With Mia as the entry point, Tisdale, who was playing the role of the middleman, suddenly became more active. Before this, she was worried that she would not know how to introduce herself, but now, that was no longer a problem. She sighed in her heart, "Master Hope is indeed a very easy person to get along with." She stood beside Undine and intimately held her jade-like arm as she introduced, "Master Hope, this is a very good friend of mine, Senior Undine. She used to be a student here as well …"
Erm... Senior Undine? Then Undine should not be that old... She should still be in the category of a young girl. But then again, what did she go through to become so mature? Baiyi thought to himself and could not help but look at Undine a few more times.
Undine also felt Baiyi's gaze. Quickly, she gently touched her chest with one hand and gently lifted the hem of her skirt with the other hand. Bowing slightly, she made a very standard greeting for a noble lady. Following Tisdale's words, she continued, "Nice to meet you, Master Hope! I'm Undine Dole, the second daughter of the Dole family. Your name has been spreading all over Arfin City these past few days so I've come to visit you today. "
As expected of a child from a merchant family. Her words are really good... But how many days has it been? Has my name spread that far? Baiyi was a little doubtful.
In fact, what he did not know was that the upper class of Arfin City had just held a banquet the night before yesterday. During the banquet, some of the elderly rich people inevitably talked about their children. One of them mentioned that his son had given a piece of Eternal Ice Crystal to a certain Master Blacksmith. While showing off his wealth, he also praised his son for his ability. Because of that, the topic spread like wildfire. Even Undine who did not attend the banquet knew about it.
Then, she found Tisdale, who was familiar with her, to be the middleman and hurriedly arranged the meeting. It could not be helped. It had been a long time since the last time they were defeated. If her Soul Armature's arm was not reattached, there was a risk that the remaining consciousness in the arm would dissipate.
In fact, the defeat of the two did not make Undine too depressed. After all, they did not use their full strength and did not kill each other. To be able to force Sven the Rogue Knight to use all kinds of magical means was a victory to a certain extent. However, the fact that he actually cut off the Soul Armature's arm was a bit of a headache.
The black gold armor was bought from the Manov family. The forging method was their family's secret. Normal blacksmiths had no idea how to deal with this tough metal that could absorb all kinds of energy. They had rarely seen such an expensive material, and some had never even heard of it. Undine had searched the entire city for blacksmiths but to no avail. She had no choice but to seek help from the Manov family.
At that time, Undine thought to herself, 'I've already spent so much money to buy it. If I go back and look for those perverts … I'd rather let that bastard touch my chest again than go back and look for those bastards from the Manov family!'
For that reason, Baiyi's sudden appearance was like a ray of hope to her. For that reason, she went to visit the Master Blacksmith named Hope with hope in her heart.
It was just that poor Undine would never have thought that it was the guy in front of her who caused her so much trouble. No matter how big her imagination was, there was no way she could connect this Master Hope, who was indifferent to fame and fortune, with that bastard who was shameless enough to join the Intermediate Level Arena just for the sake of money. She was still introducing her Soul Armature to Baiyi in a very formal manner.
"This is my uncle, Leo Dole. He used to be the most dazzling lion in our family. But because of an accident, he became a Soul Armature..." Following Undine's introduction, the black Soul Armature also saluted Baiyi in a serious manner. On the surface, he looked exactly like a qualified aristocrat.
It was very common to summon one's dead relatives as a Soul Armature. Baiyi did not find it strange at all. But, aren't these two guys a little too good at disguising themselves? They were so naughty before but now they have become obedient? Well, this is also the norm for aristocrats.
"A cute junior with two different attributes and tastes? Isn't this better? Ugh, it's such a pity that the important harvest last time was burned by some abominable guy who prides himself on being decent... "A grumble came from the Void.
Do you only remember those few pieces of rags? I'm standing right in front of you and you're still thinking about those rags?
"But little Undine is dressed too conservatively today! You won't be able to see anything if you dress like that! Ugh... If it were me, I would definitely ask for some extra compensation... "
The extra compensation you're talking about is the cloth that someone else is wearing, right? What a pity that I'm not a gentleman like you! Baiyi cursed in his heart. At the same time, he quickly turned his head away, feeling a little embarrassed to continue looking at Undine. He did not know if it was because he was being disturbed by these guys but he could not help but subconsciously imagine how Undine would look like when she was wearing those pieces of cloth.
