Chapter 22: Master Powell

Jupiter watched Bart disappear into the end of the street before shaking his head and sighing. Even an outsider, El could see that he was by no means worried about himself.

The sudden upheaval did not dampen the old businessman's strong mind, he pondered for a moment before raising his head and asking El Zhengse, "How sure can you deal with that Bart?"

"It's easy to kill him, just one arrow. El thought for a moment and said, "But if it's a tough fight, he's very resistant." That guy seems to be reckless, but in fact he is cunning and vicious, and it is difficult to entangle such a person. ”

"I see. Jupiter gritted his teeth, and his eyes changed: "Come with me, take your things, and we'll go find a master to make equipment for you." ”

The old merchant is now penniless and poor, but he is not in a hurry to deal with the goods in his hands. Today, there is such a big fuss, it won't take half a day for the whole city to know. It is the nature of businessmen to make heavy profits, and it is very normal for them to take the opportunity to reduce prices, and it is inevitable to lose money when selling goods at this time.

He called Kevin out of the carriage, checked that it was not smashed, and pulled El into the carriage. Riding in a horse-drawn carriage in the city is a status symbol, and even though it's just a two-seater carriage without a canopy, it's also a must-have outfit. Even if the disaster is not a one-way street, the business must continue, and the faΓ§ade is indispensable.

Kevin had been beaten up this morning, and his head was beaten into a pig's head. But he didn't care much about himself, and he was still a silly look with a hippie smile. After this fight, his attitude towards El became much kinder. It's actually very simple to want to be friends with the Xi people, and if you fight together, he won't treat you as an outsider.

The wagon crumbled over the gravel road, making the sound of salad salad. El reclined to the side of his seat, observing the city with great interest. Isttalon used the original military fortress as the inner city and expanded outward to create a residential area within a radius of 20 miles. The commercial boom did not hide the iron-blooded taste of the city itself, and the well-laid out streets, angular watchtowers on the rooftops, and soldiers who shuttled back and forth built a huge hidden defense network for the entire city.

The passage of time did not dampen the White Lion Family's will to fight, they just curled up and fell into a deep sleep. From the resolute eyes of those regular army soldiers, Riel could see that this was an extremely dangerous war beast. One day, when he opens his eyes, he will be swept in all directions and rivers of blood will flow.

"Bart used to be the leader of the gang in Eastalen, and he used to have a very powerful slave hunting team. The old merchant spoke, "Later...... He was cheated by my girl and sentenced to 20 years in prison. I don't know how this bastard escaped. ”

El's face was shocked and dumbfounded. He wasn't frightened by Bart, but in his impression, that guy was obviously a ruthless and vicious person, such a person was actually killed by the eldest lady he had never met, how wicked is the daughter of the old businessman?

He immediately sketched in his mind the image of a noble lady shaking a small fan and wearing a costume with plump breasts. In my memory, many of the nobles in Queensland City who attracted bees and butterflies were like that.

"It was he who provoked Miss at the beginning, and he was taught a lesson that he was not honest, and he deserved to be unlucky. Kevin looked unconvinced.

"Shut up, what do you know?" Jupiter patted Kevin's head and sighed with a bitter face, "My girl's enmity with him is deeper than my enmity with Bajal." Bart is a poisonous snake, and he will definitely fight her idea when he comes out this time. It doesn't matter what my old bones are, but no matter how smart that little girl is, she is still a girl after all, I am afraid that she will be mistaken by her cleverness if she is smart, and she will suffer a big loss when the time comes. ”

"So you're going to arm me now, at least to be able to suppress Bart?" El tilted his head and pondered in his heart, "Boss, why do I think you mean anything else?"

"Aha, nothing, nothing. Jupiter laughed dryly, and coughed awkwardly in El's suspicious eyes: "Wasn't there no way back just now, I was prepared for the worst." El, if you can come up with money to help me, you can see that you are a person who values righteousness over wealth. Do you know why I dug up all the girl's dowry money at that time? At that time, I thought, it's a big deal to marry the girl to you. The girl in my family has no choice in terms of appearance, character, and talent, even the little patriarch of the White Lion family is worthy of it. If you don't catch up with this......"

El was terrified when he heard this, daring to provoke a villain like Bart and pit people to death, how capable is that girl? He thinks he is not a smart person, and his wife is better to find a sensible and obedient person, otherwise she may be sold and help others count the money.

Along the way, the old merchant let the old merchant boast about his daughter, and El only pretended not to hear. However, the resentment on Kevin, who was driving the car, continued to accumulate, and he turned around from time to time and glared at El gloomily, which made El feel furious.

The horse-drawn carriage left the downtown area and headed south through the bustling commercial streets into the quiet old town. The old merchant said that there was a master here who lived in seclusion and opened a small and inconspicuous workshop.

Powell is a well-known master craftsman in Isttalen, who served the White Lion family fifty years ago and has won the favor of successive lords with his exquisite craftsmanship. Although he is now retired at home and the workshop is run by his own apprentices, he is still one of the most prestigious patriarchs in the city.

Ordinary businessmen, even if they have a lot of money, don't want to meet Master Powell, but Jupiter met him decades ago. At that time, both of them were still apprentices who had just entered the industry, and after decades, they could be regarded as old drinking friends.

