In the south of Fengming City, there is another large commercial area, which is three times the area of Yunjiafang City. However, there are not many shops in it, but they are large, and each shop is very large. Because in addition to selling things, every store has a production factory next door, where many people work every day, called magic tool makers.
The job content of a magic toolsmith with slightly lower abilities is very simple, that is, lighting fires and moving things. Senior magic toolsmiths are responsible for smelting and forging. The division of labor is very clear, everyone is busy with their own things, and there will be no interruptions in work.
The family in charge of this southern district is called the Li family, and it is said that they have been famous magic weapon craftsmen for generations. The magic tools produced are usually very expensive, even for wealthy families, they are a kind of luxury goods. Basically, when their children reach adulthood, that is, after attending the coming-of-age ceremony at the age of 16, they will customize a magic tool for their children. Magic items, such as bracelets, necklaces, gauntlets, and breastplates.
However, there is an unwritten rule in this industry. The materials used by the magic toolsmith to make magic tools must be prepared by the buyer himself. Even so, a magic tool can usually be sold for 3,000 or 4,000 gold coins. Lijia The product must cost at least 5,000 gold coins.
Before reaching Fangshi, I heard the sound of metal being struck in the distance.
dangdangdang, dangdang, dang, dang…
The sound was crisp and sweet. If you listen carefully, you will find that the sound is not chaotic, but has a certain pattern, as if it is a piece of music. This piques Yunyang's curiosity.
"Listen, why do I think this banging sound sounds like a song?" Yunyang paused and said thoughtfully.
"Third Young Master, you heard it right. This is a famous forging song in the profession of magic toolsmith. There is such a story. It is said that a family of magic toolsmiths discovered when they were forging that day and night forging would make people feel bad. Numb, although he can complete basic tasks, it is extremely difficult to make high-quality magic items. No matter how hard the magic tool maker tries, he ends up in failure."
"One day, his youngest son picked up a wooden stick and sang nursery rhymes while imitating his father to hit the iron block. The magic tool maker immediately found it very interesting and tried to follow the speed of his knocking. The rhythm of songs that he is most familiar with. After a period of trial and error, the magic tool maker was finally able to fully integrate the beating rhythm into the songs. Since then, the magic tool maker's forging technology has gradually improved, and the production efficiency has also been greatly improved, and The forging process is not as boring as it used to be.”
"Soon, this method was imitated by many magic tool makers. They not only played to the rhythm of the songs, but also developed their own exclusive songs. This wave swept the entire magic tool manufacturing industry at once."
Li Baijia seemed to have encountered a new world. She clapped her hands and exclaimed: "Oh, oh, it turns out there are such interesting things. It seems that I really gained a lot from this trip."
Yunyang also became quite interested in this. This continent was really magical. In addition to pharmacists, there were also magic tool makers. Just like a new map opens in the game, new content always makes players feel refreshed and excited. (Oh, by the way, Uncle Gu seemed to have given me a magic tool. I remember it was a bracelet. Well, I forgot where it was and left it in the dust. I have to look for it when I get back.)
"By the way, Third Young Master, I know a very skilled magic tool maker here. His shop has a 100-year-old signature. Whether it is the magic tools he makes or the magic tools customized according to the customer's requirements. first class"
Yunyang raised his eyebrows: "Oh? That's great. When I first got here, I was still thinking about going to visit each house. It would save a lot of effort."
"However, this old man has a bit of a weird temper," Ye Ke said with some embarrassment.
"Oh? I would rather see him."
…
Ye Ke seemed to be very familiar with this area. Although he turned left and right, he didn't look like he was lost at all. After walking for about ten minutes, Ye Ke took Yunyang to a relatively remote shop. The store is not big, probably only about 100 square meters. It is divided into two standard areas, one is the forging area and the other is the sales area. The whole structure is made of wood, and a lot of metal materials are used to repair the seams, make supports, repair holes, and form triangular stable beams and columns...
Yunyang was a little dumbfounded when he saw it (hahaha, the 100-year-old sign really deserves its reputation. Looking at this house, it does look like it is a hundred years old)
Even the usually calm Xia Yu's mood fluctuated at this time (Is this house really safe?)
Ye Ke seemed to have expected this, and quickly explained: "Uh-huh, actually, even though this house is so shabby, their forging technology has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is absolutely reliable."
Yunyang hesitated for a moment but then walked over. What is introduced in front of you is a boiler. In front of the boiler, there is an old man with white hair who is hammering the metal. Next to it is a young man helping. A woman is unwilling to add firewood. This is probably the entire store. Manpower is available.
Ye Ke waved to the big man and quickly caught his attention. After the big man said a few words to the old man, the old man stopped working and walked over.
"Xiao Ke, I haven't seen you for so long, why did you suddenly come here today?" the old man said in a rough tone. This was actually the friendliest expression of the old man.
Ye Ke walked over and said softly: "I will give you a rich man today and let you make a lot of money."
Yunyang narrowed his eyes slightly and twitched the corners of his mouth a few times (Hey, hey, hey, I heard you very clearly, and the money is not mine, okay, I borrowed his money)
"Let me introduce to you, this is the third young master of the Yun family. I plan to come over to buy some magic tools." Ye Ke introduced the protagonist of this scene to the old man very seriously.
The old man just looked at Yunyang, then turned and left: "Follow me."
The old man led a group of people into the room where magic equipment was sold: "Don't touch it. There are traps everywhere. No one can save you if they are triggered."
Li Baijia, who was reaching out to touch something, immediately retracted her hand and followed the person in front of her honestly.
The old man came to the wall in front of him and pressed the ring on his hand against the wall. Suddenly, there was a slight vibration around him. Then the wall moved forward, revealing an entrance to the underground. It looked dark inside. It was so dark that nothing could be seen clearly.
The old man simply said: "Follow closely." When the old man took the first step towards the stairs inside, the entire passage actually lit up with masses of light as if by magic.
Except for Ye Ke, the other three people showed surprised expressions: "Wow!"
