As expected, weapons are the most difficult things to make no matter which world they are in.
Refers to cold weapons.
Although there are quite a few instruments in modern times to shorten the forging process, in other worlds where productivity is still relatively low, it is indeed quite difficult to find a good blacksmith.
Considering that this is a magical other world, I guess the blacksmiths in the other world would have some other extra skills...such as engraving runes, such as engraving runes——
"Maybe he could also be a materials scientist." Considering the master we met before, I suddenly became a little interested in this legendary blacksmith.
"But, since I am a legendary blacksmith, can I really get the armor and weapons I want?" I said with a little worry, "Normally, do such powerful people have any quirks?"
"Huh? No." Grace tilted her head and said, "Although I don't know which knight's plot you used, but this legendary blacksmith is a very kind person, and he is my father. Tsukuru must be a close friend, after all, the sword in my father’s hand is a legendary weapon made by him.”
I haven’t looked into this matter carefully...
"The specific time is-"
"Probably in three days." Grace put her index finger on her chin as if thinking, "But probably - there will be a lot of people in front of his door? Maybe I have to go early."
"He didn't refuse anyone?"
"Of course not. Although he is thanking guests behind closed doors, he will still arrange the time as long as he informs him carefully in advance." Grace smiled softly, "But, because his whereabouts are difficult to determine, so 'notify him in advance'" 'It is also a technical job. If there is no specific method or someone close to him informs it, it is equivalent to no reservation. This is probably a clever layering method."
Let those people naturally divide into several parts?
Thinking about it this way, this legendary blacksmith seems to be surprisingly shrewd. He has not only ensured his reputation, but also filtered his customer base to a certain extent.
Nolan Lusi folded his hands and said, "So you have extra contact information - tell me what your budget is."
Grace said coquettishly: "It would probably cost about 300,000 gold coins..."
"...It happens to be the reward for this mission."
Then the atmosphere in the whole room unexpectedly became stagnant.
Nolan Lusi took a gentle breath and said, "In this case, it's not impossible to lend you cash for emergency use."
"Or maybe this was originally considered an obligation. After all, because of us, your income has dropped."
I always felt that Nolan Lusi was in a rather unstable state of combination when he said these words.
Grace exclaimed in surprise: "Really! If possible, I will bite the bullet and take a few orders!"
"So the interest rate will be adjusted to 1% a week. After all, I'm not a devil." Nolan Lusi lightly touched her hair, tilted her head slightly and said in a carefree manner.
"What kind of black-hearted loan shark is this?"
In the end, no interest was charged.
After all, the remaining money is not so easy to earn. If you think about it, one-third of the current savings comes from Grace's tasks, so for the sake of long-term success, don't be so stingy yet.
Although three hundred thousand is indeed a considerable amount...
The boring time was spent doing nothing every day. During this period, Grace ran around diligently outside every day, probably contacting related tasks, and Kyle Russ was also quite energetic and shouted "Boss, we are here" every day. Let's eat bacon tonight!" In comparison, Nolan Lesi would express some reasonable concerns, such as whether the meat can be eaten.
Of course it is edible, and if you witness delicacies such as stinky tofu and preserved eggs, your entire worldview may be impacted!
In the morning after that, I would also habitually go for a morning jog outside and buy a newspaper to pay attention to situations that had been missed before - such as the current situation.
The most important thing is the demon clan. Although Nolan Lusi assured me that nothing will happen, I am still a little worried. After all, there are thirteen demon kings. If a few of them violate the agreement and suddenly launch a If we attack, then Nolan Lusi's position is still quite dangerous now.
But what I didn't expect was that the news I got after opening the newspaper was--
"Is this legendary blacksmith so high-profile?" I groped my chin and looked at the news in the newspaper.
The previous case tracking has gradually become less popular, and finally turned into a follow-up report with only half a page. It won't be long before these people basically forget about this matter, right? As for the current front page headline... "Legendary Blacksmith Foltos" has been printed directly on it, for fear that others will not know the same.
However, as a city that made its fortune with blacksmiths, this situation is understandable, and the newspaper reports just gave me a rough understanding of Fortos.
Skipping the previously unknown legendary journey and the content about several legendary weapons, I quickly read through his life and found that this blacksmith seemed to be a typical example of smooth sailing.
However, considering that there may be some exaggeration, I carefully screened it and tentatively confirmed the following facts.
First of all, his legend is not a real legend. His own strength is still at the ninth level. It is just because of the special nature of the "blacksmith" profession that he has the title of legend. As for him, he was just born in A little-known little place, but because he had a very good forging skill, he came to Wells to further improve his skills, and with the help of the Wells volcano, he also made his first blacksmith in this place. A legendary weapon - the Sighing Shield. As he became famous, he soon left Wells and turned to search for various materials within the human empire, deciding to create a peerless weapon. arms.
During this period, he also successively created other legendary weapons.
He actually traveled outside for more than ten years. Although he occasionally returned to Wales during this period, he had never thought about the ocean.
So when he came back, many people thought that he had set his sights on the sea.
