The Swordsman of Faerûn
Page 11
After some indescribable fantasies, the female archon with the queen's traits in her heart suddenly came to her senses. She quickly wiped away the saliva overflowing from the corners of her mouth, and looked around guiltily. Fortunately, no one noticed her gaffe.
Sunderland helped his forehead, coughed a few times to attract everyone's attention, and said, "Let's imagine the origin of this fake William! A high-ranking dragon from the lawful good camp pretends to be a human, and is going to Traveling in the Northland, I met the dead fool William, who was unfamiliar with the world for the first time, and got William's memory through some mysterious magic! The kind dragon decided to integrate into human society as William, and took care of the two poor children by the way. Son, so what happened next! Oh my god! If there is no temptation from my wise Sunderland Stagrim, I am afraid that the identity of Mr. Dragon will have been concealed forever! Hohoho !" Everyone looked at the self-absorbed nympho lady with the eyes of a fool.
Bishop Vestac Auri, who wanted to expand the glory of Tyre, also began to imagine a high-ranking dragon who converted to the belief of Tyre and bathed in the glory of Tyre!What an honor for the leader of this Dragon of Justice!The Lord God will surely send down boundless gifts!Oh ho ho ho ho -!
At this time, the little elf girl who heard the female archon's analysis couldn't sit still: "The kind dragon? Hee hee hee! That's great! The first female dragon knight in elf history! Yahohoho—! Giant Treasure of the dragon! Wahahaha——!" The daydreaming elf girl sneaked out alone while everyone was not paying attention.
At this time, the dwarves of Ax of Mirabar have gathered a guard of nearly a hundred people, and they are full of ambitions to go to fight against the "invading dragon". Agranta Hammer beside him asked, "Agranta! Are we really going to hunt down the damned dragon?"
The honest and honest Agranther Heavy Hammer sneered and said, "Hmph! Do you really think our dwarves' brains are made of stone? Crusade against giant dragons? Back then, a lowly dark dragon destroyed the secrets of nearly ten thousand people. Silver Hall. What we are facing now is a high-ranking dragon! With us alone? Do you think I am an idiot?"
"Then this is...?" Togg, the commander of Ax of Mirabar, was suddenly confused.
"Show it! Go around the city and let everyone have a look! Only the dwarves are the bravest and most loyal guards of Mirabar!" The dwarf leader who has gradually transformed into a qualified politician laughed.
Shelter Street is opposite to Windy Street. The latter is an inferior residence for unwelcome poor businessmen from other places, and the temporary residence of the affiliated villagers is also located there; the former is reserved for the richest and most distinguished guests. The prepared pin gold cave.The wrought iron inn is located in the middle of Shelter Street. The large dining table is in a mess. The four of Chen Jinyang are sitting on the bench cushioned with thick and soft animal skins. The little stomach hummed.
Chen Jinyang looked at the two distressed children dumbfounded and said, "You two little fellows! You are so useless! If you can't eat, don't eat so much! Look at Phinya! Phinya is just... Phinya! Alas! Fuck me!" Chen Jinyang covered his brows and couldn't continue!The giantess, who was wiping the vegetable dregs on the plate with the bread, raised her soup-smeared face when she heard this, and she didn't forget to stuff the bread soaked in vegetable soup into her mouth.
It's not that the food here is delicious, it's just that the four poor people haven't eaten decent salty food for more than half a month.
Chapter 14 I need a knife
"Creak—!" The carved wooden door of the room was gently pushed open a small crack, and the delicate little head was startled by the sound of the door opening, and then cautiously lay on the crack to peek in, but there was no movement!The person who came slowly opened the door and crept into the room, "Hey!" "Yeah!"
Chen Jinyang, who had noticed someone coming in a long time ago, deliberately hid behind the door. When the person walked into the room, the evil spirit jumped out and roared loudly. After closing it, she fell softly on the ground, and there was no movement for a long time. She slightly opened one left eye for a sneak peek, then quickly closed it, and both eyes closed even tighter, "Hahaha——!" "Hehehe ——!" The moon elf girl opened her trembling eyes, her beautiful water-green eyeballs swayed around, and she saw Alos and Misha'er covering their stomachs on the floor and falling down laughing, Finia lying on the table Shang was so happy from ear to ear.
