The Magic Thief Chapter 11:
Ribo hopes to be able to experience Monach’s famous foamy liquor as soon as possible, and even want to see the famous carnival celebration, admire the beautifully decorated bullock carts, and watch Monach’s youth Men and women danced the cheerful country dances and enjoyed the lively folk music played by the street performers all over the city.
But it is a pity that the carnival is over, and now he is walking towards the craftsman area under the guidance of the two guards.
Monach’s artisan area is also famous. The artisans here are considered to be the best weapon makers besides the Thor who are good at forging swords. People are inferior in comparison.
But they have one thing they are proud of and proud of. That is, the armor made here can definitely be called the most sophisticated and powerful, and as we all know, those who come and go like the wind wielding a scimitar ride Thor, who passed by with a quick horse, never wore those heavy armors.
Ribo was surprised that on this short street of only about one kilometer, there are shops full of swords and swords, and there are even one or two well-made pictures on the door of many shops. armor.
Even if the shops here don’t sell weapons, most of the goods they sell are related to weapons, like armor’s hinges and screws, various sword hilts and hand guards, armor trims with delicate decorative patterns, and shapes. A strange and beautiful helmet.
All of this made Ruibo who had never seen these amazing before. The steel, which should have been cold, has now turned into pieces of wonderful art treasures.
The cold and sharp light adds a touch of special charm to these special artworks, which is undoubtedly the perfect combination of softness and rigidity.
However, walking on this "promenade" decorated with countless strange art treasures is not a pleasant thing, because deafening steel anvils continue to flow from both sides of the street. The sound of knocking on top.
The noisy "ding-dong" loud noises joined together, making Ribo feel swollen. After all, his ears have been specially trained by the killer king to catch any subtle sound in the silent night. This is a pair of ears that can even replace eyes in the dark. This place is really not a suitable place for him.
Ribo couldn't help but wonder where the killer king would hide at this moment, and what methods he would use to avoid the harassment of this ubiquitous voice.
The two guards led him straight to the door of a shop, which was considered to be one of the best on this long street. There were seven or eight pieces of armor standing in a row at the door, each piece of armor. They all have completely different styles and charms.
Like other shops, this place is also full of swords, and rows of sharp halberds are inserted next to the innermost wall.
Every piece of crafts here looks so exquisite and meticulous, with gilding inlaid with wonderful lace, making every piece of craftsmanship a treasure of art.
"The two chiefs came to my humble shop. It must be Duke Foss who sent me something else."
Ribo saw an old man rushing out of the shop. He has thick arms and a pair of huge callused hands.
"Mr. Miloen, the Grand Duke told us to lead this distinguished guest. He is your true guest." One of the guards said with a smile.
The old man had already seen Ruibo, but he was still a little hesitant, unable to determine whether this noble young master would be a real customer, but he had already seen from Ruibo’s demeanor and demeanor that he was a A teenager from a foreign country.
"I'm just here to take a look, maybe order one or two weapons by the way." Ruibo said in a word. As a shop assistant in the most prosperous port city, he naturally knew what method should be most effective.
Speaking, he wandered into the shop, drew out a rapier and swung it twice.
Ribo has to admit that these weapons are not just good-looking, they are by no means the flashy things that can be seen everywhere on Frank's street.
This sharp rapier is definitely not just for the nobles to wear as a decoration. The tough and flexible blade, and the sharp and chilling blade, all prove its true value. It's not just its beautiful shape and exquisite decorative embellishment.
But Ruibo is also very clear that this rapier is far from being a real boutique. It is compared with the soft and tough piercing sword that the cunning and cunning Princess wears under her long skirt. , This weapon in his hand is nothing at all.
"A very good sword, but I have seen an even better rapier. Although the rapier is not so beautifully decorated, it doesn’t even have a decent scabbard, but the rapier But it is much stronger than this one." Ruibo glanced at the shopkeeper and saw the disapproval look on the shopkeeper’s face, and continued: “The rapier that made me salivate was used by someone younger than me. Owned by a girl, she hid the rapier on the inside of her long skirt. It is really a rare good sword."
