In front of me, lines of text appeared.

【Iron +1+1+1......】

Due to the limited conditions, the iron can only be struck at noon every day.

In addition, the slower the proficiency rises, Zhou An has already squeezed out time and tried his best to improve the iron.

As the text emerged, Zhou An's technique became more and more proficient.

A moment later, an iron bar appeared on the anvil.

The iron bars burned red.

Zhou An put the iron bar in the water next to it and quenched it.

A puff of green smoke came out.

When Zhou An took out the iron bar, the words in front of him finally changed.

【Please select a direction】

Underneath this line of text are two different options.

[Fusion casting method: hard +1, fusion +1.] 】

[Finger Wrapping Method: Toughness +1, Sharpness +1.] 】

Two options, corresponding to two different directions.

In addition to hardness, the fusion casting method also has fusion, and the finger wrapping method is the opposite, providing toughness and sharpness.

These are all well understood, all literally, except for the fusion of these two words.

According to the previous law, Zhou An's striking iron itself brings hardness, so he still chose the fusion casting method on this basis.

Zhou An did not hesitate and quickly made a choice.

Right now, the words are gradually dissipating.

Zhou An was a little excited, and he was looking forward to what the fusion casting method would bring.

After a few moments, when the text in front of me dissipated, a new line of text replaced the old one.

[Fusion Casting Method (Hardness +2, Fusion +1) Lv.3: 1/40000]

Proficiency doubled again.

A large amount of information poured into Zhou An's mind.

After a while, Zhou An finally absorbed all the content of the fusion casting method.

It's a method of casting, and as the name suggests, it's purpose-built to be made.

After crafting, it has the attribute of +2 Hardness, and it also has the attribute of +1 Fusion.

Fusion, in fact, is very simple after understanding.

The so-called fusion is the power that can be exerted by what Zhou An casts.

The higher the fusion, the stronger the creation and the more effects it can have.

For example, Zhou An made a long knife.

Due to the fusion attribute, it can increase its power by 10%.

Don't underestimate the 10%, this is only a case of fusion +1.

In the future, the higher and higher it is, the higher the fusion, and the stronger the power will be.

"Good, good! Good skills! ”

Zhou An felt that this skill was simply tailor-made for himself.

What do you lack most now?

What's missing is defense!

If you create a pair of armor for yourself, and this armor can also increase your defense by 10%, it will be seamless.

What's more, he can not only fight armor, but also fight with knives and pots.

The percentage increase is simply a hooligan!

Of course, it's not just the skills that have been improved, but the Qi in Zhou An's body has changed again.

The Qi in the shape of a circle was originally hollow in the middle, but now it has been partially filled.

Now it is one step closer to the second-rate master.

In front of you, the latest information appears.

"My defense plan can finally be implemented."

Zhou An put the iron bar aside, looked at the blacksmith Zhao who was striking iron next to him, and walked over with a smile.

Blacksmith Zhao was striking iron, and after hearing Zhou An's footsteps, he turned his head suspiciously.

"My lord, what's wrong with you?"

At this time, Zhou An should still be striking iron, how can he have time to talk to him?

Recently, after Zhou An came, in addition to greeting, he was concentrating on striking iron.

As if he were the blacksmith.

"Lao Zhao, I want to ask something, is there any extra material we have here? I want to give myself something after I buy it. Zhou An asked.

When Blacksmith Zhao heard this, he said, "My lord, just tell me what you want to fight, I'll help you fight, you have just learned, and it's not suitable to build it right away." ”

Zhou An smiled: "It doesn't matter, just help me prepare the materials." ”

Although Blacksmith Zhao didn't know what Zhou An thought, he didn't think much about it, but he didn't think much about it, and nodded in agreement.

In Anding County, there is no special material for building, that is, iron is needed.

Zhou An roughly estimated the amount he needed, and said to Blacksmith Zhao.

Blacksmith Zhao didn't have much money, so Zhou An could only endure the pain and took out a lot of savings.

He had a lot of things to build, and of course more materials.

"I'll be here tomorrow at noon, so make sure you have the materials ready." Zhou An said.

Blacksmith Zhao nodded and agreed.

Zhou An didn't say much and left the blacksmith shop.

How to upgrade the iron striking skill next, he plans to try it again next time.

Words appear in front of your eyes.

