Chapter 142: Strange blacksmith

The market in Rongcheng is not far from the apartment they rented. On both sides of the street, there are vendors in robes. Most of them sell the leather bones of some mutant beasts, and some special metal materials are suitable for inlays. Add special effects to weapons.
Going deeper, there will be some shops open. Here are some non-essential goods for life, such as some tobacco and alcohol that survived before the end of the world. Ordinary people who are generally troubled by their livelihoods will not come here. Yes, the ones who buy are evolutionary people with condensate in their pockets.
Yin Yiliu and Jin Yang walked around the market in this small base at this time, feeling the long-lost hustle and bustle.
At the market there were also selling men and women who took advantage of the evening to attract a wave of customers. A pair of eyes passed over both of them, and they scanned the armor costumes and appearances they wore without disguising, as if they were weighing them. How many concretions are in your pocket.
Obviously, Yin Yiliu and Jin Yang, who weren't poor ghosts, immediately caught the attention of these people. They looked like they had spotted their prey, but they saw that the atmosphere between them was obviously different from ordinary people. He suddenly looked away disappointed.
This is obviously a "couple" of evolved people, and they seem to have a pretty good relationship.
Yin Yiliu's face is glamorous, and his figure is tall and slender, and his muscles are smooth and graceful. Although Jin Yang only shows a pair of eyebrows, he is tall and full of cold energy. When either of them is alone, they will be pounced on by these men and women who are soliciting guests.
After watching for a long time, the men and women who were eager in their hearts still did not go forward, looking for the next prey in the crowd with a little disappointment.
When he walked into the market, Yin Yiliu's eyes fell on a small shop. From the outside, the glass window that was broken in half and covered with wood could see the inside of the shop.
There is a huge bone hanging on the wall facing the street. The head is long and sharp like a sword. The skull is very long with the neck. It does not seem to be the bones of common beasts. After the long snout Connect a short string of spine.
Just a skull occupies almost the length of a wall, one can imagine how huge this mutant beast's true body is.
However, what attracts Yin Yiliu more is the two armors displayed next to the skull. One is pure dark silver, forged from some material. The metal and leather at the joint are shining brightly by the light through the glass; The other one needs to be relatively public. The crimson carapace skin is forged from the bones of mutant beasts, and the top helmet has red tassels erected.
After the Wasteland Era, the leather and bones of mutant beasts have been developed for various purposes. The more advanced mutant beasts as the material of armor and weapons, the higher the price.
The armor on Yin Yiliu followed her when she was in the Tibetan area. It was forged by a local veteran craftsman. The material was made of the strongest bone of a fifth-level mutant beast.
At that time, her evolutionary ability was not as good as it is now, and it was already very difficult to be able to hunt fifth-level mutant beasts. Later, she wandered for more than a year one after another, and the armor on her body gradually lost its effect in the tempering.
Just like the last time Jin Yang played against a level 7 darkener, the darkener kicked her in the abdomen, causing a surge of blood in her stomach. After she was able to stabilize her, her abdomen was still bursting. Dull pain.
The bones of the fifth-level mutant beasts could hardly resist higher-level attacks, and the soft armor gradually changed from bright and smooth to a few cracks. It was time to change to a new outfit.
In addition, Jin Yang has never used any defensive equipment since the beginning of the end of the world. When he saw him again in Liuzhou that day, the thin shirt in his cloak had long been torn open, and the weapons of those who fell were easy. Can hurt him.
Yin Yiliu guessed that Jin Yang would also get a set of equipment for Jin Yang. Although his evolutionary ability is already at the top of humanity, there are few mutant creatures that can harm him, but Yin Yiliu just can’t understand that he doesn’t treat himself. The way the body is serious.
She turned her head and glanced at the people around her: "Let's go in and take a look."
Jin Yang responded and followed Yin Yiliu's door and walked into the shop.
The shop is a small storefront. Apart from the glass, two sets of armor can be seen. There are two other sets placed in the corners, obviously not in the center.
Except for the most conspicuous four pairs of armors, the others are all weapons forged with partial bones, as well as knee pads covering the face, etc. From the distinctive design, it can be seen that these are forged by real skilled craftsmen. appliance.