In order to ease the awkwardness, Baiyi said in a natural manner, "Let's go in first." Taking the lead, he led the three of them into his small smithy. Placing the kitty coin bank that he had been hugging in his arms on the table, he stood beside the iron felt and turned around to look at the black Soul Armature, "Let me have a look at your hand..."
The black Soul Armature quickly handed over his intact hand.
Is this guy an idiot?
"Oh, I'm sorry... I'm still not used to it..." The black Soul Armature said as he quickly handed over the broken half of his arm.
Baiyi did not think too much about it. Immediately, he summoned a surge of Mana and grabbed the broken arm. This kind of technique, also known as the Magician's Hand, was a common way for sorcerers to grab objects. When Undine saw it, she quickly said awkwardly, "Master Hope, this is... Eh?"
Still, the severed arm was firmly caught in Baiyi's hand. It looked no different from grabbing an ordinary object.
At once, Undine's beautiful eyes shone with excitement. This Master Hope really lives up to his reputation. With just a single move, he has already displayed the demeanor of a master. Looks like my previous worries were all for naught.
One had to know that the black gold could absorb Mana and sorcerers would not use too much Mana when they used the Magician's Hand to grab things. In the end, that little bit of Mana would be absorbed by the black gold and the arm would fall to the ground awkwardly. However, it was obvious that Master Hope had already noticed that and deliberately used some kind of ingenious method. Looks like this Master Hope who looks a little shabby and awkwardly dressed is really not as simple as he looks! As Undine thought about it, her eyes unconsciously revealed a look of anticipation like that of a little girl.
Hmm? This guy suddenly seems to have become cuter again? Why are you looking at me like that? Didn't I just use my Mana to grab the black gold? It's not a big deal, right? As long as the method is correct, I can even grab the anti-magic gold that is completely immune to Mana right? Baiyi thought to himself as he carefully examined the broken arm in his hand. Then, he said, "It's really made of black gold? I always thought that this material that is most suitable for forging armors would never be able to make a full set of armor. "
"Master Hope, you might not know this but just a few years ago, the Manov family found a rich black gold vein in a small realm. Because of that, there has been a lot of black gold in the market recently. It's no longer the same as before when you couldn't buy it even if you had the money!" Undine quickly explained. At the same time, she thought bitterly in her heart, If it wasn't for that group of vulgar nouveau riche who found such a huge treasure, I wouldn't have been forced to go on the dangerous Northern Continent Pioneering Expedition and I wouldn't have been molested by that scoundrel and even had my underwear stolen from me …
For some unknown reason, Undine's mind could not help but wander towards that scoundrel who was covered in a cloak. It caused her delicate face to be dyed with an intoxicating blush, making her look like a delicate red apple, tempting anyone to go up and kiss her …
Baiyi looked at Undine who had suddenly revealed her charming posture and could not help but think, Is there something wrong with this girl's brain? Why did she change her expression all of a sudden?
Well, girls, especially young girls who were meticulous in their thoughts, what's so strange about them? After all, they were not like those women in the Voidwalkers who were overly calm.
Baiyi, on the other hand, carefully examined the cut on the arm. The cut was smooth and neat like a mirror. Secretly, he gave himself a thumbs up for his exquisite skills. Then, in a strange tone, he said, "The black gold is such a strong metal but the cut is so smooth … Did you guys offend a Holy-level warrior?"
It was not that he was boasting. On the one hand, he wanted to deliberately say that Sven the Wandering Swordsman was a little stronger so that Undine would not dare to get to the bottom of it. On the other hand, it was the merchant who suggested him to say so.
"No, it's not like that!" Undine quickly defended herself. She understood what Baiyi was trying to say. If the enemy was too powerful, no one would be willing to get involved. So, she quickly explained, "That b * stard … Oh, I mean, that guy is just a little weird, that's all. He's definitely not a Holy-level powerhouse! Please believe me, Master Hope!" Undine quickly explained.
As she said that, a strange thought suddenly popped up in her mind. Is that scoundrel really that powerful? How could he be mistaken as a Holy-level warrior?
