Chapter 138: The Grumpy Giant
The giant heard Harvey's call and turned his head. But instead of the joy of reuniting old friends, his face was full of anger.
"Shut up, be quiet!" the giant elf named Hetoth shouted impatiently.
With his roar, a mass of molten liquid metal sprang out of a massive crucible on the workbench, which was twisted in the air by the power of magic into the shape of a beast that leapt to the ground and darted towards Harvey, opening its mouth full of flames with brutality.
Oops, dangerous!
Jiwen subconsciously pulled out his fate, and then urged the crystal disk to shoot the ice arrow at the blazing monster.
The moment the ice arrow hit the monster, a white mist erupted in the air, and the huge ice arrow was directly evaporated into water vapor by the heat on the monster's body. After the impact, the monster continued to run unharmed, but the color of its body also dimmed, and the metal on its surface had solidified, and only the blazing red light could be seen in the countless cracked crevices.
It seemed that he could only fight hard, and Ji Wen once again posed the starting style of the swordsmanship in Yinlong's memory. The moment he saw the fierce head approaching, he leaped up, and the sword of fate swept across the body of the fierce beast like a giant dragon flicking its tail.
The heavy shell of the beast was shattered by the blade of fate, and its entire body split into two parts, hitting the ground and rolling down for a long distance.
Seeing that the beast had been cut in two, Govern reraised his sword, keeping an eye on the giant elf's movements, watching out for his next blow. But at that moment, the two remnants of the beast began to writhe again, and the molten liquid metal turned into two smaller beasts, standing up again behind Jiwen.
"Jiwen, be careful!"
Harvey quickly stretched out the ring on his finger and cast an aurora spell, shattering the head of a small beast, but the other beast had already jumped up and pounced on Given's neck.
"Whew!" an unfamiliar roar shook the eardrums of Givens and Harvey.
Just as the little beast was about to bite Jiwen, a black shadow leaped up, collided with the little metal beast, and then rolled to the ground.
Givens looked back, stunned by the scene in front of him.
The black shadow was Hull, the bronze-skinned boy turned into a burly bronze bear, it pressed the metal beast under its claws, and frantically tore at the beast's body, the metal beast seemed vulnerable to its sharp teeth, and in a short time the giant bear devoured the beast.
It was then that the little beast whose head had been shattered by Harvey came back to life. But as soon as the bear jumped up, it deformed the beast, which had shrunk in size again, and then stuffed it into its mouth neatly.
After eating the two beasts once and for all, Hel slowly reverted to his human form.
It seems that because of eating, the boy seems to be more energetic than just now. But he looked at Givens and Harvey a little embarrassed, and then quickly wiped the metal crumbs off his mouth.
Givens looked back at the giant elf who was mixed with flames and had no new attacks, and quickly asked, "Hel, what's going on?"
The combat power that Hull transformed and burst out just now was comparable to that of Jiwen, and the ability to devour metal was even more jaw-dropping.
Hull lowered his head and whispered the reason for all this. Hull's race feeds on metals and minerals. And transformation is their racial talent, they are more powerful when transforming, but the ** that devours metal is also more intense, almost difficult to suppress.
After listening to the narration, Harvey walked up and tapped Hel's chest with his staff, and the sound of the impact was clearly like hitting a piece of hollow metal.
"Kid, you're really an iron figure. So that collar and mask are the props that stop you from transforming?"
If Hull hadn't been wearing a collar and a mask, the Hamms wouldn't have been able to trap him.
Hull nodded, but he was conspicuously reluctant to talk about the collar and mask. The boy turned to observe Jiwen's expression, and then explained in a low voice: "Please believe me, I am not a monster, I can control my consciousness when I transform." ”
Seeing that the boy was anxious to clarify his appearance, Jiwen patted Hull on the shoulder and comforted him, "I'm sure you're not a monster, but we'll talk about this later, and now we have to deal with another trouble." ”
Because Given's already noticed that the Flame Giant had turned around. He grabbed a great axe from what appeared to be a pool full of oil, and strode towards where Given and the others stood.
However, this time he did not attack, but teased Harvey loudly: "Harvey, the bodyguard you brought this time seems to be good, is it a new employee?"
"Hetoth, be careful, did you just want to dry my old bones?"
Harvey's tone at the moment was far less amiable than it had just been.
"What are you afraid of, you won't really die anyway, at most you will only suffer for a moment. The Flame Giant said nonchalantly, "Besides, the last thing you traded was of poor quality, and you should be taught a lesson." ”
As soon as the elf named Hetoth mentioned the quality problem, the goblin Harvey's newly improved momentum quickly shortened by half a cut. He muttered, "That's not all to blame me, the dwarf master last time was too stupid." In order to solve this problem, I specially brought a new blacksmith master today. ”
"Master blacksmith, is this the one who wields the sword?"
Hustow narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiwen again, his gaze quickly falling on the "fate" in Jiwen's hands.
"Villain, your swordsmanship is good, but it's a pity that this sword of yours was not forged for you. Only in the true master can the sword exert its full power. ”
Hearing Hursto's explanation, Givens frowned. The demon disguised as an elf had said the same thing to him before.
Even such a powerful "fate" is not the strongest moment of this sword, so what kind of power will be the "fate" that releases all its power, Jiwen is a little bit unimaginable.
But Hetos seemed to misunderstand Given's expression, and he said a little mockingly, "Are you sorry? If you are really a master blacksmith, then you can hone your craft and craft a weapon that is stronger than this. ”
"Hetoth, he has a tough question for you, we ......"
Seeing that the two were talking, Harvey interjected and said the purpose of the trip.
"Excuse me?" Hestow interrupted Harvey and raised his chin deliberately, "He's not qualified enough. Harvey, while I'm going to spend some time trading something new with you, that doesn't mean I'm going to waste my time teaching a guy who doesn't get into the flow. ”
"Hetos, time is the least valuable thing in this world. ”
Harvey immediately jumped up and retorted, but Hetos ignored Harvey at all, and just looked at Given's provocative gaze, of course, what he said was an excuse, he simply disagreed with Given's ability. For Hetos, not everyone can call themselves a master blacksmith in front of him.
Given, unflinching from this silent challenge, put away his sword and looked at the great axe that Hetos was holding in his hand.
The metal surface of the double-edged axe glowed with a blue glow, and combined with Hetoth's actions just now, it was obvious that he had just done a special quenching.
"You've just finished quenching, don't you need to heat it up a little longer? A brittle axe isn't much use on the battlefield. ”
Jiwen said quietly, although ordinary quenching can enhance the hardness, it will also make the metal brittle, so it is also necessary to restore the toughness through tempering.
The confrontation seemed to make Gilvin agree slightly, and Hetos glanced at Given, and then spoke again.
"It's good you're not blind. It's a bit like a blacksmith. ”
With that, Hetos placed the giant axe on a heating stove, then picked up a shield in the studio and threw it in front of Given.
"Give me the blacksmith's craft to pierce it. Then you are qualified to ask me questions. ”
With that, the giant elf turned back to the workbench and began to work on its own, leaving Jiwen and them completely aside, as if they were completely non-existent.
