21 weapons are useless
The weapons shops in Artisan Street don't have the same clanging of wrought iron as Ivy had seen in Cedar City.
Instead of seeing the swords or majesticly slaughtered spears arranged in several rows, Ivy saw a series of exquisite swords, long swords, daggers, and short knives that were like works of art dominating the mainstream. There are also a few rare two-handed swords, which are not sold by being heavy, but attracting people's attention with the gems inlaid on the sword and the runes carved on the sword.
The blacksmith shop in Osford only creates high-quality products, and often starts work only when there is an order!
In fact, there are still a few swords made of high-quality steel in the warehouses of many shops here, and these swords can be regarded as divine weapons in other places, but they are just common orders here, and compared with those works of art, they are not even qualified to be displayed at the front desk.
"The city is so literary. Ivy sighed.
When she was a young child in her hometown in Blue Lagoon, her favorite thing was to run to the blacksmith shop in Cedar City, move a small bench and watch a group of men with strong muscles sweat in front of the iron furnace, forging the scorching iron into sharp swords, holding the cheeks for a day.
Especially the moment of quenching, it is so exciting!
Taking the time to come here today, Ivy probably also wants to relive the original feeling, but unfortunately the city of learning this art is not as strong as the Northern Frost Eagle Empire, and the blacksmith shop is not as enthusiastic as she remembers.
Thinking of this, Ivy sighed inadvertently.
"Is the exhibit in my store so unbearable?!" A sound of urns, not as if it was air, but a vibration directly from the ground, through the soles of Ivy's feet, along the bones to the eardrums.
"No, it's beautiful. Ivy looked back and saw a very stout dwarf who was less than a meter tall, but his beard almost fell to the ground.
"Then what are you sighing for!" said the old dwarf's mouth, and more than his voice was a pungent smell of wine.
"I just don't think it's interesting to see the forging scene. Ivy clenched her fists: "It's the kind of scene where molten steel splashes everywhere and sparks burst out!"
"Whew, little girl, you're right, hammering tons of gray iron crystals into Yan forged steel in a single hand, that process is the happiest time for a blacksmith!" The dwarf danced as he spoke, and every time his stubby but broad feet stomped the ground, the whole shop trembled.
"I'm sorry, but my husband gets emotional when he drinks too much. The maid who was greeting the guests at the counter suddenly said this, and then smiled apologetically at Ivy: "Little sister, didn't scare you, did you?"
"To be honest, I was really scared, but on the other hand" Ivy stared at the maid pretending to be no longer than 30 years old no matter how she looked at it, "You are his wife, I don't believe it when you say it's a granddaughter!"
"Oh, little girl, are you complimenting people on their youth? The maid outfit sister smiled and handed Ivy a cup of hot tea: "I don't dare to say that the weapons we have built are top-notch, but they are also above the level in the Craftsman's Street." ”
"Cut, although the business of our weapon shop is not bad, but people are interested in your enchantment skills of Ruina, the weapons I created are obviously ten times sharper and more durable than others, but they are still regarded as big road goods!" the old dwarf was dissatisfied.
In the face of the dwarf's somewhat rude language, the maid pretended to be a sister and comforted softly: "But my dear, before I met you, I was just an ordinary alchemist of magic jewelry, you know that I am actually very bad at fine magic pattern engraving, so I haven't developed much in magic jewelry, but after meeting you, everything is different! Although you are a dwarf, you have a delicate insight into the raw materials of forging ores, and you can create the strongest and most suitable weapon blank for enchantment, which just gives me room to play if my skills are not fine enough." ”...,
"But Reina, you have a good memory! Complex magic patterns must be done in one go to succeed, and those meticulous ones can't keep up speed without traveling even if they compare the drawings. The dwarf was in a better mood and spoke to his wife gently: "Hehe, in fact, when I temper ores, I treat them as lovers, they are just like you, they seem to be very careless girls, but they retain beautiful things, but they have to peel off the shell to find the hidden beauty"
Finding that the two of them began to talk to each other like no one, Ivy, who was a high-wattle light bulb, felt that she was under a lot of pressure, and she decided not to say kind words like "goodbye" and sneak away.
"By the way, what kind of equipment are you looking for, this guest?" called out to Ivy Reyna.
"I'll just see, I don't have any money. Ivy spoke directly, making Rena laugh, "You look like you're a freshman, don't you?"
"Freya Academy. Ivy felt that there was nothing to hide about this, but she added: "Actually, I want to learn martial arts." ”
"Hehe, what a funny little girl! I'm very close to you! Take a gift from my sister." Rena took a thin sword and handed it to Ivy, "It's an ordinary sword, and although it's not enchanted, it's the size and weight of a woman. My sister uses it to wish you success in your future studies! When the time comes, come to us, and you can tailor a weapon for you at a good price. ”
"W-how can this be?" Ivy was tempted to refuse the gift, but Rena's warm smile made it difficult for her to speak. Ivy knew that although this sword was only made of ordinary craftsmanship and had no magic attached, a sword of the same quality was worth hundreds of gold coins, not to mention that this sword was really quite delicate with sheathed workmanship, and if you count the name of Osford Craftsman's Street, it would not be too high to ask for 1,000 gold coins in the hands of merchants in other cities.
Ivy, who has broadened her horizons a lot, knows that in the metropolis of Osford, most of the valuable things have been calculated with magic crystals, and a few hundred gold coins is indeed not a big amount, but it is embarrassing that she does not have such a sum of money on her!
"This sword is really beautiful, thank you so much! I will definitely come here to take care of the business here often in the future!" Although she thought about it a lot, Ivy didn't show much unnaturalness when she decided to accept the gift. She also understands that after all, she is a businessman, and she has some meaning of getting to know repeat customers. Moreover, the true value of this sword is not a priceless thing, and there is no need for me to be honest and afraid for an ordinary sword, and it seems that I have never seen the world. However, in her heart, Ivy decided to return the favor when she had the chance, after all, she also thought that the enchanter boss and her dwarven husband were good.
By this time, it was getting late, and it was time to go back to school.
Ivy played with the thin sword for a moment in a place where there were fewer pedestrians, and let out a self-deprecating wry smile: "This sword is still very jerky to use, and the perception when holding the sword is no different from wearing gloves a few meters thick! ”
Having said that, the dream of fighting the sword world is always a complex that all boys have in their hearts, and the appearance of this sword is exquisite, not to mention the wind, even if it is not usually used, the feeling of carrying a sword on his waist is also very handsome!
Judging people by their appearance or something
Ivy played with her sword and sheath all the way, until she walked into the school gate, her skirt changed back to an ultra-short style, and she didn't take out her shoes from the buttons of the magic skirt storage, and returned to the dormitory barefoot, spotless, thanks to the luck of the floating cocoon.
"Ahh Back in the dormitory, Ivy didn't see any of the other girls.
However, at the position of bed No. 6, there was a girl with long snow-white hair.
