Lord of Arcane

Chapter 54 Reminder of the Adamantine Dagger
Seeing the dwarf again, and hearing that he still cares about his own safety, even though Xia Duo understood that this was probably just because the other party felt bored because of the lack of entertainment, he couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.

Traveling through another world alone, Xia Duo is always vigilant about everything around him, and his nerves are tense, but he is still a normal human being after all, and he needs others to care, even if it is just polite, even hypocritical.

It makes him feel like he's still alive in this world.

"Uncle Blotto, I have joined the Mage Tower now, how can Old Neil dare to do anything to me!" Xado said casually.

"Humph!" Blotto threw down the hammer heavily, picked up the wine bottle again and sighed, "Don't be careless, I grew up with old Neil!"

Xia Duo's heart froze, and the smile on his face gradually faded, "Thank you, Uncle Blotto."

"Well—it's good to know!" The dwarf chatted with Xia Duo while banging on the iron block, "Is this about to go on an expedition?"

"Yeah, maybe I'll be leaving in the next few days, I'm here this time—"

Before Xia Duo said anything, the dwarf threw down the hammer with a bang, "I see, bring it!"

Shado was not annoyed by being seen through his mind, and quickly took off the iron dagger from his belt. The "last dignity" he personally polished from the discarded dagger looked bright, but in the eyes of the dwarf Blotto. It's just a piece of iron.

Blotto took the dagger, looked at it a little, and threw it into the fire, "It's a lot of effort to polish it, but the craftsmanship is too poor."

"I can't compare to you, you are the most powerful master blacksmith in the territory!" Xia Duo quickly sent compliments.

And these words were obviously very useful to Broto, he squinted his small eyes staring at the fire, and kept twisting his beard braided into small braids, "Don't say this outside, Sambo The master is the most powerful master in the territory! But, in a few years—”

It seemed that he thought it was inappropriate to say this, but Blotto quickly stopped and changed the subject, "Do you have any requirements for a dagger?"

Xia Duo also pretended not to hear what he said before, and said directly: "The sharper the better, the stronger the better."

Sharpness means that he can achieve maximum effect with minimum force, while sturdiness largely determines the life of the dagger, which will not be damaged by accident.

Hearing Xia Duo's words, Blotto snorted and picked out a metal particle the size of a soybean grain from a pile of scrap iron on the ground. At the same time, he took out a gray wooden bottle from the toolbox next to him and poured out some The powder threw it into the fire along with the metal particle just picked up.

Mixed with Xia Duo's dagger solution, and then added a small piece of iron ingot, and then said:
"I've kept this grain of gold for four or five years, and it's cheaper for you today!"

"Precious gold?!" Xia was overjoyed and quickly thanked.

He knew very little about the rare metal of adamantine, except that any weapon that added adamantine would increase its hardness by a certain amount, depending on how much it was added.

It was the first time that Shado had seen pure gold with his own eyes, but he was thrown into the furnace by Blotto before he could see it clearly.

When he thought that he was about to have an adamantine weapon, Shado couldn't mention how happy he was, even though he hoped that this dagger would never be used one day.

Soon, a fiery red light flashed in the fire, and Broto waited for a few seconds before pouring the molten metal into a long mold.

After a little cooling, it's time to hit the dagger.

Although it was not the first time I saw Blotto build a weapon, I couldn't help but be shocked by his skills. Where have modern people seen such skills.

With just a series of regular or irregular beatings, a simple dagger appeared out of nothing.

Nourishes—

A thin puff of smoke rose from the sink, and the dwarf Blotto threw away the hammer, took the wine bottle and gulped it twice. When he realized that it was gone, he threw the wine bottle away and glanced at Xia Duo's waist. .

Xia Duo still dared to hesitate, quickly tore off the water bag on his waist, and handed it to Broto. It was actually drinking water prepared by Xia Duo for the expedition, but he was worried that ordinary water would go bad in the bag, so he bought some Bad ale.

Unexpectedly, this was also smelled by Blotto.

At this time, Xia Duo also thought that he forgot to bring a gift when he came, which is inappropriate, "Uncle Broto, next time you come, I will bring you a bottle of elf wine in the mage tower."

"Uh-uh-" Blotto shook his head quickly, "I'm not used to drinking those fruit wines with long ears, it's not as good as this ale!"

After a burp of wine, Blotto finally put down Chateau's water bag, took out the adamantine dagger from the sink, and began to sharpen it.

Shado sighed in his heart that although the dwarf was addicted to alcohol, he would never forget his business. This time, Blotto not only helped him "hammer a few times", but also pasted a grain of fine gold, and even polished it himself.

This kind of friendship is not small, is it just because he praised him that time?
Xia Duo couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it, and just silently kept this favor in his heart.

Soon, a dagger that perfectly fit Shado's palm was handed over to him. This new dagger was entirely made of metal, with a blade no longer than a slap, two fingers wide, and double-sided blood grooves.

Although the appearance is simple, the faint blue light from the blade shows that this is a fine weapon containing fine gold.

Xia Duo was about to wrap it up with the original strip of cloth when, with a click, a leather dagger scabbard was thrown at Xia Duo's feet, "Use this! Are you looking down on my craftsmanship by wrapping it in that cloth strip?"

A drop of cold sweat slid down Shado's forehead. Although he hadn't tried it yet, the name of the dwarf Blotto alone was enough to describe the quality of this dagger.

This is not the iron piece before, but the work of the master, and Xia Duo is also preparing to be poisoned. If he hurts himself in this way, it is simply tragic.

Since he already owed one favor, he didn't care about owed another, Xia Duo picked up the leather sheath and wiped the dust on it. He couldn't recognize what kind of creature's skin it was, but it was not ordinary to be able to carry this fine gold dagger. 's hide.

"Thank you, Uncle Blotto!"

"Okay, if you want to thank me, find me some good wine!"

After saying that, Blotto started to beat the iron ingot from before, "If you have something to do, leave as soon as possible, don't delay with me."

Shado thought that something might happen to the camp, so he left, thanking Blotto again before leaving.

……

Back at the team camp, Captain Gib was leading the team to practice. Of course, except for Aiwa, Aiwa couldn't find anyone at this moment.

Xia Duo was somewhat unhappy with such a non-gregarious player, but he didn't have time to be unhappy at the moment. He still had to hurry up and learn the [Secret Mark] and the accompanying [Communication] skills.
