Lord Witch, please don't resurrect me again!

Anvil took the shield with one hand and said, "Okay, I'll check the material first, and then decide how to repair it..."

Unexpectedly, after taking a look, the dwarf immediately changed his expression and said, "Boss, is this the first time you give me such a big job? I... To be honest, I'm a little scared."

ah?Fear?

What is the name of this broken shield?

Chapter 190: Know the Shame and Be Courageous

Leoric asked the anvil dwarf curiously, "Is there any explanation for this thing?"

The anvil said: "Boss, this is very telling!" He picked up a shield with his thick one arm, put it under the setting sun and stared at it, "This material is called lava iron wood, which is made of a kind of iron wood that grows in lava fields. Composed of trees, it will be very strong after tempering and processing, and it is extremely resistant to high temperatures. Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a dragon slaying warrior who used a shield of lava iron and wood to block the dragon's breath, thus successfully slaying the dragon."

Fuck, so hung up?No wonder I couldn't cut it with so much effort.

Leoric hurriedly asked the dwarf to repair the shield. The dwarf said that this job is difficult, mainly because the heat needs to be controlled during smelting. He needs to go to a quiet contracted space to complete it, which takes about two hours, but if it is messed up, I also hope that the boss will not blame. If you have better blacksmiths in your family, it is best to invite them.

The best blacksmith of the Northern Expedition was Captain Shi En of the Hammer Regiment. This guy was skilled, but probably not as good as this one-armed dwarf.But based on the principle of respect, Leoric decided to ask him.However, before Leoric passed by, Captain Shi En with the thick arm came back with the dwarf sword he had just given him, and said loudly: "General, General Leoric! May I ask who made this sword?" , can I see him?" With that said, the big man ran up to Leoric.

Leoric pouted his chin and said, "Low your head."

As soon as Shi En lowered his head, he saw the dwarf. He was startled and said, "I'm sorry I almost stepped on your head! This..."

Holding the dwarf's sword in both hands, he said, "Master, is this your work?"

Anvil said: "It's not really a work, it's just something for practice."

Shi En exclaimed, bowed his head immediately, and said, "Master, please accept me as my apprentice!"

Shi En was a blacksmith before he joined the army, and he also liked to study various weapons. Later, General Akkad saw that he was a talent, so he was recruited into the Northern Expedition Army.There's nothing else in this guy's life but blacksmithing, crazy blacksmithing!Swinging a sledgehammer all the year round made his right arm a lot thicker than his left.Shi En's dream is to equip the Northern Expedition with the best weapons in the world, and personally forge a weapon capable of slaying dragons and gods. It can be said that he is a simple, honest and idealistic person.

Iron Anvil already wanted to accept apprentices, and seeing Shi En's sincere apprenticeship, he was very surprised.But he still looked at Leoric first, and asked him what he meant with his eyes. Leoric nodded, and he immediately said: "Okay, you will be my apprentice from now on!"

Shi En didn't expect the apprenticeship to be so smooth, thank you so much, and said that after the battle, you must make up the apprenticeship ceremony and banquet, but Anvil waved his hand and said, "As long as you can pass on my skills, it will be fine." , One more person is one person.”

What Iron Anvil said was just casually, but Leoric heard some clues from it, thinking: There is a trace of sadness in this dwarf's tone, and he said that "one more person is one person", combined with his previous Say, is there a story here?

Leoric kept an eye out, and when the battle was over, he must ask what was going on.

As for "Does Shi En understand lava black wood?", there is no need to ask.

Afterwards, Anvil went to the contract space to repair the shield. Shi En heard that the master was going in to repair the shield, so he wanted to observe the master's craftsmanship. He saw the rough man bowed his head politely, and asked cautiously: "Master, can I repair the shield?" Do you want to go in and take a look? Not too much, just a glance."

Teachers and apprentices in the highlands would hide their secrets, and the atmosphere was very bad, so Shi En was very afraid that Master Anvil would not teach him.However, Anvil said with a puzzled look: "Why did you only take a look? Don't you sincerely want to learn my skills?"

