To the northwest, Sardin City is a land of undulating hills. At the end of the horizon, you can see a solitary mountain range, the mountain range is winding, and the peaks are separated from each other to form a valley, where is the famous valley of the dead. The valley of the dead is deeply locked with dense fog all year round. From the sky, the valley is almost shrouded in a cloud of gray-white fog, and only some sporadic shadow outlines can be vaguely seen.

There is only one road from the valley of the dead to the city of Sardin. The original name of the road is no longer remembered. People now only know that this road is called the starting point of death. This is a very apt name. After the Empire opened the Tomb of the Blood King, the death rate in the Valley of the Dead has remained high. Once you set foot on the highway to the valley of the dead, you will undoubtedly stand at the starting point of death.

Even so, there are still countless teams of adventurers flock to the cemetery of the blood king every year, using their blood and even their lives in exchange for every step that goes deep into the cemetery of the blood king. There is a very famous saying in the cemetery of the Blood King: Whether you are a brave or a coward, here you will only be the real winner if you live to the end.

This is what every adventurer who goes to the cemetery of the blood king is most often said, and as long as you go and return, whether you have gained or not in the cemetery, you can be in your own circle Become a hero.

Pass the starting point of death and reach the valley of the dead. You will find that the Hell Mountain where the cemetery is located is surrounded by a circle of military camps. Every adventurer who enters the blood king’s cemetery must pass through this military camp. This is the horned deer legion in the emerald stag army. General Iron King Gangde, the rank of general, is in charge of monitoring the cemetery of the Blood King. The army that guards and monitors the cemetery is changed every three years, and this year is the last year that the Jingjiao Deer Army guards the cemetery.

Passing through the camp where the horned deer army is located, you will see the entrance of Hell Mountain to the graveyard of the Blood King. Now the first ten floors of the Blood King’s cemetery have become public places, especially the first to fifth floors. These floors are where the empire provides supply points for adventurers. At the same time, there are also various places for adventurers, such as shops, blacksmith shops, and auction houses. In addition, there is a battlefield hospital opened by the Empire on the first floor of the cemetery. It is a pity that since the opening of this hospital, the death rate of the cemetery has not dropped much.

After all, now adventurers have entered the graveyard under the tenth floor to explore. Once dangerous situations appear in those unknown areas, it is often fatal. Few wounded can return to the first floor and enter the battlefield hospital for rescue.

As for the sixth floor of the cemetery, there are the offices of the Adventurer Association, the large-scale mercenary group resident in the cemetery, and the ancient ruins investigation committee. In general, the first to sixth floors of the cemetery can be freely entered and exited, but from the seventh floor, idlers are prohibited from entering. That means to go to the seventh floor, you need a pass issued by the empire to enter.

The seventh to tenth floor of the cemetery is the research site of the Ancient Ruins Investigation Society. The team of adventurers who want to go to the bottom cemetery still need to pass through a specific passage when passing through these floors. If they enter the research site of the investigation committee at will, they may be interrogated or even arrested by the Jingjiao Deer Army.

At night, on the sixth floor, a blacksmith shop near the entrance to the lower floor was blazing with fire. A shirtless middle-aged man was beating a sword embryo. Every muscle up and down the man's body was trembling regularly with the action under the firelight, and the sweat beads all over his body seemed to coat him with a layer of oil, and his every movement was full of beauty of masculinity and strength.

When the last hammer was hit, sparks spurted from the stove, fell on the man, and lifted up a cloud of blue smoke. The man put down the hammer and iron tongs, picked up a pottery cup next to him, wanted to drink water. The cup was raised, only to find that there was no drop of water in it. He shrugged, and just as he was about to fill himself with a glass of ale, he heard footsteps coming from outside the door. Then a timid voice asked: "Excuse me, is this Mr. Lowen's smithy?"

The man put down the pottery cup, turned around and said indifferently: "I am Lowen."

A pair of young men and women stood at the door, both of whom were warriors in terms of attire. The slight difference is that the young woman is still carrying a musket. It was the woman who asked the question. She was pleased when she heard the words, and said to her companion: "Look, I said this must be Mr. Lowen's iron shop."

The man named Lowen frowned and asked, "What's the matter with you? It's so late, I won't take the business."

The male soldier’s face was disappointed, and the woman begged, "Mr. Lowen, please help us. We will join the exploratory team organized by the Reaper’s mercenary group tomorrow. But not long ago, my friend His sword broke. Please be sure to help him repair it, and we will pay you enough money."

Lovin gave me a playful smile: "Pay me enough? How much? I want a thousand gold coins, can you get it out?"