Seeing the two pushing the door in, an old man sitting in the shop suddenly raised his head. He was holding an old smoking gun in his mouth. At this time, his face was full of clouds and mist, and he immediately smelled it when he entered. The stock has a choking smell of low-quality tobacco.
He looked over half a hundred years old, with gray hair, wrinkles on his face and a long scar that made his entire face look like dehydrated skin, and his pale eyes stared at the two in front of him vigilantly. Young people.
After a long pause, he asked dumbly; "What are you doing here?"
Yin Yiliu did not feel uncomfortable because of the old man’s aggressive gaze. She looked as usual and looked around and said:
We want to buy something, and look outside at your defensive equipment. Can't make an armor that suits us?"
The old man fixedly looked at the beautiful woman and the cold-blooded man in front of him. He didn't know if what they said was true or false, but after having suffered several losses, he no longer believes it alone.
What's more, the dog thief in Rongcheng clearly ordered to target their young and old. How could it be possible that someone came to his shop without fear of the lord's order at this time?
The old man took a deep breath, his drooping eyelids covering his muddy eyes, his tone became more indifferent, and also extremely unfriendly, "I'm afraid our shop cannot provide this kind of service. You should find another home."
Yin Yiliu heard the impatience and vigilance in the old man's tone, and for a while, he was a little puzzled. It was the first time they had seen this old man, why his hostility was so great.
Jin Yang was also slightly frowned by the old man's attitude. He shook Yin Yiliu's wrist and said in a low voice; "In this case, let's change the house."
At this moment, a small hand suddenly opened a corner of a door that had been covered with a thick curtain. It turned out that there was a cave behind the shop on the bright surface. The owner of the small hand opened the curtain to reveal With a timid little face, round eyes looked at Yin Yiliu and Jin Yang, and then looked at the old man sitting on the stool with aggrieved feelings.
"Grandpa, I'm so hungry..."
The little girl made her voice sweet and glutinous, and only then did Yin Yiliu realize that this thin little guy was not a little boy, but a little girl, but her exposed head was repairing a very short and messy hair. Like a tomboy.
The old man stood up and looked at Yin Yiliu vigilantly, then put the smoking gun in his hand on the table, walked quickly to the door, and pressed the little girl's head with his big cracked hands. Push in.
"Don't come out and go in!"
The little girl hadn’t eaten for half a day, and the last cookie was eaten at noon. At this time, she was really hungry. When she heard the voice of a sweet sister talking to grandpa outside, she couldn’t help being hungry. , I forgot all the warnings about not going out and not showing up.
At this time, the grandfather who had been loving him in all his ways suddenly became so angry, the little girl was hungry, but now she was startled and scared, she started crying, her dirty hands kept wiping tears.
"I'm hungry! I'm so hungry!"
Yin Yiliu was a little embarrassed when she stood outside. She and Jin Yang looked at each other, and neither of them spoke. She wanted to leave this small shop in silence. After all, the boss was not welcome, but she couldn't bear to hear the child crying and crying hungry.
She took out a piece of bread from the space, pretended to take it out from under her cloak, and approached the two grandparents who were still in stalemate and said: "Since the child is hungry, give her something to eat..."
As she walked closer, she saw the little girl’s crying wrinkled face. On her head, there were two slightly curled horns protruding from the tousled hair, and most of her body was covered and her lower body could be seen clearly. The lower limbs of beasts.
The old man turned his head and saw Yin Yiliu approaching his granddaughter, suddenly resembling an old lion awakened from a false sleep, his turbid eyes stared at Yin Yiliu viciously.
He slammed forward, slapped Yin Yiliu's hand with a slap, knocked the bread in her hand to the ground, "Go away! You don't need to be hypocritical here!"
Yin Yiliu was not fortified, and the back of her hand suddenly turned red when she was slapped vigorously. Jin Yang behind her suddenly became cold, and she was about to step forward but was pulled by her wrist.
She smiled at Jin Yang and shook her head, and then looked at the old man hiding in front of the curtain to protect the calf. His eyes looked like two criminals who abducted children.