Upon hearing this, Shi En said quickly: "No, I'm afraid of offending you... Ah, please let me take a good look at it!"

"go!"

So the master and apprentice went into the contracted space to strike iron, while Leoric waited for them to come out, flipped through the bills, and did some clerical work.After about half an hour, Shi En came out first. As soon as he came out, he was sweating profusely, as if he had just been fished out of the water, and said: "It can't be done. As the saying goes, Master was afraid that I would die from the heat, so he let me out first."

Leoric asked him, "Hot to death? Is that an exaggeration?"

"Hmm! Master is almost soaking in lava forging weapons! Such a high temperature, human beings must not be able to bear it, ah, no wonder the demons can forge such good swords, they are really talented. Oh yes, Master The tools used are completely different from mine, besides the hammer and anvil, there are all kinds of pliers, clamps, models and materials I have never seen. And his damper is magically powered! Heck, it is very powerful , I am a country bumpkin compared to Master..." Shi En laughed embarrassedly, scratched his head, and said, "I'm really afraid that Master will despise me."

Leoric patted him on the shoulder and said: "You can rest assured to learn, one of the contracts I signed with Anvil is for him to accept apprentices, so accepting apprentices is one of his tasks .If he doesn't teach you well, I will punish him."

"Oh, that's how it is!" Shi En nodded, and immediately bowed to Leoric, saying, "Then I will definitely live up to the general's kindness!" He picked up the water bottle and drank a lot of water, and then Drilled into the contract space.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, the two blacksmiths, master and apprentice, came out of the contract space.As soon as he came out, Shi En said excitedly: "It's amazing, it's amazing! General, you must take a look at this shield, it's so well repaired!"

Leoric took a look at the shield, and sure enough, the shield was intact, no trace of damage could be seen on the front or back!It is hard to imagine that this is a combination of broken shields on both sides.Leoric nodded, and praised: "Anvil, with you here, the armor of the Northern Expedition will no longer be afraid of the barbarian's sword."

"Boss, I'm overwhelmed." The demon dwarf smiled embarrassedly, then sighed, and said, "But the fly in the ointment is..." He hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong with this?"

Anvil said: "Actually, I can still enchant it, but I don't have a suitable concentrated element in my hand."

Leoric asked, "What is a concentrated element?"

Anvil said: "It is magic oil, potion, etc. that are concentrated and refined magic elements."

Hearing this, Leoric laughed immediately, pouted to the side, and said, "Do you see anything over there?"

Anvil looked in the direction indicated by Leoric, and saw a canvas-covered truck there.He walked over, supported the side of the car with one hand and raised it high, while he was suspended in the air, he lifted the canvas with a "crash", and fell to the ground again.

Then he exclaimed: "Oh, yes, that's it!"

It was a batch of potions seized from the astrologer earlier. Philip originally planned to sell them for money, but he didn't expect to use them so soon.The anvil was too short to get on the truck, so he asked the newly recruited apprentice to help. Shi En took down the goods one by one, and the bottles and cans made a ping-pong sound, as if they were moving wine boxes.Iron Anvil looked at the colorful bottles, couldn't close his mouth, and said, "These are good, these are powerful!" Seeing him almost drooling, as if he could touch an iron nail just by looking at them Half a catty of old wine Mengzi.

The anvil turned over, picked up a red bottle, and said, "This is it!"

Shi En asked him, "What is this, Master?"

Anvil said: "This, this is called antifreeze potion. If it can be enchanted on the shield, the shield will be able to resist all kinds of ice magic - be careful, this potion is very dangerous." He warned Shi En. .

Fuck, antifreeze?Leoric laughed dumbfounded, where did the Slavic dwarves come from?The little Suka who got up early had antifreeze to drink.

Then, the anvil unscrewed the lid, and a scent of oil came out of the potion bottle, followed by a chill.Shi En asked him, "Master, how to enchant this?"

"You see."

Anvil said as he put the potion bottle in front of him, staring at the mouth of the bottle as if facing a formidable enemy.Everyone's mood became tense and looking forward to it.At this moment, Iron Anvil suddenly let out a loud roar, and raised its neck, "T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T!"

