Parallel Armies——The Sound of the Turning Tide Chapter 46: A Famous Blacksmith in a Mediocre City
Carlin learned from the juice shop that business has been very good in recent years, but it is spring now, and the best sales are in summer when it is served with ice. He recommended the recently released apple juice with white lemon slices.
The four of them wandered around for a while, and finally waited until the concert started. Carlin was the first to enter slowly, following the crowd.
After entering the venue, Sophia took stock of the situation inside the venue, and then found her seat to sit down. She discovered that a powerful protective circle was installed in the concert hall.
Others also sat down one after another, and there was no nonsense after that. Half a minute after the venue door closed, the red cloth was opened. In the extremely quiet venue, the sound of friction between iron rings and metal poles could be heard.
It was a handsome middle-aged man with gray hair, wearing a black dress, sitting in front of the grand piano.
The piano solo has officially begun! This musician's playing style is sometimes impassioned, sometimes quiet and melancholy, or like a small bridge and flowing water, and it can also be meandering and smooth.
Several pieces of music shocked the audience present, including the four of them, and Zate also gained a lot of rhythmic insights. The last piece he played was "Life".
"Life" consists of several stages. The first stage is isolated single notes that go against the normal rules of playing, then it is vigorous growth, young and high-spirited, steady steps, then it begins to decline, and finally it is peaceful departure. After one song, I am shocked.
In the middle, Mo Feiti left the stage, and then there was a storm of applause, which continued.
In addition to being shocked, several people also saw in their minds a life cycle from the beginning to the end through the magic of the music in the museum, birth - childhood - youth - adulthood - old age - old age. The little snakes of life and death seemed to chase each other, never ending.
Biting each other's tails.
Carlin clapped dumbly along with everyone's reaction.
Sofia was shocked by the music with wonderful artistic conception, and her mood was extremely agitated. She couldn't help but follow the crowd to applaud the great musician. She had never thought that the music described in the novel could be so shocking, even if it was
Some bard techniques were applied to it. But there is no doubt that Mo Feiti only used pure music to express the artistic conception he understood.
After the finale, both Dinefel and Zate remembered a past memory.
The former saw a large amount of purple energy attacking him in a space crack in a laboratory that was not his own, destroying his body, but a small amount of psychic energy preserved his head. He did not die completely. And that space
There seems to be a big eye behind the crack observing the world.
The latter recalled the memory of a giant wolf holding a small wolf in its mouth, running continuously in the forest of the mountains, and finally the giant wolf collapsed in a human wheat field. The giant wolf then instantly turned into countless nutrients and nourished a large number of plants that grew rapidly.
.And the little wolf turned into a naked child - this child was not her, but had similarities with her mother.
Time passed by quietly, and it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. Because the four of them were sitting at the back, they were the first to leave the museum.
"Although I listened to a very shocking concert, I always felt that I missed something." Sofia still thought about the scene in her mind. She felt that ordinary audiences could not "see" it. The girl thought for a while and found
We set up a snack stall, ordered some snacks to restore our mood, and pretended to look in the direction of the entrance of the venue unintentionally.
"I feel like I've gained a lot this time." Dinefel was in a rare good mood. He let out a slightly stiff smile and followed Sophia, but he had no intention of eating. He leaned silently against the wall, seemingly still savoring the afterglow of the concert.
At first, Carlin wanted not to leave, but stood a little further away from the door to take a look at the people coming out. This was very conspicuous, but he pretended to be a country bumpkin who had never been to the city and never heard music, and looked at him blankly.
At the door of the venue, he was thoughtful. His hands would knock rhythmically on the shield on his back from time to time, with an unfinished expression on his face.
Zate reached the other side of the street. While reminiscing about the previous music, he curiously looked at the people coming and going around him. At the same time, he also paid attention to the entrance of the venue.
Sofia, who was observing, saw a fat middle-aged man dressed as a businessman. His confusion was faked. When he looked at Karin and Zate, he frowned slightly, and then continued walking as if nothing had happened, towards the direction of the cathedral.
Walk down the street.
Sofia secretly signaled the businessman to her companions with her eyes, then watched Karin and Zate shake their heads to indicate that something was wrong with them, and then pretended to follow the businessman and walked towards the street in the direction of the church. Although both of them were
I just didn't notice this look.
Dinefir, who was distracted just now, pretended to be on the same road and was hanging far behind Sophia, ready to pick her up at any time.
Karin muttered to himself and walked in the direction of Zate, saying something and pointing in another direction. "Wait a minute, let's go." He just walked in another direction here, maybe because he couldn't think of it.
The people who came out at the back were so surprised that there were four people in strange clothes.
"Then which way should we go here?" Zate also guessed what Karin was thinking and said irrelevant words.
