After turning off the system, Henry stared at the heated greatsword, his mouth a little dry from the scorching air around him. It didn't take long for the blade to turn crimson, and he quickly picked up the tongs and placed the greatsword on the felt, then grabbed the hammer next to him and struck it vigorously. The crisp sound of striking iron reminded him of the days when he was learning to forge with Kai, the hammer kept hitting the blade, and beautiful sparks flew in all directions.

The whole process continued for a while, and it was not until he changed the center of gravity of the sword again that he lowered the hammer and stopped. Put the greatsword into the bucket next to it to cool down, then he lifted the sword and swung it a few times to test the feel, and then sat on the stone bench next to him and began to sharpen the blade with a grinding wheel, Vaughn had already finished looting the loot, he stood quietly and watched without making a sound. It took a while for Henry to polish the blade, and he took out a vial of dragon blood and poured it evenly on the sword and began to chant the incantation. The dragon's blood followed the sound of the spell and slowly soaked into the pattern, not a drop of it spilled on the ground. Henry felt his strength drained before he stopped, and by the time the ritual was complete, he collapsed on the ground.

When the orc warrior saw Henry fall, he hurriedly ran over to help him up. "Head! You're out of business. Would you like to drink a bottle of healing potion? ”

Henry gasped. "No, I'm fine, it's just that I just took a lot of stamina. Now go and bring the sword and show me it. ”

Vaughn carefully sat down on a stone bench to the side, then strode over to the felt and picked up the greatsword. Gripping the hilt of the sword, he felt a burst of powerful magical energy, and swung it a few times, bursts of red and green magic light appeared on the sword, and he walked to Henry with the giant sword and handed it over. Henry grasped the hilt of his sword and made it out, and specific information appeared in his mind.

Giant Slayer:

This two-handed greatsword is made from the hottest special metal extracted from magma. It was held by a fire giant and killed a large number of his compatriots. Stained with the blood of giants and the resentment of its wielder, and later tempered by the blood of the black dragon, this sword is a powerful magical weapon.

Special Abilities:

Inflicts fire and acid damage when attacking

Extra damage bonus against giants

Increases the amount of power the holder

Looking at the attributes of this two-handed greatsword, a satisfied smile appeared on Henry's face, it was the most powerful weapon he had ever built. He then tossed the greatsword to the orc warrior. "Vaughn, this sword is yours now. I hope you will be able to use it well in the future. ”

Vaughn's eyes widened, and he gently touched the weapon with a trembling hand. After many years of living in the Northland, he knew very well how valuable this greatsword was, and after taking a deep breath, he said to Henry, "Head! This weapon is too precious. Please forgive me for not accepting it. ”

Henry lifted his aching arm and patted him on the shoulder. "You're the only one of us who is a warrior, and now you have a good weapon that you don't give it to. And you are still my bodyguard, and it is my duty to arm you. ”

The orc warrior hesitated for a moment, then stood up, clenched the hilt of his sword with both hands, and rushed the head down in a half-kneeling position. "Vaughn, son of the chieftain of the Otto tribe, swears that I will be your sword from now on."

Henry smiled happily, after so much time together and fighting side by side, today the orc warrior finally swore allegiance to him. "I accept your allegiance, and you will be my warrior from this day forward." With that, Henry stood up and helped him up.

Debra stood in the distance and happened to see this scene, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned into a smile. Then she approached and said to Vaughn, "Congratulations, we are true companions from now on." If you need any help in the future, you can always come to me. With that, she held out a hand.

The orc warrior scratched his head, then reached out and shook it gently. "Xie Lu Xie, if there are any problems in the future, I will go and ask you for advice. You mages have better brains than I do, and if you hadn't figured out the weakness of the fire giants today, we wouldn't have been able to win so easily. ”

Henry stood aside and smiled. "Alright, we're going to rest here for a while. Vaughn you go camp and Debra cooks. There's so much hot lava here that we don't even need to light a campfire. ”

The two of them took the order and went about their work, Vaughn hanging the greatsword on the hook on the back of his armor, and he didn't want to part with the Giant Slayer for a moment. Looking at the appearance of the orc warriors, Henry suddenly wanted to go to the Ten Towns in the North to have a look, and he really wanted to recruit a large number of barbarians. These guys hate magic, but they are loyal to their oaths and value honor, and they make very good men.

