Chapter 241: The Maker of the "Golden Arm".
"Bang Bang Bang!"
Chris heard what seemed to be the sound of striking iron somewhere in front of him, so he walked over curiously, and saw an old man in his sixties and seventies striking an unknown metal with a hammer.
He was dressed in shabby overalls, his hair and beard were gray, but his thin figure was holding a hammer that looked very heavy, and his eyes were gentle and vicissitudes.
"Little one, do you want to build something?" As if seeing an unfamiliar face, the blacksmith stopped what he was doing and smiled to solicit business.
"No, no, I'm just passing through. Chris shook his head hurriedly, God knows what kind of strange figure the old blacksmith was.
"Hey, I can build anything for you, and my fee is low. The old man continued to persuade, like a hungry boss who hadn't opened for a year.
Chris looked at his shop, the shelves were empty, there were no customers or apprentices, and it seemed that he was the only one in the shop.
Chris shook his head decisively, deciding not to linger, so he raised his feet and prepared to move on.
And at this moment, as if seeing that the guest who had been so hard to come was about to slip away before his eyes, the old blacksmith hurriedly said:
"How about I can help you build that piece in your pocket?"
Chris looked at the old man in disbelief, the things in his pocket were nothing more than three things, the "greedy pocket watch", Caroline's pearls, and ...... The extraordinary characteristics of that piece of "thief".
"You, you'll craft magical items?" asked Chris, stammering.
"Of course. The old man looked smug, "The whole street, I can create magical items alone." ”
Chris swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked tentatively:
"Sir, are you a 'mechanical expert'?"
The old blacksmith looked puzzled, as if he had never heard of the word, and wondered:
"'Mechanic'? What is that? I've never heard of it, but the people on the street call me 'Old Blacksmith,' haha. ”
"That's right. Chris was a little disappointed, but also relieved.
Although he has not been a member of the Church of the God of Machines and Wisdom for a long time, Chris has been keenly aware that the potion recipe after the "Scholar" path sequence 8 seems to be firmly controlled by the church.
And by chance, Chris heard Wardhouse say that in the Republic of Ireland and even the entire Northern Continent, there are basically no wild "mechanical experts".
Just when Chris thought that the other party was just fooling him, he heard the old man continue:
"I once used gold to create a pure gold arm for a beautiful one-armed lady, but unfortunately I never saw it again. That golden arm is my pride, not only beautifully made, but also keeps the user young. ”
When he heard the first half of the sentence, Chris looked at the old blacksmith in shock, and after hearing the second half of the sentence, the spirit in Chris's body was already running rapidly, and he was ready to flee.
Although he hadn't joined the "Punisher" when he saw that arm, he clearly remembered the beautiful and bleak love story behind that third-level seal.
Of course, the most important thing is that the "golden arm" has been taken away by the church for more than a hundred years, and it has been sleeping in Hathaway's tomb for decades, so ......
"Old sir, I wonder if you've ever heard of 'Craftsman'?" said Chris cautiously tentatively this time.
"Haha, it turns out that you asked about the sequence 7 'craftsman' of the 'scholar' path, I was indeed a 'craftsman' when I was young. The old blacksmith suddenly came to his senses, and said something that made Chris's heart tremble.
He was a "craftsman" when he was young?! So he is certainly not a "craftsman" now, at least an "alchemist...... No, it shouldn't be the "alchemist", but the "golden arm" he created has been a hundred or two hundred years ago.
One or two hundred years later, still alive, who knows how many have been promoted to the sequence!
And the ability to create a third-level seal, although it may be due to Hathaway's resentment, but what did he say just now...... Can you stay young forever?!
Chris suddenly thought of one thing, that is, the old gentleman knew Sequence 7 "Craftsman", but not "Mechanic Expert", and the teacher once said that "Craftsman" is the ancient name for "Mechanic Expert......
How many years did this old blacksmith live?!
The more Chris thought about it, the paler his face became, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously, and asked cautiously:
"Sir, I don't know how extraordinary you are now?"
"How many sequences?" the old man looked up at the sky, as if remembering something, but at last he shook his head and replied, "It's been too long for me to remember." ”
"Then I'll ask you to help me make a magical item, and what's the pay?" asked Chris again.
The old man seemed to hear the topic of interest, and laughed:
"I said, I want a very low price, well, I don't have anything of value on you, a pocket watch made by a 'soothsayer'......
"Hey, it's a magical item made by two pieces of characteristics, and it seems that the person who made this pocket watch is a little interesting. ”
When Chris heard the old man's words, he opened his mouth again in shock, trying to digest the information inside.
It is true that his "greed for money" is made by the extraordinary characteristics of the "soothsayer" path sequence 9, but what does he mean by the joint production of the two traits? Could it be that there is another extraordinary feature of other ways in "greed for money"?
The person he said was naturally the head team, and it seemed that he would have to ask Wardhouse what was going on when he went out.
However, immediately after, the old man's words made the hairs on Chris's whole body stand up.
"Huh, 'gambler'?" the old man looked at Chris suspiciously, and smiled slightly, "Little one, you're quite interesting, aren't you?" ”
Yes!
Chris finally learns that even though he is already an extraordinary person in Sequence 7, there is still a huge danger to his life on this mysterious street.
Even Wardhouse couldn't see that one of his biggest secrets was revealed by the other party.
"Tsk, little one, I didn't expect you to really have something of great value on you. The old man stroked his gray beard and said with a smile.
"What...... What?" Chris already had the idea of getting out of here, he didn't want to be an apprentice to the shop tomorrow.
"The golden roulette wheel inside you, if I'm not mistaken, it should be called the 'Wheel of Fortune'. The old man said with some uncertainty, as if he was recalling something far away.
