In the forging yard, the windmill on the roof rotates, and an iron chain is used to pull up the forging hammer. After reaching a height of one meter, the forging hammer falls and hits the red-hot bar iron on the anvil, and the roar of the impact continues.
Despite the shock at first sight, the working process of this machine is so repetitive, monotonous and boring. Robin, the secret agent from the Principality of Os, only watched it for one day, and the excitement was over, leaving only deep regret.
This broken machine is really a scam. People who spend a lot of money to buy the machine design are even more stupid. And people who are short of money and use the magic items they carry with them to buy the design are even more stupid.
This idiot is none other than Robin himself.
Who would have thought that a horse could actually deceive people? Who would have thought that the voters of the Dark Sun would show up in the name of law enforcement inspections, making the atmosphere tense? Who would have thought that the always scheming secret agent would be nervous? Robin had to find a way out in a short time
make decisions within.
As a result, Robin and Martin pooled their money and bought a thick stack of secret design drawings of the so-called 'Wind Forging Machine'. After buying the drawings, they were glad that although they had spent a lot of money, the drawings should be correct.
, this is not a loss.
But when the dwarf leader of the forging field saw them again, he smiled and asked: "You two also spent money to buy blueprints? How much did you spend?"
This question directly revealed the truth. Robin and Martinton felt frightened and nervous, feeling that they had been seen through. However, the dwarf's words did not seem to be a warning, but rather like teasing and watching a good show.
Gond's 'chief forger' asked: "What do you mean by 'also bought'? Did you also buy it?"
The dwarf smiled mockingly to himself, "On the first day I came here, the dead horse was sold to me. I was so excited at the time, and the power of the forging machine shocked me so much that I lost my mind. I thought it was an immeasurably great invention.
.
So I borrowed money everywhere and spent two hundred gold coins to buy the blueprint. Later I found that many craftsmen in the forging yard had spent money to buy it. In fact, the dead horse came when we were frightened by the forging machine.
I’m selling one for sure. How much did it cost you?”
What does ‘one sell, one is accurate’ mean?
Are you talking about being a fool?
Robin's face turned pale, "We collected more than a hundred gold coins, but we really ran out of money, so we had to buy one of my magic items. The horse said it didn't have enough five hundred gold coins, so he asked us to sign another one.
An IOU of one hundred gold coins."
"Five hundred gold coins?" The dwarf stared in disbelief and laughed loudly, "You two are really big fat sheep, you actually spent five hundred gold coins. Now I feel much better. It doesn't matter if you owe money, just stay and work for a year.
, you can basically pay it off.”
In the forging yard, the other craftsmen all laughed naively, looking at the two newcomers as if they were fools. Although the matter was not explained clearly, Martin and Robin used their brains to understand that they had been tricked. Robin said angrily: "
Why didn’t you remind us?”
The dwarf curled his lips and said, "I am a gray dwarf from the Dark Territory. I cannot suffer the consequences alone. We are short of manpower, so don't think about escaping. The entire Harmony Village is under the surveillance of the Holy Light. Don't even think about being lazy, otherwise I will
Report you to the Holy Light.
Stay with peace of mind, our life here is actually quite good, much better than elsewhere. There are indeed some new technologies that can be learned in the forging field. As long as we can get that wind-powered forging machine, we will all become forging masters. Your gold coins do not count.
White flowers.”
Before the gray dwarf finished speaking, a human craftsman ran over and reported: "Boss, we are in trouble again."
"The slide rail is bent again?"
"No, it's more serious than that. The impact of the forging hammer was too strong and the anvil cracked."
"Ah..., this damn forging machine can actually crack an anvil. I swear on my grandfather's wine glass that the gray dwarves in the underground have never seen anything like this. Don't be stunned, you two, hurry up.
Come and help."
Robin and Martin looked at each other, feeling as if they were on a pirate ship and couldn't get off.
This tiredness continued day after day, and Robin no longer felt excited. After work and get off work, he dragged his tired body back to the dormitory arranged for him after dark. When he entered the room, he saw his companion Powell applying potion to himself, "You are so What happened?"
