Chapter 143: A Great Harvest
War College, Martial Arts Arena.
"Hah...... Ha ......" Fang Yan gasped and looked at the person opposite with a bright smile, "Ruiwen, it's not bad to come to practice occasionally, right?" ”
Rui Wen's breathing also seemed to be very short, but after all, it was a girl who didn't care about her image like Fang Yan, wiped her sweat neatly, and smiled back at Fang Yan: "Hmm." ”
During his time at the War College, Fang Yan came to the martial arts arena almost every day to find someone to practice, and he had studied with Niu Tou, Stone Man, Jax, and Sivir, and it was the first time he had fought with Rui Wen. Because it's a competition, just to move the body and maintain the state, it's quite rare to be able to have a good time like today without using all your strength.
Sitting on the chair on the sidelines, drinking ice water and wiping his sweat, Fang Yan glanced at the broken sword that Rui Wen placed on the side of the chair, and said curiously: "Now, Rui Wen, your sword?" ”
Don't change a weapon?
“…… I broke it myself. After being silent for a moment, Rui Wen closed her mouth and said no more, obviously not wanting to speak, Fang Yan also wisely did not ask again, and gently lifted the topic.
Touched by Fang Yangang's words, Rui Wen fell into a memory: when she was young, she struggled in Noxus. Join the army and get ahead. Kill with blood, stand out step by step, and be given Rune Blade by the High Command...... Then came the turning point in her life. Ionian Wars. From glorious battles to destruction and carnage, surrounded by Ionian forces, Sinjid's indiscriminate bio-cannonballs are ushered in...... After escaping, Riven decides to start a new life, smashing her rune blade, symbolizing the severance of ties with the past and the beginning of a wandering life as she pleases. She has been looking for an opportunity to atone for her sins and fight in her own way for the true Noxian spirit in her mind.
When she broke the rune blade, Ruiwen made a vow: when she finds her true value, it will be the day when the broken sword is reforged.
Riven is still immersed in memories of the past. Suddenly, I heard Fang Yan beside me asking, "Hey, Rui Wen, when are you going to leave the War College?" ”
Before Rui Wen could react, she was stunned, and then looked back at Fang Yan: "What?" ”
Fang Yan took a sip of juice and said casually: "I'm going to leave recently, let's see if I can find a companion on the road." ”
"Leave?".
"Yes," Fang Yan nodded, "Everything that needs to be done has been done." It's not interesting to stay here, so it's better to leave early. ”
"Where are you going?" Riven blinked.
Fang Yan thought for a moment and said, "I haven't made a final decision yet, maybe I will return to Ionia directly." Or maybe go to Shurima first, there is still an account to be settled. Either way, I'm sure I'm going to stop by Piltover to see a friend. ”
"Ionia......" Riven whispered. Looking up at Fang Yan, "I also want to go to Ionia." It's okay to be together. If you go directly to Ionia, then go together, if you go to Shurima first. I'll be waiting for you right here. ”
"Okay, it's decided." Fang Yan smiled brightly.
As soon as they finished the activity and didn't want to move, the two began to exchange some martial arts experience, and when they were talking about it, a familiar figure appeared in the martial arts arena.
"Hi, Sivir." Fang Yan waved his hand and said hello. Hearing Fang Yan's voice, Xiwei walked straight to this side, sitting on another chair beside Fang Yan with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, "Fang Yan, it's quite leisurely." ”
Fang Yan poured a glass of juice for Xavier and said, "Come and exercise?" ”。
Sivir took a sip of juice and stared at Fang Yan's face: "No, I came to find you all the way, Fang Yan." ”
"Huh?" Fang Yan tilted his head sideways and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's the mission of the War College." Xavier said, his eyes slightly looking at Rui Wen to the side, "The War College has entrusted me to discuss something with you, something very important. ”
Rui Wen naturally understood the meaning of Xavier's words, and immediately stood up and said, "You talk first, and then I'll go to exercise." As he spoke, he picked up the broken sword and walked to the martial arts arena again, leaving only Fang Yan and Xiwei alone.
"What is the War College looking for me?" Although he had already guessed, Fang Yan still asked deliberately.
Sivir smiled lightly and joked, "Mr. Fang Yan, the youngest forging master in the Valoran Continent, has recently completed two powerful pieces of equipment......
