Godsend Field

Chapter 465 Blacksmith
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

There was a crisp sound of iron striking.

It has been two years since His Majesty and Duke Tianci met half of the tax burden of the empire!

In the town of Kiel in the Northeast Province, it is very lively at this time!This time of year is the time when a large number of items such as magic core animal skins are sold, and many merchants and chambers of commerce have sent people here.The exchanges here have also become busy. The shops in the middle are all set up by big chambers of commerce to purchase magic core animal skins and the like. The shops here do not have much business on weekdays, but they do especially during certain periods of time. Prosperous, as the saying goes, if you don't work for a year, you can work and eat for a year!Therefore, the rent of the shops here is extremely high, and only powerful chambers of commerce can afford it.

The mercenary hunters selling magic cores came to the middle street of the exchange one after another. Those who had regular customers went to the regular customers to sell them. If there were no ones, they inquired in every shop to see which one had a better price!
Some people simply put their goods on the spacious road surface and wait for pedestrians to buy them.

In addition to the two sides of the middle road, there are also many shops on both sides, but they are all selling clothes and other daily necessities, and the one on the left is the shop selling heavy goods of iron, especially the blacksmith shops are concentrated there.

However, there was a crisp sound of hammering iron in the shops with high rent in the middle, and a small blacksmith shop quietly appeared on both sides of the middle street, and it was still in the middle of the street.

"Hey, it's true these years. We come here every year, and there are strange things every year. This year is the most interesting! There is a blacksmith's shop on the middle street!" A mercenary looked at the blacksmith's shop in front of him and sighed. .

"Head, maybe his business is doing well?" said the mercenary next to him.

"You know what! Do you know how much the rent for this middle position is for a year? Even if a blacksmith beats it non-stop, the purple gold coins sold in the last year are not even enough for half a year's rent for this facade! I see, this pure There are too many purple gold coins, burn them!" said the group leader angrily.

"Captain, do you think he might be a craftsman? I remember a dwarf craftsman came from the next street!"

The head of the mercenary was stunned, "It's possible that you said that! Could it be that some dwarf craftsman moved? Or is there a new craftsman?"

"Head, why don't we go and have a look?"

"Okay, let's go and have a look! If it's really a craftsman, I might consider changing the weapon in my hand!"

"I agree! Leader, if you change to a new one, the old one will belong to me!"

"Hahaha! I can't do without you!"

Laughing loudly, a group of about ten mercenaries walked towards the blacksmith in front.The front of the blacksmith shop is open, and the inside is not too big, 15 meters long and [-] meters wide, divided into two rooms by the thick wood in the middle.

The small room on the left is only five meters long and wide, and the inside is quite messy. There is a stove in the middle, and behind the stove are black coals and piles of neat iron.At this time, a raging fire was burning in the stove, and a man in his thirties was wearing a waistcoat standing in front of the stove, striking a hot iron block.The man's head was lowered and his hair was loose, shaking with his body, making it difficult for people to see his true face.The muscles on the arms protruded, and the skin was covered with sweat.The hammer in his hand is huge, but it seems to be just a wooden stick in the man's hand!

The other room was cleaned up relatively clean and tidy!In the ten-meter-long and five-meter-wide room, except for the open front door, the other three walls were covered with all kinds of weapons.Long spears and heavy swords, fine swords and daggers, curved bows and sharp arrows, and sets of scale armors of different styles and sizes.

"It's a man of middle age! It doesn't look like a craftsman!" The mercenary leader was a little disappointed, but he went into the shop and looked at the weapons hanging on the wall.

A member of the regiment behind went straight forward and took a long sword from the wall, and pulled it out forcefully.

"Boo!" There was a cold crisp sound.

"Good sword!" The regiment leader frowned, and turned to look at the regiment member holding the sword.Having dealt with Bingren for so many years, you can tell a good sword from a bad one just by hearing it.

"Excuse me, do you want to buy anything?" At this moment, a beautiful and quiet woman walked in from the side, with her hair tied behind her head.She looks like the wife of a blacksmith in her prime.

"Let's take a look at the weapon!" The head of the regiment murmured, staring blankly at the woman in front of him, swallowing hard, and the rest of the regiment members were not much better, their eyes were straightened.

