Chapter 42 Silver Steel Sword
Author: Aunt Sibai
The river of stars is like a sword, piercing the night sky.
The corpses of local people with hunched bodies ran quickly on the ground, sometimes jumping up like apes and grabbing tree trunks to move forward.
"Did you get scared away?"
Since that day when the griffin was fumigated by the smell of burning pasture, he could not find any trace of the gryphon again.
It is not known whether the female Fierce Mane horse was successfully bred. The groom only said that the condition is not bad, but the food intake has become worse, and it has been slowly recovering in recent days. After all, it is a war horse.
A griffon represents great wealth. Li Qi is afraid that the griffon will hurt people, but at the same time he is reluctant to lose the trace of the griffon completely.
If you stay here, you might as well be a gryphon breeder from time to time.
It wasn't until he discovered a huge cave on a cliff in the Pig Back Valley that there were piles of human heads, bones, shiny armor and swords that he could be sure that the griffin was really scared away.
Porcupine Castle.
Li Qi had already moved out of the bedroom. He couldn't always ask the valet to stop serving him or the sweeping maid to stop cleaning his room, so he moved to his former father Lild's room, and the previous bedroom was ordered by him
No one is allowed to enter.
In the crypt of the "forbidden room" of the castle, what was placed in front of Li Qi was the griffin's harvest.
A big bag of golden suns. Although a few of them were deformed and twisted by griffins, gold is still gold.
I estimate that there are more than 20 pieces, which are quite heavy.
Comparable to two or three months' income, this will be the biggest gain this time.
After careful selection, there is also a valuable sword. The material is like silver steel, a very brittle and delicate sword. Legend has it that silver steel can cause great damage to monsters. Li Qi remembers that it was in the book Donkey Knight that he read.
record.
The blade of the sword has a strange pattern, like a master-level forging technique of twist forging. The twisting pattern was revealed after acid leaching. Apart from that, he couldn't see much more. In short, it was very beautiful, but there was a word written on the sword.
A string of characters, the characters were written on it through corrosion in a special way, and are incompatible with the sword itself.
It read: "What do you want to say in the face of death?"
"Huh?" Li Qi looked at the sword doubtfully. This string of words made the exquisite sword have obvious flaws, and made him confused.
What do you want to say when facing death? And it’s a place you can see when you pick up the sword. Every time you pick up the sword, you have to take a look at it to remind yourself? How terrible must have been the life of the original owner of the sword!
He put down his sword and picked up another object, a ring inlaid with a red gem. The gem seemed to be alive. When he first saw it, Li Qi was even worried about being burned. Of course, the gem was cold.
This is something that can be exchanged for money.
The remaining items have little to do with the owner of the sword. The armor inlaid with the golden sword emblem is a relic from the golden soldier of the Leopold family. It always feels a bit troublesome to keep it in the room.
There are also armors from other families. Before his father Lild died, the East Gorge War had not yet stopped. At that time, many families gathered together, and some of them may have become the gryphon's midnight snack.
Father Lild also had his own set of knight armor, including helmet, breastplate, full-body chain mail, shoulder pads, shin guards, knee pads, elbow pads, gloves, etc. It was extremely cumbersome to wear and required a real retinue to wear it, but there were
Using this thing on the battlefield can greatly increase the chance of survival.
Li Qi has a pill business, and his monthly income is about 7-9 gold days, which is already more than most of the little barons, and certainly cannot be compared with the extremely wealthy Baron Sparks.
To arm a knight, it costs 5 gold days. Of course, the real price will fluctuate according to the blacksmith's quotation, but it will definitely not be lower than 2-3 gold days. In other words, Li Qi can now arm one or two gold days a month.
Knights, some small nobles may only be able to arm a few knights with all their income in a year.
This does not include the war horses needed by the knight, which must also be purchased with gold sun, as well as the armor needed by the war horses, as well as the knight's lance, bow and arrow or javelin, and the great sword or mace for dismounted fighting.
Although many noble lords would confer knights, they would not provide the knights with their horses and equipment, because that would make them bankrupt. Only Leopold, Baron Sparks, and Li Qi's grandfather could generously grant the knights a complete set of equipment.
This also shows how difficult it is for ordinary people to become knights. Even if Li Qi agrees to let the son of the housekeeper or the political officer Grant become his retinue knight, if they don't make extra money, it will take them decades to earn a set of knight equipment!
Therefore, what prevents ordinary people from becoming knights is not only class, but also money.
If these armors are re-calcined and the style is slightly modified, they can be worn again for fighting. Some of the armors are even several times better than Lear's set!
The premise is that the territory has its own blacksmith.
Judging from these things, griffons have not appeared recently, but have been moving within a certain range. They just recently started to forage in the porcupine collar for some reasons.
Or think about the worst, a powerful being appears on the other side of the Pig Back Valley, forcing the griffins to change their hunting grounds and come here to look for food.
"Does it have anything to do with you?" he asked, looking at the silver steel sword in his hand.
The silver steel sword kills monsters, and the gryphon happens to be the legendary monster.
Does it matter?
Someone who hunts gryphons?
Could it be that he has silver hair, carries two swords on his back, and loves playing cards?
If there was a relationship, he hoped that the other party would not come here. The young baron was not ready to deal with those superhumans.
After packing up these things, Li Qi was going to give the ruby ring to Joe when he came back and ask him to help appraise the value.
Li Qi yawned.
Without mobile phones, the Internet, computer games, and the ability to catch up on TV shows, his life has become much more regular, and he feels a little sleepy after nightfall.
Before you go to bed, let the raven fly and let it do its rounds.
This is a habit he has developed recently. Raven also understands that this is his mission, and his magic brain is not slow in understanding.
The raven spread its wings and flew away from Porcupine Castle with Li Qi's sight.
Looking down from the air, the ugly wooden and mud house looked like a lump of something falling on the ground. Li Qi confirmed over and over again that Black Ear was only suitable for making farm tools, and he really couldn't believe what he said.
Nothing went wrong with the slaves.
No problem, as always.
But the raven did not fly to the castle. Li Qi knew that it sometimes went to the dense forest, but since the gryphon appeared, the raven had no intention of going to the dense forest and would instead go to the beach.
The stars are reflected on the sea surface, and the raven with spread wings seems to be flying among the stars, with nebulae surrounding it.
It was as if he was flying at this moment.
Suddenly, he noticed something was wrong. It was a ship, a two-masted sailing ship. On the ship was not the emblem of any family in the East Gorge, but a skull and crossbones flag swinging in the wind.
