Arknights' Lock of Heaven

Are all these old-fashioned methods this brutal?

That's right, in Nian's mind, Xia Yu is already an ancient relic that survived from the most ancient times.

After all, in this day and age, where would a creator god grant you such a feat?

In addition, Nian also investigated some matters concerning Xia Yu and obtained a photo of him when he first arrived at Rhodes Island from Kal'tsit.

The extremely ancient clothing that Xia Yu is wearing further proves this point.

Of course, since that's what she thought, Xia Yu was happy to see it happen and wouldn't try to correct her.

However, she did wrong Xia Yu a bit; Kosichek's injuries were not inflicted by him.

It was caused by Amiya's beam attack.

A super ferocious bunny!

“Let me clarify,” Xia Yu said, a slight smile playing on her lips as she saw Nian’s actions. “The injuries on His body weren’t inflicted by me; Amiya did it.”

"Really?" Miss Nian asked skeptically. "Is Amiya really that strong?"

“Of course it’s true,” Xia Yu smiled sincerely. “I only provided a weapon; Amiya did the rest.”

'I knew it,' Nian shuddered again. How could such a well-behaved bunny like Amiya be so ferocious? It must be a problem with that so-called weapon.

But speaking of weapons... my hands are itching again, and my heart is starting to itch too.

Just then, Xia Yu had already set up her hot pot.

He smiled slightly at Nian, who was leaning against the doorframe, and asked, "Want to eat together?"

"eat!"

Can anyone resist super spicy hot pot?

No.

Moreover, she probably guessed that she couldn't avoid it; this person had come for her today.

Her intuition was right.

Xia Yu did indeed come with the intention of building a good relationship with Nian.

There was no other reason; it was simply that my boss paid me the right salary.

Extremely generous salary.

The eternal treasure of the king!

Although everyone who sees Gilgamesh's attack style might secretly curse how incredibly extravagant it is, who wouldn't envy it?

He's really handsome!

That's right! After crushing Kosichek, Terra generously awarded Xia Yu this bonus.

Koschke invested a great deal in Talulah, even giving her a large portion of his soul.

Unfortunately, because she hadn't completely taken over the body, Talulah began to resist, and so she fell helplessly to Rabbit's sword.

So here's the question: where did Rabbit get her sword?

Of course, it was Xia Yu who gave it to him. In addition, he even captured a small portion of the soul that had escaped from the majority of the soul. If the remaining part of Kosich's soul, which is hiding somewhere, doesn't want to die completely, it will probably hide for thousands of years.

After all, he has quite a few enemies.

So Terra generously granted Xia Yu the concept of the Gate of Babylon, and then made it permanent in this world.

From now on, Xia Yu won't need to bring luggage when she goes out!

Whoops, just kidding.

But since it's a pirated version of the King's Treasury, having a warehouse is enough; don't even think about the majority of the treasures and the mountains of riches inside.

A half-dead Koschke isn't worth that price.

Therefore, if Xia Yu wants to recreate Wang Cai's glory, she has no choice but to rely on her own efforts.

He does have a simple way to combine the pseudo-spiritual foundation and the King's Treasury, but there is a key problem.

Not enough magic power...

It's not that he doesn't have enough, it's just that they're all disposable. If he wants to use them again after one use, he has to condense them again... He doesn't have enough magic power to waste like that.

It is in such situations that the value of a master blacksmith becomes apparent.

Especially forging masters of this caliber!

86 Stayed on Rhode Island

If a weapon can be forged that is strong enough to bear the power of the original, then there is no need to expend magic to re-condense it every time; only the magic that initially gave the weapon its concept is needed.

For Xia Yu, who currently lacks magic power, this is the best choice.

Moreover, the processing of this Kosicchi soul in my hands also requires Nian's help.

Xia Yu didn't intend to make a purely magical costume. Since she had come to Terra, she naturally wanted to adapt to local customs and incorporate the local forging techniques.

This also allows us to assess just how much a mythical creature like Nian could actually accomplish.

In conclusion, that's why we're having this hot pot today.

Of course, the most important thing is to make myself happy.

"So, you need a whole bunch of weapons?"

Nian looked at Xia Yu suspiciously, but her hands were indeed not slow at all. She quickly picked up a piece of scalding brown beef from the boiling soup pot.

"You need weapons?" she asked, stuffing beef into her mouth while scrutinizing Xia Yu.

The implication is: Is there a weapon better than yourself?

“Well, how should I put it,” Xia Yu scratched her head in distress, a chain emerging from her sleeve, “it is indeed very useful, but it’s just too easy to spot.”

"Sometimes, it's not convenient to leave behind some... evidence, you know?"

I understand, of course I understand. It's just doing shady work and using alternate accounts. Which of us old fogies still living in this world doesn't have an alternate account that's inconvenient for us to show our faces?

"How many do you need?" Hearing this, Nian temporarily relaxed and started to get excited when talking about his old profession. "Do you want swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks? Let me make it clear beforehand, this is not a free service."

"This is a bespoke project; even fellow villagers can't get a discount."

"How many can you make?" Xia Yu pondered for a moment before replying, "There are... many kinds. I need to think about it carefully."

"As for the specific number... it should be at least several hundred pieces, um, at least."

when!

The chopsticks that were reaching for the boiling hot pot slipped from the hand and tapped crisply on the table.

She stared in disbelief at Xia Yu across from her.

"Several...hundreds of pieces? Or at least???"

"Let me ask first, what are the quality requirements..."

If it were a high-quality weapon in the eyes of an ordinary person, even hundreds of pieces wouldn't make them blink twice.

But is this person an ordinary person? Could the weapon he wants be a high-quality item in the eyes of an ordinary person?

"It shouldn't be lower than this level," Xia Yu casually projected a crimson spear and handed it to Nian.

The spear that pierces through death.

"This...this kind of thing..."

Nian felt the restless magic emanating from the spear in his hand.

It's not that she can't create it.

After all, this isn't the original text of a Noble Phantasm, just a projection, so the requirements aren't that high.

But even if it's just a projection, it's still a treasure...

Hundreds of items... This is going to kill me!

That year, we almost had to roll up our sleeves and fight to the death with the other side.

But as soon as I looked up, I saw the Heavenly Lock gleaming with a brilliant golden light...

Forget it, I can’t beat him.

“Um,” Xia Yu noticed that Nian’s expression was getting worse and worse. She mentally assessed the abilities of these mythical creatures and then explained, “Of course, this is a continuous commission, with no time limit.”

"As you know, time doesn't mean much to us, and I'm not in a hurry to use it."

"Phew, that's good," Nian breathed a sigh of relief, no longer having the idea of ​​locking himself in the forging workshop day and night without seeing the light of day.

“Besides, even if you can finish all the necessary weapons in a few days, I don’t have that much money to pay for them all at once,” Xia Yu smiled. “Take your time.”

"I'm not in a hurry."

"You should have said so earlier," Nian rolled her eyes at Xia Yu, "You scared me to death."

"Let's talk about compensation now."
