Chapter Seventy-One: Gear Up

"This thing...... It always feels familiar. Liu Li, who returned to the room, played with the black spar in his hand, and he could sense the black element contained in the spar, which showed a dark nature, proving that this spar had nothing to do with the squirrel's hometown, it was a product of this world. But for some reason, the way to store the black element is very similar to the "Bone of Secret Words" in Eve's hand. The only difference is that the elements in the Bones of Secret Whispers are constantly escaping, and it is easy to channel that death element through spiritual power. However, the dark element in the hedron was far less active, and if it weren't for Liu Li's unrelaxed study of the black runes above the blue in the meditation space over the past year, he might not have been able to detect the flow of the dark element in the hedron.

"It's a pity that the stone is empty, otherwise we can make a comparison. Liu Li also suspected that the black stone he had bought from the leather merchant in Post Town was the same thing as the spar in his hand, but it was a pity that after the black stone was absorbed by him on the way to heal last time, there was only a black stone shell left, and now he can't compare it.

Sighing softly, Liu Li temporarily gave up thinking about the messy information in his mind, took out the two things from the drawer of his desk, and continued to complete the work that had lasted for nearly a year. "It's a coincidence, it should be done today. ”

Early the next morning, the consciousness detached from the meditation space returned to the body, and after Liu Li briefly washed up, she came to the dining room of the villa, where the squirrel was already sitting and waiting for her breakfast. Landolia didn't explain the details of the mission in detail last night, but after saying "there is a new mission", she threw the black spar to Liu Li and left, as if Dean Ax had something to discuss with her.

Landolia is still busy in the kitchen, this crazy witch's talent in cooking is difficult for Liu Li and the squirrel to match, at least Liu Li can only do the simplest cooking at most, and as for the little squirrel, he doesn't seem to be proficient in cooking skills other than finding nuts.

"Here, here's for you, open it and take a look. Feeling that his teacher still needed some time to prepare breakfast, Liu Li handed the squirrel a beautiful metal box, which contained gifts that he had carefully prepared for nearly a year.

Gently opening the delicate metal box, lying inside, were two crystal clear daggers. The two daggers were one long and the other short, the long dagger was thirty centimeters long, which could almost be called a short sword, and the shorter one was more than twenty centimeters. The dagger is single-edged and slightly curved, matching the shape of the elven weapons commonly used in squirrel training. The thin rattan wrapped around the grip is also a common material used on elven weapons, and is very comfortable to hold in the hand.

The blade of the dagger is engraved with mysterious magic patterns, which are not elven crafts, but Liu Li comprehended them by himself after studying Labit's book on magic arrays, combined with the knowledge of magic patterns of the elves. The material used to make the dagger was naturally the elemental crystallization condensed by Liu Li in the ancient tree of life. Ever since he knew that the squirrel had begun to learn martial arts, Liu Li began to prepare these two weapons. As for why the two daggers were prepared for a year...... The strength of the elemental crystals was too strong for either old Cullen or the elven craftsmen to be able to do a meticulous job of this material.

Fortunately, after all, this is something that Liu Li made out himself, and he can also change its form through spiritual power, just like when he transforms "Return". However, the weight of this thing is really not suitable for the light and dexterous fighting method of squirrel, and Liu Li can only find a way to use the magic pattern process. Similarly, other inscriptionists were completely unable to carve on this sturdy material, and in the end, Liu Li had to do it himself. It just so happened that last night, Liu Li finally completed the carving of the last magic pattern, and the two exquisite daggers finally took shape.

"Yo, your gift is finally ready?" Landolia asked with a smile when she came out of the kitchen with her food and saw the metal box in front of the squirrel. She had long known that Liu Li was helping squirrels make weapons, after all, in the book that Rabitt gave Liu Li, she had solved many of the knowledge that Liu Li could not complete with her current strength.

"Well, it was finally done before we left. Liu Li's eyes flashed with confidence, although it was only by virtue of the advantage of material selection, he believed that there was no weapon in Old Karen's weapon shop that could resist the sharpness of these two daggers. Moreover, the dagger made of these two elemental crystals has more than just the advantage of being sharp and strong. First of all, the daggers are extremely light, and with the blessing of the magic pattern, they completely ignore the weight of the elemental crystals themselves, and it may be an exaggeration to say that they are light, but the squirrels can definitely wield a storm of sharp blades with two daggers. The second is the spell blessed above, although it is only some beginner-level black ** lines, but the effect in the battle really cannot be ignored.

The "Silence" pattern makes the dagger swing without making a sound of breaking wind, the "Dim" pattern can absorb the reflection of the optical fiber, especially in the transparent material, which makes the raid process more difficult to detect, and the most subtle is the "Rebellion" carved by Liu Li on the handle entwined by the vine after discussing with Landolia Demon Pattern, this magic pattern refers to the principle of black hole teleportation, and without other casters obstructing it, the two daggers can be instantly returned to the user's hand as long as they do not exceed the coverage of the magic pattern.

