Chapter 30: The Rifodin Blacksmith
The atmosphere of the dinner was very harmonious, and Modrian and Baron Benny chatted some warm topics, about the memories of his time at Perris Castle, most of them were Baron Benny's talking, and Modrian was listening, and he also heard a lot of interesting facts about his father, Viscount Brooke.
As the dinner ended, Modrian and Gregory were left to live in the garrison's mansion by Baron Benny for a few days, while the Noxian expeditionary cavalry who had come to Edalas remained at the Blue Strawberry Hotel, according to Dodd's steward.
The room is very good, with a green decoration, the table, chairs and wardrobe are very new, it can be seen that it has only been bought for a long time, the floor is covered with a fine wool blanket, soft and comfortable, the bed is a pure white duvet, the layout here is much better than the Castle of Digwo, it is completely different.
As the stars shrouded the manor in the dim night, Modrian lay on his back on the silky bed in his pajamas, closing his eyes and contemplating the warning words that Baron Benny had spoken earlier in his delicate study.
The Highness of the Gate of Sorrow is actually not in his consideration, compared to the two, the gap is too big, one is a pioneer knight without a title, and the other is the Royal Highness of the Kingdom who nominally controls the Gate of Sorrow, according to Baron Benny's words, as long as you don't collide with that Highness.
As for the other, Emerson Temple Cockain, the head of the Cockain family, the court baron, and the power of the Jeffrey family on the face of Edalas.
"My brother's uncle, too? Very interesting relationship! Modrian's face was slightly cold, he remembered the bloody incident he encountered outside the city of Edalas last time, although Baron Benny helped him deal with it, but the person behind it, he was still thinking about who it was, and now it is revealed.
"Originally, I hoped that there would be no accidents at this aristocratic gathering, but now it seems that my hope has come to naught! On top of that, Uncle Benny's attitude is not clear now, and the dinner party is just a simple conversation. ”
Thinking of Baron Benny's unpredictable strength, Modrian rubbed his tired eyes, gave up thinking further, and prepared to close his eyes and sleep to recuperate.
......................
On the morning of the second day, the rising winter sun filled the city of Edalas, the wide streets were full of pedestrians, and the scattered shops were already open for business.
Like travelers, Moderian and Gregory wandered around the city of Edalas, where the nobles' meeting was scheduled for three days to come, and he took the opportunity to deal with the urgent business of Fort Digwag.
Passing through the junction of the aristocratic and the bustling business district, Modrian followed the guidance of the Dodd steward and saw the famous blacksmith shop of Rivoldin.
As a blacksmith shop built by the Rivodin Dwarven clan, its high-quality weapons and equipment are well-known on the continent of Karadimos, especially the magical items forged in cooperation with the georefined alchemists, which are highly sought after by extraordinary professionals.
Of course, the Rivoldine blacksmith shop in Edalas is just a branch, but the figures of all ethnic groups speak of the booming business.
"Welcome to the Rivoldine Blacksmith!" In front of the spacious and elegant gate, a female *** member wearing black clothes said with a smile on her face, and her plump figure attracted the attention of many men around.
"Sir, do you need any help?"
What familiar words and scenes, Modrian was in a trance, and then reacted, this is the continent of Karadimos, and it is no longer the steel city it once was.
Modrian looked at the blacksmith shop, where business was booming at the moment, and in front of each guest was a human waiter as a shopping guide, introducing in detail the fine equipment made by the dwarven craftsmen.
The dwarven blacksmith and the human waiter are an interesting combination, and it seems that it makes sense that the Rivodin blacksmith can be opened all over the continent of Calradimos.
"Trouble, we need to buy a large quantity of weapons and equipment, I wonder if the Rivoldin blacksmith can provide it?" Modrian said politely.
"Of course, sir, please come with me!" A look of surprise flashed on the smiling face, and the sexy waitress bowed respectfully, and the waves were turbulent.
Following the waitress, Modrian led Gregory through the bustling antechamber to the backyard of the blacksmith's shop, where a blazing wave of fire came over the shop and the sound of hammers clattering.
The temperature in the backyard was a bit high, and as far as the eye could see, there were at least a dozen furnaces burning, the raging flames roaring like wild beasts, the shirtless and strong dwarven craftsmen wielding heavy hammers to beat the iron, and hundreds of dwarven apprentices walking among them, seemingly chaotic, but orderly, each performing its own duties.
"This way, sir!"
The soft waitress voice sounded, and Modrian looked away in surprise, but he didn't want to attract attention.
Vigilant eyes were patrolling Modrian, and when he turned his head, there were two dwarves in steel armor, about one meter three tall, strong and powerful arms holding war hammers, black bearded faces with big red noses, and they were the extraordinary professions unique to the dwarven clan: heavy hammer dwarven warriors.
"Rivodin dwarves?" Modrian nodded and smiled, and followed the waiter to a brown wooden door in the backyard.
Knock knock!
"Lord Bayer, there are people who want to buy large quantities of weapons and equipment." The sexy waitress knocks on the wooden door with a respectful look.
After a while, a hesitant and lazy mellow voice sounded behind the door, as if it had just woken up: "Hmm...... Okay, let them in! ”
The waitress bent down and made a gesture to invite in, then turned to leave, and the rest was no longer something she could be involved in.
Rough and heavy, this was Modrian's first impression of the room, and the corpses of unknown beasts hung on the walls, and the gray bones showed chopping marks, which should be the favorite trophy of the room owner.
With a slight twitch of his nose, Modrian could smell a strong smell of alcohol in the air, sourced from the red-bearded dwarf behind the wooden table.
"Do you need a lot of weapons and equipment? Hiccup! ”
Bayer Rivoldin's wine burped, his cloudy eyes were full of sleepiness, his hangover had not yet woken up, and a little wine stain was clearly visible on his thick red beard. "Show me your proof."
According to the strict laws of the Kingdom of Stoke, any private trade in weapons and equipment requires a local certificate from the kingdom's military department, and at the very least, a guarantee from a nobleman of one party.
"Hello, Lord Bayer, I'm Modrian, a pioneer knight, and it's an honor to meet you." Modrian bowed and smiled, pulling a piece of golden paper from his pocket. "This is a Pioneer Decree, and I suppose I have the right to buy the Frontier materials I need at the Rifodin Blacksmith, right?"
"Pioneer Decree?" Bayer Rivoldin's cloudy eyes regained clarity, and the fierce momentum pressed against Modrian. "I didn't expect to see such a rare thing, it seems that you have a lot of energy behind you."
"That's not what Lord Bayer is worried about!" Modrian was amazed, he was a transcendent professional, and Gregory at his side stepped forward at the right time to resist Bayer Rivoldin's oppressive momentum.
Frontier Decree, which only has the authority to pioneer territories in the Borderlands.
Generally speaking, there must be some big man standing behind the Pioneer Knight, after all, there are not many borderlands on the continent of Calradimos now, so Modrian boldly guesses that the Rivoldin blacksmith will not 'offend' him for some weapons and equipment.
"Of course, I just asked curiously." Bayer Rivoldin looked at Gregory standing in front of Modrian, his fierce momentum gradually disappeared, and he reverted to a hangover again. "Report your needs, if there is a need, we can take care of the delivery to the door."
