This brave man is a scumbag

Chapter 358 Tia and the Blacksmith

"no problem?"

Don Quixote looked at Tiya's back, with a worried look on his face, "For her...maybe..."

"No, exactly."

Herrinen shook his head, his old face was full of indifference, "It's better to let Tiya get in touch with this now than to realize it after being hurt later."

"Katia, she admits death, why..."

Luo Ka was hesitant to speak at the side. He knew the character of his sister, and it was true to admit death.Now there is a great chance that Tiya doesn't resent anyone anymore, she is just angry with herself and arguing with herself.

"Caring is messing up."

Zhou Li on the side shook his head, he was not worried about Tiya's situation.He looked at Lorca and reminded: "Your sister is smarter than you think, she just doesn't want to think, not that she can't think."

"I'm afraid she will compete with me."

Lorca sighed, and it wasn't that he didn't believe Tiya.However, he had never seen Tiya with that helpless expression.You must know that even if he was the elder brother back then, it was Tiya who helped him beat up half of the boys in the class and made him stand out.From childhood to adulthood, Tiya has always looked confident.

"Forget it, good people will do it to the end."

Seeing Helining's unconscious worry at the side, Zhou Li felt a little helpless towards these two people.

There is no way, with Helining as the head, the eldest prince Evan as the assistant, the second prince Luoka as the bastard, and the third prince as the group pet. This family is not like other royal families except intrigues and intrigues. Rights are for these people Not even half-price eggs.As the favorite of the group, Tiya is the main object of these people's silent concern.Even the majestic emperor Herinen would worry about his daughter's mood.

"Let me persuade her."

Zhou Li waved his hands, and said to the two of them, "Although I'm usually not good at speaking and shy, I still have a lot of research in persuading people. I persuaded those nobles in Magnum. Yes, don’t worry, there will always be some effect.”

Broken, more worried.

Zhou Li's gag made the atmosphere less dignified than before. Helining secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said gratefully to Zhou Li: "Please. Tiya is a good girl. I usually ignored her feelings."

"Okay, wait for me for a while."

Just as Zhou Li was about to lift his foot to leave, Loka suddenly spoke and said to him, "Tiya should be near the stream next to Mosk No. [-] Garden, she likes it very much."

Footsteps paused, Zhou Li nodded, left the building without saying anything.Then he made a beeline for the Mosk furnace.

The Mosk melting pot is the second miracle besides the Tarik energy tower.The reason why it is called a miracle is because this giant factory that produces 60.00% of Tarik's steel has a building area that almost exceeds most towns.At the same time, it is a true miracle that the furnace has never had any accidents since its construction.

"Hello, which smelter do you want to go to?"

At the entrance of the Great Melting Furnace North Three, the receptionist saluted Zhou Li respectfully, and then introduced to him: "There are 320 three northern melting furnaces, including 32 large melting furnaces and three ultimate melting furnaces. If you need it, I A tour of any of the furnaces can be booked for you now."

"Zane's Forge."

In this huge melting furnace that can no longer be simply described as a "factory", there is a smelting plant named "Zane" located on the edge of the ground floor.Due to the small output, the Zane smelter has not started work for a long time and has been on standby.

"Zane?"

The receptionist froze for a moment when he heard the unfamiliar name, but his professionalism made him react quickly. He opened the notepad with search runes engraved on the side, and quickly found the melting pot that Zhou Li mentioned.

"Zane... Yes, the furnace at No. 202, Third Street, Northern District."

After stating the specific address, the receptionist reminded out of politeness: "This furnace has not been opened for about a year, and no one is in it except the maintenance staff. And this furnace is a miniature furnace, there is nothing to visit value, why don't you take a look at those large or ultimate furnaces?"

"no need."

Zhou Li tactfully refused the reception, he didn't hate this reception at all, after all, he served him sincerely and meticulously.After putting away the exclusive items for the brave, Zhou Li asked the receptionist, "Did anyone else want to go to Zane just now?"

"There is one, but she went from the South District. I don't have any specific records here."

