Chapter 896: The Red King (1)
Finally arrived in the small town of Vandersey.
Seeing that there were only a few families in the town, and the only tavern was not as small as the bedroom of Young Master Leon's house, the young master of William's family had a bitter expression on his face. I thought I could have a good time when I got to the town. As a result, where this kind of bird doesn't, it doesn't have any money to spend when it wants to. In a tavern like this, you can buy a large glass of bitter ale for a dollar, but you really don't want to be more expensive. When he got out of the car, Leon was already thinking about whether to find a woman who was quite acceptable and talk about a calm love to pass the time.
Lucy temporarily accompanies Leon to the tavern, while Alan finds Bavent's blacksmith himself. Early in the morning, the chimney of the house kept smoking. Those who are familiar with Bavent know that this blacksmith has been eccentric lately. Not only did he put down all his work, but he also got up early every day to work for the first time, which was unimaginable before.
The door of the blacksmith was hidden, and Alan raised his hand and snapped it, calling the blacksmith's name. An old man's voice rang out inside: "The door is unlocked, won't it roll in by itself?" ”
Alan pushed the door open.
The room was like a furnace, boiling hot.
Bavent stood barefoot topless and wearing a pair of baggy trousers. With his back to Allen, he kept hammering next to the stove. On the black iron hammer, the hammer head was red, and the hammer body emitted green smoke, obviously the temperature was extremely high. Bavent was stunned, hammer after hammer, mechanical, but every movement was extremely precise.
Alan stood behind him and didn't dare to disturb.
With another hammer, Bavent lowered the hammer and reached into a nearby basin. The basin was full of water, and as soon as his hands entered, the water suddenly turned black and red. After washing his hands, the old blacksmith turned around. glanced at Allen, picked up a wine jug next to him and took a sip, wiped the wine stains on the beard on the side of his mouth, and said, "Horn's grandson?" ”
Alan nodded.
Bavent beckoned and motioned for him to walk over. Without saying a word, Alan walked to the edge of the stove, only to see that the tools were rudimentary, and there was an anvil next to the stove, on which lay a knife embryo. The knife embryo was full of fiery red, and the edge of the knife that was still open was even more red. After standing for a few seconds, beads of sweat were already faint on Allen's forehead, and he turned around: "This is Qianjun?" ”
"Or else?" Bavent narrowed his eyes, looked at the knife embryo on the anvil and said, "I will melt the broken blade of Qianjun, the fragments and corners sent by Lord Horn, and the heart of the god of fire. After making this knife embryo, there is no more Qianjun. Originally, I was going to tell Master Horn to come over with you, but you came by yourself, which is good. It still needs to be done today, to be able to make it well. But from now on, the final steps are up to you. ”
Alan didn't ask why, and nodded directly: "What to do?" ”
Bavent saw that he was acting crisply, and there was a little less coldness in his eyes. He stepped forward, held the hammer in one hand, fixed the blade with iron pliers in the other, and then smashed it down with the hammer. Again and again, the iron blade struck the knife embryo sparks, and from time to time a puff of flame erupted from the knife, no wonder the heat in this room was amazing. Bavent hammered ten times, put down the hammer and looked at Allen: "How is it?" ”
Alan exhaled, "I'll try." ”
The blacksmith stepped back, and Eren stood in his place. Reaching out to grasp the iron edge, as soon as the palm of his hand touched the handle, he felt that the hammer was amazingly hot. Hold it tightly again, and the hand grip is uneven. When the hammer was lifted, it was even more staggering, and Alan was slightly surprised.
Bavent picked up the flask and said, "This thing and Qianjun are the same material. ”
Eren was relieved, and then raised his hammer and struck. After knocking several times, the palm of the hand hurt, and a wisp of blood oozed from between the fingers, swimming down the hammer body and quickly evaporating. But Allen's perception was so acute now, and he immediately noticed that a wisp of pure aura remained in his blood, and pressed into the knife embryo with the action of hammering. As soon as the blood qi entered the knife embryo, a puff of flames immediately led out, and an indescribable feeling appeared between Eren and the knife embryo.
He paused, and Badent didn't explain this time. Alan didn't ask, the action kept moving, repeating the boring mechanical action.
This knock lasted three hours.
For the first hour, Bavent was drinking sullen wine beside him.
The next hour, Bavent dozed off beside him.
In the third hour, the old blacksmith looked at the back of Allen swinging his hammer without even blinking an eye.
When the three hours were up, he shouted to stop. Alan lowered the hammer, and his palm was ground into a bloodstain by the iron lump on the handle of the hammer. Then the blacksmith brought a basin of water and said, "Wash it and continue in the afternoon." ”
Alan washed his hands and asked, "How many more days?" ”
"At least three days."
"Then I'll find a hotel to stay in."
