Fangyi, the old town

By the time we got into the dark hole of Old Town, it was already dark. It's not been ten days since I last saw my father. There was no muffled roar in the cavern, and there was not a trace of steam.

But as soon as he got out of the cave, Bai Ye heard a squirming sound from inside.

The three elders of Fengyan, Jin Luo, and Fire Whisper have really been out of the customs.

The three pale, long-haired, chest-length old men walked quickly towards the entrance of the cave, looking at Bai Ye's eyes full of smiles.

Thinking of so many things that had happened in just a few days, Bai Ye was also a little excited to see the elders at this time. He saluted respectfully and looked up, but glanced at the weapon rack beside him.

"You're fat. ”

"You're dark. ”

"You've lost weight. ”

......

In small matters, the Great Elder of Fengyan and the Third Elder of Fire Whisper will never be able to reach an agreement. Of course, in the decades they've lived together, few things have been a big deal.

And the thinking of the second elder of Jin Luo is never on the same line as anyone else.

"Your birthday present is ready!

Bai Ye didn't care about responding to the second elder's concern, waved his hands repeatedly, and motioned to himself to say first, "Don't talk about gifts yet." The people of Ulva called, do you know?"

"Know...... Say, how else...... How did you get out of the customs in advance. Elder Firelanguage pursed his lips, "No...... There's no way, the backup spiritual source is ...... distance The big city is so close. As long as...... Rush over, sooner or later, it will be ...... Exposure. ”

Elder Feng muttered, "The Seventh Surnamed King has been dormant for more than ten years, and at this time, it is really a bit strange to suddenly join forces with those people in the Western Continent to attack in a big way. But no matter what, we can only hold on here. Two years later, there must be no room for failure in the ceremony. ”

Elder Jin rolled his eyes and said with a disdainful face, "Xiao Ye, are you afraid? ”

Bai Yexin said, didn't you see the overwhelming spirit beast...... And those super-level spirit beasts, are they just joking? Just a few of them are really enough for us to drink a pot.

However, he held back these words alive. He had a lot of special and more important things to ask.

After a bit of thinking, Bai Ye first took out the bone whistle.

"I've learned to use this. The Beast Venerable cultivated by the people of the Ul Kingdom used this whistle to control the spirit beast, but this one can only be controlled freely for a specific special plow.

The elders looked at each other for a moment. The Great Elder took the bone whistle, looked at it and stuffed it back into Bai Ye's hand, and said disdainfully, "This thing was invented by your father when he was a child. It seems that those old guys have not grown much, and the more they learn, the more crude they become. ”

"Ahh

"But it is said that they got tens of thousands of spirit beasts this time, where did they get so many secret magicians to do this work?"

"Wait, who's that old guy, older than you?"

Elder Fengyan replied, "It must be that the Western Continent has come over again. The group of people who chased and killed your father eighteen years ago are all dead, and it seems that they have not broken up the idea of returning to the Eastern Continent, and at some point another group of people secretly came. ”

Bai Ye was confused when he heard it, and he was about to ask again, but he was intercepted by the stumbling Fire Elder Elder who stumbled: "North...... Faced with the brutes...... Son, how ...... How did you come to the same ...... with them? Together?"

"Hmm. It's weird. A few years ago, when I heard that spirit beasts suddenly appeared in the north and spirit plants grew wildly, I felt that something was wrong. ”

The Great Elder's face became more and more gloomy: "But then again, the so-called blood sea feud was a matter of dozens of lifetimes ago, and we all know very well who this Thunder Emperor is now." It's not surprising to hook up with those Western Continenters who have returned to the Eastern Continent. ”

Bai Ye had almost never heard the elders talk about the people and affairs of the Western Continent, and it was the first time he had heard them comment on the Emperor of the Ul Kingdom. But it was difficult for him to pull back the words of the old people. So I secretly decided that I still had to find Amber to find out if I could understand.

He had more pressing things to ask.

"Do you know a relict master who can control the system, use earth-based secret arts, and also have poison-based secret arts?"

The three elders stared at each other and brushed their beards in unison.

"How...... What's wrong?"

"The Bereaved Family, do you mean those guys from the Nine Old Halls?"

The Western Continent secret magicians in the Lan army have always been hired from the Nine Old Sects. But Bai Ye always felt that things were not so simple: "Did you know the people of Jiu Lao Tang before?"

The Great Elder stroked his beard and slowly recalled, "We fought together twenty years ago. At that time, there were always dozens of pure-blooded Western Continent remnants in the army, and there were many people who were good at the soil system. As for poison, you kid also know that there is no secret technique of poison, but it is just a skill for the transformation and use of spiritual power. The so-called nectar of yours is arsenic of the other. Frost ......"

"People can recognize the craftsmanship of the three elders at a glance!" Bai Ye lifted his foot, although the leather boots were not well maintained, they were still as good as new.

"Ahaha......! After so many years of going out of the rivers and lakes, there are still people who can remember me...... I don't know if it's good...... It's still a bad thing. You say this man is a great ...... Guys over there?"

