Katie couldn't help but go soft again. She sat down again and said hesitantly, "Brother Billy ?" Brother. Make one for me. " Katie rarely spoke in such a low voice. Her face was a little unnatural. Roche laughed when he saw Katie's helpless look.

Katie glared back at Loki and said angrily, "Are you going to do it or not?" Luo Qi laughed out loud and said, "Do it, do it! Why don't you do it? Your voice sounds really nice." Katie turned her head so that Rocky wouldn't see her embarrassed face. Luo Qi saw that Katie didn't say anything and began to eat with a peaceful heart.

After dinner, Katie took Rocky to his workplace. The studio was not far from the residential area. It was a large courtyard with all kinds of artisans working there. Lodge's studio was next to the carpenter's. There were 20 to 30 sculptors inside. They were all concentrating on carving their own work. They were not doing it for work. When they were not working, this was the place where they studied their work.

When Katie brought Lodge in, Lodge was surprised that the craftsmen did not salute her, but continued their work, some not even lifting their heads. Actually, the Ulan Took Empire had such a rule. Any craftsman could not be polite when creating a work of art, as it would not easily cause the inspiration to vanish.

Catti-brie arranged a corner for Rocky, and named it as Rocky's. The tools here were very complete, unlike a place to chop wood, which was either a machete or an axe. Loki chose a piece of wood, found a sharp knife, and began his first job as a craftsman.

Without any fancy movements, Loki's carving speed was not fast and seemed to be very serious. Katie did not leave, but waited patiently for Loki's creation. The knife was much easier to handle than the axe, and although Rocky had deliberately slowed down, it was fast enough for Katie. Loki's movements were fluid, and where the wood was hard and knotted, Loki's knife slipped like tofu, as if the wood itself were not knotted.

When Lodge came upon a dragon's head, there were a number of sculptors gathered at the edge. They were attracted by Lodge's stereoscopic carving technique. They knew how to carve with a large volume, but small scale carvings were not that simple. A single careless slash could destroy the entire piece of work. This required a very deep cutting technique. Knife movements required finger force, fluency, and imagination. A misconception would also destroy the entire work.

Loki didn't intend to waste too much time, so he started using his usual speed. Creation is for people to enjoy themselves, but Lodge is not creating, he is just repeating the previous work, and then become boring. The dragon's head, body, and wings slowly revealed a life-like dragon in front of them.

Lodge, unlike the master craftsman, did not care for his tools. When he was done, he threw the knife on the table, stuck the point in it, and handed the dragon to Katie, who was still staring at the stunned dragon. Catti-brie quickly took it and carefully looked it up and down. It wasn't just Katie who was watching, but the craftsmen as well, and this was even more precious to them because they were more adept at knowing how difficult it was to create such a work.

Loki didn't bother them. He dusted off the wood shavings on his body and then dusted off his hands. His day's work was done just like that, and he was in no mood to study his work here. Unfortunately, he knew it wouldn't last long, and it would be over soon.

On the way back, Katie carefully held the dragon in her arms. This dragon was even more lifelike than the previous one. After all, Loki used a knife, which was much easier to use than an axe. Luo Qi saw that Katie's cautious look was quite amusing, so he approached her and shouted at the back of her neck, "Hello." Catti-brie hugged the statue and ran away. "Billy, don't joke with me. You'll break the statue." Loki shrugged. He didn't feel anything precious about a work that could be done in less than an hour.

Loki said to Katie, "Katie, it seems I've forgotten another thing." "What's the matter?" Katie said snappily. Luo Qi seemed to seriously think about it and said, "I heard you call me Billy just now and gave you this thing. You won't go back on your word, will you?" Katie didn't answer. She quickened her pace.

However, Loki stopped and said to her back, "Good, very good. This is my last work." Only after hearing his words did Katie turn around. She coldly looked at him and shouted, "Big brother!" Loki pricked his ears and said, "Do you have a grudge against me? I've never heard anyone call someone 'big brother' before.

Katie's shout drew a person. He was the first prince of the empire of Kelvin Chaffen, who had been the heir to the house of the empire, but who had embezzled the empire's taxes and funds for its salvation, and who had caused so much riots that he had almost split them. It was only in his fury that King Ulan Tooku was able to dispense with his inheritance and determine the succession of Kelvin Katrina. Although he had lost the right to inherit, his influence within the empire was not small. After all, he was the former successor.

He was the ugliest young man Roche had ever seen. Kelvin Chaffin was fifty-two years old and would be middle-aged even in eight years on the continent. His face was shaped, his eyes were triangular, and there was a mole on his nose. He walked over to Rocky and Katie. Katie greeted him with the statue, and Loki just bowed.

Roche could tell from the look in his mother's eyes that the prince coveted Katie. It wasn't a day or two that Kelvin Chaffin had been thinking about Katie, but he didn't dare. This Katie was his sister, Kelvin Katrina's most trusted follower. He had asked for her a few times, but she had chased him away.

Kelvin Chaffin felt the same way about both Katie and his sister, Kelvin Katrina. His mother, Kelvin Annabelle, was the sister of King Ulantukwyn Emery, so the relationship between brother and sister was not a hindrance to him. Kelvin Chaffin was about to go over and help Katie, who hurried to her feet.

Kelvin Chaffin said carelessly, "Katie, why did you come here? This sort of dirty place will only pollute your purity. " Katie replied, "No, Lord Kelvin Chaffin, they are hardworking people. "Now that I'm leaving, will you let me go?"
