4.15 The ultimate use of the tongue
Using the same trick again, using the Soul-Devouring Virus to deal with the ghost guarding the foyer, Wu Chen finally stepped out of the main fort.
The courtyard under the setting sun is quiet and graceful. Through the closed iron fence at the entrance, Wu Chen can even look at the grass and forests when he comes. Of course, there is also the Office of the Captain's Office with the lights on.
The Blacksmith shop is an auxiliary building of the castle and one of the indispensable buildings in the era of cold weapons. Along the courtyard and to the back of the main building of the castle, Wu Chen soon discovered the target. Surprisingly, except for the extinguished stove and cold anvil that emitted residual heat, the Blacksmith shop was left unguarded.
"In addition to the extinguished stove, we also found a crucible, which is a necessary prop for smelting the silver cross." Tt40 sorted out and found: "The fire can be lit with strong wine. Avira's storage room has ready-made reserves, and we also need long-handled iron pliers, anti-scalding gloves and iron hammers. The long-handled iron pliers are placed in the dungeon torture room, and anti-scalding gloves are in the kitchen. The whereabouts of the large hammer may be asked about Avira. Of course, what we need most is actually molds."
Wu Chen nodded immediately, "The mold for forging crossbow arrows."
"For the accuracy of shooting, I suggest looking for an ordinary crossbow arrow to imitate it."
"No problem." Wu Chen was about to ask Avira, maybe she knew the whereabouts of the crossbow arrow. Of course, he had to go to the dungeon to get a iron pliers and enough charcoal. The dungeon had been cleared by him before and had no obstacles. With his bulging backpack, Wu Chen returned to the lord's kitchen.
During this period, he heard another loud wolf howl.
"The broth is cooked, and it seems that the guests can't wait." Seeing Wu Chen flashing in, Avira said hurriedly.
"I need some time." Wu Chen signaled her to calm down, and pointed to the crossbow behind her and asked, "Do you know where to find crossbow arrows?"
"Bar or guest room. I remember that guests took it to the shooting range for training, and some people used it to replace the darts competition." Avira spoke quickly.
"Okay." Wu Chen was about to turn around, but Avira, who remembered something, hurriedly reminded, "Wu, don't go to the first room on the left of the bar."
"What's wrong?"
"She was the last guest to check in before the castle supernatural incident. And since that day, she has been living in the castle safely. It seems that all the evil creatures do not exist. Almost every night, I can hear the sound of high heels hitting the ground."
"Are you sure it's her?" Wu Chen asked.
"Confirm." Avira nodded gently: "Believe me, this is a woman's intuition. I can't remember the high-end custom high heels she wears and the unique footsteps."
Wu Chen nodded, "Is footsteps only at night?"
"Yes. She only visited the castle at night." Avira read out the deep meaning of Wu Chen's question, and then added: "And it was dusk that day. The car that sent her was closed tightly and she was also pulling thick sunshades."
"Okay, Avira." Wu Chen asked again: "Where will the blacksmith shop's hammer be?"
"The gardener took it some time ago." Avira knew indeed, "It should still be in the gardener's cottage."
When he left, Wu Chen asked last: "Avira, as far as you know, how can you kill a vampire."
"Burn with fire, insert sharpened white oak into the vampire's heart, cut off the vampire's head, and finally the sunlight." Avira blurted out.
After weighing the pros and cons, Wu Chen chose the second plan, "Where can I find white oak?"
"Flower Garden Maze." Avira was not surprised by Wu Chen's choice: "The last white oak in the castle also died many years ago. The only thing that remains is the table made of white oak stumps by the gardener."
"Flower Garden." Wu Chen then determined the newly unlocked adventure coordinates on the panoramic map in his mind.
"Wu Chen, there are many ugly goblins hidden in the maze of the flowerbed. They dig holes in the bushes to settle down. Don't underestimate them. It seems that they are not afraid of anything except flames."
"Flame?" Wu Chen thought for a moment, then smiled the winner. "Avira, don't you mind going into the storage room again?"
The skeleton demon guard guarding the side door of the castle was kicked by Newman in heavy armor. Stepping on the sunset, Wu Chen walked into the castle garden separated by a wall. Lush shrubs and flowers quickly filled his sight. The tt40 prompts received were also increasing.
"What a pity, I don't know the name of these herbs." With the special energy fluctuations, tt40 identified many useful medicinal materials, but I don't know what the collected materials are for.
Wu Chen immediately found out Avira's magic book in his mind. He found a magic potion recipe:
Herbal honey
Elements required: Honey and hay
Take a handful of hay and boil the juice for 20 minutes, filter out the juice, add honey and stir until it dissolves, and transfer after cooling. Allow to complete this delicious medicine for 30 minutes.
After taking it, a 'natural resume' can be formed in the user's mind to obtain the real names of all plants.
"These two materials do not seem to be complicated." Tt40 signaled Wu Chen to turn his eyes to a blooming rose flower. It turned out that there was a hardworking little bee entrenched in the stamens. With the help of Tt40, Wu Chen easily found the huge hive on the tree branch not far away. With the protection of the breeding suit disguised as a suit, Wu Chen was not afraid of the bee sting and climbed up to pick half a bottle of honey.
