"It's you again!"

Looking at the person standing at the door, the laughter just now and the unhappiness of being disturbed three times and twice, Beard suddenly became angry, but the next second he was forced to suppress by Xiao Yueluo's voice.

"Teacher, you ...... Know? ”

Xiao Yueluo looked at Navis, who was obviously standing at the door for a while, and looked at Beard, who wanted to rush up and beat people, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

"Acquaintance? Lao Tzu doesn't know this kind of scoundrel! The anger on Beard's face was not concealed in the slightest, and with a wave of his big hand, he turned around and walked towards the only seat in the shop, but as soon as he sat down, he seemed to have thought of something, and then looked up at Xiao Yueluo with a suspicious expression, "Wait a minute, listen to what you just said...... Do you know this scoundrel? ”

Navis: "...... uncle, can we stop mentioning the word scoundrel?" We're so handsome, if someone hears it, it's like they've thought I've done something.

"What did you do?"

Xiao Yueluo's eyes narrowed slightly, and her gaze at Navis was full of danger signals, if it was anything else, it would be fine, but as a person who respected her teacher, Xiao Yueluo never said softly to people who did not respect her teacher.

There was once a noble child in the Duchy of Evel who looked down on Beard's mercenary status, and was finally beaten on the ground by Xiao Yueluo directly to the door, if it wasn't for Rita notifying Beard to arrive in time, I'm afraid it would not be just a matter that could be solved by lying in bed for half a year. And because of that incident, all the nobles of the Duchy of Everel were very respectful to Grace and Beard.

Can it be disrespectful? In addition, as far as the old nobles and the new nobles are concerned, the former values ability and talent, and the latter's previous status is not much better. So even if someone's behavior is a little excessive, they won't interfere too much, not to mention that Xiao Yueluo is already standing upright, plus her own influence and personal force value, except for those noble children with abnormal brains, everyone else knows what to do.

"Speak...... I don't want to repeat it a second time. Xiao Yueluo's voice didn't sound the slightest change, but the aura emanating from her body continued to rise with time, "One, two, three......"

"......" Xiao Yueluo's voice fell one after another, and Navis felt the chill around him, and couldn't help but show a wry smile. If he could, he would have wanted to deny it, but he and Beard did have some disputes, although it wasn't a big deal, but judging from Xiao Yueluo's current appearance, even if he said it, he probably wouldn't believe it.

"Xiao Yueluo, that's enough, I just had some disputes with him over some things."

Beard sighed slightly, his eyes were full of complexity, he could see that Xiao Yueluo and the person in front of him knew each other, but even so, she still didn't hesitate to be angry with him, if she didn't move, it would be fake.

And Navis saw that Xiao Yueluo withdrew her evil anger under Beard's persuasion, and then he was also relieved: "You definitely wanted to kill me just like that, right?" ”

"Guess."

Xiao Yueluo raised her eyebrows and did not deny or admit it, and for a while Navis was also a little speechless. He wants to be angry, but he doesn't know what to be angry about; Don't be angry, you always feel that something is wrong.

"What's the relationship between the two of you?"

The way the two got along made Beard on the side a little strange, and the eyebrows on his forehead furrowed again, and there was obvious scrutiny in his eyes looking at Navis, as if the old man was looking at his son-in-law......

The thought that popped into his head made the corners of Navis's mouth twitch, who could tell him why he had the same thoughts?

"Relational ...... What do you mean ......?"

Xiao Yueluo frowned, and before she finished speaking, she was pulled by Navis's sleeve: "You and I come over for a while." ”

Saying that, Navis directly pulled Xiao Yueluo to another corner of the shop, and only after confirming that there was enough distance did he suppress his voice and say, "Did your teacher misunderstand something?" ”

"What misunderstanding?"

"I'll tell you this......"

Navis was a little helpless, but he still told Xiao Yueluo his judgment, and then Xiao Yueluo looked the person in front of her up and down with extremely disgusted eyes before saying lightly: "I understand, but now is not the time to talk about this kind of thing, I will talk to the teacher when it is all over." ”

"Not yet...... I'll go, you'll listen to me!" Seeing that Xiaoyueluo turned around and left, Navis stomped his feet in a hurry, but before he could follow, he noticed Beard's sharp gaze. If eyes could kill, Navis felt that he would have died tens of thousands of times, and that he was still in pieces.

Suppressing the urge to leave, Navis stubbornly walked towards the place where the two of them stood, but fortunately there was no one else in the blacksmith shop, otherwise if his current appearance was seen and spread, the nobles would definitely take the opportunity to ridicule him.

"Teacher."

A crisp shout made Beard directly withdraw his gaze from Navis, and then lowered his head slightly to look at the girl who walked in front of him, and was just about to say something but was interrupted by Xiao Yueluo.

