"Printon, you have to know that in Roguetown, your small blacksmith shop is nothing. The piece of Deep Cold Iron that you were lucky enough to purchase this time is a precious material for forging a famous saber. It's too wasteful to use it for your blacksmith shop!”
In the crowd, a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes with his left hand behind his back and two iron balls in his right hand said with a smile,"Instead of wasting such precious materials, why don't you transfer them to our iron furnace at a high price? Perhaps we can even forge a big fast saber? At that time, you'll have a part to play, right?”
"Bullsh * t, how can your blacksmith forge a weapon on the level of a big fast knife? Are you dreaming?" Printon was a tall and thin man. He was looking at the man in luxurious clothes angrily."Besides, what do you mean by high price? I spent 500,000 Bailey to buy the materials, but you only want to take it for 100,000 Bailey. Do you think I'm easy to bully?”
"Old Iron Egg!" At this moment, John Senior walked over and looked at the man in luxurious clothes with an ugly expression. He said in a deep voice,"Are you bullying me?”
"Hey, isn't this Old John? You're not dead yet?" The middle-aged man in luxurious clothes smiled, but the words he said made people extremely angry."With such precious materials, I don't think you can even forge a good knife with your craftsmanship, right? Hehehe! For so many years, your family only managed to forge a weapon of the same level as the Good Fast Blade a hundred years ago. Now, it's not good anymore. It's declining. Don't you admit it?”
"Humph!" At the mention of this, John Senior's eyes twitched, and then he felt a little sad. Yes, his family had indeed declined.
In the past, the senior blacksmith of the family, who had been around for more than a hundred years, could also forge a powerful weapon at the level of a good fast knife. However, it was impossible now. His family was not one of the blacksmiths in Roguetown that could forge such a weapon.
Seeing that John Senior was speechless, the middle-aged man continued leisurely,""So, rather than wasting materials, I'll ask Printon to transfer the materials to me. Is there a problem?”
"In your dreams. Even if we throw this material away, we won't transfer it to you!”Pu Linton glared at the man in luxurious clothes with a stubborn expression.
"That's right. You can leave. We will never transfer the materials.”John Senior said angrily.
"Hahahaha!" Before the middle-aged man could say anything, a muscular middle-aged man walked out from behind him with a loud laugh. He stroked his short black beard and said,"Old John, why don't we compete in forging skills? The wager is the material in your hands. Do you dare to accept it?"
" The Swordsmith from the Ironforge Weapon Shop!" Printon and John Senior's expressions changed, and their faces immediately turned ugly. This was the blacksmith of the Ironforge Weapon Shop, a master blacksmith who could forge high-quality swords and sabers. He was very powerful. If he challenged them to a forging skill competition, he was trying to destroy their weapon shop. If he defeated them in front of so many people, John's weapon shop's business would definitely plummet in the future. It was obvious that he had evil intentions.
"Hehe, what, are you afraid?" The master swordsman sneered and said,""Since you're afraid, then hand over the materials obediently so that you won't embarrass yourself!”
"You…" John Senior was furious. He wanted to agree, but he really couldn't win. If he really lost in front of everyone, then his family in Roguetown would be finished.
"Father, promise him. We can't retreat!”Printon shouted with his eyes wide open.
"Shut up!" John Senior stopped Printon, but he sighed in his heart. It seemed that he could not keep this piece of material. He could not agree to the competition. With his strength, he would definitely lose if he fought with this master swordsman.
"We, we... Sigh…" John Senior spoke with difficulty. He hesitated for a moment, then gave up. He sighed with a disappointed expression and was about to agree to the transfer of materials.
At this moment, Ron, who was standing at the side, smiled slightly. Since his sword-forging technique was taught by Old John, then before he left, he would help Old John win back a city. It could also be considered as repaying the kindness of Old John's teaching.
"Wait!" Ron stepped out of the crowd, glanced at John Senior, and said,""Master John, there's no need for you to personally deal with this kind of person. Let me, an apprentice, deal with him!”
"Ron!" John Senior looked at Ron in confusion, not understanding what he meant.'You're just an apprentice, and you're saying you want to represent your weapon shop to fight against the other party's master swordsmith. Could it be Shi Lezhi?'
Not only was John Senior stunned, but even his son, Printon, was also stunned. After hearing his father's explanation, he knew that this was an apprentice that his father had recruited after he left. However, how could a mere apprentice like him have the confidence to fight against the other party's master swordsmith!
Printon's face immediately revealed an anxious expression. Although he was angry and unwilling to admit defeat, this was not the way to go!
“。。。Apprentice?" Before Printon said anything, the people in the Ironforge Arms Shop burst into laughter.
"I, hahaha, did I hear wrongly?”The middle-aged man in luxurious clothes laughed loudly."You, a mere apprentice, actually have the guts to fight against the master swordsmith of our Ironforge Weapon Shop? Hahaha, this is the funniest joke I've heard this year!”
"Puff!" The master swordsman also laughed. He did not feel that he was being underestimated at all. It was obvious that he thought the other party was a fool."You, a mere apprentice, want to challenge me, Wei Erxun? Hehehe, little fellow, are you joking?”
"Of course not!" " I'm Master John's apprentice," Ron said with a serious expression." But I'm also Master John's disciple. I'm more than enough to deal with a mere sword!" What, you don't dare to agree?"
"Agree? Why wouldn't I dare to agree?？”The swordsmith and the middle-aged man looked at each other and felt very comfortable. They all thought that the other was being stupid. A small apprentice was pushed out, probably because Old John didn't want to fight himself. If he lost, he would lose face. If it was an apprentice who lost, it would be fine. At most, he would lose a piece of material and wouldn't lose too much face. Yes, that must be it.
"Haha, since you've accepted the challenge, that's great!”The middle-aged man waved his hand and said," The wager is that precious material. If our Ironforge Arms Shop loses, we are willing to pay one million Bailey. If you lose, you will transfer that material to me for free. Yes, that's it!"”
The middle-aged man in luxurious clothes did not allow Old John to speak at all to prevent him from going back on his word. He immediately instructed his subordinates to go back and bring the forging furnace over, as well as the casting materials.