The shopkeeper was obviously surprised when he heard Ribo say this. He immediately said in surprise: "Could it be that the rapier that your Excellency said was made by Master Henry Vaughan for Her Royal Highness Princess Xia? That thin thorn sword."
Ribo just nodded this time, and he didn't say anything more.
The shopkeeper clearly knew at this moment that the person he was facing was definitely not an ordinary person. To be so close with the members of the royal family of Derry, he must be treated with care.
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper immediately changed his attitude, becoming more submissive and courteous.
"This distinguished guest, although he has never collected Mr. Henry Vaughan’s masterpieces in this humble shop, the master’s masterpieces of craftsmanship with weapons, but there are a few pieces of other master’s works. Do you want to Want to see?"
Seeing Ruibo nodded slightly, the shopkeeper quickly walked towards the back, and when he appeared again, he was followed by a group of buddies.
All these guys are holding beautifully decorated brocade boxes. Some of these brocade boxes are made of exquisitely carved teak wood, and some are inlaid with exquisite enamel mosaics. These brocade boxes alone are not worthwhile. Fei, it is absolutely conceivable that the weapons hidden in these brocade boxes must all be the best among the finest works.
The shopkeeper carefully opened the brocade boxes one by one with his own hands. To Ruibo's surprise, all the brocade boxes contained bare, undecorated weapons.
However, the cold air and sharp sharpness from these weapons makes people dare not look at them. All of this proves the extraordinaryness of these weapons.
Ribo originally planned to choose a thin thorn sword, but all his attention was attracted by a very narrow two-handed sword. This was entirely because the body of the two-handed long sword was covered with it. Mysterious pattern.
In the eyes of ordinary people, these patterns may only be decorative ornaments, but in Ruibo's eyes, those patterns undoubtedly form a strange magic circle.
That is the power of the wind. Ribo can even feel that he can communicate with the sparse wind elves through this big sword. Those patterns seem to build a bridge so that he and the wind elves can communicate with each other. Talk easily.
"My distinguished gentleman, I must express my apologies to your Excellency. Only this great sword I cannot sell to your Excellency. This great sword is a weapon customized by Duke Locke to me. I have invited Master Glod. I finally completed this order. This is not an ordinary weapon, and it has not been completely completed at the moment. It can only be said to be a semi-finished product. If you can stay here for enough time, you will be lucky enough to see it. A scene that will make you unforgettable.” The shopkeeper said quickly from the side.
"I know that this two-handed long sword has not been filled with magic. Once the power of the wind is injected into it, it will become a very powerful magic weapon." Ribo picked up the huge long sword and said. This sword was even taller than him, and it didn't feel like holding a long sword in his hand, but more like holding a heavy battle axe.
"It’s an interesting design. It’s indeed a powerful weapon, but it’s obviously not easy to use and manipulate. Light and flexible." Ribo said with a chuckle. Suddenly he remembered that he had the items to complete this weapon, and the ointments that made his body so light could be used as a medium to instill the power of the wind. .
Ribo also wants to see the true power of such a magic sword. A magic weapon that has just been built is definitely not something that can be seen often.
For an excellent thief, it couldn’t be simpler to take out something while people are not paying attention, apply the blue ointment quietly on the blade, and the blade immediately becomes a layer. Crystal blue light.
Ribo seemed to be inspired by the more and more wind elves gathered around him. A mysterious spell that had never existed in his memory suddenly jumped out of his mind. .
With that voice that seemed to be babbling, gently chanting the spell of the wind, Ribo only felt the power of the wind as a surging wave, passing through the length he held in his hand. Swords flowed continuously.
The originally dim blue light became more and more dazzling, and the bright light enveloped the entire shop.
When the long sword glowed with a strange blue light, the shopkeeper originally planned to stop the strange behavior of the exotic boy, but he was immediately shocked by the scene that followed.
As Monach’s most famous craftsman and shop owner, he would never have seen the sight of filling magic weapons with magic. Because of this, when the blue light gradually brightened, he immediately understood What happened?
At the same time, he immediately knew the identity of the exotic boy in front of him, and only the magician could fill the magic weapon with energy.
At this moment, he was very thankful that he had not been too unreasonable to this young man just now. Even if he put aside the honorable status he might have, he did not dare to offend him just as a magician.