The squirrel was so fond of playing with her new weapon that she had forgotten to eat breakfast, and if it weren't for Landolia's deterrent, she would have wanted to run straight to the City Guard training ground and test the power of these two daggers with those training dummies with plate armor.

"Teacher Landuo, what exactly is this mission going to do?" Liu Li finally found an opportunity to ask the question that he had been struggling with all night.

"Your acquaintance, the boy named Toru, came to me yesterday and said that they 'Grey Corner' had found something terrible in the dark cavern, and that the crystal that you gave you last night was a fragment of that thing. "There is a fanaticism in Landolia's eyes that cannot be concealed, for mages, elemental crystallization is extremely important, it can not only be used as the core of the magic storage item, but also can play a role in promoting the cultivation of mages, the magic crystal of the demon beast is like this, the elemental crystal ore ...... The same is true.

"This time, I let you go, the main thing is to explore the reserves of elemental crystal ore and the difficulty of mining, in that place where the black element is enriched, with your current strength, you don't need to care too much about those shadow beasts, even the beastmaster believes that you can also deal with it. Landolia said excitedly, black arcs of electricity shining on her fingertips under the emotion, and the white bread in her hand for breakfast was wiped out under the agitation of the elements. "It just so happens that you need some actual combat to test your strength after cultivating for so long, and the same is true for the little squirrel next to you, and this time it's best to bring Kuhn's student with you, that little girl can almost break through to the middle level in this mission." ”

When I saw Toru again, this mercenary who was not happy when I first met made Liu Li feel refreshed. Liu Li remembered that when she first met him, she sighed that his beard was not as beautiful as Carbine, but she didn't expect that now that he has shaved his beard, his whole face looks so young. He wasn't like this when he was on the trip to Sin City, and I don't know what made this young mercenary finally want to open up and stop disguising himself so maturely.

After some conversation, Liu Li realized that Che was not even as old as Lin, and he was pretending to be more mature just to prevent himself from being underestimated. But now he has no need to disguise at all, and he can already enjoy a certain say in the team with his own strength. As for the teacher who led him on the path of a warrior, it was none other than Eve's captain of the guard, the heroic spirit who dwelt in the bones of the Secret Words, Bruman.

After returning from the swamp, the mercenaries of "Gray Corner" took Eve's hitchhiker to the town near the dark cave, and Bluman was very optimistic about this young mercenary who was calm at this critical moment, and unreservedly taught him the experience of martial arts training. Toru's talent is not bad, otherwise he would not have survived in the dangerous industry of mercenaries at such a young age. Years of experience on the edge of life and death have become his foundation, and he has naturally advanced by leaps and bounds in martial arts practice. Although the promotion speed is not as fast as that of a squirrel with a talent that is rare in a century, it is far beyond ordinary people.

Eve was hired by the "Greyhorn" mercenary group after the swamp to transport the low-level materials that Landolia had promised to provide them, and although the relationship between the master and the employer was completely reversed, the "Greyhorn" team led by Toru still respected this beautiful caravan steward. This time, Liu Li took the squirrel and Lin to the dark cave, and it was the carriage that belonged to Eve's caravan, but the beautiful caravan steward was still in the town near the dark cave and did not come with him.

Liu Li was glad that he was well prepared, and in the process of studying the knowledge of the magic array, he not only prepared two weapons for the squirrel as gifts, but Liu Li also made two weapons blanks for himself. While familiar with the giant scythe, Liu Li was also aware of the limitations of this weapon—in the narrow terrain, this kind of long-handled heavy force could not be used at all.

Liu Li's practice of creating a giant shield for himself can now be called an unpredictable prophet. The giant shield is composed of two semi-circles, which are joined together by a precise structural design, with curved edges that can be used as a hand axe. In fact, Liu Li was helpless to do this, although those elemental crystals could be divided and changed by spiritual power, they couldn't find a way to fuse the two crystals into one.

Liu Li didn't do more processing on the giant shield, and he didn't even depict the magic pattern. Due to his limited energy, in addition to improving his martial arts and magic strength, Liu Li spent most of his time on the two daggers given to the squirrels in a year, and he had no more time to deal with his shield. However, the giant shield formed by the transformation of elemental crystals, even without the blessing of magic, was enough for Liu Li to use. For a shield, the two extremely important factors of heavy weight and sturdy texture are enough, and as for those icing on the cake, it will not have much impact in battle.

"Teacher Landuo, let's go. Liu Li could feel the spiritual imprint left by Landolia on his body, and he knew this invisible protection but didn't say it, but he just kept this concern in his heart, looking forward to the day when he had the ability to repay him as soon as possible.
