Chapter 296: Traitorous Senior Brother
The Copper Hammer's magician shop is located in the southern city area of the ancient city of Cangba, where there are dozens of large and small magician shops, all of which are operated by the hill dwarfs, and there are underground lava demon flame heat currents that can be used, so it is called the place where the hill dwarfers are more concentrated. The storefront of the copper hammer is not small, it is made of slag rough stones, it is enough to have a square circle of dozens of zhang, but the door outside the store can be crowded, and the store is deserted.
Ji Wenming personally swept away the dust that had been accumulated in the shop for several years, ready to open the door to welcome customers, seeing this little man diligent and practical, the old copper hammer stood outside the courtyard and kept pointing fingers, he had a new apprenticeship, he was in a good mood, and his face was full of joy,
Since the copper hammer was disabled in the arm, it has not been forged for several years, and the furnaces in the store are cold, and now in order to take the apprentices, it is necessary to open the furnace for casting, so he instructed Ji Wenming to knock dozens of pieces of coal from the yard and stack them in the shop, ready to start at any time.
Suddenly, someone came to the door, and as soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he was already shouting at the throat: "Ouch, the old disabled man has not sold the shop yet, and he still wants to regain his old business, have you practiced the art of the hammer with his left hand?
Looking at the comer, Copper Hammer's beaming eyebrows and eyes suddenly distorted, shrouded in frost, he curled his beard and said angrily: "Copper Whisker, what are you doing here?
Hearing that someone came to the door, Xi Wenming put down the broom in his hand, turned around and walked out of the door, his face was black at the moment, covered in mud, looking dirty and very humble.
Looking up, I saw a bearded hill dwarf demon standing at the door and looking at his master Copper Hammer, this should be Copper Whisker.
Ji Wenming didn't know the entanglement between the two people, but looking at the face of the old copper hammer, it was obviously very unpleasant, so he kept silent.
Seeing the slender Ji Wenming, the copper beard frowned, and said with a smile: "Copper hammer, I respect you for calling you a master, if you don't respect you, you are a cripple, do you think you can cover my craftsmanship when you accept a new apprentice?"
Copper Hammer sneered: "I don't have you as an apprentice who deceives the teacher and destroys the ancestors, if you have something, just say it, get out of the house if you have nothing to do, I don't have time to greet you!"
Bronze Whisker smiled and said: "How can it be said that you deceived the teacher and destroyed the ancestors? I have been studying art in your shop for more than ten years, have you ever taught me the skill of housekeeping? On the contrary, I help you take care of the shop for free, and all the money you earn is used by you to buy wine and have fun, how can you give me half of it? You use me as a free laborer, don't you allow me to open my own shop to make money?"
Remembering the trivial things of the year, the copper hammer is as black as iron.
Copper whisker was originally the apprentice of the copper hammer, good and easy, slippery and treacherous, the apprentice of the same period also has a name called copper new, in private, the copper hammer prefers copper new, honest and simple, iron intentions, so, it is regarded as a personal disciple, usually iron exploration everywhere with this personal apprentice, leaving only copper whiskers at home to watch the store.
Ten years ago, Copper Hammer took Copper New out to prospect, encountered an underground rat man riot, Copper New died, and he also lost an arm, and he escaped for his life and returned, but was betrayed by Copper Whisker.
The boy learned the craft of the copper hammer, and found that his senior brother was dead and the copper hammer was crippled, so he took the opportunity to turn against the water, and teamed up with outsiders to obtain the copper hammer's magician shop, and drove the copper hammer out of his shop on the grounds of disability, causing the copper hammer to be displaced, so he had to choose the corner of the southern district and opened a small magician shop.
However, because of the loss of his arm, the copper hammer had a bleak business, and if it hadn't relied on the rewards of old customers, he would have starved to death by now.
Because he hated the copper hammer for not paying attention to himself in the past, Tongsu still refused to let go of the copper hammer, making difficulties everywhere, suppressing the copper hammer business, on the other hand, he also wanted to learn his enchanting skills, this craft, the craftsmen who knew how to do it in the ancient city of Cangba were also very rare, so Tongxu took great pains to exploit the copper hammer.
It's just that the copper hammer knows the nature of the copper beard, and would rather starve to death than teach him the stunt, and the two have been facing each other until today, I heard that the copper hammer has accepted a new apprentice, and the copper hammer has come to the door to make trouble, wanting to see the quality of this apprentice.
The copper hammer was afraid that the copper beard would attack his new apprentice, so he sighed and said: "You took my shop, and now you are on your own, and you can be regarded as a famous magician in the ancient city of Cangba, I don't want to worry about the past contradictions between you and me, I just ask you not to make trouble at the door in the future, our well water does not interfere with the river water!
Copper Xu saw that the copper hammer was soft, so he smiled and said: "Of course you are good to me, even the magician shop was left to me, and I went to this corner to reopen the old business, I am grateful to you...... Come on, let's get down to business! This kid is your new apprentice, right? Copper Hammer, I'm not going to smash your business today, since you're open to do business, then of course I'm here to talk about something, my shop is short of manpower, you're disabled, why don't you give this kid to me?"
The copper hammer shook his head and said, "Impossible, don't talk about it!"
Copper Whisker grinned at the big gold tooth and smiled: "That's good, it's better to be like this, my shop is doing a prosperous business, the supply of raw materials is not enough, and now I need twenty pieces of Raw Earth Demon Copper Crystal, you just want to take your apprentice to practice, why don't you take this job?"
Copper Hammer's beard trembled, and he wanted to agree, he had no business for a long time and was short of customers, but when he thought of Copper Beard's personality, he still opened his mouth and refused: "There are many magician shops in Nancheng, you can go to other houses to have a look, we don't accept this business!"
Seeing that the old man was not fooled, Copper Beard couldn't help but shout loudly: "Don't do business? Everyone comes to evaluate and judge, the copper hammer magic shop actually watched the customer put down the dishes, and didn't want to do my business!"
Copper Xu shouted, his face was full of contempt, and he said to the copper hammer: "Old cripple, for the sake of everyone being old acquaintances, I brought you a business, you are a magician shop, and you have to pick and choose to do some work, believe it or not, I closed your shop?"
Copper Hammer is nearly eighty years old, although he is still young in the dwarf demon clan, but because of the emotional impact after the broken arm, his face is wrinkled, and he is old, and when he heard that the other party is going to seal his business, he can't help but stare at him and say angrily: "You dare!"
Copper Whisker smiled maliciously: "Dare? Why don't you dare?" I called someone to block your door, who will do business always have to ask, you don't even have the ability to provide raw materials Earth Demon Copper Crystal, who dares to do business with you?"
Copper Whisker is right, the magician shop smelting all kinds of magic gold is the lowest skill, although you can't make a few dollars, but you can't let people smash the signboard in vain when you open the door to do business.
Ji Wenming suddenly spoke: "How many Earth Demon Bronze Crystals do you want, how much are you going to give?"
Unexpectedly, this little guy of Mu Ne opened his mouth, and the copper beard was stunned, then turned his head to look at Ji Wenming and said, "I'll give you the highest price, twenty Earth Demon Copper Crystals, and I'll give you a Golden Crystal!"
Ji Wenming looked at the copper hammer and asked, "Master, do we have any money?"
Copper Hammer didn't expect this kid to be a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and sighed and said: "Earn is to earn, copper ore is smelted into Earth Demon Copper Crystal, the cost is very low, twenty Earth Demon Copper Crystals only need half a gold crystal, but this kid is uneasy and kind, we better not do business with him!"