Ai Erfu, who was seen as a joke, immediately jumped up with her little eyebrows, only to find that Chen Jinyang was looking at her with arms folded and smiling, like a little wild cat, the elf shrank immediately, and she asked tremblingly. Said: "William? You... You... Are you a giant... dragon?" "Ah? What?" "A... giant dragon!" "I'm not!" Chen Jinyang was a little puzzled by the abnormal behavior and problems.
"Liar!" Elf twitched her lips and let out two inaudible syllables. She turned her face and asked pitifully in a soft voice: "Mr. William! You will eat poor little El Is it Fu?" Chen Jinyang became very playful about the elf girl's almost funny question, and he spread his hands as if rushing for food and threatened: "I will eat you!" Elf, who was already a little nervous, let out a "ah" Frightened, he took a few steps back, and the three guys watching the show laughed even harder, and Chen Jinyang laughed too.
Responding to being tricked, Elf danced her small fists and said angrily: "Damn it! You lied to me again! Unforgivable! Even if you are a dragon, you have to pay the price!" The elf girl with eyes rolling around Chen Jinyang left and right , Look right, touch here, drag there (see the action of Yingmu Huadao in "Slam Dunk"); Chen Jinyang, who was baffled by Elf's actions, asked: "Little girl! What are you doing?" ?” The elf, who was immersed in her own thoughts, replied subconsciously: “I’m looking for the treasure of the dragon! Ah! I slipped my tongue!” Somewhat panicked, Elf stepped back quickly, but found that Chen Jinyang had no response, she The little head crookedly said: Haha!It turns out that the treasure is not with you!No wonder there was no response!The dragon is really slow!
Elf scanned the entire room, but Finia and Alos didn't respond. Misha, who was fighting with the elf girl all the way, was extremely sensitive to her treacherous gaze. She shrank her head and quickly covered it with her hands. Dwell in the Corner of Cole.The elf girl shook her head with a look of sudden realization: Oh——!I'll just say it!How can a little one have such a strange thing!Ho ho ho!Dragons are really cunning and big!I have long felt that the helmet is not right!Elf is indeed the cutest and smartest moon elf!Hahaha!
An elf with two green eyes, a hungry tiger pounced on Mi Sha'er, and shouted at the same time: "Damn little one! Hand over the baby and spare you!" Xiaomi, who had already formed a conditioned reflex to the elf's movements, Sha'er quickly dodged, and the two of them were chasing and hiding in the room, and suddenly they jumped into a mess.
Although the elf girl Elf is tall and strong (compared to the little girl) and has quick movements, Mishaer, who has been trained by Chen Jinyang for several months, is not a vegetarian. The two little girls were writhing on the floor with disheveled hair. After all, it was the elf girl who had the upper hand in power. She grabbed Cole's horn with excitement on her face, stretched her arms and raised them high, holding the elf's legs Seeing that she was invincible, the little girl hurriedly called the base to ask for reinforcements: "Sister Finia! Come and help me!"
Two to one, Elf Elf regrettably lost.Chen Jinyang and Alos have long been accustomed to the repertoire between the three boyish guys that was often staged along the way. The two brothers sat next to each other with a look of great interest in watching the show, and they almost had to serve tea and eat melon seeds.
Sunderland was dumbfounded by the daring of the elf girl and the indifference of "Mr. Dragon", and felt that he had a greater grasp of the idea in his heart.Alos and Misha, who had returned from victory, looked at the old Seru behind Sunderland in surprise, and shouted: "Mr. Seru! Mr. Seru! I am so glad to see you!"
