Roshi's mouth opened wide, he didn't shake his senses for a while, he didn't know how to sigh at the miracle of fate, he went around in a big circle, and finally returned to the original point.

If you think about it, when I went to Master Kimor, he did have a lot of apprentices there, and one of them looked silly-looking and had a face that did look a little similar to the old Hawke in front of him...

According to Old Hawke, when he went to find Kimor to forge Frost Sorrow, he had asked Kimor to reserve some strange lines in a few places on the sword body, which were actually specially left by Roshi to facilitate his subsequent enchantment.

However, Kimmor felt very strange about this request at the beginning, so he turned back and used rubbings to record those lines when he was forging, and after some painstaking research, Kimmor accidentally found that these lines seemed to have some special connection with matter, and created a nine-layer steel forging method on the basis of this pattern.

“... I was a child, and I still vividly remember the wizard, an ordinary-looking old man, patiently explaining to my teacher what the lines looked like. ”

Looking at Old Hawke's wistful look, Roshi didn't know whether to tell him whether to tell him that the strange old man was actually me, yes, yes, it was me with fine skin and tender meat...

"That sword, you haven't seen it, it looks very strange, its hilt looks like a demon, it has two long horns, and a hideous face, it looks ugly. ”

Difficult... Unsightly!!!?

What kind of eyes? Damn, that's frost sorrow! Roshi seriously doubted the old Hawke's aesthetic views, and had no taste at all.

"My mentor once asked the wizard why he made it into such a shape, after all, there are so many gorgeous weapon appearances in this world, guess what he said? You would never have imagined it!" Old Hawk turned suddenly, and his words were full of smuggness.

Luo Xi breathed a sigh of relief: "I like it!"

Thanks to the special function of forgetting, Roshi will basically never forget what he has experienced.

Old Hawke was stunned for a moment, then smiled casually: "Yes! The wizard said the same thing back then! And indirectly, this sentence also affected me for the rest of my life." ”

Roshi looked dazed.

Then he heard Old Hawk speak.

"Ever since I forcibly used the nine-layer steel forging method to make weapons, which resulted in the destruction of my hands, it has been difficult for me to make a good weapon, and as you can see, my blacksmith shop can be described as dilapidated compared to other blacksmith shops. Old Hawke said slowly

"But the blacksmith's business is not bad because of my hands, after all, I am still a student of Master Kimore, and by this title alone I can recruit many apprentices to work for me, like the students of several other teachers. ”

After a pause, he shook his head: "It's just that those are not what I want, glory, wealth, gold, silver and jewelry? Maybe you don't know, I was born into a noble family, and I have seen all these things when I was very young." ”

Hearing this, Roshi's eyes couldn't help but widen, it was the first time he heard old Hawke talk about the past, and what he didn't expect was that he was still born into an aristocratic family.

"Then why are you..."Roshi couldn't help but ask

"Why became a blacksmith?" said old Hawke, sneering

The evening breeze came through the window, lifting his already pale hair, at this age, especially the perennial high-intensity bending iron, his body has been stiff, but at this time standing in the evening breeze he has a peaceful smile on his face, and there is still a little childish innocence in it.

He said, "I like it!"

After a pause, he laughed, as happy as a child:

"Since I was a child, I've been interested in hammers, I love to hear the sound of them hitting the iron, it's like the most beautiful music in the world, and I really enjoy using a hammer to polish a piece of iron into what I want it to be, and for me, that moment feels like nothing else in the world. ”

"That's why, as bad as I've had all these years, and as I have been, I've been too extreme, but personally, I don't care, because there's nothing in the world that can replace the pleasure of forging weapons. ”

Standing in the wind, the rough-looking old man uttered something very profound: "It is said in the holy scriptures that we have come from darkness and will one day return to darkness, and the only thing we can do during this limited journey is to go with our hearts, after all, there is light in it!"

Old Hawke finally said: "If people are alive, if they can't do what they want to do, then what's the point of living?"

Early in the morning, the sun rises as usual.

The peasants carried their hoes to the ridges and began their day's work, and when the sun was up, they came back from the fields in twos and threes.

In the afternoon, you may go to the fields to tinker with the fields, or stay at home to fix a leaky roof, or bask in the sun in the yard, and in the evening, the whole family has dinner together, and you can take your partner or your children out for a walk and the evening breeze.

From the perspective of modern people, people here are stupid, and they don't want to think about how to earn money to improve their lives when they have this time.

It's just that the humanistic ideas of this era are still relatively backward, there is no information network, there is no bright lights, and it is difficult for ordinary poor people to get in touch with the life of the aristocratic class, and the only problem they need to face is actually to fill their stomachs.

And to Allen's blessing, the tax policy of the Puru Kingdom is not very high, even in the years of famine, the matter of filling the stomach can basically be satisfied.

If you don't compare, you won't think, and if you can't think, you won't have much desire, and small desires seem to be the theme of this era.

A month later, Luo Xi successfully mastered the nine-layer steel forging method, and used it to forge the first weapon, the style is also a big sword, because it is an early test product, using meteorite steel, but this is also a relatively good material in the mortal world, hardness, toughness is very high in all aspects, and it is provided free of charge by the nobles who came to visit.

As for the big sword Luo Xi placed in the center of gravity, he decided to practice a few more times before forging, after all, he only had one elemental stone egg, and it was too late to cry if he messed up.

In addition, Roshi also has an idea, that is, he wants to forge a more complex and disassembled big sword, and combine the star dagger and invisible dagger in his hand into one, just like Claude's, carrying Dora wind.

However, this requires a high level of mechanical craftsmanship, and it is estimated that it is somewhat difficult according to the current level of forging in this era.

Now what caught Roshi's attention was another piece of news, a piece of news that caused a sensation in the entire Eiffel City.

A few days ago, a man came to Eiffel City, a wizard, and this wizard came here to recruit a few knights.

And what caught Roshi's attention was the purpose of the wizard to recruit knights, a purpose that surprised him, but was very interested...
