Gonzalez took Link to the blacksmith shop in the town with familiarity. The owner was an uncle of his age and had a beard. Gonzalez walked up to him and said a few words. The owner actually agreed to lend him the blacksmith shop.

"This is the treatment only a master-level blacksmith can get." Gonzalez waved to Link, "Come on, I'll teach you how to identify ores."

It’s okay to have talent skills, why do you have to learn this?

"It's no harm to learn more. I'm an authentic dwarf armor. Most people just want to learn it but have no chance." Gonzalez saw Link's reluctance at a glance. He picked up a piece of unsmelted native ore from the forge. It was black in color and looked like coal at first glance.

"This is the most widely used type of Edgar. Iron ore is similar to the Earth's. It is easy to distinguish, and gold and silver are the same, but some ores do not exist on the Earth." Gonzalez took out a strip of two fingers long and three fingers wide from the small bag tied on his belt, which was silver and brilliant.

"This is the Misilian mentioned in fantasy novels. Just one small piece is worth 10,000 gold."

"What?" Link exclaimed. As a fan of fantasy novels, he certainly knew how precious Mitsunian was in the fantasy background, but a small piece of metal worth 10,000 gold was still far beyond his acceptance. You should know that the 30 silver coins given by Birdman Hull were enough for ordinary people to pay for several months of living expenses.

"That's just an entry-level rare metal." Gonzalez took out another silver-blue ore ingot, which was only half the size of Mithril.

With the precedent of Mithril, Link guessed that it must be pure gold.

"Yes, this is indeed pure gold, and the price is slightly more expensive than Mithril." The ore that Gonzalez took out for the third time was the smallest, the size of an egg, as transparent as crystal, flashing with a shimmering light as fine as diamonds. It is more precious than Mithril and pure gold, and Link can't guess what it is.

"This is Edgar's unique crystal ore, soul energy, and legend is transformed by the body of the fallen god. In addition to having a strong elemental affinity, the most precious thing is that it can change its shape as you wish. This is also a necessary material for making treasures except for the Destiny Demon Spirit."

Gonzalez carefully held something called "soul energy". From his posture, Link judged that the egg-sized thing was basically of no weight. The wreckage of the fallen god was not as rare as the demon spirit of fate. Is Edgar a world where gods are everywhere...

"Are there only three kinds of rare ore?"

"Of course it's more than that."

After Gonzalez carefully put his soul back, he took out more than ten raw stones of different shapes from the seemingly small but amazingly large cloth bag. Link found that the colors or appearances of these ores vary greatly, but one thing is common, that is, they glow and slight fluorescence covers the body surface. It looks a bit like the fine light emitted by inheritance and the pillar of the earth.

"In Edgar, ore is called the gift of the earth, and is a few natural substances allowed to be mined in large quantities. Since you are the son of nature, you should be able to see the differences between these ordinary people's eyes only of different colors, right?"

Link nodded hesitantly, and every stone glowed. Even if it was blocked by cloth or objects, a faint fluorescence would still penetrate.

"Remember to bring a pickaxe on your body, maybe you can dig up your soul energy." After taking back all the ores, Gonzalez picked up the iron ingot that was originally displayed to Link and asked Link to create a weapon himself.

"Didn't you say you'd help me build it?"

"I only do the final touch. Master-level products are not suitable for novices and will only bring you danger."

Gonzalez pushed Link to the furnace and stuffed the heavy forging hammer into his hand.

I was wrong. This guy likes to force others to do things as hard as Su Wu.

Under the guidance of Gonzalez, Link threw the iron block into the furnace, pulled the bellows and burned the iron blocks red, then took out the iron tongs and put them on the iron felt forged. First beat the square iron into a round rod shape, and then stretched and widened a little bit.

From day to night, he used up all eight spell positions to replenish his energy. It was not until the morning of the next day that Link had forged the iron block into the shape of a sword. He stayed in the blacksmith shop, and he felt that he was almost scorched by the temperature of the furnace.

"For the first time, it's pretty good." Gonzalez picked up the object that was so rough that it could only be called iron sheets and weighed it. Link was about to complain, but he saw that the semi-finished product had not been polished and changed its shape under the invisible external force. The blood groove, blade, and sword hilt appeared one by one. In a moment, this long sword prototype that Link spent a whole day forged turned into a real weapon.

"I always thought that the blacksmith had to forge it with a hammer." Link narrowed his eyes. Although he couldn't see it, his perception could feel the vibration of the air.

"This is a technique that a master blacksmith can master. The soul forging hammer is the same as the mage casting spells and the clergy induction power." Gonzalez handed the finished product to Link, which is what he called "final modification". As a novice, Link certainly could not master the forging technology in a short time. Gonzalez spent a whole day to make him forging only one purpose.