The old Seru, who had been terrified at first, forgot his fear when he saw the two little guys. He also looked at the two children in surprise, and said happily: "Little Alos! Haha! Misha! Let Let me take a look at my cute little girl! She is so much more beautiful!" For the little girl who thought that her body would not be able to survive this winter, but she was standing here alive and healthy, the old Sailu can be said to be overjoyed, and has been holding the three William brothers and sisters together. Treating him as his nephew, he bowed gratefully to Chen Jinyang, who can make a dying child healthy and strong, not a mysterious and powerful dragon!At this time, the old Seru also fully approved the conjecture of the female consul.
Chen Jinyang was taken aback by this move of old Sailu, he could only pretend to be dumbfounded and smirk.Alos and the little girl excitedly pulled Seru to present a treasure and told the interesting stories of this winter, while Ms. Sunderland looked at the silent Chen Jinyang mysteriously: Hey!It seems that this giant dragon doesn't know that his identity has been exposed!Ho ho ho!Just pretend!Mr. Dragon!Since you don't want people to know your identity, ho ho ho!See how my beautiful Sunderland Stagrim tames you!no!Tomorrow, everyone who knows must be shut up, and it is forbidden to talk about the identity of Mr. Dragon in the future!
As for Elf the Elf, it is surrounding Phinya who is waiting for an opportunity to snatch the Horn of Cole temporarily kept by the giantess!
Sunderland flicked her hair gracefully, and said with a hint of coquettishness: "Mr. William! Where are you from?"
"Don't you already know? I'm from Nome Village!" Chen Jinyang frowned and felt that this beautiful woman seemed to have malicious intentions.
"Ho ho ho! Do you have any plans in the future?"
"Plan?" Chen Jinyang was taken aback, yes!How should I live in this world from now on?How to go on the road of martial arts!He said to himself: "At least the two little guys must be taken care of until they can be independent! Reading? Literacy? Should I learn a craft of eating?"
Looking at Chen Jinyang who was frowning and thinking, the "unruly" female consul said in a pitiful tone: "Yes! This world is very dangerous! Monsters run rampant in the wild, demons dance wildly, and ordinary villages are often murdered. The army of orcs and monsters attacked and harassed, and village destruction is commonplace! Especially with two helpless children, it is even more dangerous! Only a town protected by a strong city wall can protect the safety of these children! We Every winter, Mirabar recruits people from nearby villages into the city to protect them! Prevent them from being harassed by hungry monsters!"
Chen Jinyang was very unaccustomed to the sudden change of attitude of this "strong woman". He felt more and more that this woman was conspiring (sensitivity was indeed acute). Chen Jinyang said angrily, "What does this have to do with me?"
"Ugh!" Sunderland's expression turned pale, yes!How could the proud dragon be afraid of these things!She sneered and said, "Don't Mr. William have any needs?"
"I need a knife!"
"A knife? We..."
Chen Jinyang said coldly: "The knife I want is specially made! Others can't forge it at all."
Magic weapon?Legendary weapon?Artifact?At this moment, Sunderland, who was a little dizzy, was full of these thoughts.keep him!Be sure to keep him!God!Produced by Julong, it must be a treasure!Even at the expense of this girl's appearance, he must be kept!I just don't know how the dragon's aesthetics are!
The female consul who was blushing excitedly said repeatedly: "Mr. William! Our Mirabar is the largest metal mining place in the Northland! We have the best metals and materials here! We can definitely meet your requirements."
On the way, I asked the mercenaries in the same company, and Chen Jinyang was also very concerned about Mirabar, a mining and trading center. In this world where metals are scarce, if you want to have enough materials to make a good weapon, Mirabar is indeed A best choice.He said a little bit expectantly: "I still need to learn the forging technology here!"
In this world, metal forging is a very precious technology, just like the unique martial arts of martial arts masters, no one is willing to disclose it.
Sunderland, who was dazzled by delusions, said in a big way: "No problem! We have dwarven blacksmiths with superb craftsmanship! We also have knowledgeable metallurgists and alchemists. You can learn whichever you want. !"
"This..." Chen Jinyang hesitated in the face of the female consul's frenzied promotion.