Everyone knows very well what it means to offend and despise a magician. These people with special abilities are not bound by the world and the law at all. To ordinary people, they are undoubtedly like death gods. Among the widely circulated stories, the people who offended the magician all had a chilling tragic end.
In fact, not only the shopkeeper was worried and scared, but even the two guards kept reminiscing whether they were disrespectful to this exotic boy just now. When they saw the scene before them, they were the same. Know what kind of identity the people they accompany have.
At this moment, they finally understood why Prince Henry was so respectful to this young man, and even made them feel that His Royal Highness was insulting to the dignity of the Kingdom of Lizhi, since the prince of the Kingdom of Lizhi was treating a weak neighboring country The envoys sent were so submissive, which not only greatly damaged his own majesty, but even made them feel ashamed.
Now that they know the true identity of this young man, these two guards have come to realize it.
At this moment, on the avenue leading to the old town in Monach, an elegant and luxurious carriage was driving slowly, and suddenly a person poked his head out of the window of the car, he His age is between middle age and old age, and his neatly combed hair supports the towering forehead.
The somewhat old middle-aged man looked into the distance, his eyes were slightly narrowed, his eyes looked so focused and solemn.
"Master Courtel, what's the matter with you?" He asked anxiously another middle-aged man sitting on the carriage. He was obviously younger than the one he was asking about. The elegant and luxurious dress proved how noble his identity is.
"Honorable Grand Duke, I just felt the restlessness of a strong wind. If my feeling is not wrong, it is the magic wave caused by the resonance of the wind, but I really can’t guess who caused the wind. Resonance, as far as I know, in the entire kingdom, only Wynd’s Sorcerer possesses such strength. At this moment Wynd’s might be waiting by Duke Kane’s side and dare not leave. Is this Duke Kane? At this moment, he will come to this remote southern county with such enthusiasm. Is he so brave and doesn't mind the entanglement between his family and the Fors family for centuries?" The magician frowned. Talk to yourself generally.
"Does the Kane family have reached an understanding with the Firth family?" The distinguished grand prince also frowned. He was obviously deeply puzzled by this unexpected discovery.
"The civil turmoil that year turned these two families into feuds. I can hardly imagine that a stubborn person like Grand Duke Firth would once again believe in feuds. They and the Kane family back then were also in civil turmoil. The Kane family's betrayal has caused them a lot of damage. Isn't the Firth Grand Guild disregarding the previous suspicion? Are they not afraid of being fooled again?" The Grand Duke continued to inquire.
"If I have a pair of eyes like Master Ogg that can see through and into the future, I may be able to give you an accurate answer, but it is a pity that there is only one person in Drizhi Kingdom who can see through everything, and that person It's not me." The magician said calmly.
"Master, look at such an unexpected change at this moment, what should we do more appropriately?" the grand prince said anxiously.
"Grand Duke, didn’t you come to Monach this time to retrieve your custom-made two-handed sword and other weapons used to equip a team of knights? If you don’t intend to change your itinerary , Why should you worry about whether this matter will affect you."
"Didn’t you have worked out the countermeasures to deal with this upheaval, are you planning to overthrow your original assumptions at this moment? If that’s the case, you can definitely consider going to the residence of Archduke Forth for a private visit , Maybe at Duke Foss, all mysteries can be revealed. At that time, you can completely reconsider your plan." The magician said slowly.
"It seems that I have to visit Grand Duke Foss. As far as I know, Grand Duke Foss has also been invited to join Grand Duke Sham's camp? Maybe we can have a common language." The Grand Duke said with a smile.
"Do you really believe that a person like Duke Firth will truly support that miser? How sincere do you yourself to Duke Shame?" The magician also smiled and said, "The reason why you joined Shame? Isn’t the Archduke’s alliance to survive this turmoil? I am afraid that in the Southern County, Duke Shame is the only one dreaming of seizing the crown. The reason why the others are willing to unite is not for the sake of survival. Can you be more certain when fighting against Archduke Bashmon and the Kane family?"
"Master, what do you mean?" The grand prince carefully closed the curtain and approached the magician's side and asked.
