*************************************************** *************************************************
The actions of the Hanbag team suddenly reminded me.
Although I don’t know anyone in the Demon Fortress, I am an alliance elder. At this time, it shouldn’t be an exaggeration to use my status to do something.
I hadn't thought of this before, thinking that little King Arthur knew the specific location of the second test and didn't need to spend energy looking for it. He subconsciously formed an inertial thinking and even forgot to find helpers.
After realizing this, the next step will be easier. I will naturally not stupidly stand up and call myself a so-and-so card elder with boundless power and endless harem. That is too stupid, and there is a certain chance that I will be defeated by the Demon Fortress. The adventurers were treated as idiots jumping up and down.
If you want to make better use of your elder status, of course you have to go to the person in charge here, that is, the owner of the Tianzihao blacksmith shop in the Demon Fortress, Uncle Mario who once helped me a lot in the Little Black Carbon incident... right? ? Well, the name is not the point.
I have been to Uncle Ma Daou’s blacksmith shop many times, so it was easy to find it. After a while, I found the shiny signboard. The steam inside was steaming, and the sound of tinkling knocking was endless, and the demons The fortress, this cold steel city, forms a wonderful echo, as if this is the strong beating heart of the steel city.
As soon as I saw this formation, I knew that Uncle Mario, who was obsessed with blacksmith skills and had no intention of being a good leader of the alliance, was in the shop. Fortunately, his craftsmanship was indeed one of the best in the Demon Fortress, and his price was reasonable, among adventurers. His word-of-mouth reputation is very high, and what he says can convince the public. Otherwise, Akara would have fired him in anger due to his unprofessional attitude. Of course, this may be a good thing for Uncle Ma Daou. Compared with the person in charge, he I would rather be a pure blacksmith.
Not disturbing the blacksmith at work is common sense that every adventurer who enters the blacksmith shop must follow. I stood at the door for a while, and finally waited until the tinkling sound stopped. Without waiting for his next move, I immediately took a big step. Step into.
"Uncle Ma Daou, I'm here to see you."
"I'm sorry, there's no one named Ma Daou here." A middle-aged, rough man with a beard on his face who hadn't shaved in an unknown number of days turned around from the iron stove and shouted angrily. .
"Sorry, sorry, then...Uncle Mario?"
"You bastard, you did it on purpose. You came here specifically to make me angry, right?" Greo couldn't bear it and threw down the red hammer. He turned around and yelled at me angrily. Not to mention, he was so angry. The messy hair that hasn't been taken care of for a long time really looks like a cock's comb.
I suppressed my laughter and said seriously: "The name is just a code name, Uncle Glio, why are you still as hot-tempered as a furnace?"
"Isn't it all because of you!!!" Greo muttered angrily, scratching his head, and suddenly the iron pins all over his head rained down, which was even more exaggerated than his scalp.
"I think... you'd better wash your hair first. How many days have you been staying next to the stove for how many days?" I was stunned. Did this guy come out of the volcanic ash?
"I don't know, I can't stop the hammer once I hold it, here." Grio pointed to a huge wooden box next to the stove, which was filled with a dazzling array of equipment, various armors, and weapons, at least seven or eight pieces.
A blacksmith's work efficiency has nothing to do with skills. If he wants to make some crude equipment randomly, then there is no problem in making five or six pieces of equipment a day.
However, if you want to carve it carefully, then any blacksmith will need to spend at least a full day's work to create a piece of equipment that you are satisfied with. If it is a big piece like heavy armor, it will take at least two days.
Therefore, these seven or eight pieces of equipment are likely to represent the results of a blacksmith in nearly ten days, maybe about half a month. In other words, Uncle Mario possessed by the blacksmith's soul can do many things besides eating, drinking, and defecating. He may have been wandering between the forging table and the furnace for more than ten days.
Seeing Uncle Ma Daou yawning as he walked towards the back room of the shop, I was really worried that he would fall asleep directly in the bathroom. If the alliance has an award for the best blacksmith of the year, then it must be awarded to him.
For a while, just when I thought my worries were about to become a reality, Uncle Mario finally came out. He had a haircut and a shave. He felt much more refreshed. If he was willing to take some time to take care of himself, then Definitely a handsome middle-aged uncle.
"Uncle Mario..."
"It's Glio, Glio!!!" As a result, the hair that was finally straightened stood up straight again.
"Don't be impatient, be impatient, Uncle Glio, have you been a lot more tempered recently? How sad would Little Heitan be if she saw you like this?"
