Chapter 20
The matter is not over yet. The temperature of the furnace suddenly rises sharply. Some parts of the furnace wall have melted. The high temperature has distorted the surrounding air. This is completely different from the state I usually use. What's wrong? Isn't it a failure? Why doesn't the furnace stop?
We were all feeling puzzled when the hot furnace suddenly emitted a dazzling light. Then, accompanied by a loud "bang", the blacksmith's furnace exploded like a bomb!
It happened so fast that we were not prepared at all. I was closest to the stove and was thrown out by the strong shock wave. I hit the wall behind me hard. The huge force made me punch a big hole in the wall like a cannonball and fly directly into the flowerbed outside. My eyes went dark and a red system prompt appeared in the lower right corner.
"You died due to a smelting mutation accident. Your experience dropped by 2%, and your blacksmith level dropped by 10 levels."
Fresh! It was so damn fresh! I was actually killed by my own blacksmith furnace! The punishment for failed enhancement was so wicked that it was smoking. After resurrection, I stood at the resurrection point and couldn't help but make an international gesture to the void. I greeted the designers of "Magic Flag" fiercely.
I rushed all the way to the Lord's Mansion. I didn't see anyone else at the resurrection point just now, which means that I was the only one who died in this accident. I don't know what happened to my sister and the others. With such a violent explosion, they must have been injured. As for the situation of the conference room, it's a headache. I will never pay for the repairs this time. Hehe, I don't have money, but I have a life. Let my sister take care of it.
When they ran to the lord's mansion, there were already a lot of people gathered outside. The loud noise just now was probably heard clearly by the entire Rose Garden. Many members of the team were still rushing here fully armed. They thought someone was attacking the lord's mansion.
I squeezed through the crowd gathered in the square in front of the door and rushed into the meeting room. However, the scene I saw almost made me vomit three liters of blood.
Brother Yun and his wife and the princess were drinking tea and chatting leisurely at the table. The three of them were energetic and rosy-cheeked, looking like standard healthy babies. There was not even a speck of dust on the princess' beautiful gauze dress. The entire conference room, except for the "window" that I opened when performing the "flying man", was still so exquisite and elegant, without any damage. I didn't see my sister, but soon, her voice came from the large balcony on the second floor. That was the place where the lord issued announcements, which had the function of amplifying sound.
"Good evening, fellow members and friends of Rose Garden. The noise just now was caused by the weapons officer accidentally setting off a bomb. It was not an attack on Rose Garden. We are deeply sorry for causing you a false alarm. Now, the accident has been handled and you can continue your activities without worry. Thank you."
"It seems that everyone is in good shape. Am I the only one performing the aerial acrobatics?" I clasped my hands over my chest and leaned against the wall near the door.
"Yes, it's an obvious fact." The princess looked at me leisurely, her bright eyes full of smiles. The eldest brother and his wife also nodded with a smile, and eldest brother Yun also posed to show that he was in good health and his clothes were not even wrinkled.
"Yes, we were just startled by the noise, and then we saw you perform the 'wall-walking technique'. Seriously, is this a new skill for thieves?" The elder sister walked in from outside. The upturned corners of his mouth showed that the lord was in a good mood.
"Well, the technique is pretty good. Look, the hole over there has formed a human figure, which is quite funny." The princess pointed to the "ventilation hole" I left on the wall over there and couldn't help laughing. This girl, she doesn't feel bad at all when her top-grade knife is damaged. Does she really not care or is she just stupid?
"Oh? In that case, should I charge a viewing fee?" I walked to the table with a fake smile and sat down, throwing the necklace back to the princess. Then, I put my feet on the table, put the legs of the chair on the ground, and tilted my head back and forth. It seems that I will lose face tonight. A thief who was killed by a furnace, damn, can even make the headlines of the "Magic Flag" entertainment newspaper.
"Mr. Yanyan, does my conference room have a grudge against you? Last time, it was your pet that tore down an entire wall for me. This time it's even better, you do it yourself. Although this 'window' is very 'unique', shouldn't you ask for my opinion first? Also, do you want your feet anymore?" My sister sat down opposite me, staring at my feet on the table with a frown, took out Zixia and glanced at them, as if she was considering how to start.
