Chapter 136: Please Don't Praise Me for Being Short
After a little tidying up, Yi Hui, who had purchased a large amount of supplies, took three dwarves including Telton and a complete set of forging tools to drive the Bolt to the mining area. Due to the limited space of the Bolt and the fact that the three dwarves are as stout as bears, they cannot ride the Bolt together because they simply cannot be plugged in. Yi Hui specially matched each of the three of Telton with a pony as a means of transportation in the market.
When he was forging hammers with round heads, Yi Hui had already seen Telton's craft. At the request of Firebeard, Telton perfectly forged a pile of iron ingots into a standard standard longsword in less than a moment in front of Yi Hui, although there was no enchantment and no fine grinding, but according to the standard words, in Firebeard's words: "You can already be a teacher." ”
The forging skills mastered by Telton and the other two dwarves are just as Yi Hui has reached the level of a fifth-level thief, they have learned all the blacksmith skills including smelting, forging, grinding, and so on in the blacksmith apprenticeship stage, and have reached the standard of professional level in various indicators, which can be regarded as having completed the teaching of blacksmith skills, and after they handed over their apprenticeship works in front of Firebeard, Firebeard issued them a certificate of junior blacksmith and issued a forging hammer representing honor.
"Firebeard is really a real person, I just asked for a blacksmith apprentice, but he introduced me to a few junior blacksmiths, it's really my honor to have the help of a few of your excellent blacksmiths." Yi Hui drove the Bolt and said to Telton, who was riding on a low horse......
Tellon straightened his chest on the pony and said proudly, "Of course, our Blacksmiths are good!" Let me also tell you that it is impossible for a blacksmith apprentice to be sent out to run a blacksmith's workshop alone, as has always been the case with dwarves. ”
"Oh, I see." Only then did Yi Hui know why Firebeard would send a junior blacksmith to help him. In fact, such a rule is quite good, the tradition of the dwarves makes it impossible for the blacksmiths sent out to be in charge of their own work not to forge inferior primary products, which not only ensures that the prestige of the dwarves in forging will not be reduced, but also ensures that the dwarves can pass on the complete blacksmith technology system without deviation.
Although a dwarven blacksmith may have different ideas and emphases in forging in his future growth and experience, after completing all the apprenticeship studies, it is completely guaranteed that there will be no omissions and deviations in at least the basic knowledge when training new blacksmith heirs for the dwarf race.
Firebeard sent Telton out for the purpose of cultivation, and there was nothing better than allowing a dwarf to keep forging in a place with a lot of iron ore to improve the level of blacksmithing, and Yi Hui offered to bear all the ore consumption, and the product was also split in half. The fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and of course the first consideration of Firebeard is his nephew Telton.
As for how high Telton can reach in terms of blacksmith skills in Yi Hui's ore pile, it all depends on his skill proficiency and understanding of forging.
A sharpshooter is made from arrowheads, and a clever blacksmith is certainly made from iron ore.
Due to the limited speed of the ponies, and the need for a short break on the way, Yi Hui's journey to the Greeneye Swamp was also a little slower. But when it comes to the Greeneye Swamp, everything is not a problem.
While the Bolt can't squeeze many dwarves, the assault boat can. Yi Hui took Telton and the other three dwarves to the assault boat, rode the wind and waves along the waterway of the Green-Eye Swamp, and after half a month's driving, finally crossed the Green-Eye Swamp to the Broken Sword Mountain Range.
When you reach the Broken Sword Mountains, you have basically arrived at the bolt mining area.
It was not all smooth sailing in the waterways of the Green-Eyed Swamp, and beasts such as pythons would often come out to disturb Yi Hui and the others, and when Yi Hui just wanted to leave the driving position to deal with it, he found that the dwarves were faster than him.
These dwarves took out the forging hammer like a small grinding disc one by one and rushed up wildly, facing the python is a mess, with the ups and downs of the forging hammer, the python was smashed in less than a moment The flesh and blood were blurred and deeply trapped in the mud, I am afraid that it will not be able to pick it out.
The forging hammer, which can be flattened with iron ingots, is smashed on the bodies of these pythons, and the destructive power can be imagined. It is no wonder that dwarves are not only excellent blacksmiths, but also excellent warriors, and when these dwarves wear heavy armor and carry shields and hammers, they can sweep almost the entire continent if they have such an army.
Unfortunately, the fertility rate of dwarves is not very high, and they are not as keen on breeding offspring as humans, and it is estimated that there are millions of dwarves on the entire continent. And the human population has almost exceeded the number of hundreds of millions. However, a healthy dwarf usually lives to be about 800 years old, and the long life span can finally make up for the lack of numbers.
