When a person is in a state of hunger, any food can become extremely palatable. Of course, as long as the food itself is not very difficult to eat.

The time quickly came to 11:40, and in the Wind Weapons Shop, Green and the others were enjoying a hearty lunch at this time. Today's staple food is beef patty and bread, served with two meat dishes and two vegetarian dishes, as well as a bubbling soup. Blueberry jam and honey go well with bread.

Charles is not a picky eater and eats almost everything except ginger. The boy ate the meatloaf with relish as he listened to the adults talk about the big businessman Jones.

They had intended to go to Jones's lodgings immediately, but given that it was noon, it seemed impolite to do so. Green told the group to eat before visiting Jones, and their rumbling bellies needed to be replenished.

"Jones, the great businessman, is known to all, and his industry can be found almost everywhere on the whole continent. The scale of his business is huge, and he has dabbled in any industry. ”

Green gave a detailed account of the great businessman, and as the crowd listened in silence, Green took a sip of a medium local wine and then recounted: "Jones has traveled all over the world, and I have heard that he never stays in one place for more than three months, and I remember the last time I saw him was more than ten years ago. ”

"I said man, do you know where this Jones came from?"

Berlin asked.

"Well, I don't know the specifics, but I heard that Jones is from a noble background. In the beginning, he only dealt in magic items and weapons, but later his business expanded greatly to include food, schools, medicine, jewelry, gold, minerals, construction, and so on. In just 5 years, he covered his sphere of influence to wind, fire, and earth, most of the cities and major towns of the three countries, and later expanded his scope to the entire continent, alas, it is really unimaginable!"

"That's amazing!"

"yes, he must be very rich!"

Charles and Terry sighed excitedly.

"He's a big guy. ”

Berlin was interested in Jones's identity.

"Mr. Green, why are we looking for a sword made of rare ore?"

Boken, who was sitting on the left side of the table, asked. This question has caught everyone's attention.

"Good question, old friend. Well...the Orchid Ore is the ore with the highest known hardness, strength, and heat resistance, and smelting it requires a special magic item first. ”

"Magic items?"

Charles didn't know much about the term.

"Special props?"

"What's that?"

The Boken father and son asked, confused.

"It's a gemstone called Icestone, which comes from the northernmost part of the continent, near the 'Mountain of Despair'. It is the main material for crafting and smelting high-quality weapons and magical weapons. It is a rare and magical gemstone. Generally speaking, good ice stones are only available to royalty and nobles, or only they can afford them. It's about 1,000 gold coins each. ”

Berlin, who is also a blacksmith, explained very seriously.

"What??1000 gold coins...ordinary people can't save so much money in their lifetime!"

Terry exclaimed.

"How much is 1,000 gold coins?" I only have 30 copper coins in my pocket money..."

Charles was all thinking about the meaning of this amount, and he only knew that it was a lot of money. After Berlin finished speaking, the air entered a brief silence.

"Ahem, money is not the main issue. ”

Green said calmly.

His words drew the surprised glances of the father and son.

"First, let's visit Jones and ask him if he has any ice stones. By the way, the appearance of the undead is troublesome for the Berlin dudes and Mr. Boken to run. ”

"Naturally, leave it to us. ”

"Hmm. ”

Green nodded to the two of them and continued, "Okay, let's split up after dinner!"

When Berlin and Boken arrived at the garrison's residence, General Lane received an urgent report from his subordinates. It is said that in the Aoki Village generation, someone discovered the haunting of the undead. Ryan was confused about this.

After meeting with the blacksmiths Berlin and Boken, through their detailed introduction, Ryan was convinced of the authenticity of the undead. and began to arrange a garrison team, and personally led the team to Aoki Village to eliminate hidden dangers. Upon hearing the news of the undead in Aoki Village, Boken asked General Ryan to go with the garrison. After careful consideration, General Lane acceded to Boken's request.

On the other hand –

Green took Charles and Terry in a horse-drawn carriage and soon arrived at Jones' luxurious local residence.

"Wow! What a big house! Look, brother. ”

"Well, he's the richest businessman. ”

"You two, the interior of the house is even more remarkable. Let's go, I'll show you there. ”

Green and the two brothers went straight to the guard at the gate. The two guards were more than 185 centimeters tall and burly, they were wearing white light armor, light helmets of the same color, and two-handed long swords around their waists, which looked very powerful and awe-inspiring. Charles was even more excited when he saw the two guards.

"Who are you?"

The guard standing on the left asked.

"It's hard work, I'm Green, the owner of the Wind Weapons Shop, and my two nephews, and I heard that Mr. Jones is back, so I came to visit. ”

As he spoke, the experienced Green took out two silver coins from his pocket and handed them to each of them. The two looked at the money in their hands, and hurriedly replied happily: "It turned out to be Mr. Green, your news is correct, Mr. Jones has indeed returned." Come on, please come in!"

The guards were politely released.

"Thank you. There are some gifts I have prepared in the cart, so please drive the carriage in. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Charles, and Terry followed Green into the courtyard of the Jones house. Guided by the servants, the trio made their way through the well-designed courtyard to Jones's mansion.

Up close, the house appears larger. I don't know which one is bigger than the king's palace...'

Charles' mind wandered.

The interior is very elegantly furnished, and it looks even more magnificent against the backdrop of the candle flame. It can be seen that the owner of the house is a very tasteful upper-class person. Charles felt like he was in a dream, and he couldn't believe that what he was seeing was real.

After they were led to the living room, the servant politely withdrew.

Sitting on the soft sofa, Charles exclaimed, "Brother, Uncle Green, this sofa is so soft." ”

"Hehehe. Of course, this is the finest piece of furniture. ”

"Charles, don't be too loud, be quiet. ”

Terry said.

"Oh. ”

Charles realized his impoliteness and fell silent.

At this moment, a hearty laugh came from the direction of the door—

"Hahaha - it doesn't matter, the house is too quiet, it's rare to have children visit. ”

The three of them followed the voice, and Jon's tall body was slowly walking towards them.
