Several men in military uniforms galloped across the plain outside the barracks, kicking up clouds of dust behind them wherever they passed.

It wasn't quite dark yet, and there was a slight glow.

In the distance, the barracks had not yet been lit with oil lamps, and the barracks were a little dim.

On the contrary, an oil lamp was hung in a hut 500 meters outside the barracks, and at this time between light and darkness, the hut had the smell of a lighthouse in the sea.

The hut outside the barracks immediately caught the attention of the man on horseback.

The man on horseback at the head was tall and strong, with a standard face of national characters, and he was the lord of Belia City, and several men on horseback behind him were all soldiers.

Upon noticing the cabin, his long eyebrows were visibly raised, as if he was a little surprised to see a non-military building outside the barracks.

As he marched on horseback, he asked the man beside him, "...... outside our barracks When did one more hut like this come out? ”

Perhaps it was the bumps in the march that confused his mind, or he was not sure of the answer to this question, so the man who was asked replied after a long time: "It seems that an adventurer built it some time ago, and the construction of this hut ...... It seems that it has been approved by the staff, but the specific subordinates are not very clear......"

"Oh?" When the city lord heard this, he raised his right hand and motioned for everyone to stop first.

Seeing this, several men beside him immediately grabbed the reins and stopped the forward movement of the war horse under his crotch.

The horses neighed one after another, and rushed several steps with inertia before slowly stopping, raising a large cloud of dust.

A few people happened to stop not far in front of the hut.

The lord looked at the hut carefully for a moment, then pointed to the hut and asked, "Do any of you know what this is all about?" ”

Several people behind him looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you, I can't say a word for a long time.

In the end, a young man at the back of the line spoke: "This thing...... I probably know something. ”

Seeing that someone in the know finally stood up, the city lord smiled gently at him: "Tell me about it." ”

"That...... Because this incident happened not long ago, and at that time, Lord Castle, you had already personally led the team out on patrol, so it was normal for everyone not to know. The young man spoke with a somewhat shy feeling, and from this point of view he should be a recruit, "I was only later transferred to the army where the lord of the castle was out, so I know this better. ”

"This hut was built by adventurers. When the staff noticed that the hut was about to be completed, they sent out personnel to coordinate with the builders of the hut and prepare to start demolishing the building—after all, it was not in accordance with the rules to build a house so close to the barracks.

However, in the end, this did not go ahead, and I heard that after the staff came into contact with the adventurer, he found that the adventurer who built the hut seemed to be ...... What a fool. ”

The city lord was visibly stunned when he heard this.

The young soldier didn't notice the city lord's reaction, and continued to talk to himself: "Although the matter of building a hut outside the barracks is not in accordance with the rules, it is not a serious excess, and there are protection regulations for such people in the sound legal system of our Sky Blue Continent, plus there has been a shortage of manpower in the barracks recently. In order not to make a fuss, the staff finally ignored the matter.

After repairing the hut, the adventurer used the hut to open a Jiangnan leather workshop, specializing in leather equipment. I have to say that although this adventurer is a fool, the quality of the equipment made is really good, and he is quite famous in our barracks, and ...... Hey, Lord Castle, where are you going? ”

Before the young soldier could finish speaking, the stout lord of the city had already turned over and dismounted, and walked straight to the hut.

"I'll go in and see, and you'll be on standby." The city lord casually waved his hand to the soldiers behind him, signaling them not to worry.

He quickly walked to the door of the hut, reached out and opened the wooden door of the hut, and walked into the hut with a big grin.

Outside the hut were left a few soldiers still sitting on their horses, their dazed faces illuminated by oil lamps.

……

The lord walked into the hut and casually looked at it as he went, as if he were wandering aimlessly.

An oil lamp was also lit inside the hut, so that the lord could see that in the innermost position, a young man was sitting with his back to him.

Although the city lord hadn't seen his face yet, the city lord subconsciously felt that this person was definitely not very old, and he should still be just a teenager.

Compared with ordinary people, the back of the teenager looks a little thin - but the back of the teenager actually has only such a characteristic, if you remove this thinness, this back will become very ordinary.

The boy's hands and shoulders kept shaking, as if he was doing something.

He didn't seem to be aware of the arrival of the guests in the hut at all, and even though the city lord had already walked to a position not far behind him, he still didn't react in the slightest, and continued to move.

He took another step forward and ......

