Chapter 314: Calvin the Blacksmith (Part II)

The four-story tower, considered a landmark, stands out, and Barrett easily finds its location after just a cursory glance.

The mummy, who was very happy after receiving the new bandage, casually told Barrett that the undead creature inhabited by the tower was a rare undead spellcaster, but his identity was not a lich. As for what it was, the mummy did not reveal more information.

When Barrett reached the tower in a zigzag trend of three advances and one retreat, he immediately saw the building with a constant blue glow (the flame in the forge) inside. If nothing else, it should be the destination of his trip.

Between the tower and the blacksmith's shop, there is a dome-shaped mausoleum guarded by many white stone pillars. As Barrett passed by the mausoleum, he glanced sideways at the dark, deep entrance to the mausoleum.

Strangely enough, although his blue eyes could easily cut through the darkness and see far away, he couldn't see anything inside the entrance to the mausoleum at this time, even if it was so close.

The darkness at the entrance was solid, cutting off his observation.

......

The door to the smithy was closed, and Barrett stepped forward and knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside. After that, he tried many times, but it still didn't change.

This was already expected by Barrett. According to the mummy's account, Calvin the Storm Dwarf never opens the door to any outsider, and no matter how hard you knock, he chooses to turn a deaf ear. Anyway, in his long career in iron, he has long been accustomed to all kinds of harsh or roaring noises.

So, you can only trespass in like an uninvited guest.

But no one likes their home to be broken into by someone else, so after you break in, Calvin's already melancholy mood will definitely become worse.

At this point, the first thing you say when you walk through the door becomes quite important, and it determines whether you will be blasted out with a hammer by an enraged Calvin, or whether you will have him sit patiently and listen to your appeal. This is what the kind mummy emphasized.

No way, that's what free stuff is, not to mention that Calvin was still a quasi-legendary-level blacksmith during his lifetime. Although the Storm Dwarf not only lost the ability to wield thunder and lightning after his death, but even the forging skills carved into his bones decreased slightly, he was also the most powerful blacksmith Barrett had ever encountered.

When the knock on the door failed, our Death Knight pressed a pair of metal gloves engraved with the emblem of a skull's fangs to the door of the smithy. Barrett calmed slightly, adjusted his mind to the time of bargaining, and then he pushed the door of the blacksmith shop open with a strong push with both hands, and walked in with a swaggering step.

Inside the blacksmith sits a tall, sturdy zombie-like creature. This guy looks like a dwarf with countless magnifications, and although he is only half a head taller than Barrett in terms of height, his horizontal size can easily fit two of him.

It wasn't bloated and fat, but it was extremely strong, like a dwarf, giving it an extremely stocky feeling.

There is no doubt that this guy must be Calvin the Storm Dwarf. When Barrett pushed the door open, he saw Calvin sitting by the forge, silently watching the dark blue flames burning in the furnace.

When he spotted Barrett, the intruder, his stiff face was stunned for a moment, and then became extremely angry. Calvin got up from his stone chair, picked up the hammer beside him, and without saying a word, prepared to knock the intruder out of front of him.

Barrett did not panic at this time, he was well prepared after the introduction of the mummy, and he had already practiced many times with the help of the latter, and the expression on his face was quite calm.

When the giant forging hammer was about to reach its body, and the little ghosts around him all let out a panicked scream, our death knight with an online IQ said, "Moradin is on top!"

After a brush, the giant hammer stopped in front of Barrit's eyes, and Calvin, the dwarf of the storm, looked at him with a puzzled expression, and after hesitating for a moment, he put the hammer down and said, "Moradin is on it!"

"Thank you and praise you – our great 'Soul Forger', 'Father of Dwarves', 'Father of All Things'......" Barrett continued.

Although his former dwarven companion was not very religious in his daily life, he still prayed to his Lord God very sincerely on some special occasions and festivals. After a few more times, Barrett also remembered a few words.

Calvin the Storm Dwarf heard the intruder's prayer with a solemn and reverent expression, and he followed Barritt's prayer and recited it in a low, hoarse voice, "Praise be to your supreme power and mercy for guiding us in the rough passage to our home." Thou hast forged us with a body of rock and a soul of fire, and by thy will, we have spread thy glory under the earth and on the earth......"

After the prayer was recited, Calvin's eyes were visibly much better at Barrett, and even with some recognition, "Are you?" he asked politely.

Barriet was secretly happy in her heart, those few rolls of bandages were worth it.

"My name is Barritt, and I'm here to help me forge two weapons. He directly stated the purpose of the trip. Dwarves don't like to go around corners when communicating, and it's more advantageous to go straight.

Calvin did not agree, nor did he refuse, but asked with some confusion, "Why do you take the prayers of our dwarves? Are you also a believer in my god?"

"Oh, not really. Although Barrett can lie without blushing or beating his heart (there are bonuses in this regard after becoming an undead), he cannot disguise himself as a true believer at all, "But although I am not a believer in the 'Soul Smith', I have a good opinion of his teachings." I had a fellow dwarven in my life, a paladin, who often sang the praises of the greatness of the Soul Forge before me, and he taught me the prayers that I remembered even after my death. ”

"Just sit down. Calvin leaned the huge hammer in his hand against the fireside, "I'm sorry I was too reckless in my previous actions, and my soul has never been at peace since I became an undead. You can tell I'm a storm dwarf, but I've been denied the ability to wield thunder and lightning by my gods, but I deserve it, and to tell you the truth, the dead shouldn't wake up, you and I do. ”
