"Cao Zhou, what are you going to do when you grow up?"

"I want to be the best spell master in the world. ”

"Then I'm going to be the number one shooter in the world. Cui Lun, what about you?"

"I haven't figured it out yet. ”

"You will become the number one poison master in the world, and the three of us will be invincible in the world together. ”

"Alright then, I'll become the number one poisoner in the world. ”

————

The hunters of the camp quickly walked in front of everyone, led by a man from Sven.

"Cui Lun, long time no see. After speaking, he turned to Sha Feiyu again, "Uncle Sha is good!"

Sha Feiyu lay flat and nodded, and then Cui Lun asked, "Why are you here?"

"When I heard there was movement here, I thought something was wrong. ”

"I mean, why are you in Bright Moon Valley?"

The man smiled bitterly, "A few days ago, another village was slaughtered, so I applied to Captain Kraft to investigate, and there was a surviving child who kept pointing in this direction, so I took someone to Mingyue Valley to take a look." ”

When the man said the word Tucun, Cui Lun's body trembled obviously. Ordinary people will feel cold when they hear such news, let alone people like Cui Lun, this is already the second village massacre incident.

"Did you find anything?"

The man shook his head, "No." ”

"You go ahead with your business, there's nothing wrong with our side. Cui Lun didn't want to talk too much about this topic.

"Alright then, be careful. ”

Before leaving, the man glanced at Shi Kui's body in the distance, but did not ask anything.

The people from the hunting camp slowly walked away, but the atmosphere brought by them did not disperse, and the word Tu Cun that the person said not only affected Cui Lun, but also affected everyone present.

Cui Lun knew this person when he was very young, and his name was Cao Zhou.

When Cao Zhou was a child, he learned the high-level magic circle by chance and became one of the few spell masters in Luoyang Town. With his strong strength, he also once ranked third in the hunting camp list. Unlike Cui Lun, he did not choose to be a hunter after becoming famous, but joined the hunting camp at the invitation of Captain Kraft.

The first occurrence of the massacre in Cao Zhoukou was more than a month ago, when the guards arrived and there was no living mouth in the entire village. This incident caused a lot of repercussions, although bandits are rampant here, but the bandits want money, and they will not massacre the people on such a large scale.

Luoyang Town sent a lot of manpower and material resources to investigate this matter, but there was no result. Although they knew that it couldn't be the bandits, they still put the responsibility for this matter on the bandits.

After Cui Lun told Canglan about these things, Canglan was silent for a long time. He remembered what happened to Qishan, who was slaughtered because of a treasure. Although the reasons are different, the tragic events are played out in various places.

Along the way, Canglan saw many dilapidated villages, where people lived in a miserable way. This kind of suffering does not come from natural disasters, but from man-made disasters. Along the way, Canglan learns that many villages regularly have to pay tribute to bandits, otherwise the bandits will kill. Not everyone has the ability and capital to rebel. Even though there were people in the village who could fight the bandits, they chose to compromise because the resistance of one person could bring suffering to a group of people.

They used their dignity and money to buy their lives from the bandits, but they still couldn't escape the fate of death. Massacre, what a terrible word. Canglan seemed to be able to think of that scene: under the broken wall, by the dry well, there were corpses everywhere, their eyes were round, death came too suddenly, and they didn't have time to prepare.

The smell of blood, the smell of blood. It's from the two water rocks in the package.

The sight in Canglan's eyes became more real because of the smell of blood, and he seemed to have seen it there. He struggled to remember, Cape of the Sea, Mercarin, Magic. Canglan remembered this scene, which was similar to what he saw when he was looking for the other side.

Tightness in the chest.

Canglan suddenly remembered one thing, he had also slaughtered, but the object of slaughter was animals, not people.

The surrounding villages began to turn into forests, and Canglan saw a child sitting on the ground crying, and the surrounding area was full of the corpses of wild beasts, and the scene was much bloodier than Shi Kui just now.

Canglan couldn't get used to seeing Shi Kui's bloody disembowelment, but he could create that kind of blood.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Canglan looked back to see that it was a man with a broken arm. Canglan was terrified, he knew this person, he was the magic gun, the first person Canglan killed. The magic spear slowly approached first, and a few more people appeared around. Those are the subordinates of the Gu family, and they are also the souls of the dead under the Canglan sword.

Canglan breathed rapidly, took a few steps back, and accidentally fell into the abyss, and after a trance, the surrounding environment became familiar. This is Bright Moon Valley, but it's not Bright Moon Valley.

Canglan looked around, the mountains were all over the field, there were corpses, and what flowed in the Mingyue Creek was no longer the river, but blood. And under his feet, Sha Feiyu, Cui Lun, Konglian and Ripples all fell in a pool of blood.

"Come here!"

There was another voice in the distance, and Canglan looked up, and there was a figure in the wilderness surrounded by blood mist.

