Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 705 36. I can only give you a cool and handsome sword that can cut people but not shine

  Muradin used his forging skills to successfully knock a stroke from the smelly pirate.

There are very few legendary blacksmiths in this world, and even fewer have the ability to complete the forging work alone. If Black doesn't look for him, he can only go to the Dark Iron Emperor Thaurissan, or to Quel'Thalas to find those legends Magic Blacksmith in .

   The rewards to be paid by the two parties are obviously higher, and the pirates dare not hand over the work to those guys. Therefore, after entering the forge of the Great Elementalist Krishik, the dwarven warriors were rewarded with a small crate of Elementium Steel.

   What he got was a small box of semi-finished products that were first purified.

   It's not that the pirates are stingy and don't want to give the finished product, but the finished product will solidify once it is formed, and it must be smelted and prepared during forging. This exotic metal has peculiar properties that make it difficult to adjust once it's been forged.

   This reward makes the dwarves very satisfied.

   He said that if you want to forge the armor, you must not use all the source steel, that is too extravagant. Moreover, the forged armor cannot guide magic, which will greatly reduce the value of the armor.

   For a skilled blacksmith like him, it is clear that excellent weapons and armors are doped with different metals to achieve different effects. But Muradin clearly underestimated how difficult it would be for pirates to find the weapons he forged.

   After seeing the blueprint of the legendary battle crossbow "Crow Guard", the dwarves finally understood the reason why Black was so generous.

   This life is too hard.

  Muradin frowned almost the whole time. After reading the design drawing that was so complicated that it broke the watch, he used his thick fingers to point on the metal parts of the design drawing and said:

   "Each battle crossbow counts the bow arm, spring and trigger, as well as self-winding and magic components that apply penetration and power, a total of seventeen parts.

  You want two crossbows, which adds up to thirty-four.

  Each one needs to be forged and formed in one piece. Heck, it will take you at least ten days to complete these parts for you! "

   The dwarf grabbed the wine next to him, took a sip, and complained to the pirates:

   "I feel like I'm really at a loss if I only need a small box of source steel."

   "It's too late, my friend, the rewards are all given, so we can't change our minds temporarily, right?"

  Black laughed like the fox who stole the chicken.

   He coughed and put the weapons that he needed to strengthen, one by one, in front of the dwarf.

   Jump Cleaver Longsword, Defiler Shard Dagger, two Shadow Moonblades for ranged projection, and the Moonlight Armor that was previously modified in Dalaran.

   In addition to these, Black also took out a drawing and some processed black dragon claws.

   His stuff piled up on the workbench in front of Muradin and said:

   "Let's steel the weapon first, I'll be using it in a few days.

   Component Forge of Raven Guard You can take your time. Also, these dragon claws are also steel plated, I need to keep them strong but have the ability to penetrate all armor. "

   "This drawing is interesting."

  Muradin took the picture and looked at it before his eyes. He stroked his beautiful beard and said to Black:

"This looks like some kind of engineering thing, it should be designed by gnomes, but it seems to have been improved by others, I heard that the uncrowned assassins under your command have a special weapon, that is your faction logo .

   is called 'hidden sword'.

Is    this thing? "

   "Well, that's it."

  Black touched his wrist and said:

   "I originally had a pair of Longya Hidden Swords, but it was a pity that they were snatched by a nasty woman. Ahem, I gave it to her.

   I've been wanting to recreate a pair of Hidden Blades.

   But because of my current status as a rising tide, I definitely can’t just make do with some stuff, so I have been collecting materials until now before starting work.

   This is just a gadget for you, right? "

   "Well, it's not that hard to just plated steel."

  Muradin did not hide his powerful forging skills, the legendary dwarf warrior said boldly:

   "Give me enough wine, and a few more strong guys to fight, and the plated steel will be strengthened in four days. However, if you want to speed up the time"

"boom"

  The pirate made a gesture, and the cunning goblin Krishik, who was standing next to him, winked and presented a small box of Elementium Ore and placed it in front of the dwarf.

   "Fine! Atmospheric!"

   Muradin laughed and gave Black a thumbs up.

