Norman learned from the Knights Templar a phrase called Sima Zhao's Heart, known to passers-by, and he felt that it was a fitting phrase to describe Shival.

This gentleman is obviously unwilling to accept the results of the primogeniture inheritance system, and is constantly doing his best to do something, which is why there is the fact that they are now living in the city lord's mansion. And, obviously, Xival must be more than just these shrimp soldiers and crab generals, more of his strength should have already been accumulated and is hiding in the shadows at the moment, and his desire to win over Master Hugo also proves this: if he has no private soldiers under his command, why would he go to such great lengths to win over a master weapon caster?

It's just that the situation in Douala is still very calm now, the city lord of Aubrey is not old, and his body is strong, it is the prime of life, and there will be no battle for succession in a year and a half. There is no pressure to seize the heir immediately, judging by Xival's character analysis, the pressure he puts on Hugo will not be great, and he will not be forced too tightly, mainly Huairou will be the mainstay, so Norman will live in the city lord's mansion with peace of mind, and will not be involved in political disputes.

But what he didn't expect was that Shival suddenly had a need for weapons.

The change is too sudden, and this is definitely not a qualitative change caused by quantitative changes, but should be caused by external factors.

According to Norman, nothing has changed in the castle recently, the political and social environment around Douala has not changed, the health of the lord's family has not changed, and Santa Vita is still entangled in a mess and has not changed.

The only variable related to this was the same in Norman's opinion, and that was the appearance of Adolf Streipak, so it is no wonder that he thought of this person in the first place.

"Judging from the current information, Adolf is becoming more and more suspicious. Obviously, it was what he said to Shival that caused Xival's mind to suddenly become irritable. ”

"To successfully convince the son of a city lord, so that the other party is willing to make up his mind to speed up the process of such a big event, this Adolf's identity is obviously not trivial, so he can give Xival great confidence, but there is another possibility, that is, the power of spells, if Xival is confused by the spell, it is also possible for such a thing to happen, but this possibility is relatively small, after all, there are so many people in the city lord's mansion, and there are some mages, if the son of the city lord, Shival, if he really hits any spell, I believe that he will soon be discovered, but we recommend that you find a chance to take a look and rule out this possibility in person......”

As soon as they heard the information from Ji Ruoxi's mouth, the Knights Templar immediately followed suit.

"What should I do?"

After Ji Ruoxi told Norman the news that Shival had come, he asked, "Do you want to build a weapon for him?" Also, when did you start refining the antidote?"

Obviously, the last sentence was what Ji Ruoxi really wanted to say, and she was already very anxious when she asked, but she forcibly pressed it.

"Two days, two days, two days, how many two days have been this?!"

The divine blood of Dieurtnath is very powerful, Norman has seen it, and Shannie is now so fond of him, obviously because of the divine blood of Baidiertnas. But this god's divine blood is not omnipotent, at least it didn't make the little girl of the dragon clan in front of him madly infatuated with him, and she could still be angry with him - if it weren't for the fact that he was the only one in their group who had the hope of refining the antidote, I am afraid that Ji Ruoxi, the little girl, might even want to do it directly to him.

However, Norman also understands that after all, it is not easy for a little girl: as a little girl of the dragon clan, she left her homeland and came to the human territory, and she is very insecure psychologically in the first place, especially now that she is not only in the potion herself, but the only "pro-dragon" uncle is also on the verge of death - that is also what she will look like in the future.

Life and death are just around the corner, and death threats are smiling at her not far away, in the face of such a situation, it is not easy to continue to act and play her role well like Ji Ruoxi, how can you expect her to have no temper at all?

"It started tonight. ”

Facing Ji Ruoxi's irrepressible anxiety, Norman's words calmed down the other party's emotions instantly.

When he saw Ji Ruoxi looking at him, his pupils dilated suddenly, and his mouth opened slightly, as if he was about to say something, but in the end he only squirmed twice and closed it again.

Is this called being speechless?

A thought flashed through Norman's mind, but he immediately pushed it aside and asked, "Did he say anything about the specific type of weapon?"

The long-awaited antidote refining is finally going to be implemented tonight, and this sudden good news alleviates Ji Ruoxi's negative emotions that have been accumulating for a long time, and also makes her tone soften, and says: "Yes, he wants us to build three conventional cross swords, which are mainly sharp and strong, by the way, he also made a very strange request, saying that he hopes that these three cross swords will not be magic weapons." In addition, he asked for a scimitar......"

The weapons requested by Shival were not small, and there were twelve in total.

This is for an ordinary blacksmith, especially when there are specific performance requirements for each weapon, it takes a long time to make, a month or two is normal, but Shival requires these things to be completed in half a month.

Based on Norman's knowledge of Shival, this gentleman was not a master who liked the difficulties of strong men, but on the contrary, he was a rather cautious gentleman. Since he said this, it is likely that he has already done an investigation on "Master Hugo", and knows that this master has made so many magic weapons in just one day, and he has an understanding of this master's efficiency, and knows that the efficiency he asks for is not difficult for this master.

This act of covert investigation was very much in line with the Templar Knights' personality model for Sival, and the specific weapon-making requirements convinced Norman that something was going on in secret.

In particular, the three "regular cross swords that don't want magic weapons".

For knights, under the same quality, magic weapons are naturally better and more powerful than non-magic weapons, but that is based on the fact that you are proficient in your own weapons, and if you are using them temporarily, magic weapons are not necessarily as good as non-magic weapons.

