Chapter 12: The Call

This night, Jiwen slept so soundly that he even dreamed that he was back on campus, swiped a double chicken leg with a meal card, and then went to the commissary to buy a large bottle of Coke, but just as he smelled the aroma and was about to feast, he was actually woken up.

Given's eyes opened impatiently.

only to find his boss, the old goblin Harvey, knocking on the wall with a staff.

"Hurry up, it's time to work!"

Givens rubbed his eyes, deliberately scrambled to his feet, and then followed old Harvey downstairs to the square in a daze.

The blinding white light around him quickly woke up to Given, and he found that old Harvey was leading him towards a building with a huge chimney on the edge of the square.

Jiwen asked curiously, "What is my job?"

Old Harvey didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically, "Last time I heard Quintus say that you still have magic resistance?"

"Pretty much. ”

Givens casually arrived. The elves who evaluated him last time seemed to have said that blocking the red glow of a sword for him was magic resistance. Hearing the affirmative answer, old Harvey seemed to be excited, and his eyebrows were raised to the sky.

"Very well, I'm going to make you a blacksmith. ”

Only then did Givens understand why Harvey's attitude towards him was suddenly a little better after seeing that he had that brute strength. It turned out that he had this in mind.

However, Given's sudden discovery that the birdman Quintus was also a little too long-mouthed, making it seem that he had no privacy in front of Harvey.

Thinking of this, Givens couldn't help but ask, "Quintus is also an employee here?"

"It's not. Harvey shook his head, "I don't want to hire that whiny guy, he's just an old customer." ”

"He often comes to buy second-hand goods?" asked Given, angrily.

"He's just here to sell news, he's a big summoning beast now, and he's always in touch with something interesting. Old Harvey replied vaguely.

"You buy and sell information?"

Givens was even more surprised, he had thought it was just a scrap yard.

"Of course, second-hand news is also second-hand, and there is always someone who is interested. Old Harvey winked triumphantly.

A moment later, they had walked to the special building.

Looking through the door, there is a large pile of tools and instruments that resemble a forge in the room. Now the red-hot furnace was burning vigorously, filled with a large number of red-hot metal pieces and a crucible containing molten metal.

"What is this blacksmith for?" asked Given.

"The garbage I collect can't be sold without disposing of it. ”

After saying that, Harvey walked to the action stage, skillfully put on a leather apron, and then began to give Jivin a good lesson.

In the forbidden space, neither minerals nor animals or plants are produced, only some worthless stones. But the various summons imprisoned here always have some unique needs.

Some sapient creatures need unique magical items and equipment, some creatures need decorations or toys, and of course, some guys need special gadgets to satisfy certain special desires.

Harvey is the service provider of these needs, and he is responsible for meeting the needs of the world. And the raw materials he produced were the garbage that Givens had seenβ€”items that summoned creatures had inadvertently brought to the world

Most minions return to the Forbidden God with a bit of real-world appendages.

For example, a succubus may be holding a hapless man's trouser belt as a whip when he is unsummoned, a giant beast that has just experienced a fight will have warriors' arrows and weapons stuck in his body, and elves with a collecting habit may carry all kinds of household items in their hands.

Of course, if a knight throws his holy sword to save the princess and kills a minotaur summoned by an evil witch, it is likely to add a valuable collectible to the forbidden god space.

Harvey Sr. collects these real-world materials, repairs, assembles, and even remanufactures them, and then trades them out.

Since there is no currency in this world, the goblin Harvey has developed a stone currency that acts as an equivalent.

Of course, sapient beings generally refuse to accept such broken stones without credit, but the intelligent goblins and orcs are still happy to be deceived by such tricks.

Since there are a lot of minimons coming and going to this store, this is a cameo in the Information Exchange Center. Harvey, who was extremely sensitive to business, quickly took up a part-time job as an intelligence peddler.

Although in Given's opinion, Harvey did not have any material gains in running these businesses, after all, Harvey's own clothes and equipment seemed to be terrible, but the elder Harvey was very proud of his shop. Maybe it's because he's been in this forbidden space for a long time, and running this shop is all his spiritual sustenance.

After introducing the main business, Harvey began to assign work to Jiwen, only to see the old goblin point to a large iron felt not far away. "I can't waste your strength, you hurry up there and practice your craft.

Givens came to the felt and picked up the tongs and hammer and tried to manipulate them twice. For him, who has only done metalworking internships, although ironwork is interesting, he really doesn't know anything about it.

Harvey looked at Jiwen's layman's movements, frowned, and began to train Jiwen with his own hands.

"That's right, straighten your waist, don't smash the hammer. β€œ

"Left and right hand coordination, coordination!"

"A little more effort!"

With Harvey's constant scolding and the beating of his staff, Given's movements slowly became decent. Since he was not tired in this world, Gilvin did not get bored with this mechanical training for the time being, but under the guidance of curiosity, he learned to forge well.

