On this trip to the north, Ke Yaen had long planned to visit Master Forge Mo Tiehe and ask him to forge a cuirass. To this end, he spent countless energy and financial resources to make adequate preparations.
Confidently, he asked the servant to bring in a barrel from the carriage outside. As he went, the sound of clanging water came from the barrel, which made Master Forging Mo a little interested.
"Wine?"
"You guessed it." Co Yaen himself took a crowbar and pried open the lid of the barrel that had been nailed tightly. A smell of wine that was so strong that it could not be dissolved suddenly diffused in the hall.
Xie Ouna, who was not drinking well, even frowned slightly, choking on the sudden increase in alcohol concentration in the air, and coughed twice.
"What a strong wine!" Shellaya exclaimed.
"Of course, my Miss Ranger." Co Yaen grinned at Shella, revealing a mouth full of white teeth, and the smile was too bright to look at. In a magnetic voice, he said, "Dwarves are good wine, especially spirits. In order to satisfy Master Forging Mo, I specially sent someone deep into the cold and remote Orlandos. The barbarians' winemaking skills were not as sophisticated as those of the Empire, but they were also unique. ”
Forging Mo sniffled, walked over to the barrel, stretched out his fingers thicker than carrots, dipped a little golden wine, and put it in his mouth. He smacked his tongue and smiled satisfactorily, "This is the 'Glory of Ormag' of Orlandos, a liquor that only the most well-versed shaman of the tribe can brew." In addition to sacrificing to the gods, only barbarian warriors who cut off fifty of their enemy's ears were eligible to enjoy it. ”
"Your knowledge of alcohol is admirable." Ke Yane laughed.
Forging Mo waved his hand and said, "No need to be verbose. I have accepted this barrel of wine, and I will follow your commission. After a day, come and get your breastplate. ”
"One day?" Ke Yaen was stunned.
After receiving the commission, Forge Mo Tiehe will spend varying amounts of time building equipment for the client. The length of time spent is related to the preciousness of the reward. Obviously, the barrel of precious wine that Ke Yaen had spent a lot of effort to obtain was nothing in the eyes of Master Forging Mo.
"One day is enough, are you questioning my abilities?" Master Forging Mo glared at Ke Yaen fiercely.
Although his heart was as disgusting as swallowing a scavenging worm, Ke Yane didn't dare to say anything and obediently stepped aside.
"What about a day? At least Master Forging Mo did take my commission," he looked at Gordon with bad intentions, "Maybe this guy will be rejected by Master Forging Mo." ”
He did what he liked, bringing the dwarves' favorite liquor for Master Forging Mo, but he still had to spend a day building equipment for Master Forging Mo. Coyarne didn't believe Gordon could outdo him.
Could it be that these poor, unseen Northerners can outperform the rich Gribrace family?
Gordon saw that after Ke Yaen finished his business, he did not leave, but stood aside with a smile that seemed to be not a smile, and he probably guessed the other party's thoughts.
"I'm afraid this knight is going to be disappointed." Gordon was confident.
Xie Ona was a little worried: "Brother, what do you have that can make Master Forging Mo tempted?" You know, you're going to have him build two pieces of gear. Otherwise, I'll talk about my sword later......"
"My dear sister, you should have faith in me." With a mysterious smile, Gordon took out a black box from the dimensional pouch and handed it to Forging Mo.
"Hmph, so it's a mystery!" Ke Yan, who was observing not far away, pursed his lips disdainfully. It was just the cheapest pine box, and even the paint on it was improvised and rushed. What good things can be contained in such a rag?
Forging Mo opened the box, took out a delicate metal object that shimmered with silver light, looked at it, and asked, "What is this?" ”
"It's a measuring tool called a vernier caliper," Gordon says. ”
Gordon is a mechanical graduate. Although in his time, the measuring tools used by Golden in his work and study were all high-tech products embedded with intelligent chips, in the elective course "History of Measuring Tools", Golden still came into contact with vernier calipers, a multi-functional measuring tool with a long history.
Forging Mo is not only a blacksmith, but also has considerable attainments in mechanics. But in this world where mechanical civilization is very backward, measuring tools are quite rudimentary. It caused a lot of trouble for Forging Mo. Gordon believes that something like a vernier caliper is definitely the greatest desire in Forging Mo's heart.
In plain language, Gordon uses vernier calipers to measure length, depth, inner diameter, outer diameter, and how to read them.
Under Gordon's explanation, Forging Mo's expression was first confused, then abrupt, and finally turned into ecstasy!
He threw away the box and rushed to Gordon, wrapping his arms around Gordon's waist with his arms thicker than his thighs—he was actually holding Gordon's ass due to his height, much to the mage's embarrassment.
