"Bell~Bell~"

When Lu Xiao walked out of the woods, a small blacksmith shop appeared next to the ruins of an abandoned temple.

A bearded, emaciated dwarf stood in front of the iron felt, engrossed in beating the red-hot iron embryo, seemingly ignorant of the arrival of Lu Xiao and the others.

After Mimir's previous explanation, everyone in the group knew why this dwarf appeared.

Lu Xiao pretended not to know anything, put on a surprised expression and said loudly: "It's really strange that there is a blacksmith shop here. ”

"Bell~"

After the last tap, the dwarf who was immersed in his work turned his head, and his gaze glanced at the small bag on Lu Xiao's waist as if unintentionally.

"Guests? Is there anything I can help me with? ”

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce myself."

Compared to the rude Brock, the dwarf behaved in a rather elegant manner, and did not look like a blacksmith who did manual work all day.

"My name is Sindri, the best blacksmith in the Nine Realms...... One. ”

Recalling Brock's self-introduction, Lu Xiao couldn't help but smile in her heart.

'Honest man. ’

Yongzhen greeted Sindri politely: "Hello, Sindri, we are travelers who have traveled through the Nine Realms. ”

"My name is Yongzhen, these two are Lu Xiao and Yuzaoqian, and this is Xiaofen...... and heads. ”

"Hey!"

Mimir shouted dissatisfiedly, "Ma'am, I have a name too!" ”

When Sindri saw the dirty human head fixed to the wolf's back, there was a clear look of disgust on his face.

"Uh~ Can you take this head a little farther away? It's so dirty. ”

"Hey! Sindri, don't you know me? I'm Mimir! ”

Sindri subconsciously took two steps back: "Of course I know, your state is completely different from the last time I saw you. ”

Trying not to look in Mimir's direction, Sindri took a deep breath to adjust his mood.

"Okay, let's skip the head-to-head topic."

"If you have weapons and equipment to maintain, I can help you for free."

The Xuanyuan Sword is an artifact, and it has the ability to maintain itself, and it does not need a blacksmith to maintain it.

Yongzhen got the Ulu Tai Knife from Ai Cui's hand, although its strength is very amazing, but considering the special structure of the Tai Dao, it will still wear out after using it too much.

In order to train Yongzhen, the mountain monsters and demonic beasts encountered when going down the mountain were handed over to her by Lu Xiao to deal with.

The monster's skin is as hard as a rock, and some individuals are even able to extend the spells on the rune pillars to their own defenses.

The thin sword is prone to wear and tear after multiple slashes, and Sindri came at the right time.

"Wow~"

Seeing Yongzhen handing out the Ulu Tai Knife, Sindri exclaimed with joy when he saw Hunting.

"It's an incredible material, with excellent magic conduction, high strength, and the craftsmanship of the forgers, it's a near-perfect work."

“…… The only downside is that there are too many stains on the knife, let me take care of it first. ”

As Mimir said, Sindri had a habit of cleanliness, and he wore special leather gloves on his hands when striking iron.

Not to isolate the sputtering sparks, but simply to protect the hands from direct contact with blood-stained weapons.

Compared with Lu Xiao, who is big and transformed, Yongzhen, who is as meticulous as a hair, is already very attentive to the maintenance of weapons, and will do the most basic maintenance and cleaning of the sword at the end of each battle.

But in Sindri's eyes, that level is not enough.

"Bell~"

Lifting a special hammer and striking it lightly on the blade, the surface of the knife, which was stained with a lot of stains that were difficult to remove, suddenly took on a new look.

Mimir complained mercilessly: "Sindri, when will you be able to change your cleanliness problem, and you are also bored enough to solidify the highest level of cleansing spells on the forging hammer." ”

After cleaning up the stains, Sindri really began to take care of the weapon.

"You don't understand, if you have the opportunity to try to zoom in on the water droplets that are close in front of you, I'm sure you'll be as wary of everything around you as I am."

Isn't that a magic version of an artificial microscope...... Feelings: This guy saw a small bug at the molecular level? ’

Lu Xiao did not forget the purpose of looking for Sindri, and he chatted with Yongzhen who was waiting for the maintenance of the weapon to be completed without a trace.

"I don't know where to go to find a more suitable material for the shaft, and the wood found in the field has poor guiding performance."

Sindri raised his head and glanced at the two of them: "You two, I have an arrow here with very good demonic guiding ability. ”

After finishing the maintenance of the knife, Sindri rummaged through the leather pockets around his waist.

He pulled out a large pile of tools from the seemingly small pocket.

"No, it's not this."

"It's not this either."

"This ...... Oh! ”

Sindri somehow pulled a fish out of his pocket that was still alive, and he hurriedly threw the fish to the ground with a helpless expression.

“…… It's time for me to clean up my backpack. ”

After a while, Sindri finally found what she was looking for in her bag despite her nausea.

"That's it!"

Sindri placed a bundle of green bows and arrows on the small table.

"The arrows made by the first mistletoe parasitism in the Nine Realms are relatively small, so try to save some of them."

Lu Xiao did not move on the surface, took off the folding bow on his arm armor, and picked up a mistletoe arrow from the table and placed it on the magic bowstring.

Just like Sindri said, the mistletoe's arrow guide performance is very good, and the magic power that Lu Xiao infuses into the arrow body has almost no attenuation.

"Whoosh!"

Tentatively, the arrow was fired, and the arrow was plunged into the trunk of a tall tree.

Under the influence of the magic, the entire tree exploded in the middle, and debris flew everywhere, and Sindri hurriedly ducked under the seat to avoid being affected.

Lu Xiao refolded the longbow with satisfaction: "The accuracy is very high, there are almost no errors, and the craftsmanship is very good." ”

After paying the rune stones they had obtained from the mountain monster as a reward, Lu Xiao and the others were about to continue their journey, but Sindri stopped them at this time.

"Several, please wait a moment, I have a ...... Questions to ask. ”

Sindri's expression was a little unnatural, and he stretched out his hand and pointed to the small bag on Lu Xiao's waist: "I feel a familiar magic aura from that package, can you let me see what's inside?" ”

Lu Xiao smiled secretly in her heart, took the Rainbow Bridge Stone out of her bag, and put it on the table in front of Sindri.

"Rainbow Bridge Stone."

Sindri's expression was a little complicated, nostalgic and a little confused.

"This was built by Brock, right? My brother who never cared about hygiene. ”

Lu Xiao nodded and said, "That's right, we want to travel between the Nine Realms, and we entrusted Brock to help us build this key." ”

Sindri touched his chin thoughtfully, 'Why would Brock risk offending Asgard to build a rainbow bridge stone for a stranger?' Is there something special about this group of people? ’

Tamamo looked at Sindri's appearance and complexion in disbelief: "You are Brock's brother?" Why don't you look like each other from head to toe? ”

Brock's skin is blue, while Sindri is a normal taupe dwarf, and they don't look similar in appearance or personality.

Sindri spread his hands: "I don't want to admit it, but he is indeed my brother, but we parted ways a long time ago because of a disagreement. ”

Tamamo looked at the faces of Sindri and Brock, which were very different, and suddenly a term that he had learned from the Internet not long ago popped into his mind.

'Happy to be a father? ’
