Chapter 347 God-killing Weapons

Chapter 347 God-killing Weapons
After not stepping into the Round Table Hall again after a long absence, Bai Shi suddenly felt that this place was a little unfamiliar.

Since the various faded ones came back, the Round Table Hall has become more lively.

The layout and decoration haven't changed much, but maybe it's because I haven't been back here for a long time, I always feel like something is a little different.

If I have to say something is different, it may be that there are many more upright little knights in the Round Table Hall now, and the atmosphere has changed a little.

Bai Shi passed by various new-faced little knights and came to Xiu Gu's forging room.

But unexpectedly, Xiu Gu's forging room was closed.

Bai Shi stopped outside and heard a low, slow voice coming from the room:

"...Ah, please forgive me, please forgive me."

"It's still far from enough. It's still not enough to reach the gods."

"But I will definitely, absolutely fulfill your wish..."

"Please forgive me, Queen Marika..."

Bai Shi's expression was a little strange.

Eavesdropping is not a good habit, but he didn't do it on purpose.

To be honest, the sound insulation in each independent room in the Round Table Hall is quite good.

Apart from a certain man with a hundred ears, ordinary faded people would not be able to hear clearly even if they put their ears to the door.

It's just that due to the strong hearing, this little bit of sound insulation has almost no effect on Bai Shi.

By the time Bai Shi reacted, these words had already entered his mind.

But it doesn’t matter, I’ve heard it in the game anyway.

Without further hesitation, Bai Shi knocked on the door.

If possible, Bai Shi didn't want to disturb Grandpa Xiu Gu's prayer time.

But Ge Fulei might come back at any time, Bai Shi had to be prepared first and couldn't care less about these things.

After hearing the knock on the door, the prayer sounds in the house immediately stopped, and instead, the sound of dragging an iron chain came from the room.

Xiu Gu opened the door and looked at Bai Shi.

Xiu Gu was a little surprised to see Bai Shi’s visit.

“…Oh, oh, it’s you.”

“I was wondering who it could be.”

After saying that, Xiu Gu nodded himself.

"That's right. It's been a long time since I last forged a weapon for you."

"Well, what needs to be done is still the same, get your weapons out."

Xiu Gu opened the door and then turned back to the forging table.

After Bai Shi entered, he closed the door again. The storm shielded the entire room and would not let any information leak out.

He didn't want others to know what happened next.

Bai Shi stood in front of Master Xiu Gu's forging table and said to him:
"Master Xiu Gu, I hope you can forge a weapon for me that is powerful enough to kill gods."

Hearing what Bai Shi said, Xiu Gu was shocked.

Staring blankly at the forging table in front of him, Xiu Gu hesitated for a while before slowly speaking:

"God-killing weapon..."

"God-killing weapons are not easy to forge."

"It is impossible to forge a weapon powerful enough to kill a god with just ordinary forging stones."

"Only the legendary forging stone, the Ancient Dragon Rock Forging Stone, has such a slight chance."

"Legend has it that the Ancient Dragon Rock Forge Stone is the rock scales of the ancient dragon king, and therefore has the power to distort time and space."

"Only with that kind of material can a god-killing weapon be forged..."

Bai Shi smiled and nodded, placing several large and small clear, colorless forging stones on the forging table.

Without exception, all of this is high-level colorless forging stone.

Among them, two forging stones are particularly special, with regular shapes and extremely sharp edges.

The two forging stones exude a power that slightly distorts time and space, and just looking at them will sting your eyes and make it difficult to look directly at them.

"Yes, the rock scales of the ancient dragon king."

"It is said that the Ancient Dragon King sits in the cracks of time and space, so his scales have some slight distortion of time and space."

"Of course I already knew this, so I came to you."

Xiu Gu was a little dazed as he looked at those extremely high-quality forging stones.

I really didn't expect that Bai Shi would just casually take out two pieces of ancient dragon rock faded forging stone.

That’s right, after all, he is the Sun King who is in full swing on the border.

Apart from Bai Shi, probably no one else can do this.

Mr. Xiu Gu sighed.

He had been forging weapons all his life, but at this moment he actually felt a sense of pressure.

Forging a god-killing weapon, this was something he had never really tried...

No, it’s not that I haven’t tried, it’s just that I failed, and failed miserably.

"I can't guarantee success..."

Bai Shi smiled and was not worried about anything.

"It doesn't matter, just give it a try."

“I trust your craft.”