"It feels like something big is going to happen tomorrow." He groped his chin and made a rather casual inference. I was even thinking, would he directly ask the Juggernaut for help when he saw Grace? After all, those who can get his legendary weapons probably owe a favor. Legendary weapons cannot be made simply by having money.
The night she saw the news in the newspaper, Grace already excitedly said that she had already made contact, and all she needed to do was find a time to go tomorrow. Of course, Nolan Lusi had to take out the gold coins from the box quite painfully, but in the end, he finally got enough together with the premium money.
In short, it’s better to avoid borrowing money. After all, Nolan Lusi’s interest rate was determined by me, otherwise Grace would probably be bound to us for the rest of her life.
Probably after Grace's exciting night, the next morning——
The number of cars, horses and pedestrians on the street increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The legendary blacksmith also has to go through the main entrance, so no matter who saw yesterday's report about this master who grew up in Wales and studied for so many years, they will inevitably be curious about the person described in the newspaper. At the city gate It doesn't seem strange that he wants to come and see his face.
"Tsk, there are too many people..." Grace glanced at the scene in front of her and said with some annoyance, "In that case, we might as well go to the mountain and wait."
"Up the mountain?"
"Since you are a legendary blacksmith, if you want to forge weapons, you have to come to the volcano. After all, earth fire is a rare magic resource." Grace said with a smile, "But laymen probably don't understand the power of nature. What attraction does the Everlasting Flame have to a blacksmith?"
Of course I don't know... After all, I have never heard of such a thing being forged with magma.
But maybe I misunderstood it.
"Natural fire—what is it?"
"To put it simply, it is actually a by-product of magic. In a place like a volcano, if the fire element is sufficient, such a flame will naturally be produced. If the concentration is higher, it can exceed the temperature of the blast furnace in most cases, and the quenching It will be easier to make steel, but the environment there-" Grace chuckled, "So blacksmithing is also a profession that tests endurance."
A phenomenon formed by the gathering of fire elements...
Oh, isn't this the same as the fact that the Demon King has too many dark elements in his body and forms a dark curtain effect when he releases it?
Got a new pose!
Ahem, ahem, anyway, under the guidance of Grace, we followed the familiar mountain road to the top of the volcano.
There are naturally few houses here.
One is because the fire element here is too strong. Even in winter, it is as hot as summer, and even hotter in summer. Therefore, few real warriors will live in this place all year round.
Well... I did meet a master who lived in this place before.
Mingyuan.
Compared to Foltos, Ming Yuan probably fits my image of a powerful blacksmith better, right?
After all, in a sense, it seems inevitable that powerful blacksmiths will have some quirks.
As a result, when we arrived at the originally empty mansion, Foltos was already waiting there.
"Huh? Uncle Fortus, are you back already?" Grace screamed immediately after being brought in. I followed her figure and looked at the people standing in the courtyard, but unexpectedly I saw a rather suave middle-aged man.
Not only is he wearing a loose robe similar to that of an ancient Eastern country, but his brown hair is only loosely tied to one side - does he look like a blacksmith? ! !
If I wasn't paying attention, I almost thought it was a pretty boy from somewhere running out, a middle-aged man who has been traveling for more than ten years!
However, it seems that this legendary blacksmith seems to be a bit unkempt. Although his hair is tied up, there are quite a lot of stubborn hairs on the top of his head. And if I read it correctly, there seems to be burns on the hair. Traces of scorch.
Therefore, I suspected that maybe what he was wearing was not a robe, but maybe he found a sheet and put it on because he found it troublesome.
"Ah, did little Grace arrive so early?" He was lying lazily on the chair, as if he didn't care at all that others saw his sloppy appearance.
But speaking of it, maybe the legendary blacksmith will have more female fans than male fans?
"What, Uncle Foltos, did you break away from the army last night and sneak into the city?" Grace looked helpless as she hugged him. Obviously, this was not the first time he had done this.
"I haven't seen you for many years, but the wall of Wells is still so easy to climb." Fortos laughed, "It's great that the feeling has not changed, but why is there so much noise in the volcano? Did something happen?"
Grace softly said "Ah", and then said: "Indeed, a lot of unpleasant things happened when you left. To put it simply - someone tried to summon the evil god in the volcano, and what else? Call me little Grace, I am now a gold-level adventurer who can stand alone!"
Of course, this is just one-sided rhetoric. Even the Supervisory Bureau may not be able to figure out the real situation. They can only make a conclusion based on the situation at the time.
"Really, it's surprising, but the volcano is indeed the place closest to the hell environment, and it has a natural advantage as a place to summon demons." Foltos groped his chin, and finally stood up gently, "It seems like things are getting a little troublesome. I wonder if the ground fire is still there."
"This incident shouldn't hinder the cohesion of the earth fire, right?" Grace tilted her head slightly and said.
Foltos smiled and shook his head: "That's not certain, but the main reason I came back this time is for forging."
"It's not for forging -"
"Actually, there are already speculations in the report, right?" Fortos rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment and said, "How should I put it... Actually, the information in it was revealed by me, and I want to find out Go to the fairy kingdom, or simply find some novel materials on the sea to see if there is any breakthrough."
The editorial in the newspaper, didn’t you expect it to be true?
