Chapter 548: The Emblem That Has Never Been Dust

Immediately afterwards, a burly figure dressed in a brocade robe flashed out from the entrance of the passage.

Then he knelt down in front of Lei Xiao and said, "My lord, my subordinates have lived up to your lord's expectations, and have successfully advanced to the level of a fourth-tier powerhouse!"

Needless to say, the person who came was Fang Hai who had just received the inheritance from his ancestors.

Gently put down the teacup in his hand, Lei Xiao looked over at the sound.

I saw Fang Hai at this time, not only in terms of momentum, it was much stronger than before, and he looked like a master and strong man, but also, his old face with gray temples was rosy, and even the wrinkles seemed to be reduced.

All in all, compared with not long ago, this old blacksmith under his command has undoubtedly undergone a qualitative change!

Nodding in satisfaction, Lei Xiao stood up from his seat, helped the other party up, and opened the other party's attribute bar at the same time.

【Name: Fang Hai】

【Occupation: Martial Saint】

[Class: Tier 4, 1 star]

【Loyalty: 100】

[Skill 1: Thunder God Fist changed to "Active" (Thunder attribute small-range physical group attack, additional paralysis effect)]

[Skill 2: Change Yan Kick to "Active" (powerful physical single-target attack, additional knockback effect)]

[Skill 3: Thousand Refinement Skill "Active" (Attack speed and dodge ability greatly increased)]

[Skill 4: Knuckles Mastery "Passive" (When using Knuckles, moderately increases damage)]

[Skill 5: Tier 4 Blacksmithing "Passive" (can forge metal weapons, armor and accessories)]

"Not bad, this way, I have not only added a Tier 4 powerhouse, but also a Tier 4 forging master with superb skills!"

Thinking of this, while closing the property bar, Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction.

At the same time, Lei Xiao also understood clearly.

Compared with Gail, who is also a martial artist by profession and directly uses his body as a weapon.

The methods and skills that Fang Hai has cultivated have different focuses, and he is more good at boxing attacks. Therefore, the weapon he is equipped with is the relatively rare knuckles.

"My lord, not only have my subordinates successfully advanced to the fourth-tier powerhouse, but also, after accepting the bloodline inheritance, both forging skills and the types of weapons and armor that can be forged have been greatly increased!"

I saw Fang Hai's old face was full of excitement, and he said, "I never thought that the blacksmith skills mastered by the ancestors of my subordinates would be so uncanny."

"Many exquisite forging techniques and energy injection methods are simply breathtaking, and it can be said that they have opened the door to a new world for the subordinates!"

After a pause, Fang Hai said excitedly again: "In short, the current forging efficiency and forging success rate of my subordinates have also been greatly improved!"

"Very good, it seems that our trip this time is really worthwhile."

Smiling and nodding, Lei Xiao first put all the surrounding sofas, coffee tables and other items into the space bracelet, and then said to Fang Hai: "Okay, let's go see your ancestors again."

In this way, all the way down the stairs at the entrance of the passage, it didn't take long before Lei Xiao and his party reappeared in front of Old Xiao Er.

"Your Excellency, thank you so much. If you hadn't brought the old man's grandson here, I'm afraid the old man wouldn't know how long he would have to sleep in this dark place."

Nodding to Lei Xiao, Old Xiao Er gently stroked his long beard and said, "And now, seeing that the Qianduan family has hope of revival again, this old man finally has not wasted the vicissitudes of the millennium. "

"Old Mr. Shaw, you are welcome. After thousands of years, the trajectory of life and the line of time should not have any intersection. It is a kind of wonderful fate that we can meet here."

Slightly nodding his head, Lei Xiao, who continued to maintain a faint smile, responded to the fifth-order powerhouse at the Zhenguo level in front of him: "Therefore, there is no need to say thanks between you and me. Maybe this is just a brand new beginning."

"A fresh start?"

Hearing this, the wrinkles on Old Xiaoer's face became deeper and deeper, and the old man lowered his eyes and said: "However, the king to whom this old man was loyal no longer exists, and the country that this old man guarded has been reduced to scorched earth. The family has also declined to the extreme..."

Sighing heavily, Old Xiaoer shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Thousands of years have already obliterated all traces of the old man's existence in this world, and the only thing left is this half-dead petrified body. With the current state of the old man, how can we talk about a new beginning?"

