Furnace college, underground laboratory.

"Is that... This?"

The little wizard lying on the table asked in a trembling voice. His eyes as blue as a dome seemed to overflow tears, and his expression seemed to be a believer who had witnessed a miracle.

It was a silver white metal with octagonal shape, which was placed in the center of the velvet pad. Even in the shadow, it seemed to twinkle with Yingying brilliance, smooth and clean, like a mirror, and more like opaque crystal.

"Secret silver, and it is the most refined secret silver." the alchemist standing behind her looked a little proud:

"There are only two alchemy colleges in the Empire capable of forging, and the furnace college is one of them."

"How beautiful..."

AI Yin's eyes looked like a girl who saw exquisite jewelry. In addition to muttering in a low voice, she only sighed: "I haven't seen such a beautiful secret silver in lottel or even eboden. Should such a piece weigh more than two pounds?"

"3.2 pounds, that's right. As we all know, it's very difficult to refine it. Even dwarves can only obtain one fifth of the secret silver from the raw ore with the highest purity, and our technology is much inferior. One tenth is an extremely rare achievement."

The alchemist nodded helplessly, as if he remembered something. He couldn't help but sigh: "coupled with the obstruction of the church, so..."

The suddenly awakened alchemist closed his mouth.

"So what?" but the little wizard had heard it.

"Well, nothing - you know, this metal is very rare and can only be obtained by trading with dwarves." the alchemist had to answer: "coupled with its neutralizing force against the void, it can have a strong inhibitory effect when properly used, so the church has been restricting the flow of secret silver into other principalities, especially the hands of wizards."

"After the seventh generation, the Holy Cross Church controlled almost half of the secret silver of the Empire, and they also..."

"Are they still there?" Ayn looked at him, puzzled.

"No, nothing! I didn't say anything, you didn't hear anything!" the alchemist's face was full of cold sweat, his smile became more and more stiff, and stared at the little wizard: "did you hear... No, no, no, you didn't hear anything. We just... Just discussed some... Academic issues!"

"Are you all right?" Ai Yin, who got up, looked at the cold sweat dripping from his forehead and wanted to come forward with worry, but he was dodged by the alchemist and couldn't help himself:

"I'm fine, I'm very good!"

"But you do look sick. Maybe... It's because the laboratory is not very ventilated?"

"Yes, you're right! I have to rest for a while. I can't always stay up late, hahaha..." the alchemist smiled awkwardly. The alchemist with trembling eyes picked up the secret silver in the box and stuffed it directly into AI Yin's arms: "this, this is my collection; I'll give it to you. How about it as a souvenir for you to the furnace college?"

"No, it's too expensive!" the little wizard looked at him in surprise and shook his head. "Three pounds of secret silver? I may not be able to afford such a heavy piece in my life!"

"You really underestimate your talent, Lord Ayn Rand!" the alchemist thrust it into her hand: "otherwise, you will be regarded as a witness of our friendship. How about a precious gift? Just accept it for me."

"All right, Lord ain Rand? Just... For me, please!"

………………………………

"Knight's sword mixed with secret silver? It is worthy of the Holy Cross Church. Does every church knight who makes an oath have a handle?"

While joking, the black haired wizard kept retreating, calculating the distance between the two people, and the first drop of cold sweat of the battle had fallen on his forehead.

Loren, who should have expected for a long time, realized later that he had never found the difference of the other party's weapons. It was his own negligence, which made the battle extremely difficult.

The bright silver sword can only last for ten seconds at most, and then it will cool down once - in this short moment, you will lose all means of counterattack, and you can only dodge as much as possible in addition to keeping a distance.

As for the high-level magic spell... The other party will not give itself this opportunity; The "caster" who can only cast spells with his left hand, but as long as he shows his left hand unprepared, the guard Knight's sword can turn it into bloody rotten meat!

The guard Knight seemed to be aware of something and rushed at the black haired wizard more recklessly.

damn!

The gray blue light of the sword bloomed again. At the moment of raising the sword, the spark burst in front of him; The black haired wizard with big eyes suddenly swung away the long sword of the guard knight, squatted down and swept!

Bright silver brushed past. The guard Knight didn't seem to adapt to fighting without armor. The dodging moment was obviously slow. The swept sword awn tore the cloak to pieces, and plasma gushed out.

Good chance!

At this moment, Loren directly gave up his life and rushed up, which is a momentum of no return!

The instant flaw also surprised the calm and calm guard knight for a moment, but the instant distraction has made Loren deceive within three steps. With his left arm injured, he can only raise his sword with one hand to meet the enemy.

"Dang --!"

The long sword full of collapse stood the bright silver puff. The guard knight was too late to breathe a sigh of relief before the fire splashed.

Loren's right hand is the one who holds the sword!

"I'm sorry, sir." Lauren, who rushed up like a fierce beast, grinned, suddenly opened his left hand and slapped on the guard Knight's face:

"Force impact!"

"Bang --!!"

The whole guard Knight flew out like a shell and crashed four shelves one after another; The roar and smoke dispersed, the rag like figure collapsed in a pile of containers and collapsed shelves, and there was a large amount of blood on the ground.

Loren didn't catch up directly. His first goal was not to kill the guard knight, but to find out who the man with him was, what their purpose was, why he appeared in melting pot town, and why he knew niederhogg

In a word, even if it is just to end the killing of eboden's 100 players, plus some worrying possibility, he must know the truth.

What's more, he can't get up just because of the amount of bleeding. At least half of his ribs are broken, and his spine and other bones won't be intact.

Instead of Lauren himself, it would be too easy to break a few ribs with his face, not half dead or disabled.

Cough, cough

The guard knight who fell in the pool of blood coughed up blood repeatedly and struggled to hold the knight's long sword in his hand. Even if he was bumped from his place, he couldn't let go a little.

Did I lose?

Yes, my negligence made my heart pity and made my sword dull - not that it was not sharp enough, but that my sword wielding hand was slow.

And now I'm just surviving because of the other party's pity.

Why

Why, as a church knight who made an oath of "sword of oath", would he lose to a faithless and blasphemous wizard?!

The time of this moment seemed to be infinitely extended. The black haired wizard came to him step by step. The bright silver in his hand was still playing with sword flowers. There was no pleasure of victory in the dark pupil, as if he had just done a very ordinary thing.

So... Was his self righteous raid just in his expectation? Loren Turin, I can finally understand why Lord Francis values you so much that he even regards you as his enemy.

Because you are so dangerous!

You are not an ordinary wizard. You are a real blasphemer and the most terrible enemy of the Holy Cross!

"This... This guy?!"

Loren stopped at the same place, his expression seemed stunned, staring at the figure who stood up hard from the pool of blood.

How strong is his physique?!

The serious looking guard Knight half knelt on the ground, holding his sword in both hands and praying in a low voice:

"Holy Cross

My sword is your Scripture, and my blood is your praise;

Please listen to my prayer,

To blasphemers who do not believe in God

Lower punishment -!!! "
