To the northwest of Satin City was a hilly land. At the end of the horizon, one could see a lonely mountain range. The mountain range was winding, and the mountain peaks intersected to form a valley. That was the famous Dead Valley of the Empire. The Dead Valley was covered in thick fog all year round. From the sky, the valley was almost shrouded in a grayish-white fog. One could only vaguely see some sporadic shadows.
There was only one highway between the Dead Valley and Satin City. No one remembered the original name of the highway. People only knew that this road was called the starting point of death. This was a very appropriate name. After the empire opened the Blood King's Cemetery, the death rate in the Dead Valley had remained high. Once he stepped onto the road to the Dead Valley, he would undoubtedly be standing at the starting point of death.
Even so, countless adventurers still flocked to the Blood King's Cemetery every year, using their blood and even their lives in exchange for every step they took into the Blood King's Cemetery. There was a very famous saying in the Blood King's Cemetery: Whether you are a brave or a coward, only those who survive to the end are the true victors.
This was the most common sentence on the lips of every adventurer who went to the Blood King's Cemetery. As long as you returned, regardless of whether you had any gains in the cemetery, you could become a hero in your own circle.
Through the starting point of death, he arrived at the Dead Valley. One would discover that the Hell Mountain where the cemetery was located was surrounded by a circle of barracks. Every adventurer who entered the Blood King's Cemetery had to pass through this barracks. This was the Jingjiao Deer Legion of the Emerald Bucks Army. It was led by Iron King Gangde, a Level 27 general, and was responsible for monitoring the Blood King's Cemetery. The army that guarded and monitored the cemetery changed every three years, and this year was the last year of the Jingjiao Deer Army Town guarding the cemetery.
After passing through the camp of the Jingjiao Deer Army, one would see the entrance to the Blood King's Cemetery from Hell Mountain. Nowadays, the first ten floors of the Blood King's Cemetery had become public places, especially the first to fifth floors. These floors were the supply points provided by the empire for adventurers. At the same time, there were all kinds of shops, blacksmiths, auction houses, and other places that served adventurers. In addition, there was also an imperial field hospital on the first floor of the cemetery. Unfortunately, since the opening of this hospital, the death rate in the cemetery had not decreased much.
After all, adventurers had already entered the cemetery below the tenth floor to explore. Once dangerous situations appeared in those unknown areas, they would often be fatal. Very few injured people would be able to return to the first floor to enter the field hospital for treatment.
As for the sixth floor of the cemetery, it was where the offices of the Adventurer's Association, the large mercenary group that was stationed in the cemetery, and the Ancient Ruins Investigation Association were located. of Generally speaking, people could freely enter and exit the first six floors of the graveyard, but from the seventh floor onwards, unauthorized people were prohibited from entering.
Seven to ten of the ten of the Tomb of Mountain of the empire of The adventurers who wanted to go to the bottom cemetery still needed to pass through a specific passage when passing through these floors. If they entered the research site of the investigation committee at will, they might be interrogated or even arrested by the Thorn-Horned Deer Army.
Mountain... King.. At night, of the of of the of of the of the entrance. In. in. in. Wang.. Every muscle in the man's body trembled regularly under the light of the fire. The sweat all over his body seemed to paint him with a layer of oil. Every movement of his was filled with masculinity and the beauty of strength.
When he struck the last hammer, sparks sprayed out from the furnace and landed on the man's body, causing green smoke to rise. The man put down the hammer and pliers and picked up a pottery cup beside him to drink water. He raised the cup and found that there was not a drop of water in it. He shrugged his shoulders and was about to fill a glass of ale when he heard footsteps coming from outside the door. Then a timid voice asked, "Excuse me, is this Mr. Luo Wen's blacksmith shop?"
The man put down the pottery cup, turned around and said coldly, "I am Luo Wen."
There was a young man and woman standing at the door. Judging from their attire, both of them were warriors. The slight difference was that the young woman was also carrying a fire and gun on her back. The one who asked the question was the woman. Hearing this, her face lit up and she said to her companion, "Look, I told you this must be Mr. Luo Wen's iron shop."
The man named Luo Wen frowned and asked, "What do you want? It's so late, I'm not taking any business. "
The male warrior's face was filled with disappointment, while the woman begged, "Mr. Luo Wen, please help us. We're going to join the expedition organized by the Reaper Mercenary Corps tomorrow, but not long ago, my friend's sword was broken. Please help him repair it. We'll pay you enough. "
Luo Wen smiled playfully, "Pay me enough money? How much do you have? I want a thousand gold coins. Can you afford it? "
He saw that the armor on their bodies was mostly painted and damaged. The gun on the woman's back was wrapped in cloth strips. Their clothes were practical and simple. He had seen too many adventurers like this. Most of them were newcomers or unlucky fellows. Judging from their situation, they should belong to the latter. Since he wasn't doing well, he naturally wouldn't be able to take out a thousand gold coins.
