Chapter 41: The Prison Blade
Vince patted Joel on the back and said, "Let's go, don't keep Titch waiting too long." ”
"Wait a minute, Vins. ”
Vince looked back at the butler and said, "The butler doesn't need to persuade me anymore. I've made up my mind to go, and I can't do anything about my friends. ”
The butler smiled with relief and beckoned to the people beside him. The man took off a long brown box he was carrying on his back and handed it over with both hands.
"The lord of the castle heard about you, and when I left, he said that you should not stay in the city, so he gave me another thing. ”
Vins looked at the brown long box, didn't dare to take it directly, and asked, "What is this?"
"I don't know, but the lord of the castle only asked me to give it away, and he didn't say what it was. Please accept it, this is also a piece of kindness from the lord of the castle. ”
Vins hesitated, the gift from Freeman himself must be worth a lot, and he was worried that it would be a personal debt that would be difficult to repay after receiving it.
Joel saw Vins's hesitation, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Take it, it's the most important thing to save your life now." ”
The housekeeper also said to the side: "This hunt is a life-threatening life, with it, not only you, but also your friends have a better chance of survival." And for the city lord, you are still an important bargaining chip that you can't lose now, if you don't accept it, the city lord will never spare me!"
Vince was stunned, for Freeman's defense, he was not easy to mention in front of the butler, but he didn't expect the butler to say it directly, and now it is a situation that has to be accepted.
The servant handed the box to Vins, who had no reason to refuse, so he took it directly.
The box was heavy, and Vince estimated that it should be a weapon inside.
The butler patted the shoulders of Vince and Joel, who were standing beside him, with both hands, and said in a sincere tone, "Now is the most difficult time for Carriton, and all of us have no way back. If you still love this city, give all your passion in the Demonic Forest. At least, at least hold out for three days, the reinforcements begged by the lord will arrive in three days!"
"Finally," the butler took two steps back, took off his bowler hat and held it in his hand, and bowed deeply: "I wish you two martial arts prosperity!"
Vince and Joel also bowed and quickly left with Freeman's gift.
Walking down the street, Vince realized that the situation had deteriorated to the extreme. It was supposed to be a new area with a constant flow of people, but now there are few pedestrians on the road. In an environment full of rumors, everyone hid in their homes and prayed that the disaster would pass quickly.
Joel walked around the street, seemingly looking for something but couldn't find it, and yelled, "Damn it!
Vins asked, "What's wrong?"
"When I came, I came in a carriage in a hurry. I paid the coachman double the price, and told him to wait here and not go, and that we would have to sit back when we came out. This miscellaneous crumb actually ran away after taking the money!"
Not to mention horse-drawn carriages on the streets now, not even a single person can be seen. Joel and Wins could only run down the street.
"Where are you going now?
Joel shook his head and said, "I received the news last night, so I went to the street in advance to buy a lot of hunting supplies, and now they are all in my house. Let's go to my house to distribute the props first, and then get ready and then go to the Dark Moon to meet. ”
"Where's Teach?"
"Titch was at my house looking at the plumbing. Crick said he had new props for me, and he didn't know if Titch had received ......"
The two of them ran wildly down the street for a while, and Wince gasped and said, "Joe...... Joel, I think we might be ...... at this rate Maybe I won't be able to catch up!"
Joel gritted his teeth and said, "Can't catch up...... There are no props...... To go in is to die!"
But probably the god of fate had not completely abandoned the two, and they ran some distance to the edge of the new district, and a carriage that was still in business miraculously appeared on the street!
Joel grabbed the straw and immediately shouted, "Carriage ahead, wait a minute!"
The two ended up sitting on it at double the usual price.
In the carriage, Joel took out the pocket watch in his pocket and looked at it while adjusting his breathing, and said: "It's already twelve thirty o'clock, and it will take about fifteen minutes to get to our house from here. ”
"Why don't you go to the meeting place first and then assign it?"
Joel sighed heavily and said, "Hunting props are so expensive, and the plague has risen again, who will still have stock in their hands now?" All props are distributed according to the strength of the people in the Dark Moon Internal Affairs, and when the time comes, those who don't have the strength to distribute the props will have to target us." Really bring the props to divide again.,Just entered the forest, I'm afraid the monster hasn't died yet.,We were killed first and shared the spoils.。 ”
"Why don't you plan a reasonable distribution? This will only make those who have no strength lose their lives in vain!"
Joel smiled bitterly and said, "If it's just us Darkmoon's people, then of course it's easy to say." But the problem is that there will be a large number of adventurers joining this time, and the reasonable distribution of props must be based on the premise of reasonable team allocation. ”
"You received the news in advance, so you started to buy props?"
"Hmm. ”
Vince patted Joel on the shoulder and said, "Good work. How's your body recovering, can you hold on?"
I heard that some people even broke their legs last time in the beast tide, and this time they were all escorted by the black guards, and they came on crutches, so don't even think about running!"