"Mr. Shaw's words are wrong."

On the other side, Lei Xiao looked serious, and said: "Although I don't have the ability to undo petrification, I believe that in the near future, I will be able to completely undo the heavy shackles that bind you. .”

Nodding solemnly, Lei Xiao continued: "Furthermore, even though everything you were familiar with before no longer exists, isn't there still traces of you in the current world?"

After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao pushed Fang Hai to the side, and said, "The most capable blacksmith under my command has the same blood as you, and follows the family motto you left behind. It is the best proof."

"My lord is right!"

Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Fang Hai immediately took a step forward, and said solemnly, "Lord Ancestor, although the Qianduan family has gone through thousands of years, the Qianduan family has lost its former glory, but the anvil crest of the Qianduan family, But it has never been dusted, and it still shines as brightly as when you were there!"

At this time, Fang Hai's old eyes were shining brightly, and he continued: "For thousands of years, you have passed down the adventure stories of the Qianduan family's development and growth, visiting various races, and painstakingly practicing forging skills in the family from generation to generation. Intermittently, accompanied by every teenager and girl of the Qianduan family to fall asleep."

"As for the descendants of the Qianduan family, the reason why they never compromised with fate and did not let the family coat of arms become dusty is because of your bravery and unyielding back then! Pass a powerful fifth-order powerhouse!"

Taking a deep breath, Fang Hai said again: "Thus, the traces of your existence have never been obliterated, but have grown up with the descendants of every Qianduan family, and are also the blacksmith of every Qianduan family. , the goal to work hard for!”

Hearing the sound, he was silent for a while, and then Old Xiaoer slowly said: "So that's the case..."

"That's right, if there were no stories and family mottos from the ancestors, as the support of faith, I am afraid that the current Qianduan family, like the Kingdom of Loren, would have disappeared in the torrent of history."

Fang Hai's old face was full of awe, and he nodded in agreement.

"Old Mr. Shaw, it seems that although the years can change the world, it has not obliterated your traces."

Looking at the burly old man with a dignified expression in front of him, Lei Xiao immediately said: "Since you were able to build the Qianduan family into a top-level family once, then you must be able to do it a second time, right? Isn't this exactly what you started from?" Does it make sense?"

"...Your Excellency, you are right. The old man seems to be interested in this world after a thousand years."

Taking a deep breath, Old Xiaoer said solemnly: "If Your Excellency can remove the petrification magic that is pressing on this old man, then this old man will definitely sacrifice his life to repay Your favor of rebuilding!"

After speaking, Old Xiao Er looked solemn, and then put his hand on his chest, and bowed deeply to Lei Xiao.

At this moment, Old Xiaoer understood clearly in his heart.

This young man is so young, and he has two fifth-tier powerhouses and more fourth-tier powerhouses loyal to him, which is obviously extraordinary.

It can be seen from this that his words may not be completely groundless.

"Old Mr. Shaw, you don't need to be too polite. I believe you will have a new life in a short time."

Nodding his head slightly, Lei Xiao also replied seriously: "This is my promise to you."

"Hehe, the old man is looking forward to that day!"

Accompanied by a burst of hearty laughter, this ancient secret room, which was originally somewhat depressing, immediately cheered up.

"By the way, although the old man's storage ring is no longer usable, there is still a set of spare weapons and armor reserved by the old man under the bluestone platform where the old man's body sits."

Immediately, Old Xiaoer seemed to remember something, nodded to Fang Hai again and said, "I believe these objects will definitely be of great help to you who also studied the secret martial arts of the Qianduan family."

"The distant grandson thanks the ancestor!"

Hearing the sound, Fang Hai's old eyes lit up, and a look of ecstasy appeared on his old face.

In this way, under Lei Xiao's command.

Knotweed standing aside, rolled up his sleeves, and gently and easily moved away the petrified statue and the heavy bluestone platform below.

A half-meter-square hidden grid emerged.

Next, I saw a burst of energy fluctuations rippling from the body of the old Xiaoer's energy body, and accompanied by the muffled sound of rubbing stones, the dark compartment was slowly opened.

Immediately afterwards, a neatly folded cloth armor and a pair of black matte knuckles appeared in front of everyone.