She didn't say more, and walked out holding Jin Yang's wrist.
At this time, the sunset was almost over, and the last afterglow was scattered on the bustling street with all his strength. Yin Yiliu's hand hanging by the side was suddenly grasped by a warm big palm.
She looked to the side in a daze. Jin Yang had a cold face since he left the store, as if he had been bullied. He frowned and rubbed the blush on the back of his hand. .
But in fact it doesn’t hurt at all, and there’s nothing to be angry about. Everyone has their own scales. Just like she and Jin Yang care about each other, the little half-human and half-animal girl must be the same as the boss’s just now. .
Thinking of the girl's appearance, Yin Yiliu was a little puzzled. It stands to reason that half-humans and half-beasts are the signs of the fallen, and a crying little girl is obviously not a fallen.
She only thought for a moment, then shook her head and left her behind. The only regret was that the workmanship of the shop was really good. She also wondered if she could change her outfits and take care of Chitu by the way.
I don't know if I can find such a craftsman.
Because there is a river nearby, on the way back, Yin Yiliu saw an evolutionary man in the market. He was wearing armor and placed a basin the size of a bathtub on the side of the road.
When I walked closer, there were three huge swimming fishes inside, each of which was at least half a meter to one meter long, and the mutated piebald fish were also jagged around their mouths.
There was only one selling aquatic products along the way. Yin Yiliu wanted to taste the flavor of braised fish, and suddenly stopped by the shop owner’s pot.
The three-tailed fish in the tank were more or less injured when they were caught. One of them had two deep holes on the back, which seemed to be the wounds inserted by the harpoon when the evolutionary man caught it. The water in the tank was a little blushing.
The other two were slightly injured. They were alive and well at this time, and even chased after the injured one with serrated teeth to bite his companion's wound, stirring up the small tank in chaos.
Yin Yiliu stepped forward and asked the price, only to realize that a fish wanted a second-level congeal stone. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Boss, these three in your basin are all first-level mutant beasts. Isn’t this condensate a bit inappropriate?"
It is necessary to know that the exchange ratio of high-level conglomerate and low-level conglomerate is 1:10, and one second-level conglomerate is completely worth ten first-level conglomerates.
The stall was originally boring, but at this time, the guests finally came, so he looked at Yin Yiliu and Jin Yang and looked at the two people. He said: "The one who just came to Rongcheng, our most expensive thing is this Aquatic products, the dangers in the river outside are not a joke, but these three were lucky for our team. We happened to catch them. The river bank will be closed in a week, and you will not be able to buy them if you want to."
The stallholder explained and said that if Yin Yiliu felt a loss, he could ask about the price.
After some discussions, a big fish was put on a sturdy thread. The evolving man who set up the stall directly used the evolving ability, and slapped the slapped fish out of nowhere.
Jin Yang took the big fish, and Yin Yiliu also put a second-level stone in the hands of this evolutionary man.
She looked at the big fish that was almost half a man's length and licked her lips, her eyebrows curled and said, "We can make something delicious tonight."
There is a pub at the market, and every evening at this time, it starts to lively. People with some spare money in their pockets will sit in the bar with their arms around men and women, talking about the mountains and bragging with the neighbors they don’t know.
When passing by the entrance of the tavern, a middle-aged man with a little tattered shirt was kicked out from the inside, and he rolled twice on the ground, apparently he did not fall lightly.
He was not annoyed either. His face was blue and purple, still with a flattering smile, and the person in front of him nodded and bowed down to make a little boy, "Brother, you are good. ."
The man called the adult drank some wine and blushed from his neck to his face. At this time, he looked at the bug-like man on the ground contemptuously and patted his sleeve.
He is a superior evolutionary person. It is a joke that an ordinary person is still asking for the premise.
The man called the adult took out a first-class condensate from his arms and threw it in front of the middle-aged man's heel, like a beggar, and then he was about to walk into the tavern.
The middle-aged man suddenly became anxious. He was ecstatic after he got a high-level stone, and he was afraid of being stolen. He simply thought that the points exchange office at the base would be replaced with a first-level stone, enough for him to use. It's been a long time.
