"What's your name? I mean your real name."
The rudimentary nature of this student recruitment event was on full display.
The teacher only asked the students' names after accepting them as students.
"My name is Luo Xiu, teacher."
Luo Xiu spoke up.
"Very well, Luo Xiu. Now that you have become my student, I will keep my word."
Tata began to speak:
"I promise to forge you a Tier 5 piece of equipment. What kind of equipment or item do you want?"
"A weapon? Or armor? Or some kind of item with special effects?"
After speaking, worried that Luo Xiu might not understand the concept of fifth-tier items, a black mist spread from Tata's body, transforming into the shape of an arm.
A hammer that flashed with two dazzling colors, red and white, appeared in his hand.
The iron hammer wasn't very big; it wasn't even as big as the stone hammer in the hands of a second-tier goblin.
But the workmanship looks exceptionally exquisite. The hammer body is engraved with complex and mysterious incantations in smooth and beautiful lines, and the handle is made of some kind of uncarved wood that exudes natural beauty.
The two ends of the hammer emitted red and white light respectively; the red light was scorching, and the white light was chilling.
At first glance, this iron hammer did not have the earth-shattering aura that Luo Xiu had imagined a fifth-tier item to possess. However, when he looked at the iron hammer, he could vaguely see that the space where the red and white lights intersected seemed to be distorted.
A strong sense of disorientation erupted from that distorted space, and Luo Xiu, who was staring at that space, instantly felt dizzy.
It was as if my own thoughts were also affected by that sense of confusion, and everything in front of me began to spin.
He shook his head, immediately looked away, and his mind cleared up again.
"This is the first Tier 5 equipment I've crafted, [Blazing Cold Light]."
Tata watched Luo Xiu's reaction and silently put away the hammer:
"This equipment can not only be used for forging, but also has two opposite attributes when attacking, as well as a twisted additional attribute that can affect the opponent's thinking and the skills they use."
After speaking, his hand, formed from black mist, pointed at himself again:
"This [Dark Domain Disguise] is also a Tier 5 equipment. In addition to the restraint, storage, and extension control you have already experienced, it can also conceal my aura and rank."
"You also have a piece of equipment that conceals your rank, right? You should be aware of this effect."
Luo Xiu nodded:
"Yes."
So what? What kind of equipment do you want?
Tata began to speak:
"Weapons or armor?"
"I want a cloak."
Luo Xiu spoke up.
"You want to strengthen your defenses, right?"
Tata nodded; this was also a reasonable choice.
But Luo Xiu shook his head:
"Teacher, it would be best if the defense could be strengthened."
"But I mainly hope that this cloak can provide some other effects, such as changing appearance, concealing scent, hiding body shape, avoiding bloodstains, and it would be even better if it could also be used for escape."
He thought it over and over, and realized that a fifth-tier weapon or armor would be very good, but he was only at the fourth tier, so he obviously couldn't make the most of it.
When he reaches the fifth rank, with the added benefit of his physique, the effectiveness of his armor becomes relatively small.
In contrast, a cloak that can be used for running away is much more useful.
When traveling through this world, there will inevitably be times when we need to use them.
After speaking, Luo Xiu looked at Tata expectantly.
Tata was completely stunned by what she heard.
What kind of effects are these? They sound so... crooked and unorthodox.
Given his past temper, if someone had told him they wanted to have such a piece of equipment made, he would have kicked that person out the door long ago.
But looking at the expectant eyes of his newly accepted students, he could only sigh:
"I'll prepare the materials in a few days. I don't know if there are any suitable materials in the warehouse right now. If there aren't enough materials, you'll either have to wait or you can find them yourself."
"Okay, teacher! Thank you, teacher! You've worked so hard, teacher!"
Luo Xiu nodded vigorously, answering three times in a row, looking like an obedient student.
Tata let out a long sigh:
"You must have been spending too much time with White, you've picked up all sorts of nonsense."
"But you're quite lucky. I usually dislike the kind of props you're talking about, but an old friend once gave me one that was similar."
"I've kept it because of our friendship, but now I can give it to you."
As she spoke, Tata took a mask out of her magic pocket and handed it to Luo Xiu.
It was a smiling raccoon mask, oval-shaped, with two small protruding corners at the top, which were the raccoon's little ears.
The mask features a smiling raccoon dog outlined in simple colors.
"【Onomatopoeic Tanuki】The effect is to change the wearer's voice and block the X-ray vision of fourth-tier and lower X-ray vision magic."
Tata spoke up.
Luo Xiu took the mask, examined it for a moment, and sincerely thanked Tata:
"Thank you teacher."
She teaches classes, gives away treasures, and even stands up for others.
This shows that they genuinely consider themselves students.
Where can I find a teacher like this?
Tata nodded:
"Your attendant is still waiting outside. I'll have someone prepare the third alchemy room on the right for you later. Rest for tonight, and I'll formally teach you alchemy tomorrow."
"Yes."
Luo Xiu took the mask and left the reception room.
Tata sat alone in the middle of the living room, his black tentacles extending to unfold the letter White had given him:
Senior brother, long time no see. You didn't expect me to still be alive, did you?
I know you can't forgive me, and I can never forgive myself. I'm not writing to you to ask for your forgiveness, senior.
The young man who delivered the letter to me was both a good friend and a benefactor.
When you meet him, you'll realize he's a true genius, no less than senior brother Earl or senior sister Selena back then.
I know you're already thinking of throwing the letter away after reading this.
But I think it's better to wait until you've had some contact with him before making a decision.
I would like to ask you to craft a Tier 5 piece of equipment for him. The reason is that I believe he is the kind of person who can "go out into the world".
Best regards, White
Tata read the letter over and over again, then slowly walked to the fireplace.
Logically, this letter should have been destroyed.
Because the letter mentioned "going out".
This is an absolutely taboo topic.
But he ultimately didn't burn the letter; instead, he put it into his magic pocket.
"Can we really get out of here?"
He gazed at the flames in the fireplace and murmured:
"Once you leave, can you ever come back?"
Amidst the crackling sounds, the flames seemed to grow stronger and stronger.
……
At this moment, in the monster arena.
The original lighting magic had long been turned off, and the bustling crowd had all left.
Even the staff cleaning the site were all evacuated by Margaret.
Only two candles flickered in the entire venue.
Because someone is coming tonight.
That person doesn't like other people being present.
boom!
The arena gates were pushed open.
A figure appeared at the boundary between the night outside and the candlelight inside.
Good evening, Margaret.
The figure, hands in pockets, slowly walked into the arena.
He was dressed in aristocratic attire, from his clothes to his trousers to his gloves, all in a vibrant blood red.
Even the buttons are blood red with gold trim.
He whistled softly, the sound echoing through the silent arena.
Margaret, dressed in a long red dress, knelt in the center of the arena, her expression both respectful and apprehensive, waiting for that figure to approach.