"Since the alliance has been formed, the use of Sham is no longer important. I am afraid that no one wants to be used as a weapon by this cowardly and greedy guy, and no one wants to be the money bag for this miser. And the warehouse, presumably Grand Duke Foss is far more eager than others in this matter. I guess that miser has already made a long list of goods and handed them to Grand Duke Foss."
"Didn’t you have seen the greedy face of Grand Duke Shamm, didn’t he also want to place financial officials in your hands? Maybe now it’s time for this miser to reap the consequences. Now that the alliance has been established, Duke Shamm Instead, finding another suitable person to take his place may be a more suitable choice for everyone." The magician lowered his voice and said, with a deep smile on his mouth. .
"That miser is not easy to deal with. I am afraid that no one is his opponent in the south, and his power is not bad. The most troublesome thing is the corps he has." Archduke Locke said worriedly.
"It’s really difficult for him to lead the Southern Corps, but at this moment, the Southern Corps may not be willing to follow the instructions of this miser. But we really don’t need to make ourselves a target that the miser hates. Let Foss Duke’s early life may be the best choice." The magician nodded and said
In the distance, Ribo stood upright in the center, with a thick iron armor erected in front of him, which was the armor used to test the power of weapons in the shop.
Raise the two-handed long sword with a full blue light in front of his chest, and the sharp point of the sword points directly at the iron armor.
Suddenly, with a burst of blue light, Ribo stabs out with one hand holding the hilt of the sword with all his strength.
This is what Kelller taught him an assassin used to deal with a knight wearing a full-body armor as a last resort. He tried his best to attack as far as possible with a stabbing method, and then Regardless of success or failure, stay away from your opponents as much as possible.
In order to hone this trick, Ruibo has suffered a lot. The training course of the killer king is definitely not easy to pass, and this trick is definitely considered to be even in those rigorous training. Quite difficult.
Because of this, when Ribo retreated to the original place like lightning, and the long sword in his hand was restored to its level again, and the point of the sword pointed directly at the target, even he himself was quite satisfied with the blow he had just made. .
At this moment, the heavy armor seemed to have not been hurt at all. Only the most careful person could see that there was an extremely neat scar on the left heart of the armor.
Maybe ordinary people don't understand the mystery and power of this blow, but those who are standing by at this moment all have good eyesight.
The two guards even covered their left chests at the same time, as if it was their heart that had been penetrated. As knights, they naturally knew very well how deadly this blow would be, even more. What they couldn't imagine was that it was not a well-known knight who could strike such a blow, but a young man who obviously should be a magician.
What a strange magician this is. Although these two guards don’t know what kind of powerful and deadly magic he is good at, they are absolutely dangerous even if they engage in close combat with this young man. matter.
The shopkeeper was obviously stunned, and he was also baffled, because he had never seen a magician with such a martial skill.
"This long sword is pretty good, but it's not suitable for me." Ribo said with a sigh. He glanced around and shook his head: "It's a pity that there is no weapon I need. I originally I plan to find a thin thorn sword that is exactly the same as Princess Xia that is easy to carry."
Hearing these words, the shopkeeper came back to his senses. He seemed to have realized that he immediately said: "The sword used by Princess Xia is a boutique made by Henry Vaughan, and that The rapier is specially designed for the special needs of the princess. Ordinary people don’t need to hide the weapon without revealing it at all."
"I can assure you that even if you travel around this place, you will never find the kind of weapon you need, but if you give me a week, I can definitely help you order such a small one. Sword, I am very honored. One of the masters who are best at crafting rapiers at Trischi is in Monach. I can ask him to make weapons for you.” The shopkeeper said with great enthusiasm.
"I really don’t need such a sophisticated weapon. After all, I am not a warrior. The martial arts are only used for self-defense and self-defense. When confronting the enemy, I have a more suitable weapon. I originally only wanted to have one that is easy to hide. Compared with the weapon used, and the texture and performance of the weapon, I care more about its purpose." Ruibo said indifferently.
"If this is the case, just give me a day to create a weapon that satisfies you. What are your requirements for this weapon?" the shopkeeper said immediately.
