Chapter 13: The Stone Man Statue

"Yes, it seems that the craftsmanship of the stonemasons has not been lost at all! At this pace, I will be able to complete my request in two or three days! ”

In the evening, Ush came to see with some anxiety, and the humanoid stone, which had become much clearer, made his eyes light up, and said to the stonemason sitting next to him with a smile.

"Hehe, I don't dare to take credit! This stone has a good texture, although it was a pity before, but it seems that it is indeed very suitable for making a full-body statue in the shape of a humanoid! ”

Unbeknownst to the stonemason, with the help of Jonny's silent fruit ability, the position that originally needed to be polished off had become much softer. It's still a stone, but it only takes a little bit of force to change it into the shape you want.

Because of this, after most of the day's work, the arms, hands, and head at this time have clear outlines, and the next thing is to work more delicately and patiently.

"It's a pity, if my two apprentices are still here, I will catch up all night tonight, at most this time tomorrow, my little brother will be able to witness a perfect work of art!"

At this time, the stonemason was simply appreciating himself, not for the share of gold that Ush had promised. If I can see the birth of the artwork in my hand earlier, I am very much looking forward to this craftsman who has been working with stones for most of his life.

"In that case, then I'll help too, let's do it!"

The stonemason, who was a little excited, seemed to not want to sleep tonight. Wushi knows this kind of person, if the fire in his heart burns, the energy is not comparable to ordinary people. And he did have some itching, wanting to take this opportunity to learn more about this mysterious stone, which is already Jonny in the castle.

"Hehe, little brother, this is not a job that ordinary people can do if they want to! In addition to skill and patience, the requirements for the level of personal artistic accomplishment are also very high! Although I'm too busy alone, it's better not to work too hard! If you're tired today, go back and rest early! ”

The stonemasons did not believe that Ushi could help much, and the average layman could intervene in the work and ask God to worship the Buddha without causing trouble. Obviously, he was in a hurry, otherwise he wouldn't have spent a lot of money and asked him to rush to work as quickly as possible.

"It's true that I haven't practiced for many years, and I'm a little rusty, but I'm still a little more confident than a layman! You go to dinner first, I'll practice my hands with these things first, and if I don't make it in your eyes later, then I'll go to rest! ”

Ush had already thought of an excuse, and he had heard something about the temperament of this good stonemason. In fact, it is not incomprehensible that many skilled people have such and such habits.

"Well, you can use the stones there! Let's say okay first, I'll come back after dinner, if your things don't satisfy me, it's better to go back early and stay, so as not to get in the way! ”

The stonemason's words were a little unkind this time, but looking at the figure of him walking out of the courtyard and going to eat, Wushi smiled and didn't care.

"How's it going, everything is done?"

As the stonemason's figure disappeared into the courtyard gate, Jonny's figure appeared on the stoneman's chest, looking at the man sitting in the pile of tools with a smile on his face and asked.

"Well, there's a place to inquire about things, and I've learned everything you need to know! This is the information I wrote down, and if there is anything else, I can ask again tomorrow! ”

Ushi put down the tools in his hand, although he hadn't used them for a long time, but the familiarity he had been in contact with since childhood could not be forgotten. Handing a thick stack of paper to Jonny, who appeared at the city gate, he picked up the tools and began to tinkle and polish a stone.

"Well, yes, it seems that there are a lot of things that surprised me today! Not only is this large piece of fine stone, but you also have the talent to be a stonemason, and this craftsmanship is not too bad compared to my two apprentices! ”

The stonemason, who had returned from dinner not long after, was visibly much better when he saw the work that Ush had polished. If it weren't for the fact that the other party didn't look like someone who could stay, he would have the heart to let this person stay and be his third apprentice.

With the help of Ush, who he approved, the stonemason's progress was more than twice as fast. A two-meter-tall man with a full body of stone helmet armor slowly appeared in the firelight, clearly appearing in the field of vision of the two.

The combat boots under the feet, the combat skirt on the waist and hips, and the pieces of exquisite plate armor on the upper body. Saying that this is a powerful man with monstrous combat power, I'm afraid no one will not believe it.

Holding two long-handled war knives with the tips of the knives on the ground in both hands, the subtleties on the fingers and handles are also carefully carved very clearly. If you just glance at him, I'm afraid you will think of him as a pair of arms with different skin tones or thin gloves.

The sky was already slightly bright, and the two of them, who were not sleepy, except for the lack of firewood in the fire in the yard, just drank some water and continued to be busy.

Ushi is in charge of the subtleties of his body, and under the guidance of the stonemason, he can also do it with his heart. As for the head and face carving, which are more refined in skill and level, the stonemason is still in addition to the contours of his facial features and the style of his hair at this time.

"Let's go back and rest for a while, it's been a day and a night, and if you don't have enough physical strength and energy, you must not be able to make a work of art that satisfies you in the end!"

At this time, he saw Wushi, who was at dawn, and stretched his waist with a wry smile, and the bones and joints of his body made a crackling sound. He also often can't eat, can't sleep at night, and lives a life of wandering. Not to mention a day and a night, he has experienced the period when he couldn't close his eyes steadily for three or five days. But at this time, the stonemason who was still in good spirits with bloodshot eyes couldn't help but persuade him.

"Well, it's dawn!"

When the stonemason heard Ush's voice, he stopped his busy grinding tools. It's just that as soon as I stopped, my tense spirit felt a little relaxed, and I was indeed a little sleepy, yawning and yawning.

"Well, I'll go to sleep first! If this work of art is flawed, it is that God is willing to forgive me, and I can't be myself! ”

Even if he can do it for a while with a strong spirit, the pursuit of perfect works of art has made this stonemason, who has not been very good recently, once again ignite the passionate soul of not admitting defeat in his youth. Unable to tolerate the pursuit of a flawed work of art in his own hands, Ush persuaded the stonemason to go back to rest without much effort.

"You're tired too, go back and rest!"

Jonny's voice came from the stone, and Ush nodded with a tired smile, covered a large black cloth over the humanoid stone, turned around and left the yard behind the stonemason.
