548 The artifact is obscure
With Li Xiang's current strength, the artifact magic weapon or something really didn't take it seriously. Moreover, the so-called artifact of this plane is much worse than the magic weapon of the Flood Desolation Plane, not to mention the innate spirit treasure, it is the acquired magic weapon, and it is much more powerful than the so-called artifact. Therefore, when Alice was enthusiastically offering the treasure, she just smiled faintly, "oh", and then there was no more.
This made Alice unhappy, and anyone who was looking at it with disdain would be annoyed and angry when she was showing it off. So Alice's eyes widened angrily and roared, "Hey, what kind of attitude do you have?" Did you hear what I was saying? It's an artifact, an artifact! Even if you're a prince, you're afraid you've never seen a few, right? It's even more impossible to have. Now that there's an artifact at your fingertips, aren't you greedy? ”
Li Xiang looked at her fried hair very funny, deliberately pretended to be interested, and said, "Oh, artifact? What kind of artifact is it, and where is it now? ”
Alice was a little satisfied, and said: "It's really a coincidence to say this, in order to run a newspaper, I have to get out of papermaking and movable type printing first, so I have to find a skilled craftsman to help me." Under the introduction of others, I personally visited the thatched cottage and asked for a dwarven master who claimed to be the most ingenious in his craft. Unexpectedly, in the master's house, I found a large black sword, rough like an iron rod. When I first saw the big sword, oh, not to mention how dirty it was, it might have been used by the dwarven master as a burning stick, and it was sloppy and sloppy. But I saw at a glance that it was extraordinary, and I wanted to buy it from the dwarven master. But who knew that the dwarf master was not ignorant, but was waiting for the true owner of the big sword. Only the owner of the big sword can make it shine again, and others can only use it as a burning stick. Instead of the real master of the big sword, the dwarf master will not give it away, but if it is the real master, the dwarf master also said that he will not take a penny, just do him a favor! ”
After listening to Alice's narration and boasting, Li Xiang blinked, looked back at Chris, and said, "Why do I think it's unreliable?" What do you think? ”
Chris hesitated for a moment, glanced at Alice, saw her eyes widen, and immediately changed his words: "Since Alice said so, there must be a reason for her." If you are interested, Your Highness, just take a look, and it won't waste much time anyway. ”
Li Xiang nodded solemnly, as if agreeing with Chris's words, but said something else: "No wonder Alice chooses you, you are a soft egg who listens to Alice for everything." ”
Chris knew that Li Xiang was just joking, but he still blushed and said, "No...... No, I just think that Alice is a little smarter than me, so I usually listen to her a little more. ”
Alice didn't care about that, raised her head proudly, and said, "The two of us listen to him for big things and mine for small things." Whether it's a big deal or a small thing, it's up to me to decide. ”
Li Xiang patted Chris on the shoulder and said, "It's hard work, your self-sacrifice spirit is really touching." Alright, let's go see the artifact. ”
Li Xiang, Alice and Chris, the chief guard, and Lorenzo, a ninth-level master who had just taken refuge, all changed into civilian clothes and came to the dwarven master's blacksmith shop together.
Dwarves are a very important race in the Magic Continent, enough to stand side by side with the Terrans, Elves, and Orcs. But the dwarves are the only race that has not established a state, and they are used to haunting places where there are mineral deposits, whether they are in the territory of the Terrans or the orcs. The weapons and armor they create are also very popular and have always been known for their excellent quality.
The only ones who have a bad relationship with the dwarves are the elves. The elves have always admired nature and loved plants and trees, and the dwarves are mining everywhere, which in the eyes of the elves is destroying the environment. In addition, the dwarves have a bold and informal temperament, which becomes rude and dirty in the eyes of the elves, and the elegance of the elves is also reprimanded by the dwarves as hypocrisy. In this way, two races with diametrically opposed temperaments have naturally become natural opponents, so dwarves are never seen in the territory of the elves.
In addition, not all dwarves live near the mines, and there are also some who do not want to spend their lives in the mountains and go out of the mines to mingle in human or orc societies. Most of their livelihoods are to become mercenaries or open a blacksmith shop. Li Xiang is going to visit such a dwarf.
When I came to the door of the blacksmith shop, I saw that although this room was a little dirty, it was much taller than the other houses, and it was all made of stone, which gave people a very solid feeling at first glance. Outside the door hung a flag used as a signboard, on which a simple hammer pattern was drawn.
Before he could enter the door, he heard the sound of clanging iron inside. When I walked into the house, I saw more than a dozen **** men with shiny bodies, beating the iron embryo with a hammer. The only dwarf sat on the innermost second floor of the room, holding a wine glass as thick as a thigh, pouring ale wine one by one, looking depressed and seemingly depressed.
