Two-handed weapons are popular in the North.
Heavy battle axes, giant broadswords, peculiarly shaped maces...
Each of them is extremely wild, and the aesthetics of violence are interpreted in the fight and slaughter.
"The natural conditions of Palotusbi, tsk tsk, you should have experienced it, it is quite tormenting, wars are frequent, the forces are chaotic, and most of the races living here are strong and fierce. You have to face the pounce of giant beasts and heavy armor. If the weapon is too weak, it will be quite disadvantageous."
But if you can play the flexibility of one-handed weapons, you can make up for this gap.
Ken is a representative.
When he woke up, this body was most familiar with swordsmanship, but from [Sandon Kaya] to [Duwa Tribe], he had a deep understanding of what the dwarves said.
Ken had to avoid head-on confrontation with the enemy several times because of the difference in size and strength. He often hovered on the edge of life and death, struggling to find a chance to turn the tables, and was suppressed by two-handed weapons.
This battle axe named [Sheng Hun] will be the solution to the problem.
It takes time for others to become familiar with a type of weapon.
But not for Ken.
He only needs to invest all his experience points into [Two-handed Weapons] in the future. As the army expands, challenges and opportunities increase, and this growth will be faster.
Ken currently believes that there should be an upper limit to pure proficiency improvement.
"I heard that many ruthless people from the southern border countries will appear in the north. For them, will this kind of weapon suppression also exist?"
He expressed his doubts.
"No. The knights of the Southern Border Kingdom, the famous mercenaries, and even the notorious criminals, these guys have long been out of the ordinary and have their own trump cards and means. The improvement of strength by the type of weapons cannot be explained by common sense."
The dwarf answered.
"That's the other part I want to talk about."
He raised his broken arms and said, "Take the steel sword as an example. Many people think that it only has a sense of ritual but lacks practicality... But what if it can be blessed with thunder, or attached with fire? Or, what if it can inspire some kind of bloodthirsty talent? What if the weapon itself contains powerful power?"
Different levels, can't be compared.
The dwarf's eyes showed a look of reminiscence:
"It's too long ago. Every craftsman in the dwarf era has heard that the most important weapon in the continent of Oshua is a sword!"
He looked at the well-proportioned young man in black armor in front of him.
"I said this because I hope you know that if you are strong enough, the difference between weapon types will become very vague, and there are various ways to improve your strength."
Ken nodded without saying anything.
He can understand it. After all, every time he blesses the [Certificate of War Banner], the blue flame can not only improve his strength, but also protect the fragile edge.
"When a blacksmith customizes a weapon, he will combine his own observations."
The dwarf paused here.
Ken recalled that when he asked Marungu to forge the forge, the other party also asked to check the source of power.
A voice continued to be heard in his ear:
"Based on my observation, I think a battle axe of high specifications can help you get through the weak period of growth. Hiss, the gift I gave you should be... quite expensive... Use it well and survive in the North!"
"What else?"
Ken stared at the other party.
There are two situations when the gift is too expensive.
For example, Mag gave [Miqiang Mine] because the Norin Empire has a rich foundation, and the other party is just a remnant of the ancient times. With such enthusiasm, he must have other things to entrust to him.
"That's right," the dwarf said without hiding it. "If you are strong enough in the future, I would like to ask you to destroy the seven furnaces."
Ken originally thought that the dwarf wanted him to help him find a way to lift the curse.
I never expected that it would be such an incredible commission, but it can be seen that he can say such words, at least he believes that Ken can grow to the point where he can shake the North.
But on the other hand.
As a dwarf craftsman who redeems his sins...
Why does he want to destroy the most brilliant, outstanding and longest-lasting work of the "Dwarf Era"?
[Sin: Legacy of the Baking Furnace]
[Progress: 0/7]
The notes give hints, similar to the original [Wasteland Tomb], both are very difficult collection tasks, one is a rumor of the Old God Era, and the other is a mystery of the Dwarf Era.
[Road to Redemption]
[The Baking Furnace Legacy is not as great as the world praises. You have to obtain the secrets and then make the corresponding choice. ]
Arthur's face has regained its spirit.
He finally reached a reconciliation with himself and wanted to take the initiative to go back to face Wochier and make clear his concerns and ideals.
Ken smiled and agreed.
He has now realized the special nature of the [Series of Tasks]: it is more complicated than regular tasks, requires a certain amount of luck, and will change as things develop.
From the perspective of rewards.
Although Ken did not gain any experience points, and even gave away a lot because of [Hunting Down], as long as he can exchange for this blacksmith follower, it is definitely worth it.
Arthur's theoretical foundation was taught by the remnant soul of the Dwarf Kingdom.
He also learned a lot of lost techniques, such as drawing the Hades map, and has also identified a lot of precious materials. His experience can be said to be quite rich.
Young, wild, and extremely talented.
"Your future growth is quite exciting."
Ken gained the favor of the workshop blacksmiths by helping Wachler, and he will be able to get a lot of help from them when he conducts trade in Sandon Kaya in the future.
He also met the remnant soul of ancient times because of Arthur.
He obtained the [Name of Winter Mother] from the dwarf craftsman, and even the note said that it might be helpful to him in the future.
As for the actual rewards.
Ken received an accessory of [Quality: Legend] and a battle axe blueprint named [Shenghun]. As long as he forged it, his strength would be greatly improved.
He would be more confident about the second half of the expedition and even solving the crisis of Sandon Kaya.
Suddenly, the light above his head attracted everyone's attention.
Above the snowflake-shaped dome was the ice of [Permafrost Waterfall] that never melted all year round. It kept flickering at this time, and everyone felt palpitations - what kind of vision could affect this ancient ruins buried deep underground! ?
"Hiss, you said that the spirit craftsman was called 'Wachier', right?"
The dwarf looked at Arthur.
His face was full of reverence. As an ancient old man who was familiar with the secrets of forging, he seemed to have understood everything and whispered, "I will remember this name."
Arthur was confused, but the dwarf had already started to urge everyone to leave.
Ken had a premonition before, and it came true at this time. Something must be wrong with the Duwa tribe. Without hesitation, he quickly took Kuima and Arthur away from the ruins.
When they walked away...
The dwarf waved to extinguish the bonfire.
He remained silent in the gray smoke of the embers, raised his head to feel the nostalgic pounding sound in the air.
At this time.
Ken had passed through the ice maze and climbed onto the back of the wolf king. He let Arthur sit behind him and rushed in the direction they came from at full speed.
The night was deep, but the sky was full of strange aurora.
The ancient furnace resonated, and the thick clouds were like ash accumulated for countless years, piling up over the Duwa tribe.
[Series of tasks: Only one teaching (end)]
[Progress: 14H]
[The heaviest gift is called "inheritance". Facing the willfulness of his apprentice, the spirit craftsman chose tolerance for the last time. ]