"Master!" Shi En yelled in fright.

Anvil's eyes widened at this moment, and then he opened his mouth.

"puff!"

I saw that the anvil was like a fire-breathing artist in a circus, spit out blue ice mist from his mouth, and this ice mist fell on the shield, immediately covered with a layer of frost-like substance.Then the substance slowly melted and penetrated into the shield, gradually turning the shield's surface into ice blue.

"Hic—!" Anvil wiped the corner of his mouth, belched loudly, and said, "It's done. In this way, this shield can protect against fire and cold again."

Leoric took the shield with both hands and said, "Is your stomach all right?"

"Stomach?" The dwarf laughed and said, "What could be wrong? I just mixed it in my stomach and spit it all out!"

Leoric thought to himself: But what you spit out is only a small sip, but what you suffocate is a whole bottle?Is it really okay?

The dwarf didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to ask. Anyway, looking at Anvil's boldness in "drinking antifreeze", it might not be the first time he has done this.

Then Leoric took the shield to find Growen, and he went straight to the cavalry camp and said, "Grovin, are you there?"

It was already late at this time, and the lights were about to be blown out, and Growin was about to wash up and go to bed.At this time, he was sitting on the stool washing his feet, when he suddenly heard Leoric's voice from outside, he stood up quickly and went out, then he forgot that his feet were still in the basin, and fell directly on the big horse, washing Foot water spilled all over the floor.

The guards at the door hurried in when they heard the movement, and Leoric also walked in quickly and asked, "What's the matter?" Then they saw this scene.

Growen fell to the ground and got dirty water all over his body. He was so embarrassed that no matter how thick-skinned he was, he first waved away the guards, and then said: "Let Lord Leoric laugh, What, let me tidy up first, wait a minute." He said, took off his dirty clothes and pants and threw them into the bucket, swept the water outside, and then brought a clean stool for Leoric, and finished all this , Growin had an embarrassed smile on his face, and said, "My lord, if you need to send someone to tell you something, I'll go and find you! Why bother you to come here in person?"

Leoric usually doesn't like to order people around, let alone this trip is to deliver things, so of course he has to come in person.He didn't talk nonsense, took out the shield directly, and said, "You can use this thing, is it easy?"

"Shield? Oh, I'll try."

Growin held the shield in his left hand, held his right hand falsely to simulate the state of holding a knife, and then stepped down to pretend to be riding a horse.He swung the air knife twice, and took the shield to block the imaginary attack, and immediately said: "Well, the size is suitable, and the weight is also very light..." He knocked on the shield with his hand, and there was a dull sound from inside. Growen said with a puzzled look: "Wood? Or iron? The material is so strange."

Leoric said, "Is it easy to use?"

"Ah, it's quite a good shield, why? My lord, this is..."

Growen looked at Leoric with some doubts. He seemed to have guessed Leoric's intentions, but he couldn't believe it.Then, Leoric said, "This is for you, my good brother." Leoric patted him on the shoulder.

Growen opened his mouth wide in surprise, and said, "Didn't your lord reward me? How come you reward me?"

Leoric couldn't tell the truth, so he could only say: "Those are gold and silver treasures, which are of no use to soldiers. After thinking about it, I decided to give you a real and practical weapon. This thing is the Cyclops' shield , I was split into two during the battle, and I asked a blacksmith to repair it, and even enchanted it. Now this shield is not said to be invulnerable, but at least it can block me a few times without cracking."

"Can it block your knife?" Growen looked at the shield in surprise, and subconsciously pulled away, as if looking at a terrifying monster.

Everyone in the army knew that Leoric was infinitely powerful, and the Giant Butcher and Eyepecker in his hands were invincible holy relics. So far, no one has been able to slash against him, but this shield can block his knife , and how many knives can you pick up?What legendary armor is this?

"The exception is due to the special material and enchantment. This shield is not afraid of fire and freezing. The blacksmith said that it can even catch the dragon's breath, but I haven't taken it, and I dare not guarantee it." Leoric did not deliberately brag. How NB is my own thing, I just want to tell Growen the correct way to use this shield.

