[Equipment Skills: Attack Action Acceleration, Movement Speed ​​Increase, Holy Armor Break [Concept]]

[Form Release: Invisible Holy Thunder Blade]

The conceptual skill of this 9th-level sword is called Holy Armor Breaking, which means that if the opponent has no defense against the holy system, then its attack will directly penetrate the enemy's armor.

"Do you know what will happen if you collect all five swords?" asked Alafia.

165. Broken Promise Revenge Spear

"Once they are all gathered, will they... summon a dragon?"

"What a weird joke that is."

Ella Fiya rolled her eyes at Leon and asked, "What did Faronio tell you?"

"She said that if you collect all five swords, you can get Ernest's hidden treasure. But she wants a share because she has one of the swords."

"That guy never does business without making a loss." Alafia shook her head.

"I think it sounds reasonable?" Li Ang said.

"The so-called treasure obtained by collecting all five swords, if I'm not mistaken, should be the unknown Ernest Foundry, the workshop where this master craftsman created most of the equipment," said the blond.

Ellaphia said that when Ernest married a female craftsman from the Hawen tribe, one of Fallo's ancestors, her Alma family served as witnesses.

Therefore, it is recorded in her family documents that Ernest's main work and life place since his youth was that studio.

"The workshop might contain prototypes of Noble Phantasms, methods for crafting equipment, rare materials, or even completed Noble Phantasms never before seen. From that perspective, finding a workshop is like finding a treasure."

Alafia said helplessly, "So, while the Divine Craftsman's workshop shouldn't be empty, obtaining them won't be easy. The reason this workshop remains undiscovered is because, like the realm, it's hidden between dimensions. Secondly, for a Divine Craftsman so highly sought after, whose products are all top-tier, how could anyone simply let him come and go in his workshop?"

"If you think of it in the context of a conventional legendary story, it would be filled with traps and dangers. Not only would you have to painstakingly gather the swords, but you would also be responsible for resolving the crisis, while Faronio would just wait and share the spoils."

The blonde was dissatisfied with this.

"Besides, we still don't know who spread the news that collecting all five swords can open the path to the studio."

An intriguing micro-expression appeared on the blond boy's face.

"Falonio knows more about Ernest than anyone else. In my past interactions with her, she never cared about finding the Ancestor's studio. Now that she's focused on this, I think she's more interested in finding out who leaked the information."

"Oh?" Li Ang really didn't expect this to happen.

If you look at it from a player's perspective, Faro asking him to collect the five swords is just the beginning of a big quest line.

Even from the perspective of Newbiss Sky Knight, there are many long-term commissions like this. Anyway, I'll write them down first. Maybe I can solve them unexpectedly at some point during my adventure. "So, you want to collect these five swords?"

Alafia completely pulled out the Soul-Shocking Light. This sword was made into a rapier, which was very long for a young girl. She looked like a doll. If you didn't know her well, you might worry that she would hurt herself with the weapon.

However, even though she usually used magic to control weapons, she also performed a set of gorgeous swordsmanship. In an instant, the sword blade drew dazzling electric phantoms in the room.

Ellaphia ended her sword dance and sheathed the sword.

"The five divine swords each have their own specific focus, and their usage and manifestation of power are completely different. However, since they were created by the same person, their power may be able to synergize. If used as a set, the power of any single sword may surpass the three treasures I currently possess, significantly increasing my strength."

Yes, this guy is a typical strength-oriented person, Li Ang thought to himself.

"At the same time, collecting a set of treasures like this also makes people happy."

Well, the possessiveness of the eldest lady. Li Ang understood.

"Have you seen Faro's 'Burning Talent'?" asked Ellaphia.

"Yes, I even have a replica."

Leon looked at Zoe. The girl's eyes were fixed on the shocking soul light. Upon hearing that, she drew out the replica of the Sword of Fire from her waist.

"I got it by spinning the wheel," Zoe boasted.

After seeing so many Noble Phantasms, she wasn't trying to show off how powerful her sword was, but rather had a card-showing mentality.

Ellaphia took the hilt and examined it, smiling slightly. "This was a creation of Faro's when her equipment-making skills were still immature, but she was very proud of it, so she put it in the prize pool on the roulette wheel."

After returning the Sword of Fire to Zoe, the blonde girl said, "Since you've seen the Burning Talent, I'll tell you about my understanding of the Five Swords of the Divine Craftsman."

Douding said that these five swords came from the five stages of Ernest's life. She knew some of the information from Farlo and some from her own collection.

"Burning Passion and Talent" was created by Ernest when he was young and proud. It is slightly less powerful, but from an artistic point of view, it is a sword of the highest level.

