Chapter 7: The Wrath of the Fire Dragon

Kong Ming came out of the room, Kong Ming rested very well last night, after all, a person who has been in the wild for more than ten days, comes to a place that does not need to have too much vigilance, a house, a place with a big bed to rest, and after relaxing all the spirits, it can really make people feel like they have come to heaven. After breakfast, Kong Ming walked out of the compound alone, he wanted to walk around the city, I don't know who said such a sentence, "Walk thousands of miles, read thousands of books." "He's also going to find out what's going on here. As he walked, he looked at the shops on both sides, it was about ten o'clock in the morning, and the spring cold had not subsided, and the roads were very deserted on both sides, without the crowded feeling of last night, only a few people were walking around. There are all kinds of advertisements on the storefront, so that people can know what is sold there at a glance, and some stores even mark the price of some goods on the advertisement, but take away some of the status of the store's name, and there is a feeling of anti-customer. Kong Ming walked into a weapon shop marked with the head of a dwarf, this era is an era of magic martial arts, if a person walks outside without bringing one or a few sharp weapons for self-defense, maybe when there will be trouble to find the door, and there are many beasts and monsters outside the city, so going out to carry weapons has become the only choice for everyone, at this time only the dwarf and alchemist's shop is the most profitable, where in addition to artifacts and holy weapons, as long as they can make it, they are sold, of course, the price is different.

Walking into the dwarven shop, Kong Ming saw several customers picking out their weapons or armor, and in front of them was a dwarf standing on a table, introducing them to the weapons in front of them. Kong Ming saw that this weapon shop was in a trilateral, the store was very large, except for this side by the door, the other three sides were the counters of the store, and behind the counter stood a weapon, there were swords, knives, axes, thorns, and many weapons common on the continent, each of which had a price, as few as five silver coins, and as many as thousands of gold coins, and so on, Kong Ming didn't want to come in, he didn't have no sword, but since he fought with that assassin, he knew that if he continued to use that long sword, then in the next mission, if he encountered an assassin of the same level again, he would probably be the one who would suffer, because he has always used a two-handed sword, this kind of sword is a sharp weapon in war, and the one-handed sword in the war is inferior to the two-handed sword, of course, this is from the perspective of a low-level swordsman, to a high-level swordsman like Kong Ming, in fact, in the war, the two-handed sword and the one-handed sword are the same, not to mention that there is no more difference between them. And another reason is that the sword skill of the fire dragon fighting qi is a one-handed sword skill, and Kong Ming is not very good at using this sword to practice, so Kong Ming didn't come over today to buy a suitable one-handed sword. And the sword on his body, he has to dispose of it, after all, this is the long sword of the Guard, this sword makes him arouse people's suspicion, which is not a good thing for him, who has always been relatively low-key. Along the counter, Kong Ming gradually looked at the swords on the shelves, some wide and some narrow, some heavy and some light, there were one-handed swords, there were two-handed swords, most of these were very practical swords, but what puzzled Kong Ming was that there were actually some ceremonial swords here, this kind of impractical swords, dwarves also had to build? After Kong Ming asked this question, the dwarf in front of Kong Ming answered Kong Ming's question, in addition to the long swords here are made by dwarves, there are also some made by people or elves, and a large part of the reason why dwarves put them here is not to sell them, but to make them a comparison with the swords made by dwarves, so that buyers know that the difference between dwarves and other people's creations, of course, there must be no one or a famous master in the elves to build them, because this is not a comparison, but a blow.

