The final gentleman

Since he has agreed to the deal, Yi Chen will naturally not break his promise.

Hotel room.

Thirteen stood quietly outside the door, silent.

There were strange sounds coming from inside the room, similar to the sound of an old man panting.

When Stephen Ossicular touches his ears with his white fingers, the dead air all over his body will become messy due to excessive excitement, and he needs to stabilize his condition through regular exhaust. It sounds like an old man gasping for air.

Although the whole person looks extremely wretched, one can still see his fanatical obsession and heartfelt love for his ears.

This kind of vulgarity was limited to touching the ears, which Yi Chen didn't care about at all. After all, he had experienced far more extreme things than this in the orphanage during his lifetime.

The two-hour wait was boring, so Yi Chen tried to chat.

"Mr. Stephen should be a rare sentient knight, right? After all, most of the Death Plague Knights should prefer killing and bringing death to the opponent. There should be more knights like Bernard."

"Yes, there are indeed very few people like me, but I am also good at killing~ Especially to deal with humanoid individuals like you, all you need to do is send a silent dagger into your body, and death will spread.

This 'silence' will also be substituted into it, and often the individuals being assassinated will die without feeling anything. "

"Well, I don't deny your killing skills. Your hearing skills are indeed astonishing."

Yi Chen's sudden compliment made Stephen like it very much, and even recalled some past events.

"My ears are very special. My parents always praised me for my good hearing since I was little. My friends also kept praising me. Until I cut off all their ears, no one praised me anymore. I became quieter all of a sudden. Got it!"

"Haha~ It's quite interesting."

Yi Chen responded politely with a smile,

He could tell at first glance that Stephen was a mentally ill guy, but Yi Chen did not reject such people, and even admired and admired the other person's 'hearing'.

In a cave as wide as the lowest level, he could immediately determine the location of the dead statue just by listening carefully.

at this time,

Stephen brought his shrunken old face with ears close to him and whispered:

"What are you thinking about, William? Do you want to cut off my head and wear it around your waist as a living pendant?"

Whenever necessary, take out my head and listen in advance, so that you can obtain first-hand battlefield conditions and gain an intelligence advantage. "

Yi Chen was startled by the sudden crazy words, "Huh? This really doesn't happen..."

But Stephen shook his finger and continued: "Don't deny it in a hurry~ My ears can hear a lot of information, both superficially and internally, I can hear it very clearly.

Even those things that are perfectly hidden will always have 'noise' as long as they exist.

The noise in your body is very small, but it is extremely dissonant, even muddier than any evil person I have ever heard.

I can't tell whether you have controlled this extremely bad emotion, or are deliberately pretending to be a good person... But being able to have this emotion is enough to show that you are a very special person, and you must have experienced unexpected painful past events. , this is one of the reasons why I like your ears.

People like you must have great ambitions. I am afraid that this trip to the original tomb is not only for the keystone, but also casting a net everywhere to try to obtain more benefits. Am I right? "

"If seeking knowledge is also a kind of ambition, then it counts as one, right?" Yi Chen responded with a smile.

"Okay~ When you are strong enough, if you are still interested in my head, come back to the original tomb and challenge me to death. As long as you can win, you can take away everything from me.

It's actually good to keep my head next to you. At least I can always look at your ears, which is much better than looking at these boring dead people. "

Yi Chen stopped replying, feeling that the topic was getting more and more off-topic, so he naturally didn't take Stephen's crazy words to heart.

However, after thinking about it carefully, it would seem very good if Stephen's head could be cut off and used as a sensory ornament.

If you really want to do this, you must at least educate him, and at this stage, it is not enough to educate Mr. Stephen who has completed the path.

Two hours passed quickly,

Stephen was extremely reluctant to leave and even tried to stay in the guest room for the night, but of course was ruthlessly rejected by Yi Chen.

Just as he was about to walk out of the room, he poked his head in again, "I'll let you know when the weapons are ready..."

Time passed day by day, and the waiting time was much longer than expected until a week passed.

One morning,

When Yi Chen opened his eyes from the bed, a skull with ears was pillowed next to him.

"You're awake!"

"Mr. Stephen? Are the weapons finally ready?"

"Yes, but it's a bit troublesome... Your keystone is so perfect that it released a strong "death echo" during the forging process. Currently, the craftsman's shop is surrounded by knights watching the show. They There must be some people among them who have bad intentions and are even extremely greedy.

How about it? Do you want to hire me as a bodyguard? All you need is 'one hour of ear contact' as a bargaining chip, and I will protect your safety throughout the entire process until I escort you out of the Bonfire Mountains. "

"That's not necessary...Thank you, Mr. Stephen, for your kindness."

"Hey, let's go, let's go~"

When the mule carried the two of them to the familiar craftsman's shop, although it was not as exaggerated as Stephen described, there were indeed three Death Plague Knights standing at the door who had come to join in the fun.

"Give way~ What's so good about something that doesn't belong to you."

Stephen shouted, and the knight at the door moved slightly. One of the women wearing a black rabbit mask asked: "Stephen, this strong and murderous death echo is probably not a weapon you can control... …Isn’t the person behind you the same human boy from the last live video broadcast?

Could it be his? It's really curious. "

"If you want to buy information, please give me money first, Miss Rabbit. If you don't have money, don't ask me any more relevant questions."

Stephen directly pulled Yi Chen into the shop.

Mr. Alpache, who is like a sewing giant, has completed all the forging and is sitting on a stool waiting silently. On the stone platform in front of him is a 'finished product' wrapped with a shroud.

Because the winding was so precise that it was bloated and bulging, it could only be roughly judged that it was an axe. The specific shape could not be confirmed, and not even a trace of death energy escaped.

Before Yi Chen could ask, Mr. Alpache suddenly came closer to his huge sutured body, put his big face in front of Yi Chen and examined it carefully, his tongue in his mouth kept flapping and said:

"I really can't tell. I didn't expect that a young and friendly-looking human being would actually hide strong negative emotions such as murderous intent, death, pain, etc.

I even had doubts many times when I checked your left arm, wondering if I had made a mistake, but now it seems... well~ you seem to have deliberately plated yourself with a 'friendly' outer layer. Suppress nature.

Therefore, my main direction in transforming and upgrading weapons is to focus on the "negative feeling" hidden in your body, which ultimately leads to the finished product being a little irritable. You must taste the body of a strong person when using it for the first time, otherwise the weapon will break on its own.

Before encountering a strong enemy, leave it in a restrained state.

After you successfully sharpen the blade, if you feel that this weapon is not suitable for you, you can come back to me for re-processing at any time, and the material cost is free of charge. "

"Thank you Mr. Alpache."

"No need to thank me... I am very interested in the alternative death contained in your arms. This forging can be regarded as an alternative and novel journey. You are a very complex, interesting and dangerous young man. No wonder the boss is right You are so interested that you don’t pursue the matter of killing the deceased at all. Well, go do your thing, and I hope I can come here to play again in the future."
