"Just go ahead without worrying. Whatever you want made, your Uncle Wu can forge it to perfection, exactly to your liking," Zuo Changlu said.
"He's that amazing...?"
Zuo Xiaonian and Zuo Xiaoduo clearly found that somewhat hard to believe.
Once they went inside, the many smithing tools that met their eyes were all extraordinary. Mainly, they looked genuinely strange. The furnace, hammers, blower... everything differed from what the two remembered and understood, but every necessary smithing implement was there.
Every accomplished smith would custom-make a set of tools that suited his own hands, so that was hardly surprising.
But what was with the bronze man standing over there? His figure and bearing were no different from a living person's, truly lifelike.
When the family of three came in, the bronze man actually moved before the two youngsters' dumbfounded eyes and smiled. "Brother Zuo, are these your daughter and son? They really are a dragon and phoenix among people!"
Zuo Changlu smiled. "This is your Uncle Wu. His name is Wu Tiejiang. Be sure to remember it."
Zuo Xiaonian and Zuo Xiaoduo stood at the doorway, both utterly dumbfounded, speechless for a long while.
Damn, we really thought he was a bronze statue just now!
Uncle Wu really lived up to being a blacksmith. He'd practically turned himself into a bronze statue!
That bronze skin, bronze face, and bronze hands were simply too... realistic, weren't they?
Standing by the door, or anywhere else, he was the very image of a solid bronze statue.
"Hello, Uncle Wu."
The siblings quickly recovered their wits and bowed respectfully in unison.
"Mm, no need for formalities. Just tell me what you want forged. I'll get started and finish as soon as possible." Uncle Wu was clearly impatient by nature and went straight to the point.
