XVI. Dusk, Chapter of the Sword
Early the next morning, in the ambiguous eyes of everyone, Liye and Inoli walked out of the bedroom together......
"Damn! I'm so sleepy!"
Li Ye stretched his waist, his face was sleepy, it was originally just an alchemy creation and it would not have such a big "side effect", but Li Ye just remembered something before going to bed - his personal space seemed to be full!
It's not that Liye can't take the initiative to open it, but because he is too weak to open his own space, Liye can only use the "key" sent by Hades to wait for the space to be opened at the end of charging, and it can only be used once, and the pickup is still random......
But after all, it's your own space, and if you have a strong will, you can still interfere to some extent, so Liye filled in all the available remaining spiritual power...... But the result...... It's not too impressive.
“...... For the first time, I regret how I didn't tidy up my space!"
After the meal, Li Ye sat in the carriage and let the mercenaries busy around, while he looked at the palm-sized broken stone slab in his hand with a headache. Yesterday, I only thought about "sword" and "sword", but it turned out that it was indeed related to "sword", but I couldn't use it! I want a weapon!
This stone slab as a whole is gray rectangular, dilapidated and old, full of cracks, and when you zoom in, it is simply a tombstone that has been deserted for an unknown amount of time! But despite its appearance, Liye knows that this thing is not simple at all! Even among the few abilities that he can't master at the peak, it is among the best!
After thinking for a while, Liye picked up the cloth and wiped it clean, although it was still worn, but the text on the tablet could be seen, it was a kind of text that could not be described in words, seeing it was like seeing the root of everything and the starting point of everything, if it was a slightly weaker person, I am afraid that he would be lost in this endless river and die in an instant, right? He'd seen it many times, and he's somewhat immune, and he has no desire to pursue the root of everything at all, and the only one who wants that kind of thing is the mage.
Liye stared at the words on the stele, which connected the concept of "the most root" or "origin point", and there was no such thing as not being able to understand it.
Moments later...... Liye's eyes reflected an indescribable "long river", but the strange thing is that this "river" has no beginning and no end, as if it suddenly entered a stillness at a certain moment, but this stillness gives people an inexplicable sense of dying in the twilight, if you use comparative imagery, it is......
"Dusk!" Liye raised his head and sighed, there was no abnormality in his eyes, "I didn't expect that one of the few pieces I hadn't seen before was actually in my space." ”
Li Ye looked at the stele and shook his head, and after a moment of thoughtfulness, he still sighed: "But it's a pity, I don't plan to go to the roots, leave it to someone who is destined." ”
It is impossible to say that it is impossible to leave the leaves and not move the heart, flowing from the "most root", even if "that existence" is extremely coveted, these stone tablets are divided into three groups of "world", "order" and "cognition", each group of four, respectively "dawn", "bathing light", "dusk" and "long night". Originally, there was a group called "Chaos", but in the end, due to its own chaos, it was thrown back to the "roots" by the travelers, and speaking of which, Liye has always been curious about how he did it......
If you want to say that the most popular at the time of leaving the leaves, it is the "Muguang" of the "World" group, although from the perspective of the power that can be obtained, it is undoubtedly "Dawn" is relatively powerful, followed by "Long Night", then "Muguang", and finally "Dusk". However, the auxiliary ability provided by "Muguang" is so powerful that people can't stop it, and even Liye has been moved for a long time before he refuses it with difficulty, and just one of them is enough to explain its value - creating something out of nothing! Through the part connected to the "most root" part, immortality is realized, and once it dies, it will be resurrected from the concept of "nothing" of the "most root", and a kind of conceptual immortality will be realized! Although this method was later targeted, this does not prevent one from recognizing its value.
"'Dusk' is probably ...... from this point of view Is it a 'weapon' or the ...... 'cognition' of the self? What I see is, well, this 'dusk, chapter of the sword', well, in the long run, it is better than the others, but why is it dusk?"
Li Ye waved the stele in his hand boredly as he spoke, and finally threw it into the carriage unceremoniously, if you want to say why you say that, in fact, "Dusk" is actually a very bad or simply "ominous" stele, just like its name - "Dusk". As long as you get something from here, it will more or less bring a little bit similar to the "twilight", "old age", "checkmate" and "lifeless" This indescribable feeling looks, think about a good person practicing all day long to reflect himself as if he is dying in the twilight, not to mention anything else, it should be psychologically uncomfortable, and this thing is the "most root" flowing out, very suggestive, and it is not for nothing that people practice suicide, you can imagine how wasteful this thing is.
Liye held his chin in his right hand, thinking about whether to find a place where no one was and throw it away and let it "choose the master" by itself, or take the safety point with him but have to seal it. Thinking about it, it's better to be safe, after all, a single explosion of this thing can destroy an entire world......
"Ahhh ”
Li Ye shrugged as he spoke, but he knew that the "Long Night" of "cognition" was definitely in his own space, and he didn't know anything else.
