Carrying a hammer that looked as cumbersome as he was, Spold was splattering a spark of fiery red iron.

A sick teenager crouched on a bench and watched in silence as Spud worked.

Spold was a blacksmith of great name, at least in Usutan, and there was no one who did not know his name.

Anyone who wields the sword he forges will not be mediocre.

He has a secret that has never been passed down, and it is this secret that allows him to forge the weapons that are famous in the world.

He was undoubtedly fat, but he was a bear-like fat, he was stout and short, the muscles in his arms were as big as his head, and the hammer he wielded in his hand was not something that anyone could lift casually.

At this time, the sky was not yet dawn, and Usutan seemed to be shrouded in a dark darkness. The boy was on the bench, also feeling repulsed by this cold environment.

With the help of the flying firelight, his eyes fell on the intelligence message that was pressed by the oil lamp, and the light flashed, and he saw that it was written, 1.23, the power was disappearing.......

"Man, I'm going to go to the gate later, I heard something is going on there. Spold read the intelligence with his eyes, "You stay here by yourself and don't run around, it's not very safe here now." ”

He sighed, stuck the iron bar into the gray gravel, took his hat, and put on his coat and went out.

It was snowing heavily, and the wind poured in as the door opened, knocking over the lamp that was holding the information leaflet.

At this point, except for the charcoal fire in the forge, the building was completely darkened. But then, Xia Ming only heard a click of some kind of opening and closing, and a bright beam of light hit from the top of his head.

More than a dozen tungsten lamps lit up a steady light at the same time, illuminating the space without a trace of darkness.

Spold said to Xia Ming: "The electric switch is here, help me turn it off after dawn, these wicks are easy to burn out." ”

He stood in the corner of the door, with an electric valve switch nailed to the wall on one side.

"Also, don't go to the back door, you'll be struck by lightning. ”

When Sparter finished explaining, he quickly closed the door. Stepping on the snow piled up during the night, he headed in the direction of the city gate. He carried a sword and a shotgun for self-defense. Those who received the information sheet early in the morning must have felt uneasy at this moment.

Usutan is located to the north, and in winter, sunrise is delayed until 10:53. At this time in the past, this Tongye Lane may not be as deserted as it is now.

Walking to the street, which seemed to be sloping down from the sky, Spold saw blood stains on the snow. He crouched down and leaned the bottle closer, the blood clot had solidified, crimson in what appeared to be human blood.

"Master Spold!"

His name was called, and a line of armored soldiers trotted over and surrounded him.

"Lao Li!" Spold stood up and greeted one of the bearded guards.

"What's going on?" he looked at the part of the wall, where a large number of guards occupied the high ground, the flames of the torches neatly facing south.

"I don't know how to describe it, anyway, you better see it with your own eyes!" said Guard Elder Li.

The guards followed them, and Lao Li led him to the city gate. There were also soldiers lined up outside the gate, and they had to do so, because the bronze gate, which was thick and heavy to the eye could tell with the eye, had a hollow in one side.

"The boys who defended the city last night were all bad. Lao Li sighed.

Spold stepped forward and pulled the motor gate, only to hear the smacking of the rotor as the chain tightened violently.

"Good solution. He said.

"Really?" said Lao Li excitedly.

"Just put some people on guard every night from now on," Spurd said. ”

"What...... What about the door!" Lao Li, who was breathing a sigh of relief, widened his eyes as if he had heard a horror story.

"The door doesn't need to be repaired. "As the intel says, the power is gone, and the door is melted down, and even if it is repaired countless times, it will be useless." ”

The bronze door was recessed inward, showing signs of corrosion, and Spold wrapped it in a handkerchief and broke off a piece of corrosion from above.

The metal didn't melt very completely......

"In other words, it's a ...... Or more than one hybrid creature. ”

Lao Li pressed the hilt of his sword and said, "We found the footprints of two kinds of scale demons on the city wall, this monster is fast, has a keen sense of smell, and the danger level is blue. Those guards may have been lax and died. ”

He said with a wrinkled face, looking distressed.

"Looks like you've got troublesome things to do, and it will always be in trouble in the future. Spold took out a cigarette from his pocket and patted Lao Li on the shoulder comfortingly, "Don't worry, buddy, I'll take care of the city gate." I've figured out a way to make them more corrosion-resistant, but you have to be careful. Because the power is passing away, big trouble is coming. If something happens to the territory, not only us, but all the guard families will be in trouble. Did you report this matter to the head of the family?"

"No, not yet, but they should have received this morning's information. Also, I heard that Miss is back?"

"Yes...... How do I not know. ”

Then the two looked at each other and laughed tacitly.

