Chapter Twenty-Four: The Genius Blacksmith's Skill
In the end, Daddy still couldn't bear to add any terrible buff to Hiko. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info In this regard, Hiko's understanding is that the old man must still have inventory that he doesn't know, otherwise it would never be possible to be so kind. For example, the old man would let him go with a good heart, and he didn't think about it at all.
From being forced into child labor since he could wield a hammer, he has seen through the evil nature of the Nord nation. They don't even know what it means to love children. So it's really better to count on those things that don't exist than to practice them a little more effectively.
Anyway, it's a good thing to be able to avoid being beaten. With this sense of rejoicing, Hiko quickly finished his breakfast and began to pack up the rest of his things.
After eating and drinking, Dad took out a pipe from his body, and then took out the best tobacco from Char, the hometown of the halfling. Seeing this, Hiko immediately leaned up very doggedly, and while carefully pinching out a small section of fireworks from the fire pit, he came to his father. He said with a smirk.
"Daddy, when do you think we're going to start training? ”
Lit the cigarette in his hand, Dad squinted his eyes and took two puffs of cigarette with a very comfortable smile, and then said to Yan with a look of smiling rather than smiling.
"What, stinky boy. Are your injuries almost healed?"
"If you start cultivating, I don't think there's a problem. But if I'm to start working, I'll take two more days off. ”
His eyes quickly swept over the furnace in the front room, and Hiko said this selectively to his father. And looking at his child's slick appearance, the father directly slapped him on the head, and then scolded with a smile.
"Your personality is exactly like your mother. If I don't cultivate today, I don't need you to help me strike iron. I'll give you a little task to clean up the room next to you. We have guests coming in a while. ”
"What, guest?" Upon hearing this, Yan suddenly became a little confused. "Seriously, if I hadn't lured a bear over, I guess I wouldn't have any grass to eat except bread. There are still guests coming. Is he stupid? Or is someone worse than us?"
"Shut up and get to work!" another slap to the back of Hiko's head, Daddy stood up and stretched, then walked towards the front hall with heavy steps amid the sound of crackling bones. "As for what the guest is, you'll find out tomorrow. ”
"Coming tomorrow?" Hiko, who never remembered the pain, touched the back of his head and whispered to his father's back. "How miserable it is, to be so eager to drill into such a poor place. By the way, old man, you haven't told me how many people are coming?"
......
Anyway, I got a reply from only one person. Yan shook his arms and went into a small room next to his room. As is customary for the Nords, the cottage itself is for guests. The Nords' naturally heroic nature allows them to welcome any guest of goodwill, provided that you are brave or intelligent enough to be recognized by the Nords.
And for some special reasons, this guest room in Hiko's house has hardly been used. In other words, they hardly have any guests in this house. If it weren't for the fact that his father took Hikoko to buy something across the sea every year or two, sometimes Hiko's would wonder if his family was the kind of lonely family with quirks and no one he even knew.
Because there have never been guests, this guest room is almost used to pile up the miscellaneous items of the father and son. And it's not easy to pack these things.
After working for most of the day, Yan packed up his things. And look at Daddy's heavy equipment and armor. He could only sigh and continue to play the role of a porter.
About Daddy's clutter, most of them are his failures. And the reason why there are so many failures is entirely because Daddy is a very creative blacksmith. Why is it said that Daddy is a creative blacksmith? That's because, by Hiko's standards, if Daddy was born on Earth, then he would definitely be qualified to be a professor of human mechanics and mechanics. What he studied was too far ahead of his time for the blacksmiths of this world. Especially when 90 percent of the blacksmiths were still beating farm tools and repairing swords, his skill was even more prominent.
It can be said that since Hiko started working as a coolie for his father, he has found that his father has been trying to do a very remarkable thing, that is, he is going to build himself a special steel arm. A steel prosthetic that works perfectly with his musculoskeletal function, perfectly adapted to his body.
This technology has been a project that has not yet been realized on the earth where Hikoko lived in his previous life, but now, in the hands of his father, it has become a project that is about to be completed. So far, Daddy has built many of these arms, many of which can help people with disabilities complete basic life. It's just that these things are still a gap from what Daddy envisioned, so they were all treated as waste by Daddy and thrown here.
This made Yan have to admire his father's genius qualifications in this area, but at the same time, he also had to complain about another thing, that is, these arms are really heavi.
