House of Iron Tree Sparks.

I don't know how long it has been, at least the hill dwarves have no one to count the time, and their minds are all immersed in the figure wielding the hammer, including the most heroic and warlike king of the hill dwarves.

After all, the first lesson of the hill dwarves after they became sensible was blacksmithing.

Until, a knife, lying quietly on the forging table.

It does not have the bright color of the main material Glittering Silver Iron itself, nor does it have any special shapes or patterns, it looks like it is just a dark-colored, unsurprisingly unremarkable broadsword, let alone a dwarf, which can be made by a human blacksmith shop.

By the way, the size is also a bit problematic, it seems to be a little shorter, of course, this "short" is equivalent to humans.

Chen Rui's face showed a trace of exhaustion, the energy spent on forging this knife was far beyond his imagination, and it was far more than ordinary equipment, but his mood at the moment was unprecedentedly excited.

As a master of the three lineages, after going through various learning and cultivation (including the super system refining room linked by time rules), as well as the teachings of Tetenis, his weapon-making skills have reached a bottleneck stage, and I didn't expect that he actually got some kind of breakthrough insight in the underground forging shijie of this hill dwarf today.

Although this knife is unpretentious, it faintly reveals a spirituality that was not found in Chen Rui's previous works. This unique spirituality contains the unique perception and state of mind of the maker in a specific environment and moment.

This also determines the uniqueness of this knife, even if Chen Rui successfully forges a knife with the same appearance again, it will not have exactly the same attributes.

The most important thing is that weapons of this quality are no longer ordinary legendary!

"Your Highness Ovg, the wise ruler of the hill dwarves, I don't know, can this 'Soul Slayer' prove what I want to prove?" Chen Rui walked down the forging platform with the knife in his hand, and Elder Akas took a few steps forward, took it with both hands cautiously, and bent down. bowed his head to Chen Rui, showing a special respect.

Even if you don't look at the specific attributes of this knife, as a senior forging master, Elder Akas's etiquette can already say everything, and the dwarven craftsmen also bow their heads to Chen Rui. His eyes were fixed on the knife in Akas's hand. Full of fanaticism.

"Your Highness," Akas held the "Soul Slayer" in front of the King of Dwarves with both hands, "as a hill dwarf, as a forger." I've had the privilege of witnessing the creation of an epic piece of equipment. ”

Soul Slayer - Extra strong, increases swing liliang, doubles tear wounds, and has a chance to deliver double hits.

Additional attribute "Faith": The stronger the wielder's will, the more powerful it is, and it can deal additional damage to the enemy's soul.

Obviously, the quality of this Soul Slayer is already above the Legendary level, and it can be classified as epic. That is, the level of quasi-artifact and artifact, which also means that its maker has surpassed the realm of masters!

Or this knife is not as good as the quasi-artifact produced by the super system of Beiming and Lei Yin, but it is completely made by Chen Rui himself, the first epic piece of equipment, which is of great significance.

"Epic...... It's also my pleasure. The king of the dwarves looked at the seemingly ordinary broadsword, revealing a solemn expression, and bowed his head slightly to Chen Rui: "From the perspective of actual value. None of those pieces of equipment, plus that blueprint, could compare to this epic weapon. More importantly, I shouldn't question a forger who is already at least a quasi-grandmaster, please accept my apologies and rudeness, Your Excellency. ”

Chen Rui smiled slightly: "It's okay. It was a misunderstanding. My real name is Chen Rui, and I'm not a quasi-grandmaster, but I just felt the inspiration of the 'House of Iron Tree Sparks' to create this equipment. Speaking of which, I just found a subtle feeling that I might break through the master. Wish...... His Highness Ovge can accept my gift of kindness. ”

The real name of "Chen Rui" is unknown on the ground. So he didn't hide it, and this tone was even more frank.

Ovge's eyes lit up. Lovingly, he stroked the "Soul Slayer" and said happily, "I accept your kindness and gifts, and at the same time I will hold a feast in the royal palace for three days to entertain the human friends of the dwarves of the hills. ”

Chen Rui shook his head: "I appreciate His Highness's kindness, but I have a very urgent matter to rush to Garden City this time, so I will choose the shortcut of Black Rock Mountain, I only hope to get His Highness's permission to reach the destination as soon as possible." When I'm done, I'll come with the best wine and have a drink with my hill dwarf friends!"