"It's better to find a grain store or something. The guards may not be busy in the hotel, so go prepare something for them." Carlin said.
"Okay, let's go and have a look." Zate agreed.
After making a decision, Carlin asked passers-by about the locations of the grain store and the blacksmith shop. He randomly found a shop assistant who seemed to be relatively idle and asked: "Excuse me~, I want this. By the way, is there any blacksmith around here?"
shop?"
Using the excuse of buying something, he could easily ask for the location of the blacksmith shop, and because the two of them were dressed in eye-catching clothes, it was obvious that they were not locals, so the shop assistant thoughtfully told Carlin how to get there, and introduced it in detail.
one time.
First of all, the blacksmith shop is located in the same craftsman street as the carpenter shop. This is a small street, because there are not many citizens who need the skills of blacksmiths and carpenters, so these shops can only make ends meet after dividing the work.
Then the shop owner also told Carlin that there was a very powerful blacksmith in Artisan Street. It was said that the armor and weapons used by kings of unknown generations were made by his grandfather, and this blacksmith was carefully trained by his grandfather.
"Oh, thank you very much, boss." Karin led Zate and walked in the direction pointed out.
After arriving at the place, the two of them first looked at the shopkeepers in this artisan street to see if they were all busy working or just hanging out in a daze. At the same time, Carlin looked for the rather well-known shopkeeper along the way.
According to what the previous shop owner said, the carpenters were very idle, but what Carlin saw was a busy scene, with the carpenters and blacksmiths working enthusiastically. So if he wanted to find a well-known blacksmith - what if he wasn't?
As for the shop owner...it may take a lot of time to inquire.
[Huh? Are carpenters also so busy?] Carlin went to a carpentry shop and asked what the craftsmen were doing: "Can you still take on jobs?"
The carpenter hesitated and couldn't tell, but generally speaking, it was a part of a car.
"It seems like you are not very free. Have you had any big customers recently?" Carlin asked casually without expecting a response from the other party, preparing to go to the blacksmith shop to have a look.
“It’s urgently needed, and it’s done right away, and the price is right there.”
"Tsk, when did it start? Can you finish it today?" Karin looked slightly unhappy.
"It's been more than half a month, I guess I'll have to work for a few more days to finish."
"Forget it, thank you, master. I don't have to. Do you know that there is a famous blacksmith here?" Carlin looked at the brick shop opposite, which was quite peaceful.
"I've heard of it, but I'm not sure who it is." The carpenter continued driving in the nails without raising his head.
Karin walked out of the carpentry shop and walked towards the nearest blacksmith shop. Zate followed closely behind, not daring to breathe.
The employees of the blacksmith shop that the rabbit and wolf demi-humans walked into were working on some relatively sophisticated car parts, mainly the axle part.
"Hmm...Master, do you have any manpower available here? I heard that you have a lot of orders recently?" Karin asked.
"No, if it's normal, I would be free now, but I didn't expect that the peak season this year is spring." One of the middle-aged blacksmiths with a blushing face said.
"Where are you going to send this shipment?"
"I don't know, I just know it's an order from a noble." The blacksmith shook his head.
"Master, can this be said?" The young blacksmith's apprentice hurriedly stopped the middle-aged blacksmith from continuing.
"Ahem, just pretend you didn't hear me, I didn't say anything." The middle-aged blacksmith laughed.
"Oh... I hope it's not out of stock. Have there been many adventurers or mercenaries recently? Or are the armors being renovated in the city?" Karin continued to ask.
"Mercenary? Haha, the blacksmiths in our Artisan Street can only make farm tools. There is only one craftsman who can make adventurer equipment, but it is just a rumor. It only came out in the past few years. The authenticity needs to be verified.
." The blacksmith shook his head.
"Hey, you know? Can you tell me the approximate location?" Carlin thought that he had asked the right person.
"I don't know which one it is. You can always find it if you ask one by one. It's getting dark now, so I'm not sure if I can ask them all before the curfew."
"Okay, thank you." Karin thought for a while and decided to ask each house one by one.
The two of them acted separately and began to inquire, but Zate's efficiency was really slow... Karin was very lucky to find the so-called famous craftsman when half of the shop was left at nightfall. The red-haired one-eyed man who claimed to be a famous craftsman was covered in blood.
They are all muscles, and the smoke on his chest from years of forging has made his chest skin black.
"I heard that you are the only craftsman in Rainbow Sleeve City who can make and repair weapons and armor. Your ancestors even made them for the kingdom."
The blacksmith who had just finished repairing a large iron spoon brightened up and said: "Although it is not as good as one-tenth of the craftsmanship of our ancestors, I am willing to contribute my modest efforts."
