Chapter 266 The Old Mage's Thank You Gift

"arms……"

Zhong Ye's eyes lit up. Ever since he traveled to this world, he has never gotten a weapon in his hand.

German two-handed swords and horizontal knives are not the weapons he is good at. In fact, what he is best at are spears and seedling knives.

But considering that he will go out for adventure in the future, and it is easy to carry, he is more inclined to Miao Dao.

He has a seedling knife at home on the earth, named "Dream in the Pool", which was borrowed by the military from the space agency's manufacturing plant and made for him with the highest strength titanium alloy. It is extremely handy to use and cuts iron like mud .

Except when he's out, he maintains 'Dream in the Pool' every five days—even though the knife doesn't really need that much maintenance.

"The blade is like a seedling. The total length should be about 1.6 meters, and the handle should account for two-fifths of the total length..."

Speaking of 'weapon', Zhong Ye seemed to be a different person, showing great enthusiasm.

Not only was he talking endlessly, but he also asked Earl Fleury for a pen and paper, drew a schematic diagram, and wrote various detailed data of the weapon on the schematic diagram.

The drawings were circulated among the old people. Looking at the diagrams and data on the drawings, the old sorcerer and his colleagues fell silent.

They sat in a circle with the drawings on the table between them.

There is no verbal communication between these old people, they are all thinking, and there is only eye contact.

The young woman leaning on Earl Fleury's chair couldn't help but glanced at the drawings on the table, and then fell into deep thought.

Of all the people present, only Lilian looked confused, not quite understanding why the situation became like this.

It wasn't until someone in the barrage began to popularize the birth and development history of 'Miao Dao' that she began to have a little understanding of Zhong Ye's fanaticism.

"Is there such a weapon in Dongtu?" Lilian asked in a low voice.

Then, she got a positive answer from the Dongtu District players in the audience.

The time of Westland and Eastland developed at the same time. Westland has begun to use steam engines on a large scale, so Eastland should have entered the Qing Dynasty, but because the area north of the Great Wall to the kingdom of elves has been occupied by the abyss since more than 200 years ago, it is now ruled Dongtu is an empire named 'Huang'.

The audience didn't quite understand why Lilian asked such a question. The Miao Dao is one of the representative weapons in the Chinese martial arts world today, and it is also one of the weapons that Earth Zhong Ye is good at. Why didn't Illusion Company make this weapon into the game?

Turning her attention away from the bullet screen, Lilian heard an old man asking Zhong Ye: "Your Excellency Zhong... Ye, if I guess right, this weapon should be used as a 'knife' as well. It can play part of the effect of the gun, so, don't you think '1.6 meters' is a bit too short for your height?"

Hearing this, Zhong Ye shook his head and smiled: "After all, I am an adventurer, and what I need is a weapon that can be used in most situations. Therefore, 1.6 meters is enough."

The Miao Dao he designed is a bit shorter than 'Moonlight', but for him as an adventurer, this length is more sufficient.

As an adventurer, he needs to think more about 'flexibility'.

"……I see."

The old mage let out a foul breath, turned to look at Lilian, and asked with a smile, "So little girl, what kind of weapon do you want?"

"I?"

Lilian was stunned for a moment, and somehow the topic turned to herself.

"Of course," the old mage nodded, "The reason why I invited you here this time is naturally not because I want to help you on a blind date. Forging a weapon for your teacher is a thank you gift, but it's not enough to pay you back." For his kindness in saving my life, so building a weapon for his student, that is, you, can make me feel at ease."

Lilian opened her mouth slightly, turned her head to look at Zhong Ye, and asked with her eyes if she could agree.

"I think Lilian, you also need a good weapon."

What surprised Lilian was that Zhong Ye didn't refuse.

He nodded to Lilian quite seriously, and said, "As my student, you will encounter more difficult enemies in the future. A good weapon will enable you to deal with powerful enemies better."

