The Face Changing Warrior

Chapter 203 The Legendary Scimitar

Roddy's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the Baron Gadal in front of him again.

Of course, Rui Jinfang's big name Roddy knew that after spending such a long time in the military, he did not understand the relationship between Rui Jinfang and the military.

Although this empire's famous business family is not obvious in the political field, its real influence is quite significant... Almost half of the empire's garrison equipment and weapons are purchased from this family.

Their shops are almost everywhere in the empire. The imperial decree is special, except for professional soldiers or those with the title of samurai, civilians are not allowed to carry weapons. However, almost one-third of the weapons used by the warriors in the empire were purchased from Ruijinfang. Even when Roddy was in the Imperial Academy, the only long sword was in Ruijin. I bought it from the shop in the square!

The most important thing is that the imperial military buys a large amount of weapons and equipment from Ruijinfang every year. Almost half of the garrison military uses weapons from Ruijinfang, even many northern and northwestern legions are the same!

It is impossible to achieve this kind of business without any real power!

Roddy frowned slightly: "Baron Gadal, I don't know what you do according to me?"

Baron Gadal glanced at Nicole, owed him, and whispered: "Lord Roddy, can we sit down and talk slowly? Miss Nicole, you shouldn't mind letting Lord Roddy leave for a while."

The two said as they walked, they randomly found a place with a barbecue rack and sat down. Baron Gadal seemed to be quite a city, but he smiled casually, not in a hurry to speak.

At this moment, Roddy no longer has the kind of impatience he used to be-after the war, Roddy's biggest transformation at this moment is the word "stable"!

He smiled steadily, and handed over a leather pouch containing water at random. After watching Gadal drank two sips of water, he spoke again without rush: "Your Excellency Baron Gadal, what do you want me to do? "

Gadar smiled and said: "Your Excellency Roddy... In this holy war, you are the youngest imperial hero in your majesty’s commendation order! Unfortunately, I was unfortunately not in the imperial capital at the time. Xiqiu is only dealing with some family shops, so I took the liberty to come here today just to visit you and express my admiration for you!"

Roddy just smiled, did not speak, and waited quietly for the other party to continue.

Gadal continued to laugh: "You know, our family’s business has always been closely related to the military of the empire, and myself, I really like to meet some military heroes, and the empire’s military stars like you If I can't make friends, it would be a great regret for me personally!"

Roddy smiled faintly: "Your Excellency, you are too polite. I am just a small column commander of the Royal Guards, and I am no more than a viscount in terms of title. I belong to a large imperial business family like Your Excellency. Favor, make me flattered!"

Gadal shook his head and said loudly: "A hero is born! Your Excellency Roddy has made his mark in the military at a young age, and his future must be limitless... I, Gadal, will not be wrong."

Roddy glanced at the other person and whispered: "You are welcome."

Gadal smiled slightly, and said that he held up a long and narrow thing wrapped in layers of brocade cloth, and said with a smile: "The so-called sword gift to heroes, our family sells weapons, there is nothing good. This soldier The blade is not bad. It is my honour to see Lord Roddy today. Please accept this gift!"

Roddy looked at the thing the other party handed over, did not reach out to pick it up, just shook his head and said: "Your Excellency Gadal, I don't understand that. I'm just a little viscount. You came to see me so specially. I was surprised and gave me a gift, which makes no sense."

Gadal did not refute, but peeled off the layers of brocade to reveal the contents.

This is a machete!

The shape looks exactly the same as the scimitar used by Thor's Whip Spike, but apart from the shape, the others are quite different!

The scabbard did not know what kind of leather it was made of, it looked extremely thick, and the leather also showed a prismatic **** texture, with a somewhat crude meaning.

Gadal showed some pride in his eyes, and said lightly: "This scimitar is a gift from me...The scabbard is made from the skin of a peculiar fish that is a specialty of the southwestern empire. This fish is huge and full of size. It is a few meters long and powerful, and it can even swallow a steed with its mouth open! Leather is also extremely tough, and it is difficult to enter a sword! This scabbard alone is the top-quality one in a thousand!"

Having said that, he slowly pulled out the scimitar, held it in his hand and swiped it twice. He moved lightly, but the scimitar in his hand made a "buzzing" faint resonance.

