Chapter 5 The Mysterious Blacksmith
After a few words of greeting with the village chief, and finding that there was no task to take, Lin Feng walked directly towards the entrance of the village with the Xuanyuan sword, at this time his location was the square of the novice village, which belonged to the safe area, and there were no monsters to level up.
Around the square, there are shops opened by NPCs, including pharmacies, grocery stores, tailor shops, etc., just when Lin Feng was about to leave, his eyes were on the blacksmith shop in a corner, saying that it was a blacksmith shop, but it was actually a dilapidated open thatched shed, and the area of the thatched shed was not large, probably only more than thirty or forty square meters.
A blacksmith was wielding a huge hammer and hammering it against a fiery red broadsword, and behind him, countless weapons hung on the wall, emitting a faint cold light.
"Uncle, are those weapons behind you for sale?" As a kendo master, Lin Feng was immediately attracted by this blacksmith's weapon, trotted over, and asked directly.
"You want to buy weapons?" The blacksmith put down the hammer in his hand and looked at Lin Feng: "Sword or knife?" ”
"Sword!" Lin Feng responded, his eyes were constantly looking at these weapons, although the grade of these weapons was not high, but at this stage, they were definitely artifacts.
"Nine Shadows Sword, up to cut Nine Shadows, down to Yellow Spring, bronze, 100 gold coins!" The NPC blacksmith directly took out the middle iron sword and picked a sword flower in front of Lin Feng.
"Is there anything cheaper?" Lin Feng shook his head with a wry smile, at this time, all his belongings were only 100 copper coins, which were still given by the system to novices.
"Chrysanthemum Sword! Normal attacks deal an additional 40 damage to Earth Dogs, the sword used by the first warrior, black iron weapons, 20 gold coins! The NPC blacksmith once again pulled out a black sword with a cold glow on the tip.
Seeing the NPC blacksmith take out this long sword, Lin Feng subconsciously took a step back, not to mention that he couldn't afford it, even if he could buy it, the name of this sword was too cold, and he wouldn't buy it if he had money!
"Uncle, is there anything cheaper?" Lin Feng cautiously probed.
"You don't have any money?" The NPC blacksmith looked Lin Feng up and down, ignored it, turned around and hung the chrysanthemum sword on the wall, and continued to wield the hammer and forge the weapon.
Seeing this, Lin Feng felt depressed in his heart. Sure enough, there is no money these days, and even NPCs look down on it!
Just as Lin Feng was about to leave, his eyes were attracted by a novice longsword behind the blacksmith, among the many top-notch weapons, this novice longsword seemed out of place, and it was precisely because of this that this novice longsword attracted Lin Feng's attention.
Although this beginner's longsword is exactly the same as the longsword in his backpack, it is at least twice as good in terms of sword! If it weren't for his unusually keen sword, ordinary people wouldn't have been able to show this at all.
"Uncle, how much is your novice sword?" Lin Feng's eyes burned as he looked at the novice long sword behind the NPC blacksmith.
"5 gold!"
"Uh......" Lin Feng took out the 100 copper coins in his backpack and discussed with the blacksmith: "Uncle, I only have 100 copper coins here, how about I use this money plus this novice sword to exchange it with you?" ”
"You want this long sword? It's not that this sword can't be given to you, but you have to do something for me. The NPC blacksmith put down the hammer again and looked at Lin Feng meaningfully.
Seeing the blacksmith's ill-intentioned look, Lin Feng felt that it was a conspiracy, and his heart was a little drummed.
"Ding! System Prompt: Congratulations on successfully triggering the hidden quest [Lost Remnant Sword]! A system prompt suddenly sounded in Lin Feng's ears.
"It is rumored that there is a broken sword left in the Black Dragon Pool in this village, as long as you promise to help me get the broken sword, I will give this sword to you!" The NPC blacksmith squinted his eyes and looked at Lin Feng with a smile.
"Okay, I promise you!" Lin Feng immediately nodded, it would be a fool not to accept a task, not to mention a hidden task!
"Ding~ System Prompt: You accept the hidden quest [Lost Remnant Sword]! Description: This remnant sword is rumored to be stored in his treasure cave by the demon dragon Long Ao, go to the Black Dragon Pond (level 10-20) area to find the location of the demon dragon Long Ao, kill it, and then bring the remnant sword back to the mysterious blacksmith in the novice village, you will get a very rich reward! Mission Failure: Level 0, Mission Time: 7 days Time Remaining: 6 days 23:59:23 seconds ......"
"Ding! System Prompt: Congratulations on successfully obtaining the [Excellent Novice Sword]"
"Uncle, this Black Dragon Pond ......" Lin Feng was still about to ask, but found that the NPC blacksmith once again buried himself in refining the weapon in his hand, and no longer paid attention to himself at all.
"Sure enough, I was trapped!" Seeing this, Lin Feng couldn't help but curse in his heart. Although he also knew that the Black Dragon Pool was a monster area above level 10, but at this moment, with his ability, it was impossible to buy this excellent novice long sword.
Shaking his head helplessly, in the early stage of this novice, if you want to improve your strength, the fastest way is to improve your equipment, thinking of this, Lin Feng immediately opened his backpack and took out the excellent novice sword in it.
