Death God's Invincible Zanpakutō

Chapter 54 Breaking Down the Shadowless Sword Eggers
In the northwest of Grand Forest.

This is a dilapidated ruin with few people. It is said that it was destroyed by a fire that stretched across the Gran Forest a long time ago, leaving only some broken eaves and walls left here.

Beside a well-preserved stone house, a bird was standing quietly beside a broken stone pillar, with a note tied to its leg.

The door of the house opened, and a short old man with glasses in a black cloak grabbed the bird, took off the note and browsed it roughly, then shook his head slightly and tore up the note.

Just as he was about to turn around and go back to the house, a young man slowly walked out from a dead tree not far away. This young man was none other than Lin Ling who had been following him so far.

"Master Norton, it's not easy to find you."

As soon as the words fell, the old man with glasses froze for a moment, and ran away without even turning his head.

Seeing this, Lin Ling's face darkened slightly, and he quickly chased after him.

However, he was short in stature, and his running speed was far inferior to Lin Ling's. After a while, Lin Ling picked him up in the air.

"Be merciful, warrior! I didn't mean to dismantle your weapon on purpose, it was just a momentary operation error that led to that, please don't blame me!"

Lin Ling looked at Norton who kept begging for mercy with a strange expression, and then spoke slowly after a long while.

"You mistook Master Norton, this is the first time we have met."

Norton was stunned, and immediately took off his cloak and glanced at Lin Ling. Seeing that his face was very strange, he couldn't help asking in doubt.

"Then why are you looking for me? Alchemy? My mind is not on that right now."

After putting Norton back on the ground, Lin Ling saluted very politely, and then said.

"It's actually a good thing for you."

After finishing speaking, a white light flashed in Lin Ling's hand, and Wuying and Mingdao appeared in front of Norton.

"I would like to ask you to help me research these two weapons. Of course, it doesn't matter even if they are disassembled."

Seeing that Lin Ling handed over the weapons to him so generously, Norton felt a little guilty.

"Are you serious?"

"Ah."

"I've never seen someone like you. I've always been the one who yelled for others to hand over their weapons to me. It's good for you, but you took the initiative to send them to your door."

Lin Ling laughed.

"Looking at the entire continent of Arad, I don't think anyone can study it more thoroughly than you."

Norton nodded back.

"Okay, let's go into the room and talk, you scared me just now."

"OK."

Inside the stone house, Lin Ling couldn't help asking while visiting Norton's research room.

"By the way, why did you collude with Sherlock to cheat money?"

Norton, who was analyzing the material of the weapon, said in embarrassment when he heard this.

"This is also a helpless move. I have caused a lot of trouble in Hutton Mar before, and many adventurers wanted to find me, so they had to hide in this thundering ruin. It happened that Sherlock found me at that time and said that he would cooperate with me. Scam money, because I lacked money to buy research materials, I agreed.”

Lin Ling glanced at Norton angrily, intending to tell him that you will be the one who develops Terra Stone in the future, and you will play a pivotal role in promoting the development of the entire Arad!

After thinking about it, she finally held back. Looking at Norton, who was concentrating on his academic research, Lin Ling suddenly felt a little emotional.

Perhaps this is the great scientist. Compared with the strong man who has achieved great fame in the outside world, he is reported by the imperial column and attracts countless adventurers to follow suit.

And in the corner of this humble thundering ruin, a tiny scientist is trying to research a great invention that can be extended to the whole of Arad.

"Okay, the analysis is almost thorough. It is similar to what you explained before. The two forces cannot be combined. We can only disassemble it to see if we can extract the essence."

A few hours later, while Lin Ling was dozing off on the table, Norton suddenly spoke.

Hearing this, Lin Ling immediately woke up and turned around, walked to Norton's research bench, the look of reluctance in his eyes was fleeting, and then nodded lightly.

"Well, then it's up to you."

For Norton, these two weapons were the best two weapons he had encountered so far, and the research results they brought were absolutely extraordinary. He was also afraid that Lin Ling would suddenly regret it, but fortunately, Lin Ling did not stop him.

Hearing this, Norton led Lin Ling to a basement.

"This is the decomposition machine, it's so big."

In the basement, Lin Ling stared blankly at the giant disintegrator, which was about six or seven meters high and almost occupied half of the space.

"Hmph, besides me, how can anyone else create such a masterpiece."

Different from the impression in Lin Ling's mind, the decomposition machine in front of him is not only simple in shape, with several large chimneys inserted on the top of the furnace, but also many turntable handles waiting to be opened one by one.

According to Lin Ling's own estimate, this should be the first generation of decomposition machine.

Norton said with excitement on his face.

"The power of science is so great! Just put the weapon in it, and you can extract countless stones containing the essence of energy. I call them crystal blocks! Give these crystal blocks to magicians and blacksmiths, and you will be able to Make more powerful weapons!"

Lin Ling listened quietly, and was not in a hurry to interrupt Norton's speech. After a while, Norton couldn't wait to throw the shadowless sword into the furnace mouth of the decomposition machine.

With the sound of thump, thud, the decomposition machine started to operate, and Norton hurriedly stepped forward to manipulate the turntable and handle, and said to Lin Ling.

"You go up and wait for a while, this weapon is made of extraordinary materials, it may take a while to disassemble."

Lin Ling nodded in agreement, and then left the basement.

As soon as he returned to the stone house, as soon as the door opened, Sherlock's figure appeared in Lin Ling's eyes.

"Why are you! Where's Norton!?"

Sherlock, who had been waiting in the stronghold for a long time, never saw Lin Ling return. He had a premonition that something was wrong, and hurried to the stone house where Norton was, but he couldn't find anyone at all.

In a hurry, seeing the door suddenly opened, Sherlock was about to speak with a happy face, but it was the boy from before who appeared in front of him.

"Norton... I hid it."

A trace of undetectable treachery flashed in Lin Ling's eyes, and he spoke leisurely.

"What!? You hid him? You damned human, he is my precious partner, tell me, where did you hide him!"

Sherlock kept hitting the ground with his cane, and said extremely angrily.

But Lin Ling didn't even look at him, she looked around and whistled.

The old and cunning Sherlock narrowed his eyes slightly, and after calming down a little, he guessed what Lin Ling meant.

"Make an offer."

"Ten thousand gold coins."

"Ten thousand gold coins! Are you dreaming? Impossible!"

"Forget it, anyway, I don't care."

Sherlock gritted his teeth hard, knowing that this was Lin Ling's revenge for his previous actions.

"Eight thousand."

"[-], even less. You have cheated a lot of people, right? Compared with your reputation, a mere [-] gold coins is nothing to you."

"you!"

Sherlock, who was about to breathe fire in his eyes, even wanted to kill Lin Ling, but Norton was still in his hands. Under no choice, Sherlock pulled out his pocket and threw a large bag of gold coins in the Lin Ling said to him.

"There are at least 1 gold coins here. Hurry up and hand over Norton."

Lin Ling quickly put the gold coin in his arms with a smile, and said with a smile that could no longer be concealed from the corner of his mouth.

"Haha, don't worry, he will be back later, come, sit down and have a cup of tea to calm down."

As soon as this remark came out, the smart Sherlock immediately figured out that Lin Ling was deliberately deceiving him, and he couldn't hold back the anger that had been suffocating all this time, and fainted on the spot.
