"I'm Meg, and this is my daughter, Amy. We came from Chaos City. The flying steed we took had some problems, and left us behind before we reached Issen Castle. Hence, we could only walk there," Meg replied with a smile. It was a half-truth.
Amy's reputation was out there now, and she might have acquaintances in Issen Castle. If he were to lie completely, it might attract suspicion and attention. Hence, he might as well be honest. After all, his purpose of coming here was to forge a good cleaver.
Godala glanced at Meg in surprise. Being able to take a flying steed from Chaos City to Issen Castle meant that this pair of father and daughter were not wanderers, but rather wealthy people. It was just that their luck was not very good. He smiled, and said, "I see. Then your luck is really bad. If you didn't meet me, you would have to walk for two to three hours in such cold weather. Why did you come all the way to Issen Castle? "
"I'm a chef. I'm here to find the best blacksmith to forge a suitable cleaver for me. I wonder if Mr. Godala knows who the best blacksmith in Issen Castle is? Where can I find him? "Meg asked.
"I've been traveling between Rodu and Issen Castle for over 30 years. I spend three months in Issen Castle every year. Of course, I know that place like the back of my hand." Godala looked confident, but then he looked at Meg strangely. "Although I've never been to Chaos City, I've heard from many of my peers that there are all kinds of races in Chaos City. It shouldn't be difficult to find a dwarf blacksmith to forge a cleaver for you, right? Why did you come all the way to Issen Castle? And you even want to find the best blacksmith? Isn't this too much? "
Meg looked at Godala who was looking at him as if he was an idiot, and calmly said, "The cleaver forged by the blacksmiths in Chaos City can't meet my requirements."
"Can't meet your requirements? Is there such a high requirement for a kitchen knife? "Godala was still confused. He tore open a drumstick and started eating.
He usually used a small knife that he had brought with him when he was hunting on the road. He had bought it from a roadside stall in Issen Castle for three copper coins. He had used it for more than ten years without any problems, unlike Meg who was so particular about it.
"Some ingredients can't be cut with a normal kitchen knife, so we can only come to Eisenburg to find the best blacksmith to make the best kitchen knife," Meg said.
"There's something that a kitchen knife can't cut open? Don't tell me you're a magical beast?! " Godala was slightly taken aback. Having been a merchant for so many years, he had seen plenty of magical beasts. However, because the caravans would usually have one or two knights accompanying them as guards, there had never been any mishaps when they encountered low-level magical beasts.
Magic Beasts did have some tough bones. Even the Death Knight's special longsword might not be able to cut them open.
"Yes." Meg nodded, and continued, "Mr. Godala, please tell me about the great blacksmiths in Issen Castle. My purpose for this trip is to bring back the best kitchen knife. It will take more time to ask when we reach Issen Castle later."
"Alright, then I'll tell you." Godala saw that Mag had already made up his mind, so he didn't probe further. "If we were to talk about the most famous blacksmith in Issen Castle, it would naturally be the legendary blacksmith — Master Rom.
Master Rom, who was already 400 years old, had forged countless world-renowned weapons, and left his name on the Norland Continent. Among them, the most famous one would be Lord Alex's' Tian Du 'sword.
300 years ago, Master Rôme forged the Tian Du sword for the ancestor of the Alex family. Later on, that ancestor guarded the northwest of the empire, and made great contributions, continuing the prosperous Alex family.
Many years later, the Alex family's castle was breached by the allied army of the demons and orcs. The family was annihilated, and almost no one survived.
300 years later, Lord Alex appeared with the Tian Du sword, and became the most powerful person in the Roth Empire's military. He was like a god descending from the heavens, and suppressed all the experts on the Norland Continent. He slayed dragons and demons, and was hailed as the number one knight. The Tian Du sword became famous again, and was hailed as the number one sword in the world. "
Meg was a little surprised that the master who forged the Tian Du sword was still alive. He looked at Godala, whose eyes lit up at the mention of Alex, and asked with a smile, "Does Mr. Godala like Alex a lot?"
"Of course! Is there anyone in the Roth Empire who doesn't like Lord Alex? He is the pride of our empire, and the first knight to be hailed as a dragon slayer. That was him. It was also from him that the people of the Roth Empire no longer feared giant dragons. " Godala looked at Meg with a matter-of-fact expression, and then shook his head disinterestedly. "Forget it. You won't understand even if I explain it to a chef like you. Anyway, the things that Lord Alex does are not something you can imagine."
"Alright. Then continue to talk about that Master Rôme." Meg held back his laughter, and nodded.
"Apart from the Tian Du sword, this Master Rôme has many other famous works. Those who can reserve a weapon from him are all the most powerful people in the various races. Ordinary people don't even have the right to queue," Godala lamented.
"In that case, this Master Rôme basically represents the highest standard of blacksmiths in Issen Castle, right?" Meg said thoughtfully.
"That's right. Go and ask around. Who dares to say that their standard is higher than Master Rôme?" Godala nodded. He looked at Meg, and advised, "You, don't even think about Master Rôme. You won't even be able to queue up. Moreover, I heard that Master Rôme's temper has been getting worse these few years. He has changed a few batches of workers in the shop, and customers who come without an appointment are all chased out by him directly. You'd better not go and get yourself into trouble. "
"I'm afraid I can only go and get myself into trouble if I want to forge the best cleaver." Meg smiled, and said, "I wonder if Mr. Godala can tell me the location of Master Rôme's workshop?"
"Sigh, I've already said that Master Rôme will never succeed. He makes peerless weapons, how can he forge a cleaver for you? If you go to him like this, you'll definitely be chased out by his disciples. If you want to find a powerful blacksmith, I can introduce you to a few good blacksmiths who are easy to talk to and powerful. Why do you have to ask for trouble? "Godala looked at Meg with a puzzled expression.
Meg could tell that Godala meant well, but he still shook his head with a smile, and said, "Since I'm already in Issen Castle, there's no reason not to try. I'll ask Mr. Godala to introduce me to other blacksmiths after I fail."
"Alright, we'll be passing by Master Rôme's workshop later. I'll drop you off there." Godala couldn't be bothered to persuade Meg further after seeing how stubborn he was. He'd naturally know if what he said was true after he suffered a little.
Godala and Meg talked about the rules and precautions of Issen Castle on the following journey. They had a pleasant conversation.
"Mr. Meg, that's Master Rôme's workshop." The carriage stopped at a street in Issen Castle. Godala looked at Meg and reminded him seriously, "I'm staying at the Tam Inn at the end of this street. If you have any difficulties, you can come and find me. Remember, don't anger Master Tam, or it'll be very troublesome. "
