Chapter 5: Gray the Blacksmith
As the sun rises, Aisen sits on the boulder with his eyes closed and bathes in the morning sun, and the magic around him is also extremely surging because of the rising sun.
Under the warm orange sun, countless pale red points of light gathered towards his body at a speed visible to the naked eye, and this was the free fire attribute magic in the air.
As time passed, it was noon, and the magic in the air gradually thinned.
At this time, Aisen, who was sitting on the boulder, slowly opened his eyes, stretched his body, and sighed regretfully, "It's a pity, the magic power is almost upgraded, but the efficiency of just absorbing magic from the air is still too low."
In fact, what Aisen said is not unreasonable, although the air in this world is full of magic, but it is not rich, and those powerful magicians must not be made by absorbing the magic in the air alone, but Aisen does not know that even if the magic in the air is relatively thin, but according to his absorption rate, it is also very amazing.
If a magician happened to pass by and saw this scene at this time, he would have opened his eyes in shock and scolded, "Is this guy human!"
"Aisen, let's rest for a while and come over for dinner" When Aisen sighed, Grandpa Mo's shout suddenly came from behind.
After a long time, Aisen and Grandpa Mo gradually became acquainted, and Grandpa Mo also regarded this homeless boy from another place as his own child.
Hearing Grandpa Mo's call, Aisen's heart couldn't help but rise a burst of warmth, when Aisen was twelve years old, his parents divorced because of career discord, a year later his mother found a man to marry and left him, and his father also went to other countries because of his career, leaving only Aisen and a house, although his father would still send money to Aisen every month, so he learned to be self-reliant at a very young age.
Over time, Aisen's feelings for family affection became more and more blurred, until he came to this world, and in the relationship between Grandpa Mo and Nana, the lost family affection in his heart took root again.
In response to Grandpa Mo's call, Aisen soon returned to the hut.
As soon as she arrived at the door, Nana jumped up and hugged his arm, pursed her lips and said dissatisfiedly, "Brother Aisen, what have you been busy with lately, don't play with Nana"
Because he was busy preparing for the trip to the forest, Aisen didn't play much with Nana.
"Brother has some things to do recently, and when I solve these things, I will definitely play with you every day, okay" Aisen touched Nana's head dotingly, and said promisedly.
"Well, you can't go back," Nana replied with a sweet smile on Aisen, children are still children are different from adults, and just a promise makes them extremely satisfied.
But thinking that the cute girl in front of him might be eroded by the frost again at any time, the smile on Aisen's face gradually dissipated, and his hanging heart became a little heavier.
Although his heart was full of sorrow, he didn't show the slightest bit, so Nana realized that there was a time bomb in her body, and she fell into endless panic in her heart, which was too cruel for Nana and Aisen.
After eating, Eisen went to the backyard alone and took out three magic books, ready to learn the magic recorded on them.
Aisen's comprehension is extremely high, and he learned the "concealment technique" after a while.
You have acquired the skill 'Concealment', and the voice of the Great Sage rings in Aisen's head.
Eisen then picked up two other magic books and began to study.
You've learned the 'Trap', you've learned the 'Fireball'...
However, after a while, two prompts sounded one after another, and it didn't take long for Aisen to master all three magics.
"It's quite simple, it's really distressing to be too talented" Although there is no doubt that Aisen has a very high level of understanding, but the character has to be said to be indeed a little narcissistic.
Although he quickly learned the three magics, if he didn't practice them, it would always be on paper, and Eisen naturally knew this truth.
Eisen then performed the fireball technique, only to see a fireball rising from his palm, and under his control, the fireball quickly flew out and hit the tree in front of him, leaving a large black crater.
"It's not bad, the power is okay, and the range is quite long," Aisen said with satisfaction looking at the big black pit in the tree.
After trying the fireball, Eisen tried the trap technique with great anticipation.
Although Eisen understands all the theoretical knowledge, he failed a few times when he first tried because he was a little rusty, but after many attempts, he completely mastered the magic.
"This painting is not bad, and I guess I learned from the experience of the previous failures" After successfully carving a trap mark on the ground, Eisen ran into the distance to detonate the mark.
After determining the safe distance, Eisen shook his palm, and saw a huge explosion sound in the place where the mark was carved, and a huge crater appeared on the originally flat land.
Looking at the deep pit created by the explosion on the flat ground, even Aisen was a little surprised, and muttered to himself, "Yes, this power should be considered a mid-level magic, but this mark is a bit troublesome to carve, and it still needs a lot of magic to delineate."
After demonstrating the three magic skills, Aisen put away the three magic books with satisfaction, but there was one more place he had to go before heading to the forest, and this place was naturally the "Equipment House".
During Grandpa Mo's communication, Aisen learned that there was a blacksmith shop in this village, and where the villagers' farming tools were made.
Thinking that he might be able to get some equipment from the blacksmith shop, Aisen decided to go there before heading to the forest, and soon Aisen came to the only blacksmith shop in the village.
