Lao Wei is actually not old. He was only in his early fifties, but because he worked around the heat all year round, his whole body was shriveled and he looked like an old man. Although he has no combat effectiveness, because he has mastered the channels for manufacturing munitions, he is more stable than anyone else in this wasteland.

When Zheng Yi saw Lao Wei, his first feeling was that this person was full of secrets, and he was not a simple blacksmith.

"I'm just a simple blacksmith, and although your stuff is good, it's not worth much money to me." Lao Wei took the special grade water given by Zheng Yi, sniffed it as well, and then pushed it back in front of Zheng Yi's eyes.

Zheng Yi didn't put it away, he knew that this was a bargaining scene, so he asked:

"So what do you charge? Gold? ”

Lao Wei shook his head: "I want to do business with the Vault, do you think they will be short of water?" ”

"They want gold." Zheng Yi said: "Look at these two brothers, they are absolutely willing to exchange this bottle of water for the same volume of gold, and then sell it to the shelter in exchange for the steel and other things you want." ”

Lao Wei said: "I don't like to be so troublesome. For these businesses, you can just go to my apprentice. ”

This city exists because of Lao Wei.

In the center of the city is Lao Wei's workshop, with the most high-end furnace, and on the periphery are Lao Wei's apprentices, and then the apprentices' apprentices. The general guests stop at the second floor, and everyone knows that Lao Wei only has two kinds of customers now: one is that there are customers who are big enough; The second is to have customers with good enough materials.

Zheng Yi sacrificed high-grade water, which is a particularly big customer.

Reconnaissance 7 was a little embarrassed, in the end, Zheng Yi was brought by their brother. Originally, he thought that Lao Wei would give special water face, but who knew that people didn't care about this at all.

Zheng Yi stopped Detective 7 and asked him in a low voice to go to the second floor to find a bigger shop first. Since Lao Wei doesn't accept high-grade water, there are always people among his apprentices who know the goods, and it's the same if he pays the gold first.

The scout brother guessed that Zheng Yi still had his hand left, and left with a familiar look.

Lao Wei squinted his eyes and said, "What else does the little brother want to talk about?" ”

Zheng Yi walked outside, pretended to take out the Shield of Destiny of Iseriel from the side box of the chocobo, and slowly walked into the workshop and placed it on Lao Wei's workbench.

Lao Wei glanced at the shield placed face down, and muttered: "This workmanship is not as good as my apprentice." He turned over the front, and the whole person was stunned for an instant, as if it had been struck by thunder.

"Your shield ......" Lao Wei grabbed the shield and said in a low voice: "Follow me!" ”

Zheng Yi knew that he had made the right bet, and followed Lao Wei to the basement.

The city was made up of low-slung mud huts, and the dwellings were all underground, mainly because there was no natural barrier to the wind, so it was the only way to avoid the wind blowing down the houses.

Zheng Yi followed Lao Wei into the basement only to hear a clanging sound inside. It turned out that under his workshop, there was also a workshop. The young people working here are all concentrating, and the two of them who don't look down are all concentrating on building utensils.

Lao Wei didn't stop, and pulled Zheng Yi into the second basement floor.

This floor is still a workshop, there are no lights, and the room is filled with red fire.

"I would venture to ask," Zheng Yi said, "how do you ventilate here?" ”

Lao Wei didn't bother to answer this kind of question at all, and said, "Where did this shield come from?" ”

Zheng Yi said honestly: "Picked it up." ”

"Do you know what this pattern means?" Lao Wei said nervously.

"Angel of Destiny." Zheng Yi said.

Lao Wei was so nervous that his hands trembled, put the shield on the workbench, and grabbed his hair with both hands:

"You're one of theirs, aren't you?"

- They?

Zheng Yi seemed to be smiling.

Lao Wei put down his hand and said, "I was ignorant when I was young...... Why won't you let me go! ”

Zheng Yi used a [calm] and laughed softly: "Actually, it's not a big deal. I'm just here to buy something, very simply. ”

"Then what are you taking Him out for?" Old Wei trembled and pointed to the shield.