Fang Yan said speechlessly: "Don't give me a high hat, the title of forging master, even if you forge top-level equipment, you don't dare to call it casually, I'm still far behind." ”
"Sooner or later." Sivir said firmly, and then looked Fang Yan up and down with appreciative eyes, with a hint of surprise in his tone, "Originally, I knew that you were a forger, but I didn't expect your forging skills to be so profound...... These two pieces of equipment are not something that ordinary blacksmiths can forge, and I really admire you. ”
Feeling a little uncomfortable by Sivir's burning gaze, Fang Yan coughed and said, "Let's get down to business." I sent the data of those two pieces of equipment to the War College before, and I was going to exchange the equipment for contributions, as long as I went through the formal procedures to inspect the goods, set the price, and then deliver them, why did you still come to me? ”
Well, Fang Yan was pretending, why did he come to him, Fang Yan was very clear in his heart. The [Sand Binding Machine] is just that, although it is a powerful piece of equipment, it is not worthy of the attention of the War College, the real key is the [Black Fire Cannon]. The additional runic power of the [Black Fire Cannon] is already stronger than that of the [Sand Binding Machine], and what is even more terrifying is its effect - this is not a one-man equipment, but a strategic-level weapon!
Think about this scene, hundreds of black fire cannons are piled together, and the muzzles of the black holes are aimed in one direction...... Even the strongest city-states, Demacia and Noxus, would feel weak when they encountered such a situation...... Once it is obtained by the enemy, if you want to survive the shelling, you will have to fill it with countless lives. If Fang Yan had been in Bilgewater, he would have been able to forge a black fire cannon. Or do you need to be forced into that situation by Planck? Not too much, a dozen or so cannons were put on the ship. Just ask if you're afraid!
Such a terrible strategic weapon, of course, it is impossible for the War College to let it flow. Even all the news about the [Black Fire Cannon] was completely blocked and classified as top secret. After completing the work of blocking the news, the high-level leaders of the War College hurriedly held a meeting to make a decision: negotiate with the forger Fang Yan, let him keep all the news about the [Black Fire Cannon] secret, and promise not to make similar equipment to any force.
Is the War College greedy for the Black Fire Cannon? Of course, no force dares to say that it is not moved by it, and the same is true of the War College. However, the War College is a War College after all, and it was established to prevent war in Valoran. Therefore, after the decision, he gave up the idea of letting Fang Yan build black fire cannons on a large scale - in this way, although the War College has a strategic deterrent, it is not a good thing for the situation in the entire Valoran, and it will only make the atmosphere on the mainland tense, and the intensification of contradictions will become inevitable. Therefore, instead of doing this, the War College did everything possible to suppress the news about the [Black Fire Cannon] to avoid being known by anyone from any other force on the continent.
As for the black fire cannon that Fang Yan had already made, the higher-level officials of the War College meant to keep it for the first time, and did not rule out the possibility that it could be used in the future - well, the premise is that there are cannonballs, otherwise it is just a waste that has no effect...... Belch. It is not excluded that there are exaggerated fierce men who directly carry it and use it as a stick to smash people, so that the additional rune power can be used.
It was also because of the relationship of the [Black Fire Cannon] that Fang Yan's figure suddenly entered the field of vision of the high-level leaders of the War College and was treated as a key figure. Characters like Fang Yan. Even without the relationship of Master Dolan behind him, the War Academy would not do anything to provoke him, but would instead use the policy of softness to curry favor as much as possible. It would be nice if I could get to my side. However, this kind of thing can't be hot all at once, the most important thing is Fang Yan's own attitude. Therefore, after discussing with the high-level of the War College, the "Goddess of War" Xiwei, who was familiar with Fang Yan, was sent as the official representative of the War College to discuss things with Fang Yan.
After listening to Sivir's account. Fang Yan sorted out his thoughts for a moment and said, "Let's sort it out first, and then talk about it one by one." First of all, the War College wooed me, my attitude is still like that, I prefer to be free, don't mind? ”
Sivir put on a smile and said you're happy.
After taking a sip of juice, Fang Yan said again: "Let's talk about the Black Fire Cannon." The War College is still quite good, it doesn't breed too many ambitions, and it still looks at the situation in Valoran with a calm overall situation, which I admire. I can keep the news of the black fire cannon a secret, and I won't say anything about it. In addition, whether I will forge a strategic-level lethal weapon similar to the Black Fire Cannon in the future, it is difficult for me to say, after all, I feel that I can't forcibly suppress it, which is not a good thing for my forging path. However, I can promise that even if such equipment is forged, I will not tell anyone, let alone provide it to any forces in the Valoran continent, including my hometown of Ionia. ”
Saying these words, Fang Yan also considered carefully. No matter which city-state such a weapon appears, it is not a good thing for the situation on the entire continent, and in this regard, Yan and the War College have the same attitude. The current Fang Yan is no longer the hot-blooded boy he was at the beginning, if it was seven or eight years ago, he might have provided the Black Fire Cannon to Ionia to start a revenge war against Noxus, but now he would not do so. Yes, Fang Yan still has hatred for Noxus, but if he sacrifices countless people's lives for this hatred, Fang Yan's conscience can't get over it. It just so happened that the War College also had the same attitude, so Fang Yan pushed the boat down the river and said his thoughts, so that if something happened in the future, there would be the War College as his backing, a win-win situation.
