"Do you possess the Lord of the Void alone......"

Thinking that his data template showed the damaged Star Spirit Contract Seal, Chu Ge showed a hint of memory.

Extraordinary natural appearance, the favor of the gods, Ino did not get these two when he was a child, but he has a sincere and pure heart.

During a play between young children, he and Aya stumbled and slipped into a crevice in a cave and fell to an island floating in an unknown plane, the Astral Spirit Realm.

The huge figure hovering in the sky, the red dragon who is in charge of good and evil, and the Lord of the Sky was attracted by the purity of the two, and after condensing the two different contract marks of light and darkness, he sent the two back to the cave and sealed the crack in the plane.

When the other three companions learned of this, they were amazed, envious, and curious, but Denilos, who knew the truth of his guilt, sternly warned the two of them, forbidding them to summon the Lord of the Sky.

The ban was observed by the duo until the catastrophe at Silva's Winter Veil five years ago.

"You, do you have the impression that Aya is that kind of person?" Chu Ge suddenly asked.

Yu didn't answer the question, but said in a deep voice:

"The events of that day are clearly unfolding before our eyes, and although you are unconscious after that, the facts of what happened will not change."

Chu Ge didn't justify anything, and the "facts" of that scene were indeed seen by many people, including Ino.

The funny thing is that as the original bearer of the incident, Ino has never had any resentment towards Aya, and the self who obtained Ino's memory in his previous life has the same emotions towards Aya as Yuu.

Chu Ge couldn't help but let out a self-deprecating whisper:

"You can't see the truth, but you can perceive the truth, is that what makes you different from it?"

"What did you say?" Yu asked, confused.

Chu Ge shook his head and said with a smile: "It's nothing. ”

In Ino's memory, when that incident first happened, Yuu's attitude was the most stubborn of all people, and he insisted that Aya would not do that, thinking that there must be some misunderstanding, and firmly believed that Aya would come back and explain everything clearly.

But as the days passed, no matter how Yuu waited, Aya never appeared, and Ino fell into a long-term coma due to the after-effects of the disaster, and it took two months to gradually recover.

You's good expectations passed with time, and along with it, there was a deeper resentment than everyone else, and it wasn't until Aya called with her life just now that she left a part of this resentment quagmire.

However, if you want to really let Yu let go of her past resentments, it is impossible for Aya to do it alone.

Because, the "facts" that Aya sees are fundamentally different from the "facts" that Ino and the others see, which is also the source of misunderstandings.

As for the truth of the misunderstanding, Aya is not clear, Yu is not clear, and Eno may be aware of it, but it is also unclear.

But Chu Ge, who came back from three years later, knows everything!

Of course, he will definitely not say it directly now, the more powerful the trump card, the more it must be left for the critical moment to play an effect.

Chu Ge did not continue the topic of Aya, but said:

"You should have also received a notice to explore the labyrinth, although it will only start the day after tomorrow, but I plan to go and replenish it now, do you want to go together?"

Yuu was still not in a good mood, and she shook her head, indicating that she wanted to go back and rest.

After sending You back to Xia Lei's residence, Chu Ge came to the southeast of the royal capital, where the sound of cries and metal colliding was heard one after another.

Compared with the other two old chambers of commerce in the royal capital, the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, which has just settled in, is a little worse in terms of scale and flow, even if the managers on Lawrence's side continue to use strategies and efforts to smooth out the gap, but unfortunately the results are not very good.

For Chu Ge, with the red crystal card, he was naturally standing in front of the street on the side of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.

Although the jagged dagger has regained its luster in Noah's hall, most of the monsters in the labyrinth are much taller than him, and there is no advantage in fighting with the dagger.

(Because the storage space in the Ice Hell was full, he was unable to take the Bronze Heavy Sword with him when he escaped, and left it in the Ice Hell with him.) ）

His pockets had completely dried up, and the remaining non-universal gold coins were counted in a slap.

In order to get a weapon that could temporarily deal with the monsters in the labyrinth, he had to consider selling some of his equipment that was of little use - which meant that he was going to be slaughtered.

While he didn't expect anything in return, Lawrence's salespeople might be a little more generous when it comes to his so-called "high-level customers."

