Volume 1 The Birth of a Baby Dragon Chapter 38 The Hidden Master Blacksmith in the Town
"I think you've probably heard the name Drassel." Draxel continued.
"Oh, so you're the baron, the good guy who just won a big battle in Uxhall......" At this moment, the robber's eyes gradually showed a trace of timidity.
"Well, you're fairly well-informed, so we can talk about it now, and give me that woman and that child, so you don't have to bleed."
"Baron, we give you a face, but even if you want to take them, you need a ransom of 1700 dinars."
"My face is only worth 300 dinars? Well, it's not easy for you to rob houses, the money is here. β
In order to ensure the safety of the hostages, Drassel pretended to give up and gave the other party 1,700 dinars first.
"Very well, they're handed over to you, and it won't matter to us if they're taken again, Baron." The robbers let the women and children go.
Motioning to the women and children, Drassel walked behind him, and just as the robbers were about to turn away, Drassell stopped them.
"Hey, this is leaving? We still have business to do. β
"What else? The hostages have been handed over to you. β
"You need to pay a toll when you pass through here, and the nearby village of Alberon is my territory in Drassell."
This wave of commotion has confused the robbers, and it is not clear who is the robber for a while.
Before the robber came to his senses, Draxel said, "I'll give you a face, and I'll pay 100 for each person, and give me 2,000 in total." β
"Baron, I advise you, if you are sick, go to the doctor. Don't ...... here."
Before the robber could finish speaking, Drassell quickly raised his sword and said, "Poof! With a bang, the head of the bandit leader was cut off in an instant!
The disparity in strength made the remaining 19 robbers tremble without a fight and tremble in place.
Drassel picked up the 1,700 he had just given and said, "You still have 300 dinars to me, do you want to die or do you want money?" β
The 19 robbers were so frightened that they hurriedly scraped together 300 dinars and offered them with both hands.
"Very good, let's go, don't bully anyone in my territory in the future, otherwise you will have no money and life, and next time you won't be so lucky, I won't give you a chance to choose."
The robbers said yes and fled. Satisfied, Draxel took the women and children to the village of Aberon.
The village of Ebrun is still prosperous, and the villagers are working hard to live in harmony and happiness.
Finding nothing unusual here, Drasser bought a cow for 200 dinars, and let it pull a simple wooden cart with women and children on it.
In this way, the journey back will be much easier and more convenient, and it will also make the women and children suffer less, and it will be too hard to walk that far.
The journey home went well, and soon they were back in the town of Uxhall.
With a smile on his face, Draxel took the women and children to the mayor.
"Thank you! Our esteemed hosts, you managed to bring them back! Here is the remuneration of 500 dinars. β
"The reward is not needed, this resident has already taken out the ransom of 2,000, which is not a small amount, 500 will be kept to live a good life."
Hearing this, the woman was grateful, knelt on the ground, and said with tears in her mouth: "You are really the benefactor of our family, and we are so happy to have you in Uxhall!" β
[Town Uxhall Opinion +5.] γ
γMission Accomplishedγ
[You managed to save the residents' wives and children. γ
[Evaluation: I didn't expect that you are quite generous and kind, and you will spend an extra 200 to take care of the residents on the road, please insist on such a good behavior.] γ
Occasionally hearing rainbow farts from the system, Draxle was a little happy.
He was just about to leave, and returned to the lord's hall to report his safety to Safiya and the others, when the woman spoke again:
"My honorable master, can this cow be left to me?"
"No problem, you can take it."
"Thank you, I am very good at cooking beef, I hope tonight, I can add one more dish to your dinner, I will deliver it to the door of the lord's hall and wait for it, you can send someone out to pick it up."
"Huh? Why bother, I can go straight to your house for dinner. β
The woman looked embarrassed and explained, "This ...... My honorable master, you are a noble leader, you are an earl, how dare we commoners eat with you......"
Drassel replied with a smile: "Don't worry so much, I'll go to your house for dinner in the evening, I'll go and call Safiya and them, and I'll come later." β
Soon, Draxel returned to the lord's hall and spoke to them about it, and Safiya gladly accepted.
After a brief wash and change, Drasel took Safiya and Wren, the young dragon, to the woman's house.
The woman's home is quite spacious, and the man must have developed quite well, otherwise he would not have been able to make up the ransom of 2,000 dinars.
"Good evening, my noble master, this is Miss Safiya, you are so beautiful."
Safiya had a smile on her face and whispered, "Your eyes are so good, baron, did you hear it, she praised me for being beautiful~"
"Yes, yes, my princess Safiya, you are beautiful."
[You and Safiya have +2 friendship, currently 50.] γ
Draxle looked around and asked, "Why don't you see the man of your house?" β
"He'll be back soon, he's a swordsmith who usually works late."
As soon as he heard this, Draxel was immediately interested. "Oh? The blacksmith who forged the sword, how good is he? β
The woman replied: "I don't know much about this, but my husband, who once forged a sword for King Haraus X of Swadia. β
"That's enough to show that his skills are perfect, and he is a good sword-maker."
"My honorable master, you have won the prize......"
At this point, the blacksmith also came home, and he had heard everything from the mayor.
When he returned home, the blacksmith first cried with joy, hugged his wife and children tightly, and finally the family was reunited.
Then he knelt down in front of Draxle and said gratefully:
"Thank you, my esteemed host! I've also heard that you hired an ox cart to carry them on the road, and you haven't been paid yet, and you are really a benefactor to our family! β
Good fellow, it's not that a family doesn't enter the door, and even the words are the same, this benefactor of our whole family is deeply imprinted in Draxel's mind.
Draxel helped him up and said, "Get up, what's your name?" β
"My name is Aubrey Jesliman, and I'm a blacksmith."
"It's too hard to remember, I'll call you Lao Ao in the future, Lao Ao, I heard that your ability to forge swords is a must."
"You've won the prize, I just practice makes perfect."
"Well, you're humble, I like it. It's not early, let's eat first, let's talk while eating. β