A blindfolded angel on a shield to be exact.

If Zheng Yi didn't know the origin of this shield very well, he would have doubted that Iseriel had come to harm this world.

"I still want to ask something."

"What?" Lao Wei said nervously: "I don't have deep contact, and I haven't been in contact for so many years, so I don't know much." ”

"Can you do this shield thing?" Zheng Yi deliberately asked the question vaguely and asked Lao Wei Dao.

Sure enough, Zheng Yi's insight once again provided him with the right intuition.

Lao Wei obviously relaxed and said:

"In our profession, this is a punching skill that can only be mastered in sequence 3, called a hole inserter. It's not that I don't do it, I really can't do it, after all, I'm only in sequence 6. If you don't believe me, I've registered it in the shelter. ”

- You're Sequence 4.

Zheng Yi felt that the wasteland he had inadvertently broken into, these urban agglomerations, should be renamed the Plains of Lies. Everyone hides their hands and refuses to tell the truth. Fortunately, he is 2 ranks high, and he can see through it at a glance, otherwise he would not have been deceived into turning his head?

"Who can make runes?" Zheng Yi asked.

"Attributed to the inscription sequence, sequence 3 and above." Lao Wei said very calmly this time, because there was no need to hide anything.

Zheng Yi was about to pick up the shield, but Lao Wei grabbed it in his hand first, and said with a smile on his face:

"I'll help you change it. You see, the belts are almost rotten...... But how is this pattern different from what I've seen? ”

Zheng Yi said as a matter of course: "There will always be differences in the image, do you believe that someone has seen her?" ”

Old Wei quickly dismantled the parts, and said as he worked: "That's right, there was a famous saying at that time: Don't look directly at God. Nor were they allowed mortals to look directly into their faces. Alas. ”

Lao Wei's long sigh was full of complicated emotions, which made Zheng Yi very puzzled. However, judging from the news he has revealed so far, it should be that a group of people survived the cataclysm, and it continues to this day, and Lao Wei has been in contact with them when he was young...... The purpose has to do with the "gods" who have plagued the whole world.

Lao Wei took a small hammer and struck it to restore the depressions on the white copper. He removed the shield from the wood, and said, "It's wood...... Alas. I replaced you with plastic rubber and tough plastic, which is lighter and has stronger kinetic energy absorption. ”

Zheng Yi didn't care about the wood, the key was not to destroy the runes on the surface of the white copper shield.

After Lao Wei improved, his spirits perked up a lot, and he said: "I think, many things have passed......

Zheng Yi held the shield in his hand, noncommittal, but asked rhetorically: "Really?" ”

Lao Wei sighed again: "Alas, what if I can't get by, I'm old, I really can't afford to come." ”

- This is a lie.

In the face of Zheng Yi's [Insight] in Sequence 2, this level of lie can only be described in three words: Ming Huanghuang.

Zheng Yi thought about it for a while, decided to pretend to be a mysterious demigod, and said with a smile:

"You took me to this dark room, helped me fix my shield, and told me about these god-becoming things, just to reconnect with them. If you really don't want to be involved with them anymore, why can't you pretend not to know 'fate'? You know they don't have your handle, and even more so you're registered, right? ”

The flesh on Lao Wei's cheeks jumped:

"Alas, that's a heart-wrenching statement, I didn't mean that, I just ......"

"Help me prepare some equipment for the necromancy and demons, swords, spears, axes, bows and arrows, chain armor, whatever you want, if you have arrows, the more the merrier." Zheng Yi said: "I pay the bill with high-grade water, and I trade in the wilderness. ”

"Okay, I'll let the apprentices prepare." Lao Wei said: "Justice armament is a sequence 7, this is easy to do." The effect is guaranteed for more than half a year, and if you are lucky, you may be able to reach a year. ”

"Okay, then I'll go first, Lord Demigod." Zheng Yi is ready to give himself a holy shield at any time, so as not to kill people after Lao Wei is called to break it.

Lao Wei just stood still, motionless, not as admirable as the legendary "demigod".