"Let me make it clear first. You can't blame me this time. Who knew the penalty for failure would be so abnormal? Not only did I lose 2% of my experience, but my blacksmith level also dropped by ten levels." I quickly retracted my feet. The woman opposite me had a ruthless hand and she might really chop me off.
"A Zi, forget it. Everyone has suffered losses this time. After all, it's an experiment and there will always be accidents. This time, Yan Yan and the princess are the ones who suffer the most. Princess, do you have any spare weapons?" The eldest sister-in-law shook her head at her elder sister, and then asked the princess.
"The magic weapon is gone, but I still have the crusader sword and spear." The princess clapped her hands and answered straightforwardly.
"Among the weapons we collected this time, there is a Divine Steel Halberd. You can use it first. It's a pity that it has no attributes." After saying this, Brother Yun took out a halberd from his space belt and handed it to the princess.
"Forget it. I'm at a higher level, so I can make up for the difference in weapons. Let the Divine Power be used by those who need it more." The princess shook her head and pushed the halberd back.
"But..." Brother Yun wanted to say something else, but I waved my hand at him, signaling him to retract his divine power.
"Haha, I broke my wife's weapon, so of course I am responsible for finding it again. Brother Yun, you are just trying to save my face by doing that." I changed the subject in a joking tone. Others may not have noticed it at the time, but I unexpectedly saw that when the bloody song disappeared, the princess looked relieved. I didn't think about it at the time, but I realized just now that there might be a story behind that knife.
"Yes, it's because your level is too poor, so you should pay compensation." My sister-in-law was careful and noticed something, so she continued what I said.
"Okay, okay, this matter is over. Seriously, since the stone dropped by the Sword Demon is meteorite iron, the ring is unlikely to be garbage. Let me see it." My sister didn't know what I was playing at, but since she didn't want to talk about it, let's change the subject.
"This ring is just very beautiful, but I really can't see what use it has." The princess took off the "super white" ring from her hand and handed it to her curious sister .
My sister took it and looked at the appearance carefully, then tried it on her finger. She didn't find anything special except that it didn't have basic properties. Brother Yun and sister-in-law came over to study it again, but still got no results. In the end, they could only agree with my "hypothesis" that it was a very beautiful piece of garbage.
"It's quite late. If you don't have anything to do, please log off. I have to go to work tomorrow." It's getting late. I yawned and stretched my back. Huh? My head suddenly stopped tilting up. I squinted and stared at the chandelier on the ceiling. What was that?
"Let's go? What's wrong with you? Seriously, I know my chandelier is beautiful, but you don't have to look at it like that?" Everyone packed up their things and stood up to leave. My sister, who was sitting opposite me, noticed my strange look first.
"Is that the switch for your chandelier? Isn't the location a little funny?" I pointed at a device on the ceiling next to the chandelier. It looked like a handle, embedded there out of place. The chandelier on the side was very dazzling, and I couldn't really notice it unless I looked closely.
"What? Have you seen the manually-activated lights in "The Magic Flag"? You little idiot, even if there are, they can't be installed on the ceiling." My sister looked in the direction of my finger in confusion: "Huh? What is that? I've never seen it before?"
Brother Yun and the others also stopped and looked for a while, but they couldn't figure out what was going on. Sister even jumped onto the table, trying to reach the "handle", but her arm was still some distance from the ceiling, and the Taoist didn't have the skill of "lengthening arms", which made her jump in anger.
"Get out of the way, let me do it." I pulled down my sister who was performing "table dance" vigorously, and Brother Yun and I pushed the big conference table open. Under the chandelier, we summoned the mammoth , whose long nose just played the role of "automatic lift". So, the unscrupulous owner stepped on the poor pet's soft big nose and successfully achieved his goal.
When I got closer, I realized that it was a sword handle. The blade and part of the hilt were embedded in the ceiling. The exposed handle was like a green vine, emitting a green light. Two finely carved winged fairies formed a guard extending to the blade. Just looking at the hilt, I could feel the power of this sword. Wow, it's a good thing.
As soon as I grasped the hilt of the sword, a few words flashed in my vision: Ownership has not changed, the item is not yours. Hey! How come this sword still has an owner? When did it get stuck here? Although I had doubts in my mind, I was ready to draw the sword. I put one hand against the ceiling and the other hand on the hilt, and pulled hard. Clang! Damn! I didn't notice that this sword had a scabbard! The scabbard was mainly embedded in the ceiling. In fact, the sword body would come out as soon as it was pulled. I used too much force, and the long sword was thrown out of my hand.
