Quit the team, then picked up a beautiful girl with problems

The key to the growth of the Dragon Rock Armor Core Sword is to find a suitable earth attribute core later, while the key to the growth of this water sword lies in the reshaping of the sword body in the future.

With the precise operation of the Furnace of Creation, the second sword soon came into being. Wrapped in magic, it was like a blue feather falling from the sky.

"Wow, it's so beautiful." Alulu exclaimed.

Xiao Niu stared at the falling magic sword, the blue light reflected in her eyes. Perhaps because of the hardships in the past and the requirements of the doctrine, she usually did not express her likes and dislikes of material things too clearly, but the brilliance of this equipment made her look like a little girl who liked dazzling things.

"Hey, this is much more eye-catching than my staff." Dorothy shook the mermaid-incarnation staff.

"Yours is the top priority, why are you making a fuss?" Li Ang said.

Knowing that the second piece of equipment also belonged to her, Zoe happily waved towards the sky. Anna stood quietly beside her, looking at the Dragon Rock Armor Core Sword, and then at the azure feathers in the sky.

Except for the Star Flower Brigade who were in high spirits, everyone else present had a complicated expression.

Le Ang had seen this kind of expression before. It was the expression that appeared when one realized during an adventure that others had a qualitative gap in equipment and supplies compared to oneself.

The Order Flower Sword Corps and engineers should not envy the level 6 equipment. They may have taken into consideration that Leon controls the Furnace of Creation and has the craftsmanship to create equipment freely. When it is upgraded to level 7 and 8, his team will always use rare goods in the eyes of others.

In fact, Leon himself also had a feeling of being in another world. In the past, as a sorcerer, he was the one who experienced this feeling.

The Furnace of Mechanical Creation has a special conveyor belt, and the completed items can be transported to the storage area nearby. When the cleaning guard came over, he did not realize that those platforms were used to store products.

Just to respond to his kitten's impatience, he had the weapon wrapped in the furnace magic field and sent down, as if he was deliberately being high-profile.

But Zoe enjoyed this, and her expectations were soon met. When the sword fell to a similar height, she smiled, squatted down, gathered her strength, and jumped up to grab the sword, then presented it to her companions.

The Water Sword caused the girls to exclaim in surprise.

It looks like a whole piece of ice or blue jade. The detachable parts are all dyed with water color, and there is no visible seam at all. It is full of smooth beauty of seamless integration. The sword body is also very light and thin, and is only slightly thickened at the sword spine and sword guard, and is covered with sapphire-like sea dragon scales.

The Island Forger's pattern and the power of the Sea Dragon Ancestor, spanning tens of millions of years and countless causalities, peacefully converge here. Considering the strength of both the user and the forger, it is temporarily limited by the strength of the material, unable to fully unleash the Dragon Ancestor's surging power.

"Great! Now all four attribute swords are complete."

Zoe drew out her sword quickly. The sharpness of the weapon made the people around her subconsciously step back slightly, and then they saw her hands dancing quickly, producing a flash of sword light.

I thought it was just a little girl's play, but after a few seconds, the knights of the realm of excellence led by Melegon noticed something unusual.

The girl was wielding four swords at the same time. The lights of the two swords in her hands intertwined, and the extra two swords were cleverly thrown to her side when they were not grasped. They were always caught accurately before they completely hit the ground.

It looked like a circus, but Melegon saw the trick.

The Knight Commander walked towards Leon and asked softly, "This seems to be Miss Ellaphia's swordsmanship?"

"How do you know?" Li Ang was a little surprised.

"The Knights of Order also hold various gatherings to exchange martial arts skills. Sometimes, our Knight Leader will discard summoned beasts and equipment that greatly enhance combat power, and simply compete with the Knights of Order in skills."

Melegon smiled. "Although Captain Ellaphia is a Havin and has a small stature, her war dance with the sword using thin chains has left a deep impression on many people. It seems she has taught this to your members."

"That's true." Now that he was recognized, Li Ang had nothing to hide.

He saw that Melgon seemed hesitant to speak, and after he showed an attitude of waiting for the other party to speak, Melgon finally spoke.

"It seems like you guys have a really good relationship."

"really?"

Is there any suspicion about the relationship between Aifei and me? Or, in other words, whose business is this? Li Ang thought.

"Among the guild's senior management, there have been rumors targeting Alma."

Melegon meant that Alma referred to both Ellaphia herself and her family.

Leon knew nothing about the Alma family. For someone like him who had no background in Newbis, even if he reached the 9th level and became a member of the heavenly group, he might not be able to access the vast network of relationships within the guild. As for some of the ancient and large families that have been passed down to this day, it is even more so.

It was also because of the system that I could see Aifei's panel that I realized that she, a blademaster, came from the "weapon race", and that she became more familiar with the profiteer Douding Faronio because of her equipment manufacturing ability. Only then did I know that there were big family forces behind these Douding.

Melegon said, "As mentioned earlier, your swordsman friend was suspected in the Diamond Quicksand case. In fact, Captain Ellaphia was also a suspect at the time."

"I know that."

