Chapter 358 Tia and the Blacksmith

“Are you all right?”

Don Quixote looked at Tia Ya’s back, a worried look appeared on her face, “This is for her…maybe…”

“No, it’s just right.”

Herinenshook the head, old His face was full of indifference, “It’s better to let Tia come into contact with this now than to realize it after being hurt.”

“But Tia admits to death, why…”

Lorca was on the sidelines before he spoke. He knew the character of his younger sister, and he took it seriously. Now there’s a high chance that Tia doesn’t resent anyone anymore, she’s just arguing with herself and arguing with herself.

“Concerning leads to chaos.”

Zhou Li shook the head, not worried about Tiya’s condition. He looked towards Lorca and reminded: “Your younger sister is smarter than you think, she just doesn’t want to think, it’s not that she can’t think.”

“I’m afraid she will compete with herself.”

p>

Lorca was sighed, and he didn’t distrust Tia either. However, he had never seen Tia look so helpless. You must know that even if he was the big brother, it was Tia who helped him beat up half of the boys in the class to give him a head start. Through childhood, Tia was always full of confidence.

“Forget it, good people will do it to the end.”

Watching Herrinin’s unconscious worry aside, Zhou Li felt a little helpless towards these two people.

There is no other way, with Helinin as the head, Eldest Prince Evan as the auxiliary, Second Prince Lorca as the bastard, and the three Imperial Princess as the group pet, this family is not like other Imperial Family families except for intrigue. Intrigue, the rights to these few people can’t even catch up with half-price eggs. As the group pet, Tia is the main object of silent concern for these people. Even the dignified emperor Herinin was worried about his daughter’s mood.

“I’ll go and persuade her.”

Zhou Li waved his hand, not bothering, and said to the two of them, “Although I’m normally not good at words, I’m shy and shy. , but there is still a lot of research on persuading people. I persuaded the nobles of Magnum, don’t worry, there is always some effect.”

It’s broken, and I’m even more worried.

Zhou Li’s gags made the atmosphere less solemn than before, Herlinin secretly sighed in relief, and then gratefully said to Zhou Li: “Please. Tia is a good child, and I normally neglect it. I know her feelings.”

“Okay, just wait for me.”

Zhou Li was about to lift his foot to leave when Lorca suddenly spoke and said to him: “Ti Ya should be near the stream next to Mosk’s First Garden, she likes it very much.”

After a pause, Zhou Li nodded and left the building without saying anything. Then, he went straight to the melting pot of Mosk.

The Mosk melting pot is the second miracle besides the Tariq energy tower. The reason why it is called a miracle is that this giant factory, which produces 60% of Tariq’s steel, has a construction area that exceeds almost most towns. At the same time, the furnace has never had any accidents since its construction, which is a real miracle.

“Hello, which smelter do you want to go to?”

At the entrance of the North Third of the Great Melting Furnace, the receptionist respectfully gave a salute to Zhou Li, and then greeted him. introduced : “There are a total of 7,323 northern furnaces, including 32 large furnaces and three ultimate furnaces. If you want, I can book a tour of any furnace for you now.”

“Zane’s Furnace.”

In this huge furnace that can no longer be described simply as a “factory”, there is a smelter called “Zane” located on the ground floor at the edge. Because of the small output, the Zane smelting plant has not been started for a long time and has been in a standby state.

“Zane?”

The receptionist was stunned when he heard this unfamiliar name, but his professionalism made him react quickly, and opened the side with the engraved search rune’s notepad quickly found the melting pot that Zhou Li said.

“Zane…there, 202 Furnace, Third Street, Northern Region.”

After giving the specific address, the receptionist politely reminded: “This The furnace has been out of work for about a year, and no one is in it except the maintenance staff. And this furnace is a miniature furnace, so there is no value to visit, why don’t you take a look at the large or ultimate furnaces?”

“No need.”

Zhou Li politely declined the reception. He didn’t hate this reception. After putting away the hero exclusive, Zhou Li asked the reception: “Did anyone else want to go to Zane just now?”

“There is one, but she is from the South District, here I am. There is no specific record.”

