It's possible to practice magic this way, right?

Lin Li waited for a while, and the waiter started to serve Lin Li. After serving the dishes, he sat down opposite Lin Li and took a big gulp of the beer.

"Ah~, cool."

"Speaking of our amazing blacksmiths, there are many of them. Although our Crimson Bunker is not big, we produce Crimson Ore here, which is a top-quality material that can be used for fire."

"So we have quite a lot of blacksmiths here."

"But when it comes to the most powerful blacksmiths, there are two in our city who are recognized as the most powerful. They are Tong Yan from the Tong family, and Tie Shou from the Tie family."

"These two are the most famous blacksmiths around here."

"Oh, then do you know how to find them?" Lin Li asked.

The waiter did not answer Lin Li's words, but picked up the glass and drank the remaining beer.

With a bang, he put the cup on the table and stared at Lin Li with his big eyes.

The meaning was so obvious that Lin Li had no choice but to order another glass of beer.

He still drank half the glass in one gulp before speaking.

"Tongyan has his own forging shop, called Hongyan Forging. Tieshou is more troublesome. This guy hangs out in the mines every day and has no fixed location. If you want to find him, you have to find his apprentice first."

"Then where can we find his apprentice?" Lin Li asked.

When the waiter saw Lin Li asking questions again, he immediately wanted to pick up the remaining half cup of beer. Lin Li was quick to cover the mouth of the cup with his hand.

"Before, I asked how to find them. Now you told me where one of them is."

"Okay, stingy human. For the sake of the beer, I'll give you a message for free."

"His apprentice is called Tieshi, and he opened a Tieshi Forge. You can find him wherever you go."

Damn it, why didn't you just tell me about these two forging shops? You left it half-heartedly, just to get a free drink?

Forget it, I won’t bother with these drunkards.

"Give you another glass of wine, and tell me who is better at identifying the properties of metals between the two of them."

"Haha, then of course it's Tie Shou. He is a material fan, and his favorite thing is to collect various metal ores and other materials."

"In his words, forging is just a means of making a living. Mining and collecting are about enjoying life."

After three glasses of wine, the waiter continued to work in satisfaction.

Xiao Wu watched the dwarves drink three cups of beer and then did nothing to work, and couldn't help asking, "Master, how can their short bodies hold so much beer?"

"And it's such a big cup in just two sips."

The cups here are not small, one cup should be about 1 liter.

"God knows where he drank all this wine."

After the two of them finished their meal, they left the tavern and found the Red Flame Forge and the Iron Stone Forge on the map of the bunker.

Since Tieshou is very good at identifying materials, it is natural to go directly to him.

So Lin Li went to the Iron and Stone Forge first.

It's worth mentioning that the three glasses of beer were worth it. They encountered several forging shops along the way. If no one introduced them, they really didn't know who had the best skills.

However, Lin Li did not believe the waiter's words directly.

So he found some people to confirm it. After paying a few bottles of wine, Lin could confirm that the most powerful here were Tong Yan and Tie Shou.

The Iron and Stone Forge is quite large. There are many weapons and armors on display.

Seeing someone coming in, the dwarf in the store looked over.

"Humans? They are rare visitors. We orcs can often see them, but humans don't come here often."

This is a female dwarf. Looking at her arms, they are thicker than Xiao Wu's thighs.

"Are you Tieshi?" Lin Li asked

"No, I am his sister. The iron and stone are being forged inside."

"Are you here to ask him to customize weapons?"

"Uh, no, actually we wanted to come look for Iron Hand, but we heard that only Iron Stone could find him."

"Oh, so have you prepared everything?"

"What are you preparing for?"

“It’s a rare material.”

"If you want to ask Master Tie Shou to help, you must prepare rare materials, otherwise he will definitely ignore you."

"Don't worry about that. I'm looking for him to help me identify some unknown metals."

"Is that so? Wait a minute then."

The dwarf turned around and shouted inside: "Brother, business is coming. Come out quickly."

After a while, a dwarf walked out.

"Humans? Do you want custom weapons?"

"Brother, they came to see your master. They said they wanted to identify unknown metals."

"Unknown metal? Can you show it to me first?"

"alright."

Maybe the iron stone in front of you can tell what metals these are, which can save a lot of time.

Lin Li took out the pile of metal he got in the misty jungle from his bracelet.

There are many large and small ones, and there are many varieties.

The materials in Lin Li's hands are some more, some less. The most are enough to make a full body armor, while the least are not even enough to make a dagger.

There are also some that Lin Li recognizes, such as Mithril. These are not taken out.

"So many? Look at the shape? Did you dismantle some machine?"

Tieshi said as he picked up a piece of metal on the ground.

He first looked at it carefully and then weighed it with his right hand.

"Looking at its jet black color, this must be Black Steel. It's a legendary material, but unfortunately the quantity is too small."

Then I changed the block again.

Isn't this our specialty, the crimson metal? It's also a legendary material.

He looked around the ground and recognized most of them, but there were still four that he didn't recognize.

This also happens to include the two largest metals.

Lin Li also learned the properties of some materials from him. He found that these materials contained all kinds of properties.

Lin Li estimated that among the remaining four types, the two in small quantities must be the light and wood types, because Tie Shi had not yet reported these two types of properties. The other properties of materials he knew were also of this type and in small quantities.

"Human, I don't know where you got these metals from. But they are indeed top-quality materials."

"You've got someone I don't recognize. I can take you to see my master. But my master has rules. No matter what you ask him to do, you have to give him a piece of rare material for your collection."

"No problem. I think since you don't recognize these four, it means your master probably doesn't have these four in his collection."

"Well, that's true."

"Come with me, I will take you to find my master."

"Aren't we waiting for you here?" Lin Li asked.

"You are just identifying a material. Do you really want my master to come back specially and take a few glances before running back?"

"Then shouldn't we just run over to him, look at him a few times, and then run back?"

"Are you asking my master to identify them? Or is my master asking you to identify them? You don't have to go. Just give me some of each and I'll take them over. But don't expect to get them back."

Damn, the extra two types are fine, but there is only one piece of the light and wood types.

It's dark, too dark. It seems I have to walk through this mine again.
