Blood Princess and the Knight

"Okay?" Randy was stunned. As a former knight, he was neither too disabled nor too old. Unnormal retirements were often criticized. Now that he sees his former benefactor still wearing knight armor, he feels guilty. Difficult.

"It is naturally good to stay away from officialdom and have a calm mind.'

"My benefactor, are you still working in the temple?" The armor on Ji Bai's body seemed to bring back Randy's memories, and his expression was a little complicated.

“I never mentioned that I was a member of the clergy and had been retired for a long time.

"My benefactor, you have been retired for a long time? But, aren't you still wearing armor?"

"Is there a direct connection between being a knight and wearing armor?" Ji Bai asked rhetorically.

"Uh-huh, Randy scratched his head. There is indeed no explicit rule that only knights can wear knight armor. At first, he thought Ji Bai was a senior member of the Temple Association. After this level of identity was overturned, he could not understand it more and more. Who is Ji Bai?

"My benefactor came to the border town today. Is there anything important that needs to be done? Uh-huh, don't get me wrong. I'm just asking casually. Maybe I can help." Randy tried to ask.

"My sword is broken. I heard that the blacksmith shop in the south of the city has excellent craftsmanship, so I came here because of its reputation." Ji Bai slightly opened the bag in his hand. Revealing the blade fragments within. "I just heard that the owner of this blacksmith shop has a weird temper, is arrogant, and doesn't bother to serve the common people.

"Hey? Is this the shop my benefactor wants to visit? I told you earlier, this shop is opened by my uncle. If my benefactor wants to repair castings, just give me a shout."

"Is that so?" It's rare for someone to give you a pillow when you want to sleep. I was worried about not being able to find a qualified blacksmith shop, so the 'key' was given to me?

"Is that okay? It won't interfere with the shop owner's work, right?"

"No, no, it's easy for my uncle to talk." Randy waved his hand, took out a bunch of keys from his pocket, checked them briefly and stuffed them in.

Accompanied by the sound of the door shaft turning, the thick anti-theft glass door was slowly pushed open.

“Then I’ll excuse you for a moment.

"My benefactor is so polite. My uncle loves me. Knowing that you are the benefactor who saved me, I will definitely agree readily. I can't guarantee anything else. My uncle's forging technology is in the border town, and even the entire human federation is unparalleled. Secondly, when the family members of the Temple Association are looking for a swordsmith, my uncle is the first choice." Despite Randy's boasting, Ji Bai remained silent.

After opening the door, he followed Randy into the store without hesitation.

He still trusted the character of this young knight and had a certain fondness for him, otherwise he would not have stepped forward and taken the risk to save their group of pioneer knights from the execution ground. or worker small l ) c

It's sultry and hot, even though it's the season of crisp autumn air. The four walls completely block the autumn wind, preventing any autumn from penetrating.

Due to the long-term high temperature, the walls were covered with wrinkles and uneven mud, and the pure white color was dyed gray and black under the smoke and fire.

Hanging all kinds of weapons for sale and display is something that almost every blacksmith shop will do. This blacksmith shop is destined to be a place. There is nothing hanging on the bare walls, the only hanging decorations. The clock keeps ticking. ζSee↑ba↑Read↑Booksζ

The room is not small, and the layout is slightly empty. Apart from the necessary daily necessities, there are only two wooden beds and a pair of tables and chairs. Under the stairs, which probably leads to the basement, the room is used as a living area and there is no ironware. Or blacksmith tools such as iron furnaces, which should be in the basement.

The sound of forging echoed throughout the room and came from the basement.

Under Randy's guidance, the sound of forging and knocking came from far to near, and the outline of the stone steps was smoothed. Time has left many traces here.

In the huge basement, a shirtless man was sitting next to the stove, hammering a red-hot iron tool.

"Xiao Di, have you bought the materials? Put them somewhere. By the way, throw the utensils on the iron table into the cooling pool to cool down." The rough voice ordered without looking back.

Uncle, guests are coming. Randy whispered into the big man's ear.

