Neither Adelia nor Givens expected that the gladiatorial fight they were involved in today would create a myth.

On the day of the gladiatorial fight, the bars and restaurants in the civilian area did surprisingly well, and countless elves who had made a lot of money from the gladiatorial bets took their family and friends to party all night long, and at countless family tables, those who had the good fortune to watch the gladiatorial fight, while showing off their money bags in front of their families, began to boast about the amazing scenes in the gladiatorial arena during the day.

Although the course of the battle was uneventful, each narrator added a wonderful imagination to the story, so by the time the battle spread to the streets, Given's nickname even got the nickname "The Bone Crusher", and the battle became a spectacular reversal of the first time in history.

Every Elf of Sodima has heard of the legend.

Rogers, the summoner from a foreign land, with unparalleled power, arrogantly insulted the great city, defeating all the challengers before him. And just when he was on the verge of winning five consecutive challenges.

A brave little girl takes to the arena, and she takes her summoned beast, the Bone Crusher, through a tough battle, to clean and completely drive Rutgers and his minions out of the arena stage. Her victory gave every elf who bet on Sodima City a huge prize.

The story even erased the title of witch from Adella's head, at least the elves in the civilian area no longer looked at Adella's back in fear, and even some daring drinkers began to brag about their adventures with Adella.

The only exception is in the aristocratic quarter of Sodima City, where the noble elves from the big families still curse Adelia's name, hoping that she will be punished.

That night, another word spread through the streets that the defeated summoner Rutgers had mysteriously disappeared from the city. Neither the servants he brought with him nor the creditors who came to collect his debts found any trace of him. The elves of Sodima gloated at the news, maliciously guessing that Rutgers must have snuck out of the city to escape his debts.

The tide of the gladiatorial fight slowly subsided after two days.

And Adelia dared to go out on the street, and together with Given, she went to the Flame Forge with the gratuity from the gladiatorial fight, ready to reward Master Niels for his help.

But when they arrived at their destination, Givens and Adella noticed that there was something unusual about today's furnace of flames.

There were quite a few people gathered at the door of the furnace of the blacksmith shop, as if something had happened.

…………

Niels, the owner of the Flame Furnace, never expected that today would be such a bad day.

The wave of excitement caused by the gladiatorial arena in the past two days even affected the Flame Furnace, and business was twice as good as usual, which caused the entire shop to rush to work overnight to fulfill new orders placed by customers. Today, Master Niels has finally taken a break of time, and he is waiting for the black market merchant to quietly deliver the cold iron he ordered, and he can start making the crystal disk that Mr. Copperbeard has ordered.

The black marketeer delivered the goods as promised in the morning, but Niels did not expect that, just before the transaction, a group of uninvited guests came to the furnace of flames.

The patriarch of the Freddy family, Theresia, with a group of guards and other nobles, poured into the halls of the Furnace of Fire and forcibly seized the black market vendor.

This unexpectedly disrupts Niels' plans, and as the owner of the Flame Furnace, Niels protests loudly to Theresia.

"Mrs. Freddy, what are you doing here? you're detaining customers in my shop at will, and it will tarnish the reputation of the Flame Furnace. ”

The patriarch of the Freddy family, Theresia, didn't care about Niels's reaction, for her, the protests of a crystal disc maker were of no value, she cared about something else.

I saw that Teresia made a gesture to the guard, and then responded coldly: "Niels, don't worry, there are many things that damage the reputation of the Flame Furnace, and I don't care about this one." ”

Theresia's pun on Niles alerted. He couldn't help but wonder if the Freddie family knew about their deal with Mr. Copperbeard.

At this point, the guards followed Traesia's orders and brought the black market vendor before Niels.

The merchant who arrived was a young blonde elf who struggled to break free from the guards. I saw her suddenly kick the guard's foot, and then her shoulder pushed back, and she was about to break free. But when several Freddy family guards around saw this, they immediately rushed up and banned her again.

"What a guy who doesn't know what to do, Niels, did you know this uncultured customer before?"

Theresia glanced at the girl and asked deliberately.

Niels looked at the girl, pretending not to know, and shook his head.

"What about you, young man, what are you doing here?" said Tresia, walking over to the black market vendor.

"I'm here to buy something!

The girl continued to struggle.

"Shopping?" said the old woman's eyes, "tell me what it is, and it was just found out of you." ”

Theresia stretched out her hand, and one of the guards next to her immediately opened a small box and handed it over.

There were more than a dozen metal fragments in the box, and those metal fragments were shining with a dark green glow, which was a unique light that belonged to cherishing metal cold iron. In Solland, these dozen pieces can be exchanged for a bag of gold coins with oak tree motifs.

The girl was still stiff-mouthed and continued to argue. "This is something I gave to a friend......"