   Quickly put the box of ore into his luggage, then took out his luxurious set of full epic forging tools, rolled up his sleeves, took off his hood, and was ready to start work.

   "Wait, don't worry, there's still a big head."

  Black stopped the dwarf who was about to start construction. He looked left and right, took out a roll of drawings he drew from his luggage, and spread it out in front of the dwarf.

   It is a two-handed epee with an exaggerated and atmospheric shape, which is the style of the legendary weapon of the Holy Light in Blake's memory. In the original timeline, it would not appear until thirteen years later.

   "The shape of this sword is a bit strange, but the destructive power of this single-edged machete style in battle must be brutal."

   Muradin glanced at the blueprint and understood the function of the sword.

But what puzzled him was the moon-shaped groove above the blade of the war sword. He discerned this strange design carefully. After a few seconds, in the fire from the burning forge around him, he raised his head and said to Black. :

   "Are you going to put some special things on this sword? For example, some magic gems and the like, this kind of forging method is not commonly used by dwarves.

   Usually the elves will design this way, but we will do this too.

   But I said, if you use Elementium Steel to forge it, then in order for this weapon to have magical properties, you need a very high level of magic materials.

   Ordinary magic crystals can't support it to exert its real power. "

   "I said it all, I'm ready."

  The pirate took out the dark Atama crystal wrapped in shadows from his luggage. The moment the crystal was completely polluted by the dark power, a dark cold wind blew in the entire scorching forge.

   made Muradin, who was very close, shudder.

   "Is this enough?"

Black, who wrapped his fingertips with shadow magic to protect himself from being hurt by shadows, handed the crystal to Muradin. He asked a question, but the dwarf did not answer immediately.

   Muradin looked at the dark crystal in front of him with a cautious and unusual gaze.

   After a few seconds, he reached out and touched the surface of the crystal.

"what!"

  The legendary warrior suddenly let out a pained sound, jumped up from the spot with a slap of his fingers, literally jumped into the air two meters high, and then spun his body and fell down.

   As if his fingers were bitten by some evil thing, he shook his fingers fiercely and shouted:

   "Keep this evil thing away! No, this job can't be done!"

   This is really not the dwarves asking for a price.

   But he has already realized the danger of this life. He looked at his thick and powerful fingers. Before touching this dark thing just now, the fingertips had turned black as if they were corroded.

  Fortunately, the dwarf warrior has a lightning-like reflex speed, so he immediately retracted his fingers when he sensed something was wrong, otherwise his entire palm would suffer.

   "This thing is terrifyingly corrosive to life force, and that's not my excuse, Blake."

   Muradin took a cautious step back, a little further away from the dark gem in the hands of the pirates, he said solemnly:

   "I admit that it is powerful enough to be used to drive the weapon you desire, and I also know that if you can take it out, it means that it can be smelted with metal.

   But the real problem is that I can't even touch it, how can I forge it? "

   The dwarf shook his head and said:

   "It's not a question of skill anymore, Blake, I really can't do this job, and I'm not humble, but please be smart."

   "Don't worry, I just let you judge whether its quality is good enough."

  The pirate shook his head and stopped the dwarf prince who was about to quit. He stroked the dark Atama crystal wrapped in shadows in his hand, and he said:

   "As long as you think it can be used, I will find a way to purify it now. Haven't you heard a word? The brightest light can only be born in the deepest darkness.

   Look at how terrifying and terrifying this baby is now, and how shocking the holiness and purification it can bloom when it is purified. "

  Black glanced at Muradin's expression, he coughed, and said:

   "I know you don't believe it, I know you dwarves are stubborn, and I also know that you Muradin Bronzebeard has always claimed to be a righteous partner, and most dislikes us evil fellows who walk in the dark.

  I don't want to argue either.

  I know you are worried that I will start a carnage or a terrible war with the weapons you forged, don't worry, my friend. "

  The smelly pirate put the pot of fine wine in his hand into the hesitant Muradin's hand, he patted the dwarf on the shoulder and said:

   "Look, a guy like me really wants to do bad things, don't they still lack a dark weapon? Well, you know me, you know me.

   With my image in your eyes, do you really think that I will stir up the world just because of a weapon? "

"You can!"

