I didn’t expect that Zach, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, could be so good at playing tricks.

I held up my umbrella and was about to leave the ranch to settle the score with Zach. But as soon as I opened the wooden fence gate and walked around the corner of the house, an iron head hit my chest.

"100% killed around the corner... I actually forgot that I still have such a curse attribute..."

This thing hasn't happened for so long that I almost forgot that it happened. As a result, reality taught me a harsh lesson today. Tell me, don't think that this thing will be over if it doesn't happen for the time being...

Forget it if he is an ordinary person. The person who bumped into me has a bald head and a vague metallic luster. He is full of the aura of a strong man at first glance. Although he is not tall and old, his figure is due to years of exercise.

He is extraordinarily strong due to his smelting career.

"Old Sebala, why is it you!"

I rubbed my sternum and felt that if it went any lower, my ribs might be broken. Why was he running to me so hurriedly so early in the morning?

Could it be that he is just like Zach and wants to plot against me?

Thinking of this, my expression suddenly became serious, and my eyes were full of questions and scrutiny.

Sebala, on the other hand, acted like a normal person and didn't care about the collision just now. He was worthy of being a guy who beats his grandson every day. He was so needlessly old and strong!

"Marcus, I'm here to ask you something!" Sebala looked at me seriously, "Gray has been acting strangely lately. He hides in his room every day and you come out. Do you know the reason?"

Look, I’m telling you that it’s totally unnecessary for you to be strong! You must be beating him every day. Now that the rebellious period is here, what do you do? You only know corporal punishment and don’t give him the correct teachings at all. It’s not like what I imparted to him.

His Batman spirit...

...Wait a minute, Batman?

Could it be that Gray has gained some new insights and is going to do some heroic deeds?

I asked Sebala a little guiltily: "What's Gray's strange method? Please tell me in detail."

"Actually, everything was normal the past few days." Sebala sat down on the chair in front of me and explained what happened.

"A few days ago, I left the town to find an old friend and took care of some things. After I came back, I felt that Gray was much more eager to learn. He kept asking me for advice on crafting skills and would take the initiative to create orders every day. The whole person

It’s completely different from the disobedient behavior before.”

"But after two days, he started to lock himself in the house all day long, doing something mysteriously. Sometimes I went to drink, and I found signs of use on the forging platform, but when I asked

He came and denied it."

"I feel helpless when Gray is like this. Let's say he is disobedient. He never procrastinates and is lax when it comes to building orders every day, and he learns very quickly. But if we say he is obedient, he refuses to tell me anything.

Stop talking to me after you finish your duties."

Sebala's old face was full of loneliness, just like an ordinary empty nester talking about sad things about his children, which made me feel a little sympathetic and guilty.

"Now I don't even have a chance to hit him. I'm really not used to it! Marcus, what do you think I should do?"

Give me back my touch!

You old bastard just can't beat your grandson because your hands feel itchy!

What do you think I should do? Let me reflect on what I have done!

"...I think you think too much. It's a good thing that Gray has his own ideas. Isn't it a natural law for children to grow up?"

Sabara thought for a while, and maybe he thought what I said made sense, but he was a little uncomfortable with his sudden growth. But he still said: "Marcus, this kid Gray seems to listen to you more. Please help me."

How about taking a look at what he is doing? If you think it's okay after reading it, then I'll be relieved."

"Okay." I thought for a while, I have to pay attention to Gray's side. After all, there are Batman factors involved, so I can't turn a deaf ear.

By the way, what did I want to do when I went out just now?

Forget it, forget it, it is definitely not important.

…………

"Ah sneeze!"

Zach suddenly sneezed at the beach house and quickly poured himself another cup of hot water, deciding to pick up the goods later today.

…………

It was still the familiar Saibala Blacksmithing House. The wall near the forging platform was covered with traces of smoke, and the furnishings of the house were also the same old-school.

This is not only a place in the town where various tools are made, but as long as you bring enough gem materials, Sebala can also make jewelry that girls like.

"...Old Sebala, why do you have to do a voiceover while I'm observing?"

"Hey, I'm introducing this place to you, Marcus! I probably haven't told you about it yet, right?" Sebala looked innocent.

I said helplessly: "Old Sebala, you actually mentioned it yourself, so let me ask you by the way, do you only make farm tools and jewelry here? Don't you make weapons and the like?"

If Sebala taught Gray how to make weapons, wouldn't there be so many things? Does Sebala not know how, or doesn't he want to teach?

"Things like weapons..." Saibala said dissatisfied, "No matter how many times I ask, my answer is always the same. That kind of thing has long been outdated. Swords, guns, and armor have long been swept into the trash heap of history.

I can't even dig it out. The mainstream nowadays is guns! It's ships! It's products that can't be produced by handicrafts in a lifetime!"

"I didn't expect that old Sebala, you look like an antique, but your thinking is very progressive!" I was a little surprised to hear him say this.

According to Sebala's usual image, he looks exactly like the kind of elm head soaked in alcohol. Shouldn't he be shouting "You have science, I have magic!" and rush forward to confront him?

Sebala roared with dissatisfaction: "What kind of stereotype are you talking about! I am always learning new knowledge! I am not that kind of old antique!"

He pulled out several books from under the table and placed them on the table. They were crumpled and full of reading notes.

"I have known about the obsolescence of swords and armors hundreds of years ago! This is my self-study of "Principles of Engineering Machinery" and "Fundamentals of Material Science", and I also made mayonnaise, cheese, and wool for Mucci and Lilia

Processing machine!”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but applaud! An old rural craftsman like Sebala, not only knew ahead of his time, but also took the initiative to change the way he worked and devoted his energy to manufacturing these processing machines.

In such a comparison, Gray, who only wants to be a weapons master, seems extremely out of date. In front of a machine gun, can he win with swords and swords? How can a hand-made weapon compare to the precision of lathe processing?

Even a system-savvy guy like me wouldn't dare to fight others with primitive weapons, right?

"Okay, old Sebala, I wrongly blamed you. I'll go up and try to persuade Gray. But don't have too many illusions. Your grandson is capable of being stubborn enough to be your grandfather."
