Chapter 12: Entering the City
Jonny slowed down a little, after all, he had seen the movement of the heavy stone's body in the past three days.
He wasn't worried that Ushi would never come to him again after leaving, not to mention whether he was this kind of person, just because of the abundant supplies in the supermarket, for the sake of Ushi and Uke, Ushi would not leave easily. What's more, so far, Jonny has also behaved like a businessman, and there is not much threat or hostility towards them.
In the night, Ush walked into the gate of Rokomann after rigorous questioning and searching by several gatekeepers, leaving behind the bone gun.
Jonny looked at the city gates and walls from a distance, and although they had been repaired, he could still see the swords and swords left by the fierce battles. There are also obvious marks left by claws and fangs, fists and feet, which makes Jonny who sees it faintly have some jealousy in his heart.
There are also a lot of large and small stones next to it, and Jonny's stone body looks like a door panel, so it doesn't look particularly abrupt here.
Leaning against an irregular block of stone two or three times the size of his own stone, Jonny folded his legs and arms together and pressed them against his body. The crevices left there squirmed, and the original appearance of hands and feet slowly disappeared. The whole looks like an ordinary, ubiquitous stone, without the appearance of a humanoid stone with hands and feet.
It was Jonny's manipulation after he was familiar with the Devil Fruit, and as he returned to land, he continued to grow and change every day. Because of this, he is becoming more and more confident that he can return to his human form as soon as possible and then integrate into the life of the crowd.
The only thing that is difficult is that there is a head and a face, if you don't solve this problem, even if you have hands and feet, you can fight and jump, you still can't be like a normal person. I don't know if there is a legend about the headless warrior and Xingtian in this world, if there is, then it will be easy to do.
Jonny's body melts like a puddle of liquid in Infinite YY and disappears to the floor of the castle.
The next day, Jonny woke up early, and after the city gate opened, Ush and a few people pushed a cart board, and walked towards this side, with a little smile on his face.
"It's this stone, carry it in the car, send it back to the town, and I will give you a lot of the promised reward!"
Ush and Jonny had already discussed some countermeasures and were as prepared as possible, but anyway, go to the town first so that things could get started.
"Little brother, there are a lot of stones here that look well-behaved and beautiful, why don't you choose one, it doesn't look like a door panel, ready to be polished into a stone door to use!"
Jonny's stone body resembles a square, gray-black SpongeBob SquarePants, and after cutting through the middle, the two stone door panels have a rudimentary shape. The person who spoke was a master stonemason specially invited by Ush, so he had this question.
"Let's pull it back first, it looks okay, it should be a good stone!"
Ush also had some experience with stonemasons, so after discussing it with Jonny again, a plan came to their minds. At this time, he didn't say much, and asked the stonemason to lead a few hired men to skillfully carry the large piece of stone onto the board of the car specially designed to haul the stone.
Half an hour later, Ronnie's stone body had appeared in the town, in a relatively remote courtyard. There are a lot of unformed stone models piled up here, as well as a variety of grinding tools.
"Okay, thank you brothers, take this hard-earned money to drink the bar!"
Ush took two gold coins out of his pocket, and tossed them to the man at the head of the group under the fiery gaze of the men. After they said goodbye politely and thankfully, they came to the side of the master stonemason.
"Ten gold coins, I want you to start polishing it as soon as possible! As long as you do what I ask, I will pay you more! That's half of the deposit, you take it first! ”
The people here tend to be from well-to-do families and still use lower value silver coins. As for copper coins and iron coins, they were circulated for a while in this world more than 200 years ago, and finally slowly withdrew from the trading stage of history. That's why he took out a few beautiful gold coins that were obviously true, and those guys looked at him so hotly.
"Hehe, the little brother is really generous! Okay, I'm going to move this old bone and finish the job as soon as possible! Don't worry, my craft has also been practiced since childhood, you can ask, there are few people who can compare to me in this industry! ”
The stonemason weighed the five gold coins in his hand, and smiled happily. As he spoke, he walked towards the pile of grinding tools next to him.
"But little brother, I'll be honest, this kind of stone material is good, it's okay to make stone bricks, if you make a humanoid statue with hands and feet, it's really a bit difficult!"
"It's troublesome, it's troublesome, I spend money, you do things! I live next to it, come to me as soon as possible! If I have time, I'll come and see how you do it! ”
The gold coins given by Ush were far more exquisite and of higher purity than those circulating in the market. The master stonemason is also a skilled craftsman, and if it weren't for the bad business recently, I'm afraid it would not be Ush's turn to make a request for him.
The system is produced and must be a high-quality product! Remembering the inexplicable words that Jonny said to him in astonishment when he took out the gold coins and handed them to him, Ush inexplicably felt a little that he seemed to understand some of the meaning.
Ush, who was no longer in the tattered clothes he had when he entered the city last night, straightened his back a little. He didn't buy too luxurious and expensive clothes, and at this time he was dressed like a housekeeper and servant of a rich family, which was also in line with the next plan of action, and the identity he represented.
There was a clanging sound of hammers and awls striking on the stones. Jonny was in the castle, occasionally appearing in an unseen corner, looking at the master stonemason, who was only in his forties but had already shown his old appearance.
Before lunch, the master stonemason stopped his hand and looked at the humanoid stone with a rough outline under his hand, and a little smile appeared in his eyes.
It's really a good stone, and I even looked away from it before! Hehe, it looks like I'm really old!
Under the gray-black surface of the stone, some of the polished areas have revealed the ore that looks like white jade inside. The stonemason is well-informed, if it weren't for Wush's repeated explanations, when he was working, there must be no others, and he looked like he was wealthy, I am afraid that the stonemason at this time could not help but take it for himself.