After hearing this, Kongming was speechless, who said that dwarves are synonymous with loyalty and honesty, these people should be thrown into the garbage heap, a nation's existence of loyal and honest quality does not mean that there is no wisdom, otherwise it will not create a different civilization. Kong Ming saw that a sword was between a one-handed sword and a two-handed sword, which made Kong Ming very surprised, this kind of sword can be said to be very suitable for people like Kong Ming, because, Kong Ming is used to two-handed swords, so even if he knows that the fire dragon sword skill is a one-handed sword skill, he still has not changed his habit of using the sword, and the long sword of the guards is only suitable for both hands, because after holding it with two hands, the grip still grows a section, and it is difficult to use a one-handed sword, and the general one-handed sword cannot be held with both hands at the same time, and the sword in front of him happens to be universal to both, just suitable for him。 After letting the dwarf take the sword, Kong Ming looked at this sword carefully, the sword is one meter three long, four centimeters wide, double-edged, the blade is very sharp, the entire sword body is silvery-white, the hilt of the sword is covered with a thin layer of demonic beast skin, the sword guard is an irregular quadrilateral, the sword body is engraved with three magic arrays, from the top of the formation, it is the magic array of the wind system, there are two magic cores on both sides of the tail of the sword, two magic cores of the wind system, and the Mithril lines are connected with the three magic arrays. Looking at Kong Ming looking at this sword carefully, the dwarf briefly introduced the advantages of this sword on the side.

"This sword is the wind system wind sword created by the best master of our dwarf race, this sword is engraved with three third-level magic arrays, one is acceleration, the effect of this magic array is acceleration, which can make your sword speed have a surprising speed in an instant, of course, how much faster is related to the level of personal fighting spirit and the attributes of fighting energy, the attribute is much faster than other systems; , but an earth-based magic array, strong, this magic array can play a role in protecting the sword body during and after the use of the sword, so that it will not be broken when fighting against other swords. Because there are two kinds of magic, two third-level magic cores are used, otherwise only one is enough. The dwarf pointed to the three magic arrays on the sword and introduced it to Kong Ming. There is something to be proud of in between the words, and Kong Ming looked at this sword again and again, although this sword seems to be okay, but Kong Ming can't give full play to its own power if he uses it, so Kong Ming subconsciously asked: "How much is this sword, is there any other system?"

"This sword costs a hundred gold coins, no bargaining, for the convenience of users, our master has also made a few magic swords that are the same as this one, all the elemental ones are available, you need that one. The dwarf didn't react much when he saw that Kong Ming had heard the price, and he knew that this time he could at least make a deal, and the ale wine in the evening was guaranteed again.

"Fire or space can be," Kong Ming said lightly. In fact, there is no need to hide this, because there are not a few people in the dual line on the mainland, although most of them are single-lineed, but there are still many double-lineed, in other words, the sword in front of me is the most suitable for the body of the two elements of wind and earth.