The second sword, called Bone-Eroding Love and Hate, was forged when Ernest was betrayed by his lover. He used a technique he had never liked, and because of that sword, his skills became more comprehensive. It is now in the hands of the leader of the group "Walking in the Clouds".

The third sword, called Fate's Cold Stream, was known only as a creation from a low point in his life, the same period in which he reached the ninth level of craftsmanship. Though it was meant to symbolize a fresh start in life, it was stolen upon its creation, and lost along with the sword thief in some ancient ruin.

The fourth weapon is the Soul-Shocking Light, created during Ernest's time traveling the world in search of life's meaning. The Star Flower Troupe and Ellaphia witnessed its origins in the Saint's Chamber, and those currently in this teahouse are the people who understand it best.

The fifth sword, called Zen Heart Flowing Water, is currently in the possession of the Qionglu Society. It was crafted by Ernest in his later years, when he reached the pinnacle of mastery and became a true master craftsman. It was both the last sword Ernest forged and the last piece of equipment he crafted.

"Have you noticed? There's a long time between the five swords, and each one reflects a significant period in Ernest's life.

"They weren't made all at once, and when he made the last sword, except for the Burning Talent that he left to his wife, the other three were no longer in his possession."

Ellaphia shook her head. "So, it's impossible that he added some mechanism to the five swords before his death, allowing them to open the studio door. There's something fishy behind this rumor.

“But regarding Ernest, there are still a lot of people who want to collect the Five Swords of the Divine Craftsman. This matter is like an open conspiracy, laid out in front of everyone.

"The most difficult one has been found. If we have the chance to collect the rest, we might be able to find out what the mastermind behind this is planning."

Alafia handed the Soul-Shocking Light to Leon, and he pushed back with his palm raised.

"Give it to you."

Douding said quickly, "Give it to me? You're really short of high-level equipment right now, what good would it do to give it to me?"

Although she said it with certainty, her eyebrows quickly raised at the beginning.

"A Rank 9 powerhouse, the honor of a Paladin, and the friendship of a member of the Knight Council are certainly more important than a Noble Phantasm."

Ella's cheeks flushed pink. "I told you not to praise me so exaggeratedly like you were acting."

As she spoke, her gaze was increasingly directed towards the silver-blue sword.

So Leon pushed the sword forward again.

Zoe muttered quietly, "If you don't want it, give it to me. I don't have four swords yet."

"Look, your team members also use swords. You can keep them for your family."

Ella Fia said that, but the way she looked at Jing Shenhunguang was like a child looking at toys on the counter.

Zoe said, "I can give it to you, but you have to repay Leon. As long as he's well, I don't care."

Alafia cleared her throat, a strange, almost competitive attitude rising from her.

"Not only is it a 9th-tier Noble Phantasm, it's also extremely valuable as a collectible. I can't possibly want it for nothing."

She gently brushed the silver-blue scabbard. "I have three Noble Phantasms in my arsenal that I can exchange for. Which one do you want?"

Her 9th-tier treasures are: the Broken Promise Revenge Thorn Lance, the Flame Demon Chain Claw, and the Dark Gold Ghost Face Hammer, two of which were used in the battle with Lei Xiao Xinghun.

"That gun."

Since Li Ang has a systematic equipment manufacturing system, he is scheduled to participate in the Qiongluhui meeting to complete the quest line to master the method of Noble Phantasm manufacturing. Given the level of bugs in the system, he should have no shortage of Noble Phantasms sooner or later.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, it is unlikely that the Star Flower Brigade will be a large, fully staffed group. It can only take the route of an elite small group. In this case, the equipment of the members must naturally be improved as much as possible.

In order to equip them properly, he would need to master more techniques and obtain more Noble Phantasms, so he was somewhat interested in visiting Ernest's workshop. He wasn't sure if that would be part of the quest line, after all, in Newbiss, which had lost the method of crafting Noble Phantasms, Ernest was the only person connected to it.

Even though Alafia had already said that there was something fishy about the news, taking risks is always a matter of risk. Instead, he wanted to collect all five swords and take a look.

The reason why I gave the Shocking Soul Light to Alafia was that when we explore, she could become a good helper by tempting us with the sword and the Godsmith's Workshop.

Leon did not resist the exchange of Noble Phantasms.

Li Ang saw Zoe's gaze, and the expression on her face seemed to say, "I fought for it for you, praise me."

Alafia tore open a dimensional rift and snapped her fingers, causing a black spear with a forward-pointing spike on its blade to fly out of the armory.

The last time I saw Alafia use this black gun, it was more suitable for him now than the other two.

He is not a blademaster, and his current physical strength is not enough to swing the sledgehammer. He does not have the professional skills to use the blade claws, so he has to learn the melee profession if he wants to use them.

