Chapter 15 Dwarf Balode

"First update!"

The noise on the street is as usual.

Among the alchemy shops on Yinfengye Street, there are hawkers with specialties from all over the world. They shout loudly to attract the crowds of people. Come and see, come and see, the pearls produced in Thorn Bay are big and bright." Come on, cheap and delicious red sweet fruits, even if they are ten times more expensive, they are very cheap.

"How much did Oliver give you?" The girl suddenly asked.

"Three out of five Oren." Leo sighed. Deducting materials is not labor, and there is no equivalent conversion magic. That's it." Li Ou pinched the purse in his hand and said, "If it hadn't been for you, I would have been hungry for a while."

It is simply difficult to maintain the usual use of these rewards. What's more, there is another house in urgent need of repair. He felt that the girl around him must have had enough of the moldy room.

"Even without me, you can find a satisfactory escort." Lu Yuewu said, "I just happened at the right time."

"But this is also great luck." Li Ou smiled and said, "I now believe that the goddess of luck is on my side."

They crossed the crowded streets and stopped at the stalls along the way, but never saw anything. They turned a corner and there was a circular square in front of them. The square is more noisy than Silver Maple Leaf Street. The vendors almost occupied the square, leaving only a narrow passage between their stalls or wooden sheds.

"Sweet red wine," a wine seller is holding a delicate pottery cup to invite people passing by to drink, while attracting guests in fluent Mandarin. I have oyster wine from the narrow sea, Iris sweet sake from Transer, fire wine from Alan Island, coconut wine... I have everything you can think of here.

The wine dealer's head is very small, and his hair is combed into countless braids of different lengths hanging behind his head. He was dressed in a black and blue robe belonging to the independent city-state of the narrow sea, wrapped tightly.

When Leo stopped in front of his booth, he bowed deeply: "Ah, distinguished sir, beautiful lady. What do you want? I have the world-famous green honey wine produced by Knar in the Black Forest. How similar the sour, sweet and honey-like taste is to love. I promise you will like it."

"Would you like to have a drink?" Li Ou turned his head and asked the girl next to him, "I don't mean anything else. I just think you will like its taste." Before the girl answered, Li Ou said to the wine seller, "Please give me a small glass. Sorry to trouble you."

Light green liquor is injected into the milky white porcelain cup, swinging a circle of ripples,

Lu Yuewu took a small sip, "Not bad. There is a kind of exotic complex contained in it.

"How is it better than the seven-grain wine produced in your hometown?"

The girl thought for a moment and gave a pertinent evaluation, "Each has its own advantages." She blinked, "Do you want to buy a bucket?"

Li Ou threw away his money bag and pretended to be powerless. "I thought, who doesn't want to have such a cup at dinner. But I can't afford it now, but it doesn't represent the future.

"I know that." The girl's eyes are smiling. She raised her empty glass, "So you staged a good show of drinking for salary?" What a good deal."

"Only by calculating can there be a lot of wealth in the room."

"Then pay to leave now," the girl returned the glass to the wine seller. "I'm afraid that if you have another drink, you will leave me here without hesitation, turn around and run away."

"How can a gentleman do this?" Li Ou said, "But even if you leave, you can't return empty-handed." He summoned the drinker and said to him, "Please give me a bucket of spirits from the ice and snow country in the north."

" spirits? Why did you buy it? Your cellar is full of spirits.

"You have to bring some small gifts to visit friends."

"The spirits of the Kingdom of Ice and Snow?" The wine seller opened his eyes wide and looked unbelievable, patrolling back and forth between Li Ou and Luyuewu. You, do you mean that one?"

"What? Is there anything wrong?" The girl asked.

"No, no. But that's really..." The wine seller couldn't speak to Lu Yuewu's problem. "It tastes simply... I'm afraid that kind of thing is not suitable for this beautiful and noble lady, sir. If you change it, only the bright red wine as roses in a crystal glass is suitable for oriental beauties far away." He flattered Lu Yuewu.

"All right." Li Ou knocked on the high wine barrels piled next to him and made a dull sound, "Who let him take a good bite?" Please give me a small bucket," Leo repeated, "it's the kind of rye that tastes bitter."

The extreme disappointment in the eyes of the wine dealer flashed away, and the price of that wine was completely different from that of green honey wine. Welcome to come often." The wine seller said weakly and slightly unwillingly and resentfully.

Li Ou shrugged his shoulders indifferently and took the barrel.

"Let's go." He said.

"Where are you going?"

"Let's get the sword."

They squeezed out of the square market and recruited a carriage. Horseshoes knock on the stone road, wheels ring, carelessly pass through palm trees planted on both sides of the street, the less crowded Champagne Avenue, through the tower shield gate inspected by soldiers, and enter the dense workshop area in the north of the city. But even if it is far from the city center, you can look back and see the towering sword spire of the Creator's Guild.

There is far from a noisy market here, and the sound of hammer beating is still annoying. Not to mention the scorching black smoke in the air.

"That's it here. Never think of a moment of silence.

Li Ou led the way in front of him, turned a corner, and walked straight into an open but unattended blacksmith's shop. There are not many things in the blacksmith's shop. After entering the door, the first thing you can see are two wooden shelves, which are covered with a thick plate armor and light chain armor respectively. On the left and right walls, there are all kinds of weapons, from long swords and axes to meteor hammers and sickle. The steel surface of these exhibits is covered with cloud lines, showing that they have been tempered.

