Chapter 38: The Heart of a Vampire
Ruby did not make a rash bid, although the temperament and attitude of "Mr. Locke" are very convincing, but as an old qualified adventurer, an old Jianghu who has licked blood with a knife head for I don't know how many times, when it comes to money, he is not so easy to give in.
So he thought about it for a moment, and handed the demon knife to Mr. Locke, asking him to appreciate it.
Mr. Locke—or Tiger—took the knife and first looked closely at the scabbard. The scabbard of this knife was made of ancient wood, and he didn't know what method was used, but the wood of the scabbard was still glowing green, and he could even feel a faint vitality in it.
If you give this scabbard to the druids in the castle who are passionate about flowers and plants and experimental fields all day long, I am afraid that they will be able to use it as a seed to replant the tree of that year.
Aside from the fact that it contains vitality, this scabbard is nothing special. The workmanship is very simple, just two pieces of wood wrapped with thin vines.
He drew his knife, only to see a flash of white light, and suddenly a cold air filled the lobby of the store.
The knife is about two feet long, which is a little shorter than a normal knife. The blade is quite thin and bent very much, so you can see that it is not suitable for slashing or bumping, even if it is used to stab people, I am afraid that it may not be very easy to use. However, Xue Liang's blade was cold, and there was a faint flow of blood light on the blade, which was obviously extremely sharp, if it was slashed on the neck, I was afraid that I would have to wait for my head to fall off before I could react.
He held the blade up, plucked a hair from his hand, and gently rested it. Without the slightest surprise, the hair broke in two the moment it touched the blade.
"Good knives!" the guy couldn't help but praise.
The so-called blowing hair breaks, but that's it!
The tiger nodded, closed his eyes, and used his sword soul to echo the spirituality in this sword.
This echo made him suddenly feel a little surprised in his heart.
The spirituality of this knife is so different from what you imagined!
It is said that such a demon knife should be amazingly strong spiritually, and it should be full of crazy resentment. The tiger rashly contacted it, and could even be attacked by it. But in fact, he could feel the will of anger and resentment contained in this knife, but more than that, it was a quaint and desolate aura, like a dry old tree, numbly watching the various animals in the woods grow old, sick and die.
(No!This isn't the breath that a demon knife should have!)
The tiger secretly wondered, and he immediately understood the origin of these two different spirits—the will of resentment, the curse of the old shaman, and the quaint aura, the accumulation of the knife for many years of use in celestial burial ceremonies.
But...... At the beginning of the game, this knife didn't have any "quaint atmosphere" or other introductions......
He frowned, thinking secretly.
After thinking for a while, he opened his eyes and asked thoughtfully, "How many owners has this knife changed so far?"
Ruby replied a little dazedly, "After killing that old shaman, the knife went to Tom." When he died, I brought it to ......"
(I see!)
The tiger suddenly realized.
(original...... This demon knife hasn't really taken shape yet!)
(According to the game's plot, it should have killed six adventurers before it became notorious and made people dare not care, thus earning it the notoriety of "Cursed Demon Knife".) The resentful will in the knife devoured six lives in the process, and also devoured the quaint aura accumulated by the heavenly burial ritual, and finally had such a terrifying curse effect. )
(It's too early again!damn it!)
But when he thought about it, he was relieved.
If you really wait until this knife is notorious to buy it, regardless of the price, the difficulty of holding the magic sword awakening ceremony after buying it back is not a small problem - the magic sword must be awakened through the ritual before it can really take shape. The Demon Sword version of the "Wrath of the Jungle" awakening ritual is extremely difficult, and when I first played the game, most of the Demon Sword Masters who tried to awaken it failed.
The ritual of awakening the magic sword is a big gamble for the masters of the magic sword. If you win the bet, you can get a magic sword and improve your strength. If the gamble is lost, not only will the expensive ritual materials be ruined, but the raw materials of the magic sword, the strange weapon, will also be destroyed.
When I first played the game, the equipment could be brushed repeatedly, so destroying some materials, everyone was just sighing two sentences like "hands are really black", but when the game became a reality, if the materials were destroyed, the cost was put aside for the time being, where to find a weapon with a strong spirituality?
In contrast, the current "Jungle Fury" is not powerful enough, but it is easy to awaken!
However, he was still a little unwilling, thought about it, opened the chat channel, told him about the situation he had encountered, and then asked what to do.
After a while, the members of the strategy team replied one after another.
[Fenghuang: Actually, in my opinion, it's better to purify it and directly use the original Heavenly Burial Knife to awaken. 】
[Sleepless Night: If you want it to evolve into a demon knife, you have to let it curse a few more people to death.] You can leave it in the store and go back later, I guess it'll be fine. 】
【Tiger:...... This is not good, in order for me to get the demon sword, I have to kill innocent adventurers?]
[Kazuin: You can buy this knife, and then we will catch the bandit, forcibly stuff the knife into him, and then let him escape—he will definitely die in the forest and become a sacrifice for the formation of demon knives. That's probably fine. 】
[Tiger: Needless to say, I have decided! No matter whether the bandits should die or not, I can't use a living person to refine the demon sword, this is a matter of principle of being a human being!]
Horus: You're not human anymore, you're a vampire. 】
[Tiger: Although my body is a vampire, my heart is still a human being!Besides, who says that a vampire must be a bad guy?
He angrily closed the chat window, and ignored the sudden and chattering Horus, then put the knife back into its sheath, returned the knife to Ruby, and said to the fellow and Ruby: "The curse in this knife is not trivial, I don't have to buy it, but if you don't sell it, remember not to take it into the forest." ”
"If you go into the forest...... What will happen?" Ruby asked worriedly.
The tiger looked at him and said, "Isn't there an example?"
Ruby's face turned white suddenly: "I...... I've been holding it before, so it's going to happen, can I? Can I go into the forest again?"
The tiger thought for a moment and said, "Don't go these days." If you can, go to the various temples these days to pray - if I were you, I'd just go out of the house right now to send Tom's inheritance back, and avoid the limelight of the curse of the demon sword. ”
Ruby nodded repeatedly, thought about it, hesitated for a moment, and handed the knife to the tiger again.
"Mr. Locke, this knife ...... Would you like to buy it?"
