Chapter 277: Magnetic Hammer's Dwarven Beer
Lily subconsciously looked at Hayna and looked her up and down.
…… Also、Not short?
Don't dwarven hybrids lower their height?
Noticing the surprised gaze of Ivas and his party, Haina's father was immediately amused and laughed heartily.
The dwarf raised his hand and poured himself a large sip of wine, moistening his throat.
Without any tactfulness or detour, the dwarf uncle directly said what Ivas was most concerned about: "Don't look at her like that—these two children are not my own. But I've been taking care of them since they were young, and I'm half their father.
"Their irresponsible bastard daddy ran away - he ran away from Cape Eagle before Jack was born."
The dwarf uncle said unceremoniously: "I think that kid is probably falling for some evil, or he is going out with his master to have an ambitious time - that's why I don't want this girl to study on Glass Island." After all, her stupid dad is on Glass Island. ”
Hearing this, Ivas looked at Sherlock silently.
Sherlock paused, and understood what Ivas wanted him to do.
- This is obviously making him childish.
After all, he is a child in appearance now, and he is flexible enough in this regard. Even if you say something that shouldn't be said, or if you don't ask politely, then as long as Ivus adds "children don't know how to ask casually", it won't make the atmosphere too stiff.
Then Sherlock opened his mouth and let out a childish voice: "That man is really bad...... But what does he do? Why did the master take him out to play? ”
"That kid's master is the original blacksmith in this village, but his level is much worse than mine."
The dwarf said with great disdain: "What else does the old boy say...... Have you studied in the royal capital before? He learned to use a hammer, and the old blacksmiths in the royal capital were all the long ears of the gods. If he had really learned from them, he would still be an ordinary person?
"The old boy is going to brag too—and Hayna loved to listen to him when she was a kid. You know now, right? I said at the time that you were still stubborn and didn't believe it! Believe it now! ”
When the dwarf finished speaking, he laughed happily.
He had finished his wine, so he filled it with another glass.
“…… Truly. ”
Haina nodded a little embarrassedly: "I'll understand when I get to Glass Island." ”
"Right, right! Hahahaha! ”
The dwarf laughed heartyly, loud enough to be heard directly from the back room to the outside of the smithy.
Sherlock asked, "Uncle...... How did Hayna's mom and you meet? ”
"Ah......h
Haina was suddenly embarrassed.
She subconsciously wanted to stop Sherlock's words, but she knew Sherlock's identity so she didn't dare, and at the same time, she was actually curious in her own heart-
"Don't call me uncle, call me Grandpa Magnetic Hammer!"
The dwarf Magnetic Hammer smiled heartily: "We are not immortals with long ears, we just don't look old—but I'm actually almost sixty years old, hahaha!" ”
No, it's not so much that dwarves don't look old, it's that they look too old. Ivus thought to himself.
After all, dwarves from twenty to fifty years old look about the same. As long as I get old early, you can't tell if I'm getting old.
"Actually, you want to know, right?"
Hammer took another sip and looked at Hayna.
"I want to know, Dad."
Hayna's younger brother, Jack, also asked.
He was eight years younger than Hayna, and it was the hammer that took care of him from the moment he opened his eyes.
Unlike Haina, who regarded the hammer as her stepfather, the hammer was his own father to him - he was raised without being born, and in a sense he was closer than his own father.
"I picked up your dad."
Haina's mother came up with tea and said, "Two days after that psychotic ran away, he appeared in a coma in the swamp. I picked him up......"
"Did Grandpa William also emerge from the swamp?"
Haina asked suddenly.
Ivas's ears twitched slightly, realizing that it was the name of the old inspector.
"Yes, not all of them are from the swamp. That's why I asked you to pick someone up...... It's not easy for our village to get in through the main gate. ”
She said helplessly: "By the way, don't you let the guests sit down and talk?" ”
"That's right, whatever you're polite, it's all your own people, and you can sit down!"
