Returning to the Demon Fortress, we carried the [heavy treasure] and did not dare to stay in this place full of angels for fear of being discovered by the angels. We made a small calculation. As soon as we came out of the teleportation array, we turned back and immediately entered the teleportation array.

, returned to Rogge camp without stopping.

The five of them breathed a sigh of relief until they saw Raphael's tent. Sa Qili and the three looked at each other and smiled. After so many years of experience, even in the moment of life and death, they seemed to have never been so nervous.

You know, what Qiaxi is holding in his arms is most likely an artifact suit similar to that inherited by the Twelve Knights of the Elf Race. Even if it is not, according to Lukogas, Qiaxi will be able to become the same person as him in at most ten years.

Even if only one tenth of the legendary blacksmith is inherited, it will be enough to make a qualitative leap in the alliance's equipment strength.

"You are finally back." He entered Raphael's tent carelessly, expecting that she would angrily scold us for being rude again, but then her face changed and she smiled and gave us a welcome hug.

But unexpectedly, the atmosphere inside the tent was a bit solemn. The first thing we saw was Raphael, sitting alone at his desk, assuming Commander Ikari's signature pose, thinking about something. He looked up and saw us, but he just didn't

He said something perfunctorily.

"What happened?" Sa Qili, who had been fighting with Raphael for many years, saw at a glance that this princess of hundreds of tribes was not pretending. She was really troubled, so she couldn't help but step forward and asked.

"It seems that things are going very well. Have you got the inheritance from Mr. Lukogas?" Raphael did not answer immediately. His eyes fell on Qiaxi's arms. The red-colored tool set had been covered by a layer of stuff inside and outside.

It was covered up by layers, and only a bulging package could be seen.

"Well, it went very smoothly, I got it, what happened?" Seeing Raphael's attitude, the joy in Sa Qili's heart also faded a bit, and her expression became serious.

"Lord Rukogas...disappeared."

"Wha...what?!" We were shocked. We had just said goodbye to him, but how could he disappear immediately? And how did Raphael know about this?

"Mi Seiya, please come out and explain. She is also a little ahead of you. She came back from the front and the back and just reported the situation to me."

Under Raphael's greeting, Mi Seya, the director of the secondary orphanage and the mysterious assassin, slowly appeared from the darkness. Sa Qili and the others seemed to be used to it, but I was shocked. This

Guy, your concealment skills are so good. The tent is so small, I didn't realize she was there just now.

Mi Seya walked out expressionlessly, and in a flat, business-like voice, told us everything she saw after we left, that is, what happened within a minute.

"What did you say? Master Lukogas was attacked?" I raised my voice in disbelief.

I have just experienced the strength of Rukogas. It is very likely to reach the level of world-devouring power. How could he be attacked? Who has such courage? Are you kidding?

However, although Mi Seya has a bad personality and has dressed up as a soldier in the camp many times to extort money, the look in her eyes now clearly tells me that she is not lying.

"Is it the Three Demon Gods or the Four Demon Kings?" I was extremely shocked and exclaimed in disbelief. Apart from these guys, I really can't think of anyone else who can do it.

"I don't know. The moment I felt the aura of that existence, I ran away immediately. Of course, its whereabouts should have been discovered by it. If it hadn't disappeared with Rukogas, I might not have been able to return.

coming."

Mi Seya talked about the life-threatening topic with a calm face, paused, and added: "But I think it can't be them, maybe it's their subordinates, maybe it's someone else."

"Impossible, Lukogas' strength is very likely to reach the level of a demon. Apart from the three demon gods and the four demon kings, I can't think of anyone else who can attack him and make him disappear." I kept shaking my head, denying Mi Seiya.

speculation.

"That's true, but we can't rule out the possibility. What if Lukogas' strength is not as good as before?" Raphael thought for a while, then said suddenly.

"It's good, why is it not as good as before?" I couldn't laugh or cry about Raphael's wild ideas.

"For example, for inheritance?" Raphael's eyes suddenly fell on Qiaxi's arms, and he woke up the dreamer with his words.

Yes, inheritance, for the sake of inheritance!

I suddenly realized that in order to hand over the complete inheritance to the next generation of successors, the twelve knights of the elves sacrificed their own lives. At the cost of their lives, Rukogas did something almost like retreating.

Even if the strength is greatly reduced, it is considered light.

"If you think about it carefully, are there any details that have been overlooked?"

"Needless to say, that's probably what happened." Sa Qili suddenly said.

"Look back, everyone, when we first arrived at the cave, didn't Cruton say that Rukogas was resting? After completing the last tool, Rukogas also showed a tired look. Logically speaking, with

With such a strong strength, he would normally not show such a performance, which can only explain one situation. Lord Rukogas was already exhausted when we arrived."

Sa Qili's analysis made everyone fall silent. Although it was just a guess, everyone could see that it couldn't be wrong.

"The three demon gods and the four demon kings are being watched by the angel clan, so they should not act rashly. They are probably their subordinates, and the one closest to them is undoubtedly the great demon god Diavolo." Raphael said with a hint of sadness.

"Misaya, just now you said that the attacker disappeared together with Rukogas, right? Could you please help send a message to Akara and ask her to pay attention to the three minions around Diavolo during this time?

The King of Xixi, the Minister of Chaos, and the Soul Communicator, are there any of them who will no longer have projections and clones?"

Mi Seya nodded, slowly backed away, and her figure merged into the darkness again. I watched her disappear with fixed eyes, but I couldn't see how she left.

