The Witcher: Lord of the Elements

The casting steps are just a few steps, and Duo Lai completed it meticulously. Soon, he opened the mold and took out an iron plate.

Holding the pliers in his left hand, he took out the hot iron plate that was burning red and put it on the iron felt. After fixing it, Dole turned around, took out the No. [-] hammer from the tool table next to him, and held it in his hand. Weighed it, and began to beat the iron plate.

At the beginning, he could only hold the smallest No. [-] hammer, weighing only [-] kilograms. Now he can hold the No. [-] hammer, which weighs [-] kilograms, and his strength has greatly increased.

I used the No. [-] hammer all the time yesterday, so I used it directly today.

I don't know what's going on recently, as long as I wake up from a sleep, my whole body is full of strength, I feel motivated, and the No. [-] hammer is already handy.

boom.

A hammer hit it, and a piece of the iron plate was dented. Dole lowered his head, looked at the depth, and continued to forge.

There are no fixed movements in the basic hammering method, and there are only a few types of back and forth, which are adapted to different scenarios. Duo Lai has already practiced it in the past few days, and only the familiarity with the materials in hand remains.

Clinking, the iron plate was cold and hot again, and Duo Lai quickly smashed the iron plate flat, ready to fold it for the second forging.

Ordinary farm tools are generally two forged, three forged, depending on the material itself, this is waste, and three forged is enough.

Virek was watching from the side, and there was no guidance. When he saw that Dole was preparing for the second forging, he smiled and said, "It's not bad, it's getting started so quickly. There's nothing special about ordinary farm tools. As long as the materials are Beat it evenly and make it into a shape, whether it is two forging or three forging, it depends on yourself, if it is scrap, it is best to have more than three forging."

He raised his head, took Dolai's tongs, took out the iron plate to have a look, pointed to a few places, then put it down, and said, "These places have flaws, uneven thickness, with small force, multi-layered knocking, from Start around."

Dolle nodded and did not speak. He has learned a lot in the past two days and knows what he means.

From the second forging, the hardness of the material began to increase. This time is the time to test the strength. Duo Lai has two years of experience in the mining field, so he has strength. In addition, he has been training as a warrior, so there is no shortage of strength.

Virek watched Dole forge while instructing, and soon, a hoe embryo was freshly baked.

After quenching, the hoe took shape. Although there were some small flaws, it was enough for Dole.

This hoe was also the first time that Dolei had completed a farm tool. He carefully recalled the process just now, and had a clearer understanding of forging.

When he was about to play the second round, Director Harley walked in from the outside, walking vigorously. Behind him, there were five soldiers in military uniforms, each holding a lot of iron in their hands.

Director Harley said a few words to the soldiers, and they each took the things in their hands and walked towards several second-level blacksmiths, including Virek.

Virek seemed to be used to it, and when he saw that person coming forward, he greeted him respectfully, took the weapons in their hands, bowed his head and said, "Verek is at your service."

The soldier nodded, and said politely, "As soon as possible."

Virek nodded.

He lowered his head and saw that the weapons in his hands were all swords, two broadswords, two war swords, and a stabbing sword.

These swords have many gaps, scratches, and signs of breakage, which are obviously unusable.

He smoked it carefully, turned around and said to Dolly, "Go to the back and apply for some fine steel, about ten kilograms."

Dole nodded and went to the back to prepare materials.

Restoring a weapon is different from reforging a weapon. Dole has already experienced it. As soon as Virek said it, he understood what was going on.

In addition to Virek, Santis and Morley also received the task at this time, and for a while, the entire blacksmith shop was clanging.

Dole is Verek's apprentice, and he is only responsible for this side. He follows Verek, helping and studying at the same time. His expression is meticulous and serious, because he knows that this is his job, at least temporarily, as long as If you become a first-class blacksmith, you will be able to survive independently without having to look at other people's faces. This is the foundation of survival.

No matter what he can do in the future, at least his task now is to concentrate on studying.

Virek held the No. [-] iron hammer, which weighed a full ten kilograms. It was a whole size bigger than the one in Dole's hand. When the hammer hit it, sparks shot out, but in Virek's hand, twenty kilograms The hammer is as light as a feather in your hand.

Jingle, jingle, huh.

A morning passed quickly, and Virek only repaired a rapier. After eating, he continued to repair.

Dole was studying on the sidelines. Occasionally, when Virek used him, let him use a small hammer to assist in the forging. Sometimes he hit hard, sometimes lightly, and sometimes let him tap lightly like raindrops, These changes taught Dole a lot.

Just after one day, he felt that he had grown a lot.

I don't know what's going on recently, he feels that his ears and eyes are sharp, and his strength has no limit, as if as long as he can eat enough, he will have endless strength.

Forging weapons is also a process of knowing weapons. It took two full days to repair the five swords, and holding the last repaired broadsword in his hand, Dole thought of the basic swordsmanship, held it in his hand, and Waving in the blacksmith shop.

The broadsword was very heavy, and Dole could not hold it stably. He just played with it casually, as if he was drunk when he held it in his hand, which made Virek laugh out loud.

