Volume 1 The Siege of the Empire Chapter 110 Mother and Son Meet
"That's right, you need the talent of the iron element, yes. ”
Seeing that Captain Sainz had helped him think of the reason, Charles hurriedly agreed vaguely, and in the voice of the father and son, he changed the topic and said:
"Won't you give this sword a name?"
Generally speaking, it is the foundry that names the weapons, but since Charles said so, Captain Sainz also unceremoniously patted Yilman's vest and said:
"Yirman, you are its master, so you will choose the name. ”
"Although this sword has a hollow heart, the sword heart is my heart, so let's call him a concentric sword. Yilman pondered for a moment, finally deciding on the name of the sword.
"Ah, it's really ugly, I already knew that I had a name, and it was better than this to call it thunder and autumn rain or something!" Charles complained to himself.
I didn't think about it, but I heard Mebis retort ruthlessly: "Do you have any misunderstanding of your own aesthetics?"
The concentric sword was born, and Charles finally had a matter on his mind.
While Captain Sainz was here, he inquired about Clive, an employee of his iron shop.
"It's up to you to get to that level. ”
Captain Sainz was clearly prepared, and was not surprised by Charles's questioning.
"What's wrong? are there still many layers?" said Charles, surprised.
A few years ago, he was introduced to the Griffin family and was hired by the Griffin family to take care of the iron shop, but the business of the iron shop has not been good since Jonathan joined the army, and the money he earned was barely enough to pay Clive's salary.
Later, Jonathan had to discuss with Clive how much he earned that month, so he paid Clive's salary first.
Gradually, the income from the ironsmith shop was cut off, and every time I asked, it was not enough to pay Clive's salary.
Until, last year, the news of Jonathan's death came from the family, and Anna was sad and had no intention of asking about the ironsmith at all.
Yesterday, the city defense army arrested Clive overnight, and only then did the first trial know that he had long owed the Rift Club loan shark, and he couldn't pay it off at all, so how could he have the money to buy iron to make ironware?
As soon as the ironware in the store was sold out, he was forced to have no choice but to temporarily rent the shop to the Rift Society without the Griffin's family.
"In Clive's case, according to the laws of the Empire, he would have to eat three years in prison at the least. At this time, Captain Sainz had already put away his battle gang, spread his hands, and concluded.
"Captain, please ask Rhodes again, how much did it cost to clean up here, so that the Rift Club will pay for it, as for Clive......"
After understanding the matter, Charles just wants to get out of this mud pit as soon as possible: "It's a few years, I'm too lazy to care about him." ”
He pointed to the concentric sword in Yilman's hand, "By the way, there is a matter, can you two help me keep this secret?"
The father and son invariably remembered Charles's frighteningly weak appearance just now, is there any price to pay for making this weapon?
Yillman asked worriedly, "Is there any price you pay for making such a weapon?"
Charles scratched his head and smiled noncommittally, that is, a large amount of mental power is consumed, which is not a price for a magician.
But his indifferent smile was particularly meaningful in the eyes of the father and son.
Looking at his weak appearance, it was almost a sign of exhaustion of mental power, he had just begun to cultivate magic, how could he withstand such a toss?
The father and son frowned in unison, and were about to say something, when Charles suddenly asked:
"Yilman, is that auction house on the Avenue of the Winds an estate owned by the Swan family?"
Seeing Charles talking to him left and right, Yilman was even more sure of his guess, he and his father looked at each other, and couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in their hearts, and quickly replied, "Yes, what are you going to do?"
"I'm going to entrust an auction house to sell a weapon, a weapon like the Concentric Sword. ”
"No!" When Captain Sainz heard this, he immediately shook his head: "You don't want to die?
Charles hurriedly shook his hand and said, "No, no, it's really not in the way..."
However, the father and son decided that this sword-forging technique was extremely destructive, and would even affect Charles's magic foundation, and no matter how Charles explained, he still persuaded him vigorously.
In the end, Charles could only say that he had cast a handful before, and the father and son looked pale.
Finally said that the two of them were moved, and Charles rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "Commander, how much can a magic weapon be sold for when it is the cheapest?"
"It's... The last time the Magic Breaker was traded, it was before the Beast Tide came, I remember-" Captain Sainz was just an ordinary Chosen One who had just left the academy at that time, and a trade like this was too far away for him.
"It was sold for 5,300 gold coins. "Ihlman was in and out of the Swan house a lot, and knew more about these things than his father.
Five thousand three hundred gold coins... When Captain Sainz heard this number, his scalp was numb.
He looked at the concentric sword in Yilman's hand, this was not just a spell-breaking divine weapon, this was a law-breaking divine weapon tailored for Yilman.
If you come across this sword in the auction house, you will have to buy it even if it is 10,000 gold.
This favor can't be repaid......
In the end, the father and son of Sainz agreed to Charles's request, and after repeatedly thanking Charles, they took their leave and left.