I don't know what Mr. Xiu Gu was thinking, he said slowly:

"Well, since you said so, there is no way I can refuse."

"Take out the weapon you want to strengthen."

Bai Shi nodded, took out the Sword of Night and Fire from the space disc, and handed it to Grandpa Xiu Gu.

This time, Bai Shi intends to strengthen the Sword of Night and Fire to its peak.

Bai Shi now has two ancient dragon rock faded forging stones in his hand.

In this situation, Bai Shi has few weapons to choose from.

Although I usually collect a lot of weapons as toys, there are only two or three that are powerful enough to actually use.

Eperia has gained the power of abundance and corruption, which has reached its peak and can no longer be strengthened with forgestone.

However, Bai Shi has not found a way to completely solve the problem of corruption yet, so he can only temporarily hand it over to Ashimi, who has abnormal immunity.

Logically speaking, the best option should be to strengthen the two pairs of Star-Breaking Greatswords to the maximum.

As a pair of weapons, the amount of forging stones required is naturally doubled, but the effect is equally good.

Two unrelated god-killing weapons and a pair of god-killing weapons are two different concepts.

But in the end, Bai Shi did not choose the pair of star-breaking swords, but chose the sword of night and fire.

As his first god-killing weapon, Bai Shi still has some selfish motives.

After being strengthened, this first god-killing weapon became Bai Shi's representative weapon.

After all, the Starshatter Greatsword is the famous weapon of Starshatter, and it always feels weird to use it as the representative weapon.

But the Sword of Night and Fire is different. It was given to him by Lani herself and it has great significance.

Of course, Bai Shi’s decision was not entirely motivated by this consideration.

In terms of strength, the Sword of Night and Fire can serve as a carrier of the power of the sun and fully unleash the sun's blazing flames.

This alone is enough to make Bai Shi the weapon to be enhanced with the highest priority.

You must know that the strongest power in Bai Shi now is the power of the sun, which is overwhelmingly stronger than other powers.

If the power of the sun can be fully unleashed, its strength will definitely far exceed that of other enhanced god-killing weapons.

It's just that because it only had a +7 enhancement level before, the Sword of Night and Fire can no longer keep up with the intensity of the battle.

During the first two uses, it was nearly burned to ashes by the blazing flames, so further strengthening was necessary.

When the Sword of Night and Fire is strengthened, it will be able to bear the sun's blazing flames and allow Bai Shi to exert even stronger combat power.

Grandpa Xiu Gu took the Sword of Night and Fire, touched the sword body which showed signs of melting, and frowned.

"How did it burn like this..."

"It will take some time to repair before it can be strengthened."

Bai Shi touched his head.

Oh my, what is this pyroxene? It's really confusing.

As to why such a good sword became like this... I'd better wait until I go to the science program team and ask Grandpa Xiugu for an explanation later.

Bai Shi is now more concerned with more important issues:

"Is it a big problem?" "Will it affect the final enhancement?"

Xiu Gu observed the sword from top to bottom and made his judgment.

"No problem at all."

"Although the sword has some damage, its properties have not been affected."

"It is better to say that the melting of that power has certain benefits."

"After the pure flame burned, the fire power of this weapon itself was raised to a higher level."

After hearing what Grandpa Xiu Gu said, Bai Shi finally felt relieved.

Unexpectedly, the sword was purified after being burned twice, and it only suffered some "external injuries".

At this time, Grandpa Xiu Gu had already picked up the hammer, placed the Sword of Night and Fire, and was ready to start work.

He finally raised his head and looked at Bai Shi, then said:

"You don't have to stay here all the time during this time."

"Forging time is probably quite boring for you."

Bai Shi nodded, but did not leave immediately.

"How long will it take to repair and strengthen it?"

"This is a serious matter, and I don't intend to let it out of my sight."

Xiu Gu thought for a moment and said:

"Are you worried about that Baizhi guy?"

"Although weapons have no appeal to him, I can understand that."

"In that case, please wait a moment."

"Compared to forging a weapon from scratch, strengthening takes very little time."

Bai Shi nodded. If it doesn't take very long, then just wait a moment.

Because he heard Xiugu praying alone outside the door, Bai Shi is now very curious about him.

Just use it to kill time while waiting.

"Actually, I just overheard your prayer outside the door."

"I didn't mean to do that, it's just that... the soundproofing of the Round Table Hall is a little insufficient for me."

"Regarding what you mentioned about Queen Marika, I am somewhat concerned."