"Fortunately, I had the foresight to apply a bear patience to myself before I came, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to withstand the fierce grip of this dwarven master."
The two girls and Ke Yann looked at the metal object in Forging Mo's hand, and they didn't know why, and they didn't know why this dwarven master, who was arrogant a moment ago, became ecstatic.
"O rocks! O Moradin! There is such an ingenious and practical measuring tool in the world! Forging Mo finally let go of Gordon, but he still danced and kept talking, "Mr. Gordon, I declare that you will be a distinguished guest of the Iron River tribe, an eternal friend of the mountains and rocks!" ”
Seeing Forging Mo's excited appearance, Shelleya asked in a low voice, "Mr. Gordon, this tool you made should be very precious." ”
"Fortunately, at least the cost value is far less than that of Mr. Coyarne's cask."
Gordon is telling the truth. In addition to the high-quality steel used as a raw material, Gordon's cost is only a few Zero Ring Mage's hands and a ring of spell casting materials for the Change-based spell "Manipulating Metal". And because the mage's control of mental power is much stronger than that of muscles, the vernier caliper made by Gordon in this method has fully met the requirements in terms of measurement accuracy.
"My brother," Forging Mo jumped up and patted Gordon on the shoulder, smiling, "you don't have to be humble. How could such an ingenious tool be worth less than that barrel of bad wine? Say, if you have any requirements, I will definitely meet them. ”
"I need to make a shield and a one-handed sword."
"No problem, I'll build it for you in seven days." Forging Mo slapped his chest loudly.
The word "bad wine" in Forging Mo's mouth made Ke Yan's face extremely ugly. Compared to the time spent on forging Mo's equipment on both sides, he felt a sense of frustration. Corian glanced at Shella, who was now standing beside Gordon, looking at the mage with reverence. The knight was pantothenic in his heart, secretly cursed a "fickle bitch", and then left the hall without saying a word.
came with a beautiful female companion, but left abruptly. This kind of encounter is the first time for Ke Yan, who has never lacked women. Ke Yaen wanted to tear off the personable knight's disguise, directly pull out his sword and kill Gordon, and then next to his corpse, he violated Sheona and Shellaya to his heart's content.
But reason told Sù Coyan that he could not do that. He came to the north to shoulder an important mission, which is related to the rise and fall of an empire, and whether the Gribrace family can soar into the sky, so we must be cautious in our behavior.
He walked out of the blacksmith's workshop with a gloomy face, and a servant came leading his horse.
"Young Master, just now the patriarch of the Ritter family, Mr. Honorary Sir Longer Ritter, brought news, please go and get together. He said that the harvest festival is approaching, and the details of the operation need to be discussed again. ”
"Sir's honorary sir, he's just a thug," a contemptuous smile flowed from the corner of Koyan's mouth, "but as the dogs of the Gribrace family, they also have their own value. ”
In the halls of the blacksmith's workshop, no one noticed Koyan's departure. Gordon is explaining the specific requirements for activating the shield to Forge Mo: "The material of the shield is mainly Mithril, and a small amount of pure gold is used to strengthen the skin and overall structure. Medium size is sufficient, and in addition, I need to make a gap in the shield like a battlement. That way, even if the shield is in front of me, it won't affect my vision......"
Forging Mo carefully wrote down Gordon's request, and looked at Xie Ona with a smile on his face: "This very, very very beautiful young lady, please come with me." ”
For dwarves who lack vocabulary, they can only describe the beauty of women in the form of superimposed adverbs.
Unlike Gordon's activated shield, the longsword tailored for Xie Ona must be particularly particular in terms of weight, length, arc, and counterweight. For a master like Forging Mo, the perfect fit between the weapon and the user is the most basic requirement. So he had to let Xie Ona try out the different swords first, listen to the opinions, make modifications, and finally decide to build a plan.
Shellreya looked at her friend enviously. Sheona was able to possess a sword that Master Forging Mo Tiehe had made for her, while her longbow was only a large road item bought from a weapons shop—even so, she took care of it and regarded it as a treasure.
Shellaya is still young, her strength is on the rise, and the half-elves live longer than humans. But she knew that a female adventurer like herself, who had no foundation, would have a miserable future if she didn't plan well while she was young.
Female adventurers who are at the bottom and have a hard time because of their injuries or age will even sell their bodies to earn money.
The thought that she might be in such a situation in the future shuddered.
Shellaya knew how attractive her body and looks were to men. There has always been no shortage of suitors around her, and there are also wealthy aristocrats like Ke Yane, but she has never responded.
But now, when she saw Sheona's smiling face full of excitement and happiness, she felt that she should change.
"Perhaps, he is a good choice." Shellaya looked at Gordon's back, her eyes shining.