Who knew that it was clearly the points department set up above, but in the end there was no points and congeal feedback to his hands. He went to inquire and was kicked out again and again, and after inquiring about it, he knew that the points hall was on duty yesterday was the Lord’s Hall. Brother, I've been taking advantage of the lord's name all the time, but ordinary people like them have been bullied and taken advantage of them.
In the building where he lived, there was a young woman who was forced to have a relationship. Afterwards, she could only grit her teeth when she was bitten by a dog.
People who know him urge him to forget it, don't provoke the relatives and subordinates of those lords, after all, they still have to eat in Rongcheng.
But the middle-aged man was not reconciled. He finally got a little better, so he pointed to the high-level stone to change to a better place to live, and then think of a small business.
Seeing that the life that was about to improve, it was in vain, and he was not reconciled.
So he inquired about the places that Cheng brother often went to, and found him in the bar, who was a pleasure-seeking brother, and prayed that he would return his concretion stone to himself, even if he took half of it as a filial piety, he recognized it.
But he never expected that this person would even want to send himself away with a first-grade condensate.
The newly added wound on the man’s face still hurts fiercely. His cowering eyes have some cruel colors. His eyes are flushed and he looks at the brother who is about to go in. "Brother Cheng, you are trying to kill me. ."
Brother Cheng snorted and turned around and stretched out his head grinningly, "I just don't give you what can be done, you can grab it, you can sue it. I said this concretion is my thing, you are a stink Defiant/Sanna, what am I, don’t shame."
Brother Cheng's eyes rolled, and suddenly he said, "Or, if you tell me who gave you this condensate, I can consider giving you some information."
Although this straw bag has evolved abilities after the end of the world, Tian Tian feels that he is superior to human beings, and the current lord is even more domineering after he is on the top. The actual evolutionary ability is only two.
He didn't have much capital in his pocket, and he didn't dare to go out hunting. He couldn't go where many capable evolving people went, and he could only act as a boss against ordinary people in the base.
Like this third-level condensate that he got, he could spend a while for him. At this time, he hit the source of the condensed stone. The people behind this casually rewarded the third-level condensate. There must be more good things in his hands. Then he will use his cousin's name to frighten him, it is not a steady stream of concretions.
It's a pity that he has a good abacus, but the middle-aged man in front of him is quite spine.
Brother Cheng sneered, "Oh, I played with me, I still have to ask you to give me..."
As he said, his hands were working to evolve his abilities, and he was going to beat the middle-aged man. No matter how weak an evolving man was, he would be much stronger than an ordinary person, and he could beat the internal bleeding with a few punches.
There were secretly onlookers who knew the middle-aged man who was about to be beaten, but no one dared to speak, and they all curled their necks silently.
At this moment, a foot was suddenly kicked on the back of the grim-faced adult brother, and he kicked forward for several meters. His nose was rubbed on the ground and almost broke the bridge of his nose, and the turbulent blood flowed. When he came out, his back and face were painful and numb, and he howled like a pig.
"Who dare to kick me?!"
As soon as he turned his head, he saw a man standing not far away with a big fish on his shoulder, staring at him coldly with a pair of golden eyes with his face covered, and his heart suddenly tightened.
After seeing the middle-aged man, Yin Yiliu suddenly remembered that this was the one who took them into Rongcheng. Originally, the two of them didn't want to be nosy. They just passed by and listened to them. They didn't expect everything to happen. Caused by the condensate thrown by Jin Yang.
This man is pitiful, he met such a robber.
The two listened more and heard the arrogant straw bag asking them about their identities, and the middle-aged man also saw their figure in the crowd, but still held his head up and said nothing.
Before Yin Yiliu could react, Jin Yang kicked it up.
Brother Cheng's voice is obviously weaker, because he knows that this person in front of him must be a high-level evolutionary person, he can't provoke him, "You, why are you hitting me?!"
Jin Yang looked at the man in front of him coldly, "I gave him the stone in his hand."
Brother Cheng persuaded him a little more, but the eyes of the people around him watching the show fiercely hit his face, making him a little annoyed, his nose was still bleeding, and his voice yelled angrily: "Do you know who my brother is? my brother……"
Jin Yang was cold-eyed again, and suddenly Cheng didn't dare to speak.