When he arrived, he looked up and saw that it was an enchantment workshop, and it turned out that this Master Powell was not a leather maker or a blacksmith, but an enchanter who specialized in crafting sophisticated magical equipment!

The materials on high-level magical beasts such as the Flying Feather Velociraptor, which are simply cut into leather armor, are equivalent to tyrannical objects, and can only be made into powerful equipment with special effects through enchanters.

The person in charge of the workshop was an inconspicuous middle-aged man, who was very familiar with the old businessman, knew his relationship with his master, and after a little greeting, he led the three of them to the backyard.

The yard was small, but spotlessly clean, and under the thick cedar tree, an old man, who did not look at all immaculate, lay on a rocking chair and chewed his pipe, looking like he was enjoying his old age. Hearing the footsteps, the old man opened one eye and glanced at it, just in time to see Jupiter's shiny skull shining, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but tremble.

"Who's here? Isn't this the honest and trustworthy boss, Mr. Jupiter?"

Although the words were good, they came out of the old man's mouth with a strange yin and yang atmosphere.

"I have won awards, and the noble and glamorous Master Powell naturally looks down on us guys who are covered in copper smell. ”

Jupiter laughed and quietly fought back. He sat down next to the old man, and suddenly turned cold: "You old dog, you will spew feces all over your mouth when you see people." If you don't say a few nice words today, I'll exploit you clean. ”

"Huh, so tough, looks like you're here prepared today. Powell sat up in some surprise, and in his impression, the old businessman had this attitude, most likely because he had something good in his hands. The old merchant traveled outside with a caravan, and although it was hard and dangerous, there were occasional big gains.

Jupiter slowly pulled out a cut of dragon jerky and shook it in front of Powell's eyes.

The old man's face changed, he took away his pipe, leaned over and sniffed, and his eyes immediately lit up: "This is dragon meat?"

"I don't know, how can I, a rich man, know so much. Jupiter said, teasing Powell's curiosity with his eyes.

"Cut, isn't it a wurm species, an earth dragon or a flying dragon?" Powell pouted, with a look of disdain, "Old man, don't you just hand over this kind of business to the kid in the front hall?" Although wurm skin is precious, it is not a rare material with no price, so don't show it in front of me." ”

"Huh?" Jupiter snorted, sucking the dragon jerky back into his bag, and stood up to leave. "Let's go, don't talk nonsense with this old dog full of nonsense, let's go to the other house. ”

Er couldn't help but have a headache when he looked at the two old guys who were lifting each other's bars, the relationship between the two was obviously a very good friend, but I am afraid that he would suffer if he continued to stalemate like this.

"But...... Didn't you say that he was the most famous master craftsman in Isttalon, boss?"

As a junior, El decided to give them a step to stop by.

"Can fame represent strength?" Jupiter stubbornly insisted: "This old thing is now old and dizzy, and it is estimated that the little craftsmanship when he was young has long been lost to the ditch." ”

"Fart! I don't like you like that. Powell spat out a smoke ring at the old businessman, turned his head to look at El and smiled: "Young man, is your prey? ”

"Master Powell, I'm doing things for the boss right now. El smiled and said that he was now a grasshopper tied to a rope with the old merchant, and of course he had to take care of his boss's face.

At the suggestion of Jupiter's eyes, El took out the folded dragon skin from his backpack and spread it out with both hands. After the initial treatment, the dragon skin still retains its original blue color, and the smooth scales reflect strange light under the sunlight.

"Huh, this is a velociraptor ...... It's a pity that I was caught by a bear...... No, why are the scratches so shallow? Is this ......?" Powell's eyes widened, and his lazy appearance disappeared in an instant, and he threw down his pipe and rushed over with an arrow, almost touching his face to the skin......

"Oh, I was caught by a bear?" Jupiter held back a smile, "Er, why didn't you say it earlier, how could such a tattered leather be a shame for Master Powell! ”

He's just getting cheap and selling well, and he's just disgusting.

"Oh, got it. El scratched his head, and cooperated with the appearance of being honest and obedient, and was about to put it away.

"Don't, don't, wait!" Powell finally became anxious, he wanted to reach out and grab the dragon skin, but was stopped by Jupiter with a smile.

"Oh brother, you are really ......" Powell gritted his teeth and squeezed out a smile, "We have been friends for many years, you are just a careful person, and you can't joke." Come on, sit down and drink some water. ”

"I think you seem to be very reluctant, brother. Jupiter touched the beard on the side of his mouth with a reluctant expression, and his heart was already very refreshed.

The Flying Feather Velociraptor is a sub-dragon beast, and it is a rare material for enchanters to make a perfect display of ability. But even in a big city like Istalen, it's hard to come by. He had only witnessed it once or twice in his years of businessmanship, and he did not believe that Powell would not be tempted.

"Brother, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Powell wiped a handful of non-existent tears on his face and smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum. "Let's go, go to my room, I have some good wine, let's have a drink or two, let's talk slowly." ”

"What's so embarrassing about that. Jupiter pretended to excuse himself.

This old slut!

The two old men scolded at the same time in their hearts.
