While Avi was investigating the matter of the artificial life weapon in Mallot, Miranda, who was far away on the Sunrise Plateau, really realized what the real life weapon was, and the story of the birth of the life weapon. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Through Escor's introduction, Miranda met the legendary blacksmith Sivel, the creator of the weapon of life. At the beginning, Miranda didn't know that the other party was the most legendary and mysterious blacksmith on the continent, but to Miranda's surprise, this white-haired old man, who was over seventy years old, took the initiative to tell Milanda his true identity.

"Maybe you'll be the last new friend I'll ever have in my life, so I don't want to hide it from a friend," Sivel decided to open up to the enthusiastic and lively girl after knowing Miranda for a while, "I'm the blacksmith Sivel that many people want to find, and I hope I won't scare you by telling the truth." ”

Escor stood behind Miranda, and Miranda searched for the memories in her mind for the first time, she did remember the rumors of such a legendary blacksmith, but when she heard Sivel's name, she never thought that the other party would be related to that kind of mysterious person. The old man in front of him, although he was old but energetic, seemed to be just a hidden blacksmith obsessed with forging weapons, and he didn't expect that the other party would be such a great person.

"Then I'm your old friend, old man!" Miranda treated anyone with neither humility nor arrogance, and she stretched out her hands to hold Sivel's calloused hands.

"That's right, if it's a friend of the year, I'm one of them. Escor echoed.

"You boy may look young, but you're more shrewd than a bad old man like me," Sivel mocked, "and if I hadn't known you, I wouldn't have known there would be such a smart man in this world!" he said, suddenly covering his heart with his hand, but after only a second, the white-haired old man was back to normal.

Miranda turned her head in surprise to look at the bard Escorri, who was a clever man in the eyes of the legendary blacksmith, but at all he looked like an ordinary bard who was a little frivolous and a little uninhibited.

"I don't need to be smart and shrewd among friends, I'm just doing things that make me happy and living a life that I feel happy with." Escorri said with a smile, and that warm smile was sure to charm countless girls who had never seen the world.

Sivel took a roll of paper from a cupboard, he slowly opened it, and a lively portrait of a young girl appeared on the paper, looking a little like Miranda.

"That's why I felt a sense of familiarity at the first sight of you," Sivel laid the portrait flat on the table, "she's my little daughter, and when she's your age, she speaks in a tone and tone like yours, and she likes to tie a ponytail, which she says makes her look very smart." The white-haired old man's eyes were already drenched with tears, and Miranda did not expect the legendary blacksmith to be such an emotional person—because Milanda showed interest in weapons and was willing to become friends with her, because she was so touched by the portrait of her daughter.

"Where has she been now?"

"She is my most beloved baby, but because of some mistakes, I lost her forever..."

Miranda had already guessed seventy or eighty, but she didn't expect that the old blacksmith's youngest daughter was really no longer alive. There are not many rumors about Sivel in the mainland, most of them refer to the fact that he once made several life weapons from a strange material, and then had to live in seclusion because of his jealousy. Now it seems that the girl in this portrait also died because of those life weapons, right?

"What about the rest of your family, old man?" Miranda saw that the other party was so sad, and she didn't know how to comfort him, so she had to see if she could change the subject.

Escorli walked over to Sivel's side, giving the white-haired old man a little to rely on. After wiping away tears from the back of his hand, Sivel said: "I had two daughters, the eldest daughter is named Josephine, and she has long lost contact with me, and I don't know where she has gone. Escorli had inquired for me, that Josephine had married a mercenary after leaving me, and that my youngest daughter's name was Kemerine, and she—" Sivel said this, and looked at the portrait again, and the old blacksmith who had seen things had put his hand on the portrait and stroked it gently.

"That's... Maybe I'll be able to help you inquire about your eldest daughter the next time I go back to the mainland. ”

"Actually, I still have two students, and it would be nice if you could help me inquire about them together," Sivel said suddenly, "if I still had at that time..."

"Two students, are you apprentices who are learning to forge weapons with you, old man?"

"That's right, one is Nathaniel and the other is Wenlin," Sivel said after a moment's thought, "they used to be my most proud protégés, and the best candidates for my son-in-law, but everything was caught up in the wrong way. ”

"Son-in-law?!"

Sivel closed his eyes, and his mind slowly reproduced those memories of those years, and every bit of them was vivid. He knew that he needed to slowly recall everything in the past before he could tell the people and things that were far away.