After at least seven or eight hours of continuous high-intensity practice, Jiwen's movements became more and more skillful, and the strength of his whole body could be poured into the hammer head with the movements.

Finally, after Jiwen struggled to hammer down, the huge iron felt was knocked into two pieces by Jiwen. Half of it was smashed into the dirt of the ground, and half of it was squeezed and twisted to the point that it was unseemly. And the hammer is no longer shapeless.

After this accident.

Jiwen looked at the boss Harvey with some trepidation, but the old goblin didn't have any anger or dissatisfaction on his face, and he didn't settle the account for him, but just said coldly: "Take a little rest, I'll go find a set of tools." ”

With that, the old goblin tapped the ground with his staff again, teleporting himself to a dark warehouse.

It was only then that the old goblin Harvey smiled excitedly.

Great! This guy is a humanoid forging machine!

Harvey's blacksmith's workshop had been closed for a long time since the last dwarven craftsman left, and Harvey could only make jewelry or simple small arms on his own, and now the newcomer named Givens was almost tailor-made for his blacksmith's workshop. This guy is simple, he doesn't understand anything, he should be able to stay here for a long time, and he also has the brute strength of a fifth-order summoned beast or above, which is just enough to complete some special blacksmith work.

Summoners now prefer to look for creatures with powerful magic, and there are fewer and fewer summoned beasts with great power. And those summoned beasts with fifth-order power often have higher-order magical abilities or strange tempers. It is absolutely impossible for a summoned beast like that to deign to work in its own second-hand store.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that you can't afford to miss!

Old Harvey excitedly planned his future prospects, and at the same time dug out his ballast treasures from the warehouse.

When Harvey Sr. reappeared in front of Given, Givens was stunned by what he saw.

Old Harvey used the levitation technique to bring a set of Mithril forging tables, and even a few Adamantite tools on them. These precious equipment and tools shine brightly, adding a layer of light to the dimly lit blacksmith's shop.

In addition to this dazzling tool, the elder Harvey also brought a large pile of stone slabs, on which were carved the blueprints of various props. With the foundation of Jiwen's mechanical drawing, he could tell at a glance that there were weapons, armor, and some mechanical connectors.

Old Harvey rubbed his hands excitedly and shouted, "Come on, come on, let's continue to train and practice all the things on these stone slabs." ”

"Do you want to finish it all at once and not take a break?"

Looking at so many tasks, Jiwen asked with some weakness.

"I'm not hungry or tired here, why do you want to rest!"

After Harvey finished speaking, he grabbed his tools, stood with Jiwen, and then yelled sternly: "New here, pay attention, don't get distracted!"

Jiwen endured a breath and kept reminding himself that he was only sending people under the fence temporarily, and then endured the scolding and continued to learn metalworking.

I don't know how long he has been training continuously, but Givens suddenly found that this kind of intensive cramming training seems to have a certain superiority in this special world. Now that he has mastered the basic methods of centralized forging, he is also familiar with the processing properties of many materials, and with his less skilled skills, he can also make some metal modules of different shapes according to the records on the stone slabs.

Watching Given's slow onboarding, Harvey unfastened his apron with confidence. After instructing Givens to continue his slate training, he walked out of the blacksmith shop and continued to worry about his shop.

As soon as old Harvey was gone, Givens immediately slackened off, and he was not interested in completing the boring repetitive exercises, but tried to build a weapon from the stone tablets on which the weapons were written.

The orc knife from last time was thrown in the hall by him and didn't bring it back. And the birdman Quintus's magic sword also impressed Jiwen, and he wanted to get something similar for himself.

After choosing a target, Givenn repeatedly forged a strange piece of metal, attempting to forge the incomparably hard piece of metal into a dagger or dagger.

The set of tools that old Harvey brought was indeed a powerful tool for processing, not only could withstand the tremendous force of Jiwen, but also could process any metal with ease. But the biggest problem is in Jiwen's craftsmanship, he worked hard for a long time, and he only managed to get a rough thing that resembled a small file. Just as Given's brains were racking to revise the failed work, a melodious music came into his ears again.

At the beginning, Jiwen was still working and humming along to the tune, as if he was listening to songs and reading textbooks on weekdays. But when the song was almost finished, Jiwen suddenly came to his senses.

This is the prelude to the calling!

Adelia is calling herself again, but she hasn't prepared for anything yet!

Given's panicked recollection that the helmet and cloak were still in the room where old Harvey was drinking, and it was too late to get them now. If you borrow items from Harvey on credit for a while, you will have to add new debts.

Just look for what you have at hand and make do with it.

Jiwen paid attention and quickly glanced around, the set of valuable tools was eliminated first, and he didn't plan to take the treasure to work desperately. And it doesn't seem to make much sense to hold the rest of the broken iron.

So Given's eyes quickly fell on the poor unfinished dagger.

Forget it, just use your first blacksmith artifact as a weapon.

Givens quickly put away the dagger and stuffed it in his ragged clothes. No sooner had he put things away than the song came to an abrupt halt, and everything around him began to darken.
