Quadruple split

【exist】.

This answer resounded directly in Mo Tan's head, just like when he used the Unparalleled Ax and the Thorn of Everlasting Sorrow before, but the voice was a female voice that didn't sound very emotional, but it couldn't be called indifferent.

Mo Tan was silent for a long time before he realized that the other party seemed to be answering his original question - 'Are you there? ’

【Hello】.

The young female voice who should be staying in the ruthless sword added after a moment. Of course, this 'young' has no reference value, although this pleasant female voice sounds like she is around twenty-three or four years old, which is better than using the unparalleled axe. The voice at that time was younger, older than the voice that taught Mo Tan how to find Wang Ba Dan. However, since 'she' appeared in this form, it was obviously impossible to test her age by normal means.

Mo Tan pondered for a moment and did not continue to speak. Instead, he patiently looked at the unattractive, even ugly long sword on the metal stand in front of him, intending to listen to what she had to say first.

And the latter did not stop abruptly, but kept giving him answers with a steady delay of about half a minute——

[Here, no problem, no need to change places. 】

[I...react slowly. 】

[Change it to an axe, he is suitable for communication. 】

…

After saying these three sentences, the voice in Mo Tan's mind fell silent, but he knew very well that the other party was still 'awake', just 'standby'.

So, after a brief deliberation, he nodded, said a simple thank you, then stood up and pressed his right hand on the hilt of the sword, transforming it into a pair of equally ugly but powerful giant axes. After all, time was tight for the task. Zhong, if possible, he still wants to figure things out as soon as possible.

And Akatsuki in the form of 'Unparalleled Axe' did not disappoint him. Almost at the moment when the form transformation was completed, the broken gong voice that first appeared in Mo Tan's mind not long ago sounded.

[Have you finished teaching that turtle son of yours? Anyway, let me just say that the knife can help you find it! 】

The loud voice shocked Mo Tan, and the rough voice sounded very proud.

"First of all, that bastard is not my son, I am just his guardian."

Mo Tan first asked for an explanation for his genes with a serious face, then coughed slightly, nodded slightly and said: "To be precise, it's from the Thorn of Everlasting Sorrow... Well, that senior taught me how to find that bastard. Helping me directly is even more appreciated.”

[Pfft hahaha, hahahahahaha, senior, you actually called that little brat senior, you are so damn funny that I laughed to death, tsk tsk, but this is not completely wrong, even though she is really just a brat. . 】

Inexplicably, the rough voice burst into laughter, but it was not traceable. After all, the voice Mo Tan heard when using the Thorn of Everlasting Sorrow was indeed very childish and a standard child's voice.

But this is not what Mo Tan wants to understand immediately. What he wants to know is actually...

[You must have a lot of questions about this weapon and us, right? But such a conversation is too inefficient and too troublesome. Let's do this. If conditions permit, you quickly put your hand on my ax, then relax completely, and don't resist no matter what happens. 】

The rough voice gave the instruction directly without even consulting Mo Tan.

If the person standing here is a normal indigenous NPC, then he will most likely be very vigilant, and most likely will not follow suit. After all, there are many objects with evil power and will in this world. After all, no one knows this place. Could there be a demon, lich, or something else sealed inside? It could also be the medium of some evil god, and the possibility of being killed, absorbed, or taken away is extremely high.

This situation will be less severe for ordinary players, but given that the death of a character in the Innocence is extremely costly, veterans who have been harmed by various incidents will be more cautious, and they will have to take action no matter what happens. It's rare for someone to just go up to you without saying anything.

But Mo Tan is different. Although he is in the 'Lawful Good' state at this moment, he does not have the strong resonance ability as when he was the 'Black Brahma', but at the moment he is very sharp and accurate in intuition. After all, girls have the sixth sense, so after not feeling any malice from the figure in the unparalleled axe, they just did it without hesitation.

