The dirt road stretched half a league in the shadows before Adam led his horse up the stone slab.

The sound of hooves rhythmically taps the eardrums, making people feel slightly drunk in the warm autumn sun that Hangener feels a little vicissitudes.

It was the fatigue of the late afternoon.

Intersections stop ahead without warning, and people walk through them at a specific pace according to their role in life.

The fragrance of wheat and a certain moisture kissed the cheek from the left.

The smell of patina mixed with strange sounds exhales the face from the right side.

[You complete the commission, stand at the intersection, and choose between going to the arena to reply in time and the blacksmith shop to listen to the news. 】

They stood at the intersection, hesitated for a moment, turned right and walked along the avenue.

Adam grasped his instincts and made a decisive choice to give people a certain confidence, and impulsiveness could stimulate him to completely get rid of the impatience after losing the Lord's Ring.

The royal Froma was obedient, which meant that only he could take this hot potato from the horse dealer, and even if Duchen himself came, it would still be for nothing.

[Taigangda's popularity has risen, and interpersonal activity in the black market has risen]

In exchange, the horse dealer carefully observed the lord's ring.

"The blacksmith may understand something, go and ask her."

The country scumbag could not see through its heavy background except for its beautiful appearance, but it did give him some advice.

The royal Froma followed them up the gravel steps and up the flat road into the middle of the city, where they finally found a living selling forage and mount care by the fence.

Lukka stayed behind to guard it, and although the horses would not be touched or close to him, he trusted Adam and would not run blindly on his own.

【Blacksmith Shop LV3】

[Note: The forging furnace has never been extinguished since its completion, and it has been passed down along the craft.] 】

A black cloth was bolted to the bellows outlet, and the Arnold military flag rolled in the hot air.

Adam withdrew his gaze and knocked on the wooden door into the wide building, black steel armor and flooded blades neatly arranged, tags with charcoal abbreviations, and arrows sorted by specification and style.

This kind of thing, which should be made by military needs, is usually not sold.

But there are exceptions.

During the period of labor, there was a surplus of iron and various funds to bear the risk of forging failure.

If the craftsman is the best at work, then this part is considered an additional salary.

The ore forged into the silver armor comes from the northern rock formations, beneath the Bikurazi Mountains, which were incorporated by Hangena before the Taiganda Wall was officially erected.

Every week, Arnold's labourers brought back truckloads of raw ore, roughed and then traveled from place to place to supply the entire region's consumables.

The proprietor, Mrs. Hamilton, was a middle-aged woman with thick arms, dressed in a dirty suit, wearing a leather apron and a square cloth to tuck away her long brown hair.

Blacksmith Boyer Hamilton

[Attitude: Peaceful]

[Specialty: Forging, refining, miscellaneous]

[Monologue: Business is starting to boom.] 】

Her face was wide with spots, and the wrinkles made her look kind, but the blacksmith did not like to laugh, and spoke with a clear eye, never making jokes.

"Young man, your name is Adam. The dentist had bought iron from me this morning, and he said that the foreigner with that name had made several deals. ”

Mrs. Hamilton was one of the few female blacksmiths.

The shop belongs to the family business, because of the influence and the status of the only daughter in the family, so after the death of her husband, she officially took charge of the business.

She's older, but she's one of the best in Tatsuta, and she's got to know a lot of military figures as she has to deal with all kinds of customers, and she's okay with the other wives in town.

At the same time, in order to run a business, she learned practical skills such as writing, calculating, and refining medicine.

Although it is relatively superficial, it is integrated, and it has some say in iron products.

"There's something interesting about this thing, it's very old and noble, I can't say anything about it. Oh, the little things are pretty. ”

"I'm not here to listen to compliments, someone is using this thing to fool my real thing, and it's quite clever. If you can help me get it back, I don't have a problem with this thing for you to play with. ”

"I don't like this kind of trick."

The blacksmith sneered in response, and laid out a balance that was worn and mottled, but the pointer was sensitive, and steadied in the middle after debugging.

She took out the corner ore and checked it, feeling that the weight on both sides was about the same.

Bang~

Mrs. Hamilton flung them to both sides at the same time, and the hands were like drunken men striking a door sign, and immediately fell to the gravel, holding the ring high.

"Don't look at that, kid, my palms are much more precise than this old thing. You've just been fooled by this thing, and what we can perceive is not what it is. ”

She took out Luo duck blood, took out the wattle sticks from the consumables, kneaded them into a ball to wrap the ring, dipped them in some accelerants, and made a snack.

Thorn~

The secret magic box lit the ball, and the pungent smell came to the face, as if it could burn the nose hairs as long as he took a deep breath.

The fireworks are not normal, from orange to dark green, and finally to a dumb fire.

It cracked through the middle, and white smoke and fishy smell wafted away.

But the elaborate lord's ring is no longer there, replaced by a rough iron ring.

"Child, this is a clever thing, a secret art to confuse the guests. Well...... Anyway, I feel like it's a bit of alchemy.

I don't know much, it's the limit, and I can't help you with more. ”

……

When Adam led his horse down the stone steps, the pale sun had already crossed its path in the sky.

He has a headache, secret skills and calculations complement each other, if someone is eyeing him, with the weight of this ring carrying, it is necessary to mobilize some strength to besiege and kill.

But the ring is gone, he is still alive, and the purpose of the trader is blurred again.

Adam looked up, and there were blue dots on the map approaching quickly, and from all directions.

【Anton Weisen Kingdom Cavalry】

The sound of horses' hooves was noisy and chaotic, and the iron rider surrounded him at the junction, and the long sword was unsheathed, pointing unceremoniously at the middle two.

"Do you want to go to jail in their entirety and wait for trial, or should I help cut something first?"

【Commander of the Military Discipline of the Kingdom of Anton Weisen】

[Attitude: Contempt, hostility]

[Monologue: Resist, give me a reason to kill you.] 】

"Luca, don't do anything stupid, trust me."

Adam let go of the leash, and the royal Froma hissed his front hooves, and then calmed down under his caressing.

He appeased the guy who wanted to attack the guard, in order to avoid the situation becoming irreparable.

After judgment, these people should be the Anton Weisen soldiers in Duchen's mouth, and since this is the case, the horses are also considered to be returned to their original owners.

They were captured, and the Chief of Military Discipline put away his whip with a little regret, and asked his men to bind the two of them, and brought them back to the place where they stayed to wait for Lord Cathy's fate.

This unreasonable way of dealing with it is their sense of superiority from the Kingdom.

At the same time, it was also to gently pat Arnold in the face who had escaped arrogance.

[The scales of fate swing back and forth, and it inadvertently loses balance and overturns to a certain side. 】

Adam looked at the intersection one last time before being taken away, and he thought......

If you go to the left to reply to the commission at noon, you will miss the cavalry without any accident and solve the misunderstanding.

Nothing, nothing will happen.
