Chapter 145 Grandpa's Visit (Two chapters in one)
"Matteo, come in."
Matteo, who had just walked into the blacksmith shop, saw the brand new two-handed warhammer in the hands of the barbarian girl Lagre. At this moment, the warhammer was almost finished and was being polished.
Matteo's eyes suddenly became two circles bigger, and he was stunned by the dense spikes on the hammer head!
This exaggerated, even "ferocious" hammer head shape was the first time he had seen it.
"Mr. Lieutenant, this... This black warhammer, is it your new weapon?" Matteo was also at the scene when the Iron Virgin Doll attacked last night, and he knew that Ryan's bronze warhammer had been broken, so he asked.
"Yes, how about it, Lagre's craftsmanship is not bad!" Ryan also looked at the "pig head hammer" that was about to be completed, with a satisfied look on his face.
"Well! It's really domineering!"
"Mr., how heavy is this warhammer? It looks very heavy!" Matteo asked with great interest, and walked around the warhammer being polished and observed it carefully.
"Um, this..." Ryan only felt that the pig-headed hammer should be more than 100 pounds, much heavier than the glimmering giant sword.
But he didn't know the exact weight.
"Almost 150 pounds!" The barbarian girl Lagre, who was polishing, looked up and rolled her eyes at Ryan.
From her expression, it seemed that as the owner of the hammer, he didn't even know the weight of the hammer.
"Hiss~" Matteo couldn't help but take a breath, his eyes widened again!
It's hard to imagine the effect of this nearly 150-pound spiked hammer once the tip hits the human body!
Horrible! Horrible!
"By the way, Matteo, have you found a house?" Ryan turned to look at Matteo and asked.
Matteo then remembered the purpose of coming to the blacksmith shop to find Ryan. He patted his head and said, "Oh! Yes, sir, I checked several houses near the town administration office and felt that two houses should meet your requirements."
"If it is convenient for you, you can go with me to see them now."
"Okay! Then let's go and see them now." Ryan nodded.
He wanted to settle the house issue as soon as possible so that his parents could move in first.
In addition, the warhammer was only one step away from being forged. If he stayed, he would not have much blacksmith professional experience to gain.
Then, Ryan said to Lagre: "Then I'll go out and check the house first, and the rest will be hard for you."
However, Ryan just took a step, and seemed to think of something, and immediately turned around and said: "By the way, how about using blood-patterned steel ingots to make shields?"
Lagre was stunned, stopped what she was doing, looked up at Ryan with her beautiful eyes, and said: "Of course it's suitable."
Ryan nodded, smiled and said: "Then I will go home later and give you the blood-patterned steel ingots. Remember to make a new shield for yourself."
"This."
Lagre looked at Ryan thoughtfully, and wanted to refuse, but hesitated.
"Forget it, it's too expensive. Besides, a shield doesn't need so many blood-patterned steel ingots." Lagre shook her head.
However, before Lagre finished speaking, she was interrupted by Ryan.
Ryan waved his hand and said, "Don't refuse. Your oak shield was damaged in the battle last night. Without a shield, you can't show your strength."
"If you have extra blood-marked steel ingots, you can also make a blood-marked steel shield for me." Ryan looked at Lagre and said seriously.
This made Lagre blush slightly for no reason, and she lowered her head slightly.
"Also, if the church team comes in two days and goes to Night Song Forest again, you don't have a shield," Ryan shrugged.
Ryan's last words made Lagre no longer refuse. She nodded and said, "Okay! Then I won't be polite, Ryan, thank you."
Smiling, Ryan walked out of the blacksmith shop.
Ryan walked out of the door, thought about it, and decided to go to see the house with Matteo first.
Because once it was confirmed, he could let his parents start moving first, and by the way, he could go home to get the blood-marked steel ingots.
"Mateo, which house should we go to see first?" Ryan asked.
"Sir, the house we are going to see first was originally owned by the pie shop owner, Mycroft Degado."
"Mycroft was a good man, but unfortunately, his family all died in the church, killed by the ritual of the Black Flame Cult." Matteo briefly explained the origin of the house.
"The pie shop owner?" Ryan raised his eyebrows, as if he had thought of something.
"Is it the pie shop not far from Abel's Pharmacy?"
"Sir, you know it too? Yes, that's it." Matteo was a little surprised at first, but then he thought that Mycroft and Ryan were both from Shimmering Gold Town, so it was normal for them to know each other.
Ryan was of course familiar with that pie shop. He
often bought meat pies before. Mycroft's meat pies were one of his sister Mint's favorite pies, second only to the meat pies made by his mother Emma.
Soon, the two came to the first house, which was a two-and-a-half-story house only a hundred meters away from the administrative hall of Shimmering Gold Town.