******

After informing the girl at the counter of his intention, the other party led him to a blacksmith shop in the Chamber of Commerce.

This store is obviously not a few years old, but after entering, the environment inside is completely different.

The smell of iron and fire fills the vast workshop, the smell of charcoal and steam fills the air, and the constant sound of banging echoes through the slightly old room.

Professional matters need professionals to carry out, and Chu Ge is not dissatisfied with everything in front of him, because the girl told him that this is the limit of the Red Crystal's permission.

At the stove closest to the entrance, two sturdy young men were grappling with a red-hot piece of iron.

One person uses pliers to hold the iron in place, and the other picks up the hammer and strikes it vigorously, and the brilliant sparks fly in all directions.

"I'm the boss here, do you have anything to do?"

The person who opened the question was a middle-aged man with a wrinkled face, his overalls had been burned with many small holes, and he was resting on a chair with a small wooden stick in his hand.

Chu Ge handed the black half-body armor he was carrying in his hand to the boss, and said straight to the point:

"I want you to help me with this piece of chain mail."

[Feuerbach's Gift (Bloodline Binding)], which was taken from the player who died in battle when Midgar killed the Alien Beast.

Because of the special premise of the use of this chain mail, both active and passive skills cannot be activated, so Chu Ge can only use it as a high-strength ordinary armor.

The old blacksmith took the half-armour, and a look of curiosity flashed in his eyes when he saw the clasps on it that resembled the fibers of biological muscles.

"The quality of this chain mail is very good, and it uses a very high casting technique, in order not to affect its special effect, I only process it within my ability, what are you going to do with it?"

Even if he is very interested in this armor, he knows his own ability, and he may be able to do it with simple processing, but deep transformation is absolutely impossible.

In fact, his level is not much different from the person who cast this piece of chain mail, but the casting method of this piece of chain mail is too special, so he is not sure.

Chu Ge replied: "It doesn't take too many skills, my request is very simple, you just need to melt it away." ”

"Melt?" The old blacksmith opened his mouth, and the small stick in his hand fell to the ground.

"That's right, you just need to melt it off, this chain mail has added a part of active black gold, I need you to separate it, and the remaining materials will be deducted from the manual fee, and the Chamber of Commerce will directly purchase it."

The temperature in the blacksmith's shop was very high, and in addition to the six burned-out stoves that were constantly running, there were other blacksmiths pouring molten iron into the model in front of the iron frame.

Not long after entering, Chu Ge felt a little sticky underneath his clothes.

"Is this all it takes......

The old blacksmith touched his scum, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly asked Chu Ge,

"Are you in a hurry to use the active black gold inside?"

The old blacksmith's curiosity just now and his current performance all fell into Chu Ge's eyes, so he lied and immediately said:

"Of course, otherwise how could I have taken it straight back to the oven?"

The old blacksmith's face was a little more unwilling, and he asked without giving up:

"Is it possible to delay it for a few days? Reactive black gold is usually used in the final steps of forging high-grade armor, so there should be some time before that, right? ”

Chu Ge glanced at the black chain mail in embarrassment, and his tone was a little hesitant:

"It's a little troublesome, that one needs to be cast urgently......"

"Is that so? That's a pity, I'll help you melt it right now. ”

Suddenly, the old blacksmith's attitude changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and he picked up the chain mail and walked directly towards the stove, making Chu Ge's unfinished words choke in his throat all of a sudden.

After noticing that Chu Ge was stunned in place, the old blacksmith turned around and said to him with a sneer:

"You have no intention of using activated black gold at all, if you really plan to use it for casting, you can just let the foundry smelt it yourself, why do you even come to the Chamber of Commerce to do it?"

After seeing his lie exposed, Chu Ge didn't care, but slapped his palms lightly as if approving, and said with a smile:

"It's amazing, it's really not in vain that people are old and refined, since that's the case, then we will trade fairly, you can take it and melt it, and wait for the business house to come to evaluate it."

“……”

In the face of Chu Ge's conspiracy, the old blacksmith did not move, and after squinting at Chu Ge for a few seconds, he turned around and walked to the stove again.

