"Uncle Oken, is the long knife I ordered before finished?" The girl came to the Blacksmith Street in the city and found the familiar shop.

I should have picked it up a month ago, but Sylutia was so absorbed in studying during this period that I forgot about it.

"It's you. I made that knife a long time ago, but you never came to pick it up. I thought you had an accident." After hearing this, the blacksmith uncle took out a long knife sealed in a black scabbard from the back room.

"Take a look, how is the condition and quality? If it doesn't go well, I can make some changes for you."

Taking the knife, Sylutia looked at it carefully. Its appearance and shape were similar to the "Yanling Saber" in his memory. When he pulled out the blade, it was dark gold in color and black when seen from a distance. But when he turned it slightly, there was a faint golden reflection. The blade had smooth lines and could easily cut through leather.

[Radiant Gold Longblade] (Level 2·Rare): A long knife made of Radiant Gold. Sharpness is unusual, feels comfortable, and has the effect of Magic-Breaking. (Sharpness+3, Magic-Breaking+2)

"You try waving it, there are some unused discarded Grey Cowhide here." The blacksmith uncle hung out a piece of broken cowhide "First Order excellent".

"Okay." Sylutia held the knife and waved it in the air. It felt half lighter than Black Steel. It accelerated slightly and could feel a hint of coldness.

She picked up the knife and didn't apply any extra force. She just dragged it across the leather, making smooth cuts in the tough cowhide.

This smooth breaking feeling is fascinating. If she had taken this knife that day, she could probably kill that Petrification Lizard forty times, directly exhausting the opponent's recovery power, making it unable to use the atomization form and die.

After trying to use it several times, Sylutia put the knife away and thanked the blacksmith for his careful craftsmanship.

"This is the remaining 50 gold coins from the order." She took out the gold coins she carried.

"You don't need so much. Didn't we agree on a total of 90 gold coins? You already paid 50 gold coins as a deposit."

O

"I know, the extra 10 gold coins should be considered as a gift from me as a thank you." She doesn't need this much money now.

"Okay, I'll accept it." The other party was no longer polite and accepted the bag of gold coins with a smile.

After continuing to walk around the store and looking at various weapons, Sylutia remembered the [Black Goat Horn] that Agren had given her when she asked for help, so she asked the blacksmith how to use it.

"If you are talking about Nightmare"Aspect Power's Black Goat Horn, I suggest you make a dagger to use." The blacksmith thought for a while.

"I have learned how to make a special weapon before, called Black Dream Dagger". It has a strong Magic-Breaking effect, and when it penetrates the enemy's body, it will cause mental damage to the opponent, which is very special."

"Although some large monsters are strong in flesh and blood, their mental consciousness is not that strong. If you attack from this aspect, the effect will be better."

"The reason why it is a dagger and not a sword or gun is because if the blade is too far away from the Black Goat Horn" of the handle, the effectiveness will decrease, so a dagger is the most suitable."

"Oh, by the way, daggers can also be used as magical weapons in many rituals. This is rather esoteric. You will probably understand it after you reach the third level and come into contact with the knowledge related to the ritual "sacrifice"."

"Does it have such a use?" Sylutia felt a little strange, and then thought about it, Black Goat Horn wouldn't be of much use if it were kept, so it would be better to leave it to the other party to build it.

"I will send that Black Goat Horn later and ask uncle to help me make a dagger."

"No problem." The other party patted Sturdy's chest.

"In addition, I also want to ask my uncle to help me make a long knife, but this time, it will be more narrow." Her body shape and feel are different from Agren, so compared with the knife in her hand now, certain adjustments have to be made.

The next day, Sylutia sent Black Goat Horn, and then communicated with the blacksmith uncle in detail about the details of the two new weapons.

"This is a deposit of 100 gold coins, sorry to trouble you." After paying the deposit for the two weapons, Sylutia said goodbye.

Holding a long knife, Sylutia came to the Association to mail it.

"Who do you want to mail it to?" the staff asked.

"It's a student at Dire Wolf Wilderness's station, his name is Agren". Sylutia recalled.

"Okay." After the other party wrote it down, he calculated the postage and told the girl.

"The total postage fee is 2 gold coins, which includes the transmission fee and the errand fee for helping you contact the student."

