Chapter 71: On the eve of the decisive battle! Players hold...
The players took their freshly made weapons and the 'reward items' they received from the villagers, and followed a group of tall men back to their residence in Sunforge Village.
Luche, who did not go out, seemed to have expected this and had already prepared tea, coffee and other drinks for them on the temporary conference table.
"So, what's the result?" Luche asked with a smile.
"Perfect experience! It's a perfect sword!" The player was the first to open his weapon box and took out the engraved red sword - it was almost exactly the same as his own sealed sword, especially the words engraved on it.
"It's a red knife, and the words on it are...Evil Ghost Destroyer?" Feng, who was closest to the knife, saw the words engraved on the red knife first and couldn't help but read them out loud.
"That's right!" The player raised his chin, "After all, it's about killing evil spirits. I think this will make me look more professional." It can put some verbal pressure on those cannibals!
"But my primary weapon is a sword. I need to get more familiar with using a knife." The player poked the red knife and asked, "Mr. Feng, what about yours?"
"I'm just an ordinary long sword," Feng said, opening the weapon box in front of him. "After all, I'm proficient in boxing, and only have a basic understanding of swords."
The player leaned over to take a look - inside the weapon box was indeed a seemingly ordinary knife, but with a few special notches near the back of the knife.
"...Mr. Feng, is this an ordinary knife?" The player, who was particularly sensitive to swords and knives, looked at him with dead eyes and said expressionlessly, "Just try to trick the cannibals, but don't try to trick your own people, okay?"
If you stab the knife in and then pull it out, I'm afraid it can instantly take away a piece of the enemy's flesh!
"How could that be, Aurora?" Feng chuckled softly, picked up the weapon, and demonstrated it briefly. "It's really just an ordinary long sword, with a few inconspicuous details."
"No one will believe you..."
"It does look very ordinary."
Before the player could finish her words, a louder voice covered up the last syllable of what she wanted to say, and the meaning of the words successfully made the player swallow the rest of the words.
Turning around, he saw that the person who had just spoken was indeed the 'silly and innocent' Scarlu. The player rubbed his forehead and kept silent.
Scarlu didn't understand the meaning of Aurora's look at all. He opened the weapon box with great interest and took out his customized weapon - an extremely wide long sword with a motorcycle helmet engraved on the base of the sword in a very conspicuous way.
"How about it, super handsome!"
...No one answered.
—The air is filled with awkward crows—
"Hey, what's wrong? Isn't this handsome?" Skarlu said dissatisfiedly.
"Hmph, flashy but useless." Willdi gave him a mocking look and spoke with venom. "Skarlu, if you think about it with your poor brain, you'll know that what we're making are weapons, not toys."
"The blade is so thin, and there's a ridiculous motorcycle helmet shape at the base of the long sword. Don't wait for the blade to bend just after you chop down an ogre." Willdi criticized Scarlu's weapon for nothing.
"What! It's not a toy. I've thought about it carefully, okay?"
"Besides, I only carved a motorcycle helmet. Aurora's knife has words carved on it. Why don't you laugh at her?" Skarluk retorted loudly, shifting the blame to someone else. He then asked, "What kind of weapon do you have?"
Player: ...? A mere Skarlu dares to tease me?
"Well, let me show you this weapon that I forged after countless calculations and evolutions!" Emperor Will opened the weapon box.
"Let me see what it is? Uh...?" The player looked over and fell silent.
"Two...two sticks? They're this big?" Scarlu pointed at the weapon box and laughed loudly. "What? You're actually laughing at me? Aren't my weapons much more normal than yours?"
"At least I can lift my weapon myself. Can you lift yours?"
"Isn't it true that Willi has no intention of playing himself?" Lal Mirchi said in a strong voice, folding his arms.
"That's right. As a scientific researcher, I must have the awareness of a scientific researcher. Going into battle myself is not my choice." Willi nodded.
"But I simply can't turn a blind eye to my desires. I must see with my own eyes what kind of creature that Ghost King is." Willdi pushed his glasses and said, "So I decided to send my most powerful robot to go with you."
"And these are the two long sticks I tailor-made for my robot! Don't be fooled by the fact that they look like two sticks, but they actually have many clever little features!" Willdi picked up the sticks with difficulty and introduced them like treasures.
"Look at the edge of this stick. Here I've used scientific..."
Skarlu: "So, you didn't deny that these two things are sticks..."
"Wildi, you are really different from other owners of the thunder-attributed Death Flame..." the player complained silently.
Taking on the damage suffered by the family alone and becoming the family's lightning rod... this has nothing to do with Emperor Weil.
The player thought about all the owners of the Thunder-attribute Death Flame he had encountered, and he should not be able to find anyone like Will Emperor - this guy really was an accident!
Reborn raised the corners of his lips and pressed down the top hat on his head, obviously he had expected this.
"Although I think things are not as simple as you think, never mind, I don't feel like complaining today..." The player turned to someone else, "Where's Sister Lal?"
"Mine is very simple, similar to a Swiss Army knife, but considering the characteristics of ghosts, I made it a little longer." Lal Mirchi opened his weapon box. Inside was a simple long knife, quite sharp and light.
