Chapter 163 - The Old Blacksmith
Lin Li was interested in this fat bandit, but there was not much time. He had to wait till he finished settling the Fire Salamandrid leather business before coming back to have a chat with him.
Elijah and Lin Li walked through the foul-smelling street amidst the arguments. They squeezed through with difficulty until half an hour later, when Elijah finally stopped.
“Mr Felic, it’s here.”
What he pointed at was a torn and tattered workshop.
This workshop was befitting of being described as torn and tattered. From afar, it was just a piece of wood dangling. It seemed like a gust of wind would blow away the main door, while the furnace outside the door was not even lit. The anvil had a thick layer of dust on top. When Lin Li walked over, the sight was bare and empty. It was as if it had been a while since the furnace had been lit.
“The Fire Salamandrid leather were purchased from here.” Elijah stood outside the workshop and introduced it to Lin Li softly, “This boss has a weird temperament, he may not open his store for days. Today, I saw that he had opened his store when I came early in the morning, so I rushed to the Guild of Magic to look for you. Luckily, we made it…”
Lin Li looked at the insides of the furnace, and then he looked at the anvil before asking curiously, “Oh, yes. Mr Elijah. How much did you spend to purchase those items?”
For Lin Li, magical equipment with two magical attributes did not pose any difficulty. Just by the designs in his head, he could come up with dozens of them. The Frostfire Sword that he’d forged in the Guild of Magic the other day was a typical example of magical equipment that had two attributes. It was just that Lin Li did not plan on doing the same thing again.
“Eh…” Just when the fire had started, Lin Li suddenly discovered that the temperature of the furnace was higher than normal furnaces’. Furthermore, the flame inside was purer than normal. Just this discovery alone increased Lin Li’s appraisal of that old blacksmith. Only blacksmiths like them that reached this level would know that during forging, factors other than craftsmanship were just as vital. The purer the flame, the lower chance of producing impurities and making mistakes.
