Volume 1 The Tale of the Blacksmith Chapter 58 The Holy Sword

After this incident, the people have learned the basic cooking methods, even if they are not proficient, but at least there will not be an embarrassing situation of starving to death guarding the ingredients.

The emir was also satisfied, and he finally solved the first problem for the town, which was on the verge of destruction.

At dusk, on the way back to the mansion, Ophelia suddenly stopped him.

The emir immediately understood, and then said to Rena, who was traveling with him.

"Well, I still have some things, you can go back by yourself first."

"Oh, what about your dinner?" "Well," said Rena, worriedly, "tell me when I'll be back, and I'll prepare a hot meal for you and Miss Ophelia in advance." ”

"It's okay, we'll be back soon." Ophelia said with a wave of her hand.

"Yes, in fact, it doesn't have to be so troublesome, you can eat dinner first, and you can leave us some when the time comes." The emir nodded.

"Ahhh......h

On the one hand, she is just a maid, how can she eat before her master? And what to say to leave a little for the host and guests, that is too unusual.

On the other hand, she knew that Emir was a very good person, so naturally she would not care about these things, so she did not want to refuse Emir's proposal.

At this embarrassing moment, a red light actually appeared around them, and Emir looked at it for a long time before realizing that it was coming from his ring.

Ophelia wasn't surprised, though.

"Hehe, it looks like the time is up."

"Huh? What time? The emir wondered.

"Don't ask, let's go to the weapons workshop," Ophelia took Emir's hand and turned back to Rena, "Don't be embarrassed, do what you have to do." ”

"Oh, oh." Rena casually agreed, and watched them walk away.

Seeing that Emir and Ophelia seemed to have a good relationship, for some reason, she felt a little restless in her heart.

A few minutes later, the two came to the ruins of the weapons workshop.

In fact, seeing Ophelia pull him over, Emir already roughly understood what was going on, and with the ring coming out of red light without permission, he knew that Lilith was about to wake up.

But what is going on with such a big movement? I didn't do that when I summoned Lilith before.

At this time, Ophelia was well aware of his doubts and turned back to speak.

"It's because of the blood of the elves, which can not only heal, but also greatly enhance the magic power."

"Oh?"

Ophelia saw that he was still at a loss, so she continued to explain.

"You don't know, no matter how much damage you receive, you can save it with the blood of the elves, and as for strengthening the magic power, it can even allow ordinary people who have no talent to gain magic power."

Only then did the emir realize that his previous thoughts were still too conservative, Ophelia's blood was stronger than a panacea, but he couldn't help but think of another thing.

"In that case, then Sain and Daniel ......"

The emir wanted to say why Ophelia didn't save them at that time.

"I'm ......" Ophelia bowed her head guiltily as she heard him mention it, "I'm sorry, I really couldn't get back at that time, because they had lost their vital signs." ”

Seeing her like this, Emir suddenly reacted to how excessive her thoughts were, first of all, Ophelia was not obliged to save people with her own blood, and secondly, no matter how powerful the medicine was, it was impossible to bring people back from the dead.

Therefore, at this time, it is he who should feel guilty, because he said something that is difficult for a strong man.

Ophelia didn't care, though, and she said later.

"Elven blood doesn't have more than just these two functions, I heard Lydia say, that dragon ...... Oh, it's Lilith, she seems to have a natural flaw, but as far as I know, dragons are one of the most perfect creatures in the land, and there can be no flawed individuals among them, so the most likely is that they are cursed, and the most famous effect of elven blood is that it can break all curses. ”

"This ...... Is it so powerful? The emir was amazed.

"That's right, but because the effect of the elven blood is too strong, ordinary creatures can't bear it at all, it's not so much that Lilith fell into a deep sleep, it's better to say that she fainted, fortunately her body is strong enough to wake up in three days, as for the witch named Margaret, I don't know, it may take more than a week."

"I see," the emile nodded, "that Lilith is a sign of awakening." ”

"Well, you can let her out, or your ring might be scrapped." Ophelia kindly reminded.

The emir hastened to do so, and he unleashed the magic in the ring, and a large figure appeared in front of the two of them.

This time, instead of falling into a deep slumber as before, Lilith stood tall with her head held high, her wings fully extended, as if to breathe fire into the sky.

After realizing that she was coming out, Lilith turned her head to look at Emir, and the moment she looked at each other, she directly scared Emir.

Because Lilith's eyes turned red and glowed at the same time, it looked like she had fallen into madness.

"Ah, it's you, Emir, don't come unharmed." Lilith said in a cute girlish voice.

The emir was stunned for a moment, but also came back to his senses, and said with a concerned face.

“…… Well, you've recovered from your injuries, right? ”

"It should be, but I don't know why, I always feel like I'm full of power, Emir, have you done anything?"

