"This is Katarina, uh, Katerina what?"

"Katerina van Fels. It is a pleasure to meet you, Miss Sehireu, Miss Primra, and I am sure that we will become very good friends. In Luci's living room, Karin greeted Cesilio and Lim in a down-to-earth manner.

The two girls were dumbfounded, the other was expressionless, but neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was suddenly a little cold. Lu Xi could only secretly sweat while enlivening the atmosphere with a smiling face: "Well, for some special reasons, she is going to live with us temporarily...... Well, everyone must get along well, right? ”

"Get along well...... You're big! What the hell is going on? You explain it to me! Lucy Berencaster! ”

"Oops, oops, Sesilus......"

"No, oops, that's what you say every time you're ready to fool me."

"Why are you also good at learning, you used to be so cute. I'm desperate, I'm desperate for this world where even the tsundere natural line is starting to be black! ”

"No matter what you say, it's useless! Lucy Berencaster, if you dare to use public funds to bring a random woman home, just wait for the Union Discipline Investigation Bureau to interrogate! ”

"Do you want to make a small report? Hehe, he really deserves to be an honor student. ”

"Say whatever you want, but it's my duty!"

"Wait, who are you referring to by 'non-trivial women'?" Karin asked, holding up a hand, still smiling on her face, but everyone clearly felt a strong depression brewing.

Sesila bit her lip and didn't speak, for a serious honor student like her, calling a girl she had just met "no three or four" had exceeded her bottom line of politeness. If it weren't for the suddenness of things, she wouldn't have been out of shape like this. Karin's rhetorical question made her feel sorry in her heart, and she didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"Actually, I'm just a poor girl who was forced to marry by my family, because I really couldn't accept the status quo of being enslaved in my marriage and future, so I decided to run away from home. Well, then I met Lord Lu Xi occasionally. He was a very good man, very sympathetic to my plight, and extended a helping hand to me. No, I'm here. So, I'm definitely not a no, three, no, four, of, female, human! ”

Just as Karin and Cesileu looked at each other with a flare of lightning, the three-nil girl on the side suddenly spit out two words with an expressionless face.

"Impure."

"Huh?"

"That's right," Sesil said coldly, "Isn't it just abducting a girl and running away from home?" Do you think we're going to fall for you? ”

"That is, elopement." Primra added expressionlessly, her timbre was incomparably ethereal, so ethereal that Lu Xi almost sweated.

"How the hell do you understand that? Oops, it hurts...... Why did you hit me again? ”

Primra put away the knife in her hand, left another sentence of "impure", and got up and left with a blank face, leaving no room for Lu Xi to defend herself. Sesilyu glared at Lu Xi fiercely, and followed quickly.

It's useless for you to stare at me, you really misunderstood.

Lu Xi didn't defend himself in the end, because he knew that his reasons were too unconvincing, and it was hard to believe it if he thought it was his own. He looked at Karin beside him, and after a while, Karin suddenly smiled and patted Lu Xi's shoulder: "You are so pitiful, but don't worry, the root of the matter is still me, so I will not be irresponsible." ”

"Hehe, thank you so much." Lu Xigan laughed twice. For some reason, he could always find a hint of schadenfreude in Karin's smiling face. …,

"By the way, I still want to go to Nancheng, so you can go with me. Well, last time I took a fancy to a sword in a small arms shop there, but unfortunately I didn't bring any money. This time you can't miss it. ”

"Hey, why is it a sword and not jewelry, clothes, dolls or something? You're too uncute as a woman, aren't you? ”

"Huh? Are you a fool? Every day, Agilian's special dress and Star Swirl's limited-edition jewelry are brought to me for me to pick out, and I don't necessarily have a good eye on them. Why do you want to go to Nancheng? ”

"That's why I hate you local tyrants......" Lu Xi muttered in a low voice, finding that the other party didn't react, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly said: "It's not impossible to accompany you, it just so happens that I also have something to go to Nancheng, but...... It had to be night. ”

"Why at night?"

"Although I, as a counselor, actually have nothing to do, I always have to be in the embassy to make a show and make a serious commute. Also, I need your help. ”

The next day, Lu Xi and Karin came to Nancheng. At this time, it was just past dinner time, and night had slowly fallen. This time, he wore an inconspicuous gray-black coat, but he had already secretly brought a full set of equipment inside, and Karin finally changed out of her priceless evening dress and replaced it with a light outfit.

