John and Lawrence then continued their way towards the South End.

"Big man, don't you want to know what purpose Annie's apostle has here?" At this time, Selena's voice sounded in John's ears, with a tone that was not afraid of making a big deal when she saw the excitement: "O Apostle of Annie, my orders will also be obeyed, and I can command her to tell her the purpose." ”

John looked at the road and whispered, "No, if there is something to do with us, she will come to us herself, and if it is not related to us, it is useless for us to inquire." ”

"Hmm...... The big man is really boring, aren't you curious at all? don't you want to know about such mysterious things?" Selena continued to tempt John, wanting to see John's expression that wanted to inquire but could not deny his words.

Knowing that John's expression was unmoved, Selena sighed: "Big man, can you be a little curious like a normal person?" John looked strange: "Should I ask?" "Well, you should ask." Selena replied quickly, with a cheerful tone in her tone. "But I really don't want to know. John touched his chin: "I've never been very interested in this kind of thing that has nothing to do with me. Selena's tone fell on the spot: "Then forget it." ”

John also knows that Selena is a child's character, and it is normal to be curious about these things, but she is just using herself as an excuse, after all, now Selena is arranged by Ter and Ann to help herself, which means that Selena has to put herself first and cannot act on her own, and now she encounters such an interesting thing for her, but because she can't find out, she is panicked.

So John thought for a moment and said, "Selena, if there is nothing to do now, you can go back to Nimitz City and play." ”

Selena heard this, and her voice became cheerful: "Really, really?

John whispered, "Yes." Now I'm going to find the people I know here, and most of those primordial souls have their own business now. And, wherever I call you, you can hear me, right?" Selena replied, "yes, I can hear it." "That's okay, you go play first, if there's something, I'll tell you to come over again." Selena heard this, laughed for a while and said, "Okay, if you have something, the big man can call me directly." Then I'll go first. "Go, go, go. When John replied, he felt a gust of wind blow across his face, knowing that it was Selena greeting him.

After the wind stopped, John looked around: there were still a lot of primordial spirits around, but they hadn't seen them, and they didn't know which ancient god their trader was. But...... Do you have to look for me now to buy and sell things?

The thought of being surrounded by a large number of people made John feel bad: he said he would take a vacation, but it turned out to be overtime, which was really troublesome.

Struggling to reduce his presence, John lowered his head and quickened his pace towards the South End.

Since the South Zone is an area for the manufacture and repair of standard munitions, and has become a military administration area, John went through several identity checks when he entered, and only after confirming that it was correct. This kind of examination was troublesome, but it was also beneficial, at least John could easily find out where old Simon was.

Walking to the address the guard had said, John quickly found the location of Old Simon. As John got there, he saw old Simon instructing a few young apprentice blacksmiths to walk from east to west, carrying ore and coal back and forth from time to time. Simon the Elder, when everything was ready, began to add coal and ore to the furnace for rough work.

Old Simon pulled the bellows and told the apprentices around him the tricks, such as the choice of ore, the choice of coal, which coal can heat up quickly, which coal burns longer, and what is the best proportion...... And so on, it can be said that he has shaken out his old bottom.

When John saw that old Simon was still busy, he was not in a hurry to go in and disturb him, so he leaned against the door and watched them go about their business.

Looking left and right, John didn't see little Simon's figure, and felt a little strange: Could it be that little Simon went out?

Just as he was thinking, he felt someone coming from behind him, so John looked back and saw that it was an officer.

The man looked at John who was leaning against the door, and then looked at John's outfit, and saw that he was wearing standard leather armor, and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes.

Of course, as a nobleman, he naturally will not directly show this emotion in front of people, and it is not a good habit to make enemies at will. The man quickly put away the contempt in his eyes, and then greeted him first, "Hello." ”

John saw him say hello, and according to etiquette, he also replied: "Good morning." ”

"I am the captain of the second brigade of the second brigade of the sixth regiment of the noble expeditionary knights, the court baron, Abel Janis. When John heard this, he naturally replied, "The captain of the first brigade of the third regiment of the Noble Expeditionary Knights, the viscount of the church, John Yuel Vulcan. ”

That person-Abel didn't expect that the person in front of him wearing standard leather armor actually had the same military rank as himself, and the title was higher than himself, and he was a little surprised.

