"Although I didn't see Master Rôme today, I believe I'm not far from meeting him. Seeing how sincere I am, I believe Master Rôme will make a divine weapon for me sooner or later." Hadeng tilted his head back and took a big gulp of wine with a smug look on his face.
"That's what you said last month, too." An orc at the side pursed his lips. He had also gone to line up today, so he naturally knew what was going on. Even if all the people in front of him had their turn, it would still be Hadeng's turn.
Hadeng glanced at that orc, and was sure he was an opponent he couldn't beat. He couldn't be bothered to argue with him, and instead smiled. "However, there's a chef today. I heard he came from Chaos City, and said he was looking for Master Rôme to make a cleaver for him. Don't you think it's funny?"
"Looking for Master Rôme to make a cleaver for him? Is there something wrong with that fellow's brain? "
"Yeah. Who is Master Rôme? He's the number one blacksmith on the Norland Continent. Someone actually wants him to make a cleaver for him?"
"Speaking of which, wasn't that fellow hammered to death by Master Rôme on the spot?"
There was an uproar in the tavern.
The dwarves in Issen Castle were born blacksmiths. Even a 10-year-old child could make a cleaver for him. Someone actually looked for the legendary blacksmith, Master Rôme, to make a cleaver for him. Wasn't he deliberately looking for trouble?
Hadeng shook his head with a smile, and said, "After Master Rôme made it clear that he wouldn't be taking orders today, we all left. However, that fellow wasn't very tactful. He still refused to leave. I don't know what happened after that. However, that fellow is obviously stubborn. Perhaps he'll still go tomorrow. We'll know when we see him tomorrow. "
"Then we have to go tomorrow. I want to see who has the guts to come to Issen Castle and ruin Master Rôme's reputation."
"Yes, we have to go and see."
There was a wave of agreement in the tavern. To the young dwarven blacksmiths, Master Rôme was their idol. How could they allow someone to insult him like this?
…
Meg, who had just checked into the best room in Tam Hotel, was tidying up the room. He did not know that a group of people was preparing to laugh at him and beat him up.
Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
Right now, there was nothing more important than letting Amy have a good night's sleep.
The Tam Inn was not a high-end inn, and the low-priced rooms were damp and dirty. Therefore, Meg spent an extra 100 copper coins to get the best room in the inn.
His room was on the second floor, far away from the tavern, so he didn't have to endure the drunkards' howling in the middle of the night.
The decoration of the room was very simple. There was a stone bed, two mattresses, a small stone table, and two stone stools. There was nothing else in the room.
Compared to the rooms on the first floor, the biggest difference was that the ventilation was not bad and the room was much cleaner.
Meg tidied up all the blankets on the bed and threw them on the chair in the corner. Then, he bought two comfortable down blankets from the system. Only then did he carry the sleepy Amy to the bed and cover her with the blankets.
Ugly Duckling snuggled into the blankets and nestled comfortably in Amy's arms. It also closed its eyes and fell asleep immediately.
…
The next morning, Joey and Joss came to the forge early in the morning. However, they were surprised to find that the forge's door was open.
"Could it be that Master Rôme was drunk again yesterday?" Joey said uneasily. Master Rôme was drunk a few days ago and fell asleep at the forge's door. As a result, he was sick for a few days.
"Let's go and take a look." Joss also said nervously. Although Master Rôme often lost his temper with them, in their hearts, Master Rôme was still the person they admired the most.
The two of them walked quickly to the forge's door. They heard the sound of iron being hammered inside. The crisp sound had a wonderful rhythm.
"What's this?" Both of them were taken aback. In the past few months, they had rarely seen Master Rôme forge by himself. Most of the time, they had only seen him sitting in front of the furnace in a daze. Often, he would sit there for an entire day.
Furthermore, he would drink a lot of alcohol every night and wake up very late the next day. So, what was with the sound of iron being hammered in the forge now?
With doubts in their hearts, the two of them gently pushed open the forge's door and walked in. They saw Master Rôme standing in front of the forging table in thin clothes. He was wielding his black heavy hammer and hammering the fiery-red iron embryo on the forging table with sweat pouring down his face.
Master Rôme, who was more than 400 years old, still had a strong body that made young people feel ashamed of their inferiority. The black heavy hammer, which weighed at least 150 kilograms, was extremely light and agile in his hands. It spun and danced, and then smashed heavily on the iron embryo. The iron embryo, which was mixed with various precious metals, was deformed at a speed visible to the naked eye. It fused with each other and became a new alloy. Then, it gradually took shape under the heavy hammer.
Joss and Joey stood at the door and looked at Master Rôme in shock. The wonderful rhythm between him and the heavy hammer was like the harmony between man and nature.
This was the first time they had seen Master Rôme so immersed in forging after coming to the forge. This scene completely subverted their imaginations of forging.
At this moment, he was no longer the grumpy Master Rôme, but a truly world-renowned Master Rôme. With his amazing forging skills, he presented one amazing divine weapon after another.
"Ding!"
The heavy hammer hit the iron embryo. Master Rôme slowly put down the hammer in his hand. His chest rose and fell slightly. He grabbed a towel and wiped the sweat on his face. He looked up at Joey and Joss, who were standing at the door in shock. He smiled and said, "What, do you want to learn?"
"Yes." Joey and Joss nodded at the same time without thinking.
Rôme laughed and said, "If you want to learn, then you have to work hard. I never teach my skills to lazy people."
"Hmm?" Joey and Joss looked at the smile on Rôme's face and were stunned. Master Rôme always had a straight face. He had never smiled at them, nor had he ever mentioned teaching them forging. He only told them to forge by themselves every day, or to drive away the untactful customers at the door.
"You … You want to teach us how to forge weapons?" Joey was the first to react. He looked at Rôme in disbelief.
"Re … Really?" Joss was still stunned and couldn't believe it.
"Since I let you into the forge, I will naturally teach you something. As for how much you can learn, it depends on your own ability." Rôme picked up the heavy hammer again and said with a smile, "I just received a new order yesterday. Today, I will teach you how to forge a kitchen knife."
"Kitchen knife?"
Joey and Joss were stunned again.
"You mean the kitchen knife that chefs use to cook?" Joey asked cautiously. Yesterday, he had angered Master Rôme when he reported that the chef wanted to see him. Why did he decide to forge a kitchen knife today?
