After Kiel shot a whole pot of bows and arrows, he was released by the old hunter Tost, who agreed to come back to shoot another pot of arrows at noon, and Kiel said goodbye to them.
When they came to the front yard, Keir also helped the young hunter he entrusted to clean the stables for his horses, and then fed them with water.
After that, Kiel took the long sword contaminated by evil forces alone, walked out of the hunter's stronghold, and came to the artisan area in the next area. Walking into the weapons workshop that was bustling early in the morning, Kiel found the craftsman who had promised to repair the long sword.
"Have you made a decision?" The craftsman just came to the workshop in the morning, and the clothes on his body were still relatively clean. He took Kiel's long sword, pulled it out, glanced at it, and asked Kiel casually.
Kiel hummed, took out the money bag from his arms, and shook it, the money bag full of silver coins and copper coins made a crashing sound of coins overflowing.
"The money is also prepared. In fact, it doesn't cost much to simply heat the long sword and then forge and quench it. I just told you that the long sword is thin and tough. After being corroded by evil forces, it will lose part of it. Some new materials need to be added here, so as to at least restore the original level of the long sword." The craftsman hunted out the long sword, and then took a small wooden stick to poke the eroded part of the long sword and said.
"Uh, what do you mean?" Keel asked, frowning.
Glancing at Kiel's purse, the craftsman laughed heartily. He asked Kiel to wait a moment, turned around and walked into the workshop, and after tinkering for a while, he took out a wooden tray with a brightly colored colored cloth covered with something.
Walking to the door of the workshop, the craftsman asked Keir to sit down, and he sat down too. After sitting on the stone table and chair where the guests were entertained, the craftsman did not take off the colored cloth on the tray, but said to Kiel, "Do you know magic material weapons?"
Kiel glanced at the things on the tray, then looked at the craftsman sitting across from him and said, "I know, I heard that they are some weapons with better performance than ordinary sophisticated weapons."
"It's good to know. The so-called magic weapon is a weapon made of rare and precious magic materials. It is an indispensable thing for famous fighters. Compared with sophisticated steel weapons, they often have various superiority in performance. ability to predict."
"Various?" Keel noticed the word.
"Yes, all kinds. You don't think there is only one kind of magic material, do you? In fact, there are countless types of magic materials, but in fact, there are many fewer suitable for adding to weapons. There are also many types of weapons, and there are many types of magic materials that are suitable for adding There are even fewer weapons such as long swords and machetes." Speaking of this, the craftsman pointed to the things on the tray in front of him.
There was a slight smile on the corner of Kiel's mouth. He had figured out what the craftsman meant. This was the material for selling magic weapons to him, and he probably had the idea of killing him.
However, Kiel is still very curious about the magic materials in this craftsman's hands, especially the things that are suitable for forging into weapons. He has never inquired about this kind of news in the tavern. It seems that this kind of news is very important. , People who know don't say it, or his level was too low before, and there is basically no need to know similar news.
But why is he recommended by the craftsman now? really weird.
"Let me see, what do you have?" Kiel asked directly.
"Of course, please take a look." The craftsman took off the colored cloth that got in the way and put it in his arms. Six small piles of materials were placed one by one on the wooden tray, each with a different image. Keel also looked at them curiously, waiting for the craftsman's introduction.
After coughing twice, the craftsman who saw that Keir was very interested pointed to the materials and introduced them to Kiel one by one.
He first pointed to the one on the left of the three in front of Keel. This thing is a small pile of fiery red granular metal. The red is very shiny, and the surface looks like it has been oiled. Each of these granular metals is only two millimeters in size. , Kiel looked carefully and found that the small particles were irregular in shape.
"This is red copper. It is a precious ore associated with copper ore. Although it is an associated ore, it is not mixed with copper ore raw materials when it is mined. Even if it is smelted, it will not be the same as ordinary ore. Copper is fused together. Its special feature is that the weapon with copper added will become extremely flexible. The original very hard steel will also become soft, but its strength will not weaken.”
Curiously, Keel picked up a copper ore grain with his fingers, and found that the thing was not light. When he squeezed it, his nails could slightly deform the copper.
After putting it down, Keel signaled the craftsman to continue the introduction.
Seemingly seeing that Kiel was dissatisfied with red copper, the craftsman continued to introduce: "The one in the middle in front of you is the most common magic material."
What the craftsman was talking about was a small black metal ingot. This kind of metal was dark all over and looked very stubborn.
"It is black iron, which is commonly found in iron ore. It is heavier than ordinary iron, and its hardness is also higher, but its flexibility is relatively poor."
Kiel smiled: "Then if it is combined with red copper, wouldn't it be a hard and flexible material?"
Unexpectedly, the craftsman nodded: "That's right, I heard that some high-end knight weapons are made of metal materials with various properties mixed together as the base material. Weaknesses in various materials."
Hearing this, Keir muttered in a low voice: "Yes, that's how it is."
Immediately afterwards, the craftsman introduced the material on the right in front of Keel to Kiel.