After straightening up his spirits, Abel said, "Hello, hello." Are you here to buy gear?"

When John heard this, he was amused: "You are here to buy equipment?" "Of course, who doesn't know that the old Simon's blacksmith shop is the best, although it is not as good as the craftsmen of Nimitz, but now it is not so much to care about at the front line. By the way, why haven't I seen you before?" John said, "I was out before, and I just came back today to report on my work." "Wow, that's a shame. Abel knows that it is generally not a simple task for troops to carry out tasks without debriefing, and now that the other party has come back to debrief, it means that the task has been completed. And being able to complete special tasks means that this person is either very capable or has an unusual identity, of course, it is more likely that both are at the same time. Thinking of this, Abel couldn't help but feel a little more enthusiastic: "You know no, old Simon was just an ordinary blacksmith not long ago. I don't know where I got a set of shield swords, and it was with this set of shield swords that old Simon obtained a lord, although he was not an officially recognized nobleman, but he had already entered the nobility with one foot. I heard that at the same time, his son Simon Jr. also got the guidance of the master who made the shield sword, and his skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and now Simon's orders have been scheduled for next month. ”

John's face did not change much when he heard the news, but he was still happy for the old Simon father and son. Whether it's because of Simon Sr.'s title or Little Simon's craftsmanship. In this world, with a knighthood, you will not be arbitrarily manipulated, and with craftsmanship you will have the foundation of life, and since these two fathers and sons have gained, John will naturally be happy when he considers himself their friend.

Hearing the movement at the door, Old Simon turned his head to see John and Abel talking to John, and Old Simon handed the hammer in his hand to an apprentice beside him. Without seeing the look of surprise on the face of the apprentice with the hammer and the envious look in the eyes of the other apprentices looking at the apprentice with the hammer, old Simon walked over quickly: "John! I didn't expect to see you here again!"

John waved his hand: "Old Simon, congratulations." Old Simon walked over and hugged John hard: "Congratulations, if it weren't for the equipment you built, I'd still be just an ordinary blacksmith." ”

At this time, old Simon remembered Abel next to him and said, "Mr. Abel, your equipment is ready, wait a minute, I'll let them bring it to you." After turning around and instructing an apprentice, he said, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect to meet an old friend here, so we left first." ”

John was dragged by old Simon to the back of the blacksmith's shop: "Let's go, it's rare to see you here, and I have to get together today." Then he told the apprentice who had just brought Abel's equipment to call little Simon over.

John was dragged away by old Simon, and suddenly remembered Lawrence, and said, "Old Simon, I have a friend who is a merchant, and I haven't found a place to live this time, do you have any shelter here?"

Old Simon said, "John's friend, that's fine, although two of the courtyard are now requisitioned, but there are still two empty rooms in the courtyard for people." ”

When John heard this, he said, "Well, I'll bring him in the afternoon." He is a trader, and if you need to buy anything and it is inconvenient for you to go by yourself, you can also mention it to him. That's right. Speaking of this, John remembered the title of old Simon: "I heard that Abel say, you exchanged that set of shields and swords for a title?"

"Ah, yes, that's right. Old Simon recalled: "After you were gone, a smuggling party of nobles came back from there and passed by us, and stumbled upon the set of shields and swords. Then their owner ordered them to buy it, so I asked for a high price. As he spoke, old Simon looked at John: "Although I don't know the identity of their master, the one who can give a lord title without hesitation must not be an ordinary person, and I can feel that they gave me a title because they want you to join them - after all, just one set of shield swords can get a lord and a lot of silver, and those who can build this set of shield swords will definitely get more." ”

John shrugged: "I didn't think about it that much. Since it has been given to you, it is your destiny to get anything. I'm glad to know you're doing well now. ”

Old Simon smiled: "You are really ...... By the way, I'll stay with us tonight, and I'll ask little Simon to buy more wine and meat. ”

John thought for a moment and shook his head: "This can't work, I have to live in the officer's station arranged by them now, so as not to find no one in case of emergency." ”

"Oh, you're still an officer. "Old Simon only knew that John's blacksmithing skills were amazing, but he didn't expect that it didn't take long for John to become an officer.

John nodded: "But now I don't have a military position, let's see how they arrange." ”