"As long as you stay in Mirabar, we will provide you with an apartment for free!" Ms. Stagrim looked at the others who were frightened by her words and continued to seduce, "And these two children can follow I or other scholars learn to read and write."
Having said all this, what else can Chen Jinyang say, with a stiff smile on his originally dignified face, he said: "Ah! Thank you so much, Ms. Consul! But there is no need for Alos, later In a few days, he will go to learn magic with the friends of the Harbell family. You only need to teach Misha’er alone.” At this moment, Chen Jinyang shouted in his heart: Sun her!Could it be that Lao Tzu's charm is so great?This little girl has taken a fancy to me?
Seeing that Chen Jinyang agreed, Sunderland laughed like a little fox who stole eighteen pullets, hahaha!I really am the smartest Sunderland!The kidnapping plan was successful!
Chapter 15 Undercurrents in the Shadows
It is definitely an extraordinary honor and symbol to have a high-ranking dragon of the good alignment settle in the city, which represents the recognition and attention of the entire main material plane for the city.For example, the Ms. Amandro Nirazzo who lives in the City of Skillful Hands, and the most famous city of glory in the Northland is home to at least three high-ranking dragons. Only the rich pearl can be protected from the blatant invasion of evil beings from all planes, but can only subvert and seize power secretly by means of conspiracy and tricks to support agents.
And these unspoken rules are only known to some powerhouses and a few high-level officials of the city-states. Therefore, the hostile lords on the main material plane will only dare to launch real siege wars against these protected famous cities if they find enough high-level power to match.Lady Sunderland Stagrim happens to be one of the only elite in Mirabar who has heard of these rules.
The next day, the dark elf Drizzt Do'Urden took the recovered Dwarf King Bruno and his party to bid farewell to Mirabar City and continued on the journey home of the dwarves. Before leaving, Drow made a special trip to find Chen Jinyang to say goodbye His affection for this gentle elf man increased greatly, and he promised that if Zall needs Chen Jinyang's help in the future, he can come to Mirabar to find him, except this time, Chen Jinyang still has family members who need to be resettled.
The thrilling mercenary life and the precarious years of fleeing in the previous life left a deep imprint on Chen Jinyang's soul.After nearly half a year of adaptation and recuperation, he has begun to look forward to the life of an adventurer described by the mercenaries in this world, especially when the future of the two little guys has been roughly arranged.Chen Jinyang watched with disappointment as he rode on a fast horse and gradually went away to the Mithril Four Heroes. The mutual trust between the four made him greatly envious. Chen Jinyang believed in power, but he was not superstitious. A strong and well-coordinated team is extremely terrifying .
When he saw the giantess standing quietly behind him, Chen Jinyang couldn't help showing a happy smile. At least now I have a trustworthy companion, although her strength is not so satisfactory.Standing silently for a long time, Chen Jinyang turned around and prepared to return to the new residence: "We are going back! Phinya!" Hearing this, Phinya followed the man closely with a giant ax on her back. This giant girl would never stay away from her at any time. own weapon.
The work of escorting the convoy has come to an end for the time being, and the Mithril Four Heroes have also left. Apart from waiting for the Huber family to complete the rest of the transaction, Chen Jinyang basically has nothing to do. He has been studying general at Ms. Sunderland for the past two days. There are three more observers beside the two little guys in Chinese. "Knowledge is power", this famous saying that was almost smashed in the previous life is indeed reasonable. Except for Misha'er who is a regular learner, Alos and Finia were dragged by Chen Jinyang. One is the moon elf girl Elf Xingye who still does not give up on the so-called "treasure of the dragon". Became the little girl's "mortal enemy" by her side.