As Zhong Ye's voice fell, the bullet screen exploded like a tsunami, filling Lilian's field of vision in an instant.

Now most of the players are still struggling at the bottom. They have neither money nor the ability to obtain extraordinary equipment. The players who have obtained extraordinary equipment are all because of good luck.

Although Lilian is not a top player now, she can be considered a first-class player. If she gets another extraordinary weapon, she might be able to directly squeeze into the ranks of top players.

Although Lilian felt that she should be more reserved, the temptation of a good weapon was hard to resist.

However, she herself didn't know much about weapons and other things, except knowing how to use them, she basically didn't know anything else, so she could only ask Zhong Ye for help.

"Lilian is using a light sword."

Saying that, Zhong Ye pulled out Lilian's saber, and under the light, the blade reflected a cold light.

After Zhong Ye grasped the light sword, Earl Fleury stared, turned his head slightly, and looked at the young woman standing beside him.

"For a one-handed sword, the blade-to-hilt ratio is six to one. Because she is better at picking, stabbing, and cutting, the weight of the sword head is heavier, accounting for about one-fifth of the total weight."

The eyes of the young woman standing beside Earl Fleury slowly widened, and she couldn't help but take a deeper breath.

"Is this enough?" Zhong Ye looked up at the old people.

Several old people looked at each other, Earl Fleury also broke free from his distress, and sighed softly.

"Please ask Miss Lilian to use it." The old man in ordinary clothes and holding a pipe said.

Lilian took the light sword from Zhong Ye, turned her head and looked around, "Is it right here?"

The owner of the mansion, Earl Fleury, nodded and said, "It's fine here, but please be careful not to hurt others."

Lilian stood up nervously. Just as she was about to step up and leave the seat, she saw Zhong Ye pointing at her mouth and nose. She immediately reacted, took a few deep breaths, and activated the [breath adjustment] state.

Standing upright in a nearby open space, Lilian put one hand behind her back and raised the light sword horizontally with the other. She remained silent for a few seconds before acting suddenly.

The light sword stabbed out one after another, like cold stars, pleasing to the eye, but exuding a coldness.

Earl Fleury watched for a while, then turned to look at the young woman beside him, and found that she was not looking at Lilian, but at Zhong Ye.

"It's so rude."

Earl Fleury reminded in a low voice dissatisfied, and the young woman came back to her senses and looked at Lilian hastily.

The young people in the hall are all paying attention to that corner. The owner of the mansion and the protagonist of this blind date are there, so they can't help but pay attention.

Seeing Lilian waving the light sword, the ignorant person let out a low chuckle, but the person who had practiced martial arts frowned slightly.

This girl's swordsmanship is very strong!

Watching Lilian practice a whole set of sword skills, Earl Fleury and other old people applauded. Even the old mage saw the splendor of it—even though he was a legendary mage, he was also a legendary mage. Nobles, who have practiced swordsmanship since childhood and are fond of weapons and equipment, otherwise, how could they become pen pals with these old men from the Gaul kingdom?
Lilian panted lightly, put the sword back into its sheath, walked back to her seat and sat down, and became the obedient look before.

At this time, Earl Fleury winked at the old mage. At first, the old mage didn't quite understand, but when he turned his head and saw the expression on the face of the main character of the blind date meeting and the person she was following, he immediately understood.

"Ahem!"

The old mage cleared his throat, "Your Excellency Zhong Ye, I remember you still have things to do, don't you?"

Although the excuse is clumsy, it has to be said that it is a good excuse.

The corner of Zhong Ye's mouth raised slightly, and he nodded, "Yes, I do have some things to do, please forgive me for leaving first."

He had noticed that slightly fiery gaze a long time ago, and it was a bit embarrassing, so he just had an excuse to leave.

However, after Zhong Ye and the others left, Earl Fleury found that his granddaughter hadn't looked back, so he couldn't help coughing to remind him.

Then, the fourth princess of the Gaul Kingdom reluctantly looked away.
