Sun Fei and the prison warden Oleg quickly arrived at the forbidden area in the back mountain.
Fortunately, the enemy who invaded last night did not seem to know the entrance to the underground cave of Mi Chen, nor did they have any specific target. They just searched haphazardly in the back mountain. Their encounter with the white-haired Pierce, Drogba, and others was brief, and they quickly retreated. They came quickly and left quickly, without causing any casualties or other losses.
"The man was dressed in black, his face was covered, and it was too dark for me to see his features clearly..."
"He's incredibly strong; we can't even get within three meters of him..."
"The man didn't seem to want to get entangled further, nor did he want to kill anyone. He retreated immediately after making brief contact with us..."
He seems to be looking for something...
Pierce and the others, looking ashamed, gave a brief account of what had happened the night before. Sun Fei listened carefully and only felt slightly relieved at the end.
Clearly, the intruder, dressed in black, was an extremely powerful individual. Even Pierce and the other twenty-odd experienced fighters combined were no match for him. Fortunately, the man in black didn't seem to intend to kill; after a brief search of the back mountain, he immediately left. Pierce chased after him with his hammers, ready to fight to the death, but he only managed to slip through their fingers and didn't manage to catch a single hair.
"I understand. You all stay in your positions and step back!"
Sun Fei waved aside his guards and, accompanied by the Big Black [ Black Whirlwind ], carefully examined the traces left by the intruders on the back mountain for a while. However, he ultimately found nothing, and [ Black Whirlwind ]'s keen sense of smell proved useless. Finally, the man and dog stood on a hill on the back mountain, gazing into the distance. The chilly autumn morning wind was biting, carrying withered yellow leaves that danced wildly before their eyes. The golden sunrise bathed the entire Chambord City in the light, making it appear like a golden castle from a myth...
This is a beautiful, tranquil, and picturesque paradise.
It is also Sun Fei's only home on the Azeroth Continent.
"No matter who it is, if they dare to lay a finger on Chambord City, I will mercilessly chop off their dog claws!"
Sun Fei clenched his fists and silently made a vow in his heart.
The cold morning breeze gradually calmed Sun Fei down.
He quickly realized that his previous thinking had led him astray; he had been completely led by the nose. The real reason he had ended up in such a sorry state was simply that he lacked the necessary strength.
Neither Sun Fei personally nor the strength of Chambord City is currently sufficient. Just think, if Sun Fei possessed the strength of Sun-Rank Venerable, and if Chambord City were a level nine empire, who would dare to so openly run rampant within the city?
Therefore, for Sun Fei, the most important thing right now is to strengthen himself and the country.
Then, settle everything with your fists.
Having figured this out, Sun Fei felt a sudden sense of clarity and his thoughts became increasingly sharp. In high spirits, he went directly to the stone hall of the Underground Grotto Labyrinth City, had the guards stand guard outside the door, entered the world of Diablo, and selected [ Assassin Mode ] in front of the 3D holographic projection screen to begin practicing and leveling up the Assassin character.
It took Sun Fei about three hours to complete the four tasks: [ Clear the Den of Evil ], [Killing the Traitor Blood Raven ], [ Rescue Cain ], and [Finding the Magical Hammer]. He leveled up his Assassin character to level 10. During this process, Sun Fei acquired a female mercenary named Ihanla, a young and beautiful Rogue with long blue hair who possessed electric magic arrow skills. As expected, like the mercenaries obtained by other characters besides the Barbarian, Ihanla was dull and lacked independent intelligence and thought; she seemed more like a computer program with only Sun Fei own intelligence.
"This is really strange. Why is it that only the NPCs in the [ Rogue Encampment ] within the Barbarian character's space possess their own intelligence, acting like living, breathing human beings? Meanwhile, in the parallel spaces inhabited by the other six characters— Paladin, Mage, etc.—and even in the [ Lut Gholein ] map within the Barbarian character's space, none of the NPCs possess their own thoughts or intelligence?"
This question lingered in Sun Fei's mind.
After completing the fourth mission in [ Assassin Mode ], Sun Fei, considering the remaining time, didn't continue leveling up. Instead, he switched to [ Barbarian Mode ], spent half an hour learning potion-making skills from Sister Akara, and then found the beautiful blacksmith Charsi.
"Hi, beautiful blacksmith, how's the armor I requested coming along?"
The blacksmith, Charsi, busily wielding her magical hammer by the railway tracks, barely had time to speak. She wiped the glistening sweat from her brow, tossed over a gleaming golden helmet, and continued hammering away at a breastplate, "Knowing that you urgently need this armor, sir, I worked through the night to forge it. Unfortunately, I've only managed to finish one helmet so far..."
