On this day, Merkel came to the blacksmith shop as usual. The difference was that this time, there was one more person around him.
“This is my friend, Victor Brian.”
Victor was obviously not satisfied with the introduction and glared at Merkel, who reluctantly added: “A naturalist.”
The naturalist was thin and tall, with a grey robe suspected of its original color, with fluffy curly hair piled on his big head, like a broom stuck to the ground. This scene gave Richard a false impression: the so-called naturalist is a kind of respectful title for beggars.
In fact, strictly speaking, Mr. Victor is just a naturalist enthusiast. The bullshit papers he sent to the Mainland Natural History Society (the original words of the directors of the Society) have never been adopted by the Society’s publications. However, this small setback could not stop his unremitting pursuit of truth.
“This small setback cannot stop my unremitting pursuit of truth!” Every time he receives a reply that he refuses to hire, he will shout his famous quotes and then devote himself to the next bullshit paper. The leaders and colleagues of the Telles Magic Academy complained about his inappropriate practice. That’s right, Mr. Victor is a magician and a professor at the Tres School of Magic.
“Where is the sword? Where is the sword?” Victor was obviously impatient. Before Merkel could introduce him to the father and son, he yelled to see the sword.
Merkel had long been used to his style, and made a helpless expression to Donner, and said to Richard, “Richard, can you lend your sword to Mr. Victor to see?”
Richard looked at his brother, who gave him a positive look, so he untied the sword around his waist and handed it to Victor together with the scabbard.
Victor reached out to take it, pulled his sword out of the sheath, and found another place with the right light and looked carefully. There is no fluctuation of magic elements. I have never seen the pattern in front of me before, but it is definitely not a magic circle. The lines on it do not conform to the basic principles of magic circle drawing. It doesn’t look like a totem of a dwarf or a dwarf.
He tried to speak: “Merkel, you’re right. These patterns are the key to the problem.” While saying that, he glanced at Donner in his eyes. Seeing that Donner’s expression had not changed, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued: “These patterns were carved with steel knives…” He dragged the long tone, and glanced at Donner’s expression of laughter, and immediately changed his words: “…got? Obviously not!”
Merkel felt that his old face might have been red. He didn’t expect that the only improvement of his old friend over the years was that his face was thicker.
Victor touched the pattern on the sword and tried to release his mental power. Strangely, this pattern penetrates deep into the sword body, intertwined and entangled. The pattern is the same material, but it is slightly different.
“Awesome,This pattern actually penetrated deep into the sword body. “This time he saw Donner’s surprise expression in the aftermath of his life.
Donner didn’t know his identity as a magician, and didn’t expect that he could use mental power to sense it. He thought he was entirely relying on observation. If this were the case, then Victor might not be far from the answer to the mystery.
“Okay, the problem is solved. “Victor said proudly: “The inside of this sword is entangled and layered with materials of different properties, so it is both hard and tough, and has an interesting structure! ”
“Can you tell how it was built? Merkel asked.
“Build? Oh, Merkel, I think you’ve misunderstood, you have to know that we naturalists are only responsible for observing and explaining the essence of things. As for how you mentioned how to build it, it is just a small engineering problem. Old man, it seems that you are too influenced by those suffocating Yankees. I really need to explain to you more the profound and greatness of naturalism. “
“But you came here just to solve the mystery of the creation of this sword? “
“That was because I thought you discovered a new magic circle here. I had a feeling that you deliberately misled me. How could I be interested in sword refining? Do you think I am the short guys in the filthy land? “
Although Donner didn’t know who the dwarfs in the filthy land were, this didn’t sound like a compliment. But since he was regarded as a mute by everyone, he could only suppress his curiosity.
“Sir?”, this was Richard’s voice.
Victor realized that his words just now were a little disrespectful to the father and son, and said embarrassedly: “Oh, sorry, please don’t get me wrong. I respect the craftsmen. I’m talking about those greedy dwarfs?”
