Chapter 203: Ruler, Inch
Passing through the very quiet village road, Enna led the way to a certain part of Stone Mill Village, but she looked like a child running and jumping around happily.
It is undeniable that Enna did have some knowledge of the village, and almost did not make a mistake to find the correct location of the blacksmith shop.
When the trio stopped outside the dilapidated blacksmith's shop, they were filled with questions about the leaky room.
"I said, Enna, take a good look at this place, is it still a blacksmith shop? If it hasn't been closed for ten years, or it's in the wrong place at all, I'm afraid it's not at the garbage recycling station, right? Xiaoice questioned Enna.
Her face turned pale, and Enna couldn't help but doubt her memory, to say that Xiao Mozhu and Xiaoice reluctantly agreed to take them out to "play", but the condition was to help them find the blacksmith shop of Master Suo Cripple......
"It's here! It's really here...... Maybe ......"
Glancing at her as if she was being despised by Xiaoice, Enna lost her self-confidence and hurriedly took a few steps forward, while saying, "I...... I'm going to knock on the door! ”
Debris such as wood, charcoal, and rusty iron were piled up on both sides, leaving a path in front of the house.
Between these debris, weeds are overgrown, and there is a large amount of spider silk, which is full of decay.
In a lumber pile, Enna even caught a glimpse of a small yellow snake, but it looked like the snake was shriveled and had been dead for a while due to the recent drop in temperature, but it still scared Enna.
The eaves were also damaged, and the pillars were full of dust, Enna walked under the eaves, a little worried about whether this broken house would collapse, but Xiao Mozhu and Xiaoice behind were watching, and had to muster up the courage to raise their hands.
Knock knock!
There was a knock on the door, and Enna was also slightly surprised to find that although the wooden door of the house was broken, it was still clean, as if it was occasionally used.
Feeling something, Enna looked down at the ground, and realized that from the front of the door to the outside, it did not look like it had not been stepped on for a long time, even if the rest of the place was pickled and unclean, and the road was not paved with dust.
The village was as quiet as night, and the voices of the three men speaking were abrupt, and the knocking on the door was even louder.
As the three of them waited silently, there was a dull sound of footsteps in the blacksmith's shop, and then, with a "creak", the wooden door opened open and almost fell down with a strong push.
Enna took a step back and looked uneasily into the room.
Xiao Mozhu and Xiaoice also stepped forward and stood on either side of Enna.
Through the crack in the door, a head with black and white hair sticks out, and in its sunken eye sockets, its red eyes turn, looking at the three people outside.
"Ahh It's Grandpa Suo! ”
Enna couldn't help but be overjoyed and shouted loudly.
The lame man, the owner of the blacksmith's shop, looked at the young girl in bewilderment, wondering if he knew ......
The blacksmith's shop is quite spacious, with a lot of column-shaped furnaces, iron-making furnaces, bellows, and anvils, but they are not dirty.
There was a passage on the shop that led to the other place, presumably the bedroom and backyard, and in the open space was a square wooden table with bowls, plates, and wine glasses.
As soon as she walked into the blacksmith shop, she was greeted by the smell of alcohol, Enna hid to the side and retched for a while, and when she came back, she covered her mouth and nose tightly, and her face was a little whiter than before entering the door.
Inviting the three of them to sit down at the square table, the lame man walked and staggered to his seat, picked up the wine glass and took another sip.
Sloppy, with a scruffy beard, the lame man looks decadent.
When Xiao Mozhu and Xiaoice patted the bench and sat down, Enna was a little panicked, it was rude not to sit, but the stool seemed not to be very clean, and Miss En's, who paid great attention to hygiene, could not get over the hurdles in her heart.
In desperation, Enna had to take out her elegant and clean handkerchief, put it in the middle of the bench, and then reluctantly sat down.
"How many people, what do you want to build?" The lame man drank to himself and asked casually.
In today's era, even in the relatively backward Lan Island, metal factories that use machinery in a wide range of machinery have gradually replaced blacksmiths and other professions......
In such a dirty environment, Enna's mood can be said to be very depressed, but it is impossible to quit the blacksmith shop, after all, she still has to act as a translator for Xiao Mozhu and the two to communicate with Suo Cripple, so even if Suo Cripple doesn't remember Enna now, she is not ready to bring up the past to "reminisce", she just wants to hurry.
With Xiao Mozhu's signal, Enna pinched her nose lightly, and said to Suo Cripple angrily: "That, we want to build a ...... Weapons...... A sword. ”
Completely ignoring Enna's various disgusted expressions, Suo Cripple nodded and asked, "What kind of sword, is there a shape sketch?" Do you provide raw materials? ”
Seeing the two talking, Xiao Mozhu was a little curious, Enna said that this blacksmith used to be a goblin warrior, but now I see it, Suo Cripple has a world-weary look, sloppy regardless of the eyes of others, where is the shadow of half a "warrior"?
Perhaps, the disabling blow is not something that everyone can pick up again.
Clang!
Boom!
Two different voices fell, Xiao Mozhu raised his hand, and two different things had been placed on the table.
A bumpy piece of iron, a dark red short sword with engraved stripes.
"It's the raw metal, cast them...... Together, they were forged into a long sword. Enna said.
Nodding, Suo Cripple weighed the two pieces of raw materials, and continued to ask: "What is the size of the sword, is it a heavy sword, a light sword, a broadsword, or a toothed sword?" How to calculate the surplus of materials, and how to calculate the shortage of materials? ”
Xiao Mozhu thought about it carefully and explained to Enna.
"The sword is two feet four inches long, one inch and two inches wide, and the hilt is made of other metals, try to build it according to this specification, if the material is insufficient, you can reduce the size, but you must not add other materials...... Well, that's what he said. Enna translated while listening to Xiao Mozhu's description.
Carefully observing the iron in his hand, the cripple nodded and carefully wrote down what Enna said.
On the surface, he looked depressed, but in fact, his heart was bright, and the iron block and the short sword took turns to look at it, and the cripple couldn't help but exclaim.
"It's weird, what kind of metal is this, I don't recognize it! What kind of metal is this? ”
No one could answer this question, although it was Xiao Mozhu who held these two items, but when it came to the composition of the meteorite block and the "broken spirit", he also didn't know.
Therefore, Enna couldn't continue to translate, and after a little thought, she said, "The cost is not a problem, as long as the sword can be built perfectly, I think, even if you offer a high price, I can afford it."
Xiao Mozhu did not explain this sentence......