"I really don't understand. The big sword you used last time should also be a rare magic weapon, why did you go to Nancheng to buy a sword? ”

"I love collecting quality weapons, what's wrong with that? Besides, that big sword was a relic left to me by my grandmother, and I wouldn't have used it so casually if it wasn't for the fact that I didn't have anything else around me last time. ”

"Normally, grandmothers leave their granddaughters with family jewelry, gemstones, or wedding dresses, right? Your grandmother, still ......"

"What else?"

"It's really a maverick."

Karin glanced Lu Xi up and down, and that look instantly reminded the latter of the big cats before the hunt. She eventually snorted in a nasal voice to warn, but didn't say anything more.

"Alright, here it is." Karin stood outside a small blacksmith shop and pointed to the signboard on it and said to Lu Xi.

It's a small shop in an alley, with a small shop door that can only accommodate one person, and it's easy to ignore it if you don't look closely. An iron frame sticks out of the cracked door frame, and a dilapidated signboard swings in the wind, and the sound of "squeak, squeak" is full of depression, and it seems that it may fall down at any moment. No matter how you look at it, you can't connect this shop, which looks like it will close down in a few days, with a magic weapon.

Lu Xi squinted, and finally recognized a few words from the crumbling signboard.

"Uncle Tom? Uncle Tom's cabin? ”

"It's 'Uncle Tom's Blacksmith." Karin glanced at the other party, carefully pushed open the door, and walked into the shop, and Lu Xi could only follow.

Walking into the shop, Lu Xi found that the space in the dilapidated blacksmith shop did not seem to be as small as he imagined. Inside the room is a dozens of square meters, several neatly arranged cabinets and weapon racks leaning against the wall, on which are placed all kinds of weapons, from ordinary standard sabers to two-handed heavy sabers, from single-sided axes to long-pole halberds, from iron rods to maces, it is simply a small arsenal of weapons. Just by looking at their appearance, there was a chill that could be felt, and it was clear that they were all made by master forgers, and their refinement and texture surpassed even the standard equipment of the most elite armies of the Federation and the Empire.

"These weapons can equip at least a hundred-man team, right? Isn't the imperial government afraid of a riot? Lu Xi couldn't help but be speechless.

"All weapons shops in the empire have official authorization documents, and if you want to buy weapons in these stores, you must have a license to use weapons and an official identity certificate, and every weapon transaction will be recorded, and there is no problem you said. As for this weapon shop, it's a little special......"...,

Before Lu Xi could ask anything "special", Karin had already walked to a counter. There was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old apprentice napping there, and Karin tapped the counter vigorously, finally waking the apprentice awake.

The apprentice stared at Karin's face with wide, sleepy-eyed eyes, as if he didn't understand what was happening.

"Where's Uncle Thomas?"

"Well, you're looking for Daddy?"

"He still owes me a sword, sue him, I brought the money."

The apprentice stared at Karin up and down for a few moments with wide eyes, and finally decided to leave the matter to the person in charge.

"Daddy, someone is looking for you!" The elementary school shouted at the back of his voice. His voice seemed full of neutrality, which did not match the pink face of Zhengtai at all.

There was a sound of footsteps in the back hall, and the curtain on the back door of the foyer was opened by a big thick hand, revealing a not tall, but giving people a feeling of abyss. When he saw the true face of this visitor, Lu Xi finally knew why there were so many high-quality weapons in this seemingly dilapidated little shop.

The man who came in was only the size of an average adult's chest, many of them equivalent to a ten-year-old child, but his body was unusually strong. He wore a sleeveless jacket, and the muscles on his exposed arms were as hard as the roots of an old tree. He had a thick beard on his face, and the color of his hair was reminiscent of the finest copper, and of course, because of the beauty of his face, it was difficult to tell his true age.

It was a dwarf, and more importantly, a golden nameplate hung on the dwarf's chest with a quaint inscription in dwarven script. It is the hallmark of the highest title possessed by the dwarven craftsmen, the "master craftsman".