"Teacher, I know you have some doubts right now, but don't worry, I'll explain some things to you later." Xiao Yueluo said very seriously, so serious that Beard was a little embarrassed to interrupt the girl's words, but with Xiao Yueluo's explanation of various things, Beard's thoughts ran away a little.

"There's one more thing I want to do in addition to the equipment I mentioned earlier...... Teacher, are you listening to me? ”

Noticing the distraction of the person in front of her, Xiao Yueluo frowned a little disapprovingly, while Beard smiled a little awkwardly after his behavior was discovered: "What, I'm listening, I'm listening, isn't it just equipment, although it's a lot, but it's enough to wrap it around me." ”

After saying this, Beard also glanced at Xiao Yueluo cautiously, but when he noticed the girl's deeper frowning eyebrows, his heart suddenly "chuckled", and then the next second he heard Xiao Yueluo's helpless voice again.

"Although I expected this to be the result for a long time, as far as your answer is concerned, teacher, you should not have listened to a word of what I said before." The girl held her forehead and sighed, revealing a distressed look.

"Ahem, I'm sorry, why don't you say it again?"

"Again, I'm afraid today's time is ......" Through the open door, Xiao Yueluo glanced at the night outside the door that had darkened at some point, and her face showed a trace of confusion.

"Don't worry about this, I have a room upstairs in this store, if you don't mind, you can stay, just so let's talk about this time."

...... "So, what about him?"

Seeing that he was subconsciously ignored by Beard, the corners of Navis's mouth twitched imperceptibly, although he wanted to ask, but he didn't know how to speak when he looked at the scene in front of him.

"Teacher, I have something to do when I go back later, so I won't live here for the time being, and I will definitely talk to you when I have time." Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a figure walking out of the doorway, and Xiao Yueluo continued to say to Beard without changing her face, "As for the second thing I want the teacher to help me with, you should remember the giant sword that Her Royal Highness gave me at the beginning, right?" ”

"Oh, you said that, I remember asking you to change it again, how could you forget......"

In a trance, Beard seemed to see the joy on the girl's face when she received the weapon again, but the next second the picture was forcibly dispersed by Xiao Yueluo's cold voice.

"I hope the teacher can help me reforge that greatsword."

"Recast? Are you sure? Beard frowned, his voice carrying a seriousness that had never been felt before, "I used to help you reforge and you refused, why now...... And that sword should mean a lot to you, right? ”

Reforge is a method of re-smelting a finished weapon to extract impurities, and then adding some rarer and more precious ores to increase the strength of the weapon. It's just that the weapon after the reforge is no longer the original one, and with how much Xiao Yueluo cherishes the greatsword, Beard thinks it is more suitable to build a new one.

"Teacher, you don't have to worry about me, I know what I'm doing." The girl's gaze was full of determination, but the clenched fists and slightly trembling body still revealed her inner struggle at this time.

"I've been thinking a lot these days, if I had enough strength at the beginning, I would have been able to protect Evel and protect Her Royal Highness the Princess, so ...... Teacher, please help me this time. ”

Xiao Yueluo suddenly bowed deeply to Beard, and then before the person in front of her could answer, she got up and spoke again, "I think you have also heard of those mutations on the continent, the strength of mutant beasts far exceeds that of humans, even the most ordinary captive domestic animals need the cooperation of several soldiers to kill after mutation." ”

"What's more, there are some beasts that are very powerful in their own right, and after mutation, they have unimaginably powerful powers, even those king-level mercenaries can't deal with them alone."

"Have you encountered it?"

At this time, Beard's voice sounded a little low, and the gaze that looked at the girl was very complicated.

"Yes, it's okay to deal with one alone with my strength, and if I encounter several combined forces, I can only escape." Speaking of this, Xiao Yueluo paused slightly, her eyelids narrowed slightly, but she quickly raised her head again, "Besides, my strength has reached the peak that I can reach, even if I can improve in the future, it will be difficult to grow much, so reforging weapons is the only choice for me to quickly improve my strength." ”

"Hey, I can understand the mood teacher who wants to improve your strength, but can you tell me why you didn't choose to reforge it? You should know that there is a certain risk in rereforging, and once it fails...... "Once it fails, the only fate that awaits that greatsword is scrapping......

Beard knows this, and Xiao Yueluo, who is Beard's student, naturally knows this too.

"There is a reward to get, Her Royal Highness the princess once told me that everything has its own set of value benchmarks, if you just blindly consider and avoid risks, then in the end you can only achieve nothing, so ...... Even if I lose, I want to gamble once. ”

"Do you get what you pay for......" whispered while the corners of his mouth curled, and then Beard nodded with a hint of approval in his eyes, not to Xiao Yueluo, but to Rita, who didn't know where she was at the moment.