After getting the answer, Zhou Li nodded. Then he entered this huge melting pot city and walked through it with ease. Even though it was his first time here, he seemed to have traveled a thousand times before, never even looking at a map or a sign.

Because, he really walked this road hundreds of times.

A small building that looks like the blacksmith’s shop in ancient times. It is very simple, but it looks neat and tidy due to frequent maintenance. Near the metal door next to the door, there is a small, hand-carved rough wooden token. The writing on it has been deformed due to prolonged high temperature and is not easy to see.

“Strong, protect the people I love.”

Zhou Li read those words in his heart, he knew this building, and also knew that this melting pot was very important to Tia what the words represent.

previous life, Zhou Li is Tia’s comrade-in-arms and one of her few friends. One rainy night, Tia had told Zhou Li many things, including her mother.

A gentle, ordinary, kind woman. Tia died of an illness at the age of sixteen, and Herlinin did nothing to save her life. On the day she left, Herlinin turned pale overnight, as if she were thirty years older. If it wasn’t for the Emperor’s Medal on his chest, he might have given up on himself.

According to Tia’s description, her mother is the most powerful woman she has ever seen in her life.

“dong dong dong.”

There was a knock on the door, and Zhou Li could hear the clanging of iron inside. He also knew that Tia could hear the knock on the door.

The clanging sound of the hammer gradually slowed down, and the girl’s slightly rapid breathing gradually became clearer. After a while, the door was opened, revealing the girl inside the house.

The long golden hair was tied back in a ponytail, and the strands of hair that fell from the sides were attached to the sweaty cheeks. Black’s training shorts outline a beautiful curve. Her sleeves were pulled high, revealing her fair forearms, her muscles were beautiful and healthy, and her slender white fingers clamped a thin piece of iron.

Tia looked at Zhou Li, her red lips slightly parted, her beautiful face full of surprise, “How do you know I’m here?”

This place is Tia A piece of pure land in her heart is also the thoughts left to her by her mother. Apart from himself, no one knows that he has such a melting pot, not even his father Herlinin. But for some reason, Tia looked at the young man standing in front of her with a smile, but an absurd idea rose in her heart.

“We, did we know each other before?”

Ghost God’s messenger, Tia blurted out such a sentence. As soon as she asked, she felt something was wrong. But she is not always the youngest daughter of those girls, she just looked at the teenager in front of her with doubts and confusion on her face.

“Maybe know.”

Zhou Li looked at the furnishings in the furnace, an iron-smelting blast furnace, an exquisite forging table, and neatly arranged object. It was no different from the hut he remembered. The only difference is that there is no aromatherapy from Elma, and the spirits that he hides on the roof.

“Are you…what’s the matter?”

Tia put the iron piece aside in a panic. At this time, she was not wearing the armor of the Imperial Princess. Instead, he was wearing shorts and trousers like a blacksmith. Although she doesn’t have a good relationship with her etiquette teacher, she also knows that this is not what a Princess should look like when facing foreign guests. even more how I’m still sweaty and very unseemly.

“Don’t worry, I’m not here to persuade you.”

Zhou Li withdrew his gaze, he looked towards Tiya, lightly said with a smile: “You like to strike iron?”

Tia quickly packed up and calmed down. She nodded and said calmly: “Yes, my hobby is actually blacksmithing.”

At the end, she seemed to remember something, and she did not forget to add, “Of course, now only you know me My hobby.”

“It’s good, it’s more or less a craft. Unlike Magnum III, who can’t do anything but slump on a chair with that stinky face all day long. The next time I asked him to help me build a magic energy impact drill, he will not waste my feelings.”

hearing this, Tia Yan smiled, “I can’t create what you said.”

“Of course, neither would I.”

Zhou Li spread his hands and said calmly: “I know nothing but hammers, hundred refinements to hammer this thing. I don’t understand either.”

“But knowing thousand hammers, hundred refinements is enough.”

Tia shook her head, said with a smile: “Many people don’t know iron It has to be tempered repeatedly. Lorca also said that iron is a puddle of water that solidifies and becomes solid, and I was so angry that I didn’t speak to him for a long time.”

