Episode 11: Yasi's Future Section 4: The Decision of the Elders of the Dwarves
Regarding this ordinary steel pillar, it refers to the steel ingot that the dwarves roughly refine from the ore.
Over the past month, the undersecretary of the Foreign Secretary has obtained the books that Corey borrowed from the Tree King, and worked hard to learn the language of the dwarves. He could still understand what Elder Gerard said just now, and softly translated it to the officer who was trying the sword just now. The officer was shocked.
My mouth was open for a long time and I couldn't close it.
"Master, I've been by your side this month. I've been very diligent in running errands even if I don't have any merit. Can you give me a good sword? I'll pay you any price." The officer who was trying the sword fell to his knees.
Tears burst into tears in front of Elder Gerald.
The Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs quickly translated. Elder Gerald was a very kind man. He understood what the officer meant and replied with a smile: "The sword just now was too bad. According to the rules of our dwarves, that kind of sword is a defective product.
If you want to be destroyed, I will make a good sword for you."
The Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs translated Elder Gerald's words again. Everyone present was so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths. They all had one thought in their minds: This is a defective sword. What does a qualified sword look like? What does a superior sword look like?
.
At this time, Elder Gerald said again: "Kori's friend has a subordinate named Aolando. Last time he helped me fight off the terrible and evil Orcs. His long sword was broken. The Orcs took advantage of his broken sword.
At that time, I attacked him fiercely. I gave him a long sword that could cut off the thick steel pillars of Sanhe, and he successfully repelled the orcs. Therefore, a defective sword will bring harm to the sword owner during the battle.
If it is dangerous, it must be destroyed."
After Elder Gerrard finished speaking, he explained the meaning of this embracing steel pillar.
The arms of the dwarves are short, and although their arms are not as thick as those of the humans, several officers made gestures and secretly cursed Ao Landuo for being so lucky. He really got a divine sword.
"A good sword must not only have a good blade, be sharp enough, and be strong enough, but also be able to sense the swordsman's fighting spirit and have the feeling of being integrated with the user." Elder Gerald said again.
The owner of the blacksmith house was thoughtful and immediately took out his best steel billets. He also wanted to learn some advanced skills.
Seeing the billet, everyone in the room shut up. They watched quietly, for fear of disturbing the sword master. In the eyes of these swordsmen and officers, this short old man was amazing and had great skills.
Elder Gerrard once again took out his big hammer and knocked on the steel billet. Suddenly he hit a piece and he stopped. He knocked a few more times with a solemn look on his face. He put his ear against it and knocked a few more times.
, asked the owner of the blacksmith house with a puzzled look on his face. "This steel billet is not good pure steel, but I deeply feel that a good sword can be made from this steel billet."
After hearing the translation by the Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs, the owner of the blacksmith shop took a look at the billet, patted his head and recalled for a while before replying: "My master made this decades ago. I remember that the master found an ancient stone slab.
It is written on the slate that if you add some other metals to steel, a very special steel will appear. I copied the words on the slate, but I don’t recognize it.”
With that said, the owner of the blacksmith house went back to the inner room and rummaged through the cabinets and took out a parchment roll. He looked at the words on the parchment roll. They were drawn according to the original slate. There were two kinds of words in the first few lines, and only one kind in the back.
Text.
Elder Gerald just glanced at it, then held the parchment in both hands and muttered something. It seemed that he was praying. After everyone waited in anticipation and anxiety for a long time, Elder Gerard said in a trembling voice: "This is
Ancient dwarf writing has ceased to be used since more than 10,000 years ago, but many of the miraculous techniques of our ancestors have been lost as a result."
After finishing speaking, Elder Gerald bowed deeply to the owner of the blacksmith house, which made the owner of the blacksmith house very uncomfortable.
"I will lend you your workshop and I will try out this steel billet for a week." Elder Gerald said in a trembling voice.
The Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs had a smart mind and immediately replied without asking the owner of the blacksmith house: "No problem, you can use it as you like." After saying that, he snatched the parchment from the owner of the blacksmith house and put it in front of Elder Gerald with both hands.
And ordered everyone in the house to be driven out.
Outside the blacksmith's house, the Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs cleared up the noise and said, "You have made a fortune. His Royal Highness Prince Cory will definitely reward you heavily. Just wait here carefully and don't disturb you."
"Yes, yes, I understand." The heavy bag of coins in his hand is what he doesn't understand.
Seeing the reaction of the blacksmith shop owner, the Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down. He looked kindly at the reluctant officers: "Tomorrow, all the blacksmith shops in the Emperor's Capital will open normally, and it will not affect
If it’s important for you, please come.”
The officers looked at each other and no one had any intention of leaving.
Seeing the handleless sword just now, just imagine what kind of sword would make them tempted. The officers seemed to have forgotten about the assessment at this time. At the same time, as swordsmen, they were full of expectations, looking forward to that special piece of sword.
What kind of long sword will the billet turn into?
Seeing that he could not persuade these people, the Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs ordered the escorting officers to guard them carefully, and he quickly rushed to the home of the Foreign Minister.
After hearing the report from the Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs, the Foreign Secretary immediately rushed to Corey's residence in the imperial capital. Hearing that Corey was in the palace, he rushed to the palace in a hurry to ask for an audience with Warner.
"Your Majesty, the distinguished guest of the dwarves is in the blacksmith's house at this time. The minister's deputy said that Elder Gerald was lost in work, and the minister came to report the matter." The foreign minister did not dare to do this himself.
Call the shots.
Warner glanced at Corey, and Corey coughed: "Then just let him be happy. You have to provide food and water. Safety issues are also very important." After hearing what Corey said, Warner said:
"Just do what Marshal Corey wants."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The Foreign Minister saluted and then said: "On my way to the palace, I went to the blacksmith house to have a look. There were many people outside the door, but fortunately they were all officers of the kingdom. Did you call them
leave."
"Who are you? Do these guys also know that the dwarf elders forged swords themselves?" Warner asked in surprise, because he had strictly ordered the foreign minister in charge of the reception not to let others know the identity of Elder Gerald at will.
When the Foreign Secretary heard this, he was really afraid that Warner would blame him, so he quickly explained: "These people don't know that in the afternoon, Elder Gerrard casually processed a sword blank that had just been red-hot from the furnace, and these officers were
As a swordsman, that sword can easily cut through dozens of good swords, which is an eye-opener for the officers, so they are waiting outside."
"Interesting, really interesting." Corey laughed. Not only the Foreign Secretary, but also Warner did not understand the meaning of Corey's smile.
"I have an idea and tell these guys. Once this sword is forged, it will be sold in the Royal Capital Square. Whoever pays the highest price will get it. Elder Gerald is one of the seven elders of the dwarves. Even if he is
The long sword forged at random is also a divine sword. The dwarves are the best blacksmiths, but they are not business people. It is hard to say that Elder Gerald may exchange the sword for a piece of bread. We cannot let him suffer."
Only then did Warner and the Foreign Secretary understand. The Foreign Secretary bowed to Warner and said, "Then I will make arrangements to put the blacksmith house under martial law, and then spread the word about the sale."
Warner waved his hand, indicating that the Foreign Secretary could leave.
"Corey, is there really no problem with this matter?" Warner was a little worried.
"Don't worry, there won't be any problems. Anyway, there is still time now. After the big ship is built, we still need to test the water, then prepare food and fresh water, and arrange the sailors. It's still early before the day of sailing." At this point, Ke