"Wait a minute. When the dwarf heard this, he turned around and entered a room next to him, and after a while, he took out more than a dozen magic swords from it, all of which were of each department, but there were three of them of fire and space, and only one or two of the others. Kong Ming picked up a sword engraved with the fire magic array in his hand, constantly looked at it, and used his hands to experience the weight of the sword, the center of gravity, the smoothness of the sword body, the sharpness of the blade, etc., as Kasia said that a sword suitable for himself can play his own specialties in battle, from a certain Cheng dù, such a sword is more suitable for himself than the sword, in the past battles or before coming here, the sword in Kong Ming's hand was either taken from the enemy, or sent by his superiors, and now the only sword is still given by others, and he has never bought one。 Maybe Kong Ming was very engaged, and Kong Ming's face even showed a rare hint of sacredness, as if he didn't notice a few people walking to his side. The dwarf saw someone coming and quickly explained the swords to the men. Kong Ming changed a few more swords, until he found a sword that was a dual-system magic array of wind and fire, which made Kong Ming feel satisfied. This is a dual-system magic sword of wind and fire, there are two magic cores on the back of the hilt, one wind and one fire, and there are three magic arrays engraved on the sword body, one is the acceleration magic array of the wind system, one is the bursting magic array of the fire system, and the other is the magic array that amplifies the fighting spirit of the fire system, it can be said that this is the most suitable sword for Kong Ming at present. Kong Ming tried to input the fighting qi into the sword body, only to see that the sword body slowly lit up, Kong Ming moved slightly, and the sword quickly slashed to the side where there was no one, leaving only a little shadow in the air, this is the magic array that activates the wind system, although the magic array that activates the wind system with fire fighting qi is not as good as activating it with wind fighting qi, but it can also be used, after all, the magic core on the magic array will provide a small part of the magic power to convert, and then, the sword body emitted a faint fighting qi and burst open one meter in front of the sword, this is the function of the two magic arrays。 When the fighting spirit exploded, there was a muffled sound, the sound was not loud but it startled the guests next to Kong Ming, four of them quickly surrounded Kong Ming, and two of them were protecting a person in brocade clothes. Kong Ming looked at those people as if they were facing a great enemy, and people naturally became vigilant. Holding the sword in his hand, his eyes looked at the four people, but there was no trace of hostility on his body, because Kong Ming knew that this was a misunderstanding. Looking at Kong Ming's appearance, the man in brocade smiled and said, "Come back," and then greeted Kong Ming, "Hehe, I'm sorry to frighten you, you continue, you continue." Seeing this, Kong Ming slowly relaxed his body, and the seven of them also retreated to the side of the brocade-clothed man, but they did not relax at all, and still stood guard around the man, as if someone would suddenly attack them. Seeing them like this, Kong Ming relieved his heart and said to the dwarf, "Boss, is there a magic sword with a dual system of space and fire?" Although the sword in front of him is very good, Kong Ming has firmly remembered Kasia's words, and the right one is the best. The dwarf saw Zecai's scene, but he didn't react in the slightest, thinking that it was because he had seen too much, and when he saw Kong Ming asking, he thought for a while, so he replied: "It seems that there is a handful, the combination of space and fire is a little off-topic, I remember that the master seems to have made a handful, and it has not been sold for a long time, you wait a minute, I will look for it." With that, he ignored the crowd and went straight to the back of the store.

After Kong Ming saw the dwarf walk in, he picked up a sword again and looked at it carefully. Those seven people were originally not wary of Kong Ming, but when they saw this, they were really relieved, because in their eyes, Kong Ming's dress was indeed ordinary, without the slightest prominence, and they never looked at it a second time. It's just one of the strong men wearing dark green armor, about two meters tall, and when he looked at Kong Ming with disdain, he suddenly saw the long sword behind Kong Ming, and a trace of reassurance flashed in his eyes. Then he lowered his head and whispered something to the brocade-clothed man, who also looked at Kongming, and the others also looked at the other people when they saw this situation. After seeing Kong Ming's long sword, his heart was also wide for a while, and one of them took out a silver sign and was about to walk towards Kong Ming, but he let the other one stop him, so he had to put it away, but at this time they no longer regarded Kong Ming as an enemy. After a while, the dwarf came out of it, and took out a box with a sword, and there were traces of dust on the box that had just been patted, perhaps because no one had bought it for a long time, and the dwarf had not patted it clean for a long time, and the dwarf's beard was also stained with a lot of dust. I don't know if this sword has been in that corner for a long time, and it has not been turned out until now. The dwarf took the box to the front of Kong Ming and opened it, there was a sword inside, and there was a scabbard next to the sword, the scabbard was gray, as if it had been burned by a fire, gray and white and black were mixed together, but it was mainly gray, and the texture on the scabbard was an image of a dragon, which was the appearance of a dragon, but the dragon looked very fierce, maybe the craftsman who made this sword was not a person who was proficient in this way, so he could say that he was useless except for being able to express his demeanor, in other words, it was too rough。 Look at the sword again, it's about the same, the whole sword body is a dull silver-white, like a little rusty, with three rough magic arrays painted on it, the magic array looks very simple, it may be a simplified version of the magic array, Kong Ming took the sword out of the box, and the other side of the sword is the same, but the magic array on both sides is also right, the sword's gauntlet is not big, a brass color, and the bottom end of the sword is two magic stones, which exude a faint fire element and space element. Looking at the appearance of this sword, the others next to him laughed, this sword does not look very good, and it is outdated, this simple magic array is a previous practice, this magic array can only send out simple magic, generally speaking, this kind of magic needs to consume more magic power, and now it has been replaced by modern complex magic arrays, the same magic power, other swords can easily release two or three times more magic than this sword, and the magic crystal in the back is generally used to store magic power, but this way is also backward, now people only need to use the magic core to replace, because the magic core does not need the magician to store magic power,As long as you use it directly, you can use it to change a magic core to solve the problem of no magic power.。 So when those people saw this sword, they laughed directly, and in their opinion, if someone bought this sword, then that person must be a fool. Kong Ming doesn't know much about swords, because he has always used them before or got them casually, and he has never looked at a sword seriously, and Kasia and the old hunter have the same point of view, on the way to cultivation, talent is the most important, and the sword is only an extension of a person's arm, under the effect of this point of view, their view of the sword is also a kind of dispensable, which also indirectly causes Kong Ming's understanding of weapons to deviate, and usually does not pay attention to this aspect. Looking at the sword in his hand, Kong Ming just naturally asked, "How much is this sword." ”

