Chapter 429 The Cyclops that produces steel

Chapter 429 The Cyclops that produces steel

The little blacksmith stood up and planned to look for any exposed ores in the nearby corners.

But as soon as he turned around, he bumped into Luo Mu and the Roentgen cat who were hiding outside the cave and looking inside.

"Kanu!?"

The little blacksmith's eyes widened instantly, and he cried out in fear, subconsciously raising the two hammers in his hands.

Let's not talk about Luo Mu.

In the eyes of the little blacksmith, humans are weak chickens who can be quieted by a hammer.

But the Roentgen cat is very unusual!

The moment he looked at it, the little blacksmith had a sense of crisis that he was being stared at by some powerful predator.

This sense of crisis made the little blacksmith's hair stand up, and a few beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead.

Nervous!

Fortunately, the little blacksmith did not throw away the hammer directly, clenched his hands, held the two hammers, and looked at the Roentgen cat with a two-hammer style as if facing a great enemy.

The survival experience in the wild taught by the elders in the tribe once told the little blacksmith that he must never turn his back to the Roentgen cat, and must use momentum and sound to overwhelm it!

Dang! Dang! Dang!

The rhythmic collision and knocking sound rang again. Looking at the two hammers that kept colliding and making sounds, the expressions of Luo Mu and the Roentgen cat were frozen for a moment.

No, who taught this little blacksmith the skills of using sound and momentum to drive away wild beasts?

Luo Mu suddenly became more interested in the little blacksmith.

Several questions emerged in his mind.

For example, where did the little blacksmith come from, is it a wild Pokémon or an owned Pokémon, who taught it these knowledge, etc.

But Luo Mu did not rashly approach the little blacksmith because of his curiosity. His vigilance was almost superficial, and he did not hide it at all.

After a brief thought and a glance at the little blacksmith, Luo Mu whispered to the Roentgen cat: "Let's stop here today. Come back tomorrow with some small gifts, and we can eliminate some of the vigilance of this little blacksmith."

"Meow?"

The Roentgen cat tilted its head in confusion, and its eyes fell on the full of mushrooms in the backpack carried by Luo Mu. Isn't this a ready-made small gift?

Noticing the look in Roentgen cat's eyes, Luo Mu shook his head, "The little blacksmith itself is a steel-attribute Pokémon, and most toxins have no effect on it. But whether there are poisonous mushrooms that have slipped through the net, as a gift for the first meeting, I think it still needs to leave a deep impression."

"Let's go."

With that, Luo Mu turned and left.

We have to try to get back before dark, otherwise we won't have picked all the mushrooms by midnight.

It takes a long time to stew this thing thoroughly.

Although he didn't understand Luo Mu's logic, the Roentgen cat still shook his head helplessly, turned his head to look at the little blacksmith, and followed Luo Mu down the mountain.

Forget it, let him go.

Not long after Luo Mu and the Roentgen cat left, the little blacksmith, who had been staring at the direction they left, finally breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Fortunately, they were scared away by the momentum of the little blacksmith mountain king, otherwise there would be a fierce battle tonight.

Thinking of this, the little blacksmith couldn't help but put his hands on his waist proudly.

Hehe, it's me who is worthy of it. I easily did what others can't do!

Holding two hammers, the little blacksmith who planned to keep the hammers with him tonight left the cave again and climbed to the top of the mountain.

When he arrived at the top of the mountain where the trees became sparse and the view became wider, looking at the orange sunset that was about to set, the little blacksmith who looked at the farm in the distance took a deep breath, his eyes full of determination.

Watching the steel armor crows that circled in the sky during the day slowly landed, the little blacksmith once again confirmed that the farm was the nest of these big guys.

Wait, I will conquer you after I conquer this mountain!

The story of the little blacksmith as a legendary forger has just begun!

When Luo Mu and Roentgen Cat returned to the farm, the sky had been invaded by the night.

Fortunately, the street lights on the farm were turned on on time as set. Walking on the bright stone road, Luo Mu exclaimed: "Technology really changes life."

"Meow."

Roentgen Cat nodded in agreement.

Although it was a bit regrettable that it could not use flash moves and became the light source that continued to illuminate Luo Mu's way forward, the convenience brought by these street lights was indeed very good.

Even if it was not there, the light would continue to illuminate the way home.

Luo Mu and Roentgen Cat had just taken a few steps when they ran into Zhihuixiong and Chongni Pulling Horse.

