Chapter 17: Wooing and Trade-offs

Place the enchanted material on the surface of the weapon, control the Fighting Qi to wrap it firmly, and then run the Fighting Qi to knock and shatter the material until the material and the weapon merge together. If it weren't for the system saying it himself, Luo Ning wouldn't believe that this kind of step, which sounds like "I think I can do it", is the standard process of equipping enchantments. He was very curious now, what if the materials to be added were something that could not be broken by vindictiveness, such as the big teeth of the gods, then what should he do? The Ten Thousand Worlds Skill Tree System did not give an explanation, and he could only put on an attitude of "I think the system is right" and practiced.

Just when there was still a small half of the fire-breathing turtle crystal nucleus left, the gold of the Dragon Head Guild came. Ronin originally thought that this union was a villain in a nest with Earl Hawke. But Master Hank told him that the other party must not know about Earl Hawke's tricks. If you don't know how to receive the goods, you will take the initiative to give gifts to make amends. Now it seems that Master Hank is the person who followed the queen, and his judgment on this matter is indeed accurate.

Let's say that Luo Ning heard Hank introduce himself to Jinli, and with a few hammers, he smashed the crystal nucleus into the body of the sword, raised his head and asked innocently: "This gentleman, you guessed right, I am enchanting, is there anything wrong?"

He looked at Master Hank, only to see that the other party had his mouth open, staring at the red-glowing sword embryo with a ghostly expression, his eyes intertwined with excitement and loss, just as he had been on the day he found out that he had a chance to enchant the equipment.

"Oh, it's my bad. Luo Ning patted his head, "Master Hank, I forgot to tell you, last night I suddenly understood the mystery of enchanting equipment! This comprehension is also a matter of course, who let the two of us fight so hard before, and the rare-level equipment that has been in the liver for seven days in a row? Huh? Master Hank, why do you have a strange expression on your face? Is there something wrong with my operation?"

Master Hank no longer knew if he should keep a sad face or keep an embarrassed but polite smile.

Although he had seen Luo Ning's genius in forging weapons a long time ago, he still didn't understand what kind of fairy logic Luo Ning's confident tone of "I have worked hard, and I can naturally make a lot of money plus an ox cart"! He had lived for forty or fifty years, and this was the first time he had heard it: as long as he had forged dozens of rare-grade weapons, he could comprehend the mystery of "enchantment"!

"Shouldn't enchantment be a skill honed after a year of work at the location of the three major furnaces after being promoted to blacksmith grandmaster? And that kind of enchantment method like a child knocking on walnuts, is it really not a joke? The craftsman is on the top, I really can't imagine that a blacksmith master in my dignity can have a day when he can't understand the operation of an intermediate blacksmith! I have only heard the teacher mention it, but I have never really operated it, the ghost knows, right?" Master Hank shouted in his heart, feeling all kinds of grievances.

"Ah, that, yes, yes, there's a little problem! You're right, Mr. Kinley?"

Jinli's response was not much better. Although he had traveled all over the country of Morrowind, it was the first time he had seen a monster-like blacksmith like Luo Ning.

"Ahem, Mr. Ronin... You really... Just a mid-level blacksmith?" he was a little skeptical of Hank's words, and he had to admit it himself.

Luo Ning nodded: "It's true! You can't expect a person who has just learned to strike iron for nine days to ascend to the sky in one step, right?"

Jin Li's throat moved, and he felt that this kid Luo Ning was not only powerful, but also a little underbeaten!

"Woo, must be wooed!" Jin Li made a decision that any businessman would make, and asked directly: "I take the liberty of asking, I don't know if Mr. Luo Ning is interested in coming to the Longshou Chamber of Commerce..."

"Sorry for not being interested!" Luo Ning refused very directly, "I came to help Master Hank, just to make money to help my sister buy medicine to heal her injuries." I'm not much interested in being a blacksmith!"

"Heal, what herbs does your sister need, our Dragon Head Chamber of Commerce will definitely help you find it!"

Luo Ning still owed a little bit of scheming, waved his hand and refused: "Forget it, even if you can get the Star Moon Stone, you won't be able to see the Witch Doctor of the Firmament! In the end, it will still be a delay! Besides, with me and Master Hank working these days, the reward for these days is enough to buy the Star Moon Stone, there is no need to trouble your Chamber of Commerce again!"

"So that's the case, that's really a pity!" Jin Li smiled, but he made a plan in his heart, he must buy the Xingyue Stone, and then use it as a negotiation condition, so as not to worry about Luo Ning's refusal to join.

"Wait!" Jinli suddenly thought of something, and looked around: "It stands to reason that as a master blacksmith, you should have received a lot of apprenticeship, but there are only two anvils in this blacksmith shop. Master Hank, could it be that all these 200 pieces of equipment were created by the two of you in a hurry?"

Hank is not good at deceiving people, and after a long time, he finally told the truth.

"I have never heard of this before!" Jin Limo rubbed his smooth chin, pondered for a long time, and asked the attendant beside him, "How many spare gold coins are available for us to come this time." ”

The waiter stretched out three fingers.

When Luo Ning saw it, he said in his heart that this Dragon Head Chamber of Commerce was really rich, and there were 30,000 gold coins just for the spare money, which was enough to buy a single room to live in this Maple Leaf Town!

However, it turned out that he still underestimated the Longshou Chamber of Commerce, and also underestimated Jinli's bearing and courage.

