Section 16 Blacksmith Apprenticeship

Through several days of contact, Chen Jinyang, who can be called the "old treacherous and cunning", naturally learned from the elf girl that Sunderland and others misunderstood him: a high-ranking dragon walking in the world? This joke is a bit big, but Lao Tzu has no obligation to explain this wonderful misunderstanding. But Chen Jinyang did not deliberately disguise or cover up this misunderstanding, coupled with a few days of temptation, the female consul also seemed to have doubts about his identity, Chen Jinyang obviously felt that Sunderland's attitude in the past two days began to become a little cold, and under the pretext that it was more appropriate for the elf to teach elf language, he turned his hand and pushed down the previous agreement to teach Xiao Xiaosha'er, making Chen Jinyang and others speechless and difficult to refute.

Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, the moon elf girl Elf, who had been in a weak position in front of Chen Jinyang and others, suddenly "turned over as a serf and sang" and began to tremble. "Please, please, please, please, ho, ho!" The elven girl, whose little tail was almost up to the sky, circled around Mi Sha'er triumphantly, and a pair of big bright eyes stared at the little girl's red hair, Kole's horn shining.

"Don't do it! I won't beg you to die!" The little girl with her head covered her head with her hands pouted the corners of her mouth and did not show weakness.

"Come and beg me! If you're willing to give me this helmet, I'll teach you elven language!

"No! I don't want to learn any elven language from you!Damn long ears!Don't think of beating my darling!'Crown of Victory and Glory' (name changed again!?) will never fall into the hands of the green-eyed!" The little girl was not in the slightest temptation by the elves.

"Who do you say has long ears and green eyes?" "A little annoyed little elf, who do you say has long ears and green eyes?" the little elf, who was a little annoyed, began to prepare for a violent snatch.

"I won't give it to you!" The little girl who was determined to defend her "treasure" to the death hurriedly dodged, and the daily routine battle for Cole's Horn started again.

Chen Jinyang shook his head and walked out of the house helplessly, given the hostile situation of the two little guys, it seems that the previous plan to learn this world culture has been aborted for the time being. Now there is a more urgent problem to be solved, that is, the problem of eating, because he did not understand the monetary value of this world, Chen Jinyang easily rejected the huge amount of tens of thousands of gold coins of the Hubbell family, and now he can be said to be penniless, and the female archon has not come to fill the grievances in the past two days, and the family plus an elf idler can only rely on the food left in the space bag to live.

Chen Jinyang and Alos found the help of the old Sailu, who was most familiar with Miraba, and sold all the accumulated skins except for the winter wolf skins, and dozens of animal skins, large and small, were only sold for a total of six or seven gold coins, but the two bottles of strong acid and one bottle of blazing glue, which were once evaluated as worthless by Elago, were sold for more than twenty gold coins, which surprised someone.

Someone wants to ask how much twenty gold coins are worth, so let's say, the price of a chicken is equivalent to two pounds of wheat is equivalent to a pound of hard bread only two copper coins, and one gold coin is equivalent to ten silver coins is equivalent to a hundred copper coins, that is to say, twenty gold coins can buy a thousand chickens or two thousand pounds of wheat or a thousand pounds of hard bread, and a cow that is extremely important to a farmer is only a dozen gold coins, which shows the huge value of Elago's huge sum of money at the beginning, and at the same time, it can also be seen that the potential strength of the Hubbell family is not inferior to that of ordinary small kingdoms。

Sitting in the hall of the wrought iron inn, Chen Jinyang, who was drinking thick soup, had a heart-wrenching feeling when he remembered the huge sum of money he had refused, how could he be so impulsive in the first place, just leave a fraction of it! At least he didn't have to worry about filling his belly like he did now. Looking at the four fellows who were eating with them!oh! plus an old Sairu who had come to eat, several of them devoured it, and this was the finest golden toast, and a silver coin could only buy two pounds. Chen Jinyang was really ruthless to let a few little guys gnaw on the hard, rough and hard-to-swallow cheap black bread, and the "housewives and men" who wanted to cry without tears could only turn their grief into appetite, turning into a "gluttonous monster" who was crazier than everyone else, devouring the food on the table more violently.

What is more painful than supporting a pot-bellied man is that there are two big-stomach kings to feed, and in order to avoid Chen Jinyang, who is sitting on empty food, he has to find a way to earn money to support his family. As a mining center, Milaba has more than three types: many merchants, many miners, and many blacksmiths, and out of the advice of the elder Sairu and his own considerations, Chen Jinyang decided to find a job as a blacksmith first and then make plans.

