At this moment, the robbers were lined up in several rows, while the recently released women walked past them in a line. Liu Guanfeng stood on the steps, observing these robbers. Liu Guanfeng's purpose was to see which of the robbers had ill intentions, especially those who had bullied these women in the past. He would definitely not keep anyone with questionable character around him.
Soon, some robbers were beaten by the women, and some were even attacked by five or six women in turn. After everyone had passed, Liu Guanfeng pulled out those who had been beaten and counted a total of forty-seven people.
At this point, there were less than three hundred robbers remaining. Liu Guanfeng looked at them and said, "You have passed the first round of tests. From today onwards, you will be my private soldiers. In the future, you will only obey my orders. If you cannot do this, you can step forward now."
The robbers exchanged glances but no one stepped forward. Liu Guanfeng nodded in satisfaction, "Very well, I hope you can live up to this."
Liu Guanfeng turned to Yang Guo and said, "Take me to the Three Heads' courtyard to look for something."
Yang Guo led Liu Guanfeng and others to the Third Leader's courtyard. Liu Guanfeng then called in twenty of the recently surrendered robbers to help search the place while Little Black used his spiritual sense to supervise these twenty individuals. The twenty men began rummaging through everything and soon discovered a small safe under the Third Leader's bed, which contained a large amount of gold and silver jewelry. One robber noticed that Liu Guanfeng and the others were not looking and secretly tucked some into his own clothes. Liu Guanfeng smiled slightly from outside.
They then rescued five women from the Third Leader's courtyard and went to the Second-in-Command's room. Liu Guanfeng brought in fifty more robbers from outside. The items and hidden wealth in the Second-in-Command's courtyard were much more than those in the Third Leader's. Among these robbers, four again secretly stashed money into their clothes, but none of this escaped Liu Guanfeng and Little Black's spiritual sense.
After rescuing the women from the Second-in-Command's courtyard, they arrived at the Boss's yard where Liu Guanfeng once again brought in one hundred men. They not only found a large number of items inside but also rescued several young girls. Just as everyone was happily collecting things, a robber suddenly ran over and said, "Young Master, we found a secret passage in the Boss's bedroom; everyone is waiting for you."
Liu Guanfeng nodded, "Lead the way."
After saying this, Liu Guanfeng followed behind this robber toward the secret passage. The entrance was behind a bookshelf in the Boss's room. Looking at the dark hole, Liu Guanfeng nodded to himself, thinking: It seems this Boss has hoarded quite a few treasures. He bent down and entered the hole.
The leading robber held a torch to light the way for Liu Guanfeng. Fortunately, the entire passage was not damp and was well-ventilated. After walking for a while, they arrived at a large door. The door was secured with a massive iron lock; fortunately, there were no traps on this knightly continent; otherwise, entering would have cost them dearly.
Seeing Liu Guanfeng standing before the iron door without hesitation, Copper Bull picked up his hammer and walked over, smashing the iron lock with one blow and deforming the door as well. Then he pushed hard on the iron door until it slowly opened. By torchlight, Liu Guanfeng saw a dazzling sight; it was filled with gold coins and jewels obtained from robbery by the Boss. At the very back of the treasury stood a weapon rack with two precious swords displayed on it.
Next to the weapon rack was a table with several small boxes of varying sizes on top of it. As Liu Guanfeng approached the table, he felt a familiar sensation again; even the small iron badge he carried from Starfall City’s palace vibrated slightly.
Liu Guanfeng carefully walked to the front of the table and picked up one of the small boxes. It was a small wooden box intricately carved with beautiful patterns. He cautiously opened it to find a small black plaque lying quietly inside; it resembled the one he wore at his waist but was engraved with a circular ball design. Quickly placing the small plaque safely away, he approached the weapon rack and picked up one of the precious swords. As he drew it out, a wave of heat rushed toward him. He could faintly see red energy flowing along the blade; Liu Guanfeng nodded—this was indeed an excellent Fire Attribute sword.
On the hilt of the sword, two words were carved: "Blazing Sea." He took out another sword, a metallic one, with the words "Golden Light" engraved on its hilt. Liu Guanfeng held both swords and walked out of the secret chamber, instructing the bandits behind him to take all the items away.
As Liu Guanfeng exited the boss's secret chamber, Qifeng Ge was standing in the courtyard. Seeing Liu Guanfeng come up with two swords, he approached him and asked, "Junior Brother, did you find anything good in the Treasury?"
Liu Guanfeng presented the two swords to Qifeng Ge. "These two swords can be considered treasures." Qifeng Ge took the sword and drew out Blazing Sea, a wave of heat rushing towards him. "This is... this is 'Blazing Sea'?"
Liu Guanfeng nodded. "Isn't it written right here?" It wasn't that Liu Guanfeng didn't understand treasures; it was just that single-attribute equipment didn't excite him much. Moreover, he had a master blacksmith like Xuanwu by his side, so he could easily overlook such works. However, just because he didn't like them didn't mean others wouldn't appreciate them.
At that moment, Qifeng Ge's hand holding "Blazing Sea" began to tremble. Liu Guanfeng looked at Qifeng Ge and asked, "Senior Brother, what's wrong with you?"
