Durin's Diary

Chapter 380 Lublin's First Soul Mentor
Today, Ode Louis came to Lublin with his old friend Korda Gaoling, one of the fifteen members of the Engineering Academy of the giant race.

It's nothing new. I just heard that a half-giant suddenly made a breakthrough and went from being a skilled craftsman to a master.

The gap is too big, and the Giant King Court is worried that some half-giant cubs wandering outside might do some tricks - it's true, the giants certainly welcome a half-giant to become a master craftsman.

If it is fake, the giant craftsman really can't afford to lose face. The order given to Korda by the royal court is also very simple. If it is fake, then don't blame the giant for killing without blinking an eye.

"I heard it was Du Lin who recommended this kid. He's even more capable than you and me. I heard he even patented something called cemented carbide, with several different hardness levels. Has the demon hunter Rick Leahy heard of him?"

"This young man is truly remarkable. Last time in the Great Wood, he single-handedly fought against the hobgoblin company and rescued five young forest giants from the hands of those butchers. We, the Giant King's Court, owe him a great debt of gratitude."

"Dulin made him a set of weapons three days ago. Last night, he rode his old horse alone and charged into a pack of stray frost wolves that were besieging the eastern pioneer village. He killed seventeen wolves by himself, and only his robe was torn and there was a scratch on his face. It is said that there is not even a nick on his chain mail or weapons. You know how hard the bones of frost wolves are, right?"

"Yes, if it's true, it seems that Brother Durin has really made metal that is better than our giant meteorite ingots." Korda sighed and looked at the local person in charge: "When will Peskaf Jacob come?"

"Well, my messenger just arrived, but Mr. Du Lin's workshop has been very busy in the past two days..."

"Forget it, let's go over there." Ode Louis interrupted the conversation and patted the giant brother's arm. "Let's go over and take a look. A ruthless kid like Durin wouldn't do anything rash."

"Okay, let's go and see if he's a master or not. We can tell at a glance."

Having said that, the two of them did not wait any longer, but walked towards Du Lin's workshop one after the other.

Along the way, Odd and Korda noticed that there were many demon hunters on the road. Most of them had new equipment. The leather armor and chain mail on their bodies were mostly of the same style, but the decorations and leather ornaments varied greatly.

"The chain mail links are very fine, and only a master craftsman like Durin who can manipulate metal can make them so quickly." Louis looked at the witcher who was chatting with someone.

"See that little hammer on his waist? It's a matte ingot that doesn't reflect light. It's the premium metal that assassins dream of." The giant Korda exclaimed.

Following the road to the workshop, I saw the line of witchers from afar, and they had already lined up outside the gate.

The two men, wearing the coats of the Engineering Association, entered the workshop after announcing themselves.

As soon as I entered, I saw Du Lin making equipment for a demon hunter.

The team formed two completely different tributaries here, one stopped in front of Dulin and the other stopped in front of the smelting area.

High-quality products and mass production are carried out simultaneously. This kid Du Lin has good methods.

At just one glance, Louis understood what the child was planning.

At the same time, he also saw Peskaf Jacob - the half-blood giant was shirtless and hitting the sword blank in front of the anvil.

Just one blow and Louis felt that the young man was not lying.

Each hammer is as precise as a machine.

Each blow was delivered with the same force. "I'm not lying. Judging by his control of strength, he's already a master." Korda's words were no longer filled with doubt. "Yes, a 26-year-old master. It seems like this is truly giving Dulin, our good boy, the chance to soar to the sky."

Having said that, Korda walked over.

Louis followed behind him.

The old friend in his eyes stepped over the guardrail and came to Peskaf. "Young man, I am very happy to see you become a master. As a fellow giant, will you follow me back to the Giant King's Court?"

Wow, is this the test right from the start?

Louis was a little worried because his old friend definitely didn't mean to really take Pescav back to the Giant King's Court when he said that - giants always repay favors, and if Pescav really wanted to go back with him, Korda would scold the young man and then expel his family on behalf of the Giant King's Court.

But what Louis worried about did not happen.

The young man shook his head. Because of the height difference, he looked up at Korf. "My Lord from the Giant King's Court, I owe everything to the guidance Lord Durin gave me a few days ago. I had been stuck at the threshold of becoming a skilled craftsman for eleven years, but it was his guidance that made me understand why I couldn't move forward. I am willing to serve him for life. I thank the Giant King's Court for inviting me, but whether as a giant or a member of the Jacob family, I cannot be a traitor. I apologize, my Lord."

Korf nodded and patted Pescav's shoulder. "Very well, I won't force you, but I will supervise you, child. You said you would serve Durin for life, so I will see you fulfill your oath."

"Please rest assured, my lord. I, Pescav Jacob, will keep this oath."

Then he came to Louis, his face full of joy: "See, this is our giant's child, stubborn, brave and loyal."

"Congratulations." Louis exclaimed with a smile.

"Let's go meet Dulin. I want to see what kind of charm and methods this kid has." Korda said.

So the two old men came to a nearby place, and they watched as Durin listened to a witcher's request, and stretched out his hand. Several ingots automatically flew into the air and mixed into liquid, and then split into several pieces, some turning into broadswords, some into short swords, and some into a dagger and a hammer.

Then there was the armor, a set of lightweight leather armor made of frost wolf skin. It was a good piece of stuff, and Durin obviously knew how to make the best use of it. He even used part of the wolf skin to make a wolf-head helmet.

"It takes me a week to complete a set of weapons, but this kid only took ten minutes to do it. This is the strength of Zhu Longzi, it's really terrifying." Korda said here, watching Du Lin pick up the big sword, and with just one sword, he cut off the ten-centimeter steel cylinder used as a target.

He handed the sword to everyone, and everyone rushed to look at it, but no one saw any deformation or chipping on the blade.

The witchers cheered loudly.

Du Lin smiled and handed the equipment to the buyer, who left satisfied.

"The weapons made by Peskaf are all made of fine steel, and the weapons made by Durin should be what he called alloy weapons. He doesn't have to worry about the ingredients being leaked, because with his skills, there is no possibility of leakage at all." Korf analyzed.

Louis nodded, agreeing deeply.