The woman didn't care about the performance of the group leaders, as if she was used to it, "Then take your time and just tell me which one you like!"

A dozen mercenaries nodded blankly, their heads following the woman.

The woman ignored the mercenaries, turned around and walked to the nearby stove room, took out a towel soaked in water from the basin next to it and wrung it dry, walked to the blacksmith and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Captain, I want this long sword, what do you think?" The mercenary beside him fondly played with the long sword in his hand.

The regiment leader regained his senses for a moment, reached out to take the long sword in the hands of the regiment members, and pulled it out.

"噗!" There was a cold and crisp sound of Jin Ge.The long sword is 1.2 meters long, the body of the sword is three fingers wide, and the middle of the sword is slightly depressed to form a groove.The body of the sword is smooth and flat, and it looks like a mirror when placed in front of it.Stretch out your finger and flick it, hum~~~
"Boss, can we try it?" The head of the group shouted loudly.

"Whatever!" The blacksmith took the big bowl from the woman and drank it, the cold water trickling down from the corner of his mouth, wetting the waistcoat on his chest.

The regiment leader winked, and the regiment members drew out their long swords and held them.

"Dang!" The two swords collided and made a burst of fire and impact.

The long sword in the leader's hand directly cut half a finger deep into the long swords of the members without any damage to himself.

"Good sword!" The surrounding team members couldn't help but praise and nodded.

The team leader also nodded in satisfaction, "It's really good, better than your previous one! Just buy this one, and you can throw away the one in your hand!"

"Yes!" The regiment members put away the damaged long sword and hung it back to their waists, took the new long sword excitedly, wiped it lovingly with their sleeves, and carefully inserted it back into the scabbard.Walking to the side of the stove room, "I want the long sword, boss, please make a price!"

The blacksmith put down the hammer in his hand and raised his head. Only then did everyone see the blacksmith's face clearly.The face is covered with dust, but the outline is clear. If the messy beard is removed, he might still be a handsome person.

"How about it!" The blacksmith looked at the mercenary and the long sword in his hand, "Give me the broken long sword on your waist, and it will be considered a replacement!"

"Change?" The mercenary's eyes widened.

"En!" The blacksmith finished speaking and continued to beat the iron block that was not too hot with his hammer.The woman next to him came up, "Give me that old one, and take this away from you!"

"Okay, okay!" The mercenary excitedly untied the long sword from his waist and handed it to the woman, and hung the new long sword on his waist, feeling very happy.

"Such a good thing! Let's buy it too!" The rest of the mercenaries immediately got excited and picked up their own weapons in the blacksmith shop.

In addition to the weapon, the regiment leader also picked up three pieces of armor.

"Boss, there are fifteen long swords and three armors in total. Let's make a price!" said the team leader.

"Boss, we also exchanged the long sword with you, so it's cheaper for you!" the mercenaries shouted.

The blacksmith threw the lukewarm iron block into the stove, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his arm, "Then give me two purple gold coins for the work!"

Two purple gold coins. . .It's like picking it up for nothing!
"Okay, okay!" The mercenaries were so happy!
"No, no! Fifteen long swords and three pieces of armor, no matter how cheap it is, it costs fifteen purple gold coins!" At this moment, there was a coquettish sound like a silver bell, and a beautiful woman trotted over.

If it was the past, everyone would definitely stop and look back to admire the beauties, but not now, it's all about the purple gold coins in their pockets!The group leader frowned, "Who are you, what do we care about you when we do business with the boss?"

"That's right, why don't you go and play over there, don't get meddled!" the mercenaries yelled.

The beautiful woman came to her face with a gloomy expression, "Fifteen are missing, and twenty purple gold coins will not be sold!"

The mercenaries were annoyed, "Who are you, why do you listen to me?"

"Why, just because I am the proprietress here!" The beautiful woman said proudly with her hands on her hips.

Boss?The mercenaries looked at the quiet woman just now, and then at the beautiful woman in front of them. . .Speechless, a blacksmith can have such two beautiful wives. . .

"Buy it or not? If you don't buy it, put it back!" the beautiful woman said, ready to put all the weapons back.

