Chapter 9: I Want to Live

After reading the history of the Arad Continent, Chen Xiaodong couldn't calm down for a long time, thinking that he would have to wait until Huttonmar's magic library to learn about the tip of the iceberg of the Arad Continent, but he didn't expect that there was still a gap between this Arad Continent and the Arad Continent he knew.

"Linus, this is the material you need, I searched for this Shadow Stone for a long time to find it." Lao Wang took out a big bag from the backyard, Lao Wang kept wiping the sweat on his forehead, obviously these things took a lot of effort.

"Thank you." Linus picked up the bag and prepared to leave.

"Thank you, thank you! You haven't paid yet! Lao Wang's eyes widened suddenly.

"We have so much money in this relationship?" Linus rolled his eyes.

"No matter how good the relationship is, I need to eat, and this magic material is also very precious." Lao Wang said angrily.

"Then aren't you curious about this ghost hand? I don't believe you're an alchemist and short of money to spend! Linus smiled sinisterly, stared at the old king and whispered.

"Then you, the forger, will be poor? Anyway, the money has to be paid! "Lao Wang is unrelenting.

Chen Xiaodong heard them discussing the price or something, put the books back on the shelf, walked up to the front of them discussing the price, and said, "Uncle Linus, I'll pay for it." ”

Before Chen Xiaodong could finish speaking, Linnas covered his mouth, "Where do you have money?" ”

"I don't have any money now, I can go and earn it later." Chen Xiaodong broke free of Linnas's big hand and said sincerely to Lao Wang.

Lao Wang thought for a while and said: "Then you can come to me as an apprentice, I don't mind multiple apprentices, there is just a shortage of people." ”

"Okay, no problem." Chen Xiaodong replied.

Linnaston's teeth itched, this old king is too damaged, this kidnaps Chen Xiaodong away, how can he study this mutated ghost hand, Linnas thought about it carefully, and suddenly had a good idea.

"Let's go, I'll take you to my residence to build the sealing chain." Linus picked up the bag of magic materials and walked towards the door, and Chen Xiaodong then followed Linus away.

After the two left, Lao Wang took out a pack of cigarettes, lit them with matches, took a deep breath, and muttered to himself: "Is there really an identical ghost hand in this world?" ”

…………

"This is my house." Linus said, pointing to a large tree in front of him.

Chen Xiaodong took a look at the trees in front of him, the entrance to the tree door was not large, and there was nothing particularly outstanding, but after pushing the door open, it was a large and wide field, there was only one bed in the cabin, and the bed was full of drawings, and there was something similar to a stove on the far left, and a pile of iron and the like, and the room was very clean.

Linus put down a pile of magic materials, took out his hammer, looked at Chen Xiaodong and said, "Do you remember anything?" ”

"No," Chen Xiaodong shook his head.

Linus didn't ask much, he walked directly to the stove and lit the fire, Chen Xiaodong looked at the bag of magic materials curiously, Chen Xiaodong walked over, picked up a black stone, and the information in his mind flashed.

"Obsidian, an ore with dark attributes, has a chance to produce a dark attribute effect after being forged and added."

Chen Xiaodong continued to take out a piece of iron and a bottle of potion.

"Fine-grade steel sheets, the essence of steel extracted by special extraction, can be forged to add hardness."

"Lower-level magic potions, medium quality, can briefly enhance magical power."

Herder's tears kept hinting at various introductions to magical materials in Chen Xiaodong's mind.

"I don't know if those alchemy recipes can be used in the Arad continent."

Chen Xiaodong suddenly remembered his sub-profession in the game, alchemist, although he hadn't played the game for a few years, but he still remembered the recipe of those years clearly, he had been obsessed with alchemy for a while, and his proficiency in alchemy reached level twelve, and his nickname was the god of alchemy.

"Drag that bag of magic materials over to me." Linus said to Chen Xiaodong.

Chen Xiaodong dragged a large bag of magic materials towards Linus's stove.

Rinus got the magic materials, first threw the pieces of steel into the furnace on fire, then smashed the obsidian with a hammer, poured in half a bottle of lower magic potion, and threw it into the furnace with a plate.

About ten minutes passed, Chen Xiaodong watched Linus suddenly take out the iron piece of steel from the iron clip, the steel piece was red, Linus waved his hammer and hit the steel piece hard, Chen Xiaodong looked at it and seemed to be about to break into a circle.

After beating it into shape, Linus took out the plate containing the obsidian, which had melted into a stream of black water. Then Linus poured the black water made of obsidian on top of the reddish steel sheet, making a huge mist sound, and then whispered some incantation, this process lasted five or six times, Chen Xiaodong watched Linnas's forging steps intently.

Half an hour later, Linus had made a ring of iron, with a few holes left under the iron, and Linus took out a rather long iron chain from the side of his stove, and carved some runes on the chain with a chisel.

A few minutes later, Linus put the iron chain engraved with runes into the ring iron block, and after installing it, he threw the entire iron block into the furnace, and suddenly said to Chen Xiaodong: "In the process of sealing, you must first release the ghosts and gods, then you may be devoured by the ghosts and gods, if you can resist the invasion of the ghosts and gods, you will have a chance to survive, if you can't bear it, you will lose your mind, then I have the right to kill you, you go and bring the blue and purple potions in the bag." ”

"If you give up the sealing chain now, you may be able to live a little longer with the rune seal." Linus added.

Chen Xiaodong's heart suddenly sank, and sure enough, the worst scene appeared. When he crossed over to the Arad continent, he felt that his fate seemed to be being dragged by him, and he only needed to be guided by fate, as if he was like a puppet.

"I'm ordinary"

This is now Chen Xiaodong's inner monologue, he doesn't have anything outstanding, he is just an ordinary person in real life, so that Chen Xiaodong suddenly came to a strange place, there is a danger of death everywhere, Chen Xiaodong He is just a weak human now, he has no outstanding advantages, the only advantage is that he knows the historical trend of the Arad continent, and there is a Held's tears that can analyze things, but in this Arad, where the jungle eats the strong, peace is impossible, The war of the Delos Empire will soon burn into the Duchy of Belmar, and the Delos Empire has a strong interest in ghost hands, and those who have ghost hands often end up tragically.

I want to live!

This is Chen Xiaodong's idea now, life is often unsatisfactory, he will always force you to make a choice, and there are often only two paths, and Chen Xiaodong's choice is just to simply live, and this simple life may be burdened with many things.

Now Chen Xiaodong has two choices, either control his own destiny or be controlled by others.

Take control of your own destiny, although the road ahead is foggy and full of unknown variables, it is possible not to see the sunrise tomorrow, or it is possible to leave your own legend on this continent.

"Whew" Chen Xiaodong took a deep breath, and after thinking about it, the whole person was much more relaxed, as if he had put down something, and walked towards Linnas after taking the potion in his hand.

"Of course I chose to seal, how can I know the result until the last minute." Chen Xiaodong said calmly to Linus.

"Aren't you afraid of death? This ghost hand of yours is not an ordinary ghost hand, it is a mutated ghost hand! The probability of the mutant ghost hand successfully sealing is no more than 30%. Linus glanced at Chen Xiaodong's ghost hand that was beginning to turn red, and said lightly.

"Of course I'm afraid of death, but I want to live more."
