Chapter 29: The exchange of craftsmen and craftsmen in time
While the crusaders were fighting with the monsters, three new visitors arrived in the city of Mulandana.
Among the three, the leader was wearing a heavy set of full-body armor, and the heavy armor and even the mask were full of heaviness, making people wonder if he would sink into the ground as soon as he lifted his feet. A man and a woman followed by two elves, their long supple hair seemed to glow, and there was a magical light flowing in their emerald green eyes, which could be recognized at a glance by those who were familiar with the elves, they were not only elves, but also very rare high elves in the elves.
Before the world was filled with heroes because of future wars, the High Elves were almost the most intelligent race walking on earth. As for dragons and cloud giants, they are generally not counted in the ranks of "walking in the world" because of their size, living habits and activity area.
Being able to have two high elves act as followers, this heavily armored man immediately attracted the attention of Mulanda's various bull ghosts and snake gods. Many thieves or spies appear around them, knowingly or unintentionally, to inquire about them.
It's a pity that they haven't been able to get much valuable information, the people in heavy armor rarely speak, and the men and women of the High Elves talk a lot, but from their conversations, they can't hear anything useful, not even a few complete sentences - because they are talking in Elven language most of the time, this language has a lot of vocabulary, the grammar is also very complicated, and the speed of speech between the two is very fast, even professional spies can only roughly judge their identities from a few fragmentary words.
Some experienced spies could barely get a little information, such as the man in the armor was called "Pratt", and the brother was called "Brad" and the younger sister was called "Star" - in fact, the spies had for a long time thought they had misheard, because the man with white hair was actually the brother of the petite woman.
Brother, not grandpa?
I must have had something wrong with my ears, or I heard it wrong, or maybe I didn't learn Elf at home......
Such doubts repeatedly surfaced in the minds of the spies, and finally they accepted this strange fact after repeated confirmation.
The one with the white hair turned out to be the little girl's brother, who are their parents!
Could it be that they have the same father and different mother, and the old and unashamed father gave birth to an older brother when he was young, and when he was old, he couldn't control his belt and gave birth to a younger sister?
When you think about it, this seems to be very emotional......
If the time-travelers had heard their hearts, they would probably have said, "Well, in "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure", Joseph Joestar's eldest daughter Lily Joestar and second son Dongfang Yusuke are also forty years apart. An old man who can't control his belt of trousers, he has it everywhere. It's not strange that the old tree has new branches, and the youngest daughter of the king is almost eighty years younger than him......"
It's a pity that these words didn't reach the ears of the travelers, so it's a shame that a joke wasn't born.
None of these things mattered, though, and to the trio who had come from afar, the gossip and the like didn't mean anything at all. They walked thousands of miles, not to listen to nonsense.
They're here for Barney, the Master of Armor.
In order to avoid attracting attention, the eldest grandson Wu and his entourage did not go straight to Barney's house as soon as they arrived at Mulanda, but first took a turn around Mulanda, just like an ordinary tour. In the process, Changsun Wu showed a love for armor, and more than once came to various blacksmith shops to discuss with the craftsmen who made armor.
His armor skills and vision are almost the best in the world in this era. Except for one or two of the dwarves, who may have had their own strengths with him, the average craftsman is only qualified to be his student—and even this is not something that ordinary people can do. In Tara Khan, he took many blacksmith apprentices with him, but less than a third of them could understand his explanations, and less than a tenth of them could really understand what he meant.
Changsun Wu is very distressed by this, and has been looking for peers who can communicate with him on an equal footing and make progress with each other. But it's not easy to find a character who can communicate on an equal footing with the armor masters who have mastered the forging techniques of the two worlds!
After two days of prospering, he found Barney.
"I, I can only make leather goods, leather armor or something, but I can't make a whole body armor like yours. After hearing Changsun Wu's request to "communicate", Barney said in confusion, "The gap between leather armor and plate armor is quite large, and it is difficult for us to communicate with each other." ”
"Who said I wouldn't make leather armor?" asked Changsun Wu rhetorically.
Barney was stunned and asked in surprise, "You still make leather armor?"
"Of course!" Changsun Wu nodded, not saying the second half of the sentence.
(I was taught by you in the first place!)
Barney, who had just begun his transformation, certainly did not refuse to engage in technical exchanges with others, and both sides were taken aback by the results of this exchange.
Barney was naturally surprised by the high-end and comprehensive skills of Changsun Wu, but Changsun Wu was surprised by Barney's endless whimsy.
In Barney's opinion, this senior who always puts himself in heavy armor is really unfathomable, he has dabbled in various armor techniques, and has rich experience and profound insights into the processing, manufacturing, repair and decoration of leather armor.
For Changsun Wu, although the future leather armor master is not yet mature, he has unimaginable talents and talents, and that kind of inspiration that constantly bursts out is like the famous Baotu Spring, which keeps pouring out, and can always make his eyes shine, resulting in many valuable ideas.
Seeing that they were chatting hotly, Jian Thirteen, who was acting as a bodyguard next to him, said to his sister Xingzhao in a private chat: "Do you think that the image of the two of them is a little wrong?"
"Where?"
"Generally speaking, the time-travelers play the role of 'juniors who are not skilled enough for the time being, but are full of talent and inspiration'. But between them, it was the other way around, the eldest grandson Wu was a highly skilled and knowledgeable senior, and NPC Barney was a genius junior......"
"That's because we traveled many years ago, and if we waited until a few decades later, the old Barney would be better than the eldest grandson. ”
"yes, the timing is amazing. Looking at Barney's appearance, who would have thought that this genius boy full of whimsy would be one of the masters of that very powerful senior master?"
"Time, it's incredible!"
Their small talk did not affect the communication between Changsun Wu and Barney, and after a long conversation for almost an afternoon, the two of them were still unsatisfied and agreed to talk again tomorrow.
As the three of them walked out of Barney's tent, Sword Thirteen asked, "How is it? Are you sure you'll get him away?"
Changsun Wu smiled slightly, and said confidently: "Today is only thirty percent sure, but as long as we talk for a few more days, even if I don't invite him, he will take the initiative to follow us!"
"Why?"
"Because he's looking for progress. Changsun Wu said, "For a craftsman who pursues progress, in order to improve his skills and level, it is not a matter of course to leave his hometown to study!"
