Volume 1: The City of Carosa Chapter 16: The Blacksmith Opens
"Grandpa Alger, do you remember me, my God, I lost your hammer when I was a kid"
"You, you are really Xiaotian, I didn't expect you to grow so big in the blink of an eye" Alger waved his hand weakly, carefully measured Yan Nantian, seemed to see the familiar charm, and said happily
"Yes, it's really me, Grandpa Alger, why did you become like this" Yan Nantian's eyes were a little red, thinking of the uncle who used to give him candy, he couldn't help it
"Hey, it's a long story, don't mention it, what about your second uncle, why did you come back alone" Alger seemed to remember something, but he didn't want to mention it again, and asked rhetorically
"They all died on the way to the mission, and I was the only one who survived," Yan Nantian said, which was also silent
"Hey, good boy, it's good to be alive, unlike my hard-working child, who also never came back in a mercenary mission, hey......" Alger also fell into deep memories, and the two of them couldn't extricate themselves
After a long time, Yan Nantian reacted first, heard Alger's cough, and hurriedly helped him into the inner room to rest, there was a mess everywhere, only the bed was still clean, and after helping Alger sit down, Yan Nantian hurriedly ran to pour water
"Grandpa Alger, you drink some water first, I'll go see what to eat" Yan Nantian said, but Alger was still silent, just barely drank a few sips of water!
There was no food in the whole house, only some fragments of rice grains in the rice jar, Yan Nantian could barely boil a bowl of porridge when he put it away, but he didn't eat it, so after feeding Alger and drinking porridge and falling asleep, he went out to buy food.
On the way, I asked several people to understand that there is no vegetable market in this world, there are rice sellers, and the vegetables have to be dug by themselves, and the meat has to go to the city gate early in the morning to try their luck, and the mercenary group that comes back from doing a mission will bring some prey. Yan Nantian was afraid that Alger would wake up and run away again, so he bought rice and a jar of fruit wine and went back, although it was still dark. Fortunately, Alger was still asleep and didn't seem to wake up.
At night, Yan Nantian drank fruit wine and ate white rice by himself, and there were no vegetables at all, but he also ate with relish! And the old blacksmith still didn't wake up, which made Yan Nantian a little worried, so he slept on the edge of the bed at night.
I don't want to think that in the middle of the night, the old blacksmith suddenly woke up, pulled Yan Nantian up in high spirits, came to the stove, and couldn't help but say that he wanted to teach Yan Nantian to strike iron, I don't know where he got the strength, this thin body still waved the hammer very easily.
Yan Nantian was dumbfounded, knowing that the system prompt sound remembered
"Ding, congratulations to the host for changing careers to a professional blacksmith"
"Ding, congratulations to the host for learning the skill of striking the iron thirteen hammers"
"Ding, because the host gains 10,000 experience from the first change of life occupation, the reward life occupation will be upgraded by one level"
"Ding, congratulations to the host blacksmith for being promoted to intermediate"
A series of hints almost confused Yan Nantian, and that's okay!
And Alger still took care of himself to demonstrate his thirteen hammers of iron, and he didn't care if Yan Nantian could learn it or not, but fortunately, the latter had a system. Until an hour later, the old blacksmith seemed to be tired, and pulled Yan Nantian back to the room, telling him in a serious voice that his son was no longer there, no one inherited his inheritance, and your arrival seemed to be providential, so this blacksmith shop was handed over to you. After babbling, he fell asleep again. This time I really fell asleep!
Yan Nantian, who was completely in a state of confusion, was in a daze until dawn, and then silently kowtowed to the old blacksmith three times, and took him out of the city to find a hill and set up a tombstone during the day! And he finally understood what poison was in the old blacksmith, it was definitely iron poisoning, because he had a bad habit when he swung the hammer last night, and he actually licked his palms.
When he returned to the city, he was already in a much better mood, after all, it was impossible to see how deep his feelings were for more than ten years, but he didn't expect that there was a flood of love for a while, but he got a place to stay, so good people still have good rewards!
Passing by the city gate, I happened to meet a mercenary group coming back, so I bought some meat and spent half a gold coin, and it cost less than half a gold coin to buy rice and wine yesterday, so Yan Nantian still has 8 gold coins left. Thinking about how to make money, he unconsciously returned to the blacksmith shop, looking at the messy scene all over the ground, Yan Nantian was very complaining!
"Host, does the blacksmith need to be upgraded, you can give away a free cleansing," the system's magical voice remembered
"Well, you can, you can have this, then hurry up" Yan Nantian's eyes lit up
"Okay host, it will take a day to upgrade, please go outside and take a walk"
"Okay" Yan Nantian immediately agreed, he thought about it or decided to go to the mercenary union to have a look, if he could recruit a few members of the league would be better, just do it when he thought of it, Yan Nantian immediately rushed to the mercenary union
Today's mercenary union is still as lively as ever, Yan Nantian said hello to Su Ge's little sister and walked to the side to look at the mercenaries who came and went, hoping to find someone who could be wooed, and Su Ge was blushing by the sudden greeting, his little hands kept pinching his two braids, and he peeked at Yan Nantian from time to time, which made the people who came to register the task inexplicable
After looking at it for a while, Yan Nantian found that most of them were D-level poor mercenary groups, all of them were composed of people from the first to the second order or orcs, and the equipment was extremely poor, just like his previous Sun mercenary group, with door panels and kitchen knives...... And the only third-order magician that Yan Nantian found was a C-level mercenary group, in fact, magicians are very rare, compared to Karosa City, because it is played by nobles, it is said that the main city of mankind, Yavit, is a place where mages walk all over the place!
