Ding Qin looked at the prepared objects one by one and nodded.

The city lord said, "Master work, do we need to retreat?" I know that there are some secret methods, and many people don't want to be seen by outsiders. ”

Ding Qin said, "In my place, there is no secret method, everyone can see it if they want to." With that, he began to step aside, working on the material.

In the eyes of outsiders, Ding Qin's handling of materials is very casual. But they didn't know that for each material, Ding Qin used spiritual power to drive and dissolve.

After about two hours, all of the materials melted into the water. Ding Qin poured these solutions into a sealing pot and instructed people to heat them over a fierce fire.

After more than an hour, the sealing pot was returned again. Ding Qin opened it and saw that it was a thick liquid with a pale yellow color.

The prescription prescribed by He Yan had also been boiled at this time. After the boy finished drinking the medicine, Ding Qin asked him to help him up, sit on the bed, and he took a brush, dipped it in liquid, and applied it directly to the helmet.

There was a "zi" sound, and a large amount of white foam appeared where the liquid came into contact with the helmet. After doing this a few times, the helmet was noticeably thinner in the place where it was applied.

Ding Qin handed the brush to the servant on the side, "According to this method, brush with acid." Be careful not to touch the skin with acid, and do a good job of protection. While brushing, pay attention to the remaining thickness of the helmet. If it's already thin, I'll take care of it. ”

Of course, the servants did not dare to take on such work. However, the city lord and Hua Lin both nodded, telling them to be careful, and only then did two maids step forward and brush this helmet very carefully.

It was busy until dawn, and finally a horizontal weak spot appeared on the helmet.

Ding Qin walked over and pulled out his Silver Moon Dagger from his waist. As soon as the dagger came out, the whole room seemed to be a lot colder, and even the city lord, who was all about his son, couldn't help but praise, "Good knife!"

Ding Qin ignored these. He poured spiritual power into the silver moon, carefully cutting into the weak band of the helmet. Now, this layer is only a few sheets thick, and with the sharpness of Silver Moon, it can be easily cut into. However, since many places are close to the scalp, he has to be very careful.

About half an hour later, Ding Qin put away the knife, held the helmet with both hands, and with a little force, the helmet split in two and detached from his head.

The partially squeezed and deformed head was finally exposed, Hua Lin cried excitedly, stepped forward to hug her son, and completely ignored the image. The city lord was also in tears, holding Ding Qin's hand, "Master, really master!"

Ding Qin smiled bitterly. He hadn't slept for two nights in a row, and the only thing he felt now was tiredness. After explaining the situation to the city lord, he and He Yan went directly to the best guest room in the city lord's mansion and slept until the afternoon.

When he woke up, the city lord and Hua Lin were both outside the room, moving tables and chairs and waiting. Seeing Ding Qin come out, the city lord came up first and said, "Master, the reward we have prepared has been sent to your residence. Thanks to you this time, I was able to save my child's life. Such a great grace, we will never forget. If the master asks for anything, just ask for it. ”

Ding Qin smiled slightly, "The city lord is very polite." Saving people is a matter of duty, and it can be regarded as accumulating virtue. ”

The city lord smiled, "The master has such skills and such awareness at a young age, and his future will definitely be limitless. However, why did the master come to the Star Empire? I heard Hua Lin say, General Ding was originally your Kaiyuan City defender, and you have also been very smart since you were a child, so you just came here to practice?"

Ding Qin is indeed thinking about how to answer this question. However, the last words of the city lord gave him some inspiration. He nodded, "That's right, it's kind of practice." My father set me a route to complete. ”

The city lord smiled again, "Well, I see. It seems that General Ding is still very strict with the master. I don't know how long the master will stay here, where will he go next? I decided that I would send someone to escort the master. ”

Ding Qin said, "I originally wanted to make some money in some entanglements, and then I set off, it won't take too long." ”

When the city lord heard this, he said, "Don't worry about the entanglement, I have already sent someone to bring a million Star Shine Coins." And according to the master's skills, there will be no shortage of money to spend anywhere. What is the Master's destination?"

Ding Qin said, "I'm going to look at the Cape of the Stars." ”

Hearing this name, the city lord's expression changed significantly. "Looking at the Cape of the Stars, where are you going?"

Ding Qin could hear that there was a hidden meaning in the city lord's words, "What's the matter? Looking at Xingjiao, isn't it just a port for Xingyao?"

The city lord sighed slowly, "That's right, it's a port in the Star Glory Country. But this port is unusual. Currently, the port is closed. ”

Ding Qin was puzzled, "Why?"

