As the king of Gondolin, Charr's cheap uncle Turgong is tall, with upright and three-dimensional facial features, and a calm and calm face.

Like his sister, he was fond of white, and always wore a well-fitting robe of this color, both when he went to the palace for meetings and at the present family feast.

"Whether you want to learn more about it or just want to learn about it, he can get you covered." He said.

But before Charles could respond, Arettir beside him spoke.

"Which master is it?"

"Enetir." Turgon replied.

So Arettir fell silent.

Charles thought that his pestering mother might speak out against it, but when he turned his head, he was met with a pair of encouraging eyes.

However, Charles could sense that she was feeling a little lost, but she didn't show it.

He couldn't help but open his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

……

The attic skylight sits at the top of the central spire of the roof, allowing sunlight to shine through the special window in both the east and west, completely enveloping the cluttered workbench below.

A black-haired elf with tough features and a brown shirt and trousers sat at the workbench, concentrating on cutting a ruby with a saw in his hand.

After carefully cutting it into several pieces, he picked up other tools to cut and polish the pieces of various sizes a second time until they had a general shape.

Then he switched tools again and again and began the delicate and tedious grinding work......

Cutting, pre-shaping, grinding, polishing......

At the jeweller's side, Charles stood silently watching the craft grow from rough at first to more elaborate and delicate.

Sandpaper, graver, tray, drill saw, unique potion for polishing......

The jeweler, known as Enetier, was constantly picking up and putting down a large number of tools, and the sunlight above his head was always bright, allowing him to work more carefully and attentively on the gradually forming ruby in his hands.

Eventually, a shiny finish that reveals a burgundy hue in the sunlight is revealed.

"A heart that is not in a hurry is the basic quality of being a jeweler." Placing the warm and hard diamond-shaped ruby in Charles's hand, he said, "But the most important thing is to have a pair of eyes that seek beauty, and a skillful hand that can create this beauty." ”

"As you can see, these processes are complex, but they are not difficult for us. But why are some jewelers sought after by the public, while others are obscure? ”

Because this is a world where "faces" are seen.

Charles replied silently, nodding as if he had been taught.

Although he already knew a little about the jewelry polishing process in Nagoth Lund, he even felt that he was able to get his hands dirty.

But since the Noldor jeweler named Enetil can be recognized by Turgon, there must be something unique about it.

Relatively speaking, Charles is just a rookie who has not yet started, and his eyes are low, so he naturally will not be underestimated.

And so the month-long study began.

Knowing how rubies are made doesn't mean knowing all the gemstones, such as gemstones, crystals, pearls, agate, diamonds, and even gold.

The beauty that comes from the raw materials is as complex as the processing skills that need to be learned.

Because of the different materials, the gemstone embryo is intrinsically different, and the skills and tools required are also different.

It took Shire ten days to learn this.

But more importantly, there is another technique.

That's how to unite the heart of a jeweler.

In Shire's thinking, it is how to form a professional design concept and personal beauty.

Speaking of beauty alone, everything in the world has its own beauty. Even racial civilization.

How to find a material that perfectly matches the temperament of these beauties, and then integrate them into jewelry is a matter of accumulation over time.

This kind of consumption is not a skill in hand, but mainly an accumulation of mood, or a perception of beauty.

It is also the difference between high and low jewelers.

Ordinary jewellers may only teach the use and extension of the craft of jewelry, but this one, Enetier, prefers to teach the charr this intangible concept and his deeper personal style.

At the same time, he is also very experienced in his profession, and often the finished product that Charles thinks is good can find all kinds of obvious defects and better improvement directions after a few glances at the other party.

Therefore, although it only took Charles ten days to master the processing and production of various gemstones and make the finished products on his own, and even learned the dissolution of precious metal jewelry extended by jewelry in two days.

But he still did not leave the ranks of apprentices.

At the same time, he fell into confusion.

Forging can be done by means of molds, which can be used to imprint the secret text and then integrate it into the weapon, how to work with polishable jewelry?

In ten days, he learned a series of processes from raw materials to finished products for various types of jewelry, and because he had a forging foundation, he didn't need to bother to even master the techniques related to jewelry shaping.

However, a month has passed, and there is still no clue about this bottleneck.

Charles had tried to engrave the secret inscription on the gem embryo, but to no avail, wasting several pieces of raw material.

Enediel, who had taught him, noticed that the king's nephew seemed to be troubled, but he did not observe that he was having any trouble with jewelry.

Born out of knowledge and experience beyond this era, Charles's path in jewelry has gradually become clear, which makes Enettir secretly sigh.

He thinks Charles will be a different kind of top jeweler in time.

But how could he possibly know that what Charles was thinking about now was how to take this craft to another level?

……

Two months after Charles arrived in Gondolin, he no longer had to report to Enadier every day, and his only "homework" was to go to ask for advice with his finished product.

Most of the time, Charles thinks about how to break through the bottlenecks he encounters, and rarely comes into contact with outsiders

So much so that rumors began to spread in Gondolin that the king's nephew was obsessed with polishing jewels and was not sociable.

This is not unlike the rumor that he was obsessed with forging when he was in the Land of Seven Rivers.

However, for the Noldor Elves, who are generally fond of all crafts, this trait is completely in the ranks of advantages.

Of course, Charles didn't spend all his time studying, and apart from the necessary practical learning, he would find time to spend time with Arettir every day, while dealing with all the problems of his uncle Turgong at the family dinner.

Academics, knowledge, weapons skills and military training, etc.

Charles didn't show any unusual abilities, but he was quite satisfied with Charles's basic situation.

However, he also found many shortcomings in this nephew.

For example, he basically knows little about the customs and etiquette of the clan, and he has a strong accent and omissions in the Noldor language.

This is also expected, after all, he has been taught no one since he was a child, and it is already a very surprising thing for him to be able to grasp the Noldor language initially.

Before, he even thought that this person could only speak Sinda today.

However, surprises are surprises, and there should be remedial measures.

Although the nephew came from Sinda's paternal bloodline, Turgong thought he was good enough to be included in the royal family of Noldor.

Qualified Quenya is a necessary subject for a Noldor royal family, though most of the Noldor have now abandoned the language in favor of Sinda.

In addition to this, Carnier's handwriting is also "ugly".

This is not a subjective ridicule, but an objective fact.

But it's still that sentence, and it makes sense.

The runi script of Gondolin is similar to that of the outside world, so this needs to be improved.

At the same time, the pronunciation of the text here is significantly different from the outside world, and it is also more perfect.

So Turgong has been thinking about finding a language teacher for this nephew recently, and in fact he has already been selected.

It was only because Garnier was becoming obsessed with the craft of jewelry that he did not speak immediately.

However, before Turgong could find a second teacher for his nephew, an elven nobleman asked him to come to the door to learn from Charles.

If this was an ordinary elf, he would not be able to pay attention to it, but the one who came to him to "entrust the relationship" was Rogge, one of the ten major families of Gondolin, the lord of the Angry Hammer family.

Looking at the young nephew who was subconsciously chewing bread on the table with an absent-minded face, Turgong, who had always regarded it as a teaching for his juniors, inexplicably didn't know how to speak.
