“I have co”

“Ah, there was so like that Well, Come in If I can’t use you, I’ll kick you out”

“I’ll be in your care”

In contrast to old ht me with care

Since Donga knew I could useof fire to me

After entering the sot to learn about s

“It’s been one otten used to the environ some iron”

“Understood,” I answered while wiping the soot of my face with a towel

“Striking iron is for re the impurities from that iron and raise the purity

In addition, you strike iron to creating balance and to mix different types of metal

Well, anyway, there’s a lot to striking iron There’s nothing better for i iron”

“Understood”

As old a said to, I struck iron every day