If you observe carefully, you can see that the whole body of these two pieces of equipment exudes a good energy brilliance, shining brightly in the dark space.

However, there is obviously still a long way to go before the brilliance of Tier 5 equipment.

"Is that so?"

Seeing this, Old Xiaoer couldn't help but sighed softly.

He shook his head helplessly and said: "Although these two pieces of equipment are not top-notch, they have all reached the fifth-level level. It seems that without maintenance, the years have left a lot of damage on them. A heavy trace..."

However, Old Xiaoer's words have not completely fallen.

With Lei Xiao, who was crouching next to the hidden compartment, with a light wave, the two pieces of equipment that were originally somewhat dull suddenly became extremely dazzling.

Needless to say, Lei Xiao has encountered this kind of situation of disrepair many times before, so he can easily handle it with his golden fingers.

"This is...?! It actually returned to the fifth-order level without repairing it?!"

After noticing this scene, Old Xiaoer's eyeballs were about to pop out, and the old man had a dumbfounded look on his face.

Lei Xiao, on the other hand, smiled lightly, and first opened the attribute bar of the weapon.

[Name: Roar of the Lion and Tiger]

[Grade: Tier 5 Extraordinary (Silver)]

【Attack Strength: ★★★★★】

[Additional Effect 1: Lion Eater "Physical Penetration Increased by 60%"]

[Additional effect 2: Tiger disease "Movement increased by 30%"]

[Remarks: The Knuckle Tiger made by the fifth-level forging master Xiao Erqianduan was created by combining the forging techniques of the dwarves and human nations at that time.

Although it was only a prototype, Xiaoer still relied on his superb forging skills and rich forging experience to make this knuckle reach the fifth level, which is far better than most weapons. 】

"With this impressive weapon, Fang Hai's strength will undoubtedly rise to a new level!"

Looking at the colorful, compact and exquisite pure black knuckle in front of him, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, and opened the attribute bar of the next armor.

[Name: Night Warrior Cloth Armor]

[Grade: Tier 5 Extraordinary (Silver)]

[Defense Strength: ★★★]

[Additional effect: Energy reduction (night) must "moderately reduce the user's ability consumption"]

[Remarks: This is a piece of cloth armor from the Dark Elf clan. The special secret method of the Dark Elf clan was added to the sewing, so that the wearer can reduce his own energy consumption when fighting at night. 】

"Not bad, this will undoubtedly increase Fang Hai's endurance in night combat!"

Closing the attribute bar of the cloth armor, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and stood up from the hidden compartment, while Fang Hai impatiently came to the front under the signal of the former, and collected these two pieces of Tier 5 equipment into himself in the bag.

"Your Excellency is indeed not an ordinary person. This kind of magical power can be called a miracle."

On the other side, Old Xiaoer just came back to his senses, and exclaimed to Lei Xiao, "To be honest, at first, I was a little skeptical about your promise just now, but now, I don't have any doubts at all. A sure thought."

"It's just a small skill, not worth mentioning."

Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao started chatting with the other party again.

Next, through questioning and understanding, Lei Xiao learned.

It turned out that the weapons in the sword mound in front of the forging room were left by the soldiers of the guards who died in the battle when the elite spies of the enemy army in the capital were killed after the city was besieged.

Originally, these sharp swords were going to be restored, but Old Xiaoer insisted on keeping them.

One is to always warn other blacksmiths, and the soldiers guarding here, never to be slack and negligent, and the other is to commemorate these heroic guard soldiers.

"So that's how it is."

Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and asked another question that he had been curious about for a long time: "Old Mr. Xiaoer, as far as I know, the enemies at that time did not find the secret treasure of the royal family of Loren. Do you know where the specific treasure is located?"

"...Since the Kingdom of Loren has been destroyed, the old man may simply tell Your Excellency the secret."

After pondering for a while, Old Xiaoer said solemnly: "To tell you the truth, apart from the Loren royal family at that time, this old man is one of the few ministers who are fortunate enough to know the treasure place!"

"Oh? I would like to hear more about it."

The curious expression on Lei Xiao's face became more and more obvious, and he hurriedly asked again.

"It was like this..."

On the other side, old Xiao Er's old eyes were blurred, and he fell into memory again.