Grandpa Xiu Gu had no objection to the fact that Bai Shi heard his prayers.

This is actually not something shameful.

Moreover, it was unexpected that Bai Shi could hear it even after the door was closed. Xiu Gu could only say that he did not pay attention.

Sighing, Mr. Xiu Gu asked back:

"So, you plan to find out?"

Bai Shi nodded.

"Yes, I care."

"Besides that, I'm also curious about your experience."

"After all, there are only a few blacksmiths with such superb forging skills in the entire border area."

Xiu Gu threw the Sword of Night and Fire into the furnace to heat it up, and said without turning his head:
"Okay, but don't expect the same old story."
-
"Forging is the skill of giants."

"In the distant past, forging was considered a ritual of worship."

"The mountain goblins are descendants of giants, and they have inherited this special skill."

“My story happened in the distant past.”

Grandpa Xiu Gu said this as he struck the Sword of Night and Fire, which had been re-forged and turned red.

"It was a time when the melting pot of life was constantly differentiating, and each organism was different and had characteristics of each other."

"At that time, I wasn't as old and thin as I am now."

"The Crucible has given me a body far superior to my kind. Even the lion hybrids cannot compare to what I once was."

"But among the hybrids, I am an outlier."

"Although common hybrids have different appearances, they are generally not too different."

"And the lion hybrids with strange shapes are born with the ability to lead, which is the proof of their identity."

"A peculiar outlier like me was not recognized, and it was difficult to resist facing so many hybrids, so I was eventually driven out."

Xiu Gu smiled self-deprecatingly.

"It's amazing. I was a hybrid that was chased away, but I was accepted by mountain goblins and giants when I was wandering."

"Since then, I have been hanging out with giants and mountain goblins, and I have also learned the art of forging."

"I don't know if they thought I was one of their own kind, so they accepted me."

"After all, at that time, there were humanoid creatures with horns, larger than mountain goblins, and close to giants."

"It was not easy to accurately distinguish races at that time."

"Of course, it could also be that they are just being kind-hearted."

Xiu Gu's hands did not stop moving at all, as if the story he was telling was not his own.

Soon, the Sword of Night and Fire regained its former sharpness, and the repair was completed.

Xiu Gu picked up the forging stone and prepared to start the strengthening part.

Bai Shi said almost nothing, just leaned against the wall and listened silently.

"But it doesn't really matter what your previous identity was."

"I am a slave. That should be obvious, just look at the shackles on me."

"But I never said who I was enslaved by and why I was here."

Turning his head to glance at Bai Shi, Master Xiu Gu continued:

"...Ah, don't misunderstand me."

"I'm not complaining about being a slave."

"This matter has nothing to do with you, and I am not opposed to forging weapons."

"No matter who I am, I can make my weapons stronger - technology and time will not betray me."

"...This can also help me temporarily forget how terrifying that adult is."

After hearing this, Bai Shi finally reacted and asked proactively:
"That lord...?"

"Are you referring to Queen Marica or King Gefulei?"

Mr. Xiu Gu raised his head and said:

"It's Queen Marica, but if I have to say, it's both."

"You must know the outcome of the Giant War."

"I naturally sided with the giants and fought against King Gefulei personally."

The ancient dragon rock forging stone was gradually integrated into the Sword of Night and Fire through unique forging technology.

"I am the forger of the Sword Skeleton Greatsword, and also the first user."

"And of course, as the enemy of the Golden Tree, I was defeated by King Gefulei."

"It was also because of using the Sword Skeleton Greatsword that the life force of the innate furnace was almost consumed and it was on the verge of death."

"But Queen Marica took a liking to my forging skills."

"Because of the structure of my body, I am not like the giants and goblins who possess the power of the evil god of fire."

"So she changed my fate of death and turned me into one of the common hybrids."

"After that, I kept forging for her wishes."

"As for what she hopes to do...I'm sorry, I'm branded and can't tell."

Xiu Gu struck down with the last heavy blow of the hammer, the edge of the Sword of Night and Fire flashed, and blood instantly flowed from his eyes.

Avoiding the sharp edge, Xiu Gu smiled at Bai Shi with satisfaction.

"Yes, even looking directly at it will cause your eyes to be cut."

"This is what a god-killing weapon should look like."

Bai Shi walked forward and picked up the strengthened Sword of Night and Fire.

As the Sword of Night and Fire was raised, the space seemed to be shattered.

Sword of Night and Fire +10, a weapon truly powerful enough to kill gods.