The house has an independent fence, with small yards in front and back, but the front yard alone is much larger than Ryan's front yard.
At the same time, there are many flowers planted in the front yard, and there are basically no weeds. It seems that the original owner, the McCoff family, often takes care of it.
Ryan nodded slightly. This small yard is very suitable for digging. I think my sister Mint should like it very much.
After a simple walk around the house, Ryan found that there is a backyard behind this house that is slightly smaller than the front yard.
From this point of view, the overall layout of this house is very similar to Ryan's house, but the floor area is much larger, almost doubled.
Knowing that Ryan would come in to see the house, Matteo had prepared the key in advance.
"Click!" Matteo took the initiative to open the door of the house.
After opening the door, Ryan walked into the house and saw that the decoration inside was quite new, and most importantly, it was big enough.
The first floor was the dining and kitchen area and the living room with a fireplace. The second floor had four bedrooms and a utility room. It was called a utility room, but it was currently empty, with only a few simple tables and chairs.
In addition, there was a spacious basement on the underground first floor, which could be used to store some vegetables, grains and even wine that were not easily damaged.
The overall structure of the house was reasonable, at least two or three levels better than Ryan's house.
Ryan nodded slightly.
It was a very good house, and he was very satisfied.
"Mateo, how much is this house?"
"Two hundred and eighty gold coins, and it can be transferred at any time."
"Okay, this one."
"Sir, don't you want to go and see the other one?" Matteo asked in confusion.
He thought the other one was also very good, and there was also an independent stable.
"No need." Ryan shook his head.
Ryan chose this place for his own reasons. Matteo had just briefly introduced it. The other building was located east of the town center, far from Abel's Pharmacy, and even further from the administrative office.
"Matteo, come home with me first, and then you can accompany my parents to handle the transfer of ownership." Ryan said.
"Okay, sir."
The two of them walked back and soon passed by the door of Abel's Pharmacy. Unlike in the past, Ryan found from a distance that the door of the pharmacy was always closed.
This made Ryan very confused.
Generally speaking, no matter how busy the pharmacy is, there is always one person, Abel or Molly.
There are very few cases like closing the store.
However, Ryan had something else on his hands, so he naturally had no intention of exploring.
After returning home, Ryan briefly told his parents about the matter, and after handing the purse containing 300 imperial gold coins to his mother Emma, he asked the two to take mint and go with Matteo to handle the relevant transfer procedures.
Ryan took ten blood-marked steel ingots and returned to the blacksmith shop again.
As soon as he opened the door, Ryan saw Lagre waving a brand new pig-head hammer, but the slightly sluggish movements looked obviously very strenuous!
Seeing Ryan come in, Lagre smiled.
"Ryan, you came at the right time! I just finished the last process, try your new weapon."
As she said, she handed the pig-head hammer to Ryan.
As soon as Ryan took it, he felt the weight of the black pig-head hammer. It was a little heavy in his hand.
However, after Lagre added the texture and binding rope to the hammer handle, the hammer felt very good to hold. It can be held with one hand or two hands, which is very convenient.
Then, with the new weapon in hand, Ryan happily walked to the open-air backyard of the blacksmith shop and waved it casually.
After a few simple hammer techniques, the pig-head hammer gave him a feeling of being very smooth.
The only small problem is the weight of the pig-headed hammer. Because the whole body is made of hardened adamantium, the weight is still beyond Ryan's expectations, resulting in a relatively slow swing speed during the attack.
However, Ryan thought about it for a while and felt that this problem was not too big. After all,
if he really encounters a strong enemy, he must be in the "di-state" or "tri-state".
Because of the added strength before, at this moment, the limit-breaking value on the Ryan Knight (Extraordinary) panel has been further increased to 45%.
Just turn on the "limit-breaking" and increase the strength, agility and physical strength by 45%. The slightly heavy pig-headed hammer will immediately become very handy.
Once the firepower is fully opened, Ryan estimates that the pig-headed hammer will be slightly lighter.
There is no way to do this at present.
After all, the physical fitness of Ryan when he bursts and when he does not burst is very different.
"How is it, are you satisfied?" Lagre, who was watching Ryan's demonstration, asked with a smile.
"Very satisfied, Lagre, thank you."
"Well! Then I will go make the clay mold for the shield. By the way, what size shield do you want?" Lagre asked.
"Well, if there are enough blood-marked steel ingots, it will be the same as yours. If not, it's okay if the size is slightly smaller." Ryan thought for a while and said.
After all, for him, the shield is hardly used, so just keep it as a spare shield for Lagre.
"Okay!" Lagre nodded, she also knew that Ryan basically didn't use a shield.
While Lagre was making the clay mold, Ryan put ten blood-marked steel ingots into the blacksmith's furnace.