Thinking that this combination was really strange, Luo Mu asked curiously, "What did you do just now?"

Luo Mu's eyes fell on Zhi Huixing's hands. The fan that Zhi Huixing usually carried with him was nowhere to be seen. Zhi Huixing, who was very clean and even had some mysophobia, had hands full of wet mud.

Did Zhi Huixing roll in the mud pit with Chongni Wanma?

But Zhi Huixing was not dirty.

Fortunately, Zhi Huixing quickly solved Luo Mu's doubts.

With a wise light flashing in his eyes, Zhi Huixing explained to Luo Mu through telepathy, "Master, I plan to build a kiln."

"Kiln?"

Luo Mu recalled seriously, was it the kiln he was thinking of?

The thing used to burn ceramic crafts?

Zhi Huixing looked at Chongni Wanma and stretched out his hand to show Luo Mu the mud on his hands.

"The kiln is a device used to bake ceramic crafts. You see, the clay in my hands is made of heavy clay draft horses. This is high-quality clay for making ceramic materials."

When Zhihua orangutan said this, Luo Mu instantly understood what it was planning to do. He touched his chin and looked at the mud on Zhihua orangutan's hand, and suddenly realized, "Are you planning to make some handmade ceramics?"

He vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a skill among the long list of skills mastered by Zhihuang.

Luo Mu, who had always regarded Zhihua orangutan as an all-around butler, was too lazy to remember whether Zhihua orangutan had mastered this skill. He didn't care that Zhihua orangutan's hands were full of mud and grabbed its hand directly.

“Then build one!”

Luo Mu, who encouraged all Pokémon on the farm to develop their own hobbies, made a direct decision.

Not to mention that Zhi Hua Orang’s craftsmanship may bring unexpected surprises to everyone.

Zhi Huizang added: "Although the dishes, cups and dishes on the farm are all bought from outside, I want to make some by hand for everyone to use, and also make some beautiful decorations to add some decorations to the new home I build in the future. "

".If everyone doesn't dislike it, that would be better."

Stroking the dreadlocks of the heavy mud horse that was leaning towards him, Luo Mu said seriously: "We will look forward to your work. If you need anything, just ask it and I will solve it!"

Zhi Huali hid the flash of emotion in his eyes and showed a faint smile.

But before it had time to respond, Luo Mu quickly said: "But before that, wash your hands first. When we come to the dining table, let's separate the edible mushrooms from the poisonous mushrooms together!"

Noon the next day.

Looking at the mushroom soup that has been simmered in the big pot, it is exuding the ultimate umami flavor.

Luo Mu wiped away the tears from the corner of his mouth, took a deep breath, savored the aroma of the mushroom soup, and said softly: "This is the last pot!"

Luo Mu remembered that in his hometown before time travel, the stewed mushroom soup was delicious and rich, and the addition of thin slices of pork belly gave it a slight meaty flavor, making the taste even richer.

But as usual, there were Pokémon on the farm who didn't like meat very much, and there were Pokémon who didn't like meat. He still made two versions of the mushroom soup.

One is a light taste, relying only on the taste of the ingredients and a little seasoning to show the ultimate light and umami taste of mountain delicacies.

One is a pork belly and mushroom soup with rich and multi-layered taste, like a big stew in a big pot.

If he had to choose between two soups, Luo Mu would definitely choose the one with stronger flavor.

But before that, Luo Mu looked at the thermos bucket that was sitting quietly on the stage, and moved to help. The Cang Yan Blade Ghost wearing an apron warned, "Be careful of the flame bird and the big milk can!"

"His Luo!"

Cangyan Blade Ghost, who had already drank the soup in advance, nodded seriously and showed his firm determination to never leave the thermos bucket and to protect this bucket of soup among the foodies on the farm.

Patting the Blue Flame Blade Ghost's shoulder with trust and giving it a thumbs up, Luo Mu ran out of the kitchen and anxiously shouted to the chaotic scene outside: "Save some for me!"

3pm.

After calling the Monarch Snake, Luo Mu carried the thermos bucket and walked towards the hill.

While enjoying the sunshine that made the snake comfortable, the monarch snake meandered forward gracefully, protruding a vine from the leaves like a stand-up collar, and poked Luo Mu's waist.

"Jialu?"

Monarch snakes are curious.

Carrying such a thermos bucket was not going to a human town. Who was Luo Mu going to see?