Little by little, he pulled out the saber on his waist!

Little by little, the saber was unsheathed, but the friction between the blade and the scabbard did not make a single sound, and the saber almost silently revealed its cold blade.

His expression was still very casual, but his eyes were fixed on the young man's back, and the movements of his hands were ...... It's clear that he wants to slash at the boy in front of him!

It was as if the person sitting in front of him was not a young man he didn't know at all, but an enemy he wanted to fight!

The yellowish light of the oil lamp fell on the blade, and it glowed unusually brightly.

But as soon as he made this action, a female voice came from the hut, and he hurriedly retreated, instantly put the knife into the sheath, and the eyes that had been staring at the young man's back also moved to the messy furnishings around him.

"Thunder...... Mr. Lei Yang, you asked me to prepare...... Hey, this, this, this...... Who are you, sir!? “

A fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl walked out of a room in the hut and immediately showed a look of fear when she noticed an unfamiliar man in the hut, but judging from where she appeared, she probably didn't see the man's previous movements.

The boy finally stopped what he was doing when he heard the girl's voice, and turned around to see the castle lord standing behind him.

The boy frowned, but did not speak.

"Don't look at me like that...... I just stopped by and found out about this shop, so I stopped by and had a look. Seeing that the eyes of the two of them looking at him were not normal, the city lord hurriedly waved his hand and said to the two gently.

The boys and girls obviously didn't recognize his military uniform, so he did look like a newcomer.

"But...... We're closed. The girl shrank back and said timidly.

The young man looked at the city lord with a puzzled expression.

"I'm just going to come in and have a look, and please don't be so nervous." The city lord seemed to be a little helpless and explained, "I just heard about the new store here today, and I heard that there is a ...... here ...... here"

"Here...... Well, leather armor. The leather armor here is very famous, so I wanted to come and see it. The city lord hesitated for a long time before he told the business of the shopkeeper.

When he said this, the city lord noticed that a leather armor seemed to be placed behind the young man, so he took the opportunity to say, "Is this the leather armor you made?" Can you show me? ”

The young man thought for a moment, then took out the leather armor he had just made behind him and handed it to the city lord.

After the city lord took the leather armor, he looked at it carefully for a while, and then asked the young man with a little surprise, "You did this?" ”

"Hmm." The boy nodded.

"How much does it cost?"

"Twenty coppers."

After hearing this, the city lord had a strange expression on his face.

……

"Have you ever seen the leather armor sold in this store?" The castle lord looked a little strange when he walked out of the hut, and he ignored the other soldiers and asked the young soldiers.

The other party replied without hesitation: "I have seen it, it is indeed of the same high quality as rumored." ”

"Then did you know that these leather armors only sell for twenty copper?"

Hearing this, the soldier smiled and said to the city lord, "Yes, I wanted to tell the city lord before, but you are walking too fast. The store is famous partly because of the high quality of the equipment, but more importantly, because of the ...... Their leather armor only sells for twenty copper - you must know that the cost of these leather armor should not be less than one gold even according to the material alone, which is a huge loss-making business, and the more you sell, the more you lose. ”

"That's why everyone thinks that the adventurer who opened the shop is really what the staff said...... What a fool. ”

……

"Mr. Lei Yang, I have prepared all the carts you asked me to prepare." After the stout man left the hut, Wu Fenmei said to the silent Lei Yang.

During this time, the two have become acquainted with each other a lot, and when talking to Lei Yang, Wu Fenmei will no longer be as divided as before.

"yes, got it." Lei Yang nodded, but he looked a little absent-minded.

Wu Fenmei looked at Lei Yang's appearance, and asked with some uncertainty, "Mr. Lei Yang...... Are you still thinking about that strange guest? ”

Wu Fenmei frowned when she said this, because she suddenly realized that maybe she didn't care too much about it, she didn't see the man's heart just now.

“…… Not really. Lei Yang shook his head, "I'm just thinking, it seems like it's time to go to the barracks to deliver goods." ”

"Delivery?"

"Yes, Ruoya told me before that if I met a native in the workshop who was about to cut me with a knife, it meant that I should go to the barracks to deliver goods."

"Huh?" Wu Fenmei was confused

Lei Yang first said something to Wu Fenmei that the latter couldn't understand, and then frowned and said distressedly: "In addition, I still wonder if that person's knife just now really slashed down, can I catch it?" ”
