Heart of Steel......

Although Vince and Freeman have only had a one-sided relationship, the impression left on Vince by this man is completely irascib, cruel, and calculating, and it is completely difficult to associate him with the praise of Steelheart.

Joel was also secretly taken aback, he had expected to praise Freeman for his strength or something.

Vince raised an eyebrow in surprise and said, "Joel, what do you think?"

Joel was silent for a while, and said with some tears and laughter: "Could it be that there were too many things to inscribe at that time, and the king made a mistake?"

After saying that, both of them couldn't help laughing.

In recent years, all aspects of Caryton have been declining, and the income of people of all classes has been declining day by day. Many people couldn't fill their stomachs, so they pointed the finger at the current city lord Freeman, accusing him of not giving way, inaction, and incompetence, which made Carriton's situation worse day by day.

These words reached Freeman's ears, but he continued to go his own way. Except for the occasional increase in taxes under the guise of increasing taxes, the Lord's Mansion has not issued any meaningful decrees in recent years.

It can be said that if it weren't for his contribution to the establishment of the new district, the residents of Cariton, who are fierce in the people, would have rushed to the gate of the city lord's mansion to change the sun and the moon into a new sky.

How could such a person get such an evaluation as "Heart of Steel"?

Vince shook his head, sure enough, it was a strange man with a strange knife.

......

After staggering all the way, the two finally arrived at Joel's house on Baiyueji Street.

Joel had wanted to discuss with Vins and Titch how to distribute the props, but now that there was too much time wasted in the City Lord's Mansion and on the road, it was too late to discuss again.

After telling Vince to stay in the car and watch the coachman and not let him run away, Joel went into Ga's house by himself.

Sitting alone in the carriage, Vince secretly took out the Prison Flame Knife again, carefully examined and stroked it. He wasn't too embarrassed when Joel was there, but now he can finally take a good look at the knife!

The blade of the Prison Flame Knife is on the thick side, the length of the knife is on the long side, and the arc on the blade body is also very small, closer to a straight knife. Therefore, it is not as small and delicate as the general knife, but heavier and more atmospheric!

Vince injected psionic energy into it again, and silvery-white, non-stop flames immediately covered the blade. He watched it over and over again, and he couldn't put it down, how handsome he really looked!

"Are you two employees of Darkmoon?"

Suddenly, the coachman, who had been sitting at the front of the carriage, came in and asked with a smile on his face.

Vince hurriedly shoved the knife into the scabbard, and before the psionic energy could dissipate, a cloud of white smoke came out of the scabbard.

"Huh??"

The coachman glanced at the bizarre smoking Prison Flame Knife suspiciously, and Vins blushed, and quickly pulled his attention back and said, "yes, what's wrong?"

Joel came to him directly in the Darkmoon uniform, and it was no wonder that the coachman recognized him.

The coachman was a middle-aged man, and he didn't care about Vins's strange knife, and his wrinkled face squeezed out a bright smile, and said, "My son is also an employee of Steel Shield!

You are still happy that your son has done such a dangerous thing? Wins was surprised for a while, thought for a while, and said, "Is it? Then we are together! I wonder what kind of strength your son has?"

The coachman smiled, scratched his gray hair a little embarrassedly, and said with a faint pride: "My son is nineteen years old this year, and he has been promoted to a one-star wind mage for more than a year!"

Vince felt like he had been struck in the chest suddenly.

"Hmm...... What's wrong with you?" the coachman looked at Vins, whose face suddenly became gloomy, thinking that his son's youth and promising nature had stimulated him, and his heart was a little uneasy.

Vince waved his hand, turned his head a little reluctantly, and said, "It's nothing." But I've heard from others that the Demon Mist Forest isn't very dangerous right now, isn't your son afraid?"

"Dangerous?!" The coachman looked surprised at first, and then laughed and said, "That's just a group of fools who don't know much about spreading rumors! My son can tell me, this time it's just a monster riot in the suburbs of the Demon Mist Forest, and it won't take long for the three guilds to join forces to complete the task, otherwise how could they send a group of young people who haven't grown two hairs on their mouths yet?"

"That's why I dare to go out and pick up work! Those fools don't dare to put a fart at home, and it's just cheaper for me! Haha! When my son and I have earned enough money, we'll move to the East End. My wife left after giving birth to her son, and I have lived in the West District with him for nearly 20 years, and we are finally going to get out!

Vins dodged the coachman's gaze, barely squeezed out a smile, and said, "Yes? I've only heard rumors in the neighborhood and haven't been to the guild yet. These people who spread rumors are really hateful, and I have been worried for so long. ”

The coachman excitedly adjusted his posture and was about to say something more, but was interrupted by the sound of Joel knocking on the window.

Joel was holding three backpacks and standing outside the carriage with Titch.

As he opened the door, Vince finally asked, "What's your son's name?" ”

"His name is Watts. With that, the coachman sat back in his place.