Spold asked, "What are you going to do with those two scaly demons?" those guys must be hiding in some corner, and before the sun comes out, maybe they will do it again." ”

"I know I know, the problem is that we haven't found any other signs of them, it snowed a lot last night, and it's unlikely to get better for the next month. ”

"These guys will glide for a short time, and if they dare to hide inside, send someone to check some of the taller structures like the rooftops. ”

"We're good at dealing with this kind of guy. ”

Spold pulled his hat again, turned around, glanced at the dark city walls, and said, "These buildings are too old, maybe only in our eyes have not been obsolete." ”

What a pleasant light, the smell of kerosene was hidden everywhere in the warehouse, a large gear turned and stopped, stopped and stopped, and every time in a while, the curved saw blade-like teeth would move up a grid, and sure enough, when it reached a certain position, it suddenly fell down, and then the clear bell followed the internal structure of the warehouse, and transmitted to every corner of it.

It's a mechanical pendulum clock, oddly shaped, with exceptionally prominent parts, and it looks like it's made by itself. However, Xia Ming was soon stunned by his own thoughts, if these mechanical clocks were not made by themselves, could they still be made by gods. Every object presented in the world, which is not the unique idea of the craftsman.

He was there looking at the information bill when a sleepy yawn came.

When Xia Ming found his master, he almost fell off the bench.

"Ah, you're awake......"

The girl quickly hid behind the next door, and because she had just woken up, her hair was disheveled, and her demeanor was extremely embarrassing.

Su Lingxuan, he heard the voice, he was a little uneasy, knowing that he owed this girl more and more.

In a courtyard, the servants were shoveling away the snow from last night, and they were all dressed in black, when a white shadow flashed and disappeared, and then there was movement in the lobby.

I only heard a gentle voice say slowly, "Elders, according to the contract, you can apply for retirement when you reach the age of forty, it seems that it is time to abdicate and make way for Xian." ”

There were five elders seated in the hall, all of whom were dressed in noble black robes and who were also of noble age. Their faces were wrinkled, and they could almost be described as old and even old, and they were at least twice as old as forty.

Listening to the brazen words of the man in front of him, he wanted to anger them to death.

"I disagree. ”

The old men were surprisingly unanimous.

The Great Elder is the oldest and has the best right to speak, he said: "Su Tiancheng, before the younger generation really grows up, you have to stand in this position for at least ten years, and you can't go anywhere in these ten years." ”

Although the second elder is not as old as the eldest elder, as the Zhijin of the previous generation, he is loved by the younger generations of countless families. "Su Tiancheng, take out the information in your arms, although we are too old to walk, but our ears can still call, what has happened in the past few days, do you think we don't know, so bear to put the burden on the shoulders of the juniors. ”

Su Tiancheng really took out a list from his arms, but he had expected it, and replaced it with the trivial things in the castle in advance, and he wanted to anger the rhythm of these old immortals.

"Yes, what happened today, I thought that in the past few years, the politics have been harmonious, and the wind and rain have been smooth, and I plan to let the back take over......"

The second elder didn't bother with him, "I heard that Xiaoxuan is back, where is she now, how can she not come back to meet our old immortals?"

"Yes? I don't know. This group of old immortals asked knowingly, and Su Tiancheng dealt with it casually.

A crow with the Wu family crest landed in the Su family's compound, and the servant who cleaned the snow saw the crow and hurriedly took down the letter it was carrying and sent it to the hall.

This servant was naturally Su Tiancheng's "henchman", but the Great Elder's eyes were sharp, and when he saw him sneakily coming up, he shouted, "Take it." ”

With that, the Great Elder had left his seat, stood before the servant, snatched the letter, and opened it himself.

Su Tiancheng also leaned behind the Great Elder and secretly glanced at the content of the letter.

"The Witch Realm Envoy will visit in three days—Wu Huan"

"News is fast!"

The Great Elder put away the letter, and his voice became majestic, "The Wu Clan is good at divination, and this sudden visit must have been expected. ”

The Great Elder turned around and faced the other four elders, and said slowly, "If I'm not mistaken, it's likely that the creator of the Heavenly Tribulation Incident has come to our Usutan. In addition, the record of entering and leaving the main city gate in the past few days is only the record of the unregistered name two days ago. If that's the case, it's likely that the Tribulation Maker was brought back by Xiao Xuan. ”

"Now I'm going to bring Xiaoxuan back immediately. The second elder said.

"I'll come, I'll come. Su Tiancheng also squeezed into this group of old men.

"No need, I'll let the old butler go, you stay well, and get ready to welcome the messengers of the Twelve Guardian Families. The Great Elder's voice was cold, and he shook the unfashionable family master with his sleeve.
