Chapter 58 O. Henry's Request
Seeing the young dwarf walking towards the blacksmith shop, Wayne couldn't help but secretly praise his good luck.
Unexpectedly, just by looking for a simple and honest-looking dwarf, I found a connection, the kind who is willing to do things, which is really rare.
He did not stand there stupidly waiting for the result, but walked to the other two dwarves who were still busy with interest and carefully observed their blacksmithing process.
In fact, learning blacksmithing technology had been included in his plan a long time ago, except that the cost of repairing equipment was too high and it was difficult to find a good blacksmith.
The most important reason is that Wayne believes that with the power of the system, regardless of talent or not, as long as he learns blacksmithing techniques, one day he will be able to become the most powerful blacksmith in the world and create products far beyond the Advanced equipment for other craftsmen.
Of course, this process may take a long time and cost him countless efforts, but the long lifespan of a demon hunter makes all his expectations possible.
About ten minutes later, Wayne saw the young dwarf who ran into the blacksmith shop, with a clear slap mark on his face, and walked out with a nonchalant smile.
He came to Wayne, laughed, and said,
"Witcher, you are so lucky. My uncle asked me to take you to see him." "
By the way, my name is Andrew. Don't forget to invite me when you come out. I'm going to drink. I'm going to the Kingfisher Tavern. I heard that the spirits there are very authentic."
Wayne nodded with a smile and said,
"Of course, Andrew, my name is Wayne, and I will never forget this promise."
A little money , he doesn't care, if this Andrew is a person worth dating, he will often invite this honest dwarf to drink in the future.
Perhaps it would be up to him to learn blacksmithing techniques.
The blacksmith shop is quite large. In addition to the furnace and anvil at the entrance of the shop, there is also a huge warehouse in the yard, a shed for storing coal, and a living area for the dwarf blacksmiths.
Following Andrew, they passed through two courtyards in succession before they arrived at the place where Master O. Henry lived.
As soon as he entered the yard, Wayne heard a thick voice shouting:
"Andrew, go to work quickly. You already owe me two months' wages for playing cards. If you continue to be lazy, I will even give you wine." It's forbidden."
Wayne followed the sound and saw a bald dwarf who was less than 1.5 meters tall but whose muscles were as if they were made of steel. He was sitting on the stone pier in front of the house. There were some obvious wrinkles on his face. , his snow-white beard on his chin was tied into three braids, smoking a pipe in his mouth, and looking up and down at Wayne impatiently.
Hearing this curse, Andrew, who was also quite strong, was like a little rabbit meeting the big bad wolf. He winked at Wayne and reminded him not to forget to treat him, and ran out in a hurry.
The master blacksmith O. Henry glanced at his nephew's back, snorted, and then asked Wayne bluntly:
"This is the first time I have seen a half-elf witcher."
"What school of witcher are you? "
Wayne pondered for a second and said truthfully:
"I am from the Wolf School, Master O. Henry."
The master dwarf blacksmith bit his pipe, blew out a puff of smoke, recalled it for two seconds, and then said with some regret:
"I haven't heard of it. But thirty years ago, I met a demon hunter from the Griffin School, and he commissioned me to build a master-level armor." "
Just waiting for him to gather the materials, it took half a year." "
Then. A set of master-level armor not only requires high craftsman skills, but also requires the temperature of the furnace." "
For this reason, I had to spend a lot of money to upgrade the furnace to meet the requirements of that set of armor." "
Finally completed that When I was wearing this piece of armor, I couldn't help but burst into tears. It was the most satisfying piece of work in my youth."
At this point, O. Henry looked at Wayne and asked:
"So, Demon Hunter, what piece of equipment do you want to build? Are the blueprints ready?"
Wayne nodded, then took out the blueprint copied by Geralt from his arms and handed it to the strong dwarf blacksmith. Holding his hand, he said:
"Here is the drawing, Master O. Henry. If you need it, my companion also has a finished product for you to appreciate." The
master dwarf blacksmith took the drawing, snorted disdainfully, and then looked at it for a long time. After about a minute, he said:
"To tell you the truth, that human businessman has no face with me, and I have no friendship with you." "
However, considering that you are a half-elf and a demon hunter, I I can give you two options." "The first option is to prepare the materials and the fee of five hundred orens, and I can help you complete this master-level silver sword." "However, as required in this drawing, the
meteorite Iron, anti-magic metal and moon dust are all quite rare materials that are not available in ordinary blacksmith shops. You can try your luck in the market to see if you can buy them." "As for the second option, as long
as You get me something. I can help you prepare these materials, and you don't even need to pay for it." "
Of course, this thing is quite rare. I have tried many contacts, but there is no way to buy it."
"East of the East, wine from Toussaint, East of the East."
"As long as you get me a bottle of this wine, I will help you for free."
After hearing these two choices, Wayne couldn't help but He frowned a little. He didn't know much about the sword-making materials or Toussaint's Dongzhidong, and he didn't dare to say which choice was easier.
So, he considered his words and said in a compromise way:
"Master, no matter I choose the first option or the second option, you need to complete this work." "
Why don't you start forging now? And I went to collect those materials and East of East.”
"No matter which one I complete, you will not suffer any loss when you pay and deliver the goods."
Master O. Henry thought for a while and felt that this was indeed the case. He snorted and said:
"Okay, smart man Little brat."
The dwarf licked his lips and added:
"I actually prefer you to choose the second option. When I get Dong Zhidong, I can buy you a drink."
Wayne nodded with a smile. He was actually leaning towards the second option. Being able to establish a good relationship with a master dwarf blacksmith would be a good thing for him, and even for the entire Wolf School of Witchers.
Master O. Henry was a very straightforward person. After negotiating the terms with Wayne, he kicked him out of the blacksmith shop without any unnecessary greetings.
In order to fulfill the blacksmith's request, Wayne did not want to stay any longer. After leaving the blacksmith's shop, he immediately went to find the person with the most extensive connections he knew so far, the wealthy businessman Revarden.
As a businessman from the south, he naturally has more channels than northern businessmen to obtain Toussaint's fine wine from the east to the east.
Wayne's luck is pretty good. Rewarden's house hasn't been built yet, so he happened to be resting in the tavern today.
After knowing that Wayne was visiting him, the fat businessman still received him warmly.
But this time, Wayne took the initiative to pay the bill in advance and ordered an expensive bottle of red wine, which Revaden did not refuse.
After the food and wine were served, the two of them drank and chatted. Before Wayne could bring up the topic of East of the East, Revarden took the initiative and asked, "Has
Master O. Henry agreed to your request, Wayne?
" Enya did not beat around the bush and recounted what happened in the morning. At the same time, he asked sincerely:
"Mr. Rewarden, do you have a channel to buy East of the East? Or do you have a channel to buy meteorite, moon dust and anti-magic metal?" Is that okay?"
Upon hearing this, Rewarden thought about it for a few seconds, then shook his head with regret and said:
"Sorry, Wayne, all I do is buy and sell large quantities of raw materials, such as those rare forging materials, which are not within my network." He pondered for a few seconds and said, "However,
if
you want to buy a If it's the east of the bottle, I can help." "
But I estimate that it will take at least two months from the time I send out this news and then specially transport it from Toussaint." "
And the cost should be higher than what is available on the market. The price is 10% or 20% more expensive. If you can accept it, I can help."
