After asking Kerton to arrange accommodation for Pierce, Sam, and others, Locke didn’t waste time and planned to look for Hephaestus directly, while Athena decided to go back to the castle to have a rest.
When Locke arrived at the workshop, he found that Sleipnir was also there, chatting happily with Hephaestus.
“Hi~ Locke.”
Seeing Locke come over, Hephaestus waved his hand.
“Oh, Hephaestus, long time no see.”
Locke replied with a smile. As he spoke, he took out the original crystal from the system space.
“Is this the original crystal?” With curiosity written all over his face, Hephaestus grabbed the crystal from Locke’s hand and injected some divine energy into it.
Feeling that the original crystal had absorbed his divine energy, he smiled and said, “It seems that my speculation is right. The original crystal can indeed store divine energy. However, there are a lot of impurities now, and I still need to refine it again.”
With that, Hephaestus waved his hand and threw the crystal into the refining furnace.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The fire of the refining furnace roared and instantly wrapped the original crystal.
In about ten minutes, the original crystal had turned into a pool of dark liquid. At the same time, the liquid was constantly reorganizing, and soon it formed a new crystal of about two centimeters.
At the same time, Hephaestus slightly turned his palm towards the refining furnace. With a bang, the top of the furnace was opened, and the original crystal flew out and floated in his palm.
Hephaestus waved his other hand slightly.
Clang~
A cyan long sword flew out of the refining furnace.
The sword blade emitted a cold light. Both ends of the sword hilt were engraved with a complicated and exquisite dragon head pattern, and there was a small groove between the sword hilt and the sword blade.
The size of the groove was exactly the same as that of the refined original crystal. It could be seen that this groove was the place where the original crystal was embedded.
Of course, the process of inlaying the original crystal was not simple. The corresponding array textures had to be engraved on the original crystal and the sword to completely connect the original crystal with Sword in the Stone.
Under the control of Hephaestus, the original crystal slowly fell into the small groove.
Then he stretched out his index finger and drew in the air. The index finger was like a pen, leaving golden lines wherever it passed. In just a short while, a mysterious array pattern made of golden lines appeared in the air, just like the 3D projection Locke had seen in his previous life.
The array textures began to shrink rapidly and merged into the position of the original crystal in Sword in the Stone.
After completing the drawing of an array texture, Hephaestus continued to draw more than ten array textures, which were integrated into Sword in the Stone and the original crystal.
All of a sudden~
With the merging of the last array texture, Sword in the Stone seemed to be alive and began to tremble slightly. At the same time, it emitted a frightening power.
“Come on, have a try.”
Smiling, Hephaestus waved his hand and the Sword in the Stone flew to Locke.
Locke was also delighted. He slowly reached out and held the hilt of Sword in the Stone.
At the same time, the small universe in his body began to revolve, and the divine energy quickly poured into Sword in the Stone. He found that the speed at which the original crystal stored the divine energy had increased a lot after the refinement.
Let us see how powerful it was. Holding Sword in the Stone in his hand, Locke hacked at the stone pier with a radius of about one meter and a height of five or six meters in the distance.
A purple sword light burst out from Sword in the Stone and quickly chopped towards the stone pier. Wherever the sword light passed, the bricks and stones on the ground were broken, leaving a long sword mark.
Boom!
Under the powerful sword light, the huge stone pier was directly chopped into pieces. As the dust dissipated, only some debris of the stones was left at the original position of the stone pier.
Looking at the disappearing stone block, Locke was a little scared. He muttered, “It’s indeed the level-6 weapon. It is so powerful!”
With the help of Sword in the Stone, his combat effectiveness had increased by at least 30% percent.
He was currently at the early stage of the seventh sense of the small universe, and his practice base was equivalent to the level-4 practitioner. With Sword in the Stone, his strength would be able to beat the level-5 practitioner!
After chatting for a while, Locke returned to the castle with Sword in the Stone happily. At the gate of the castle, he met Kotter who was waiting for him.
“Master Locke, this is a letter from Sir Count.” Kotter handed the letter to Locke. The letter was sent a few days ago, but Locke was not there, so it was kept by Kotter all the time.
“A letter from my father?”
Locke was slightly stunned with a surprised face. It had been four months since he came to Lister. He was so busy that he forgot to write to his father.
Back in the study, Locke couldn’t wait to open the envelope.
“Locke Capet, you brat! You haven’t sent me a letter for six months!”
Locke couldn’t help but feel a little sad when he read this familiar and irritable sentence. At the same time, the image of his father’s rage seemed to have appeared in his mind.
“Although Lister is a barren land, it’s a good thing that it’s a territory. You brought a lot of money with you back then. 1000 gold coins. I guess you haven’t used them up yet.”
Seeing this, Locke couldn’t help laughing. If his father knew that Lister needed tens of thousands of gold coins for a small project, and now he also had hundreds of thousands of gold coins, would he be shocked?
“Everything is fine in the family. Don’t worry. When you finish your money, send someone to inform me. I will send it to you later…”
Locke continued reading. It was just that Count Capet was angry with Locke for not writing a letter to his family. The current situation of the Capet family made Locke not worry about the family, and at the same time, he gave a lot of instructions to Locke.
Soon, Locke read the end of the letter.
“Locke Capet, forgive me. I can only give you a barren land. Oh, my son, be careful outside. If you encounter any difficulties, write to me and tell me. The Capet family is your backup forever.”
Locke’s eyes turned red when he saw the end of the letter. He put the letter on the table and took a deep breath. He slowly stood up and walked to the window. Looking at the starry sky in the distance, he said, “It’s time to go home and have a look.”
