Chapter 413 Repetition
It was an unprecedented shame for Gao Wen to be knocked down twice by the same method in one day.After waking up again, the anger born from the heart instantly destroyed his reason, but was immediately suppressed by another emotion - that was the fear that sent chills down his back.

Isabella the Deceiver, one of the most notorious "evils" in Pravda annals.During a series of earth-shattering events, such as the political turmoil in the upper echelon of the Falcon Empire and the founding of Oakland, this soul-sealing dagger was always hidden behind the scenes, adding countless historical mysteries to the chaotic situation at that time.

Scholars of later generations deduced the historical truth of the year through various documents and found that this dagger was involved in the deaths of at least two emperors, five royal heirs, and seventeen princely-level upper-level power figures in the empire.However, to this day, there is still no definite evidence to confirm the identity of the murderer.It was its next owner, Adrian the Thief King, one of the Twelve Sages, who really brought the dagger from behind the scenes to the front of the stage.

Purely from the perspective of weapons, the Trickster is not even a magical weapon, because it has the ability to seal the soul, many people regard it as a magic item.For those who have not really understood the history of that year, it is difficult to understand why a mere soul-sealing dagger can accumulate such great victories.

The reason why Isabella the Deceiver was not called Isabella the Soul Sealer was not because of the curse of the vicious lady back then, but because of another ability it possessed, which was more terrifying than the Soul Sealer.

That ability is called fantasy realization, and there is a more professional name called rule modification.

Extract illusions from one's own spiritual world, project them into the real world, and distort or even modify the existing rules. Although this ability has extremely strict time and scope restrictions, there is no doubt that it has Touched the edge of the domain of "God".

For a thief, if he can completely modify his physical characteristics, then he will be invincible.If he could completely erase his sense of existence, then there would be no target in this world that he could not assassinate.

For a spellcaster with strong spiritual power, this ability means that he can summon all kinds of magic out of thin air, and for a resourceful man with deep scheming and good grasp of human nature, this ability will completely liberate everything bondage!
Recalling the two times he fell into the trap for no apparent reason, Gao Wen couldn't help but feel a chill running down his back. He can now confirm that the notorious fraudster has indeed found a suitable owner.It's just that I don't know why Adrian's double blades leaked out. Could it be that this pair of dogs and men are the inheritors of his school?
General Hank just briefly talked about the glorious deeds of the robbers hunting for treasure and Quesaras selling his teammates. He didn't mention much about El and his party involved in it. It is understandable for Gao Wen to explain clearly.However, his ambiguity made Gao Wen more firm in his wrong judgment, and then walked into a dead end of thinking.

He never considered the situation of Adrian being killed, which is understandable.It is impossible for ordinary people to believe that an old monster of the golden rank who has lived for thousands of years will be dragged off the throne by a few juniors and beaten to death.

It was getting late, and most of the drinkers in the tavern had dispersed, leaving only the kobold sitting on the bar counter, holding a wine bottle in one hand, and playing the shamisen intermittently with the other hand, bringing a sense of joy to this silent night. Let's have some refreshing music.

Al and Laurana sat at a table, listening with interest to Ackford's spitting and selling of his private goods.After Gao Wen was brought down for the second time, Ackford immediately realized that the young couple in front of him must be the target he was looking for, so he posted it immediately.

"This is a forged steel corrugated sword specially produced by the Falcon Empire. It has been used by the active army for more than 200 years. The traditional casting process on the Falcon side has a history of thousands of years. Supplies, the quality is also enough to be compared with the 'sword' on the market."

Ackford took a slender wooden box from the servant behind him, opened the box, and uncovered the oilcloth inside, and the sharp aura unique to metal immediately came out.It is almost impossible to observe with the naked eye, just relying on the feeling to know that it is indeed a rare and good sword.As Ackford said, it's a family sword.

But in the Falcon Empire, such a good sword is actually only the standard weapon of the army!

"You're exaggerating..." Lorana chuckled lightly, and reached out to take out the long sword from the wooden box. The sword looked very traditional in style, and there was nothing new about it, but it could be seen on the blade. Seeing layers of dark lines like water waves, this may be the origin of its name.The girl turned her wrist, and the cold light flashed along the blue sword's edge, piercing people's eyes.