He stood up directly and pressed his right hands on the handles of the two tomahawks. He took two deep breaths on the spot, putting himself in a completely defenseless state and nodded slightly: "Okay."

"Okay, then open your eyes."

The voice sounding nearby said this in a hehe voice.

"Open your eyes? I'm not...huh?"

Mo Tan, who didn't notice at all when he closed his eyes, was startled, and then quickly opened his eyes. He was shocked to find that he had unknowingly arrived at a completely unfamiliar place with the Seventh Outer Mountain. The underground delta measurement area has nothing to do with it.

This is a huge dark space similar to a stalactite grotto, and the place where Motan is located is a black stone platform with a radius of about ten meters and the whole body is made of some kind of marble.

In the center of the stone platform, directly in front of him, there was a circular groove, in which was surging the only light source in this place, some kind of red-red liquid that seemed to be extremely hot. It was something similar to magma, but far away. It is a substance that is not as viscous as magma, but in the center of this substance stands a huge black cauldron. It is about three meters in length, with a total of nine chains wrapped around it, extending to each part of this dim space. direction.

And at the top of the giant cauldron, there floated a pair of silhouette-like black giant axes.

No, it's actually a dark dagger.

Wait, if you look closely, it looks like a halberd that is exuding a fierce aura all the time.

Mo Tan rubbed his eyes, looked up again and looked at the long sword floating quietly above the giant cauldron with occasional flashes of silver light on the hilt, and said softly: "Is this [Xiao]?"

"I don't know what this is, but I think you're right."

A familiar broken gong voice sounded behind Mo Tan, and he said happily: "This thing should be regarded as a medium? Or something with similar properties. Although it should be a metal itself, it is not the kind that needs to be smelted. Low-grade stuff, okay, I admit it is in a 'smelted' state all the time, but it doesn't even need a blacksmith, ugh, can you understand the frustration?"

Mo Tan turned around and shook his head honestly: "Maybe I don't quite understand."

"I think so. Although you do have the potential to become an excellent craftsman, it is just potential. It is normal to not understand it."

The dwarf man, who was definitely tall and mighty among his kind, smacked his lips, took out a wine bag from his arms, took a sip, and showed a wide smile to Mo Tan: "But that doesn't matter, come on. Come on, sit down and talk, let’s have a good chat.”

After saying that, he sat on the stone platform and took a few sips of the wine bag, which was obviously very different in workmanship from the current era. He burped loudly and was very intoxicated. Narrowed his eyes.

"good."

Mo Tan also sat down cross-legged and looked carefully at the dwarf man in front of him. The latter looked about forty years old, with dark complexion and a strong build. He wore a set of heavy plate armor that was dilapidated but powerful. His slightly red pupils and brown unibrow make his face look a bit ferocious, but perhaps because of his informal and generous temperament, this ferociousness does not form a negative impression, but gives people a A sense of openness and forthrightness.

In addition, there is the master's demeanor in this man. Just sitting here, this dwarf man who has a close relationship with Wushuang Ax gives Mo Tan a feeling of invulnerability. That is what he can only do when facing Tianzhu Mountain. It was a hazy feeling that only Darien, the head of the Diesel family, had.

It is a kind of "intuition" that can only be produced when the fighting talent is strong enough to a certain extent. It is also a quality that "Tan Mo" and "Hei Fan" in the Innocence Realm do not have, and only Mo Tan under his current personality has it.

"Huh? You're not afraid, are you?"

Mo Tan's figure subconsciously stiffened as if he had caught it. The dwarf man sitting opposite him blinked in surprise, and then suddenly burst out laughing inexplicably: "Haha, hahahaha, don't worry, I won't hurt you. Yes, and I don’t have the ability to hurt you.”

Mo Tan touched the tip of his nose awkwardly, shook his head and said, "I didn't think about it that way. It was just a subconscious reaction."

"A very good reaction. After all, your current level is too low and not worthy of your potential."