Even though it wouldn't be a problem if there was a system, this was something he could use right now.

Li Ang grabbed the gun barrel and caught it.

【Broken Promise Revenge Thorn Spear】

This is a black spear that has repeatedly fallen into the hands of famous avengers. The power of resentment allows it to strike a devastating blow, the silent blade cleanly taking life and sending it back into the cycle of reincarnation.

[Level: 9]

Category: Spear, Noble Phantasm

[Energy Source: Curse of Resentment]

[Attack Enhancement: Attacks are guaranteed to hit when taking revenge]

[Equipment Skills: Life Absorption, Will to Avoid Death, Infernal Reversal [Concept]]

[Form Release: Counterattack Dark Blade]

Behind the spear tip surrounded by reverse spikes, several black and purple wrappings embroidered with dark gold runes floated around the spear body. The spirituality within them was binding the unknown power coming from the magical dimension.

When he saw this gun before, Leon felt that it was very ancient, and its spiritual structure was a bit like the technique of a sorcerer. After encountering the devil this time, this feeling became even stronger.

The energy in the gun was similar to the imperial meter he had seen and the dark elemental power revealed by Andasu.

Its attack enhancement is quite special. It does not add damage or any special features, but focuses on hitting accuracy.

The last time Leon saw Alafia use it was when someone from the Order Air Cavalry was injured. The "revenge" range of this gun is actually quite wide.

I don't use it as the main attack at the beginning because it is most effective when used in counterattacks.

There are three skills. The first one is as the name suggests, and the second one is very powerful. According to the description, the gun holder can get a chance to withstand death by willpower. When the physical condition recovers to the maximum, the effect is refreshed.

The third one is a conceptual skill belonging to the 9th-level equipment. The effect is that the lower the health of the gun holder, the higher the increase in spiritual activity. When the gun holder is about to die, it may be possible to achieve an effect similar to spiritual activation.

Leon casually played with the spear for a few times, and Alafia said with disdain, "You are not a melee professional at all."

"When I first started adventuring, I practiced these to become a warrior."

Li Ang smiled, inputted magic power, activated its form and released it

He had never seen Alafia use this form and was very curious.

After the magic power was injected, the spike at the front of the Broken Promise Revenge Spear levitated and separated from the spear blade. Like the handle burned by fire, it quickly disintegrated into tiny black blades that attached to the spear blade, adding more serrations to them.

Dark gold rune wrap shot forward, wrapping around the ends of the gun blades and connecting them into a circle.

The dark purple wrappings wrapped around these black blades floated and swirled around Leon, like blade armor with self-controlled defense and counterattack. When attacked, they would swing the wrappings, launching a series of dark blade counterattacks.

"Oh, this Noble Phantasm is really nice."

"I also think these are the three most suitable for you." said Alafia.

In this way, the Broken Promise Revenge Thorn Lance changed from an offensive equipment to a form with both offensive and defensive capabilities.

Combined with the skills and this liberation form, its design concept is very clear, which is to allow the holder to hold on in a tough battle and kill the opponent with the enhancement gained from being injured.

The person who created it must also be a person with superb skills in understanding combat.

After returning to his liberated form, Leon placed the gun aside.

Because of the characteristics of this weapon, you can just swing it casually when using it in normal state. When you really want to attack with all your strength, just cast a spell and use the creation to throw it out.

Zoe curiously drew out the Wind's Breath Sword and asked, "After my sword is restored, can I release its form?"

"Eh? What are you doing?"

Elafia was very interested in the condition of Zoe's sword. However, after observing it, she came to a similar conclusion as Faronio, and also said that only that little kid could currently restore it.

Zoe had just obtained the purest star crystal with wind attribute from Baal. When she went to the Holy City to find Faronio, she could ask her for help.

"Although I can't help restore its power, I can roughly analyze its structure."

The blonde girl raised her hand to sense the structure of the Wind Breath Sword. After closing her eyes for a while, she said, "This sword is quite interesting."

"It's forged differently from any other Noble Phantasm I've ever seen. Perhaps it comes from a civilization I'm unfamiliar with, or perhaps from a very ancient time."

Although Leon and Zoe were surprised by what Alafia said and remembered it, there was nothing more to say without further information.

After looking at the Sword of Breath of Wind, the blond said to Zoe, "I'll give you something else."

She raised her hand, and pure magic metal emerged, forming chains with rings at the end.

"This is a training device for blademasters before they master the art of levitating weapons with magic. As an elemental swordsman, you need to coordinate the use of four swords, but the sword-slicing action itself takes up a lot of movement opportunities in combat."

During their previous chat, Alafia learned about Zoe's profession and fighting style.
