"I, I'm an orphan, I don't remember anything when I was a child, I just know that the master took me in, I have the impression that the master doesn't look like a master of the instrument maker at all, I have never seen him make a weapon, but the master will leave the place where we live every once in a while, often for a few months, the master is not very strict, at least he has never scolded me, even if he guides me to cultivate, it is also a good temptation. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Li Yi's answer was a little stumbling, but fortunately, he fully expressed his meaning.

"Huh? You're an orphan too, ......, by the way, then your craft must be very powerful, what you told me that day is clearer than any other maker I've ever heard before, but why haven't I seen you make a weapon? ”

Li Yi smiled a little helplessly, "To be honest, I really don't know how to make weapons, don't believe it first, my master has never taught me, even cultivating eyesight, he didn't tell me why I want to cultivate, I haven't asked, the things I tell you are all read in books, and all my knowledge in making weapons comes from this library." As for hands-on tools, I don't really ......."

Li Yi originally wanted to say that he had never made a tool by himself, but he thought that he had just said that he had made that tool before, so he paused and changed his words: "I really don't have much experience, the semi-finished product you saw is my first work." ”

"Hee-hee, it's really interesting, my first work is a phantom stone necklace, and the city lord's wife likes it very much." Chen Liuqin immediately answered, and then continued: "Our experience is like, hehe, we are all orphans, we are all good at making tools, and we are all not good at making tools......

Li Yi nodded lightly, Chen Liuqin's words reached his heart, he also felt this way, invisibly, the distance between the two people is one step closer, people are always like this, people with the same experience will always have a more intimate feeling.

"But you're still better than me, hehe, I'm called a little crazy person by them, in fact, I'm saying that I have some random ideas, making something that doesn't work at all, who makes me stupid, but I still like making tools" Chen Liuqin said with some self-deprecation.

"Just because you like it? You're just teaching yourself how to make a machine? Don't care about other people's eyes? ”

"What's the use of worrying, the road is your own, let them say go, I'll just live happily, hehe"

Li Yi nodded thoughtfully, feeling that he was not as good as Chen Liuqin.

Yes, why bother too much about the mystery on your body, there will always be a time to solve it, now, it is better to be down-to-earth, continue your escape plan, and be optimistic about the upcoming difficulties, although the other craftsmen do not want to leave here, but they just don't want to be imprisoned here like this, they must escape, whatever, insist on going their own way, insist.

Li Yi, who had figured it out, was also a little less melancholy on his eyebrows, and under the sun, his handsome face was also shining.

Chen Liuqin's unintentional exclamation to himself made Li Yi cheer up again, and he began to have confidence to face the unknown road, which was tantamount to a new life, a new birth in thought.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot about business, it's the birthday of City Lord Zhu soon, what are you going to make as a gift?" Chen Liuqin asked as if he suddenly realized.

"Why make it? What dedication? "I was puzzled.

"Oh Maiga, you don't even know this, because the city lord's birthday is coming up after the New Year, and double happiness is coming, so there is an unwritten rule in the artifact department, that is, each artifact maker will make a magic weapon for the city lord as a gift." Chen Liuqin patiently explained.

"Ah, there's this rule, I really don't know, I can't do anything, can I not do it?"

"Of course not!" Chen Liuqin replied categorically, and then said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, and me, my creativity, coupled with your profound knowledge, we will definitely be able to make one, ah no, two excellent congratulatory gifts."

Li Yi wanted to shirk it, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't escape from the Weapons Department in a short time, so it was better not to behave too abnormally, so as not to attract Zhu Minghua's attention, thinking of this, Li Yi finally nodded lightly and agreed.

"Yes, I knew you would agree, okay, I won't talk to you anymore, I'll go back and think about it, by the way, I'll help you ask Master, although I may not be able to ask, but I will do my best" Chen Liuqin was indescribably happy, and promised to help Li Yi ask about him.

"Thank you!" Li Yi showed a heartfelt smile, and his tone was full of sincerity.

"Then I'll go, see you later!"

Chen Liuqin saw that everything he had to do was done, and he was delayed here for a lot of time, although he was faintly reluctant to leave, he still offered to say goodbye.

Li Yi watched Chen Liuqin leave, with a happy look in his eyes.

It's just that he won't know that Chen Liuqin came in until he left, Zhu Minghua looked at the library with a smile.

