After leaving the 'Dragon Mound', Shi Xuanyu returned to the Swordsmith City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Although he already knew the secret of Yuesha Castle, the source of the sword casting materials had not yet been found, and Shi Xuanyu planned to stay here to investigate.
Every day, Shi Xuanyu would receive a large number of knife casting materials from the black-robed old man, and the number of knife-making casts also made the black-robed old man very satisfied, and gradually, the black-robed old man became more and more appreciative of Shi Xuanyu's place. Although in his eyes, Shi Xuanyu's success rate of forging knives is much lower than that of ordinary people, but Shi Xuanyu is "diligent" enough, and not only completes the prescribed number every day, but also often exceeds. This made him value Shi Xuanyu more and more, and in his free time, he even instructed Shi Xuanyu on the skills of forging knives for free.
While Shi Xuanyu received the attention of the black-robed old man, he also began to ask about the source of the casting knife material, and soon got the answer from the black-robed old man.
"The materials used to cast the knives come from the surrounding towns. ā
"There are two kinds of towns in the Red Sand Desert, one is an ordinary town and one is a material town, usually the major castles don't care too much about ordinary towns, but they attach great importance to material towns, and it is common to go to war for material towns. ā
"In terms of numbers, material towns are less than ordinary towns, and material towns are formed after sandstorms. ā
"Every once in a while, there will be a sandstorm in the desert of red sand, every sandstorm is a disaster, if you want to survive under the sandstorm, you can only enter the eight castles, in the desert of red sand, only the eight castles can be under the ravages of the sandstorm, intact. ā
"Every time a sandstorm comes, we at Moonsand Castle will open the gates of the castle and let the residents of nearby towns take refuge in the castle. However, some castles did not save themselves, and when the sandstorm broke out, they were unwilling to open the city gates, allowing the inhabitants outside to die tragically. If you can't enter the Eight Great Castles, even a sixth-tier sword walker won't be able to survive the sandstorm, and every time the sandstorm comes, many, many people will die. ā
"And after the sandstorm, all towns will change, and some towns = for some unknown reason, a large number of knife casting materials will appear after the sandstorm, and before the next sandstorm, these materials will be inexhaustible, this kind of town, is the material town. ā
"Material towns are not fixed, and they change after every sandstorm. Today's material towns may become normal towns after the next sandstorm, and ordinary towns may also become material towns next time. ā
"So after every sandstorm, our eight castles will fight for material towns. Today, our Moonsand Castle controls six material towns. These six material towns are enough to support our entire Moon Sand Castle. ā
After listening to the explanation of the black-robed old man, Shi Xuanyu suddenly realized.
It turns out that the towns in the desert of red sand are divided into ordinary towns and material towns, like the eleven towns occupied by Shi Xuanyu are all just ordinary towns, although ordinary towns also have knife casting materials, but the knife casting materials of ordinary towns are less than one ten-thousandth of the material towns. Before Shi Xuanyu occupied those eleven towns, Yuesha Castle didn't care about those eleven towns at all, and they were dispensable.
Now after knowing this, Shi Xuanyu couldn't help but have a good impression of Yuesha Castle. After all, when a sandstorm breaks out, Moonsand Castle will choose to open the city gates to allow the residents of nearby towns to take refuge in the castle, which is much better than those who are unwilling to open the city gates.
This also made Shi Xuanyu's heart waver.
Originally, Shi Xuanyu planned to attack the Moon Sand Castle, but since entering the Moon Sand Castle, whether it was contact with the black-robed old man or the contact with the other sword forgers in the Moon Sand Castle, Shi Xuanyu could feel that the people here were not cold and ruthless. Although they are arrogant, they do not kill indiscriminately, and although they are conceited, they are not ruthless. They will not turn a blind eye to the inhabitants outside, and they will open the gates for the inhabitants outside when the sandstorm comes.
Among the many forces in the chaotic Western Regions, there are too few and too few forces like the Moonsand Castle......
After all, there is no order in the entire chaotic Western Regions, there are no rules, there is too much indifference, too much fighting, too much darkness here.
Shi Xuanyu wanted to rule the Chaotic Western Regions, on the one hand, to gain the trust of the residents, and on the other hand, he also wanted to make the Chaotic Western Regions no longer chaotic and dark.
"Which castles are usually reluctant to open their gates?" Shi Xuanyu asked.
"Except for our Condensing Sword Sect, the Nasha Sect and the six major territories are extremely selfish forces, especially the Nasha Sect. It is said that the Sand Sect is fully capable of mitigating the damage caused by the sandstorm to the Red Sand Desert, but they have allowed it to wreak havoc. The black-robed old man said angrily. "An extremely selfish force like them doesn't deserve to own the castle at all. It's a pity that Shazong is the local force of this Red Sand Desert, although they only have one castle, but if there is a full-scale war, our Condensing Sword Sect is not absolutely sure that they will be able to annihilate them. And those six territories are from the Eastern Regions of the War Sword, and their combat power is strong, and they are not something we can easily shake. Our Condensing Knife Sect has the strongest power on the surface of this Red Sand Desert, but it is actually because of the identity and status of the first sword caster in charge, not because of our strength in the Red Sand Desert. On the contrary, the strength of our Condensing Sword Sect in the Red Sand Desert is not as good as that of the Sand Sect and the Six Great Territories. ā
Shi Xuanyu nodded.
The Knife Forge has a higher status than the Sword Walker, after all, the Sword Walker starts from the first level, and each stage of promotion requires the help of the Sword Caster, and the Sword Walker alone cannot improve the War Knife, so the status of the Sword Forge has always been higher than that of the Sword Walker.
As the undisputed strongest sword-casting sect in the secret realm of the sword department, the Condensing Sword Gate not only has a supreme position in the Middle Domain of Sword Casting, but also in the Eastern Domain of the War Knife and in the Chaotic Western Domain, there is no sin condensing knife sect that any force is willing to do.
The head of the Condensing Sword Sect is even regarded as the first person in the secret realm of the Sword Division! Even the six major lords of the Eastern Domain of the War Sword are polite and respectful in front of the head of the Condensing Sword Sect. In this desert of red sand, even if the strength of the six major territories and the Sand Sect was stronger than that of the Condensing Sword Gate, they were all willing to succumb to the Condensing Sword Gate.
"Shazong and the six major territories are not qualified to occupy the castle. A cold light flashed in Shi Xuanyu's eyes.
He could not tolerate such an extremely selfish force occupying the castle, after all, these eight castles were the only buildings that could survive the sandstorm, and no matter how much these forces fought, when the sandstorm broke out, innocent people outside should be allowed to take refuge in the castle.
Even if this sand sect has the ability to weaken the sandstorm, it will not weaken, and let the sandstorm rage.
Shi Xuanyu has already made a decision, give up attacking the Moon Sand Castle, and take this Sand Sect and the six major territories first!
These two tumors must be removed!
"To capture the castles of these two forces, I need to forge some more knives, and I myself must have at least a fifth-tier battle knife here!" Now that Shi Xuanyu has known the source of the casting materials of the Moon Sand Castle, he no longer worries about the lack of materials, with Shi Xuanyu's strength, he can go to various material towns at will.
"I may not be sure that the sixth-level battle knife will be able to be successfully forged, but the fifth-level battle knife, I am eighty percent sure! As long as I have the five-level war knife here, and then cast some four-level and three-level war knives for others, it will not be difficult to capture the castles of those two forces!"
