Chapter 418: (1/2)
Chapter 9 ~ Powerless
”Okay?” Randy was taken aback. As a former knight, he was neither severely disabled nor old. Irregular retirements are often full of criticism. Now that he sees his former benefactor still wearing a knight armor, he feels guilty. .
”It is good to stay away from officialdom and have a calm mind like water.”
”Benefactor, are you still working in the temple now?” The armor on Ji Bai's body seemed to evoke Randy's memories, and his expression was a little complicated.
”I have never mentioned that I am a priest. I have retired for a long time.
”Benefactor, you have retired for a long time? But, don't you still wear armor?” ”Are you a knight, is there a direct connection with wearing armor?” ”Ji Bai asked back.
”Uh, uh... Randy scratched his head. There is indeed no explicit stipulation that only knights can wear knight armor. At first, he thought that Ji Bai was a high-level member of the Temple Association. After this level of identity was overthrown, he looked more and more. I don't understand who Ji Bai is anymore.
”The benefactor came to the border town today, is there anything important to deal with? Uh, uh, don't get me wrong, I just ask casually, maybe I can help or something.” Randy asked.
”My sword is broken. I heard that the blacksmith shop in the south of the city is so skilled and admired that I came here.” Ji Bai opened the sac in his hand slightly. The blade fragments were exposed. ”I just heard that the owner of this blacksmith shop has a weird temper, and he is arrogant and disdain to serve the flat-headed people.
”Hey? Is this shop the benefactor is going to visit? I told you earlier that this shop was opened by my uncle. If the benefactor wants to make repairs, just tell me.”
”Is that so.” It's rare to see people giving pillows when you want to sleep. Just because I can't find a qualified blacksmith's shop, I am worried, so I send my ‘key’ to my hand?
”Okay, it won't interfere with the shopkeeper's work, right?”
”No, no, my uncle is ready to talk.” Randy waved his hand and took out a bunch of keys from his pocket. After a little identification, he inserted the key. Accompanied by the sound of the door shaft turning, the heavy anti-theft glass door was slowed down. Push away slowly.
”Then interrupt for a moment.
”The benefactor is polite, my uncle loves me, knowing that you are the benefactor who saved me, you must readily agree. I can't guarantee anything else. My uncle's forging technology is in the border town, and even the entire human federation is one of the best. My uncle is the first choice for the family children of the Temple Association to find a swordsmith.” Despite Randy's bluffing, Ji Bai didn't say anything.
After opening the door, he followed Randy into the shop without hesitation.
He could still trust the character of this young knight, and he had a certain affection for him, otherwise he would not have come forward and risked their vanguard knights from the execution ground. Or Gongxiao l) C is sultry and hot, although it is the season of high and refreshing autumn, the four walls completely block the autumn wind and prevent autumn from penetrating the slightest.
Because of the long-term high temperature, the walls were full of wrinkles and uneven mud, and the white color was dyed gray-black under the smoky fire.
Hanging all kinds of weapons for sale and display is something that almost every smithy will do. This smithy is destined to be a stream. There is nothing hanging on the bare walls, and the only ornaments are clatter. The clock keeps ringing.
The room is not small, but the layout is slightly empty. Except for the necessary daily necessities, only two wooden beds and a pair of tables and chairs are left unused. Under the stairs, it probably leads to the basement. The room is used as a living area without ironware. Or blacksmith tools such as iron stoves should be in the basement.
The sound of forging reverberated throughout the room, coming from the basement.
Under Randy’s guidance, the sound of forging and percussion went from far to near, and the outline of the stone steps was smoothed. Time left a lot of marks here. In the huge basement, there was a shirtless man sitting by the stove. Press the red-burning iron tool and whip the hammer.
”Xiao Di, did you buy the materials? Where should I put them? By the way, throw the utensils on the iron table into the cooling pool to cool.” The rough voice commanded without turning his head.
Uncle, a visitor is here. Randy whispered in the ear of the big man.
”Which guest? Tell them that I have been in retreat recently and are not taking orders. Even the Patriarch of the Great Temple Family can't force me to work, right? Don't let them in.” The man said angrily.
”Uncle, it's not those high-ranking officials, and I have brought in the guests.
”What?” The big man glanced behind him, the hideous scar was like a long curly reptile, squirming along with the facial muscles. Recently, I am not taking orders. ”Just a glance at the big man, he withdrew his gaze, and continued to focus on forging the iron that was about to be formed.
Randy felt like he couldn't hold back his face. ”Uncle, he is...
”It's a knight, isn't it?” The big man received before Randy could speak. ”What's the matter with the knight? There is something so rare about a priesthood that can be easily performed by memorizing a dictionary rule. Haven't you guys been a while.”
”The city is wearing a pair of armor, for fear that no one knows that you are a knight... Don't stand there as an aisle, go quickly, I'm still polite to you now, if I don't leave, I will drive people!” The big man made a loud voice, his voice even surpassed the noisy iron strike.
