Chapter 53: The Family of Refiners
Early the next morning, Li Rumo was woken up by a series of iron knocks from outside the house. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
When I came to the house, I saw that there were dozens of people outside the manor who were busy carrying water carts, and several sturdy men were beating the ore in the furnace with a hammer in front of several open-air iron-making stoves, and a group of people were busy according to the clear division of labor.
Li Rumo didn't know that this was the scene of every morning in Aida Town, and it was the official start of the day.
"Xiao Li Rumo, come to breakfast, I was about to wake you up, but you got up first." There was a call from inside the house.
Li Rumo hurriedly walked into the house, and as soon as he sat down, his aunt brought a bowl of hot wheat porridge: "What about grandpa and uncle?" Are they all full? ”
Li Rumo turned his head and glanced around, and found that Psius and Badley were not there, so he immediately asked his aunt.
The aunt brought Li Rumo a plate of sliced meat and vegetables, and smiled kindly: "They went out at dawn to be busy, your uncle asked you to go to him after breakfast, and I will take you over later, eat it while it's hot." ”
Li Rumo nodded after hearing this, he was indeed hungry, and began to enjoy the first breakfast he came here.
Half an hour later.
"Li Rumo, you see, these are the industries of our Start family, and the smelting of every sword, knife, gun, and axe must go through several strict processes, and there must be no sloppiness at all!" Baddeley pointed to the iron-making furnace and said to Li Rumo.
After finding Baddeley, he took Li Rumo everywhere to watch the smelting process of the weapons workshop, and also explained to Li Rumo.
It's just that Li Rumo didn't understand it, he just watched curiously as a large number of people were busy going in and out, and the heat was rising around the stove, how could a child stand such a high temperature, and in less than an hour, he was already sweating profusely.
Baddeley handed Li Rumo a bowl of cold water, and said with a smile: "I know that you can't adapt to the environment of the workshop now, and you can't understand the mystery of forging, and after a while you will get used to it, and in a few years, you will also love the profession of blacksmith, watching a weapon born from your own hands, among them, there may be a divine weapon that can be passed on to future generations, this beautiful feeling is difficult to say!" ”
"Uncle Baddeley, my grandfather told me that our Starter family is the longest-standing weapon forging family in the empire, and the weapons we built are very famous in the empire, and these are things that my mother never told me." Li Rumo said excitedly.
"Well...... did my father tell you that? Well, this... That's right, the sword next to the current Emperor of the Qiwu Empire, the Tiger Sword, was made by our ancestors more than 900 years ago, well, that's right! Baddeley stammered.
"Tiger Spirit Sword Divine Soldier? Are you sure? Li Rumo shouted excitedly.
Looking at Li Rumo's starry eyes, Baddeley's old face couldn't help but blush.
It is true that the Tiger Spirit Sword, known as the divine soldier, is from their family, but what he didn't say is that in the past thousand years, only this weapon in his Start family can compete for them in the past thousand years.
In the hundreds of years that followed, their family had never been able to produce a divine weapon that could be passed on to future generations, at most, they had created a bunch of good products that were slightly better than ordinary products, so that one generation was not as good as the next, and gradually declined, until now, it has reached the point where they must rely on other big families to survive.
"Li Rumo, my uncle will take you to familiarize yourself with this place today, although Aida Town is not as prosperous as Qiwu City, there are also many flavors that big cities do not have, I think, you will definitely like it." Baddeley hurriedly diverted the topic and pulled Li Rumo towards the center of the town.
Aida Town is not big, but it also has a territory of nearly ten miles, Li Rumo followed Baddeley in a circle, and the whole day passed like this.
In the evening, after the family had dinner together, Psius asked Li Rumo to come to his room.
"Li Rumo, you've been following your uncle for a day today, so you should be a little familiar with Aida Town! In the coming month, day time, you will learn about our family inheritance with Baddeley, just like today. In the evening, my grandfather and I will teach you about the history of our Qiongwu Continent and some other knowledge. Psius smiled at Li Rumo.
"Grandpa, I heard my mother say that our Start lineage is a family that has been passed down for thousands of years, and it can be said that it is one of the oldest families on the Qiongwu Continent, but why are there only a few of us left now?"
This is exactly Li Rumo's doubt, his mother has passed away, and there are only grandfathers, uncles, aunts, little Hank in the family, and if you count him, there are only five people.
It is really strange that a family with a history of thousands of years has only five descendants. In the Ranvel family, any branch is at least a few hundred or more, and the entire family has thousands of people, which forms a sharp contrast with the Starter family.
"Alas~~, my grandfather can't answer you about this, since my grandfather was young, there are only three generations of ancestors and fathers in the family, and it is only from my father's mouth that I know that our family has been brilliant, and it is an ancient family with a history of thousands of years, but it has fallen sharply for thousands of years, as for the reason, even my grandfather and father don't understand!" Psius said with some indifference.
From the moment he was born, the Starts had sunk, and the glory of the past was like a bedside story, a distant legend.
"Uncle said that the ancestors once created a divine weapon, which is now the sword of Emperor Qiwu, let's play a few more divine weapons, so that the family can also be revived!" Li Rumo saw that Psius was sad, wanted to comfort his grandfather, and said innocently.
Psius was stunned for a moment, looked up at Li Rumo, and after looking at his little face with an extremely serious expression, he couldn't help laughing: "Little Li Rumo, if the divine soldiers were really so easy to fight, our Start family would not have been without a fight for more than nine hundred years." ”
"My grandfather's grandfather created tens of thousands of weapons in his life, and experimented with hundreds of different ores, including rare Mithril, Adamantite Gold and other exotic materials, although he refined several weapons that can be called good products......"
Psius took a sip of water and wine, and then said: "But I still haven't been able to produce a divine weapon like the Tiger Spirit Sword, you say, is it easy?" ”
Li Rumo was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect it to be so difficult, and asked puzzledly: "How did the ancestor create it in the first place?" ”
"My grandfather also asked my father this question back then, according to my father's statement, the reason why the ancestors were able to create that divine sword should have used some secret methods that we didn't know, but that secret method was not passed down, so if we descendants want to produce another divine weapon, I'm afraid it's not so easy!" Psius said abruptly.
Li Rumo was silent after hearing this, and finally understood the ins and outs, maybe his mother's family would gradually fall into decay because of this! However, if someone in the Ancestor could successfully create a divine weapon, why couldn't he?
Li Rumo looked at his grandfather's old face with a hint of inexplicable sorrow......
"In the future, I must rely on my own hands to refine the divine weapon!" Li Rumo shouted in his heart.
