Miners' Town is located in Tempest County, on the northern border of the Tulip Principality, with a population of about 2,000 people, but because of the abundance of good-quality iron ore, the floating population is even closer to more than 5,000 people.

A large number of iron ingots and iron products, which had only been coarsely refined and processed, were quickly transported by merchants in horse-drawn carriages to Black Lake City, which belonged to Minerstown, where many cargo ships were neatly lined up, waiting for the arrival of goods.

You know, the minerstown brought significant economic and military support to the entire Purple Tulip Principality.

Fifty percent of the Purple Tulip Principality's standard weapons and armor, and eighty percent of the iron products are from the miner's town of Tempest County, but because of its proximity to the border, it has added an important surname to the Purple Tulip Principality.

After all, a place like Miner's Town, which is rich in good-quality iron ore, is not even a few Purple Tulip Principalities, and Tempest County is also an important metallurgical base of great strategic significance.

Iron is a resource that people say is always necessary, whether it is a small iron nail or a sharp two-handed sword, this kind of thing is needed to build.

It is said that the ordinary life depends on this thing to stabilize, and the army that keeps the whole principality from attack and aggression, and shows the strength and muscle of the country, must also be fully armed with the excellent weapons and armor made of this thing.

As the sun rises in the morning, the power of the sun god begins to be revealed, radiating endless light that illuminates the vast land to show his unique majesty and love.

"When-when-when-when-"

The first rays of sunlight always shine on the top of the Church of the God of Light, which also symbolizes the arrival of the morning belonging to the miners' town, and the developed blacksmith industry of the entire miners' town has also begun to rotate every day.

And the residents of the entire miners' town, with the sound of the iron, opened their sleepy eyes that still had dreams left, got up and washed, and began to be busy with the next day's work.

"Yo, little Hawk, you're up so early."

Daddy Jordan rubbed his eyes and opened his blacksmith shop, only to find a thin figure standing beside the stove, holding a hammer almost the size of his arm, tapping rhythmically.

"Of course, Daddy Jordan."

Hearing the voice behind him, the thin figure stopped the tapping in his hand, wiped the sweat on his face, and took off the linen shirt on his upper body. ”

"Oh, oh, I think it's my little Hawke who has grown up."

Shaking his head slightly, he had a relieved smile on his face, this was his eldest son who was only thirteen years old, and it was one of his pride: "What do you want to eat?" Daddy Jordan smiled and asked, "Would you like some broth?" ”

"Add some brown bread to soak in it, it's a supreme delicacy!"

Hawke shrugged and smiled in response, "Of course, as long as it's made by Jordan's father, it's definitely the most delicious!" As he spoke, he raised the hammer in his hand as if to firm his tone and said, "Absolutely delicious!" ”

"Oh, what my precious son!"

Daddy Jordan smiled and nodded, glanced at the open windows and skylights in the blacksmith shop, touched the beard on his chin with relief, and walked out to prepare breakfast.

As the only adult in the family, he had become accustomed to being a father and a mother, just like the blacksmith skills he had mastered in the miners' town, and even the level of cooking of things could be compared to that of the aunts.

"The sword embryo has been built, and after the final quenching, it can basically be completed by 90 percent."

Hawke turned his head to look at the closed wooden door, then picked up the long strip of iron embryo that he had beaten before with an iron clip, looked at it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction: "Sure enough, with the game to cross over, even if it is easy to practice a blacksmith." ”

Yes, as a time-traveler, little Hawk has been in this world for thirteen years, and the benefit of being a time-traveler is precisely from the game "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" from the previous life.

Especially in the entire upgrade system of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", there is also the main skill of "forging", which is more like a god-given benefit for Hawke, a veteran player in his previous life!

Up to now, although Hawk has only been building for less than a year, due to the special rules of the game system, the level of craftsmanship is even comparable to those blacksmiths who have just graduated!

What's more, he has already pointed out the first-level "steel" talent of "forging", once the talent takes effect, the weapon he creates can instantly become a high-quality steel weapon that can only be made by a senior blacksmith!

- Steel Armament (1/5): Increases the chance of forging high-quality steel weapons and armor by 20%, and strengthens this talent, doubling the effect.

