"And where is this legendary blacksmith?" Shihua asked awkwardly.

"It's not far away, it's just over the hill." The captain of the guard pointed to a hill in the distance and said, "There is a Sky Furnace halfway up the mountain, and the best weapons in the entire Tamria Continent can only be forged there. ”

"Thank you for informing me."

Under the guidance of the captain of the guard, Bai Yan and Shihua went to visit the legendary blacksmith Erlinde, who lived in Snowman City.

Erlinde's comradeship is not controlled by the Xueman forces, and even Barguf can't command Erlinder to do things, he will only forge equipment according to his own wishes.

"Ding—"

"Ding—"

The crisp thud sounded halfway up the mountain, and before he could reach the Sky Furnace, a wave of heat rushed into his face, and a red magma flowed from above into the magma pool below, and a gray-haired but muscular old man was concentrating on the anvil next to him.

"Is Your Excellency Erlinder?" Shihua asked.

Erlinder put down his work and said in a deep voice, "Yes, it's me." ”

"I heard that you are the best blacksmith in the continent of Tamria, could you please help us forge a set of armor? We will bring our own materials and we will pay you when we finish them. ”

"No, I never help outsiders forge weapons." Erlinder rejected Shihua's request, even if Shihua offered to pay him, he didn't agree, yes, a master like this is not short of money at all, and his pursuit of money is much weaker.

"Please think about it, it's the Fire Dragon Armor."

"What!? Dragon armor? Erlinde's attitude suddenly changed 180°, and it was difficult to control his excitement: "Do you have the bones of a dragon?" ”

"Yes, it's at the gate of the city, it's so lively, hasn't the master received any news?"

"I don't like to meddle in things, I'm all about forging, and if you really have dragon bones and dragon scale materials, I can help you build one."

"Well, that's great."

"And which of you is going to wear dragon armor?" Erlinder looked at Shihua and then at Michelle.

Shihua has TEK armor, so the dragon armor will be given to Michelle, which is also the meaning of Bai Yan.

Shihua put her hand on Michelle's shoulder and said, "Give it to my little sister." ”

"Huh!? Don't you want Sister Ten Flowers? Michelle didn't expect this set of armor to be customized for her, it was a dragon armor, plus it was from the hands of the legendary blacksmith Erlinder, maybe it was the strongest armor in the whole continent, the dragon plate armor has a solid defense, and the body moving parts are replaced by dragon scales, flexibility and defense are superb.

Shihua smiled slightly, and said softly, "Michelle will be very dangerous without her own armor, and the White King and I don't want to see you get hurt." ”

“... Then thank you Bai Wang and Sister Shihua, I will definitely cherish it! Michelle couldn't help but be a little moved, the mist swirled in her eyes, Bai Yan and Shihua could give her such a precious thing, she couldn't repay this kindness no matter what, you must know that when she was in the caravan before, she often ate the last meal but didn't have the next meal, and only after following Shihua and Bai Yan did she feel the meaning and warmth of life.

"Don't cry, it's not good to cry."

Shihua bent down to wipe the tears on Michelle's cheeks, Bai Yan didn't say anything, Shihua's reaction was very cold most of the time, with a poker face, it was rare to see her smile, and it was rare to see her show a gentle expression, but it didn't mean that her heart was cold, and when taking care of Michelle, she couldn't help but play the role of a sister.

"Then I'll record the data for you first." Erlinde picked up a ruler to measure Michelle's height and measurements, and then said with a headache: "Forging armor for a little girl who is still developing is the most troublesome, basically a new set every year, and the child grows quickly." ”

"It doesn't matter, anyway, the materials are gone, you can go hunting fire dragons to get them, and the eliminated equipment can also be used as collectibles or auctioned."

"A new set of dragon armor a year? Miss is so generous. "Erlinder thinks that the ten flowers are whimsical, are the dragons so easy to kill? Such an extravagant idea that even the Great Enhil of the Southern Empire did not dare to think of.

"Nothing is impossible." There is Bai Yan on the side of Shihua.

"Okay, whatever you want, you can put the materials here with me, come and get them after a while, and I will forge the most powerful dragon armor for you."

"Then there will be labor."

After entrusting Erlinder with forging dragon armor, Bai Yan and his party embarked on a journey to Roaring Peak.

*****

In the past week, Bai Yan and the others came to the mountain road of Gao Roar Peak, and they couldn't see the edge at a glance.

Despite the long years, it still looks intact, with the legendary 7,000 staircases.

In order to climb the world's highest peak, Michelle and Shihua have prepared thick cold suits, and if you have hypothermia, you will be in trouble, which is not a joke.

The group climbed the mountain from the morning to the top of the mountain in the afternoon, and there were fewer and fewer pine trees on the side of the road, only the low bushes that grew messily, shaking violently in the increasingly rapid mountain wind, and the sudden drop in temperature made Bai Yan feel cold to the bone.

Seeing that the road ahead was covered with a thin layer of snow, everyone realized that they had crossed the snow line, and it was estimated that the altitude here was already 3,000 meters.

The town of Teide below the mountain was no longer visible, the rolling snow and mist obscured everything in the valley, and everyone looked at the winding mountain road, not knowing how far it was from the summit, let alone how long it would be to walk.

Along the way, except for one or two pilgrims meditating on the side of the road, Bai Yan did not meet anyone else, and even if there were, they were frozen dead, and every year there were countless pilgrims who wanted to see Graybeard, and countless pilgrims were defeated by the blizzard and did not dare to mention the matter of going up the mountain again.

The wind howled relentlessly, like an iron whip struck a person.

"Whew—it's so cold—" Michelle shivered from the cold, her face covered in snow and frost, and a little shivering would cause a large amount of snow to fall from her shoulders, and even if she was wearing a thick cotton jacket and a hood made of beast fur, the cold wind still poured in from all directions.

Shihua didn't say anything, and stood in front of Michelle, blocking the oncoming wind and snow for her: "We have been climbing since the morning, the sun is about to set, and the temperature will be lower after nightfall, we urgently need to find a cave to hide from the blizzard." ”

Shihua's helmet panel is also frozen, and the UI prompts that the surrounding temperature is also close to minus 12 degrees Celsius, which is really cold, and if it continues to freeze like this, the TEK armor will stop working.

Connor clings to Bai Yan tightly, although she has white fluff to keep out the cold, and thick fat, but no creature likes a cold environment, after Bai Yan evolved the fire gland, there seems to be a burning furnace in her body, very warm, Connor likes to stick to Bai Yan.

"yes, we have to find a place to hide from the snow." Bai Yan realized that it was not a way to go on like this, and he urgently needed to find a place to rest, and then continue to climb after the sun came out the next day.

Everyone had never experienced such a violent blizzard, the wind was like a giant hand, rolling up the snow in the air and on the ground, slashing their heads and faces, trying to sweep the climber down the cliff, Bai Yan's face was stinged by the wind, and he had to squint his eyes and try to move forward, the snowflakes flying in the sky seriously affected everyone's vision, and they couldn't see anything ten steps away.

Michelle and Shihua's boots made deep footprints on the snow, which was almost knee-high and extremely difficult to walk.

Suddenly, Bai Yan found a woman lying on the snow not far away, which was not a strange thing, he had already seen many pilgrims who had frozen to death along the way.

It's just that the woman still has a breath, and her heart is still beating weakly.