"Enough!" Tresia interrupted the girl, she had had enough of playing silly games with each other.

"Don't think I don't know anything, your nickname is "Xiyue". You're probably the most successful black-marketeer in Sofat, and you arrived in Sodima two days ago, carrying with you a valuable piece of cold iron. Tell me, what the hell do you want to do, do you just want to buy two souvenirs from Sodima?"

Theresia finished speaking, with the characteristic expression of a victor. Her gaze swept coldly over Xiyue and Niels, she knew that neither of them expected that she would come prepared today. Since the day Adelia's sheriff friends were confiscated, she has sent people to keep an eye out for the Flame Forge and the city's black market, and Adelia has been going back and forth between the Flame Forge and the Arena several times lately, and must have been secretly ordering crystal disks. So when she found Xiyue's traces, she decided to close the net today.

After her identity was revealed, Xiyue also stopped struggling.

From Theresia's words, she knew that this old woman had been staring at her for a long time, and the foothold in her city had probably been controlled by this old lady for a long time, and it was obviously very difficult to escape safely now.

Looking at Xiyue's changing demeanor, Theresia said even more proudly: "In Sodima City, there is only one use for cold iron, and there will only be one buyer. Master Niels, what do you think someone can do if they buy cold iron from a black market merchant? Is it trying to avoid supervision and secretly make crystal disks? This is a big crime!"

Theresia immediately cornered Niels, but now Niels can only hold on.

"Madame Freddy, what you say is all your speculation, there is no evidence that this girl would make a deal in our city, and it is not a sin to carry cold iron in Thorland. As for why she's here today, I'm just as curious as you are. ”

Trathesia turned her head to the question, and she looked Niels in the eye, as if to reveal all the secrets he had hidden in his heart. Then Theresia threatened unabashedly, "Master Niels, do you think I can't pry something out of this black marketeer?"

Niels was silent, knowing that the Freddy family had a tradition of lynching in Sodima City, and that as the second largest family in the city, most of the time they escaped unpunished.

But at this moment, Xiyue suddenly raised her head, she looked at Theresia provocatively, and asked.

"Hey, old lady over there, you're neither a sheriff nor an official of the guild, so even if I wanted to sell cold iron to people, what did it have to do with you. ”

When Tresia heard Xiyue's provocative words, she didn't get angry, but laughed proudly. She had actually been waiting for Niels or Xiyue to ask this question, and if no one had brought it up, then the careful preparation she had made before would be meaningless.

Theresia whispered a few words to one of the guards next to her before responding to Xiyue.

"Uneducated little girl, you just take a good look. ”

Moments later, two new visitors were ushered into the hall of the Furnace of Fire, where the strong elf, dressed in sheriff's armor and wearing the logo of a vice-captain, bowed to Traesia as soon as he saw her.

"Patriarch, you call me?"

After this major change in the sheriff ranks, Traticia has crammed several young people from the Freddy family into the sheriff's ranks, and now it is time for them to play their role.

Theresia did not answer the greetings of her people, but motioned for him to find a place to sit down, and then she hurried to meet an old man who came in after her.

Looking at everything in front of him, Master Niels sadly sensed that things had gone out of control.

When he saw the sheriff belonging to the Freddy family appear, he began to have an ominous premonition, but when he saw the old man who entered the hall later, his face immediately turned dead.

That's Master Gaspar, the vice president of the guild!

For Master Gaspar, who has been in the business for hundreds of years, it only takes a glance to understand what is happening. His own justifications and excuses mean nothing in front of him.

If Master Gaspar, who has always been strict, decides that he has violated the rules of the guild.

Then it's all over.

Master Gaspar walked slowly into the room accompanied by his entourage, he had been passing through the area near the city of Sodima, but after receiving a warm invitation from Madame Freddy, he changed his itinerary slightly, passed through the city of Sodima, and helped Madame Freddy solve a small problem.

After listening to the narration of the patriarch of the Freddy family, Master Gaspar turned his attention to Niels.

The old man asked solemnly.

"Tell me honestly, tell me honestly, what the hell is going on with this cold iron?"

Niels' heart pounded in the face of the master's questioning, and he could feel the blood flowing through his body at an accelerated pace, crashing in all directions, and finally pouring into his brain.

A voice kept shouting in my ear: What the hell should I do?

Do you continue to lie and cover it up, or do you make your agreement with Mr. Copperbeard public?

But either way, you will be in a situation from which you will never recover.

In the end, he had no choice but to remain silent.

After a moment of waiting, Master Gaspar lost patience with Niels's silence, and his tone became harsher.

"Niels, speak!"

But at this moment, a loud voice came from outside the door, interrupting everything in the hall.

"Has the cold iron I ordered arrived?"