"Junior Brother, do you know who forged this 'Blazing Sea'?"
Liu Guanfeng shook his head. "I'm not sure about that. But the forging level of these two swords is definitely much better than your shield."
Qifeng Ge's face flushed with embarrassment. "How can my work compare to his? This 'Blazing Sea' was forged by Xiang Sheng, the first president of the Blacksmith Guild and my master's first disciple. He used Fire Heart Rock for forging and mixed in cores from three Fire Department magical beasts over a month. This sword can be considered the first artifact on the entire Knight Continent. I can't believe a bandit has collected it; it's truly a disgrace to this sword's reputation."
Liu Guanfeng nodded. "So this is my Senior Brother's masterpiece; no wonder the craftsmanship is so exquisite." Qifeng Ge carefully sheathed "Blazing Sea" and handed it back to Liu Guanfeng.
Qifeng Ge then drew out the second sword, "Golden Light," and golden rays emanated from its blade. At that moment, tears streamed down Qifeng Ge's face. "Senior Brother, what is the origin of this 'Golden Light'?"
"This 'Golden Light' is a work by Huang Sanlang. He used high-grade metallic ore accumulated over his lifetime and spent a month fusing it together, along with three cores from Golden Beasts—one of which is from a Golden Dragon. After another six months of forging, this 'Golden Light' became the weapon most coveted by all Golden Class knights on the Knight Continent. Moreover, this was Huang Sanlang's final work; look closely at this sword—there are some red substances on it."
Liu Guanfeng examined it closely and indeed found some red materials embedded in the blade of "Golden Light." He looked at Qifeng Ge in confusion because metallic swords should be entirely golden; could there be Fire Attribute ore mixed in?
"Senior Brother, what are these red substances? They shouldn't be Fire Attribute ore; otherwise, this sword would be no different from a useless one."
Qifeng Ge shook his head. "These red substances are not Fire Attribute ore; they are blood. When this sword was forged, Huang Sanlang exhausted all his vitality. During the forging process, he got so excited that he spat out a mouthful of blood directly onto the sword. His metallic blood fused into the sword, which is why when 'Golden Light' is wielded, it emits a red glow. Some people even call this sword 'Blood Gold.' Furthermore, after Huang Sanlang passed away, some say his soul has been infused into this sword."
Qifeng Ge sighed as he slowly sheathed the sword, gently caressing its blade before reluctantly handing it back to Liu Guanfeng. Liu Guanfeng did not hesitate to take it, knowing that a fine sword in the hands of a blacksmith was merely an object to admire, but in the hands of a knight, it would become a deadly weapon and a protective charm. Therefore, Liu Guanfeng did not intend to give these two swords back to Qifeng Ge; they should be given to those who needed them most.
Liu Guanfeng led Qifeng Ge back to the square in the front yard and instructed the remaining hundred or so bandits to go to their communal Treasury and bring out everything inside. The entire supervision of this process was entrusted to Little Black. Before long, various supplies filled the open space in the center. At this time, Leo also leveraged his position as President, quickly instructing his subordinates to categorize all the items and keep a record, handing the account book over to Liu Guanfeng.
Looking at these goods, Liu Guanfeng felt an indescribable joy. He had not expected that such a small place as Black Wolf Mountain would contain so many resources, including not only food but also a large number of weapons, armor, countless medicinal herbs, cores, and jewels.
Liu Guanfeng called Leo over: "Leo, President, I am willing to sell you all these weapons and armor. Are you interested?"
These weapons and armor were quite ordinary, but for someone like Leo, the President, they represented a significant fortune. Since Liu Guanfeng and his Five Boys had taken over the entire stronghold, all the resources inside rightfully belonged to him. Therefore, when Liu Guanfeng offered to sell them, Leo was naturally very pleased: "I wonder how you wish to sell them, Benefactor?"
"I will hand over all these weapons and armor to you; you just need to prepare an equivalent amount of food for me. As for the specific quantity, I'm not a businessman; just decide what you think is appropriate. However, one thing is important: I cannot take advantage of you since you've helped me quite a bit this time."
Leo glanced around; there were nearly a thousand sets of weapons and armor on the open ground. This was no small income, and judging by their craftsmanship, they could be considered high-quality goods. Leo quickly nodded: "Rest assured, Benefactor; I will ensure you receive a satisfactory price."
Then Liu Guanfeng took out half of his gold coins—around thirty thousand—and handed them to Leo: "Leo, President, please take this money and help me gather more food."
Leo promptly assured Liu Guanfeng that he would take care of it.
After everything was settled, Liu Guanfeng addressed the women and boys in front of him: "If anyone wishes to leave, come here to receive two gold coins for your future living expenses. Those who wish to follow me are welcome."
Those who could still find relatives quickly took their travel expenses home. Liu Guanfeng counted and found that there were still twenty-three women and forty boys remaining. He had already made arrangements for them; he planned to keep these boys by his side as Royal Guards while sending the remaining women to Nameless Island to cook and do laundry for his private soldiers. This way, everyone could be accommodated. If any woman could form a bond with his private soldiers, it would further secure their loyalty towards him.