【Excellent Novice Sword】(Pale Device)
Attack: 3-6
Required Level: 0
Required Occupation: None
Description: The novice longsword, which has been reforged by a mysterious blacksmith, has become very sharp......
"Hiss......" Lin Feng suddenly gasped, glanced at the blacksmith who was still struggling to forge weapons, and was a little surprised in his heart, what kind of remnant sword could make a blacksmith who could forge a level 0 pale weapon into an excellent weapon so obsessed.
Without thinking about it anymore, Lin Feng directly changed the excellent novice sword in his hand, and his attack power suddenly skyrocketed, and the whole person also felt a lot more comfortable.
Looking at the replaced Xuanyuan Sword, Lin Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly handed the Xuanyuan Sword to the blacksmith, and asked seriously: "Uncle, please help me take a look at this sword, what does the Holy Sword Will on it mean?" ”
Hearing this, the blacksmith raised his head and glanced at the Xuanyuan Sword handed over by Lin Feng, in his opinion, the little guy in front of him was completely fine, if the other party had a powerful weapon, how could he come to him to buy a weapon.
It's just that this inadvertent glimpse made the blacksmith's expression instantly change from inadvertent to incredulous, and his eyes were also staring at Xuanyuan Sword non-stop.
After a long time, the blacksmith withdrew his gaze and sighed, "If I'm not mistaken, this sword should be the legendary Human Emperor Sword!" Hey, it's a pity that not only has it lost all its divine power, but the sword spirit has also fallen into a deep sleep, so the grade has dropped from the ancient artifact to the pale level......"
Hearing this, Lin Feng's heart suddenly turned over, forcibly suppressing the shock and incomprehension in his heart, Lin Feng looked at the blacksmith with a sincere face and said, "Uncle, please also ask you to solve the kid's doubts." ”
The blacksmith took the Xuanyuan Sword from Lin Feng's hand, stroked the sword body, and sighed lightly again, then said slowly: "This Holy Sword Will is a unique characteristic of the Xuanyuan Holy Sword, as for what its true use is, you will know right away." ”
After that, the blacksmith asked Lin Feng to overlap the Excellence Novice Sword with the Xuanyuan Sword, and suddenly a golden light flashed, and then a system prompt sounded:
"Ding~ Whether to use the excellent novice sword for sacrifice, after the sacrifice, the Xuanyuan sword will gain all the attributes of the excellent novice sword, and the sacrificed excellent novice sword will lose all the attributes!"
"Sacrifice!" After reading the system prompt, Lin Feng finally understood what sacrifice was. To put it bluntly, it is to perfectly move the attributes of other sword-based weapons to the Xuanyuan Sword.
"Ding, the sacrifice was successful, and the attributes of the Xuanyuan Sword have been improved!" At the same time as the system prompt sounded, a golden light flashed, and a brand-new Xuanyuan Sword suddenly appeared in Lin Feng's hand.
Lin Feng immediately glanced at the brand-new Xuanyuan Sword and the sacrificed Outstanding Novice Sword, and sure enough, as the system prompted, the attributes of the Xuanyuan Sword had become 3-6, and the Outstanding Novice Sword had lost all its attributes.
"Boy, now you know what the Holy Sword Will is, but I want to remind you that this Holy Sword Will cannot be used beyond the ranks. In other words, the next time you sacrifice, you can only use the black iron rank, and you must sacrifice one order at a time. The blacksmith glanced at Lin Feng, and when he saw that Lin Feng was a little disappointed, he said, "However, if you can awaken the sword spirit, then you can sacrifice beyond the rank, as for how many grades you will cross, then I don't know." ”
Hearing this, Lin Feng, who was originally a little disappointed, was overjoyed, and said in a somewhat excited tone: "Uncle, then do you have any way to wake up the sword spirit?" ”
"Hehe, the old man naturally has a way." The blacksmith nodded confidently, and then his tone sank: "However, you better bring back what I want first." Otherwise, you don't deserve this holy sword at all. Okay, the old man has finished speaking, so leave quickly if it's okay, don't hinder me from forging here. ”
With that, the blacksmith directly issued an order to evict the guest.
"Raise the level first, and then go to find the Black Dragon Pool! Xuanyuan Sword is worthy of it by no one but me! Caressing the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand, a touch of arrogance flashed in Lin Feng's eyes.
Leaving the blacksmith shop, Lin Feng strode directly towards the leveling area of level 2-5.
"Another stupid fork, level 0 actually ran to the leveling area of level 2-5 to die!"
"At first glance, you are a novice!"
Outside the novice village, a four-person team saw Lin Feng running to the level 2 leveling area, and immediately became disdainful, and the members of several teams next to him responded one after another.
Lin Feng turned a deaf ear to this, when he entered the server, it was only 5 minutes to open the server, and now most players are gathered in the novice map of level 0-2, and there are almost no people in the monster area of level 2-5.
The attack power of the level 2 monster is about 5 points, with his current attack power of 9 points, as long as you are careful, you will still be fine, unless you meet a level 4 monster, otherwise, even if it is a level 3 monster, you can't kill him in one hit.