This guy is a bit scary. I remember Raphael said that she seems to belong to a secret race. Her profession is also a special profession.

"I didn't expect that something like this would happen to Mr. Lukogas. It's all my fault. If it weren't for inheritance..." Qiaxi, who had been silent, muttered to himself. The excitement and anxiety of getting the tool set were no longer on his face.

.but full of deep regret.

If he had not accepted the inheritance, Teacher Rukogas might not have died. It was himself who killed Teacher Rukogas.

"Chasi, don't talk nonsense. Lukogas is not necessarily dead. Do you want to curse him?" Raphael said quickly, fearing that Chasi would become depressed.

"But……"

"It's nothing, but it's okay. The situation is unclear now. Don't be depressed without permission. Besides, with Lukogas' wisdom, how could he not expect such a thing? Maybe, he has already made preparations. Maybe,

He just left the Dark Continent for an excuse, not wanting to fall into the muddy waters of the Dark Continent."

"I understand." Qiaxi wiped the corners of his eyes and cheered up again: "No matter what, I will definitely inherit the teacher's legacy and will not let his ability be insulted."

"That's good if you think so." Raphael nodded happily and looked out the window, his expression becoming complicated and depressed again.

I originally thought that Rukogas would be a lasting help, but I didn't expect... No matter what, I hope nothing happens to him.

I also sighed at the side, recalling that every sentence of Lukogas seemed to have a profound meaning. I had already predicted what would happen, why didn't I notice it at the time?

However, what can you do even if you notice it? Not to mention the three demon gods and four demon kings, their subordinates, the King of Xixi that Raphael just mentioned, and the ministers of chaos and soul communicators, the rest of us put together

, nor are they their opponents.

The atmosphere in the tent was somewhat silent, which made the cheerful Sa Qili unbearable. Her eyes turned around and fell on Qia Xi, her eyes brightening.

"I believe that Mr. Lukogas has his own destiny, and everything will be fine. It's useless for us to worry about it here. We might as well do something that can be done."

Everyone looked at her in confusion, followed her gaze, and fell into Qiaxi's arms, suddenly realizing.

"By the way, we got the tool kit from Lord Lukogas. For safety reasons, we haven't even had a chance to take a look at it."

The timid Qiaxi shrank his neck when he saw that he had become the focus of the tent, and quickly put the package in his arms on the desk. Under the expectant gaze of everyone, he untied the layers of packages, revealing the red light.

The whole tent was lit up.

This was the first time we took a closer look at this set of tools that embodies the painstaking inheritance of Lukogas. First, the piece of leather that we are familiar with is sewn from unknown leather goods. It seems that it can be worn directly on the body. At first glance,

You know it is not a mortal thing. However, it is just a tool for storing items. There are rectangular pockets neatly arranged on it, and the real owner is inserted in the pocket.

First, there are four hammers. The handles of the hammers are inserted into the pockets and the hammer heads are exposed. The four handles are all the same size, but... they look strange no matter how you look at them. They are a bit too small compared to Qiaxi's size.

"Hurry up and take it out." Faced with these doubts, we quickly urged Qiaxi.

"Okay, okay."

Qiaxi took out the hammer at the edge, and just as she pulled away from the leather, her hand suddenly sank, and the mini hammer became ten times larger in the blink of an eye.

We opened our eyes wide, because we had already defined this set of tools as an artifact set, so we took it for granted that such anomalies occurred and did not make a fuss.

Putting the hammer carefully on the table, Qiaxi took out the second one. Similarly, this hammer quickly enlarged after leaving the pocket and was placed on the table. Compared with the first hammer, it was one size smaller.

.

The third and fourth hammers were taken out one after another and arranged neatly on the table, from large to small, which can be used for any occasion and any equipment.

Except for the four most important blacksmith hammers, the others are some auxiliary parts, such as pliers and anvils, which are the most basic ones. There are also sets of carving knives, chisels of various specifications, etc., which add up to no less than

Twenty pieces, no wonder it has to be shrunk and inserted into the leather. Otherwise, it would be easy to mess up.

After Qiaxi took out all the tools, a huge desk was already filled. Qiaxi finally touched the leather and suddenly let out a surprise.

Then, she dug out a bead the size of a pigeon egg from an inconspicuous little bag.

No, it cannot be described as beads. It is more like a ball of flame, a solidified flame. You can vaguely see the raging fire burning inside. If you stare at it closely, you will gradually feel your own gaze and yourself.

His eyes, body and soul were all ignited by this flame.

"Is this..." Shashik and Tulakov, who were barely qualified blacksmiths, suddenly looked shocked.

"Could it be the heart of the hearth? The most important heart of the blacksmith?"

"Heart of Fire?" I looked at the two of them doubtfully.

"Yes. To put it simply, what is the most important thing if you want to forge?" Seeing me as a novice, Shashik explained patiently.

"It should be the materials and craftsmanship, right?"

"There is also fire. No matter how good the craftsmanship is, there is no way to forge it without fire. Of course, except for legendary figures like Lord Rukogas."

Thinking of the first time he saw Rukogas at the bottom of the Evil Cave, where he easily kneaded the dragon bone given to him by a druid into equipment, Shahik quickly changed his mind.

Yes, Lukogas's craftsmanship has reached a transcendent level. His hands have become excellent hammers and furnaces. From ordinary materials, he can directly knead equipment with his hands. Only more advanced ones can be used.
