Main Text Volume Chapter 174 Single Butterfly

"That's right, it's enchanted with a frost effect, which can freeze unsuspecting enemies when it causes damage." Angel said.

"Have you really become an alchemist apprentice?!" Nausicaa looked at Angel with a look of shock on her face: "Do you know how much this kind of mortal weapon sells for in the market?"

"I don't know, how many magic crystals can I sell for?" Angel estimated.

Nausicaa shook her head with complicated eyes: "The last time I went to the underground market, I saw a machete that also had a frost effect. He asked for a full 130 magic crystals, and he sold it almost as soon as it was put on the shelves."

"This one of yours... the shape is almost up to the level of a famous artist. Coupled with the frost special effects, I estimate it must be at least 15o magic crystal!"

Angel was also stunned.

15o magic crystal? ! The materials he used to refine this weapon were less than 1 magic crystal.

No wonder people with special skills are extremely rich. This is simply huge profits!

Seeing Angel's stunned look, Nausicaa shook her head: "I really envy you. It seems that you won't have to worry about contribution soon..."

Angel scratched his head and didn't know what to say.

Nausicaa looked at Angel's childish behavior, and the jealousy in her heart gradually calmed down. He deceived himself and thought: "Maybe, alchemy is really simple. Maybe Angel's talent is suitable for alchemy. Maybe,..."

"This is too precious, are you sure you want to give it to me?"

"certainly."

"That would be disrespectful." Nausicaa also loved this short-hand weapon very much. Whether it was its appearance or its power, she was fascinated by it. After playing with it for a while, Nausicaa asked again: "By the way, you haven't said the name of this weapon yet?"

"This is the bear claw knife." Angel took advantage of the situation and explained the parameters of this weapon, and also briefly explained its usage: "You can choose the specific name yourself, this is for you. By the way, you Look inside the finger hole.”

Nausicaa looked at the largest of the three finger holes. Her name was engraved on the inner wall in regular universal characters.

"My name is all engraved on it. It seems I can't accept it anymore." Nausicaa paused: "Let's call this weapon Shan Die."

Nausicaa's name simply ignored the flower and chose only a butterfly, which seemed to have some meaning.

Nausicaa held the single butterfly knife and rotated it in her hand, like a fan, drawing a blurry circular shadow.

Then, Nausicaa directly threw the high-rotating single butterfly knife into the air, then stretched out her hand and placed it in the path of the single butterfly knife.

"Nausicaa, you..." Angel didn't understand what Nausicaa was doing? With the sharpness of the single butterfly knife, if it was spinning and falling, wouldn't it cut the arm in two if the blade was facing the hand?

Nausicaa did not answer, but followed Shan Die Dao with solemn eyes.

The single butterfly knife was thrown very high, and then slowly fell... When the single butterfly knife was about to cut Nausicaa's hand, Angel frowned.

Chiliu——

The single butterfly knife swiped across Nausicaa's hand, continued to fall without stopping, and inserted into the table with a clang.

Angel quickly looked at Nausicaa's hand, and now there was a faint blood stain on her wrist.

Angel's pupils shrank suddenly. Is it scratched?

But she saw Nausicaa retract her hand, wipe the blood on her wrist with the pad of her index finger, then put it to her lips and licked it: "I didn't input magic power to Shan Die, and it also brought up frost marks. It seems that I underestimated it." With it, this weapon must be worth at least 200 magic crystals."

"Nausicaa, are you okay?" Angel felt a little relieved when he saw that Nausicaa could move her wrist freely.

"It's okay, it's just a bloody mark scratched by the frosty air."

"Why are you doing this?" Angel didn't understand what she was doing.

Nausicaa smiled brightly at Angel, and then picked up the single butterfly knife on the table. The thumb, index finger, and middle finger were inserted into the three finger holes respectively. For some reason, Angel always felt that there seemed to be some faint connection between Nausicaa and the Shandie Knife at this time. It's like everyone and every object has a magnetic field. After getting along for a long time, the magnetic fields between people and objects will gradually become similar. However, Nausicaa and Shan Butterfly Knife's magnetic fields seemed to be separate from each other before, but now they seem to have merged. One body.

It was as if Shan Die Dao had been by Nausicaa's side for decades.

"A ritual." Nausicaa smiled: "This is the ritual when a swordsman chooses a weapon. If your hand is cut off, it means that the weapon does not recognize you; on the contrary, it means that the weapon recognizes you and chooses you as your weapon. A lifelong comrade."

"It seems that this ceremony was very successful." Angel originally wanted to continue asking the questions of 'why' and 'is it worth it', but after thinking about it, he finally did not ask. Values ​​are different from personal pursuits, and there is no need to impose them on others.

"Yes, very successful." Nausicaa inserted Shandie into her waist casually: "Shandie suits me very well, thank you!"

Angel smiled and shook his head: "If Shan Die is damaged in the future, you can come to me. As a pioneer of alchemy masters, I will repair it for free."

