"Quentin, is this where you've always dreamed of been?"

"Of course, listen to the sound of hammers and ores, is there any better music in the world?

Quentin danced in place, his earthy yellow face turned purple, obviously excited to the extreme.

Sawo was silent, and Leviathan was silent, they finally knew why the other eight captains had completely abandoned the dwarves, and even Quentin would look like this when he heard the sound of striking iron, so the other dwarves must have been even more unbearable.

"Oh, stop grinding, let's go report it, I don't want to wait a second. ”

Quentin hurriedly pulled the two into the station. Along the way, no one stopped them at all, and a dignified law enforcement team was stationed, and there was not even the slightest defense.

In addition to the office building, and the supporting training equipment-level alchemy and venues, there are few other buildings in the station, and the members of the law enforcement team go back to their homes at night.

But here, there were no office buildings or training equipment, and instead there were simple houses made of stone, where the dwarves had built to store ore and shelter from the rain, and these crazy guys stayed there all year round in order to improve their forging skills. Those who have people in the family still go back from time to time to see, and those dwarves who feed the whole family and are not hungry simply live here and do not go anywhere.

Stone houses are lined up on the side of the road, and the whole station looks more like a small settlement, completely unrelated to the law enforcement team.

Just then, Quentin's eyes lit up, and he spotted a dwarf who had just finished casting. The dwarf looked to be quite old and his beard had turned gray, and he was putting the finishing touches on the armor he had just created.

"Hey, friend, can you show me this armor?"

Quentin didn't beat around the bush either, and went straight to the point, after all, dwarf communication is so direct.

The old dwarf didn't reply, and didn't look up at the group until he had finished his work.

"Humans, why are you here, and you little one, how do I feel familiar?"

The old dwarf looked Quentin up and down for a long time, and finally remembered with a pat on his head.

"By the way, aren't you the one who went to a fighting tournament and finished in the top four, what's your name...... Quentin, yes, you're Quentin, little one, right? ”

Quentin nodded hurriedly, since the other party recognized him, then things would be easy to do.

As a result, the old dwarf's face changed, and he said to Quentin with a look of hatred that iron is not made of steel: "You little fellow, you don't do your job all day to participate in any fighting competition, and you still take your hammer to fight." Why don't you knock a few more pieces of iron billet when you have that spare time, look at your hammer, there are a lot of miscellaneous materials, and it is barely a high-level legendary equipment until now, you are ashamed to say it yourself.

Solo looked at the old dwarf with strange eyes, if any family can produce a top four person in the fighting competition, it is enough for them to blow for a lifetime, but when it comes to the dwarf, fighting has become a "bad business".

When Quentin heard this, he didn't care that the other party was so much older than him, so he fought back mercilessly: "Friend, I also chose to participate in the competition to earn money to buy forged ore." If you want to say that I don't do my job, I don't object, but if you look down on my forging skills, then I won't admit it, just like this armor in your hand, which doesn't seem to be as good as my hammer. ”

The old dwarf was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Boy, you say that my forging skills are not as good as yours? ”

After the old dwarf finished speaking, he snatched Quentin's hammer without saying anything, pulled the box, lit the fire, smelted, and forged...... All the movements flowed smoothly, and Quentin originally wanted to get his hammer back, but he was immediately attracted to the old dwarf's methods.

He knows that in Quentin's opinion, his hammer is already the top legendary equipment, and he has been collecting all kinds of rare metals to strengthen this hammer over the years, and those materials alone are worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins.

It wasn't until he saw the old dwarf make a move that Quentin realized how stupid he was before, and many of those precious materials were wasted by himself. The old dwarf's hand was like magic, without the help of any other materials, just kept beating on his hammer, a one-handed hammer only the size of a palm like an arm swinging his fingers, those ruined precious materials were constantly merging under the old dwarf's knocking, and the sound of the two hammers colliding became more and more crisp.

Quentin was fascinated by it, and he was now completely convinced that the senior in front of him was definitely a hidden blacksmith.

I don't know how much time has passed, but when the last hammer fell, Quentin's hammer had shrunk by more than half, and the hammer head, which was originally dark but somewhat mottled, was now shining with the purest translucent luster.

"Now you see. ”

The old dwarf casually threw the hammer to Quentin, and Quentin's hands sank, and he clearly felt that his hammer was a lot heavier. Immediately, he began to check.

"Historical History...... Epic !!"

Quentin stammered at the result, holding his hammer with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"No, it's not really Epic Gear, and while it's no worse than Epic Gear in terms of strength, it doesn't have its own skills, so it's just a hammer somewhere between Legendary and Epic. ”

When the old dwarf said this, his face was full of helplessness.

"Who the hell are you?"

"Me, you can call me Arnold. ”

At this time, even Solo and the others were taken aback, the old dwarf in front of them was the captain of the Nine Team and the master Arnold that Quentin admired?

Quentin was blindsided: "No, I met the captain of the Jiuban team during the game, and he didn't look like you." ”

Arnold clapped his hands and said indifferently: "Anyway, the four emperors are all present, does anyone dare to make trouble under their noses?" So I just sent someone to fill up the number, anyway, the other eight are used to it, and they can't control me." ”

As soon as he heard this, except for Quentin, everyone was silent again, and he couldn't get out of it with the captain of the Jiufan team.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, I think you guys seem to be in the top four in this competition, what are you doing here? I don't have humans coming over very often. ”

Solo explained: "Captain Arnold, you have always been Quentin's idol, the captain of this tournament gave each of us a qualification to challenge the elite team, Arnold has always wanted to come to you, we just sent him over, stop by to see the legendary team nine, right, Leviathan." ”

"Ah, yes, yes, we're just going to see. Now that it's here, then we won't bother, Quentin, come on, we're optimistic about you, and Solo and I will go first. ”

Leviathan hurriedly agreed, he just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible, if he stayed here, he would be finished.

"By the way, wait a minute, the captain seems to have sent me a letter yesterday, saying that it was related to the winner of this competition, and I almost forgot about it if you didn't come. ”

The old dwarf patted himself on the head, and then pulled out a crumpled letter from his bosom, which had not yet been opened.