But it's not here, the magician here is a rare animal, so Yan Nantian is ready to flicker around, "Lao Tie, come to my mercenary group, three packs!" As a result, the magician's eyes lit up, and he immediately turned his head, grabbed Yan Nantian's arm, and said excitedly, "Really, Bao Bao Bao Bao Daughter-in-law?" ”
Now it's Yan Nantian's turn to be confused, what's the situation, daughter-in-law? Do you still lack a daughter-in-law as a dignified magician, so I fixed my eyes and looked, uh, buddy, you may really lack this look! But the three packs I'm talking about are package transfer, package skills, package power!
Who knew that after hearing Yan Nantian's explanation, this buddy walked away with a disgusted face, and also transferred jobs, skills, and, when I saw that you were in tatters, you didn't come from a big family, where did you come from, heh, you want to lie to me Zhao Ritian, tell you three words, no way!
Yan Nantian, who had been busy all day, got nothing, not only was he mercilessly rejected and scolded by many people, but some people even wanted to do it, but fortunately, this was forbidden by the mercenary union. However, Yan Nantian didn't feel anything, I have to say that the 5 points of intelligence in this body still affected him! It's completely like he can't fight back, he doesn't scold back, and he is not accompanied by a smile, he is really blind and has a good figure!
But they understand that if Yan Nantian makes a move, it will be fatal, and not only other people's lives, but also their own lives are in danger! I don't know what I'm going to do, so I'll ask you if you're afraid! Seeing that it was almost dark, Yan Nantian said goodbye to Su Ge and went back. And Su Ge looked at the direction Yan Nantian left stupidly, not only did she not feel that Yan Nantian was a nest, but she also felt that he was so attractive! What a magical aesthetic!
Yan Nantian, who was walking halfway, heard the sound of the system prompting the completion of the upgrade, and he couldn't wait even more, so he ran back. However, the appearance did not change until he entered the door, and Yan Nan opened his mouth in surprise!
The stove, anvil, and quenching pool are arranged in an orderly manner in the center, and the surroundings are extremely clean. At this time, the stove is burning, and there is no sealing box, and there is no place to add wood fire, and I don't know where this fire comes from, there is a shining iron hammer on the anvil, which is not ordinary at a glance, and the quenching pool is usual, just a pool of water, but when he approached, he didn't think so, a slight chill hit, and he couldn't see through even a centimeter of distance, which showed that the density was quite large!
"Ding, the blacksmith shop has been renovated, and the host fee is 100 gold coins"
"Ding, the host fee is insufficient, 92 gold coins are temporarily owed, and it will be paid off in one month within a limited time, and the daily interest will be 100% after one month"
"What!" Yan Nantian jumped up in shock, you didn't say the charge at the time! What kind of black-hearted system do you have, do you have such a pit host!
"Please pay attention to the words used by the host, this system is by no means a black-hearted system, you look at the furnace, the communication is the earth fire, which is not extinguished all year round, and the fire furnace can be controlled by the mind, as you like. Look at this anvil again, it is all composed of star rough stones, even the star rough stones the size of fingernails can be sold for 1,000 gold coins, and there is no market. Look at this hammer again, is the original Thor hammer good, this streamer lines, slightly flickering electric light, do I still use this system. Look at this quenching pool again, is the yellow spring water in the land of the Nine Secluded Lands good, cold and piercing, extremely corrosive, and can be sucked into the soul by gazing for a long time, of course, this system has shielded this drawback, leaving only its cold attributes, which can be used infinitely without replacement, so the host can use it with confidence. May I ask the host, does this system charge you 100 gold coins for black hearts? "The system blew up
"It's... This... It doesn't seem to be black-hearted," Yan Nantian choked up
"Hmm!!! It seems like???? "The system soprano is flying out
"Eh, no, it's me who took a big advantage, the system you are really powerful, the mana is boundless, the law frame is the Central Plains, the forehead is not right, the law frame era, dominate the world" Yan Nantian hurriedly patted his ass
"Hmph, that's pretty much it" The system was tsundere again
Yan Nantian walked over, couldn't help but pick up the hammer, the hammer of the thunder god, anyway, it is an iron hammer now, not only did he feel that there was no weight, but a familiar feeling came, and inexplicably took out a few pieces of black iron from the backpack and threw them into the furnace. Yan Nantian hurriedly clamped it out, put it on the anvil, and used the thirteen hammers to hit the iron, only to hear the loud sound of "bang bang bang", and the thirteen hammers went down, and the iron embryo immediately had the appearance of a knife, which looked like a bulltail knife, that is, the knife of Yan Xiaoliu outside the martial arts.
With a bang, quenched the water, Yan Nantian heated it again, and after it was red, he took it out and beat it repeatedly, and the oxtail knife finally took shape, and it was another sound, and the system prompt sounded
"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully crafting a weapon and gaining 100 blacksmith experience"
Yan Nantian checked the attributes of this knife
Oxtail knife (blue)
Requirement Level: 5
Strength +1
To be honest, the first time was not bad, being able to create blue weapons has already crushed the weapons in the hands of ordinary mercenary group members, okay! And this knife is just right for everyday use, after all, the artifact is too dazzling
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day Yan Nantian tore up the only remaining quilt, wrote a big iron word and hung it up, and the blacksmith shop opened!
