The minecart was exceptionally light, as Xia Zuo put all the ore he had collected into his bag.

Convenience is convenience, and the things promised to the village chief still cannot be blatantly violated.

When he was about to arrive at the blacksmith's hut, Xia Zuo took them all out and piled them on the minecart.

The first three slots of the backpack slot are all occupied by "Iron Ore x99", and I thought it would be difficult to put them all out. The checklist of the responsible point → discarded, and the number was pulled to 99, and the body began to automatically take them out and throw them to the ground, which did not use Xia Zuo's strength at all. Fortunately, the iron ore taken out is sorted by quality, and Xia Zuo does not need to sort it anymore.

"Did you come back so soon, I thought I was going to dig until dark." Holf pushed away the crowd at the door, and after seeing the minecart pull up the handbrake to stop, he froze in place, "W-how much!?" ”

"Huh? That's what my father said, defeat your forge? Ola approached Horf and asked in a low voice, "Looks like he doesn't have any muscles, is he really a forger?" ”

It was a cartload full of ore, almost squeezing people's places.

"How did you do that!?" Horf didn't reply, and rushed to the minecart in disbelief, holding the edge with both hands, to see that the ore in the cart was stacked in different variegated colors, and the quality of the three small piles was different, and the number of the best piles was very small.

Naturally, Horf cannot see the value of quality, and can only judge whether it is good or bad based on the experience of appearance.

"Ah~ like this, something unforeseen happened." Xia Zuo scratched his head and responded, looking a little apologetic.

"Are you going to work in our shop?" For some reason, Horf interrupted as the first thing to think of was this.

"Uncle Holf, we've encountered a dangerous monster in the mine!" Rebecca said solemnly.

"Monsters? ... No, it's a wild mouse from outside the village? ”

"It's a werewolf more than two meters tall, jumping out of the crystal ore...... His Excellency Xia Zuo called it "amber". ”

Horf was skeptical, even if it came from a solemn Rebecca.

After decades of wind and rain, Horf looked at this hill, from being found buried ore, to digging a mineralizing hole, but such a monster is unheard of. Can monsters be sealed in the stones? Maybe there's nothing strange in the world...

"It's a coincidence that you have encountered something that I haven't encountered at my age, and it sounds abrupt, hahaha..."

Until Rebecca rolled up her sleeves and showed him the abrasions.

"It's true, old blacksmith," Xia Zuo added, "because of its appearance, a corner of the mine collapsed, and these ores were easily found from that collapse. ”

Rebecca had promised Xia Zuo not to tell him about his ability to mine quickly and go to the abandoned mine pit to find inferior ore, which also seemed to be reasonable for him.

As for what she wanted, all she wanted was to tell Horf and the village chief about the existence of monsters.

"Really!? So how did you escape, is that werewolf dangerous!? Horf asked eagerly, "I remember that werewolves are very rare on the continent, and their tribe is rumored to be in the far north of the continent..."

"That's no ordinary werewolf!" Seeing that Horf didn't understand at all, Rebecca excitedly said, "It doesn't even look like what I see in the books... Thanks to His Excellency Xia Zuo, the werewolf was successfully resolved. ”

"And what about the corpses of werewolves? Still in the hole? ”

"It's... disappeared, and for some reason, after Lord Xia Zuo collected fur from it, the werewolf's corpse fell into the ground. ”

Horff heard it in a fog.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" At this time, Grim came to the minecart full of confidence, puffed out his chest, and appeared to be very reliable, "I vaguely heard Rebecca say that she was in danger in the mine?" Yes, there are occasionally one or two wild mice, and the useless outsider next to you must be scared, right? Was the wild mouse solved by Rebecca this time? Please let me follow next time, a hundred wild mice are no match for them. ”

Rebecca didn't overdo it, ignored it, and deliberately pulled down her sleeve, if Grim saw the injury, she would have to blow up the pot, and the exaggerated reaction caused by trivial things had been seen a lot before.

As for whether Uncle Holf can understand, it's hard to say, after all, it's very unbelievable to see this with his own eyes, or tell the village chief afterwards that he is good at magic-related things, and he must know the monster sealed in the magic crystal.

If the village chief also thinks that, as His Excellency Xia Zuo said, there will be no more werewolves frozen in stones in the mine, he will not alarm everyone in the village, which will make people panic.

Grim glared at Natsuzo most of the time, even when he had just spoken to Rebecca with joy.

This is obvious, Xia Zuo saw what he meant, because this kind of thing is hated by people, the feeling of déjà vu, Xia Zuo will not take the initiative to provoke, let's get down to business.

"By the way, Rebecca, I have already sent you home the medicine you picked in the morning, Mr. Andrew looks good, and it seems that you have taken good care of him."

Rebecca looked at the position of the sun, and had to mash the newly picked ones for her father before dinner.

"It's been this time," Rebecca bowed slightly to Xia Zuo, "Your Excellency, will you stay at the blacksmith for the rest of the year?" I'm going to go home first, and I'll stop by the village chief's house and tell him about the cave werewolves, and you can wait for me at the blacksmith shop in a short time. ”

Waiting for her? When these words reached Grim's ears, the nature changed greatly, "Why does Rebecca have to stay with people from outside the village?" ”

"What are you talking about? Grim, it's just that the village chief asked me to be the guide of His Excellency Xia Zuo, can you not interrupt me. Rebecca said politely.