“Yes, I was the same at first. I thought so. But a friend of mine later told me that iron needs thousands of hammers, hundred refinements to become steel, and steel needs thousands of hammers, hundred refinements to make weapons and armor. The same is true for blacksmiths, only by swinging thousands of heavy hammers, Only then can the skill be sublimated.”

Hearing this sentence, Tia’s eyes suddenly burst into brilliance, she looked towards Zhou Li, and asked excitedly: “Who is this friend of yours? Can I meet her?”

This is you ten years from now.

Zhou Li looked at the excited girl in front of him, laughed secretly in his heart, and said calmly on the surface, “I’m not very comfortable to reveal her name, if there is a chance in the future, I can introduce her to you. .”

“Okay, thank you.”

Tia leaned down slightly to show her gratitude, she followed Zhou Li’s line of sight to look around the furnishings in the furnace, and her eyes appeared A look of memory. For some reason, from the first meeting, Zhou Li felt very cordial to her. Just like the two fought side by side, they have an inexplicable connection to each other. Coupled with Zhou Li’s hero status, Tia, who has been tense all the time, also relaxed a little.

She took a towel to wipe her sweat, then hung it aside. Zhou Li was staring at the piece of iron curiously. After hearing the sound, he turned his head to Tiya and asked:

“What is this doing?”

“ In fact, I didn’t do anything.”

Tia stepped forward, twisted the iron piece, and said softly: “I just enjoy the feeling of tempering this iron, I don’t have to think about anything, I don’t have to think about anything. Just swing the hammer, hit it down, swing it up, hit it down. Soon, the iron will become sharp and hard.”

Away from the iron plate, Zhou Li stared at Tia, knowingly asking Said: “Is this what your father taught you?”

“No, it’s my mother. This furnace is also a birthday gift she bought for me.”

Ti Ya grinned, looked at the iron piece in her hand, and said with emotion, “Do you think my mother is a blacksmith?”

“Isn’t it?”

Zhou Li asked with a little doubt on his face: “smithing… shouldn’t it be a blacksmith to teach you?”

“My mother is a doctor, a beautiful lady, who can’t even lift a wrought hammer. “

Turning the hammer weighing dozens of pounds in her hand, Tia smiled and said to Zhou Li, “She doesn’t know how to strike iron at all, and she’s also afraid of heat, so she doesn’t like places like the blacksmith shop at all.”

“But why…”

Zhou Li pointed to the room with just the right amount of puzzlement, and the meaning was self-evident.

“My mother is a lady, but she never wanted her daughter to be a lady.”

Putting the hammer aside, Tia knocked Knocking on the furnace in front of me, the sound is no longer as vibrant as it used to be, but with a faint softness.

“I have a lot of strength since I was a child, and I like to fight injustice. Loka was very thin and weak at the time, and was always bullied, and he didn’t dare to tell the teacher and his parents. After I found out, I took him by myself.

The boys in the class taught me a lesson, and were caught by the teacher and sent to the office. At that time, the father was busy and didn’t go home very often, so only the mother came to pick me up.”

“At that time, I thought that the mother would be fiercely She scolded me for a meal. After all, I was a girl who came to the senior year to fight, and the one who was covered in dirt was not a lady at all. But what I didn’t expect was that my mother didn’t scold me after taking me home Me, she just taught me not to use violence to solve problems easily, and then praised me for helping Loka get justice.”

“She doesn’t think that girls don’t participate in the clerical jobs, don’t learn makeup, don’t go It is wrong to find a good family to marry. She said that the most important thing a person should do in life is to make a choice that is deep in one’s heart. She said that since you want to uphold justice, then do it and work hard to become a man of justice.”

“After getting my answer, mother enrolled me in military school. After six years of hard training, I also got a career as a sword dancer. When I was eighteen, my mother bought this furnace with most of her savings. She knew I liked to strike iron, even if it made me sweat and I had no image or any kind of elegance, but she still Support me.”

“Mother told me that all labor in this world is no distinction between high and low.”

“People should be the same.”