In the year 909 of the Old Kingdom, thirty-nine years ago, when Sivel was in his thirties, he had already succeeded in crafting the first weapon of life. Long before he could create a weapon of life, Sivel was a young and talented blacksmith. With his superb skills in steel and cast iron, his unrivaled enchantment skills, and his unique understanding of weapons, Sivel has long been synonymous with "perfect construction". Because of this, the strange material excavated from the depths of the earth was also sent to Sivel by a nobleman, and the talented blacksmith was asked to divide and forge it.

After three years of understanding and trying, the material, which looked like a stone, was finally divided into a piece by Sivel, and then tried to make it into a worthy weapon.

By that time, Sivel already had two daughters and a virtuous wife, the eldest daughter Josephine was nine years old, and the youngest daughter Kemerine was seven years old. Josephine is quiet, peaceful, sensible, and filial, while the youngest daughter is lively and lovely, and is full of curiosity about everything. These two daughters with such roundabout personalities were like a godsend to Sivel, and even the most perfect weapons could not replace their place in Sivel's mind - until the first weapon of life was born.

When the first life weapon was completed, Sivel did not tell the nobleman the news, because in the eyes of the legendary blacksmith, the nobleman was not a person who was willing to pay for nothing, and the reason why the other party handed over this material to Sivel was still hoping to get something in return. But Sivel discovered that this weapon made of special materials had the most unique magic - that is, the traces of life!

At that time, Sivel did not dare to speak out, he only told the nobleman that he needed more time to study this strange material. When he realized that this weapon was different, he immediately moved his family to a sparsely populated seaside city on the mainland, where he settled.

At that time, Siwell knew that his strength alone was limited, so he specially sought out candidates with good talent and understanding from among the young people who came to learn from him, and became his closed student, helping him continue to study how to forge more life weapons from that material. Two of the young men were the most talented of the group of scholars. One was Wen Lin, who was only eight years old at the time, and the other was Nathaniel, who was twelve years old.

In particular, Wen Lin, a boy who was only eight years old at the time, had the most unique understanding and view of creating new weapons, and many of the weapons he helped create had an alternative appearance and special ways to use them. This child has the shadow of his own youth, so Xavier dotes on Wen Lin.

In the years that followed, Nathaniel and Wenlin stayed by his side, and his two daughters grew up and began to learn how to forge weapons. The eldest daughter, Josephine, had little interest in everything, as if the whole world was white and boring in her eyes, and her reticence made the Sivel family so quiet that Winrim and Nathaniel couldn't even change the mood if they wanted to. In order to influence and change Josephine, Cammerine, as a younger sister, thought of a way. She learns how to raise small birds, and then takes a whole bunch of birds home to raise them, and she says that she loves birds, but at the same time she says that she doesn't have so much energy and needs her sister to share it.

In the end, Josephine did not like birds, and as a father, Sivel became a bird lover, and spent most of his time chatting and playing with birds, except for making iron and steel.

At that time, Wen Lin and Nathaniel were already independent weapon forgers, but neither of them left Siwell to live alone, because there was new progress in the creation of life weapons.

For eight years after the first life weapon was completed, Sivel didn't dare touch that piece of material again, because he was bent on figuring out how to get the most out of the first life weapon.

The reason why Sivel called this weapon a weapon of life is because as a blacksmith with a spirit for objects, he can feel the life flowing inside the weapon as he forges it, and the water-like thing is constantly flowing in it. This is the form of life contained in the weapon of life! Every time Sivel tried to attach some magic to the weapon with the enchantment process, the weapon of life would "protest noisily", as if it was forced to eat something it didn't like to eat, and immediately spit it out of its mouth.

Only Sivel knew this, he had never tried to successfully attach any enchantment to it, but until an accident happened...

That time, Sivel was feeding the birds, and when he didn't pay attention, the overnourished bird, which was already too fat to fly, suddenly landed on the first life weapon. The sharp blade inadvertently slashed the bird's wings, and the bird's blood dripped onto the weapon in the next second.

Siwell immediately healed the fat bird, but to Siwell's surprise, the life weapon emitted a strange light! Although the light was extremely short, Siwell could see very clearly that it was definitely not a picture of his own imagination.

After that accident, Sivel began to suspect that these weapons needed some "concoction" to allow some magic to adhere to them, and that the most suitable concoctant was even the blood of living beings.

