Seeing the arrival of the dwarf, Ayton was overjoyed, withdrew his right hand on his chest, beckoned to him and said lightly: "Long time no see, what a coincidence, I can actually meet you here"

The so-called long time no see is just charming eyes and ears, Qili was slightly stunned, and quickly understood what he meant.

"yes, yes, I haven't seen you in a long time, friend, what are you doing here? I just bought a good bottle of wine, and I'm going to treat you to a drink."

The director looked at the little-known black-haired boy with a shocked expression, and he could actually be called a brother and sister to the first forging master of Huangyao, Qili?

Although dwarves are known for their straightforward temperament and hospitality, few humans of such a high value as Chili are recognized by him.

"Drinking, of course, but I'm in a bit of trouble here, and I ask a friend to help me solve it" Ayton's words sounded very unkind to the ears of the director, and he had to help pay a huge sum of 2,800 gold coins as soon as they met, and the pit people didn't bring this!

Chili's next move surprised the council of the Chamber of Commerce, and the dwarven forger did not hesitate at all, and directly slapped the two gold cards on the table with a snap.

"This is 20,000 gold coins, remember to send the extra gold coins to the 'Copper Axe' door tomorrow morning"

Chili left this sentence and walked out of the door with Ayton, the young director was still in a state of confusion.

I haven't heard of the forging master Chili, there is a human friend who actually helped him pay more than 10,000 gold coins as soon as they met?

The director secretly decided in his heart that he would also make a dwarf friend in the future...

is also in a state of confusion with the director, as well as the starry night of the first world.

The girl followed closely behind Ariel, her smooth and flawless feet were already wearing a pair of delicate little leather shoes, her upper body was still wearing a thin maid's dress, only two thin silk ribbons hung from her delicate shoulders, and her snow-white skin was exposed to the air, attracting strange glances from others.

However, walking in the bustling Huangyao East District, silver-white waist-length hair and blood-red eyes are the primary reasons for attracting the attention of others.

A variety of eyes converged on her body, which made the already timid girl even more afraid, and her hands tightly clutched the corners of her clothes, covering some of the exposed skin.

Ayton, who was walking in front, noticed that the girl was unusual, but luckily he was wearing an adventurer costume he bought from Black Rock City, and he had a short black cloak behind his shoulders.

Ayton turned around and looked at the girl's red eyes and said softly.

"I'm not going to force you to do anything, Starry Night..."

He took off his cloak and gently draped it over the white shoulders of Starry Night, his fingers touching his skin, and a hint of coolness came from his knuckles.

Starry Night grabbed the cloak blankly, covering his shoulders exposed to the air, and his body trembled slightly.

Ariel hugged her shoulders affectionately and whispered: "Don't keep talking, don't worry, with me and my brother here, no one can do anything to you"

The two of them moved like a warm current in the cold winter, flowing through her broken heart.

Ayton was still a little puzzled, when did Ariel become so good and know how to comfort people?

"But only if you listen to me, otherwise... Hmph" Ariel pressed against Starry Night's face, revealing her demonic fangs, and the next sentence instantly revealed her true nature.

"......" Starry Night's little head shrank back, and Ayton stepped forward, grabbed Ariel's delicate neck, and pulled her away from Starry Night.

"Oops, it hurts, brother, don't try so hard," Ariel cried repeatedly.

"Whoever told you to talk nonsense, shut up and stay by her side"

"I just want to scare her so that she can be obedient in the future"

"How dare you say it!"

"Okay, I'm not going to say that...", Ariel instantly lowered her head.

Looking at Ayton's stern reprimand to Ariel with a straight face, Starry Night couldn't understand his situation for a while, but the fear in his heart dissipated.

Chili at the front looked back in surprise, Starry Night's appearance also made him feel a trace of disgust in his heart, but this look was only fleeting, not for Starry Night herself, but at the dark elf with red eyes and silver hair similar to her.

"Friend, your 'epic' long sword is really powerful, even I really admire the five-body throwing to the ground!"

In the eastern district of Huangyao City, in the private room of a luxury restaurant, the dwarf forger Qili took a big sip of wine and shouted this sentence with the power of wine.

If Ayton hadn't made the room sound insulated well, he would have stepped forward to cover his dwarf's mouth.

"It's all taught by my teacher," Ayton gently touched Ariel, who was next to her, regardless of her image, with a large piece of taste buds. Signaling her to learn more about the starry night next to her, Vince ate the food in the bowl in an orderly manner.

"It's delicious, brother, you can eat some too" Ariel didn't understand what he meant this time, but instead gave him a lot of food in his empty bowl.

“......”

It's one of the most luxurious hotels in the East End, and any dish starts with gold...

Ayton secretly slandered in his heart, and at the same time glanced at the starry night where he was sitting, although he told her to eat as she pleased, but the girl obviously had some concerns, and couldn't let go, so she picked some of the cheapest vegetarian dishes to eat.

This image is far from the lively and cute masked girl he met in the village and town cabin outside Black Rock City.

Chili couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "You two have a really good relationship, like me and my brother, Fili's guy, don't do your job all day long, I don't think this thing has a future for the musket, and you argue with me every day, I don't know how much gold I wasted"

Ayton disagreed: "It's okay, I've been working on muskets lately, and I might discuss it with your brother Fili then."