"The length of the blade is about one meter three, and the widest part does not need to exceed one centimeter. You helped me to make the blade as thin and light as possible. No blood tank will make the sword difficult to bend. "Speaking of this, Ruibo glanced at the exquisite and elegant armors in the shop. These armors had already attracted his attention, because the patterns of these armors were covered with some dark colors, these dark black patterns. Make the armor look particularly beautiful and luxurious.
But what Ribo really cares about is not how elegant these decorations make the armor, what he really cares about is the dark black color.
"I want to know what these black bottoms are, they don't look like lacquer." Ribo asked tentatively.
The shopkeeper immediately looked a little proud, even with a smile on the faces of the two guards.
"You probably don’t know that this is the most famous and unique craft in our shop. The black stripes you see are actually the yellow-orange-orange gold you see every day. The gold is painted on the steel. Above, this is a special craft that only our shop has.” The shopkeeper said triumphantly.
"Well, I will paint all of my sword body with this kind of ‘black’ gold to make my sword more elegant and beautiful." Ribo said with a smile.
The shopkeeper who didn’t know what Ribo really meant couldn’t help but frowned. He quickly and attentively advised: “My lord, there’s one thing you may not know about. Although this kind of painted gold is indeed beautiful, It is not practical. Generally speaking, the armors created in this way are only used to participate in celebrations. On the real battlefield, no one will wear them to charge and fight, unless you just want to make your sword become one. A pure decoration, otherwise I advise you not to use these overly luxurious decorations."
The shopkeeper saw a look of disapproval on Ruibo’s face, so he sighed and continued to explain: "My lord, you don’t know, although this process of applying gold to steel is beautiful, it has A fatal weakness is that the texture of the black gold that has been painted on is extremely sparse, so it is easy to stain other colors, such as blood stains on others, and it is not easy to wipe off these variegated colors. Things."
The shopkeeper’s words made Ribo's heart moved, because he immediately realized that what the old man said was exactly what he needed most. If the black painted on it really likes to absorb like a sponge, then he prepared what Venom has the best place to shelter, which undoubtedly saves him the trouble of smearing the blade with that rag full of venom every time he uses a weapon.
Ribo glanced around, and another discovery gave him some enlightenment.
I saw a halberd placed on the edge of the wall. This halberd is obviously used to decorate the facade, so its surface is covered with patterns, and those patterns are what Ruibo is really interested in. s things.
Those patterns are obviously overlapping feathers, the slightly thick cores are like thick blood vessels, and those curled and neatly arranged down feathers also reminded him The fine web of blood under the skin is densely covered.
"I am very grateful for your reminder, but I still insist on the needs I just mentioned. In addition to that, I also hope to engrave a feather pattern on my sword, just like the one on the wall over there. The halberd.” As Ruibo used his index finger to gently draw a slightly curly line on the table next to him: “I hope that the feathers engraved on the sword’s body are arranged like this, and finally I There is another requirement. My rapier does not need a big hilt, and there is no need to install a hand guard. Everything is exactly the same as the guard rapier owned by Princess Xia. The only difference is my thin sword. The sword must have a hollow hilt, and it must also have an opening that allows me to pour liquid into the hilt."
Speaking of this, both the two guards and the shopkeeper had obviously guessed the real purpose of the mysterious aristocratic teenager, and the three of them gasped involuntarily.
Understanding everything, the shopkeeper became more cautious, while the two guards involuntarily stepped back and kept a certain distance from the noble boy from a foreign country.
At this moment, they finally understand why their prince treats this young man so respectfully. At this moment, they are absolutely convinced that anyone who knows everything that this young man has will be extremely cautious and careful to respond to him. Some respect, because this young man undoubtedly has the same identity as the **** of death.
The two guards could no longer imagine what kind of character could be more dangerous and terrifying than the boy in front of them. At this moment, in their eyes, even if the temper is fierce and the martial artist is superb." The leader of "Bloodthirsty" is also much more cute and friendly, at least the leader of "Bloodthirsty" Baron Wald has never used poisonous weapons to take the lives of others.
As if to deepen everyone’s fears and worries, Ribo gave them a long list of shocking orders. The flying knives and the extremely slender and short crossbow arrows undoubtedly proved their original guesses. The real The knight would never use this weapon.