The Dwarven King smiled heartily and was about to agree, when Elder Arcas stepped forward and whispered a few words.

Ovge frowned, seeming to hesitate, before finally speaking, "Human friend of the hill dwarves, there is one thing I would like to ask you about, and it is about this theft. In fact, the stolen equipment this time was nothing, but the blueprint was not trivial, it was a relic of the late Forge Grandmaster of the Hill Dwarves, Lord Rick, and it was of great significance to the dwarves. I'd like to ask you to help me keep an eye out for clues in the human shijie. ”

Chen Rui groaned for a moment and agreed: "Okay, tell me the characteristics of the drawings, and I will definitely try my best to investigate this matter and strive to return the object to its original owner as soon as possible." ”

Offge nodded, took out a badge and handed it to Chen Rui: "That drawing is actually the result of joint research between Grandmaster Rick and Fei Noya, the elven clan grandmaster of the Jade Forest, and it seems to be part of some kind of design. During the reign of the first king, the envoy of the elves had specially mentioned this matter, and wanted to get this drawing, but for various considerations, the first king did not agree at that time, resulting in a bad relationship between the dwarves of the hills and the elves. If you can retrieve the blueprints and don't have to return the hill dwarves, you can enter the Emerald Forest with this green badge and give the blueprints to Grandmaster Fenoa, passing on the friendship of the hill dwarves on my behalf, and I believe you will also get an additional reward from Grandmaster Fenoa. ”

In addition to recovering the blueprints, he also has to make a cameo appearance as a diplomatic envoy?The King of the Dwarves is not polite at all, but the elven clan's Weapon Maker Grandmaster Chen Rui is a little interested, because his teacher Tetenis will have a life-and-death battle with a grandmaster-level opponent in less than a year, which can be described as a fierce and auspicious. If Chen Rui can get the guidance of the grandmaster level and convey it to Tetenis, it may greatly increase the teacher's hope of survival. So if conditions permit, you might as well take a trip to the Emerald Forest. Of course, the first thing to do is to recover that drawing.

"Okay, I remember. Chen Rui took the leaf-shaped badge with a faint natural aura, "By the way, those mercenaries outside don't know my real name and skills. I also ask His Highness to keep it a secret. ”

Offge nodded without hesitation: "Don't worry, I can guarantee that the hill dwarves will not reveal any secrets related to human friend Chen Rui." I'll personally see you off Black Rock Mountain, and I'm looking forward to the day when I can reunite with my friends. ”

The turmoil of the hill dwarves has finally subsided. To avoid the suspicion of fat people and others. Chen Rui declined the kindness of Oufuge's personal escort, and after a short rest, he went on the road with everyone, due to the time of forging. When I left Houtu Castle, it was already noon the next day.

Although the King of the Dwarves did not send them off in person, he still sent an army of Great Shield Warriors to escort them in the name of surveillance, and after a day and a night, they sent everyone out of the Black Rock Mountain area.

Looking down from the hillside, through the mist of the morning light. The road leading to Garden City could already be seen, and there were vague figures of people and horses, and everyone's faces showed joy. Even Chen Rui is no exception.

This time, not only did he pass through Black Rock Mountain safely, but his artifact realm also made a new breakthrough by chance, which can be regarded as an unexpected gain.

If the strength of the hill dwarves is only to the extent that it is currently seen on the surface, then it is not impossible for Chen Rui to forcibly break through the Houtu Castle with Liliang, but he went to Garden City this time to use Mana's Jihua to steal the power of faith and blend into the White Cliff of the Church of Light to obtain the Snow Darai Flower. If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and in order to save Isabella's plan, you must not easily expose your liliang.

The green badge given by Ofge also reminded Chen Rui that if he didn't have time to save up the "travel expenses" of one million faith crystals, he could consider using Samuel's method to go to the Demon Realm. Find a master of the elves, open the space at a high cost, randomly appear somewhere in the Demon Realm, and return to Isabella through the Starry Sky Gate.

