Zongman: A Story That Begins From The Wrong Place

"Does this weapon have a name?"

Jade picked up the cooled iron whip on the forging table, and Hephaestus was full of curiosity about this strangely shaped weapon.

"It looks like a stick but not a stick, and the body of the soldier has twelve rings."

"Compared with ordinary short sticks, these twelve iron rings are more lethal. They are suitable for piercing armored enemies or monsters with armor."

"Ordinary adventurers are not suitable, because they need to have a certain degree of strength attribute."

As expected of a blacksmith at the level of a master craftsman, he can accurately tell the biggest feature of the iron whip at a glance: powerful armor-piercing ability.

It is recorded in "The Essentials of Armed Forces": "A sword can only fight against an unarmored soldier. If you need cavalry and heavy armor, you must whip."

After drinking the recovery potion, Qi Shaoyun's soreness and fatigue improved, so he got up and explained: "Whip, I call it an iron whip."

"Whip? Iron policy."

"Yes, that's why I call it the Iron Whip."

After figuring out the origin of the iron whip's name, Hephaestus handed it back to Qi Shaoyun, and then spoke lightly.

"It's only a semi-finished product now, let's engrave the attribute inscription on it."

"good."

After taking over the iron whip embryo, Qi Shaoyun carved the inscriptions under the supervision of Hephaestus, and this process can be said to be the most critical forging.

If the description is successful, then this iron whip has a great possibility to transform into a second-level weapon; if it fails to 30, it can only be regarded as a good third-level weapon.

As for the price of the second and third level weapons, the minimum price is between 5 million, and there may even be a gap of tens of millions for good ones.

Take out a deep blue bone horn from the second pannier, which is the horn of a certain creature in the lower labyrinth, and smash it to carve inscriptions, which can maximize the overall hardness of the weapon.

Unlike Mage equipment, ordinary warriors don't need to consider factors related to magic, they only need to pay attention to the physical attributes.

Of course, that's not all.

If the skill has elemental attributes, or has magic itself, then you need to customize an exclusive weapon.

After completing the description of the physical properties, Qi Shaoyun glanced at the last basket, and there was actually a precious jade emitting a cold air inside.

This dark blue gem is only the size of a fingernail, but the cold air around it has made layers of frost form on the carrying basket.

"Is this an advanced ice-attribute material?!" he exclaimed.

This thing is a drop from the deep monster Frost Dragon. Just talking about this gem, the market price is 10 million mana!

Qi Shaoyun looked at his main god in bewilderment. It would be fine if it was just black gold with dual attributes of ice and water, but he even prepared the gem of the frost dragon.

He had even begun to suspect that Hephaestus didn't ask him to build his own weapons, but to build equipment for a second-level adventurer with ice attributes.

"Continue, your assessment is not over yet."

heard the words.

Despite his doubts, Qi Shaoyun continued to forge.

It is undoubtedly a waste to use this level of material to describe the inscription, so he chose to inlay this gem of the frost dragon directly on the end of the iron whip handle.

When the iron whip was completely completed, Wei Shaoyun immediately checked its attributes.

【Name: Unnamed】

"Ice Dragon"

Has a slight blow effect on the Frost Wyrm.

Slightly increase the conduction of water elements, and increase the magic of water elements by 5%.

Greatly improve the conduction of ice elements, and increase the magic of ice elements by 20%.

"Heart of Warrior"

Increase the user's strength attribute by 5%.

"indestructible"

Increases hardness by 20%.

"How about the attributes?"

The voice of Hephaestus beside him interrupted Qi Shaoyun's inspection.

Withdrawing his attention, the latter handed it over.

"Please go to God to inspect it."

Take the iron whip and check its properties.

After a while, Hephaestus gave the most honest evaluation.

"The ability to barely squeeze into the second-level armament also depends on the credit of the materials; but for a new blacksmith like you, it is already quite valuable.

"You passed the test this time."

With a faint smile on the corner of his mouth and undisguised satisfaction in his eyes, Hephaestus returned the iron whip to Qi Shaoyun.

"As a reward for passing the assessment, you can take this."

Under Qi Shaoyun's gaze, Hephaestus walked to a table not far away, seemed to pick up a book, and then walked back.

"Forging experience?"

After receiving the book from Hephaestus, seeing that there was no title on it, he thought it was something like forging experience written down by the other party.

The experience of the strongest blacksmith is absolutely valuable.

However, when he turned to the first page, he found that he couldn't understand half a word, and his consciousness also became dizzy for no reason.

"This, what's going on..."

After finishing this sentence with difficulty, Qi Shaoyun no longer touched the books on his hands, and fell backwards staggeringly.

Before he was completely unconscious, a thought flashed through his mind: this time it must be Tsubaki's hand.

Outside the sea of ​​consciousness, Hephaestus stepped forward to hug Qi Shaoyun who was about to fall.

Immediately, his eyes fell on the ground, on the book whose words had disappeared, and he muttered to himself in a low voice.

"It can be awakened just by looking at it. This kind of talent probably doesn't need external assistance, and it won't take long before it can be awakened on its own.

the next day.

When Qi Shaoyun woke up from the forced frustration for the second time, he didn't feel the pain in the back of his head like the day before, because today it was a pain in the head, which felt like the pain in the skull caused by the previous fever.

"I shouldn't have been knocked out by someone. Could it be that I hate studying so much that I can faint on the spot after reading a book."

He laughed wryly at himself.

Suddenly there was a "squeak", and the door was opened from the outside.

"Shaoyun, you finally woke up!"

A familiar voice came to his ears, and Xing walked in with a breakfast, seeing that Qi Shaoyun was awake, his little face suddenly showed joy.

"Fortunately? Have you completed the trial?"

"Well, I came back yesterday afternoon.

While talking, Xing put the food on the desk of room 783, and then picked up the washbasin to fetch water for Qi Shaoyun.

"You get up first to wash up and have breakfast, Lord Shangshen said that you haven't eaten all day and night, you should be very hungry now.

Needless to say, at this time Qi Shaoyun really felt very hungry.

After all, he had been forging in the studio since yesterday morning, and he didn't complete the assessment until dusk, and then he has been in a coma until now.

For 24 hours, he didn't eat a grain of rice.

Get up and wash up quickly, and then sit at the desk to eat.

Although it's just a very common family breakfast, but I can't help being hungry for a whole day.

"By the way, who sent me back yesterday?"

While gobbling, Qi Shaoyun asked about what happened yesterday, he wanted to understand the reason why he fainted yesterday.

Sitting next to him, Yu just watched him eat like that.

"Yesterday, Lord Shangshen personally sent you back, and later He even updated your attributes for you."

"Oh! That's right!" Seemingly thinking of something, the girl quickly found a piece of yellow paper, handed it to Qi Shaoyun, and said, "Master Shangshen told me to give this to you."

Looking at the material of this paper, it is obviously rubbing paper.

"Didn't you just update the attributes?"

The last time the attribute was updated was when the expedition returned.

It's just a matter of the day before yesterday, why is it suddenly updated for the second time.

With such doubts, Qi Shaoyun spread out the rubbing paper.