After the two of them walked away, he secretly glanced at the system, and the Forged Giant Chaser had consumed 10,000 experience points, no wonder he almost collapsed. Soon Vaughn set up a tent in the clearing that the mage had cleared, and Debra's food was cooked. After the two mages had eaten, they each returned to their tents to rest, and the orc warrior sat alone at the mouth of the cave, wiping his two weapons in front of him, glancing at the situation in the distance from time to time.

Eight hours passed quickly, and the two mages had woken up, and after a well-rested rest, they had regained their spell slots. Henry stuffed the loot that Vaughn had found yesterday into the dimensional bag, along with the tent, and everyone simply ate some jerky and bread, and then returned to the front of the metal gate. Debra pulled out the Giant's Eye and placed it in the keyhole, and the massive iron door vibrated before slowly opening open. Then a mechanical voice rang out: "Well done! You have successfully passed the first test and are now ready to move on to the next level. As a token of appreciation, the treasure in this chest is yours. ”

Hyung rubbed his forehead with his hand. "I have to say that Helast is really very game-oriented, and he actually gave treasures to adventurers who passed the test."

The orc warrior cracked his mouth and laughed. "I love treasures, let me open them and see what's inside." With that, Vaughn walked over and opened the box on the ground.

Debra soon noticed the orc's sluggish expression, and she walked over to see that the huge box contained only a cute kitten. The little guy had gray and blue fur and was meowing. The mage gently picked it up, and the kitten licked her face affectionately. Vaughn sighed. "This is our treasure? A palm-sized kitten? If it is stewed into soup, it will not be enough for a bowl!"

The little guy furried at Vaughn's words, and stared at him with vicious eyes, and Debra hurriedly hugged it tightly, and after a while of soothing it, the kitten calmed down. She then said to the orc warrior, "Shut up, don't scare it." What a cute little guy I decided to make it my own.

Henry looked at the kitten carefully. "I don't think this cat is ordinary, and there is no need for Helast, as a legendary mage, to tease adventurers like this. It's still a little small, though, so you'll have to keep an eye on it, or you'll soon be eaten by other dangerous monsters here. ”

"I'll be optimistic about this little one." As she spoke, Debra put the kitten in a pocket around her waist, leaving only her head exposed. The little guy looked around curiously, rubbing the female mage's clothes from time to time.

Solving the problem of the cat, Henry led the group into the tunnel. After walking along the dark passage for more than ten minutes, the line of sight suddenly became clear, and countless torches burning with magical flames were inserted on both sides of the walls of the second floor of the castle under the mountain. Henry used the Mage's Eye to scout ahead and found that it was a huge labyrinth, and the entire area was blessed with special magic, so no one or creature could fly. He turned his head to look at Debra and sighed. "It's not a small area, and it's certainly not going to be easy to get out of this labyrinth. And there's not just a fork in the road, I'm sure all sorts of traps and monsters are waiting for us. ”

The female mage touched the cat hanging from her waist. "It reminds me of the apprenticeship test, when the instructor also left us in a maze looking for an exit."

Henry was stunned and then asked, "Your apprenticeship test is also a maze?" I thought I was the only one who had this experience, it was a nightmare. ”

Debra burst out laughing. "Almost the vast majority of mages will use this method for apprenticeship testing, and I've heard that Red Robe and Nethersoul City are even more rigorous."

"It looks like I'm going to relive this nightmare now, and hopefully I won't encounter a species as powerful as the previous one." Saying that, Henry blessed the iron sheet and walked in the front after the operation. The female mage kept a certain distance and followed, and the orc warrior held a two-handed greatsword in charge of the rear of the hall. With each step, Henry poked the ground with his staff to see if there were any traps, and the two men behind him followed him in the footsteps he had walked. After a few steps, suddenly the ground was sunk by the poked stones, and the walls on both sides revealed a large number of arrow holes. Countless arrows were fired, and Henry crawled directly to the ground to avoid most of the attacks, and the others were also blocked by the Iron Skin.

Getting up from the ground, he shook off the dust on his body, picked up an arrow and looked at it. "It's all poisoned, and that's just the beginning. It's full of dangers, and you all have to be extra careful. ”

Vaughn picked up the arrow and sniffed the ** on it. "Head! I know this toxin, which is the venom of a viper called Saarion. After entering the bloodstream, the body's body temperature drops rapidly until the whole body is completely frozen into ice. In the vicinity of Ten Towns, there are countless adventurers who are bitten to death by this snake every year.
