[Sword Three] Lord wants to cut the cloud dress

Li Zheng thought that according to the urgent momentum in William III's castle at that time, the catastrophe belonging to the city of St. Raphael should be approaching step by step, and it would appear in front of him soon.However, what he didn't expect was that in the next few days, the entire city of San Raphael had no other movement except for strengthening the defenses near the forest.

There is no chaos from the dark church, and no strange phenomena occur in the city.Everything is quietly excessive.

Such quietness made Li Zheng feel that what happened in the forest was just an illusion.

Bismarck and Li Zheng wandered around the entire city of San Raphael every day.Li Zheng knew that he was trying to find a way to find Randall.However, the Dark Church could hide in the northern continent for such a long time without being discovered, Randall must be cunning and cunning as a bishop.How easy is it to capture him among the tens of thousands of people in the city of San Raphael?

However, Li Zheng did feel that the atmosphere in the city was somewhat different from before.As the area where most of the civilians are located, the central city is home to most of the civilians in San Raphael.But now, even the most bustling Vanna Square rarely sees people.Except for the occasional traveler and adventurer passing by, there is hardly a commoner in sight.Even the shops are much less, and there are no people in sight.

I don't know how Bishop Tim persuaded His Majesty the King, the places along the forest were full of soldiers.These soldiers took turns to stand guard and guarded heavily.And not long after that, the king ordered that some of the checkpoints entering and exiting the city were also closed, and no entry or exit was allowed.For a moment, Li Zheng had the feeling that San Raphael had become an isolated city.

"That's fine, don't let Randall escape from the city." Li Zheng pondered: "But Tim has such a big face? Can the king be persuaded by just one person's opinion?"

Bismarck was cleaning his crystal ball when he heard this question.He arranged the crystal balls in the bag one by one in front of him, and Li Zheng counted them, and there were more than a dozen of the same crystal balls in different colors.

"Raphael's church has grown stronger since the death of William III. The current royal family is largely just a puppet of the Free Church," Bismarck replied.

Li Zheng understood, and also understood why the headquarters of the Free Church in the upper city is so resplendent.

Li Zheng was wandering around the Midtown with Bismarck that day, and when he wanted to see if there was any trace of Randall in the city, he wandered in front of a blacksmith shop.

Probably thinking of the small hammer that was used once, Li Zheng tugged at the corner of Bismarck's clothes, signaling him to stop.Then he approached the blacksmith shop with the blond man behind him.

This is an old blacksmith shop.From the outside, the blacksmith shop looks huge.However, Li Zheng didn't hear the sound of iron striking coming from the shop.Li Zheng stepped forward and looked at the door lock.

There are some traces of rust on the door lock, but it is not locked.Li Zheng knocked on the door and waited for a while, seeing that there was no response from inside, he tried to reach out and push the door open.

"Who?" The voice from inside startled Li Zheng.He thought it was the owner of the blacksmith shop, and when he was about to apologize, he took a closer look, but found that the person standing inside was still an acquaintance.

"I'll go, Nero, why are you here?" The two walked forward.It was the little black man standing inside.Because of the dim light, Li Zheng almost didn't notice him.

Nero inside turned his head with a cold face. Seeing that it was Li Zheng and Bismarck, he put down his guard and didn't speak again, but turned his head again.

Li Zheng was a little strange. He stepped forward and found that Nero was looking at a photo of a middle-aged man.The man in the photo looks extremely strong, holding a small baby in his hands, and next to him is little Nero, who is only about 6 years old, gnawing his fingers and looking at something.

"This is...?" Li Zheng looked at it for a long time, and felt that the man in the photo looked familiar, as if he had seen it there before.

"My father." Nero closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and did not speak for a long time.

After he finally regained his inner emotions, Nero opened his eyes and hung up the photo again: "He is also the owner of this blacksmith shop."

It turns out that this is Nero's home.Li Zheng nodded, only then did he realize where the sense of familiarity brought to him by the man in the photo came from——Jasmine does look a lot like her father, whether it is facial features or demeanor, they are exactly the same.Just looking at the photo of this middle-aged man, one can imagine how charming Jasmine would be when she was 30 years old.

While thinking this way, Li Zheng looked around.However, he soon realized that something was wrong.Although the surrounding blacksmithing tools and blacksmithing tables looked spotless, they had obviously not been used for a long time.Even the furnace inside was icy cold, without any remains of fire ink in it, it was too clean.

"He..." Li Zheng had a guess in his mind.

"He has been dead for many years. No one here has been blacksmithing since he left." After finishing speaking, Nero looked at Li Zheng: "What are you doing here?"

