Chapter 144 Sky Serpent Knife
Although the Heavenly Snake Sword is far from being regarded as the "Jade Seal of the Desert" and is not something designated by the throne of the Desert, it was once the sword of the first Desert King, and it always has symbolic meaning.
Moreover, this was originally a Divine Armament full of spirituality.
It's just broken.
It was broken many years ago.
The whole world knows it.
At the end of the great war in which half of the desert tribes were wiped out, when the first king of the desert, who had not yet established a kingdom and became king, parried the simple sword of the Duke of Dayan Town, the Heavenly Snake Sword was overwhelmed and broke into two pieces.
But even after it is broken, it has been kept in the royal family of the desert and is unlikely to fall into the hands of outsiders.
Aleph was noncommittal and said with a smile: "Great Master Chu, it doesn't matter who I am. The important thing is that I took the head of Heavenly Devil Cult Protector Huo Zheng for you."
Chu Huijie just said similar words to Aleph, but now Aleph returned it to Chu Xiong.
Chu Xiong didn't say anything, just stared at this well-connected desert man.
There was a fire in his eyes, burning blazingly.
It's very irritating.
Aleph vaguely seemed to hear the sound of a hammer hitting red-hot iron in his ears, and gradually he seemed to become a red-hot iron under the hammer.
Withstand the beating and feel the pressure.
In this silent confrontation.
Aleph was the first to break the silence. He smiled: "Although there was a barrier between Da Yan and Da Mo in the past, they have been doing business for so many years. There shouldn't be any taboos for Great Master Chu to repair this damaged weapon, right?" ?”
He paused and then said: "Besides, I have already come to Yujing City from the desert, so it should be no problem."
In order for Chu Xiong to know what Aleph meant, Aleph did not quietly touch the door, but swaggered to the blacksmith shop holding the head of Heavenly Devil Cult Protector Huo Zheng.
Acting is not only not low-key, but also a little perverse.
Is it possible that the Dayan court was kept in the dark about what was happening right under the emperor's nose?
Most likely already known.
He knew it, but did not stop him, allowing Aleph to come to Chu's blacksmith shop unimpeded. No matter what the Dayan court planned, or whether it had secretly reached a deal with Damo, this laissez-faire attitude was already a tacit consent. .
Chu Xiongwei said: "The blade of the Heavenly Snake Sword is made of eternal gold quicksand, and it is also needed to recast the blade, but this is a specialty of your desert, and I don't have it here."
Eternal Gold Quicksand is said to be sand contaminated with a trace of the divine power of the Immortal Heaven. It originates from the desert temple priest’s loyal belief in the Immortal Heaven and Hundred Years of daily prayers.
Whether the legend is true or not is hard to say.
But this Eternal Gold Quicksand is indeed an excellent casting material, and it is extremely rare. And because it is related to the Immortal Sky in legends, it has become a belief. It is not a commodity that can be freely traded after mutual market exchanges.
The destination of every grain of Eternal Gold Quicksand is under the control of the Desert Temple. Even the Desert Royal Family cannot take as much as they want.
"Isn't this a coincidence? I have Eternal Gold Quicksand."
Aleph took out another tightly tied small cloth bag, which contained grains of sand with flowing golden light.
Probably one or two weights.
Eternal gold quicksand occasionally appears on the black market, but it is always cheaper than gold.
Not equal weight of gold.
It's a grain of constant gold quicksand, worth a tael of gold.
One tael of gold quicksand can be as large as several hundred grains at least. This is hundreds of taels of gold.
Aleph is not only generous, but also very generous in his actions: "Except for the cost of repairs, the remaining eternal gold quicksand will belong to Great Master Chu. Is this sincerity enough to dispel Great Master Chu's concerns?"
Chu Xiong pondered for a moment and said: "I can repair the blade of the Sky Serpent Sword, but the spirituality in it has been lost after the blade is broken. This cannot be restored by repairing the blade."
Aleph smiled and nodded: "I understand, the Serpentis Sword has lost its spirituality. If you want to return to the Divine Armament, you have to raise your spirit again. This is my own business, so I don't have to worry about it, Great Master."
"Now that you've figured it out, come with me."
Chu Xiongwei took Aleph to the small blacksmith shop next door.
In front of the dilapidated stove, Chu Huijie was chatting with Chu Tiangong about household matters. Xu Nian was studying the re-refined demon-seeking mirror next to him, feeling that the complete version refined by Chu Tiangong was fighting with the Mo brothers. What's the difference between the incomplete version that Nishi Minato came out with.
"Dad, use your stove."
"What to do?"
"Smelting the quicksand of eternal gold."
"Use it."
Chu Tiangong waved his hand indifferently, without even looking at the desert man who was following Chu Xiongwei, and continued to hold his granddaughter's hand and chat about home affairs.
Aleph saw Xu Nian playing with a small silver mirror, he snorted as he walked past him, and gave him a sideways look with a contemptuous expression.
Inexplicable desert people.
Xu Nian raised his eyes to glance at him and continued to study the demon-seeking mirror.
The biggest use of the defective demon-hunting mirror put together by the Mo brothers is to track the location of Demonic Beasts. For example, the Mo brothers were able to catch Susu because of the demon-hunting mirror.
But now this complete version of the Demon-Seeking Mirror can be said to be a comprehensive upgrade.
The effect is no longer just tracking, and although it is still used to suppress Demonic Beasts, it is not only useful when facing Demonic Beasts.
"boom--"
The small stove, which looked dilapidated on the outside, lit up the fire again, and the overflowing heat wave was still burning.
First there is Eternal Gold Quicksand.
After slowly melting in the fire, Chu Xiongwei threw out several other materials.
Finally, there is the Sky Serpent Sword broken into two pieces.
The blazing fire melted everything in the furnace, but in this burning fire, a new outline of the scimitar was slowly taking shape.
Finally, the flames in the furnace burned to the extreme, and the collision between iron and fire exploded into molten iron like sparks, splashing out of the furnace.
However, when Chu Xiong reached out and grabbed it, the molten iron splashed out of the iron furnace cooled down, solidified, and was all absorbed together, forming an increasingly larger ball.
Molten iron is nothing but slag produced during the smelting process.
The Sky Snake Sword is nothing more than scraps, but collecting the scraps to recast a Divine Armament and mixing it into ordinary weapons can improve the quality a lot.
Real gold is refined from this iron flower.
At the last moment when the outline of the scimitar was completely formed, Chu Xiongwei put his hand into the fire and pulled it out.
He pulled out a snake-shaped scimitar that was as thin as a cicada's wings.
The blade was red and had not yet cooled down.
Chu Xiongwei tapped the blade with his finger, and the blade suddenly vibrated and screamed, shaking down a rain of fire.
The Sky Snake Sword has been recast.
"Papa papa!"
Aleph clapped his hands and said in amazement: "This is the fire-refining technique that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Chu family and has been used to refine dozens of Divine Armaments? It's amazing. It's really amazing and amazing. I've learned a lot today!"
He changed the subject, as if striking while the iron is hot, and said: "However, wouldn't it be a pity that such a miraculous skill is buried under the prosperity of Jade City?"
