When he arrived at the blacksmith shop, Ye Ziqing heard the noise inside, and when he went in, he saw that Tie Fan was busy packing up the weapons and equipment in the warehouse, and he also saw several apprentice-like people busy carrying them together.

"Grandpa Tiefan, I'm back!"

Tie Fan stopped what he was doing, stretched his old waist and asked, "Ling Ziqing, are you back so soon?" Got all the materials? And why did the village chief start preparing weapons and equipment? ”

"Don't worry about anything else for now, Grandpa Tie Fan, please take a look at these materials first, can they be used?" After Ye Ziqing finished speaking, he walked to the open space outside the warehouse, and Grandpa Tie Fan also went outside. The leaves waved towards the ground, and two huge crystal clear scales flashed on the ground, which were refracted with beautiful brilliance by the sunlight.

"Can these two scales be processed?"

Tie Fan stepped forward to look at the two shining scales, and just wanted to reach out and touch them, he found that he was still wearing dirty gloves at work, quickly took them off and threw them on the ground, slowly and carefully stroking and observing, for fear of breaking them.

"Could it be that this is the scales of the white-scaled python?" Tie Fan said in an incredulous tone. Ye Ziqing nodded, and Tie Fan continued: "My good man, where did you get it from?" This is a priceless treasure! You're not going to take it off that python, are you? Tie Fan really paid attention to the young man in front of him at this time, and began to observe him with a scrutinizing gaze.

Ye Ziqing looked at Tie Fan staring at him a little embarrassed, and said humbly: "Grandpa Tie Fan is just a junior who is lucky. ”

Tie Fan laughed a few times and said, "I remember that you wanted to make boxing gloves before, right, this scale is completely competent." ”

"Well... I don't want to make gloves right now, I want to build gauntlets. ”

"Gauntlets?"

"The fist glove is a weapon with a hand, and the gauntlet is a weapon that wraps the entire arm and carries it on the arm, which can be used as a weapon and as a shield to resist damage."

"Interesting, this weapon is kind of interesting, and this weapon? It seems that I am still unheard, but according to what you said, if you think about it, the gauntlet must not only have attack power but also have a certain defensive ability, and the weight is far greater than that of the fist gauntlet, and there is no ore in our village that is light and has a certain degree of hardness. Are you sure you can use this weapon called gauntlets? ”

After listening, Ye Ziqing waved his hand to the ground again, only to see a one-meter-high ore with a faint silver luster appear in the clearing.

"What? Thai Crystal? I haven't seen it in years!" After Tie Fan finished speaking excitedly, he quickly went up to look at the ore and said, "The purity is still so high?" What a rarity! What the hell did you do? ”

"It's just the luck of the juniors."

Tie Fan thought in his heart: This unattractive kid was first valued by the village chief and then taken in by the old monster, and now he has obtained these extremely precious materials, it seems that this kid is not simple. Tie Fan put away his surprised and incredulous tone, and said seriously, "You don't seem to have answered my previous question, I think you should know what I mean." ”

When Ye Ziqing heard this, he changed his previous relaxed atmosphere and said seriously: "Because there is going to be a war, I have to fight to the death with the snake clan..."

"Why should I trust you as an outsider?"

Ye Ziqing heard Grandpa Tie Fan say this and thought: Yes, they can trust me for the village chief and master, but why should other people in the village trust you, you outsider. In my mind, I kept recalling what I had seen, thought, heard and heard in the village in the past two days.

After thinking for a long time, he looked at Grandpa Tie Fan's eyes and said with great firmness: "Because I want to help the village." ”

"Just you?"

"It's not me, it's everyone, it's us who are here to help the village. Since I came to this village, I have been receiving help from the village. Although I have only been in the village for a short time, I can clearly feel happy, it is completely different from the cold world, everyone helps each other without any trouble, which makes me feel the urge to protect it. Maybe it's something I want to crave, so I want to protect it. I know that I, an outsider, are not worthy of your trust, and I know that this plan may cause a lot of casualties, but I still ask you, please trust me Ling Ziqing, I really want to help the village. After speaking, Ye Ziqing quickly bowed 30 degrees, lowered his head and closed his eyes, quietly waiting for Grandpa Tie Fan to reply.

Tie Fan watched the corners of Ye Ziqing's mouth rise slightly, patted Ye Ziqing on the shoulder and laughed.

"You young people can't help but be funny, mother-in-law. Don't we believe the village chief? He recognizes you as his relative, and we are naturally a family!"

