Chapter Forty-Eight: Short Knife Cicada Wings
After Xu Xiao left Lao Tie's blacksmith shop, he went directly back to the inn where he was staying, and waited until dinner in the evening before getting up and going to the blacksmith shop again.
When he walked to Lao Tie's side, he found that Lao Tie was already standing at the door, so Xu Xiao stepped forward directly and asked, "Master Lao Tie, has the boy's short knife been beaten?"
However, Lao Tie glanced at Xu Xiao with some displeasure and said, "I don't know if it's your kid's luck or my bad luck, okay, it's just not long ago." Come in with me and have a look. Lao Tie said, and turned around and walked directly towards the house.
Xu Xiao didn't say much when he saw this, and followed in three or two steps. As soon as I entered the door, there was a strong smell of carbon, rust and molten iron. Seeing the furnishings in this room, no one would despise this middle-aged man who struck iron. Uniform tools, just orderly placement, and those who work hard, this is not the infectious power that ordinary people can have, at least Xu Xiao thinks that he does not have this ability.
"That's it. Lao Tie said lightly, and then picked up a pitch-black short knife on the desk. This knife is one foot and three inches, only the edge of the knife is opened, but I don't know what material it is made of, it is actually pitch black, if you don't look closely, you will definitely not see that it is opened, it can be said to be a sharp weapon of assassin killers.
"Good knife!" Xu Xiao looked at the knife and couldn't help but praise: "Master Tie, I don't know how you built this knife? ”
Lao Tie was naturally a little happy when he heard Xu Xiao's praise, picked up the short knife from the desk, and said to Xu Xiao: "This knife is made of ink stone used to build the city, you must know that this ink stone is extremely hard, even if you cut it with a knife, you can't hurt it in the slightest." You said you were a killer, so I put a little steel into it to make the knife edge easy to open, but I don't know why, when the knife was quenched, it suddenly exploded. Although it didn't hurt the knife body, and it can be said that this explosion blew up all the impurities on the knife body, so it was a blessing in disguise, right?"
After listening to Lao Tie's explanation, Xu Xiao looked at the short knife again, and sure enough, the edge of the knife was as thin as a cicada's wings, very delicate, and the entire knife body also revealed a trace of cold light. It's just that what Xu Xiao doesn't understand is that since this knife is so perfect, Lao Tie still says that he is unlucky?
Just thinking about it, the old iron spoke again: "It's just good, although the explosion didn't hurt the knife body, but it blew up the old man! ”
Xu Xiao couldn't help but laugh secretly when he heard this, it turned out that this was the case, but it was not difficult for Lao Tie to make this knife so perfect, and it was not difficult to invite him to have a drink.
"That's nature, that's nature, Master Iron, go now. Xu Xiao saluted Lao Tie and ran towards the restaurant not far away.
"This kid is kind of funny, but this short knife is really a masterpiece, and I need to make a template for it as a souvenir. Lao Tie said, and ran to the gypsum with a short knife to make a mold.
When Xu Xiao came back from buying wine, Lao Tie had already made the mold and hung it up. Seeing this, Xu Xiao couldn't help but ask, "Master Tie, what is this for?"
Lao Tie glanced at Xu Xiao angrily and said: "I helped you build weapons, and I can't keep them after I create good things, don't you allow the old man to make a mold as a souvenir?"
Xu Xiao couldn't help but laugh after listening to Lao Tie's explanation, this kind of thing is also human nature, I heard others say that the ironsmith's feelings for the things he created are very deep, and it is not a strange thing to look like Lao Tie.
"That's natural, Master Iron, I bought you wine. Xu Xiao put the bamboo leaf in his hand on the desk in front of Lao Tie and said lightly.
As soon as Lao Tie heard that the wine was bought, his tone towards Xu Xiao was much better: "Haha, good, good! You can take this short knife, but the scabbard is gone, I think you should not make a scabbard, you should still keep this knife close to you." ”
Although Xu Xiao was puzzled when he heard this, he still nodded, after all, Lao Tie naturally had his intentions when he said this. "Master Lao Tie, I don't know what grade this short knife is?"
After listening to Xu Xiao's words, Lao Tie glanced at Xu Xiao lightly and said, "Fanpin." ”
Xu Xiao listened, although it was expected, but the disappointed look was still in Lao Tie's view.
"Why? Aren't you disappointed? Mortals like us can only create mortal weapons, but don't underestimate mortal weapons, otherwise you will suffer at a loss. Lao Tie saw Xu Xiao's emotions and said like this.
Xu Xiao smiled relievedly and didn't say anything. However, Lao Tie understood Xu Xiao's meaning wrongly, and said in a deep voice: "What?
"No, no, Master Tie, you misunderstood, I didn't ask for anything else, but it was enough to have such a good short knife. Xu Xiao hurriedly explained.