Leon knew about this. At that time, Elafia had not yet reached her current status in the guild. She was not the leader of the Knights of Order or a member of the Knights' Council. Unlike today, no one dared to comment when she spoke.

"Given her background and character, she shouldn't have been suspected. However, our investigation revealed that some people were deliberately spreading rumors. Some members of Diamond Quicksand were their blood relatives, and their disappearances grieved them. They channeled this grief and anger into striking back at the thorn in their side."

Leon frowned after listening to Melgon's words, recalling the members of Diamond Quicksand. At that time, everyone at the Soul Peak was very angry. He also remembered that there were indeed many Haven people in Diamond Quicksand, and they were scolded by Will and Ramus as "those bastard dwarfs".

If they didn't account for a large proportion of the population, they would definitely not curse so much.

Judging from the average number of races, there are more than 20 people in Diamond Quicksand, and the Hawen tribe is almost 10. The second largest group is humans, followed by the Beast Ears tribe, and the Ox Horn tribe has very few people.

The things involved in that group... are far more complicated than I imagined. The reason why their members can come together may be some kind of symbolism. They all represent the families behind them. Their formation of a group at least shows that there is a connection of interests between the families.

"You're an excellent Sky Knight. Since we've brought up Captain Ellaphia, let's just chat about it. This is just a casual chat, nothing extraneous."

Melegon smiled and walked away.

Li Ang understood his hint and thanked the young man in his heart, and his evaluation of him improved again.

Even though the Flores airspace is the most peaceful place, the Knights of Order guarding it are still outstanding talents. Or, in other words, it is precisely because this place is the most prosperous that it needs the most reliable people to maintain it.

Aifei seemed to be in a state of prosperity on the surface, but secretly she had enemies. Leon had anticipated this, but he had no idea how strong the opposition was. Only after hearing what Mellegon said did he finally understand.

It's not easy for her either, Li Ang sighed inwardly.

Shaking his head, he looked at Zoe who was still playing with the sword and activated the Furnace of Creation.

Since this furnace can make things so quickly, he can equip the team with a lot of things.

The last piece of equipment given to Zoe happened to be related to the sword dance technique she demonstrated.

Since she came to the Crucible to fight this time, she definitely didn't bring the set of training props with her, so she danced with the sword with her bare hands. In actual combat, her current sword-cutting skills were not enough to fight against a strong enemy, and she needed real equipment to assist her.

Originally, Leon's current level of equipment manufacturing at level 5 was not enough to produce equipment that could assist with this skill. According to his understanding, this kind of thing belonged to additional parts of equipment.

In game terms, this is called an extra equipment slot. Generally speaking, the racial advantage of the Oxhorn Clan is that they have an extra equipment slot for horn ornaments. Some people who seek strength will also make tail ring-type equipment, but there are very few craftsmen who can make special parts of the equipment produce powerful effects.

As for the Beast-Eared Tribe, the earrings and chains on their tails also belong to this category.

Zoe's race is "unknown", but her body structure is exactly the same as that of humans. For humans, except for some people who have undergone physical modifications or indescribable people, there are no additional equipment slots.

However, within the Island Caster pattern, there is an engineering auxiliary unit, a small device that can receive the user's magic power and float on the side, capable of carrying various tools.

You only need to modify the tool part into a sword rack, and you can create a sword that floats at your side to help the girl carry weapons. The four-attribute swords can be used at any time.

After a period of design, Leon quickly built this thing and threw it to Zoe. Kitty used the floating sword rack, with two swords on his shoulders, one on the left and one on the right. He danced with the two swords in his hands, and immediately jumped off the console to find the remains of the guards as targets to test his sword skills.

Anna was surrounded by the light of star souls. She jumped off the platform and landed lightly on the ground as if she was weightless, and followed Zoe.

To Leon's surprise, Leviathan also ran after Anna. These two little snake dragons had their own frequency of communication, and their relationship had gotten better without them noticing.

After Zoe finished dealing with it, she went to Allulu's shield.

Regarding the types of shields, Li Ang had thought of many before. Now, using the materials in the furnace, the prototype of the shield that best suits her has been formed.

Likewise, they are modular to allow for future upgrades to the design.

Although for safety reasons, the best shields should be given to the vanguard before the battle, the fact that Leon can only produce level 6 equipment is a problem.

He looked at the experience bar again. The equipment manufacturing level was very close to level 6. By then, even if it was difficult, he would be able to create equipment of excellent level.

Leon asked Faser to start gathering materials. Flames splashed in the center of the Mechanical Creation Furnace, and finally a small piece of smooth and bright alloy was created. This was not the 8th-level material [Imitation Source Alloy] used by the Island Caster to make guards. He knew the manufacturing method, but his magic level was not enough.

This alloy is a "lightweight version" created by Li Ang by combining the craftsman's knowledge and laws in his mind. He named it mirror alloy.

Through the material strengthening of the fusion law, several metals are connected into a smooth and flat silver mirror, and its hardness even exceeds the strength of ordinary pure magic material.

And it is the base core of the entire shield.

Surrounding this piece of mirror alloy, subsequent materials are gradually made into modules and spliced around it. The magic flowing among them is amplifying the effectiveness of this piece of metal, achieving a unique equipment effect.

