The Al Mine is one of the top ten mines in mainland China with the most abundant output, the most complete varieties and the best quality. But it is not owned by any one of the human nations, but by the dwarves. The lifespan of the dwarves is relatively long, but their total number is small, no more than 10,000 people in the entire continent, and they are distributed in tribes around the Arr mines. Chai Junde went to the smallest tribe of the dwarves, with only more than 140 people.

Before I could see the village, I heard the echo of tinkling iron from the mountains. The sound came from all directions, and if you followed the sound to find it, you might not be able to find the village. But if you look down at the road under your feet, you can discern a path that has been trampled on all year round.

Following the only way, Chai Junde soon saw a stream of white smoke rising into the sky from behind the tall dense forest.

It didn't take long for me to see a lot of creatures going back and forth on this road.

When I say creatures, I say that there are not only human beings, but also noble elves, fierce orcs, and tall giants.

Anyone who left the village was proudly holding a very handy weapon. Seeing these weapons, many people who were about to enter the village accelerated the pace of their feet.

Chai Junde has a raw material for crafting weapons, which is a high-grade holy stone. If a good blacksmith is allowed to build it, he will be able to build an ultimate weapon.

As soon as he entered the village, Chai Junde attracted the attention of most blacksmiths, making it suddenly quiet for a while.

It is rumored that the best technicians of the lover clan are here, so it is not unusual for anyone who comes here to ask for weapons, regardless of race. But all the dwarves were still staring intently at Chai Junde, or more precisely, at the holy stone in his hand.

Survival is the instinct of all creatures, and fame and fortune are the survival rules of advanced creatures, obviously dwarves belong to advanced creatures, their bodies are short, but it does not mean that their IQ is lower than others, their efforts are not as diligent as others, otherwise their skills will not be famous in the world. Because of this, it is not easy to become the best among the dwarves, so if you want to become famous, you need to create a world-famous weapon, which requires not only the best technology, but also a good opportunity, and now Chai Junde's arrival just gives them the opportunity.

The holy stone is not something that ordinary people can see, even races like the dwarves who are famous for building weapons, high-grade ores are seen every day, even the people in the ultimate spirit stone village are not surprised. But the holy stones are different, there are only more than a thousand holy stones that have been found in the entire continent, and most of them are below the high level, even if they think that they are the richest in the continent, there are only two hundred earth elves with the most gems.

Therefore, not long after Chai Junde entered the village, he was surrounded by everyone. All the craftsmen put down their work and boasted to Chai Junde, saying that they were the best weapon casters in the mainland, and hoped that they could hand over this stone to themselves to cast weapons, and they would not charge a single penny, they only needed to engrave their names on the weapons.

Chai Junde was not in a hurry, he held the holy stone in his left hand and carried a folding fan in his right hand to and from the street. He hadn't found the person he was looking for, and although these people boasted about how good their skills were, the Dijian in his right hand told him that these people were not talking about nine plus one.

This kind of behavior, although it is a bit of a show-off, but Chai Junde doesn't care about it. First, he was a little confident in his own strength, and secondly, he had heard the elves say that there was an unwritten rule in all the gathering places of dwarven craftsmen, that is, they were not allowed to fight to the death in it. No matter how much you want to get the ore in the hands of others, or what kind of magic weapon you have, you have to wait until you leave a certain range, otherwise you will be expelled by the dwarves at that time, which means that the dwarven craftsmen in the entire continent will not make weapons for you.

Finally, in a small alley, Chai Junde found a small weapons shop. The store is not big, and there is an old man lying on a rocking chair at the door to close his eyes and recuperate, Chai Junde quickly squeezed out of the crowd and greeted: "Hello old man." ”

I saw that the old man didn't even open his eyes, but said coldly, "What's the matter?"

Chai Junde said: "I want to ask you to help me build a sword. ”

At this time, there were more and more onlookers, not only the craftsmen who had stopped working, but also the guests who were curious because of their stoppage. At this moment, I only heard a craftsman say: "Little brother, you must have heard his reputation in the mainland, so you came to ask him to forge a sword, but it's a pity that you came late, if his son, daughter-in-law and grandson had not been lost in the first two years, we would definitely have no objection if you came to him, but now it's different, you better find another person." ”

When he said this, many people responded.

"I've never heard of his name before, probably because I live in the mountains. ”

"Then why do you want him to help you build a weapon?" asked a shorter giant in the crowd.

"That's because I believe in him. ”

When the craftsmen heard his words, they couldn't help laughing: "Do you believe in him, believe that he can help you create the best in the world? ”

In the face of everyone's teasing, the old blacksmith was indifferent, exhaled heavily in his snort, turned his head sideways and continued to sleep.