Hearing this, Ye Ziqing quickly raised his head and saw Grandpa Tie Fan's face full of smiles, looking at himself with trust, he felt a little comfort in his heart, and said with a smile: "Thank you!" ”

Tie Fan immediately pulled Ye Ziqing into his workshop, began to measure Ye Ziqing's body and strength, and the two of them began to study and design the gibbon together, Tie Fan said: "Your design is too thin and has no defense." ”

"No, the arms are too tightly bound to exert all their strength, and they will lose mobility."

In this way, one old and one young, the sound of discussion in the east and west almost overshadowed the sound of striking iron, and even several apprentices of Tiefan sighed that they had never seen the master like this, and this state lasted for a whole afternoon.

Tie Fan happily looked at the drawing on the table and said, "Then it's decided?" This time it can be said to be flawless. ”

"Well, that's it! This gauntlet is definitely not ordinary. ”

Tie Fan laughed a few times and said, "You can just come and get it tomorrow, and you said that you can make two swords and a set of mage armor from the remaining materials." ”

"Not only that, but I hope to get some weapons that are slightly more powerful than the current normal weapons, no more than 8 weapons are enough."

"It's not that difficult, but I guess it's going to be very tight."

Ye Ziqing also thought for a while and said: "Otherwise, I will make 3 first, and I will take the rest the day after tomorrow, but those 2 swords and a set of mage armor must be made before tomorrow morning, and I will also take my weapon production the day after tomorrow." ”

"Okay, I'll do my best."

Ye Ziqing said: "Thank you, Grandpa Tiefan, you have worked hard." I have other important matters, I'll leave first, and I'll trouble you about weapons. ”

"I don't have any skills, so I'll just strike iron, and the affairs of the village will be left to you."

Ye Ziqing nodded and left. It was already dark outside, and Ye Ziqing walked towards Uncle Wen's pharmacy, thinking: The matter of weapons is basically settled, but how can people find it? Otherwise.... Ye Ziqing suddenly thought of a plan in his mind. At this moment, Ye Ziqing was still thinking, and a familiar voice came from a distance behind him.

"I've finally found you, little brother!"

Looking back, he found that it was Big Brother Randy who was hurriedly running towards him, Ye Ziqing waved and shouted, "What's the matter, Big Brother Randy?" In a hurry. Randy panted and came to Ye Ziqing, and when he saw this, he said, "Don't worry, you can rest for a while, I won't run." ”

Randy rested for a while and hurriedly said, "Where did you go?" Have you been looking for an afternoon? ”

"Looking for me? What's going on? I've been in the blacksmith all afternoon discussing weapons with Grandpa Tiefan. ”

Randy patted Ye Ziqing on the shoulder with both hands and said, "You really don't know? Ye Ziqing still looked at him suspiciously, and Randy shook his head: "It seems that the village chief hasn't told you yet, the village chief ordered our village guards to listen to you in the afternoon, and quickly say if something big has happened?" ”

Ye Ziqing suddenly realized, it turned out that grandpa really let me send all the resources, and with a smile on his face, he thought in his heart: Grandpa, I will definitely not let you down.

"Let's find a place to talk slowly, shall we?"

Seeing this, Randy said helplessly: "Then go to my house, it's night, you haven't eaten yet, just eat together." ”

Ye Ziqing agreed, and in this way, Randy invited Ye Ziqing to his house for dinner, and Randy just entered the door and shouted, "Lily, I'm back!" I brought my little brother to our house for dinner! ”

Ye Ziqing, who was behind him, had already smelled the smell of milk wafting from the kitchen, and thought: Cream stew? It turns out that NPCs are just like us who have to eat. The kitchen suddenly heard the sound of pots and pans falling to the ground, and then heard hurried footsteps, only to see a girl who was a little overwhelmed with flour appeared at the door, slightly angry.

"Brother, didn't you say earlier that there were guests at home! I haven't even dressed up yet! Then he looked at Ye Ziqing with a smile on his face and said, "Hello, Ling Ziqing." To make you smile, I'll go change my clothes first, and the meal will be fine. ”

Ye Ziqing smiled: "No, I think it's cute." Lily blushed and ran into her room.

Randy also smiled, "I didn't expect my sister to blush one day!" The voice was deliberately amplified.

Lily in the room immediately shouted, "Brother! ”

The three of them ate around the table like this, and Ye Ziqing quipped: "I didn't expect Lily to cook so deliciously, and this bread is not bad." "Actually, Ye Ziqing hasn't eaten with anyone else for a long time, and after thinking about it, he doesn't have a friend around him except Lao Du.

"No, yesterday she said she was going to a big city to open a bakery with me." Randy quipped, too.