Only then did Siwell realize that it was really the most appropriate thing to name these weapons as Life Weapons, since they were life weapons, they also needed blood, and only blood could make the power contained in these weapons appear in front of him. Sivel began to try to use the blood of some animals, such as pigs, chickens, and dogs, to smear the weapon, but the blood of these animals did not make the weapon of life react, and it was not until he tried to use the blood of the birds with whom he had been with him again that the first weapon of life appeared again with a strange light.

This made Sivel ruthless, he killed the fat bird, and completely smeared the bird's blood on the first life weapon, and Sivel also used a mysterious enchantment process to attach the magic he thought was appropriate.

The final result surprised Siwell!

The first weapon of life was a sword, and Sivel did not name it until he smeared the blood of the fat bird on the back of the sword, and then he named it the "Birdsong Sword". Sivel originally wanted to possess a rare kind of magic into it, but the birdsong sword seemed to have self-awareness and the ability to change itself, and it actually created a new ability after combining bird's blood and enchanted magic! Whenever Sivel used this birdsong sword to attack the target, the sword would emit a birdsong call, which was extremely harsh, but this harsh sound was only heard by his two students and two daughters, and Sivel would hear a pleasant birdsong. The sound of birdsong that relaxes the wielder's body and soothes the nerves is very beneficial, and Sivel will not feel tired at all when using the sword, but others who hear the piercing birdsong will feel dizzy and uncomfortable.

Although the birdsong could only affect a radius of ten meters, it was already a good sword that any swordsman could dream of. In addition, when Sivel uses this sword, the blade of the Birdsong Sword will gradually become transparent, and even if Wen Lin and Nathaniel keep their eyes open and stare at the blade, they will not be able to see clearly for some time.

This groundbreaking discovery gave Shewell and the two students a great deal of encouragement, and they began to plan to continue to divide the material and forge a few more weapons with these special abilities.

At that time, Wenlin and Nathaniel were very diligent, and they worked day and night around Sivel to study how to create new life weapons, and it was at that time that Kemerine, who had been taking care of the three weapon obsessives, became the object of Wenlin and Nathaniel's affection.

Perhaps even Siwell was unaware of it, but his youngest daughter, Kamerine, told her father one night. When Sivel learns that his youngest daughter is being liked by two of his most trusted and relied on students, Sivel is both happy and depressed. His baby daughter was only fifteen years old, and her appearance had already made the girls of the whole town jealous, and many boys had the excuse of coming to their house to secretly look at her. Wenlin and Nathaniel are both very talented young men, and they are both capable enough to be their sons-in-law, but the biggest problem is that if one gets Kemerine, Sivel will lose the other.

Originally, Siwell planned to let Kemerine make her own choice, but the handsome and arrogant Wen Lin and the romantic and considerate Nathaniel were both very good to Kemerine, which made Kemerine, who knew nothing about love, not know how to choose, and she herself did not know how she really felt about the two, and the thoughts of the three gradually settled down in time. This incident gradually became a knot in the hearts of Wenlin and Nathaniel, and it was also the fuse that later caused the disaster.

After two years of hard days of waking up early and feeling dark, Sivel finally took the two proud students to perfectly divide the special material and create eight weapons.

The first weapon was the original Birdsong Sword, while the rest were armor, spears, shields, crossbows, canes, axes, and a necklace. Among them, the blades of swords, guns, and axes are made of special materials, and the handles are made of other high-quality materials Only a small amount of other materials were added, as for the cane and the necklace, which were carved into two gems of different sizes but the most crystalline and transparent material, and placed in the shaft and the chain of other materials, and the most humble was the crossbow, which only had the string on the top made of special materials. As for the rest of the scraps and scraps, which were burned by Sivel's own hands, he knew that these eight weapons were all life weapons

In this way, eight life weapons can be found in a variety of different forms, and Sivel is proud of his creativity - because the special material is in a strange shape, and every part of the material seems to have its own characteristics, it is a feat to be able to perfectly divide it and make it into eight weapons. But there was one thing that had always haunted Siwell's mind, and even now, Sivel felt that he had forgotten something, as if he had forgotten an uncrafted material.

Winlin and Nathaniel's quest for Cammerine also came to the moment of "separating the winner" after creating eight life weapons, and both realized that even after two years, Camerine still had no choice to make, and they had to determine at this moment who was the man who got Cammerine's heart.

Escorli looked at Miranda, and the other looked at Siwell with a look of intoxication as he told the story of the past, "Your expression seems to be completely attracted by this emotional entanglement. ”

"Yes, those stories about the origin of life weapons should not be as exciting as this one!"

Siwell nodded and said, "Maybe it's because you think so that I'm willing to tell you these long-sealed stories." ”
