Beauty and the Bodyguard

Lin Yi nodded. This is easy to understand. In theory, the profession of a caster is even more expensive than an alchemist. For an unpopular inner disciple of Qingyun Pavilion like the Tattered King, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. This is also Very normal thing.

After a pause, the Tattered King took a deep breath, stared at Lin Yi with burning eyes and said: "The front paws and whip tail of the nine-tailed clouded leopard are both rare and rare good materials. If Brother Lin, you can trust me, you can do it at any time." Come to Qingyun Pavilion and find me, I am willing to help you forge weapons for free."

I see! Only then did Lin Yi understand the purpose of the other party's visit. He did not reply immediately, but instead asked: "I wonder where Brother Wang learned from? Is there a special place in the three pavilions to train casters?"

The Tattered King was stunned for a moment, then replied: "That's not true, the caster is a very unpopular profession. As far as I know, there are not many serious casters here in Beidao, but there are quite a few in Zhongdao. Young Master, as for my apprenticeship, I actually learned by chance from a master caster named Sun Sikong for a few days. The rest I learned by myself based on the information, but don’t worry, I don’t dare to boast about anything else. , my casting ability is absolutely no problem!”

Isn’t this called not bragging? Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh: "But just now Chen Heihu and the others said, Brother Wang, you have never successfully cast?"

"Uh..." The Tattered King choked up immediately. No matter how much he thought he was a genius at casting, this was a bloody fact, and it was precisely because of this that people called him the Tattered King.

"I believe you will succeed. If there is a chance in the future, I will come to Qingyun Pavilion to find you!" Lin Yi smiled at him.

The King of Rags actually gave him a pretty good impression. It was clear that he was a guy with real materials. However, even if he only had the worst materials, this guy always insisted on forging top-notch magical weapons. Adhering to this Such a weird idea, it would be a damn thing if this guy could still successfully cast it!

But anyway, it’s useless to hold materials such as the nine-tailed clouded leopard’s front paws and whip tail in your hands. If you have time in the future, you might as well go find this guy and study it together. Maybe you can actually cast something decent!

"Do you really want to believe me?" The Tattered King couldn't help but be overjoyed. He originally had no expectations for this matter. He just didn't want these good materials for casting to be wasted. Unexpectedly, Lin Yi actually agreed.

You must know that although the special profession of caster has always been sought after, there are only a handful of people who can truly live up to this title.

A forger like the Rag King who has never successfully forged any decent weapons is a complete laughing stock in the eyes of others. They will not take his words seriously at all, let alone hand over the rare materials at hand to him. Even if the King of Rags takes the initiative to ask Ying to cast it for free, it will be impossible.

Because once these materials are used for casting, there are only two results, either they succeed and become part of the magic weapon, or they fail and become a pile of scraps with no value anymore.

And with the embarrassing resume of the Rag King, can this guy still succeed in casting? Only a devil would believe him! Oh, even the devil doesn’t believe him!

It is no exaggeration to say that out of 10,000 people, 9,999 people would not believe in the Tattered King's abilities, but today he was lucky enough to meet the last person who was willing to believe in him.

For him, this is probably the last life-saving straw. If he can't seize this opportunity to clear his name, then he may really have to live with the embarrassing title of King of Rags for the rest of his life. .

Seeing Lin Yi nodding affirmatively, the Tattered King was so excited that he couldn't speak incoherently: "Well, thank you so much. Brother Lin, don't worry, I will definitely help you make good things, and I won't waste this great material. Wait. Whenever you are free, you can come to Qingyun Pavilion to find me at any time, I will always be waiting!"

"Okay, I still have some important things to do for the time being, so it will probably take a while, and then I'll leave it to you." Lin Yi responded.

Although he believed that the Rag King had the ability to forge weapons, after all, this guy had an embarrassing precedent of zero success rate in front of him. He couldn't be prepared. If he rashly handed over these materials to the other party, it would probably be in vain by then.

Therefore, even if he agreed to the Tattered King to help him forge weapons, Lin Yi decided to follow him throughout the process so that he could observe and learn how to forge weapons.

In any case, the Tattered King is also a serious caster, and his attainments in casting are much deeper than those of a layman like him who has to figure everything out on his own.

After all, although Lin Yi had repaired the divine pesticide cauldron, expanded the jade pendant space, made a fine essence necklace, and forged a heaven-level magic weapon by his own exploration before, these were not considered castings in the true sense. To forge a real magic weapon, you still have to work hard and study systematically.

Because, casting is not based on drawings, but needs to be created, combining different materials into one, rather than simply making it according to drawings!

There are thousands of materials in the world. If everyone can create the same magic weapon, what's the difference?

In this regard, no matter how bad the reputation of the Rag King is, he can still be his teacher. When the time comes to observe and learn together, we will definitely benefit a lot.

However, even though he had agreed in person, Lin Yi estimated that it would be at least a few months before he really wanted to go to the Rag King for help.

Because the time required to cast a weapon is far greater than that of refining an elixir. It can easily take several months, or even ten or eight years. And Lin Yi currently has to deal with the newcomer assessment of Yingxin Pavilion, and there is simply not so much free time. , so we can only wait until these are finished.

"Yeah, it's okay. Brother Lin, you can do whatever you want. The patience of the caster is not false. I can afford to wait no matter how long it takes!" The Tattered King didn't care at all about this and nodded repeatedly.

For him, Lin Yi's agreement to let him help cast the weapon was a great blessing. As for waiting for a while, that was not a problem at all. He could afford to wait as long as he wanted!

At this moment, the Rag King has even begun to think about what auxiliary materials he will look for to match the front claws and whip tail of the Nine-tailed Cloud Pack.

Although it is difficult to get anything good with his ability, if some scraps are used properly, they can also have unexpected magical effects. This is where he reflects his core value as a caster. !

"Brother Wang, let's say goodbye for now." Lin Yi said hello and was about to leave, but found that the Tattered King ignored him at all. He was alone there frowning in thought, and from time to time he murmured some casting materials plausibly to himself. He seemed to be completely immersed in his own thoughts and ignored the outside world.
