Section 34 Blacksmith's shop

"This is ......" Chen Yin held the old parchment, his face full of incredulity, "If the content on this letter paper is true, then this paper is 900 years old!?" How could it be so well preserved! ”

"Have you seen it? Please return it to me if you have seen it. The Duchess of Aishalamor held out her hand.

Chen Yin watched it up and down several times.

The contents of the parchment are not complicated, but they resemble a custody agreement.

The content is that Ivan Mogot gave his biography to the Church of Light for safekeeping. Emperor Mogot himself, or anyone authorized by the Emperor himself, could borrow the book from the Church of Light at any time or return it at any time, and the Church of Light could not interfere with the book's release for any reason.

The signature on the back bears not only the signature of Mogot I, but also the signature of the highest priest of the branch of the Church of Light.

"Have you seen enough?" The duchess's voice came alive.

"I'm sorry......" Chen Yin smiled embarrassedly and gave her the parchment.

"Isn't that right!?"

When he handed it halfway, Chen Yin suddenly realized something, and suddenly took the parchment back and read the name of the supreme priest again:

"McCarthy St. Joy Adams ......"

"McCarthy ?!?"

Chen Yin's hand trembled, and he handed the parchment back to the duchess.

"Speaking of which, the name of this first supreme priest is actually the same as someone I know, he is also a high-ranking member of the Holy Light Church, and his name is McCarthy......"

“…… Do you know that old disrespectful guy? The Duchess was taken aback.

"Uh, are you talking to me about the same person? I'm talking about an old man named McCarthy, who may be a high-ranking member of the Holy Light Church,......" Chen Yin thought for a moment, "It's disrespectful to the elderly, but it's a bit of a point." ”

"It's him." The Duchess's words changed: "Since you have finished reading it, then there are no doubts now, right?" If so, please leave. ”

"Well, goodbye." Chen Yin had no choice but to get up and say goodbye.

When Chen Yin walked to the door, Aisara's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Tell you the prince you represent, although the things are with me, he still needs to be qualified to enter the Tower of Knowledge before he can take the book from me."

……

"Bump."

The iron gate closed behind Chen Yin.

The gatekeeper who came out with Chen Yin shouted behind Chen Yin: "My master has instructed you not to talk nonsense with you next time you come back, just invite someone from the royal guard directly...... So, for the sake of your convenience, you'd better not come! ”

"Huh." Chen Yin snorted a sneer from his nose, waved his hand noncommittally, turned around and disappeared into the crowd.

Not coming?

Think beautifully.

No matter what the old emperor's idea is, Chen Yin must get his hands on that book.

Since the light is not good, then the dark will come.

Although Chen Yin has returned empty-handed, he is not without gains. Along the way, Chen Yin's attention was basically focused on the layout of the Duke's Palace, the staffing, the configuration of the open and dark posts, etc., the purpose......

He had been mentally prepared for this result before he came here.

"Next...... There is still a lot of preparatory work to be done. Chen Yin stretched and muttered to himself......

……

Arms Street is the most masculine place in the entire imperial capital.

The people who come and go here are basically tall and strong men, and there are countless scars on their bodies, and most of them have a vigilant face that no one should approach.

There are a lot of people who come here to buy weapons, including thieves and robbers, free mercenaries, and even petty aristocrats who buy weapons for their own private soldiers.

But no matter who comes, as long as you don't cause trouble or make trouble, you can shop here without being censored. In Imperial law, weapons are not restricted from trade, and only armor is a strategic item that the Empire restricts from being traded or exported.

And the empire's policy of only recognizing money and treating it without discrimination has contributed to the prosperity of Arms Street, but it has also created chaos.

Neither the pedestrians on the street nor the shopkeepers look like people to be messed with: one-eyed, buckteeth, severed limbs, and so on are just trivial, and there are even people whose bodies and looks are all out of shape.

In this nocturnal world, full of muscles and scars, a black-haired young man with a young face and a white dress is particularly eye-catching.

“…… Is this what Uncle Tim's part-time job looks like? Chen Yin ignored the prying eyes and raised his head to carefully observe the names of each shop.

"Hammer...... Hammer...... Armory. This is it, finally found! ”

As soon as he entered the store, Chen Yin found that it was completely different from what he imagined, there was neither a red-burning iron furnace nor a sweaty blacksmith. There are just rows of neat shelves and a pair of swords.

"What do you want to buy?" Recently, there was a dueling sword from the hand of Master Muter, inlaid with rubies and diamonds, and it sparkled when wielded, and it was simply ......"

"Alright, I'll find someone." Chen Yin hurriedly interrupted the young man. This guy must have regarded Chen Yin as a noble boy who yearns for a career as a swordsman. The weapon he had introduced, Chen Yin was completely uninterested at all at first - the sword was more of an ornament than a sword.

“…… Sorry, the person you're looking for isn't there. The young man snorted and turned his head to leave, and deliberately muttered to himself in a volume that Chen Yin could hear as he walked, "What kind of noble young master is the poor ghost pretending......"

"You're not introducing the right one, if I need it, I'll want this sword too."

Chen Yin's voice made the young waiter turn around without giving up.

"Matte finish, blue burnt body, sharp edge...... This is the sword that really kills. Chen Yin took down a long sword from the weapon rack and gently stroked the blade.

"It's the work of Tim Master, a new addition to our shop, and now you can buy it for only 20 gold......"

Before the waiter could finish speaking, the long sword in Chen Yin's hand was attached to his neck.

“…… You...... What are you doing? We're ...... here."

"Nothing, I'm looking for someone to build this sword." Chen Yin smiled kindly, "Let's see if this 20 gold long sword is really worth 20 gold?" Look carefully, don't get it wrong......"

"As far as I know, Uncle Tim can fight 4 or 5 swords a day with this quality, and if you sell them for 20 gold, Uncle Tim will already make enough money to resign and leave, right?"

“…… Belch...... Calm down, don't be impulsive. ”

"What's going on!? What is the noise!? A strong man peeked out from behind.

"Boss! He made trouble, he wanted to rob ...... Boil!! ”

"I'm looking for Tim." Chen Yin interrupted the young waiter's words with his fist.

"Heh, the person who beat me still wants the master I invited to come out? Boy, who do you think you are? The strong man smiled and picked up a heavy axe.

“…… I'm a friend of Tim and I've come to him for something. Chen Yin rolled his eyes, what's going on with this shop? How can one or two do this?

"Hmph, I don't believe it! You wait for me...... I'll ask. Although the strong man was unrelenting, he actually asked obediently! On the contrary, Chen Yin was stunned for a moment.

Seem......

Uncle Tim's prestige here is not low?

Let's see if we have time to make up 2,000 tomorrow morning......