"Three hundred thousand gold coins... In this case, you can allocate 30,000 yuan from it and add it to this reward to Master Hank! Master Hank......"

Jin Li took out an iron tablet engraved with the shape of a square and sent it to Master Hank: "That prince has done many injustices, and disaster will befall him within five years." But in the past five years, he is afraid that he will intensify his efforts to deal with the people around the queen. It is inconvenient for the Dragon Head Chamber of Commerce to take you in directly, this is a token given to me by a dwarf friend. If you need it, take it to the southern foothills of the Iceridge Mountains, from where you will enter the city of Ozma and hide for a few years on the dwarven side. The most important thing there is is a variety of rare minerals, presumably Master Hank will not be lonely!"

Master Hank took the iron card, thought for a moment and returned it: "I appreciate your kindness. I don't have many friends, but I still know two people I can trust. If you really want to help, then raise the price of these weapons a little. You must know that the price of a weapon with an enchantment effect is at least 30% more expensive!"

Jin Li was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Of course!"

Hank's credit value was too high, and the process of inspecting the goods was quickly over. When it was time to pay, Jinli still put an extra 30,000 gold coins in the spar card that recorded the amount of payment. He has the heart to befriend Hank, and no matter what the other person's attitude is, he must always show sincerity.

After a short time, Jin Li and his party left the blacksmith shop, and Master Hank handed the spar card to Luo Ning: "At tomorrow's auction, there may be more than the treasure of Xingyue Stone. If you need it, you can use the money. As for me, I'm not going to go!" Mr. Kinley was right. I am loyal to the Queen, and as long as I am in Morrowind, Earl Hawke will not let me go!, young man, remember to say goodbye to Princess Lena for me!"

Luo Ning was blown up by these words: "Master Hank, are you leaving......?"

Hank put on a long robe, carried a spear and baggage behind him, pinned a long sword to his waist, and his eyes were full of reluctance: "This person is like a white cloud in the sky, no one can say when we will meet and when we will disperse! We are separated today, maybe we will meet again soon! Brother Luo Ning, we will meet again in the future!"

Luo Ning looked at his back and sighed helplessly: "Damn the Hawke family! Otherwise, I, Luo Ning, swear, will not spare you!"

Danny Hawke didn't dare to say whether Ronin would spare him lightly, but he knew that the failure of this assassination of Princess Lena had completely annoyed him, Earl Wayne Hawke! The future heir of the Hawke family was kneeling in the empty hall of the castle that was used to gather the knights, staring at the polished armor and the pair of swords that the previous king had given to the Hawke family. Yesterday afternoon, information came back from Maple Leaf Town: all the people he sent were wiped out overnight. Six senior professionals and more than two dozen intermediate professionals. In order to recruit these mercenaries, he spent all the living expenses he had accumulated over the past few years. A full 100,000 gold coins, all of them were lost!

I don't know how long it took, but just as Danny Hawke was about to fall asleep from hunger and exhaustion, the Earl of Hawke finally appeared.

Long gray hair neatly combed back of the head, a slender square face, long, narrow and sharp eyes, and a large hooked nose that occupies a small part of the face. The father and son who got together seemed to be carved out of a mold. It's just that Danny's vision and strength are a cut behind old Hawke.

Old Hawke sat on a chair at the end of the hall, staring at his son with blistered eyes: "Danny, I punished you for kneeling for a day and a night, do you have anything to say?"

Danny knew that his father was forcing him to admit his mistake: "Master Hank is an important person around the queen, and he must be arrested!

"And then?" Old Hawk took a plate of red berries and stuffed them into his mouth with an expressionless face, red juice running down the corners of his mouth like blood.

"Then my tip told me that Princess Lena had found him and brought with her a strange boy, who had just started to forge but was no longer faster than Hank. If he continues to help, his father's plan will probably come to naught!"

Earl Hawke thought for a moment: "Reasonable speculation, but you forgot one thing: Princess Lena's life should not be taken by us! She is a member of the royal family anyway! The act of killing her will become the handle of the Hawke family, and the shackles around the necks of all of us!"

Danny took a deep breath and expelled the pressure from his father, "As my father said, the five high-ranking professionals I arranged were all killed by the Daredevil assassin who accepted the task of assassinating the princess. The other group died at the hands of Hank and the boy, who was not only an assassin of great power, but also able to summon strange metal puppets!"

"Name!" Earl Hawke ate faster and faster, and Danny knew that this was a sign that he was starting to get agitated.

"Ronin Campbell! It is rumored that this kid's parents were killed by His Royal Highness the Prince just a few days ago!

A long silence tormented Danny's body and mind. It wasn't until there was a crisp sound in his ears that the delicate silver plate was knocked to the ground by Earl Hawke, who gasped and whispered: "Let the informants stop, and don't ask about His Highness! Also, it's almost time for the Hawke family to make a choice!"

Danny's face turned pale: "Father, I can still contribute to the family!

"The future of the family cannot be gambled on the fate of one person!" Earl Hawke interrupted his son, "that kid and his sister are not ordinary people! If they return to the royal capital alive in the future, then please remember that you must be on their side! For this reason, you must even be prepared to break with me, or even betray the Hawke family!"

"What, father, you ......" Danny was taken aback, thinking that he must have misheard.

Earl Hawke wiped his hands and got up to leave the hall: "You must not put all the weights on one end of the scales at the same time! as long as the queen can be healed, the good days of His Royal Highness will come to an end!"
