Chapter Twenty-Six: Weapons Need Names
"Are you old fellow finally leaving?" Casfield City City Lord's Mansion, the elderly Earl of Casfield looked at the old friend in front of him, and there was a slight hint of reluctance in his tone, there were not many things that could make a person of his age show emotion in his words.
"yes, I've been here for so many years. Wells couldn't help but sigh, who would have thought that he could be stationed here for decades, and according to his personality when he was still in the academy, it was impossible to stay in the same place for so long.
"Is the problem in the west serious?" The old earl still has some understanding of the situation of the empire, after all, he is a nobleman, and in this position, even if he is only stationed on the border of the southern forest, it is impossible not to care about the movements of the empire at all.
"Fortunately, at least for a few decades, we won't be able to fight, but we still have to pass it early, and accidents can happen at any time. "Wells didn't like war, not because he longed for peace, the world was like that. It's just that there are too many things he can't let go, and he knows in his heart what kind of character Lan Duo is, although he hopes to go to the front line instead of her, she will never let herself stay there alone. "Alas, I don't know what happened to Liu Li, I hope he can hold Lan Duo for as long as possible. ”
At this time, in Erenor City, in the training ground of the city guards, Liu Li was practicing the power skills taught by Kuhn. There are only three kinds of beginner-level general martial arts: "Shock, Heavy, and Penetration", and the commonality of these three martial arts is that they can basically be used with all weapons, whether it is a conventional sword or a long-range bow and arrow, the power of the attack can be increased through the rational use of martial arts.
Looking at Liu Li, who was sweating like rain, Kuhn's face was full of relief, although it was a pity that there was no way to make Liu Li give up magic and specialize in martial arts, but at least Liu Li's focused attitude when practicing was worthy of appreciation. Because of his physical fitness far beyond ordinary people, this also gives Liu Li a great advantage over others in practicing martial arts.
"Alright, stop for a moment, let's stop here for today. Seeing that Liu Li had been practicing for four hours, Kuhn couldn't help but smack his tongue, he had never seen such a desperate young man. "The practice of martial arts is not achieved overnight, and sometimes you have to use your brain more, and you can't improve it by training alone. ”
Liu Li also knew that her recent state was not right, since she knew that Old Wells was going to the Western Front, there had always been a problem with her mentality, especially when she recently learned that Landolia and Kuhn were also going to the battlefield, and the anxiety in her heart became stronger and stronger. Liu Li is a spellcaster and a warrior, and he can't stay in Casfield City like Lil and wait for a result. As a combat officer, Liu Li has experienced many deaths and faced many powerful enemies, so it is so dangerous in battle, and it must be even more dangerous in the battlefield.
"Calm down, little one, not only will the impetuous exercises not produce results, but will even make you unable to use your original strength. Kuhn can guess a little bit about Liu Li's thoughts, but he can't help in this regard, and this is not a problem that can be solved through the enlightenment of others.
Liu Li, who returned to the Mage Tower, lay quietly on the bed, but still couldn't calm down, staring at the ceiling with his eyes open and unfocused, but the anxiety in his heart could not be suppressed.
"Heng, what should I do. Asking the elves around him softly, Liu Li really didn't know how to adjust his current mentality.
Heng didn't speak, quietly holding Liu Li's hand, she knew that the situation Liu Li was facing now was not something that could be solved by her comfort in a few words. And she couldn't think of a way to really make a difference. The improvement of strength is the accumulation of time, even the most talented people need time to grow, and time is exactly what Liu Li lacks the most at this moment. As an elf, although she has not paid much attention to the war in the west of the empire, she also knows the cruelty of war. Elves are a beautiful race, and even with the Elven Forest as a barrier, there is no way to stop the greed in the hearts of people with bad intentions.
However, just as Liu Li was immersed in his thoughts, a familiar feeling suddenly appeared around him. A black hole took his place on the bed, and he fell into it as usual. Because the black hole appeared too suddenly, Liu Li subconsciously wanted to grab something, so the elf who was holding his hand became the preferred target. "Don't!" the heavy atmosphere was completely broken by Heng's exclamation.
"Instead of thinking about what you don't have, it's better to spend your mind on how to improve your strength. Landolia's voice revealed a trace of impatience, she was not a person who followed the rules, her personality was crazy and unscrupulous, even in the face of Kuhn, an existence that was not much higher than her, she was not afraid at all, so she was very dissatisfied with Liu Li's state these days.
"That's good, if before the war starts, you can reach the level of three or more in terms of spells and martial arts, then it's not impossible to take you to the battlefield. Liu Li, who was lying on the floor of the training ground in the basement, heard Landolia's words, and couldn't take off the elf hanging on his body, and opened his mouth in surprise.
"Really?" Liu Li couldn't believe what he heard, he thought that whether it was Wells, Landolia, or even Kuhn, they would be extremely opposed to the matter of going to the battlefield in the west with him, but he didn't expect to hear such an answer at this moment.
