Chapter 103: Breaking the Net
The eyes of everyone present followed the shout and cast their eyes on the door of the furnace of flames.
The door that had been hidden was forcibly pushed open, and several Freddy family guards at the door were also pushed aside. With the dazzling sunlight outside the door, two figures, one tall and one short, walked in.
Theresia, the patriarch of the Freddy family, blinked her eyes stinged by the sunlight and finally adjusted to the light around her. But when she saw the figure of the person who came clearly, two eyebrows immediately rose, and hatred and anger immediately filled her wrinkled face.
Standing in front of her was the enemy of the Freddie family, a little bastard named Adella.
Adella took on the hateful gaze of Madame Freddy and the hostile gaze of the nobles around her, but she raised her head fearlessly, calmly thinking of Master Niels walking over. At this moment, the brooch of the Royal Summoning Academy was pinned to the clothes on her left breast, shining
Unique magic fluorescence. The authority represented by that magical light allowed Adelia to ignore the presence of these enemies.
Givens followed Adelia as his gaze swept over the hall, and two scenes in the hall caught his attention, and right in front of him, a richly dressed old elf was asking Master Niels, and Master Niels had a very bad expression and seemed to be caught up
Big trouble, it seems that the old man is a very remarkable person. On the other side of the hall, a young female elf was being wriggled by the guards, and it looked like she was the second-hand dealer who had been rumored to have been caught.
The two scenes immediately made Gievan vaguely guess the ins and outs of what happened, Master Niels secretly bought the black market cold iron presumably by Mrs. Freddy, and the old woman was working with her accomplices to force Master Niels to tell the truth.
As soon as he thought of this, Jiwen immediately shouted at the young second-hand dealer who was twisted again.
"So you're here, did I bring the cold iron I wanted?"
The second-hand merchant Xiyue's eyes lit up, and then Ji Wen's words replied: "I brought it as agreed, but these big people in the city have detained the cold iron. ”
Jiwen glanced at Mrs. Freddy, and then continued to say to Xiyue: "I don't care about your grievances with them, but I want my cold iron. ”
"Where did this clown come from! Get rid of him?"
Theresia interrupted the conversation and rushed to Given's face, and it seemed to Lady Freddy that the appearance of the shabby-dressed, dejected-looking middle-aged elf in her sight was an insult to her noble status.
"Stop, he's my friend Copperbeard. ”
Adelia stopped in front of Traesia without showing any weakness, and then glared at the Freddie guards who were trying to surround her. The silent threat made the guards stop for a moment.
"Don't think I can't do anything about you if you bring the Royal Summoning Academy badge, little bastard. ”
Theresia looked down at Adella and coldly threatened.
"You don't have the right to threaten me if you can't even wear a badge. ”
Facing the patriarch of the Freddy family, Adelia went against the tone of her previous words and confronted Theresia instead. Now that she learns of the conspiracy that Teresia has made, it's time to get justice for her and her friends.
Adelia's confrontation and sarcasm made Teresia's expression distort, and her originally old cheeks suddenly became hideous. But just as Tresia's anger was about to erupt, Master Gaspar interrupted the confrontation between the two,
"Can you two calm down first? I want to finish my question,"
Master Gaspar came from the royal capital, of course he knew what the badge of the Royal Summoning Academy meant, and this little girl could become a high-ranking official in the kingdom or a star in the summoners' guild in two or three hundred years, and maybe he would have something to ask for at that time. He didn't want to leave it at that
Caught up in a dispute that doesn't do you any good for your future. Of course, out of politeness, he could not refute Mrs. Freddy, who had invited him, so he chose to nip the conflict in the bud.
Madame Freddie did not dare to disobey Master Gaspar's will, and after squeezing out a smile to the master, she turned and walked to the edge of the hall, and Adelia turned her head when she saw this, and walked back to Given, and the hall was quiet again.
This sudden accident relieved Niels, the owner of the Flame Furnace.
He almost despaired when he faced the master's questioning just now, but now that Mr. Copperbeard and Adelia had walked into the hall, after listening to the conversation between Mr. Copperbeard and Xiyue, the flame of hope rekindled in his heart.
"Master Gaspar, I don't know where these cold irons come from. But now I guess this cold iron is supposed to be a trade between Mr. Copperbeard and this merchant named Xiyue. ”
Master Gaspar frowned, although the dress of this Mr. Copperbeard made the master who was accustomed to the life of the royal capital very uncomfortable, he still held back his unhappiness and asked out loud, "Mr. Copperbeard, you said you were going to buy cold iron today?"
"Yes, I made an appointment with Xiyue to make a deal here. Givan quickly took the name he had heard from Master Niels's words.
Master Gaspar looked back at the second-hand dealer Xiyue, and then asked.
"Then Mr. Copperbeard, what is the use of you buying cold iron?"
Before Jiwen could answer, Theresia who was standing aside grabbed the conversation: "They can only buy cold iron to process crystal disks privately, which is an extremely dangerous thing for the safety of the city." ”
Ji Wen impatiently interrupted the old woman who had repeatedly opposed him, and asked, "Old lady, there is no law in the kingdom that prohibits cold iron from being traded, right?
"Are you a deal?" Tresia sneered, "since it's a deal, what is Mr. Copperbeard going to use to pay for these cold irons, you must know that cold iron is a very valuable thing, and it is not something that people like you can touch casually." ”
Theresia looked at Given's shabby appearance and smirked, but the bright smile only lasted for a moment, because a second later, a heavy voice resounded through the hall.
"Smack!"
A cloth bag smashed to the ground, and the slightly open mouth of the cloth bag revealed the unique golden light of gold coins. The surrounding guards and nobles let out exclamations when they saw this bag of gold coins, they didn't expect such an inconspicuous middle-aged elf to come up with such a large sum of money at once.
"I didn't bring any change today, but it should be enough to buy a few pieces of cold iron, what do you think?" Jiwen deliberately pretended to be nonchalant and then asked rhetorically. The money came from the honorarium that Adelia had received from the arena, which they had originally given to Master Niels as a reward, but unexpectedly it was used in this place.
In the face of Jiwen's counterattack, Teresia's face turned pale, and her breathing became rapid with anger, she did not expect that the other party would be able to come up with such a large sum of money as if by magic. Seeing that Mrs. Freddy's expression changed abnormally, Master Gaspar spoke up again to prevent the situation from escalating again.
"Okay, I don't think you can argue about this anymore. Mr. Copperbeard, I believe you are the true buyer of these cold irons. But as far as I know, there are only a few uses for cold iron, so what are you buying cold iron for?"
