The tool shop is located at the junction of the central district and the northern district of the city, close to the eastern district of the city, where the population is dense and there are many people with purchasing power - to the north is the aristocratic district, and the old men with gun licenses always hope that the guys in their hands can work faster, better, and more accurately; To the east is the eastern part of the city, where civilians, all kinds of ordinary transcendents and port travelers live, and the low-level transcendents will try to buy a gun for themselves (whether or not there is a gun license, because the gun license is very strict, except for church personnel and members of the Transcendent Guild, you need to have a certain annual salary, someone to vouch for, and you also need to show proof of tax payment in recent years to get a gun license). And those who travel, such as tech hunters who have traveled deep into the Jedi to unearth various pre-epoch technologies, will arm themselves to the teeth.

And tech hunters have very high requirements for guns, as they are likely to be the only ones who have witnessed the ancient martial arts of the previous era.

Speaking of the era, Marin feels that the people of this world are also very strong, according to the records of the church, this world has entered the sixth age, that is to say, civilization has been interrupted five times, but each time the fire carrying civilization is still tenaciously illuminating the darkness after the end of the world.

The first great destruction, the time is no longer available, the record given in the book is at least 10,000 years ago (the specific year is not at all examinable), an explosion that shook the whole world, there are some desperate situations on this continent that originated from that era, it is said that people enter it, if there is no lead full body equipment, a large number of discharging magic scrolls or high ladders of transcendentals, it is impossible to survive in it (Marin thinks that all the big explosions should be nuclear bombs to wash the ground, it is said that technology hunters are wearing protective equipment, If the expulsion scroll is used daily, it can survive safely for at least four months, and at least a year must be separated between the two expeditions, judging by the half-lives of radioactive elements such as cesium, strontium, and cups, the church's record year should not be too much of a problem.)

Before the First Great Destruction was the First Age, and after that was the Second Age.

The second great destruction was the xeno-invasion, in the second millennium after the first great destruction, the xeno-invasion killed the entire world for thousands of miles, and the fire of civilization of almost all races was extinguished, but in the end, the era of the gap tide ended, the xenomorphs were banished back to the subspace, and the surviving races began to return to the surface again.

The Third Apocalypse, a thousand years after the Second Apocalypse, caused untold damage to the cold snap that swept the entire world, and wiped out some of the northern races as a whole, even the northern dwarves died once - only one group of artisans hired by humans survived, and they became the common ancestors of the northern dwarves who followed.

The fourth great destruction is the third millennium after the third great destruction, a civil war in the millennium empire once again opened the gap in the subspace, human beings suffered heavy losses in this destruction, and some families that have been inherited since the first great destruction have been destroyed, but this time the human race blocked the attack from the chaotic xenomorphs, but because the losses were too great, they had to choose to shrink, a large amount of land was abandoned, and civilization began to regress, until today, some wild areas can still find the ruins of the towns of the fourth age.

The Fifth Great Destruction, from the regression of civilization after the Fourth Great Apocalypse, did not contain this decline until a hundred years ago, during this time, the historical records of various races are regretted, in the Fourth Age, all races have developed a civilization far higher than now, but after a xenomorph invasion, because of the loss of too many people, many technologies have even been broken, such as the collection of the Harvest Goddess Church has some relics of the Fourth Age that are obviously firearms, and their metal composition has not been analyzed until today.

Marin took a look at it, and could only say that because the damage was so bad, he could only recognize it as a gun, and it was unclear what else was outside it.

And Xingyan's father, Qinggangshi, is a tech hunter who limped his leg from an adventure in his early years, and then he began to become a blacksmith - my knee had a date with an arrow, which was the fate of almost everyone in the Anvil family.

The reason why he would agree to be the master of Marlin's tool shop was because of some of the equipment sketches that Marlin had drawn for Star Rock.

This girl is a rare dwarven warrior monk, and the reason why she is an apprentice of the Harvest Goddess Church is also because she has a human grandmother, and she is also a devout believer in the Harvest Goddess Church.

As a warrior monk of the Church, Xingyan does not need to keep some inexplicable oaths like those warrior monk orders (for example, the warrior monks of a certain order have a special oath of keeping poverty, and their whole body cannot be equipped with any protective gear, Ma Lin feels that this order is sick in the brain, and if the initial personnel die in a few waves, are you this order ready to play the Lich Warrior Monk?). So Marlin drew beautiful and sturdy arm guards and leg guards for the girl.

After being seen by her father, she went straight to Marin, who stubbornly believed that Marin must have gained knowledge of previous eras.

And when the tool shop was preparing, Marin also decided to make the best use of it, and gave this dwarf master a bunch of tool drawings and concept drawings, the former is a practical tool that can be made casually, and the latter is like a relic dug up from the ruins, which can only be looked at.

But Uncle Qinggangshi signed a contract with Marin without saying a word after seeing the drawings - in his opinion, so many drawings represent the absolute strength of craftsmen, which is enough for him to dedicate his blacksmith skills to Marin.