The city lord said, "Wangxingjiao, it has always been a port for the royal family to go to sea to worship the immortals, and there is only one place for it to go, which is called Dengxiantai." According to legend, thousands of years ago, there were people in the royal family who cultivated to break through the limits of ordinary people, and then traveled far away from the Cape of the Stars, and after arriving at Dengsendai, they flew into immortals. Later, each king would go to Dengsendai several times to offer sacrifices to pray for the harmony of heaven and earth and good weather. ”

As a result, Ascend Sendai has become a scenic spot, and it is open to the public except during the festival period, and everyone can go out to sea by boat through the Gazing Star Point. But a few years ago, this king went to sea six times in a row, and the fleet was almost wiped out in a storm, and the king could only lead the remnants of the defeated army to escape and save his life each time. So he thought it was a bad omen, so he made some excuses not to go to Sendai anymore and closed the port of Wangxingjiao. ”

Ascending Sendai? Could it be Chiyan Mountain? This was the first thought that Ding Qin reflected. He thought for a moment and asked the lord of the city, "So, where is the so-called Dengsendai? Actually, my father told me to set off from Wangxingjiao, but he didn't tell me where to go." Come to think of it, eighty percent is also on Sendai. ”

The lord said, "It's possible. Because the sea route to Dengsendai is not full of dangers, but it is also full of twists and turns, which is exactly in line with the requirements of training. Come on, take a big picture. ”

Soon, someone brought a large picture and spread it out on the table. This is a military map, and the content and emphasis marked on it are different from the map that Cao Bei gave himself.

On this map, the stargazing angle is more clearly marked, and there is also a route on it, pointing to an island in the far sea.

That's Tosendai.

However, seeing this island, Ding Qin's heart was a lot colder. Because that's not the result you want.

and Chiyan Mountain, these are two routes that diverge from each other. In other words, there is no direct connection between Xingyao Kingdom and Chiyan Mountain.

Ding Qin was slightly disappointed. However, he adjusted his emotions in time so as not to be seen by the city lord that something was wrong and bring other troubles. Looking at the picture and gently knocking on the table a few times, he bit his lip, "Well, even if this port is closed, I still have to go." ”

The city lord smiled, but there was also a bit of embarrassment in his tone, "Well, the master is so ambitious." If you go somewhere else, maybe I can help you, but going to the starry corner is really beyond my ability. It is said that the only way to go out to sea from Cape Wangxing now is to be ordered by the king. I'm a little border city lord, indeed...... There really is no such ability. ”

Ding Qin said, "Don't trouble the city lord." In addition to looking at the Cape of the Stars, I think that several other places can also go to sea, but it's a big deal, I will take an extra sea route. ”

The city lord hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This can't be done. You see. ”

He pointed to the chart, "There are ocean currents pointing up here." According to the current, go in that direction, and only the Cape of the Stars is downstream. In other places, it will be affected by the ocean currents and wash up in the other two sea beast farms. In the sea beast field, the sea is rampant with demonic beasts, as long as people enter, they will definitely die, there has never been a precedent. Moreover, the hydrology of these currents is complex, and the sea reefs are clustered, and navigation is extremely high. If it's really what you think, then, if this stargazing corner is not closed, there is no point. ”

Ding Qin looked at the chart again, "In this way, it looks similar to the port of the Xuanling Continent." ”

"Yes, that's true of all the coasts. However, I have a solution. ”

Ding Qin raised his head, "The city lord said to listen." ”

The city lord said, "With the master's ability, he is definitely a first-class blacksmith." As far as I know, the six princes in the current royal family are just starting to learn the arts, and they are just missing a suitable weapon. If the master's reputation is a little more famous, I will directly recommend the master to the king, and if he fights a magic weapon, maybe the king can open the port and see the master off. ”

Ding Qin thought for a moment and said with some hesitation, "However, I really don't want to deal with Xingyao's royal family. In fact, he also knew that this was the way the city lord killed two birds with one stone. If the recommendation is really successful, the city lord will definitely be a great achievement. This is actually the same as the envoy's idea before he first came.

The city lord said, "This is the best way. If you want to sneak into the Cape of the Stars, first, if you break the law, you will inevitably be pursued, and even anger the royal family and make it difficult to get a boat. ”

Ding Qin pondered for a long time and said, "Then, this is the only way to do it." It's just that I'm pressed for time, and the sooner this happens, the better. ”

The city lord said, "Master rest assured. Now, the divine weapons of the Star Empire, or the higher-grade weapons, are not made by local craftsmen. For the sake of the weapons of the six princes, the king also hired virtuous people in many ways, but to no avail. If your reputation is released, the royal family will definitely notice and come to invite you. At the same time, if I submit a letter of recommendation, I will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Although the king is a member of the Li family, he is still trustworthy, and if the conditions are negotiated in advance, he will definitely be able to go to sea from the port. ”

Ding Qin nodded, "Then, please ask the city lord to help arrange it." It's just that there are countless people queuing up to ask for weapons every day, and I'm also very embarrassed about who can build them. ”

The city lord said, "Actually, it's simple. You're showing up as a businessman, so it's hard to turn down customers. However, you can craft two weapons and let me auction them for you. In this way, it becomes an official act. With me as your backing, who else would dare to mess around with these people?"

Ding Qin thought about it, this is indeed feasible. First, it doesn't offend anyone directly, and second, during the auction process, there is no cap on the price, which makes it easier to let out the reputation. "Alright, that's it. I'm going to go back and prepare. ”

The city lord smiled, "Don't worry, I will send someone to protect your safety." ”