As Lilith spoke, flapping her wings, a gust of wind was stirring up in an instant, and the Emir hurriedly covered her eyes so that they would not be dusted.

"I didn't ...... Nothing, just let this knight save you with the blood of the elves. He grudgingly answered Lilith's question.

"Oh? Thank you, Sister Knight. Lilith folded her wings and said excitedly.

Emile wondered how Ophelia knew that she was wearing a helmet.

Ophelia also seemed strange, so she asked.

"How do you know I'm a woman?"

"Hehe, maybe it's the blood of the elves, my magic perception is stronger, and I can even judge the gender," Lilith said, looking at the sky, "Wait, how do you feel that the wings are a lot easier, could it be that I can fly now?" ”

"Well, you can try it." The emir proposed.

He knew that Lilith had suffered a lot because of her own shortcomings, and he would be glad if she could really fly to the sky under the influence of the blood of the elves.

Sure enough, in the next second, Lilith began to flutter her wings constantly, and the frequency became faster and faster, and the emir on the side was even a little unstable, but fortunately Ophelia grabbed his hand.

However, as soon as Emir stood still, he felt a huge figure rise into the air, and then his vision widened as Lilith disappeared from him.

He raised his head and found that the dragon's figure was getting smaller and smaller, and finally became a small dot, and it seemed to really fly up to a height of 10,000 meters.

He couldn't help but think that Lilith should just leave, but if she did, she would never be bound by humans again.

After a while, the ground where he was standing suddenly glowed, and then Lilith's figure appeared from the light.

"It's ...... Teleportation magic? ”

"Hehe, of course, how do you think I got out of the ring without permission?" Lilith looked proud.

"Well, that's fine, we'll be bothered if you leave." Ophelia said leisurely.

"Ah yes, I almost forgot the most important thing," said the emir, patting her head, "We still need Lilith's dragon breath." ”

"Hmph, Emir, what do you need me for? Just say it. ”

Maybe she was finally able to soar through the sky like the other dragons, and Lilith even became cheerful in her tone.

"Well, we need to forge a holy sword." Emir said seriously.

……

Now, everything is ready to go.

The thought of being able to obtain a weapon that surpassed the magic sword today made Emir's heart excited.

Next, Ophelia took out the material mixed with ninety percent of the gold pyroxene, and at dusk, the mass of material shone more visibly.

Only then did the emile see that it was not a reflection before, but the light of the material itself.

After he took it, he couldn't take it at all, and Ophelia obviously didn't expect this situation, so she hurried to help him.

After putting the ingredients into the furnace, Lilith spat out the dragon's breath, and surprisingly, this time the dragon's breath was not a fireball, but a column, extending directly from Lilith's mouth, and the firepower was significantly stronger.

Moreover, the flame was even more powerful than Pedro had unleashed, and the material could be seen melting at a rate visible to the naked eye.

In just a few minutes, the material turned into molten iron, and the emir immediately took out a stone mold and poured the molten iron into it.

After cooling, the material turned into a long sheet of iron, and then the emir began a long thrashing.

This time was different from when he was coerced to repair the magic sword, in order to keep improving, he used all his strength to forge, and the number of beatings also increased from thousands to tens of thousands.

It wasn't until it was completely dark that the emir barely finished thrashing, and the iron pieces were completely free of impurities and more resilient.

He immediately put the hot iron sheet into cold water and carried out the quenching process, even though it was foolproof, but he was still relieved to see that the quenching was successful.

Ophelia was on the sidelines throughout the process, but the Emile didn't think she was just here to watch.

Sure enough, seeing that Emir had succeeded, Ophelia finally walked over.

"By the way, you mysteriously asked me to forge the Holy Sword before, what should be your purpose?" Emir said with a smile.

"Hehe, it's you," Ophelia smiled, "I'll explain this to you later, in fact, you can't forge the Holy Sword now, I heard that you talked to the Dark Knight, so you should know that the magic sword has its own consciousness." ”

"Well, but is it really that amazing? Could it be that the magic sword will not be able to speak? The emir looked suspicious.

"Of course, forging a magic sword is like creating a life, and this holy sword mixed with ninety percent gold pyroxene is not to mention."

"Really? Where's your sword? I didn't hear it speak. ”

"It's normal, because only the owner of the sword can hear it."

"Uh, that sounds like a bluff." The emir was even more skeptical.

"Hehe," Ophelia chuckled, "and let's make a bet, if I'm lying to you, I'll give you this saber of mine, and if it's true, you'll have to promise me one thing, how about it?" ”

Emile thought for a moment, no matter what the outcome of this bet was, it seemed that he would take advantage of it, even if he promised Ophelia one thing, he felt honored, after all, who wouldn't want to do things for such a beautiful woman?