With no outsiders watching, Charles let go of his stomach and wiped out the feast of ten people.
After a brief breath, he looked up at the sun, which was close to noon.
In a recent letter to his home, he mentioned that he would go home once in the next two days, and he was afraid that his mother would be in a hurry, so he hurriedly took Jim's family, called a carriage at random, and rushed home.
The carriage ran through the streets of the South Outer Ring, getting closer and closer to home, but Charles's mood became more and more uneasy.
The last time he came home, he mistakenly thought he was Charles Lee, and when he was reunited with his mother, there was always some inexplicable estrangement.
And now that he has found his true self, he can't help but feel a little excited at the thought of seeing his mother.
"This young master, do you think this is here?"
The coachman carefully tightened the reins and parked the car on the side of the road, which was full of nobles, and he did not want to cause trouble.
Charles lifted the curtain of the car, and at a glance saw the small red brick building with a single courtyard and the familiar thin figure in the courtyard.
He threw the coachman a silver coin, and hurried out of the car and ran into the courtyard.
"Mother! Mother!"
Anna was watering flowers in the courtyard, and when she heard the call of her thoughts day and night, she immediately put down what she was doing and greeted her.
Jonathan's sacrifice was over, and she changed back into her usual plain blue dress, with a dark brown fur shawl wrapped around her shoulders.
Charles strode into the courtyard, holding his mother's hand, and the feelings of longing hidden in his heart in the past suddenly came up, and unconsciously, his eyes were red again.
"Silly boy, what are you crying about. Seeing that her son was still this small sticky appearance, Anna was worried and happy, and tears fell with her.
In fact, as a mother, her mind is the most delicate.
When Charles came back a few months ago, for some reason, Anna always felt that her son had changed.
I can't say what's wrong, but his dependence on himself is very different from the past.
Now that Charles has returned to his former childlike clinginess and intimacy, the estrangement between mother and son has finally been resolved.
The mother and son talked for a while, and then remembered that they had to meet the newly acquired vassals today.
Charles beckoned to Jim, signaling that he was ready to come in.
After being greeted by Charles, Jim respectfully walked into the courtyard.
Anna cleaned up her mood, generously accepted Jim's formal kneeling salute, and then said indifferently:
"Alright, let them come in and go inside. ”
Once inside, Charles introduced Nina and little Liz to his mother.
Nina is generally knowledgeable, has complete etiquette, and little Liz is well-behaved and lovely, which Anna likes very much.
In the space of a couple of sentences, Anna could see that Nina had a clear mind and a smart stutter, which was much stronger than Jim. So she asked Nina about Leonard's situation.
Talking about the Leonard family now having no relatives, Anna nodded slightly.
"Little master, quick, try my new pastry!"
The voice of the maid Helen came from the back kitchen, and with it, there was a faint smell of burnt.
I saw Helen, who was tall and tall, running out of the kitchen with brisk and pleasant steps, holding a large plate full of pastries.
Seeing the strangely shaped pastries, Charles couldn't help but feel a tingle on his scalp, and subconsciously hid behind Anna.
Anna raised a snow-white palm and motioned for Helen to slow down.
Seeing that Helen put the pastry on the table with some disappointment, she turned around and introduced the maid who had been with her since she was a child to the Jim family.
"Aunt Helen. The cake looked delicious, and Liz hadn't smelled it. ”
After getting to know each other, Liz looked at the pastries on the table and asked Helen curiously.
"Does Lizzy want to eat it?" asked Helen in surprise, taking a half-blackened pale yellow pastry from her plate, holding it in her hand, and handing it over.
"Liz ......"
Looking at the tragically shaped pastry in Helen's hand, Charles stopped talking.
Liz had already stretched out her hand, and when she heard Charles's voice, she retracted it again, and raised her head again, and there was already a pool of crystal water in the corner of her eye.
I heard her whisper timidly, "Uncle, can't you eat this?"
The pitiful look of caution made everyone worry, and for a while, Charles didn't know how to answer.
Also?
Anna glared at Charles, got up and took the pastry from Helen's hand, carefully peeled off the charred part, and then took Liz's small hand and said softly:
"You can eat it, but you have to eat it like this. ”
Liz glanced at Charles again, and saw that he smiled bitterly and nodded to indicate that he could eat it, and then Zhanyan took the pale yellow pastry handed by Anna, and said sweetly:
"Thank you, uncle's mother!
With a slight burnt sweetness blooming in her mouth, Liz's little face was filled with a happy smile.
Charles picked up a piece of the letter suspiciously, peeled off the blackened part like his mother, hesitated, and put it into his mouth.
"Oh, Aunt Helen, this is really delicious!"
The strange sweetness was far beyond Charles's imagination, and he couldn't help but sigh that it really depended on luck to eat the food made by Aunt Helen.