Although there are many and unpredictable languages in the world of Faerûn, there are six kinds of written characters here. They are Common Language, Elvish Language, Dwarven Language (Giant Language), Dragon Language, Celestial Language and Purgatory Language.Take the most widely spread lingua franca as an example. If the lingua franca is compared to Chinese characters, then the spoken language of the lingua franca is equivalent to Mandarin Chinese, while the languages of Aglalend, Aizedo, and Jondas are all different. The regional language is similar to the Sichuan dialect, Hokkien dialect, Northeast dialect and other local dialects in Chinese.Therefore, adventurers who travel around often encounter some helpless situations. A farmer in a remote area can understand his lingua franca, but he can't figure out that the farmer's local language is Monk Zhang Er.
This kind of characters similar to alphanumeric codes makes people scratch their heads. Chen Jinyang and others learned it very hard. After a few days, he couldn't help but ask: "Your Excellency, this so-called general character ...?"
The female consul, who was frowning and teaching hard, lightly stroked the hair hanging on her forehead, showed a charming face and said with a charming smile: "Mr. William is too polite! Just call me Little Sunderland! Hee hee——" Chen Jinyang was a little embarrassed by the female consul's almost molesting and seductive actions, he looked back at Finia who was fidgeting and scratching her head while learning the words, and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, she is really a simple little girl.
Chen Jinyang absent-mindedly continued the question just now: "Miss Sunderland! This kind of writing is so complicated to learn. Is there any special method to speed up the learning efficiency?"
The beautiful female "teacher" said with a smile: "Of course - yes! Hehe!"
Chen Jinyang and other "stupid students" were overjoyed when they heard the words, and asked in unison: "What's the special method?" Suddenly there was an extremely arrogant laugh behind them, and they turned their heads to see the elf girl who was very proud. , all gave her the back of the head with disdain.
Sunderland also smirked a little triumphantly and said, "The special method is to learn Elvish language first!" The laughter behind him became even more arrogant, I'll fuck it!No wonder the little elf girl is so proud, but what does learning common language have to do with elf language.
Fortunately, Sunderland answered the questions in the hearts of several people in time: "The characters of the common language are changed and extended from the elven characters (the relationship between the common characters and the elven characters is a bit like the relationship between simplified characters and traditional characters in Chinese. Of course, the former The difference between them is much more complicated), and only with the help of the grammar of elven script can one read common script; compared with common script, most people are more accustomed to using elven script to write notes. Only the officials of our human countries and cities tend to Use common characters, but this cannot conceal the convenience of using elven characters! Only specially trained clerks can read and write accurately and fluently using common characters. There are even 'language proficiency', 'transcription skills', and 'tongue skills' Mysterious magic can allow an illiterate farmer to read and write all kinds of advanced books fluently. Mr. William should know more about these magic knowledge than me!"
Damn it!How could I know these crazy things!Chen Jinyang said angrily, "According to what you said, we only need to learn elf characters! But what kind of nonsense have you taught these days? Are you playing tricks on us?"
The female consul, who was questioned and accused, defended in a low voice: "You said that you want me to teach human language and writing! Who can I blame?" Of course, the shrewd Ms. Stagrim also admitted in her heart that out of respect for Chen Jinyang's entry into the city, There are also some small revenge thoughts in the intimidating behavior, but only a little bit (the woman draws a small gap with her slender fingers).
"From now on, you only need to teach elf characters! But in the future, if there is any common sense that I don't know, I hope the beautiful Miss Sunderland will remind you in time!" Chen Jinyang, who felt that he lacked common sense, seemed to be wrong to blame the female ruler. Officer, quickly put on an apologetic expression.
Sunderland pretended to be nonchalant and said: "If you want to teach reading and writing in Elvish, then Mr. William has hired the wrong person!" Wrong person?Following the playful eyes of the female consul, several people looked at the elf girl who was smiling extremely arrogantly with embarrassment. "Wa hahaha--!"
At this time, in a corner of the Northland, a mysterious conversation is going on:
"Have you found them?" An elegant and deep female voice.
"It's been found! They had a misunderstanding with our family's food convoy, and they were delayed in Mirabar for a few days!" This is an old man.
"Misunderstanding? Why did they go to Mirabar?" the woman asked with some concern.