However, what is more strange is that the blacksmith shop that should be busy is now in a state of silence, Chen Jinyang followed the old Sailu into a shop that was still a little noisy, the shop had no name, but a pair of craftsman hammers were hung outside. A stout, one-eyed dwarf with a black-gray beard coiled behind his back was busy on the workbench with a hammer in his hand, sweating profusely, ignoring the entry of the two humans, still pounding on the red-hot metal block on the anvil again and again.

The inside of the blacksmith shop was much hotter than the outside because of the high temperature, and Old Sairu approached the dwarf and shouted, "Master Singels, are you alright?" The fierce-looking one-eyed dwarf glanced at Chen Jinyang, who was standing behind, with his only gray-brown left eye, and said in a nonchalant voice: "Oh! It's little Sairu! Do you need my help? Don't bother me if it's okay!"

Old Sailu glanced back at Chen Jinyang with some embarrassment, pointed at him and said, "Master, this is a good boy from my village! William, he hopes to find an apprenticeship with you." ”

"Apprentice?hahaha!" Singhs glared at the only remaining one-eyed and said with a sarcastic smile: "There are humans who are willing to come to me, a blind dwarf, as an apprentice?

The most fierce of the dwarves, with an extremely stocky body, was evident from his weather-beaten ruddy face, and his poor attitude towards life was evident in his weather-beaten ruddy face, Singh McCrooff had lost one eye, but had no intention of filling the empty socket, but had only covered it with an eyepatch, and half of his beard was gone, replaced by a large scar on the right side of his face, which made it clear at a glance that he had suffered a terrible wound before.

"Haha! little beardless one! You should go to the bombastic metallurgists and alchemists! instead of being apprenticed to my rock-hardened dwarven blacksmith's shop. Ignorant humans, go to your experts! you're not welcome here!" The one-eyed dwarf refused very harshly, tilting his head to make him very uncomfortable to look at Chen Jinyang.

Although I don't know why this dwarf is hostile to humans, it doesn't prevent Chen Jinyang from patting his little ass: "Everyone here knows that the one-eyed dwarf Singhs is the best blacksmith in Miraba! Of course I'm going to come to the best dwarf here as an apprentice!" At this time, the old Sairu who led the way had quietly slipped away.

The one-eyed Singers were extremely interested in Chen Jinyang's horses, but he still blew his beard and glared at him: "Slippery little fellow! Good words are useless! Hmph--the strength and softness of metal are blended to the point that no one can match? It is just absurd and uninhibited empty talk! If the magic of strengthening metal is not a secret guarded by Dumasson, then they absolutely cannot exist! Not a dwarf among them dares to claim to know more about metal than the dwarves! There is no funnier joke in the world!" For the dwarf's chatter, Chen Jinyang could only listen with a wry smile.

"Lord Marquis actually believes the nonsense of those fake experts! He would rather pursue an alchemy formula that is not in existence than increase the number of people to mine new ore veins and expand the scale of production! Let the head be kicked by the Lothmon! The 'Shining Stone' Council has also listened to these frivolous deceptions! Agrantsor who has done nothing! Phew! This guy who has turned his back on the dwarven tradition and Dumason! It seems that more than a hundred years of idleness have made him completely forget Dumason's teachings!"

Chen Jinyang, who had been enduring the verbal bombardment of dwarves, had to interrupt his complaints: "Master Singels, can I be an apprentice here?"

The one-eyed dwarf, who was indulging in grumbling, had a glint in his eyes, and said with some unfinished words: "Damn! Oh! Since you were introduced by little Seru, let's work here for a while! Go! Move these iron ingots to the next room first! Foolish Erastu! What fools! Tricked around! Even the stupidest dwarves are smarter than them!"

Chen Jinyang picked up the wrought iron box next to the iron felt, and followed the one-eyed dwarf who jumped off the platform down the stairway on the other side and walked into the floor below the floor of the room, which was another blacksmith's workshop, but no one worked in it.

"From tomorrow onwards, you're going to follow me down there to mine the stones, remember to bring lighting tools! I don't want you to get lost in the dark pit on the first day!" Singers instructed Chen Jinyang, who was about to leave, after putting down the box.

Walking out of the one-eyed dwarf's blacksmith shop, old Sairu was waiting for Chen Jinyang not far away, and he said a little embarrassedly: "Although old Singhals has a strange temper, his blacksmith skills are really good! William! Although I don't know why you have changed so much, please take care of Alos and Mi Sha'er! I will return to the village tomorrow!"

Chen Jinyang bowed down and replied: "Thank you Mr. Sailu for taking care of our brothers and sisters in the past! If there is anything to use William in the future, just open your mouth!" This sentence originally came from the mouth of a young man, which was a bit out of place, but it seemed extremely sonorous and powerful to Chen Jinyang.
