The three of them returned all the way back to the imperial capital. Both Arak and Leon made it back to the imperial capital without incident. Only Ace used the "hidden" magic to rush into the gate of the imperial capital as soon as possible, because he was afraid of being discovered.

Back at the smithy, Ace hurriedly greeted Stark and rushed back to the attic.

Kling was naturally glad to see Ace finally return.

"What is this?" Clint stared at the bag in Ace's arms with wide eyes.

"Hey, hey, let me show you something rare!" Ace said, holding up the sack.

"Wow, is this the egg of the Boulder Titan?" Clint shouted in surprise.

"Well, I've done my best to cover it up!" Ace didn't seem shy about saying such things.

Clint reached out and tapped the egg lightly with his hand. "Wow, it's still hot."

"Of course, on the way back, I hugged it tightly in my hot clothes so as not to freeze it. I had to change it every two hours, which makes me very tired now. "Ace looks proud.

Clint smiled and said, "Then after it is born, it can play with the Golden Treasure Hunt Mouse." ”

Under Klin's reminder, Ace immediately asked, "What happened to that little guy when we weren't there?" ”

Clint sighed, "Even though I've been in the attic, I've always heard Uncle Stark's angry voice in the backyard. ”

Stark's face showed bitterness: "It seems that Warcraft is really difficult to tame, I don't know what will happen?" When he finished eating, he couldn't help but touch the eggs.

Ace went downstairs to the backyard. He saw the wounded Golden Treasure Hunt Mouse quietly licking the wound on his leg.

After seeing Ace, the little guy immediately made a "gasp" sound, as if to warn Ace not to approach.

Soon Arak came to the blacksmith's shop to bring back the poor little fellow. Although the college is now on holiday, the college dormitory is not closed and students can still live normally. Arak plans to bring the Golden Treasure Hunt Mouse cubs back to the Academy.

The Golden Treasure Hunt Rat remains vigilant after seeing Arak, but his attitude is clearly much better than when he faced Ace.

Arak drugged the little guy on the other side of the cage. Although the Golden Treasure Hunt Rat Cub couldn't help but moan in pain when the powder fell on the wound, overall, the little guy was relatively fine, as if he knew that Arak was saving it.

After treating the wound, Arak carried the cub back.

Time flies and soon arrives in the year 1005 of the Mandala calendar. Ace is 14 years old. There is still more than half a month before the opening of the college.

During this time, Ace has been learning about blacksmithing. He slowly discovered that forging seemed to help a lot in improving mental strength.

When he focuses on forging, his mind needs to be highly focused, and every drop must be extremely accurate. For different materials, Ace also needs to use completely different forces. Finally, Ace can control the force very precisely.

Ari Stark is a master-level blacksmith, and after seeing Ace's forging progress, he was a little incredulous. He initially thought that dwarves, as forgers, had innate talents and abilities that could not be surpassed by normal people. But after seeing Ace's terrifying rate of progress, Stark had to admit that his first apprentice did have a terrible advantage.

In just over a month, Ace has created extremely good armor and is able to preserve the position of magic scrolls in the armor and carve extremely fine enchantment mezzanines. This requires a lot of forging strength. Many intermediate casters often have problems carving enchantment mezzanines.

But Ace basically doesn't make mistakes. Stark was also amazed by his focus and skill.

What is the use of a glamorous mezzanine? It is used to enchant equipment. Powerful spellcasters can attach magic scrolls to their armor so that the armor can exert some magical effects. For example, the magic scroll of "Breath of the Wind" can be attached to a boot in the hands of a high-level blacksmith, so that soldiers can increase their movement speed for a short time.

However, unlike magicians who cast magic, enchantments for armor and weapons can only work up to three times, and are very expensive to craft. Not all soldiers can afford armor and weapons with magical blessings.

The reason forgers make money is that they can craft these armors and weapons with magical blessings.

However, when the magic effects in the armor or weapon are used up, the magic effects can still be achieved again by replenishing the Philosopher's Stone energy. This is completely different from a simple magic scroll, which requires the forge's powerful forging abilities.

Ace has been obsessed with casting lately and hasn't left Stark's blacksmith shop for a long time, but he doesn't know that something has already been rumored to be in the imperial capital at this time.

"You see, a few days ago, a large number of troops were stationed outside the imperial capital, and many soldiers were injured."

"I saw it too, but the city gate is guarded every day, and ordinary civilians are not allowed to enter and exit at will. So I don't know what the specifics are. Is it hard to fight a few more neighboring empires? ”

"Unlikely. Today's New Delhi Empire dominates the Mandala continent. Who would dare to go to war with our empire? ”

......

But because there is no exact information, various versions of the rumor spread like wildfire.

Some say they are fighting against their neighbors, others say they are going to kill a very powerful beast, and others say they are going to kill the Abyss Demon.

Of course, Ace didn't know this at all. It wasn't until late in the afternoon that Ace finally decided to go out and find his two good brothers to relax, and then he learned about the recent rumors about the imperial capital.

"Ace, you're finally here! I've been to the blacksmith a few times before to look for you. You've been forging carefully, and your teacher is still watching. I don't even dare to disturb you. Leon said after a glass of wine.

Arak asked with concern, "Have you made any progress in satin making technology lately?" ”

"It's okay." Ace nodded. "At least the teacher was happy with my performance."

Arak was taken aback and was able to meet the requirements of a masterful blacksmith like Ari Stark, which showed that Ace was indeed talented in blacksmithing.

As the most famous blacksmith in the imperial capital, Stark has a high vision!

In half a month, the academy will open. Ace said a little nonchalantly.

Leon made a bitter face: "Yes, as soon as school starts, you can't eat as much as you want during this time!" Otherwise, I will be laughed at by those people again! ”

Arak said angrily, "You have it, when did you ever care about those people's opinions?" But then again, you've really eaten a lot this month, and you see you're getting fat again! ”

"Why are you fat? You're not fat, you're talking nonsense! ”

The two of them had a fight.
