The average height of dwarves is 1.3 meters. "Hammer" Ursol is a tall dwarf, 1.45 meters tall, but shorter than Orfina.
The beards of dwarves grow slowly. They believe that beards represent strength and wisdom and are not easily trimmed. Therefore, the older the dwarves are, the longer their beards become.
Usol's white beard was braided into several strands like braids. The length almost reached the ground, but it didn't look messy at all. It looked like it had been carefully maintained and taken care of.
Ursol liked people to compliment his beard the most, and he immediately fell in love with this cute girl who was only a little taller than him: "Haha, where did this beautiful girl come from?" Ursol, who was addicted to blacksmithing, did not attend the canonization ceremony. Know the identity of Ofina.
"My name is Ophina, and I am the newly canonized saint."
"Oh, your status is quite high, haha. Emil, are they your friends?"
"Yes, Grandpa Ursol, they want to find you to upgrade their equipment."
"It's easy to talk about, then..."
"Grandpa, eat some fruit!" Ophina took out a copy of the imitation holy fruit that was left over from the morning and originally planned to use it as a snack.
"Sister, Grandpa Ursol doesn't like to eat fruit." Emil said.
Dwarves like to eat meat and drink wine, but not fruits.
Dwarves mostly live in mountains, which are dark and unsuitable for fruit growth, and the few fruits they have don't taste very good.
However, Ursol has stayed in the fertile land of the Holy Spirit Summoning Kingdom for such a long time, and his habits have changed. He can eat even if he doesn't take the initiative to eat.
Mainly because the girl who gave him the fruit looked pleasing to the eye, Ursol accepted the fruit and took a bite: "Who said I don't like to eat it? I...eh? This fruit tastes good."
"Brother made it, is it delicious?"
"Not bad, not bad." The more Ursol ate, the more delicious it became, but it was just delicious, not as amazing as others.
"Hey, grandpa, we want to upgrade some pieces of rare equipment. It would be best if you can help us upgrade to Fenglin level." After giving the things, Ophina took the opportunity to talk about business.
Although dwarves are very straight-thinking, after all, they are old and grew up among people. Ursol naturally understands Ofina's intention.
"Heavy Hammer" Ursol is a master-level blacksmith who can stably create Phoenix-level equipment, but it is expensive for him to upgrade the equipment.
Ursol is obsessed with forging and likes to study various high-end forging technologies. He often needs to purchase high-end materials and ores, which costs a lot of money.
Therefore, he usually charges a fee to build equipment for the Holy Cross family, and the fee is only 20% less than his private work for outsiders.
Emil told Rogge and others about this situation in advance. Ofina gave the old dwarf a piece of fruit as soon as she came up, hoping to get some discounts.
Not only did the little "bribery" not offend the old dwarf, but he actually found the little girl cuter.
Ursol decided to tease her: "If you want to upgrade rare-level equipment to Fenglin-level, you must first look at the quality of the equipment, and then whether there are suitable materials. I have no way to ensure that the upgrade can be successful. Also , It’s not cheap for me to take action. Although you are Emil’s friends, you can’t lose a penny.”
"Ah? Grandpa, why don't you be cheaper!" Ofina said coquettishly.
"No." Ursol was unmoved on the surface, but he was already 50% discounted in his heart.
"I saved Emil's life."
"Huh?" Ursol looked at Emil.
"Yes, I wouldn't be able to see you without my eldest sister." Emil told Ursol about the sneak attack on him in the secret garden.
Emil is a direct descendant of Ursol's savior, so Ursol is too embarrassed to ask for money from Ofina, Emil's savior.
"Then even if..."
"Grandpa, would you like a 50% discount?" Ophina said eagerly.
Ursol's clothes looked very shabby, not because they were made like this during forging, but really shabby.
The old dwarf, who was addicted to blacksmithing, invested all his income in research and had little money left. Moreover, due to his character, he refused to accept support from the Holy Cross family, so his clothes looked shabby.
How could the kind-hearted Ofina not give a penny? Let people earn some money.
"Haha, yes!" Ursol smiled and stroked his beard, "What equipment do you want to upgrade?"
Ophina took out her pure white dream, and in order to upgrade, she changed into an ordinary mage robe.
"Grandpa, please handle this carefully, don't break it."
Ursol's hands are rough and strong, with large palms and thick fingers. His exposed upper arm muscles are bulging and full of power, which is a typical dwarf style.
Ofina particularly liked the pure white dream, and couldn't help but worry that the old dwarf would damage it.
Ursol washed his hands first, then picked up the pure white dream and looked through it for inspection. His hands with thick fingers were very flexible, and his movements were quick and gentle.
For more than a minute, Wusol figured out the structure and characteristics of Pure White Dream, nodded and said: "It's a good piece of clothing. It does have the value of upgrading, but it is only the middle-level rare treasure level. It needs to be upgraded to Fenglin level." But it requires Fenglin-level precious materials, and I have to spend some time collecting them."
"Grandpa, is this okay? Xiaocai said it's okay." Ofina took out the Divine Phoenix Feather that Divine Phoenix gave her.
Ursol is not only a master-level blacksmith, but also an appraiser with a sharp eye. The feather in the girl's hand is bright and holy, exuding a faint halo. At first glance, it is definitely not comparable to the more common phoenix feathers.
"Is this... the feathers of a phoenix?" Ursol asked uncertainly. In all his years of living, he had never seen the feathers of a phoenix.
"Yes, grandpa, is this okay?" Ofina asked again.