Looking at the python that was smashed deep into the mud, Yi Hui could only shake his head and sigh while using the soul guide lamp to collect his soul to Hindgar and Wangcai to add food, "It's really miserable...... I never want to fight a dwarf. Yi Hui thought.
Finally arrived at the bolt mining area, on the high tower at the sentry post at the gate of the mining area, the post of the bolt family had found the trace of the bolt number from a distance, he quickly rang the bell and loudly informed the other gnomes in the mining area: "The bolt is back!" Master Yi Hui is back! ”
The news of Yi Hui's return was spread by the dwarfs by word of mouth, and all the way to the ears of Jirji, who was presiding over the planning and construction of the mining area. Due to the addition of the Rivet family last month, the Bolt Mining District needs to build a large number of residences for the Rivet family to live in, and during this time, Gilji is very busy, and when he heard the news of Yi Hui's return, he jumped three feet high happily, threw the blueprint at will and rushed directly to the entrance of the mine to greet him.
As Gilji went to the gate of the mining area to greet Huck, Huck had reached a fanatic level of worship for Yi Hui, and under the concept provided by Yi Hui, Huck relied on his extraordinary mechanical talent and hard work to make a relatively small prototype of the helicopter proposed by Yi Hui. Due to the fact that the strength of the metal material is not up to standard, the prototype made by Huck is only half a meter square, and it cannot be ridden at all, and it will be able to levitate, so Huck who has worked hard to get here only realizes this theory, but does not realize the function of carrying people. But this is also a big step forward in the development of mechanical technology, and Huck can't wait to tell Yi Hui the good news.
"Oh, this is what Yi Hui is talking about...... "Telton looked around the mining area, sniffled and said: "Oh, I can clearly smell the strong smell of metal in this mining area, the smell of fishy sweet iron ore, my hands are starting to itch again, when can we start forging?" Hurry up and build the stove! Bellows up! Blacksmith's shed prop up! ”
The other two dwarves were also excited, beating their chests with great energy.
Yi Hui looked at the energetic dwarves and felt sincerely happy in his heart, he smiled and said to the dwarves: "Don't worry, let me first introduce you to the person in charge of this mining area, Mr. Gilji, the patriarch of the Bolt Family." ”
Telton looked at Gilji, who was thin and short, and looked weak, and said, "Yi Hui, could it be that these weak gnomes have mined such a large amount of ore?" Can you tell me it's not a joke? ”
Gilgil's originally smiling expression couldn't help but rise in anger when he heard Tylton's words, and he jumped to his feet and scolded Telton: "You are short! Your whole family is short! ”
Originally, Yi Hui was still sweating for Gilji's impulsiveness, for fear that the impulsive dwarf would take out a forging hammer and smash him flat, but he didn't expect to be scolded by Gilji as a short dwarf Telton touched the back of his head as if embarrassed and said: "Haha, thank you for the compliment, in fact, I am not short enough." ”
It turns out that, unlike the dwarfs' taboo on the word "short", dwarves take pride in the word "short", just as women will shout "Oh! Oh, my God! I'm getting fat! Then the dwarves exclaimed, "Oh God, I have grown ...... taller" with the same sorrow.
Looking at Telton's attitude, Gilgil's anger was nowhere to be released, and he lost his temper at all with this heartfelt joy that the dwarves were called short.
Yi Hui, who saw that Gilji had also "landed" from mid-air and no longer erupted, and was ready to launch rune imprisonment and withering skills to ease the conflict when the dwarves were charging angrily, finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Gilji, who calmed down, immediately focused his attention on Yi Hui's side, he patted Yi Hui's calf and said, "Master Yi Hui, you are back, many things happened during your absence, I have a lot of things to talk to you about...... Huck next to him was also eager to come up and say a few words.
Yi Hui took Gilji and walked towards the mining area and said, "Let's go back and talk slowly, this time I will stay here for a while, we can talk slowly." Oh, by the way, I'm with these friends Tylton the Blacksmith of the Dwarven Firebeard House and his two assistants, who will join the mines to smelt Dwarven steel and build production tools for everyone. ”
Tylton stretched out his big thick hand to Gilgil and said with a smile on his face: "It's a pleasure to meet you, a clever miner is undoubtedly worthy of the respect of any blacksmith, I'm Terton?" Firebeard. ”
Seeing that Telton and his party were Yi Hui's friends and came to help the bolt mining area, Gilji temporarily forgot about the unhappiness just now, and stretched out his little hand to shake Tylton, "Nice to meet you, you can call me Gilji?" Bolt. (To be continued.) )
