Chapter 35 The Dark Dagger

When Davy returned to the nether world, it was already one day later.

Francis looked at Davy, who was passing through the gate of the nether world with many supplies, and realized for the first time the benefits of being a skeleton.

The warehouse specially built for Davy had been filled with ores refined by underlings. In the day that Davy left, underlings had been busy from morning to night.

"Can we start to forge the equipment now?"

Francis said, pointing at the supplies on the ground.

"Yes."

This time, Davy not only brought enough supplies for his own life but also two boxes of books, which were densely packed with all kinds of materials needed for various equipment.

"There is no relevant information about the ores of the nether world on the mage continent."

Seeing that the underlings were busy sorting out the stuff, Davy stood beside Francis and said, "At present, we can only use pure ores to forge equipment."

"It's enough. Now the materials are not complete. Just use the simplest method."

The most important thing was to see if the ores could make decent equipment.

The weapons of the underlings all needed to be changed.

The blades and swords sent by Elsa had already been rusty and corroded by the air of the nether world.

Francis didn't know when the team sent by Augustine would arrive next time. The most important thing for him was to get his underlings armed first.

He didn't need to think about anything else.

After packing up, Davy began to forge the equipment.

Francis looked at the ores thrown into the furnace by Davy, making a crackling sound.

He was looking forward to the first finished product.

"A dagger?"

A black dagger was in Francis's hand.

"The dark dagger is assassin's weapon. It can be made into a complete dagger at the first attempt, the success rate is very high."

Davy was also a little excited. After all, this was the first time he had used the nether world iron mine to forge equipment.

Francis looked through it for a while and found that he couldn't see more information about the equipment, nor could he check the data of the dagger.

"Why can't I see its quality?"

Every time Elsa sent the equipment here, he could directly check whether it was purple quality or blue, but he couldn't see anything from the dark dagger.

"If the dagger is not evaluated, nothing can be seen."

Davy explained.

"Can you identify it?"

"We need a professional examiner to identify weapons. I'm just a blacksmith, I can't identify equipment."

Davy shrugged and said.

Francis opened his data panel and found that the column about the examiner was black. If he wanted to be an examiner, the only condition was to awaken his appraisal talent.

With his own strength, Francis certainly couldn't directly awaken the talent. He could only turn to the system for help.

Fortunately, it was not difficult.

Francis only needed to kill 10 skeletons with related skill potential to absorb their talent.

When Francis closed the data panel and looked at the skeleton army not far away, he saw many data.

Even if the skeletons only had a little awakening potential, they could still be absorbed.

With a knife in his hand, Francis successfully awakened his appraisal talent and was transferred to be an appraisal master.

When he looked at the black dagger, relevant data appeared in his eyes.

"The dark dagger, blue quality (excellent), crit rate 5%."

The quality of the equipment was divided into ordinary, excellent, extraordinary, perfection, epic, and legend.

The weapons Elsa gave them were mostly of ordinary quality. Only the quality of their shields was excellent. Although they were purple-quality objects, their data were not as good as the dark dagger.

Francis looked down at the dragon bone spear in his hand again.

This was his booty.

He had thought that the quality of the dragon bone spear would be better than all the existing weapons, but Francis couldn't see any information about it. There was only one big word on the interfacesemi-product.

"Master, I have long felt that the weapon in your hand is a little strange..."

Looking into Francis's eyes, Davy said, "The weapon in your hand is not a complete one. It needs two rounds of forging to unleash its full power."

"I have investigated all kinds of materials in the nether world and found something very strange,"

Davy took out a black stone from his pocket and put it in front of Francis.

"Black crystal? What's wrong with it?"

Francis asked in confusion.

"The black crystal can be used as auxiliary material to forge weapons. With the combination of top-grade ores and precious materials, the weapons will be more powerful."

Pointing at the dragon bone spear in Francis's hand, Davy said, "If I'm guessing right, to complete the second forge, we must find the same material and then match it with the black crystal."

Francis looked at the dragon bone spear in his hand.

Francis didn't know where to look for the same materials Davy had mentioned in a short time, but he had a lot of black crystals.

He could easily get a lot of them for Davy.

"But ordinary black crystals are not very useful in forging this kind of weapon. If you want to give full play to the most perfect power of black crystals, you need to find the perfect black crystals."

Davy said and looked at Francis.

At present, all Francis's black crystals were found from his same kind.

If he wanted to get the perfect black crystal mentioned by Davy, he must find the powerful skeleton leader and kill him.

Augustine was the best choice for Francis.

Unfortunately, his current strength was not enough to fight against Augustine head-on. He could only wait for Augustine to send stronger skeleton soldiers.

"Here you are, Mouse."

Francis threw the dagger into Mouse's hand. It had to be said that the weapon specially made by Davy for skeleton was indeed more suitable than the mini version bought by Elsa.

Mouse was happy to get the new weapon.

His profession was the assassination, but he never had his weapon.

Francis gave the first dagger he made to him so that Mouse could hurt the enemy more. There was no need to admire. The other underlings also had their weapons.

These days, Davy had been staying in the nether world to forge equipment.

Francis led the other underlings, repeating the life of killing skeletons upgrade every day. Now Francis's level was about to reach 30.

He also collected all the black crystals he need for the transfer.

One day, Davy found Francis and presented him with a new weapon.

They were a big sword and a longbow.

They were all of excellent quality.

Francis gave the sword to Smart and the longbow to Blind.

Speaking of Blind, knowing Blind and letting him work for Francis, Francis could only explain it with dumb luck.

When Francis found Blind, he was still a weak skeleton. Although his level was about to reach level 10, he had been bullied by his peers because of his thin figure.

Francis saved the dying Blind.

After that, Francis helped him reach level 10 and transfer successfully, he became an archer.

However, he had never been able to enter the rank of the core underlings because he had no longbow. Fortunately, Davy had saved him.

After Blind got the longbow, he pulled it open and tried to feel it.

The hunter's occupation made him very satisfied with the weapons in his hands, although they hadn't created any bows and arrows to let Blind display his abilities.

The reason why Francis attached great importance to the archer.

Because of the specialty of their career, archers were rarer than other professions. Standing on the spot and relying on the bows and arrows in their hands, they could defeat the enemies a hundred meters away.

With the help of Smart and Mouse, their encirclement would be perfect.

Both mages and archers could finish the long-distance assassination.

These two careers were also Francis's key training professions in the future.

Under the arrangement of Francis, two underlings were especially responsible for making bows and arrows for Blind to meet his daily needs.

"Augustine's underlings will arrive in 5 hours. Please get ready for the battle."

When Francis was distributing weapons, the reminder in his mind shocked him.

"I wonder what surprise they will bring to me this time..."

Killing Augustine's underlings, he could gain their experience and a large number of black crystals. If he was lucky, he could get more abundant materials.

For example, the skeleton warhorse and the dragon bone spear last time.

Hearing that they would arrive in 5 hours, Francis immediately began to arrange the operation plan.

To protect the mine, they couldn't fight nearby.

At the same time, he couldn't let Augustine know the existence of Davy.
