Arriving at the tall Castle of White Stone Citadel, Sylutia, led by the guards, walked through complicated corridors and passages, and finally arrived at a tower with a blazing fire.

"This is where Tristan lives on a daily basis." The guard opened the door and asked Sylutia to wait while he went to inform him.

Soon, he came out.

"Master Tristan lets you in."

"Okay." The girl nodded and walked into the tower.

Advancing along the passage, she soon came to a foundry room. There were four Burn furnaces, each of which forged different tools. A blacksmith about 2.4 meters tall was working. His muscles were like cast bronze and extremely powerful.

Seeing the girl approaching beneath him, he put down the iron block he was beating.

"It's Sylutia, right? Have you thought about what you want to build this time?" This is the branch president of "Forged Gold Hammer" in Golden Radiance Plain, "Great Stone Smith" Tristan.

He looked at Sylutia, his big copper candle-like eyes seemed to be able to penetrate.

"Your arms are very thin, but I think you will look particularly majestic with a giant axe."

Hearing such a suggestion, Sylutia couldn't help but squint her forehead. She always felt that these adults wanted to train her according to their own ideas.

Kurand Hill hopes that she will choose "Spring Garden", Cassius Knights hopes that she will become Knight like a flower on the battlefield, and the blacksmith uncle also suggests that she play with an overweight giant ax and become a warrior.

"Thank you for your suggestion, but I only need a suit of armor that is easy to move around." The girl thought for a moment.

"War armor? The one I built the most is the Knight armor for the young men in the Knight group." He answered with a smile.

"But those things are just like tin cans. It would be too ugly for you to wear." I didn't expect that the blacksmith had such a sense of aesthetics.

"Let me think about it, is there any style that suits you?" He crossed his arms and meditated on the memories.

two minutes later

"Yes, I have seen a mural before. It depicts the Blood Dynasty period. When Blood Rose Princess and "Irentina" went to war, she wore Flower Battle Armor. She was riding on Black Nightmare Warhorse, holding a slender ax handle, and the black and red giant ax was raised with the war horse, just like a general conquering purgatory."

"Using that model as a template, I will slightly improve it and make it tailor-made for you."

"I don't know much about the aesthetic design of battle armor, but that set is the crystallization of the wisdom of the Blood Dynasty masters. It should be the most beautiful."

"You don't have to worry about the materials. I'll pay you directly in advance. You can use a ruler to measure your figure later so I can make a mold."

After listening to the blacksmith's description, Sylutia was curious about what kind of armor it would be, but unfortunately she had never seen such a mural.

Coming to the side room, Sylutia found a soft ruler, carefully measured his body data, then recorded it and handed it to the blacksmith.

"Okay, with these, I should be able to create a suit-fitting armor."

"You go back first. I'll let someone notify you after it's finished."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Tristan." Sylutia bowed and saluted, then turned and left.

In the next two months, Sylutia lived in White Stone Citadel and studied various courses with Serophi scholars. At present, she has mastered "Elven Language" Fairy Language""Basic Runes""Luo Bai's Garden" is currently studying the two courses "Ancient King Mureto" and "Noble Etiquette and Inheritance".

"At Seventh Era, King of Ancient Barbarism Mureto led the people through Star-Bound Wilderness. They traveled for nearly twelve years and arrived at Midsummer Land after going through all kinds of difficulties..."

"This journey was a bumpy one. He also defeated many monsters that blocked his way, including the "two-headed giant snake" Heikuis." Serophi tapped his finger on the cardboard, and a huge Two-Headed Serpent pattern appeared on it.

"Two-Headed Serpent" One head is "Nightmare" Aspect Power, with dark purple scales, and the other head is "Dead Ember" Aspect Power, black and purple scales, they represent the double death of life and spirit. When fighting with them, Mureto was on the verge of death several times. Three of them were defeated and escaped, and the fourth time they won with difficulty."

"Then in the end, how did he defeat that Two-Headed Giant Snake?" Sylutia wanted to know.

"Two-Headed Giant Snake already has a special ability and can be resurrected continuously, so he must be killed at the same time. But at that time, there was no hero comparable to Mureto among humans."

"Finally, Mureto used his wisdom. He held the snake's neck with both hands and let them Bite each other, causing them to inject venom into each other and die together."

"This story later led to an allusion called "Serpent Devour itself", which is a metaphor for those who do bad things and end up harming themselves."

"There are always different ways of looking at the same story. Although the giant snake died, some of the humans accompanying it particularly worshiped and longed for the life of the giant snake. They kept some of the remains of the giant snake and secretly enshrined it later in an attempt to obtain the same powerful power."

"This is the early Cult"Twin Snake Cult" within the human race. They raised snakes, fed them to other humans, and then advanced the snakes. After they grew to a certain level, they merged themselves with the snakes and advanced, becoming half-snake, half-human monsters."

"If you encounter similar "Twin Snake Cult" members in the future, just kill them directly." Serophi informed the two of them.

"Are there still "Twin Snake Cult" people now?" Sophitina asked.

"Also, it's just that their activities are more secretive." Serophi shook his head and continued to explain.

"You have to understand that not everyone can reach a high level and gain longevity. Some crazy people, in order to extend their lifespan, will join the embrace of Cult and use the ritual of sacrifice to strengthen themselves. Even if they become monsters, they still have to live."

"The human heart cannot be spied on. Evil organizations similar to "Twin Snake Cult" still exist in every corner."

"Okay, that's all for today, get out of class is over."

"Yes." The two girls nodded and packed up their notes.

After the course, Sophitina invited the girl to Training Ground inside Castle.

"It's been a long time since I've had any actual combat. Sylutia, can you practice with me?"

"Of course." Sylutia also wanted to try it, but she hadn't done it for a long time.

Half an hour later.

The two put on training clothes and fought at Training Ground, Sophitina used a rapier, and Sylutia used a long knife.

The girl's sleeves were slightly raised, and the long and narrow blade was aligned with her arm, forming a line as she slowly moved forward.

Then Sophitina quickly stepped forward and thrust the sword straight at Sylutia's face in the shortest possible trajectory. However, Sylutia also moved at this moment. She turned her body to the side and avoided the attack lightly. Then the blade in her hand charged up while turning sideways, and she spun around and struck Sophitina, causing her to fall to the ground in pain.

After all, it was a competition, and neither of them deliberately used their extraordinary abilities, but even with the protection of training clothes, Sophitina still felt that he couldn't hold on.

"Sorry, sorry." Sylutia picked her up and helped her sit aside.

She hadn't practiced with anyone for a long time, and her subconscious was the same as when fighting. Even if she partially stopped her hand, the force was not something Sophitina could withstand.

"Tia, it hurts." Sophitina, who originally wanted to practice swordplay, was lying on the chair and didn't want to move at all.

"I'm sorry." Sylutia had no choice but to keep comforting her, helping Sophitina activate her blood and help her recover.

By the way, is Sophitina so fragile? She had clearly stopped her hand just now, Sylutia thought to herself and helped her to press her waist.
