Li Cheng raised his head and looked above his head. The car roof, which was originally as tall as a dome, was now shrouded in a pitch-black shadow that seemed to swallow everything.

"This is?"

Li Cheng looked at He Ao, and there was a faint electric light shining between his eyebrows.

"I heard that you have an angel-level extraordinary item?"

He Ao looked at Li Cheng.

During the previous fight for the Velora, Moonlight's Sloan was snatching the Velora and ambushed Liu Zhengyun, while Li Cheng took another B-class from the institute to the Tia Empire to steal Yueguang's hometown.

He Ao used the Velora to visit the scene afterwards and estimated that they were probably fighting for an A-level extraordinary item.

However, this is a top secret for the research institute. Even Yang De may not know about Li Cheng's plan.

Moonlight did not publicize this incident, and even cooperated with the research institute to suppress all leaked details of the incident, but interested people can still deduce the truth at that time through some details.

"Indeed there is,"

Li Cheng lowered his head, holding the handle of the stirring spoon with his hand, and stared at He Ao. An invisible power spread from his body, fighting against the shadows that were beginning to pour out from all directions in the carriage. "How can I help you?"

?"

"one little thing."

A pitch-black sword hilt emerged from the shadow of the car roof, followed by a pitch-black sword body that swallowed up the light like an abyss. The sword was pulled out from the ink shadow, almost invisible, and it was difficult for Li Cheng to distinguish it with the naked eye.

exist.

The pitch-black rapier poured out from the roof of the car bit by bit, and finally completely detached from the roof of the car, fell, and fell right into the palm of He Ao's outstretched hand.

At this moment, twisted and terrifying shadows exploded throughout the space, and endless crazy murmurs echoed in the ears of He Ao and Li Cheng.

The shadow-like brilliance spread out from the slender sword body, passed through the transparent viewing window, and submerged into the smooth lake surface.

The calm lake surface was violently disturbed. The next second, a big fish jumped out from under the water. The smooth fish scales turned into hard scales at a speed visible to the naked eye. Sharp fangs began to grow from the huge fish mouth.

.

He Ao slowly closed his hand and held the pitch-black rapier flat against his chest. His index finger clasped the sword hilt guard and tapped it lightly. A black shadow light was guided from the sword body and passed through the invisible

The car window flashed across the body of the big fish that was mutating in the air.

Like an invisible sharp blade, it cut through the huge body,

The bright red blood fell like rain, splashing on the reflection of the white snow-capped mountains on the lake.

"I might have to trouble your people to clean up this place later."

He Ao looked at Li Cheng with a smile.

This is why he chose an uninhabited scenic area.

"This is?"

Li Cheng lowered his head and looked at the dark rapier in He Ao's hand.

The moment he stared at the sword, the murmurs that echoed in his mind erupted again like accumulated flames, impacting his consciousness. In this very short period of time, his mind went blank.

But soon, he controlled his spirit and was able to reach this point. His mental stability is not comparable to ordinary people.

"The child of the mysterious shadow fused with the sword,"

He Ao said calmly, "This is the 'truth' about Ellen's coma."

In the final ceremony of the arrival of the mysterious shadow body, He Ao integrated all the power of the mysterious shadow into the shadowless sword in his hand.

In the end, although his body was not contaminated, the Shadowless Sword carrying the power of the mysterious shadow turned into another extraordinary item that was almost uncontrollable.

This sword had been suppressed by him using the power of the Velora before, and was sealed in the Velora.

After He Ao returned from the dungeon world, he carved the control circle he understood from the dungeon world onto his sword overnight.

However, due to the power of the rioting mysterious shadow, the stability of the magic circle engraved on the sword is very poor, and it needs to be reinforced every one or two hours.

Moreover, this cannot truly control the sword. It can only mobilize some scattered power and suppress most of the restless shadows.

If Li Cheng had entered the Velora before carving out the control circle, he would not have seen the normal scene just now. The whole train would be filled with uncontrolled shadows.