The dwarf nodded without surprise, and then raised the wine bag in his hand to greet Mo Tan: "If you want, you can call me Axe. Although I should have a name, I don't know how long I have forgotten it. , that guy Shan Po kept calling us this and that Po for the sake of convenience, and over time we got used to it."

"Axe..."

Mo Tan nodded slightly and asked thoughtfully: "So you are really related to [Wushuang Ax], right?"

"Of course it does matter. After all, it was my first and last axe."

The dwarf who called himself the Ax Soul licked his chapped lips, looked up at [Xiao] who had turned into a pair of axes on the giant cauldron at some point, and said with great nostalgia: "Although I have become like this now , it has also been eroded into this virtue, but we are still the best couple without a doubt."

Mo Tan nodded silently. He had a strong feeling that if the dwarf in front of him was allowed to hold the pair of [Unparalleled Axes], even if his strength was exactly the same as his own or even worse, Wang Badan might not have a chance to enter. Its stealth state has been tempered in many dangerous situations, but it will be easily knocked over in the first round and unable to get up.

"Can you tell me a little bit about [Akatsuki] and 'you'?"

Mo Tan knew that although the ax soul in front of him seemed carefree and straightforward, he was by no means the kind of brainless idiot, so he didn't beat around the bush, but said bluntly: "I'm very curious."

Ax Soul smacked his lips and looked up and down Mo Tan with great interest. After a long time, he shrugged and said, "I know you are curious, and I have no intention of hiding it. It's a pity that I don't know much about it myself." , I’m afraid there’s no way to completely satisfy you.”

"It doesn't matter."

Mo Tan smiled very gently, shook his head and said, "It's better than not understanding anything at all."

"Well, in that case, I'll just tell you something that might be of interest to you."

Ax Soul put away his wine bag, held his chin and muttered: "First of all, I want to explain that I... and everyone including that little dagger, are indeed staying in this dagger you call Among the things for [Akatsuki], to be more precise, they are lodged in weapons that are connected by the medium of [Akatsuki]. In my words, as you know, they are Rift Wind and Li Huo, that is, the pair of The master of the Peerless Ax, the former master.”

Mo Tan, who was very good at being a listener, nodded slightly and did not mean to interrupt the other party. He just calmly digested what the other party said.

"We don't know how long we have been here. I think it should be a very long time. But for a long time, to be precise, from I don't know how long ago until just now, we have been in a state of confusion. , it feels like...a dream."

Ax Soul tapped his head lightly and frowned: "I can feel my existence, and so can others. We even occasionally communicate and talk about something, but it all feels very ambiguous. It’s unclear, it’s as chaotic as drinking too much strong alcohol. I can hardly remember any details. I only know that I wandered in this place day after day, like a walking zombie.”

Mo Tan nodded slightly. Obviously, this was the reason why Ax Soul just said that there were many things that he himself didn't even know.

"Those days lasted for a long time, until recently, we found that our consciousness is gradually becoming clearer. I should be regarded as one of the few people who are lagging behind in terms of sobriety."

Ax Soul shrugged, and suddenly smiled and asked Mo Tan a question: "Do you know who wakes up the fastest?"

Mo Tan was stunned for a moment, but quickly gave the answer: "Ruthless Sword?"

"That's right, it's the sword spirit that resides in the ruthless sword."

Ax Soul nodded with satisfaction, raised his eyebrows and said, "It can be seen that you prefer long swords that are flattering to women than real men's weapons."

Mo Tan smiled awkwardly, but he also heard that the other party was joking, so he didn't explain anything in a superfluous way.

"until one day."

Ax Soul also brought the topic back after teasing him casually, and said seriously: "Inexplicably, we all woke up."

"Are you all awake?"

"That's right, I just completely got out of the chaotic state that lasted for who knows how long, and I regained my consciousness after a long time."

"Because?"

"This mountain...is not simple."
