Apocalypse

Dear Lord, when you read this note, believe that I have died, or more painful than to die, I was born in Tree Heart City, and I have lived in Tree Heart City for decades, I have been obsessed with forging since I was a child, so I am still making a living from forging today, and my biggest dream in this life is to let the Terrans have the forging technology that is comparable to or surpassing the Dwarves. But I didn't succeed in my life, just when I was about to give up this idea, a year ago I met Ryan, he was a natural blacksmith, in just one year, his skills were enough to match me, I felt that he could surpass me, even surpass the dwarven blacksmithing skills, but as his skills got closer and closer to me, I became more and more afraid, afraid that I had nothing to teach him, afraid that his talent would be mistaken by me.

But a few days ago, things took a turn for the better, a black dwarf actually came to the forging room with the dwarf's forging notes and found me, when I saw the notebook, I knew that the notebook was attached to the dark magic, but I still did not refuse the notebook, nor did I refuse his condition, which was to forge a batch of scimitars eroded by dark magic for the Knights of Champions, these scimitars will slowly erode the soul of the soldiers, and finally the dark magic in the body will explode at the critical moment, causing fatal damage to the heart of the tree. Please see this note to resolve the matter, I thank you here.

When I got the dwarven note, I was shocked by the content of this note, the technology I have been obsessed with all my life seems to be as primitive as a wooden sword, from today onwards I will take the initiative to accept the erosion of dark magic, but I will write my thoughts in the note every day, I hope that the adults can make a copy of this note and give it to my disciple Ryan, who is on the first floor of Tree Heart City, thank you.

When Ryan finished reading the first page, his eyes were already filled with tears, and then he turned back, only to see the dense text on the notebook recording Buddy's thoughts, until the last page was only a few words.

Ryan broke down and cried at the end, and fell to his knees. Chen Qingfan looked at Ryan in front of him and didn't stretch out his hand to pull it up, because he now knew that his master Badi had made a decision to die even though he knew that he was going to die, just so that he could tell his disciple the content of the dwarf forging technique. For this kindness, Ryan could not repay it.

Soon Zhou Pengyi helped Ryan up and said to him: "Our business is over, I hope you will not live up to your master's high expectations, and raise the forging technique to a higher level, and we should also leave with other commissions."

When Ryan heard that Zhou Pengyi was leaving, he immediately stopped the two and said, "You wait for me a while, I have something to give you." With that, he ran back into the house.

After a while, Ryan took out a carefully wrapped item from the house and handed it to Zhou Pengyi. Zhou Pengyi opened the package and was suddenly startled, a magical parchment with a light blue aura was tightly tied by a rope belt, lying quietly in the package. Zhou Pengyi looked at the items in his hand and exclaimed, "Magic Return to the City Scroll !!." Then he hurriedly returned it to Ryan and said, "This is too valuable, this is a life-saving thing at a critical moment, we can't ask for it."

Seeing Zhou Pengyi, who was shirking, Ryan hurriedly said: "This is an item that my master gave me, saying that it was for me to leave Tree Heart City in the future to learn self-defense when I was blacksmithing, but now I have decided that I will not leave Tree Heart City, and I will study my master's notes here, so I will give this thing to you, I hope it will help you."

Zhou Pengyi hurriedly waved his hand and refused: "This is a magic return scroll that can only be purchased for 200 gold coins, and we must not ask for !!."

Ryan continued: "If it weren't for your notebook, I believe it has been snatched away by the man in black, and I wouldn't have left my master's notes, you can fully accept this gift, so don't shirk it."

Zhou Pengyi and Chen Qingfan didn't do much when they saw that Ryan was so resolute, so they accepted the magic scroll back to the city. Soon after, Chen Qingfan and Zhou Pengyi said goodbye to Lane and went to the manor where the big mine owner Murphy was. On the way, Chen Qingfan asked Zhou Pengyi, "Why doesn't Mr. Buddy copy the dwarf technique in the notebook, but wants to experiment with it himself?"

Zhou Pengyi replied: "It should be half true or false, I don't want Ryan to be harmed, and the content in the note is written by dark magic, and when the dark magic is purified, it will disappear with the content, so I personally experimented with it."

Chen Qingfan sighed, and then asked: "What is the magic scroll back to the city, I see that you seem to understand, and you still say that the thing is worth 200 gold coins, what is it for?"

Zhou Pengyi said: "It is used to save your life, and 200 gold coins is definitely not much, when you are desperate, that scroll can save your life, and when you are in danger, I believe that 20,000 gold coins is also insignificant compared to your life."

Chen Qingfan asked curiously, "What is this for?"
