Gonzalez took Link to the town's blacksmith shop, the owner was an uncle of his age, with a bearded face, Gonzalez stepped forward and said a few words, and the shopkeeper actually agreed to lend him the blacksmith shop.

"This is the treatment of a master blacksmith. Gonzalez beckoned to Link, "Here, I'll teach you how to identify ores." ”

Even if you have natural skills, why do you have to learn this?

"There's no harm in learning more knowledge, I'm an authentic dwarven armor, and most people just don't have a chance to learn it. Gonzalez could see Link's reluctance at a glance, and he picked up a piece of unsmelted primary ore from the side of the forge, which was dark in color and looked like coal at first glance.

"This is one of the most widespread uses of Edgar, iron ore, which is similar to that of the earth, and it is easy to identify, and the same is true of gold and silver, but there are some ores that are not found on the earth. Gonzalez pulled out a strip two fingers long and three fingers wide from the pouch he was wearing on his belt, shining silver.

"This is the Mithril mentioned in the fantasy novel, and this small strip alone is worth 1oooo gold. ”

"What?" exclaimed Link, as a fan of fantasy novels, he certainly knew how precious Mithril was in a fantasy setting, but such a large piece of metal was worth 1oooo gold and was still far beyond his acceptance. You must know that the 3o silver coins given by Birdman Hull are enough for ordinary people to pay for their living expenses for several months.

"That's just entry-level rare metals. Gonzalez pulled out another silvery-blue ingot, half the size of Mithril.

With Mithril's precedent, Link guessed that it must be Adamantite.

"That's right, it's Adamantite indeed, and it's slightly more expensive than Mithril. Gonzalez's third time pulled out the smallest ore, the size of an egg, transparent as crystal, shimmering like a diamond. More precious than Mithril and Adamantite, Link couldn't guess what.

"This is Edgar's unique crystal ore, soul energy, which is said to be the embodiment of the body of a fallen god. In addition to having a strong elemental affinity, the most precious thing is that you can change the shape at will, which is also a necessary material for making a treasure in addition to the magic spirit of fate. ”

Gonzalez carefully held what was called 'soul energy', and from his gesture, Link could tell that the egg-sized thing had little weight. The remains of fallen gods are not as rare as the elves of fate, is Edgar a world full of gods......

"Are these three so-called rare ores?"

"Of course not. ”

After Gonzalez carefully put the soul energy back, 6 continued to take out more than a dozen kinds of rough stones of different shapes from the seemingly small but surprising capacity of the cloth bag, Link showed that the color or shape of these ores was very different, but one thing was common, that is, their light, a slight fluorescence covered the surface of the body, how to look a bit like the small light emitted by the Inheritance and the Pillar of the Earth.

"In Edgar, the ore is known as the Earth's Gift, a natural substance that is allowed to be mined in large quantities by the few Natural Alliances. Since you are a child of nature, you should be able to see the difference between these stones that are nothing more than different colors in the eyes of ordinary people, right?"

Link nodded hesitantly, every stone was light, and even if it was covered with a cloth or object, a faint fluorescence would still seep through.

"Remember to carry a pickaxe on your body, maybe you can dig up soul energy. With all the ore back, Gonzalez picked up the iron ingot he had originally shown to Link and asked Link to build a weapon himself.

"Didn't you say you built it for me?"

"I'll only put the finishing touches on it, master-level artifacts aren't suitable for novices and will only put you in danger. ”

Gonzalez shoved Link to the furnace and shoved the heavy hammer into his hands.

I was wrong, this guy likes to be strong like Su Wu.

Regretful, Link threw the iron into the furnace under Gonzalez's guidance, pulled the bellows to burn the iron red, and then took it out with iron tongs and put it on the iron felt to forge it, first hammering the square iron into a round rod shape, and then stretching and widening it little by little.

From day to night, he used up his eight spell slot replenishment, and it wasn't until the next morning that Link hammered the iron out of the shape of a sword. Staying in the blacksmith all the time, he felt like he was about to be scorched by the heat of the furnace.

"For the first time, it wasn't bad. Gonzalez picked up the object that was so rough that it could only be called a piece of iron, and Link was about to complain, but he saw that the half-finished product that had not been polished had changed shape under the action of an invisible external force, and the blood groove, the blade, and the hilt of the sword were revealed one by one. In a matter of moments, the prototype of the longsword that had taken Link to forge all day turned into a real weapon.

"I've always thought of blacksmiths as forging with hammers. Link narrowed his eyes, and though he couldn't see, his perception could feel the vibrations of the air.

"This is a technique that only a master blacksmith can master, the soul hammer, the same as a mage casting spells and a priest sensing divine power. "Gonzalez handed the finished product to Link, which is what he calls 'finishing touches'. As a novice, it was certainly impossible for Link to master the craft of forging in a short period of time, and Gonzalez spent an entire day forging him with one purpose.