"You still have the nerve to say that you haven't brought Little Black Carbon to see me after such a long time." Glio looked bitter. After the Little Black Carbon incident, he seemed to have acquired a trace of daughter-in-law from me. Attributes, apart from the blacksmith career, what else in the world is he most concerned about, then it is most likely the little black carbon that made him quite healed back then.
"Didn't you go to the camp to see her? Don't say that you, the leader of the alliance, can't go back." I gave him a helpless look. It would be much easier for you to go back to see her than bringing Little Heitan here to see you. Uncle?
"Well...it's not that I don't want to go back, it's just that as soon as I go back, I will be nagged by Great Elder Akara, especially since she has a lot of free time recently. Once she starts nagging, she can't stop at all. How can she have time to see the little one? Black carbon." Glio scratched his head and said painfully.
That's true. I feel the same way about Akara's recent changes. Her nagging skills have more than doubled.
But when it comes to talking, I can't agree like this. After all, the current relationship between Akara and I can be regarded as a den of snakes and rats, working together.
"Uncle Greo, you didn't do your job properly and didn't take care of the Demon Fortress at all."
"Everyone is no longer a child, so there is no need to manage anything. Besides, I don't want to be the person in charge." Grio complained.
"If you want to complain, go to Grandma Akara. It's no use telling me this."
"Forget it, I know none of you elders are sympathetic." Grio lowered his head in frustration. He was a little afraid of Akela. He didn't have the courage to ask him to say these things to Akela in person.
"Okay, okay, at worst, I will bring Xiao Heitan to visit you next time. She has been too involved in training recently. It's time to let her rest for a while. Just think of it as bringing her here to relax."
"Really?" Greo was overjoyed.
"Of course it's true. Can I lie to you about such a small thing? But before that, Uncle Greo, you have to do me a little favor." I smiled like a little fox.
"Sure enough, there is no free lunch in the world." Greo curled his lips and said predictably, as if he had already classified me into the same category as Akara.
Seeing that Glio agreed, I couldn't wait to tell him what happened.
"So it's this kind of thing. Why didn't you tell me earlier? You were so secretive. I thought it was something shameful." When Glio heard that he was going to save the Elf Queen, he suddenly became serious, and he seemed to be somewhat responsible for the alliance. Looks like a human being.
"King Arthur is really here? Where is he?" This momentum did not last for a few seconds before it was replaced by curiosity. He looked around, wanting to see the man who ruled the Dark Continent hundreds of thousands of years ago, and whose prestige still exists today. The king of.
"Unfortunately, she has no interest in Uncle Beard and went to visit the Demon Fortress with some of my other friends."
I shrugged helplessly. The little king was also extremely curious. When he heard that I was coming to a boring place like the blacksmith shop, he decisively abandoned my [loyal] mount and ordered Carolue and Aleus to accompany her shopping. After going there, she seemed to like the Demon Fortress, a place full of military style and a strong atmosphere of killing. It was indeed the King Arthur who killed the Dark Continent three times.
"That's such a pity." Greo said with regret on his face.
"It's no need to be a pity. I'll just wait until Artoria is rescued so that you can see enough of her. I'm afraid you will be disappointed. The King Arthur looks like now is not the same as before."
"When you say that, doesn't it make me want to meet him even more?" Greo rolled his eyes, then rolled his eyes, as if he had thought of some bad idea.
"I have helped you with this, but, dear Elder, you also know that adventurers are very independent. Unless it is an important mission related to the alliance or the entire Dark Continent, we cannot force them to participate. Of course, saving the Elf Queen is also a big deal, but the Elf Queen is your wife after all, so this big deal is somewhat mixed with some private matters..."
Seeing that Greo was talking about him, but refused to mention the topic, I became anxious: "Uncle Mario, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush."
"It's not Mario, it's Greo!!!"
After coughing a few times, Greo said the key point with a worldly look: "I mean, it is true that this mission is of great importance, and it makes sense even if the adventurers from the entire Demon Fortress are involved, but Well, maybe not everyone is willing in their hearts, there must be something that makes them excited in order to turn it into motivation."
As he spoke, Greo made a circle with his thumb and index finger. The meaning was clear, and he wanted me to understand it with [profit].
"I see, it makes sense." When I heard this, I compared my feelings with my own and felt that what Glio said was right. He asked me to help for free. If there was a good reason, I might help, but if there were some rewards or something, it wouldn't be a good idea. Are you more motivated?
