"Have you ever heard of the Chikiri clan?"

Finn asked a simple rhetorical question, not only was he fascinated by the full-time arms trader, but he was surprised by the shopkeeper who knew the history of weapons quite well; Even Lin, the traverser, was equally surprised.

If there is one thing in common with the heroic legends, brave stories, and founding kings of the lost land, it must be the weapons they use, the magic weapons made by the Chikiri clan. Even some gods or demons use weapons from the Boxcuts. The name of the box can be traced back to the war between gods and demons before the birth of the old gods, as well as the battle for creation.

The word 'box cut' means that the weapon is so sharp that it can destroy the sheath or box of storage. The owner can only carry it in other ways, not store it.

It is rumored that the weapons of the Chikiri clan will choose their owners, and not everyone can hold them. This also reminded the shopkeeper, "In this case, the reason why the previous owners committed suicide was not because the weapons were cursed, but because they were not qualified to own the weapons of the Cachi clan?" ”

Lin asked: "The so-called rumored that it cannot be used by anyone other than the person who has been identified, isn't it the literal meaning, 'unusable'?" ”

"That's what I thought. But it is true that in the rumors, there is no mention of what kind of fate people who are not qualified enough to hold it. If it is a suicide, it can indeed be explained that it cannot be used by people who are not recognized. ”

For the two magicians who accidentally entered the door, and revealed the origin of this 'cursed' weapon, the shopkeeper was not greedy at all, but turned on the small talk mode and dealt with Lin. For him, goods that cannot be used have no value in buying and selling.

Although he can use the name 'Box Cut', he can sell the sword for a high price among certain special groups. But before, everyone was afraid to throw this trouble into their own hands. The families of those who commit suicide will only be grateful that they have helped them out of their trouble.

And those who are attracted by the name of 'Box' are either rich or noble. If such a person dies, this is the beginning of trouble. Maybe there's one in it that you can't afford to provoke.

Instead of looking for that kind of trouble, it is better to give away this 'good thing' according to the original conditions.

Contrary to the shopkeeper's thoughts, Lin was thinking about how to make weapons, so as to achieve the two conditions of 'selecting users' and 'excluding those who are not applicable'. He said to himself that he had imagined several possible methods, such as a conditional curse, at most, to make it impossible for people who did not meet the criteria to use the special abilities of a certain item or weapon, but there was no way to make the wielder 'kill himself'.

Weapons or props use the means of magicians to generate consciousness, although it is not a very difficult thing to do. Maybe that can be 'chosen', but how do you get an unqualified holder to commit suicide? It's like two completely unrelated topics, shoehorned together. And the means that someone else could have imagined were overthrown by himself one by one.

Someone who couldn't figure it out could only ask a certain lich in the end: "How do the people of the Chikiri clan be able to distinguish the qualifications of the holder?" If every weapon is made conscious, how is that done? ”

Fen was puzzled and said, "The people of the Chiche clan? Are you misunderstanding something? ”

"Misunderstanding? What do you mean? ”

Fen picked up the strange weapon on the table with both hands and said, "It's a member of the Chicri clan." ”

According to one of the lich's words, the Crate is not referring to the maker of the weapon, but to the weapon itself. So Lin pointed to this strange-shaped weapon in surprise and asked, "You mean to say that this weapon is actually a living thing?" ”

"Creatures? Well, you can describe it that way. After all, it can grow, it can recover when it is damaged, and it can change its appearance according to the owner's ideas, these are not things that ordinary artifacts can do. ”

This kind of secret news is undoubtedly quite shocking. However, Lin's acceptance was much higher than that of the owner of the weapons shop, and he quickly returned to his normal expression, after all, his own origin was also beyond the scope of common sense.

He took the box from Fen's hand and looked at it carefully. The touch on the hand is as cold as metal, without any of the biological characteristics of the earth and the general perception of living things.

But what about non-carbon-based organisms that are based on carbon-based life? What about AI? Can humans be so arrogant as to think that what humans define as living things can be considered life?

: Boy, what are you thinking about?

A 'voice' suddenly flashed through my mind. Lin immediately understood the content and looked at the box in his hand in dismay. Is this talking to itself?

: I'm not telling you, isn't it Ah Piao telling you? Hey, Ah Piao? Well, you actually have this interesting concept in your mind.

This thing can actually read its own heart! Someone's first thought, of course, is to kill people...... Destroy the sword and destroy the mouth. After all, he has too many secrets hidden in his heart.

: Do you want to destroy me, outsider? You can't do it. The only ones who can hurt me are my people. But don't worry so much, I'm not from the same place as you, but I'm not native to this world...... Creature. Just put it in your words. And I don't have unlimited snooping into your heart, only when those thoughts appear in your cerebral cortex, I will see them. It's as if your first reaction just now is not actually murder, it's just a sentence, 'I see a ghost'.

