Holding a piece of Seism Steel in his hand, Fang Xingjian squeezed it gently. A faint glow that was hard to be seen by the naked eye was emitted between his fingers and the Seism Steel.
It was Fang Xingjian who had activated his Ether Effulgence Weapon and started to smelt the Seism Steel.
In the Ether Divine Art that Charlie had sent over, there was a method to smelt materials to speed up the formation of an Effulgence Weapon.
It was because most Effulgence Weapons would require a very long time to form if they were to be stacked up with ether. However, if one were to use materials that could adapt to the characteristics of an Effulgence Weapon, one would be able to absorb the essence of the materials into one's body and use it to assist in the formation of the Effulgence Weapon.
Fang Xingjian had smelted one percent of the essence from a hundred kilograms of Seism Steel. It should be enough for his High Frequency Effulgence Weapon to take shape.
The Seism Steel in Fang Xingjian's hands trembled at an extremely fast speed, and then with a loud bang, it broke into two.
Fang Xingjian frowned and said coldly, "There are too many impurities in this Seism Steel. This is not up to standard Seism Steel? How many other materials were added into it? " For example, the Seism Steel that Fang Xingjian had obtained in Kirst previously would not break due to tremors of such a degree.
The quality of this batch of Seism Steel was far from what he had imagined. If all ten pieces were like this, they would not be able to meet the requirements for him to smelt the High Frequency Effulgence Weapon.
"Erm …" That delivery man was stunned for a moment before saying, "I … I don't know. The higher-ups asked me to send this over."
Fang Xingjian laughed coldly as he took out the other pieces of Seism Steel. In the end, there were a total of ten pieces of Seism Steel, and each of them broke apart under his testing. There were even three pieces that turned into dust, without any Seism Steel in them at all.
"Very good. You guys are trying to deceive me?" Sword light flashed in Fang Xingjian's hand and the tip of the sword was pressed against the delivery man's neck. He asked, "What's going on? Has this batch of Seism Steel been swapped by someone? "
"I … I really don't know … I heard from the higher-ups that I was asked to send it over." The deliveryman was on the verge of tears. He said in horror, "I'll take you to see that officer. He's still in the city. He was the one who asked me to deliver it."
Fang Xingjian grabbed the man's head and whispered into his ear, "If I find out that you're lying, I'll dig out your heart and stuff it into your mouth."
In the next moment, a strong gust of wind blew, and Fang Xingjian had already grabbed the delivery man and rushed out.
The deliveryman let out a series of screams and flew out. The scenery around him changed rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it stopped. He had already arrived at the main road outside the academy.
A cold voice came out of Fang Xingjian's mouth, "Show me the way."
The delivery man panted heavily and raised his hand, pointing in the direction of Kirst City with a trembling finger.
The scenery in front of him changed rapidly again. Everything was retreating crazily, as if they were connected into a line.
A loud shout came from the academy's main gate, "Sir Fang Xingjian! You are not allowed to leave the school without permission! "
…
In the bar, two military officers had their legs crossed on the table, laughing out loud as if there was no one else around.
The people in the surroundings looked at their attire. They were wearing Knight attire on the inside and the Western Garrison's uniform on the outside. No one dared to look at them.
Seeing that the people in the surroundings were looking over, one of the military officers with a mustache threw a sideways glance at the people around him. The flush on his face seemed to become even more obvious as he scolded with the smell of alcohol in his breath, "What are you looking at? We're the ones who saved you. We're your benefactors. It's only because we're fighting for you outside that you bunch of sheep can hide in the city and live a carefree life. "
With that, he laughed out loud again, "Boss, more wine!"
The bar's style was not bad, and the people who came were all wealthy merchants and aristocrats. However, when they saw the two arrogant Knight military officers, no one dared to step forward.
The Empire's eight regions had a population of over one billion, but there were only 100,000 Knights and 5,000 Conferred Knights. Knights were the most privileged of all privileges, and that was the extent of their protection.
Hearing the mustached man's words, a man with a ponytail opposite him appeared a little gloomy. He said in a low voice, "If we were to be discovered after exchanging the top-grade Seism Steel for an inferior alloy and then selling it …"
"Sigh." The mustached man waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "It's not a big deal. If that Fang Xingjian was unscathed, I'd naturally keep my distance from him. However, he's just a blind man now. It'd be a waste for him to take the Seism Steel. "Moreover, with that pair of eyes of his, he probably won't be able to tell that the Seism Steel has been exchanged."
With that, he grinned, "Hehe, I heard that Miss Natalie is organizing a gathering tonight. How about it? Let's go together. The ladies there are really … Hehehehe. "
The man with the ponytail was still feeling a little uneasy, but there was nothing he could do.
The mustached man had accumulated a lot of gambling debts outside, and a few of them belonged to aristocrats who had Knights. This made it so that he had no way of not paying them back.
The ponytail man's daughter was seriously ill, and he had spent all his money on hiring a healing-type Knight to treat her. Compared to ordinary people, Knights were already very rare. Knights who could take on a healing-type occupation and had healing techniques were even rarer. There might not even be one in a hundred of them.
For such Knights to treat and save people, the price was naturally ridiculously high. Even experienced Knights like them would not be able to afford it.
Both of them were in urgent need of money, which was why they had taken the risk and exchanged the Seism Steel for Fang Xingjian's items, selling them for a huge sum of money.
Seeing the ponytail man's absent-minded look, the mustached man patted him on the shoulder and said, "Alright, don't worry. This amount of money is enough for us to enjoy ourselves for a while. As for Fang Xingjian, hehe, that blind man probably won't be able to find us."
He then imitated the way a blind man walked and said, "Look, he probably can't even get out of the academy's gates."
The ponytail man smiled helplessly and thought to himself, 'That's right. He's already blind. So what if he was a hero in the past? In the end, he's gone …'
Just then, a loud rumble rang out, and the tavern's door flew out, hitting the ground with a bang.
Everyone looked over and saw Fang Xingjian, who was dressed in long robes, walking in slowly. He was still carrying the delivery man, who was vomiting as he looked at the people in the tavern.
A slight breeze seemed to blow in the tavern, and some people subconsciously shivered, feeling as if the temperature had dropped.
Fang Xingjian looked at the tavern which had been sensed by his sword Qis and said coldly, "Who asked you to deliver the goods here?"
The delivery man vomited for a while, then pointed to the mustached man and the ponytail man with a trembling finger and said, "It's … it's the two of them."
At the same time, a manager of the tavern walked up and grinned at Fang Xingjian, saying, "Sir, this is the Cluster of Stars Tavern, a property of the Versailles Clan." He reminded him, "If you come here for a drink, we'll have a good time. But if you come here …"
"Long-winded. There's no end to it."
The manager's head was flicked lightly by Fang Xingjian's finger, and he was sent to a chair in the corner of the hall with great force.
Fang Xingjian's eyes were closed, but he was still looking in the direction of the ponytail man and the mustached man.
"Hand over the Seism Steel yourself, then break one of your arms and scram back."
Both the mustached man and the ponytail man felt a chill down their backs when they saw the other party looking in their direction, even though they knew that the other party was blind. It was as if sword light had pierced through their bodies. For a moment, they were intimidated by the other party's aura and did not have the courage to reply.