"Let's go back to eat first, let's talk about what this thing is going on, it's really not willing to give up...... Maybe you can use it as a brick?"
Saying that the wind horse and the cow were not related, Liye didn't care about the stone tablet and walked towards the mercenary union...... Anyway, whoever takes this thing will die, and whoever dares to take it will take it, and it's a big deal to recover it yourself in a few days, and it would be better if you could "keep" it for a longer time, and if it really destroys the world, there will be a group of people above to hold it......
Thinking very irresponsibly about the consequences of someone stealing this thing, Li Ye smiled unscrupulously.
"Yo, Rafa, come here!"
Coincidentally, I just wanted someone to lead the way.
"What's wrong, sir?"
"Your Excellency sounds weird, just your Excellency, do you know where there is a blacksmith shop? ”
"Hmm......" The mercenary leader pondered for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, he suddenly remembered something, "Ah! The blacksmith shops are actually pretty much the same, and the best thing to say is probably the 'iron and iron' there." ”
The name "......" was obtained......
"But I've heard such a rumor," Rafa suddenly smiled mysteriously, but unfortunately the bearded face couldn't see any beauty...... "Rumor, it's just a rumor, there is a blacksmith in this city who has reached the pinnacle of blacksmithing skills, but no one has seen him for a long time, it is said that the last time he appeared was seventy years ago, if it wasn't for the blowing, maybe he would have died, haha, by the way, you should have seen the giant sword in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, right?"
"Yes, I see. "Seriously, Liye only wanted to fight when he saw that sword. Maybe the sword was just a gorgeous ornament, just an ornament made of the most ordinary iron ore, and any lowest-level alchemy item could be ruined. However, from the awakening to the present, even so many historical facts and countless magic items have not made Liye so moved!
That sword, aside from the flashy decoration, the forging that has been tempered thousands of times, the countless quenching and rebirth, the repeated scraping and pondering, and finally the edge of the blade, all fascinated him deeply!
Someone in his hometown once said wildly, "It is fast and perfect to cast a sword with a machine, and it can also mass-produce a good sword." "Liye almost couldn't resist giving him a sword split! Casting a sword and casting a sword, what is a sword! Why can a sword casting become a technique! Why can a sword made by a machine be famous in all directions? Because sword casting is a dream and yearning forged by people pouring sweat and will! How many swordsmiths in ancient and modern times have sacrificed their lives and forgotten their lives to forge a good sword! How can this be achieved by a mere machine! A machine can only make it! Casting is a divine skill possessed by man!
That's right! Liye saw a kind of momentum on the sword with more decorative significance than practical significance, a kind of "famous sword" momentum! So even if the foundry master at that time was gone, as long as his descendants could inherit a one-and-a-half-style Liye was excited!
"I don't use a strong sword, even if it's the strongest sword! I only use a good sword, even if it's not the best sword!"
This was a criterion for Liye when he stepped on the path of the sword, and it was also the words he said disdainfully when facing the "Open Heaven" known as the first divine blade.
"So, the forger you're talking about is the swordsmith of that sword?"
"Well, swordsmith, that's right, it's rumored that he also said that this is the work that he was proud of all his life......! Stuff...... Bar...... Uh......"
Rafa was spitting at first, and the sycophants were too happy to be patted, but gradually, a chill crept up his spine from the tail vertebrae like a poisonous snake - it was Liye's angry and murderous gaze.
"If you don't understand, don't talk too much!" Li Ye scolded coldly, "I dare to say that if that sword is a 'work that does not enter the stream', then all the weapons in this world are rubbish!"
Among the people who Li Ye hated the most in his life, there was one kind of "person who vainly commented on the foundry". There are a lot of things that can be obtained from Liye, almost as long as there is involved, it will be more or less, but when it comes to what he is good at, he can puff up his chest and tell you: "Casting and kendo!"
Liye never adds things such as formations and dao patterns to build weapons, and from beginning to end, there is only "forging, forging, forging!" and simply reaching the realm above the Dao with the art of casting. That's what others say about him.
It is precisely because of this persistence that Liye does not allow himself to play a "bad sword", if he builds it in his current condition, even if the sword he plays will be an artifact, it will be useless, because there is no charm, just like a machine suppressed, it is a dead thing, so if he can't devote his efforts, Liye would rather not fight.
"There is no confusion in his sword," Li Ye walked on the road after leaving, he decided that if he couldn't find it, then, until he met the next "same person", he would not find someone to forge a sword, "He doesn't have to be a strong man, but he must be a master! I need to see him!"
Liye is not so much talking to himself as he is giving himself a goal, there is confusion in his sword, and it is because of this that he lost to "Wanqiong", and now he has to see through that confusion and break the magic barrier.
"Buzz ......"
"En?" Li Ye was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously pulled it into his arms, and a small stone tablet that should not have appeared here appeared in his hand, "'Dusk'?
Putting it in his arms, he strode forward from Yeda, the thoughts in his eyes disappeared, and in his place was the sharpness, confidence and pride of the "Emperor of the Sword"!