Chapter 18 Endless

Virek looked at Dole and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Repairing these swords was not easy. Sitting on the stool next to him, he felt a little relieved in his heart. In the future, if you walk in this line of work, you will definitely be more promising than yourself.

At noon, Director Harley came out with heavy steps. He first went to the other two blacksmith shops, and finally came to Verek's place. He gathered the swords together and directed several other apprentices to put them at the door.

After finishing all this, Harley heaved a sigh of relief, showed the aura of a big butler, stood beside Virek, looked at Dole, and smiled slightly, "Are you interested in becoming our contracted blacksmith?"

Dolle scratched his head, "I haven't become a first-class blacksmith yet, I'm just an apprentice now, isn't Master Harley a bit early?"

Harley still smiled and said, "As long as you are willing to endure hardship and work hard, you will be a first-class blacksmith sooner or later. I saw your hoe, it is very good."

Virek stood up from the stool, gave Dole a thumbs up, and said, "Dole is the most gifted kid I've ever seen, and he can make farm tools in just a few days, and the future will definitely be good. "

Dole stood aside shyly.

Harley nodded and said, "The advancement of a blacksmith and a warrior is the same. The process of forging iron, forging iron tools, is also forging oneself. Exercise hard, and strive to pass the junior warrior as soon as possible. It will be easier to forge iron that way."

Harley could see that Dole had practiced martial arts skills, so he said something casually.

Duo Lai responded with a smile, while feeling terrified, he just played with his sword casually, and they actually saw it.

Martial arts training is not so easy, at least he is just beginning now, relying on the advantage of blacksmithing, to exercise the muscles of the whole body, and step by step to become a junior fighter, but there is still a long way to go.

Virek patted his shoulder and said, "The big and small hammer method is also a kind of martial art. It can exercise muscles and bones. The fire of the stove can also exercise your skin very well. Exercise well."

Dole nodded, he could feel it naturally.

Virek has the strength of a high-level fighter. Dole has heard from him a long time ago that he is only short of a book on fighting qi, and he can find a way to continue to improve. However, books on fighting qi are too expensive. It costs 20 gold coins.

That's 20 gold coins.

Harley encouraged Dolle a few words, and stood outside. Soon, a military carriage came, followed by a group of soldiers. Some of the soldiers came over, negotiated with Director Harley, took the weapons away, and paid for them. He took the gold coins and quickly disappeared at the end of the road.

When Dole saw this, he became more motivated. If he had the ability to forge swords, he would be able to start the training of wizards. Naruye's records about wizards required a lot of medicinal materials and assistance. Materials, my current financial ability, none of those things can afford, only advanced basic physical training.

Nothing happened in the afternoon, and Duo Lai started to practice his hands with scrap materials again, and made some small utensils. They have already looked good, but they are not skilled enough, and the selling price is relatively low.

Some people also buy these lower-priced things. After all, there are poor people outside the city who cannot afford high-quality goods and can only buy these mediocre ones, so Dole is not afraid that no one will buy his own things.

20 days passed quickly and slowly.

These days, Duolai has forged a lot of farm tools, and the quality is getting better and better. He also has the income of copper coins in his hand, and his life is basically guaranteed.

With the daily building, Duo Lai's skin was already dark, but now it is even darker, but under the skin, the muscles are bulging, and they have a certain scale, although it is only a few days.

After get off work, he greeted Virek and several other familiar blacksmiths. Dole picked up the clothes lying beside him and walked to the slums. He was in a happier mood because he was paid today, and there were 20 copper coins.

He has to go home and read quickly. Although he already has a dictionary, the characters in it are a big problem. He can only learn dozens of new characters a day. It may take a while for him to read normally.Thinking of the things recorded in Naruye's Legendary Demon Warrior Road, Duo Lai felt a little excited. Whether he became a warrior or a wizard, as long as he entered the level, he would have a bright future in the future. Ordinary first-level fighters, Just find a job, and you will be paid with silver coins every month. As long as you can become a warrior, you don’t need to talk about anything. There are not many wizards in the entire Dormont City. They are all legendary characters. At the beginning, they didn't have much combat power, but with their own wisdom, various alchemy and medicine, they were somewhat more powerful than fighters.

Thinking of the future, Dole, who was walking on the road, almost cried out, very excited.

Soon, he came to the entrance of the slum. When he looked up, he saw a few people standing there, as if they were looking at him. After seeing who they were, his face froze immediately, and the heat in his heart was poured out. A layer of ice water, cold through the body.

Damn it, it's Odo.

I haven't seen this guy for many days, why did I meet him again?

Odo also saw Dole at this time, and when he saw him, he remembered his miserable situation that day, and immediately twisted his face, "Catch him, damned pariah, if you dare to resist, I will break his leg."

When the people on both sides heard this, they were puzzled for a moment, but soon someone remembered, isn't this the kid who often robs money in the Bianchi mine?

"See where you are going, dare to hit us, Brother Odo." Someone rushed forward immediately.

The rest of the people also remembered who Dole was, picked up the guy one after another, and rushed towards Dole.