"Although I did the finishing touches, this sword was made by you little by little, how does it feel, I feel a sense of accomplishment to make something by myself, right?"

Link slashed a few times with his sword in both hands. There's no denying that it does feel good.

"Edgar's freedom is beyond your imagination, don't rush for quick success, seize this rare opportunity to experience the world, don't look at it with the eyes of a game, treat it as a real space, you will have another experience. Unlike Su Wu, who was desperate to find his brother, Gonzalez had always enjoyed the experience of being in the illusion with an experiential mentality, and he had persuaded Su Wu in this way, but it was not fruitful. I heard that Link's profession is to write fantasy novels (fog), and I think Link should be able to understand his point of view.

"That's right, but I also want to save people, my future brother-in-law's life and death are uncertain, I can't learn forging here leisurely. As soon as Link finished speaking, the blacksmith shop owner pushed the door in, and agreed to borrow it for a day, and the time was up.

"I'm not trying to stop you from saving people, I just want you to have more means to protect yourself. "Gonzalez originally wanted Link to learn swordsmanship again, a day in the game, but in reality it is only an hour," the novice has the danger avoidance protection given by the system, and the one you want to save has no protection. If you don't handle it well, it will bring him danger, and besides, the hilly and mountainous area is so big, you conduct a carpet search alone......"

"Nope. Link interrupted Gonzalez, "I already have a rough idea of where he is." ”

Shen Qi clearly indicated the direction, since the high level would put Yuan Ye into a greater crisis, it was only right for him to make a move as a novice.

"Well, three days, if you still don't come back after this time, then I can only risk saving you. Gonzalez held out three fingers.

After spending 1 silver coin to buy a leather scabbard from the blacksmith owner, Link made his way to the hills north of the town in the face of the rising sun. This time, he was not questioned by the guards standing guard, but Captain Scarface's eyes remained fixed on Link until he was out of his sphere of influence.

Walking north along the dry riverbed, the smooth pebbles washed by the river are very inconvenient, and for about an hour, the undulating hills suddenly seem to have been cut by a knife, revealing a bare rock wall, and a man-made hole is located at the foot of the mountain, and the boulders used to block it have been pulled out in a few pieces, revealing a black passage, which seems to be an abandoned mine.

The night before, the divine revelation named this place, just as Link was about to light a torch to go in to find out, suddenly there was a loud "bang" in the mine, and then I remembered a messy footsteps, someone came out!

Link hid in the waist-deep bushes nearby. Soon, several ragged men ran out of the mine, panicked as if there were a flood of beasts chasing after them.

Watching them run away without looking back, Link thought to himself, could it be that the mine was blown up by improper use of explosives?

Passing through the narrow hole blocked by boulders, the inside suddenly opens up, and judging from the existing wreckage, there was also a certain scale of mining in those days. The oil lamps used for lighting at the entrance were all lit, and there were a few wooden barrels against the wall, and there was no smell of alcohol, probably water. A few dirty blankets lay on the dry floor, an overturned iron pot in the middle, and the broth poured out of it doused the campfire, and the air was filled with smoke and a pungent smell of burning. Right next to the iron pot, a man was lying face down on the ground, still dragging a long-handled iron spoon in his hand, his head and upper body had been burned black.

As soon as Link took a step forward, the torches fixed to the rock wall fell to the ground, and the mine instantly became invisible. There was a slight vibration in the air, something flying towards him!

Link raised his sword and swung it in the direction he sensed it with a few crisp sounds, knocking down a few weightless objects.

With the faint light at the entrance, it is barely possible to see three or five meters around, and in this case, perception is more useful than eyes. Link quickly found the enemy hiding in the shadows, hanging upside down at the top of the cave, ten meters away from him. The moment he saw the black shadow hanging on the top, his left shoulder hurt, Link turned his head, and saw a dark dagger tied to his shoulder. In just a few seconds, the whole arm was numb, poisonous!

Regardless of whether the enemy would take advantage of this opportunity to attack, Link pulled out the dagger and meditated on the healing of nature, and the glowing white light poured into the wound from his fingertips, and the festering immediately stopped.

The black shadow on the roof of the cave rolled over and fell to the ground, so light that it didn't make a sound. He straightened up, his right arm bent over his left chest and bowed slightly, "Please forgive me for my unintentional offense, Guardian of Order and World. ”

Silver, red-eyed, and pale as a vampire, humanoid creature with the same delicate and beautiful appearance as an elf wears pitch-black leather armor and holds a delicate crossbow in its left hand.

Recognized, he actually knew that I was a child of nature?

ps: I had a cold, I accidentally took a nap, and I almost overslept. Dizzy, I always feel that something has not been written, and I will change it tomorrow......