Sun Fei caught the helmet that Charsi threw to him, thanked him, and examined it carefully.
This is a golden helmet, with a faint golden aura emanating from it. Its design is not the T-shaped knight's helmet commonly seen on the Azeroth Continent. The entire helmet is as if it were made of gold. Two yellow horns, like bull horns, exude an indescribable aura of dominance and ferocity. A row of slightly shorter golden spikes pierces the sky from the center of the top of the helmet... This helmet has a strange magic. When you stare at it intently, it is as if you see a powerful bull, its horns as hard as steel, charging towards you.
Taurus Helmet!
"Perfect! Haha, absolutely perfect! Charsi, this is exactly the effect I envisioned! Haha, you've perfectly realized my design. You're a true genius in forging!"
20 Defense, with a level 1 Electric Magic Charged Bolt attack.
These are the attributes of the Taurus Helmet.
Although the Taurus Helmet appears somewhat shabby compared to the helmet Sun Fei currently uses, its additional effects are definitely not inferior. Moreover, this is merely a practice piece by Charsi. Currently, she can only use [ Chipped Gem ] to forge magical weapons. Once her forging skills advance to a higher level, enabling her to forge magical weapons using higher-grade gems, she can create armor and helmets with stronger attributes according to Sun Fei's needs. Sun Fei believes that one day, this busty beauty blacksmith will be able to forge the twelve most perfect sets of Gold Cloth for him.
With less than half an hour left, before leaving the Diablo World, Sun Fei busied himself with Charsi, reforging the blue magic sword that Charsi had previously crafted.
The reforged magic sword became a golden longsword, with an ancient and simple design, devoid of any patterns. It had a parallel blade, a long and sharp tip, and a relatively thick blade. The hilt could be gripped with both hands, and the guard was a soaring eagle with outstretched wings. It also had an octagonal counterweight... Under the influence of gems and magical power, the entire sword exuded a strange charm, as if it could cut through any substance.
20 points of attack power, plus 20% attack accuracy.
This is the special property of this golden sword.
Sun Fei stroked the sword's blade, a chilling sensation emanating from his fingertips. "From this day forward, this sword will be called Excalibur!"
The Holy Sword Excalibur, the killing move of the Capricorn Shura, one of the twelve Gold Saint in his previous life, is said to be able to shatter all matter in the world. It is indestructible, bathed in the radiance of the sun and moon, and can split the heavens and the earth. It is an invincible sword that even the gods fear.
Sun Fei hopes that this sword can be continuously upgraded, and one day reach the sharpness of Excalibur.
Having done all this, the time limit for the Diablo World that day had been reached. Before exiting the Diablo World, Sun Fei contacted the mysterious, cold voice in his mind, preparing to try to exchange the Taurus Helmet and Excalibur for the real world.
This was not the first time Sun Fei had exchanged for weapons and equipment.
However, in previous attempts, aside from various potions and gems, scrolls and weapons could not be exchanged. The mysterious, cold voice always gave the answer that "the level is not high enough to exchange for the relevant items." But considering that the Taurus Helmet and Excalibur were new items designed by him and crafted by Charsi, and were not generated in the game, he still wanted to give it a try.
"... Taurus Helmet, 100% success rate, value 10,000 gold coins; Magic Sword Excalibur, 100% success rate, value 10,000 gold coins! Confirm exchange?"
The mysterious, cold voice gave Sun Fei an answer that delighted him.
The success rate of the exchange is 100%! That's simply unbelievable.
Redemption confirmed!
"Exchange calculation in progress... Exchange successful, young warrior Sun Fei, you have triggered one of the three divine skills, [ Grant ], which allows you to Grant the Taurus Helmet and the Magic Sword Excalibur upon someone other than yourself, without restriction."
Sun Fei was overjoyed.
The Underground Grotto Labyrinth City behind Chambord City are a labyrinthine city.
Sun Fei withdrew from the Diablo World and returned to the stone hall.
He thought for a moment, then waved his hand. With a soft buzzing sound, a large sky-blue Teleport appeared in the hall, and the beautiful blacksmith Charsi walked out from it.
"I've found you a group of helpers." Sun Fei smiled and pointed to the blacksmith [ Rock ] Samuel and others who were sweating and forging in the space inside the giant rock mountain outside the hall. He then said to the beautiful blacksmith, "With helpers, perhaps your forging speed will be faster... By the way, if possible, could you give those lads some pointers? Their forging skills are still far from perfect. If you could take them on as apprentices, that would be even better!"
Sun Fei, like a cunning old man with ulterior motives, was tempting Charsi, hoping to give the blacksmiths of Chambord City the opportunity to learn Charsi's high-octane forging techniques.
