Chapter 49: An Unexpected Joy (I)

Because Archmage Medivan is a man of great knowledge and a wide range of hobbies, and he also keeps a lot of horses in the tower for himself and his friends to drive in the territory of Karazan, then there is an extremely important part of raising horses, which is to nail the horseshoe. It is important to know that the reason why horses can gallop long distances is because there is a thick layer of keratin where the horse's hooves come into contact with the ground, which protects the active tissues of the horse's hooves like human fingernails. This layer of thick horseshoe will be gradually worn out due to the friction of the ground and the corrosion of stagnant water, and in serious cases, it will split and fall off, resulting in injury to the horse's hooves, so nailing the shoe to protect the horse's hooves is absolutely not something that can be ignored by raising horses, and nailing the horseshoes is not once and for all, it is necessary to regularly inspect, repair and even replace, and trim the overgrown cuticle, so the blacksmith Kureen is an indispensable servant for the archmage who loves horses.

After banishing Sargeras's projection, Khadgar agreed to a "limited investigation" of Karazan by the Violet Eye. "If we could have known more about what Medivan had done when he was occupied, perhaps we would have been better prepared for the war that followed" – the Violet Eye at least claims. They had always coveted the Archmage or his vast library of books, no, they had been following it for a long time, and the blacksmith's entry into the Tower of Medivan was actually employed by the Order, and although it was not part of the Violet Eye, it had a lot to do with them.

It wasn't until he talked to Kurein, who was sitting alone, that Jin Shaolan realized that he had made a mistake. In the game, the blacksmith does sell some items unique to the Violet Eye, but unfortunately they are three blueprints for forged plate armor, and the reputation of the Violet Eye organization needs to be at least respected, and on the other hand, each of them costs 24 gold......

Holy Light on the top, yesterday's concert of the day in Alterac (not ...... Coming down brought him an income of 4 gold coins and 4 silver coins, even if he was a "loser" who "spent money like dirt" and casually took out two and a half gold coins to buy wine and drink, at this time he also understood how generous and favored the 20 gold start-up capital given to him by the space. And Karazan's investigation mission does not have to be fought, and the base reward for each round has been reduced to 75 silver, so it is conceivable that it is a fantasy to buy the blueprints back and resell them by doing tasks here to get 72 gold - this is not to mention whether Jin Shaolan can sell them smoothly, and when and when he can meet the conditions of the Violet Eye's respect and prestige......

Kureen looked a little worried, distracted. "Jinna......" he murmured, his face full of sorrow that made the burly man look pitiful, "beautiful Jinna, mighty Jinna...... She only stayed in the reception room, and never came to the stables to look at the beautiful foals......"

"Can we share your worries, Coolen?" Finley smiled and asked, "I've seen Lady Kina today, and she seems to be quite busy, and I think that's why she didn't come to admire your horses." ”

"No, no," Kurenn waved his hand in a panic, "I, I'm just a blacksmith...... I, I didn't plan to let her know, to let Jinna know...... I...... I just wanted her to come and see the beautiful foal......"

His voice was low, and he poked at the cereal on the plate in frustration.

Finley smiled good-naturedly. He patted Kuren's shoulder affectionately, "Kuren, my friend, I believe that the choice should be given to Ms. Kinna. I could ask her if she would like to come and see the foal, maybe she's just too busy, and I'll come back and tell you if she's interested in coming and see it in her free time. ”

The blacksmith's face was a mixture of surprise and self-pity, and he muttered a few words, "This, how is this good...... I'm just a blacksmith...... It's just a blacksmith......" and finally raised his head as if he had made up his mind.

"First...... "Sir," he asked, rubbing his hands together and trying to do so, "can you ...... Can you ......?"

Kuraine said, taking out a small red chrysanthemum, "Bring this, bring this to Kinna...... No, no, don't name me...... Say, say, 'One of your admirers,'......"

He held up the little red flower, buried his head deeply, and never dared to raise it again.

Finley smiled understandingly, and gently took the little flowerβ€”it wasn't a phantom. He said softly, "No problem, leave it to me, right?" ”

Jin Shaolan, who was smiling and watching, was stunned for a moment at this time. Just now, the Mark of Nightmares reminded him that "The Contractor 181958 has shared with you the side quest: the heart of Kuren. ”

"Side Quest: Curain's Heart"

"Mission content: Transfer Xiao Liju to Jinna on behalf of Kureen."

"Mission Description: The blacksmith, who is too humble to show his heart, asks you to give a little chrysanthemum to his favorite lady Kina on his behalf. Don't you need me to show you how to do it, right? ”

"You will receive: the friendship of the blacksmith Kuren."

"Are you going to accept this assignment, yes/no?"

He looked at Finley in amazement. "Ah, of course you're the friendly and reputable to deal with that lady," Finley whispered, blinking slyly, "doctor, you wouldn't have failed to find out that lady was Violet's agent, would you?" ”

It didn't take much of their time. When he returned to reply to the blacksmith Kuren, the scene was still vivid.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Alas,"

Jin Na, who didn't pay much attention to them at first, improved her attitude a lot after recognizing Jin Shaolan, and sighed even more after Finley took out the flower and explained that it was "from one of your admirers".

"Coolen, I know it's his gift......"

Dressed as a maid, she took the small red flower and was full of amazement. But from this lady, both Jin Shaolan and Finley's perceptions suggest that she is an object not to be offended. Unlike blacksmiths, cooks, and others, she is a living person in the truest sense of the word.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ This tower of the secret law......"

In the end, Agent Kina could only shake her head in confusion. "Thank you." The lady was relieved of her negativity in a moment, and said to them, "Please tell Coolen, I'm curious about those pretty ponies, and I'll go and see them when I'm done with them." ”

When he relayed this reply to the blacksmith, he was overjoyed and saddened the two of them. "Thank you, thank you, gentlemen, thank you......" he would just say over and over again, rubbing his hands together with joy. After calming down, Kureen seemed to think of something. Although he was a little hesitant, he still spoke:

"You see, gentlemen, I am a blacksmith.

"That's why warriors always come to me to take care of their weapons and armor.

"Yesterday, a couple of adventurers like you came. They left quickly, but when I was sorting through my toolbox in the morning, I found this-

"I don't know where it came from, I don't know where I can't read.

"It could only be that a few gentlemen who came yesterday accidentally dropped them, but I couldn't find them anywhere.

"Gentlemen, I never thought of stealing it awayβ€”so can I give it to you?"

What Curainn took out was an ordinary notebook with "Diary" printed on the cover. Then he looked at them with a blank eye.

But the appearance of this plastic crust in Karazan itself is unusual. Jin Shaolan and Finley both saw a surprise in each other's eyes.
