Located in the west of town, the Feld Inn is the most expensive place to spend in the whole of Belgoust. It is a bar, a hotel and a jiyuan. It also sells magic scrolls and a small number of magic items.

Walking into the hall, the whole inn was not very tightly wrapped in red. The red carpet, the red tablecloths, even the ceiling are red. Coupled with snow-white marble pillars and some green plants, it gives people a sense of nobility and luxury.

"I don't know what the food tastes like, but I'm sure they're expensive. Cagan: Is your wallet ready? Henry said with a teasing smile at the dwarf.

"Don't worry, I've got enough gold to go out today." As he spoke, Cagan found a table against the wall and sat down.

A beautiful waitress came over and asked, "Good afternoon, you two want something to eat." Our specialties here are charcoal-grilled steak, pork stew with turnips, mushrooms in meat sauce, grilled whole chicken, and steamed fish. ”

"I want a charcoal-grilled steak and mushrooms with bolognese." Henry ordered two dishes at random.

"Give me a steamed fish, a roast chicken, and a bottle of winter wine."

"Good two, please wait." After making a note of the menu, the hostess turned and left.

"Cagan, you drank so much yesterday, and you want to drink it at noon today?"

"I ordered it for you."

"But I never drink."

"Oh, there's no little Henry man who doesn't like to drink. You're still a little boy and don't appreciate the benefits of alcohol. It's a winter wine, and one sip will give you the feeling of being in the snow. ”

"Forget it, you don't want me to blow up your house while I work in the afternoon." Henry still refused, he was a drunkard before the crossing. I never thought there was anything good about ethanol. And as a mage, it's better to stay away from alcohol, drugs, and women. Many famous mages have fallen on this.

Soon the dish was served. Henry silently ate the steak and mushrooms in the puff. Cagan eats roast chicken and fish while drinking winter wine. He also babbled on saying that men should drink a drink or something like that.

Lunch cost a total of 5 gold coins, which is a sky-high price for a meal. Henry bought some blank scrolls by the way. After the dwarf paid the bill, the two began to walk back. Thirty minutes later, we were back at Cagan's house.

When you open the door to the basement, a large amount of dust falls. A musty smell irritates the nose. Henry frowned and asked, "Cagan, how many years has you not used this place for ironmaking. ”

"Forty years? Or thirty years? I don't remember exactly. It hasn't been used since the last time the blacksmith went out of business. ”

"It's a big job to clean up here." Henry saw that the bellows, covered with dust and cobwebs, and the punches, chisels, steel files, steel chisels, tongs, and other tools piled on the iron platform had begun to rust in large quantities. If you don't polish it, you can't use it.

"Let's start cleaning. Sprinkle some water first, and you clean the sanding tools. I'll sweep the floor. After cleaning the stove after most of the time. Hyung wrapped his head and face in a piece of cloth, carried a bucket and began to sprinkle water. The dwarf picked up the grinding wheel and began to re-polish the various tools to remove rust.

After three hours of hard work, the tool was polished and sparkling. The dust on the table on the floor was swept away. The stove was hollowed out, and the chimney and bellows were re-dredged. The two of them sat on the ground tired and gasped.

"It's finally over, buy some coal tomorrow, buy some ore, and you can start working." The dwarf shook the dust from his hair and beard vigorously.

"You'll also need a helper or apprentice." Henry said to Cagan by removing the cloth from his head.

"There are many people who want to learn the dwarven forging technique, and I can recruit a lot of apprentices who don't need a salary." Speaking of forging, Cagan straightened his chest and said proudly.

"I think we need to take a shower now. Then we went to my house for dinner. My sister is waiting for you to tell her adventure stories. ”

"Ha Luha, I love to tell adventure stories." The two men stood up and walked towards the well with their barrels. After washing off the dust and dirt from his body with cold water, he got dressed and went to Henry's house.

As soon as they entered the door and greeted each other, Lina came up and pestered Cagan to tell adventure stories. Henry helped his mother make a fire and prepare dinner. While the little girl and the dwarf were arguing about whether the digging worm could jump, a large pot of chicken and mushroom soup was brought to the table by Henry. The mother then brought the bowl and bread.

The hungry dwarf, tired from all afternoon, stopped arguing, took a large bowl of soup and devoured it. Cagan took a big sip and complimented, "Lily, the mushroom soup you make is always delicious." ”

The mother smiled at Cagan and said, "Thank you for your compliments, and thank you for taking care of Henry." I don't know how your adventure went, but I think he must have caused you a lot of trouble. ”

"It was a little bit of a problem at first, but then it was really amazing. Superb magic skills, and good ideas are endless. Otherwise, we won't be able to earn that much gold on this trip. ”

"Grandpa Cagan, that's not what you just said about your adventure." Once again, the little girl punctured Cagan's cowhide.

