Chapter 393 Compromise
Li the blacksmith had no knowledge of demonic energy; he was just an ordinary blacksmith.
When he heard Meng Qingyin say "remove the demonic nature of the Three-Pointed Knife," he instinctively felt it was impossible.
This three-pointed dagger has absorbed a lot of demonic energy, and its demonic nature is deeply rooted. Is it still possible to remove it?
Furthermore, this magical artifact can grant power, but the price to gain that power is enormous; a slight misstep could cost one's life. Out of selfishness, he didn't want Xiao Meng to take that risk.
Faced with Meng Qingyin's burning gaze, he hardened his heart and refused: "Little Meng, listen to my advice. This three-pointed dagger has absorbed too much demonic energy. Its demonic nature is deeply rooted. Ordinary people simply cannot control it. There is also a great possibility that it will backfire on them! Now that it is not in the Demon Tower, it cannot absorb more demonic energy. This is consistent with our original purpose. You should not interfere anymore."
Although he and Xiao Meng are not related by blood, he has already regarded Xiao Meng as his own daughter and absolutely cannot stand by and watch her take risks.
Hearing what Li the blacksmith said, Meng Qingyin was somewhat disappointed: "Master, do you want me to give up?"
Li the blacksmith gritted his teeth: "Yes, I hope you give up. Let's all stop being so fixated on the three-pointed knife."
This is a demonic artifact; it's best to keep your distance.
He knew that if he left the three-pointed dagger at the entrance of the Demon Tower unattended, someone might approach it out of curiosity and get hurt.
But he couldn't care less about all that; all he wanted was to ensure Xiao Meng's safety!
Meng Qingyin looked at him and said softly, "But Master, Qin Zheng concealed the truth and asked you to help him forge the Three-Pointed Blade because one day in the future, the Three-Pointed Blade will become a weapon to protect all of us. Just as you want to protect me, I also want to protect you and Brother Tie Niu, and I also want to protect my friends."
People are inherently selfish.
Her master didn't want her to take any risks, so he made her give up the Three-Pointed Knife in order to protect her.
She wanted to use the three-pointed knife for her own purposes, out of a desire to protect them.
She doesn't want to see her loved ones and friends die at the hands of outsiders someday.
Li the blacksmith's eyes reddened: "Is there no other way besides the three-pointed knife?"
“No,” Meng Qingyin said. “The Three-Pointed Knife is our only chance, so I want to seize it.”
She grasped Li the blacksmith's hand and pleaded earnestly, "Master, please, I'm begging you, please help me."
Li the blacksmith could no longer utter a word of refusal.
In the end, Li the blacksmith had no choice but to agree.
He went back and got some tools, and immediately began his research.
Qin Feng returned after settling Ming Qing's funeral arrangements. She knew more about demonic energy than Li the blacksmith, and with her there, Li the blacksmith could understand demonic energy more quickly.
Only by understanding can we study methods to remove the demonic nature of the Three-Pointed Knife.
Meng Qingyin told everyone to go back and rest, and that she would stay here to assist the two of them.
Before we knew it, dawn had broken, and a brand new day had begun.
The three people, who hadn't slept all night, showed no sign of wanting to rest.
If Qingfeng hadn't brought them breakfast and insisted that they finish eating and go to rest, the three of them would probably still be working non-stop.
Under pressure from Qingfeng, the three of them quickly ate a couple of bites and went to rest.
Qingfeng brought Meng Qingyin's train over, and the three of them went back to the train and fell asleep immediately.
He slept for the entire morning.
Meng Qingyin was the first to wake up. She tiptoed toward the car door without disturbing Li the blacksmith and Qin Feng, who were still asleep.
Since the train was parked near the Tower of Babel, many players who came to farm the tower saw her train.
Some people cast curious glances from afar, while others took one look and then walked into the tower without looking to the side.
Of course, most people just glanced at it and didn't intend to go up and disturb it.
A very small number of people approached the vehicle with ill intentions, wanting to get in and find out what was going on.
With a train this large, there must be a lot of supplies inside. If the owner is killed, wouldn't the supplies inside the train become his?
That's what that blockhead thinks.
However, he didn't dare to go alone, so he encouraged the people he teamed up with to rob the train together.
It must be said that birds of a feather flock together.
Those who teamed up with the blockhead were all people of bad character and unclear minds.
They hit it off immediately and stealthily approached the train.
At this moment, Meng Qingyin had just arrived at the door.
Before she even got off the bus, she saw five men with ill intentions approaching her.
This time, the blockhead was smarter; he deliberately slowed down and walked at the very back of the crowd.
Even if a fight breaks out later, he won't get hurt.
Just as he was praising himself for his rare wit, he looked up and met Meng Qingyin's expressionless face.
Mu was shocked; she never expected that this car belonged to Mengmeng!
He suffered a lot at Mengmeng's hands, and he's almost developed a conditioned reflex to it.
Upon seeing Mengmeng, his first reaction was to run.
But then I thought, there are five of them, why would they be afraid of her alone?
Thinking this way, he regained his confidence.
The people in front were from other servers that were merged after the server merge, and they didn't know Mengmeng at all.
Upon seeing that the car owner was a woman, they immediately relaxed their guard and urged Meng Qingyin to obediently hand over the train and the supplies inside.
Meng Qingyin was too lazy to deal with this rabble; her son took care of them in one go.
The last straggler in the crowd tried to run, but the next second, a heavy knife pierced his chest from behind.
The blockhead never expected the other party to be so fast, so fast that he didn't even have a chance to use the teleportation card.
He soon collapsed in a pool of blood, his body turning into a box.
Having resolved these troubles, Meng Qingyin had Da Xue and the others clear the ground, while she herself went to the Three-Pointed Knife.
The three-pointed sword still stands on the ground, and many players have gathered here.
They were unaware of the power of the three-pointed dagger. Some thought it was a good weapon and wanted to take it, but before they could even get close, their skin was cut by demonic energy, which eroded their consciousness, and they subsequently lost consciousness.
Everyone who saw this was so frightened that they all took a step back.
Seeing Meng Qingyin come out, they took another step back in fright—they had all witnessed Meng Qingyin's effortless "victory" in dealing with five people. Although the five had started the trouble, the fact that Meng Qingyin had dealt with them so easily still made the players uneasy.
People may feel jealous of those who are similar in ability to themselves.
However, when faced with someone whose strength is vastly different from their own, they feel fear and trepidation.
They were terrified that if the other party became unhappy, they would immediately go to meet the King of Hell as well.
The crowd fell silent, trembling with fear.
Meng Qingyin understood their intentions, and her expression grew even colder.
Seeing her displeased expression, the crowd took a few steps back again.
Meng Qingyin was very satisfied with the result.
She looked coldly at the crowd. "This weapon is mine. Anyone who tries to take it will face my wrath."
The Tri-Pointed Knife is still in the research stage, and we cannot allow other players to interrupt the progress.
Ideally, the solution should be implemented once and for all, instilling fear in other players so they won't crowd together anymore.
