Chapter 45 The Blacksmith and the Alchemist
"Help you also help me! No thanks." Chen Rui smiled and said, and after solving the vicious curse, he also gained a lot of benefits. The formula for the potion that makes people live forever is priceless. However, Chen Rui dared not leak this formula easily. After all, Edward was forced to the point of desperation by the Church of Light when he was a legendary alchemist. Chen Rui-
I guess the light church can crush him to death by moving his little finger!
Of course, Edward's research experience and notes are also priceless for Chen Rui, which allows Chen Rui to avoid many detours in alchemy and magic circles!
"Hmm? What does it mean?"
Joanna couldn't understand Chen Rui's words, and she couldn't help but stare at Chen Rui with a suspicious look. What does this mean? Helping you is also helping me?
"Nothing interesting!" Chen Rui smiled, and then had a conversation with Joanna. Finally, Joanna finally said her plan in a hesitant manner. She thought that after a few days, she would cook, cook some food, and invite Chen Rui to have a meal. Thank you very much. Chen Rui was almost scared to fall from the chair!
This Joanna can actually cook?
It doesn't look like her!
If Joanna really knows how to cook, then Chen Rui can only say one thing: People should not behave like a person, and the sea water should not be measured!
After saying his purpose, Joanna seemed embarrassed to stay there, and couldn't help but stand up and say goodbye. Not long after Joanna left, Chen Rui remembered something. He originally wanted to ask, why is Joanna, a great knight who exercises all day, has no muscles on her body?
This is really unscientific!
In the end, Chen Rui planned to find a chance in the future and ask Joanna.
...
The next morning, Lucy got up early, washed her and Chen Rui's clothes first, prepared breakfast, and then went out to the blacksmith workshop in the village.
It was only at noon that Chen Rui woke up lazyly, and he was so happy that he could sleep until his natural awakening.
Joanna's matter was resolved, and Chen Rui had nothing to do at hand. He got up, read a book, and just went to the village and wandered around.
Because the land outside the village has regained vitality and became able to be planted again, the villagers raised funds to buy seeds and seedlings of crops, and Meluti himself also sponsored 400 gold coins. Such a move naturally won the praise and reputation of the villagers.
However, this also led to not many people in the village, and most of them were children, and adults were planting in the land outside the village, facing the scorching sun.
Chen Rui also wandered outside the village—
When some villagers saw Chen Rui, they enthusiastically invited Chen Rui to go to the ground to experience the fun of planting. Chen Rui himself did not refuse this proposal. However, in the end, Chen Rui still felt that he was not a good planting player!
In the end, Chen Rui said goodbye to the villagers and returned to the village to take a nap.
...
For several days, Chen Rui slept until he woke up naturally, and took a nap in the afternoon. Now he slept too much, which made him unable to sleep at night.
During this period, I read books, slept with all my things, or fiddled with alchemy potions, and studied the construction principles of the magic array. This kind of life is quite easy and freehand.
But just this morning, Joanna came to say hello, saying that she was free tonight, so she wanted to invite Chen Rui to dinner.
Chen Rui was too lazy to refuse. After all, if he refused, Joanna would definitely be talking nonsense again.
In the afternoon, the sun outside was so vicious that even the breeze was filled with burning heat waves. The scorching sun above his head, Chen Rui also came to the blacksmith workshop in the village to see Lucy's situation.
In the blacksmith's workshop, there are the sounds of iron-shots-
"Sir Alchemist, what are you doing here?"
Suddenly, a sturdy middle-aged man appeared in front of Chen Rui. Seeing this, Chen Rui smiled and explained: "I'm just here to take a look!"
As if he heard Chen Rui's voice, Lucy walked out of the smelting room of the blacksmith workshop. At this time, Lucy's face was covered with beads of sweat. Although her long silver hair was tied up, the hair on her forehead was wet, almost touching her forehead.
Then—
Faris also walked out. When she saw Chen Rui, she immediately said nervously: "Hello, Lord Chen Rui!"
Then he had a conversation with Lucy and talked to Faris for a few more words. The two of them walked into the smelting room again and went forging and smelting.
"My daughter Faris is really much worse than Lucy!" The stout middle-aged man sighed at this time, and then he hurriedly said: "Of course, it's just a little worse in the ironwork. For the rest, my daughter is not inferior to Lucy!"
"..." Chen Rui was speechless.
"Just just kidding." After the middle-aged man said, he said in surprise: "But I really didn't expect that the noble alchemist would come to the small workshop of blacksmiths like us."
“Hmm?”
"Don't you know? Alchemists and blacksmiths are mortal enemies." The middle-aged man explained: "Alchemists look down on blacksmiths and believe that blacksmiths have no technical content in forging. However, you also know that rich nobles and wealthy groups are a minority after all, and it is impossible for everyone to afford weapons and tools forging by alchemists. Therefore, the things forging by our blacksmiths, whether kitchen utensils, weapons, or other things, are popular among civilians. However, this also leads to the poor relationship between our blacksmiths and alchemists!"
The peers are enemies—
However, the alchemist is aimed at the wealthy class, while the blacksmiths are aimed at the civilian class. In theory, there should be no contradiction. However, because the blacksmiths occupy all the civilian market, the alchemists lack a large potential market, so they will naturally feel unhappy when the blacksmiths!
But blacksmiths are also human beings and have to eat. If the things they create cannot be sold, then wouldn’t they starve to death?
"At least in terms of forging weapons, the legendary blacksmith is more powerful than the forged weapons by the legendary alchemist!" Chen Rui smiled, and when he heard this, the middle-aged man looked at Chen Rui with horror.
He never expected that this was said from an alchemist?
A few days ago, his daughter Faris told him that Lord Chen Rui is a unique person. He was a little disdainful, but when he saw it today, he didn't expect that Chen Rui was really unique!
However, only such an alchemist can solve the land problem in Flanluo Village!
Like the Duke and Kings, all the alchemists who are not capable of doing things have their eyes on their heads. As expected, the old saying goes, the more incompetent a person is, the more arrogant he is. And those with ability are all down-to-earth doing things.
