Chapter 161: Fili and Chili
As soon as I entered the door, the air temperature seemed to rise slightly, a wave of heat rushed in, and the walls on both sides were full of sharp weapons, all kinds of them, and there was a sound of ping-pong iron in the back room.
A young dwarf with a beautiful orange beard greeted the guests when he saw them coming, and shouted in a rough voice peculiar to the dwarves: "Two human friends have arrived just in time, my name is Fili, are you buying weapons or repairing equipment?
"Hmm... I'll come in and see" Seeing such an enthusiastic dwarf, Ayton was suddenly a little embarrassed to mention the matter of borrowing a forge table, because this kind of thing hurts people's self-esteem too much.
"Just a casual look?" Fili was a little surprised that the two of them were just strolling around, but instead of being cold, he approached more enthusiastically.
Squeezed his eyes and said, "Friend, you're just looking at it casually, aren't you?" It's a pity that the best weapons here are only 'rare' level weapons right now, otherwise I would have taken you to the third floor to see the 'epic' level weapons."
"Are they all just 'rare'?" Ayton smiled strangely, he and Ariel were all 'epic' in their scabbards...
If you are an ordinary person, when you hear the word 'rare' weapon, you will never have such a flat expression, but will only cast envy or think that the other party is deliberately pretending to be a star
Chili didn't notice the strangeness in Ayton's tone, touched his orange beard and whispered, "Listen to me, although we don't have an 'epic' here, there is a treasure that is rarer than 'rare', do you want to take a look?"
Rarer than rare?Ayton showed an interested expression, "What?"
Filip showed a mysterious look and lowered his voice: "Haha, now you have found the right person, come with me"
After saying that, the dwarf motioned for Ayton to follow, and no one in the huge store noticed them, and the two looked at each other, and decided to follow and see the treasure in the dwarf's words...
followed him to a side room on the second floor, but unfortunately there were no swords and weapons in it, some were just scattered parts, and Ayton fixed his eyes to see that the parts were actually related to muskets.
Sure enough, Fili took out a swarthy musket from his arms, and his face was full of smugness: "Look, this is the crystallization of the wisdom of our dwarf clan, and it is also the first proud work of my Filip, I can tell you very clearly that in the entire Huangyao City, this musket is unique!"
"Brother, is this the musket you want?" Arielle pouted unceremoniously.
The musket is about the length of an adult's arm, and it is dark and has no superfluous patterns, which does not look beautiful.
But this sentence hit Filip's self-esteem seriously, and he jumped up angrily waving a short musket, and shouted: "Little girl, this is not a work of art, nothing beautiful or unsightly, this guy is no worse than the sword behind you!"
As if concerned about something, the dwarf's voice was very low, and Ayton stopped what Ariel was about to say and said with interest.
"Can you show me the musket? Actually, I'm very interested in your dwarven musket, and I've been studying it for a long time."
Hearing that the humans in front of him also liked muskets, the dwarf's previous displeasure was swept away, and he happily handed over the musket: "It's great, it's the first time I've seen a human actually study muskets, let's go have a drink later." ā
"There's no need to drink, I'll have something to do later," Ayton smiled and took the musket to take a closer look.
Ayton remembered that traditional dwarven muskets were arquebus, filled with gunpowder in the barrel and stuffed with iron projectiles, followed by a string inserted in the back, which was fired by igniting the string.
The range is short, the reloading speed is slow, the operation is very troublesome, and it is much more difficult to use than a bow and arrow, but unfortunately the dwarves are born with a short physique, and the slightly larger longbow cannot be opened, and they usually only hunt with muskets, and they can't get on the table.
But the musket in his hand has been upgraded to the sui firing type, which is much easier to operate by pulling the trigger, but there are still some flaws in the upper bullet, but I don't know how powerful it is.
"How's it going? Wasn't it immediately impressed by his unique appearance?" said Chili with a smile.
Ayton read it, but he never found anything strange about this musket, and I don't know how many times worse than the blueprint new musket given by Bahrain, at most, in the two-player battle, barely played a surprise effect.
"Uh... This is okay, it's quite novel, you made it yourself, right?"
Hearing this reluctant evaluation, Fili's originally excited expression instantly relaxed: "Are you sure you have studied our dwarves' muskets?"
"Of course, it must be that you are too wasteful to get into my brother's eyes."
Filip suddenly blew his beard and glared angrily, unable to speak.
"Wait, let's see how powerful this musket is, and then make an inference. Ayton said on the spot, in fact, he was quite interested in this first musket.
