Fang Jin and Chi Xiaoqing seemed to have thought of something as they drew on the paper without any hesitation. In the time it took to have a cup of tea, the two of them stopped writing and passed the papers in their hands to the middle-aged man and the old man.
”Little girls, the sword that you seek for is quite unique. The sword that this old man has forged in the past is a large sword that is around a foot wide, this is the first time I have encountered such a tiny sword. Does this girl have any other requests? ”
Old Tie carefully sized up the two blueprints. The more he looked, the more curious he got.
”Little girls, are you sure you want to forge two of these swords? ”Based on my many years of experience, even if it was forged, it can only be used as a decoration. Are you sure?”
”Mm, thank you Uncle.” If my sword is lightning-attributed, that would be for the best. ” Fang Jin confirmed.
”That's right, Uncle. My sword needs the wind attribute.” Chi Xiaoqing said.
Seeing that Fang Jin and Chi Xiaoqing had the same thoughts, Old Man Tie could do nothing about it, and did not try to persuade them anymore.
”Alright, since this is your wish, this old man will do as you say.” I have the materials for forging your two swords, but not enough. I also need a flint.
Go to the Flame Sun Mountain on the east side of the village and bring me some. But I have to remind you. There's a Red Flame Cat on top of Sunfire Mountain. Its speed is extremely fast.
”Flame Sun Mountain? Is it the volcano at the top of the red mountain there? ” No one raised their head and looked to the east, pointing at the volcano not far away.
”That's right, that's Flame Sun Mountain.” Old Titan looked up and nodded. ”If you have nothing to do, then go quickly.” Old Iron also waved his hand, indicating that he wanted them to leave immediately.
”Alright, then I'll leave our things with you.” With a wave of his right hand, the item Du Duwu prepared flew into the center of the courtyard.
Seeing that Old Man Tie didn't even raise his head to look at the blueprint in his hand, neither did he agree nor disagree, he shook his head and led the rest of the group away.
Another half a day had passed, and by the time no one had reached the foot of Flame Sun Mountain, it was already near dusk. At the foot of the mountain, a shabby thatched hut appeared before the few people present. Looking at the smoke rising from the stove, it was clear that there was someone else living here, not some abandoned house.
”Big Brother, the sky is about to turn dark. Should we go and disturb them?” Chi Xiaoqing softly asked as he arrived in front of Wu Se.
”Yes, Big Brother. I think that the old man must have done it on purpose. He didn't even tell us that he caused us to travel for half a day just because of the distance between Flame Sun Mountain and the blacksmith village. Should we go ahead and rest? ” Guizi chimed in from the side.
”Alright, since the both of you are singing and drinking, let's go and disturb them today. I hope they don't mind. ”
None of them smiled at Chi Xiaoqing and Gui Zi, causing the former's face to turn red as a trace of resentment flashed across his face. The latter, on the other hand, embarrassedly touched the back of his head as she giggled foolishly.
”Is anyone home?” Fang Jiang walked up and lightly knocked on the door. Although they knew that there was someone in the room, they still had to greet him. Otherwise, it would be too abrupt.
”Who is it?” An old and powerless voice came from within the room. The voice even carried a trace of gentleness, making those who heard it feel that this was a benevolent old man.
Sure enough, following behind them was a somewhat bowed old lady with a head full of white hair. She had a benevolent expression on her face as she opened the door and entered their line of sight.
