Chapter 2: The Blacksmith's Shop
In the middle of the summer night, the weeds blown by the night wind cause many crickets to sing, and the rising temperature makes Charlotte spit out her dry tongue. In the Eastern Far Continent, it should have already entered winter at this time, but here in the West Pole Continent, it has just entered summer, and the temperature season is completely opposite to that of the Eastern Far Continent.
In the tavern room, Charlotte took a sip of sweet milk, like rain and dew dripping into the desert, and her dry throat was instantly moistened.
Then he unfastened his cloak, threw his heavy scimitar and steel prosthetic limbs on the ground, and lay motionless on the bed.
"I'm so tired, don't do it next time. He felt every muscle twitch in his body.
In order not to alarm anyone, Charlotte jumped into the sea as she approached the harbor and swam for a full two kilometers with a heavy scimitar and steel prosthetics. Except for a lot of seaweed entangled in the middle, fortunately there were no other accidents.
For example, encountering a Warcraft version of a shark or something.
"I'm finally on the West Pole Continent. Lying on the bed, Charlotte watched the candlelight swaying in the wind.
The West Pole continent is a strange land for Charlotte. There are things about races, the hierarchy of power, and the civilization system, which Charlotte has only seen in books, and has not seen with her own eyes.
And coming to this continent is a last resort, even if Xia Luo, who has the secret treasure of the Star Creator, returns to the Eastern Far Continent before he has sufficient strength, I am afraid that he will be hunted down and killed by thousands of disciples and soldiers of the Dragon Capital Mansion.
After thinking about it for a while, I decided to go to Antarctica.
In the West Pole Continent, the power and power of the Dragon Capital Mansion are extremely difficult to fathom, and the problem of how to survive countless dangerous seas alone makes them drink a pot. Now there is absolutely enough time for Xia Luo to develop with peace of mind, and it is not too late to return to the Eastern Far Continent after gaining enough strength.
"Strength..."Of course, Charlotte knows himself very well, and it is basically difficult to improve his strength with his own body.
Do you want to develop in other directions? For example, to build and expand our strength, and to follow the flow of farming?
Aren't many of the unpowerful protagonists in the novel doing this?
But the reality is very skinny, I don't have the momentum of Wang Ba, and I don't have long-lost parents to look for, why should others listen to myself who has no strength?
And the system that I don't know to be of any use until now...
"Identification. ”
“...”
It's definitely useful, well, definitely.
"The system... Traverser..."
Perhaps, finding another traverser on this continent is the best strategy? Charlotte believes that the other party should understand her.
But how to find it? First of all, he didn't know where the other party was, and secondly, he didn't know if the other party was hiding his identity like himself. Searching for it is as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Ahh The boy scratched his dark red hair and decided not to think about it again.
After blowing out the candle, I fell asleep.
......
The next morning, as soon as the sky showed the whiteness of the fish's belly, Charlotte got up from her bed. After eating a black bread as hard as a brick and drinking a glass of milk, the whole person was refreshed.
He put on his dark red cloak, bandaged scimitar and steel prosthetic leg on his back, and walked slowly out of the tavern.
The streets were a little deserted in the early morning compared to the afternoon, and only a few pedestrians walked along the way, and white smoke gradually rose from the chimneys of the huts, as if the whole harbor had just woken up.
Charlotte looked at the small note in her hand and walked in the direction of the mercenary union.
Because of the long distance, when Charlotte arrived at her destination, the sun had fully risen, and the streets were crowded with people, making it very bustling and bustling.
In front of you is a commercial street shop, and dazzling wooden signs hang next to the street, trying to attract passers-by.
The young man carried his heavy scimitar and steel arm, and walked into the crowd under the gaze of many passers-by, turning a few street corners to a relatively remote and quiet alley.
The original bustling and crowded scene is in stark contrast to this alley. Charlotte was stunned as she turned into the alley, and double-checked the place where the note was written.
"Isn't there anything wrong? Could it be that the mercenary union is blind to me?"
With a half-believing attitude, he walked into the alley.
When the boy stopped when he walked to a shop in an alley, confirming that the name of the shop was the same as the note, Charlotte was secretly relieved.
"Hammer Blacksmith. Looks like that's right. However, the most famous blacksmith in the whole port, and a dwarf who specializes in blacksmithing, would operate in such a deserted place, it seems that the receptionist lady is right. ”
The dwarf's personality was very irritable and stubborn.
Sighing again, suppressing her uneasiness, Charlotte walked into the blacksmith's shop.
The blacksmith shop is not very large, and the display stands around it are full of all kinds of weapons and armor, although it looks a little old, but even a layman's Charlotte can see that these weapons and armor are very sophisticated and excellent.
"Well, that's. Is anyone there?"
When the boy walked slowly to the reception counter, he found a red-haired girl with pigtails lying on the counter snoring, as if she was sleeping soundly.
"Uh, sorry. He said hello, but the girl didn't wake up.
"Hello. He carefully rubbed the girl's freckled face, but still did not respond.
Eventually, Charlotte decided to amplify her moves, took a deep breath, and yelled at the girl.
"Hello!!"
"Ahh
"Grandpa?" Charlotte muttered quietly, glancing at the human maiden, "Hello, I'm here to visit the owner of this blacksmith shop. Is Anaron Anro here today?"
The red-haired girl looked at it and was relieved to find that it was not her grandfather. Sit down.
"What, is it a guest? Don't scare me. She sat down, "If you're here to buy armor or weapons, feel free to take a look." If you're looking for grandpa, please come back. ”
"Huh, why?"
"Grandpa doesn't see guests, even if the lord of the harbor comes to visit. If you don't want the bridge of your nose to be broken by a bottle, I advise you to go back as soon as possible. ”
"However, I have something very important to ask him for. Charlotte reluctantly said that he didn't want to come for nothing.
"That's what every guest who comes to see grandpa says, please go back, please come back. The girl waved her hand impatiently.
"But---"
"Didn't you hear me when I said please?!" the girl was furious, slamming her hands heavily on the table.
Charlotte was startled by the suddenly angry girl, could it be that the women of the West Pole Continent are so irritable?
"Uh, what's ---?"
"Let him in. A calm, hoarse voice rang out from inside the smithy.
"Ah, grandpa?" the girl looked at the doorway leading to the interior in surprise.
"I can smell that damn sulfur powder from here, let him in!"
"Yes! right away!" the red-haired girl nodded slightly to Charlotte and pushed open the wooden door, "Please follow me." ”
Charlotte shook her head helplessly and followed the girl behind the wooden door.