"Two hundred gold coins. The dwarf replied blandly. Thinking that he has been answering this question all day long, he has enough immunity in terms of emotional color.

"What?" Before Kong Ming could reply, one of the seven people next to him wearing cyan armor called out directly. It seems that he was also shocked by this price, such a broken sword is also worth two hundred gold coins, and other better swords than this one are lower than the low level of this sword, this kind of thing is too much, but because this thing appeared in front of the dwarves, this kind of loyal and honest people, they did not let those people go berserk.

"Reason. Kong Ming didn't pay attention to the man, nor did he look at the dwarf, but asked lightly.

"The whole of this sword is made of fine iron and mythril, more than any weapon here, and this reason should be enough. The dwarf saw Kong Ming's coldness, and he was also a little angry in his heart, after all, as a dwarf, he also had the pride of being a dwarf in his heart, and a person like Kong Ming was not a person who was good at communicating, and he always spoke a little coldly. Kong Ming kept playing with the sword, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, although he didn't know why it was happening, but it was indeed a real feeling. When holding the sword, there was an inexplicable feeling that the sword man was connected, as if the sword was born to be his. After hearing the dwarf's words, Kong Ming knew why this sword was so expensive, because the sword was made entirely of fine iron was very jealous, not to mention the addition of those Mithril. As a magician, Kong Ming is very aware of the preciousness of this Mithril, in other words, even if these ingredients are not made into this sword, then they are worth this price. Kong Ming pondered for a moment, and then made a move that shocked the seven people and the dwarf, Kong Ming pulled out the long sword of the guard from his back with the sheath, threw it in front of the dwarf, and said, "I don't have that much money, you see, how much this sword is worth." ”

"Your sword is in the style of the Imperial Guard, this kind of sword is very popular now, and many nobles in the imperial capital are proud to buy such a sword, well, from this point of view, your sword should be an Imperial Guard sword, not those imitations. And it seems to be a sword that only the guards have by the side of His Majesty. The dwarf said as he watched. It didn't matter if he said this, it startled the few people around Kong Ming, obviously they also knew that this was a sword for the Guards, but they didn't know that it was the long sword of the Guards, although the Guards and the Guards were only one word apart, but the meaning was far from each other.

