Chapter 77: Consequences of Strengthening Without Protective Scrolls
In fact, just as you can clearly feel how strong the enemy is when fighting, you can also tell from every detail when visiting a blacksmith shop whether the store sells good weapons or just fancy decorations that are meant to cheat people out of their money.
There weren't many blacksmith shops in Fairhaven, and Mo Cheng walked along the way and saw a blacksmith shop called "Flame and Ale". The owner of the shop was a dwarf, and when Mo Cheng saw the dwarf swinging a sledgehammer that was half his height, he had already set his sights here.
Dwarves usually have a big beard that covers half of their face. It is said that there are no women among the dwarves. It is not known whether it is because women also have big beards that they are considered men.
To some extent, dwarves are natural forgers. They can naturally tell how to match ores to achieve the best effect. They are far superior to humans in matching ores. And with this talent, as well as the natural affinity of [Earth], [Thunder], and [Fire], dwarves can beat 90% of humans in forging.
There aren't many dwarves, and they're not as fertile as humans, but no one dares to underestimate the power of the dwarves. In the mountains of Dragon's Breath Mountains, there is a dwarf kingdom, governed by the dwarf king and the four hammer clans of gold, silver, bronze, and iron.
The dwarven kingdom is not xenophobic and even holds a grand forging ceremony every three years, welcoming forgers from all over the world to discuss and research together.
In addition to the coveted forging technology, the Dwarf Kingdom also has armed forces that can deter others from spying. The Heavy Dwarf Legion is an infantry legion that can defeat heavy cavalry head-on in the plains.
No one dared to say that he could lead the cavalry to charge at the dwarf army and return with the army intact after a charge.
Most of them never come back after they have been washed once.
Although there was a blazing fire and the heat was overwhelming in the store, the rest of the place was surprisingly clean and simple, without the black and gray floor that one would have imagined.
"What to do?"
Seeing Mo Cheng coming in, the dwarf didn't greet him, but continued to add firewood into the stove and asked without turning his head.
"Two daggers, the main material is Steel Wolf King's Teeth. If possible, I hope to customize the attributes [Armor Break] and [Bleeding]."
Placing the Steel Wolf King's teeth on the table, the dwarf looked back and picked up one and tapped it twice. "It's past its active period, but it's well preserved. The Wolf King has good nutrition, and there are no broken teeth or cavities."
After testing the materials provided by Mo Cheng, the dwarf nodded, "【Armor Breaking】 is no problem, 【Bleeding】 depends on the situation, I can't guarantee it. Come back in three days and I'll pay based on the quality of the final product. Is that acceptable?"
Mo Cheng nodded, "No problem. Also, don't put any unique labels on the dagger, don't use visible skills, and don't record them."
The dwarf was not surprised by Mo Cheng's request. "Add 20% to the price of the finished product, and don't acknowledge it once it's out. No after-sales service, and pay in person. Do you accept it?"
"no problem."
Of course he accepted it. The price and conditions were in accordance with existing practices, so Mo Cheng would not make himself an exception.
Dwarves have the habit of labeling and keeping good records. But there are always some clients who require confidentiality, not only no labels, but also no records.
At first, the dwarves naturally disagreed, after all, in a seller's market, the dwarves have the final say. But after the dwarves have lived in other races' cities for a long time, they have to integrate into them, so the above regulations were introduced.
Some shady people follow these unspoken rules when they hire someone to make something for them.
After putting away the 100 gold griffin deposit and the Steel Wolf King's Teeth that Mo Cheng paid, the dwarf shop owner had no intention of calling him back and continued to adjust the size and structure of the furnace. It was obvious that he was not satisfied with his furnace and needed to make some adjustments.
Just as Mo Cheng was about to leave, a tall figure walked in the doorway, "Hello, could you help me take a look at this sword?"
Mo Cheng was startled by the familiar voice. He looked towards the door and said in surprise: "Captain Margaret?!"
The person who came in was the head of the law enforcement team, Margaret Lauren Frost.
She looked surprised, as if she was also surprised to see Mo Cheng here, "Reverend Mo Cheng, why are you here?"
"I just happened to be here for something."
Mo Cheng did not directly say what he was going to do, and Margaret did not bother to ask any more questions. She just handed the one-handed sword in her hand to the dwarf store manager who was walking over.
“clang!”
Like a long sword being drawn out, a small whirlwind was stirred up in the store. At the same time, Mo Cheng could also feel a sharpness that could cut through his dragon scales.
only……
Mo Cheng frowned. He didn't know why this sharpness and the whirlwind gave him a very strange feeling.
It was an indescribable feeling, but this feeling was telling me that although the sword was sharp enough to cut through my dragon scales, it could not hurt me.
When the dwarf store manager completely pulled out the one-handed sword, Mo Cheng finally knew where his feeling came from.
Fragile and breakable.
This was Mo Cheng's only impression. The green sword was wrapped in a breeze, but the breeze was scattered and did not gather, blowing randomly in all directions. The sword was full of cracks, making people wonder what the sword had endured to become like this.
The dwarf store manager placed the sword in front of his eyes, being careful not to touch the part of the sword that had begun to crack. At the same time, he sprinkled a handful of powder on the sword, causing the light breeze that had begun to scatter to blow along its original trajectory.
"Which term? Which term?"
The dwarf store manager suddenly asked, and Margaret had expected it, so she answered the dwarf store manager's question: "Twelve, the fifth time."
“It can’t be repaired.” Putting the one-handed sword back into the scabbard, the dwarf store manager’s eyes that were not covered by his beard were full of helplessness. “Even if my teacher came, he wouldn’t be very confident. This sword has been passed down too many times, and it has failed too many times.”
"It hasn't self-destructed yet, and that's because a lot of materials have been used to repair and maintain it. This is the last time, and it's hard to say whether this sword can hold up to the end."
Mo Cheng watched quietly from the side without saying a word. He didn't expect to see an epic weapon here, even though it was an epic weapon that hadn't been fully upgraded, was stuck, and had cracks all over its body due to too many failures.
When in the [Foreign Land], Mo Cheng often drooled over the weapons and equipment that looked cool and had powerful attributes and skills .
But the ignorant behavior of youth will always affect future growth. I felt good about the [Poverty Pledge] at the beginning, but the result is that I can hardly see any good equipment on me. Not to mention equipment, there are not .
When you fight with others in the wild, others drink a lot of amplification and BUFF drugs, but you can only use your bare hands to beat through those bastards who are showing off their wealth.