Vins thought of the man running around on crutches and being chased by monsters, and he couldn't hold back his laughter, and the dull atmosphere in the carriage eased a lot.
Joel also smiled and said, "Look at what the city lord gave you." The castle lord can get his hands on something, maybe the props I bought for one night are not as useful as him. ”
Vince nodded, took the brown box that had been placed aside, and slowly opened the lid.
"Uh?!!"
In the box, there is a long knife. The handle of the long knife is jet black, the scabbard is red, and the overall atmosphere is simple and elegant.
But Vins uses a sword, why would the city lord give him a sword?
The two glanced at each other, and both saw the confusion in each other's hearts.
"Draw your sword and see?" Joel suggested.
Vince nodded, grabbed the cylindrical scabbard of the long knife, and gently picked it up. Compared to the other knives, the one Freeman gave was obviously longer and heavier, but Vince was tall and easy to use.
Vince slowly pulled out the knife, it was a too knife, the blade was cold and flashing, the blade was as clear as water, and it had an extremely elegant arc.
Joel's eyes were sharp, and he saw that there seemed to be some patterns on the knife, so he said: "Try it and see if you can send your magic power inside?" Freeman's gift can't be shabby, it's probably a magic weapon!"
Magic weapons!!The magic weapons that Vins has seen are only some ordinary magic wands and magic books, and their common drawback is that the owner needs to take care of it, and the slightest mistake will cause problems in the magic circuit and need to be repaired. The magic weapon used for melee combat must not only ensure that this shortcoming is avoided, but even sharp enough, so the production cost is definitely more than ten times that of the former!!
The magic in Joel's mouth is obviously psionic energy. Vins's heart was hot, and he did not hesitate to use the psionic energy release technique to input his psionic energy into the knife with all his might!
As soon as Vins's psionic energy entered the knife, countless silver-white waves surged from the blade of the knife, and as the psionic energy increased, the silver-white waves gradually converged together, surging higher and faster. Wins looked closely, where was the wave, this was clearly a burning silver-white fire!!
"Prison Blade!!" Joel exclaimed, recognizing the origin of the knife!
"Hellfire Knife, where did you know the name of this knife?" asked Wins as he stared intently at his sword, curious as he asked Joel.
Joel also stared at the beautiful silver-white flame that made people unable to take their eyes off it, and said in a trance: "The Hellflame Knife was the weapon that the royal family gave him in recognition of Freeman's exploits in exploring the leyline corridors for the first time when the magma layer cooled down for the first time. Hellfire is the name Freeman gave to it, meaning that the flames of hell will consume all sins. It was only after that that Freeman showed his old age and never used force again. And his children are all of elemental mage blood, and this knife has never appeared in everyone's field of vision again. I didn't expect him to give you this knife today......"
Vince was taken aback, Freeman led people to explore the leyline corridor and set up a stronghold on the first three floors, what a feat?! The origin of this knife is so big! He is still uncertain about his life and death, and Freeman has actually taken the lead in placing such a heavy bet on him!
He was still very excited just now, and suddenly calmed down a lot, only to feel that the knife in his hand was almost too heavy to lift.
"I say, this knife is not too much to use as a family heirloom......"
Joel nodded heavily, and said with a little cry and laughter: "I heard that this knife also has the king's own inscription on it, if I have this knife myself, let alone the family heirloom, I will have to offer it! Freeman is really crazy to give you this kind of thing." Is he trying to use you to get closer to the Green family?"
Joel's social scene over the years has not been in vain, and he guessed what happened in a blink of an eye. Vince nodded with a wry smile and said, "He expressed such thoughts when we first met. Since the teacher accepted me as an apprentice, he even gave me a waist card to enter and leave the City Lord's Mansion at will. I didn't expect him to send such a heavy gift directly today......"
Joel chuckled and said, "Freeman is so scheming." If you ever use this weapon and die in the Demonic Forest, Freeman will be able to give it to Mr. Southke as a relic and make a good impression on the Grimm family. And if you come back alive, then you will be saved under Freeman's care, and Mr. Southke must not owe him a favor? And the fact that this weapon is given to you is a symbol of your intimate relationship with Freeman! You are firmly tied to the ship of Freeman! Vins, no wonder he refused to tell the butler what the gift was, they had already made up their minds not to give you a chance to refuse!"
Vince looked up to the sky and sighed, nodding feebly. It is still impossible to return the Hellflame Knife, and the Demon Mist Forest still has to rely on it to save its life. It seems that this troubled water of the Freeman and Green families, he has to wade if he doesn't go.
Joel waved his hand and said, "That's all for later, let's talk about it when we come back alive." But I'm curious, what did the king inscribe on the Prison Flame Knife?"
Vince collected the psionic energy, waited for the flames to subside, and took the knife to his eyes and turned it around. Under the hilt of the Prison Flame Knife, on the crooked spiritual energy lines, there is a line of small characters engraved with dragons flying and phoenixes dancing:
"Heart of Steel".