"Hehe, mine is the same." Colonillo also opened the weapon box in front of him. The shape of the long sword inside was similar to the one in Lal Milch's weapon box.
"...Damn blond guy, look how pretty you are." The player pouted, but when he saw Colanolo being elbowed by the angry Lal again, he immediately curled up the corners of his mouth and felt relieved.
"Mine is also very simple." Before the player could ask, Viper revealed the answer first, "After all, warlocks who know physical skills are heretics."
Having said that, Viper did not take out his weapon box. In his words, you can look at it, but you have to pay for it. Everyone refused.
"Damn it, one day you'll suffer a great loss because of your lack of physical skills, Viper!" The player who failed to peek puffed up his cheeks and said unwillingly.
"Although I don't know which day you mean..., but we'll talk about it when the time comes." Viper was not fooled by Aurora at all.
“Tsk.”
"As for mine..." After watching the excitement, Reborn finally unfastened the hidden buckle on the weapon box and took out his customized weapon. After carefully examining it, he nodded with satisfaction, "The workmanship is very exquisite. It looks pretty good."
"It looks like an enlarged cross," the player said.
"It's either like or it is," said Reborn.
"But... there's another secret in my weapon box." The man in the top hat raised the corner of his lips, put his finger on his lips, and kept the secret.
"Haha, it seems you've gained quite a bit." Lu Qie smiled upon seeing this, "Then you can try injecting the Death Flame into it."
"Death Flame?" Emperor Wille raised an eyebrow. "Can this kind of ore actually withstand the baptism of Death Flame? I thought only high-quality gems could do that?"
If it is really possible to use minerals instead of gems, wouldn't the world be in chaos again?
"Originally it was not possible, but this is a gift from the turbulent stars. It is... very rare." What Luche said was still a little difficult to understand for the players.
"The Ghost King is an unexpected existence that shouldn't have appeared, and the same goes for the Sun Wheel Sword." Lu Qie clenched her fists and placed them on her chest. Her dark blue eyes looked even emptier under the light.
"So, the right time, right place, and right people..." Feng understood a little.
"Then why doesn't Sister Luche take the opportunity to make one?" The player asked Luche, who had not gone out all day.
"Because... I can't use it?" Luche was a little confused. All the women in her clan had short lives, and they were all prophets.
The innate wisdom, the foresight of the future, and the responsibilities that the family needs to bear are enough to overwhelm each generation.
"My flame can only barely support my foresight. I don't think I can do anything else." The woman with long blue hair said very bluntly.
"This is a gift, so it must be a good thing. Don't miss it." And it is a unique gift that will never be missed.
"It seems that even if we produce it now, it will not be able to catch up..." The player looked at Luche with a look of disapproval.
Suddenly, the player's glasses lit up!
"What a coincidence! It's Luche-san." The player pulled out a small gadget from his backpack. "This is a little gadget I asked Coast-kun to make for me. I'm giving it to you."
"Although it looks good but is not practical, this way, you will have a unique gift. It's also nice to have a symbol." The player spread out his hand - it was an exquisite knife with lovely flower petals on it.
"Don't worry, I made two."
“…” Luche took the knife.
"...So it was at this time. Thank you, Aurora." Luche looked at the petals on the knife that were exactly the same as those at the corners of her eyes, and finally understood how big a variable Aurora would be in the future she met.
The threads that disrupt the trajectory of the stars, Aurora always has the ability to surprise people...
No matter how many difficulties lie ahead, please persevere, because you are...
Luche stared at the petite black-haired girl in front of her, pouring all the words she wanted to say into that one look.
…
"Why? I suddenly feel so redundant." Scarlu rarely understood the atmosphere. Looking at the atmosphere between Luche and Aurora that did not allow any interference, he said in a low voice.
Willdi was concentrating on testing the two sticks and ignored his complaints.
"Hmm? Really?" Colanillo took a sip of coffee, his face wrinkled with bitterness. He gave up and picked up his favorite carbonated drink and took a big sip. "Isn't this just a normal gift? After all, Luche didn't choose to forge swords with us, so it's normal for Aurora to give her a gift."
"Aurora has always been more preferential to women, hasn't it?" Colonello, whose heart was mostly devoted to Lal, was a little confused when he saw Scarlu ask such a question.
"Is... is that so?" Scarlu recalled Aurora's hateful expression when she had tormented him, Verdi, and Viper, and also remembered how she had pretended to be good in front of Luche and Lal Milch. He nodded hesitantly, "It seems... it seems to be so."
"Yeah, so don't say you're redundant." Kronero patted Scarlu's shoulder disapprovingly and said with some self-mockery, "If I have to say it, I'm the redundant one."
"What? No, no, no, Colano, don't say that..." Scarlu was shocked.
Reborn watched as the two of them continued their conversation smoothly, their seemingly irrelevant conversation continuing: "...Alright, let's discuss the details of slaying the Demon King."
If he keeps listening to it, his brain might start to go crazy.
Feng: “I agree.”
Lal Mirchi: “Agreed.”
