Chapter 66: Zimmer the Redbeard
"Yes, I'm only helping temporarily, not officially learning the arts. Do you know Master Raphael?"
The mustache smiled: "It's not a matter of learning art! That master has never accepted apprentices." As long as you can get two words of guidance from him, it will be more effective than studying with those bullshit blacksmith grandmasters for ten years! I was obsessed with the art of forging for a while, and when I heard that he was in the Morrowind Academy, I immediately spent tens of thousands of gold coins to sneak in, wanting to learn the craft of forging from him. But guess what?"
Luo Ning muttered: "That guy has a foul mouth but a soft heart, and his skills are also very great! I guess he probably scolded you for being stupid, and at the same time handed over the forging skills to you." β
"You're only half right!" said the mustache, taking a bottle of liquor from the closet, pouring it into a glass and drinking most of it, "he saw my craft and scolded me for being stupid and not a blacksmith, and said that if he were me, I would just get out of here and do a small business to make a living! I was so angry that I threw the hammer and ran out in anger. β
Luo Ning sighed: "This guy is really, why do you have to say it so ugly?"
The mustache stared at the residual wine in the glass, and his smile revealed a bit of gratitude: "No, there are three people I am most grateful to in my life, and one of them is Master Raphael!"
"Ha" Ronin suspects that this mustache is a shake M.
I only heard the mustache continue: "At that time, I was young and ignorant, and I never had a normal way to do things. Master Raphael saw this and deliberately provoked me. Before I pushed the door and left, he suddenly sneered twice and said something meaningful. β
"What?"
He said that if I was blind and couldn't find my way up the mountain, I wouldn't be able to climb to the top of the mountain even if I had ten legs. The mustache drank the remnants of the wine and let out a long sigh of relief, "After leaving the morning breeze, my mind was full of the last words. It wasn't until ten days later that it dawned on me: although Master Raphael refused to teach me blacksmithing, he had taught me more valuable skills!"
"More valuable skills?"
"Yes, isn't it more valuable to teach me how to be a man than to teach me how to strike iron? Since then I have changed my attitude and devoted myself to business, and this is why I have the happy life I have today! Do you think I should be grateful to him?"
Luo Ning praised from the bottom of his heart: "It seems that I underestimated him!
"Of course!" the mustache glanced at the list: "To get back to the point, you can't buy these materials without five thousand gold coins, do you have enough money?"
"Five thousand?" Luo Ning gasped. Five thousand gold coins are equivalent to 100,000 soft sister coins in the previous life. He opened the money bag and counted it, shook his head and said, "Raphael only gave two hundred gold coins!"
Seeing that Ronin was embarrassed, Green helped to persuade: "Since you have all been instructed by Master Raphael, for his sake, can't you be cheaper?"
The mustache's face changed: "Business belongs to business, not a single child can be achieved! For the sake of Master Raphael, I will allow him to build equipment as collateral at most, and the materials and venues will be provided by me, and he can get as much equipment as he wants! This little brother has been recognized by Master Raphael, presumably the craftsmanship will not be too bad! As long as you build the equipment, I will buy it at the purchase price!"
Green said: "You have a good calculation, and you directly save the trouble of purchasing goods! It seems that little brother Luo Ning doesn't want to leave today!"
Luo Ning didn't feel troublesome. He had already lit up the forging skill tree, and the speed at which he crafted equipment was already extremely fast. Although 3,000 gold coins is a lot, it will only cost two or three rarity pieces to exchange for equipment, and it will not take much work. In addition, he also needs to constantly practice to accumulate proficiency to upgrade his forging skills, and the condition of the mustache is exactly what he wants: "No problem!"
Seeing that he agreed, the mustache first pulled up two locked wooden boxes from the hole, then walked to the wall and fiddled with it, and after the sound of the mechanism, he pushed open the wardrobe placed against the wall, revealing a secret door.
"Come with me! The weapons shop next door is also my business. No one bothered to go there to get equipment!"