As soon as he arrived at the blacksmith shop, Aisen heard the sound of clanging iron, different from the noisy sound, the hammer sound was light and rhythmic, as if it was a piece of music, and the person Aisen was looking for was in this blacksmith shop.
He knew that the spirit needed to be highly concentrated during the forging, and the slightest distraction could lead to the failure of the forge, so Aisen did not say anything but quietly walked into the blacksmith shop.
Going deep into the blacksmith shop, beside the huge forging table, I saw a strong man with his bare upper body covered with sweat all over the strong man's strong back, and his muscular arms holding a pitch-black hammer kept waving.
The strong man's bronze bell's big eyes exuded essence, staring intently at the sword-like model on the forging table, picking up the awl and hitting it again and again, as if tireless.
After half a sound, the strong man finally stopped what he was doing, and after the last hammer sound, the sword-like model on the plate suddenly burst into a silver light, but the strong man seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with the silver sword on the forging table.
After forging the silver sword, the strong man finally noticed Aisen behind him, so he turned around and shouted to him viciously, "Little guy, you have been standing behind me for a long time, do you have something to do with me?"
"It's a pity, replace the ratio of brass and dark iron to one to two, maybe this silver-level longsword can be upgraded to gold-level" Regarding the strong man's bad attitude, Aisen didn't pay much attention to it, but just said to himself.
When watching the forging of the strong man, Aisen saw the structure and composition of the long sword clearly through the analysis of all things.
"How do you know how this long sword is made of, who are you" The strong man asked in surprise as he looked at Aisen suspiciously, obviously not believing that the young boy in front of him could see through the structure of the long sword at a glance.
Aisen naturally knew that it was impossible for a strong man to take care of a child like him, so in order to attract the attention of a strong man, he just said the structure of the analysis of everything.
"You don't need to know who I am, you just need to understand that I can make your forging skills go further" After successfully attracting the attention of the strong man, Ai Sen pretended to be profound and said slowly, through the great sage Ai Sen, he knew that this strong man was a second-grade forging master, and he had been stuck in the second-grade forging master for many years, so he concluded that the bait he had sown would not be able to refuse the strong man.
"Why should I believe you" Seeing Aisen's leisurely appearance, the strong man said with half hesitation.
"Believe it or not, but there's only one chance, if you don't believe it, then I'll go" After saying that, Eisen walked towards the door with lust, pretending to leave.
Just when Aisen was about to step out of the door, the strong man suddenly stopped Aisen and compromised, "Slow, I believe in you, say what conditions do you want?"
"Hehe, it's in the trap" Hearing the strong man's persuasion, the corners of Aisen's mouth rose slightly, revealing a treacherous smile.
Then Aisen turned his head and said seriously, "I like to work with smart people, you just need to teach me the art of blacksmithing, and give me that silver-level sword and a piece of Ujin."
When the strong man wielded the hammer, Eisen discovered the extraordinaryness of the hammer from the analysis of all things, and the black hammer was made of Ugin, for the forge, Ugin is like a stone of life to bring life to the forge.
That said, but its actual effect is that it can greatly improve the success rate of forging, so it is famous.
"How did this kid know that I still had Ugin, by chance, I got this piece of Ujin and made my hammer, and it was indeed half useless" Looking at the shrewd imp in front of him, the strong man scolded in his heart.
"I can agree to the front, but this Ugin ......," the strong man said hesitantly.
Before the strong man could finish speaking, Aisen turned his head and left.
"Don't don't, don't, I'll just promise you, how can you be so good at this little ghost" Seeing that Aisen was about to leave, the strong man hurriedly compromised, and in the end, in Ugin and the advanced opportunity, the strong man still chose the advanced opportunity.
Hearing the strong man's voice, Aisen's heart finally fell.
Although Aisen seemed calm and unflustered, he was still extremely worried that the strong man would refuse his proposal.
"Your forging skills have gone further, I have got what I want, it's a win-win," Aisen said with a smile as he succeeded.
The strong man didn't bother to debate anything with this shrewd imp, but said suspiciously, "You can understand the composition and structure of this silver sword so well, don't you still know the forging technique?"
"You don't need to care, you just have to discipline me in the forging technique," Aisen said casually, and of course Aisen would not explain to him that he knew about it because of his innate skill "Interpretation of Everything".
"My name is Gray, when will you teach me the advanced method" Seeing that Aisen didn't want to say more to him, the strong man skipped the topic and said simply.
"I'm going to the Boreal Forest, and I'll teach you when I get back," Eisen said.
"How do I know if you're going to run away with Ugin," Gray asked with a sudden look in his eyes.
"No, I'll definitely be back!" Aisen's mind flashed Nana's pale little face, and he said firmly.
When he saw Eisen's determined gaze, Gray also somehow believed the slick boy in front of him.
After giving some explanations to Gray, Eisen picked up Ugin and the silver sword and left the smithy.