The blade of that scimitar was as cold as a stream of autumn water, and it was cold. On the blade, I don't know how to carve out a strange style of writing vertically, crooked, with a somewhat strange meaning. In the wave, it seemed to flash a weird light.

"This knife is made from a very special and rare cold iron ore. This cold iron ore is known as a gem of iron. Usually, it is rare to dig out such a little bit of cold iron from tens of thousands of tons of iron ore... Of course, these cold iron ore Although iron is rare in iron ore, it is only a mortal thing. Weapons created can cut gold and jade, and cut iron like mud, but it is not a true god. However, the spells on this are powerful. It's..."

Having said this, Gardal lowered his voice and said in a low voice: "With this line of spells above, this scimitar is almost comparable to ordinary artifacts!"

Hearing these words, Roddy couldn't help but raised his eyebrows, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Roddy’s reaction was seen by Gadal. He seemed very satisfied with Roddy’s reaction. He looked around and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency Roddy, this line of text on this scimitar... is Dragon language!"

"Longyu?"

"Yes!" Gadal whispered: "Dragon language! Dragons are powerful creatures born with superior magical powers. The dragon language above is a magic spell. With this kind of dragon magic blessing, this machete It truly became a magic weapon!"

Roddy took a deep breath, looked at Gardal vigilantly, and whispered: "Dragon's magic? This kind of thing doesn't seem to be available in Guangming Continent..."

Gadal faintly smiled, and there seemed to be a bit of pride in his smile: "Our family's business spreads across the Bright Continent, and naturally has some penetration into the northern Roland Continent. This machete was also accidentally obtained by our family in the northern Roland Continent! This one! The machete has a history of many years. According to legend, it is the work of a famous swordsmith in Roland mainland more than 100 years ago! The swordsmith himself is also a great magician. I don’t know how he got it from The dragons learned the dragon language and carved this dragon magic spell on the scimitar! You are looking at the handle..."

After speaking, he opened his palm to reveal the hilt of the knife.

Roddy only glanced, a strange look flashed in his eyes...

This hilt...Why does this hilt resemble the light-concentrating sword of the original? ?

Of course, this hilt is still different from the hilt of the original light-concentrating sword, but it is only the difference in material. But it looks very similar!

The handle seems to be made of a kind of transparent crystal. The whole body is transparent, and the end of the handle is inlaid with a red gem-but the gem is a little weird red, Roddy can see at a glance, except The size and size of this gem is exactly the same as the gem on the hilt of the concentrating sword that I used at the beginning!

Roddy, the light-concentrating sword, is naturally very familiar-and Roddy knows the special nature of this gem. The beauty of the light-concentrating sword lies in the gem of the hilt, which can transmit the warrior's fighting spirit to the blade through this gem, thereby turning the fragile light-concentrating sword into a sharp weapon! !

According to Dandong's notes, this gem is purely a special "energy conversion" effect!

Seeing the weird gaze in Roddy's eyes, Gadal thought that the opponent was moved by this scimitar, smiled slightly, and said, "Your Excellency Roddy, I just said that this scimitar is only suitable for heroes like you. You own it, please do it!"

Roddy didn't move, but there was a thoughtful expression on his face-the light concentrating sword was obviously a strange weapon made by Dandong. But the jewel on the hilt of this machete... It is almost certain that this machete must have the same magical usefulness as the concentrating sword.

But how did Dandong's casting method appear in Roland? ?

Gadal saw that the other party refused to answer, and then smiled: "Your Excellency Roddy, do you have any questions?"

Roddy took a breath and said solemnly: "Your Excellency Gadal, this gift is too expensive for me to accept."

Gadal shook his head and said: "I sincerely just want to make friends with an empire hero like you. To be honest, this scimitar is just a beautiful ornament in my hand. It has no use at all. I think it's only Only in the hands of a hero like you can it play its true role!"

Roddy's heart moved, and a weird smile appeared on his face: "The real effect?"

Gadal smiled bitterly, shook his head, and whispered: "I'm not afraid of you laughing when you say it. Although this machete is magical in the legend, after I got it, I found that it didn't seem to be of much use-of course, it is indeed It is extremely sharp, and ordinary swords and it will break immediately. But in the legend, this scimitar is much more powerful, and can even split mountain peaks...Of course, the Roland people have always liked to tout their magic, I It's probably just some unfounded legend. So, you must not think that it is too expensive to accept..."