But neither the two guards nor the shopkeeper would think that the items listed on this order are just children’s toys
When the mysterious VIP left, the elderly shopkeeper seemed to be exhausted. Looking at the long list in his hand, he felt chills surging from the soles of his feet. He was well-informed in his life, but he had never seen a character like that exotic boy.
At this moment, he calmed down. He once again remembered the feeling the young man gave him when he first entered the shop. He was usually simple and amiable, except for the simple aristocratic temperament that showed off on him. People feel eye-catching and conspicuous.
The old shopkeeper absolutely believes that if the young man stands among a group of peers, he will definitely not attract special attention, but now that I think of it, this is the most terrifying place. Only when he truly knows the strength and danger he possesses To the extent that he will discover how terrifying and insidious his appearance is, his amiable and harmless appearance.
Just as the shopkeeper felt more and more fearful, suddenly there was a noisy carriage approaching outside the door, and it was obvious that the carriage stopped in front of his shop.
The exhausted old man had to stand up again and ran towards the door.
For this unexpected visitor, the shopkeeper was taken aback for a moment. He felt very surprised that he had some good luck today, and he actually visited his shop one after another with extremely distinguished VIPs.
But the shopkeeper didn't hesitate because of this, he immediately greeted him with that diligent look.
"Dear Archduke Locke, your visit again makes the shop full of glory. You must have come to get your customized two-handed sword. I can guarantee that it is absolutely stunning and almost perfect. "
Arch Duke Locke didn't care at all about the very courteous and polite compliments of the shopkeeper. He had already listened to such compliments a lot, and was tired of hearing them.
Following the shopkeeper into the shop, looking at the treasured weapons built by the master in the shop, the grand prince felt very strange. Could it be that the shopkeeper had already guessed that he was coming, or was it just because A VIP has left.
However, Archduke Locke's attention was quickly attracted by something, and it was his custom-made two-handed sword that attracted his attention.
"Milon, how did you complete my order? I don't know that you have the face to invite a magician in addition to the weapon crafting masters." Duke Locke said in disbelief. , He really can't imagine that ordinary people can climb a magician high, even the Grand Duke Linfoss only recognizes a few magicians, and it is definitely not an easy task to ask these magicians to help him.
Unexpected by Archduke Locke, before the old shopkeeper could answer, the magician he had brought had already slowly walked towards the big sword, from the extremely solemn expression. , Archduke Locke has already seen that this matter is definitely not simple, he promised not to speak anymore.
The middle-aged magician gently stroked the big sword with bursts of blue light cautiously, then twisted his fingers, put his fingers under his nose, sniffed gently, and then slowly turned around. Duke Locke said with a serious expression: "It seems that the resonance of the wind that I felt just now is to fill this great sword with magical energy. It is a pity that we are a step late, otherwise we will be able to see this rare Scene."
Speaking of this, he slowly raised his arm and raised his fingers stained with the faint blue ointment to his eyes. After observing intensively for a while, the middle-aged magician sighed and said : "I finally knew how shallow I was in the past. I always thought that there was no better alchemist in the Kingdom of Dalizhi than me, and at this moment there is a living proof. Just a moment ago, there was one at least with me. A considerable alchemist has been to this shop."
"In other words, two magicians have been here just now? One of them is an extremely superb alchemist, and the other is Yu Weiyingde who is quite good at controlling the power of wind?" Archduke Locke asked immediately with horror, and he turned his head to the elderly shopkeeper.
At this moment, the owner is obviously scared. As an ordinary person, he naturally can’t tell how superb a magician is, but he has heard of something about a magician at least. One thing, that is, the power possessed by the magician is proportional to his age.
"No two magicians have been to me. I can be sure that there is only one person, unless there is another magician who is invisible just now, and I haven't noticed it at all." The shopkeeper said in a flustered expression.
"An alchemist who can resonate with the wind, and the gentle spirit has the ability to communicate freely?" The magician showed an incredible expression. He frowned and shook his head slowly and said, "I never I never knew that there was such a clever alchemist."
"If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid it's a foreigner. He must be very familiar with Her Royal Highness Princess Xia, because he has customized a rapier here that is exactly the same as the one owned by Princess Xia." The owner said quickly.
