"Add Sandeck's iron ingots, remember to use the extraction method to add them, don't just throw them away... Oh, welcome."
The footsteps that were constantly flowing on the street at the door changed slightly, sending several gradually approaching figures to the store of a blacksmith shop. A strong man with a white beard standing in the middle also took back his
The voice that had been in charge of the command turned to the group of players and smiled: "This is Fushan Blacksmith Shop, what can I do for you... Huh?"
"It's you?"
The white beard that trembled due to the impact of the loud voice paused in the air for a moment. The strong man with shirtless upper body looked sideways at the leading magician who walked into the shop: "The water is cut off in the abyss? How dare you come back?"
"Hey, hey, don't get excited, don't get excited." Duan Qing who answered him also hurriedly raised his hands: "Don't I just owe you fifty gold coins? Take it."
"Hmph, I guess you are wise." The white-bearded blacksmith took a money bag that came from the air and weighed it slightly with his hands. He snorted coldly: "So, are you here for credit this time?"
"Please, don't always think of me so badly, okay?" Duan Qing, who spread his hands, slowly walked forward: "I didn't do the credit card on purpose. What can I do if the old man doesn't give me money?
?I can’t give up all the materials I want to buy, right?”
"That is to say... you are rich now?" His eyes looked back and forth at the figures behind Duan Qing, and the white-bearded blacksmith's voice became much more surprised: "Are you finally willing to go out?"
"Yes." Duan Qing walked closer and nodded with a smile: "I have already visited the Santerius province and I just came back from there."
"Province of Santerius, I heard that there has not been much peace there recently." Throwing the money bag in his hand to a few workers helping him, the white-bearded blacksmith turned and walked towards the shop: "That Gram
Reese's kid just made a big fuss there, and I heard he made a mess among the neutral forces there... Hmm."
"Your Adventurer Association seems to have caused quite a lot of trouble, right?" He squinted at Duan Qing's face: "Although the Lion Emperor doesn't protect his own shortcomings, he has also set his sights on you, right?"
"I came here this time to inquire about this matter." Duan Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and then introduced the other figures behind him: "These are my four temporary teammates. We plan to
Let’s go to the Imperial Capital together to take a look, but because the recent situation is very chaotic, I want to find someone to inquire first..."
"So you found me here?" Amidst the constant collision of hammers around him, the strong man with a white beard turned his head impatiently: "How can I help you?"
"Don't be ridiculous, Uncle Ford, you are a well-known know-it-all in The Thebilis Castle." Duan Qing stepped forward again with an innocent face: "What happened in this castle, and what else can I hide from you?
?”
"Don't flatter me, at most I am one of the blacksmiths who is closer to the world." The white-bearded man known as Ford stared and replied: "Do you think this is what I want?
I don’t want to have any entanglements with those secular people at all, okay? Just because I always have to deal with those messy things in the union, I haven’t produced any works that can be viewed for nearly a month!”
"Uh...ah hahahaha."
Looking at the blacksmith who was waving his arms and starting to chatter, Duan Qing laughed slightly awkwardly. He winked at the teammates around him, and then gradually walked to the side and started.
While packing up his things, he stretched out his hand again: "We have no intention of interfering with your creative rhythm, but we came to visit today with the same intention, so"
"We have some information and want to ask you about it." He rubbed his hands while showing a polite look: "Regarding the recent changes in Thebilis Castle, can you tell me
Could you please introduce us a little bit?"
"It's okay if you don't come here to spend money, but you still want to get information from me?" Uncle Ford, who had turned his back, made a disdainful voice: "No way!"
"Don't, don't say that, uncle, for the sake of our frequent visits to your shop..."
"It seems that your reputation here is not high enough."
Smiling and walking to Duan Qing's side, the murmuring voice with fluttering blue hair interrupted Duan Qing's words in a low voice: "Okay, okay, instead of using your unreliable favor tactics, it's better to use something more practical.
What about methods, such as"
"Blacksmith, what do you need to exchange information with us?" She turned her head and looked at the uncle's back with an elegant and bright smile: "Money? Items? Or something else?
help?"
"Sure enough, he is a standard adventurer. He started to propose terms of exchange so quickly." After a slight pause, Ford's bright eyes slowly turned back: "But in my case
I will not make any unrelated transactions before completing a new work! Never!"
"That is to say, as long as we help you complete the breakthrough in forging technology, you can provide us with the corresponding information?" Another Snow Spirit Huan Bing, who was not willing to be outdone, stepped forward and also issued his own test: "
What kind of weapons do you need to build, and do you need us to provide materials?"
"Hey, that's not a bad tone." Finally turning around again, Blacksmith Ford's raised voice even drowned out the clanging hammers around him: "Do you really know how to forge? What else can you do?
What kind of good material?”
"We have plenty of good materials." Loud laughter came from the blacksmith shop on one side, accompanied by the hands belonging to Asahi Dongsheng holding them up: "This is the bear skin of the two furbolgs we met on the road.
, is our share, I wonder if it can satisfy you?"
"Bearskin? The furbolg in Sariland?" The blacksmith squinted at the face of the giant ax warrior: "You should go to the leatherworker to deal with that kind of thing that has never been burned, and bring it to me.
What is the use?"
"So... what about the magic cores of these furbolgs?" Gedmane from behind said in a low voice: "There are also some magic cores of other demonized monsters. These things should be very suitable for making weapons and armor with magical effects.
?”
"We have a lot of magic cores of this level here."
Glancing at the magic core handed over by the other party, the white-bearded man once again showed disdain: "What I need now are materials that can withstand my forging skills, and they must be high-end enough!
