The Hidden Knight of Mystra Chapter 007: Red Moon, Green Fly, and Purple Ying
The weapons specially used by Xiayin all belong to the category of "strange weapons".
In other words, people who do not have expertise in the corresponding weapon cannot use it. If they force themselves to use it, the effect will be very poor and they may even hurt themselves accidentally.
So Miller was a little nervous.
He didn't know whether the weapon he made would be approved by Roger.
…
“Nice knife.”
Roger held the Red Moon Sword in his palm, felt its weight, and gently stroked the thin blade with his left index and middle fingers, and then exclaimed in admiration from the bottom of his heart.
The Red Moon Sword is a ring-handled sword with a ring-shaped handle on the handle.
Compared with the Japanese samurai sword, its blade is narrower and longer, and the blade is sharper.
This is a powerful weapon that is very suitable for "slashing".
The only drawback is its service life.
According to Miller, this design means that every chopped move will cause great damage to the blade.
Although he took , he could not change the fact that the Red Moon Sword was not a durable weapon.
The Qi-gazing technique shows that its durability is only 6.
This means that it must be extremely well cared for after every battle, otherwise flaws will soon appear.
Fortunately, Roger has been dealing with Miller for so long that he still knows some weapon maintenance skills.
"It's not a big problem." He thought to himself:
"I have never fought with anyone, and I never draw my sword easily."
"When the time comes to draw the sword, I won't care about so much."
Overall, he was very satisfied with the Red Moon Sword.
Especially the included "Cutting Eyes" special skill, which can perfectly enhance the killing ability of the Red Moon Sword.
He could already foresee the scene when the Red Moon Sword would become a deadly weapon capable of beheading the enemies.
With this in mind, he sheathed the knife and carefully placed it in the narrow box .
Finally, he strapped the wooden box to his back.
The half-elf blacksmith breathed a sigh of relief.
…
The second weapon is the "Green Fly (Sword)".
…
"Green Fly (Sword)"
「Rating: S」
「Piercing 8 Strong 7 Weight 4 Balance 9」
"Stunt: Hell"
[Hell (Passive): The wounds caused by the piercing of the green fly will cause double pain, with a small chance of burning.]
"Restrictions: None"
…
The sword is a rapier. Compared with the sharp Red Moon Sword, the Green Fly Sword appears much more low-key and exquisite.
Unlike a two-handed broadsword that wins by swinging, the Green Fly Sword is a typical one-handed sword with a blade on the side, but this is not a real killing move.
The sword's strongest point is its piercing ability.
Of all the weapons, Miller's favorite is actually the Green Fly Sword.
After all, he is a half-elf and is quite good with a sword.
“The only downside is that it’s too short.”
Here’s what Miller had to say about it.
Roger disagrees.
The green fly is a little short, but this is not its disadvantage.
This thing is not meant to be used in direct confrontation with humans.
Xiayin is half assassin.
In the assassination operation, the Qingxie Sword will definitely have the opportunity to shine.
Compared with a dagger or scimitar, its destructive power is much stronger.
And combined with the swordsman's secret skill "Hidden Sword", the Green Fly Sword can definitely help Roger complete some actions that ordinary weapons cannot accomplish.
“It’s perfect.”
Roger still gave his praise.
Miller smiled proudly, and without taking credit for it, he and Roger came to the last weapon.
…
"Purple Ying (bow)"
「Rating: S」
「Tension 6 Elasticity 8 Toughness 9 Balance 7」
"Special Skill: Whisper of the Trade Winds"
"Trade Winds' Voice (Passive): Arrow's stability +3"
"Restrictions: None"
…
Ziying is a very typical ranger shortbow.
Its range is not particularly far, but it has very high stability in medium-range sniping.
This can make up for Roger's poor shooting skills to a certain extent.
He didn't have very high requirements for this bow:
As long as it works, it's fine.
After all, he was just a half-baked archer and had no right to demand that Ziying’s bow be a divine one.
Due to material limitations, Miller equipped Ziying with the most common white feather arrows.
This type of arrow is very common in human armies.
The advantage is that it is cheap.
“Excellent.”
Although he had no expectations, Roger paid the compliment anyway.
Miller's eyes narrowed into a line as he laughed.
"Wait for me for a moment."
He left Roger behind and went to search deep inside the warehouse alone for a while.
Finally, he came over with a weapon belt and a small box.
"Are you going to deal with the corpse demon?"
"This is a small token of my appreciation."
The half-elf blacksmith handed the two things to Roger:
"For you."
Roger didn't hesitate and took it.
This weapon belt was received by Miller from an elderly elven ranger.
After Miller's modification, Roger can perfectly carry three weapons on his body; in addition, there are three empty slots for daggers, potions, scrolls, bottles and the like.
But what was in the small box was beyond Roger's expectations.
…
"Little Finger (Slingshot)"
「Rating: A」
「Tension 4 Elasticity 9 Toughness 6 Balance 7」
"Loading: Just some marbles or stones or something."
…
"This is a slingshot that the fairies particularly like."
Miller said:
"I know you're better at this stuff."
This time, Roger smiled sincerely.
Compared to the Ziying Bow rated S, he does prefer the Little Finger.
The moment he got it, he fell in love with this small slingshot and began to think about what kind of throwing objects he should equip it with.
"It would be nice if I could add some elemental enchantment to stones or glass beads."
He thought so.
…
When he was leaving the blacksmith shop, Miller suddenly called him:
"Hey! Roger!"
"Um?"
“Don’t die.”
The half-elf blacksmith lit a roll of tobacco, and smoke rose up:
"We must avenge Kane!"
Roger patted his heavy weapon belt and nodded.
…
On the way back, even though he had chosen a secluded path, Roger still ran into many people who normally wouldn't say hello to him.
The residents of the town had heard about Roger's deeds of killing the Red Tide Corpse, and they all came to congratulate him.
Of course, they are more concerned about the matter of conquering the corpse demon.
Roger gently dismissed it by saying, "Dorothy is handling all these things, and I'm just her assistant."
He hurried to the grocery store, sold the spoils that the soldiers had brought over in the morning, and bought enough food for three days from the enthusiastic Aunt Amur. Then Roger headed home.
He couldn't wait to try out Xia Yin's "secret technique"!
Xiayin's secret skills can only be learned after obtaining a special weapon.
So before, he could only watch with envy.
"I don't know how much learning the secret technique will improve my strength..."
While thinking, Roger had already seen the two tung trees in front of his house.
There is a girl under the tree.
Looks like he's been waiting for a long time.
