Old George's blacksmith shop was small, but the sparrows were small and well-stocked.

Kirito and Lee wanted to enter the back of the store at the invitation of old George.

At the back of the shop, there is a small workshop that is very compactly arranged, and it looks like an old clock shop that Li Xiang once entered when he was a child. Old George walked in and motioned for Kirito and Li Xiang to visit at will, while he sat down at a tall workbench in the center of the room.

Old George first put a bag of steppe wolf fangs in his hand on the table. Then he got up and fetched a bucket of water, and with a special brush and an unknown potion, he carefully cleaned the wolf's teeth in the water.

After cleaning, the wolf's teeth have become much cleaner, and the yellow stain on the root of the tooth is gone, showing its true white color.

"I've been a blacksmith for nearly twenty years, and to be honest, blacksmithing is a hard job to keep you fed, but if you really want to be rich and rich, there is no such thing."

Old George took out the wolf teeth that had been cleaned and soaked in the bucket one by one, carefully wiped them dry, and stacked them neatly on a piece of flannel that had been used for a long time and had been washed white but clean. He took out a toolbox from the drawer of the workbench, and there were a variety of tools in it.

"This blacksmith shop was handed down to me by our old man, along with his craft. When I was young, I didn't like to listen to that old man's arrangement, why should I listen to you and live a blacksmith life where I grew up and could see death at a glance? I ran away from home in a fit of rage. Later, I tried to do other things, don't look at me like I am now, I used to be a handsome young man when I was young, and I was an adventurer for a while. ”

Kirito: "Mr. George, you have a very strong body, and you have been striking iron for many years, so you must have a lot of strength. It is also reasonable to have been an adventurer. ”

Old George laughed, but his hand did not stop, he polished the edges and corners of the wolf's fangs one by one, and the sharp ends of them were especially carefully placed. Although he spoke, the movements of his hands were steady, and the wolf's teeth were polished into regular and beautiful droplets.

"The young man is really good at talking, but the old man knows his own pounds. Compared to what you are now, then I am far inferior. Speaking of myself, I stayed in the city until I was in my thirties, and I had my own wife and children. Life is also not bad. Until one day, I suddenly missed my neighbors in the village of Horuka. ”

Old George paused, seemed to think for a moment, and then continued:

"At that time, my wife had just passed away from a sudden illness, and at that time, I suddenly felt that the home in the city was no longer my home. After thinking about it for a long time, I finally returned to this small village with my children. ”

"I still remember when I came back, our old man's eyes turned red when he saw me. Didn't scold me like he used to. Just said to me, "Just come back". After that, I reopened the blacksmith shop. Fortunately, the craftsmanship of his youth has not yet been pulled down. ”

"As the days went by, my children grew up, and ten years ago he went out to other places like me. This kid has a better conscience than I did at the beginning, and he knows how to send me a letter every month, hehe. ”

Mr. George's hands were quick, and as he spoke, he had roughly processed all the materials.

He then uses a hole punch to round the holes and sharpens the edges of the holes with a special metal wire. After doing this, he took out two carefully sealed ceramic bottles. Mix the two together evenly in a 1:1 ratio.

"It's a technique I learned when I was younger, just soaking the bone in karim water makes the surface of the bone white and shiny."

Old George soaked the treated wolf fangs in the karim water he had concocted. The surface of the tooth becomes hydrated and shiny at a rate visible to the naked eye. The texture looks like jade.

"It's amazing."

Kirito was amazed.

George threaded the jade-like wolf teeth with a special rope. The rope on one of them looks larger, and it should be a necklace. The other is slightly smaller and looks like it should be a bracelet.

"It's done, what do you think?"

Old George's tone was tinged with a smug tone that was not disgusting. Kirito and Li Xiang are also very face-saving, of course, the main reason is that these two chains are indeed very beautiful, with a bit of rugged beauty.

"Very good, I believe Aunt Mary will like it too."

"By your good words, then I will give this necklace to Mary. Little girl, it's been a long time since anyone wants to listen to me, and I'm glad to know you. This bracelet will be given to you, and it should be kept as a souvenir. ”

George, the old blacksmith, stuffed the wolf tooth bracelet into Li Xiang's hand.

"Well, I'm a man...... I'm so embarrassed. ”

Li Xiang almost said that he missed his mouth. When I heard old George call him a little girl, I had mixed feelings. But there's no way, it's impossible to tell the NPC that he's actually a man. Let's not talk about whether the NPC's low-level intelligence can understand their own words, and whether others will believe them with their current appearance. Even if others believe it, then he will become a complete pervert.

As for this bracelet, it is even more unbearable. When he thought that Old George made these two chains for the purpose of picking up girls, he felt that his goosebumps were about to rise.

[System]: Host, after testing, this bracelet is an accessory equipment, containing the blessing of blacksmith George, with the effect of slightly increasing attack power.

Why didn't you say it earlier!

"Although...... It's not very embarrassing, but since this is your heart, Mr. George, then I will laugh and accept. ”

Li Xiang hurriedly changed his words, as if he was afraid that old George would regret it, and snatched the bracelet from old George.

"Well, I won't disturb you two on their adventures. See you soon! ”

George wanted to give the bracelet to Li Xiang, the blonde girl in his eyes. Therefore, I didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Li Xiang's words and actions. After handing over the bracelet, George said goodbye to the two.

"Goodbye, Mr. George" / "Old George, goodbye"

Along the way, the girl next to her seemed to be in a good mood all the time, and Kirito couldn't help but ask:

"Saber, why are you so happy?"

"Because I just got a piece of gear."

There was excitement in the girl's voice.

"Equipment? That wolf tooth bracelet just now? ”

"Yes, a wolf tooth bracelet that can increase attack power."

Isn't it, so you can get equipment? Kirito was puzzled.

Should a girl who doesn't look good get preferential treatment when playing games? No, the intelligence of NPCs in Sword Art Online should run on their own, and they will only complete their actions according to a pre-set program.

Kirito, who is not a chieftain, is suspicious of the identity of the girl next to him.

Kirito had a faint smell of European finesse.
