Chapter 12: Thor's Blacksmith
After eating, everyone assigned the number of people to keep vigil, the wilderness of the Faren Continent is always dangerous, whether it is the wilderness of poor mountains and bad waters, or the forest with shady trees, whether it is a sunny day or a moonlit night, there may be unknown dangers waiting for you. There are no less than tens of thousands of people dying in the wilderness every day on the Faren Continent, including rookies who are fledgling and veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time. Therefore, adventurers must be extra cautious at all times when they are far away from civilization.
However, it may be due to the delicious food that Acoster made for everyone at night, and there is no one on the list of tonight's shift vigil. Acoste set up his tent and went in with his sister in his arms, and the little one went out for the first time, and after a day of bumps he looked tired, and lay down on the blanket and fell asleep after a while.
After a night of nothing, the next day everyone got up and neatly packed up the equipment in the camp, and the group waded across the karst lake and entered the sphere of influence of Baldur's Gate. As the façade city of the Syl Hatland region, Baldur's Gate is naturally the largest of all the large and small territories. And Baldur's Gate adopts a parliamentary system, there is no supreme leader in the city, but the city is governed by a council composed of 5 dukes, every time Baldur's Gate wants to pass a decision must be decided by the vote of the parliament, this mutual elbow and democratic system has also made Baldur's Gate has always been in a neutral position, has not become a duke's personal weapon, and has hardly expanded to the outside in the past hundred years.
Acoste and his party crossed a muddy road, a trade route created by humans decades ago, and the road was very muddy, but the pedestrians on it did not complain in the slightest. It is not easy to open up a safe trade route on the continent of Faeron for a long time, you first have to carve a path in the wilderness that can be walked by people, and you have to exterminate the creatures that live in the vicinity, and use blood and war to show other species that this is human territory. Only Baldur's Gate is capable of doing this kind of thing in this land, and other minor nobles may not even be able to accomplish this at all.
At noon, Acoste and they came to the town of Belgost, a high wooden wall was built on the periphery of this town, and there were guards on duty at the gate all year round, and they saw Acoste and his party and told them not to cause trouble and let them in, the inventory in this era is generally very relaxed, especially for those adventurers, even if it is a little larger city, you can easily enter the city as long as you stuff a few silver coins into the guards.
"We went to spend the night at the Joker and Entertainer Tavern in town, where the owner had been with me in an adventure party when I was younger, and I was friends with him. Four days later in the morning we met at the east gate of the town and headed to Baldur's Gate. After Aktuyaf's disappearance and Hancock's death, Livingston took on the role of leader of the team, and after informing everyone of the next itinerary, he led everyone to the tavern. After everyone arranged the accommodation, they were disbanded, and ninety percent of the warriors stayed in the lobby and drank the wine, Yacoste could only shake his head at this, he took his sister to his room to put his luggage and left the tavern, because before he came, he heard that there was a place called Thor Blacksmith in this town, and the blacksmith Lethor was already a master blacksmith, and Yacoste always wanted to have two better weapons, which was not only the dream of every warrior, but also related to his own life.
Thor's blacksmith shop is not difficult to find, due to its great fame, almost no one in the local area does not know the location of the blacksmith shop, Yacoste found the destination after a little inquiry, came to the door of the blacksmith shop, Yacoste knocked politely on the door, and then heard a heavy voice inviting in.
Acoste led Lavis to push the door in, just opened the door, a fiery breath came out of the door, so he didn't want to push out half of his body in Acoste, Yacoste had no choice but to walk in after the air inside and outside the house was a little clearer, he didn't care about himself, but he was afraid that Lavis couldn't stand this environment.
After entering the door, Acoste saw a burly middle-aged man with a hammer pounding a sword embryo, and after each three beatings, he put it into the iron furnace to roast it again, and then pulled out the other side and hammered it three times again. Next to him were two apprentices controlling the temperature inside the furnace. Seeing this, Acoste couldn't bother people, so he had to find a stool and sit down and wait.
Half an hour later, with the last blow, an ordinary standard longsword was half finished, Torrell picked up the half-finished product and looked at it, and threw it into a basin of cold water to let the iron sword condense, after which only the longsword was cut with a whetstone, and the weapon was finished.
"You're here to buy weapons, or custom weapons." Torrell took a towel from one of the apprentices, wiped the sweat from his body, and walked over to talk to Acoste about business.
"That's right, I want you to help me build two long swords, if it's an enchanted weapon, then it's best [Item Grade Sealed, Damaged, Normal, Magical, Extraordinary, Legendary, Epic, Demigod, Artifact and Ancient Artifact]." Yacoste said his purpose, but he was not very confident, not for anything else, because he didn't have so much money on him.
"Really? Custom magic weapons, I can only make weapons with fire damage and ice damage for you now, you have to know that I am not a mage, and I have not studied alchemy, and there is only one flame magic stone and ice magic stone in the blacksmith shop now, even if I smelt it into it, the effect made by it cannot be as good as the effect of special mage enchantment, even if this is the case, do you have to build it? Torrell bluntly explained the pros and cons, found another stool, and sat down like this, and the old god drank from it.
"Of course, the mages who can permanently enchant are all mages above level 10, and these mages are not very common, and even if I see them, I don't think I can afford them." Acoste still firmly chose to let Torrell work, although he himself had not seen a few spellcasters since he was born, but he had a deep understanding of the strange temper of the casters in that memory.
"Okay, make a deposit of 100 gold coins, and pay another 100 gold coins after the deed is completed." Torrell saw that the other party had no doubts, the big hand was ready to start asking for money, and after taking the money, he could go to work, you must know that ordinary blacksmiths actually don't make a few dollars a year by making ordinary tools, and they rely on these high-grade armor and weapons when they make the most money.
"This, I don't have that much money right now, can you let me do something for you, I will definitely be able to help you do it." The embarrassing question came, Yacoste scratched his head and said embarrassedly, in the past, a few gold coins were enough for him and his sister to eat and drink for a year, but now it costs two hundred gold coins to get equipment from the moving shaft, which makes Yacoste deeply realize that the social class span is so large. After speaking, he was afraid that Torrell would not believe it, so he casually picked up a teacup from the table and threw it in the air, only to hear two "swish" and "swish" sounds, Acoste pulled out the long sword on his waist and drew two cold light sheaths in mid-air, and the teacup also became a neat four pieces in mid-air.
"Good skills." Torrell couldn't help but applaud after seeing Acoste's hand, although he is not a warrior himself, but he is not a layman who specializes in creating weapons for high-end warriors, in front of him just Acoste's hand, he knew that the other party must have mastered it, dual-wielding weapons and long swords are proficient in these two skills, otherwise it is impossible to cut out four neat pieces whether it is uncoordinated with the left and right hands or a bad grasp of the long sword, "Since you say so, then I will give you a task, at the trade road on the right outside the town of Belgoust, Recently, there has been a sudden swarm of digging insects, you just need to kill one of them and bring their corpses to me, and I can help you build weapons, and secondly, there are not many heads, I will collect one for two hundred gold coins, you see how this goes. ”
"Okay, deal!" Acoste glanced at Lavis and agreed to Torrell's request.
