Abe the Wizard

The smithy is not in the castle, but close to the iron quarry. Marshall Knight and Abe sat in the carriage and took 20 minutes to get there.

Far away, I heard the sound of a hammer hitting an iron block, and following the sound, I saw a row of neat stone houses made of huge stones. The roof of each stone house has a huge chimney. Four of the six chimneys were smoking black smoke.

Seeing these stone houses, Abe also saw that Marshall Knight attached great importance to the smithy. Those megaliths are the same as the megaliths used in the castle. They are all transported from distant mountains, not to mention their value, but The cost of transportation is a huge expense.

“Here is the Bensum Master I invited from Harvest City. After meeting, we must respect him. His craft is the best in Harvest City. If it is not his son, he wants to give the shop in the city. His son, I also ask not to return to the Master Ben. “Marshall Knight explained to Abe carefully.

“Marshall, you are welcome.”

Standing up to 50 meters tall, with a sturdy figure and a beard in his XNUMXs, the Master Ben XNUMX has already greeted him when he saw the carriage of his lord, and simply bowed his head, even if it was a gift.

Marshall Knight, who didn’t care about it, returned a gift and smiled and told the Bensum Master: “I brought a youngster today to be your apprentice.”

Master Ben turned his attention to Abe and asked hesitantly: “You are talking about this child? Marshall, don’t think I don’t know the difference between youngster and child. This little fellow is a child, no more than At the age of XNUMX, you know that studying with me is a strong apprentice, not a minor child. “

Due to the welcome of Bentham Master, many people nearby came around.

“Bentham Master, this is my adopted son, Abe. He is a trainee Knight and needs to learn from you to forge to strengthen your power.”

“The idea is good, but no, I will not accept him.” Master Benstern said seriously: “Forging is a very hard work for a noble Young Master, and I also I don’t believe Knight, a young student, has the power to swing the hammer. “

“Bentham Master, I can endure hardships, and I have great strength.” Abe extended the hand and made a strong posture.

“Haha.” In front of the XNUMX-meter-tall bear-like Master Ben, Abe was only XNUMX meters tall. After making a strong posture, the contrast of contrast made the onlookers laugh.

“Abe, after 2 years, when you are XNUMX years old, taller and stronger, if you still want to learn forging, I will teach you.” Because Abe is the adopted son of Marshall Knight, Bensum The Master promised Abe very patiently.

“How strong is it to meet your requirements?” Abe asked.

Looking at the stubborn Abe, Bentham Master said, “You follow me.”

Marshall Knight and Abe followed Bensum Master towards the yard behind the stone house.

The onlookers crowded together to the backyard.

“How many children can you say this child can lift?”

“It would be nice to be able to lift one.”

“He was a trainee Knight, and I said he could raise the second.”

“I bet he can lift one.”

“I bet I can raise two.”

The voices of everyone were talking loudly.

Neither Marshall Knight nor Abe ignored these talks, followed Ben Master to the backyard, and saw that on the side of the backyard, two large irons were arranged from small to large, with an iron rod in the middle. Something.

Abe’s more and more familiar, this thing is the same as barbell, but much rougher than the barbell he knows, even if the cultural background is different, people’s understanding of how to better exert their power is still similar.

“The iron locks I made for the apprentice Refining Qi, from small to large, the smallest XNUMX pounds, the largest XNUMX pounds, each increase XNUMX pounds from left to right.” Benthem Master pointed to the ground and called Said the device for the lock.

“Garden, come here,” Master Benckin pointed at a big man in the crowd who was almost as strong as Master himself.

“Master, me, me, I’m not lazy, I just dumped the slag.” Garden explained with a stammer, his dark face was sweaty with tension.

The onlookers laughed. Everyone knew Garden. This was a new apprentice apprentice after Master Ben came to the castle. Because of his hard work, Garden was already accepted as a discipline by Master Ben.

Apprentices and disciples are very different. Apprentices often have to do a lot of labor, such as burning a lot of wood every day in the smithy. The segmentation of these pieces of wood is an apprentice’s job. Salary.

Disciple is not the same. Disciple can give priority to learning the craftsmanship of the master, and can receive a salary that matches his craftwork every month.

“Garden, I asked you to show Abe how to use iron locks, and let him know the power required to become a blacksmith.” The Bentham Master liked this disciple very much, and was honest, hard-working, and easy to learn, and for Marshall Knight He also wanted to take care of Marshall Knight when he became old and weak.

“Okay, Master.” Garden laughed thickly, rubbed his hands on his body, walked to the third chain lock, turned his head and said to Abe, “Abe, you can see my movements clearly.”

With both hands grasping the two sides of the iron rod in the iron lock, it was loudly shouted. This 2-pound iron lock was suddenly lifted from the ground, and it was easily lifted over the head. Garden was not like a XNUMX-pound iron lock, and It’s like a straw.

“Okay.” In the applause of the crowd from the side, Garden dropped the iron lock on the ground.

Garden looked up at the Bensum Master, and the Master said to him nodded, “Garden, continue.”

Garden walked to the fourth lock, and this time the 4-pound lock was also easily lifted by him. Then came the fifth iron lock. This time, Garden was obviously not as easy as he started, but he still raised his head.

At this time, the crowd of people holding their breaths watched as Garden walked towards the sixth iron lock, which was a 6-pound iron lock. Most people don’t mention it, just trying to remember it is not easy.

This time Garden stood in front of the sixth iron lock, not at all immediately raised, but closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and after a while, Garden opened loudly shouted, 6 pounds of iron lock away The ground rose, and his face became red with force, and the blue veins on his neck burst.

The crowd was cheering loudly as Garden finally lifted the iron lock over his head, and the scene was very lively.

“Garden, you have more strength, and you will surpass me in a few years.” Benthem Master looked at Gaden with relief and said.

“It’s far worse than you.” Garden was blushed by the Master, and he was embarrassed to touch his head.

“Abe, it’s up to you.” Bentham Master looked towards Abe, thinking that Abe would retreat when he knew how difficult it was, knowing that Abe had unceremoniously reached the third iron lock.

Abe just watched Garden’s demonstration. To be honest, he still recognized Garden’s strength, but the unskilled weightlifting method made him really disagree.

As a fitness trainer, barbell is one of the equipments he played the most before. Garden’s strength is XNUMX pounds. If Garden can use Earth’s weightlifting skills, then XNUMX pounds can be lifted, and there are many mistakes in the posture of Garden It’s just that his body is too strong, so there is no harm. If the wrong weight lifting method is used for a long time, it will certainly cause harm to the body.

“Is he going to lift the XNUMX-pound iron directly?”

“Oh my god, he can’t lift it.”

“Is he crazy?”

Talking around came again, and Abe frowned. He didn’t like others looking at himself like a circus.

“All leave here.” The Bensum Master saw that Abe didn’t like the crowd, and thought he was embarrassed to be ugly in front of everyone, so he stepped forward to drive away the crowd.

The crowd burst into sight when Bensum Master got angry.

“Don’t force yourself, try your best.” Master Bensum advised Abe.
