Chapter 9: Upgrades in the Blacksmith's Shop
1374 Words
By the time they returned home, Wren had a basket full of wild blueberries, hazelnuts, and chestnuts.
Thanks to George's connections, the two of them were able to sneak into the manor woodland and pick up various nuts and berries.
Rewarding!
About 70 percent of the forests around the town belong to the Habsburg estates, and the other 30 percent are public woodlands.
But wild fruits, nuts, etc., in the public woodland, have long been picked by the townspeople.
It was already lunch time, the autumn sun was extraordinarily warm, and when Wren was about to walk to the door, he had already seen the white smoke floating from his chimney from a distance, which made Wren feel very good.
However, when the corner of his eye swept over the door next door, he was stunned!
I saw a little girl in a gray linen coat, sitting on the wooden steps of her house, soaking up the sun while taking a sip of a piece of wheat bran cake.
Although it is inferior to black bread, the little girl also cherishes it, holding the bran cake in one hand, and then taking the fallen crumbs in the other, and pouring the crumbs into her mouth, not willing to waste it at all.
After a few bites, the girl in the sun squinted her eyes, and seemed to be very satisfied that she could have a piece of wheat bran cake to eat.
The girl is Anna!
Wren froze in place, staring blankly at the other party's cautious eating, and his heart jerked.
It is the great misfortune that will make a piece of bran cake taste happy.
Wren looked down at the wild fruit in his hand, his lips pursed, but he didn't know what to say, he and the girl were not familiar with each other, so he rashly stepped forward to give it away, and the other party would not necessarily accept his kindness.
After thinking about it, Wren went into his room, poured out a small half of the wild fruits and nuts he had picked up, and handed the remaining half basket to his sister Mint.
"Mint, go, give this half basket of wild fruits to Sister Anna on the side, remember to let her accept it." Wren squatted down, looked at Mint with a puzzled expression, and said.
As if he understood something from his brother's resolute eyes, Mint said very firmly:
"Hmmm! Sister Anna has always had a hard time living alone. She must like these wild fruits, don't worry! Brother, I will definitely let Sister Anna accept it. Mint fluttered her eyes and raised her little hand.
After a while, Mint came back with a grunt.
"Brother, Sister Anna accepted it, she asked me to thank you! We also made an appointment to continue planting vegetables in the garden in the afternoon. ”
"Mint is awesome!" Wren heard that Anna accepted it, and his heart suddenly relaxed, touched Mint's head, and praised with a smile.
After lunch, Wren walked towards the blacksmith shop in Shining Gold.
The blacksmith shop was located on the main road of the town, and before Wren could get closer, Wren heard the sound of tinkling and clanging iron from a distance.
As soon as I walked into the blacksmith shop, I immediately felt a rush of heat in my face, and I saw several strong men who looked like helpers and apprentices were busy inside, and blacksmith Borris Paton was making iron pots.
Several of the apprentices watched in confusion as Wren walked over to Boris.
I only heard Wren say, "Uncle Boris, can I come to the blacksmith shop to help?" Whatever you want! ”
When Boris heard this, he turned his head to look at Wren, looked Wren up and down, and said, "It turned out to be little Wren, it seems to be much stronger than before." But I'm sorry, but there's no shortage of people in the blacksmith right now. ”
"Hehe, Uncle Borris, I'll help for free, you can let me do whatever you want."
Blacksmith Boris was a little moved when he heard that it was free labor, and seemed to be thinking about what to do with Wren? Not only will Wren steal any trade, but he can also make good use of this free labor.
When a blacksmith apprentice on the side heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Master, then let Wren help me pull the blower!" ”
Boris glanced at the other party, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay! Wren, remember not to mess around with the things in the blacksmith shop, you will be in charge of pulling the blower this afternoon, Drews, you teach Wren. ”
Of course, Wren will not object, the blower is the blower!
Just have experience!
Repairing a donkey's hooves can increase the experience of a blacksmith's apprentice, not to mention a blower!
Sitting in front of the blower, Wren pulled the blower hard under the guidance of Drews.
Several strong apprentices next to him looked up at Wren, with thin arms and legs, and it was estimated that they couldn't pull it a few times.
But when Wren mastered the initial skills of the blower, he began to pull it tirelessly.
[You have carried out the work of pulling the bellows, and the relevant comprehension has been improved! ] 】
[You have comprehended a new skill - bellows pulling]
Wren was overjoyed, and it was exactly as he expected.
Almost every time you pull it, you gain +1, +1 experience from pulling the bellows......
Blacksmith Apprentice Class Experience also quickly prompts +1.
This made Wren overjoyed!
Suddenly, Wren pulled up like a perpetual motion machine!
The apprentices on the side looked at this scene with a look of surprise!
They couldn't understand why this new kid could be so enthusiastic about a mechanical, tedious job.
Does this stinky boy know what free help is?
It is necessary to work harder than these formal blacksmith apprentices, and it will be a long time to live!
Wren did it until dark!
The number of breaks in between can be said to be very small.
This made the blacksmith Boris also impressed with Wren!
At the same time, Boris took advantage of this opportunity to scold several of the blacksmith apprentices, saying that they should learn from Wren and so on.
Suddenly, several blacksmith apprentices glanced at each other, and they all saw a sense of urgency in each other's eyes.
Blacksmith apprentices are hard work among apprentices in other trades, but the treatment is first-class, they don't say it, but they cherish it in their hearts.
And the addition of Wren is equivalent to adding a catfish to this group of lazy sardines, and these lazy fish who stir up suddenly become diligent.
Blacksmith Boris couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the scene in front of him.
I didn't expect that I agreed to let this kid Ren do the work of pulling the bellows, and it would have this effect by mistake.
It didn't take long for Wren to wait for the system prompt for the class level increase:
[You have carried out the work of pulling the bellows, and the relevant comprehension has been improved! ] 】
[Your skill bellows are improved, experience points +3]
[You focus on the blower, blacksmith apprentice class experience +1]
[Congratulations, your blacksmith apprentice class level has been raised!] 】
Eagerly turning the transparent frame to the second page, Wren took a closer look.
In the first panel frame, the Blacksmith Apprentice has been upgraded to level 3.
Blacksmith Apprentice Lv3 (0/500)】
【Bellows Lv2 (245/300)】
【******（295/300）】
【******（56/100）】
[Remaining Attribute Points: 1]
[Remaining Skill Points: 2]
Even if he knew that his career level would be raised today, but seeing this scene, Wren couldn't suppress the joy in his heart!
Although this time he came to Borris's blacksmith shop, Wren worked for free, but at this moment, the new 1 attribute point and 1 skill point at the bottom of the attribute panel are the best remuneration for his free part-time job this time!