Dore was shocked at this moment, and damned Odo, there is no end to it.

He was surprised that the clothes in his hands were on his body, and he turned around and ran away.Instead of going to the place where he lived these days, he turned and ran to other parts of the slum.

The roads in the slums are intricate, and there are garbage dumps everywhere, which is very suitable for running.

Seeing this, Odo looked at Dole's clothes, and suddenly became exasperated, "Follow me, he must have made money, otherwise he wouldn't be able to wear such nice clothes."

When the others heard this, they immediately became motivated.

Robbing a poor person is no psychological burden for them at all. Even the police station and the sheriff are unwilling to come here. More poor people die every day than are murdered in the city in a year. Killing a poor person is nothing at all. People care.

And the other party has money, that's what they fancy, and it's not just once or twice that they do this kind of thing, they have long been used to it.

After such a long period of training, Dole's strength and agility have long been different from what they used to be. After running with all his strength, he quickly rushed into the slums and into a small alley.

The alleys are full of water and mud. Walking all the way, the feet are full of mud.

While complaining and running, Dolai didn't stop at all. After walking out of the alley, he ran to another alley. He knew that there was mud and water on his feet, and he would definitely not be able to escape the opponent's pursuit. Find a dry road.

But no matter how fast he is, Odo is still chasing after him. Odo's physical fitness is not bad, plus the instructors his father paid for and the usual training, he is actually better than Dole.

Doré glanced back, and Otto kept chasing after him, so he could only run desperately.

He quickly ran out of the alley and entered a main avenue of the slum. When he looked up, he saw that there were people here, so he ran to places with a lot of people.

Chapter 19

Odo caught up with him, only took a look at the entrance of the alley, and then saw Dole, who was running fast among the crowd, with his back bent, looming in the crowd, almost invisible, and immediately waved his hand angrily, "Catch up and kill this little bastard for me."

This was not the first time that Dole had escaped in his own hands, and Odo wished he could kill him immediately.

Only three of them caught up, and immediately went to the crowd, all the way past, flying around.

Dore was short in stature and darting about in the crowd. At first Odo could see his whole body, but in the end only a few shadows could be seen.

He was anxious and was about to be run away by this kid again, so he racked his brains to think, and soon he thought of the road ahead, and he had an idea, and said, "You two go there, he has to turn from anywhere past."

Although the topography of the slums is complicated, they have been domineering here for several years, and they have long memorized it by heart.

The two nodded and ran out separately.

Otto didn't stop and chased after him closely. When the people around saw him approaching, their faces changed and they hurriedly avoided.

Duo Lai ran back and forth among the crowd for a long time, and he could not see the figure behind him for a long time. After passing the main road, he quickly got into a small alley, stopped to breathe heavily, and secretly looked around at the entrance of the alley a few times. When no one came, I was relieved.

This Otto is really a dog, after such a long time, he still doesn't let himself go, when he finds the opportunity, he must give him a ruthless one, so that he can have a long memory.

Dole took a few breaths, then the cat bent forward and ran forward.

When he was about to run to the entrance of the alley, he heard the sound of small footsteps coming from the front, and his face suddenly changed.

Are you catching up?

He subconsciously touched the small hammer on his waist, and then his face became a little hard.

When he came to the entrance of the alley, he looked ahead secretly, and sure enough, he saw two people beside Otto running from a distance, checking the small alleys on both sides of the road while running.

Doré looked away and felt relieved, there were only two of them, without Otto, it was okay.These people are just Odo's subordinates, and they are also children of common people, similar to him, and he has become stronger now, so there is no need to be afraid of them.

Thinking of this, he took out the hammer, took a deep breath, leaned against the wall, slowly lowered his body, squatted on the ground, and quietly waited for them to come.

"Not in this alley."

"No."

"Neither here."

The two of them looked for it all the way, and they had already begun to be careless. The boy had been running for so long, who knows where he went, and now he was just to fulfill Odo's orders.

If it wasn't for Odo these past few years, they wouldn't have such a happy life. They also came out to dawdle, and their parents would have stopped caring about them long ago.

Soon, they came to the alley next to Dole.

At this time, Dolei had calmed down, took a deep breath, and listened to the footsteps quietly.

The two people came slowly, their footsteps approached little by little, and their voices gradually became clearer.

They came to the mouth of Dole's alley.

Duo Lai catted his body, suddenly jumped out from below, and hit one of them directly with a hammer on his knee.After smashing the iron ingot for so long, he has long been proficient in the strength and angle of the hammer, and even for the sake of accuracy, he even withdrew a little strength.

The two didn't react at all, they only saw a black shadow rushing out of the box.

Click.

Ah ah ah ah.

One fell down holding his knees directly, while the other was still in a daze, but he was in a daze, and Dole was not in a daze. One of them was abolished, and he directly swung the hammer and hit the other person's chest from below.

The man only saw Dole's figure at this time, and the eyes of the two met. The man was a little flustered, and Dole's face was expressionless, even a little cold.

The man hurriedly put his hands on his chest, and Dolei's hammer hit it with a bang. The man looked pained and fell backwards.
