The motorcycle sped along the empty road. Looking at the small town not far ahead, Colin couldn't help but speed up.
It was now two days after his battle with Mephisto, and just as he had originally thought, his goal was simply to determine the fighting strength of his potential enemy.
After confirming this, he no longer had any reason to get involved. He also didn't care how Mephisto would continue his conspiracy after he took away the Saint Vanganza Contract, so he drove away from Texas directly.
Now, he came to another location that interested him.
"Wow, it's really lively!"
Looking at a group of people gathered around a hammer in a pit, each trying to lift it from the ground with all their strength, and the onlookers cheering from time to time, Colin got off the motorcycle and blended into the crowd.
His original goal was here. Although he encountered some accidents and more enemies along the way, he also gained great benefits and did not miss this opportunity.
"Pick up the Hammer Contest?"
He could hear the discussions of the surrounding residents everywhere. He listened for a while and had a general understanding of what was going on.
The hammer fell yesterday evening, and when the first person discovered it and realized the specialness of the hammer, the residents here took this opportunity to hold a competition where whoever picked up the hammer could take it away.
Although he had known that such a thing would happen, he was limited by the fact that he only knew the landing site was in New Mexico but did not know which specific town it was. He missed the opportunity to find a way to conceal it and study it slowly, and could only accept the current situation.
After a moment of hesitation, he pushed aside the crowd around him and walked down.
A man who was in charge of hosting the event saw his actions and said unhappily, "Hey, kid, it's old Joseph's turn now, it's not your turn yet!"
"I have no interest in owning the hammer, I just want to take a closer look."
He shrugged and the people around him were a little dissatisfied, but after seeing that he had slipped from the edge of the pit, no one was willing to run down and bring him up.
Ignoring the thoughts of the people above, he walked up to a bearded man with veins bulging in his arms, who was trying his best to lift the hammer, and squatted down to look at him.
Thor's hammer is a magical equipment of artifact level, and it is forged with a forging method that is different from his system. As long as some information can be parsed out, not only will his own forging level be improved through the mutual verification, but he can also have a clearer understanding of the more mainstream forging methods in the universe through it.
This information should be of great help to him when he travels to other races and civilizations in the universe one day.
With a long breath, the bearded man sat on the ground in vain.
However, he seemed unwilling to fail like this, and turned his attention to me.
"Boy! Who told you to come down! You have seriously affected me!" He said this loudly, staring with his eyes and making a threatening gesture.
After hearing this, Colin looked up and stood up.
"Can I regard your actions as picking a fight?"
He stepped hard on the ground with his left foot, causing spider-web-like cracks to appear on the ground that had become as hard as stone after being hit by the hammer.
Seeing the bearded man stammering and not daring to say anything, he squatted down again and examined the hammer in his own way.
He is just an ordinary person who can't bear his own failure and tries to push everything onto others. They are even worse than those thugs. They can be easily solved by simply intimidating them and telling them that this person is someone they can never afford to offend.
Everything that happened afterwards was just as he had expected. Although the bearded man looked hesitant and seemed to want to say a few harsh words, he looked at the cracks on the ground and left without saying a word.
But things did not end there. When he returned to the top, his extremely strong hearing due to his high hearing attribute allowed him to hear the bearded man's complaints. However, after paying a little attention and hearing the man's decision to ignore his choice, he withdrew his attention.
He simply wanted to analyze the hammer and had no intention of monopolizing it or disrupting the event.
It would be best if we could achieve a situation where both parties do not interfere with each other.
The candidates who came to challenge failed one after another, and the rules changed from not being able to use props in the beginning to being able to use almost anything in the end, as long as they could move the hammer they would win.
During this time, there were some curious people who talked to him, but as he ignored them, fewer and fewer people paid attention to him.
“Interesting way.”
He sat on the ground and whispered. The noisy surroundings had no effect on him. The use of several skill points had enabled him to enter deep thought at any time and in any place.
Although only a few hours had passed in the analysis of Thor's hammer, he had to say that he had gained a lot. Some of the superposition methods of magic energy and the arrangement of array patterns gave him a lot of inspiration.
And this is just what he has analyzed so far. There are many more techniques incorporated into it that he cannot understand in a short period of time.
Looks like I need to stay a little longer... he thought to himself.
It is not known when the next opportunity to explore the unique skills of the dwarves will be. Even for the sake of such precious knowledge, he should stay as long as possible without getting too deeply involved in Odin's family affairs.
"Hey! Get out of the way, bro!"
A white young man holding a thick iron chain and wearing a baseball cap on his head spoke to him with a smile on his face.
He looked up at the cheering atmosphere around him and the car parked on the edge of the pothole, nodded thoughtfully, and stood aside.
Watching Colin stand up, the young man in the baseball cap happily wrapped the chain around the handle of the hammer and made an OK gesture to the old man driving the car.
The car started suddenly and the chain was tightened. The crowd cheered loudly, but after a stalemate, the started car broke down and suddenly a loud sigh was heard.
Colin watched calmly, and when the young man in the baseball cap untied the chain with a look of disappointment, he came to the hammer again.
"I really don't know what material this hammer is made of!" The young man in the peaked cap muttered. Looking at Colin who was walking over, he asked curiously, "I remember you have been watching from the side since this morning. Do you recognize this hammer? Or is there something else interesting about it?"
Many people here are curious about this strange yellow man, and even made a bet among the young people to see who can find out the truth.
However, this guy's attitude has always been a bit annoying, and he is prepared to be ignored.
"This is a magic hammer."
To his surprise, the strange man in front of him looked up and actually answered his question.
Although this answer sounded so absurd to him.