"Rebecca can get busy if she has something to do, and I'll have to work on the equipment building thing next."

Xia Zuo and Horf returned to the blacksmith shop, and they also helped carry the ore from the cart.

In terms of physical strength, Horf and Ola can hold each other at a time, but Xia Zuo can only take two or three, which is completely incomparable. Ola couldn't help but scoff, wondering if his father was old and confused again, and made a mistake......

The three of Grim naturally followed Rebecca away, which was the purpose of Grim's original visit. Before leaving, Grim looked at Xia Zuo's eyes as if he was warning, and Xia Zuo could understand a little, and the two were treated by Rebecca with two completely different attitudes. Xia Zuo was very glad that the automatic counterattack would not react to that person's murderous aura.

The blacksmith shop had already fulfilled Xia Zuo's initial request to let him collect some ore by himself and return. The forging work began in full swing.

The exuberant flames almost rushed from the furnace to the roof, but the real labor was only on the side of the Holf father and son, who worked together to use a stove and an anvil, and the two hammers alternated almost inaudibly on the crimson iron sword, which had not been done for a long time, as if Ola had not been since he graduated from his apprenticeship, and he was very emotional and nostalgic.

At this moment, the iron sword had just cooled out of the mold, and it was perfectly shaped by the dwarven father and son.

On Xia Zuo's side, he unhurriedly picked out the inferior ore, and first took the ore to the furnace, this time it was no longer just an anvil, and it was necessary to use the furnace to practice it into a metal ingot. Click "Smelt", and in the blink of an eye, the iron ore turns into iron ingots, the same light effect as the previous forging one-handed sword.

Compared to hand, such forging is also not perfect, two iron ores (regardless of the iron content), only one iron ingot can be obtained, which does not conform to the conservation of mass at all. However, the werewolf corpse disappeared out of thin air before, so I didn't care much about this point of mass conservation.

"Forging XP +1"

Immediately after Xia Zuo took Tie Ding to the anvil, clicked "Forge", and the one-handed sword that was exactly the same as the one at the beginning spawned again.

"Forging XP +2"

All I got was an inferior one-handed sword, and looking at the front of the name, I didn't even have the title of "good product", so what step can I do today? He looked expectant.

Xia Zuo began to repeat this process, deciding to use up all the inferior ores and brush himself with the forging level first.

Everything was seen by Ola, he was distracted, and the hammer in his hand slowed down by half a beat.

"Focus." Horff scolded.

"Oh..."Aura continued to focus on striking iron, but deep down he was still amazed, was that guy forging weapons like this!? Magic......

Horf unfolded the flame enchantment scroll, spread it flat on the quenched water, picked up the crimson iron sword that had taken shape, and pierced the seal in the center of the scroll vertically, reaching the bottom of the water...... Suddenly, hot water vapor filled the room, and the sword was hotter than the previous forged products under the action of the magic energy stone.

Leave it on for a while, and wait for the magic seal on the enchanted scroll to be completely transferred to the sword body.

Holf stared straight at the iron sword, and Ola was finally able to relax, he pinched his sweat, and turned around to find that Xia Zuo had already made dozens of one-handed swords!

Ola and his father have worked hard for so long, and Xia Zuoke has only been here for a while.

This time, Ola walked straight to Xia Zuo's side without Horf's consent, bent down and picked up a one-handed sword on the ground, which belonged to one of Xia Zuo's first forgings.

"Can I take a look?" This was asked only after Aura had picked up his sword.

"Please." Xia Zuo said intently, he was still quickly refining the inferior iron ore, two by two, on the anvil, constantly clicking "forging", and getting one one-handed sword after another.

"Why do you forge so much? Our win this time is not about numbers. ”

"Ah, don't worry, I'm just practicing, and the forging work will get better and better after that." Xia Zuo glanced at his information area, and the forging level had been upgraded to level 6.

"Huh? Are you saying that if you forge a large number of swords with magic in one day, your skills will improve? Aura looked carefully at the one-handed sword in his hand, from the shape of the sword to the lines, "IMHO, the skill of the craftsman must be improved through continuous learning, repeating the same sword is like drawing the same painting repeatedly, there will be no overstepping, there will be no progress... You mean, you're going to pick the best one out of the pile of swords you've forged to compete with us? ”

"Emmm, you can understand it that way." Since coming to this world, all the NPCs don't understand the concept of level, and it is estimated that he can't understand it when he tells the other party that he can only make better equipment after the forging level is improved.

"Hehehe... Hahahaha..."Ola's laughter grew louder and louder, and he looked back at Holf and said loudly, "Don't worry Father, this time we won!" What happened before I came may have just been an accident. ”

Ola couldn't believe it at first, after all, the one-handed sword in his hand was very neat, but after looking at the lines, this was clearly an inferior product with a false appearance, and the uniformity of iron was not good at all, but it was also like this before, his father's sword would be defeated, most likely because the other party was lucky, and the magic turned into half of the less inferior sword. This time, how could the sword they made with their hearts be compared to one of the piles of scrap iron, and the one picked out of the scrap is not a scrap?