"What I believe is not that he can build the best weapons in the world, but that he chose to be a good weapon forger. ”

"What purpose. Chai Junde's words seemed to touch a certain point in the old blacksmith's heart, and even he couldn't help but sit up and ask.

Chai Junde said: "Your purpose as a foundry master should be to use your best technology to create the most suitable weapon for the customer. ”

Chai Junde's words really evoked a trace of memories in the old blacksmith's heart:

At that time, he was still unknown, but his skills had surpassed his father, the first foundry in the mainland.

Under the fame, it brings inflated vanity. For the later orders, he didn't spend much effort to build, but lived a life of drunken money. However, his technology is in front of him, and even so, the weapons he created are also rare boutiques in the mainland.

One day, a young man asked his father to build a sword. Since he was ranked as the number one caster in the continent, the people who came to the door did not ask his father to build weapons. And even if there were, it was because there was no money. Because his father charged very little for forging weapons, and he didn't care about fame and fortune.

But this time, the people who came were richly dressed, and the materials in their hands were of the highest quality. But the people who came didn't look for him, but came to his father, which made him feel a little humiliated by his pride. So before his father could say yes, he hurried up to the man and asked to forge the man's sword, proudly saying that his skills had surpassed that of his father.

The man smiled and said, "It is true that the weapon you have forged is very good, but this is only your skill, and it does not mean that you have built it with your heart." I've seen all the weapons you've forged, and they're going to go to two extremes, very good and very bad. The weapons you make for ordinary people are very poor, while the weapons you make for nobles are of very good quality. You should know that ordinary soldiers use more weapons, while nobles use fewer weapons. Yes, with your skills, you can build a good weapon even if you don't put much effort into it, but this kind of carelessness will make your skills stagnate. ”

The little foundry was still unconvinced, and responded, "What do you know, I can only become famous if I am recognized by the nobles." ”

"You want to be famous, right? Okay, I'll give you a chance, there is a divine stone here, enough for you to forge a super artifact, how long do you think it will take to build it?"

"Three months!" said the little foundry confidently.

"Okay, I'll get the artifact in three months. ”

The agreement has been made, and in the next time, he will desperately build the artifact in his mind, he will make it the best artifact in the world, and he will become famous. To do this, he used the best accessories, the best decorations, and even built the artifact in advance. Seeing his work, he was confident that no one would be able to build a weapon that surpassed his sword in a thousand years, if not ever.

The man held the hilt of the Excalibur in his hand and placed it horizontally in front of him, smiled and said, "Good, very good, I believe that no one will be able to surpass this sword in thousands of years." But I think you put all your mind to the scabbard made of the famous Mill stem, the hilt made of the keystone, and the moon gem that only the Moon Elves have. ”

The young blacksmith retorted: "Why am I working so hard for the sake of fame, is it just to solve the problem of food and clothing." ”

"Your mind is on fame and fortune, not in the utensils you have made, and the utensils without your heart are but dead things. I saw that his right hand gently clamped the sword body to an inch of the tip of the sword, and then he twisted his hand, only to hear the sound of "ping", the sword was broken down for a while, and then there was another sound, and another section was broken down. The blacksmith father and son were frightened and bloodless, this was an artifact, but he broke it into more than a dozen knots like a branch.

After he threw the hilt of his sword on the ground, he smiled and said to the little blacksmith: "Fame and fame are just a few simple actions, which do you think is easier to become famous or notorious?"

The young blacksmith was so frightened that he couldn't speak: "Of course it's notorious. ”

"Then do you know how many ways to become famous?" the man suddenly put away his smile and asked solemnly.

Being asked so seriously that the young blacksmith didn't dare to speak.

"There are two kinds. The first is to work hard to improve your reputation with your own strength, and the other is to stink others to improve your reputation, you are a righteous gentleman, of course you will not use the second method, but this does not mean that all people are the same as you, do you say that what I said is right? As long as someone has a heart to move the external brain scripture, there will always be a way to make your reputation stink, and with your mentality, you will really be able to withstand such a blow when the time comes?"

His words hit the nail on the head, and it is true that the reputation he has worked so hard to create is likely to be ruined by a sentence or two from others. Thinking of this, the young man suddenly knelt down: "Please sir teach me how to be good." ”

"If you want to cast a good weapon, you must first learn to cast your heart, and then you can build a weapon when your mind is firm. No matter what kind of customer you are dealing with, you should use your best technology to create your best weapon, regardless of other people's eyes, and be yourself. After saying that, the man disappeared......