"How do you know this is the sword of the guards next to you?" a person next to him asked a question that Kong Ming also wanted to know. When the man asked, his eyes secretly looked at Kong Ming, thinking that Kong Ming would stop him from finishing this sentence, but to their surprise, Kong Ming not only did not have the slightest intention of stopping it, but also seemed to have heard it for the first time. The dwarf looked at Kong Ming with such a look, and he was also a little suspicious, but seeing that Kong Ming had no intention of stopping it, and he was also a senior swordsman, he had nothing to fear, and then said: "This batch of swords was ordered by the Imperial Military Department in our clan, and we have numbered each sword, the first 10,000 numbers belong to the guards, and all the subsequent numbers of swords belong to the guards." Not only that, but each sword is preceded by a character, and we can easily know that the owner of this sword is under the control of the general, well, let me see, the number of this sword is 'C02056', and this sword should belong to the sword of the guard who guards the prince. At this point, the dwarf looked at Kong Ming proudly, which obviously meant that he was asking Kong Ming if he wanted to continue. Kong Ming made a gesture of indispensability, and the dwarf saw that he knew that Kong Ming didn't mind him saying this, and then said: "A refers to the personal guards who guard His Majesty, usually dedicated to protecting the emperor, B refers to the guards who guard the palace, mainly to protect the imperial palace, and C refers to the personal guards who protect the prince, and this sword is 02056, then 02 means that this is the personal guard of the second prince, and 056 means that this is the 56th personal guard next to the second prince." Your Excellency, do you think I'm right?" the dwarf looked at Kongming with a look of pride in his eyes. A few people next to him said that the dwarf was obviously acquiescing to Kongming's identity. Kong Ming was not interested in this, but after hearing the dwarf say this, he guessed that the person who gave him the sword was obviously a personal guard of the second prince in the dwarf's mouth, and the person who drank with him was obviously a personal guard of the second prince, and the meaning of giving him the sword was also very obvious, that is, if Kong Ming went to the imperial capital, if he wanted to, he could go to the second prince's mansion and let the personal guard introduce Kong Ming as a personal guard, and if he didn't go, he should make a friend. Kong Ming never thought that he would have such a relationship with the people around the prince. But now, he needed a sword of his own, and the guard's sword was clearly useless for him.

"Don't talk so much nonsense, whether it's a guard sword or an ordinary sword, I just want to ask, how much is it worth?" Kong Ming still said lightly, not confused by the news at all, the origin of this sword is very legitimate, and it is not to steal or rob what are you afraid of?

"Do you really want to sell it?" The dwarf still insisted on selling this sword after seeing Kong Ming being exposed by him, and was a little surprised in his heart, this sword is the lifeblood of those guards, I heard that some guards were driven out of the guards because they lost the sword in their hands, and they were scolded by others, in the eyes of people, the sword of the swordsman is the second life of the swordsman, how can it be sold, unless there is some last resort.

"How much?" asked Kong Ming again.

"300 gold coins, this is the price given by the Imperial Military Department when it was customized. When the dwarf saw that Kongming had no intention of taking it back, he knew that it was useless to talk more.

"Remove the money for this sword, and you still have to find me 100 gold coins. Kong Ming said with the sword he had just bought in his hand.

After watching the dwarf find Kong Ming 100 gold coins, the seven people were also stunned, they never thought that such a valuable sword would let Kong Ming sell, they always thought that Kong Ming was blackmailing the dwarf, because this kind of thing can often be seen in the imperial capital, sometimes which guard has no money to drink, so he uses this method of selling and deceitful to blackmail the merchants, just imagine, the person who has no background in the emperor dares to buy a standard guard sword? But Kong Ming's action proves that he is indeed selling this standard sword, not blackmailing. One of them wanted to step forward to stop Kong Ming from selling his sword, but the other person stopped him, but the person in his eyes was still angry. Kong Ming inserted the long sword he had just bought into the scabbard, and then stuck it behind him habitually, tightened it, and when he saw that the sword was not shaking again, he turned around and was about to leave, when suddenly the dwarf's voice came from behind.

"Sir, the name of this sword is 'Dragon's Wrath'. ”

Hearing this voice, Kong Ming didn't feel anything, as if he heard something very ordinary, nodded and left.

After watching Kong Ming leave, the seven people suddenly woke up from their shock and hurriedly bought the sword from the dwarf.