"Okay, it's decided. Uncle Greo, please tell me. Whoever can find the place first, I will reward him with a perfect gem."
"Okay, okay, perfect gem, right?" Greo nodded with a sly smile and took note of it. It took him a few seconds to react.
"Wait, you mean the perfect gem?!!"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" I looked confused.
"Tell me, who are you? It can't be Elder Wu Fan. How can that stingy guy come up with such a good thing?" Greo shouted and raised the hammer in his hand high.
"..."
It turns out... I see, my reputation as the third stingiest Rogge has long been known to the outside world. Therefore, it is not surprising that Glio had such a reaction.
"Uncle Greo, I am a bit stingy, but I can also be divided into targets. The person I want to save now is my wife, Her Majesty the Queen of the elves. If I just give it away with some cheap rewards, it will not look like a dignified elf. Is the queen’s life worth only this little thing?”
"It makes sense." After thinking about it carefully, Grio finally eliminated his doubts and slowly put down the hammer in his hand.
"So either no reward is given, or the reward is given to the big one, even if it is just to maintain the face of the elves."
"Your Royal Highness, you have done your best."
"No, no, I'm just doing my best." I laughed dryly. In the eyes of others, perfect gems are very precious things, and their value is not inferior to high-level runes or essence-level dark gold and green equipment, but I have Microwave ovens can be synthesized directly, so their value will be reduced.
Of course, a perfect gem requires nine flawless gems to synthesize. It is also a big price for me. It is definitely not something that can be obtained casually. For the sake of my king, I can be regarded as spending my old capital. .
"It's just that the perfect gem is too early for adventurers in the second world. Wouldn't it be inappropriate?" The reward was too precious, which made Grio hesitate.
"It's a bit too precious, but the adventurers who can get here have not experienced mountains of swords, seas of fire, and blood. They no longer need to control the growth of their equipment like in the first world."
"That's true. Then I will really carry out the instructions. When the time comes, don't default on your debt."
"Okay, okay, I'll give you the reward directly first." Seeing that Greo had doubts about my identity as a gem upstart, I felt so rich that I stuffed a perfect purple gem into my pocket without saying a word. As he walked over, Cai Cai grunted twice.
"This... is really a perfect gem. You kid, I don't even know how to say good things to you. Anyway, since you show your sincerity, I won't show any ink, so I will go and help you get things done."
Putting the perfect gem on his body, Greo strode out of the blacksmith shop. After walking a long way, he burst into laughter.
Great, I finally tricked this kid once, making him always call me by the wrong name on purpose, making him delay in bringing Little Heitan.
A certain druid seemed to have completely forgotten the impact of the Little Black Carbon incident in the past when he fought against the pseudo-world power-level pain worms in the suburban prairie.
That last sword opened a huge canyon in the suburban prairie, and there is still a trace of momentum left. This momentum is enough to shock, fear, and worship the adventurers of the Demon Fortress who only have a state of mind.
Nowadays, the first thing that every adventurer who has just arrived at the Demon Fortress in the second world has to do is no longer participate in the hunting operation, but to admire the huge canyon and listen to the stories that are passed on one after another. A vivid story about a false savior's harem elders fighting against a demon king and beheading him on the suburban prairie.
Most of the adventurers who had personally experienced the aftermath of that battle have now arrived at the Demon Fortress, leaving only versions of rumors, many of which are exaggerated. The doubters believed it after seeing the Grand Canyon** points, in this way, the reputation of a certain elder will become bigger and bigger.
Therefore, there is no possibility that a certain druid will be laughed at as an idiot for raising his voice in the demon fortress. As long as he does it shamelessly and can prove his identity, then the entire demon group will The adventurers in the fortress absolutely rallied around and worked hard, sweating and sweating without mentioning the lunch box, let alone asking for chicken drumsticks.
Therefore, Greo's words of reward just now are definitely lies. Of course, it cannot be said that this perfect gem was obtained in vain. At least it can make a certain elder's image greater in the minds of adventurers, and maybe even Can take advantage of this to get rid of Rogge's third stingy nickname in one breath.
After handing over the specific matters to Greo, I immediately set off and found the young King Arthur who was still shopping happily and the patiently accompanying Colgate. I bullied Arius and asked her to tell Hans and the others on my behalf. We set off first.
As for Greo, he is also the head of the alliance, but he is not doing his job properly, but he still has the ability. Just let him arrange it by himself. We can take the first step with confidence. It is best to find the place first, so that we can save a lot of money. A perfect gem, hmm.