What?Can it resist magic?The entire Northern Expedition should have no better shield than this one, right?Holding the shield in both hands, Growin said with a dazed expression, "General, what can I do? I have been rewarded by you again and again? Rather than giving me this kind of protective artifact, it is better...to give it to someone else, such as Warlord, or Elven Queen."

Leoric waved his hand and said, "Stop talking, this is the most suitable thing for you."

Shia, I won't let her go to the front line at all!Besides, Shia is already the number one swordsman of the plateau people who has sealed his throat with blood, can he still use this thing?With a flick of the wrist, the enemy's head was chopped off.Bringing a shield to increase the load will weaken her speed advantage.

Leoric couldn't explain the cause and effect to him, so he had no choice but to block his rhetoric with "If you don't accept it, you won't give me face".Growin accepted it "reluctantly but happily". He fiddled with the shield, liking it more and more, and couldn't help saying:

"General, please cut me twice!"

How could Leoric refuse such an unreasonable request?

"Okay!" Leoric said, pulling out "Giant Butcher" and "Eyepeck" from his waist.

Growin's face turned green with fright, and he said quickly, "Don't cut it! Just use the unsharp iron sword over there."

Leoric laughed dumbfounded, put away his weapon and said, "Don't worry, this shield is very solid."

"But I don't have the courage to accept Leoric's sword. Really, I'm timid." The number one warrior of the Northern Expedition appointed by Leoric said very cowardly at this time.

So Leoric picked up the blunt unedged sword, and Growin held the shield, and the two of them made a few symbolic moves.Growen mostly used lances and sabers at ordinary times, and had fewer opportunities to use shields, but it was not impossible to use them.It's quite interesting to see him block these few times.The two of them couldn't perform in the tent, and after a few hits, they went outside and tried to break each other's moves, but they still didn't feel satisfied, so Leoric suggested, "Why don't you use that wooden sword too?" , shall we play a game?"

Growen shook his head again and again and said |: "I'm sure I can't beat you!"

Leoric smiled and said, "Your swordsmanship is not as good as mine, so naturally you need my advice even more, right?"

Only then did Growin reflect, and said excitedly: "You are willing to give me advice? Well, that's great!"

The two changed their equipment and came to a flat open space to fight.Leoric knew Growen's martial arts well, so he said, let Growen go all out, just fight; and he doesn't use the buff himself, and then fights with six or seven points of strength.As Leoric expected, the two still fought [-]-[-] even though he was letting the water go.Growin charged and killed the enemy very bravely, but it was all done right away, and the foot combat really pulled his hips. Leoric pointed out Growin's swordsmanship, footwork, and force movements while fighting.

At this time, the moon and stars were scarce, and the two danced swords under the moonlight, which looked like a shadow puppet show from a distance.The soldiers of the cavalry regiment heard that the coach was practicing swords with Leoric, so they all came to watch.While fighting, Leoric pointed Growin, and taught the surrounding soldiers from time to time. He tried to use some simple and practical moves, so that everyone could understand them, learn them, and use them.While fighting, Leoric thought: After this battle is over, it must be stable for a year or so. The Northern Expeditionary Army needs a lot of training, and the country also needs to engage in production. Not for a protracted war.

After fighting for dozens of rounds, Growin was so tired that he was out of breath, and his moves began to deform, so Leoric stopped.Growen saluted him, but said nothing, with a bitter expression on his face.Everyone cheered Leoric's name, but some people chose to remain silent in order not to embarrass the leader.

Leoric said, "It feels like I can't beat me, doesn't it?"

"Yes, I can't beat you." Growin bit the bullet and admitted.He lost to Leoric in front of so many younger brothers, and felt a little embarrassed.

Leoric asked him. "You seem ashamed to lose to me?"

"Don't dare!" Growin said hastily, "It is the greatest honor to fight against you!"

Leoric patted him on the shoulder and said, "No, it's good to feel ashamed! It proves that you have a sense of honor and a competitive heart! It's the so-called courage after knowing shame! People who don't have shame can't grow in failure !"