In Mingde City, it has been restored to the past, the bustle on the street, and there is no way to see the appearance after a little chaos, about the chaos, it has become the best topic for people to discuss in private, especially in the restaurant, there will always be some humane confessions, which arouse everyone's curiosity, but most of them are just listening to the mentality of having fun.

However, there will also be some people who leave a sigh when they hear those colorful descriptions, such as Chu Tianyun, such as the person in charge of Zhicheng.

On that day, Chu Tianyun fought to the end, seeing his brothers die and himself seriously injured, this sigh was for those innocent people.

On that day, the person in charge of Zhicheng came to visit Zhu Kun in the heavy rain, and proposed to come to celebrate his birthday, and the next day, when Zhu Minghua saw the entourage who came and went like the wind beside him, the 'Youlong' sword roared out and killed him on the spot, and then insisted that this person was an undercover agent of the Vain Life League, and the person in charge of Zhicheng sighed again and again, and there was no other way.

The other six main cities in the Seven Cities Alliance also suffered a lot of dark losses in this event, but they didn't really care, after all, from the source, it was their own side that was poor in reasoning, and they still sent representatives to congratulate Zhu Kun on his birthday, and half of these representatives were the leaders of those big forces, and almost all of them came to the City Lord's Mansion in the heavy rain, as for the reason, it goes without saying that those who didn't come in time all became the remnants of the Wasted Life Alliance.

When Qian Guang saw that the leaders of those forces were staggering with the lord of Zhu City like no one else, he deeply understood that this was politics, and the interests of the whole were the first, and he secretly scolded this group of guys with a human face and a beast's heart, I don't know if Zhu Kun was also scolded.

On this day, there were still five days before the birthday of the city lord Zhu, Li Yi was pulled away from the artifact department by Chen Liuqin, and the target was the largest artifact shop in Mingde City, which not only sold some necessary supplies for artifact, but also some precious materials, which the artifact department may not have.

Li Yi didn't plan to go out, because he was afraid that he would cause some unnecessary trouble, but he couldn't stand the soft grinding and hard bubbles of Chen Liuqin's little girl, and he also said righteously that it was to prepare for the congratulatory gift.

After thinking about it carefully, thinking that Zhu Minghua had put so much effort into acting out a Li Dai Tao stiff, then the people outside must have thought that his apprentice as the master of the instrument making should have died, and Li Yi agreed to go out.

Anyway, there are guards from the Ministry of Weapons to follow, and they can't die, what are you afraid of, this is also the truest thought in Li Yi's heart.

Walking on the road, Li Yi was still asking, since the crafter is raised by the Crafting Department, then all items should be supplied by the Fabrication Department, why do you have to buy it yourself?

Chen Liuqin glanced at him before he said, "Are you stupid to read books, you don't even know this thing, I really don't know how you came over in the Instrument Department for so long." ”

"The biggest supply of the artifact department is the phantom stone, and some other ordinary materials will also be supplied, but the precious materials can only be withdrawn when they reach a certain level, as for some of the necessary tools for the craft, it is completely up to the maker to buy it himself, of course, the cost can be reimbursed by the artifact department." Chen Liuqin explained patiently.

"Isn't this artifact shop entirely for the makers of the Artifact Department?"

"How is it possible, there are also craftsmen in this folk, it should be said that they are apprentices of weapon makers, they are unsuccessful in cultivating eyesight techniques, but they can still make some other things, most of them are weapons of no grade, or some other utensils, similar to me, hehe" Chen Liuqin did not forget to joke in his explanation.

The two walked and chatted, and before they knew it, they arrived at the door of the shop.

Before the two of them could speak, the guy next to the door of the shop greeted: "Two guest officers, what do you need, the small shop is of good quality and low price." ”

Chen Liuqin showed a sweet smile, and a pleasant voice sounded in the shop: "We want a better needle and pen, don't fool us with those ordinary goods." ”

The guy hurriedly smiled and said, "How come, how come, two of you, please." With that, he led the two of them to the boutique room.

The boutique room is not big, there are a few guests in it, Li Yi carefully observed, and did not see anything special, in public, he is not good at using 'through sight' to observe, but he has always been cautious and still cautious.

"Li Yi, come here, how about seeing this set of needle pens?" Chen Liuqin's voice sounded on the side.