"Although the later modification was done by me, this sword was made bit by bit by bit by bit. How does it feel? What I made by myself is very fulfilling, right?"

Link held the sword in both hands and slashed a few times. Undeniable, it felt really good.

"Edgar's freedom is beyond your imagination. Don't be eager for quick success and instant benefits. Seize this rare opportunity to experience the world well. Don't look at it from the perspective of a game. Treat it as a real space. You will have another experience." Unlike Su Wu, who is eager to find his brother, Gonzalez has always enjoyed everything he experienced in the fantasy with an experiential attitude. He also advised Su Wu in this way, but it was not effective. I heard that Link's profession was to write fantasy novels (heavy fog), and I thought Link should be able to understand his views more.

"It's right, but I want to save people. My future brother-in-law's life and death are uncertain. I can't learn to forge here leisurely." As soon as Link finished speaking, the owner of the blacksmith shop pushed the door open and agreed to borrow for a day. The time was up.

"I'm not trying to stop you from saving people, I just hope you can have more ways to protect yourself." Gonzalez originally wanted Link to learn swordsmanship again. In the game, it was only an hour in reality. "Newbie has the system of danger avoidance protection, and the one you want to save has no protection. If you don't handle it well, it will bring him danger. Besides, the hills are so big that you can conduct a carpet search alone..."

"No." Link interrupted Gonzalez, "I already know roughly where he is."

Shen Qi clearly indicated the direction. Since the high level would put Yuan Ye in a greater crisis, it would be more appropriate for him, who was still a novice to take action.

"Okay, three days, if you don't come back after this time, then I can only risk saving you." Gonzalez stretched out three fingers.

He spent 1 silver coin to buy leather scabbard from the blacksmith shop owner. Link headed to the hills north of the town facing the rising sun. This time he was not investigated by the soldiers on guard, but Captain Scarface's eyes were nailed to Link until he was out of his sphere of influence.

Walking north along the dry riverbed, it is inconvenient to walk smooth pebbles washed by the river. For about an hour, the rolling hills suddenly seemed to be cut by a knife, revealing the bare rock wall. A man-made cave entrance is located at the foot of the mountain. The huge rock used to blockade has been pulled out, revealing the black passage, which seems to be an abandoned mine cave.

The name of the God Qi on the eve of the night was here. Just as Link was about to light a torch and go in to find out, a loud "bang" suddenly came from the mine, and then a messy footsteps were heard, and someone came out!

Link hid nearby in a waist-deep bush. Soon, a few ragged people ran out of the mine, looking in a panic as if there were beasts chasing behind him.

Seeing them running away without looking back, Link thought, was it because of the improper use of explosives to blow up the mine? Is there a setting for explosives in this game?

Through the narrow hole blocked by a huge rock, it suddenly became clear inside. Judging from the current wreckage, there was a certain scale of mining. The oil lamps used for lighting at the entrance were all on, and a few wooden barrels were placed against the wall. There was no smell of alcohol, probably water. A few dirty blankets were spread on the dry ground, and the iron pot that was turned over in the middle extinguished the bonfire. The broth that overturned out of it extinguished the bonfire, and the air was filled with fire smoke and a pungent burnt smell. Just next to the iron pot, a man was lying face down on the ground, holding a long-handled iron spoon in his hand, and his head and upper body were burnt black.

Link took a step forward, and the torch fixed on the rock wall fell to the ground. The mine immediately became invisible. A slight vibration came from the air, and something flew towards him!

Link raised his long sword and waved it a few times in the direction he sensed, with a few crisp sounds, knocking down several objects with little weight.

With the faint light at the entrance, you can barely see the distance between three and five meters around. In this case, perception is more useful than eyes. Link quickly found the enemy hidden in the dark, and hung upside down at the top of the cave, ten meters away from him. When he saw the black shadow hanging on the top, his left shoulder hurt. Link turned his head and saw a dark dagger piercing on his shoulder. In just a few seconds, his whole arm was numb and poisonous!

Without caring about whether the enemy would take this opportunity to attack, Link pulled out his dagger and silently reminiscent of the natural healing. The bright white light poured into the wound from his fingertips, and the festering stopped immediately.

The black shadow at the top of the cave turned over and fell to the ground, so light that it didn't make any sound. He stood up straight, bent his right arm on his left chest and bowed slightly, "Please forgive my unintentional offense, order with the guardian of the world."

Silver hair, red eyes, pale skin color as delicate and beautiful as an elves, humanoid creatures with dark leather armor and a delicate crossbow in their left hand.

After being recognized, he actually knew that I was the son of nature?