"So, when I walked into this store just now, I noticed you, but you were actually calling me?" Lin asked.

: Why should I call out to a human as weak as you? If it weren't for that demon king who broke my identity, I wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to you.

"You know her?"

: The calendar of this world, the demon king of a thousand years ago, Fen Ni Tikal. Of course I know her, especially since she has the help of many of my people against my other people. I was one of them at that time.

Someone turned to a certain lich and asked, "Have you ever gotten any other crates before?" ”

"Me? Yes, how do you know? Oh, you're probably talking to it. ”

"Well, it says it recognizes you. It's because you've gotten a lot of crates including it before, but you've fought hard with others and ruined a lot. ”

Fen looked nostalgic and said, "At that time, in order to fight against the guards of the old gods, I did collect a lot of them for my subordinates. This is also no way, the box cut is too hard, and there is no way to deal with it except with other box cuts. So, when it mentions this, is it going to settle accounts? I'd love to try it, but the chopper can't cut it. ”

: Hmph, there's no weapon I can't change. No matter what the ship slashing knife she was talking about, as long as it was the same shape, there was no possibility that our Box-cutting clan would fail.

Someone did not have any disgust with the big talk about the weapon in his hand, but excitedly imagined the image of his ideal weapon in his mind, and happily asked, "Is there a way for you to change that appearance?" ”

：…… No way......

"Tsk, that's bad. However, the GunBuster is only 250 meters tall, and it doesn't ask you to become an SDF-1_Macross with a total length of 1,210 meters. Is the Gundom between nine and eleven meters fine? What about VOTOMS, which is about three meters high? ”

：…… I'm sorry, but please think of some 'hand-held' weapons, okay?

"Phew! I thought I could skip the tech tree and get on the giant robot. Someone pouted disdainfully and said. The evaluation of the box in my heart has fallen below the passing line and hovers around the garbage score.

And a certain weapon, of course, is suspicious of the sword. How does the word 'weapon' define this man?

Disgusted, he put this legendary level weapon back on the table, and Lin asked Fen, "What are you going to do with this thing?" The sword alone has caused us a lot of trouble. Crate cut is a legendary weapon that even I know, and those big people who like to use good things to set off their identities won't come to us for trouble? ”

"The only person who can possibly reveal that we have this kind of thing is ......," Finn thought as she and someone set her sights on the owner of the weapons shop.

How could this person who is familiar with the world not understand the purpose of this look. He hurriedly raised his hand, made a surrender, and said, "His Majesty Tikal and Lord Tripwood have great reputations, how can I choose to trouble the two of them in a small shop. That kind of thing, I just listened to it, saw it for a long time, and then rotted in my stomach. Where do you dare to preach everywhere. ”

To do business, the first thing is the circulation of information. can run a weapons shop in the bustling river port city, and the owner is not a rookie who knows nothing but swords.

From the content of the two magicians' speeches and appearances, it was easy for him to judge the identities of the two. Especially the keyword, 'ship chopper' is the most frequently discussed topic recently. The relevant background is naturally familiar with it.

Now that you know the identity of the other party, you have a lot fewer options on how to deal with it. Especially bet that the other party is fake, and then find a way to keep the benefits of the box...... It's a gamble. And according to your own judgment, there is a good chance of losing.

Take 10,000 steps back and think, if the other party is really fake, what do you lose? It's nothing more than a cursed weapon in exchange for a few damba (copper coins). So the shopkeeper did not hesitate to make his own choice, this thing, as if he had never seen it. It is also in most of the more credible versions that these two are not murderous, and he can maintain this calm appearance, otherwise his legs would have been weak.

As for the attitude of the owner of the weapon shop, Fen did not continue to delve into it, because the other party was an inconsequential little person. On the contrary, it was someone's disgusting attitude that made her curious. Q: "Are you really not interested in this legendary weapon?" ”

"You also know that once I use flashing, everything good will have to be destroyed. If you don't want it, let it be left to someone who is destined for it. ”

:Feed! I'm so bad, what if no one does?

Even though the thing was out of his hand, the words of the box cut still came to someone's mind.

Fen pressed his index finger to his lips and said thoughtfully, "I remember hearing other Yaki say that they are from a higher level of the world, not the same as the Lost Land. That's what I heard at the time, and in retrospect, maybe they actually came from one of the higher dimensional worlds as we understand them. In this way, it may be able to resist high-dimensional pollution on its own, and it does not need additional protection. ”

With this reminder, Lin Meng shook the box cut in his hand again, and asked directly: "Can you really shuttle through the dimensional space without injury?" ”

: I don't know exactly what you mean by dimensional space. But if it's the kind of storm that has to do with the World Tree, then I shouldn't have a problem. Because in the first place, our group was brought from other worlds by the World Tree.

Someone's eyes lit up directly!