Snap! With a flash of green light, the "flying sword" was nailed to my sister's feet, right next to her nose. For a moment, the room was completely silent. A few strands of black hair slowly fluttered in the air. So accurate? Everyone was stunned.
I was still holding the sword when a powerful air mass hit me. Fortunately, I dodged it, but a purple sword light soon appeared in front of me. Retribution came so quickly.
"Sister Zi! Listen to me! I didn't mean it just now." I ducked my head to dodge the flying Zixia sword, then turned around and jumped onto the back of the mammoth. Anyone who doesn't run now is a fool.
"That's right! You didn't mean it, you did it on purpose! You damn kid! Don't run!" The furious sister jumped up on the mammoth's fangs and chased me with two flying kicks. Her hands were not idle either. She used acupressure techniques and released her spiritual energy continuously, hitting me one after another.
I didn't dare to fight back, so I could only jump off the mammoth and start circling around it, with my sister chasing after me with gnashing teeth. Brother Yun and his wife and the princess quietly stood by the wall. Anyway, I couldn't get hurt, and they were happy to watch this "sister-brother killing each other" "domestic violence" incident.
I couldn't fight or run away, and I was finally frozen by an acupressure technique, and became a human sandbag with a nice feel. My sister caught up with me and beat me up, and I was "shining with golden light and auspicious aura". Except for not dying, I basically met the conditions for changing my job to a panda. After such a period of jumping up and down "fitness exercise", my sister's anger was almost gone.
"Finished? Haha, come, come, take a look at this sword, it's a good thing." Brother Yun saw us finish our "performance" and put the sword on the table with a smile. He just took off the scabbard through his "nose". Now it is in the hands of my sister-in-law.
"Yes, seriously, come and check it out. When did the conference room have a sword? It's beautiful." The sister-in-law stroked the beautifully carved scabbard, with admiration flowing in her eyes. The sword was green and shiny, with vines and unknown animals carved on both sides of the scabbard. The middle of the bright sword body was also cast with magic symbols in dense silver. Not only was it beautiful, but the cold light of the blade also told us its powerful lethality.
"Damn that broken sword. That idiot embedded it into the roof, and I got a beating for it." I rubbed my aching limbs, muttering to myself as I sent an identification spell to the sword on the table.
Item name: Elf War Song. Type: Alienated Magical Weapon, Long Sword. Level 4 Enhancement, Basic Attributes Increased by 40%. Additional Attributes: Physical Attack +2, Strength +3. Usage Level: 48. Applicable Occupations: Knight, Warrior. Item Owner: Princess.
After reading out the information of this sword, the five of us looked at each other and were basically certain that this was the missing Hot-Blooded Song. What was strange about this sword was alienation? A manifestation of neither success nor failure? Also, how could it be stuck on the ceiling? What a weird way it appeared.
"I have authorized the smelting of the items, and the materials are correct. It should be either a success or a failure. How could it be distorted? Is it related to those two points of borrowed luck?" I looked at the princess, but I really couldn't figure out what the problem was.
"Not necessarily. God knows what this enhancement plan is. But how did it get to the ceiling?" My sister still remembers the big "hairpin" that almost "blow her head off". After saying this, she glared at me hatefully.
"Haha, I think I know why the sword is on the ceiling." The princess chuckled and came to the bottom of the chandelier with the sword in her hand. She pointed upwards. The sword was inserted there just now. Then, the princess simulated an explosion sound with her mouth and retreated with her back to the wall. Looking in the direction she moved, there was a human-shaped "window" on the upper part of the wall behind her, and the night breeze was slowly blowing in.
So that's it! The four of us looked like we had suddenly realized something. My sister and Brother Yun and his wife laughed out loud. The explosion not only allowed me to perform the wall-walking trick, but also blew the sword into the ceiling. It was so sudden that no one noticed. Oh my god, I was just scolding someone for sticking a sword in the ceiling, and after all this time, I slapped myself in the face. I was so depressed!
"Hahaha, so that's how it is. Princess, why don't you try one of your skills and see how this sword works?" Brother Yun smiled and waved to the princess.
The smiling princess was suddenly stunned, thought for a while, and used a skill that almost made us faint.