"What kind of customers? Tell them that I have been in seclusion recently and will no longer take orders. Even the head of the big temple family can't force me to work, right? Don't let them in." The big man spoke angrily.

"Uncle, you are not one of those dignitaries, and I have already brought in the guests.

"What? ?" The big man glanced behind him. The ferocious scar was like a long curved reptile, squirming along with the facial muscles.

I haven't been taking orders lately. "After just a glance, the big man withdrew his gaze and continued to focus on forging the iron tool that was about to be formed.

Randy felt that he was losing face. "Uncle, he is

"It's a knight, right?" The big man received it before Randy could speak. "What's wrong with being a knight? There's nothing rare about a priesthood that can be easily accomplished by just memorizing the dictionary and rules. Haven't you guys been one for a while?"

"Wear a pair of armor in the city. I'm afraid that no one will know you are a knight. Don't be a gangster there. Leave quickly. I'm still polite to you now. If you don't leave, I will drive you away!" the big man said. With a loud voice, the sound was even louder than the noisy sound of blacksmithing.

"Uncle, this Mr. Knight is my benefactor! Have you forgotten the incident in the border town that I told you? In order to save the lives of him and Lao Gang, this Mr. Knight

But he even lost his official position. Guang Mu j now

"Oh? Is that so?" The big man then looked at Ji Bai with a serious look, put down the hammer and forging tool and stood up. "You saved Xiao Di and the others? And you were demoted to civilians?

"

"Yes, but it's not as serious as what he said. I was not demoted to

"Okay, okay, it's time to - code is - code, so I hate dealing with you knights. I have to make three twists and turns to be humble when I say a word. Are you tired? There are so many things to pay attention to when speaking. , Are you going to let others live?" The big man waved his hand impatiently, interrupting Ji Bai's words.

"Although your speech is fancy and not straightforward, you can be regarded as a good knight for the people. Well, I don't care about people like you. Are you coming to me to make swords or repair swords? To put it bluntly, as long as I can help I'm busy." The big man rolled up his sleeves and moved his stiff arms a little.

"Excuse me, I would like to ask you, sir, to help repair this sword. This sword is a little special. Many blacksmiths say they can't.

"In this line of work, if you don't have superb skills, you won't dare to take orders casually. Bring it here. I want to see what kind of sword it is made of. They are so crazy about it." The big man seemed to be interested and took it. The package handed over by Ji Bai.

The firelight from the stove reflected the big man's frown. He took out a fragment of the sword blade and tapped it tentatively with a hammer.

The hammer head was suddenly bounced back.

He silently put away the hammer and sighed deeply. "This sword is not something I have the ability to forge, or in other words, it is not something a human swordsmith can forge.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. I've been studying the art of blacksmithing for many years, but I can't tell what the material of this sword is.

"It's not ryu wood, it's not dark steel, it's not lacquer wood or magic scales. I can't even see through the material, so how can I talk about repairing it? The big man sighed and shook his head.

"Uncle, can't you even fix it? No way, it might just be forged and recast. How will you know if you don't try?" Randy looked in disbelief.

"Try, try it! You kid, a layman, what are you talking about here? ? Melting and recasting can be melted if you want? ? If you don't do it well, you won't even think about leaving these fragments!" The big man! He glared hard at Randy.

"What's worse, if the high temperature cannot affect the structure of the sword, the sword will be completely wasted and returned to Ji Bai. "I am irresponsible to tell you that I can go back to the furnace and rebuild it, and then use this sword as a waste. The sword was thrown into the furnace and recast, but in this way, the sword was completely destroyed. After being recast, it would definitely be worse than before.

"Uncle, listening to what you mean, is it possible to recast and repair this sword?

"Yes, there is, but the hope is slim." The big man glanced at Randy, who was curious. "I also said that this sword is beyond the technical scope of human blacksmiths. This is not my excuse for my incompetence. This is the fact. This sword is definitely not made by human hands. If you don't believe it, there is nothing I can do.