In the heat of battle, your skillful combat skills are likely to be disrupted by sudden magic effects, and such magic weapons will not only not help you, but will become an accomplice to your death, which Norman is very aware of as half of the knights who have experienced actual combat.

Obviously, the City Lord's Mansion, or Douala, has outsiders in a hurry.

Lancelot's analysis of the news was similar to what Norman had thought.

"These outsiders came in a hurry, they wanted to do what they wanted, all in such a hurry that they didn't even have their weapons ready. ”

It's just that his analysis is more detailed and extensive: "But in terms of numbers, it can be seen that these outsiders are definitely not very numerous, and it is likely that they have experienced some battles before, and their weapons were destroyed in that battle, or in those battles, so that new weapons are needed." And such a small number of people can give Xival, the son of the city lord who has been waiting patiently, so much confidence, and then synthesize the previous information, it can be seen that these outsiders are absolute elites, so that the son of the city lord who has been waiting patiently has lost his patience in a short period of time, we can even guess that this Mr. Xival is very likely to believe that he has secured the throne of the city lord of Douala at this moment, if it were not for this, he would not be so eager. We don't know anything about how elite these outsiders must be to give him such strong confidence, the only thing we know is that the other party's configuration reflected by Xival's performance is that the other party must have a mage, and the identity of the other party's behind-the-scenes envoy must be higher than that of Aubrey, and it should be a duke or above......"

Growing up in a medieval feudal society, Xival would never have imagined that he would only reveal that he hoped that the other party could help him build some weapons, and that so much information would be exposed.

“...... He said that he would provide all the materials, and that we would only need to make a list for him, and that he would prepare the location, and that we would be paid handsomely according to the number of weapons. ”

Ji Ruoxi wouldn't know that the information she relayed would make the people in front of her think so much.

After listening to Ji Ruoxi, Norman asked, "Did he say what the remuneration was?"

Ji Ruoxi replied obediently: "What he said is very vague, and what can be clearly heard is that there will be the status of a nobleman afterwards, as well as money in Kintaran." ”

Maybe it's because she got Norman's assurance, and she started refining the antidote tonight, which makes her now obedient like a quail, and she can't see any of her previous anger, as if she is afraid that her little anger will anger Norman in front of her, so that the other party is unwilling to refine the antidote.

"Aristocrats?

This shot is indeed generous enough, and it is probably the best reward that ordinary people can imagine, but it is not attractive to Norman now.

After thinking about it, he wanted Ji Ruoxi to use the tactics of delaying and delaying, and planned to leave quickly after he finished refining the antidote, he didn't want to waste his strength to help the son of the city lord build some weapons and mix them into the chaos of the Douala city lord family.

But before he could speak, Lancelot's voice came.

"Yes. ”

Can you say yes?

Promise a ghost, do they really want to get involved in this themselves?

But Lancelot's words immediately answered his doubts: "The development of Magic Pool 2.0 has been basically successful, and this is a very good opportunity, you can take this opportunity to justifiably ask Syvar for a large number of materials we need to carry out the practical production of Magic Pool 2.0." This not only saves us from economic troubles, but also hides us in information, the resource collection ability of a city lord's mansion is much stronger than that of you alone, some materials may be difficult for you to collect personally, but it is very easy for a behemoth like a city lord to do......"

Has Magic Pool 2.0 been successfully developed?

Lancelot had previously said that they were working on a new version of the magic pool, and Norman thought it would take a long time to do so, but he didn't expect them to have already done so.

It also made his heart move.

He who has tasted the sweetness of the magic pool, but he knows what a powerful thing it is, if there is a magic pool, he will have a much more sense of security on this trip to the north, after all, although Chen Qinghe said that as long as he escorts Ji Ruoxi back, he will ensure that he can travel to the northland, but it is always the territory of the dragon clan, the territory of the alien race, and he feels that he still has the strength to make himself feel at ease.

And the magic pool is the most reliable and powerful thing he can use for his body.

"Okay, you go and promise him, you can. ”

At the thought of the magic pool, Norman immediately agreed.

But Ji Ruoxi was dissatisfied again, and asked, "What about the antidote?"

Norman said: "The antidote is made quickly, it doesn't take much time, and it can be done at night, so there is no conflict between the two. And according to what he said, he should have provided us with a place outside the City Lord's Mansion to build weapons, right? The refining of the antidote is not suitable for the city lord's mansion, and it is just right to put it outside to carry out together, it is more hidden, killing two birds with one stone. ”

Ji Ruoxi opened his mouth to speak and stopped.

She still hopes that Norman can concentrate on refining the antidote, and wait until the antidote is refined, but Norman has said so now, and she can't force it anymore, don't anger Norman at that time, and he won't be able to refine the antidote well, so it's not good.

So she finally endured it, "Okay. ”

After deciding these things, Norman couldn't wait to start refining Mana Pool 2.0, which made him quickly sit down, take out the banknotes and start making a list. Of these, a small part of the things are used to make weapons for appearance, and most of the things are refining materials for Mana Pool 2.0, which Lancelot reported as he wrote it down on the list.

Because the magic pool is also made of metal, it is essentially no different from weapons, so there is nothing to doubt about the material, and as for many of the alchemy materials, there is nothing to say - don't you ask that it is best to create some magic weapons? To create magic weapons, you must need to use alchemy materials! You should be happy to see these things.

While writing these things, Norman was also secretly looking forward to it: Magic Pool 2.0, compared with Magic Pool 1.0, what improvements will there be?