Following the method of last time, Ryan used the witchcraft "Scorching Touch" to melt the blood-marked steel ingots into a liquid state.
After a while, Lagre came in with the clay mold.
Because of the experience last time, she was not too surprised that the blood-marked steel ingots were melted so quickly this time. After placing the mold on the outlet of the blacksmith's furnace, Ryan opened the valve.
The blood-marked steel liquid slowly flowed into the injection hole of the clay mold.
Ryan also looked at the system prompt and was delighted:
[You have carried out the blood-marked steel smelting work, and your understanding of the relevant aspects has improved! ]
[You have learned a new skill - Smelting Blood-marked Steel]
[Your skill Smelting Blood-marked Steel has been improved, and your experience points are +72]
[You focus on smelting Blood-marked Steel Ingots, and your blacksmith professional experience points are +39]
[You have forged a shield, and your understanding has been improved! ]
[You have learned a new skill - Shield Forging]
[Your skill Shield Forging has been improved, and your experience points are +2]
[You focus on shield forging, and your blacksmith professional experience points are +3] When you
are with Lagre, your blacksmith professional level can always be improved quickly!
An hour later, Lagre held a brand new Blood-marked Steel Shield with a look of joy on her face!
And Ryan looked at the blacksmith professional level. Although the experience reward given by the system this time is still generous, because the blacksmith profession has just been upgraded, it has now been upgraded to blacksmith level 4 (329/1000).
When Ryan and Lagre returned, they found that Matteo had brought a lot of night watchmen to help move together.
And Anna, who was standing aside, seemed to have started to sort out her clothes. It should be her sister Mint who notified her.
Soon, Ryan and Lagre also joined the moving army.
——At
the same time. In the study of Baron Norman's family mansion
in Meister County , a conversation between father and son was in progress. "Father, the person you contacted this time will not be in the same situation as the Black Sail Pirates last time, right?" Dennis asked, standing beside his father Baron Norman with a slightly worried look. Ever since he knew that the "pariah", the farmer's son Ryan, whom he looked down upon, had entered the Knight Transcendent before him, he was extremely irritated. A "pariah", could he just turn over like this? Once he passed the canonization assessment, wouldn't he become a noble like him? When he thought that this kind of thing was likely to happen, the anxiety and jealousy in his heart almost completely overwhelmed Dennis. Therefore, Dennis took the initiative to come to his father Baron Norman, whom he had always been afraid of, and asked about the relevant situation. "The one who did it this time was an old friend of mine, Adams Nolan, a third-level wizard apprentice who majored in spells. His killing methods were very strange. I don't think it's possible for Ryan to escape this time." Baron Norman's right hand fingers rhythmically tapped the armrest of the luxurious calfskin seat. Dennis knew that this was a habit of his father, reflecting a mentality of mastering the overall situation. This immediately made him feel relieved. Although he had heard that the third-level wizard apprentice was very powerful, he didn't know what the spell department represented. But judging from his father's appearance, he should be very confident. "Adams once killed three top knights in a row in a battle!" "In addition, I also heard that he had a record of killing a great knight. Although Adams has never responded to this rumor directly, I guess it should be true." "Because I also know that great knight, but he disappeared later and I heard that he never appeared again." "Although Adams failed to be promoted to a trickster a few years ago and his strength has declined, I think it should be no problem for him to get rid of Ryan, even if Ryan's knight talent is outstanding." Baron Norman said slowly. Every word of the baron was like a sledgehammer, hitting Dennis's heart. Knocked away the restlessness and jealousy in his heart! He didn't expect that the friend his father found this time was so powerful! Dennis's face was flushed at this moment, and his heart seemed to be trembling with excitement. This made him more excited than when he wreaked havoc on Tina! ——Golden Town. Ryan's new home. After a few hours of moving, with the help of many Night Watchmen's subordinates, the whole housewarming matter was basically settled. Ryan looked at the busy and sweaty people, thought about it, and decided to invite his colleagues of the night watch to dinner in the evening to express his gratitude. So he asked his mother Emma to go to the market to buy some meat, vegetables and fruits such as chickens, ducks and fish, and asked his father old Ryan to buy some good beer and fruit wine. As for the repair of the old house, Ryan asked Matteo to find someone to repair it in the near future and sell it directly. After finishing these trivial matters, Ryan looked at the empty utility room on the second floor and thought about it. Soon, Ryan walked out of the house and came to Abel's Pharmacy, which was still closed. After looking inside through the crack of the door and confirming that there was no one, Ryan walked around half a circle and came to the door of the house behind Abel's Pharmacy and knocked on the door. "Who?" An extremely hoarse voice sounded, but Ryan could still recognize it at the first time. It was the voice of pharmacist Abel. "It's me, Ryan." "Creaky!" The door opened, and a tall and thin figure with bloodshot eyes and disheveled hair appeared in front of Ryan, which scared him immediately. Fortunately, Ryan's keen perception now allowed him to judge that the other person's breath was very familiar, and it was undoubtedly the pharmacist Abel. "You are Mr. Abel?" "How could you..." Ryan couldn't help asking. Abel looked up, looked at Ryan with bloodshot eyes, and said only one sentence. "Molly is dead." "Ah? How did Sister Molly die?" Ryan was startled when he heard it, and then asked. The Molly who was beautiful and gentle and had just married not long ago, in his impression, was gone at the age of 20? Ryan suddenly felt a sense of fragility about life.