"Come here. ”

The man spoke again, and Canglan could tell that the voice was the one who controlled his body. Canglan gasped for breath, and a wave of vomiting came over him. It was at this moment that a voice pulled him back to reality, a ripple.

"Are you alright?"

Canglan woke up from the illusion and broke out in a cold sweat.

"The whole person is like a demon. Ripple said, "Let's go, I'll be waiting for you." ”

At this time, his sand and rain were already able to move normally, and several people were ready to set off. Although Canglan was in a complicated mood, he didn't tell them and kept up with the team.

From here, the crowd stopped moving along the river bank and began to walk the mountain path. How difficult the mountain road is, Canglan and Ripple have already seen it, but this time it is not Ripple and Konglian, two girls with poor physical strength, who are holding back, but Sha Feiyu. Although you can move freely, it doesn't mean that you can climb the mountain, Sha Feiyu walked two steps and rested once, and it took five people to climb two mountains for a whole day.

As night fell, everyone found a place to stay.

Along the way, Canglan was thinking about the visions that appeared in the morning.

It's that person again.

Before Canglan arrived in Wangcheng, he had never encountered such a thing, everything happened after the Gu family. When it comes to that time, there is an important person who must be mentioned, the ghost maniac.

The ghost madman puts Canglan into a deep slumber and tries to manipulate Canglan's mind. It was after that that that the person who controlled the vicissitudes of life appeared for the first time.

There is also a possibility that Luo Yao left the mark on Canglan on the corner of the sea, after that time, Canglan also studied it, but there was nothing special, and he didn't even feel the existence of magic. But the illusion appeared because the possibility of this mark was very small, and Canglan didn't believe that Luo Yao would give him such a dangerous thing.

Canglan decided not to think about it anymore, he had been tormented by it all day, and it was time to stop. Canglan took out a piece of water rock from the package, and at this time, the taste of blood had faded a lot.

"Show me. ”

Ripples grabbed Canglan's shoulders from behind and grabbed the water rock.

"Wow, it looks so smooth, it feels so rough to the touch, but it tastes a little bad. ”

"The smell of blood. ”

Ripple seemed to remember the way Shui Yan took it out of Shi Kui's stomach, and handed Shui Yan over to Canglan again, "disgusting"

Sha Feiyu in the distance looked at the two, "I envy you young people, the little couple flirts and scolds, it's really comfortable." ”

Canglan just wanted to refute Sha Feiyu's word 'couple', but Ripple took Sha Feiyu's words first.

"Does Uncle have a family?"

"I've been wandering for half my life, how can I have a family, but it's okay to be comfortable. ”

"Uncle is so cute, he will definitely find the right person. ”

"Haha, I love to hear it. ”

......

Canglan held the water rock, struggling with a question, that is, whether he should forge the water rock into a weapon now. On the one hand, he can forge weapons better with the workshop. On the other hand, because he does not have a swordsmith qualification certificate, he needs to pay a high fee to use the workshop of the swordsmith guild, while the workshop of the general blacksmith is relatively simple and has many hidden dangers. A few days ago, outside the royal city, he already clearly felt the difference. If you just make some ordinary weapons, you may not be able to see the difference, but it is really risky to use such a workshop for high-level weapons.

"Uncle, do you know how the Sword Forgers Guild in Luoyang Town charges?"

"Swordsmith Guild, Cui Lun, do you know?"

Cui Lun was wiping his sword, "It seems that the headquarters is one thousand kuluns a day, and the transfer station is one thousand two hundred kuluns a day." ”

"Is it so expensive?" Ripple asked.

"That's it for now, if you want to be cheaper, you can join their Swordsmith Guild. ”

Canglan didn't understand a little, "What do you call their swordsmith guild?"

"It's their little group, which is not officially recognized, but works in their small place. Now this is the case in many places, there are not many people in a swordsmith guild who really have swordsmith qualifications, and everyone else is a fighter, learning skills by the way, and those who have the ability will go to the royal capital to take the exam, and those who are not capable will do some chores. ”

Cui Lun's words once again subverted Canglan's cognition, he once thought that the people in the Sword Forgers Guild were all sword forgers, and the most disadvantaged ones were apprentices. But if you think about it, after all, the threshold for swordsmiths is very high, and if every swordsmith guild is an official swordsmith, the number of people is definitely not enough.

Hearing these words, especially the price, Canglan no longer hesitated, and decided to forge the water rock into a weapon now.

Canglan didn't avoid the others, just found an empty place, and then directly engraved the flower remains and heavenly work. Except for Ripples, several other people were interested, especially Sha Feiyu, who actually started shouting, but seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he felt a little embarrassed and had to stop.

Most of the previous Canglan exercises were made of ordinary ores, and even if they failed, it didn't matter. But this time it was different, even with two water rocks, he did not allow himself to fail.

Canglan decided to ask for the weapon spear.

The Yao Ling Festival limited the types of weapons, and Canglan wanted to leave the sword system for other ores.

