Chapter I: Weapon Scar Appraisers

Next Chapter

The blade as thin as a cicada's wing slashed lightly across his fingers, and his white skin was suddenly cut into a deep wound that could be seen as a bone. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Blood spurted out in an instant, pouring on the silver sword in front of him.

Pain! Ten fingers to the heart!

Lei Luo frowned, his gaze focused on the blade of the sword.

This is a mid-grade soldier with a Gundam Gentier!

Whether it is a sword hilt made of a single piece of fire crystal, or a sword body made of a mixture of as many as twenty-five precious materials, it all shows its value.

In this way, he did not dare to be sloppy, for fear of miscalculation.

For a weapon scar examiner, even the slightest mistake can lead to repair failure or even scrap a soldier.

Lei Luo didn't want to ruin this rare good sword because of himself.

More importantly, he couldn't afford to lose his hard-earned job, even though his body would be doubly weakened every time he tested a weapon!

Crimson blood flowed along the blade of the sword, as if it had a spiritual nature, and in the blink of an eye, a blood-colored film was covered on the surface of the sword.

As the blood film covered, the silver sword body suddenly changed.

The lines of the thin hair protruded abruptly from the position close to the hilt of the sword, snaking upwards, and in a moment a rune full of mystical meaning had been constructed.

Boosters!

Lei Luo recognized the nature of the rune at a glance, and the corners of his mouth flashed with a smile that was indeed so.

As a strengthening talisman that is known as the three basic runes along with Breaking Defense and Fusion, it can not only make the communication between the weapon and the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi smoother, but also enhance the strength of the weapon, so that it can withstand the terrifying amount of True Yuan infusion, so as to exert a pinnacle blow.

If the prediction is correct, this Xuan-rank warrior that combines the attributes of scorching flame and radiance can withstand the upper limit at least the level of an innate martial artist.

This means that even if you look at the entire Linze City, this long sword can be ranked among the top ten.

I don't know what kind of fierce fighting it has been going through, and it can inflict a heavy setback on such a powerful weapon.

Lei Luo thought curiously, but he didn't have much intention of exploring.

Soldiers, especially powerful soldiers, are often closely related to the strength of the bearer.

Not only because the weapon itself is powerful, but also because it can determine the true nature of the warrior and even the bloodline inheritance.

But all warriors regard soldiers as their second life, and they will not treat outsiders as idle.

Even if a weapon is damaged, the vast majority of people will entrust it to a trusted refiner.

Only those who lack access or emergency will choose a reputable weapon shop for repair.

The 'Cloud Record' where Lei Luo is located is undoubtedly such a weapon shop.

As one of the largest weapons shops in Linze City, Yunji has almost reached the extreme of protecting the privacy of customers, not only setting up a secret room to isolate it during the handover, but also having a strict confidentiality system during the restoration process.

Among them, inquiring about the origin of customers is a taboo among taboos.

Lei Luo shook his head, dispelling the curious thoughts, and his eyes were fixed on the streamlined sword body.

Just as he was distracted, the surface of the blood membrane attached to the sword body was completely occupied by runes of different shapes.

Strengthening, fuseing, breaking defenses, and even scorching and radiant ......

The more he watched, the more he was amazed.

Inside this rare weapon, just the two runes of Scorching Flame and Radiance are enough to contain as many as a hundred paths!

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine how a sword body that was less than half an inch wide and less than three inches long could hold so many runes!

Lei Luo could almost conclude that a refiner who had created a weapon of this caliber was definitely a master!

He watched intently as each rune went.

Under the effect of the fusion charm, the independent attribute runes of the hundred paths are connected in an unspeakable mystical way.

Once the True Element is infused, all the runes will be activated at the same time, exerting extreme power like an arm and finger.

The lines of those delicate hairs are the power channels established by the fusion charm.

Once the passage is broken, it means that the weapon is damaged.

The long sword in front of him was obviously not lightly damaged.

With just one look, Lei Luo had already found six breaking points.

These breaking points are broken runes, which can only be restored to their original state by re-engraving them by the Alchemist.

Re-engrave runes is not a simple task, and it is not even easier than creating a brand new one, and it is often quite expensive to repair one.

Among them, the cost paid to the refiner accounts for more than half.

Compared to Lei Luo, who could only get one-tenth of the remaining part, the monthly income of even the most ordinary alchemist apprentice was enough for him to look up to.