Merely. This method is quite risky once falling into the turbulence of space. It's just broken bones, and you can't try it lightly until you have to. What's more, since the Dark Elemental Monarch is trapped in the Tower of Destruction at the bottom of the sea, in terms of time, it is only too late to find Hegel to save Isabella, so even if he opens the space and risks returning to the Demon Realm, he still has to go to the Holy Mountain of Light to get the Snow Dalai Flower first.

"Finally out of the surveillance of the dwarven army, those fierce dwarves, I didn't dare to say a word for a day and a night, and now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief, my dearest friend Richard, how did you persuade those stubborn dwarves?" The fat man's voice interrupted Chen Rui's thoughts, and at this time everyone had already walked on the avenue, according to Ina, it would take about two hours to reach Garden City.

Chen Rui looked at the mercenaries who were also looking at him with curiosity, and smiled slightly: "That's the case, I exerted the powerful strength that I have been hiding all along, forged an epic weapon, and subdued the king of dwarves, so he let us go and sent someone to escort us here." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the eyes around him were cast with contempt, and even his die-hard follower Samuel showed a look of disbelief, Chen Rui sighed, weishenme The truth is always so unrecognized?

"Okay, in fact, the method is very simple, let me ask you, a person who is richer than the owner, could it be a thief?" Chen Rui smiled bitterly: "I just took out something that could prove my identity and wealth, and then paid the price to satisfy those dwarves, so we can leave Black Rock Mountain safely." However, just in case, the king of the dwarves sent an army to monitor ......"

"Prove your identity and wealth?" Ina looked at her with suspicion, "Are you sure you have nothing to do with this theft?"

Chen Rui's tone changed, and he said coldly: "A woman's suspicion should not be put in this regard! What's more, it was your proposal to take the route of Black Rock Mountain, didn't that blackbearded dwarf say it? Your father is a thief! I haven't suspected you cowardly and incompetent guys!"

This sentence immediately aroused the indignation of the mercenaries, especially Samuel, who was full of murderous anger: "Do you say it again? Who is the cowardly and incompetent guy?

"Am I wrong?" Chen Rui sneered contemptuously, and looked directly at Samuel without hesitation, "As an employer, I have no obligation to explain to you, let alone daoqian! I want to question you Iron Shield Mercenary Group now, counting the time of the poisonous snake, I saved you for the second time, do you protect me, or do I protect you? I don't think my friend Mana needs to pay you double the honorarium and compensation!"

Samuel's gaze became more and more aggressive, and he was about to have a seizure, but he was stopped by Ina. The female leader obviously suppressed her anger and said to Chen Rui: "As a reputable mercenary group, we have not given up protection in the most dangerous situation, and there have been casualties. As for the salary, it was promised to us by Lord Mana himself, and now that we are about to arrive safely in Garden City, how can we temporarily regret it?"

The fat man wished to save more money, so he immediately jumped out and said: "I did promise ten times the salary and compensation for casualties, but Richard was right, this time Heiyan Mountain relied on him to get out of danger, and I don't know how much economic loss he suffered, as a mercenary to protect his employer, why do you want ten times the salary and compensation? This matter, even if it makes trouble with the mercenary union, I can justify it!"

The mercenaries showed their anger one after another, and they were about to turn their faces, but Zuihou was still a fat man, thinking that the Dagger Brotherhood was likely to have another assassination, and promised to pay Ina double commission and a certain amount of compensation, so he reluctantly calmed down the matter.

Looking at Chen Rui's back walking in front, Samuel's clenched fist trembled slightly, and Ina comforted her a few words, seeing that his excitement had eased, she gave up.

In fact, the female leader did not know the real reason for Samuel's anger and agitation.

The conflict just now was a play in which he and His Highness colluded with Haode.

Although the "Highness" did not explain it, but only asked him to carry it out in the tone of an order, Samuel could guess that the "Highness" was going to accomplish a very dangerous thing alone, so it was necessary to dissociate himself from him so as not to be involved.

And as a subordinate, as a follower of the service, he can only watch, and the only thing he can do is to stay out of the matter and avoid becoming a burden.

We must become stronger as soon as possible! For Joyna!

The Silver Knight took a deep breath, his eyes growing more determined.