   The dwarf said something very disrespectful.

   He glared at Blake, rubbed his fingers, and said angrily:

   "You're right, I do have this concern. Especially when I see the dark gem in your hands, I'm worried that its dark power will wash away the world.

   But I also take your word for it.

  I'll do other work for you here first, and if you can purify this gem before I finish, I'll help you forge that sword.

   This is what I promise you, and I will definitely do it, the Bronzebeards never break their promises! "

   "That's good! This is the good dwarf in my mind."

  Black nodded in satisfaction.

   He turned to leave, but was stopped by Muradin, and the dwarf said to him with a serious expression:

   "There is one more thing I must tell you in advance.

   I have never seen something as powerful as this dark crystal in your hand. According to my years of forging experience, weapons made with such crystals and materials such as Originium Steel are absolutely amazing.

   But this power comes at a price. "

   "The price?"

  The pirate asked suspiciously:

   "I know there is a price to pay for wrongdoing, but the price of weapons. Could it still jump up and slash me?"

   "No no no, that's not what I meant!"

   The dwarf waved his hands and said:

   "I mean, there's a price to pay for a weapon like this, do you understand? A gem like this might not have a will of its own, but it must have been ripped from a more powerful creature.

   It has its own power preferences.

   If it is as holy as you say, then it is not suitable to use it with your strength attribute, and the effect it can exert is naturally limited.”

   Having said this, Muradin hesitated.

   In line with the professional ethics of a blacksmith, although he was reluctant, he still suggested:

"Instead of purifying it into something sacred that you can hardly use, let it continue in this dark form. I just saw that you can touch it with your hands without getting burned, which proves that you can use its dark form .

   does not need to be made into a sword.

  I can make it into a staff for you, don't you have the help of the spellcasters from Nar'Thalas Academy? They must be pretty good at this. "

   "Staff?"

  Blake pouted, stretched out his hand and took out the Sinner's Spine from his luggage. As soon as the evil bone sickle appeared, the screams of the soul surrounded the pirate.

The    purple soul fragments scattered and fluttered, and the dwarf watched with wide-eyed.

   "With this dark artifact of the warlock, do I still need a staff?"

  The pirate held the scythe in his hand, threw the dark crystal in his hand, and said to the dwarf:

   "I appreciate your advice, my friend Muradin. But you have to understand that getting this crystal was out of my plan and it was the icing on the cake for me.

   It's great to have it in hand.

   But it doesn't affect my setup without it.

  I need you to forge it into a sacred weapon, because in the confrontation between darkness and darkness, a great sword of light that can blind people will definitely make those reptiles in the dark scream in horror."

   Having said this, the pirate laughed and said with his hips on his back:

   "I can't wait to see those **** stunned by me. Rest assured, I will use it properly and plan a future 'career' for it.

  You are busy with your work, I am going to be busy too. "

After he finished speaking, Black hummed the untuned pirate song, carried his hands on his back, and left the forge leisurely. Muradin watched him leave, shrugged his shoulders, turned around and took a gulp of wine, and began to touch the forging hammer start work.

  Forging iron is not a burden to him.

   This is full of strength and passion, sparks are flying, and it belongs to men's activities, which always makes people feel good.

   On the other side, the pirate left the forge, took out the dark red crystal ball, injected magic power, and a few seconds later, the old lich's bad face that the whole world owed him money appeared in front of him.

   "Something to say!"

  Merry Winter Wind said something cold.

   Black snorted and said:

   "Didn't you say you want to purify the kingslayer dagger? Did you borrow the holy hammer?"

   "Khadgar and the Grand Knights of Dathohan are doing this."

   Lich said:

   "It is said that the results have been seen."

   "Very good, then help me purify something by the way."

  Black grinned, made a sledgehammer strike, and said:

   "It's very simple, let our handsome boy Khadgar lift the holy hammer and smash my baby a few times before the big knight is not paying attention.

  Be sure to cover up in advance, the scene when this thing is purified is estimated to be huge.

  I don't want to be summoned by Pope Fao to be scolded again, you know, after the Gilneas thing, my relationship with him is very bad."