Sure enough, the male warrior's face immediately turned red. He pulled his female companion and said, "Let's go. He's clearly extorting us. I can buy a better weapon for a thousand gold coins! "
The woman shook her head and said sincerely to Luo Wen, "Sir, we've heard of you. You were once a warrior, weren't you? I think you can understand that every weapon is the most precious companion to a warrior. The sword in his hand had been with him for seven years, and it was very important to him. If we had a thousand gold coins on hand, he would be willing to give it to you. But we don't have it now. Can you please give it a discount? We only have about two hundred gold coins. That's all we have. "
"Two hundred gold coins?" Luo Wen smiled. He narrowed his eyes and said, "How about this, I don't want the money. If you're willing to give me that gun on my back, I'll help your friend fix his weapon. How about it? "
"No." The male warrior shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's go somewhere else."
"Listen to me." The woman smiled faintly, "There's no better master here than Mr. Luo Wen. Since he wants this gun, I'll give it to him. "Then she said to Luo Wen," I agree with your proposal. "
Luo Wen nodded and waved his hand, "Then come in and show me the sword."
The woman handed the gun on her back to Luo Wen first. When she placed it in Luo Wen's hand, her eyes were filled with reluctance. The man sighed and handed a sword to Luo Wen. Luo Wen pulled it out. Sure enough, there was only half of the sword left, and the broken surface was covered in fine lines. Luo Wen examined it carefully and said, "It's quite damaged. If you want, I can give you a new sword. I guarantee it's better than this one. Your sword, to put it bluntly, has no value in repairing it. Even if it is repaired, the quality will not be as good as before, not to mention that this is not a good sword. "
The male warrior seemed to deliberately make things difficult for Luo Wen and said, "I want this one!"
Luo Wen shook his head and said, "Whatever you want." However, young people, although people had to have their own principles, if they insisted on their principles too much, it would be stubborn. That gun is quite precious to your companion, right? You could have traded it for a better sword. But because of your stubbornness, you will only get a sword of worse quality than before. That would be a waste of this young lady's painstaking efforts. "
The man was stunned. He looked at his female companion and lowered his head. "Thank you for your guidance. Then listen to Mr. Luo Wen. Give me a better sword, please. As for her gun. As for her gun, I hope I can leave it with you for the time being. I will redeem it for a thousand gold coins! "
Luo Wen did not answer and went straight into the room. A moment later, he brought out a sword. The style of the sword was very ordinary, but after the male warrior tried it, he felt that the weight of the sword was moderate and very easy to use. The blade of the sword flowed with a flame-like luster under the furnace fire, and the material was much higher than his original one. While the male warrior was testing the sword, Luo Wen handed the gun to the woman and said, "Since you cherish it, don't hand it over so easily. You know, sometimes once you lose it, you can't get it back. "
The woman was stunned and said, "That thousand gold coins …"
'"Forget it, I don't lack this bit of money. Besides, the sword in that kid's hand was originally customized by a guest. However, that guest went to the cemetery on the eleventh floor and never came back. If you give it to your companion, you can make it work. "Luo Wen yawned and said," Alright, you can leave now. I'm going to close the door and rest. "
"Excuse me …"
Just as the two adventurers were about to say goodbye, a few cries of alarm sounded from outside the iron shop, followed by a series of beast roars. The expressions of the three people in the iron shop changed when they heard this. Luo Wen ran out just as a man hurriedly ran past his iron shop. Luo Wen grabbed him and asked, "What happened?"
The man pointed behind him and said in a trembling voice, "It's the Red Wolves. They're coming. They're coming!"
Then he broke free from Luo Wen's hand and shouted as he ran, "Not good, the Red Wolves are coming. They're coming …"
Luo Wen looked at the shadows at the entrance to the seventh floor. He could feel that something was staring at him. Then, a shadow shot out from the shadows. Its running posture was filled with savagery as it pounced straight at Luo Wen, who was by the door of the iron shop. The man shouted and rolled into the iron shop. The thing pounced into the air and stopped spinning on the ground. Then, it pressed down on its center of gravity and slowly walked towards the iron shop.
The fire in the iron shop shone on its body, and one could see that it was a wolf-type exotic beast the size of a calf. There was no hair on his body, only a red mane grew from his head to his back. The monster's head had four eyes, fangs all over, and the long tongue that spat out from its mouth was also covered in retractable spikes. Its four claws dug into the ground and drooled as it looked at the few people in the iron shop.