Roddy hesitated for a moment, then smiled: "Can I see it?"

"Of course!" Gadal immediately put the machete into Roddy's hand.

Roddy held the knife in one hand, stretched out the other hand, and flicked lightly on the knife with his fingers. With a "buzz", the scimitar let out a low groan, which was low and continuous, a bit strange.

Roddy raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't know how to use this knife?"

Gadar saw that the other party had already held the knife in his hand, and smiled: "Yes, not just me. Even if this knife is in the Roland mainland, it has changed several owners over the past 100 years, and each one is Excellent knight, but this knife has never been as powerful in the hands of those people. It's just an ordinary sharp weapon. Of course, it's just more gorgeous in appearance."

He smiled lightly, and said lightly: "This knife, after all, is made by cold iron. I just think it is a pity that it is in my hands. It's better to be in the hands of an empire hero like you. Let it play. The role is better. You are in the army, in battle, a sharp weapon will bring you a lot of convenience."

Roddy smiled slightly, but secretly calculated in his heart: This Baron Gadal was obviously here to flatter himself-no matter what he was. It is a very clever move that he only gave gifts to himself but gave him a knife.

Giving gold coins and treasures is a low-level practice. And according to his status as a soldier and samurai, it is undoubtedly very smart to give a sharp and valuable weapon-this person knows the psychology of others well!

Speaking of this knife, the other party also said that it is not too expensive. Although it is magical in the legend, it is actually just an ordinary sharp weapon to use. Although the weapon of cold iron is very expensive , But it is not too rare, at least many rich and noble families have such cold iron weapons. The value ranges from a few thousand gold coins to tens of thousands of gold coins. Although it is very valuable in the eyes of ordinary people, it is nothing in the eyes of real big people.

Although this knife carries a bit of an evil legend, it only adds a bit of mystery-the only special thing is that the real use of this knife is probably not known to the other party. Roddy couldn't help laughing in his heart. If the other party knew the true use of this knife, would he give it away?

Roddy naturally would not accept gifts from others for no reason. He naturally knew that there was always a plan for others to give him something for no reason-but this machete really made him curious, especially the gem on the handle. ...Is it another weapon like the Condenser? ?

When it comes to Dandong, Roddy has to pay attention.

Everyone and everything he came into contact with, as long as it involved the old man in the legend, which one is not weird? Among other things, Andy's old skeleton is alive there!

Putting aside the illusory and ethereal legends of this scimitar, a cold iron weapon is worth tens of thousands of gold coins, and it is not too expensive. Let's see what the other party says next...

Roddy thought of this, smiled lightly, placed the scimitar slowly in front of him, and whispered: "Your Excellency Gadal, you came to see me so far and gave me such a gift...I It’s a person who doesn’t like going around in circles, please explain your intentions!"

Gadar saw that the other party didn't refuse his gift, but just put the scimitar in front of him, and he felt a little better in his heart.

He smiled slowly-with a moustache under his nose, this smile looked a little sly.

With a calm expression on his face, Gadal slowly said: "Your Excellency Roddy, you are still serving as an officer in the Royal Guards...According to your strength, just serving as an officer seems a bit wrong. May I ask if you Interested in changing places..."

Roddy smiled, his eyes fixed on Gadar's face.

Gadar looked at the side and lowered his voice: "For example... the Military Affairs Department?"

Military Affairs Department?

Roddy smiled secretly in his heart, it seems that the other party was sent by the old fellow of Marquis Caroline to win him.

Thinking of this, Roddy couldn’t help but feel a little bored. After the award ceremony that day, Roddy gradually heard some rumors and understood the intention and consequences of Old Skeleton’s words... Bastard ? It's really hard for it to come up with such an outrageous idea! !

Now Caroline, the old fox, seemed to really think he was the **** of that old skeleton, so he rushed to win him. It seems that he also knows that it is impossible for the Lionheart family to compete with the Tulip family.

The emperor now clearly favors the Tulip family, so the old marquis has no choice but to work on his illegitimate son—maybe, the illegitimate son will be the future emperor. After all, the emperor has no sons, and the seat of the crown prince is still empty.

It's a mess!

Roddy shook his head and smiled weirdly.