After getting the answer, Zhou Li nodded.Afterwards, he entered this huge furnace city, walking through it with ease.Even though it was his first time here, he seemed to have traveled thousands of times, and he never looked at a map or signboard.

Because, he has really walked this road thousands of times.

A small building that looks like the blacksmith's shop in ancient times.It is very simple, but it is tidy and tidy due to frequent maintenance.Near the metal gate by the door hangs a small rough wooden sign that appears to be hand-carved.The handwriting on it was deformed due to the long-term high temperature, and it was not easy to see clearly.

"Be strong and protect those I love."

Zhou Li read those words from the bottom of his heart. He knew this building and what this melting pot represented to Tiya.

In the previous life, Zhou Li was Tiya's comrade-in-arms and one of her few friends.On a rainy night, Tiya once told Zhou Li many things, including her mother.

A gentle, ordinary, kind woman.When Tia was 16 years old, she died of a disease, and Herrinen tried everything but failed to save her life.On the day she left, Herlining turned gray all night, as if she had aged 30 years.If it weren't for the emperor's medal on his chest, he might have given up on himself.

According to Tiya's description, her mother was the most powerful woman she had ever seen in her life.

"Dong dong dong."

There was a knock on the door, and Zhou Li could hear the tinkling of irons inside.He also knew that Tia could hear the knock on the door.

The clinking of irons gradually slowed down, and the girl's slightly rapid panting gradually became clearer.After a while of footsteps, the door was opened, revealing the girl inside.

The long golden hair was tied into a ponytail and fell behind her, and the hair that fell on both sides stuck to her sweaty cheeks.The black training shorts outline beautiful curves.Her sleeves were pulled up high, revealing her fair forearm, with beautiful and healthy muscle lines, and a thin piece of iron clamped between her slender and white fingers.

Tiya looked at Zhou Li, her red lips parted slightly, her pretty face was full of surprise, "How do you know I'm here?"

This place is a piece of pure land in Tiya's heart, and it is also a dream left to her by her mother.Except for himself, no one knew that he had such a melting pot, not even his father Herining.But for some reason, Tiya looked at the smiling young man in front of her, but absurd thoughts arose in her heart.

"We, did we know each other before?"

It was a coincidence, Tiya blurted out such a sentence.As soon as she asked, she felt something was wrong.But she is not those girls who always act like a little girl, she just looks at the boy in front of her with doubts and puzzlement on her face.

"Maybe we know each other."

Zhou Li looked at the furnishings in this furnace, a blast furnace for making iron, an exquisite forging table, and neatly arranged objects.It was no different from the hut he remembered.The only difference is that there is no aromatherapy from Elma, and the spirits hidden on the roof.

"You... What's the matter?"

In a panic, Tiya put the iron piece in her hand aside. At this time, she was not wearing the armor of an imperial princess, but a short coat and trousers like a blacksmith.Although she doesn't have a good relationship with her etiquette teacher, she also knows that this is not what a princess should look like when facing foreign guests.What's more, I'm still sweating, which is very inappropriate.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to persuade you."

Zhou Li withdrew his gaze, looked at Tiya, and said with a faint smile, "Do you like blacksmithing?"

Tiya quickly collected her mood and calmed down.She nodded and said frankly: "Yes, my hobby is actually blacksmithing."

At the end, she seemed to think of something, and she didn't forget to add, "Of course, now only you know my hobbies."

"It's pretty good. It's more or less a craft. Unlike Magnum III, who can do nothing but put on that stinky face and slump on a chair all day long. Last time I asked him to create a magic impact for me." Even if he doesn't know, it's a waste of my feelings."

Hearing this, Tiya Yan laughed, "I can't even make what you said."

"Of course, neither will I."

Zhou Li spread his hands, and said frankly: "I don't know anything about blacksmithing, except that I know how to hammer iron."

"But it is enough to know that it is enough to practice hard."

