Chapter Seventy-One: The Mysterious Merchant

It was only when Rhodes was brought into the dwarven clan stone hall that he realized that he had accepted someone's invitation.

Looking at the dying, old dwarf elder in front of him, Rhodes was in awe of it.

- One of the Four Great Sages of Ash!

- The Realm of Secret Techniques!

- Dwarven Prophet!

…………

Vertes!

In Rod's memory, this was a big man who directly changed the tide of the entire Ash world.

Many people say that if he hadn't lived in this turbulent and terrible era, with the contribution of Virtis, he would have been exalted by many forgers!

In many doctrines of the East.

World-changing beings like Vertis are all people with "atmospheric luck", but this kind of person is often born to set off the children of fate.

Rod doesn't think so.

Virtis is Viltis, he is one of the most brilliant trendsetters of this era, he represents the highest achievement of the older generation, and he is also the legacy of the previous era to this era.

He himself represents a microcosm of an era.

In terms of combat power alone, the aged Vertis is indeed not the opponent of many strong men in the new era, but his name is destined to shine brighter than those strong ones.

Because the first type of "brave equipment" in the Ash world came from him.

- The Realm of Secret Techniques!

It's not a piece of equipment, it's not a set, it's a type of equipment.

Viltis directly created a category of equipment, "Essence Blessing Secret Technique Realm Broken Blade Breastplate", "Essence Blessing Secret Technique Realm Fury Tooth Necklace", "Essence Blessing Secret Technique Realm Wind Boots", ......

It was precisely because of the initiative of Vertis that another forging path was marked for the later forges.

And there are four such characters in this era.

They were hailed by later blacksmiths as the "Four Great Sages of Ash".

Of course.

With the emergence of geniuses in this era, many amazing brave equipment sets have appeared one after another, such as Mr. Root's Source, Phantom Fury, Blood Baptism and other second-phase suits.

There are even stronger third phase of the Brave Suit forged one after another.

However.

As a forerunner, Vertis is a mountain that they can't avoid no matter what, and he is a giant of his time.

…………

"Hello, young human friend," said Veltis's old voice with a hint of emotion.

Looking at Rod's young face, a trace of memory appeared on his face, as if he had returned to that young and wanton age.

"Hello, Dear Veltis!" Rod bowed slightly in response.

Veltis looked Rhodes up and down, nodded slightly, and he sighed: "It's really terrifying, this sword was forged by you?" ”

As he spoke, he pulled out the Shadow Lightbreaker.

Rhodes nodded and said frankly, "I forged the sword, but this forging technique is not something I can create. ”

"Very honest little one," Vertis smiled slightly

He naturally has his own judgment on this sword, and the creativity and ideas in it may be created by the active thinking of young people, but there are some things in a mature forging system that require a certain age and experience to do.

"The elder doesn't know what to do with me?" Rod asked calmly.

In the face of an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years, lies and deception are meaningless, not to mention that the person in front of him is still a very remarkable old man.

"Hehe, young people are just impatient."

Veltis smiled, not paying attention to Rod's straightforwardness, he pointed to the sword and said, "It's about it. ”

"I'm curious to know how you made this sword hide its enchantment properties?"

"Hide Enchantment ......"

Rod glanced at Vertis in surprise, and then he was a little stunned.

It seems that lightsabers are not very popular at this time.

It was understandable that the Great Elder didn't know the [Lightsaber Mastery] pre-skill, but Rhodes still had some doubts.

Many high-tier weapons have restrictions.

For example, the blessed weapons of the church have the effect of "divine blessing", which is basically forbidden to be used by the undead, and some weapons of the giant clan have the effect of "power punishment", which can only be used after passing the strength test......

Rod didn't believe that the Great Elder had seen so little.

"Isn't it confusing?"

Veltis's beard trembled and smiled, he held the lightsaber, and in Rod's surprised eyes, he actually activated the lightsaber!

"This ......," Rod looked at him in surprise.

"Hehe, this is the effect of my special imitation of this weapon's triggers," Veltis said, "I can indeed forge restricted weapons, but your sword is different. ”

"It's a lot like another weapon I've come across!"

"Another weapon?" Rhodes thought for a moment, judging from the similarity, there were too many weapons similar to the Shadow Light Breaker.

Followed by.

He spoke slowly, "That was when I was younger. ”

"I once met a very strange businessman, yes, that guy claimed to be a businessman, but I have never seen such a powerful businessman, and I still think it is incredible."

A trace of memory flashed in Viltis's eyes, and in addition to the memories, there was actually a little envy and regret in his eyes.

"At that time, it happened that our tribe was in a major crisis, and a terrible ancient evil suddenly appeared near the tribe, and when the tribe was facing a crisis, that strange merchant appeared."

Recalling that scene, his face still has doubts on his face.

"He sat a very ordinary wurmon with a bunch of strange weapons on his back, and he really looked like a foot merchant. The merchant made a deal with us in exchange for a piece of ore of unknown material that our tribe had been offering for generations...... He's going to help us defeat that monster! ”

Saying this, he laughed twice more and said to Rhodes, "I'm not afraid of your jokes." ”

"At that time, many people thought that that rare ore was a treasure of their ancestors, a rare and precious thing in the world, and it should never be handed over to outsiders."

"Man, sometimes it's so strange, when I didn't know the value of this stone, I regarded it as an ornament one by one, but after knowing the value, I would rather face death than throw away this ornament...... Greed is such a thing as a real thing that makes people ugly. ”

Vertis rambled on and on for a long time.

The old man is probably like this, he always likes to look at his children and grandchildren around his knees when he is old, tell the story of the past, they like to feel about life, they like to state their experience......

But maybe this is life, after the glory and blood, remember the past in a peaceful day.

Rod listened patiently.

Whether it is the respect for the elderly respected in the East, or Rod's own code of conduct, he does not reject the chatter of the elderly, in Rod's view, the chatter of the old people is not an alternative inheritance.

That's probably how it should be.

Rhodes had thought.

When he gets old one day, he may also tell these stories of the past.

At that time, those young people who carry the regrets and experiences of Rhodes' past may continue to go on an adventure with his will.

After the excitement of the past, the old adventurer passes on his will to the young, and in the dull and chattering, the old and the new alternate, and the salary is passed on from generation to generation.

“…… The mysterious merchant pulls out a weapon that glows with multicolored light! I saw that the golden light flashed at that time, and he killed the terrible evil creature with a single blow! ”

Viltis finally put an end to his chatter.

"After that, the mysterious merchant left behind a weapon that resembles your sword, only to be damaged during the rise of Stormwind."

Veltis sighed regretfully.

It seemed that the weapon left behind by the mysterious merchant should mean a lot to him, otherwise the old man would not have a deep nostalgia in his eyes.

"It's a weapon that resembles this sword."

"The merchant once said that when the dwarves can successfully research the weapons that go with that sword, the dwarven forging will change the world!"

Veltis looked a little excited, and his eyes burst into an astonishing light.

This moment.

Rhodes managed to feel the might of this giant of the time.

He stared straight at Rhodes and said in a deep voice, "I may have succeeded!" But it wasn't until recent times that I realized I was failing! ”

"I want you to explain!"

Listening to Veltis's words, Rhodes was thoughtful.

And he looked at Rod thoughtfully, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and immediately, his palm flipped over, and a small golden crystal appeared in his hand.

"This is also what the merchant left behind!" Veltis said to Rhodes.

Rod looked at the small golden crystal, and already knew in his heart who the merchant was.

Meantime.

He also seemed to know what the Great Elder was asking about.