This material is a kind of white fine snow-white particles similar to salt. If he didn't know that the craftsman on the opposite side would not fool him with salt, Kiel would really think it was salt.
Seemingly seeing what Kiel was thinking, the craftsman on the opposite side said with a smile: "It's not salt, it's a rare metal broken out of volcanic rock. It's metal, not salt. After melting at high temperature, this thing It becomes a shiny liquid like any other metal."
"It's called fire-absorbing gold, and it has a magical ability to absorb flames. Of course, it doesn't absorb infinitely. It absorbs as much high-temperature flames as you want, and then releases them slowly over a long period of time."
Keir was very interested in this thing, and felt that it was very useful for making armor. With it added to the shield armor, it can resist the burning of the flame very well.
Thinking of this, Keir asked the price of this fire-absorbing gold.
Unexpectedly, the price of this thing shocked Keir.
"Such a small pile needs two gold coins? No, what is such a small amount worth?" Kiel was very surprised. He knew the purchasing power of local gold coins, and a fine steel long sword was only at such a price. .
"It is said that this is a material mined from volcanic rocks. Wherever there are volcanoes here, they are all brought in by caravans from outside. They are very rare."
"Well, then you can go on with the introduction first, and I'll look at other materials." Kiel said helplessly. He thought the item was good, but the price was too exaggerated. He also asked about the prices of other red copper and black iron, all of which could be purchased with silver coins. Only this fire-absorbing gold was priced at gold coins. Of course, the prices between the two also represent the different effects of their magical powers.
Then, the craftsman on the opposite side smiled and pointed to a piece of bright yellow wood on his left side.
The wood looked inconspicuous, but when Keel looked it over carefully, he found that there was a slight blue light on the surface of the wood. It was just because it was daytime and the sky was bright, so he couldn't see it clearly. And vaguely, Keel could feel that he seemed to have a vague connection with this wood.
"This wood is the core material of the big tree in the center of the temple of the Saturnalia Church. The big tree was planted by the Saturnalia Church when it first came to Kendal, and it has been several decades old. Every year, the Saturnia Church will surround it This big tree is used for many rituals, so this wood is filled with a lot of magical power. You can try to hold it in your hand.” The craftsman smiled and picked up the wood and put it in Kiel’s palm .
Kiel first held the wood in front of his eyes and looked at it, and found that there was indeed a subtle blue light shining on the surface of the wood, but it seemed that because of shyness, after Kiel stared at it, its blue light quickly retracted inside.
Kiel then held it in his hand as the craftsman said. At first it was no different, he looked across.
After a while, Keel felt as though he felt a constant surge of energy out of the wood he was holding, very slight but palpable and constant.
"It's amazing, I feel it." Kiel nodded and returned the item to the craftsman.
The craftsman seemed to have a plan in his chest, and asked with a smile: "How is it? If this thing is mounted on the hilt, isn't it very powerful?"
Keir was noncommittal, but he had a question: "This thing is very powerful, but isn't this thing from the Saturnalia Church? If you take it out and sell it, aren't you afraid that the other party will make trouble for you?"
Unexpectedly, the craftsman whose name Kiel didn't know reached into his chest, and directly took out a badge hanging around his neck. Kiel took a look and found that it was exactly the same as a metal badge hanging on the wall in the weapons workshop.
That is the rune emblem of the Artisan God.
Kiel raised his eyebrows: "Are you a priest of the Church of the God of Craftsman?"
"Isn't that right? I'm a shepherd, but at the same time I'm also a craftsman." The craftsman smiled and nodded at the badge hanging around his neck.
Kiel quickly stood up and gave a salute: "I'm sorry, Lord Shepherd."
After he saluted and sat down, the shepherd on the opposite side, the middle-aged man who was still a craftsman, said to Kiel: "Don't worry, these materials were either exchanged from merchants who traveled far away through trading, or materials exchanged between churches. We Under the command of the God of Craftsman, these materials must be turned into real things to exert their value."
After finishing speaking, he began to introduce a few small round metal **** in the middle.
Each of these round metal **** is about the size of a ping-pong ball, smooth throughout, and the surface reflects the surrounding scene. Keel picked up one and shook it, but it was still a bit heavy.
"What material is this?"
Facing Kiel's question, the shepherd craftsman on the opposite side explained: "This is a new material, called moonlight iron. It is a new priest who accepted God's favor and became a moon **** shepherd recently according to The thing made by the ritual. I know what you want to ask. Moonlight iron, as long as it is night, it will emit dim moonlight. It is said that it can expel bad luck and evil spirits for the user. Anyway, the moon **** shepherd is Said so."
Kiel carefully looked at the moonlight iron in his hand. The smooth ball reflected the surrounding scene, and Kiel's face became huge on it, as weird as a plate.
"In addition, I have to tell you about this moonlight iron. We haven't mastered the relevant forging technology here, so if you like it, you have to buy it in its entirety and install it on your weapons and equipment in an indestructible way. In addition, once the shape of the moonlight iron is destroyed, it will be destroyed from the spherical shape, and its strength will be greatly reduced. Let me explain clearly to you first."