In a sparsely populated alley, a middle-aged man in a torn jacket put his hands in his hands, and followed behind a pair of young men and women somewhat angrily. He was holding a lost and recovered pebble in his hand. He didn't dare to go forward and could only fall far away. In the back.
Suddenly, a man and a woman who were walking in front stopped, and the tall man turned his head, even if his cheeks were covered, he could see that his face was impatient.
The middle-aged man behind him also stopped immediately.
Jin Yang's eyebrows twitched slightly, a little irritable, "What are you doing with us, the things are not brought back."
The middle-aged man immediately waved his hand and shook his head, and smiled, "You have misunderstood. I want to thank you and say thank you."
Upon hearing this kind of thanks, Jin Yang subconsciously felt a little uncomfortable. He frowned and said, "I'm not helping you, it's just because of me."
Yin Yiliu on the side smiled, watching Jin Yang, who was full of rejections, thought this scene was really funny, but also felt sour.
Although Jin Thigh always wanted to show that he was very cruel and ruthless, but in many cases, he was really much gentler than some kind people.
It is this kind of silent gentleness that makes her feel that the man in front of her is cute and handsome.
One of them wanted to say but didn't know what to say, and the other was very impatient. She thought about it, but still said something.
"Since you feel thankful, why not tell us if there is a better armor shop in Rongcheng or surrounding town bases? We want to buy better armor."
Hearing where he could contribute, the middle-aged man's face suddenly brightened, and he walked a little ahead, carefully thinking about the armor shops in and around the base in Rongcheng.
An old man's face flashed in his mind for the first time. He shook his head and thought about it a lot, but all the other places were normal except for the shop that couldn't go to.
It's fine for the ordinary evolving people in these bases, but the two in front of them are obviously better forgers.
The middle-aged man said: "In fact, we have a famous blacksmith in Rongcheng, but the lord has explicitly forbidden anyone to do business with him. The other blacksmith shops are not good enough. There is one in the base next door that is okay. ..."
When Yin Yiliu heard him say this, he immediately understood who the blacksmith he was talking about was, "Is the one you talking about the innermost one on the bazaar street, an old man with a scar on half of his face, and a little girl. ."
The middle-aged man was surprised, "Have you been there?"
Yin Yiliu was a little curious, "What's wrong, why can't you go? Why doesn't the lord of Rongcheng allow others to do his business?"
The middle-aged man thought about it, looked at the empty alleys, and leaned closer and whispered, "You may not know that the son and daughter-in-law of the blacksmith was the last lord of the city. My lord, they are both kind and good-looking people. It's a pity that the current lord secretly calculated it. It is said that the congeal stone after the death of the former lord was also absorbed by him."
Yin Yiliu's eyelids twitched.
In fact, although it is now known that people or creatures with evolutionary ability will reveal condensate within two or three hours after death, and condensate can be used to absorb and enhance the ability of evolutionary people, but the condensate of evolutionary people is in most humans. It is inhumane to look at it as if you are eating away at your compatriots.
Even people who don't care will take it secretly, and won't say anything about it.
And everyone knows that the lord of Rongcheng is making trouble. I am afraid that he has never thought of covering up, but wants everyone to know that he not only killed the lord, but also absorbed his condensate.
The middle-aged man continued: "This forger has five levels of evolutionary ability. He is a first-class expert. He is an evolutionary man who rarely dared to hunt in the moat. Unfortunately, when he came back, only one subordinate desperately Hid the child, his son and daughter-in-law died. He did not avenge him, and his reputation was so great that the current lord could not move him."
Yin Yiliu said, "Because the current leader blocked this young and old?"
The middle-aged man shook his head and said with a sigh, "That can't be, our lord, our heart is dark and cruel."
"Maybe you don't know that the moat will be banned every six months, and the surrounding bases will close the city gates and sacrifice a child to the'river god' of the moat."
As soon as the middle-aged man's voice fell, Rao Yin Yiliu had many conjectures and couldn't help being surprised.
"You mean, the living child is going to fill the river?!"