The hammer said without a beak, jumped down from the old sofa, found another oak wine glass, and poured another glass of wine.
He scanned the crowd with two wine glasses.
Well, Hayna. Well, this girl...... And children. And birds.
So he finally found Ivus logically: "Young man, come for two?" ”
"Yes."
Ivus smiled and took the glass.
He looked down and saw that the glass was a black beer with a burnt and barley aroma.
"Beer?"
Ivus was a little surprised: "I thought you would drink spirits." ”
"When you wake up, let's get some beer and rinse your mouth! Besides, spirits are too expensive, so it's better to have beer! A good bottle of brandy can only cost three or four white crowns, and almost twelve red coins. But beer—haha, that's half a copper to fill a glass! ”
Magnetic Hammer smiled heartily: "This is a dwarf flavor, you can't drink it on the glass island." Do you taste it? ”
Haina looked a little uneasy on the side: "Dad, don't drink badly if you want to drink......
This is the minister of Avalon—
But before she could say anything, Ivas reached out and patted her on the arm, signaling that it was okay. He raised his head and took a big sip.
This taste is indeed something that Ivas can't drink on the glass island.
Compared to regular beer, it is a little stronger and a little more punchy. There's a small cloudy substance in it that I don't know what it is, and it's a little uneven. And what impressed Ivus the most was a strong charcoal bitter taste...... It's like charcoal-fired milk tea.
"Charcoal?"
Ivas asked, blurting out.
- What the hell, beer can also be charcoal-grilled?
The dwarven hammer's eyes widened slightly.
He was stunned for a moment, then patted Ivus on the shoulder vigorously: "Yes, boy! Taste it in one bite!
"But in fact, you have to go to Yongshuang, and you can drink the more authentic one. Our serious dwarven beer is brewed with roasted malt. But sometimes when I go out, I can't drink the wine of my hometown...... There's a simple way to do it. ”
"Beer soaked in red-hot coal, right?"
Ivus guessed right away.
What kind of evil recipe is this......
"It's not that simple, you know you can't do it."
The magnetic hammer emphasized: "If you soak too much, it will melt, and if you soak less, it will only smell mush." How to soak and how long to soak is a knowledge, and you can only understand it if you do more. The old blacksmith understands this. ”
The more he talked, the happier he became.
He pulled Ivas to sit on the couch and poured him another glass of wine.
And then Ivas knew what the cloudy thing in the wine was—it was supposed to be tiny grains of charcoal.
Seeing this, Haina's mother shook her head helplessly.
She took the Hayna siblings and Sherlock up to the second floor and into the bedroom.
Probably the biggest advantage of this kind of village is that the cost of building houses is relatively cheap. Land is basically free of money, as long as there is a reliable labor at home, you can buy materials to build a large area of duplex buildings.
Sherlock also had a general understanding of Hayna's family situation.
- She's a little richer than she looks.
After all, her father was the best blacksmith in the village...... Although there is more than one blacksmith in the village, and he has only been here for more than ten years. But after all, that's the craft of the transcendental, and it's the level that can build equipment.
However, he didn't support Haina going to study in a territory full of elves, so he probably didn't give her much money.
And he is a black household after all, and even if he has the skills, it is impossible to sell at the normal price.
…… However, if Hayna's father's level is high enough...... Can I order some gear from here?
Sherlock was a little moved.
Although the equipment of the lawyer and the mage, he should not be able to build it.
But Sherlock had previously learned a stick from Edward—
Why don't you find Uncle Magnetic Hammer to get a cane?
You can also bring some gifts back to Edward...... It was regarded as a reparation for stealing his equipment.
Chapter 2, update complete!
As soon as we got up, we saw sad news that another respectable senior had left us......
Everyone must have frequent physical examinations, exercise more, and rest well! Be sure to have regular check-ups!
When I got back, I was ready to get ready to get started...... I haven't had a physical examination for two years, and I'll go for a physical examination when I recover my indicators in a month of rehabilitation!
