As the king of Gondolin, Charles, the cheap uncle, Turgon, has a tall body, a straight and three-dimensional facial features, and a calm and steady face.

Like his sister, he also likes white, and always wears such a colored robe when he goes to the palace to attend meetings or at the moment of this family dinner.

"Whether you want to study this subject in depth or just be prepared to understand, he can meet your requirements," he said.

However, before Charles responded, Aritiel spoke next to him.

"Which master is it?"

"Enidel." Turgon replied.

So Arethier fell silent.

Charle thought that his entangled mother might object, but when she turned around, she was only facing an encouraging pair of eyes.

However, Charles could feel that she was feeling lost, but she didn't show it.

This made him unable to help but open his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

...

The attic skylight is located at the top of the center of the roof. Whether the sun is in the east or west, the sun can shine through the special window and completely cover the messy workbench below.

A black-haired elf with a tough facial features and a brown short shirt and trousers was sitting in front of the workbench, concentrating on cutting a ruby ​​material with a saw in his hand.

After carefully cutting it into several pieces, he picked up other tools to cut and polish pieces of different sizes twice until he initially had a general shape.

Then he switched the tools again and began the precise and tedious polishing work...

Cut, preform, grind, polish…

Next to the jeweler, Charles stood there, quietly watching the craft go from the beginning to the increasingly complicated and refined.

Sandpaper, engraving knife, tray, diamond grinding saw, unique potion for polishing…

The numerous tools were constantly picked up and put down by the jeweler named Enetidi. The sunlight shining above his head was always full of brightness, which allowed him to process the gradually forming ruby ​​in his hand more carefully and focused.

Finally, a shiny finished product that revealed the burgundy color in the sun appeared in front of you.

"A heart that is not impatient is the basic quality of becoming a jeweler." Putting this gentle and hard diamond-shaped ruby ​​in Charles's hand, the other party said: "But the most important thing is to have a pair of eyes looking for beauty and a skillful hand that can create this beauty."

"You have also seen that although these processes are complicated, they are not difficult for us. But why are some jewelers sought after by the public, while others can only be unknown?"

Because this is a world where you look at "faces".

Charles answered silently, nodding as if he was taught.

Although he already knows the jewelry polishing process in Slond, Nagor, and even feels that he can basically get started.

But since this Nodo jeweler named Enetil can be recognized by Turgon, it must be unique.

Relatively speaking, Charles is just a rookie who has not yet started. He has a high eye and low skill, so he will naturally not underestimate him.

So the study began for a month.

Understanding the processing process of rubies does not mean understanding all gems, various gems, crystals, pearls, agate, diamonds, even gold, etc.

The more gorgeous the beauty produced from raw materials, the more complex the processing techniques you need to learn.

Because of the different materials and the inner embryos of the gems are different, the skills and tools required are also different.

It took Shire ten days to learn these alone.

But more importantly, another technique.

That is how to gather the heart of a jeweler.

In Charles' thinking, it is about how to form a professional design concept and personal beauty.

Just talking about beauty, everything in the world has its own beauty, even racial civilization.

How to find a raw material that perfectly matches its temperament and then incorporate it into jewelry is a long-term effort.

This kind of accumulation is not a skill in the hand, but a state of mind, or an understanding of beauty.

It is also the difference between jewelers.

Ordinary jewelers may only teach the use and extension of jewelry craftsmanship, but this person named Enetil is more inclined to teach the invisible concept of Charles and his deeper personal style.

At the same time, he has a lot of professional experience. Often, Charles thinks that the finished product is pretty good. After a few glances, he can find various obvious defects and better directions for improvement.

So although Charles had mastered the processing and production of various gems in just ten days and made the finished products alone, he even learned to dissolve precious metal jewelry that extends jewelry for two days.

But he still has not left the ranks of apprentices.

At the same time, he was confused.

Forging can use molds to imprint secret texts and then incorporate them into weapons. How to use the method of polishing jewelry?

In ten days, he learned a series of techniques from raw materials to finished products in various types of jewelry. Because he had a foundation in forging, he didn't bother to worry much and even mastered the relevant techniques of jewelry shaping.

However, a month has passed, but there is no clue about this bottleneck.

Shire tried to inscribe the secret text on the embryo of the gem, but ineffective it wasted several pieces of raw materials.

Enetil, who taught him, found that the king's nephew seemed to be troubled, but he did not observe any difficulties this person had encountered in jewelry.

From the knowledge and experience beyond this era, Charles's path in jewelry has gradually become clear, which also makes Enetil sigh in secret.

He believed that Charles would be an alternative top jeweler in time.

But how could he know what Charles is thinking now, but how to elevate this process to another level?

...

Two months after Charles arrived in Gondolin, he no longer had to go to Enetil to report every day. He took his finished product to ask for advice every now and then.

Most of the time, Charles was thinking about how to break through the bottlenecks encountered, and rarely contacted outsiders.

So much so that there were rumors in Gondolinne that the nephew of the foreign king was obsessed with jewelry polishing and was not good at socializing.

This is similar to the rumors that he was obsessed with forging when he was in the Land of Seven Rivers.

However, for the Nordo elves who generally love various crafts, this trait is completely in the ranks of advantages.

Of course, Charles did not spend all his time studying. He took time out of necessary practical learning, and he would take time to accompany Arethier every day, while dealing with various problems of his cheap uncle Turgon at the family dinner.

In terms of academics, knowledge, weapon usage skills and military training, etc.

Shire did not show any extraordinary abilities, but this person was quite satisfied with Shire's basic situation.

However, he also discovered many shortcomings of this nephew.

For example, he had a very little understanding of various customs and etiquettes in the clan, and he had a strong accent and misunderstanding in the language of Nodo.

This was expected. After all, he had lost no one to teach him since childhood, so it was already a surprise to him to be able to master Nodo's initially.

Before, he even thought that this person, who only knows the current common language.

However, no matter how surprised it is, there must be remedies that should be made.

Although the nephew's paternal bloodline comes from Cinda, Turgon believes that he is enough to be included in the Royal Family of Nodo.

The qualified Kunya language is a science that the Nordo royal family must master - although most Nordo has given up on this language and instead used the Sinda language.

In addition to this, the words written by Canier are also very "ugly".

This is not a subjective ridicule, but an objective fact.

But the same sentence is reasonable.

Gondolin's Rune is similar to the writing of external texts, so this is necessary to improve.

At the same time, the pronunciation of the words here is obviously different from the outside world and is more perfect.

So Turgon has been thinking about finding a language and writing teacher for this nephew, but in fact he has someone to choose.

It was just because Canar was becoming increasingly obsessed with jewelry craftsmanship that he did not speak immediately.

However, before Turgon could find a second teacher for his nephew, there was an elf noble who asked him to come to visit Charles to learn from his master.

If it were ordinary elves, he would not have paid any attention to it. He just came to him to "request for connections" with him. However, Rog, the lord of the Fury Hammer family, one of the ten major families of Gundolin.
