The old short man held a spoon on his right leg and took a spoonful of mushroom soup into his mouth when he suddenly said something.
Wu Qi's movements in his legs didn't pause at all, and he kept stuffing food into his mouth.
The old short man waited for a while but didn't hear a reply, so he said to himself: "Sure enough, he doesn't know the language of the abyss. Is he thinking too much?"
At that time, Wu Qi turned around and asked the short old man: "Old man, were you talking to him just now?"
The old man almost choked on a mouthful of mushroom soup. He coughed twice. Wu Qi handed two napkins along his legs, and the old man took them unconsciously.
"Thanks."
"It's okay, old man."
After the old man regained his breath, he asked: "Young man, am I the new hunter? I thought I couldn't speak the language of the abyss."
Wu Qi smiled politely and said: "He has been learning the language there for the past two days, and he has rarely spoken to anyone other than Mr. Harvey and Lycaon."
After that back and forth, the suspicion that the old man mistakenly followed Wu Qi and deliberately approached him was almost eliminated. Wu Qi took this opportunity to ask where the old short man worked. As expected by Wu Qi, the old short man was the master craftsman who made the "dust-free arrows" in the mouth of the leopard head.
"Dust-free arrows? That kind of thing is just my casual creation, and it really has no place on the scene. If Mr. Harvey hadn't invited me here with a high salary and favors, I wouldn't have joined the hunting team in that corner of the Silver Sand Desert. Work in the workshop.”
The short craftsman waved his leg, not caring about the truth.
"The master is too generous. Although he is a novice hunter, he also knows that the Wuchen Arrow is a perfect match for the hunting team in the Silver Sand Desert. Wrong, that kind of wooden arrow is as sharp and hard as the abyss rocks. Could it be that it is also the work of a master?" Wu Qi praised the work of the master craftsman in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, while continuing the conversation by climbing on the ground.
"Young man, I said 'Abyss Rock'. That's a strange name," the dwarf craftsman said. "I am a human from outside the abyss. I'm afraid I am talking about the rock at the entrance of the abyss. In the huge abyss There are countless types of ores that are stronger than 'Mist Rock', and almost no craftsmen can use 'Mist Rock' to make weapons. So I think that very strong wooden arrows cannot be made from the stems of an extremely strong tree. In terms of its strength, it is indeed a waste of talent to use it for training."
Wu Qi said with some sincerity: "Master, everyone in the hunting team praises your superb skills, but I personally attribute the excellence of the work to the materials. I really admire you."
The short craftsman raised his red beard and said: "They were born in the abyss of the Apocalypse, and their geographical location is unique. As craftsmen, they do a lot of ingenious things that take advantage of nature. Naturally, they must be in awe, otherwise the journey of the craftsmen will not be long. As for me, the outside world It is said that one's skills are superb, but in fact, most of them are based on talent and miracles. For example, the 'dust-free arrow' is not a work that other craftsmen cannot create even with all their skills."
Wu Qi nodded. He chuckled softly, and he really had to accept the theory of talent awe from the master craftsman.
"Master, I really benefited a lot from what you said. Fortunately, I am also a lucky person. From the beginning to now, I have borrowed countless talents, opportunities and help from others. In fact, looking back, many achievements are not entirely due to me. own ability.”
There was some surprise in the eyes of the short craftsman. To be honest, he had heard too much flattery from young people, but no young man could so quickly accept the theory of innate awe that he had believed in his whole life.
"Talent is not a part of strength, and luck is not a part of strength." The short craftsman always hears such an argument. Although those young people will not tell him the wrong thing openly, almost everyone's values are not the same. In this way, he can see it from some details.
The dwarf craftsman does not like and will not like such high-spirited young people, but if the fellow craftsmen have such thoughts, he will be extremely disgusted with that person. And so far, he has only met two laypeople who recognized his theory of innate awe as if he met a close friend.
The first one is Harvey, a young man from the Black Elf tribe, and the second one is Wu Qi.
The dwarf craftsman deeply believes that people whose own ideas are similar to the theory of innate awe are the least likely to go astray. This is because people who can listen to his philosophical remarks that were not mainstream at that time, who have good luck and experience, and who are willing to reflect on themselves and treat others with humility are definitely not evil-natured people.
If a person has such a mature mentality at a young age, his mentality has already surpassed that of his peers, and his future will be uncertain.
The short craftsman looked at Wu Qi with a faint glow in his eyes. He put his hands on Wu Qi's legs and arms and said eagerly: "Young man, my name is Solu. What is my name?"
Wu Qi was stunned for a moment: "This junior is called 'Wu Qi'. Is it true that I don't know how to translate the word 'Wu Qi' in the language of the abyss?"
"Wu Qi? Are you interested in waiting for a visit to my workshop?"
Wu Qi said happily: "I'm very happy."
Although Wu Qi didn't know if any of his words accidentally hit Master Solu's "favor point", but since the wrong party was the first to become enthusiastic, his trip was equivalent to "exceeding the goal."
Wu Qi himself was somewhat interested in the production method of "dust-free arrows".
Taking advantage of the little free time from Li Zaiwu's routine training, Wu Qi followed Master Solu, who wore his joy on his face, out of the restaurant and went straight to his workshop. The two of them also met many hunters on the way. The hunters all greeted Master Solu politely, and Master Solu also smiled and expressed his gratitude.
"Eh? Why is Master Craftsman in such a good mood tomorrow morning?"
The hunter who was greeted by Master Solu stared at his legs in surprise. He seemed unable to believe what had just happened.
Because in the past, when they greeted the master craftsman, the master craftsman would look at them indifferently and just ignore them if they were in a bad mood. Out of the respect of Master Craftsman and Lord Harvey, their hunters would always say hello even if their greetings were ignored. It was the first time that I was greeted with such enthusiasm when greeting the master craftsman.
It was the first time for other hunters to see that scene. They were also extremely surprised and lowered their voices for a while to discuss.
"Why? It's the first time he saw master craftsmen stretching his legs to say hello to them."
"Is it because of the new hunter? He is so close to the master craftsman. In addition to Mr. Harvey, the hunting team seems to have Deputy Captain Lycaon."
"Vice-captain Lycaon is so nice. It's normal to have a good relationship with the master craftsman. But that guy didn't seem to know their language two days ago, right?"
As the hunters chatted, doubts naturally emerged. Their words were all listened to by Wu Qi from a distance, but Wu Qi memorized the information hidden in those words without revealing anything.
In front of him was Master Solu's workshop.