Bavent shook his head and said, "There is only one hotel in town, and the price is too dark, so stay at my house." ”
Alan smiled genuinely, "That's better." ”
So the three of them moved into Bavent's house that day, and Alan and Bavent were busy working in the blacksmith. A hammer, one pointing from time to time. Lucy took care of the daily life of these young and old men, and it was rare to have a young girl in the family, and Lucy cleaned up the blacksmith's house, and also cooked and cooked by herself, and was also very busy. Leon was the only one who was a big idler, and the young master was so charming that he had already asked the mayor's granddaughter to linger in the tavern that night.
In the next few days, Allen was extremely boring except for swinging the hammer and swinging the hammer. The next day, Leon vowed to give Alan a hand, and by the afternoon he had run away. Alan showed the concentration and patience that was rare in his age, and he didn't get impatient with a hammer and smashing it hundreds of times. In this way, by the afternoon of the third day, the knife embryo on the anvil was no longer as red as when it first appeared, and the red light on the knife was much more restrained. With each swing of the hammer, as the pure blood qi continued to inject into the knife embryo, Allen's connection with it became stronger and stronger.
He could feel the fire source power active in the knife embryo, and these source forces gradually resonated with it. When he remembered that he had been tricked by the Federation, the color of the knife embryo was red, and the source power in the knife rushed and roared. When he thought of Lucy and Catherine's daughters, his heart was peaceful, and the color of the sword was as warm as jade, and the source power flowed slowly like a stream. At dusk, Alan hammered down, remembering the determination in his mother's eyes when she said goodbye, the knife embryo lit up, spewing out red flames, and immediately the hot smoke of the iron shop billowed out. When the smoke cleared, the blade was no longer red, but a deep vermilion, and there was a faint flame that lingered like smoke.
Bavent's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said, "It's done, it's just the last process tomorrow." ”
Alan put down the hammer and reached into the basin to wash the blood off his palm. Then I looked at the long knife that was only a line away from completion, and I felt that flesh and blood were connected. The long knife also echoed, and a red light flashed from the depths of the blade, like a swimming dragon.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the door.
Bavent frowned and pushed the door open. It happened that several young people rushed by in a panic, and one of them was dragged by the blacksmith and asked, "What are you doing in a panic?" ”
Seeing that it was a blacksmith, the young man cried out, "Go quickly, Master Bavent, the town is going to suffer, and it is the man of the iron wolf." ”
"Iron wolf? They weren't in Grizzly Town, more than a hundred kilometers away, so how did they come to us? ”
"Who knows? Now the mayor of the town and his guard team are going to negotiate with them, but there are only about a dozen of us in the guard, and there are fifty or sixty of them, and they are all armed! The young man broke free from the blacksmith's hand: "I have to go home and see, if not, I can only take my family to the mountains to hide, hey." ”
The blacksmith looked at him, turned and went back into the house to get the hammer that struck iron. As soon as his hand touched the hammer, Alan gently pressed the back of his hand and said lightly, "I'll take a look." ”
There was a mess in the tavern.
Leon was still leaning back in his chair, and on his lap sat a fairly handsome young woman. Hearing the commotion outside, the girl fidgeted, Leon shook the bad wine in the cup and said, "Don't panic, isn't it just a small armed group." When Lao Tzu was beating a cane on the surface a few years ago, he didn't miss the nest of these thugs. Dear Juliet, you just wait here, I'll go and ......"
Suddenly, a figure passed by out of the corner of his eye, and Leon looked intently, just in time to see Alan winking at him. The eldest young master shrugged: "Okay, this limelight can't be done." ”
The girl named Juliet looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Leon said angrily at Allen's distant back, "I didn't see that guy, that's right." That's my brother, don't look like he's so tender, that guy is so much better than me. Damn, this kid is too lucky. I accidentally got up to level 25, and I worked hard to get two levels up......"
Young Master Leon let out a long sigh, and only focused his energy on the simple girl with a fresh temperament on his legs. Accustomed to eating big meals, it's not bad to change the light taste once in a while, Leon thought with a smile as he looked at the girl.
On this day, the people of the town were in a mess. The Iron Wolves are a bad man, and the men are desperately prepared, while the women and children are hiding at home. Then they saw one of the young men who had come to the blacksmith's house the other day quietly walking out of the village, and one could not guess his intentions. Then the roar of machine guns and explosions rang out outside the town, but soon the sounds died down. A moment later the young man returned, and there was nothing unusual about him, except that the snow on the road had quietly melted as he passed.
From outside the town to the blacksmith's house, the young man treads a smooth path in the snow.
Until night fell, there was no iron wolf to appear. It wasn't long before the mayor and the guards returned, and everyone had strange faces. After a while, at last, a young man who couldn't help but be tormented by curiosity dared to take a look outside the town, and was immediately speechless. I saw that the snow in the open space outside the town had melted, and there were more than a dozen charred corpses lying on the bare ground, as well as the remains of some locomotives.
Only the mayor and the guards knew that Alan went out of town alone, lit a fire with both hands, and wiped out a third of Iron Wolf's men, while the rest were so frightened that they fled.
