Chapter 16: Strange Things

CHAPTER XVI

Jamie instructed a beggar to bring Quaid to him, but the beggar was too scared to go, and then he ran to wake him up with a bold beggar. After a while, Quaid came over in a bad mood after a hangover.

Quaid stepped forward with a curse, he kicked the corpse without hesitation, as if to confirm whether it was dead, and then crouched down and carefully fiddled with the beggar's corpse, he reached into the cross-shaped opening in the corpse's abdomen, and carefully dug into it for a while.

Seeing this, the beggars around them looked even more frightened, and with Quaid's grim gaze as he turned his head, they unconsciously stepped backwards.

Quaid grabbed the nearest beggar, who cried out in fright, "Don't kill me, don't kill me." ”

Quaid suddenly laughed with a twist on his face, and he punched the beggar in the face, "You think I did it, did you say I did it?" ”

The beggar was beaten to his death, and Jamie had to step forward to stop him, "Quaid, stop, he's going to die." ”

"That's right, let these little cubs see how I kill people, I'm going to break you little by little, break your bones little by little, that's my Quaid's way, not empty his belly. ”

Quaid kicked the beggar who was beaten beyond recognition, "What's more, you little cubs' internal organs stink to death, how much are they worth?"

"As for this dead little cub on the ground, he must have run out at night to find food, and was slaughtered by someone, damn it's really unlucky. ”

Quaid then said to Jamie, "Find some little cubs, bury the bodies, and let them keep their mouths shut, or I'll cut off their little tongues with a knife." ”

......

Loki's heart is full of coldness, fate is like this, from time to time it will show tragedy in front of you, and the most terrible thing is that you are powerless to resist and struggle.

His pace quickened a few more times, the hunger in his stomach was like a fire, he didn't plan to stay in the chaotic dilapidated house for long, and went straight to the Hammer Weapon Store without eating.

"Half-elf bastard, eat slowly, eat slowly, you can eat before you work. ”

The old dwarf still looked like he was hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, and the big white beard was grabbing breakfast on the table with Loki.

After drinking a small pot of goat's milk, Loki touched his mouth and finally stopped, "Hammer Daddy, are you ready for that shrunken arm crossbow?"

"It's still early, the other human apprentices are so clumsy that I can only polish the parts little by little, and I don't have more than you doing, it will take at least a month to complete it. ”

Loki quickly put away the dishes and said quickly, "I'm here, I can save you more effort." ”

The hustle and bustle of the blacksmith's hut soon began.

Under the stunned gaze of the old dwarf, from jerky to unusually skilled, Loki showed extraordinary talent.

The half-elf boy was far less powerful than the average blacksmith, and he was not physically strong enough to continuously swing the hammer to forge steel, but in other aspects, the half-elf boy quickly performed unusually, such as assisting in the process, making small objects, or grinding parts.

It only took him less than a morning to become the best assistant of the old brute hammer, and at the same time, the half-elf boy polished the parts to the same size, and some of the actions behind it were almost like copying the old dwarf.

To say that, Loki's visual image function certainly contributes the most.

The retina always marks a clear row of numbers on any object and assists in image recording and analysis. In addition, he not only used his ears to record the experience of the old dwarf's mouth, but also used his eyes like a perfect replicator to collect and analyze the old dwarf's movements.

"Ultron, do a good job of collecting tactile data on the epidermis of your hands, and remind me when the tactile function is optimized. ”

"Execution, Master, is expected to be 69%, and it is expected to be completed in two days. ”

The old dwarf was right in what he had said before, Loki did have the talent of an apprentice blacksmith, and his diligence greatly reduced Daddy Hammer's workload.

Of course, the quantum biological computer is not flawless, the half-elf boy is a novice after all, even if the image number system assistance is greater, it is not as good as the old dwarf who has been a blacksmith for nearly a hundred years, and there are mistakes in it, with the help of the old dwarf, Loki quickly remembered the essentials and changed it.

During the lunch break, the old dwarf took a sip of rum and laughed loudly: "What I said, half-elf boy, you will indeed become the best apprentice, if you practice a lot of strength, it is not impossible to become a blacksmith." ”

The general lifespan of dwarves is about two hundred years, according to his other apprentices, Daddy Hammer is about one hundred and fifty years old, and his body is good for ordinary dwarves of the same grade, but he can't help the anesthesia of strong wine, and after drinking two large pots happily, he falls asleep deeply, and snores loudly.

Loki is grinding metal parts with a file little by little, and the smaller version of the arm crossbow multiplies the complexity of the process, each of which must be flawless, and some parts with high load-bearing strength are also more demanding, and if you are not careful, it will become a scrap.

Not only does there be a digital scale on the retina, but after further analysis and reasoning by Ultron, this miniature version of the arm crossbow still has room for optimization, some parts can be placed more reasonably, and can reduce the chance of jamming when the arm crossbow is used.

In the past, Loki's hands-on ability was mediocre, and he was not very interested in some online technical materials, but at least he had seen some videos of crossbows, and the arc-shaped arms and bowstrings of ordinary crossbows were the most important, which directly determined the stability, accuracy, and power of shooting crossbow arrows.

The bowstring of the arm crossbow is made of sun-dried animal tendons, the importance of which the old brute hammer has specially explained, Loki also did it very seriously, wiped a handful of sweat beads on his forehead, I have to admit that this is a very complicated and boring work, he tore off the dry animal tendons little by little, and then the two strands are braided and kneaded together, and so on and so on......

In the afternoon, the sun was as hot as fire, and the fog in the sky of Fog Castle City cleared, revealing a clear blue and scorching heat.

After the basic preparation of the bowstring in his hand was done, the old dwarf was needed to soak it in grease later, looking at the hammer daddy who was still sleeping and snoring, Loki stretched his waist, gently pushed the door open and left.

The afternoon circus was also overcrowded, but Olivia, the female dwarf, was not here, and Loki quietly circled the circus booth, except for the performers or busy people, only the Minotaur stayed in the room, and he was looking through the pile of written papyrus on the table.

Loki's eyes swept quickly, and without looking closely, the retinal images immediately showed some information, these papyrus were some different church tracts, which would be printed with some content of the Holy Gospel, and there might also be some critical matters or other church texts.

Duncan the Minotaur looked up and found Loki, and said impatiently: "Half-elf imp, why are you here again, but you are here by mistake, the head of the regiment is not here today." ”
