"Stinky boy, let me tell you, this is the finest Damascus steel, my coffin, you can't take it!"

Hawke, who pushed the door and walked out of the blacksmith shop, was holding a large bag of things in his hand, but Fergus was still concerned about the steel with a faint blue sheen in Hawke's hand, "Old man, let go, you also know that this is Damascus steel, will you use it, it will only mold if you put it." Having said that, the evil smile on Hawke's face proves that he is playing the robber at this point.

Damascus steel, although it is a valuable steel on the whole continent, is extremely rare, and is made of a number of high-grade Fibello iron ore through more than ten days of continuous extrusion and forging. And the two pieces of Damascus steel in Hawke's hands, just looking at the size, each cost at least twenty Fibello iron ore, and the high-grade Fibelo iron ore is already an expensive and rare iron ore, and few blacksmiths can have the physical strength to complete the forging of Damascus steel.

If there is any steel of better quality than Damascus steel, it is the legendary Zardine steel. It is rumored to be made from multiple pieces of Damascus steel combined with magic, and it is said that equipment forged from zardine steel is not only indestructible, lightweight, but even absorbs magic. But this is all legend, after all, forging Damascus steel is extremely physically demanding, let alone using multiple Damascus steels to forge Zaldine steel that no one has ever seen.

These two pieces of Damascus steel were also obtained by Fergus at the Rochester Chamber of Commerce at the auction with all his financial resources, and he was never willing to forge this piece of steel, but now it was raided by the ruthless Hawke.

Fergus: "How can steel be moldy, you stop me." Seeing that he couldn't pull Hawke, Fergus also wanted to cry without tears. Seeing this, Hawke didn't feel unreasonable, and immediately put his arm around Fergus's shoulder, "Old Fu, in this way, when I helped you build it last time, what do you think of my forging skills." ”

Fergus pushed Hawke's hand away to guard against him, for fear of being tricked by the robber again, "Well, also... It's okay, what's the matter! ”

Hawke: "Today I took you two pieces of Damascus steel, right, I'll give you 10 Fibello iron ore later." ”

Fergus: "Huh! Stinky boy, you're so kind, so you're going to be a little better than those robbers. ”

Seeing that Fergus was not complimented, Hawke continued: "Old Fu, I really need these two pieces of steel, otherwise, I will give you so many iron demon weapons." As he spoke, he pointed to the wooden box with only one or two swords on the side.

Fergus: "Filled? ”

Hawke: "Loaded!" ”

Although the weapons of the demons are not as exquisite and gorgeous as the human weapons, they are among the best in terms of quality, and the iron content is extremely high, and many adventurers are also very willing to buy demon weapons. If you can have so many demon weapons, it will be very profitable even if you melt down and reforge new weapons.

Fergus was afraid that Hawker would pay his debts, so he dragged him to sign an agreement before he happily went to the tavern to drink. Hawke was left alone in the blacksmith shop at this point, and he pulled out the skull he had knocked off the Frost Tyrant's head and began to clank in front of the ingot.

It is these noisy quarrels and all kinds of strange sounds that make this small village so lively. The boatmen at the docks came to the shore, and most of the young men who got off the boat walked towards the Kablaan mercenary group. The Battle of the Ruins of the North and the Battle of the Glacial Valley have spread in the taverns of various cities, rumors of the Tyrant of Frost being killed have become legendary, and young men who yearn for adventure and excitement have set the Kablan Mercenaries as the first step in their adventure.

Tyr: "Marley! ”

Marley saw Tyr, who was shouting at him, and immediately asked the recruits to train on their own, and then ran to Tyr, "Ti... Tyr, are you looking for me? ”

Tilwaner smiled and handed the flower basket in his hand to Ma Li: "Kuhan has been really lively these days, this is the recovery potion made by Mr. Tobulin, the head of the Aidan regiment, please bring it to the regiment leader." ”

The bird followed the breeze as it swam through the bustling Kuhan, swaying twice and then flying into the sky along with the petals, but the change in direction caused the bird to stumble in the air and finally stop on the temple wall.

The shrine is just outside Kuhan's village, but here there is only wind and tranquility, and you don't feel any noise in Kuhan. Outside the temple are a row of tombstones, all of which are warriors who died for Kuhan and civilians who were killed by demons.

A gust of wind blows, and the towering trees in the center of the temple rustle with the breeze, and layers of fallen leaves add a new layer of decoration to the cemetery. Lista swept away the fallen leaves from Orm and Meier's tombstones with his hands, and placed two bottles of iced strawberry liqueur in front of the tomb.

This is the third time they have come after the death of these two heroes.

Fiona, behind Lista, clenched her fists, blaming herself, angry, and sad...... All kinds of emotions crisscrossed her face, and every time she came here, Fiona couldn't control the sadness and shame in her heart.

"I'm sorry if I didn't...... If it were me, get out of there earlier. ”

Tears slipped down the face of the battlefield rose and snapped down on Lista's shoulders. The nails of her hands were deeply embedded in the palms, but the pain might have made her feel a little less guilty.