Tiya shook her head and said with a smile: "Many people don't know that iron needs to be tempered repeatedly. Loka also said that iron is just a puddle of water solidified and turned into a solid. I was so angry that I didn't talk to him for a long time."

"Yeah, that's what I thought at first. But a friend of mine later told me that iron has to be tempered thousands of times to become steel, and steel has to be tempered thousands of times to make weapons and armor. The same is true for blacksmiths, only by swinging thousands of heavy hammers , so that the skills can be sublimated.”

Hearing these words, Tiya's eyes suddenly brightened. She looked at Zhou Li and asked excitedly, "Who is this friend of yours? Can I meet her?"

This is you ten years from now.

Zhou Li looked at the jumping girl in front of him, smiled secretly in his heart, and said calmly on the surface: "It's not convenient for me to reveal her name. If there is a chance in the future, I can introduce you to her."

"Okay, thanks."

Tiya leaned over slightly to express her gratitude. She followed Zhou Li's line of sight to look around the furnishings in the furnace, with a look of reminiscence in her eyes.For some reason, from the very first meeting, Zhou Li felt very kind to her.Just as the two once fought side by side, they have an inexplicable connection with each other.Coupled with Zhou Li's identity as a brave man, Tiya, who had been tense all the time, also relaxed a little.

She took a towel to wipe off the sweat, then hung it aside.Zhou Li was staring at the piece of iron curiously. After hearing the sound, he turned his head and asked Tiya:
"What is this doing?"

"Actually, I didn't do anything."

Tiya stepped forward, picked up the iron piece, and said softly: "I just enjoy the feeling of hammering this piece of iron. I don't have to think about anything, I don't have to think about anything. Just swing the hammer, hit it down, swing it up, hit it down .Soon, the iron will be sharp and hard."

Looking away from the iron plate, Zhou Li stared at Tiya, knowingly asked: "Did your father teach you this?"

"No, it's my mother. This furnace is also a birthday present she bought for me."

With a smile on her lips, Tiya looked at the piece of iron in her hand and said with emotion: "Do you think my mother is a blacksmith?"

"Is not it?"

Zhou Li asked with some doubts on his face: "Forging iron... shouldn't it be the blacksmith who will teach you?"

"My mother is a doctor, a lady of every family, and can't even lift a wrought iron hammer."

Turning the hammer weighing tens of kilograms in her hand, Tiya smiled and said to Zhou Li: "She doesn't know how to forge iron at all, and she is also afraid of heat, so she doesn't like places like blacksmiths at all."

"But why..."

Zhou Li pointed to this room with a proper puzzled expression, the meaning was self-evident.

"My mother is a lady, but she never wanted her daughter to be a lady."

Putting the hammer aside, Tiya knocked on the furnace in front of her. The voice was no longer as energetic as before, but with a touch of softness.

"I have been very strong since I was a child, and I also like to fight against injustice. Loka was very thin at the time and was always bullied by others. I didn't dare to tell the teachers and parents. After I found out, I taught the boys in his class by myself. Fan, was caught by the teacher and sent to the office. At that time, my father was busy and didn’t go home very often, so only my mother came to pick me up.”

"At that time, I thought that my mother would scold me severely. After all, I was a girl. I came to the senior grade to fight, and I was beaten to shame. I was not a lady at all. But what I didn't expect was that my mother took me back. She didn't scold me when she got home, she just taught me not to use violence to solve the problem easily, and then praised me for helping Lorca get justice."

"She doesn't think it's wrong for a girl not to take part in the civil service, not to learn makeup, or to find a good man to marry. She said that the most important thing a person should do in life is to make the choice deep in his heart. She Say, since you want to uphold justice, then do it, and work hard to become a justice upholding person."

"After getting my answer, my mother helped me sign up for the military academy. After six years of hard training, I also got a job as a sword dancer. In my year, my mother spent most of her savings to buy this furnace .She knew I liked blacksmithing, and even though it made me sweat and I had no image or any gentility, she still had my back.”

"My mother told me that all labor in this world does not distinguish between high and low."

"It should be the same with people."