"I will cherish it and try not to let it reunite with you so early." Nausicaa paused: "You can alchemy now, what are your thoughts?"

Angel shook his head: "I don't have any ideas. Alchemy is not easy. It takes a long time and requires concentration. It consumes a lot of energy and energy."

Nausicaa understood: "Yes, when I was studying magic runes, a classmate said that many alchemists took more than ten years or even longer to produce a finished product. Of course, that refers to the entry-level alchemy works. As for the alchemy apprentices, it should also take a long time to produce a work, right? I heard that there is an intermediate alchemy apprentice in the underground market, named Pu something."

Angel: "Promi?"

Nausicaa nodded: "Yes, it's Master Promi. I heard that he only produces one work in half a year."

Angel was silent: "..." He just lamented that it was "time-consuming" because he really felt that it took a long time. It took more than a day to refine a work... But after hearing what Nausicaa said, he suddenly felt that it was a good thing that he didn't say how long it took to refine.

As far as alchemy is concerned, Angel can refine so quickly, mainly because his drawings are ready-made, and enchantment is also easy; other alchemists, just designing the map takes a long time, and memorizing the magic runes also takes time, and producing a work in half a year is already considered efficient.

…

That night, Angel stayed in the cave field for a dinner party and ate barbecue.

Sarum heard that Angel had achieved success in alchemy and asked about alchemy all night. Angel was patient and answered all the questions.

Amidst the laughter and chat, this warm dinner party ended with Salum snoring.

“It’s good to be young. You can sleep whenever you want.” Nausicaa smoked a cigarette, “I don’t remember when I last slept. I meditate instead of resting every day.”

Angel wanted to say “Why work so hard?”, but he didn’t say it in the end. It was still a question of values.

After sending Salum back, Angel was also ready to say goodbye to Nausicaa.

“I’ll take you back. It’s a good time to go out and get some fresh air.” Nausicaa said.

They were silent all the way. When Angel's house was in sight, Nausicaa suddenly said, "Hookdik was taken out by his mentor. You don't have to worry about his problems for the time being, but he has spread a lot of rumors about you recently."

"I know. Salum told me last time."

"Aren't you worried? He said in the rumors that you are incompetent, that you occupy resources, that you have no talent, and that you only know how to hide behind others."

"Did anyone believe it?" Angel said. Nausicaa raised her eyebrows: "As long as they know that Lord Sanders is behind you, almost no one will believe it. Of course, there are also some fools."

"That's it, rumors will always be blown away by reality." Angel suddenly remembered what Jon said: "Their suspicions and annotations about me are not enough to constitute one ten-thousandth of me, but they are all exposed."

"Indeed, the more rumors you spread, the more incompetent you appear, and it is them who are all exposed." Nausicaa smiled: "I didn't expect you to be a thinker."

"Since you can figure it out, I won't say much. I hope to see you reach the top soon, good night, young man."

...

After returning home, Angel calculated the time. According to what Butler Good said, the news of the opening of the Purification Garden should spread in one and a half months.

In order to avoid the powerful masters who heard the news, Angel must try his best to reach the top within one and a half months.

Time is running out.

Angel decided to make all his efforts to create the alchemical weapons he needed in the next half month. And skillfully apply the selected set of techniques.

Half a month passed in a flash.

When the first day of the spring festival month came, Angel put on a black bed sheet and walked out of the house.

Toby fluttered his wings and landed on Angel's shoulder, rubbing his head against Angel's face.

"I will start climbing the tower today. You don't need to go up for the time being. Get familiar with the environment of the arena first." Angel said to Toby. He also spent a lot of time in the past few days to communicate and cooperate with Toby. After Toby understood the gravity veins, his lethality increased sharply.

Angel originally thought that he would be able to easily crush Toby with his alchemical weapons. However, this was not the case. In a one-on-one battle, Toby's speed was far beyond his imagination. The weapon he refined was a long-range weapon. If he could not aim at Toby's figure, no matter how powerful it was, it would be useless.

However, in the battle with Toby, Angel also understood his shortcomings. It was indeed difficult for him to fight against speed-type players. With a shortcoming, Angel naturally had to find a solution. In the past few days, he has come up with several plans, which can effectively prevent speed-type players from approaching. Of course, the best way is for Toby to go on the field and fight head-on.

It can be said that Angel is determined to take the route of playing rogue.

All attacks rely on external forces, alchemical weapons and Toby.

The tricks he learned are all defense and control types, and he will drag the opponent to death!

When he came to the Sky Tower, the first floor was still very lively. Angel watched a few games casually and had a little grasp of the level of the contestants.

Although it still looks very watery, it is at least more intense than the "King of Beasts vs. Immortal Ice Emperor" that day. The contestants came and went, and the mortals cheered.

When it was almost time, Angel came to the registration office of the Sky Tower.