"Don't worry! The 'Yaoshi' council didn't realize their threat for a while! But this time the dwarf king was seriously injured by a strange little guy."
"Strange guy?" The woman wondered, recalling which famous young strong men in the Northland could knock down the dwarf king.
"Hmm! The boy who was originally a fool suddenly became a powerful warrior, even able to kill a fish-eating crocodile and a dog demon with his bare hands." The old man showed off without any hesitation.
"The dog demon? You mean the dog demon?" The woman's voice instantly became high-pitched.
"No! Oh! By the gods! Send down a thunderbolt to kill this shrewd woman! I'm talking about trolls! Not dog demons!" The man hastily denied it.
"You're talking about a dog devil!"
"It's not a dog devil! It's a troll!"
"Okay! Let's stop this meaningless argument! How is your contact?" The woman gave up the argument and changed the subject.
"I have already contacted Nesmai and Yata, but both of them refused. Noisy Water City has also sent people to contact, and it is estimated that there is not much hope. After all, no one has mentioned the Mithral Hall for many years, and it is rarely returned. Someone remembers it." The elderly man's tone was a little frustrated.
"But this is the only way to break the monopoly of Mirabar, and the forces from the dark forces have already begun to infiltrate the mining center of the Northland. We must speed up the implementation of the plan!" The woman said extremely firmly.
"I know! Dear lady! But Shimmer is too powerful for ordinary people, are you going to deal with that dragon of darkness yourself?"
"No! I can't convince the rest of the Alliance to allow me to leave the city alone! This time I'm going to seek help from afar - one of my sisters will come to help as soon as possible!"
"That's great! But can the dark elves find their way to Mithral Hall?"
"Don't worry! I have already asked the old dragon who lives in Hermit Fort, and he has promised to give appropriate guidance at that time. After all, the evil neighbor Lao Ye, the shadow dragon, is also very displeased! Oh! That's right! That strange one How did you deal with the dog demon killed by the little guy?" The woman who was talking turned her head and asked inadvertently.
"The dog devil has been taken by us... Oh! Damn it! You tricked me? Sly woman! Shameless liar! No dog devil! No weird little guy! Nothing! Damn it!" The old man who found out again Completely out of anger.
No.16 Chapter Blacksmith Apprentice
Through several days of contact, William, who can be called "old and cunning", learned from the elf girl that Sunderland and others misunderstood him through side-stepping.A high-ranking dragon walking in the mundane world?This is a bit of a joke, but I have no obligation to explain this wonderful misunderstanding.
However, William did not deliberately pretend or cover up this misunderstanding. Coupled with several days of probing, the female consul seemed to have doubts about his identity.Chen Jinyang obviously felt that Sunderland's attitude towards him had become a little cold these two days, and on the pretext that it would be more appropriate for the elf to teach Elven language, he overturned his previous agreement to teach Misha, which made him angry And speechless and hard to refute.
In the past 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, the moon elf girl Elf, who has always been in a weak position in front of William, suddenly felt like "turning over and singing as a serf", and her airs began to shake. "Please! Please! Hohohoho—!" The elf girl with her little tail almost up to the sky proudly circled Misha'er, staring at the little girl's red hair with a pair of bright eyes. Cole's Horn shines on.
"I don't want it! Mi Sha'er won't beg you!" The little girl with her hands on her head pursed her lips and showed no sign of weakness.
"Come and beg me! As long as you are willing to give me this helmet! I will teach you Elven language! Hehehe!"
"No! I don't want to learn Elvish from you! Damn long ears! Don't think of my baby! The 'Crown of Victory and Glory' (renamed again!?) will never fall on green eyes In the hands of the elves!" The little girl was not tempted by the elves at all, and she put on the posture of the protagonist in the knight's story who would never give in to the evil forces.
"Annoyed little one! Who do you say has long ears and green eyes? Can you give me a helmet?" The little elf who was a little bit annoyed began to prepare for a violent snatch.
