87 The old man's advice
The president sent Xue Yi and the others to the gate and said, "Elder Xue will come to the Dragon Medical Association when he has time, and the door of our Dragon Medical Association will be open for you at any time." ”
Xue Yi nodded lazily: "Yes." As he spoke, he walked down the street with Ding Li and Wu Yingzi.
After seeing Xue Yi and the others leave, the chairman said to himself with a smile on his face that could not be concealed: "With this kid, it is only a matter of time before the Yanlong Empire Dragon Medical Association rises in the Holy Dragon Continent......" As he spoke, he slowly turned around and walked upstairs.
In the empty hall, only the stunned waiters remained.
Originally, he was already surprised to see that the president personally sent Xue Yi and the others down, but at this time, he was shocked by the three words of the president, "Elder Xue", and his eyes almost fell out.
Elder Xue?What's the situation?He's an elder?Just kidding?He's a kid who hasn't even grown his hair, I'm afraid he can't even reach the level of a third-level dragon doctor, how can he be an elder of the Dragon Doctor Association? The president isn't old and confused, isn't he? But looking at the president's appearance, before leaving, he also said something inexplicable, "With this kid, it's only a matter of time before the Yanlong Empire's Dragon Doctor Association rises in the Holy Dragon Continent", obviously he attaches great importance to that kid, is that kid really an elder?
Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on the waiter's back.
Fortunately, he didn't say anything to ridicule him just now, otherwise he wouldn't know how he died. The crime of colliding with the elders is not something that a little attendant can afford.
But even so, the waiter was still afraid.
When Elder Xue and the others first entered the association just now, his attitude towards Xue Yi was not very good. If Elder Xue was to blame, wouldn't he be a matter of leaving in minutes?
......
Ding Li and Wu Yingzi, who were walking on the street, were equally shocked.
Ding Li made a look like you kid is **, and said: "Brother, don't be so good, the dragon knight has cultivated ** to the point of defying the sky, and now he has come to the Dragon Medical Association, and he is also rebellious like this." In less than two hours after he came, he actually became an elder of the Dragon Medical Association, how can you make those sixty or seventy-year-old old guys embarrassed. ”
"Is it that exaggerated?" Xue Yi said with a smile.
"Yes, of course!" Wu Yingzi sneered, "It's even more exaggerated than that." I have said a long time ago that Brother Xue wants to overturn the whole world, which naturally includes the dragon medical world. Follow Xue Yi, don't worry about no road, I have chosen the right path. But then again, Brother Xue, you have transformed from a wild dragon doctor to an elder of the Dragon Medical Association in two hours, which really makes those old guys who have worked hard all their lives to upgrade to the next level so angry that they vomit blood. I'm scared to pee. ”
Xue Yi was speechless and said, "Can you two stop being poor." ”
As he spoke, he turned towards a fork in the road.
Ding Li saw Xue Yi turn around, followed from behind and asked, "Why don't you go back to the academy?"
Wu Yingzi smiled and said, "Follow Brother Xue, don't worry about no road." Why do you ask so much? Just go. ”
Ding Li glared at Wu Yingzi fiercely, but was directly ignored by Wu Yingzi.
Xue Yi explained with a wry smile: "Go to the weapon shop to see if my handguards have been repaired." ”
......
Half an hour later, the three of them had arrived at the door of the weapons shop.
Wu Yingzi couldn't help frowning when he saw that this weapon shop was so unclean, small and messy. But when he saw Xue Yi and Ding Li both walking in, he immediately followed Xue Yi into it without hesitation, and muttered: "Follow Brother Xue, don't worry about no road." ”
When I walked into the shop, I heard the sound of Ding Ding Dangdang. Following the sound into the backyard, I saw the old blacksmith busy by the red fire. His thin body was draped over a wide garment, which looked extremely out of place. Ding Li even doubted that such a thin old man could move a hammer?
But the reality is that the old man is holding a huge hammer with a diameter of more than a foot, and is knocking on the cutting board on the spot.
With each hammer drop, sparks splashed and the ground shook beneath their feet.
Ding Li and Wu Yingzi were surprised by this scene. Ordinary blacksmiths don't have such arm strength at all, and if they can shake the ground, how much strength does it take. Even the dragon knight is nothing more than that.
Xue Yi knew that this old man was not an ordinary blacksmith, so he was naturally not so surprised.
Asked the old man loudly: "Boss, how many of my handguards have been repaired?"
The old man didn't look back, and said in a voice that was so old that he was almost dying, "Less than one percent." That's what I knocked. ”
Xue Yi looked at the chopping board and could vaguely see the shape of the gauntlet. Seeing the old man's face flushed, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, shining like diamonds in the firelight, he suddenly felt a trace of gratitude in his heart.
The two didn't know, but he did, the old man was a dragon knight. It stands to reason that the dragon knight should be easy to pick up such a sledgehammer. But the old man looked a little tired. This shows how much energy the old man put into repairing his handguards. And now it has been repaired less than one percent, which means that for a long time in the future, the old man will help him repair his handguards in this state.
The two of them have never known each other, but the old man treats himself like this, how can this make Xue Yi not grateful.
Of course, Xue Yi only believed the old man after being probed by the soul of the skeleton dragon. Otherwise, if someone rashly helped him like this, he really had to wonder if that person was planning to do something wrong.
However, this made Xue Yi even more puzzled, he didn't accept a penny for giving away the giant sword at the beginning, and now he is so painstakingly repairing his handguards, what is this old man for?
