Chapter 302: Cane Sword

I don’t know how long it took.

Jilan sailed a long distance on the dark sea of ​​dreams, but he couldn’t accurately judge the specific time.

Fortunately, the light of the spiritual boat was only slightly dimmed, and it was not affected.

This made Jilan more confident.

He knew that his current spiritual strength was much stronger than that of an ordinary 3rd-level mystic.

Jilan crouched on the side of the boat, stretched out his hand again, let his fingers touch the sea water lightly, and retracted it as soon as he touched it.

Wow.

The negative emotions transmitted through the sea water this time were particularly strong.

It even made him feel depressed.

But this is also a good signal.

Because it means that the distance to the hometown of God is closer...

Suddenly.

Jilan raised his eyes and looked forward, his eyes couldn’t help but be stern.

I saw that on the originally calm dark sea surface, high waves were surging!

He quickly stopped the boat.

Wow! !

But the surging waves came quickly, enveloping the boat and lifting it into the air. Jilan quickly stabilized his balance and looked up.

A huge figure, darker than the sea water, slowly emerged from the sea. It was estimated to be more than ten meters long and six or seven meters wide.

It was an irregular and huge spherical object with dozens or hundreds of slender tentacles with teeth on its tail. After they emerged from the sea, they kept dancing.

It was like an octopus monster magnified countless times!

The sea water was surging and splashing.

The hundreds of dark round eyes on the face of the sea monster stared at Jilan in unison, revealing a human-like malice, greed and hunger.

‘How could there be such a monster in the Dream Sea? ! ’

Jilan frowned.

Huh! !

A waist-thick tentacle like a pillar whipped Jilan in the air.

Helplessly, he had to control his consciousness to fly up and gave up the spiritual boat.

With a hum, the boat nimbly dodged the whipping of the tentacles, but fell heavily on the sea.

Whoosh!

Another seven or eight tentacles whipped towards Jilan, with a terrifying momentum.

With a cold face, he dodged left and right in the air, and then flew higher, trying to distance himself from the sea monster.

But when Jilan just got rid of the entanglement of the sea monster and flew high in the sky, the uneasiness in his heart did not disappear, but became stronger.

"Huh?"

Jilan suddenly noticed something and turned his head to look behind.

I saw a black shadow that was even bigger than the sea monster, which spread its wings, whistled through the air, and flew straight towards me!

It was a monster with a pair of huge bird wings.

It had no head, and thick flesh whiskers grew on its neck, blooming like stamens. The feathers on its body were full of painful human faces, and they were constantly changing their expressions, squirming, and ferocious.

Jilan's heart skipped a beat.

His face changed slightly, and he quickly controlled his body to fall.

Boom! !

The bird-winged monster crossed paths with Jilan.

Jilan only felt that it was a large plane flying past his scalp, and the terrifying strong wind directly blew it upside down in mid-air.

‘There are more terrifying creatures above the Dream Sea...’

Such a thought popped up in Jilan's mind.

He quickly dived down and found his spiritual boat.

But the surroundings were still turbulent.

In such a short time, several octopus monsters appeared again and surrounded Jilan.

‘Damn...’

Jilan cursed inwardly.

Whoosh whoosh! !

Countless huge tentacles fell on him.

There was no place to escape!

Seeing this, Jilan made a quick decision and opened his eyes suddenly-

Swish!

The ceiling at midnight came into view.

It was dim all around.

The curtains were blown by the breeze, and the bright moonlight shone into the room.

It was quiet all around, with only sporadic barking and meowing coming from afar.

"Hush..."

Gilan let out a long breath and slowly sat up.

He turned his head and looked at the clock on the wall. It was already four o'clock in the morning.

The voyage tonight was originally smooth. He even had a hunch that he was very close to the God's Homeland. Perhaps he could successfully reach it after sailing for a while.

But the sea monster that suddenly appeared in the second half and the headless giant bird in the sky forcibly blocked the journey.

'Let's try again next time...'

Gilan sighed.

Finding the God's Homeland is not a one-time thing. I don't know how many level 3 mystics are stuck at this step. Fortunately, he received guidance from Miss Peyton and mastered the "emotional anchor method". He should be able to find the God's Homeland successfully after a few more attempts.

…

…

In the following week.

Gilan returned to a peaceful life. In addition to eating, sleeping and practicing, he occasionally went to the dream gathering to exchange information with the members of the "Hand of Dawn".

During this period, he sailed out to the Dream Sea almost every night.

But what puzzled him was that he would encounter a sea monster at the last moment every time...

In addition to the octopus sea monster, Jilan also encountered a larger monster that looked like a manta ray. Its body was at least more than 20 meters long, more than 30 meters wide, and its tail was as thin as a whip, nearly 100 meters long.

This sea monster would quietly lurk under Jilan's spiritual boat and then suddenly attack. Either open the huge mouth on its back, or spray out poisonous mist, or grab with its long tail...

In short, it is much more difficult to deal with than the octopus sea monster.

Whenever he encountered it, Jilan had almost no way to deal with it, so he could only curse secretly and force himself to wake up.

It always feels like we are getting closer and closer to the land of God, but we are always stuck at the last step.

In 1926, on the morning of November 24th.

Gillan received a call from the "Alchemy Hotline".

It was the old man who made the staff.

"Hey, Blood Owl, I've already prepared the new weapon you commissioned."