"You too!" Leoric said loudly, "Brothers of the Iron Cavalry, listen up! The plateau people have spent the past 200 years in disgrace! Still not introspective, one has no good governance, two has no perseverance, and three has no courage. However, the Northern Expeditionary Army is a warrior with a sense of honor. If they win, they will be honored, and if they lose, they will feel shame. Only in this way can they capture Wild Wolf City and hang the Crow King So, if you are defeated, you may know your shame, and only when you know your shame can you work hard!"

"The barbarians and demons are still occupying our homeland!"

"One day if the plateau people don't return home, the shame on you and me will never go away!"

The crowd cheered loudly, "Long live the Northern Expedition!" "Long live Leoric!" "Long live the general!" Leoric opened his arms and shouted along with the crowd. The decisive battle was about to happen, just to boost morale.

At this time, the crowd did not know who shouted: "King Leoric!" Then the scene was silent for a moment, everyone looked at each other, and shouted in the next second: "King Leoric!"

This time, Leoric couldn't follow suit. After all, he hadn't become king yet, so it was really inappropriate for the soldiers to call him "King Leoric".Just in time, the lights-off signal rang, and Leoric made a gesture to shut down the sound, and said, "Okay, let's all go to rest, we will attack Bachelor City early tomorrow morning!"

Everyone cheered again, and then went back to their houses to rest.

Before leaving, Leoric said to Growin: "If you don't understand anything about swordsmanship, you can come and ask me, or you can ask Shia. I don't have any concept of sect, martial arts are open, let's learn together! "

"Thank you, thank you sir! No wonder everyone says you have the character of a saint! You really are the man who is going to be king!"

Why do you say that?Leoric smiled, and said goodbye to the cavalry.As soon as he left, Growin's cronies gathered around to congratulate him, saying that not only did he become "the number one warrior of the Northern Expedition" today, but he also got such a good shield. The beloved soldier is none other than you.Growin laughed and said that when the money came down, he would invite everyone to drink.At this time, someone asked him again: "Commander, do you want to give this shield a name?"

Growin thought for a while and said, "I like this thing, let's call it "Leoric's Shield"!" He stroked the shield with a loving smile on his face, just like a father strokes a baby's face.

As a result, another "Leoric Suit" that wasn't Leoric was added.

……

At this moment, Leoric returned to the tent alone, thinking: Originally, he planned to camp outside the city of bachelors tonight, but he was delayed all day by this ghost hitting the wall. It seems that tomorrow will speed up.

The enemy played tricks on Leoric today. Although he resolved it with his extraordinary courage, it has to be said that the strength displayed by the enemy is beyond his expectations, and the tactics are also very strange—if the traditional tactics , every move is a hard bridge and a hard horse. We see the tricks and break the tricks. It is nothing more than a soldier to cover the water and the soil, and it is not difficult to fight.But when it comes to magic, anything can happen, which is confusing.Today's victory was a bit of luck. If it wasn't for the explosion of the Growen Cosmos, Leoric would have suffered a lot of losses.

Thinking of this, Leoric tapped his collarbone with his fingers and said, "Are you there?"

"What are you doing?" Cassandra's voice came from inside the rune, sounding sleepy.

"Something, come out and say?"

"Ah."

A red mist emerged from Leoric's collarbone, and little Cassandra appeared here.I saw her wearing a knitted sweater and holding a teddy bear about her size in her left hand.Miss Witch was sleepy and dazed.She yawned and said, "Why do you call me so late at night? I'm going to sleep."

Leoric said: "I'm really sorry, um, there is indeed something wrong. Don't you think I'm going to have a decisive battle tomorrow? I want you to give the staff to the staff..."

Upon hearing this, Cassandra frowned and said, "Ah? You still can't deal with the plateau rebels? Such a dish, I will fire your servant!"

It's okay to fire servants.Leoric knew that this guy had a knife-mouthed tofu heart, so he didn't care, so he smiled and continued to explain: "It's like this, there is that evil god among the enemies, the one you mentioned last time... what is it called?" ? I forgot again."