"I'm going to do what I've said, but if you continue to stay in the same state as you are and affect your progress and end up not meeting your requirements, then it's no wonder to me. "In fact, Landolia really doesn't attach much importance to this war, in the war between empires, as long as it does not reach the level of bent on destroying the other party, high-ranking fighters usually only play the role of deterrence or auxiliary battlefield. This continent is extremely vast, there are still so many Jedi to be developed, and the foundation of the empire is also there, no one will push the other too hard, after all, it is not good for itself to make trouble until the fish die and the net is broken. If Kuhn is counted as having three high-ranking people present, even if Liu Li goes to the battlefield, it is not too difficult to ensure his safety alone.
This surprise came too suddenly, and Liu Li was not prepared at all.
"Well, but don't worry about it for the time being, the last time you asked me to inquire, there is a result. Ignoring Liu Li's reaction, Landolia continued to say to herself: "I'll give you the address in a while, and it's up to you whether you can move that old guy." ”
Early the next morning, Liu Li, who woke up, felt that this was the most solid night in recent times, and there was hope in her heart, and the whole person seemed to be alive.
"Yo, Liu Li, I look much better today. Looking at the new Liu Li in front of him, Blazer also breathed a sigh of relief, Liu Li gave people too much pressure a while ago, and he even had to be careful to say hello, lest he be stimulated by saying something wrong.
"I'm worried about you, but it's all right. Liu Li didn't explain much, after all, it was possible to go to the battlefield, and the less people knew about it, the better.
After finishing the morning class, Liu Li didn't even have time to eat lunch, and couldn't wait to rush to the place that Landolia told him. This matter has been dragging on for more than a month, and with the help of Landolia, she finally found a blacksmith who can handle the glitter silver perfectly, although it is said that the other party is not very good-tempered, but you have to try it to know the result.
The blacksmith shop is located in the northeast corner of Eleno City, not far from the training ground of the city guards, but if it wasn't for Landolia's inform, Liu Li would never have imagined that there would be a blacksmith shop in this corner of the city. Liu Li has also been in Eleno City for a while, although he has been living in Landolia's villa since more than a month ago, but for his own guns, he has not asked much about the blacksmith shop, but no one has ever introduced him to this place. In fact, it is not surprising, after all, no one would have thought that this shop, which had been closed for more than ten years and had never sold any weapons and equipment, was still open.
Liu Li, who was standing at the door of the blacksmith shop, listened to the sound of striking iron coming from inside, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, "I learned from people nearby that the owner of this shop has never stopped working, but what is the reason why no one has bought even a weapon here for more than ten years?"
"The door is unlocked, come in. Before Liu Li knocked on the door, a rough voice came out. The owner of the blacksmith shop is a dwarf, a race known for its blacksmithing, and the weapons displayed on the weapon racks in the blacksmith shop are all high-quality. But what Liu Li paid the most attention to was the old blacksmith standing in front of him.
"Hello, I want to deal with a piece of flash silver. Without talking nonsense, Liu Li directly stated the purpose of his trip.
"Flash silver?" the old blacksmith looked at Liu Li with a puzzled gaze, in Cullen's opinion, the use of flash silver as a metal to make weapons can be said to be extremely wasteful. Shining silver is known for its excellent magical conductivity, as well as its toughness and hardness, making it one of the most difficult metals to obtain. However, due to its heavy weight, it is rarely used on weapons. And looking at Liu Li like this, he didn't plan to cast any magic engineering parts, after all, this is a blacksmith shop, not a magic engineering workshop. "It's kind of interesting, tell me about your plans. ”
Liu Li took out his spear staff from the space bracelet and handed it to the old blacksmith in front of him.
"It's ridiculous. Looking at the perfectly crafted staff, Cullen shook his head in disbelief, "Are you sure this one...... Well, let's think it's a staff, are you sure it's really useful?What mage would use something so heavy, even if it ......" Before he finished speaking, Cullen himself was stunned, this strange weapon in his hand, its user was probably the young man in front of him, and from the lightweight appearance when he just handed the staff to him, the weight of this staff made of black wood was really not a problem for him. "Are you a mage or a warrior?"
"I'm a student of Vice Dean Landolia, but I've been learning martial arts with Captain Kuhn lately. Liu Li smiled embarrassedly, he also knew that what he said was hard to believe.
"Oh, little girl Rando's student, then I won't ask more, I won't be surprised what kind of student that crazy girl teaches. Tell me what you want to do with this weapon. ”
"I felt that this staff was a little too light, and I wanted to add a little weight without affecting the cast. ”
Hearing Liu Li's words, and then looking at the twenty-kilogram glittering silver in his hand, Karen couldn't help but scold: "Is this a matter of adding 'a little' weight?" ”
"Well, that's fine, it's a simple thing. Why should I help you with a weapon that doesn't even have a name, though? As Landolia had said, the old blacksmith was not a man of many words, and it seemed that it would take a little more effort to impress him.