"Wait, wait! Let's buy it!" The team leader hurriedly took out twenty purple gold coins, and said in his heart that twenty purple gold coins to buy these high-quality long sword armors are definitely worth the money!
After taking the weapons and armor, the mercenaries looked at the blacksmith enviously, shook their heads and left.The shop is in the best location, and the wife is so beautiful.And there are still two. . .A blacksmith can do this. . .But having said that, this craft is really good!

"Hee hee!" The beautiful woman in the blacksmith's shop jingled the purple gold coins in her hand, "How about it, have my selling skills improved?"

The blacksmith smiled, "Yeah, Qin'er, you still have a bit of a magician's demeanor now, and you look more and more like the proprietress of our blacksmith shop! After a while, I'm afraid even Sister Lili will not be as good as you! "

Qin'er giggled, picked up a purple gold coin, put it in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully, "Why do you think people are so rich when they are mercenaries? Why were we so poor when we were mercenaries? In the end, we will have to pay more money." Only by selling the green bee royal jelly can I get gold coins to stay in the store!"

"Hehe!" Tianci took out the red-hot iron block and beat it.

"Brother Tianci, why did you give the first sword to that mercenary just now? It's the only middle-grade weapon in the store!" Lier felt a little regretful.

"What? You gave away the medium-grade weapon for nothing?" Qin'er's eyes widened and she pouted, "That's at least two hundred purple gold coins!"

"You guys, are you short of purple gold coins?" Tianci stopped what he was doing and stretched out his hand to pinch Qin'er's pouty mouth. They are destined! And as you saw just now, he put away the damaged long sword and hung it on his waist. It can be seen that he is a person who loves swords, and it is not wrong to give him the middle-grade long sword The most important thing is that they are not very rich, only the head of the group has middle-grade weapons, and the members of the group probably cannot afford them!"

Qin'er didn't buy it, "You said lightly, do you know how much this shop has to pay every year? And all your metals are picked up on the street! After opening the shop for so long, you either give it away for free or only charge a manual fee The blacksmith shop on the next street has complaints about the cost!"

"Hehe, it doesn't matter. Anyway, we don't open it all year round. Aren't we going to practice next month?" Tianci said casually.

"You don't eat or drink when you practice, what about Li'er and me? If you don't earn us more purple gold coins, do you want us to drink the northwest wind?" Qin'er pulled Li'er's hand hard.

"Oh, that's right! We can only drink the northwest wind!" Lier agreed.

"Qin'er, you are looking more and more like a little woman now!" Tianci put the iron block that had just been taken out into the water, and a burst of steam rose up.Holding Qin'er and Li'er's hands and sitting on the long rocking chair next to him, leaning on his back and gently rocking, "Actually, it's very comfortable to live this kind of ordinary life! Now I understand why Dad gave up on the saint's apprentice I am willing to give up the glory of being a strong man, and live quietly with my mother in a small remote village!"

Qin'er and Lier leaned on Tianci's shoulders, and slightly closed their eyes. The life of a normal person is indeed easy to make people feel happy.If they can stay together like this for the rest of their lives, even if they give up their current status as a mage and become a little girl, they would be willing!
The rocking chair swayed slightly.The three of them stopped talking, immersed in the quiet peace.

Not long after, Lier stroked Tianci's chest, "Brother Tianci, my grandfather's birthday will be on the eighth day of the next month, shall we go back?"

"Of course we have to go back! How can we be absent for the grandpa of the village chief? Didn't you choose to live in Keel Town because it is close to Yier Village? And you can often go back to see your Uncle Claire and the village chief's grandfather !” said Tianci.

Li'er pouted, "That sounds nice, don't think I don't know, you chose to live here because you and Qin'er met here!"

"What! Lier, where are you talking!" Qin'er shyly said.

"You guys met here. In front of our blacksmith shop is the place where Brother Tianci threw you down when you first met, right!" Lier tilted her head and pointed outside the door. There is a pit, where it will gather when it rains or splashes water.

Qin'er faltered, "You... how do you know... I never told you!"

"Hee hee, I overheard you talking in your sleep at night!" Lier laughed.

"I talk in my sleep?" Qin'er's eyes widened, "I...how can I talk in my sleep?"

"Haven't you heard of it? You think about it every day and dream at night. I never thought that you would still think about Brother Godsend when you go to bed at night!"

"You..." Qin'er's face was hot, she jumped up and attacked Li'er's armpit, "Let you laugh at me, let you laugh at me!"