[Ku Ding Jie Knife Lv.4 (Speed +2, Accuracy +2): 1668/60000]

[Turbulent Matter Lv.4 (Strength +2, Destruction +2): 1/60000]

[Dragon Step Lv.4 (Speed +2, Evasion +2): 1/60000]

[Fusion casting method lv.3 (hardness +2, fusion +1): 1/40000]

These are all the attributes of Zhou An at the moment.

Since there has been nothing going on these days, the knife has risen quite a lot.

He thought now, after building the equipment tomorrow, he would concentrate on the liver and the knife, and the rest would be gone.

Wait until you have upgraded the Ox Breaker to level 5 and then try other skills.

After returning to the county office, the fishing here has almost begun to salt, and Zhou An is also happy to integrate into it.

After saying hello, he went straight to the kitchen and prepared the liver cooking.

I also met Master Xu on the way.

Master Xu was full of spring breeze, and there were red marks on his neck, obviously going to an indescribable place.

Especially that face, smiling like a chrysanthemum.

The two also said hello, and Master Xu left beautifully.

After coming to the kitchen, Zhou An kneaded a dough and began to practice carving.

He suddenly realized that it was better to carve this than to carve wood.

After the dough is carved, you can pinch it and reuse it, which is a money-saving tool.

An afternoon passed in the carving.

When it was almost time to disperse, Zhou An took back the long knife and went home with Yu Hang.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was night.

After eating, Zhou An picked up the long knife and prepared to liver for a while in the evening.

The long knife was like the wind, and the dough in his hand became the shape Zhou An wanted.

In this way, after a while, Zhou An shook his arm, intending to rest.

Tomorrow I have to build equipment, which is an important part, and I have to keep my spirit full.

"Sleep."

After making up his mind, Zhou An put the long knife back into its scabbard and took it to the room to prepare for sleep.

In these years, the knife never leaves the body.

But before he could lie down, there was a sharp knock at the door.

"Knock knock!"

The knock on the door was like a storm, and it was very urgent.

Zhou An sat up from the bed and clenched the long knife.

"Who!"

Outside the door, Yu Hang's voice sounded.

"Zhou An, get dressed! Something is wrong!! ”

Yu Hang's voice was very eager, and it was the first time that he suddenly knocked on his door in such a late day.

Zhou Anxin thought that something big must have happened, so he got dressed, carried a saber, and opened the door.

Outside the door, Yu Hang was already dressed neatly, his face was full of anxiety, and he was relieved to see Zhou An open the door.

"In the middle of the night, what's going on?" Zhou An asked suspiciously.

Yu Hang pointed in the direction of the county government: "Master Xu is dead." ”

Zhou An really didn't expect it to be this, even he was slightly stunned.

He still remembered that he met Master Xu today, Master Xu was full of spring light, and his neck was full of red marks, obviously coming out of a certain Fengyue place.

It's fine during the day, but it's suddenly gone at night, and there's something strange about it.

Lice on the bald head, it's all obvious.

Obviously, it should have something to do with what happened recently.

"Let's go, go to the county office." Zhou An closed the door with his backhand.

A master of the yamen, even if he is not a high-ranking official, at least has an establishment.

At this time, he died suddenly.

The prefectural order is estimated to have been furious.

Especially when the inspection was approaching, there were accidents one after another, and Zhou An felt that the clouds in Anding County were getting thicker and thicker.

The two didn't say much, and after they went out, they rushed towards the yamen.

……

When Zhou An came to the yamen at night, all the catchers had already gathered in the yamen.

In the middle of the courtyard of the yamen, a corpse was placed.

After Zhou An arrived, he glanced at the corpse, his brows furrowed tightly.

The deceased is indeed Master Xu, but this death is a bit strange.

Master Xu didn't have any injuries on his body, not even a small cut, but he died inexplicably.

The weirdest thing was that Master Xu's face was filled with excitement.

Even if it is completely dead, the excitement on the face of this corpse is still visible to the naked eye.

Checking is underway.

Chen Xianling looked angry and stood beside him, his fists clenched tightly.

After about a pillar of incense, he put away the tools for inspection.

"Back to my lord, Master Xu died in Deyang." Bow your hand.

Deyang?

When these two words sounded, everyone present was in disbelief.

What is deyang?

It's when doing what men love to do, they die suddenly.

Such an absurd way of death, Zhou An also saw it for the first time.