Hearing Fang Yan's answer, Xavier also breathed a sigh of relief, the biggest purpose of coming to Fang Yan this time was achieved. Then Sivir looked up at Fang Yan and said, "It's great that you can think so, and the entire War College will thank you." And rest assured, you have made such a big sacrifice, the academy will not treat you badly, the contribution is only a small meaning, and it will give you a lot of privileges, and you will not be disappointed. ”
Fang Yan shrugged his shoulders, lay down comfortably on the chair and said, "Then, what are you going to do with the black fire cannon I made?" Destroy or stay? ”
Sivir said: "The academy higher-ups are ready to stay, after all, this may be the only black fire cannon in the world, isn't it?" ”。 Immediately, a pair of beautiful eyes turned to Fang Yan.
Fang Yan took a sip of juice. He took the cup and nodded, and smiled.
"Since it was decided to stay. Even if you don't use it forever, you still have to do the necessary protection. So. We want you to make some cannonballs and sell them to our academy at a price you can decide. ”
Fang Yan thought for a while, and said casually: "There are three kinds of shells, 50 contribution degrees for one ordinary lead shell, 200 black fire incendiary shells, 300 intensity blasting shells, and an upper limit of 100 shells, you can provide the materials, no problem, right?" ”
"Really cheap price. Fang Yan, you can actually slaughter them fiercely, the academy's financial resources are very thick, and I don't care about these details. Sivir smiled and joked at Fang Yan - she was telling the truth, as far as she personally needed to complete the goal, as for how much she spent, it didn't matter to her, it was better to send a favor to Fang Yan. The price that Fang Yan said was indeed very fair - although the materials were provided by the War College, the blacksmith sold technology and creativity, not to mention that Fang Yan was a monopoly business, and it was already a rare kind person to set this kind of price.
Fang Yan smiled indifferently. There is no need for these small profits, it is better to make a good impression on the War College, which is much more cost-effective than a hammer deal.
After the joke, Fang Yan didn't mean to change the price. Sivir's expression became serious: "Since you are not going to change the price, then this discussion is over, and I will talk about the remuneration that the War College will give you." The first is the buying and selling of two pieces of equipment. The Sandbinder is priced at 3000 contribution, and the Black Fire Cannon is priced at 4000 contribution. What do you think? ”
Fang Yan nodded approvingly and said with a smile: "The War College hasn't lowered the price much this time. It's hard to come by. ”
Sivir continued: "And then there's the cost of the shells. For 100 shells, we need 80 ordinary lead shells, 10 black fire incendiary shells, and 10 intensity blast shells, which add up to a total of 9,000 contributions. Tsk, shells are more expensive than two pieces of equipment, and sure enough, the most profitable ones are consumables. ”
In a good mood, Fang Yan joked: "How can it be so exaggerated, 100 shells are equal to 100 pieces of equipment, this is much harder." ”
Sivir smiled, and continued: "And then there is the compensation that the War College will give you, and this is the big one, hehe." The contribution is 10,000 points, which is very generous, and there is a contribution overdraft limit of 10,000, as well as the right to talk directly with the high-level of the War College, and the right to use part of the intelligence system of the War College, which you can achieve through the official website of the Academy, and there are many options on it. How is it? ”
"Deal." Fang Yan smiled and raised his glass.
Xiwei smiled and touched Fang Yan's glass, drank the juice in the cup, and teased: "Privileges are not counted, a one-time income of 26,000 contributions, tsk, envy, Fang Yan, I am really impressed by you." ”
A smile hung up on the corner of Fang Yan's mouth: "It's nothing, Sivir has been in the War College for so many years, and your savings have contributed tens of thousands, right?" ”
"Humph!" Xiwei glanced at Fang Yan and said angrily, "Are you turning a corner and saying that I'm old?" Fang Yan, a woman's age is taboo, I'm angry! ”
"Uh......" Fang Yan was stunned for a moment, and smiled awkwardly, Xiwei has always appeared in front of people with a heroic and decisive attitude, and this is the first time he has seen such a style...... I'm really not used to it. And Sivir's gaze at this time, with unbridled appreciation and slight teasing, came to his nose with a mature and seductive femininity...... Sure enough, it's a popular person.
"What, make me angry and don't invite me to Guns N' and Roses for a drink to make amends?" Sivir chuckled, and after speaking, he poked out his pink tongue slightly, licked the remaining juice at the corner of his mouth, and inadvertently showed his charm.
"No problem." Fang Yan calmed down and said happily, then stood up in Xiwei's surprised gaze and shouted in the direction of the martial arts arena, "Hey, Rui Wen, let's go have a drink together!" ”
Well, Fang Yan wouldn't say that it was because he couldn't withstand Xavier's aggressive gaze and was a little uneasy. (To be continued......)
