Although Rob had agreed to Lolo's request, Kenneth was a little worried. The Guard Captain knew better than anyone what kind of place the Dungeon was. He had gone down there twice when the Endless Forest Sea was first discovered. Of course, it wasn't to explore. The first time was to search for a young noble who had entered the Dungeon by mistake, and the second time was to investigate with Baron Oliver.
The terrible environment in the Dungeon was still fresh in Mr. Knight's memory. Any small mistake could cost you your life. Even if you were highly skilled in martial arts, you could still lose your life in some small incidents. Back then, there were 26 well-trained guards in the Rescue Team. Everyone looked out for each other, but only 17 of them managed to return to the surface. Nine of them were left in eternal slumber in the Dungeon, and many of them were good fighters.
Of course, the Dungeon hadn't been explored yet, so everyone knew nothing about the number of monsters and the distribution of traps. With the arrival of the first batch of Brave Adventurers, the corresponding intelligence gradually increased. This was the precious information that countless adventurers had exchanged with their lives, and it effectively reduced the number of casualties.
Even so, the Dungeon was still a dangerous place, especially for a powerless' historian 'like the young man.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you," Lolo said confidently as she unsheathed the longsword at her waist.
The longsword didn't look very eye-catching when it was hidden in its scabbard, but it was unexpectedly sharp. The silver blade shone brightly under the starlight, and one could tell that it was no ordinary weapon.
Kenneth noticed a line of indistinct words on the sword and was shocked. "An Elven Sword?"
This was different from the inferior goods on the streets that were labeled as "Elven Forged". This was a famous sword made by a true master. Once it was unsheathed, it would give off a feeling of fear. During a battle, it could even affect the opponent's emotions, causing fear to grow in their hearts.
Dwarves were generally recognized as the best at forging weapons in the Dawn Continent. They were born to be blacksmiths, and it was as if they were born to wield hammers and bellows. As long as you could provide them with high-quality ores, they would never let you down. Many famous weapons in history were forged by dwarves.
Humans ranked second. There was a certain gap between humans' blacksmithing skills and dwarves'. Before the Second Magic War, human warriors' longswords were often broken by dwarves' machetes and hammers. It wasn't until the invention of weapon enchantment technology that this gap was made up to a certain extent.
Since the time of Roland, humans had been looking for ways to combine magic with weapons, hoping that even ordinary people could enjoy the benefits of magic. Unfortunately, most of the known metals on the Dawn Continent were not sensitive to magic elements, which was why there were no so-called 'heavy armor mages'. Even the most common longswords and daggers were rarely worn by mages, as it would greatly affect their spellcasting.
Later, mages decided to change their way of thinking and no longer hoped to transform metal weapons into magic devices. Instead, they tried to use methods similar to magic arrays to enhance the performance of weapons. During the Second Magic War, enchantment technology was invented. Enchanted weapons were lighter and sharper, and they wouldn't age with time, saving money on maintenance. However, due to the cost, it couldn't be popularized on a large scale.
Compared to dwarves and humans, elves mainly used longbows as their weapons. Almost all elves were skilled archers. Due to the lack of mineral resources in their settlements (it was said that the elves' settlements were actually rich in mineral reserves, but to protect the ecological environment, they were unwilling to mine them on a large scale), metal weapons were mostly imported. Elves were born with mysophobia, and they couldn't stand getting dirty while forging. However, this didn't mean that there weren't any master blacksmiths among the elves.
The elves used a very special method to forge weapons. During the forging process, they would add a rare material called moonlight, which came from a type of silver beetle in the forest near Uradir. It was a jelly-like substance ground from the shells of these little guys, which could greatly increase the flexibility and other performance of weapons. Moreover, the forged weapons would emit a faint glow under the moonlight. In addition, the elves would also use the Spring of Life to temper their weapons, greatly increasing their ability to resist extreme environments and unleashing their power in cold or hot places.
True Elven swords had extremely high smelting standards, and were produced very rarely. Every sword had its own unique name, and was the ultimate equipment that countless people dreamed of.
And now, such a precious weapon was held in the hands of a rookie, The Brave. It was no wonder that the Guard Captain couldn't help but exclaim.
On the other hand, Rob's expression was much calmer. No matter how powerful the Elven swords were, they couldn't compare to the staff that he always carried with him. The staff named Lord of the Eternal Night was half a level stronger than the famous Eye of the Stars in Demain's hands. It was a true legendary equipment, a super equipment that even a 9th grade profession would covet.
The future Supreme Magus, Your Honor, sighed in his heart. If the Lord of the Eternal Night was still here, he could single-handedly conquer at least six floors of the dungeon. At that depth, any junk he picked up along the way could be sold for hundreds or even thousands of gold coins, and he wouldn't have to worry about money like he did now.
Lolo sheathed her sword again. "I'll go buy the necessary supplies for the expedition in the morning. We'll meet at the Mercenary Guild in the afternoon, and we can leave at dusk. The dungeon is about three days away from here. If we're lucky, we can reach there by the afternoon of the third day."
"Alright." Rob nodded.
From this moment onwards, the quasi-magus Your Honor officially became the follower of the rookie, The Brave.
If news of this were to spread, no one would believe it. A low-level hero that could be found everywhere had a high-level mage as his follower. Even a bard who loved to brag would not be able to come up with such a ridiculous arrangement.
Not to mention that Rob had a series of titles that were enough to scare people to death.
However, this also showed that Lolo was indeed a girl with a big heart. From the beginning to the end, she didn't even ask Rob what he did for a living. Well, even if she did ask, Rob wouldn't tell the truth.