"Haha The bard also told the story of the halfling fighting the dragon. ”

Lina rolled her eyes and muttered, "But you just said that you cut off the heads of four digging worms with one axe, and split the insect king in half with another axe." ”

"Poof, ahem." Henry couldn't help but squirt the soup on the ground. Then he looked at the dwarf in amazement. This cowhide is too big, if it weren't for the poison prepared by the king of insects, the three of them might have to explain to the insects in the hole as reserve food. The cheeky dwarf was unaware and continued to eat and drink.

After dinner, Cagan took his leave, and before leaving, he told Henry to come back tomorrow at noon, and that in the morning he was going to order some coal and iron ore and accelerant. After the dwarf left, Henry told his sister and mother about his adventure. He didn't want his sister to be brainwashed by exaggerated adventures. It's as if he was a kid and listened to Cagan's story of adventure, killing all sides, and gaining the glory of treasure.

The next day at noon, Henry arrived at Cagan's house, and the blacksmith shop was open as normal. A small sign reads Heavy Hammer Blacksmith Shop hanging above the gate of the dwarf's house. The first floor was converted into a place to display weapons and armor. In the basement, an apprentice was vigorously pulling the bellows, and the wind entered the furnace, and the flames in the hearth burst out. Cagan clamped the red-hot iron object to the anvil with pliers, held the tongs in his left hand and turned the iron, and held the hammer in his right hand to hit the iron with special techniques.

Henry stood beside him and watched quietly without speaking. After hundreds of thrashes, the shape of a long sword gradually became apparent. The dwarf picked up the sword embryo and put it into the sink, and with a "squeak", a puff of white smoke suddenly floated up, and the quenching was completed.

"You're here, see if there's no this, that's the basics of striking iron. First of all, the ore needs to be melted to remove impurities and turn it into molten iron. Then pour into the mold to form and cool. The most important thing is repeated heating, forging and quenching. In terms of normal materials, the better the weapon, the more times it needs to be forged. Hundreds of times, months at most. Cagan explained to Henry the essentials of striking iron.

"You need to start with the basics, starting with the simplest, practicing the forging technique." As he spoke, the dwarf took the blank of the dagger. "First go to the heat, and then hit it repeatedly with a small hammer on the anvil. Feel the force with your hands and stare at the shape with your eyes. ”

Henry also learned to take off his shirt and put on an apron. Use pliers to pick up the blank and put it in the stove to start adding. When the iron begins to turn red and soft, take it out immediately, put it on the anvil, raise the small hammer and start forging. "Don't push too hard, and thrash evenly," Cagan instructed from the sidelines. Once, twice. When I hit the fiftieth hit, I felt my arm sore and numb. Gritting his teeth, he persevered until the embryo was knocked out of the shape of a dagger, and then put it into the sink for the first quenching.

Henry dropped his tools and sat down on the stool, panting heavily, sweat running down his cheeks. I'm soaking wet. Cagan picked up the dagger and looked at it carefully and said, "The first half is not bad, but the second half is unevenly thick." Your stamina needs to be exercised. For the next few days, you will be responsible for beating the blanks, and you must have a good body for striking iron. Teaching you how to breathe as a dwarf can save you a lot of effort. ”

Henry nodded after drinking a glass of water, picked up the blank next to him and took a deep breath as he lifted the hammer according to the method taught by the dwarves, and then took a change breath after beating it four times. Sure enough, it was a lot easier. For the next seven days, he came to Cagan's blacksmith every day to hammer the blanks. From the simplest daggers to swords, axes, two-handed greatswords, spear tips. His strong learning ability allowed him to learn the essence of forging and the timing of quenching in just seven days.

On the eighth day, Cagan began to teach him how to identify ores and veins to remove impurities. There are also annealing, normalizing, tempering and other processes and tell him how to cut the sword. And taught a lot of the alloy recipes used by the dwarves. After two days of studying, Henry moved from the basement to the first floor and began to sharpen the well-crafted weapons.

By the eighteenth day, Henry had learned all the forging techniques and processes. "You're already a good blacksmith no less than mine." Cagan said after seeing Henry's graduation work, a beautiful scimitar. This scimitar is made of good steel, using several unique processes on the earth, using the steel-clad technology to quench and temper several times in two days, and the blade is carburized. After experimentation, it is possible to cut through ordinary iron swords without damaging the blade, and a light slash can cut through tough leather armor.

The dwarf made a beautiful scabbard out of shark skin, stuck the scimitar into it, and gave it to Henry, who gave the knife the name Streamer. Because the black blade is hidden when it is quickly swung, only the cold light of the specially treated blade can be seen. ———————————————————————————————
