a sign on the side of my face.

I didn't expect Daphne, who usually looks quiet, to do such a bold thing, it's really unseemly.

After figuring out the reasons for the change in Mr. Mavre's attitude, I felt much calmer.

After taking a few deep breaths in a row, I walked out of the office building and came to the open space of the base, where I took the knife and prepared to have a fight with the old man of the West Shadow.

The brown handle of the old man's family heirloom sword is made of an ancient hardwood, which is not only strong, but also has a lot of friction and is not easy to slip, making it suitable for use as a handle for the highest level weapons.

The material used to create the blade is not ordinary, but a mixed metal of mythril and pure gold, and when forged, it is mixed with a variety of enchanted stone powders, and before it is baked, it is also engraved by the master forge himself with a line of runes to bless its unique effect.

In general, the knife in the hands of the old man of Xiying can only be described in one sentence - high-end, atmospheric, and high-grade.

The old man told me that it also has a very special name: the cross knife.

This name is very domineering when I hear it, and I am very envious.

The old man also told me that there is not only one cross chopping knife, according to the records of his ancestors, during the reign of the goblins, the number of cross chopping knives was a total of nine, and all of them were magic weapons, at the beginning of the creation, the goblin emperor gave nine adventurers with outstanding strength and great merit, Xilan was given this 'cross chopping knife - one' because of his exploits such as eliminating monsters and quelling rebellion, and the remaining eight knives belonged to whom, he spent his life without investigating clearly.

When I heard that this knife had a big deal, I immediately hesitated.

The reign of the goblins was one of the most prosperous periods in the Zephyr Continent, whether it was scientific research, construction, business, forging, etc., they all reached an unprecedented level, and many achievements could not be reached even at the current level of science and technology, including forging.

It is said that none of the magic weapons unearthed during the reign of the goblins can be compared to the best magic weapons created during the melee and legendary heroes.

And judging by the words of the old man Xiying just now, this cross chopping knife is probably the top craftsmanship achievement at that time, if this is the case, then the knife in my hand will be its opponent?

Isn't it going to break with a single slash?