My creations are not something that ordinary materials can withstand. They must be able to withstand pressures of thousands of grams while also possessing sufficient toughness.”
His words gradually stopped, accompanied by the look of his bright eyes gradually widening. Duan Qing, who raised a gray-white scale in front of him, also showed a satisfied expression and slowly revealed his voice.
He smiled: "As expected, we still have to use our trump card."
"This, is this what it is?"
"Dragon Scale."
Nodding towards Gedman, Duan Qing then proudly introduced: "Although the specific source cannot be specified, this is definitely a genuine dragon scale, and if there is no mistake, this is still the most noble gold.
The kind on the Dragon Clan..."
"W-where did you get it?"
Grabbing the scale from the opponent's hand, blacksmith Ford's eyes moved back and forth between the shiny surface and Duan Qing's smiling face: "This kind of thing has not appeared on the mainland for hundreds of years. Where did you come from?"
All right."
"If it is really the dragon scale of the golden dragon, it does meet my established requirements." He looked at Duan Qing who still maintained that smiling face, and finally retracted his idea of finding the root cause: "But the legend
The scales of the golden dragon should also be golden, the luster of this scale..."
"Maybe it's because of the battle." Gedman stepped forward and replied with a smile: "If the master doesn't believe it, I still have some here, and I can provide them to you."
"Hey, hey, is this really..."
"Is this really good?"
The bright voice interrupted Duan Qing's subsequent questions, and the surprised voice of the white-bearded blacksmith echoed throughout the small shop. He snatched the scales from the hands of the heavy armored warrior and then held the stove against the stove.
Guang observed it for a while, then turned his head without delay: "Just wait, I'll be back soon."
"Hey!"
Looking at the scene where the blacksmith's figure instantly disappeared at the stairs behind the shop, Duan Qing retracted his outstretched hand and said: "I said, we just bet all those things to him?"
"It was originally my plan to use these materials in The Thebilis Castle." Waving his hands, Goldman replied with a smile: "And since he is a blacksmith that Brother Duanshui values, I must
There must be two brushes, right?"
"I just have a good relationship with him. I don't know much about this blacksmith's skills." Duan Qing sighed and replied, "But now that it's over..."
"Then we can only leave it to fate."
The tinkling sound of banging bells is still coming from all around the blacksmith shop, and the sounds of workers shouting from time to time do not seem to have changed much, but the stoves located deep in the shop are.
It became more and more powerful as time went by, as if it was constantly raising its temperature following some kind of instructions. I heard the beating of the bellows and the hum of magic, and I stood there waiting for a long time.
Duan Qing finally frowned. His eyes kept patrolling in the direction where the blacksmith disappeared, and finally focused on the location of the ceiling surrounded by several furnaces: "I see.
, that’s right.”
"The high temperature of the fire seems to be gathering in that place." Gedman, who also noticed something, lowered his voice and replied: "Uncle Ford should be working in that place."
"It's easy to gather heat, but how to complete the forging at such a high temperature... Ha." Xu Yuliu, with his arms folded, said with a smile: "I'm even interested in going up to visit."
"It's better not to disturb him." Asahi Dongsheng wiped the sweat from his forehead due to the high temperature: "Isn't this the usual setting that you encounter? You can't disturb the movement, alchemy, and weapon refining, otherwise all your previous efforts will be wasted.
Category……"
"Don't worry, the most critical stage has not yet arrived."
The heavy sound then reached the ears of several players, drawing their attention back to the blacksmith Ford who was gradually approaching: "The heating is still going on. I have to wait until those scales are completely softened before I can start forging."
"You...don't you have to keep watching?"
"Of course not, just leave it to my apprentices."
Reaching out to take the towel handed by one of the workers, the strong man with a white beard took the lead and drank a large glass of water in one gulp: "When the time is right, I will personally swing the last few hammers."
"In order to prevent me from being distracted at that time, it would be better for me to solve your problem first." He turned around and looked at Duan Qing's face: "Tell me, what do you want to know?"
"There have been signs of an increase in the number of nobles coming and going from this castle recently." Duan Qing calmed down his mood simply and quickly, and asked in a low voice with a serious face: "It's Emperor Drenier who has recently
Is there any move to suppress the military?”
"I don't know, but the entry of these nobles into the city was approved by General Steele." The blacksmith shook his head: "The reason... seems to be preparing for some event."
"what activity?"
"How do I know? They didn't invite me." Uncle Ford replied casually: "As one of the representatives of the blacksmith union, I can only tell you from the information we have learned that the empire's orders have increased recently.
.”
"The intensity is about 30% higher." He lowered his head: "You understand what this means."
"...Isn't there any movement from the noble faction?"
After remaining silent for a moment, Duan Qing still asked in a serious voice: "Such as raising objections or impeachment..."
"Except for the impeachment against His Royal Highness, I haven't heard any louder voices recently." The blacksmith shook his head and replied: "Of course, without the support of the aristocratic factions around the imperial capital, their voices would not be possible.
Out of the water."
"Has anyone come to Theblis Castle to ask for help?"
"Probably someone from the prime minister's group."
Throwing the wet towel aside, the blacksmith waved and turned around and walked towards the depths of the shop again: "The old-school nobles headed by the Romlia family have been unwilling to give up their interests. They will definitely take advantage of it.
We are taking this opportunity to give those who oppose it a big blow, so as long as the nobles who hold the territory in their hands will definitely support this action secretly."
"With this in mind, many other small moves can be added to it, but the specific content is not something a blacksmith like me can know." He turned around and watched Duan Qing's eyes gradually disappear.
On the stairs behind the door: "Enough has been said, you can think about the rest by yourselves."
"Then it's time to complete the work. If there's nothing else... don't come over and disturb me."
