Chapter 344: Hobbit!

First floor of the Tower of Seals.

Inside the Molten Fire Arsenal.

Ye Qiu arrived late, some players were already here.

There were still many weapons here as players brought their own, but all the armor was gone.

At the same time, the epic-level Violet Gold Sword in Hobbit’s hand was also gone.

But the dwarf Hobbit was still in statue form.

Ye Qiu’s fingers gently touched Hobbit’s stone-like face, "Lu Qing, do you think you can just let go whenever you want? You are too naive, humans won’t let you go."

"I already told you what would happen if you go back."

Ye Qiu suddenly waved his hand and tapped Hobbit on the head.

Crack!

Cracks spread across Hobbit’s stone-like body in an instant!

Then, the mud on the statue’s body began to peel off like pieces of tiles.

Soon, a short, slightly chubby dwarf with a beard appeared in front of Ye Qiu.

"Hmm… the petrification spell has been lifted, who has awakened me?"

Hobbit looked up and saw Ye Qiu, "Not very exciting to wake up and see a human first thing."

Ye Qiu’s eyes showed a hint of anger, "Do you remember who I am? Do you remember… what happened before?"

Hobbit scratched his head, "What are you talking about?"

Ye Qiu put away his murderous gaze, then took out ten silver coins and placed them on the nearby anvil.

Those who defeat the Wolf Lord will receive a reward of thirty silver coins, that part has certainly not changed.

There is also a hundred-year soul lifespan.

However, unlike game time, people’s initial soul lifespan is no longer just ten years.

It is now a random number.

Ranging from a minimum of 1 year to a maximum of 200 years.

Ye Qiu’s initial soul lifespan is not much, it is 85 years.

Adding this 100 years makes a total of 185 years exactly.

Ye Qiu showed his dagger to Hobbit and asked, "Can you help me work on this?"

"This is…"

Hobbit inspected the dagger and said, "The steel is good, but the craftsmanship doesn’t seem human-made…"

"Do I still have any weapons outside?"

Ye Qiu glanced and said, "Yes."

Hobbit went to the main hall, fetched a steel sword, and remarked, "Hmm, bunch of ignorants took the trash away, leaving behind the best quality."

Unlike in games, where players can see item details, in reality, everyone is just ordinary people.

It’s no longer possible to rely solely on information to distinguish good from bad.

Therefore, when facing the same weapon, players can only rely on their own eyes to distinguish the quality of the weapon.

"You lucked out, so tell me, how do you want to modify it?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiu took out his phone and quickly drew a design for Hobbit to see.

Hobbit became interested when he saw the phone, "What is this?"

"You don’t need to worry about that. Can you make the weapon that I drew on it?" Ye Qiu pointed to the sketch on his phone.

Hobbit stayed silent for a moment, "Is the empty space in the middle a blood groove?"

Ye Qiu nodded, Hobbit looked again, "Such a strange design, why is one side of the sword made serrated?"

"If this sword is used to stab, the serrations will firmly grip the flesh, making it difficult to pull out."

"Also, at the handle of the sword, there is a small sword coming out from the back. This design is similar to a double-edged sword, but because it’s too short, one might accidentally injure oneself…"

Ye Qiu heard Hobbit’s words and took out 5 silver coins, "Can you do it or not?"

Hobbit squinted his eyes, "I can do it, but it will take some time. Come back in seven days to collect it, I will try my best to make it perfect."

"But may I ask, what is this sword for?"

Ye Qiu picked up the military dagger he had before and put it by his waist, "Weapons are mainly for hurting or killing people."

Hobbit shook his head, "No, the purpose of a weapon is determined by humans. In the hands of a knight, a weapon is for protection, while in the hands of a farmer, it is a tool."

Ye Qiu frowned, "A knight’s sword can also be used to kill enemies, just like tools."

"Young man, your thoughts are very dangerous. If everyone thinks like you, there will be endless slaughter in this world," Hobbit said, shaking his head again.

Ye Qiu looked at Hobbit for a moment, then turned and walked away.

"Why do you want to forge weapons then?"

"Some people say that holding a sharp weapon will trigger a desire to kill, but it’s not true. Even without weapons, people can still start wars and cause killings with their fists."

。。。

It’s getting dark.

Inside the camp outside the tower.

Countless people are gathered here, around the campfire, around the electric lights. Some people are shaking, some are smoking pipes.

Some people are glad they survived, some are bragging about fighting off those demon beasts, saying it wasn’t scary at all.

"I think you’re just a coward!"

"Stop talking nonsense, today during the day, I almost had my head bitten off by that lion!"

"The daytime was really terrifying…"

"If I was still in the game, I would have killed all the Meteor Shower!"

"Hehe…"

"Are the troops still in the tower?"

"Yes, the troops have set up camp in the tower."

"Have troops from other countries come too?"

"Yes, during the day there are two groups of people."

"With them here, the first level should be much safer."

"I don’t think so."

"Hmm?"

"With the army around, it’s rare for us to find stranges…"

"At this point, are you still thinking about these things?!"

"Then what do I think?!"

"The army has powerful weapons, so it’s easy to deal with these demon beasts, but what benefit does it have for us?"

"The army holds soul lifespans, making them stronger and stronger…"

"Isn’t that good?"

"Good… but not entirely good."

"Don’t forget why we came here."

"Shh!"

"The three brothers came seeking adventure. Truth be told, the future world is going to become like a game, where the strong are respected."

"By that time, if you don’t have any real skills, you’ll end up being the lowest of the low, looking foolish!"

"Hmm…"

"Have you read any novels? Have you read any comics?"

"Is it really going to turn out like this…"

"Not afraid of ten thousand, just afraid of that one time!"

。。。

"Old Fang, how’s your injury?"

"It’s fine, I’ve just been inactive for too long, my reactions are a bit slow."

"After all, Old Fang is not like us. He doesn’t use positioning strategy as a wizard, so over time his reaction speed will slow down for sure."

"That’s true…"

"So what do we do now? Just follow behind the army and fight small monsters every day?"

"How about trying the dungeon outside the tower?"

"No, it’s too risky with our current strength. Let’s wait until we level up first."

"We will be fine, but Old Fang, do you still need to consider six different schools of magic?"

"Hmm."

"Have you thought about what to do if there’s a conflict with Magic Potions and you explode?"

"Don’t worry, I have a talent for that."

"Huh?"

"That person…"

By the fire pit, Fang Ze noticed someone in the crowd.

The person was wearing a wolf head gold ring!

"That is!"

"How can it be?!"

"Am I seeing clearly, a legendary level ring, Conspiracy Wolf Lord’s Hatred?"

"It can’t be a fake bought on Pinduoduo, can it?"

"Doesn’t seem like it…"

"So, someone has killed the Wolf Lord?!"