The four of them entered through the secret door and soon came to the next house. Gris looked left and right, and saw that there were furnaces, anvils, whetstones, sinks, and other equipment, and various forging materials were piled up in the corners. He put on his gloves, picked up the hammer on the ground and made a few strokes, and said with a smile: "Then let's build the most commonly used iron sword!"
Luo Ning took the materials and got busy.
Seeing that he was skillful and quick, the mustache had more calculations in his heart, and smiled at Green beside him: "Don't say it, the basic skills of Little Brother Luo Ning are solid, much stronger than I used to be." If you have a chance in the future, you have to cooperate with him a lot! Why did such a powerful little guy let you two bump into each other?"
The two of them gave a general account of what had happened. The mustache twisted his beard, and his eyes were slightly cold: "It's just a group of despicable villains, it's nothing! He is so young and promising, and it is normal for him to be calculated by villains." β
"I'm all right!"
Green and the others were laughing to themselves, and suddenly heard this "bad line" from Luo Ning's previous life, and they all turned their heads to look at Luo Ning in surprise, and they were all stunned by a cold light.
"Hissββ so bright!" The mustache reopened his eyes, only to see a sharp long sword glowing with a cold cold light lying quietly on the anvil, the sword was as bright as autumn water, cold than frost, although he hadn't explored it carefully, judging from his experience, this was at least a rare weapon.
"Good sword! What a good sword!" the giant man Lu Ben was simple-minded, and he couldn't help but applaud after seeing the long sword. Even the elven ranger Green, who had seen extraordinarily, was stunned on the spot, he didn't expect the weapon created by Luo Ning to reach such a high level.
Green nodded, "That's right, and this speed can't be described as fast, right? It's only been too long, and it's not even half an hour, right?"
"This is a casual imitation of the standard long sword held by those guards in Jinshui City, the sword name is Xue Feng. How much do you think it's worth?"
The mustache rushed over and picked up the sword, his fingers brushing lightly over the sword, and the admiration in his mouth continued, and then he slashed the blade through the corner of the anvil, cutting it off in an instant like cutting tofu.
"Rare level, no! If you can add the right three-star enchantment attribute, this Snow Edge Sword is enough to reach the epic level!"
"So... How much can it be worth?800 gold coins, or 1,000?" Luo Ning didn't care what level this sword was, and he couldn't use it anyway.
"1,200 gold, no, I'll give you 1,500 gold!" The mustache immediately responded.
Green felt slightly unhappy after hearing this: "Zimmer, you're too greedy, aren't you?"
The mustache showed a sly smile, twisted the slender red beard and defended: "No, no, it's not that I'm greedy. I'm half as much as my little brother's!If you think I'm going too far, so be it......."
The mustache rolled his eyes, took out a blood-red gold coin and threw it to Luo Ning: "Little brother Luo Ning." In the future, if you are short of any precious materials, just come to me with this blood coin. If I'm not there, give the gold to the man who looks after the shop in my place, and tell him that it's given to you by Zimmer the Redbeard. I'll count all the materials cheaply for you! As long as you make another Snow Edge Sword for me, I'll give it to you for free!"
"Okay, that's it!" Luo Ning gladly accepted. He didn't really care about the gold coins, but even more about this stable and powerful supply channel.
Luo Ning soon unleashed the second Snow Blade Sword, and in the ghostly gaze of the mustache Ji, he packed the two boxes of materials into the space ring, and left the black market to return to Morrowind with satisfaction. And Green and the two stayed, and asked the mustache with a serious face: "Zimmer, tell me honestly, how much is this equipment worth!"
Zimmer carefully loaded the two swords, and twisted his beard with his fingers: "I got it on the black market, and someone is willing to buy it for 3,000 gold coins! But more precious than this long sword is the little brother Luo Ning who gave me a great surprise! Have you seen the space ring on his hand? It is the one I entrusted someone to give to Murray Archmage ten years ago!"