"I hate it, how can you make such a joke about your sister." Lily huffed.

The three of them talked and laughed, Randy seemed to have forgotten the question to ask, and Ye Ziqing was also very happy to blend in. Happy time always ends quickly, Lily is washing dishes in the kitchen, and Ye Ziqing and Randy are discussing at the dinner table.

"I didn't mean to hide it from you, I originally wanted your escort team to only guard the perimeter of the village. I'm sorry, I can't promise you. ”

It turned out that Ye Ziqing carefully explained the cause and effect to Randy, and after Randy found out, he immediately said that he would go with Ye Ziqing to drive away the snakes.

"Why? Aren't we friends? You can risk your life, why can't I? Randy said eagerly.

Ye Ziqing didn't speak, in fact, he knew some reasons, but he didn't dare to think about it. He rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Randy, you actually have a mission too." I don't feel comfortable handing it over to someone else, you're the best candidate. ”

"Huh?" Randy was suddenly overwhelmed by Ye Ziqing's statement.

"You see, my plan is to be inside and out. I'm in command over there, and there must be a commander on the outskirts of the village, so this person will definitely be handed over to you. ”

Randy thought for a moment and said, "Really? ”

"yes, isn't it?"

"It seems like this." Randy nodded, clapped his hands and smiled, "I see, little brother, you are really scheming." ”

Ye Ziqing also laughed awkwardly with the smiling face, thinking: I finally fooled it.

"It's not too early, I'll leave first, I have to go to Uncle Wen's side to see how the medicine is doing."

"Then I'll send you off, little brother." Randy said, standing up.

"No need, you better rest early and recharge your batteries."

"Hehe, okay, I know, then Lily, you go and send it."

Lily, who had been in the kitchen for a long time, heard her brother call out to herself, and replied, "Okay." ”

Ye Ziqing was no longer easy to shirk, so Lily sent Ye Ziqing. The two of them were silent along the way, Ye Ziqing felt very embarrassed, and was just about to open his mouth to let Lily go back, but Lily preemptively said.

"Is it dangerous?"

In the blink of an eye, Ye Ziqing understood that Lily must have heard the conversation just now, and said with a relaxed face: "No." ”

"Liar."

Lily took a deep breath and said with a smile on her face, "Thank you." ”

Ye Ziqing laughed without replying, and shook his head.

"That brother, I must talk about him well when I go back!" Lily said with a huff of energy. It's very cute.

"This is the Lily I know, you can send it here, I'll go first. See you tomorrow. ”

Lily looked at Ye Ziqing who was far away and felt admiration in her heart, thinking of this, Lily suddenly blushed, and then slapped her cheeks with both hands and said, "What do you think, you have to go back and scold my brother." With that, Lily walked lightly and jumped back.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Ziqing had already come to Uncle Wen's pharmacy, Uncle Wen was hurrying up with his apprentices to make Lin Huang powder, Uncle Wen saw Ye Ziqing coming, and immediately pulled Ye Ziqing to come to him.

"Although we can make Lin Huang Powder, this..."

Seeing that Uncle Wen wanted to speak and stopped, there must be some difficulty.

"Uncle Wen, you say, I'll find a way to solve any difficulties."

"Although Lin Huang Fan can repel snakes, it is limited to ordinary small snakes, and it will be difficult to repel the large basilisk of the forest. So I'm afraid of this yellow powder...."

Hearing this, Ye Ziqing was shocked, if this was the case, wouldn't it be planned to have a miscarriage, and his face was sad.

"Uncle Wen, if you don't do this, I'll go to the forest again tomorrow, there is a good saying, 'one thing descends one thing', I don't believe that there are no snakes in the forest that are not afraid."

Uncle Wen nodded and said, "Then it's up to you here, and I will step up the production of Linhuang powder." ”

It was already more than 10 o'clock in the evening, and Ye Ziqing was still exploring the terrain on the outskirts of the village, selecting the location and scope of the battle, and he didn't want the village to receive any damage. At the same time, he also came to the outskirts of the forest and summoned the Thousand Shadows with a code, asking him to explore the places that snakes don't like or go less. When everything was done, I found that it was almost 12 o'clock in the evening, and Ye Ziqing was also offline and ready to rest.

Eating instant noodles, Ye Ziqing looked at his mobile phone, browsing the information in the forum, as if he was looking for something. Ye Ziqing, who went to bed, fixed the alarm clock at 6 o'clock in the morning, stared at the news in the forum, sighed, and fell asleep with a melancholy face. The phone also doesn't have a lock screen, so it's next to the pillow. There's a headline in the forum that reads: NPC death is permanent.