"Ah." Originally, Li Zheng just wanted to borrow the blacksmith's blacksmithing platform to try out those weird weapons in the casting menu.But since this place belongs to Nero's deceased father, he couldn't bear to make such a request to him...

"us......"

"Borrow the blacksmithing platform, right?" Nero seemed to have seen through Li Zheng's thoughts, "I heard Kanruila mention that you seem to be good at blacksmithing."

"Yes..." Li Zheng looked to the side with some embarrassment.Compared to a professional blacksmith like Nero's father, he who can only "read" almost seems to be cheating: "If you don't want to..."

"Use it." Nero touched the smooth blacksmithing platform, waved his hand and said, "If it can be re-burned here, I think my father will be very happy."

After saying this, Nero went upstairs, said "you can do whatever you want" and ignored the two people who stayed in the blacksmith shop.

Seeing Nero being so generous, Li Zheng naturally stopped being polite.He folded his hands towards the photo of Nero hanging on the wall, bowed respectfully and thanked the old Hefraus in his heart, then turned to Bismarck and said: "I may need a while here. Time, are you going to continue walking on the street, or...?"

Bismarck shook his head: "I'm here to accompany you." After speaking, he casually found a chair behind Li Zheng and sat down.

Said to accompany Li Zheng, but in fact Bismarck himself really didn't want to leave him.After all, although the two are indeed dating, the way they get along is not much different from before.Bismarck has always had no expression on his face, and he doesn't like to reveal his inner thoughts when he speaks.But even he wants to be with Li Zheng as much as possible.

Seeing that Bismarck had already made up his mind to stay, Li Zheng stopped pushing, turned around and picked up the fire ink and hammer, looking through the materials in the iron shop and his own casting list.

Sitting behind Li Zheng, Bismarck has been very quiet.Li Zheng, who was concentrating on blacksmithing, also changed his usual habit of chattering and complaining, and kept silent.Apart from the tinkling of Li Zheng's forging of iron and the crackling of the stove, there was no other sound in the air.

During this time, both Hesberg's disappearance and the traces of the Dark Church bothered him.The crisis that was imminent in the dark made him unable to sleep peacefully.Fortunately, he himself doesn't need a long sleep, so he doesn't usually see fatigue.However, at this time, probably because the fire in the stove reflected on Li Zheng's back, which seemed too peaceful, Bismarck actually felt a little sleepy.

Bismarck rested his head on his hands and looked at the man in front of him.Probably because his heart gradually calmed down, the man closed his eyes at some point and fell asleep.

Even though he was just sitting, even though he was still holding his head, Bismarck didn't seem to have had such a deep sleep for a long time.He didn't know how long he had been asleep, until Li Zheng came over and shook him, he gradually woke up from his sleep.And the originally bright sky outside the window had completely darkened at some point.

As soon as he woke up, Li Zheng took out a staff like offering a treasure.

"How is it? I just made it~"

Bismarck was still dizzy from falling asleep.He squeezed his eyes, and took hold of the magic staff that Li Zheng handed over.However, as soon as he held it, the huge energy from the staff woke him up.

"This......"

His eyes widened.If the mental power determines the amount of mage's energy, the staff determines how much mage's energy can be converted.The staff he has always used is the standard staff.Because there are too few mages in the Twin Continent, most mages basically use this kind of staff.This kind of staff has no problem for him in normal state.But once another self appears, the energy conversion will be too large, and the crystal ball on the staff cannot withstand his huge energy and will directly shatter.

That's why, he must bring dozens of crystal balls with him just in case.

But if it's the staff in front of me...

"What's wrong? Can't you do it?" Li Zheng tilted his head and looked at Bismarck with a serious expression, feeling a little nervous.

After all, this was his first time making a weapon.Because I didn't know what to do, I chose the staff that Bismarck could use.But he is not a mage after all, and he doesn't know what the staff is like.Therefore, the only thing he could do was to look at Bismarck anxiously.

"No." Bismarck looked at him and shook his head.

"That......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw that Bismarck had stood up and put the staff in his arms like a treasure.

"I will cherish it." He said, the seriousness in his eyes moved Li Zheng a little.He leaned forward, not knowing how to express the emotion in his heart. The blond man could only gently kiss Li Zheng's face: "You never think how important it is to me."

At the same time, outside the city of San Raphael.

A man in a black robe stood in front of a group of zombies, looking at the completely black crystal ball in his hand.He couldn't restrain the ecstasy in his heart, and laughed loudly on his back.

This cold laughter seemed to be a sharp knife, piercing the originally peaceful night.

"Disaster is about to strike."