Kiel squinted his eyes and looked at the moonlight iron ball in his hand: "This can only be made into a weight ball on the hilt of a sword."
"I also think it's better to use it as a counterweight ball at this stage." Craftsman Mu said with a smile.
Keir found it a little strange. He looked at the shepherd craftsman opposite and said: "Red copper and black iron make up for the defect of the sword, fire-absorbing gold strengthens the armor, the heart of the Saturn tree makes the hilt, and the moonlight iron turns into a weight ball. It seems A whole set of things, then there is the last item, please introduce it?"
The shepherd craftsman on the opposite side clapped his hands, applauded a few times and said to Kiel with a smile: "It's still relatively sharp. In fact, this means baron and knight. Little warrior Kiel, you were very heroic in the process of fighting against monsters before. , the grown-ups will always give you some rewards, right?"
As soon as he said that, Keir figured out that it was so, so it was. No wonder all the magical materials that were rarely seen before suddenly appeared in front of him. And yesterday the other party asked him to come back later, it seems that he went back to discuss and prepare.
Thinking of this, Kiel laughed, and he asked quietly with a smile on his face: "Since the baron and knight gave me rewards, are these things free? They are worth a lot of money."
The shepherd craftsman smiled strangely: "How can there be such a good thing? How can we have so many magic materials in Kendall City? These things cost money, and you have to pay for them. Didn't you just come here yesterday?" I have sold some metal ingots here. If you have money, please spend it, of course, you must do what you can.”
When Keir heard that he was asked to spend money to buy magic materials, his face immediately collapsed. What, if you reward me, I have to spend my own money to buy them. What kind of reward is this.
But after thinking about it for a while, he felt that he had rarely heard of such things being sold anywhere before. It is estimated that these things are rare, even if it is opened to Kiel to purchase permission, it is already considered a reward.
And the other party also knew that he had money in his pocket, so it was impossible for him to afford everything. Besides, at least among the magic materials, cheap red copper and black iron are definitely affordable. At least he can repair his long sword, and it can be strengthened one step after driving out the evil power. As for the other goodies, it's a matter of how much money Keel has in his pocket.
"Then you'd better introduce the final material first, I'll listen to it first and then think about it." Kiel said weakly.
"Young man, don't be unhappy, this is a good opportunity. These magic materials are good things, and I, a blacksmith with excellent skills, guarantee to make your long sword look brand new and become a famous sword. You carefully Think about it, isn't this the reward the adults gave you?"
Keir raised his eyebrows and looked at the various materials in front of him, and gradually became excited. That's right, if these things are added, his long sword will definitely become very different.
"Then please introduce the last one." Kiel rubbed his hands and said impatiently.
The last material is on the right, unlike the other materials that are half raw, the last material looks like a few metal sheets, but there are many small characters densely engraved on it.
Keel got permission, picked up a piece of metal, and found it to be extremely thin. I broke it off with a little force, and it was very strong. And when it was moved, the entire metal sheet was covered with a layer of white light protection.
Holding it in front of his eyes, Keel found that the small words engraved on this metal plate were all compliments. Because the characters are too small and dense, Kiel can only tell from the uppermost talisman that this thing was made by the Church of the Sun God.
"What is this? It looks like a hymn engraved on a metal sheet?" Keel asked suspiciously.
It's very funny, the craftsman on the opposite side picked up a piece of metal with his fingers in disgust and said: "This is a blessing item made by the Church of the Sun God. It can be directly embedded in weapons and armor. The weapon releases a strong light~www.mtlnovel.com~to blind the enemy." As soon as he finished speaking, he put the things down, as if he didn't want to touch the things of other churches.
Keir didn't care. He held the metal piece in his hand, looked it over and over again and asked, "It is said to be used, how to use it? How many times can it be used in total? Is there a number of times a day? It won't let me also be targeted. Are you blind?"
"Stop, stop, I'll answer you one by one. By the way, is that all your questions?" said the handicraftsman who was caught up in the question.
"That's probably all. You can answer my questions, right? Don't tell me you don't know either."
"How is it possible? The Church of the Sun God will make these fancy things." He whispered the last sentence. Immediately afterwards, he went on to say: "About how to use it. It can be inlaid with metal pieces or glued to the weapon with molten metal. After the weapon owner picks up the weapon, he will naturally know how to release it. In addition, about how much it can be used Second, as long as the text on the surface is not severely damaged, it can replenish energy by receiving more sunlight."
Hearing this, Keir's face became weird, and he muttered: "Solar energy, hey, it's still clean energy."
"What are you talking about?" The shepherd craftsman looked at Kiel suspiciously.
"It's nothing, you continue, I'm listening." Kiel said quickly, waving his hands.
"About blindness when using it, of course it won't let the user be attacked. You should only feel dazzling, but not hurt. As for blindness, in fact, it just makes the opponent unable to see things clearly for a short time, isn't it? It's very powerful." It seems that he doesn't like the Church of the Sun God very much, and the pastor's craftsman's mouth is full of disgust.
Keir smiled: "Then the last question, is it expensive?"