Like a flat mirror, the brand new shield slowly fell from the sky. Before it reached the front, the firelight it reflected was extremely dazzling. Even the colors of the people's clothes below were reflected by the mirror surface and turned into various dazzling colors, as if this mirror was rejecting all external objects.

Li Ang smiled and patted Alulu's shoulder. Xiao Niu smiled sweetly at him, took a step forward, raised his hands high, and caught the "silver mirror" with a smile.

It wasn't huge, about a meter in diameter, just enough to cover most of the girl's body. Given her strength, using such a large shield was dexterity rather than clumsiness.

The shield itself is a regular circle, and if you don't tell anyone, it would really be mistaken for a mirror.

Allulu's shining sapphire armor and her beauty are in perfect harmony with the style of this shield. Standing with the shield in hand, she looks like an ancient fairy guard from the legend of Newbiss.

"I call it the Round Mirror Shield." Leon and Alulu explained the power of this shield.

"Thank you, brother. I will cherish it." Alulu hugged the shield.

"Use the shield when necessary. Don't worry about it being damaged. The safety of you and your teammates is the most important thing."

"Uh-huh."

While watching Xiao Niu try out the new shield, Leon started to make things he thought were needed. For example, he made items for An Dasu's weapons, and for other people besides the four members of the Star Flower Brigade who he felt needed help.

The day finally ended. After a period of communication, the main members who were preparing to launch the rescue plan tomorrow left the Furnace of Creation and returned to the Shadow Shipyard.

Tomorrow will definitely be a day of fierce fighting. Everyone has something on their mind, and there is tension, worry and expectation. After all, no one knows whether this incident can be resolved smoothly.

A combat meeting was held in the shipyard square, and Leon and his companions talked for a long time in the common room before everyone went to rest.

346. Needing Others

"It's amazing that these transport vehicles that have been silent for who knows how long can still be started with full efficiency." Locke exclaimed.

After the workers cleared the passage and Leon restarted the track through Faser, the transport units piled outside the core area of the Furnace of Creation were dragged and placed back in place and started running on the track again.

The power of the Mechanical Furnace is transmitted through tracks made of magic metal. The transport vehicle is extremely fast and can achieve instant acceleration and emergency stop. Except for the lack of seats, it is already a high-quality high-speed passenger carriage.

The track circles around the huge mechanical furnace and leads to the end of each core tunnel. Once the track transportation is smooth, all the hostages in the seven shipyards can be rescued with the highest efficiency.

After finding other passages, based on the analysis of the Rudder City by everyone at the Shadow Shipyard, the shipyard corresponding to each passage was confirmed.

"Then the rescue operation begins."

Leon, Morales, Farina, Meimei and Meluna walked in the front. The three of them were the most powerful fighters on Leon's side and were considered "his own people". After rescuing the hostages, he had to immediately start the task of lurking in the Kongyan Shipyard to snatch the startup chip.

Before the formal attack is launched, this is a covert operation. The number of people should not be too large, but must be strong enough, so the people here are the participants.

The Order Knights followed behind. As representatives of the guild, they were the ones who cared most about whether the workers and their families could be rescued. This was determined by the philosophy that the Sky Knights Guild had always advocated.

Some of the remaining passages are similar to the one in the Shadow Shipyard, filled with silent golems and transport units, while others are empty and were probably not often used in ancient times.

The road leading to the Star Shipyard is very wide. Walking along it to the end, Leon opened the door with the rune given by Aqua.

The dull sound of the door opening was transmitted to the deep underground space behind the door. Li Ang had seen the location of this door from the outside before. After identifying the direction, he walked towards the room where the hostages of the Star Shipyard were.

Before I got close, I could vaguely hear some echoes. They were obviously sounds made by people. They must have heard the sound of the door opening, so there was a commotion.

Not long after, a group of people led by the factory director encountered Leon and his group. They were shocked at first, but after seeing Leon's face and the flower sword emblem on the Order Knight's armor, they showed a relieved expression as if "it's finally over".

“Thank you, thank you!”

Even though the factory director was considered a very knowledgeable person besides the Sky Knight, he still choked at this moment. When the news of their complete rescue was passed on to the others in the rear, those who had been instructed by Leon earlier did not dare to cheer loudly, but the sounds of suppressed joy, crying and excitement still merged into one.

Only after they calm down a little can we continue to inform them how the rescue work is going.

The shipyard executives were surprised to learn that the gate to the core tunnel had been opened, but they were relieved when they saw Locke's men.

Even if you were not an eyewitness to the split, you know that the Shadow Shipyard really exists in the world.

Over the years, the legends about Loken and others have changed several times. Some people may believe the stories that say they are demons or have incredible powers, so even if they don’t know the specific process, they can accept this reality.

The rescue went much more smoothly than expected. Most of the shipyard families were led by an Order Knight towards the Furnace of Creation. At the end of the passage, workers were waiting for them on transport vehicles.

These people will be taken to the Shadow Factory for temporary placement. Deep underground in the metal island of Rudder City is the safest place in the upcoming war.