"Customize the rapier? What does the magician do with you? Is he going to give that rapier to others?" Archduke Locke asked in a daze, now he is more and more surprised.
On the contrary, the entourage magician obviously heard something famous from these words.
"Princess Xia? Didn’t Princess Xia follow her brother, Prince Henry, to the Kingdom of France as a diplomatic envoy? Did Prince Henry return to Derry? Are they here right now? Meet Archduke Fros? Could it be that the magician I have never heard of was brought back by Prince Henry from the Kingdom of Francis?" The magician then glanced at Archduke Locke.
Although Archduke Locke was a little slow to react, he was not a fool after all, and he immediately understood what the magician wanted to tell him.
On the carriage just now, they have already discussed the current situation, and at this moment, the prince who suddenly returned to China has clearly become the most powerful piece of chess.
But he also felt a little worried, because the prince suddenly appeared in the chess game, although it is a perfect opportunity, but it may also make the already chaotic chess game even more messy, Archduke Locke He began to hesitate, and he worried that the situation would become uncontrollable.
Unlike the ordinary people, Archduke Locke knew something about the prince. If it was in the past, he might be very optimistic about the prince, because the prince possesses everything to become a wise king. Quality.
But at this moment he felt a little at a loss, because he was very worried that this prince who had no strength at the moment might become the first target that everyone wanted to eliminate. The prince had the status of the legal heir to the throne. It was enough to kill him.
Just as Archduke Locke was hesitant, he suddenly saw that his accompanying captain was interested in the iron armor used to test the power of the weapon's blade.
"Rose, did you see anything interesting?" Archduke Locke asked, as he walked towards the armor.
"There is a small wound here." The captain of the guard immediately pointed to the left side of the armor and said, his expression was as solemn as the magician just now.
Arch Duke Locke glanced at the narrow but extremely fatal gap. Perhaps he knew nothing about the world of magicians, but he was absolutely expert in martial arts.
Just glanced at the gap, his face also showed a solemn expression, but after a moment of thinking, he became calm again, he smiled and said: "Since Prince Henry has already When he came back, the wind knights who accompanied the guard of the prince came here naturally. All of these knights possessed superb martial skills, not to mention the famous Master Foster among them. Any one can easily stab such a deadly and accurate sword."
Hearing Duke Locke’s words, the shopkeeper couldn’t help it anymore. He didn’t want this very nice guest to make any mistakes. Among his many customers, this Duke was the most kind and at the same time The most generous one, and with the strength and identity of that young man, a little negligence, the final result may be extremely fatal.
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper hurriedly approached, his face showed a look of trepidation, and he cautiously said: "Respected Grand Duke, I must clarify one thing. The wound on this armor is right. It’s what you left from experimenting with the great sword built for you, and it’s not any of the famous knights of the wind that wields that great sword, but the magician himself, maybe you can’t Believe that, in fact, before this, I also absolutely could not imagine that there would be a magician with extremely high martial skills in this world, but this is indeed a fact that I have seen with my own eyes."
"A magician who is good at martial arts?" Archduke Locke was taken aback. The news was obviously full of extreme shock to other people. Because of this, the shop suddenly became extremely quiet, only that The clinking sound of iron strikes from outside.
"Grand Duke, can you explain to me what this scar on the armor means? Just like you don’t know anything about the magical world, I am also very unfamiliar with martial arts. The magician who is good at martial arts is almost the only one I just heard at this moment." The magician leaned over and asked.
The Grand Duke was stunned for a while, then gently stroked the neat incision and explained: "If I use a long sword, I can also pierce such a wound, but if it's both hands The big sword, I can’t do anything about it. Even though the long sword I customized has become lighter due to the power of magic, its quality has not diminished at all. Therefore, if I want to be so light and fast without a trace of tremor after the move, with my I'm afraid I can't do it yet."
"It can be said that if I were to face such an opponent, I would never be close to him within two meters. I would be more willing to use bows and arrows or heavy crossbows to deal with that opponent instead of using martial arts to fight him. Fight."
