Chapter 3 Stone Swords and Knights

In the smoky backyard, Zhao Yanxiang lifted the scarred girl and said, "Hey! Wake up! Hey! Wake up!"

When Zhao Yanxiang reached out to touch the girl's cheek, the girl suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Zhao Yanxiang and said, "Who!"

Zhao Yanxiang looked at the girl and said, "I'm Zhao Yanxiang, why did you end up at my house? Did something happen while skydiving?"

The girl sat up and looked at Zhao Yanxiang vigilantly and said, "No! I won't tell you... I am..."

Looking at the girl, Zhao Yanxiang shrugged and said, "Think slowly! By the way! I'll get you something to eat!"

As soon as Zhao Yanxiang finished speaking, the girl looked at Zhao Yanxiang vigilantly and said, "No need! That's right! Tell me!"

The girl stood up and grabbed Zhao Yanxiang and asked with a puzzled face, "Did you touch my things before I woke up?"

Zhao Yanxiang shook his head and said, "No! I heard the explosion and woke you up two or three minutes ago!"

After thinking for a moment, the girl shouted in pain: "Who am I? Tell me... Did you do something to me!"

Just as Zhao Yanxiang was about to say something, the girl in front of her fell straight to the ground like a machine that had lost its energy.

Seeing that the girl's head was about to make intimate contact with the earth, Zhao Yanxiang reached out and hugged the girl's body.

Just when Zhao Yanxiang was about to enter the house with the girl in his arms, a dagger grazed Zhao Yanxiang's scalp and shot into the ground.

Zhao Yanxiang turned his head to look at the boy who was throwing a dagger behind his back and said, "It's too much! Boy! Do you have to force me to beat you up?"

The boy sneered while throwing the second dagger: "A person with superpowers can do whatever they want! Die to me!"

Zhao Yanxiang dodged the dagger sideways and said, "A group of brats! Although the law and order here is very poor..."

Zhao Yanxiang kicked the dagger at his feet and said, "Hey! That's enough! Are you itchy? Have you cleaned up yet?"

The boy sneered and said, "Guess! Happy! My uncle is a superpower! You can do whatever you want!"

Zhao Yanxiang looked at the dagger he kicked out and muttered, "Super power? I'm still... Well! New trouble?"

Before Zhao Yanxiang could say anything, a maid quickly disappeared in front of Zhao Yanxiang after knocking out the young man with a knife in one hand.

Zhao Yanxiang looked at the place where the boy and the maid disappeared with a masked face and muttered, "Am I crazy? Or is the world crazy?"

Half an hour later, Zhao Yanxiang looked at the unconscious girl and said, "Are you still in a coma? I'd better continue to study the system!"

Zhao Yanxiang looked at the synthesis table after putting it down and said, "Wooden sword? Can't be synthesized? Because there is a craftsman's soul? What about the stone sword?"

I don't know how long it has passed, Zhao Yanxiang looked at the synthesis table and muttered: "Is there really a craftsman's spirit? Diamond tools are all synthetic!"

As soon as Zhao Yanxiang finished speaking, a girl's voice suddenly came from behind: "You! Did you do something to me! Tell me!"

Zhao Yanxiang turned around and looked at the girl and said, "I'm not interested in A! If it wasn't out of kindness! You would have been thrown out by me long ago!"

The girl froze for a moment and then said, "I am the knight of the Duke of Canaan! Can you send me back? Dear Mr. Mage!"

Zhao Yanxiang shook his head and said, "First! I'm not a mage! Second! I don't have time to send you to Canaan..."

The girl looked at Zhao Yanxiang and was silent for a moment before saying, "I know I've made things difficult for you! But please listen to me! I..."

Zhao Yanxiang waved his hand and said: "I'm not in trouble! Now I...wait! Craftsman Soul may be able... I still have something to do! If you recover, you can leave by yourself! Understand? (OS: Hurry up and get Craftsman Soul The furnace inside!)”

The girl looked at Zhao Yanxiang who stood up and said nervously: "I really need your help! Please help me! Mr. Cube Mage... My name is... Wait! Please listen to me!"

Not long after Zhao Yanxiang walked out of the room, the girl looked at the door and sighed, "Could it be that my choice was wrong? Our hope!"

Fifteen minutes later, Zhao Yanxiang stood in front of a huge black 'building' with a stone in his hand and muttered, "The furnace is finally finished!"

Zhao Yanxiang looked at the dark furnace and muttered: "The craftsman's soul furnace can melt metal! I still have...en..."

This is a girl's voice behind Zhao Yanxiang: "Are you here? I really need your help! Please!"

Zhao Yanxiang sighed: "I don't even know how to help you! One more thing! I just made a craftsman's soul! I have no ability to help you!"

The girl shook her head and said, "I can help you! As long as you promise to help me save you after you become a strong..."

Zhao Yanxiang smiled wryly and said, "Okay, okay! I've convinced you! What can you help me now? It must not be cooking!"

The girl blushed and said, "I can help you collect some supplies! I can protect you! By the way! My name is Lian!"

Zhao Yanxiang said while fiddling with the grinding tool: "I'd better research the conversion table early and speed up the development!"

When Zhao Yanxiang began to speed up his progress, the girl who ordered the furniture came to a certain villa and said, "Where is Master Lu?"

The strong man guarding the gate said: "Master Lu didn't come! Maybe it was delayed by something! Or maybe he went to take care of him!"

After a moment of silence, the girl said: "Why is he important? You haven't told me what his name is!"

The strong man who guarded the gate shook his head and said: "Master Lu won't let you talk! And Blood Crow! You haven't taken care of your own affairs, have you?"

Blood Crow sighed and then said: "If Master Lu didn't agree back then! I would also participate in that matter! I might..."

The strong man guarding the gate sneered and said, "Stop making trouble! With your little ability? How can you help? It's almost enough to make trouble!"

As soon as the strong man guarding the gate finished speaking, a man in a suit held a dagger against the strong man's neck and said, "Say it again?"

After the gatekeeper's skin turned golden, he punched the man in the suit flying away and said, "It's the same a few times!"

Blood Crow looked at the man in suit and frowned and said, "That's enough! It's not your turn to ask about this matter! It's the same thing back then!"

The man in the suit patted the dust off his body and said, "You are my fiancee! Is it wrong for me to protect you?"

Blood Crow glared at the man in the suit and said, "I'm not! And you don't even think about it! Your Nangong family has a big business! How could you have my place... So! Please don't pester me anymore! Nangong asked!"

Nangong Wen looked at the blood crow and was silent for a moment, then left with a gloomy face. . .