"It can be regarded as a gift for visiting." Luo Mu smiled and explained for the monarch snake: "Although you were not here at the time, the Roentgen cats should have shared with you later, the rotten sword hanging in the living room. and the Decaying Shield thing.”

The tip of the monarch snake's tail swayed slightly, and the memory returned.

It seems to be related to the fact that the two handles, which look tattered, are actually artifacts that King Lei Guan once ordered craftsmen to forge.

In this case, it is either a matter of finding a suitable craftsman or a Pokémon that can provide the most suitable steel or metal.

"Jialu?"

The Monarch Snake asked Luo Mu again, so was it the young blacksmith or Melutan he found?

Luo Mu didn't show off and answered directly: "Melutan is indeed a bit rare. You can think of it like Victini, but today we are going to see the little blacksmith."

Hearing that the person he wanted to see was the young blacksmith, the Monarch Snake's tail flapped on the ground a few times in displeasure.

Did it remember clearly that Luo Mu had said before that Pokémon such as Little Blacksmith were all female? This was just the second time they met, so they prepared gifts and went up the mountain?

But the Monarch Snake did not have an attack after all. It was not just a matter of mind. The Monarch Snake understood that this matter was related to the safety of a region. It was not the kind of Pokémon that would act recklessly in the face of big rights and wrongs.

Not noticing the psychological fluctuations of Monarch Snake, Luo Mu recalled what happened not long ago.

He clearly remembered the two necessary conditions mentioned by King Lei Guan when he was talking to him about the recasting of the Corrupted Sword and the Corrupted Shield not long ago.

1. Craftsmen with excellent skills.

2. Sufficiently special metal or steel.

A skilled enough craftsman has been identified as a small blacksmith, but a sufficiently special metal or steel has no clue.

Luo Mu asked King Lei Guan, wouldn’t the steel-armored crow’s feathers also work?

Lei Guanwang's answer was not enough.

If you want to forge a weapon against the Dark Night, you must not be careless about the materials.

It was not until the Bud Crown recalled the memory of the time when it ordered people to forge swords and shields in the past that it gave the key words of the hint.

[Cyclops that can produce iron]

This key word hint is very critical, and Luo Mu quickly thought of the Pokémon that meets the requirements of the Bud Crown.

Melmetal, the evolution of the steel-attributed mythical Pokémon Meltan, does have the power to produce iron, and if he remembers correctly, the time node of Melmetal's awakening mentioned in the illustration is also very interesting.

"Suddenly woke up after three thousand years", this is the description in the illustration. There may be nothing worth noting when you look at it alone, but combined with the historical node of the outbreak of the Dark Night in the Galar region, which is also three thousand years ago, it is somewhat interesting.

Under Luo Mu's questioning, the Bud Crown remembered that the main force of iron production at that time was indeed very similar to the appearance of Melmetal described by Luo Mu, and he determined the two future goals.

Find the craftsman who is capable of recasting the decayed sword and the decayed shield, and the main sources of recasting materials, Meltan and Melmetal.

Luo Mu has some clues about Meltan, but now is not the time. He should focus on training a suitable craftsman first.

Luo Mu and the monarch snake soon came to the foot of the hill.

Following the guidance of the system, Luo Mu found a road covered by dense vegetation, which could not be seen as a road leading to the mountain.

Putting his hands together, Luo Mu asked the monarch snake: "Can you help clear a road leading to the mountain? I can only rely on you!"

Monarch snake: "."

So today, instead of bringing Roentgen cat, you brought me, so I was asked to do this dirty work!

Monarch snake's face suddenly turned black, and just when Luo Mu subconsciously retreated and tried his best to avoid the disaster, the monarch snake just pulled out a few traces on the ground with its tail, and then gathered the sharp and unparalleled flying leaf storm to help Luo Mu open the way.

It is definitely impossible to use leaf blades, and it doesn't want to get covered in dust.

As a royal Pokémon full of majesty, it must always maintain an elegant posture.

While clearing the weeds with increasingly fierce leaf storms, the Monarch Snake sighed.

I really can't do anything with you.

Since you rely on me, I will naturally respond to you, just like before.

The Monarch Snake cleared the way very efficiently, but after a short while, the bumpy mountain roads covered by plants and weeds appeared in the sun for the first time in a long time.

Luo Mu, who was enjoying the fruits of his labor, was also very tactful and used all kinds of exaggerated praises to make the Monarch Snake feel much happier, so that the Monarch Snake, who was so proud, didn't even notice that he instinctively hooked his fingertips with vines.