"I won't give it to you!" The little girl who was determined to defend her "treasure" to the death quickly dodged away, and the daily routine battle for the corner of Cole started again.
William shook his head and walked out of the house helplessly. In view of the hostility of the two little guys, it seems that the previous plan to learn the mainstream culture of this world has been temporarily aborted.But now there is still a more urgent problem to be solved, and that is the problem of food. At the beginning, because of concerns, he resolutely rejected the super huge sum of tens of thousands of gold coins from the Huber family. Now William can be said to be penniless, especially It's just that the female consul didn't come to take advantage of the big head to take care of the idle food these two days. The family plus an elf idler can only rely on the food kept in the space bag to survive.
William and Alos found the old Seru who they knew best in Mirabar, and asked him to help sell all the accumulated skins except the winter wolf skins. There were dozens of animal skins, big and small, and the total price was only six or seven gold coins. , but the two bottles of strong acid and one bottle of hot glue that were once evaluated as worthless by El Lago were sold for more than 20 gold coins, which really surprised someone.
Someone wants to ask what is the value of twenty gold coins?Let us put it this way, the price of a chicken is equal to two pounds of wheat, and the same as a pound of hard bread, requires two copper coins.And one gold coin is equal to ten silver coins and one thousand copper coins, which means that twenty gold coins can buy ten thousand chickens, or twenty thousand pounds of wheat, or ten thousand pounds of hard bread, which is extremely important to farmers A cow is only three or five gold coins.From this we can see the huge value of El Lago's huge sum of money at the beginning, and at the same time, we can also see the potential strength of the Harbell family that is not inferior to ordinary small kingdoms.
Of course, the three-level currency system of gold, silver, and copper here is only suitable for implementation in a few alliance forces in the Northland, and many towns or states that are not within the scope of the alliance do not recognize it.
Sitting in the lobby of the wrought iron inn, drinking thick soup, William felt a heart-wrenching feeling when he thought of the huge sum of money he rejected at the beginning. Why was he so impulsive at the beginning, even if he left a small change!At least you don't have to worry about filling your stomach like you do now.Look at the four guys who are following along!oh!Add an old Seru who came to eat, and see how greedy these gluttons eat, this is the best golden baked bread, a silver coin can only buy two pounds.He really couldn't bear his heart, and let a few little guys eat cheap black bread that was hard and rough, comparable to a stone, mixed with a lot of wheat bran and sawdust, which was hard to swallow.
The "housewife" who wants to cry but has no tears can only turn his grief into appetite, and transform into a "gluttonous monster" crazier than everyone else, devouring the meals on the table more vigorously.
What is more painful than supporting a big belly man is that there are two big stomach kings to support. In order to avoid sitting on the mountain, William had to find a way to earn money to support his family.As a mining center, Mirabar has three types: merchants, miners, and blacksmiths. Based on the advice of old Seru and his own considerations, William decided to find a job as a blacksmith first, and then make plans.
Mirabar is a famous city of blacksmiths, but what is strange is that many of the blacksmith shops that should have been busy are now mostly in a state of silence.
William followed the old Seru into a slightly noisy shop. The shop had no name, but a pair of craftsman's hammers hung outside. A stout one-eyed dwarf with a black-gray beard coiled behind his back was holding a hammer, sweating profusely. Busy on the workbench, he ignored the entry of the two humans, and continued to beat the red metal block on the anvil monotonously.
The temperature inside the blacksmith's shop was much hotter than outside because of the high temperature of the fire. Old Seru approached the dwarf and shouted: "Master Singers! Are you okay?"
With his only grey-brown left eye, the one-eyed dwarf with a fierce face glanced at William who was standing behind, and said casually with a buzzing voice: "Oh! It's little Seru! Do you need anything? If it's okay, Don't bother me!"
Old Seru looked back at William with some embarrassment, pointed at him and said to Singers: "Master! This is a good boy in my village! William! He hopes to find an apprenticeship with you."
