Chapter 190: Time-staggered artisan exchanges
Just as the crusade and the monsters were fighting, three new visitors came to the city of Mulandana.
Among the three, the leader was wearing a set of heavy full-body armor. The heavy armor and even the mask were full of heavy feeling, making people wonder if he would sink into the ground as soon as he lifted his foot. The man and woman who followed behind were two elves. Their smooth long hair seemed to glow, and there was a magical light flowing in their emerald green eyes. Those who were familiar with the elves could recognize them at a glance. They were not just elves. , or a very rare high elves in the elves.
Before this world was filled with heroes due to future wars, the high elves were almost the most advanced intelligent races that walked in the world. As for giant dragons and cloud giants, they are generally not included in the ranks of "walking the world" because of their size, living habits, and activity areas.
Being able to make the two high elves act as followers, this heavily armored man immediately attracted the attention of Mulanda. Many thieves or spies appeared by their side intentionally or unintentionally, wanting to inquire about their intelligence.
It's a pity that they didn't get much valuable information. The people in heavy armor rarely spoke, and the high elves, a man and a woman, talked a lot, but from their conversations, they couldn't hear anything useful, even Julien couldn't hear a few complete sentences - because most of the time they were talking in Elvish, a language with a large vocabulary and complicated grammar, and the two of them spoke so quickly that they were professional spies. , and can only roughly judge their identities from a few fragmentary words.
Some experienced spies still managed to hear a little bit of information. For example, the man in the armor was called "Pret". Among the brothers and sisters, the elder brother was called "Brad" and the younger sister was called "Star" - fact For a long time, the spies thought they had heard it wrong, because the man with white beard and hair turned out to be the elder brother of the petite woman.
elder brother? Not grandpa?
I must be having a problem with my ears! Or heard it wrong! Or maybe my Elvish isn't at home...
Such questions repeatedly surfaced in the minds of the spies, and in the end they accepted this strange fact after repeated confirmation.
What's more, the one with white hair and beard turned out to be the little girl's brother, who are their parents?
Could it be that they share the same father and different mother, the old and shy father gave birth to a brother when he was young, and when he got old, he couldn't control his waistband and gave birth to a sister?
Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be very emotional...
If the traversers heard their thoughts, they would probably say: "Well, in "JOJO's Bizarre Adventure", Joseph Joestar's eldest daughter Lily Joestar and second son Touhou Jousuke are also aged Forty years old. There are old men who can’t control the waistband of their pants. It’s not surprising that the old tree has new branches. The youngest daughter of He Gambling King is almost eighty years younger than him…”
It is a pity that these words did not reach the ears of the transmigrators, so it is a pity that a joke was not born.
But these things are not important, for the trio who came from afar, these rumors and the like are meaningless at all. They have traveled thousands of miles, not to listen to nonsense.
They're here to find Armor Master Barney.
In order to avoid attracting attention, Changsun Wu and his party did not go straight to Barney's house as soon as they arrived in Mulanda, but first went around Mulanda's place, just like an ordinary tour of the mountains and waters. During this process, Changsun Wu showed his love for armor, and he came to various blacksmiths more than once to discuss with the craftsmen who made the armor.
His armor skills and vision are almost the best in the world in this era. Apart from perhaps one or two seniors among the dwarves who have their own strengths, ordinary craftsmen are only qualified to be his students—even this is not something that ordinary people can do. In Tarakhan, he brought many blacksmith apprentices, but less than one third of them could understand his explanation, and less than one tenth of those who could really understand his meaning.
Changsun Wu is very distressed about this, and has been looking for peers who can communicate with him on an equal footing and make progress with each other. But it's easier said than done to find someone who can communicate on an equal footing with the armor master who masters the forging technology of the two worlds!
After dawdling for two days, he found Barney.
"Me? I can only make leather goods, and leather armor is fine, but I can't do full-body armor like yours." After hearing Changsun Wu's request to "exchange", Barney said in confusion. , "The gap between leather armor and plate armor is quite large, and it is difficult for us to communicate."
"Who said I couldn't make leather armor?" Zhangsun Wu asked back.
Barney was taken aback and asked in surprise, "You still make leather armor?"
"Of course!" Zhangsun Wu nodded without saying the second half of the sentence.
(My leather armor technique was taught by you at the beginning!)
Of course, Barney, who had just started his transformation, would not refuse to exchange technology with others. As a result, both sides were surprised by this exchange.
Barney was naturally amazed at the high-end and comprehensive technology of Changsun Wu, but Changsun Wu was surprised at Barney's endless whimsy.
In Barney's view, this senior who always puts himself in heavy armor is really unfathomable. He has dabbled in various armor technologies, and has rich experience in the processing, manufacturing, repair and decoration of leather armor. Experience and profound insights, many words can wake up the dreamer in one sentence, and make him feel relieved.
For Changsun Wu, although the technology of this future leather armor master is still immature, he has unimaginable talents and talents. The constant burst of inspiration is like the famous Baotu Spring. The ground gushed out, and every time it made oneself shine, many valuable ideas were generated.
Seeing them chatting hotly, Jian Shisan, who was acting as a bodyguard next to him, said to his sister Xingzhao in private chat: "Do you think that the images of the two of them are a little wrong?"
"Wrong? Where?"
"Generally speaking, the traversers play the role of 'the younger generation who is full of talent and inspiration although the technical level is not enough for the time being'. But the opposite is true between them. 's senior, NPC Barney is a genius junior..."
"That's because we have traveled to many years ago. If we wait a few decades, the old Barney will be more powerful than the eldest grandson Wu."
"Yeah, time is really amazing. Looking at Barney, who would have thought that this talented young man full of whimsy would turn out to be one of the masters of that formidable senior master?"
"Time is incredible!"
Their small talk did not affect the communication between Changsun Wu and Barney. After talking for almost an afternoon, the two of them were still unfinished and agreed to talk tomorrow.
When the three of them walked out of Barney's tent, Jian Shisan asked, "How is it? Are you sure you can kidnap him away?"
Changsun Wu smiled slightly and said confidently, "Today, we are only 30% sure, but as long as we talk for a few more days, even if I don't invite him, he will take the initiative to follow us!"
"why?"
"Because he pursues progress," said Changsun Wu. "For a craftsman who pursues progress, in order to improve his skills and level, it is not a matter of course for him to leave his hometown to study!"