Lei Luo's greatest wish is to become an apprentice refiner, and if he can fulfill his wish, he can no longer worry about money.

It's a pity that the 'metal perception' bloodline in his body has become an insurmountable barrier for him to go to the path of a refiner.

In fact, the profession of weapon scar appraiser is not without money.

If the concentration of bloodlines is sufficient, after many awakenings, you can step into the ranks of Appraisal Masters and even Saint Appraisers.

At that time, casually identifying a heaven-level warrior will be enough to make him worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

The premise is that the blood concentration is sufficient, at least above a high level.

And Lei Luo's bloodline is just a lower position!

This means that he can only stay in the realm of an ordinary appraiser in this life, no matter how hard he tries, it will be in vain!

Standing in front of the huge long case, Lei Luo had a trace of bitterness on his face.

It was not that he didn't want to give up this career that was destined to have no way forward, but when he thought of his father Lei Yuanshan's pleading eyes in his expectation, he suddenly sighed and continued to work at the desk.

"Here, here, and here......"

Follow the lines outlined by the runes little by little, and after a few moments, find five more breaking points.

With the addition of the previous six, the three-inch sword blade actually destroyed a full eleven runes!

And that's not all!

As the scrutinizing gaze followed the rune towards the end, Lei Luo's pupils shrank sharply.

Approaching the end of the rune at the hilt of the sword, the two attribute runes that should have been distinct turned out to be a strange fusion of one.

With just one glance, Lei Luo had already concluded that the compound rune at the end was the soldier's rune eye.

The rune eye is the rune hub of the soldiers!

The level of a weapon is certainly affected by the material and architecture, but in the end, it is the Fu Yan that plays a decisive role.

To evaluate the level of a refiner, you don't even need to look at other aspects, just look at his rune eye design ideas and effects.

The rune eye structure of the soldier in front of him is quite mysterious, and the refiner doesn't know what method he has used to eliminate the natural rejection between attribute runes!

The direct effect is that when the True Element is infused, it will activate both the additional power of Scorching Fire and Radiance, maximizing the potential of the weapon.

Very powerful!

Lei Luo became more and more emotional.

It was only when he looked closely that he found that the two runes that were originally fused together actually showed signs of separation.

"Could it be...... The rune eye is damaged!"

He couldn't help but gasp, once the talisman eye was damaged, it would most likely lead to the downgrading of the weapon!

After a moment's thought, Lei Luo picked up a pen and paper and began to describe the scars.

This is the final process of weapon identification, and the more experienced the appraiser, the more accurate the scar information can describe.

It is said that if you reach the realm of an appraisal master, you will not only be able to describe the damaged fusion charm clearly, but you can even provide a perfect solution for the refiner.

However, Lei Luo was obviously not up to this level, he only needed to pinpoint the location of the damaged rune.

The slender tip of the pen kept moving on the paper, and after half an hour, eleven runes with different damaged parts were already on the paper.

And the damaged rune eyes!

Lei Luo stopped writing, suddenly hesitating.

It stands to reason that Fu Yan already belongs to the category of a refiner, and even if it is damaged, it will not be his turn to identify it.

Under normal circumstances, before the damaged weapon was delivered to him, the refiner sitting in the shop had already made a rough assessment.

That's how you can make a price to your customers.

Since the refiner did not point out that the rune eye was damaged, it meant that this compound rune should be normal.

If he hastily writes it down on paper, even if the person in charge of the store doesn't bother him, I'm afraid that he will attract ridicule from others.

It is even very likely that he will offend the refiner in charge of the assessment.

Pretend to turn a blind eye, or tell the truth?

Lei Luo looked at the soldiers on the side, his heart was entangled.

It's okay to make a mistake in judgment, but if the real rune eye is damaged, I'm afraid it can't be solved by simple repair, and even ordinary refiners are no longer competent.

He gritted his teeth, solemnly wrote down his findings, and strode out of the room.

Not long after he left, a refiner appeared in front of the long case.

He looked closely at the description of the injuries left by Lei Luo, and when his eyes turned to the last line, he suddenly paused.

Then, the incomparably young face was already covered with a look of ridicule: "The talisman eye is damaged, when did even a beginner appraiser dare to point fingers at the refiner?"

He threw the injury report aside, his expression full of disdain.