What kind of ore is water and rock, Canglan has his own understanding. First of all, water rock is the best in the water system ore, although it is a relatively soft element of water, but it can achieve the effect of splitting mountains and breaking stones. Secondly, the magic inspired by the water rock also has a healing effect, which is why the blue stone kui will heal itself.

Canglan put the water rock into the sky, and he felt a strangeness, when the magic power flowed through the water rock, it became soft, and his heart was calm, but in this calm, there was a cold breath.

The water rock rotates with the heavens and finally stabilizes in one position.

Canglan took out another piece of cold iron and put it into Tiangong. Then, under the action of Tiangong, the cold iron slowly turned into liquid, and moved closer to the center of Tiangong. As soon as the cold iron moved to the center of the heavenly work, it began to change, slowly turning into the shape of a spear, but it was only a mass of liquid.

The Cold Iron Spear lay in the center of the Heavenly Craft, and the water rock was to its left. Canglan mobilized the magic power, and the magic power turned into a strange substance through heavenly work, which enveloped the water rock, and the water rock slowly dissolved in it. This process continued for a while until the water rock disappeared completely. Then, the substance began to move closer to the Cold Iron Spear, slowly enveloping every part of the spear. After the spear is completely encased, the outermost layer of these substances becomes dark.

At this time, it is the most critical step of this casting, fusion.

Unlike the fusion of traditional sword-casting, the fusion of two materials using a magic circle is more complicated, and this complexity is artificial. Circle sword casting is actually a more advanced method of sword casting, but there is a boundary problem here, but most swordsmiths use magic circles to forge swords that are not as good as traditional methods. In other words, the upper limit of the magic circle forging sword is higher, but the difficulty is greater.

One significant difference between the Circle Sword Forge and the traditional method is fusion. Traditional sword-forging fusion is simply melting two materials and fusing them, but the circle can make the process more detailed. Swordsmiths can use the circle to distribute the various materials according to their own ideas, so that the weapon can achieve the best effect.

At the same time, this process requires a great deal of magic power, and it is at this time that the unexpected happens.

In order to maximize the effect of water and rock, Canglan compressed its volume. What Canglan didn't expect was that there was a lot of loss in the process of fusing the water rock, which was not enough to complete this spear.

This sword forging must not fail.

Canglan took out another piece of water rock in the package and put it into Tiangong. Repeating the previous steps, the second water rock melts into the black substance. However, the loss of Canglan's magic power is serious, and if it continues, it may cause the other side to get out of control.

Do you want to use the other side to engrave the heavenly workmanship?

Canglan had a bold idea, but he immediately rejected it. Even with the flower remains, his control over the other side is not enough to use the heavenly workmanship. Excluding this option, the only option Canglan has is to reduce the output of mana. He'd never done it before, but now he can only fight it once.

The second piece of black matter that dissolves the water rock merges with the first, and the process of fusion begins again. As he had thought before, he began to slowly reduce the transmission of mana. With the reduction in mana transmission, the fusion did not change in the slightest. Until the transmission of mana drops to a certain point, the process of fusion slows down all of a sudden, and the mana is slightly increased, and the rate of fusion returns to normal.

Canglan was overjoyed, this rate of mana transmission had no effect on the sword, and it also saved nearly half of Canglan's mana.

The process of integration is successfully completed, and there is no difficulty in the future.

Soon, the spear, which was originally only an outline, slowly became concrete, various patterns began to appear on the barrel, and the tip of the spear became sharp. Eventually, a dark blue spear floated in the heavenly workmanship, and Canglan held the spear, and then took the heavenly work.

The spear in his hand is very heavy, and it is very easy to use. Canglan waved a few times, then used his magic slightly, and as the spear swung, the water splashed as well. Canglan slashed hard, directly splitting a boulder

"Okay!", Sha Feiyu clapped his hands on the side, "I've been in so many teams, and there aren't many swordsmiths who can have your skills. ”

"It's over. Canglan was a little embarrassed by Sha Feiyu.

"I'm a straightforward man who tells the truth. ”

"That's why you're being kicked out," Cui Lun said on the side.

"How can I talk to your uncle, I quit on my own. Sha Feiyu argued.

The night was soon deep, and Sha Feiyu's body had not yet recovered, so after the vigil, Canglan and Cui Lun were two. In the second half of the night, Canglan woke up and saw Cui Lun still sitting by the fire, so he walked over.

"Why don't you wake me up. ”

"I'm thinking about things. ”

"Go to bed, it's going to be dawn in a minute. ”

Canglan took over Cui Lun's vigil, and he leaned against a stone, thinking about today's events. The morning's events were indeed unpleasant, but he also acquired two water rocks. Although there was an accident in the process of forging swords at night, my own experience in forging swords increased a little. I don't know how to describe this day.

Before you know it, the eastern sky is glowing, and a new day is about to begin. Canglan got up to see the sunrise, and a strange feeling hit again, and it was the feeling of being spied on.

Is it really just a beast?

Canglan woke up the others, and everyone packed their bags and headed for the last leg of the journey.