"During the day, who has seen Master Xu?" Chen Xianling asked.

The people present looked at each other.

Zhou An has seen it, but he is not stupid, there is no need to stand up at this time.

He's not stupid, but someone is stupid.

Sun Zhutou, who had just taken office, said stubbornly: "Adult, villain has seen it." ”

"But this has nothing to do with villains."

Chen Xian ordered the sleeve robe to wave: "Whether it has anything to do with you, the official doesn't know, but you have to explain your affairs clearly." ”

Sun Zhutou nodded quickly, wanting to clear his suspicions.

"During the day, the villain invited Master Xu to go to Chunxiao Tower."

Everyone looked at it.

Everyone knows that the reason why Sun Zhutou became this head catcher is all because of giving gifts to Master Xu.

The two walked very closely.

But no matter how close it was, I didn't expect it to be so close.

Zhou An felt normal.

In these years, there are four kinds of relationships that are very hard.

They have been through the window together, carried guns together, been in prison together, and prostituted together.

I don't dare to say that this relationship is the best, but it is absolutely hard.

Zhou An pondered, Sun Zhutou could do this.

"Nonsense! As a member of the county government, it is simply insulting to go to the Fengyue place! When Chen Xianling heard this, he immediately blew his beard and glared.

Sun Zhutou was hesitant and didn't dare to speak.

In a small place like Anding County, there is no teaching department, and even if there is, it is not that people like Sun Zhutou have the money to go in.

So if you want to solve some things, you have to go to some Fengyue places.

There are several Fengyue Fields in Anding County, and Chunxiao Tower is actually not famous.

Chen Xianling also knew that no matter how angry he was at this time, he had to solve the matter.

"There was no accident when I went, and there was an accident when I came back, there must be something strange about this matter, a few of you go to Chunxiao Tower."

"The others stayed behind the yamen and stood by at any time."

Chen Xian Ling randomly ordered a few quick catches, and Zhou An was also among them.

Someone died, the master died, this matter has to be investigated.

Whoever points to it has to do it.

Eating this bowl of rice, something happened, of course it had to be solved.

The catchers didn't say much, and after receiving the order, they went out of the yamen.

Zhou An also went out, and several people rushed towards Chunxiao Tower.

If you want to say that the Fengyue place in the entire Anding County, among them, the location of Chunxiao Tower is the most partial.

But I can't stand the cheap here.

So although the location is partial, there are a lot of guests coming and going.

Zhou An followed the other catchers, and as soon as he came in, he smelled a strong smell of fat powder.

It was the first time he had visited such a venue.

In fact, Zhou An was quite curious.

I also had some knowledge online before.

In this kind of place in modern times, the little sisters are all big brothers.

It was different in ancient times.

A son, who can call everyone crispy.

According to common sense, as soon as Zhou An came in, there should be bustards coming to solicit customers, but they are now wearing fast hunting clothes.

Whether it was a veteran customer or a girl in a light shirt, they all took three steps back when they saw them.

The old bustard still walked over, but his expression was very afraid: "A few officials, is there something wrong with coming to our Chunxiao Tower at this time?" Do you want me to find a few girls to accompany you? ”

The leader shook his head: "Are you still open during the day?" ”

Master Xu came during the day.

It stands to reason that the Qinglou will not open during the day.

When the old bustard heard this, he said helplessly: "It's all to make a living, our location here is remote, and the girl's talent is not good, so we can only open the door during the day, and we can earn a little money." ”

Zhou An listened in the back, never expecting that in these years, even a green building began to roll up.

Catch quickly told me what happened.

The bustard's face immediately turned extremely pale.

"My lord, this matter really has nothing to do with us here, no matter how stupid we are, it is impossible for us to harm a life, not to mention that he is still a master!"

"Okay, okay, you bring out all the girls that Master Xu called, I have something to ask."

The head of the catcher is also an old catcher, and he is very experienced in this area.

Although he usually fishes, he is also capable when he is doing his job.

When this kind of thing happens, the easiest thing is to start with those girls.

"By the way, open a room for us and bring all the girls to the room." The old catcher said quickly.

How dare the old bustard say that half is not?

She hurriedly took Zhou An and the others into a spacious room, and then said goodbye and went to find those girls.

About a pillar of incense, four girls came from outside the door, all cowering.
