Chapter XXVII
"Timberwolves, did you meet Timberwolves?" Ryder was shocked for a long time after listening to what Peake said. "Can the Timberwolves still understand you? Peake, aren't you dreaming, is the Wolf King really the size of a house?"
"I wish it was a dream. Peake said helplessly: "What I said is true, if Big Blackfoot can speak, he can prove it to me......"
Ryder asked, "So, those two spears on the big black instep are the spears of the Knight of Light?"
"Yes, that's what I plucked from the wolf king, where did you put it?"
"Yesterday my grandfather also said that it was the knight's spear of the Holy See, he thought that you stole it, we were afraid of getting into trouble, so we thought about burying the two spears in the ground first, and then my grandfather regretted it, he said that it was made of Varenua steel, Varenua steel is known as the best and hardest steel on the continent, even if we can't take it out and sell it, we can melt it at home, and it can be sold for a lot of money when it is made into steel cakes, and finally my grandfather put it in the storage room again. ”
"Well, it's true that we can't let the people of the Holy See know that those Knights of Light are not what we thought they we'd be. Pique still has some heart palpitations when he thinks about it now.
"The timberwolves you said are amazing, and I will also go to the north side of the Endless Wall to see if I have the chance......"
The two talked as they walked, and soon came to the central street of the peaceful town.
"Pique, did you know that there is a noble cane in vogue right now. ”
"What is the noble cane for?" Peake wondered.
"It's useless, do you understand the ornaments? Look at Uncle Bia in front of him, what he is holding in his hand is the "noble cane".
More than a month ago, the lord of our town, that is, Baron Hydwick, inspected the town of peace, when he was holding a cane in his hand, the people in the town had never seen a cane, only thought that the person holding the cane was a gentleman, for a while, the term noble cane suddenly became popular.
Not long after Baron Hygiwick arrived in the town, there was a wave of imitation in the town, and the men not only went to the tailor's shop to order the same style of clothes as Baron Hygwick, but also went to the carpenter shop to customize the same style of Baron Hygiwick's walking stick.
Of course, all the imitations made in our town were imitations, and the quality certainly did not meet the standards of the aristocracy, but they still rushed to imitate them, and had a great time, and the carpenter shops and tailor shops in the town were very happy this month. ”
"The cane is no different. Peake looked at Uncle Bia's cane, and saw that it was about a meter long, and the handle was polished so rounded that it looked ordinary, like an old man's crutch. "Living in a carpenter's house, you should know that there is no technical difficulty in making a cane like that, and I can make about fifty of them a day. ”
Peake thought to himself for a moment, thinking that he cut wood every day in the hunter's yard, cut the wood into the same length of sticks, at least a few hundred a day, save the time of cutting hundreds of sticks, cut fifty a day, and then process fifty simply, Peake is confident that he can make a simple "noble cane" in a short time.
"Wait, you said you could make fifty a day?"
"Yes, it's not like you don't know what I do every day, in addition to chopping wood, making furniture and carving, which you know is not difficult for me at all. ”
"Do you know how much that 'noble cane' costs?"
"A copper coin?" guessed Peake.
"No! ten copper coins! That's a whole silver coin!"
Peake was shocked, that piece of wood could be sold for such a high price?
"Peake, we have to open a carpenter's shop, right in the middle of the town! You have the craft, I have the brains, we're going to make a lot of money! This is your dream when you were a child, wasn't your dream when you were a kid to open a carpenter's shop in the center of the town?"
"Open a carpenter's shop, but we don't have the capital, we need to rent a house, we need to buy raw materials. Peake was gloomy, he had saved some money, but he had made a donkey cart to increase the efficiency of pulling timber up the mountain, and he had put all the copper coins he had saved in the past few years into it.
Ryder smiled evilly and said, "We don't have the capital, grandfather does! That old guy has saved up all his life." ”
"No! you can't steal your grandfather's money!"
The two men argued as they walked, and soon, they were in the center of town.
"Peake, you're so old-fashioned! How can you say that you stole my grandfather's money? We borrowed it, and when our carpenter's shop opened, we would return the money to my grandfather. Angered by Peake's stubbornness, Ryder motioned with his hand to Peake to stop arguing, and he pointed to a carpenter's shop in the town. "Look at what is written on the door of the Dosol family's carpenter's shop!"