Since he couldn't figure it out, Xue Yi simply didn't want to.
In his mind, everything except about the dragon was. As long as the old man doesn't harm himself, everything else is casual, let it go, and love it.
The old man's deathly old voice continued: "Your gauntlet is made of a dragon scale armor that is several times harder than Vajra Essence. The material alone is extremely rare, and it took me four days to find such a small amount, which is only enough to repair one percent. When this material is used up, I have to look for it again. And I had to add some parts to it to make it more powerful, so I couldn't finish it in two months. ”
"How long will that take?" asked Ding Li.
"At least...... Half a year. The old man still didn't look back, and said as he tinkled the iron.
"Half a year?" Xue Yi was a little surprised, but he wasn't in a hurry, "Then I'll wait for half a year." Oh, by the way, the dragontooth weapon hasn't been built yet, right?"
The old man's old voice said, "I asked a friend to make it, and I have already completed a dragon spear, and four daggers have also been completed." Only the hidden weapon and the other three dragon spears are not finished. ”
Xue Yi nodded, took out a few dragon crystals from his pocket, and said, "Old man, I know that the energy you spent on repairing your handguards is far from being replaced by these dragon crystals. But you just take it first, and I'll be rewarded when the repair is complete. ”
Ding Li and Wu Yingzi saw that the corners of their eyes jumped slightly.
Ding Li is a child of a rich family, and since he was a child, he has always been clothed to reach out for food and open his mouth, but he has never seen a few dragon crystals like this. You must know that this is only equivalent to a deposit, if the restoration is completed, how can it not be a dozen or even dozens of dragon crystals? That is almost equivalent to half a lifetime of income for ordinary people.
Thinking of this, Ding Li squinted at Xue Yi: "Tuhao, let's be brothers." ”
Not to mention Wu Yingzi, both eyes flashed with stars: "I admire more and more my wise move with Brother Dingxue." Brother Xue, you are my lucky star. ”
The old man laughed dryly, and said in an old voice: "If my old man wants money, with my skills, I can do some work casually, and I can't spend it all in my life." It's you, the road of the dragon knight will still be long in the future, and there will be more places to spend money, so keep it for yourself. ”
Xue Yi is not like ordinary people who will push around. Since the old man didn't want it, he kept it for himself. However, he still opened his mouth and said to the old man: "Old man, my name is Xue Yi, please feel free to open up if you have any useful places in the future." ”
The old man ignored Xue Yi anymore and continued to bury his head in the iron.
Ding, ding, ding, the sound echoed in the small courtyard.
Ding Li and Wu Yingzi couldn't feel it, but Xue Yi seemed to hear something mysterious. But what it was, he couldn't figure out for a while.
The old man ignored the three of them, and the three of them were bored, so he turned and walked out of the courtyard.
At this time, in the sound of tinkling and ding, it was mixed with the old man's old voice: "Xue Yi, you have time to try to learn archery." ”
Xue Yi paused and turned his head: "Archery?"
The old man stopped talking, and continued to tinkle the materials.
Xue Yi was puzzled, and at the same time walked out of the courtyard with Ding Li and Wu Yingzi.
"Why did you let me learn archery?" Xue Yi seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be asking the two people next to him.
Ding Li smiled: "Don't listen to that old man's nonsense, I just see that he is abnormal, and he works hard to repair the weapon but does not want to take revenge, it is obviously a bad intention." Moreover, even if the arrows could keep up with our speed, the dragon knights were wearing heavy armor, and the dragons were so scaly that the bows and arrows could not be shot in. Isn't it a waste of time for you to let my brother learn archery?"
Wu Yingzi said with a smile: "As long as Brother Xue wants to learn, it will only take a few days to be absolutely master-level, and there is no such thing as wasting time." Brother Xue, do you want to learn?"
Xue Yi thought about it, but he couldn't figure out why the old man wanted him to learn archery, so he simply shook his head: "Don't learn it for the time being, let's see it later." ”
......
The three of them returned to the academy, Wu Yingzi went back to his dormitory, and Xue Yi and Ding Li returned to the dormitory on the fifth floor.
After Ding Li ate some snacks, he lay down on the bed, and within two minutes, the sound of snoring came out.
Xue Yi continued to cultivate.
In fact, the cultivation of the dragon knight was very simple at the beginning, and there were no exercises or anything like that, just absorbing enough dragon power, and using this dragon power to run along the meridians over and over again, to expand the meridians, transform the body, and strengthen the physique, so that the body can accommodate more dragon power.
After practicing for more than two hours, Xue Yi withdrew from his cultivation state, closed his eyes, and thought to himself.
It's still too slow to cultivate like this. Although he is now a fourth-level dragoon, this speed is already very fast compared to ordinary dragon knights. But after reaching the fourth level, he could clearly feel that his cultivation progress had slowed down a lot. Even though he cultivated very hard, his speed was still far from keeping up with the plan. His plan was to cultivate to the tenth level of Dragoon during the summer vacation next year, and then set off for Thunder Valley. However, with the current cultivation method, it is estimated that by next summer, it will not be able to reach level ten dragon riders at all, and at most it will only reach level seven. And if the level is too low and you forcibly go to Thunder Valley, the danger will naturally be much greater.
"It seems that we have to find a way to quickly level up. ”
In the dark, Xue Yi muttered to himself.
