Chapter 33: The Knight's Reminder
Turn on the lamp mounted on the top of the workbench, unlike the yellow lights that can be seen everywhere in the city, the light next to the workbench is pure white, extremely bright, and the lampshade is constructed like a lantern flower, probably to gather all the light, and it is also a movable light source, which can be moved to another location by reaching out and pulling.
Donald looked at the craftsman with the same surname as him, took the ring from his hand without saying a word, took out a toolbox from the room, sat on a chair, pointed the light at the ring, put on special mechanical glasses and began to observe and study, fiddling with the ring from side to side, and kept muttering in his mouth.
"It's too rough...... It's terrible that this material is used to create a ring like this, the great king of blacksmiths, and I swear that if I run into that idiot, I will teach him a good lesson....."
These men who deal with iron and fire all day long have a temper that is naturally more irritable than the other.
"The meshing of the gem and the ring body is really unexpectedly rough, and there is such a big crack, I am afraid that a slight impact may shake the gem off the ring body, although it does not affect the internal space of the gem, but this is simply an unforgivable mistake for a craftsman!"
In fact, the vampire count also thought about building it well, but most of the first-class craftsmen believe in the god of craftsmanship and forging, these people are naturally sensitive to dark creatures, even if there is no divine detection, they may perceive his identity intuitively, so there is no way, he can only look for those second-rate craftsmen, they don't have the skills to create space rings, it is already good to be able to do this.
"Fortunately, the gem was not ruined by that fool, and there is still a possibility of salvage...... This gentleman, I will accept your order, but you have to promise me a few conditions. ”
"Speak, please. ”
As long as he's willing to turn this spatial ring back into a finished product, Donald doesn't mind paying some price.
"First, this matter should be kept secret, if you tell others about the fact that I built a space ring for you, I will not be responsible for the consequences at that time. ”
It sounded like a strange request, but Donald himself was not prepared to spread the word about it, and he knew it well, so he nodded his head without hesitation.
"Second, it takes time to create a space ring, and the craftsmanship of your ring is really poor, I can help you recover it, 3 days, is there a problem?"
"No problem. ”
Although he wanted to leave the city as soon as possible, Donald didn't mind staying a few more days for the sake of the space ring, they had plenty of time now.
"Third, don't bother me halfway, if the forging fails because of your interference, I won't be able to accompany a new space ring. ”
"This ......"
Donald wasn't worried that he wouldn't be able to bear the patience to come and check, but he was worried that the other party would take the ring and abscond.
After all, this is a space ring, even if it is an unfinished product, it can still be sold for a high price of more than 500 gold pounds in any underground market, and Donald has no understanding of this craftsman, at most the surname is repeated, so it is impossible to say that the ring is handed over to him like this.
"I can vouch for Uncle Grant's credibility, he is a first-class master craftsman in Corta!"
Jacqueline quickly understood the hidden meaning of Donald's hesitation, although she knew that these people were from other regions and did not know the rules here, but she was still somewhat emotional.
"Okay, I'm okay, as long as you can help me complete the space ring, then the question of this remuneration ......"
Donald couldn't trust this craftsman, but Jacqueli, the chief knight of the Church of Morninglight, he still believed it, if she lied to herself, she would violate the doctrine, and for the apostles, this would be a great price.
"10 gold pounds!"
"Okay, no problem. ”
The price that Donald expected, 10 gold pounds is really nothing for him now, so he didn't even make a counter-offer, and directly sold the deal at a fixed price.
After all that had to be said, the craftsman immediately began to prepare, and both Donald and his party and Jacqueline were directly invited out of the workshop.
"I still have something to leave, for the last few days I will be staying at the church of the Craft and Forge Sect in Corta, if there is anything, you can go there and find me. ”
Jacqueline seemed to have a lot to do, and after saying that, she turned around and prepared to leave, Donald was still a little curious why one of her knights of the Morning Light Church wanted to stay in the faith area where the craft and forging sect is located in Corta, when he saw her stop, as if thinking of something, he walked back and said,
"As a believer in Morning Light, although it may involve the issue of transgression of authority...... But I still have to warn you that something bad is happening in this city, please be careful of people with a weird black tree tattooed on their necks, it is best not to go out at night, in addition, try not to expose your identity in front of the apostles here, a considerable number of apostles of the craft and forging sect have become very sensitive recently due to some circumstances, especially for the apostles who have not entered the sect's monitoring are very hostile. ”
Unlike other regions, the government of the Lane Empire allows the affairs of the Aliens in the religious district to be handled by the local administration of the religion, and it will be troublesome if they are really considered dangerous by the Craft and Forge Sect.
Jacqueline was willing to remind Donald that it was for the sake of helping the priests before them, otherwise she, as an apostle of other religions, would have to be cautious in her words and actions in Corta.
"Thanks for the reminder. ”
"No thanks, I'll go first. ”
Leaving again, this time Jacqueline didn't stop.
"Last night's witchers were talking about the disappearance of the population, and today the chief knight of the Morning Light Sect reminds us to be careful of people with strange tattoos, and she appeared in Corta as the head knight of the Morning Light Sect, and her subordinates are obviously here, there is only one possibility, some things cannot be solved by the people of the Craft and Forge Sect alone, and they are trying to seek help from other nearby forces...... No matter how you look at it, the city has problems.
Anthony's habitual caution caused him to involuntarily connect the information he had gathered from all parties after coming to the city, and the conclusions he came to were shivering.
"We don't care so much, this is a religious area, we strangers are not welcomed, if we don't get into trouble, we won't get into trouble, so I'm going to spend the next three days in a hotel, anyway, looking at the environment of this city, I don't think there is anything to do, buy more food and magazines, and pass the time." ”
More is better than less, Donald thought that no one would come to trouble him until he had been staying at the hotel, and handed the two inscription scrolls into Anthony's hands, and then said,
"This is a second-level inscription scouting eye, one is placed around each of this workshop, and if something happens, they can help us recover our losses. ”
Despite Jacqueline's guarantee, there should be no less precautions.
One can only hope that it does not come in handy.
