Magic Tower Starry Sky

Chapter 489: box cut

"Have you ever heard of the Shakiri clan?"

Fen asked a simple rhetorical question, not only was he confused about the professional weapons business, but also surprised by the shop owner who knew the history of weapons; even Lin, the cross-traveler, was also surprised.

If there is one thing in common among the legends of heroes, stories of brave men, and king-builders in Midi, it must be the weapons they use, the magical weapons made by the Xiaqie clan. Even the weapons used by some gods or demons also come from the Shakiri family. The name of the box cut can be traced back to the battle of gods and demons before the birth of the old gods, as well as the battle of creation.

The meaning of the word "Xiaoqie" means that the weapon is so sharp that it will destroy the sheath or box it is stored in. The owner can only carry it in other ways, and cannot store it.

It was suddenly heard that the weapons of the Xiaqie clan will choose their owners, not everyone can hold them. This also reminded the shop owner: "In this way, the reason why the previous holders committed suicide was not because the weapons were cursed, but because they were not qualified to own the weapons of the Boxer Clan?"

Lin asked: "The so-called rumors that other than the designated person cannot be used, isn't that the literal meaning, 'unable to use'?"

"I thought so too. But it is true that in the rumors, there is no mention of what will happen to those who are not qualified to hold it. If it is suicide, it can indeed be explained that unrecognized people cannot use it."

As for the two magicians who came in by chance, they found out the origin of this 'cursed' weapon. The shopkeeper was not greedy at all. Instead, he started chatting and dealt with Lin. For him, a commodity that cannot be used has no value in buying or selling.

Although he can use the name of "Xiaqie" to sell this sword at a high price among certain special groups. But before, everyone was avoiding it for fear of not being able to, and dumped this trouble on their own hands. Families of suicide victims can only be grateful that I helped them out of their troubles.

And those who are attracted by the name of "Xiaqie" are either rich or noble. If this kind of person dies, this is the beginning of trouble. Maybe there is something that you can't afford to provoke.

Rather than looking for that kind of trouble, it is better to give away this 'good thing' according to the original conditions.

Unlike the shopkeeper's thinking, Lin is thinking about how to make weapons so that the two conditions of 'selecting users' and 'excluding those who are not suitable' can be achieved. He conceived several possible methods to himself. If it was a conditional curse, it would at most prevent those who do not meet the conditions from using the special ability of a certain item or weapon, but it would not allow the holder to 'suicide'.

And weapons or props use magician's means to generate consciousness, although it is not very difficult. Maybe that would be able to 'select', but how to make unqualified holders commit suicide? It's like two completely unrelated subjects being forced together. And other methods that someone could imagine were overthrown by him one by one.

Someone who has been unable to figure it out can only ask a certain lich in the end: "How can the people of the Shakiri clan be able to distinguish the qualifications of the holders? If it is to make every weapon have consciousness, then what is it?" How did you do it?"

But Fen said puzzledly: "A member of the Xiaqie family? Have you misunderstood something?"

"Misunderstanding? What do you mean?"

Fern picked up the strange weapon on the table with both hands, and said, "It is a member of the boxer family."

According to the words of a certain lich, the Shakiri family is not referring to the maker of this weapon, but to the weapon itself. So Lin pointed at the strangely shaped weapon and asked, "You mean, this weapon is actually a living thing?"

"Creature? Well, you can describe it like this. After all, it can grow, recover itself when damaged, and change its appearance according to the owner's ideas. These are not things that ordinary artifacts can do."

This kind of secret is undoubtedly quite shocking. However, Lin's acceptance was much higher than that of the owner of the weapon shop, and he quickly returned to his normal expression. After all, his own background was also beyond the scope of common sense.

He took the casket from Fen's hand and looked at it carefully. The touch on the hand is metallic and cold, without any of the biological characteristics of the earth, which are generally recognized for biology.

But those studies are extended based on carbon-based life, what about non-carbon-based organisms? What about AI artificial intelligence? Can human beings be so arrogant that they think that only things that are defined as living things by human beings can be regarded as having life?

: Boy, what are you thinking about?

A 'voice' suddenly flashed in my mind. Lin immediately understood the content, and looked at the box in his hand in astonishment. Is it talking to itself?

: I'm not talking to you, could it be that A Piao is talking to you? Huh, Piao? Well, you have this interesting concept in your mind.

This thing can actually read your own heart! Someone's first thought was, of course, to kill people and silence... destroy swords and silence. After all, there are too many secrets hidden in my heart.

: Do you want to destroy me, outsider? You can't do it. The only ones who can hurt me are my people. But you don't have to worry so much. Although I am not from the same place as you, I am not a native of this world...creature. Just use your words. And it's not that I can spy on your heart unlimitedly, only those thoughts will be seen by me when they appear in your cerebral cortex. It’s as if your first reaction just now was not to kill someone to silence you, but just a sentence, ‘I saw a ghost’.