He saw that the armors on the two of them were mostly painted and damaged. The musket behind the woman was even more wrapped with cloth strips. The clothes of the two were practical and simple. He's seen too many adventurers like this, most of them are newcomers or unsatisfactory guys. Judging from their situation, it should belong to the latter. Since the mix is ​​unsatisfactory, naturally he can't get a thousand gold coins.

Sure enough, the male soldier's face was flushed immediately, and he pulled his female companion and said: "Let's go, he is obviously blackmail. I can buy a better weapon for a thousand gold coins!"

The woman shook her head and said sincerely to Lowen: "Sir, we have heard of you. You were once a soldier, didn’t you? I think you can understand that every weapon is the most precious to a soldier. Partner. He has been with him for seven years with this sword in his hand. For him, this sword is very important. If we have a thousand gold coins in hand, he will be willing to give it to you. But we don’t have one now, can you please You are cheaper. We only have two hundred gold coins in our hands. This is all our property."

"Two hundred gold coins?" Lowen smiled. He squinted his eyes and said: "Well, I don't need the money. If you are willing to carry the gun on my back, then I will help your friend fix the weapon. , How?"

"No." The male soldier shook his head and said: "Forget it, let's go and look elsewhere."

"You leave this to me." The woman smiled, "Here, there is no better master than Mr. Lowen. Since he wants this gun, I will give it to him." Then she was right. Luo Wen said: "I agree with your proposal."

Luo Wen nodded and beckoned: "Then come in and show me the sword."

The woman first handed the gun on her back to Lowen, and when she put it in Lowen's hand, her eyes were filled with reluctance. The man sighed and handed a long sword to Lowen. Luo Wen pulled it out, and as expected, only half of the long sword remained, and the fractured surface was covered with fine lines. Lowen checked it carefully and said, "The damage is very serious. If you want, I can give you a new sword and promise to be better than this one. Your sword, to put it bluntly, has no repair value. . Even if it is repaired, the quality is not as good as the original, not to mention that you are not a good sword."

The male fighter seemed to deliberately make things difficult for Lowen and said: "I want this one!"

Lovin shook his head and said, "Do whatever you want. But young people, although people have to have their own principles, they are too stubborn to insist on principles. That gun is for your companion. It’s quite precious. You could have used it for a better sword. But out of your stubbornness, all you get is a sword of worse quality than the original one, which is a waste of this young lady’s It’s a painstaking effort."

The man was startled, looked at his female companion, then lowered his head and said, "Thanks for the advice, then let me listen to Mr. Lowen. Please give me a better sword, as for her gun. I hope it can be temporarily Send it to you and I will redeem it with a thousand gold coins!"

Lowen didn't answer, and went straight into the house. After a while, he brought a sword. The style of the long sword was very ordinary, but after the male warrior tried it, he found that the weight of the sword was moderate and it was very easy to use. Under the fire, the sword's body had a flame-like luster, and the material was much higher than his original one. While the male warrior tried his sword, Lowen handed the gun to the woman and said, "Since you cherish it, don't hand it over easily. You know, sometimes once you lose it, you can't find it again. "

The woman was startled: "The thousand gold coins..."

"Forget it, I'm not short of the money. Besides, the sword in the kid's hand was originally made by a customer. It's just that the customer went to the cemetery on the eleventh floor. Didn’t come back. Leave it to your partner, but let it work as a starting point.” Lowen yawned and said: “Okay, you can leave now, I’m going to close the door and rest.”

"Excuse me..."

The two adventurers were about to say goodbye. Suddenly there were a few exclamations outside the iron shop, followed by a series of beast roars, and the expressions of all three people in the iron shop changed. Lowen ran out, just as a man hurried past his iron shop. Lowen caught him and asked: "What happened?"

The man pointed behind his head and said with a trembling voice: "It's the red wolf, here, they are here!"

Then freed Luowen's hand, and ran and shouted: "It's not good, the red wolf has come up, it has come up..."

Lowen looked at the shadow of the seventh floor entrance, and he could feel that something was staring at him. Then there was a shadow rushing out of the shadow, its dashing posture was full of wildness, and it rushed straight to Lowen by the iron shop door. The man yelled and rolled into the iron shop. The thing rushed into the air, its body whirled on the ground and stopped, then pressed its center of gravity and slowly walked towards the iron shop.

The fire in the iron shop shines on it, and it can be seen that this is a wolf-shaped monster, with a head as big as a calf. There is no hair all over the body, only a red mane growing from the head to the back. The monster's head has four eyeballs, its fangs are all over, and the long tongue that comes out of its mouth is also covered with contractible thorns. It scratched the ground with four claws, watching the few people in the iron shop drooling.

The eyes of the two adventurers were protruding, and the male soldier couldn't help but said: "Why are the red wolves here? Are they not sentries on the 11th floor?"