Unbeknownst to Lei Luo, the identification that had taken a lot of effort to complete had been abandoned.

His mind was entirely on the old man behind the counter.

To be exact, on the silver tickets stacked in front of the old man.

It wasn't until he walked out of the appraisal room and listened to the cheerful discussions of several shop guys he knew on weekdays that he suddenly realized that today was a monthly payday.

"Limber, you're tired, old rules!"

Standing in front of the counter, Lei Luo greeted him respectfully.

It was impossible for him to be disrespectful, not to mention that this old man who held the financial power of Yun Ji was extremely senior, and just arranging for him to work here was enough to make Lei Luo feel grateful from the bottom of his heart.

Although the appraiser's requirements for bloodline talent are not as good as those of a refiner with almost strict conditions, in addition to having a metallic bloodline, the bloodline itself is also an important factor that cannot be ignored.

As the largest weapons shop in Linze City, Yunji recruits appraisers who naturally won't refuse to come like those small businessmen.

In fact, with Lei Luo's conditions, if it weren't for this old man who had some friendship with his father, he would not be qualified to be admitted at all.

Coupled with Lin Bo's help in the past year, Lei Luo was full of respect for the old man.

"Hehe, I've got it ready for you!"

Hearing Lei Luo's voice, Limber raised his head, a loving smile on his age-spotted face.

This old man, who is almost old, has served by Master Yun Dingxing, the founder of Yunji and one of the only two great refiners in Linze City, when he was a child.

Due to talent issues, he was unable to become a refiner or appraiser, and his martial arts achievements were extremely limited, but this did not prevent Master Yun from trusting him.

Even the current head of Yun Ji, Han Jian, Master Yun's third disciple, maintained due respect for him.

It's just that as Lin Bo gets older and older, I'm afraid the time to leave Yunji is getting closer and closer.

Lei Luo sighed to himself, and saw the old man trembling and taking out two fist-sized jade bottles from under the counter.

He hurriedly took it, the jade bottle was cool to his hand, and it was obviously carved from high-grade cold jade.

Just this jade bottle containing the elixir can be sold for nearly a hundred taels of silver!

Lei Luo knew that this was the old man's care for him, and couldn't help but smile gratefully.

Just as he was about to speak, Limber handed over a black bag again.

The bag is not big, but it is unexpectedly heavy.

Lei Luo subconsciously took it, and he had already guessed what was inside.

I only heard Lin Bo say: "The master has recently retreated and cultivated, and he has not refined weapons, I have found a few scrap soldiers in good condition from the arsenal, you can take them back and ponder them!"

Sure enough, it's a scrapped soldier!

Lei Luo's heart pounded.

As the name suggests, a scrapped soldier is a soldier who has failed to refine or repair.

Although it is a failed work, it does not mean that the runes in it will be completely destroyed, there will always be some intact runes and ideas that are worth learning and referencing.

In particular, the weapons forged by Master Yun himself, even if they are scrapped, can be called priceless.

The reason why Lei Luo could see that the soldier's talisman eye was damaged was because of the experience he had learned from the abandoned soldiers.

It's a pity that Yun Ji's management of the scrap soldiers is quite strict, and except for the refiners of the headquarters, it is almost impossible for others to come into contact with these treasures.

Lei Luo also asked Lin Bo for help with the attitude of giving it a try, but he didn't want this old man to accept without hesitation.

In the past year, there have been more than 20 scrap soldiers from Lin Bo's hands, and a trace of the mystery of the refiner has also been glimpsed.

Lei Luo didn't know how to express his gratitude at this time, and he bowed deeply to the old man behind the counter.

Lin Bo accepted it calmly, his cloudy old eyes showed a pleased smile, and he said, "The situation in the distant mountains is still not improving?"

Lei Luo's face darkened and he nodded.

Lin Bo sighed: "Xie Yunfeng, this bastard, sooner or later will be retribution!"

Lei Luo was silent and smiled bitterly.

Seeing this, Lin Bo waved his hand and said, "Go back, study hard, even if you put the metal perception bloodline in the refiner, it can be called an excellent talent, but it's a pity that your bloodline concentration is only lower." Otherwise, even if you reach the middle position, I can recommend you to become a master disciple. “

"You've helped me enough, as for the refiner...... Alas!"

Lei Luo sighed and shook his head, saying goodbye to Limber.
