Chapter 19: Knife Craftsman
Because of the heavy rain before, the water in the river was barely deep enough for boats to pass through, and this Otto saved a lot of effort.
Otto, sitting on the bow of the boat, was munching on the grass roots, although he could know that he was on the right path, but it was really boring.
I recently collected a pair of claws that look good, but I also need tools to forge them. There was not a single forge on board, so much so that Alto could not even repair his tattered suit.
"Hey, anyone? Is there anyone on the boat over there? Help me" The sudden cry for help reached Otto's ears, and he suddenly came to his senses when he had nothing to do.
Looking in the direction where the cries for help came, a civilian in cloth clothes was running towards him. It looked like something terrible was chasing her behind her.
"Hey, jump over" brought the boat closer to the shore, and Otto reached down his hand.
"Oh, oh, oh" The visitor seemed to have just reacted, and jumped from the shore with a single acceleration, and she didn't seem to be worried about falling at all.
"Hey~ It's so heavy" Otto pulled the other party up with some difficulty, and then lay on the deck in large characters as if he had exhausted his strength.
"It's rude to say that girls are heavy or something," said the rescued guy, pointing at Otto.
"Uh, are you a girl? I really didn't see it" Otto looked at the other party's flat chest and arm muscles that were more developed than himself, and complained a little weakly.
"Your eyes are so rude, let me introduce myself, my name is Changguang, if you don't have a surname, you can also call me Changguang, a knife worker" The girl patted her chest with an expression of coming to praise me.
"What to do? I always feel like I've picked up a problem, so let's just throw it away now. β
"Hey, why don't you speak." The girl kicked Otto, who was lying on the deck.
"If someone could be a little lighter, I think I would still have the strength to speak."
Changguang "......"
"Otto Apokalis, my name. Just now you said you were a knife maker? Otto got up from the deck and asked with a grunt.
"Yes, I'm pretty good."
"Then how did you just get chased and run?"
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
"I don't think I can talk to you more than three words."
"Tell me, you were chased by the Honkai Beast," Otto found a place to sit down, his chin propped up in a languid look. The boring life of these few days can suffocate him, and if the collapse here is not solved, the pointer will be useless.
"Honkaimon? That kind of creature? Changguang also found a place to sit down, and then replied nonchalantly.
"Look at your body, which is stronger than a man, I don't think ordinary beasts hurt you," Otto, who had a bad taste, said heart-piercing words without care.
"It's too much, you." If the person in front of her was not her savior, she really wanted to go up and beat it twice.
"I've had my eye on a big prey lately, especially its pair of horns."
"Those horns that can shoot lightning if they are used to craft weapons......"
"But you can only escape when you meet him," Otto continued to dismantle the stage.
"Oh, how is your craft. I still have good material here. Otto, who had long felt that the knife master was a little familiar, finally remembered at this moment, the director of the Mandate of Heaven Research Institute, and the knife master who was rumored to have lived for thousands of years.
In addition to the three weapons made from the body parts of the Honkai Beast, her work also imitates the Spirit Knife Sakura Fukiyuki to create the imitation Spirit Knife Ice County Heaven. It can be said that this is the big man in the forging industry.
"No kidding, ordinary things don't make me ...... Prosper...... Fun" abruptly stopped, and Changguang looked at the claws in Otto's hand with a shocked expression.
"This claw, this hardness, and this sharpness, it's ...... Ahaha" Changguang, who snatched the paw from Otto's hand with a fast movement, shouted excitedly, and did he still drool to reveal a stupid face.
"I said your sexual hobbies are a little peculiar."
"You know what? Forging excellent works is the long-cherished wish of every swordsmith."
Otto looked at each other with a stupid expression, and labeled each other multiple times in his heart.
"There's no place on my ship for you to craft weapons"
"It's okay, it's my house not far ahead" Changguang didn't pay attention at all, pointing to a small black dot not far away.
ββββββββββ Dividing Lineββββββββββ
It didn't take much effort for Otto to arrive at the home that Changguang had said.
Looking at this one-room house, where he worked and slept in the same place, Otto felt a little speechless.
"I said, wouldn't it be hot for you to sleep here in the summer?"
"Ah, how do you know? Why is that? Nagako looked frightened, and quickly jumped two meters away from Otto.
When Otto was about to go in and watch, he was left out......
"My craft is not passed on" Changguang clasped his hands to his chest, obviously looking up but had to pose as if he was looking down.
"Okay, okay," Otto shrugged, and then stood outside in amusement.
"Well, I forgot to ask her how much time she would need." Otto rubbed his head, he didn't have time to waste now.
After an aimless afternoon, the door finally opened just as Otto was about to say goodbye.
Changguang walked out with a big knife, but he was really unhappy looking at her expression.
"Okay? So fast? β
"Well, it doesn't take much work on my part at all, and the claws themselves are sharper than I imagined......"
"What, you're not happy? Obviously made a good knife. β
"You know what? This kind of achievement that relies on materials does not reflect my skills at all," Changguang was a little excited.
"Obviously, you were the one who said you were looking for special materials."
Changguang "......"
"I can't talk to you more than three sentences"
Giving the knife man to Otto, Changguang turned around and was about to go back to the house.
"I heard you're interested in a certain Honkai beast in the forest," Otto said, leaning his arm on his back, seemingly nonchalant.
"Come on, that's not something you can solve." The girl seemed to be interested, and she did it to Otto's side.
ββ¦β¦ So what? Otto didn't speak, but opened the black suitcase he had been carrying.
The open chest was like some kind of trigger rate mechanism, it turned into a black liquid and wriggled, and when it covered Otto's body, it was a tattered suit.
"It's ...... Never-before-seen technology ......"
"I'm going to find time to fix it, can you help?"