So Ma Lin has recently faced the temptation from the God of War Church every once in a while, it is this uncle who has lured Ma Lin to be a craftsman all day long, he always says that the children of the frost giant just learn to strike iron are twice the result with half the effort, this strength is really a loss if you don't be a craftsman, if you can build equipment for yourself, it will definitely be the most suitable equipment for yourself.

Marin almost wanted to learn, but it was Uncle Dwarf's last words that stopped him.

"You learn from me, and I will marry my daughter Xingyan to you."

How can you learn the skills of a craftsman from you! It's too much!

So every time he came to the tool shop, Marin had to bring Faye with him, and with the half-blood elf girl here, this dwarf uncle didn't dare to make a mistake.

As for the business of the tool shop, don't look at the lack of people, but basically most of the customers are through the order channel, for example, the Tech Hunter Fort Carter Guild recently ordered a hundred heavy long barrels from the tool shop, and two hundred sets of sights - the difference between the heavy barrel on the market and the 200-meter dispersion rate of the barrel in the Marlin shop is 2 times, and the sight combination is a two-fold lens and a side-mounted notched mechanical sight, because tritium cannot be refined, Marlin uses the used fire crystal scrap stone, which is broken and polished instead of tritium as a use on the sight.

It only takes a little psionic energy to make it use overnight instead of tritium, and to be able to become a tech hunter, you can use psionic energy more or less, so this sight combination is very popular with tech hunters.

This is the first finished product of lapis from Marlin's concept art, Marlin and him split the account six or four times, the disadvantage is that the dwarf uncle has registered a patent for this thing on the dwarven craftsman's guild, and everyone can copy it, but each one needs to pay Marlin a fee worth twenty standard Movis currency.

It is said that the dwarves are very fond of this sight group, and Qinggangshi has reported several sight combinations prepared by Marin, and what awaits Marin is a happy time to collect money.

I heard that the dwarven craftsman god is also a little happy about this invention, and the dwarven craftsman god church has also been in contact with the bluesteel stone, they want to pull the bluesteel back to the dwarf kingdom, but he refused it with a contract.

This made Marin more or less confident in this uncle.

To be honest, although the elves and dwarves don't deal with each other very much, at least the uncle and Faye are still clearly right—Xingyan has been an apprentice for so many years, and keeping an account is also a simple job.

"By the way, boy, won't you invite my daughter to a dance at the campfire dance tonight?"

For the account book, Uncle Qinggangshi still doesn't seem to give up on marrying him...... No, it should have been the intention of inviting Marin to become an apprentice craftsman.

"Marin already has this dance partner for me." Faye raised her eyebrows and asserted her sovereignty in front of the dwarven uncle.

Facing the elf girl, the dwarf pursed his lips and raised his hand helplessly: "I'm going to continue working, I won't send you if you have something to do." ”

So Marlin left the tool shop with the girls, and as he was leaving, he remembered that Jessica wanted a pickaxe, so he went to the warehouse and chose one for her, and the account was written on his head.

The value of one hundred and twenty dollars, the birthday present you want, should make the werewolf girl very happy.

………………

The National Publishing House is located in the middle of the central district, which is an administrative district, and it is the safest place to be safe, and the National Publishing House is located here, which is a small three-story building.

When Marin arrived, there were still 20 minutes before the appointment time, and the three of them were going to sit in the rest area on the first floor with a cool magic circle for a while, but they didn't expect that as soon as they sat down here, someone came out with a team over there, and then a lady dressed as a secretary came over: "Is it Mr. Marin Gayat?" ”

"Yes." Marin nodded—he had only been to the National Press twice, and he hadn't met him.

"I'm Karian Lily Milton, the third secretary of Mr. President, and Mr. President is waiting for you inside." The secretary was still talking about Marin, and they saw a guy with a beaten face covered in blood being dragged down the steps by two strong men.

"Uh, that's ......" Faye frowned a little unbearably.

"This is the gentleman in front of you, he was detected to be wrong during the third interview, and the team just went to the printing house, and the book must be prevented from being printed." The secretary said with some regret: "In this world, there is another book that is destined to be unfinished." ”

But no, the author is not even afraid of his life.

Marin sighed, and then saw the author, who was being dragged away, suddenly struggle.

"I've written the best love story! Why! You're slandering me!! Shouting this, the gentleman spurted out a mouthful of blood mist, and there was no more sound.

Marin looked at Miss Secretary again.

Miss Secretary pouted: "Do you think it's normal for a man who looks like a normal person because of a brain injury, but looks like a normal person who is a normal person and falls in love with a different species?" ”

Faye and Maya shook their heads like rattles.

Then the secretary turned her attention to Marin.

"What do you think?"

"Hurry up and drag it away and burn it." Marin said calmly.

So the secretary smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, you are right, such an author who is polluted by chaos can only be purified by flames." ”

Marin thought so.

Because there is a saying that says it well.

Genius is half a step above mortals.

And those who are one step ahead of mortals are all insane.