"Discuss the musket?" said Chili as he took a sip of his sullen wine, shook his head, leaned his head over, and whispered.

"Hey, friend, you learned the art of blacksmithing from that dwarf, let's hear about it, maybe your teacher is an old friend of mine"

“......”

Originally, he wanted to ask about the gold coins through this drink, but the other party talked about family life, and he was embarrassed to speak directly.

At the mention of Bahrain, Ayton suddenly remembered that he had never called Bahrain a teacher in the Dark Cave, perhaps because he was embarrassed, or perhaps because he thought that the relationship between the two was better than ordinary teacher-student relationship, but also teacher and friend.

Today, he and Ariel have settled down, and I don't know what his situation is, Ayton's eyes can't help but show a trace of sadness.

Qili noticed the emotion in his eyes, and suddenly felt that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly coughed twice, and said: "Forget it, let's drink a bar, we dwarves, as long as we drink wine, there will be no troubles."

Ayton shook his head with a wry smile, raised his wine glass and touched it with Chili, took a deep breath, and said, "Actually, my teacher's name is not revealed, and I won't say my teacher's name until I reach a certain level."

"That's right," Chili was about to take a sip of wine when Ayton said again.

"Still, do you know a dwarf named Taklin?"

"Taklin, are you talking about Taklin Hammer?" Killie suddenly thought of something, and his mouth suddenly grew.

"Wait, your teacher is Balin! Only the disciples he teaches can reach your height!"

"......" Ayton's face froze, just said that the teacher's name was inconvenient to reveal, and the other party guessed Bahrain at once, I didn't expect that the white-bearded dwarf who was a bit of an old naughty boy had such a prominent reputation, and he casually met a dwarf forger and inquired about his nephew's whereabouts, and the other party could guess him instantly...

Hearing Bahrain's name, Ariel also glanced up at Qili, but Ayton didn't hint at it, and she buried her head in eating delicious five-star food again.

Starry Night had also heard his mother mention the name Bahrain, and he was a very famous dwarven blacksmith who was extremely proficient in the art of forging enchantments.

Seeing this scene, Qili didn't understand that he had guessed correctly, and immediately laughed and shouted excitedly.

"Haha, sure enough, it's him, I've received a lot of guidance from him before, and hey, friend, didn't that old guy break into the Forest of Despair with Brian? Where is it now? Why hasn't he come out for so long?"

"He... Teacher, he..."Qili asked three times in a row, Ayton suddenly felt a palpitation, and inexplicable fear and sourness welled up in his heart.

As if she was full at this time, Ariel stopped the chopsticks in her hand and wiped the oil and water from the corners of her mouth, and the atmosphere suddenly quieted down...

The dwarven smith with neat orange braids also knew that things were not good, and a smile froze on his face.

Ayton suddenly didn't dare to look directly into Qili's eyes, and said in a trance: "It's not good, something happened, maybe... Never came out."

"Forget it, don't talk about it" Qili lay back in his chair like a freshly filled and deflated ball, his expression full of sadness.

"Anyway, Bahrain has a disciple of you, and it can be regarded as a blessing for a lifetime, but I don't know if he has seen the legendary holy weapon, forget it, don't talk about it"

Chili lifted the flask and drank the ten gold coins inside.

With a bang, an empty flask was placed on the table.

"By the way, you just asked Bahrain's nephew, Taklin, right, that guy, he is also a forger, but his strength is average, just like my brother, he is also a guy who is not doing his job, looking for rare metal ores in the world all day long, Bahrain also went deep into the Forest of Despair in search of Nether Ore, alas, I don't know where he is now..."

"What do you mean... He has no permanent place to live, I don't know where he is?"

"Yes, he's elusive, as adventurous as Bahrain, and no one knows more about metal than him, but so what, I've never heard of him crafting any peerless weapons. ”

Ayton subconsciously ignored the second half of his sentence, and fell into thought, one of Balin's wishes was to teach his nephew Tackerin the skills he had taught Ayton, but it was impossible to find a dwarf in the vast sea of people.

"Well, if you have anything to say about Taklin in the future, let me know as soon as possible. ”

"No problem. Chili shook the empty wine glass, and said in a humming voice: "By the way, your sword was sold for 300,000 gold coins, minus the handling fee, a total of 380,000 and 50,000, and the 5,000 fraction is here."

As he spoke, he took out a heavy bag from behind his waist, which contained about 500 purple gold coins.

"Then the remaining 280,000, it was too troublesome to withdraw at one time, they gave me 28 gold cards, saying that I could use this at any time to go to the branches of Yaolan to receive 10,000 gold coins. Chili pulled out another 26 gold cards from his pocket, two of which had been paid for Ayton.

"Thank you, I won't forget this kindness. Ayton accepted the money bag and gold card, with enough money, there is a bottom line for everything, and as for the remaining more than 7,000 gold coins, he should be paid for the copper axe.

Chili tacitly didn't mention the matter of the seven thousand gold coins, seeing that there was nothing to do, and the wine was finished, he got up and said goodbye: "You and this little girl should have something to say, then I'll go first."

Dwarves speak straightforwardly, and if it were someone else, they would definitely excuse themselves for having something to do temporarily. Escorting the dwarf out of the hotel all the way, he returned to the box, saw the sumptuous food with half a table left, and looked at the starry night with a restrained expression.