Powell raised his eyes blankly, then dropped them again, "I can no longer pretend, or the devil has already seen through my identity. He is torturing me, humiliating me, and laughing at me. I try to counter him with my faith in my Lord.
of power.
But...but he doesn't seem to care about me. Who I am, what I am doing, and what identity I have behind me, that evil spirit doesn't care at all. He only asks me to practice with him, practice constantly, and even accuses me.
I'm not fierce enough or hardworking enough."
"Have you ever seen such a person?" Powell shouted angrily, and said in a puzzled and incomprehensible tone: "He learned too fast and was very talented in fighting. In a few days, he made rapid progress.
He is very agile, fast and deadly. Not only does he have good eyesight, he also has better hearing. He even asked me to practice unarmed and blind fighting. He accidentally let slip that he had mastered some power of law.
He has the explosive skill of a berserker, which can suddenly make him several times stronger. At the moment when he becomes stronger, he seems not to be afraid of any harm. I once clearly cut his arm, but nothing happened to him.
This evil spirit is so scary, I think we should run away."
Robin snorted twice, but said in frustration: "You can't escape. The halfling elect is in the village. The devil's guards are also many in number and their strength is not bad. Unless there is a chance to contact our people in the Gray Mud Village.
Come and respond, otherwise you won’t have a chance.”
Powell wondered, "Robin, why have you become so depressed?"
"I'm not depressed, but I'm very tired, and I don't even have the strength to escape. Today at the forge, the damn forging machine broke the anvil. We are trying our best to make a new cast steel.
anvil.
It is very difficult to make a large steel casting, and more than a dozen of us craftsmen have a lot of headaches. When the demon learned about this, he came to the forging field to encourage him, saying that it was "on-site investigation and inspection work."
I just met that young man today, and he gave me a gold coin bounty, saying that scientific and technological progress is the improvement of every detail, and he asked us not to be discouraged and to have the courage to try and make mistakes."
Robin suddenly started crying as he spoke, "In order to make that cast steel anvil, my head was dizzy and my whole body was exhausted. But after hearing a few words from the demon, I was actually a little moved. What kind of mental arcana is this? Too much
It’s terrible.”
The two of them sighed in the room, almost hugging each other and crying.
In the night sky at this moment, an owl is hovering in the mid-air in Harmony Village, as if it is looking for something. There are torch lights everywhere in the village, so lighting is not a problem, and the area near the tavern is very lively, with people coming and going.
The owl flew towards the tavern, trying to land on the roof. But suddenly a fast light arrow flew from the distance, passing over a distance of more than 100 meters without any sound, and hit the owl in the middle.
The owl flapped its wings violently, dropping a large number of feathers, and finally fell to the ground. Xili, who was shooting arrows, jumped down from the courtyard wall, silently put away her long bow, and said to Zhou Qingfeng: "Lazy and incompetent master, then
An owl was shot."
Zhou Qingfeng was still leaning against the wall at this moment and said in admiration: "Xili, you are so powerful. You can shoot a bird a hundred meters away in the dark, but I can't even see clearly. If you kill a person a hundred meters away, this
You are so handsome. Can you teach me archery?"
Hilly shook her head and denied unceremoniously: "Master, you don't have this talent. You'd better practice your melee combat. Just leave the long-range shooting to me. If you want to shoot from a long distance...,
Use a crossbow."
Zhou Qingfeng touched his nose and asked for trouble.
In the quiet woods a few hundred meters outside the village, a wizard in a golden robe was yelling: "Damn the evil nest, there is a very powerful archer inside. My magic pet was shot."
There are many people around the golden-robed wizard, standing solemnly and quietly, and their aura alone makes people feel that they are very powerful.
A tall, full-armored paladin stood up and said in a deep voice: "I'm very worried about Powell. He has good abilities and is impeccable in his devotion to our Lord. But he is too impulsive, but his understanding of justice is always biased.
.
Fabbro..., you know this village best, do you have any other ideas?"
In the team, the 'Chief Alchemist' has a head as big as a bucket. If he had known it was so troublesome, he really shouldn't have been an expert on the 'Black Forest Issue'.