One step, two steps, three steps...... Until he picked up the combustion material and was about to ignite it, Chu Ge didn't react at all.

"Okay okay, you win!"

The old blacksmith complained helplessly, put the chain mail back in a safe place, and said to Chu Ge with a dark face,

"I'll tell you directly, I'm interested in this chain mail, and I want to observe how it is cast while smelting and decomposing, so the decomposition time may be greatly extended."

"You can offer your own price, and if it's appropriate, I'll consider accepting it."

"I'm not a good negotiator, but I definitely don't like to be taken advantage of!"

Obviously he was on the side of the request, but the old blacksmith was unexpectedly a little arrogant, but Chu Ge didn't care, just walked towards the wall of the blacksmith shop, admiring the weapons hanging on the wall one by one.

He stopped in front of a brand-new two-handed sword.

Although well-made, this two-handed sword has not undergone any special processing, and the materials used are only the usual ones, the rarity of which is bronze, and it is one of the most common weapons in the blacksmith shop.

Chu Ge took off the long sword, and after swinging it vigorously a few times, he said to the old blacksmith:

"It's pretty easy to use, so let's use it as an extra cost."

"Is that okay?"

The old blacksmith was stunned, he was originally ready to bleed, but Chu Ge only chose the most ordinary weapon, under this kind of gap, he actually had a feeling in his heart that he had earned it.

Chu Ge smiled bitterly and said:

"Or else? I said I wanted a fair deal, I was just joking with you, do you want me to choose the most expensive one? ”

This is not the kind of Midgar who can walk away after extorting a sum of money and patting his ass.

He still has to mix in the royal capital for a long time, and if he makes his reputation stink because of this little profit, it will be a waste of time.

"Deal!"

For fear that Chu Ge would regret it, the old blacksmith immediately beckoned his apprentice to bring the contract of the Chamber of Commerce and made an agreement with Chu Ge.

After collecting the agreement, Chu Ge specially explained to the old blacksmith the ability of the chain mail to automatically transform the protector, and finally instructed:

"Just put this chainmail in the water, it will automatically repair the damage to the surface like a creature breathing, I hope this message will help you in your observations."

Seeing that Chu Ge was so understanding, the old blacksmith suddenly felt a little guilty about his attitude just now, he glanced at the two-handed sword that Chu Ge was holding, and after struggling for a few seconds, he said:

"Why don't you choose a new one, it doesn't matter if you choose the better one, I won't be angry."

Chu Ge laughed, waved his hand at the old blacksmith and said:

"If you really don't want to go, just if you owe me a favor, I'll come to you next time I have difficulties."

After saying that, he left the blacksmith's shop, leaving the old blacksmith standing at the door.

"Cunning Boy......"

The old blacksmith glanced at the chain mail in his hand, smiled and shook his head.

Although he knew that the other party was using the method of radish and stick, he strangely did not feel the slightest disgust in his heart.

"Teacher Hervey, I seem to have heard someone talk about that teenager just now."

A young apprentice took a few sips from his glass of water, wiped the sweat from his face and said to the old blacksmith.

"Oh? Do you know him? The old blacksmith raised an eyebrow.

"It's not me, it's my younger brother, he saw a person in the first level of the national college entrance test, and the appearance described was somewhat similar to the teenager just now."

In fact, his younger brother only said a few key words such as "male", "white hair", "dwarf", and "appearance comparable to that of a high elf", but he really guessed it.

"The freshmen of the National Academy are very good." The old blacksmith nodded, indicating that he understood.

Seeing the appearance of the teacher, the young apprentice immediately continued:

"Not only that, but my brother also said that that young man entered the academy with the first grade of freshmen, maybe he will have the opportunity to be promoted to extraordinary in the future!"

"First freshman...... Hearing this, the old blacksmith was very interested, and said to himself,

"Then he may be heading to the Great Labyrinth in a few days, I remember that there seems to be a special shoulder guard hidden in the depths of the Freshman Trial Ground, in which area?"

The young apprentice asked curiously, "What are you talking about?" ”

"A treasure given by the previous king, no one has been able to get it until now...... The difficulty is designed like that, of course, no one can get it, it's really picky, it's really strict. ”