"So, when I walked into this store just now, I noticed you. Did you actually call me?" Lin asked.

: Why should I call a human being as weak as you? If it wasn't for that demon king revealing my identity, I wouldn't bother to talk to you guys at all.

"You know her?"

: The calendar of this world, the demon king thousands of years ago, Finn Tikal. Of course I knew her, especially since she was assisted by many of my people against another group of my people. I was one of them then.

Someone turned around and asked a certain lich: "Have you ever gotten another box before?"

"Me? Yes, how do you know? Oh, you must be talking to it."

"Well, it said it recognized you. It's because you got a lot of boxes including it before, but you fought hard with others and ruined a lot."

Fern said with a look of nostalgia: "At that time, in order to fight against the guards of the old gods, I did collect a lot for my subordinates to use. There is no way to do this, the box cut is too hard, other than using other box cuts , There is no way to deal with it at all. So, is it intending to settle accounts when it mentions this? I really want to try it out, whether it can be cut with the Zhanjian Knife or not."

: Hmph, there is no weapon that I can't change. No matter what the Zhanjian Saber she said looks like, as long as it is the same shape, there is no possibility of failure for us and the Xiaqiri family.

A certain person didn't have any aversion to the nonsense about the weapon in his hand, but excitedly imagined the image of his ideal weapon in his mind, and asked happily, "Is there any way for you to change that look?"

:…no…

"Tsk, that's bad. It's just a GunBuster with a height of only 250 meters, and it doesn't require you to become an boss with a total length of 1,210 meters. The Gundom between nine and eleven meters How about the VOTOMS with a height of about three meters?"

: ...Excuse me, can you think of some 'hand-held' weapons, please?

"Hey! I thought that instead of climbing the technology tree, I could directly mount a giant robot." Someone curled his lips in disdain and said so. The evaluation of Xia Qie in my heart has already fallen below the pass line, hovering around the garbage score.

And a certain weapon is of course suspicious of Jiansheng. How does the word 'weapon' define this man?

Putting the legendary weapon back on the table in distaste, Lin asked Fen: "What are you going to do with this thing? Just the Zhanjian Saber has caused us quite a bit of trouble. But the box cut Even I know about the legendary weapons, those big people who like to use good things to set off their identities, won’t they come to trouble us for this?”

"The only person who can reveal that we have this kind of thing is..." While thinking about it, Fern cast his eyes on the owner of the weapon shop with someone.

How could this person who is familiar with the world not understand the purpose of this look. He quickly raised his hand as a gesture of surrender, and said: "His Majesty Tikal and His Excellency Tripwood are famous, how could I choose to trouble the two in a small shop. I will just listen to that kind of thing, and gain a lot of experience." , and then rotted in the stomach. How dare you spread it everywhere.”

When doing business, the first priority is the circulation of information. To be able to run a weapon shop in a bustling river port city, the owner is not a novice who knows nothing about other things except swords.

From the content of the two magicians' words and their appearance, it was easy for him to judge their identities. Especially the key word, 'Zhanjian Dao' is the most frequently discussed topic recently. The relevant background is naturally familiar.

Now that he knew the other party's identity, he had fewer options on how to deal with it. Especially betting that the other party is a counterfeit, and then finding a way to keep all the benefits... This is a life gamble. And according to your own judgment, the chance of losing is great.

Take a step back and think about it, if the other party is really a fake ~www.NovelMTL.com~ what do you lose? It is just a cursed weapon exchanged for a few Danba (copper coins). So the shopkeeper made his choice without hesitation, as if he had never seen this thing before. It is also in most of the more credible versions that these two are not bloodthirsty, so he can maintain this calm appearance, otherwise his legs would have been weak.

As for the attitude of the owner of the weapon shop, Fern didn't go any further, because the other party was just an insignificant person. On the contrary, it was someone's disgusting attitude that made her curious. Question: "Are you really not interested in this legendary weapon?"

"You also know that once I use the flash technique, all good things will have to be destroyed. If you don't want it either, let it be left to someone who is destined."

:Hey! I'm so bad, what if no one?

Although the item had already left his hands, the words of the boxer still surfaced in someone's mind.

Fen put his index finger to his lips, and said thoughtfully: "I remember hearing other boxers say that they come from a higher-level world, which is different from Midi. That's what I heard at the time, but now that I think about it, Maybe they actually come from one of the higher-dimensional worlds we understand. In this way, maybe it can resist high-dimensional pollution by itself, and doesn't need additional protection."

With this reminder, Lin suddenly grasped the box again, and asked directly: "Can you really travel through the dimensional space without injury?"

: Although I still don't know what exactly your so-called dimensional space refers to. But if it's the kind of storm related to World Tree, then I should have no problem. Because my family was brought here from other worlds by the World Tree.
