Chapter 373 The Vanished Divine Weapon
The scene fell silent as everyone turned to look at Li the blacksmith and Qin Feng.
The NPCs present had all heard of the Tower of Babel, but none of them had ever entered it.
As for Chen Leying and the others, they had lost count of how many times they had cleared the tower, but the conversation between the two of them just now still attracted their full attention.
A divine weapon that can absorb demonic energy?
How could Li the blacksmith be able to forge such a weapon?
Qin Feng felt like her brain was about to explode from all the questions; she desperately needed an answer.
Does my dad know about this?
Ultimately, all the problems boil down to just one question.
Li the blacksmith: "He knows better than anyone else, because he's the one who gave me the materials to forge that divine weapon."
He slowly recounted the circumstances of his first meeting with Qin Zheng.
By then, he had already gained some fame, and many people would come to him to have weapons made.
Qin Zheng was one of them.
After learning about Qin Zheng's needs, he asked, puzzled, why he wanted to create such a weapon.
Qin Zheng did not tell him the reason at the time.
Out of respect for customer privacy, Li the blacksmith didn't ask any further questions.
However, the weapon Qin Zheng wanted to forge couldn't be made in just a few days; the materials alone were giving him a huge headache.
Qin Zheng seemed to know his difficulties, and one day he suddenly came to his door with some materials.
The materials he brought were actually a type of building material that had fallen from the body of the Tower of Babel, as well as some pig iron, which was quite different from ordinary iron.
He sensed something was wrong and pressed Qin Zheng about the origin of these materials.
Qin Zheng initially refused to speak, but after repeated questioning, he finally relented.
He said all the materials came from the Tower of Babel.
Li the blacksmith immediately wanted to refuse to forge weapons for Qin Zheng, because that was the Tower of Babel, and no one wanted to have anything to do with it.
Unexpectedly, Qin Zheng actually gave him the materials from the tower!
Qin Zheng said something that he would never forget: "Our peaceful life now will eventually be shattered. All sorts of alien beings will invade our homes and plunder our lives. The Tower of Babel is our only chance to survive."
Qin Zheng uttered utterly absurd words, but his expression was extremely solemn, as if... as if he had witnessed that day with his own eyes.
Li the blacksmith was so shocked by his words that he couldn't recover for a long time.
Qin Zheng also said that the weapon he was going to forge could absorb demonic energy, and the demonic energy in the Tower of Babel was the most concentrated.
When this weapon absorbs enough demonic energy, it will undergo a qualitative change, transforming into an indestructible divine weapon that can slay anyone who stands in its way.
Li the blacksmith had many questions, such as whether anyone who came into contact with this weapon would be harmed since it could absorb demonic energy.
For example, how much demonic energy does a weapon need to absorb to become a divine weapon?
For example, if a weapon absorbs a certain amount of demonic energy, can an ordinary person really control it?
Qin Zheng answered each question in turn.
"Those who come into contact with the weapon will suffer more severe damage than those affected by ordinary demonic energy."
"I don't know how much demonic energy the weapon needs to absorb, but as long as it's put into the Tower of Babel, it will succeed one day."
"A divine weapon is still a weapon after all, and there must be someone who can wield it."
Qin Zheng was very frank and told Li the blacksmith everything he knew.
After much deliberation, Li the blacksmith finally agreed to continue forging the weapon.
However, he made a condition: "Put the weapon into the Tower of Babel and come out immediately. It's too dangerous inside the tower; you can't stay there for long."
Qin Zheng agreed.
From that day on, he began to forge this weapon.
After countless failures, the weapon was finally completed one year later.
Qin Zheng took the weapon, and the two lost contact after that.
As time went by, he almost forgot about it.
It wasn't until he saw Qin Feng that he remembered that past memory.
After saying that, Li the blacksmith shook his head: "Your father promised me back then that he wouldn't linger in the Demon Tower, but he broke his promise in the end."
Qin Feng felt a sense of loss.
Li the blacksmith's expression turned serious. "That weapon must have been left in the Demon Tower. So many years have passed, who knows how much demonic energy it has absorbed? If no one can control it, it could be a disaster."
Meng Qingyin asked, "Master, what kind of weapon is that?"
After clearing so many floors, she had never seen a single weapon in the tower.
Could it be that Qin Zheng reached a higher level in the tower than she did back then?
But back when there were no breathing masks, how could they have reached a higher level than her?
The corrosive effect of demonic energy on the human body is no joke.
But if Qin Zheng didn't clear as many floors as she did, then on which floor did that weapon end up?
Li the blacksmith: "It's a three-pointed knife."
Meng Qingyin was certain that she had never seen it in the Demon Tower. "If I haven't seen it, could it have been left somewhere else?"
"Perhaps it has already been taken by someone," Qin Feng suddenly spoke up after being silent.
"Take it?" Meng Qingyin asked in surprise. "Who could it be?"
A face flashed through Qin Feng's mind.
"Ming and Qing Dynasties"
The Ming and Qing dynasties may have encouraged them to enter the tower because of this three-pointed dagger.
Meng Qingyin was naturally familiar with the name Ming Qing, but what she didn't understand was why Ming Qing took the three-pointed knife.
Isn't she afraid of being corrupted by demonic energy?
That's what she was thinking, so she asked the question.
A hint of confusion flashed in Qin Feng's eyes: "Who knows?"
Back then, Mingqing insisted on clearing the tower despite her friend's life or death, and after Chen Sha died, she never saw Mingqing again.
Who knows what her motives were?
Qingfeng remembered something and said, "I remember that Mingqing's father, Ming Ziqian, once went into the Tower of Babel with my uncle."
She heard this story from the adults when she was very young.
The adults said that Qin Zheng took Ming Ziqian and three other ignorant young boys into the Demon Tower.
Surprisingly, they emerged from the magic tower unharmed, seemingly without any danger.
Later, persuaded by their respective families, they never entered the Magic Tower again, at least not outwardly.
At that time, Qin Feng and the others were only a little over two years old.
Later, Mingziqian had an accident while going out again and never returned.
Qin Zheng and his team suddenly lost a member, and since they promised not to enter the Demon Tower again, everyone relaxed their vigilance towards them, assuming that they would not enter the Demon Tower again.
Could the death of Ming Ziqian and the disappearance of the Ming and Qing dynasties be related to this event?