"Mysterious Shadow?"

Li Cheng looked away from the rapier in He Ao's hand, seeming a little confused about who He Ao was talking about.

"A god," He Ao said calmly, "Of course, you can also call him an evil god."

"Evil God?"

Li Cheng's eyes opened slightly and his orifices shrank.

"Let's talk about our 'deal' first."

He Ao placed the contaminated Shadowless Sword on the table. The power from the Velora began to try to suppress the sword, and the shadow light on it shrank a bit.

"I need you to use the power of that angel-level extraordinary item to 'forge' this sword, destroy the uncontrolled impurities on it, and compress its core power into the sword body. This process may be very dangerous and can easily attract evil gods.

watch, so the forging process needs to be done under my watch and near the car."

In other words, the hidden angel-level extraordinary item will be 'exposed' in front of He Ao.

"What do we get?"

Li Cheng looked at He Ao.

"Knowledge."

He Ao said calmly, "About extraordinary knowledge."

Li Cheng paused and stared at He Ao.

He Ao smiled back at him.

Knowledge seems the simplest, but it is also the most difficult.

The simple point is that once you know it, you can easily repeat it.

The difficult part is that some key nodes have not been figured out, and some things cannot be understood. It may be a moment, a lifetime, a century, or even forever.

Therefore, exchanging knowledge for help is a "reasonable" thing, especially in this extraordinary world where knowledge itself represents extraordinary power.

Li Cheng was also eager to learn some knowledge from He Ao.

The premise is that the knowledge given by He Ao is 'real'.

For someone who did not know this knowledge before, he will not know whether this knowledge is true or false until the moment such knowledge is verified.

In other words, it is possible to cheat when trading with knowledge.

Li Cheng's help in stabilizing the rapier had to be done under the supervision of 'Hao Yi'. For such an unknown existence, Li Cheng had no means to safely leave a back-up in front of him.

Moreover, this transaction will also expose the institute's angel-level extraordinary items. If the other party's purpose is not to stabilize the rapier at all, but to snatch the angel-level extraordinary items in his hand, then he may be sending the sheep into the tiger's mouth.

This is an unfair deal.

The other party can give him false knowledge, but he has no effective means to counter the other party.

The silent silence stretched for a long time.

And He Ao also knew what Li Cheng was worried about, so he did not speak out to persuade him. Under such circumstances, the more eager he was, the more he would be thought to have ulterior motives.

People will not be convinced by others, only by themselves.

He Ao turned his head and looked out the window at the snow-capped mountains not far away.

This seems to be an undeveloped scenic spot, located in a primitive forest.

Li Cheng also turned to look at the scenery outside the window. This quiet and beautiful scenery was reflected in his eyes, as if the strings of a piano that soothed his emotions were playing softly.

He seemed to understand why 'Hao Yi' brought him here.

Countless information about 'Hao Yi' flashed through his mind.

What follows can be said to be a rational judgment, or it can be said to be a gamble, betting that this 'mysterious' visitor to the ruins is really as well-intentioned as he has shown before.

And for this world that is about to move towards an unpredictable future, sometimes a gamble is needed.

Li Cheng turned around and looked at He Ao, "I can agree to your request, but I need a little preparation."

"Can,"

He Ao nodded slightly.

He placed his hand lightly on the hilt of the sword, and the shadowy rapier slowly blended into the table, then fell through the table and merged under the floor of the Velora.

The dark shadows covering the entire carriage began to slowly dissipate, and He Ao said calmly, "But I don't have much time to wait."

"It will take about a day, and it will be done around three o'clock tomorrow afternoon at the latest."

Li Cheng said slowly.

"Okay," He Ao nodded, "Tomorrow morning, I will leave you the time and address for tomorrow's meeting at a conspicuous place in Ruodan. You can just bring your things. If the 'forging' fails in the end, I will

I will also tell you the corresponding knowledge.”

"Can I know what the specific knowledge is?"
