In the workshop, Lu Yuan looked at the big man in front of him with a smile, who called him "Master Masturbation" yesterday.

"I haven't asked for advice yet, how is it?" Lu Yuan said with a very good attitude.

"Alex! Alex? Sander, I'm from Winterfell, to the north. Alex laughed alongside, looking at Lu Yuan, who was still talking to him yesterday, always looking at the walls on both sides, and wanted to find a place to hit it twice.

"Please take a seat." Lu Yuan smiled and gave up his seat. When I was caught by the store manager yesterday, I thought about being forced to work, which was of course not very cool. But Lu Yuan thought about it, what is the amount of force? The leading technique is the strength and value. Since you have the best technique in your hand, what do you want and can't get? You don't have to do it yourself.

You see, it's like the difficult pterosaur lair in the Cloak Forest in the original game world, but now? The Iron Throne worked hard to move the pterosaur lair from the coast there. Didn't you get rid of the hammer because you killed it? The iron ore was taken by himself and Twilight Star once, and it has not been recovered, and now the pterosaur lair has been flown by the car again, this time, Xiao Cha and the sword group who ran to explore the iron ore are estimated to be in danger.

Besides, he and Twilight had just entered Baldur's Gate, and it took time to figure out the environment. Anne needs time to enter the upper echelons of the Flame Fist mercenaries, and Ding Mumu also needs time to gain the trust of the Iron Throne. Therefore, Lu Yuan made up his mind that if he came, he would be at ease, and directly rented a house to settle Twilight Star and Nana. Shi Shiran started to work.

Moreover. On the first day of work, he called an apprentice to invite the big man he had chatted with yesterday.

Lu Yuan asked someone, Alex is still a small celebrity. The leader of a famous adventure group in the Northland. Although he likes to drink and brag. But it's a good deal. Moreover, their regiment has a history of more than ten years in Baldur's Gate, and they have not heard of any bad deeds, so they are trustworthy. And Lu Yuan originally wanted to advertise personally. Need someone who can brag. You see that he dares to talk nonsense about Di Mo Gaogen, and he knows that it is right to leave this matter to him.

"Please come here today, I have a commission that needs to trouble you. Sit down and take a look at the sword first. Seeing Alex sitting down, Lu Yuan reached out and took out the cracked "Impaler" long sword from the space bag and handed it over.

The swords made by Lu Yuan are limited by the level of the forger, some are fine and some are simple. On the whole, the weapons made during Baldur's Gate for the first time, even if the weapons forged are excellent in terms of attributes, can only be regarded as average in terms of craftsmanship. In terms of craftsmanship, Lu Yuan, a blacksmith with only five years of experience, no matter how much he knows, he can't use it if he doesn't have the skills in his hands. There is often a mark that is not in place and has to be remedied by repeated corrections. These are obvious to the eyes of connoisseurs.

But after passing through the world realm of Heaven and Dragon Slayer, Lu Yuan was promoted to the realm of the Great Grandmaster, and his use of physical strength had reached the realm of meticulousness and divine understanding. When forging, it is natural to do whatever you want, and there is no longer a situation where you have more than enough heart and insufficient strength, and the forging level has risen sharply to a big step. At this time, the forged works look exquisite, and the craftsmanship is flawless.

In his earlier works, the set of swords and "Cloud Chopping" used by Twilight Star were better, and they were a stroke of genius, far beyond his own level at the time. The "Impaler" rapier is a typical work of a normal level of that period. The longsword now looked very rough, the hammer was slightly stiff, the marks of the last correction were clearly visible, and the exterior decoration was not elaborate - not even the scabbard was matched, but it had a half-cut sword holster, and most of the sword body was exposed.

The sword handed over by Master Lu himself, although it didn't look good, Alex still didn't dare to slack off. He hurriedly stood up and took the long sword handed over by Master Lu with both hands, first staring at Lu Yuan with a look of adoration, and then turning to the long sword. This sword has eliminated the means of protecting the prophecy, and the attributes of the sword are directly displayed completely, Alex looked at it like this, his mouth opened involuntarily, and his saliva was about to flow down.

This is no longer pretending, he is the head of a senior regiment, and he can't pretend to be a clown.

Master Lu's work? That really doesn't look good. This unenchanted long sword is made of average material and has average craftsmanship, although it looks novel, but it looks like a stabbing sword, and the chopping is not powerful enough, and this kind of weapon is not worth a macho man like Alex! What's more, seeing those thin cracks and chips, this is already a waste sword that will shatter if you use it again!

It can be said that apart from the peculiar feeling of attachment to the sword, this sword is useless. But look at the attributes on display - the two attributes of "excellent quality" and "extremely handy" that are about to blind the dog's eye. He almost yelled like crazy!

Alex kept rubbing his eyes, he couldn't believe that what he had been looking forward to for so many years suddenly appeared in front of him, this still needs a P hammer! Lao Tzu's best thing is a two-handed giant sword!