Joel and Tich sat down across from Vins, and Joel knocked on the wall near the coachman, and the carriage moved.

"Joel, did you help me say goodbye to Elmer?" Vance knew that Joel must have been to his house when he was looking for him.

When Joel saw the haggard Vance and thought he was worried about his safety, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I've already said goodbye to you." It's okay, with Freeman's Hellfire Knife, we'll come back alive. ”

Titch also cast a concerned look.

"Here, Vins, your props. Joel tossed a backpack over, "Open it and check it out to see if there's anything missing." ”

Vince opened his backpack and rummaged through it, smelly water, tracking powder, small fireworks, bait, matches, medical supplies, etc., Titch and Joel thought very thoughtfully and didn't miss anything.

"What is this?"

Vince pulled out a pitch-black hook-like thing from his backpack.

Joel turned his head to look at Titch, who he had obviously not seen either.

Titch also took out an identical hook from her backpack and said, "This is the new equipment that Crick said, it seems to fit on your hand like this," she said, putting the hook on her forearm, "Crick said that there are a lot of big people in the monsters this time, and that a warrior like Vins must use this hook to fight in the air if he wants to do effective damage." And people like me and Joel, who don't have any hand-to-hand combat skills, can also use their hooks to move quickly through the forest. ”

He said that there was something else, but something went wrong, and the only thing he could get in his hand was this kind of hook. ”

After saying that, both Vince and Joel's faces turned a little pale.

Vince carefully took the hook to his eyes and examined it, and said worriedly, "Can this thing really fly with me in the sky and fight......?

"Theoretically, it can withstand three hundred kilograms of tension, and it won't be a problem to pull two of you to take off." ”

Joel asked, "Did Crick show you how to use it?"

Titch nodded and said, "Demonstrated, after putting it on your arm, as long as you trigger it with psionic energy, it will automatically hook and pull you over when it hooks to the support point." ”

"Psionics?"

"It's what we usually call magic. Crick told me that it seemed to be some fashionable name lately......"

Vince asked, "Will Crick be part of the plan?" I'd like to ask him again. ”

Titch shook his head and said, "No." And you don't have to ask him for advice, he only managed to hook the door frame when he showed me, and when he pulled it over, he smashed his head too hard, and his whole face bleed. Luckily I'm a pastor, otherwise he would have crashed himself to death at Joel's house. ”

“...... Did he lose money?" Joel's focus was strange.

Titch shook his head.

Joel screamed in pain, "My door!!!"

Vince attached his hook to his left forearm and aimed it at the wall of the chamber to try to run the psionic energy. The hook "whoosh" shot out, knocking a small crater out of the iron compartment wall. Since nothing was hooked, the hook retracted.

He imagined himself swinging in the air with this hook and fighting with large monsters, although it was handsome, but no matter how you looked at it, it was like death.

"Can I do without it......" Vince asked weakly.

Titch shook his head again and said, "I haven't touched large monsters either, but according to Crick, their biggest threat comes from their natural abilities, followed by attacks like tail sweeping, stomping, and ramming. With this hook, we can quickly avoid these attacks, and our survival rate can be improved a lot. ”

Joel patted Vince on the shoulder and said, "Brother, cherish." ”

"You pay for the wall. ”

"NMD, why?!"

"I didn't bring any money with me!"

......

At twelve fifty-six, the three of them finally arrived at the Dark Moon Guild.

At this time, there was already a crowd outside the Dark Moon, all of them were adventurers who had been forcibly captured. In addition, there are quite a few black guards, who seem to be counting the number of people.

As soon as Tiqi got out of the carriage, he was a little noisy by the crowd, and hurriedly pulled the other two to push the crowd away and get into the Darkmoon Guild.

As soon as they entered the guild, a chill that penetrated deep into the bone marrow hit their faces, and the three of them were all agitated spirits.

The tables and chairs usually prepared for adventurers in the guild were full of people at the moment, and as far as Wens could see, they were all employees of the Dark Moon, and many of them were usually acquaintances. However, although there were many people, no one dared to whisper a word.

At the center of the crowd, and at the center of the chill, the head of the Darkmoon Carryton Branch, the six-star ice mage Ledger Heath, was standing in place with a grim expression, as if a thin layer of frost had been attached to his face.

"Did you hear what I just said?"

"Clear!" replied in unison.

The boss reprimanded that he was actually late, and the three of them carefully shrank their heads, for fear that someone would find out and ruin their future.

"Then the whole team is going!" Ledger Heath looked around the crowd, his young faces looking eagerly at him with longing and reverence, as if he was drunk, and he almost fell to the ground on his feet, "Please come back alive!"

The last sentence, he said word by word, slowly and heavily.

Everyone present instantly stood up and bowed to Ledger Heath, the black Dark Moon uniform overwhelming Vins' vision.

"Team up and set off in three minutes. Open the door and tell the blackguards outside that we're ready!"

Yerevan's voice rang out, and he had been standing next to Ledger just now.