The old gentleman's voice was strong and powerful, and his tone was smiling.

He seemed quite satisfied with the new masterpiece at hand.

"So fast?" Ji Lan was startled, then smiled happily. "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Stick Maker."

"You're welcome, it's just an equal exchange. What's more, I'm very optimistic about you, young man... I hope you can become one of us soon, hahaha."

There was laughter on the other end of the phone.

Immediately afterwards, the old man who made the staff introduced Jilan:

"This cane is much heavier than the staff of justice, a full 50 pounds. It is 1 meter long and can grow to 1.2 meters after deformation."

"I specially designed the handle for you in the shape of a drop of water, with twelve sides. Added tin sulfur, salt crystals and a trace amount of secret disc stone. It is nine times stronger than a steel ingot and can be used as a blunt instrument."

"The body of the staff is also made of metal, but because your materials are incomplete, I also purchased three additional mysterious mineral materials. The surface patterns are relatively simple, based only on roses, iris, and cornflowers... Of course, these patterns There are other uses, I’ll talk about it later.”

"After deformation, the cane will turn into a cross sword with a flower basket guard structure. The spine of the sword has a blood groove, the weak sword part is double-edged, and the strong sword part is unedged. It can be used for close-range chiseling, Actions like stabbing and hammering.”

The old man who made the stick paused for a moment, then laughed and said:

"In addition, like the Rod of Justice, it can be loaded with gunpowder, but it does not detonate, but ignites... Through the mechanism of the handle, you can open the magazine, load the gunpowder and ignite the sword core guide independently, and the high-temperature fireworks will Through patterns all over the sword.”

"Because of the 'Maoxi Old Seal', the flames will not be transmitted to the handle, and the fireworks can be effectively locked on the sword body... This weapon can be said to be one of the few in my life. masterpiece!"

Hearing this, Ji Lan's expectations became even stronger.

He held the "hot line" and said in a deep voice:

"Thank you very much, Mr. Stick Maker... Could you please tell me how much the material fee and commission fee are in total? I will pass it on to you now."

"Um……"

The old man who made the stick was very satisfied with Jilan's attitude.

He pondered for a moment and replied:

"The additional material fee is 970 Caesars, and the commission fee is 500 Caesars... However, there are still parts of the Secret Disc Stone that have not been used up. In addition, this weapon is also the first time for me to use the 'Maoxi Old Seal', which gives me a rare experience.”

"Since you are the No. 1 member of the Thorns, I will charge you 1,200 Caesars."

Ji Lan raised his eyebrows and said seriously: "Thank you."

He knew that there was no need for the old gentleman to deceive him about this kind of thing, so there was a lot of affection hidden in it.

"Call out the alchemy formation, and I'll pass the staff to you... By the way, give it a name after you receive it."

The old man's voice came from the other end of the hotline.

"good."

Gilan turned the microphone upside down, and immediately, a golden alchemy array appeared on the wooden floor.

He counted the 1,200 Caesar gold foil banknotes, sorted them into a pile, and placed them in the center of the array.

Whoosh!

The money disappeared instantly.

The next second, a simple cane that was all gray and black lay quietly on the ground.

Gillan took a deep breath and picked it up.

A cold, heavy and frosted texture comes from your hands. He lowered his head and looked at it. The cane was straight and engraved with fine patterns. It was restrained and mixed with a strong mysterious atmosphere.

Especially the twelve-sided drop tip on the handle, which is as shiny and smooth as pure silver. The section about 20 centimeters below the handle is shaped like a spiral pattern, but it is the intertwined roots of three kinds of flowers: roses, iris and cornflowers.

Click!

He pressed the round six-pointed star button hidden on the handle and heard a crisp sound. The cane decomposed itself into twelve parts, opened and closed again.

From the tip of the staff and the lower half, there were two clatters, and a sword blade and cross guard popped out respectively. Under the hand guard, like a flower bud blooming, a flower basket structure "grows" and fit perfectly into the cross guard.

The cane turned into a gray-black cross sword in the blink of an eye!

The whole body is extremely exquisite and murderous!

The more Gillan looked at it, the more he fell in love with it. He couldn't help but grab the staff sword and raised his hand to perform a round of "Gerald's Bloodletting Sword".

Whoosh! !

The twelve secret sword skills passed by in a few breaths, leaving a bright cold light in the air, forming a clear six-pointed star.

The sword wind swept around, making a harsh scream.

Ji Lan suddenly stopped and raised his staff and sword.

Buzz——

The tip of the sword vibrated at high frequency, emitting a strange rhythmic sound.

With a squeaking sound, a fine scratch appeared out of thin air on the wall two meters away in front...

Immediately.

呲呲呲——

There were more and more scratches, and finally a symbol of a perfect round six-pointed star was revealed!

"Okay, okay!" Jilan praised repeatedly.

Answering the call again, the old man who made the stick seemed to have heard his praise, and couldn't help but smile proudly:

"Are you satisfied?"

"Very satisfied!" Jilan agreed, feeling that the old man who made the staff was indeed a senior alchemist and craftsman.

This weapon really meets his inner needs and aesthetics.

The old gentleman then asked again:

"What do you plan to name it?"

"Name..."

Gilan lowered his eyes and looked at the cross sword.

He felt that it was very similar to himself. On the surface, it was just an ordinary cane, but once the mystery inside was unfolded, it would become an extremely terrifying weapon...

"Laughter."
