"Divine punishment, are you sure he said that?" asked the giant Jesse with a frown, he had the impression that only fools in Middle-earth would be deceived by the tricks of the gods, and the dwarves never seemed to care. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"That's right, the news has been spreading for a while, and the Council of Elders didn't care about it at first, but recently several mercenary groups have withdrawn from the city, and even the merchant groups have decreased a lot......"

Elliot was a little weak-hearted, and he intended to put the blame for this matter on the Presbyterian Council, but in fact, the Presbyterian Council had told him about the situation a month earlier, and he felt that there was no need to tell the city lord such nonsense.

Who would have thought that those mercenary groups that are in a hurry on weekdays would listen to such inexplicable rumors?

They were all fools, Elliot scolded inwardly, but he still maintained a respectful look on his face.

Anyone in front of Jesse City Lord will feel a huge pressure, even if Elliot's role in the giant city-state is already above 10,000 people, it is no exception.

"Where is Marcus now?" Jesse is nearly two meters tall, and his whole person is as thin as a sword, because of this size, it is rumored that he is a descendant of Middle-earth (the natives of the Knights Federation are generally short), but no one dares to say this in front of Jesse - in the Knights Federation, Middle-earth is synonymous with cowardice.

"It should still be in the city...... Elliot looked up and glanced at Jesse's face hurriedly, and saw that the city lord was not in a bad mood, so he relaxed slightly.

Marcus is a dwarven blacksmith, one of the most distinguished dwarven blacksmiths to be exact, and the chain mail worn by the lord Jesse is his hand.

Don't look at the inconspicuous ash of this chain mail, it is all made of secret realm dark steel. In Elliot's mind, Lord Jesse hadn't ridden a horse since he put on the chainmail, and the reason couldn't be simpler: even the strongest horse couldn't carry such a chainmail.

It took Jesse more than four hundred years to collect so much Mystical Steel, and he would give Marcus the task of crafting this chain mail, which shows that the latter's blacksmithing skills are extraordinary.

After the conflict with the Far North, everyone thought that Marcus would leave the Giants, but he unexpectedly stayed, in fact, the recent rumors of divine punishment have caused such a big reaction because it came from Marcus's mouth.

"Bring him to me,......" Jesse said halfway through, thought for a moment and then said, "Forget it, I'd better go see him." ”

......

Compared to Marcus's reputation, his blacksmith shop is so inconspicuous that if it weren't for Elliot who accompanied Jesse here, it would be hard to believe that this slightly dilapidated blacksmith shop has produced countless weapons and armor famous in the Knightly Federation.

The door to the blacksmith's shop was so low that not only Jesse had to bend down to get in, but even Elliot, who was of average height.

This old fellow must have made a heart, Elliot scolded.

"Why did you come so late?" an old voice rang out in the dimly lit blacksmith's shop, "but I thought you'd take me away." ”

Elliot stepped aside and stood behind Jesse before he saw Marcus.

The dwarf was sitting on a small stool by the fire, a smoking gun in his hand, and he seemed to be waiting for Lord Jesse to come to him.

"I've always respected a master like you. ”

Jesse's voice sounded calm, not like he was asking for a crime, Elliot had already guessed that he would be like this, a blacksmith who had the ability to build the Secret Realm Xuangang did deserve such respect.

Marcus smiled, looked at Jesse with interest, and said, "It's been more than a hundred years since this chain mail was completed, if I'm not mistaken, you're going to collect all the materials to build that phantom sword, right?"

Jesse's face could not be seen from Elliot's point of view, but he guessed that the city lord should be a little embarrassed at the moment because he had been told what he was thinking.

More than a hundred years ago, when creating this chain mail, Jesse had hesitated whether to wear chain mail or a magic sword.

Considering that there was a high chance that the Phantom Sword would fail, Jesse chose this chain mail at that time.

It stands to reason that even if you fail to build a weapon, you can start all over again, but in the process of building a phantom sword, there is a great possibility that you will lose most of the materials.

Because the Phantom Sword is so special.

It is said that there are only two phantom swords in the entire Knight Federation, one is Reinhardt's Frost Aria, and the other is the God of Slaughter with a longer history, and now both Phantom Swords are in the hands of the lion Patin.

More than 200 years ago, Eliot had the privilege of seeing the Frost Aria, and until now, remembering the scene at that time, Elliot could not suppress his yearning.

When Patin the lion slowly pulled the Frost Aria out of his scabbard, Elliot thought he was joking, and the Jesse City Lord and Barbarian Gort, who was present at the time, must have thought the same thing as Elliot.

Because they clearly saw that Patin had only a bare hilt in his hand.

It wasn't until he drew his entire sword that they knew they were wrong.

Starting more than a meter from the hilt, a seemingly nonexistent tip of the sword seemed to grow out of thin air.

Only then did Eliot notice that there was not nothing between the hilt and the tip of the sword, but a faint silvery-white shadow, like a thin layer of frost that appeared abruptly in the air.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, no one would have dared to believe that there would be such a magical weapon in this world.

In front of several spectators, Patin the Lion personally demonstrated the power of Frost's Lament. At this point, Elliot knew that the legend of the lament of frost was not made up, and that the true power of this phantom sword was in that faint layer of frost. In Patine's hands, almost any armor could stop that thin layer of frost.

Ever since that time, Jesse has been obsessed with the Phantom Sword.

However, the Elders warn Jesse that the Frost Lament was shown to him was actually a ruse by the lion Patine.

In the history of the Knights' Federation, there are at least dozens of records of forging phantom swords, but in these accounts, almost all attempts have failed. The process of failure was all the same: some of the Mystical Darkiron disconnected from the hilt of the sword in the illusion and disappeared into the illusion forever.

You must know that the Secret Realm Dark Iron is extremely precious, even a small piece is worth a lot of money, and if you lose so much Dark Iron at one time, it will be a huge blow to the entire city-state.

More than a hundred years ago, it was in this atmosphere that Jesse chose to make a piece of chain mail from the secret realm of Xuangang collected by the entire city-state for hundreds of years.
