Chapter 13 Weapon Completed!
Since his parents died one after another, Gordon has been living alone.
Although it is unrestrained, living alone in a room will always be a bit deserted. Now that there is an extra pork chop, it should become more lively.
After working with Pig Chop to clean up a small room as his dormitory, Gordon let Pig Chop rest for a while and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Having lived alone for many years, Gordon considers his cooking skills to be pretty good.
Not long after, two huge pieces of fried pork chops were brought to the table, accompanied by fresh lettuce leaf salad and sliced air-dried bread. It was a simple and substantial meal.
To Gordon's surprise, although the pork chop is called "pork chop", this is the first time he has tasted this food with the same name.
After loosening and marinating, the tender and juicy pork tenderloin is wrapped in bread crumbs, fried twice until golden brown, and then topped with a thick salty-sweet sauce. It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. You will love the pork chop once you eat it On.
After asking Gordon, he learned that the name of the pork chop has nothing to do with his favorite food, but because of the golden oval piece of fur on its belly, which resembles a fried pork chop.
This reminded Gordon of the name "steak".
After asking about it, it turned out that as expected, the belly of the steak also has an oval pattern, but the color is dark brown like roast beef, hence the name of the steak.
Gordon couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked Pork Chop for his mother's name.
Blindly guessing the chicken chop?
As a result, Pork Chop said that his mother's name was "Qiqiya", which made Gordon feel stuck in his throat and unable to spit it out or swallow, so he had to end the topic in a hurry.
The next day, it was slightly bright.
Gordon got up from the bed on time. After washing, he was going to wake up Pig Chop, but he didn't expect that Pork Chop got up earlier than him.
At this time, it was fully armed and stood in the small yard at the door of the house, waving a cat pick and practicing its martial arts.
This surprised Gordon, but he was also quite pleased. Pork Chop may be a little timid, but he works hard.
Courage can be tempered and cultivated, but hard work and perseverance determine its future upper limit.
Coming to Pork Chop, after saying hello, Gordon's eyes couldn't help but be attracted by the equipment on it.
Obviously, this is a set of armor specially designed for Elu's body shape. The main materials should be leather and some hard nut shells.
The big package that Pork Chop carried contained this set of things.
After asking, I learned that this set of equipment is called "Acorn Cat Armor". Its defensive capabilities are not outstanding, but it is lightweight and agile. It is a set commonly used by novice hunting cats.
This is similar to the hunter suit Gordon is using.
Pork Chop had worked so hard, so naturally he couldn't relax. Gordon took off his shirt, grabbed a huge stone pier, and began to exert his strength.
Looking at three or four stone pillars as heavy as himself, being lifted up and down by Gordon and tossed around, Piglet was dumbfounded.
Shaking his little head, he could not help but speed up the speed of waving the cat pick in his hand.
The instructor who happened to be passing by Gordon's house first said hello to Gordon, and then looked at Pork Chop with some surprise.
“This child is your hunting cat?”
“Yes, it’s called Pork Chop, and we just signed the contract yesterday.” Gordon put down the stone pier and introduced it with a smile.
“You boy, you are so lucky.”
“Hello, meow, I’m here, Zhupa, meow.” Facing the instructor, Zhupa seemed a little reserved, but he bowed politely and greeted him.
The instructor waved his hand cheerfully, "Don't be so polite. Gordon is always reckless. He will ask for your help more in the future."
Then he turned to Gordon and said: "By the way Gordon, I just met the owner of the blacksmith shop. He asked me to tell you that your blasting knife has been forged. Don't forget to pick it up later."
"Really?!" Gordon's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "I'll go there now!"
After saying that, he threw on a coat, climbed over the wall like a monkey, and ran towards the blacksmith shop.
"Meow meow?!"
Zhupa, who was still unresponsive, squealed and quickly chased after him.
Looking at the man and the cat running away, the instructor shook his head in a funny way, "It's still the same, it's so exciting, but if you don't even care about your new weapon, ha! Can you still be considered a hunter?"
“Clang, clang, clang!” He opened the curtain in front of the blacksmith shop and stepped inside. The hot air and the sound of metal collision drowned Gordon at the same time.
Wiping the sweat on his forehead caused by the sudden rise in temperature, Gordon grinned stupidly, showing that he couldn't restrain his excitement.
He was a little impatient.
After the hunter's knife was damaged, he felt that something was missing in his life, and now, the missing part was almost made up.
“Oh, Gordon is here. Everything is ready. I made it carefully myself!” The arrogant blacksmith shop owner said in a loud voice.
Pork Chop, who was following Gordon, couldn't help but shrink his neck.
The person who scared me yesterday was this person, meow!
As if to prove his bravery, Pork Chop raised his head and looked directly at the big face of the blacksmith shop owner, but when the blacksmith shop owner looked over, he couldn't help but shrink back behind Gordon.
“Oh, isn’t this the little kitten from yesterday? It turns out you are Gordon’s partner.” The blacksmith shop owner said loudly.
After saying that, without waiting for Pork Chop's reply, he strode to Gordon's side, stretched out his right hand that always wielded a heavy hammer, and patted Gordon's shoulder heavily.
Gordon felt as if he had been slapped by a big bear. If he had to change to a thinner one, he might have been slapped on the ground.
“Yes, the boy is strong enough to deserve the big sword I carefully crafted!”
The owner of the blacksmith shop nodded with satisfaction and said carelessly: "Come with me, it can't wait any longer."
After saying that, the owner of the blacksmith shop walked into the inner room first, and Gordon and Pork Chop quickly followed.
In the blacksmith shop, on a huge and thick solid wood long table, there is a huge blade with a ferocious shape and silver-gray color. Under the reflection of the fire, it quietly reflects the unique cold luster of steel.
This big sword named "Explosive Knife" subverted Gordon's understanding of the concept of "sword".
No wonder it’s called the Explosive Knife. It’s more like a broadsword than a sword.
The blade is wide and thick, almost like a shield. The back of the blade has a very large curvature without a sharp tip. The head of the blade curves downward to form a huge hook.
However, what surprised Gordon the most was not the hook-shaped tip, but the blade. This big sword actually had no edge? !
The craftsman uncle forgot to sharpen the explosive knife due to negligence? This is obviously impossible. No one would make such a stupid mistake that cannot even be called a low-level one.
Gordon soon noticed that the blade of the explosive knife was "hollow" - there seemed to be some mechanism hidden inside the blade.
"Have you seen some tricks?" The owner of the blacksmith shop crossed his arms and looked proud.
