The son of the dragon who walks

Chapter 164 The Cyclops

Ciel completely forgot about hunger and exhaustion, and the magic stone lamp stayed on all night. After studying all night, Ciel also had a preliminary understanding of the sacred text.

Sacred writing is the writing used by the gods, and it is also the most special writing in this world.

The most important divine favor in this world exists in the form of sacred words.

The increase in ability points, acquisition of skills and abilities, or upgrades are actually achieved by the gods by changing the sacred text.

The special thing about sacred writing is that even gods cannot change it according to their own wishes, and certain conditions must be met.

That is, adventurers accumulate experience and gain great achievements.

According to the information given by Hephaestus, the sacred text itself has power. However, only gods and a very small number of humans can use this energy.

It stands to reason that as a kind of writing, reading and writing can be mastered through learning. But for sacred writing, there is no problem with normal reading and writing, but it is not that simple to use its power.

The book says that the sacred words written by gods and [mystery] holders are completely different from those written by others.

To put it simply, the rules by which this world operates are like the underlying code, and the sacred text is the programming method. However, only people with administrator rights can write relevant programs.

Besides gods, [mystery] is also the only authority.

Ciel closed the book in his hand and couldn't help but feel distressed. He finally found some clues for the research, but the progress was completely stuck again. He still had to master the [Mystery] before he could continue to advance.

However, Charles did not lose heart, and instead began to learn to decipher the sacred texts.

There is no doubt that [Mystery] is related to the sacred text. Learning the sacred text is the only effort that Ciel can make now. Even if this effort will not yield results, it is better than giving up.

Without special powers involved, the sacred text is just a language. Ciel quickly mastered the basic interpretation and writing.

Then, as if the game lacked key props, Ciel also entered a stuck state.

However, Charles had already been mentally prepared, so he was not disheartened.

He returned all the information to Hephaestus and asked her about the location of Welf's forge.

After successfully finding Welf, Ciel saw that he was forging a big sword.

After briefly greeting Ciel, Welf turned around and continued building.

Charles didn't mind either and started to visit Welf's workshop.

Compared with Charles's own, Welf's workshop is more in line with the image of a normal blacksmith workshop.

Most of the space here is used to display forging furnaces and forging tools. The other spaces are also filled with raw materials and finished works.

Ciel picked up a big sword and looked at it carefully, and also waved it to test the feel.

It must be said that even without the skills to make magic swords, Welf is still an excellent blacksmith.

The quality of this sword is quite good, and it is the top equipment suitable for lower-level adventurers.

But according to what Welf said, all the items in his workshop could not be sold and were returned by the weapon shop.

This is not surprising. Although this sword is of high quality, it is not cost-effective.

Ciel could tell that a small amount of strong steel was added to this sword during its forging, which was the raw material for forging high-end equipment.

For low-level adventurers at LV1, buying such a sword is enough to purchase a complete set of equipment.

It can only be said that this is the gap between blacksmiths and adventurers. Blacksmiths want to build the best equipment, while adventurers have many other factors to consider.

Therefore, in addition to ordinary equipment, the blacksmith will also sign contracts with adventurers and focus on tailoring the most suitable top-level equipment for adventurers.

Ciel put down his sword and concentrated on watching Welf's forging process.

Ciel didn't learn forging for a long time, and he was able to overtake in corners because of Fahr's assistance. So Ciel did have a lot to learn from Welf in terms of some forging techniques.

After a period of rhythmic forging, Welf immersed the half-finished dagger in the coolant.

Looking at the faint lines on the dagger, Welf wiped his sweat and smiled.

Ciel also noticed the specialness of the dagger and suddenly realized it.

Welf must have been inspired by the equipment he made, and added his own blood when making this dagger.

Speaking of the power of fairy spirits, the bloodline of the Crozo family also has the same power. Sure enough, this short sword also has special lines.

However, unlike the dragon scale patterns on the equipment crafted by Ciel, the patterns on Welf's dagger are like intertwined flames.

However, this dagger is not finished yet, and I don’t know what special abilities it has.

Just when Charles wanted to step forward to observe, a loud noise came from the door, and Charles clearly saw the door of Welf's workshop flying directly over.

That's right, the door really broke away from the door frame and hit the pile of materials on the side.

Ciel was shocked. Although Welf was not popular among the Hephaestus family members, he wouldn't be beaten by anyone!

Could it be that he had offended someone recently? Ciel subconsciously thought so and even prepared for a fight.

But Welf acted quite calmly, as if he was used to this kind of thing.

Caressing his forehead, Welf said distressedly: "It's finally been quiet for a while. Is that guy back again?"

Although his words were full of disgust, Charles could feel that Welf was in a good mood.

"Weier Zai, I'm back!"

Appearing with the voice was a woman who was dressed quite wildly. Her lower body was in Far Eastern style hakama trousers, while her upper body was only wrapped in a simple strip of cloth, exposing a large area of ​​skin.

She has short black hair, an eyepatch on her left eye, and a red pupil in her right eye.

Chun Cobrand, the leader of the Hephaestus Familia, the best blacksmith in Orario, and a first-level adventurer at LV5.

Tsubaki is a half-dwarf, but apart from her forging talent, Ciel really doesn't see how her dwarf heritage is reflected.

But she actually came back, which meant that the Loki Familia's expedition was over.

Welf couldn't help complaining: "Can you be less noisy next time you enter my workshop?"

Chun strode up to Welf and patted him on the shoulder. The huge force made Welf roll his eyes.

"Don't be so rigid! Weierzi, you have made something amazing again, let me see it!"

Chun also saw the half-finished dagger in Welf's hand, and his passion as a blacksmith was immediately ignited.

"I saw a few pieces of equipment in the hall of the headquarters. Couldn't they be made by you too?"

When Tsubaki returned to Hephaestus's headquarters, she immediately noticed the equipment built by Ciel and was instantly attracted to it.

Then she forgot all about the expedition report, rushed to Hephaestus and asked about the equipment.

Before Hephaestus could finish speaking, she ran over excitedly after hearing about Welf's workshop. She probably thought those equipments were made by Welf!

Welf smiled bitterly and said, "I don't have that ability. The person who builds the equipment is behind you."

General Chun turned his head suspiciously and saw Ciel eating melon on the side.

Locked by Chun's gaze, Ciel also stepped forward and said: "I am a newcomer who has just joined the Hephaestus Familia. My name is Ciel. I would like to ask Captain Chun for your guidance in the future!"

"Anything like that is fine! Charles... I'll call you Charles. Were you really the one who made those equipment? What techniques were used?"

Ciel was temporarily confused by Chun's enthusiasm.

He is indeed the best blacksmith in Orario, and his pure passion for forging is unparalleled by ordinary people.

As for this kind of noisy but pure-hearted person, Ciel doesn't dislike him.