Li Yi walked over, followed the direction of Chen Liuqin's eyes and saw a set of needle pens quietly placed on the counter, this set of needle pens has no branches, arranged in order from small to large, the needle pen as a whole is blue-gray, I can't see what the specific material is, the tip of the needle pen is shining with a silver-white light, Li Yi seems to recognize it as if it is a relatively rare carbon stone.

Carbon stone is a good material for the needle pen nib, because there are many types of carbon stone, so the nib made can achieve different degrees of softness and hardness according to the requirements, and can save the consumption of engraving materials, but the fly in the ointment is that the carbon stone nib is easy to wear, and impurities will be added in the engraving process, which has an impact on the phantom weapon produced.

The overall shape of the five needle pens is streamlined, and the pen body is also engraved with a landscape painting, which gives people a sense of tranquility and far-reaching as a whole, and you can know that it is not ordinary at a glance.

As soon as the guy in charge of the boutique room saw that Li Yi and Chen Liuqin were looking at this set of needles and pens, he lost no time in coming over and saying.

"The two guest officers really have eyesight, this set of needle pens has a great background, it is said that this is the first set of needle pens used by the most powerful craftsmen in Mingde City, you can see the excellence of this needle pen."

When the guy said this, Li Yi and Chen Liuqin were amused.

Li Yi carefully observed the nib of this set of needle pens, and there was no trace of wear and tear, and there was no trace of replacing the nib at the connection with the pen barrel, which showed that no one had used this one at all, so when he heard the braggadocio of the guy, he couldn't help but smile.

As for Chen Liuqin, she is the apprentice of the most powerful craftsman in Mingde City, of course she knows whether her master has used this set of needles and pens, and naturally she knows that this guy is bragging, so she can't help but smile.

The guy didn't know this, and thought that he was tempted to tell the two of them, and continued to brag about his needle pen, "You see, this tip is made of pine carbon stone, and there is wood?" This means that materials can be saved, there is wood? Look at it again, the material of this body is water clear stone, and water clear stone has the effect of concentrating and calming the mind, and there is wood? Look at it again, the landscape painting on this pen has a far-reaching artistic conception, and there is wood? The craftsman can use this to at least make a three-star phantom weapon, there is wood? ”

Li Yi and Chen Liuqin were dumbfounded.

The guy didn't stop yet, and said in an inflammatory tone: "Dear, what are you hesitating about, there is only one set of such needles and pens in our store, and if you miss it, you won't have a chance." ”

Li Yi and Chen Liuqin completely collapsed.

Seeing that the guy finally stopped talking, Chen Liuqin glanced at Li Yi, meaning to let Li Yi refute it.

Li Yi first stopped laughing, then shook his head again, and said: "This needle pen is so brand-new, at first glance, no one has used it, although the pen body is a clear stone, it has the effect of concentrating and calming the air, but it must be held in the mouth, do you want us to bite the pen to make the instrument?" There is also this point, the pine carbon stone is soft, and the loss is greater, which seems to be not suitable for making phantom stone weapons. ”

Although Li Yi has never touched a needle pen, he has also read books on this subject, especially all kinds of common materials, and he dare not say that he knows everything, and it is almost the same.

As soon as the guy heard it, he knew that he had met an expert, and he was embarrassed to talk to him, "Hehe, what the guest officer said makes sense, but this needle pen is really good, and it is the best in the entry-level level, and the price is not expensive." ”

Li Yi didn't know anything about the price, and looked at Chen Liuqin for help.

Chen Liuqin swept the price, which obviously exceeded the upper limit of Li Yi's reimbursement amount, and couldn't help shaking his head and said, "Not bad is good, but the price is a little ......." The hesitation in his tone, as soon as he heard it, he understood that the price was on the high side.

At this moment, a voice came from the side, "Man, I want this set of needle pens." ”

The man who spoke was a man who had been in the boutique for a long time, and he didn't attract Li Yi's attention at first, but as soon as he opened his mouth at this time, Li Yi carefully observed, this person had a mediocre appearance, and what was impressive was that there was a scar on the left side of his face, which added a little fierce feeling out of thin air.

Chen Liuqin was angry that this person snatched love, so he wanted to open his mouth to refute, Li Yi stopped Chen Liuqin with his eyes, and wanted to wait and see what happened, although this set of needle pens was good, but for him, it was not necessary to buy. (To be continued.) )