"Hmph, let's take a good look with your eyes open," Filet grimaced, turning to aim for a wine bottle.
With a thud, the bottle was shattered into glass slag by a projectile, not much different from the power of a traditional musket, but it was enough to make the dwarf look proud.
"How about it? Do you want to buy one? Suddenly pulled out a musket during the battle, and decided that he could catch the opponent off guard"
ā......ā
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, and Ariel looked sideways, her big disappointed eyes as if to say, "... That's it, not as much magic damage as I am..."
Ayton touched his chin and thought about it, although this musket was not as complex as the new musket on the drawings, it seemed like a good idea to buy it as a sample.
"Yes, Iā" Ayton was about to say yes when a rough voice came into his ears.
"Philip, you guy is really not doing your job, what are you doing here! Hurry downstairs and entertain the guests, if I find out that you are selling your broken musket, see that I will not fine you for three days' drinks."
Turning around, a dwarf with two orange braids burst into the door, and saw that Ayton's musket was even more angry.
Fili seemed to be a little afraid of the dwarf, and shrunk his neck, which was not long, and said, "My good brother, I just want to let my human friends see the crystallization of our dwarven wisdom. ā
"What wisdom is not wise, forging is the crystallization of the wisdom of our dwarves, don't take out your musket and be embarrassed, put it away for me" The dwarf with his braided chin glared at Filip and yelled, glancing at the two humans on the side, as if urging them to leave.
Unable to disobey his brother's orders, Fili walked out with his head down.
The pigtailed dwarf then looked at Ayton's head: "You two humans, did you come in to buy equipment?"
"We're not here to buy weapons, we're here to borrow something. Ayton placed the musket in his hand on a messy table, which seemed to be the secret place where Filip made the musket, and it was very chaotic, but the full set of forging equipment was still in place.
The dwarf looked puzzled: "Didn't you buy equipment, then what are you doing? Is it to pay attention to that musket?"
"We're here to borrow your forge table, and I want to build a weapon with my own hands."
"What ???"
Ayton finally said the purpose of the trip, but the dwarf in front of him seemed to think that his ears had heard it wrong, and it didn't matter if a human came to the 'Bronze Axe' without buying weapons, he actually wanted to build weapons by himself.
It's like going to a restaurant to eat because you think other people's food is not delicious and you have to cook it yourself, and you come to smash the field naked!
Ayton didn't speak again, and the dwarf with pigtails stared into his eyes for dozens of seconds before he spoke, his tone revealing a thick gloom: "Human, do you know what you just said..."
"Of course, I said I wanted to build a weapon by myself, but unfortunately I don't have a forge for the time being, and I need some forging materials and pay accordingly."
"Heh..."
The dwarf suddenly grinned, but his originally bold laughter carried a hint of coldness: "Of course, young human, only you can build a weapon that I approve of in the 'Copper Axe', you can use the forge table as you like, and the materials are free." ā
"But what if... If you make a piece of garbage, not only will I pay back ten times the cost of materials, but I will personally kick out the 'copper axe', and I will never be allowed to step into here!
"What did you just say," the dwarf's contemptuous tone made Ariel raise an eyebrow.
Ayton hurriedly pulled her and said calmly: "Yes, the forge table can be used here, but you just said that your name is Qili, could it be that you are the dwarf who created the 'epic' before?"
"That's right, I'm the head of the 'Bronze Axe,' Master Chili," the orange-braided dwarf looked proud, but there was still a coldness in his eyes as he looked at Ayton.
"Got it, now I'm going to start, you can watch from the sidelines, but don't bother me. Ayton glanced at him, he was much older than that Fili, and they should be called brothers, but the difference in status was a bit big.
"My brother's technique will definitely open your eyes, so let's learn it well"
Ariel retreated to a clean corner, and Killie watched Ayton's movements coldly, thinking about how to mock the two humans in the future.
After a while, Qi Li, the chief forging master of the 'Copper Axe', became solemn, and the human in front of him was actually carefully observing the unfamiliar forging platform, and his slender fingers seemed to have not touched the forging hammer for a while, and gently threw it upward.
The flames in the furnace turned into a raging fire, reflecting his calm face, and his movements were extremely skillful, as if he had already operated it countless times.
The materials needed were neatly placed within Ayton's reach, and he picked up a tin sheet and flipped it around in his hand, and the ingredient magazine was already in his hands.
Is there really something that you can do?
Chili put aside his joke at this time and carefully observed the black-haired boy's forging skills.