"Apprentice? Hahaha!" Singers glared at the only remaining one eye, and said with a sarcasm, "There are human beings willing to come to me, a blind dwarf, as an apprentice? Could it be that the dwarf has started to grow a beard?" The one-eyed dwarf put down With the work in hand, he jumped onto the stage, trying to occupy a superior position to look down on the coming people, but William's tall figure still made the dwarf's movements useless, and the young human was still half a head taller than the dwarf standing on the workbench.
This dwarf with an extremely fierce appearance and an extremely stocky body can vaguely see his bad attitude towards life from his weather-beaten and rough face.Singers McCluf lost an eye, but made no attempt to fill the empty socket, but merely covered it with an eyepatch; half his beard was gone, replaced by a With a large scar, one can tell at a glance that he has suffered extremely serious trauma before.
"Ha ha! Beardless little guy! You should go to those bombastic metallurgists and alchemists! Instead of coming to me as an apprentice in my rock-hard dwarven smithy. Ignorant humans! Go to your experts! Here You are not welcome!" The one-eyed dwarf refused harshly, looking up and staring at William made him very uncomfortable.
Although I don't know why this dwarf is hostile to humans, it doesn't prevent William from flattering: "Everyone here says that the one-eyed dwarf Singers is the best blacksmith in Mirabar! Of course I want to find the best dwarf. Be an apprentice!"
At this time, no one noticed that the old Seru who had led the way had slipped away quietly.
One-eyed Singers was very useful to William's flattery, but he still blew his beard and stared and said: "Slippery little guy! A nice word is as useless as a dwarf's beard! Humph——The metal's solidity and softness are so fused that no one can use it!" So far? It's just absurd talk! If the magic that strengthens metal is not a secret guarded by Dumathoin, then they absolutely cannot exist! Not a single bearded dwarf among them dares to claim to be more powerful than a dwarf. Understand metal! There is no funnier joke in the world!" For the dwarf's chattering and complaining vent, William could only respond with a wry smile, half understanding.
"Lord Marquis actually believes the nonsense of those fake experts! He would rather pursue a non-existent alchemy formula than increase the scale of production by increasing manpower to mine new veins! Lost beast kicked his head! The Council of 'Yaoshi' also Listen to these silly deceptions! The useless Agranther! Bah! This guy who has abandoned the tradition of the dwarves and Dumathoin! It seems that more than 100 years of leisure have completely forgotten the teachings of Dumathoin!"
William, who had been enduring the bombardment of the dwarven language, had to interrupt his complaints and asked loudly, "Master Singers! May I be an apprentice here?"
The eyes of the one-eyed dwarf who was indulging in complaints flashed brightly, and he said with some unfinished thoughts: "Damn it! Oh! Since you were introduced by the little Seru! Let's work here for a while! Go! Get the iron out first. Move to the next room! Idiot Erastus! What a bunch of fools! They are being played around! Even the dumbest dwarves are smarter than them!"
William picked up the wrought iron box next to the iron felt. The box was very heavy, but William could still resist it. He jumped off the platform, and the one-eyed dwarf with his mouth wide open went down the stairs on the other side and walked into the room floor. One floor below, there was another blacksmith's workshop, but no one was working in it.
"He is a good guy with a lot of strength! From tomorrow onwards, you will follow me to dig ore below, remember to bring your lighting tools! I don't want you to get lost in the dark mine on the first day!" After putting down the box , Singers told William who was about to leave.
Walking out of the one-eyed dwarf's blacksmith's shop, Old Seru was waiting for William to come out not far away. He said to William a little embarrassedly: "Although Old Singers has a weird temper, he is really good at blacksmithing! William! Although I don't know Why have you changed so much, but please take care of Alos and Misha! I will be returning to the village tomorrow!"
William bowed in gratitude and said, "Thank you, Mr. Seru, for taking care of our brothers and sisters in the past! If there is anything William can use in the future, just ask!"
Originally, it was quite inappropriate for a young man to say this, but William said it very forcefully, because he was really grateful for the kindness Seru had shown to their brothers and sisters in the past.