"All right," said the emir, cheerfully agreed, "and what shall I do next?" ”

"Didn't you get a necklace before? It contains the body tissue of the demon god, so you can release it directly. ”

"Hmm." The emir did so.

Then, with a "snap" sound, a thick tentacle fell to the ground, still squirming gently.

When Emir saw this, he felt a little sick, he didn't know what Ophelia needed to do with this tentacle.

He squatted on the ground, picked up a wooden stick casually, and poked the surface of the tentacle, but a strange scene happened, only to see the tentacle suddenly writhe violently.

Then he flicked it on the ground and jumped into the air with the help of the reaction force, and the emir was so frightened that he quickly got up and stepped back.

However, the tentacles moved faster and flew directly towards the emir's face, and at this critical moment, a long sword stabbed at it, it was Ophelia.

In the next moment, only the sound of "brushing" was heard, and Ophelia used her skill to pierce the tentacle, but it was not completely cut off, but picked on the blade of the sword.

"This ...... How can this guy still have such a strong vitality. "The emir was incredulous.

"Monsters are like this, let alone demon gods? They are quite powerful beings in the demon race, although their strength is not as strong as the Dark Knight, but they have extremely strong vitality. ”

"Oh, so what's next?"

"Use this thing as an introduction." Ophelia said lightly.

"Introduction?"

"That's right, just like you need a medicine to make a potion, the magic sword...... Oh no, the forging of the holy sword also needs an introduction, and this introduction must have a huge amount of magical power, so this tentacle is perfectly suitable. ”

"I see, but how?" The emir asked, and at this point he was rekindled.

"Let Lilith breathe fire, refine this thing, don't worry, it won't burn to ashes."

The emir nodded, and immediately ordered, as the dragon's breath roasted, the tentacles gradually lost their moisture and became like dry branches, and sure enough, they were not directly burned to ashes.

Emile remembered what happened to Margaret in the library, when he wanted Lilith to destroy the tentacles, which seemed impossible now.

The fiery dragon's breath continued to smelt, and as time passed, the tentacle shaped like a dead branch slowly disappeared, and the emir was worried about whether it would burn out completely, only to find that the tentacle had turned into a small object like a finger, exuding a metallic luster.

Emir now understands that the next step should be to fuse this refined thing with the sword blade, but the sword blade has already been formed, and the fusion step should be carried out in the process of hammering, is it really useful to do so now?

But the next scene completely dispelled the emir's doubts, only to see Ophelia pick up the refined object with her long sword, gently flip the blade, let it fall on the sword of the holy sword, and the moment it touched, the object merged into it.

As this step was completed, the holy sword actually emitted a golden light, and even the emir had to cover his eyes.

After a while, the light dissipated, and the surface of the holy sword could be seen flickering with cold light, and the blade of the sword became extremely sharp without polishing.

Surprised by this phenomenon, Emile asked Ophelia.

"Uh, that sword of yours is blunt, why is this one different?"

"Well, I'm surprised too," Ophelia said with a serious expression, "according to the elf who helped me forge it at the beginning, after the quenched sword fused with the lead, it became like this, and he tried to polish it later, but he couldn't change it. ”

"Oh? That's incredible. ”

"However, it doesn't matter, it should be that the people who forge are different, maybe you have some kind of trait that affects the weapons you forge."

The emir was noncommittal, and then, in order to verify Ophelia's words, he put the holy sword to his ear and listened carefully, only to be disappointed that he had heard nothing.

"Hmph, you lost the bet, it looks like your sword is going to be mine." Amir said, holding out his hand.

He certainly wouldn't really want to, just wanted to see what Ophelia would do with an interesting reaction.

Ophelia, however, was not surprised, but smiled with interest.

"Hehe, it seems that you didn't understand my words just now, I said, only the owner of the sword can hear it, since you can't hear it, it means that the sword has not recognized you."

"Really? You're not going to be kidding me again, are you? The emir could not laugh or cry.

"Hmph, do you think I'm that boring?"

"Who knows?" The emir spread his hands.

However, although the bet had not yet come to fruition, Emir did feel a force gathering in his hand with this sharp holy sword in his hand, and for a moment, he even felt that he had mastered the entire world.

"Alright, the Holy Sword is forged," Ophelia said, clasping her hands on her chest, "It's a pity that you can't fully exert its power yet, so you can only try it in actual combat." ”

"Actual combat? But the demons won't be here for the time being. ”

"On this ......," Ophelia paused, and continued, "the subject is a bit heavy, and you need to be well prepared, though I don't want to tell you about it, but if you don't...... I'm going to be sorry for it. ”

"Haha, we even repelled the demons, what kind of heavy topics can we have next." The emir was puzzled.

“…… It's about your hometown. Ophelia's expression became solemn.

Upon hearing this, the emir's smiling face froze directly.