"No, he said that he had lived in Haizhou for a long time, concocted oil and supervised the torch stone car or something. This time I came with the Haizhou siege camp. ”

The Great Elder suddenly grabbed Bai Ye's arm: "This is even more wrong. Fangyi's current situation, Xiaobai will not tell anyone. Even for the people of Jiu Laotang, they will definitely be tight-lipped. ”

Bai Ye was stunned for a long time before he reacted, the "Xiaobai" in the elder's mouth was not Bai Lingyu, he was talking about the handsome Bai Changqi.

Elder Huoyu also pondered, and muttered with some surprise: "When you just fled to the East with your father, when you were in the East Continent, with those ...... There are many people who deal with the bereaved and people who are interested in us are also very ...... There are many, there are those who chase and worship, and those who worship the teacher also chase the ...... Martial arts. But, but nominally we are all eighteen years...... He died years ago...... Who?"

After a long time of no one paying attention, the second elder became a little impatient, and simply shouted: "Where is this person now? Inform Xiaobai, extinguish your mouth!"

As he spoke, he pulled Bai Ye out of the Great Elder's hand: "Come on, come on, stop chattering." Look at the gift I gave you. It took a lot of work, but I was able to do it!"

Elder Jin Luo couldn't wait to pull down the cloth on the weapon rack and stared at Bai Ye eagerly, his eyes full of anticipation.

Bai Ye didn't react for a while.

What is this?

Standing on the shelf is a metal pillar nearly four feet long and thigh-thick, the surface of which is finely engraved with intricate patterns, and the silk texture flows with the characteristic halo of wet silver.

Bai Ye didn't dare to move, he looked at the elders suspiciously: "This is?"

Jin Luo chuckled, he rubbed his hands and glanced at the two elders, "Little one, you see!" As he spoke, he grabbed the raised buckle in the middle of the pillar, stretched out his left arm straight out, and then pulled it into his arms with all his strength.

With a soft bang, the entire pillar changed shape, and the structure of the involution fully unfolded with the elder's movements, and seven metal sheets with slight arcs were firmly locked, forming a standard-sized half-body square shield.

Before Bai Ye could recover from his surprise, Elder Jin Luo threw the silver shield over vigorously. Bai Ye subconsciously held the shield with both hands, and led it to the side, and he wanted to unload the force.

But this time, he almost flashed his waist. When I first got into my hands, I didn't realize it, but when Bai Ye's upper body turned halfway, I realized that I had completely misestimated the weight.

This four-foot-tall and two-foot-wide metal square shield weighs only five or six pounds, and it is not even half the weight of the thick wooden shield used for training on weekdays.

Bai Ye pinched the edge of the shield in a daze, and carefully stroked the surface of the shield up and down. The craftsmanship of the elders has always been of a very high standard, the smooth and mirror-like shield surface is almost impossible to feel the seams, and the stiffeners and circlip buckles on the back of the shield are also tightly seamed, solid and firm.

But the shield is too thin.

The second elder seemed to have anticipated Bai Ye's reaction and confusion a long time ago, and he urged proudly and urgently: "Quickly put it on, quickly put it on." Try. ”

Bai Ye fastened the shield to his metal armguard. The buckles are perfectly matched, and the handshake is more comfortable. Still not reassured, he waved his arm slightly.

Fortunately, the shield will not loosen, shake or even fold, but his body has long been accustomed to the weight of thirteen catties of wooden shields, and now he is a little uncomfortable with this fluttering folding shield.

"It's so thin, can you carry it?"

As soon as the words came out, Bai Ye regretted it. The elders had stepped aside at some point, and the familiar sound of a mechanism could be heard in the cavern.

"Don't, don't rush. Elder Fire Whisper still stuttered a little when he was excited, "I, I, I'll send it again, you, weapons!"

As he spoke, he went straight between Bai Ye's torso and the shield, and broke a hidden buckle on the inside of the shield. Bai Ye twisted his eyebrows and raised his shield to let the elder's head go, took two steps back, and tentatively pressed the secret button.

A grip popped out of the upper edge of the shield.

What was pulled out was a four-edged square sword.

Bai Ye turned his wrist and danced a flower with satisfaction. His stature is moderate, but the strength contained in his body is far beyond ordinary people. Therefore, when I practiced various blades since I was a child, my favorite was blunt weapons such as hammers.

The new weapon in his hand had a few starspots shining on the dark gray surface, and it was impossible to tell what it was made of. The handle is three feet seven, and the weight is only about three catties.

Bai Ye suddenly realized that after pulling out the four-edged sword, the shield on his left arm was only three catties left!

Elder Firewhisper pushed Bai Ye's arm and motioned for him to go into the cave. Jin Luo clasped his hands and giggled, his eyes full of anticipation: "Go quickly, go quickly!"

Bai Ye smiled bitterly, I don't know how long the two elders studied before they came up with such a combination of weapons and armor.

Apparently Amber gave them a requirement for portability. However, if you go to the battlefield in the future, it looks like you can't save your life.

Suspicious, he stepped on the pedal of the starting point.

After a loud bang, Bai Ye's heart fell to the ground. There was no dentation, no loosening, the force of the heavy air was dispersed to the entire shield surface, and the shock was light enough.

Then he discovered something new.

The slowly retracted hammer was not the usual wooden mallet, it was a huge pig iron lump.

“...... How to change the real thing!"
