The place where Midi took the Count was the family's arsenal. In exchange for Midi's agreement to act as a stumbling block, the councillors generously agreed to several conditions, one of which was to sell the swords and armor abundant in the Seth family at a lower price to the Asrex family, whose territory lacked iron ore.

The first swords had already arrived, and Midi remembered that even his father, who had always been cautious, praised the quality of the weapons.

Rows of long swords were neatly inserted into the weapon racks, and the craftsmen were clearly conscientious, and any one of them was drawn by Midi and carefully cared for. On the hilt of the sword, the coat of arms of the Seth family is engraved, proving that it is the product of the proud family workshop.

Midi took the long sword and sharpened it at a home-made spear in the corner of the arsenal, and without much effort, he directly split the barrel in two.

"According to the Seth family, rare spinels were added to the forging process, so that these swords could be sharpened like clay. For this reason, although they said that they were at a good price, they sold us more than twice the price of ordinary weapons. Midi looked at the blade that glowed with cold light and said coldly, "It's just that when I was messing around with Fenrir, I overheard that it wasn't spinel that was really mixed in, but something else. ”

The Earl seemed to realize something for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What is it?"

"Black Hardstone!" Midi's tone was filled with a sense of certainty.

"What!" the Count gasped.

While black hardstone, like spinel, makes the metal less susceptible to wear and sharp, the former has the fatal flaw of breaking down quickly when exposed to acidic water. However, similar scams are not common in the Principality of Belmar, after all, black hard stone is mainly distributed in the territory of the Delos Empire, and if it is shipped to Belmar, the price is quite high, and it can be classified as "high-priced material".

No one would do such a thing to make an inferior weapon at a high cost.

Soon, however, following Midi's method, the acid water that the Count had poured on the blade of the sword showed its effect. The blade of the sword, which had been sharpened like clay, appeared corrosion one after another.

In just a few minutes, the long sword, which seemed to be shiny, broke in two because of its own weight, and the blade fell to the ground with a heavy sound, like a heavy fist, smashing into the earl's heart.

But Ingman was a seasoned earl after all, and he quickly calmed down from his momentary panic, and then he smiled and patted his son on the shoulder: "Midi, you have done a good job, since the parliamentarians have completely ignored honor and faith, then there is no need for us to abide by the previous agreement." I'll take care of the rest!"

It's probably the first time I've been praised by my father like this, right?Midi smiled with satisfaction, and nodded.

Although he has memories of the next twenty years, he is still a little bit of a person at present, and in the eyes of others, Midi is still the one who lacks a sense of responsibility and ability, and he can do it to this extent.

Moreover, Midi believes that his father will definitely be able to get the family out of the current quagmire. And what you have to do is to make those things that belong to you perfect.

"Father, I would like to ask Loterrand to purchase some rare materials, please allow me. Midi thought for a moment and then said, "The main thing is to concoct a potion to increase endurance and vitality, you know, you know that you are about to go to the academy for trial." ”

"It's still with Miss Fina, the daughter of the Hamilton family. The Count looked thoughtful.

If it was said that Midi was originally a stumbling block for the Congressional faction to break into Fina's team, then now, in the case of a complete break between the Congressional faction and the family, this matter has undergone a fundamental change. The Asrex family is nothing more than an earldom and always needs a backer, and now, the queen faction is the best choice.

If Midi could truly be called the help of that young lady, the negotiation between the families would be much easier. Sensing that his son's vision had really broadened, Count Ingman's eyes showed relief, and then, he nodded angrily: "Go and do it, if you need anything, just go and tell Lotram that your father will fully support you." ”

Hardener, Blooddropstone, Soul Crystal, Mandala Flower, Shadow Grass...... All kinds of high-priced materials were gathered in just half a day, and then sent to the magic laboratory in the castle one after another. Although father and son were no longer in the same relationship as in the previous life, Count Ingman's doting was still the same.

Although Midi was a little uncomfortable with his father's excessive spoiling, he now needed this complete trust and indulgence.

If you want to say something, because what Midi is going to do next is not to refine any stamina potion vitality potion at all.

At dusk, after dinner, Midi acted as if the experiment had reached a critical juncture, and told Loterrand not to let anyone disturb him. Then, he counted the contents of the package, silently opened the window on the third floor, and threw down a rope that had been prepared long ago.

The castle's defenses have been significantly strengthened, apparently due to the fear of what the Seth family will do in secret. It's just that for Midi, who has lived here for more than ten years and has many years of adventure experience, it is not a problem at all.

It didn't take much effort for him to escape the sight of the guards and leave the castle through the inconspicuous passage where the garbage was usually transported.

Under the cold moonlight, Midi walked alone in the icy winter nights, carrying the adventurer's heavy backpack and wearing a broadsword suitable for battle.