"Big ...... Guru!? Master Lu!? Alex's voice trembled and asked, he wanted to ask but didn't know what to ask, and he was afraid that he would miss this opportunity if he didn't ask, so that the hand holding the sword trembled slightly.

"I made it." Lu Yuan picked up the tea handed over by the apprentice and said lightly. Now he has his own dedicated studio, and even a dozen apprentices are equipped.

Alex was instantly carried away by the sense of happiness, "Master! Master Lu! Please give me ...... No, no, no. What do you tell me to do? Please speak! Please speak! ”

Halfway through the pleading, watching Master Lu smiling and drinking tea, the old man finally came to his senses and quickly reined in the precipice to change the topic. It must have been done first. Well done. It's easy to say anything. It's not done well. Don't mention pleading or anything. If you are usually an old fritter like him, you will definitely not talk too much, and you will definitely add a circle of words such as "I will do my best". But not this time! The magic weapon is right in front of you. That must be "there are difficulties to go up, and there are no difficulties to create difficulties!" ”

"As for the hammer, I made it on a whim, and it wasn't a big deal." Lu Yuan's voice seemed so easy-going and elegant, but listening to Alex's ears, he suddenly felt like a mountain looking up. See! Master Lu is really not as young as he seems on the surface, and his craftsmanship is so rough, but he is actually rich in connotation!

"What I'm best at is sword forging. So, there's something I'd like to entrust you with......"

Alex immediately sat up straight and listened carefully.

"I think, those who want to build hammers don't necessarily like to use hammers, for example, you ......" Lu Yuan's eyes lingered on the hard cocoon of his tiger's mouth and thumb, "two-handed swords? ”

"It's a two-handed sword!"

"The hammer business will be handed over to the apprentice in the future, and I still hope to make a few more good swords! Therefore, I would like to entrust you with this sword to go around the taverns and inns and show it to those who want to make hammers. If they change their minds and have good materials or novelty in their hands, they can come and talk to me. As long as what they have in their hands can impress me, I can promise to build him a superior weapon of his own! Of course, I'm going to build three or five at most this time...... That's all. ”

Can excellent weapons be customized?! Alex started to feel dizzy again.

In fact, this is due to some misunderstanding on his part, and it is also caused by the actual situation of the kingdom for thousands of years. The birth of Fei Lun's excellent weapons is mostly due to the right time and place, and then the master has a clever hand! Most master smiths spend their lives crafting sophisticated and high-quality weapons, sometimes making epic or legendary weapons, thanks to the availability of excellent materials. Only excellent weapons, as the pinnacle of non-magical forging, are really hard to come by.

Alex was still a little skeptical, after all, something that no one had done for thousands of years, suddenly someone claimed to be able to do it...... But after thinking about it, I understand a little. What Master Lu just said was "exclusive excellent items"! It's a big difference! Superior items are those that are usually in the hands of any person and have excellent properties. And the exclusive excellent items are limited to the user...... But this is also very good!

Thinking deeper, this kind of wurm has not existed in Faeron for a thousand years, but also for eight hundred years, and everyone has seen tails, but Lu Yuan used his tail to build a hammer, and immediately became a warrior artifact. Light in weight, powerful and absolutely not to hit yourself (when bent too much, the outer bone fragments will form a bracket), this hammer is a mess on the battlefield! So many people pursue, not just to be handsome, but to say that it is the key! Since Master Lu has created a unique hammer, it is really not surprising to say that he has invented a way to create an exclusive and superior weapon!

As for what Master Lu wants to entrust for him, isn't that clear? - Those who wanted to make hammers, in order to arrange the number, not only did they bring their own materials, but also paid a deposit of almost 5,000 gold coins! And that's it, it's still a long way to go. Many people's plans are to buy a family heirloom mentality, and they will wait for a few years or more than ten years! But in reality? A fool wouldn't think of the doorway here. It's the grocery store that collects the money, and it's Master Lu who makes things! The store charges 5,000, how much money can be left in the master's hands? The key is to make Master Lu himself satisfied with the reward! Otherwise, the construction period is still a trivial matter, how to ensure the quality? If it's really an apprentice who practices casually, the time to fight the boss is broken, who to cry to?

Alex was still very glad at this time, although he was also the commander of the senior regiment, he knew very well what kind of price some people could pay for excellent weapons - he would never be able to take it anyway. Now, as long as you work errands, you can not only get an excellent two-handed sword, but also get some benefits from it.

This line that I put on is definitely a profitable deal.

"Understood, you wait for my good news."

Lu Yuan continued to drink tea leisurely and watched Alex walk out of the room. Before Alex got the hammer, he dared to brag about Dimo Gogan. Give him a good sword now, and I'm not afraid that he won't be able to blow flowers. He rang the bell, and not long after, an apprentice walked in.

He picked up a scroll and handed it to the apprentice, "Give this to the store manager." ”

The inside of the scroll is a ciphertext that can only be unlocked by two people, and the front side records the process of making the "Dragon Tail Hammer", and the reverse side is full of what he needs. Since Lu Yuan didn't have the heart to continue making dragon tail hammers, it was better to sell them for a good price. (To be continued......)
