Chapter XII

Loki listened to the old dwarf's guidance, and for almost an hour, his head was already sweating like rain, and his two lean arms didn't feel like his own, and he was almost tired and couldn't lift his hands.

The repeated folding and forging of the claw knife was complete, and the old dwarf pointed to the liquid in a large water tank.

"Do you know what to do next? Quench, look at this water tank, inside the exclusive secret recipe of Hammer Daddy. ”

"It contains four kinds of animal fat, half and half mixed with water and stirred well......"

The old dwarf looked at the half-elf boy who was listening carefully, and said loudly, "The secret recipe for quenching oil is not something you should know. ”

"What are you waiting for, that's your weapon. Put it in and quench it, hurry. ”

Loki clenched the big iron tongs with his slightly trembling hands, and the half-finished claw knife was still in a reddish and hot state, and when it touched the liquid in the tank, it instantly stirred up a burst of white mist.

The old dwarf nodded, "That's it, look at that, what a wonderful quenching oil!"

Loki, who heard this, also nodded decently and said yes.

"I have to admit that you work hard, half-elf imp, although you can't be a blacksmith. ”

The old dwarf looked at Loki and said with satisfaction, "But I am very optimistic about you, you have the talent to become a blacksmith's apprentice." Well, that's right, when you grow up, you will definitely become a qualified blacksmith apprentice!"

Loki nodded, looking sincere, "I'm honored, Hammer Daddy." ”

"Well, then don't be your little beggar, and look at how thin you are. Come and apprentice with me, no one will discriminate against your half-elf status here. Morin, bring me something to eat!"

Hearing the old dwarf's command, Morin, the teenage apprentice in the store just now, took the food and put it on the small table in front of Loki.

"Look, this is authentic highland goat's milk, this is goat's milk cheese, and some bread, how did you eat it all? It's the two of us............"

The half-elf boy patted his stomach gently, although the old dwarf did not provide a lot of food, but this was the first time he had eaten so delicious and warm since he came to this world, and he couldn't help but feel a little grateful in his heart.

Loki thought about it, and he still said tactfully: "Hammer Daddy, thank you for your food, I need a few days to think about it." ”

The old dwarf thought that the half-elf boy had agreed in his heart, and clapped his hands happily: "Okay, now that I've eaten, let me tell you how to sharpen the blade more sharply." ”

............

It wasn't until the afternoon that Loki left the Hammer Daddy weapon shop with two tactical claw knives that he had built.

Before leaving, the old dwarf gave him a small gift, a sturdy belt of animal skin.

Loki usually has this belt will be much more convenient, the back waist can be fixed the scabbard of the claw knife, because the claw knife is relatively short, the hem of the jacket can be easily covered and hidden, when needed, as long as both hands touch the back waist, you can take out the tactical claw knife in the fastest time.

The old dwarf wants Loki to get out of his beggar status and become his full-time apprentice, Loki is of course a little moved, knowing that beggars all have the most miserable lives, and of course he doesn't want to be miserable forever.

But think about Daddy Hammer's ordinary dwarven craftsman background, and physical attributes, strength: 1.9, agility: 0.7, physique: 1.1, on the whole, it is not as high as Quaid of the Black Street Brotherhood, not to mention that there are some bigger gangsters with strength above Quaid.

Leaving the beggar to become a blacksmith apprentice would undoubtedly bring great danger to himself and the old dwarf, and Loki had already rejected this idea in his heart.

The fierce midday sun finally dispelled the mist above the fog castle, and the whole sky made people feel more open.

Loki walked along the greystone road for a while, and finally reached the circus in the city square.

The circus show has been held for a few days, but every day the show has a new twist, so the number of people watching has not decreased, and the flow of people has always been endless.

Loki's walk was very fast, and after touching a few money bags outside, he barely stopped, and walked to the door of the ticket sale, and honestly bought the ticket before entering.

The circus was still crowded next to each other, but it didn't bother the skinny Loki, who made his way through the crowd, and soon he saw what he was looking for in a performance area.

The female dwarf Olivia was still neatly dressed, her blonde hair was combed back into several beautiful braids, and if it weren't for her short height, her whole appearance would be the image of a human girl.

Loki noticed that her performance was different, not the thrilling throwing knife show of the previous day, but a acrobatic-like one.

I saw that the female dwarf first used her fingers to nimbly fiddle with a dagger, and the dagger flew flexibly in her small palm, and then she added another dagger, and the two daggers were nimble between her fingers to the two butterflies.

The crowd almost held their breath as they watched as she added four daggers to each hand, and the glittering blades still danced flexibly.

As the crowd cheered, she suddenly threw all of her daggers into the air at the same time, performing a similar catch-and-catch acrobatic at the same time as the short blade fell. One by one, sharp daggers were thrown by her in various tricks, and from time to time the difficulty of the action was increased.

Loki also watched intently, although it was not a novel acrobatics, but at this level of difficulty of a female dwarf, it was undoubtedly very eye-catching.

After a while, the dwarf's wonderful performance was over, and soon she disappeared from the stage, and in about ten minutes there would be a magic show.

Looking at the small aisle leading to the backstage, there are many people at the door, and it is not suitable to meet the female dwarf now.

Loki was about to wait a little longer after watching the show, but before he could see it, a familiar figure approached him.

"Hey, half-elf imp, Loki, that's your name, right?"

It was Duncan, a minotaur more than two meters tall, with horns raised in the sky, looking down at Loki with a big face and asking.

Loki frowned, bowed his head slightly vigilantly, and thought for a moment before answering yes.

"That's right, Olivia wants to see you, come with me. With that, the minotaur lifted the half-elf boy's collar with one of his hands, and walked towards the circus tent.

Halfway through, Duncan's footsteps paused, and then he said as if remembering something, "By the way, I remembered, Loki?"

Loki was being held in one hand, and his whole body and mind were uncomfortable, "What are you talking about?"

The Minotaur fumbled through his trouser pocket for a long time, and then he pulled out a crumpled hat, which was a dark green octagonal hat.

"This should be yours, give it back to you!"

After the minotaur finished speaking, he directly buttoned his hat on the head of the half-elf boy.
