NOVEL WEB chapter 122
122. This Is Just to Limit the Protagonist
Shocking, a noble girl actually learns to uphold righteousness from the world-ending villain!
Wouldn’t this headline sell like crazy if it were in the newspapers?!
Goodness, you’re turning right into wrong, taking the villainous as virtuous.
Lin Nuo felt it necessary to dissuade this naive girl from straying off the path.
“Why do you think he’s definitely helping you? And why do you believe he’s acting heroically?” Lin Nuo asked.
“Isn’t he?” Luo Xiaoxue replied, “I’m the one involved, I know best. He’s helping me, there’s no doubt about it.”
“Such naive thoughts.”
“Do you know who I’m talking about, Mr. Lin? Or are you the person in question?”
“I have nothing to do with him, I’m just reminding you.”
“Then thank you for your reminder, Mr. Lin, but my resolve won’t change easily. Besides, there’s nothing wrong with being heroic; it’s a concept everyone respects.”
Luo Xiaoxue spoke with determination. Don’t be fooled by her delicate appearance; she’s quite stubborn and won’t easily change her decisions.
Lin Nuo wasn’t one to nag or pester endlessly. After a few fruitless attempts, and even suspecting that Luo Yi was testing him, he dropped the subject.
“Fine, go ahead and champion justice, let’s see how capable a frail girl like you is, just don’t get killed someday.”
Lin Nuo tapped the charred earth with his cane, then looked around; all was calm.
Speaking of which, I haven’t seen Su Kexin and Liu Shuqin today. They had been taking care of him before, and since he had slipped out on purpose today, they should have followed.
“Have you seen my senior and junior sisters?”
“They went to where the meteorite fell.”
Luo Xiaoxue pointed to the charred earth ahead.
“They went there?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Nuo had an ominous premonition.
“Yes, they just left not long ago, you were already asleep,” Luo Xiaoxue replied.
God damn asleep, I was feigning sleep.
Lin Nuo’s gaze returned to the charred earth in front.
“I’ll go over there.”
Lin Nuo proceeded with his cane.
“I’ll go with you.”
Luo Xiaoxue followed Lin Nuo.
After a long while, the two approached a vast crater, where a giant charred boulder lay, surrounded by charred earth. A breeze brought the unpleasant smell of burnt soil, and not just that, black ash and other burnt debris flew towards them.
But Lin Nuo didn’t mind; coming to the burnt land alone wasn’t new to him, after all, in his past life, burning and looting were the norm, casually engulfing a city in flames, eventually turning it to ash.
That boulder was the “Heavenly Fire,” currently as big as several football fields, but it seemed minuscule compared to the area it destroyed upon impact.
Around the “Heavenly Fire” meteorite, various strange ores and crystals were scattered, which, to his modern mind, were extremely precious on Earth.
Lin Nuo’s face darkened upon seeing those ores.
Fire candlestone, black forge stone, and the like, these materials were well-suited for sword forging or enhancing spirit swords.
However, these materials were scarce, and even with money, they were hard to come by. In the Xuan Yun Sect, such materials were used sparingly.
Fortunately, these materials were scattered about, and even if used to enhance spirit swords, their scattered nature meant they wouldn’t be very effective.
Lin Nuo continued forward, gradually nearing the “Heavenly Fire” meteorite.
At that moment, he finally found his senior and junior sisters. They were hopping on the “Heavenly Fire” meteorite, often bending down, seemingly searching for something.
“Senior brother, senior brother! How did you get here?”
Seeing Lin Nuo approaching with his cane, Su Kexin excitedly hopped over, “Senior brother, you haven’t fully recovered yet, why did you come out?”
“I came out for some fresh air.”
Lin Nuo noticed the small pink bag on Su Kexin’s shoulder, bulging as if hiding something.
“What’s in your bag?”
“Wow, I’ve found some precious stones~”
Suke Xin proudly pulled out two large rocks from her bag and laughed, “Look, senior brother, such big pieces of Firelight Stone and Black Segment Stone~”
What the heck?
Lin Nuo was dumbfounded.
These Firelight Stones and Black Segment Stones were as big as three fists. In the common world, wouldn’t such large stones be split into several pieces?
He remembered the scattered stones he had found on the ground earlier; even if all combined, they weren’t half as big as these.
This is just outrageous, what kind of luck is this?
“Junior sister is so lucky, I searched for a long time and could only find stones half the size of hers.”
Liu Shuqin sighed. She had been searching for a long time and hadn’t found any stones both large and rare. Compared to that, Suke Xin’s luck was just too good; she found them not long after arriving.
“Hehe, my luck, even the eldest senior sister can’t envy~”
Suke Xin smiled proudly, extending the two stones towards Lin Nuo, “Senior brother, these two stones are enough for us to forge excellent weapons together. Your spirit sword is good, but with your strength, you deserve a better sword~”
Lin Nuo thought, stones as big as three fists, if used to assist in sword-making, a skilled blacksmith could forge an eighth-grade fine sword. In terms of spirituality and the bond with the swordsman, it would be more than ten times higher than the spirit sword in her hand.
However, if used separately, they could probably only forge two spirit swords of about fifth grade, and the blacksmith’s skill requirements wouldn’t be so high.
Lin Nuo thought, if you use these stones alone to forge a sword, holding an eighth-grade divine sword in your hand, wouldn’t you be chopping vegetables casually? Combined with a burst of power, damn it, even the Sword Saint and the Demon Refining Sect Master wouldn’t be able to beat you.
Suke Xin is the protagonist who levels up. Of course, due to the protagonist’s physique, she will struggle against strong enemies, then burst forth and take them down, leveling up and gradually becoming invincible.
But even if her strength improves, upgrading her weapon still requires chance and opportunity. Logically, it would take a long time before she acquires a new weapon.
But now, she has encountered an opportunity and found great stones! It’s like advancing the acquisition of a good weapon!
Damn it, why!
Lin Nuo really wanted to snatch them away, but being half-disabled, he might just get rubbed into the ground by Suke Xin.
No way, he could only restrict her as much as possible.
“You want to share with me?”
“Mhm! Yes!”
Suke Xin said excitedly and with a giggle, “With these stones, we’ll forge two swords, which will be of great help to our future cultivation.”
“Alright, thank you.”
Lin Nuo accepted right away. After all, it was her own willingness, he didn’t force her, and as long as the two stones were used separately, the weapons forged wouldn’t be so strong.
Okay, this isn’t freeloading, it’s to limit the protagonist.
“Okay~ then I’ll choose what kind of swords to make, is that okay with you, senior brother?”
“Sure.”
Whatever kind of sword you choose to make, I’m just here to limit you. As long as two medium spirit swords come out, do whatever you want with them.
“Alrighty~”
Crafting two swords, one for each of us, senior brother—it’s quite like we’re a pair of daoist companions, isn’t it?~
