Zhang Zipeng was indeed a sword-wielder from a family of swordsmiths. Although he had not been a swordsmith for many years, repairing swordmothers was as smooth as flowing water in his hands. Soon, he had repaired more than ten swordmothers!
When the next swordwielder gave Zhang Zipeng his broken swordmother, Zhang Zipeng shrugged and said, "Sorry, I can't repair your swordmothers now."
"Why?
Is it because my Floating Cloud Sword is too damaged?
No, that sword was even more damaged than my Floating Cloud. Didn't you repair it? "The swordwielder, who had been rejected by Zhang Zipeng, said.
"No, you misunderstand. I'm not saying your swordmother is too damaged to repair. I just don't have any Dimension Crystals left. I can't make bricks without straw!"
Next, Zhang Zipeng explained to everyone that repairing the Sword Maidens required Dimensional Crystal Shards. However, Zhang Zipeng had used up all the Dimensional Crystal Shards in his Dimensional Pocket. Without Dimensional Crystal Shards, Zhang Zipeng could not repair the remaining dozens of Sword Maidens.
"Who has extra Dimension Crystals in their Dimensional Pockets? Take them out. I know Dimension Crystals are expensive, and it's a big loss to give them away.
But if you guys want to escape, you'll have to recover.
Comrade Zhang Zipeng had just silently used his Dimensional Crystal to repair the Sword Lady for everyone, but didn't she complain at all?
Everyone, don't be stingy with these dimensional crystals. Those who have dimensional crystals, take them out! "
Seeing this, Gui Yi called for everyone to take out their Dimension Crystals. Gui Yi took out the two Baron Dimension Crystals he had.
Following Gui Yi's lead, the swordwielder who had Dimension Crystals did the same. Guhan quietly took out five Baron Dimension Crystals.
Dimensional crystals didn't have any outstanding effects in battle. At most, they could be used to repair Sword Maidens or have some auxiliary effects. Therefore, unless the sword bearers returned from the ore veins, they would immediately hand over the dimensional crystals to Yuzhang City to exchange for various resources. Most sword bearers wouldn't have dimensional crystals in their dimensional pockets.
So, even though everyone took out their Dimension Crystals, there weren't many left on the table. There were only twenty of them, and they were all Baron Dimension Crystals. There weren't any Baron Dimension Crystals, either. Guhan's Dimensional Pocket had a few dozen Viscounts and a dozen Earls. There were even Marquises and Dukes.
But then again, Dimensional Crystals of the Baron rank and above were too precious. No one would be willing to selflessly give them away.
Gu Han believed that other than himself, there should be a few other people who had Baron and above dimensional crystals in their hands.
"What do you think?
Is that enough? "
Gui One asked Zhang Zipeng with worry. Twenty Baron Dimension Crystals was enough to repair the swordmothers, which were twice as many as he had. It was going to be a very difficult task.
"Save it. Ancient swordmothers should be enough."
Zhang Zipeng gritted his teeth and said, "But I can't do anything about the swordmothers. They need Viscounts to repair. It doesn't matter how many Barons there are."
"How many swordmothers do we have that need to be repaired?
If you need them, bring out your swordmothers! "
Gui Yi said to everyone. Very quickly, a total of 14 swordmaidens appeared on the table.
Gui One asked Zhang Zipeng, "Zipeng, take a look. How many Viscounts do we need to repair these swordmothers?"
Zhang Zipeng's gaze lingered on these Sword Ladies. After assessing the degree of damage on their bodies and the quality of the Sword Ladies themselves, he said, "If it's a mid-level Viscount Dimensional Crystal Stone with about 3,000 quarks of sword essence, then it'll need at least seven of them!"
"Seven?"
Gui Yi muttered to himself a few times, then took out a Viscount Seed from his Dimensional Pocket … "This is all the Dimensional Crystals I have. If it wasn't for the fact that I didn't exchange them the last time I came back from the mine, I wouldn't have left a Viscount Seed here!"
But it was only one. It was far from enough for seven. Gui One turned around and yelled at the other swordbearers, "Stop hiding! I don't believe you don't have a single Viscount Seed!
Don't worry, we won't take it for free. When I return to Yuzhang City, I'll transfer my hero coins to you. "
Return to One Sword said casually. It sounded quite imposing, and there were also Hero Coins as compensation.
But it had the opposite effect. After Gui One said this, the swordbearers with Viscounts were probably even more unwilling to hand over their items.