Known as the "Earth Elves", a race of people with an average height equal to two-thirds of the human race, they were born with the ability to communicate with rocks, mines, and metals, and were the best geologists and mining experts in the world of Gaberia, as well as the best masters of casting and engineering; And in this race, the elders with the most casting or mechanical attainments are called "master craftsmen". Every weapon or instrument that comes out of the hands of the dwarven master craftsmen is a priceless gem. Any small weapons shop, if there is a dwarven master craftsman, the level of the shop can immediately rise from a ground shop to a luxury store.

However, it is estimated that it is a long story why a master craftsman opened a small inconspicuous blacksmith shop in the southern part of the city of Cerocia, the center of the human world, who has never liked to deal with outsiders too much.

The dwarf couldn't see any ripples in his small eyes through his thick beard. He looked Karin up and down, then held out a hand.

"Money!" It's really Elder Tang's momentum, concise and to the point.

"Where's the goods?" To Lu Xi's surprise, Karin also seemed to be a different person and responded in a similar way.

"Hmph." The old dwarf snorted coldly, walked straight to the shelf, and took a long sword from the cabinet.

It was a one-handed sword, about a meter long, and Karin drew her sword from its sheath, a chill flashing across its sharp blade. Sure enough, it's a good sword, but that's about it.

(Name: Handguard Saber.) Quality: Excellent. Attributes: Sharp 12~~15, Hard 25, Durable 40. ）

This sword should be above average in terms of workmanship and texture, but in this dwarven shop, it is nothing more than mediocre. No matter how you look at it, it won't make Karin, a white rich and beautiful violent woman, forget.

According to Lu Xi's imagination, what can be bought by Karin in person should be the kind of low-key but simple and elegant sword, once it is unsheathed, it will be a world-famous sword of the level of sword qi and cold light in Kyushu...... The so-called divine sword was born, and it was inevitably a vision, which was a divine light in the sky, and auspicious and scattered .........,

"It's over, it's over, it's time for Bai to brew love." Lu Xi suddenly felt that he was like a fool who burned up inexplicably.

Karin also followed the example of a dwarf, snorted slightly, took out a cloth bag from her bosom, and threw it to the other party.

"According to your request, you have fifty precious stones of various colors in your pocket, and the gold coins that can be exchanged for at any jewelry store are definitely more than a thousand baht. That's worthy of you, right? ”

The dwarf snorted again, and with a flip of his wrist, his pocket was gone, and it was completely unclear what he had done.

"The deal is done, I'm leaving." Karin lifted her sword, waved her hand at the dwarf, and strode out of the room with Lu Xi, who had not yet reacted.

"Are you buying drugs or swords? Why are you in such a hurry? ”

"Ahra, of course I bought a sword, didn't you see it?"

"What sword is worth 1,000 baht? Dare not say it's not a drug? ”

"This sword is worth it. Well, in fact, I still took advantage of it, and if it weren't for Uncle Thomas and Grandmother being good friends, I wouldn't have gotten such a good discount! Karin smiled like a little fox who had begged for a big bargain, but she casually pinned the saber worth "ten thousand gold" to her waist, and she didn't see any feeling of affection at all.

"I understand your desire to share happiness with me, but I really don't understand at all, am I really out?"

"If you don't understand, forget it, I'm hungry, let's go get some supper."

"Supper? Well, I have a good place to recommend. ”

"Oh?" Karin squinted her eyes and glanced at Lu Xi from the corner of her eye, "It can't be something indiscriminate, right?" ”

"Why do you women like to talk about 'no three, no four'? It's a little creative, and the reader will be aesthetically tired! ”

"What are you talking about?"

"Anyway, don't care, just follow me." Lu Xi replied, and then took Karin's hand and strode forward without saying a word. They crossed a few streets, skirted an alley, and came to the door of a bar.

"Does this place look familiar?" Karin looked around and seemed to remember something.

"That's right, that's where you cut people last time."

"Am I going to chop a horse...... Wait, why do you say 'cut people', wouldn't it be nice to say 'the place where we first met'? You've ruined all the atmosphere, so you can give people a little romantic expectation, right? ”

"According to you: I'm just a magician, and my stomach is full of bad water, where do you get any romantic cells?" Lu Xi shrugged his shoulders and walked into the restaurant first.

"Stingy man......" Karin heard the dissatisfaction in the other party's words, muttered slightly, hesitated for a moment, and still followed.

On that gate hangs a brass sign with the name "Mark Donaldson's Bar" written on it.