"Where is the hay?" Waving his hand to drive away the bee swarm that was buzzing and constantly flying around, Wu Chen jumped down, and several people hid in the bushes and escaped from the bees' attack circle.
"Stable." tt40 answered very simply.
"It's true." Lying in the bushes, Wu Chen quietly turned over: "All the key collections are tied up one by one. If you want to go down, you must solve the trouble in the stable."
"First go to the Gardener's House and find the white oak and the blacksmith's hammer." Along the tt40's mark, Wu Chen soon came to the garden maze constructed by shrub walls.
The familiar scenes did not bother Wu Chen too much.
Trimming flowers and trees into walls and then building a maze with geometric beauty is also the basic craft of Western horticulturalists. There is nothing to be surprised. However, before he could step into the maze, the shaking vibration began from the side wall and spread rapidly to the depths of the flower wall along the vertical and horizontal geometric lines.
Soon, the gurgling screams sounded with the sound of running. Looking at the shaking green wall, Wu Chen took out the bottle of strong wine with his back hand and lit the strip of cloth that blocked the mouth of the bottle.
The moment the monster rushed out, Wu Chen suddenly threw out the fire bottle!
Bang!
The spirits shattered head-on, and the splashed wine instantly ignited a fire, swallowing the entire exit!
The pointed wood thrown out was weakly inserted beside Wu Chen. Several goblins burned into a fire, still rolling and wailing in the fire. The fur had been incinerated, and the flames were kissing and licking the explosive skin, drilling into the chest cavity, and squeezed out a stream of oil with a strange fragrance... From the goblins who were burning with all their internal organs, Wu Chen even smelled the smell of roasted lamb chops.
"Doesn't geo-actuarials be considered humanoid?" Wu Chen asked with a piece of roasted ribs and swallowed his saliva.
"Yes." After being dispelled by tt40's determination, Wu Chen gritted his teeth and held back, watching the delicious food burned into ashes.
The goblins' sneak attacks continued, but they were all repelled by Wu Chen with a fire bottle thrown.
The raging fire that burned monsters also marked Wu Chen's path to the depths of the maze. When the last ray of sunset dyed the horizon red, Wu Chen finally crossed the maze and came to the gardener's hut built beside the thick wall.
Before he could approach, a strong smell of blood came from behind the hidden wooden door. Obviously, the brutal goblins had visited here first. On guard, pushing open the door, the old gardener's body fell to death in the room without any accident. His body was pressed underground by the heavy tabletop, and the blood that had not solidified slowly overflowed in the bitten throat, dyeing the entire ground red.
Looking around the room, Wu Chen turned his eyes to the log table pressing against the gardener's body, the white oak stump he was looking for.
Cut off a table leg, stuffed the plants marked by TT40 in the window into the backpack, and finally carried the hammer standing behind the door. Wu Chen did not stop and ran out. He wanted to return to the castle before sunset.
However, time did not give him enough patience. When he rushed into the castle, the last ray of sunset also settled from the horizon.
With the drum beats agreed between the two, Avira's vigilant and joyful face immediately appeared behind the door.
"Thank God, you're back."
Wu Chen nodded quickly and flicked into the kitchen. "Avira, hurry up, send the broth."
"I had asked Newman to send it to you a quarter of an hour ago." Avira quickly locked the door, and she turned around with a smile, "I'll get the bow and arrow you want for you."
"That's great!" Wu Chen couldn't help but breathe a long sigh, "I'm worried about this." Then he suddenly changed color, "Avira, have you gone to the guest room?"
"Yeah." Avira read Wu Chen's concern, then smiled and whispered to the shrine, "I passed through the secret passage. Most of these ancient secret passages have been changed into ventilation ducts, together with the various rooms in the castle. I was worried that she would wake up, so I quietly went there before the sun set, but fortunately she was not alarmed."
"I understand." Wu Chen couldn't help but remind: "It's best to do less risky things."
"Okay, Wu, Wu Chen." Avila replied softly after reading the worry in Wu Chen's expression.
With the crossbow arrows, Wu Chen finally got all the materials needed to forge silver arrows. He quickly filled his stomach and came to the blacksmith shop with a large bag of forging. Although he had never experienced forging related work before, the technical home with extremely strong hands-on skills still used a rough embryo that was closer to success every time and had initially mastered the mold making technology.
After the most perfect mud mold was made, the crucible also melted the silver cross into a pot of red water.
Plug up the crucible with iron pliers, carefully inject silver water into the pre-left holes on the mud embryo, and fill the entire mold through the connected grooves.
Soon, accompanied by rising smoke and the flames, silver water overflowed from the hole. Wu Chen put the crucible back into the furnace, took a mold, and repeated the previous operation. When the silver was exhausted, Wu Chen obtained three silver arrow embryos as he wished. He erased the excess adhesions and edges, and then polished and processed by the grinding wheel, and the silver crossbow arrow was finally declared complete.
"Now, we need to find another bowstring that is tough enough." Wu Chen said with his eyes as if he was holding the crossbow and the silver arrow. (To be continued.)