No one wanted to be labeled as someone who didn't want to hand over their Viscounts because of money. How could they face others in the future?
Things fell into a stalemate.
In the end, it was Guhan who couldn't stand it anymore. He didn't want to waste his precious time on these things.
Therefore, Gu Han walked in front of everyone and said sincerely, "Gui Yi was too quick with his words and spoke nonsense. We've all been through thick and thin together. How could he be stingy just because of a few Hero Coins? It's just that he didn't react in time.
Now that we're all on the same side, we really shouldn't hold a grudge over such a small matter. "
"How about this, I have a sack here. I'll walk to everyone's side later. Everyone put their hands in it … If you have a Viscount Seed, you can secretly put it inside. If you don't, forget it. How about this?"
As Guhan said this, he took out a sack. It was originally used to store potatoes. Now, it could be used for something else.
"Not bad. I think this is good. We don't have to worry about losing face!"
"Yeah!
Yeah! "
Everyone agreed. Everyone agreed with Guhan's idea.
Then, Guhan walked in front of everyone with the sack. Finally, he put the sack on the table and poured out all of the Viscount Seed. There were exactly six Viscount Seeds. Including Gui One's Viscount Seed, there were exactly seven.
"Huh, strange. This is too much of a coincidence!
The number is just right! "
"Yeah, this is really strange!"
Seeing this coincidental number, everyone started to discuss it. Only Gu Han laughed and said to them, "This is an auspicious sign. It's not a lot, not a lot, but it's just right. This is telling us that we'll have the same number as these seven, and we'll be able to rush out of the Yue Yang Stronghold!"
"I see!"
"That's great!"
Fortunately, Guhan was able to link these two things together. In an instant, the atmosphere in the recasting workshop became cheerful.
Although Guhan's words were very unreliable, saying that it was an auspicious sign was no different from a fart.
However, when people were uncertain about their future, they loved to hear such things … Once people believed in the auspicious sign and happily carried it out, the auspicious sign would come true!
…
While Zhang Zipeng was restoring the Swordmistress, Guhan went to the second floor of the recasting workshop. From a hidden position, he peeked at the situation on the street.
Although he and the others had killed many Yuan Kou along the way to get here, the Yuan Kou did not seem to realize that they had lost many of their teammates. Other than a few Daemons strolling around, there was nothing else worth paying attention to.
"What is Hercules planning?
How is Misaka Mikoto doing … "Guhan was thinking about these things in silence. He did not seem to notice that someone had come up behind him.
"Out of the six Viscount Seeds just now, three of them were yours!" The person who appeared behind Guhan was none other than Gui Yi, the famous swordsman.
"How did you know?" Gu Han sighed, and asked in return.
"You are still too young. Have you forgotten that if something enters the sack, the sack will at least shake a little … I have been paying attention to the sack just now. When you walked over, the sack only shook three times, but six Viscount Seeds came out. Other than you, no one else could have put three Viscount Seeds into the sack," Gui Yi said as if he was a famous detective.
"Sigh … Who said that shaking meant that a Viscount Seed had been put in?
In fact, the three of them each put two Viscount Seeds into the sack. Although it looked like you only shook it three times, in fact, six Viscount Seeds had already entered the sack … "
"I …" Gui Yi was speechless. The three of them each had two Viscount Seeds in their pockets?
Wasn't that too much of a coincidence?
Even if you beat Gui Yi to death, he would not believe Gu Han's words.
But Gui Yi could not refute Guhan, and that was the most frustrating thing about it.
"Mr. Gui Yi, if you have time to think about this, why don't you think about what we should do next?" Guhan smiled and put something in Gui Yi's hand.
"What is this?" Gui Yi picked up the item and looked at it. It was a purple, sparkling and translucent dimensional crystal.
"This is an Earl Seed!"
Gui Yi was shocked. Guhan had given him an Earl Seed Dimensional Crystal, so he quickly returned it to Guhan. "This is too valuable. I can't take it from you!"
"Take it!
Gui Yi, I remember that your Famed Swordmistress was damaged as well. "
Guhan smiled and said, "To repair a Famed Swordmistress, you must use an Earl Seed. Your power is crucial to our escape."
"I …" Gui Yi thought for a while, but he still held the Earl Seed in his hand. He put his hand on Guhan's shoulder, wanting to say something.
"I know. You owe me an Earl Seed. If I am ever in trouble, you must come and help me." Guhan patted Gui Yi on the shoulder.
There was an old saying that went, "When you receive favors from others, you have to help."
