Chapter 127 Grandmaster Craftsman
Chapter 127 Grandmaster Craftsman
"Grandmaster craftsman?" Liu Chi said it subconsciously. This thing is much rarer than a master craftsman.
"Yes, do you want me to introduce you to him?" Janet smiled. She was very satisfied with Liu Chi's naive appearance.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Liu Chi, who was sitting on a chair, bowed slightly to Janet.
"let's go."
Janet stood up and gave a look to her maid. The maid stood there without moving, but watched Janet and Liu Chi walk further and further away.
"Let me tell you first, this Grandmaster likes quietness very much. When you meet him later, be sure not to disturb him."
Janet, who was walking in front, said this, and her voice reached Liu Chi's ears behind her.
Looking at Janet's tall back, Liu Chi understood the status of this master. Even the queen of the largest country in the West had to come in person.
The two wandered around the palace and finally stopped in front of a private courtyard.
In front of the courtyard wall, a pitch-black stone tablet with a metallic luster stands in front of the gate, on which is engraved a large word "Jing". Of course, the Jing here is the way it is written in the world of Liuchi.
Not long after the two stopped, a little boy came out of the yard.
"Master is not suitable to see guests today, please go back!"
The boy looked to be about five or six years old, and was lively and smart, but he had the look and attitude of an elderly man who was very health-conscious.
"Is your master drinking again?" Janet shook her head. She hadn't seen Ben often since she found out he was an alcoholic.
"Don't wrongly accuse my master. My master has important matters to attend to! Please ask the Queen and this young man to leave immediately!"
The boy looked at the two of them with some disdain. The master had reminded him that today was the most critical day and no one was allowed to disturb them.
"Oh?" Janet, who was used to it, didn't care what happened. After being fooled many times, Janet had attributed everything Ben said to drinking.
And now, Liu Chi was right next to him, and it was he who suggested looking for this master craftsman. If he retreated at this point, he would lose face.
For Liu Chi, who has never seen the world, I obviously can't let him think that I, a queen, am afraid of even my subordinates, Janet thought to herself.
"Go, I'm going to force my way in!"
It was obvious that the boy was no match for Janet and was knocked aside by her. In Janet's opinion, this little brat was very naughty and cruel. If she hadn't taken his master's face into consideration, she would have taught him a lesson long ago.
Seeing that persuasion was hopeless, the boy collapsed to the ground, crying, making a fuss, and rolling around, and started to act like a spoiled child.
Liu Chi seemed to have watched a big drama. Although he didn't ask anything, he seemed to understand everything.
Janet frowned as she looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar courtyard. After thinking for a while, she finally recognized the route. She didn't expect that it had been several years before she entered here again.
Pushing open the heavy iron door, there were only a few simple pieces of furniture inside. Janet looked around and walked in.
That's not right. With such a big commotion, shouldn't he have come out? Janet was puzzled. Shouldn't this old man be here? He can't be in the weapon refining room, right?
After observing for a while, Liu Chi confirmed that this place was indeed inhabited, but was the environment too bad? Black soil, bricks and stones made of sand, Liu Chi could not imagine that there was such a backward place in the palace.
"Don't look for it! If the things are lost, I will ask you to pay for it! My master is not here!"
Seeing that his cheating was futile, the boy followed them and saw the two people, who looked like thieves, sneaking around where he and his master lived.
"Is your master refining a weapon?" Janet asked.
Seeing the boy's reaction, Janet laughed, "Did your master receive a big order? He has to do it himself?"
"What is it to you?" The boy's tone was as if he had been encouraged, conceited and arrogant.
Janet walked towards the door, and the boy suddenly panicked. He couldn't stop the two people from breaking in just now, but now their only target was the weapon refining room. He was doomed!
"Don't move!" the boy yelled.
The shout of "Don't move" was like a magic that froze them, and both Janet and Liu Chi stopped.
"Little brat, what are you doing?" Janet kept walking without even turning her head.
"If you go any further, I'm going to hit you!" said the boy.
"Hehe~" Janet felt very funny. She just raised her hand and the boy was paralyzed and became stiff and unable to move.
"Let's go," Janet said, and stepped out the door.
At this moment, the boy, who remained stiff, had tears flowing from the corners of his eyes.
Master, you can't blame me.
At this time in the equipment refining room, a skinny old man with gray hair was busy. After several days of drinking, he almost forgot that today was the latest day to deliver the order.
The person who placed the order is a contestant in the Imperial College's freshman competition, and the weapons will have to be used in tomorrow's crucial semi-final.
Ben is currently taking the most critical step in weapon refining, which directly determines the quality of the weapon. In the view of the weapon refiner, even if it is based on the defense, as long as it is used properly, it has the potential to become a magic sword, but the name may not sound good.
The sword was crackling in the furnace. Ben used his fire-attribute magic to surround the entire furnace to heat it up. It wasn't the temperature that made him sweat, but his excessive nerves.
Even the most advanced weapon refiner cannot tolerate the slightest negligence. Even if the weapon is fired for an extra second, sometimes the difference can be worlds apart.
However, just when Ben was concentrating all his attention, the locked door of the refining room was blasted open by Janet's magic.
Ben was suddenly frightened and his whole body shook rapidly. Due to the fluctuation of magic elements, the weapons in the furnace instantly shattered into pieces.
Ben quickly concentrated and tried to save the situation, but after just a moment, Ben went berserk and failed.
"Who is so bold?" Ben hit the ground with his hands, but his anger made him feel no pain.
Janet reacted and realized that she might have gotten into trouble, but she realized that she was the queen, so she said.
"What? Is Uncle Ben going to kill me?"
Hearing Janet's voice, Ben immediately turned around and stood up. Although he was very angry, he did not complain at all, regardless of the fact that Janet was the queen.
After Ben figured out the background of the person who placed the order, he still did it with a fluke mentality. After all, who could resist bowing their heads in the face of such huge wealth?
It is illegal for outsiders to interfere in the freshman competition. After knowing the employer, Ben chose to continue the production, which is an aggravated crime.
"Nothing! I was just a little bored, so I decided to try it out!" Ben immediately apologized with a smile.
Janet noticed that Ben was very different from what he was a few years ago. She just thought that people would change over time and did not think that Ben's behavior was to cover up the illegal activities he was doing.
"I wonder why Queen Janet is looking for me? There's no need to drink." Ben saw Liu Chi behind Janet and knew that she must have come to ask him to make weapons.
