Dwarves are the most passionate about minerals and have been exposed to this knowledge since childhood, and they are born miners and blacksmiths.

Pigou Brutehammer smashed the ore, and after a little analysis, he got a more disappointing answer.

Iron is indeed present in the ore, but it is very low and of little mining value.

What's more, the location of the Burning Wood Forest is too remote, so the idea can only be put on hold for the time being.

A human blacksmith takes the cooled crossbow arm and sharpens the burrs with an iron hammer, and different craftsmen are responsible for different processes, and the most attentive craftsmen are usually responsible for the overall assembly.

Although the scale of the assembly line is small, the efficiency of the steel crossbow with uncomplicated parts is much higher than before.

The dwarven Pigou is in charge of overseeing the work, and the assembled steel crossbow will be marked by him with a row of light word marks, called the Elven Praetorian Guard.

It was almost dark and after a sumptuous dinner, and the hired blacksmiths and apprentices left happily.

Little Fatuna clutched her full stomach and rested next to Loki, talking from time to time about the potion preparation knowledge she had learned during the day.

Because of her natural stealth skills, little Fatuna is often transparent when she doesn't speak in the pharmacy, and she usually doesn't want to communicate with people she doesn't know.

So if I hold my stomach for a while, every day the little girl comes back to talk about it.

For so many days, Loki was almost half an apothecary apprentice.

Pigou the dwarf stepped out of the shop, holding a round shield and a one-handed sword.

Although the weapon style is ordinary, if you look closely, they are all dwarven Seiko items.

"I looked for a long time, it was all built a few years ago, and although it has never been sold, it is absolutely sturdy and durable. ”

Loki took the weapon and examined it carefully.

The one-handed longsword is well maintained, without a trace of rust and wear, and there is an arc-shaped blood groove in the middle of the weapon, which is indeed in line with the sturdy characteristics of the dwarves to build weapons.

The round shield is made of iron shirt wood skin, although the durability is not as good as the iron shield, but the weight is much lighter, which is very suitable for adventurers on the go.

His left hand is very good for holding a shield, and his defensive block mostly uses the strength of his whole arm, which will hide the weakness of his left hand's grip.

But it can't be limited by the dominant hand, Loki is familiar with weapons for a while, and his left and right hands are constantly exchanged.

Memory images during the day generate a three-dimensional dynamic model in the brain, and spatial vision can be viewed from all angles with consciousness zoomed in and out.

He had already learned a few simple movements that he had mastered in order to warm up skillfully and at the same time continuously form muscle memory in his body.

After that, it is a virtual battle with an 'autonomous dynamic model' to replace the usual physical training.

The opponent is the militia 'autonomous 3D model' set yesterday, fifteen monotonous elite enemies, each of which is fearless and agile to besiege him.

On the side, the dwarf and little Fatuna widened their eyes in bewilderment.

Watching the half-elf alone dodge and block frantically, while waving a one-handed sword into the air.

Sometimes, as if he was injured, he threw a round shield and rolled on the ground with his arms covered.

My brother can't be sick. Little Fatuna crossed her fingers, anxiously recalling some of the illnesses that the pharmacy teacher had talked about.

After a long time, Loki stopped panting, the round shield fell to the side, and the sword of the counterattack remained firmly in his hand.

The optic nerve image was dark red, and if this was the standard, he had more than a dozen minor injuries on his body, and fatal injuries to the carotid artery and waist.

The game ended in defeat......

Little Fatuna took a dry cloth towel and hurriedly ran over to help wipe her sweat, and from time to time carefully examined her brother's face, tongue and other features.

The dwarf Pigou handed over a flask and said that if there was nothing to do, just take a sip of rum.

Loki smiled, using the excuse of practicing basic sword and shield weapon skills to reassure the two of them not to worry.

The difficulty of the 'autonomous dynamic model' is basically similar, and yesterday it ended up winning normally, but today it lost badly.

The main reason is that he has not mastered the sword and shield weapons enough, and he has not learned many movements. Although the blocking defense is much stronger, the lethality is far less than the familiar basic high-level dagger specialization.

Basic Skill: Sword and Shield Mastery 12.5% Perfection.

This is a rough estimate of a series of complex numbers compared to the dagger's specialization skills and the mastery of basic movements, which can only serve as a temporary reference.

In addition, in the memory store, some one-handed sword movement skills used by the opponent when fighting against the trainer are also decomposed.

Although most of them are not available for him to practice for the time being, a small number of them have great imitation value, and if they are learned skillfully, the perfection of the sword and shield specialization will increase a lot.

......

In the early morning of the next day, little Fatuna, who had just gotten up early in the morning, came to the door with a few familiar figures who had visited.

He was dressed in a white sacrificial robe decorated with silver threads, his hair was brown and black, his appearance was beautiful, and his eyes were calm and gentle.

It was Penny, the priestess of the Silver Flame Church, and behind her, she was escorted by several knights.

Loki packed up the one-handed sword of the round shield and asked a little knowingly, "Hello, Penny Sacrifice." ”

"Coming to the weapons store so early and not opening yet, is there something wrong with you?"

Penny glanced at the scattered surroundings, a few lathes and a pile of tools and parts randomly placed in the courtyard, and then she looked at the half-elf, and said in a somewhat cold tone.

"Mr. Loki, you should have come to me!"

"Because you didn't keep your promise to come to church again for treatment, I had to go through the trouble of asking where you were living and going to your door to help you dispel the whispering curse, and you didn't even have basic etiquette......"

Loki couldn't help but be stunned, glanced at the knightly guards around him, and wisely put down his work and invited them into the house to sit down.

Penny said directly, "Please find a clean room, I want to examine your cursed wound." ”

Loki frowned, the black-streaked curse on the other arms was almost gone.

However, it may not be convenient to explain here, so he went to his bedroom with little Fatuna.

It's the cleanest place in the Hammer Weapons Shop.

Penny's expression was serious, and she examined the cursed scar officially, and only a trace of black remained on her arm, and the rest was almost gone.

"Recovery so fast, can a constitution that resists the curse decompose and dispel the curse on its own?"

The priestess frowned slightly, but did not explain anything in detail, and then she recited a magic technique to dispel the curse.

A warm white light flashed, and the last bit of radioactive black silk on the half-elf's arm disappeared.

Loki looked at a looping notebook program in his brain, and the original inducing curse text was completely rested.

For this silent curse without the slightest threat, the half-elf had to pay two more gold coins and maintain a certain courtesy to the clergy.