"Even an ordinary person like me who doesn't know much about weapons can tell that this is a good sword. But if you want to say that it is a precious sword, it is a little exaggerated. As far as I know, the alchemy of our country The alchemy quenching technology developed by the warlocks may not necessarily be weaker than the traditional craftsmanship of the Falcon Empire."

Laurana put the long sword back into the wooden box and said noncommittally.

"It is indeed as you said, my lady." Ackford nodded and said: "The weapons equipped by the elite army of Thunder Fortress are not weaker than falcons. But I must remind you that our country's alchemy and quenching technology So far, the problem of high cost has not been solved. Therefore, we can only arm the most elite legions with all our efforts. In Falcon, this level of weapons is only the standard equipment of the provincial garrison That's all."

"Is that so? If it's just standard equipment, the cost should naturally be within the normal range." Laurana showed a standard commercial smile on her face.

"The production cost is indeed within an acceptable range. According to our information, it is about twelve times that of ordinary fine steel long swords. If it is replaced by our country's alchemy and quenching process, then the cost will be at least Increased by about [-] to [-] times." Akford said with some emotion.

"So the price you offered..."

"Oh my God, my lady, do you think these weapons will fall from the sky? Don't you consider the human cost we have to pay for it?"

Being able to meet such a colleague in this refugee camp made Akford feel mixed in his heart. He was happy that he finally had a knowledgeable person who could communicate with him and let him show his strengths.But what worries him is that this young lady is not only knowledgeable, but also proficient in it, and the energy spent negotiating with her has almost doubled.

"I just don't quite understand. Since you have such a channel, wouldn't it be a better choice to deal directly with the high-level officials of Thunder Fortress? Compared with us poor and white refugees, the rewards from Thunder Fortress will obviously be more generous." Right." The girl smiled softly.

"Please don't forget that our Silver Ingot Castle itself is a member of Thunder Fortress. Your question involves our internal secrets, and it is not convenient for me to answer. But I can at least promise you one thing - even if you spend ten times the money , and it is impossible to buy weapons of this level from Thunder Fortress officials."

Ackford smiled, turned around and took another wooden box from the servant's hand: "If you still have doubts about this, then you might as well take a look at this bee stinger, this is not a human craft. They are private goods that flowed from the hands of the elves in the Emerald Sea. I brought twenty pieces this time, which are all in stock, really priceless good things..."

Gawain angrily walked to several people, sat down under Ackford's astonished gaze, glared at El and Laurana, and said in a deep voice, "Where is my book?"

"Hey, is this your attitude of begging for help?" El pouted and sneered, since he figured out that this guy didn't come here to trouble him, and he didn't do well, he immediately put it away. The cautious attitude was replaced by a shameless face.

"Compared to the treasures that Mr. Baron brought out, the 'Legendary Armament' in your hands is the real priceless treasure. Even if we intend to kill and steal goods out of malicious intent, isn't it surprising?" Laurana held her cheeks in her hands, and walked away with a smile. He took out the ancient book from his cuff and placed it on the table.

Gao Wen ignored the girl's teasing, and reached out to take it, but his hand stopped halfway, because he saw that the girl's hand on the book did not retract, and there was still a blooming flower on that hand. A small and delicate blood rose.

"Of course this book can be returned to you, but you have to cooperate with us." Laurana said.

"What cooperation?" Gao Wen looked at the girl in surprise.

"What should be said and what should not be said, Mr. Gao Wen, you have said a lot just now." The corners of Laurana's mouth turned up slightly, but her lovely smile looked like a devil in Gao Wen's eyes.

"People like you shouldn't be overwhelmed by unnecessary anger. It's better to calm down and think about it... Blackstone Fort is already our territory, and cooperation with us is the most suitable choice." The girl said softly.

Gao Wen was silent for a moment, the anger in his eyes gradually calmed down, he took the ancient book in his hand, nodded and said in a deep voice: "You are right, you are indeed qualified to cooperate with me. But you don't want to Wishful thinking, the things under the ruins have no meaning to you..."

He suddenly realized that something was wrong, his body shivered involuntarily, and he swallowed back what he was going to say next.

Gawain turned his head suddenly, but what he saw was Ackford's terrified eyes. Baron Saladin opened his mouth wide to try to warn him, but he didn't make a sound, looking like an actor in a farce.

In the blink of an eye, Gao Wen had already figured out the cause and effect, and a vein could not help but pop up on his forehead.

Fuck, you bitch cheated on me again?