His destination was not far from the castle, a canyon thirty kilometers away. The terrain is precipitous, lacks vegetation, and is very barren, not to mention the aristocracy, and even the hunters rarely visit, which can be called the inaccessible track.

But Midi knew that there was a cave in the canyon in which there was a broken sword with iron chains.

On that sword, there are ghosts and gods attached.

In the previous life, when the army of the Delos Empire broke through the county and plundered everywhere, with the death of his father and the old butler as everyone, Midi fled from the castle in a panic, and finally ended up in the canyon, and then found the ghosts and gods, which gave him the power to protect himself, and finally fought his way out.

It's just that the awakening at that time was far from perfect.

It's not so much an awakening as the ghosts and gods trying to fight for control of Midi's body, and then they are resisted by the boy's consciousness. Coupled with the fact that the Empire's search party attacked again in the process, the battle was interrupted in the middle of the process, and the fusion rate between the host and the ghosts has always been low.

As a result, for the next ten years, Midi struggled to use many of the skills reserved for ghost swordsmen.

But even so, the ghost god attached to his left arm still provided great assistance to Midi, a ghost swordsman who turned halfway through the monkhood, and even helped him defeat many ghost swordsmen who had become famous for a long time, including Fenrir, who was known as the first ghost swordsman at that time.

Looking back now, Midi was able to estimate that the ghost god hidden in the broken sword was definitely a rare superlative.

In addition, his rebirth seems to be related to the power condensed by the ghost god at the most rebirth, so Midi has already made up his mind after being reborn to fuse with the ghost god as soon as possible, and then as a ghost swordsman, he will transfer in the largest magic circle in the Principality of Belmar to achieve perfect results.

When the time comes, what kind of strength will you have?

Just thinking about it, I think it's worth looking forward to.

A few hours later, Midi finally found himself in the canyon.

There are rocks everywhere, the ground is cracked from time to time, there is little vegetation, and there is not a single water source, so there is no animal activity in sight. In the cold pale cyan moonlight, it looked like a gateway to the abyss, or a silent graveyard where the dead slumbered.

It's coming!

Midi tightened his coat and walked towards the depths of the canyon, even though he had only been to this place once in his life, but the memories of that time were so vivid that hardly a single detail was missed. However, despite knowing the location of the cave, he suppressed his excitement and waited cautiously for half an hour to figure out if anyone was following him, and only after confirming that he would not be disturbed did he enter the cave.

Walking along the damp stone path strewn with stalactites, sometimes through gaps so narrow that you had to turn sideways, sometimes crawling into hard-to-find holes, at last, Midi's vision suddenly opened up.

It's a vast cavern deep underground, where the underground river reveals its veins, creating a tranquil lake, a speck of moonlight leaking through the cracks of the zenith, and fluorescent moss glowing orange from the stone walls, making the space seem like a dream.

And in the middle of the lake, on a small island of white gravel, a broken sword was stuck in the sand, and beside it, an ancient chain made of unknown material snaked its way.

For a moment, Midi only felt that her entire consciousness was drawn to the past, and her heartbeat was synchronized.

The ghosts and gods are here.

Midi suppressed the excitement and excitement in his heart, and did not immediately walk over, but stopped at the shore of the lake, and then took out the various potions and materials that had been concocted during the day from his backpack.

He had to prepare first.

In most cases, the fusion of the swordsman and the demon god is sudden and without warning, and before you know it, the left arm is parasitized with the ghost god, and then the mutation. This is the simple process by which most ghost swordsmen are born.

And like the previous life of Midi, the fusion that occurred in the worst case can be said to be extremely unlucky.

However, at this moment, Midi clearly knew that the ghosts and gods were in front of him, and he was mentally prepared.

More importantly, he also knew that in the case of being able to anticipate the suitable parasitism of ghosts and gods, there is a way to improve the degree of integration between ghosts and gods and the body, and even make the two complement each other to achieve the effect of perfect integration.

This is another woman who loves her deeply, and is on a par with the Queen of Magic Bullets, the knowledge that Alice the Witch of the Mist has taught to Midi.

Of the three, Alice is the most knowledgeable and has the most powerful magic, and if Fina, the queen of magic bullets, is the banner that leads the Falcon Regiment, then the Witch of the Mist is the mainstay who silently supports the rear.

It's a pity that ghosts and gods can't be separated, even if it's a fog witch with great powers, all she can do is to reduce the conflict between ghosts and gods and the host as much as possible through medicine and magic circles, and improve the degree of integration between Midi and ghosts little by little.

But now it was different, and Midi had the time, the place, and the knowledge gained through rebirth.

This time, Midi wants to fuse the ghosts and gods perfectly, and do what the ghost swordsmen of the past and present have never done!