"Okay." After paying the money, Xilu Tia got a confirmation form.

Afterwards, she thought about it and wrote another letter and gave it to the staff.

"This letter was mailed to the Forest Spring Orchard" station and handed over to student Florella. She came to the Woodland in the same class as me."

"No problem."

After doing this, Xilu Tia left with satisfaction.

When we returned to our residence, it was still early. Sylutia read a book for a while, and then when Sophitina came back, he brought the girl a prepared dinner.

"I bought these on the way back, a roast goose, two pieces of bread, and two bottles of iced juice." Sophitina placed the packaged food on the table.

"Thank you~"

In the evening, the two of them sat at the dining table to dine, and Sophitina talked about what happened during the day.

"I was recently learning about spell models from teacher Dix, and I heard someone talking about you." Sophitina drank the juice in small sips and kneaded the bread lightly with his long fingers.

"Oh, what did everyone say about me?" Sylutia recalled that he seemed to have little contact with students of the same class.

"Everyone says that you are very mysterious and cannot be seen normally. And because you have cultivated a large number of rare and high-quality crops, you were discussed by some teachers, and then they found out."

"Several of the students who came to Golden Radiance Plain with you said that you were very cold at that time and did not talk to them on the way. Probably because they felt that their strength was not worthy of talking to you."

"Oh, is that so?" Sylutia tilted his head, his snow-white silver hair curved on his shoulders, and then fell a little.

"I was actually paying attention to the surrounding environment at that time, because it was my first time to the Woodland, and I was very curious about everything."

Hearing Sylutia's explanation, the black-haired girl opposite couldn't help but raise her hands and chuckle.

"But that's not the case in everyone's eyes, but there are also many people who admire you. After all, you advanced to Sequence Two within one year, which really surprised many people."

"Some people found out that you lived in that valley and wanted to go over and take a peek to see how you did it, but the teacher warned them that if they disturbed you, they would be punished. This scared the excited students."

Sophitina and Tia talked about interesting things in their study life, which also gave her some understanding of the status of other students in the city.

At the end, Sophitina was a little curious. "Don't you usually go out to parties or something like that?"

"Is there a party? No one told me." Sylutia retorted softly, saying that he was not the kind of unreasonable person.

"Your situation is really rare." Sophitina shook his head slightly, and then told Sylutia the life experiences of ordinary students.

"If you have just entered the Woodland, the freshmen will often stick together and exchange experiences from time to time. After all, they all choose the same station and most of the learning paths are the same."

"Secondly, everyone is afraid that they will not be well-informed, miss some opportunities, or fall behind and not understand the situation, so they will take the initiative to participate in some party activities. Anyway, such activities are only once a month, which is not a waste of time. It can also play with peers and relax the overly nervous and depressed mood."

"Aren't you worried about this?"

"I was thinking about getting the crops in the valley ready and completing the task evaluation. I have been busy getting familiar with and improving the cultivation of the crops. Then I have to spend time cleaning up the debris in the valley, teaching the toads, letting them learn some basic processes, and helping me share the load——" Sylutia counted the work completed at that time with his fingers, saying that he had not thought of other things at all.

"I probably understand." Sophitina stopped Sylutia's explanation and handed her the sliced roast goose leg.

"Tia is the kind of person who focuses on something and is completely immersed in it. No wonder he can make such rapid progress." She sighed a little.

"Well, I'll host a party the day after tomorrow, and you can come and get to know other students of the same age in the city."

"Okay."

"Yeah, I've finished eating." Sophitina put down the knife and fork in his hand and stood up.

"Tia Do you want to take a hot bath tonight? I don't mind two people together." Usually the two of them take baths separately, but because the baths are limited, it's one person per day.

"This----"Tia looked at the black-haired girl in front of him who was about the same height as himself, thought about it and shook his head.

"Let's talk about it next time."

She really still likes to take a bath alone. In this memory, she seems to have taken a bath with Elysia when she was a child. He also liked to fight with her in the water, so it left a deep impression on her.

"Tia is shy, giggle." Sophitina winked at the girl, then took a change of pajamas and walked to the bathroom in the back room.

After living under the same roof for two months, the two of them were polite and unfamiliar at the beginning, and now they are gradually familiar with each other. They occasionally make some insignificant jokes to tease each other.