Dosol is a well-known carpenter in the town, his family's furniture is exquisite and beautiful, and more than ten years of reputation and reputation have accumulated, becoming the most influential carpenter shop in the town, and almost half of the people in the town will go to his house to buy furniture.
Following Ryder's gaze, Peake saw the carpenter's shop, which was a small two-story building, the main body of the small building was made of boulders, and the whole showed a gray retro style, which was magnificent.
The doors of the carpenter's shop are made of the finest forest wood, which does not need to be painted at all and can be preserved for decades in its natural state.
At this time, a large dark red wooden sign was hanging on the wooden gate of the forest, and on the wooden sign was a line of signs: "Brown-haired people and brown-haired dogs are not allowed to enter." ”
"That's too bullying, isn't it?" Peake saw the slogan, and immediately blood began to gush into his brain. "Uncle Dosol is not an Odin, how do you do things and learn the Odin way of doing things?"
There are three main ethnic groups on the continent, and the most obvious difference between them is the color of their hair.
The first race is the Odin, who are mostly blonde-haired, they are an aristocratic class and enjoy most of the privileges on the continent.
The second is the Chiya people who are close to the blood of the Odin, most of the Chiya people have a fiery red hair, they originated from the Chiya Mountains, and the Odin Plain is below the Chiya Mountains, so the Chiya people have a natural blood relationship with the Odin, and the two races are often friendly to each other, after the Odin people ruled the mainland, the status of the Chiya people is also rising.
The third ethnicity is the Yodelman, which is characterized by brown or black hair. As the largest number of Yodelmen on the continent, they also ruled the continent and established the great Yodelman Kingdom, but after hundreds of years, they were overthrown by the Odin, and the Yodelmen also fell from the aristocratic class to the untouchable class.
"Pique, this is naked discrimination! It is true that the Odin people are an aristocratic class, and those Chiya people floated up with it, which made Lao Tzu very unhappy, you said that the people in the town are also cheap bones, and more than half of them are Yodelmans, they don't smash this store, but also find middlemen to buy it, which is really incomprehensible. ”
Pique didn't know what he was thinking, he was silent for a while, and said, "In the future, we will also have the opportunity to open a carpenter shop of this size, and now we need to save some money." ”
"Let's go!"
"Ryder, it says won't let us in. ”
"If he doesn't let you in, you won't enter, how can you be more stupid than the donkey at home. Raisdra dragged Pique into the carpenter's shop.
At the entrance, a huge beam stretches across the ceiling, carved with several large intricate openwork characters - Dosol's carpenter's shop.
Further inside, you can see a variety of exquisite wooden furniture and ornaments arranged in glass partitions on both sides.
They stepped on the wooden floor, walked through the narrow corridor, and entered a large hall.
This is a hall of about 100 square meters, and in the hall, there are more than a dozen people shopping and chatting, and no one notices Peake and Ryder for the time being
"Sure enough, the people who came in were Odin and Chia, Pique, you see there, those are noble canes. Ryder pointed to a counter.
The counter was filled with all kinds of canes, and Peake saw that there were at least three or more styles, and from the workmanship, it was indeed fine, and the various patterns and carvings on the handle looked very high-end, and one of them was obviously the most sought after, and there were five or six people gathered together to discuss the cane.
Peake was watching intently, and Ryder snatched Peake's blue hat and put it on his head and said, "Peake, borrow me the hat to wear, go out and return it to you." ”
Pique, with a messy pile of hair, had not yet recovered when he saw a big man approach.
The big man, dressed in cotton and linen clothes, looked like a loyal servant, and he put his hand on Peake's shoulder, and said, "Don't you see the words on the door? ”
The big man's voice was not low, and his voice was muffled, but this voice attracted the attention of the customers in the store.
Only then did Peake understand Ryder's intention of snatching his hat, and he glanced at Ryder, who pretended not to know him and grimaced at him.
Helplessly, he turned to the big man and said, "You are also a brown-haired man, and you all belong to the yodelman......"
Before Pique could finish speaking, another big hand fell, grabbed Pique's shoulder and dragged it out, Pique was helpless and was dragged out of the door.
Burst!
Pique didn't stand still and was pushed to the ground.
In front of the carpenter's door, Ryder walked out slowly with his hands behind his back.
"Well, Pique, I'm guessing you're thinking about opening a carpenter's shop right now. ”
Pique sat on the ground and smiled helplessly: "Hahaha, it's really, the current people are really good!"