Ursol still didn't answer her, but carefully took the feather of the divine phoenix and observed it carefully.
As if feeling the power contained in the Divine Phoenix Feather, Wusol was surprised and said: "This Phoenix Feather has been processed in advance, and the energy it carries is extremely soft. Originally, I was worried that your clothes would not be able to accept the Phoenix Feather. Yes, it’s completely fine now.”
"Yes, Xiaocai is the best to me!"
"Who is Xiaocai?"
"Grandpa Wusol, Xiaocai is the Divine Phoenix, and the eldest sister is the one she chose."
"Divine Phoenix...is this the Feather of the Divine Phoenix??" Ursol checked the feather again in shock, "No wonder it's so special! Little girl, this is a rare material for high-level Phoenix Lin. Are you sure you want it? Use it to upgrade this rare piece of clothing?"
"Sure, I like this dress!"
Equipment with the ability to transform is rare. A piece of pure white fantasy is equivalent to many pieces of clothing. It is so comfortable to wear that Ophina is reluctant to change.
Ursol seemed to feel it was a waste, and sighed softly, and said: "Well, this divine phoenix feather fits your clothes perfectly. There is no problem in rising to the Phoenix level. It seems that the divine phoenix is specially designed for You condensed this phoenix feather."
"Really? Great! Then...Grandpa, how much does it cost?"
"Don't worry, if there are more good materials, the quality can be further improved. Do you need it?"
"Can the ordinary Feng Yu be used?" Ophina didn't have any materials, but she had Phoenix Xuan Qing.
"Ordinary Feng Yu? What do you mean?" Wusol's mind didn't turn around.
Emil reminded in a low voice: "The eldest sister is a spiritual summoner and has a phoenix."
"Phoenix?! Oh yes, she is the one chosen by the Divine Phoenix... the little girl is quite powerful." Ursol praised.
"whee."
"Ordinary Phoenix Feathers are fine, but the quantity is larger. I'll buy the ones you can't use up!" Ursol said proudly with a wave of his hand.
"Grandpa, you just want to acquire it, right?" Ofina ruthlessly exposed his intentions. She had no choice but to do her best, as the old dwarf who was used to being direct.
"...Girl, sell me some!" Ursol stopped pretending.
"It depends on whether Xiao Qing is willing to do so. The feathers belong to him, and others are embarrassed to pull his hair." Ophina said and walked out the door. Xuan Qing's size cannot be summoned directly in the forging room. come out.
Hearing that Ofina needed Feng Yu to upgrade her clothes, Xuan Qing pecked off a lot of feathers and down without hesitation. Ofina cried out distressedly: "That's enough, that's enough, Xiao Qing, that's enough!"
Ursol, who followed him out to see the phoenix, couldn't hide his thoughts, and his wrinkled old face turned into a chrysanthemum when he smiled.
Ofina came to Ursol with a large pile of phoenix feathers and handed them to him, "Grandpa, are these enough?"
"That's enough, that's enough." Ursol quickly accepted it.
"Grandpa can't keep it for himself."
"Don't worry, I won't do that kind of thing."
The reputation of the master-level blacksmith is still very secure. Ofina was just joking and didn't think Ursol would keep it for herself.
Everyone went back to the forging room to discuss.
"I am confident that I can upgrade this dress to the mid-level Fenglin level. It costs 1,000 gold coins and is discounted by 500 gold coins." Ursol gave the price.
The old dwarf had a habit of not explaining too much when giving a quote.
"Okay." Ofina agreed.
Directly purchasing mid-level Fenglin-level equipment costs more than 6,000 gold coins. For the Pure White Fantasy upgrade, they provided all the materials, and Ursol charged a crafting fee. The price was very honest.
"Grandpa, we have other equipment to upgrade." Since Ursol is so reliable, all the equipment has been upgraded here.
Ofina took out the staff of Song of the Star, which was given to her by Filia, and she did not want to replace it.
"Grandpa, I also want to upgrade this staff, please take a look."
The structure of the staff is simpler than that of clothes. Ursol understood the song of the star after a few glances and said: "This staff is of high quality and easy to upgrade, but it still requires materials."
"We have the shimmering sacred stone and the branches of the sacred tree."
"What branch?!"
"The branches of the sacred tree."
"... Take it out and show it to me!" Ursol shouted.
"Oops." Ophina took out the shocked ear, "Brother, show it to grandpa quickly to see how anxious he is."
"That's a branch of a holy tree! It's something that has never appeared on the market before. Can I not be anxious?! Hurry!" The impatience in the bones of the kind old dwarf showed.
Dwarves cannot become spiritual summoners, so they naturally have no access to the Secret Garden of Spiritual Beasts. Ursol has never even seen the Holy Tree, let alone the branches of the Holy Tree.
"Well, the branches of the sacred tree are a bit big and can't fit here."
"Come to the warehouse with me and we'll talk there."
Ursol's warehouse stores some common materials, and the more precious ones are of course in his space ring.
Rogge took out the branches of the holy tree, and Ursol couldn't take his eyes off it anymore, studying the best wood in the world.
After letting Ursol study for a while, Ofina interrupted him: "Grandpa, you can study it after we leave."
Ursol came back to his senses, coughed twice, and said: "The staff has been upgraded to the intermediate level of Fenglin or above. It costs 800 gold coins, and you can get 400 gold coins in half."
"Okay. By the way, grandpa, I also have a new ring, look." Ophina showed off the spiritual ring, "I want to grow vegetables in it, please help me think of a way."
Ursol: "???"