And the moment Hawke took over the hammer from Daddy Jordan, he already had a lot of fame around here, even those mercenaries sometimes like to come to their little shop to buy weapons!

Not only is Jordan's father already famous for his excellent craftsmanship, but even the ordinary iron weapons created by Hawke are honestly decent, and they are completely beyond the ordinary blacksmith apprentice, almost the same as a blacksmith who has been fighting iron for five years!

What's more, the game's 20% chance of crafting high-quality steel weapons and armor highlights Hawke's level of crafting, after all, people value the result, not the process.

"As long as it's built successfully, then it's time to upgrade."

Seeing that the sword embryo in the carbon furnace had turned golden because of the blazing fire, Hawke couldn't help but nodded, this was a specially built infantry dagger, this weapon was very popular with the group of mercenaries, so it sold well.

With his left hand, he used an iron clip to clamp the long blade that had turned golden brown and emitted a long strip of red-hot coal with coal, and Hawk gently placed it on the stage, while his right hand had already grasped the hammer.

"When-when-when-when-when-when-"

The hammer was swinging rhythmically up and down, and Hawk's little face was solemn, even the sweat on his forehead was ignored, and his right arm was just forced, coordinating the strength of his entire body, and quickly striking the golden sword embryo.

The sword embryo, which was softened by the heat, changed with the hammer, and each time it began to change slightly, especially under Hawke's special control, the appearance of an infantry short sword began to condense completely.

Looking at the infantry short sword that had been basically formed in his hand, a glimmer of light flashed in Hawke's eyes, but his entire right arm was still rapidly building the still golden fiery sword embryo, and he continued to beat.

"Last Moment"

However, with the last time he raised his right arm, a certain power instantly surged from the depths of Hawke's soul, and with the hammer that was knocked down, it instantly reverberated throughout his right arm and hand, and even passed along the hammer to the sword embryo.

"When—"

A heavy knocking sound suddenly spread throughout the blacksmith shop, and Hawk ignored the sweat on his face, and suddenly showed an ecstatic smile: "There is actually a special effect for creating weapons!" ”

This was something he already knew, and the twenty percent chance of being in Hawke's nearly a year of striking iron, although it was not a common special effect, it was not uncommon.

However, it is not visible now, although this can already be regarded as a completed infantry dagger, but according to the rules of this real world, it still needs to go through the last quenching, as well as the installation of the handle and the sharpening of the blade, before it can become a real infantry dagger.

After all, after crossing over, it is already a real world, and it is absolutely impossible to become a finished sword after it is directly built like in the game.

"Whew-"

Hawke picked up the still hot golden sword embryo and went to a nearby bucket containing a cloudy liquid, and the whole clamp was lowered, and the violent mist accompanied by some kind of pungent scratching smell suddenly filled the entire blacksmith's shop.

"Oh, I hate this."

Hawke frowned tightly and covered his nose with his hand, although quenching with urine could improve some of the quality, as a new blacksmith, it was still difficult to tolerate the taste after being amplified by high temperatures and water molecules.

Fortunately, in order to prevent the large amount of carbon dioxide produced by the burning of the blacksmith furnace, at least six large windows were opened on all sides of the blacksmith shop, and in addition to the towering chimney, there were three open skylights on the ceiling, which had a good air dispersion effect.

"When this infantry dagger is finished, it can finally be upgraded."

Spiritual power instantly communicated with the game system in his mind, and countless stars instantly appeared on Hawke's retina, but except for a few that bloomed brightly, most of them were dim.

This is the talent tree from within the game, and it is also the absolute benefit of Hawke coming to this place, and it is the foundation of his life in this world.

"Level 1, the real world is really too difficult to upgrade."

Sighing slightly, Hawke stared at the experience bar that was basically full, although it was only one level of upgrade, but it could only gain experience through a few means, and the progress was still quite slow.

Even a year before he came to this world, he only discovered his own benefit as a traverser, but even so, even if he tried everything and took nearly a year of the world, he was about to succeed in upgrading to the first level.

What's more, what makes him even more entangled is that in the previous life, the character construction was at the first level, and now although there is one more freely allocated talent points, he has to start from level zero.

"There are no enemies and other skills to arrange, it's really embarrassing."