Lista held Fiona's hands up, which made Fiona's hands no longer tremble, and Lista spread out Fiona's palms, took out gauze from her bag and wrapped Fiona around her hands a few times.

"Lista, I ....."

Without waiting for Fiona to finish, Lista took her in his arms.

"I ...... I obviously want to protect it, but I ...... it every time."

The breeze became swift and strong at this time, and the branches and leaves of the giant tree swayed with the wind to create a symphony of nature, overshadowing Lista's words of comfort and Fiona's cries, and the wind stirred the corners of their clothes, and also drove Fiona's long golden hair to fly in the air.

After a few moments, the wind slowed down, and Fiona raised her head from Lista's arms, her eyes red and swollen from crying, and her face hot and red from all kinds of emotions, and the two of them were still attached to each other like this.

"Fiona, I know, you've lost your family, your partner, so when you have these feelings again, if you lose them again, you'll be even more miserable."

"When the breeze blows the ends of your hair, and the corners of your eyes reveal your hidden loneliness, Fiona, I know loneliness better than anyone else."

"I... I had already lost all my family members, and I thought that from now on, I would be the only one left. ”

Lista understands the pain of losing her family and the loneliness of living alone, so Lista didn't answer Fiona, but just stroked Fiona's hair so that she could feel at ease, until the tearful man in her arms stopped whimpering, and Lista leaned into her ear and said, "You won't be alone in the future." ”

A man and a woman hugged each other in the wind, and until the wind stopped, the two separated, and each sat on the stairs to feel the residual warmth left by the other person, without saying a word.

The awkward silence was shattered by Kalu, who walked on the leaves, "Two brothers, what's wrong with you?" Did you quarrel? ”

Fiona buried her head in her hands, and Lista quickly replied, "No, no, no, hahaha, what's the matter with us?" ”

Karui: "That's weird, you guys! Forget it, I said before that I would teach you the 'Holy Spirit', and I'm more idle at the moment, so I'm here to teach you. ”

Hearing this, Fiona stood up suddenly, why didn't she want to learn a new skill, whether it was the Battle of the Northern Ruins or the Battle of the Ice Valley, or the ...... It's because of his weakness that the people around him die.

Although Karui is delicate, he doesn't understand these things between people, and only Fiona, who is watching this behavior from the sidelines, secretly smiles, "Finally cheer up." ”

Karui: "The Holy Spirit is the power of faith in one's own heart, and each person has their own unique Holy Spirit, either to strengthen the body or to have a new skill. ”

Kalu: "And the Holy Spirit is something that is constantly being learned and strengthened over time, and at the moment it seems that there is no upper limit to the growth of the Holy Spirit. ”

Lista: "So, what is your Holy Spirit?" ”

Karui: "You've experienced it before, my Holy Spirit is to strengthen the physique, and it will also bring a little benefit to the people around you. ”

As soon as these words came out, Lista and Fiona thought that when they were in the ice valley before, after Karui roared, Fiona and Lista felt that their strength had increased a lot.

Fiona: "Well, how do you activate this Holy Spirit?" ”

The corners of Karui's mouth rose, slowly took off the battle pillar behind him, and gently erected it on the ground, just when the battle pillar was about to touch the ground, an invisible force, in a circle, blew away the fallen leaves on the ground, revealing the floor, and when the battle pillar completely landed, a transparent circle of light slowly rose around the center of the battle pillar, and finally formed a light shield to envelop the three of them.

Lista and Fiona were amazed, both looking over their heads to observe the mask, Fiona curiously touched the mask with her hand, but felt nothing, and her hand was still free to come and go.

Lista: "Wow! Karui, what is this? ”

Karui: "My battle pillar, called the Pillar of the Holy Spirit, is able to unfold this magic circle for people to comprehend the Holy Spirit, and it is said that it is a craft left behind by a god named Nuada. ”

Lista and Fiona: "Wow! ”

Karui suddenly became serious and said, "Now, put your hands on the pillar of the Holy Spirit and close your eyes!" ”

Lista and Fiona trusted Karui and did not hesitate, and put their hands on them, referring to the moment they closed their eyes, a bright light was lit up in their respective brains.

......

"Hey! Brat! ”

Lista's blurred eyes gradually cleared, and after rubbing his eyes, he could also see clearly the person calling his name.

"Card... Uncle Karl! ”

Lista knew very well that this was an illusion brought to him by the pillar of the Holy Spirit, and he had already accepted the reality that Uncle Karl had passed away, but seeing Carl again so clearly and clearly, Lista still couldn't hold back the emotions in his heart, but for a while Lista was stunned in place, not knowing how to express it.

"You've grown up!" Karl reached out and rubbed Lista's head, but Lista was still stunned, but the tears were already falling.

Lista trembled, gulping out the air in an attempt to calm himself down, "Uncle, you, are you okay!" ”

"Uncle... Uncle, your son, they have abandoned you. ”

"Uncle... They don't care about you."

"Uncle......