At the same time, he also realized how precious it was for his family to be safe together!
In addition, Ryan also instantly understood why Abel became like this.
The pain of losing the most beloved spouse must be heartbreaking!
"Last week, Molly was killed by cultists while worshiping in the church."
"What!" Ryan's pupils shrank. He didn't really expect that Molly was among the people who died in the church last week.
"Ryan, why are you here this time?"
Ryan stammered twice. He knew that now was not the right time to speak, but after thinking about it, he said, "Mr. Abel, I want to learn how to make potions."
Abel waved his hand and said, "I don't have the mind to make potions now, let alone teach you."
"But... If you really want to learn, you can try to learn by yourself."
Abel took out a diary from the room and said, "This is some of my experience in potion making. If you really have talent, it should be helpful to you."
Ryan took it immediately. Although he was a little regretful, it was also expected.
It was an inconspicuous black notebook, and the leather cover seemed very old.
In addition, the surface of the black leather was stained with various colorful medicines. At the same time, it seemed that the notebook was caused by the residue of the medicine. It also exuded a smell that was not so comfortable.
But seeing how Abel treasured it, this notebook must have been the result of his hard work.
If the other party was not heartbroken at the moment, Ryan estimated that Abel might not give it to him.
"Mr. Abel, thank you very much!"
After thinking for a while, Ryan said again: "Mr. Abel, if Sister Molly was still alive, she would not want to see you so decadent. I hope you can cheer up and live a good life." After
leaving Abel, Ryan went to the grocery store and purchased some basic utensils for making medicines.
Then, Ryan returned to the utility room on the second floor of his new home and prepared to try to make a mutant growth potion.
At the same time.
At the door of the old site of Ryan's house, an old man in a black robe and holding a wooden cane came. The old man was wearing a hood and his face could not be seen clearly.
Looking at the empty old site of Ryan's house, the old man couldn't help but show a trace of doubt on his face. He
thought, Norman is getting less and less reliable in doing things.
But
he soon saw a night watchman wearing standard leather armor, walking into Ryan's house, and seemed to be moving something.
He stepped forward and asked, "Young man, does Ryan live here?"
"Hey, do you know the adjutant? Lord Ryan has moved, do you need me to take you there?" The young night watchman said enthusiastically, as if he regarded the old man as Ryan's friend.
"Thank you!"
The old man followed the young night watchman and soon arrived near Ryan's new home.
However, when he was about to arrive, he saw the old man whispered, "Young man, you just had a dream, and now you wake up"
"Well, what did you say, old man."
The young night watchman just turned his head, but when he saw the old man's deep eyes, he was suddenly stunned, his eyes were absent-minded, and his pupils looked out of focus!
But the next second, the young night watchman returned to normal, and there was no sign of abnormality.
The other party muttered to himself for a while, and then walked away. He
completely forgot that he had just helped an old man lead the way.
The old man soon came to the door of Ryan's new home, and saw no less than a dozen night watchmen coming in and out, and frowned slightly.
So many people.
This is not easy to do
, so let's talk about it at night.
But there is still one thing to do.
The old man turned his head and looked around, and soon noticed a little girl digging in the front yard.
"Little sister, is this Ryan's house?" The old man walked forward and said to Mint through the wooden fence.
When Mint looked up at the old man with innocent big eyes, it was instantly out of focus, and nodded woodenly: "Yes, grandpa."
"Then go get me a piece of your brother Ryan's clothes. If it has hair, it would be even better."
"Okay, grandpa."
Then, Mint turned and left, and soon came to Ryan's room, found a waisted linen coat of his brother Ryan, and took it down.
This scene was seen by Anna who was tidying up the room. Although she didn't know what Mint was doing with Ryan's clothes, she didn't ask much.
After Mint handed the linen coat to the old man, a few minutes later, Mint shook his head, feeling dizzy, but he didn't remember what happened.
The old man disappeared in the evening sunset.
Thank you for your 100 points of Qidian coins reward!