Alice didn't care if he was depressed or not, as soon as she entered the door, she shouted, "Baru, Master Baru!" Come down, I'll bring you the real masters! ”
The dwarf Balu glanced at Alice listlessly, and said casually: "Girl, although you are very good at making money, although you are a student of the Imperial Demon Martial Academy, you can't reach the real masters." In your eyes, level six or seven is considered a master, but in my eyes, level eight is not good. ”
Alice said triumphantly: "Cut, you look down on people too much, aren't you just looking for a ninth-level master?" Hehe, I'll get you one today! ”
Balu perked up when he heard this, raised his head and looked up at a large number of Li Xiang, and finally stared at Lorenzo and asked, "Girl, are you talking about him?" ”
Alice nodded and said, "You really have a good eye, he is a ninth-level master who is like a fake!" What do you think? Get your darling out and let's see, shall we? ”
Balu was a little skeptical, you must know that there are not many ninth-level masters in the whole continent, and the few who are on the bright side, almost everyone in the whole continent has heard of what they look like, whether they are tall or short, fat or thin, and what clothes they like to wear. But looking at the person in front of him, he is completely different from the legendary person. And he also followed behind Li Xiang, with the posture of an entourage, like other ninth-level masters, he was hugging him wherever he went.
But Balu didn't dare to question it face-to-face, if he annoyed the ninth-level master and killed him casually, no one would cry out to him when he died. If you dare to provoke a ninth-level master, you deserve to die. So Balu could only salute respectfully and lead the way.
Li Xiang and the others followed Balu through the hall where the iron was struck and came to the small courtyard at the back. This small courtyard is similar in style to the previous one, but it is also dirty and messy, and there are piles of iron and other debris everywhere. Balu didn't feel embarrassed, asked Li Xiang and them to wait a while, entered the room by himself, and then took out a black and rough iron rod with a slight sword-like shape, which was more than four feet long, and held it in both hands and sent it to Lorenzo.
Lorenzo glanced at Li Xiang first, Li Xiang nodded, and Lorenzo reached out to take it. But after he took it in his hand, he looked left and right, and he didn't see anything special about this iron rod. Infuse it with fighting energy, and then smash it hard against the iron around you. The casual wave of the ninth-level master is enough to open the mountain and break the rock. When he smashed it, the iron material was smashed into pieces, but the iron rod was not damaged at all.
Lorenzo took back the iron rod and looked at it again, shook his head, and said, "This iron rod has nothing special except for being strong. ”
Chris took the iron rod curiously, but he didn't see anything special, and asked Alice in a low voice, "Where did you see that this is an artifact?" Why can't I see it? You can't be fooled by this dwarf! ”
Alice shook her head and said, "This must be an artifact, I'm pretty sure." It's just that how to make it show its true face, I don't know. ”
Seeing Lorenzo's strength and knowing that he was really a ninth-level master, Balu couldn't help but say, "This master, can you ...... Can you try again? You put your fighting spirit into it with all your might, and there may be a change. ”
Lorenzo glanced at Li Xiang again, saw that he nodded, and then took the iron rod, and then solemnly began to inject fighting energy into it. With the influx of fighting energy, the iron rod began to turn red, and the temperature rose sharply, faster than if it was thrown into the furnace, and the temperature was also higher.
However, no matter how Lorenzo injected his fighting energy, the iron rod only turned red, without the slightest sign of melting, and there was no other change. When Lorenzo retracted his fighting breath with a slight pant, the temperature of the iron rod also dropped rapidly, and then returned to its original dark appearance, without any change at all.
Chris couldn't help but pull out his saber and slash it on the iron bar, only to hear the sound of "", there was not even a trace left on the iron bar, but Chris's saber was only a little blunt.
At this moment, even Alice was a little disappointed and said, "Perhaps, the characteristic of this artifact alone is that it is strong?" Not afraid of colliding with other artifacts? ”
She didn't believe it herself, if it was just strong, it would definitely not be worthy of the title of artifact. Lovely Lisy does have her own way of identifying the value of anything, and she believes that she can never go wrong. So what went wrong?
In the end, Li Xiang said: "Bring it and show me." ”
Lorenzo immediately respectfully sent the iron rod to Li Xiang, Li Xiang grabbed the position of the hilt of the sword, first weighed the weight, then played a sword flower, put it in front of his eyes, stroked the sword with his left hand, closed his eyes and felt it quietly. After a moment, a smile appeared on his face and he said to Chris, "Sword!" ”
Chris's sword was still in his hand, and when he heard Li Xiang's words, he hurriedly handed the sword over, but Li Xiang slashed his hand on the blade of the sword, cut his own hand, and then smeared the blood on the iron rod, and then poured into the fighting spirit, and the surface of the iron rod cracked, bursting out of it with a dazzling light!