Hearing what the Grand Duke said, the accompanying magician apparently understood the strength of the magician unknown to him. He sighed slightly and said, "I believe if you stay away from your opponent. , Will die faster, don’t forget that he is a magician, and keeping a distance from the magician will undoubtedly be closer to the arms of death."
The Grand Duke obviously understood the same truth, and he nodded silently.
"Dear Lord, I am afraid that even if you keep a certain distance, you will still be placed in an extremely dangerous situation. Here is a list. You can definitely see what this means with your eyesight." said that A shopkeeper submitted the list to Duke Locke.
Arch Duke Locke just glanced at the list, and his face instantly turned pale.
Because he saw the considerable number of throwing knives listed on the list, as well as the size and style of those arrows, he immediately understood the unknown magician in this shop just now , Would use them to do something, these are definitely not weapons used by upright knights and warriors, their users often have creepy identities.
As long as he thinks of a character standing here just a moment ago, he feels that all the pores on his body are opening up, and then think of the other abilities possessed by that unknown special character. Nothing makes him more frightened and frightened than an assassin who possesses superb martial skills and can perform powerful magic.
This sudden fear made him even forget that the shopkeeper was standing by his side. He hurriedly asked the magician beside him: "Prince Henry brought such a character back to Deleizhi, but the truth is For what? Does Grand Duke Frosh already know that this person exists?"
The sorcerer glanced at the shopkeeper standing next to him, and then said calmly: "I am afraid that this question can only be answered after I have visited Grand Duke Foss. At this moment, any guesses are of no avail. Maybe we are already there. Stay here for too long. If we can hurry up, maybe we can see His Royal Highness who has returned smoothly at the dinner table."
Slightly settled down, Archduke Locke has already noticed that it is obviously inappropriate to discuss important secrets here. He nodded and ordered the shopkeeper to wrap up his customized long sword.
Just as the grand prince was about to leave the shop, the shopkeeper suddenly approached him cautiously and said, "Respected grand prince, there is one thing I must tell you, the special one who came here to visit before you Guests have an incredible age."
Speaking of here, the shopkeeper involuntarily looked around, as if searching for the eyes of the legendary magician for prying eyes.
Maybe the existence of the magician next to him made him feel a little relieved, and he continued: "That distinguished guest looks like my little grandson about the same age, when he entered my shop, I haven't even paid attention to him. He is like a teenager who is easily ignored by others."
The shopkeeper's words obviously shocked and disbelieved everyone once again. The Rocker decided to continue to inquire, but he was stopped by the magician around him.
"Everything will have an answer after seeing Grand Duke Foss." The magician said slowly.
Grand Duke Locke nodded. He was about to walk out of the shop. Suddenly he stopped as if remembering something. He turned around and said to the shopkeeper, "I'm glad you told me this. It made me avoid I made some fatal mistakes, and the great sword you built for me made me very satisfied. It was obviously a rare masterpiece. I immediately asked my butler to settle your payment. In addition, this is an extra I give you. Rewards to reward you for the service you give me."
Speaking, the Grand Duke dropped a ring from his index finger. A huge emerald was inlaid on the ring, and he gently tossed the ring out.
And the shopkeeper quickly took the ring with extremely light and skillful movements, and a more respectful smile appeared on his old face. In addition, he kept facing Duke Locke. Complimented on his generosity
The carriage drove slowly, Archduke Locke glanced out the window, and then carefully closed the curtains. He sighed heavily and muttered to himself: "It looks like there are new changes now, and the situation has changed. It’s more complicated. The things that were originally on the table are already annoying to me, and now I have to always beware of the power hidden in the dark."
"I thought you would be happy because of it." The magician beside him suddenly said calmly.
Obviously, this was much beyond the expectation of Archduke Locke. He quickly said: "Master, I know very well that I am not a wise person. Please give me more specific guidance. Obviously you have already seen a little Dawn, but I am still in the dark."
The magician only smiled at Duke Locke’s compliment. He slowly said in a very long tone: "Grand Duke, you should be thankful that you already know that there are things in the dark that you have not paid attention to, and those places Worried chess players are staring at other people's chessboards. They don't realize the fear you have already seen. Don't you, who can see farther than others, have more advantages and opportunities?"
Hearing what the magician said, Archduke Locke nodded slightly.