"Xiao Li, go, bring me a spiritual weapon!" Lao Tie shouted, only to hear a subordinate behind him respond, and after a while, he took down a long sword from the shelf, only to see that the long sword seemed to be surrounded by spiritual energy, and the essence light appeared, it must be a spiritual weapon.
Lao Wang picked up the short knife from the desk and said to Xu Xiao: "Boy, take this sword, let me tell you, what is this short knife!"
Xu Xiao reluctantly took the long sword handed over by Lao Tie and sighed: "Master Lao Tie, you really misunderstood what I meant, I don't have that idea in the future, I am really grateful that you can help me build this short knife." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, the old man will convince you today! Look at the knife!" Lao Tie shouted, and raised the knife to cut, leaving no room for Xu Xiao to breathe.
Xu Xiao kept parrying helplessly, and found that this old iron was not a simple blacksmith, he was still a practitioner, and his cultivation was not low, at least Xu Xiao's current strength could not perceive his true strength.
Several young men who were fighting on the side came around, they rarely saw Lao Tie make a move, and today somehow he actually started with this man who didn't look very big, how could he not be curious?
After Lao Tie slashed dozens of knives in one go, he roared: "Be careful! Hey!" Lao Tie slashed at the long sword in Xu Xiao's hand, only to hear a crisp sound, a click. The long sword in Xu Xiao's hand instantly turned into two halves, and Xu Xiao took the remaining half of the long sword in his hand that was missing more than a dozen cracks. I looked at the short knife in a daze, not knowing what to say.
"How is it, boy, now you know how powerful this mortal weapon is?" Lao Tie said with a playful smile as he played with the short knife in his hand.
"Master Lao Tie, how can this short knife ......" Xu Xiao wanted to speak and stopped, the shock brought to Xu Xiao by this short knife was too great, a mortal short knife actually cut off the spirit weapon alive, what kind of workmanship does it take to do this?
"What? Where is everything in this world that can be determined by a word or two, and a level in the mouth? Do you say that you can kill a person who is stronger than you?" Lao Tie looked at Xu Xiao playfully and said.
Xu Xiao thought about it, and still said: "If you use all your strength, it's still okay." ”
Lao Tie smiled and said: "That's it, this weapon is also a truth, even if it is a mortal weapon, it depends on how to use it." This knife doesn't have a name yet, so take one yourself. Lao Tie said, then threw the short knife to Xu Xiao and went to do something else.
Xu Xiao took the short knife and weighed it in his hand, it was really very light! Even though Lao Tie said that he added stainless steel and then made it of ink stone, he still couldn't feel how heavy this short knife was.
"That being the case. Then call you cicada wings, okay?" Xu Xiao said, smiled, and was about to leave Lao Tie's blacksmith shop, but was stopped by Lao Tie.
"Young man, I forgot to tell you, you knife, it's better to kill less. Lao Tie's deep voice sounded in Xu Xiao's ears.
Xu Xiao was stunned when he heard this, but for some reason, he hurriedly asked, "Why did Master Tie say that?"
Lao Tie was silent for a while and said: "Since this knife is made of ink stone, that's why I said this, you also know that this ink stone will become stronger when it enters the blood, but the problem is here." ”
"The kid is puzzled, please advise. Xu Xiao saluted Lao Tie and said respectfully.
"To put it simply, this short knife is indeed a killing weapon, but as more and more blood enters it, it will produce blood spirits, and once blood spirits are generated, it is very likely to erode your sanity, and then you will become crazy and murderous. Lao Tie's words were like a giant hammer, hitting Xu Xiao's heart fiercely.
Isn't that the same as the Mind Eater Spell?
"Is there no way?" Xu Xiao still likes this short knife very much, and it is not a problem if he wants to give it up, but it is a pity.
"There is a way, but it is more difficult, if you only kill ghosts and evil spirits, there is no problem, once you see blood, it will be out of control. Unless you can inject the artifact spirit of other weapons into it, assimilate the blood spirit, and play a role in diversion. Lao Tie thought about it and told Xu Xiao the method.
"Devouring Weapon Spirit??Only weapons above the aura can devour the Weapon Spirit, this short knife ......" Xu Xiao looked at Lao Tie in confusion and couldn't help asking.
"That's right, how can my Lao Tie's weapon be mortal? This knife is much more precious than those aura, you will find out in the future, if I tell you all now, wouldn't it be fun?" Lao Tie's uninhibited laughter was very twisted in Xu Xiao's ears.
Before Xu Xiao could say anything, Lao Tie had already turned around and was busy with his own business, and he didn't seem to want to talk to Xu Xiao about this short knife.
Seeing Lao Tie, Xu Xiao could only take a breath of talk, turned around and walked away.
