Chapter 131: The Flame Furnace's Dilemma
Far away in the Furnace of Fire, Master Gaspar had no idea that someone in the other world was thinking about him.
He just sat quietly in his room, playing with the cold iron magic ring in his hand, and waited silently.
The mysterious bronze whisker never reappeared, and he had expected that the mysterious middle-aged man would soon give in and ask himself to get the precious cold iron back.
What the hell was he waiting for? Now the only cold iron on the market was in his hands, and the merchants of the black market were far away from this dangerous business.
If he wants to get the crystal disk, he can only come to himself.
Just then, one of the attendants entered the room and informed Master Gaspar of the latest movements on the street.
"A new crystal disc has appeared?" Master Gaspar immediately stood up as soon as he changed his laziness from the previous moment.
"Yes, a lot of people have seen this strange thing. ”
After listening to the attendant's return, Master Gaspar fell into deep thought, trying to find a connection in these chaotic clues. After pondering for a long time, he commanded, "Let Niels come to my room." ”
After hearing the summons, Niels followed his attendants nervously to Master Gaspar's room.
But to his surprise, after Master Gaspar withdrew from the waiter, he did not say anything, but sat down on the chaise longue and took a nap.
After waiting for Niels for a long time, Master Gaspar woke up from his sleep, but after that he remained silent, looking at Niels silently.
"May I ask what the master called me over?"
Niels finally couldn't help it, and asked cautiously,
"Niels, have you heard that there has been a rumor circulating in the market lately that a former sheriff named Ares has gotten a crystal disk. ”
Niels chuckled in his heart, and sure enough, this was the case. He knew that the crystal must have been the work of Mr. Copperbeard. But in front of Master Gaspar, he still had to act like he didn't know.
"I've heard about it, and I'm wondering how he got his hands on it. ”
"I know it's not you. Master Gaspar waved his hand, "I have seen very clearly during my time in the Flame Forge that you can't make a crystal disk for someone else right under my nose. ”
When Niels heard this, he was immediately relieved. But Master Gaspar's next words made the atmosphere in the room suddenly tense.
"But in the entire Sodima area, I know all about the people who can make crystal disks, including the guild traitor hiding in the black market. But no one, including you, could make that powerful Ice Arrow Crystal Disc. ”
After speaking, Master Gaspar stared into Niels' eyes and asked word by word, "Niels, do you know anything about this matter?"
Master Gaspar had heard Mrs. Freddy say that the original smuggling of cold iron was related to Ares, and this time Ares regained the crystal disk, and Niels, as one of the parties involved, must know some clues.
But Niles took a deep breath and shook his head.
A hint of unhappiness flashed in Master Gaspar's eyes, and then he said calmly: "Then I can only report to the guild, it was you who illegally and privately ordered a crystal disk for that Ares." ”
Niels was so irritated by Master Gaspar's ruthlessness that he could barely speak, and if Master Gaspar's words were put into action, he would be in a miserable situation.
"Niels, don't get so excited, there's a way to save you," Master Gaspar tossed the cold iron in his hand upwards and grabbed it in the air.
"No, I'm not going to say anything. ”
Niels knew the value of the crystal disk's secrets, and he would never give it to Master Gaspar.
Looking at Niels's attitude, a sneer flashed on Master Gaspar's fat face.
"If that's the case, it's up to your friends to come here to prove your innocence. ”
Niels's attitude, as Gaspar expected, had asked his attendants to spread the news to the people of the Flame Forge that Niels was already suspected of having made a crystal disk and was facing the interrogation of Master Gaspar.
Soon, the news should reach Copperbeard's ears.
All he had to do was wait.
Gaspar was right, and only half a day later, the man he was expecting arrived at the Furnace of Fire.
Adella, Given, and Ares were taken to Master Gaspar's room by the attendants.
Adelia looked anxious, worried about Master Niels's safety, Ares looked around curiously, this was the first time he had gone deep into the blacksmith's shop, and only Given, dressed as Mr. Copperbeard, looked at the door in front of him with a calm and confident face.
Finally the door opened, and they were led by the attendants to the strange atmosphere.
"Hello, Mr. Copperbeard, we meet again. Is there anything you want me to do this time?"
Master Gaspar greeted Given.
Givens glanced at Master Niels, who was standing on the sidelines, his face pale. Then Givens replied politely.
"I'm here to ask about Master Niels, and we've heard some bad rumors. ”
"You heard it right, your friend Master Niels is caught up in a troublesome case, and the sheriff of the city, Ares, has obtained a crystal disk of excellent quality in violation of the law. As the best crystal disc master in the whole region, he is the most suspicious, so I have to deal with it impartially. ”
Master Gaspar spoke about it as if the person concerned was not around. As he said the last sentence, Master Niels frowned and gritted his teeth.
"What to do, Jiwen?"
Adelia asked anxiously through her psychic voice. Faced with such a thorny problem, she has never thought of a good way. This big man from the royal capital.
"Don't worry, I've already discussed it with Ares. ”
Givens stepped forward and took two steps forward,
"Master Gaspar, it would be too hasty for you to be so casually suspicious of a member of a guild. ”
"Is it hasty?Mr. Copperbeard, you need to know the status of a good crystal disc maker in the royal capital. For those nobles who are not suitable for learning summoning arts, obtaining a powerful crystal disk is the only means for them to maintain their status and family. ”
Master Gaspar paused, and deliberately pointed at himself again.
"Although I am as weak as an ordinary old man in the eyes of many people, if I speak, even the consuls of this city will come and help me get rid of her. However, becoming a glorious crystal disc maker is not without a price, that is, no one can violate the rules of the guild. ”
"But Master Niels didn't break the rules. Givens interrupted Master Gaspar's statement.
He helped Ares make the crystal disc privately. Gaspar said unconcernedly.
"You have no proof. ”
"Do you need proof for such a straightforward fact? Only Master Niels can do that. The master glanced at Niels, who was standing next to him, and replied with great certainty.
Givens gave Ares a look. Ares immediately stepped forward and said loudly, "Old man, why do you say that Ares helped me make the crystal disk. ”
"Are you Ares?"
"Yes. Ares unscrewed his cloak, revealing the crystal disc on his left chest. The veins of cold iron and countless hedrons spread across the metal base, shimmering with magical light.
Master Gaspar asked, glancing at the crystal disk.
"Then who can tell me where this crystal disk came from? It's not a work registered with the guild. ”
Are they willing to admit that they have found a maker on the black market, if that is the case, the master can immediately send them to the sheriff's prison.
However, as far as Master Gaspar knows, even the disc makers in the surrounding black market will not be able to complete the rumored crystal disk. The only possibility is that Mr. Copperbeard's teacher, or perhaps he is the real author of this crystal disk.
Mr. Copperbeard, which answer would you choose?
Master Gaspar looked at Given's group, waiting for an answer.