Lu Yuewu couldn't help but marvel at it.

"Barold!" Li Ou shook the bell hanging in the store and shouted in the room through the wrapped iron wooden door.

Who is it? Who is shouting outside? A muffled voice came from the room, "I told you, what you like to throw the money there, don't bother me if you have anything to do!"

"I'm knocking on the door with a bucket of good rye of the Ice Kingdom."

There was a clutter in the room, like a dozen naughty children beating pots and pans in the kitchen. The heavy and fast footsteps were from far to near, and the wooden door with nails blocked in front of Leo was severely smashed open.

"Ah, Leo." The owner of the blacksmith's shop rushed to Li Ou with a red face, like a crash. Fortunately, he stopped his feet in time, "It's okay to hug." He waved his hand with a dry smile and stared straight at the wine barrel in Li Ou's hand. "How can I even see the crows that are usually chirping when I get up this morning? It turns out that there are distinguished guests."

Lu Yuewu opened her eyes wide, as if she had seen something incredible.

"Dwarf?" She couldn't help exclaiming.

"Otherwise, who else will be enthusiastic about rye?" Li Ou made a grimace, "No one likes the smell."

The dwarf Balode jumped on the chair, pulled off the plug of the wine barrel, held the small wine barrel* and took a big sip, sighing with satisfaction. Hearing their conversation, he put down the barrel angrily and stared at Leo.

"I don't like your cherry wine either! Soft, sweet and greasy like a fat insect drowning in honey! Only dwarfs like it!" The dwarf said angrily, and then looked up at Leo's companion, "Liou, she is yours... It's the first time I've seen a woman following you."

"Guard."

"Oh, guard." The dwarf Balode had a messy short orange hair and shook his head with his legs hanging in a chair. Years have left a mark on his face: there have been layers of wrinkles on his face. However, the weather-beaten eyes have become extremely hot with the accumulation of time. "You can see that she is deeply trusted by you."

Li Ou felt that there was something in his words, "Barrod, what do you want to say?"

"Didn't you tell her in advance? She looked surprised when she saw me. The dwarf rudely pointed to Lu Yuewu and said in a muffled voice, "I think she looks like a ghost."

"I just talked to the ghost seven days ago. Unfortunately, it didn't let me say hello to you. Leo had nothing to do with the dwarf's serious temper, so he had to reply angrily, "Drink your bar!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Dwarf." Lu Yuewu sincerely apologized for her impolite behavior. She opened her mouth and tried to explain why she did it. "I just... I've never seen you."

"Have you never seen it?" The dwarf curled his lips and said, "Hey, beautiful lady, the dwarves' footprints can be regarded as all over the continent. Every city has our figure. He suddenly stopped his mouth, and the surprise on his face was obvious, "Liou, did she use the sharp sword you asked me to build with an unusual style and center of gravity?"

"Of course. Otherwise, who else will there be?"

The sword is narrow and long, shaped like willow leaves. It's more like a sword decorated by noble young masters and ladies. The dwarf Balode's eyes flashed like a beating candlelight, which made Lu Yuewu feel a little palpitation, "Ah, I know! You are from the East!" He shouted, "Look at your eyes and your face. Only the East has such a heroic and beautiful woman as you."

Lu Yuewu asked with a little surprise, "Have you been there?"

"I go to too many places. It's so much that I can't remember clearly." The dwarf muttered impatiently. He held the barrel, jumped off the chair and said to them, "I took the wine, boy. Wait here now, and I'll bring your swords."

The dwarf didn't let them wait too long, and soon came out with two long swords wrapped in Mabri.

"How about it?" He said confidently, "made of Wallest steel, the hilt is wrapped around shark skin with special silk thread, and the end is dissolved in silver, so that you can increase your magic. Leo, this is the gem vacancy that I put my time trying to save.

Li Ouping turned around with his sword, and layers of ripples shined as soon as they met the light. The blade is extremely balanced and moderate in weight, almost the same as the sword he lost in the cemetery, and he can't feel any difference.

"Barrod, you can't say anything about your craftsmanship. Every time I don't empty my purse, I won't give up.

"That's of course. This is my ability to look at home." The dwarf scratched his chin, "Miss Dongfang, what do you think? How does my craftsmanship compare with that of my oriental counterparts?

"It's not inferior." Lu Yuewu replied without thinking, "Even won a little. The sword body is dense and has no flaws.

"There is no doubt about it!" Barrod raised his eyebrows happily, "If it hadn't been for this boy's hurry, I promise I could build something better enough to survive a hundred years without rust..."

"Okay, Balode, I know your craftsmanship is unparalleled. But now please go again. This time I want you to hide something in the iron box under the bed.

Every time Leo said something, the dwarf Balode's face was more shocked.

"My God! How do you know?"

"I need a standard dose of liquid astrocrystal." Li Ou smiled and spread out his hand, "He told the truth after drinking. This is not the only secret you blurted out.

"Okay, that's good." The dwarf gritted his teeth and roared, "Wait! You'd better pray that you can afford today's bill.

"Liquid astro Magic Crystal?" Lu Yuewu couldn't help asking, "Is it expensive?"

"I'm going to try another alchemy. It is a necessity. As for the price..." Leo showed a painful expression, "We have to thank the upright White Rose Knight. If it hadn't been for his negotiation, we wouldn't have been paid more than half.

"Isn't that ten Oren?"
