The basement is directly below the castle.

Xu Zihuang sat in front of the huge metal table, the metal table is covered with various shapes of fine metal pieces.

Among them, the most conspicuous are the five hexagonal metal blocks engraved with complex central circles, this is the most important central magic circle among all soul guides.

The different types of core magic circles have corresponding requirements for the types of rare metals.

Carved into the five different colored metal hexagonal blocks in front of him are five different third-level core magic circles.

In addition, there is a black and white sharp blade, the back of the knife is as black as ink, the blade is as silver as snow, and the pattern is a chaotic little T-shaped blade.

Under the soft light of the soul guide, the cold light shone brightly, and the sharp breath had a hint of menacing power.

The main material of this blade is the teeth of the 20,000-year-old Evil Spirit Orca.

It took a lot of effort for Xu Zihuang to polish it up to its current appearance.

Although it was already over a year ago, he successfully produced the first third-level soul guide.

But the unfinished soul guide in front of him is the work he has really put his heart and soul into.

Using five third-level core magic circles on a third-level soul guide is even more difficult to do than an ordinary fourth-level soul guide.

There was a flash of light in his eyes, Xu Zihuang restrained his mind and completely immersed himself in him.

The creaking metal setting sounded one after another, and his slender white fingers that looked like works of art danced nimbly. A large piece of fine metal parts in the box on the table was quickly assembled by him in an orderly manner.

The Dragon Soul Imperial Corps soldiers who were originally carving the central magic circle in the basement noticed this scene and couldn't help but be drawn to it.

They quietly lowered their steps and positioned themselves behind Xu Zihuang.

The main body of a soul guide is usually divided into an outer shell, an inner shell, and a core.

The core is the core magic circle, whether it is a melee soul guide or a medium and long-range soul guide, there is not much difference.

However, the outer shell and inner shell of a melee soul guide are much more complicated than those of a medium and long-range soul guide.

The outer shell of the remote soul guide is generally made of the toughest high-temperature resistant metal, so it will not be easily damaged during long-term use.

The inner layer is different, the most important feature of the inner layer is to amplify and transmit the power of the soul, therefore the inner layer must be made of very precious conductive metal, such as crystal silver.

By amplifying soul power through the inner layer, the soul master can consume as little soul power as possible when he uses soul guidance.

But in addition to the core magic circle, the melee soul guide has more stringent requirements on the outer and inner layers.

For example, Xu Zihuang is currently making this knife-type short melee soul tool.

The blade is not only the outer layer but also the main part that wields the deadliest power of the soul tool.

This is also the reason why melee soul tools are much more powerful than medium and long-range soul tools of the same level.

Of course, this is not to say that melee soul guides are definitely better than mid and long-range soul guides, it's just that they each have their own emphasis.

Melee Soul Guides are suitable for traditional Battle Soul Masters with rich combat experience, while Long Range Soul Guides are more suitable for Soul Engineers.

Xu Zihuang's expression became more and more dignified until he embedded the last piece of dark purple rare metal engraved with the central magic circle into the gap between the blade and the handle, and his brows relaxed.

This is a rare metal called a thunder crystal gemstone. Such a small piece is worth more than 10,000 gold soul coins.

By engraving the central magic circle on it, after the user injects the soul power, the dagger will be endowed with the power of lightning.

"Crack-"

Xu Zihuang gripped the knife handle tightly, and the natural feeling that fit the palm of his hand gave him a strong premonition.

He succeeded.

Sure enough, the moment he injected soul power into it, violent purple lightning suddenly appeared on the blade.

The back of the blade, which was originally inky black, turned into a deep purple crystal at this moment.

"As expected of the young master," the onlookers in the crowd couldn't help but admire.

Each of them is a soul engineer above level five, so they can naturally see how difficult it is to make the melee soul tool in Xu Zihuang's hands.

They asked themselves internally, and even if they try it themselves, they may not be able to do it with 100% success.

Xu Zihuang picked up the silver scabbard made from the skin of a Great White Shark Demon Spirit on the table, put the blade into the scabbard, and put it into the storage ring together.

"Fortunately, the energy wasted before was not in vain."

With a sigh of relief, Xu Zihuang nodded slightly to everyone and then walked out of the basement with a smile on his face.

Because the main material is the teeth of the evil killer whale, he named this short knife Whale Tooth, and it deserves its name.

...

Yueshu City, in a spacious room on the top floor of the City Lord's Mansion in the center of the city center.

Yao Yang, who was wearing a luxurious silver robe of a soul master, sat in front of the table near the huge French window, frowning and looking at the scroll in front of him.

"Another merchant ship from the mainland has lost contact, if it really was done by the Crocodile pirate group, what good will it do them?"

The Southern Moon Islands are far away from the Douluo Continent, at least half of the reason why this place is so prosperous is due to the merchant ships that travel between the Sun Moon Continent to the Southern Moon Islands.

However, in the last three years, the chances of merchant ships suffering from accidents have increased significantly.

Although there is no clear evidence, Yao Yang still finds some clues.

And if he considers it from the perspective of interests, there is no need for the Crocodile pirate group to do this at all because it will not get half of the benefits, it may even greatly damage their own interests.

Unless the benefits that the Crocodile pirate group gets may make it not care about this part of the loss.

Yao Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, and such a thought unconsciously crossed his mind.

But he soon denied this conjecture, because it is totally illogical, instead of going back to the old pirate group business, it is better to treat it seriously.

The Crocodile Pirate group, which occupies the two islands of the Southern Moon Islands, while trading well with the mainland merchant ships, not only does it have no risk, but the rewards it gets are much better than before.

"Bang bang bang-", At that moment, there was a soft knock on the door.

Wearing a cool silver chiffon dress, Zhu Yao approached Yao Yang with a steaming cup of mild black tea on a tray.

Zhu Yao personally poured a cup for Yao Yang and gently suggested: "Rest for a while."

"Yes"

The expression on Yao Yang's face softened a little, and feeling the warm and delicate touch on the back of his hand, he helplessly lifted his head to meet Zhu Yao's eyes that held expectations and resentment.

His heart sank, but he finally calmed down and didn't respond.

"Is it because of Zihuang? My intuition told me, the identity of that clan brother should also be false." Zhu Yao's red lips parted slightly, and without waiting for Yao Yang's response, she said to herself again.

"You don't have to answer me, I know you have something to hide."

Yao Yang withdrew his gaze with a complicated expression and said sadly: "Yao'er, there are some things I really can't tell you, but Zihuang is a true little brother to me, give me some time to think about it please."

As he said the last sentence, he turned his back to the bewitching Zhu Yao, who had the corners of her mouth turned up slightly and her eyes filled with cunning.

Yao Yang's words clearly revealed the thoughts in his heart.

This move that is based on retreat is really correct!