Hawk shook his head lightly and dispersed the game talent interface, if it was in the game world of the previous life, let alone using bugs to brush talents, even if there is a console, just enter some code to cheat can directly all the top.

But this world can't kill people casually, and the magicians in this world are comparable to aristocratic guys, although they have all kinds of enchantment and alchemy methods, they can level up quickly, but they are still not accessible to a civilian boy.

Even if there are all kinds of monsters in the wilderness of this world, what can he do?

He is a thirteen-year-old child, although he has simple fluctuation skills, if he really goes to this world of swords and sorcery and fights with those orcs, trolls and the like, it is simply no different from robbing a bank with a kitchen knife in his previous life!

"The three divine skills, it's just like that."

Shrugging his shoulders, Hawke still sighed with some regret, he had the three divine skills in "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", but he couldn't learn them all, he could only forge them.

Alchemy enchantment and forging support each other, the effect of one plus one plus one is not easy equal to three! The title of the Three Divine Skills is not called in vain!

If the bug after the full level of the three gods is the infinite cycle of the three gods, it is the ability to destroy the balance, and it is definitely to have a progression, to have equipment, to have a state, to have the ability to have ability!

However, the alchemists and magicians of this world are all talents that any country must encompass, and their contribution to the entire country is no less than that of the group of high-tech and technical talents in the previous life.

Moreover, the mages who live in the magic tower are also the country's high-end strike forces, which are actually the strength of several self-propelled artillery divisions and tactical and strategic missile forces!

"Forget it, it's the real world now, after all."

Hawke gently used an iron clamp to clip out the sword embryo that had turned black and brown, although it had been initially cooled, but it still contained a scorching high temperature, and put it in a corner to cool down, and after breakfast, it could be sharpened and sharpened.

And at that time, it was the moment when the real infantry dagger was successfully crafted, and it was also the time when Hawke was officially promoted to the first level, which was not worth mentioning in the previous game, but it is worth the excitement now!

"Brother, is it another short sword?"

The wooden door was slowly pushed open again, and an equally thin figure walked in, looking at the infantry dagger sword embryo that Hawke had placed in the corner of the wall to cool down, and couldn't help but show an envious look: "This is really powerful." ”

"Oh, is little Cade awake?"

Hawke turned his head, put down the iron clip in his hand, picked up the towel in the corner of the wall by the way, wiped his body roughly, put on his linen shirt, smiled and shrugged, and said, "What you need is to study, not to watch my brother strike iron here." ”

This is Hawke's younger brother, but he did not inherit the same strong body as Jordan's father, and it is even different from Hawke's identity as a traverser, his body is naturally thinner, but he is very talented in learning.

"I'll study hard!"

Little Cade nodded solemnly, although he was only twelve years old, he was already a top student in the public school in Minertown, and he was also loved by the school's headmaster, the true scholar.

You must know that the canonization of a scholar is like the canonization of knights in the principality, and without the corresponding knowledge and wisdom, it is absolutely impossible to become a true scholar.

And there is a saying that once described the unique position of a scholar like this: the king is definitely a knight, but definitely not a scholar!

"Our family depends on you, little Cade!"

Hawke enjoys the warmth of this family very much, especially as an orphan in his previous life, and he loves his Jordanian father and Cayde's little brother deeply, even if it is hard work, it is still with sweet warmth.

Gently touching Cade's chestnut hair, Hawke smiled and pushed him out of the blacksmith shop, if he and Jordan's father support the whole family now, and the future is supported by little Cade.

"Look at what to eat."

Gently closing the thin wooden door of the blacksmith's shop, Hawk glanced at the cooling infantry dagger that was being placed in the corner, and his eyes were visibly happy, he was looking forward to what would happen when it was actually finished.

Their home is a typical miners' town, derived from the coarse slag that can be found everywhere on the outskirts of the miners' town, and a wall more than half a meter high has been built around the half-wooden, half-stone main house, as well as the blacksmith shop, warehouse, and utility store.

Since Tempest County is a barren area, Ore Town is not a good place for crops to grow, and the wider courtyard is only a pile of dirt, and some more durable potatoes and pumpkins are planted.

"Oh, behold, two of my proudest sons are coming to their Jordan daddy!"