"Ah!" Lier's body trembled violently, "God-sent brother, help me!"

"Hehe, why do I feel hungry all of a sudden, are you two hungry?" After the two had had enough trouble, Tianci held his stomach, "Let's stop here today, let's go eat after closing the door, shall we?"

"Okay!" Qin'er and Li'er agreed at the same time.

Tianci will suppress the fire in the stove, and Qin'er and Li'er ran to erect the door panels of the shop one by one and put them into the grooves at the door to block the shop front.The wooden boards are relatively heavy, even if Li'er secretly applied wind magic, it would still be difficult to lift alone, so she and Qin'er were lifted out without a support.Tianci also came out to help after pressing the stove. It was very easy with a wooden board in each hand!
"It's not dark yet, and you're about to close the stall! Boss, aren't you too industrious?" At this moment, a question sounded from behind.

The three of Tianci turned their heads, only to see Ayin and Lili couple striding forward.

"It's you guys!" Tianci put down the board in his hand and went up to meet him.

Ah Yin also ran over and hugged Tianci Xiong away, looked up and down Tianci, "Hahaha, now people in the capital are spreading rumors about where you have been back in the past few years? But no one knows. If it wasn't for Mrs. Zhen Tell us, we really dare not recognize you!"

Lili also came up and looked at Tianci, "That's right, if I didn't see Qin'er and Lier, I really wouldn't dare to recognize you as... why did you start to grow a beard? You don't even tidy up the messy ones! Qin'erli Don't you bother?"

Qin'er tilted her head and looked at Tianci and blinked, "Isn't this pretty good? It looks like a blacksmith!"

"Yeah, let's go to the street over there, and their blacksmiths are all like this!" Lier also nodded.

Lili is speechless!
"Ayin, don't talk for now, close the shop for me first!" Tianci pulled Ayin to the front of the shop.

Ah Yin walked into the shop without help, looked at the few weapons and armors left in the shop, picked up a handful and took them out to look carefully.

Tianci also stopped what he was doing, and walked in, "How about you get along!"

Ah Yin nodded, and flicked his index finger on the blade to make a buzzing sound, "It's made of fine iron! The blade is evenly proportioned, and the hilt is exquisite and smooth. Godsend, before I came here, I thought you had stayed in the middle for so many years." The craftsmanship will definitely regress, and I have never rested day and night all these years and should be able to surpass you, but only after seeing these weapons do I know that you are still above me!"

"Hehe, don't complain as soon as you come, you are a small craftsman of the empire, I can't compare to it!" Tianci smiled and patted Ah Yin on the shoulder.

"I can mention these in front of others, but I am ashamed in front of you. I can make fine iron like this, at least I can't do it!" Ah Yin was still a little disappointed.

"Godsend, you are not allowed to call our little craftsman Ayin from now on!" Lili walked into the shop.

"You are not allowed to be called a little craftsman... Could it be..." Tianci's eyes widened, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, "Ayin, do you mean that you have... already become a craftsman?"

Ah Yin nodded, hung the long sword back on the wall, and took out a long sword from the space ring with his backhand and handed it to Tianci, "Well, I also broke through recently. This is the first mid-grade long sword I created !"

Tianci took the long sword, drew out a flash of cold light, "Hehe, it's a pity that I don't have fighting spirit and I can't try it!"

"I have fighting spirit!" Ah Yin said in a low voice.

"You have?" Tianci was slightly surprised and then recovered. Master Finchlan also said that it is very normal for a craftsman to have fighting spirit, even if he has advanced fighting spirit, it is not uncommon. "Then give it a try, I also I really want to see your first middle-grade weapon!"

"Heck!" Li Li pursed her lips and laughed.

Godsent was taken aback, what's wrong?
"God-given...my battle qi...just broke through two levels!" Ah Yin lowered her head.

Just passed two grades?Due to the internal structure of middle-grade weapons, the injected battle energy will be weakened by two levels and released.Ah Yin only has two levels of vindictive energy, even if it is injected, it will be used up, so there is still a little bit to be released!

"Hahaha!" Both Qin'er and Li'er next to her couldn't help laughing, and Lili also grinned when she was infected.Only the embarrassed Ah Yin and the helpless Tianci were left.