"You said, is there still a possibility of repairing it?" He must be able to repair this sword, at least he is the only one I can think of. But this is probably impossible. "

"The old man has a weird temper. I don't think you are a talkative person. You probably won't be able to cope with the old man's weird temper."

"Uncle, didn't you say that this sword is not within the scope of human beings?"

"Are you kidding me? Did I say that the old man is human?" The big man rolled his eyes at Randy angrily.

"Not human?

"You'll know when you go there, but don't hold out any hope. I've talked to the old man several times and I know something about him." The big man explained. "Although the surrounding humane villages are under the direct jurisdiction of the federation, once they leave the border town and leave the protection of the barrier, the human federation will not be responsible for the lives and safety of their villagers. Most of the people living there are some Poor people who have no money to move to the towns.

“The kind that are so poor that even demons don’t bother to loot them.

"These are extraordinary times. You have to think clearly whether it is worth doing this. This trip is very likely to come back in vain. Once you leave the border town, you won't be surprised what happens."

"Thank you for your advice, sir. In that case, I'll take my leave now. Excuse me." The matter has come to this, and there is no point in staying here any longer.

"Wait a minute." The big man behind him called to Ji Bai.

"Is there anything else?" Ji Bai turned around.

"After all, I was once a knight. This armor looks really shabby. I can't help you. It's within my ability to give you a decent set of armor."

"Stop trembling, you are so embarrassed. You saved my incompetent nephew. I just don't want to owe you a favor." The big man walked into the inner room while waving his hand, and walked out with the sound of iron tools clashing. .

A set of full-body plate armor, made of pure silver, shines brightly under the firelight, shining brightly.

Although Ji Bai is not a forger, he has worn all kinds of armor during his years of military service, and the quality can be seen at a glance.

This armor is definitely of high quality, and it seems to have enchanting effects. "Shen

"Here, take it. Among the blacksmiths in the entire human federation, you can't find anyone who can make armor of higher quality than this one. Not only that, this armor is also equipped with [Resistance Enchantment], which can withstand - times Spell attack."

"I got this from a demon merchant in exchange for precious metals. It's very valuable!

"Uncle, didn't you make this armor?"

"Of course not! I'm just a blacksmith, not an enchanter. Do I have no way to learn such fancy stuff like enchantment?" The old man's face turned red and he retorted strongly.

"The so-called sword matches a hero, I see how you look

Although I don't look like a big shot, I'll just give it a try. Take it and treat it as a thank you gift for saving Xiao Di. "

"Thank you." Ji Bai did not refuse. To be honest, his body was as clean as a newborn baby after returning from the Forsaken Continent.

The end of the Lost Continent incident brought many changes to Ji Bai, but his dominant spirit remained unchanged.

No matter what, he has a strange obsession with armor. There were even rumors that "the Radiant Knight is a fetish".

The style of this armor is more human-like, and it seems to be used for transactions with humans.

The seams in the helmet are enough for people to see the scene directly in front of them. There are golden wings on both sides. The armor is all silver. It is a light plate armor. The core of the xiōng armor is a heavy metal plate. The abdomen is mostly made of iron chains. It is intended to reduce the weight of the armor. The design Quite reasonable.

After quickly taking off his old leather armor and putting on new armor, Ji Bai walked out of the shop with a brief thank you.

Miss, your Excellency has sent us a message to go back as soon as possible. These are extraordinary times, as you know

"Extraordinary times?" The girl looked at the cautious servant with interest. Her face was covered by a butterfly mask, and her slender and long ice-blue hair was hanging down, like a cold spring with three thousand blue drops.

"In my eyes, there are no extraordinary times, only opportunities.

"This is an extraordinary time for them as prey. I can feel that they are as panicked and breathing rapidly as the elk hiding in this jungle.'

"The koi carp disguised in the fish school is very passive now. They want to try their best to eliminate our suspicion. Do you think they will make a big move rashly under this situation?"

"Although this is the case, it's better to be cautious. I always feel that the atmosphere in this forest is a bit...