Holding a pot of steaming broth in his hand, Daddy Jordan couldn't help but smile and squint his eyes, he put the broth on the table behind him, picked up a wooden spoon and knocked on the edge, and said with a smile: "Come and try Daddy's craftsmanship!" ”

The broth smelled strong, and it smelled pretty good with potatoes and cabbage, and the brown bread that had just been bought from the bakery had a certain toasted smell of barley.

"And baked potatoes, one boiled egg per person!"

Neatly found a wooden bowl for Hawke and Cade to fill the broth, and Daddy Jordan brought out a tray in the kitchen with roasted golden potatoes, boiled eggs that had not yet been peeled, and of course, his own half-bottle of ale.

Daddy Jordan's family is a well-known blacksmith compared to most of the residents of Minertown, and since Hawke can also read, their family is much more relaxed.

At least they can drink broth every day, and occasionally buy a piece of soft white bread to taste, and look forward to the beautiful aristocratic life that they have never enjoyed.

"Oh, what a sumptuous day!"

Hawke couldn't help but shrug and smile at little Cade with a longing on his face, stood up and reached out to take the tray, put it on his side, and then assigned it to the two of them, and couldn't help but look up and ask, "Is it important?" ”

Little Cade, who was about to secretly take a sip of broth, also gently put down his wooden spoon, stuck out his tongue at Hawke, and looked at Jordan's father expectantly.

"Of course, today is the day when little Hawke reports to the militia."

Daddy Jordan smiled and divided the black bread between the two, then knocked his wooden bowl with a spoon, looked at Hawke's surprised face, and couldn't help but shrug and laugh: "You can't even forget this, right?" It's a tradition in our miners' town! ”

Hawke was slightly stunned, he had been busy building that infantry short sword recently, he had indeed forgotten about it, he couldn't help but touch the back of his head in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Didn't you report at one o'clock in the afternoon, it's still early." ”

Black Lake City, to which Miner Town belongs, was originally the military base of Tempest County in the north of the Purple Tulip Principality, and in peacetime in order to resist the invasion of those robbers and horse bandits in the north, as well as various foreign tribes, there is a militia with a semi-official surname.

Although it is not possible to take the initiative to attack, archers, spearmen, sword and shield infantry and other configurations are readily available, and they are used to defend the vicinity of Minerstown, which is absolutely no problem.

And the folk customs of Miner Town are relatively strong, as long as they don't go to the mine to mine ore, they will take some time to train the militia, and when it comes to temporary recruitment, they will be excellent militiamen who take weapons to fight!

In particular, the young boys of Miner's Town must undergo a year of formal military education from the age of thirteen to learn various combat techniques and basic command science.

"Oh, yes, it's only half past six."

Jordan's father looked up at the table clock in the corner, but the time displayed by the hands on it made him stunned, looked at the sky outside, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly: "I'm just too anxious!" ”

He reached for the knife, gently parted the long strips of black bread, cut them into slices, and then handed them to Hawke and little Cade, shrugged and said, "Then let's have dinner." ”

But they did not begin to eat, but gently placed the bread on the side of the wooden bowl, put their hands in fists in front of their chests, and closed their eyes, which was a prayer before eating.

"Great God of Light, your throne is lifted up in heaven and shines into glory on the earth, driving out darkness and evil."

The three of them closed their eyes and whispered softly, which was necessary for the daily meal, and then they opened their eyes in unison, smiled slightly, and then picked up their wooden spoons and slices of black bread, and ate them in large gulps.

This is the prayer phrase of the god of light, and as the Purple Tulip Principality, which believes in the god of light as the state religion, the people of Tempest County believe in this god, and the three of them are also believers in the god of light, just like most people.

In fact, even Hawke is the same, although he is not easy to accept faith from his previous life, but according to the division of believers in this world, he still belongs to the level of false believers.

And there is no faith in this world, it is a crazy thing, and the most terrifying thing is that after the death of those unbelievers, they will definitely be sent to hell, and on the wall of the unbelievers, they will be burned by the flames of hell worse than death!

It was simply miserable, even if he thought about it, Hawke felt cold sweat all over!

You must know that this is a world where there are real gods, and a big city can be wiped out with the touch of a finger, but it is not the kind of technologically advanced in the previous life, and there is no individual who is too powerful beyond the strength!