Gadal looked at Roddy quietly, although he didn't understand what the weird smile on the other party's face meant, but fortunately, the other party immediately rejected him without an exit.

After waiting for a while, Gadal slowly said again: "Your Excellency Roddy, what do you mean?"

Roddy thought for a while and laughed: "Baron Gardal, you came to me with the entrustment of the Marquis Caroline... But, as the Minister of Military Affairs of the Empire, the Marquis Caroline has a very high status. Fancy a small person like me... I really dare not accept your gift."

How clever is Gadal, he immediately smiled: "Your Excellency Roddy, Lord Marquis really appreciates you very much, but...hehe, because of some special reasons, he can't express it directly to you, and I just suffer from him. I am entrusted to see you..."

Roddy nodded.

This is right. With the cleverness of the Marquis of Caroline, since he recognized that he was the emperor's illegitimate child, he would definitely not dare to directly contact him. After all, he was also afraid of the emperor's suspicion.

It's just... it's just that I am not a **** **** at all! !

Thinking of this, Roddy was a little bit dumbfounded, but this kind of thing is not easy to say clearly, shook his head, and said: "I understand your kindness, but I am very happy in the Royal Guards, and I dare not accept the kindness of the Secretary of Military Affairs. . But I am very grateful for his appreciation, please take my words back."

Roddy knew very well what attention the Marquis of Caroline played!

I want to draw myself into his line-even though I am the emperor's illegitimate child in everyone's mind, then he is a bargaining chip with great potential in the future. Only by holding this bargaining chip before the real appreciation can it truly benefit!

As the Minister of Military Affairs, the Marquis Caroline, if he finds a way to transfer himself to the Military Affairs Department, he will naturally have a way out-in fact, he does not need to come forward in person, as long as he secretly asks some of his cronies to handle it. Although he is only the Minister of Military Affairs, and the transfer of personnel within the military is not under his management, but he has been in the military for so many years, is there no way out? Among other things, isn't Milo already in the military command headquarters now?

Moreover, he has identified himself as the emperor’s illegitimate son, and must also think that transferring himself to the position of a high-ranking official in the Military Affairs Department, this kind of appreciation for the emperor’s son, the emperor will be happy to agree...

It's a mess... It's a mess...

When Gadal heard Roddy's refusal, he didn't seem to be surprised-in fact Roddy's thinking was simple.

Before coming, the Marquis of Caroline had already confessed to him. This time, if the other party rejects his proposal, it does not matter.

After all, people are "the emperor's illegitimate son." It is not uncommon for the other party to have a high-ranking official position. The important thing is to make a stance of drawing together-to leave a good impression on the other party, and to establish a preliminary harmonious relationship to achieve the goal!

As for the scimitar-an empire family, does it still care about a knife?

Gifts don’t have to be expensive. In fact, it is impossible for a person in this position to give any expensive gifts to really impress others-mainly to do what they like!

Surely a young samurai wouldn't refuse a beautiful and sharp weapon.

Gadar smiled and said, "Since your Excellency is unwilling, it doesn't matter... It's just that Lord Marquis sincerely invites you. After you return to the imperial capital, you must go to the Marquis Mansion for a reward." He looked at Roddy as if With the intention of handing the knife over, he quickly said: "It's just that you must take this scimitar!"

Roddy smiled without saying much, and put the scimitar down.

In fact, he didn't mean to return the scimitar to the other party-this scimitar is a bit weird, but you have to study it later, maybe after returning to the imperial capital, he will have to talk to Andy about it. It's a secret.

At least the Marquis of Caroline didn't guess wrong.

For people like Roddy, he doesn't see anything precious and valuable. But a magic weapon can move his heart.

The two chatted a few more words at random. Roddy behaved tepidly and insidiously. That calmness was entirely the natural and natural temperament that was honed on the battlefield before, but in Gadal's eyes, it was different. : He affirmed the gaze of Marquis Caroline more and more.

People with this calm and calm temperament are definitely not ordinary people! !

The place where they were sitting was on the edge of the temporary camp. As they were talking, they suddenly heard a sharp exclaim from the lake.

The exclamation was full of fear and surprise, and it was clearly a woman's voice!

"Ah!!!" That exclaiming has turned into a scream, Roddy's face changed slightly, and before Gadal could react, Roddy had rushed out like an arrow!