After wasting all the effort, Hiko was able to clean out the guest room completely. And after a brief cleaning, he rubbed his somewhat sore arms and went to the fire to pour himself a cup of hot strong tea.
Like the nomads of the world in their previous lives, the Nords live in this cold world, and they rarely produce any vegetables and fruits. The Nords, whose main food source is meat and bread, will inevitably experience some physical discomfort.
Most Nords are used to this, but not Hiko. Anything else, the greasy smell and nausea of eating too much meat made him want to gnaw on the bark for a while. And in order to cope with this fateful feeling, Hiko found a special shrub on the Arest Ice Sheet after several attempts.
This shrub has oval-shaped, sawn-edged leaves, sharp hedgehog-like needles, and produces a very small fruit. It can be found almost everywhere in the Arest Icefield, and with the exception of snow hares, few animals are willing to eat the leaves and fruits of this plant. And it is this shrub called snow thorn that gives Hiko hope for life.
The leaves of snow thorn have a special cooling sensation when chewed raw, like mint, but much more intense than mint. When you put it in hot water, it will immediately fill the hot water with a cool, spicy, rich aroma. The fruit of snow thorn can be brewed directly in hot water after dry frying, and the taste is richer and more mellow than that of good coffee.
And it is with these two cool and mellow drinks that Hiko was able to survive such a long period of desolation, while tirelessly pursuing the road of meat eaters. Not only him, but even Daddy, a purebred Nord, has become accustomed to the feeling of taking a sip of snow thorn tea when he has nothing to do.
It can be said that if it weren't for the fact that Arest was so desolate that even the transaction would have to be done by bartering. Hikoko had long planned to create his millionaire dream with this new drink. But of course, now everything is just under the onset of lazy cancer.
The spicy and refreshing snow thorn tea went down, and Yan suddenly felt that he had a little more firepower. And looking at the fact that there was still more than half a pot of snow thorn tea, he carried the teapot and came directly to the front hall.
At this time, Daddy was sweating in front of the fire, constantly beating the almost red metal that had been set in front of him with his only remaining strong arm. Under his heavy force, the metal changed little by little into what he wanted, an arm of steel that was almost identical to his arm.
Seeing that the work in his hand had achieved his requirements, Dad threw the hammer directly and reached out to hold the metal that was still red.
The deep blue flame flowed on the metal like flowing water, and in the scorching mist that rose, the crimson color quickly faded into the dark blue of the Areste's specialty glacial iron. And when the metal arm cooled down, Dad stepped in and pressed the arm directly on his arm.
At this time, the father was shirtless, and there was a piece of what seemed to be a shoulder pad fixed on the shoulder-length position. When he inserted the metal arm that had just cooled down into the shoulder pads, Hiko immediately heard a dense sound of clinking. It was as if gears were snapping together, and the metal arm was rigidly bound together by the mechanism inside the shoulder guard in the blink of an eye.
And when the shoulder pad, which was almost attached to the muscles of Daddy's body, completed this kind of operation, Daddy immediately began to carry out the attempt that he had repeated countless times.
The arms are raised, stretched, and tightly packed with shoulder pads that can feel the tremor of almost every muscle in Daddy's body, and with this tremor, all the intention of movement is faithfully reflected on the arm that has just been installed. Even the fingers at the end of the arm are beating one by one like playing a harp.
Such a magical scene made Yan suddenly feel overjoyed, he couldn't help the excitement in his heart, and couldn't wait to say to his father.
"Daddy, did you succeed?"
Shaking his head, a burst of dark blue aura suddenly appeared on Daddy's body, and as soon as this aura surged, the junction of the steel arm, as well as the position of the elbow and wrist, suddenly began to make a series of ugly clicking sounds. And with the sudden rise of arrogance, the whole arm immediately froze to death in a crisp sound. Obviously, it doesn't work anymore.
And for this kind of work, Daddy directly pulled it, and the entire steel arm was torn into two pieces. Then he said to Hiko.
"I still can't adapt to the explosion of my strength, and this kind of work is still lacking. Maybe it's going to take a little more training. ”
"Okay!" Looking at his father's movements, Hikoya shook his head helplessly. In his opinion, it was perfect enough. It's a pity that in the face of a true perfectionist, something of this magnitude is still just a fragment. And what Yan doesn't understand is, what is Daddy trying to build such a perfect thing for?
