After Liu Ruofeng, Li Yufeng, Li Yuhe, and the demon broke up at the city gate, the demon returned to the charcoal sales point.

Zhao Laosan, Zhang had already returned, and when he saw the demon, he said excitedly: "Sure enough, there are 2 people who came to destroy our refined charcoal mine, one burned our refined charcoal, and the other went to the roadway to sabotage." We captured them and interrogated them, and it turned out that these two people were sent by everything. We detain people and wait for everything to be done. What's next?"

"Is there a catcher?" would you like to testify?" the demon asked.

"The catchers are willing to testify, and I have a good relationship with them. Zhang Ben said.

"Everything will be private, and he doesn't want to make a big deal out of it. Ask him to write a letter of guarantee that he will not fight us again. Or find a guarantor, or a guarantor. If you don't come to the private office after two days, you will send people to the yamen and make a big deal about it. There is a quick arrest to testify to us, everything can't turn over, but don't hurt people. The demon said in deep thought.

"Good. Just do as you say. Zhao Laosan and Zhang Benben said happily and loudly.

The demon thought to himself, "Now to go to the mines, it's too late." The auction house should also go less, the last book, don't leak. Rest today and continue to run the mine tomorrow. There are 11 days left for the school to start, and it will take me 8 days to go back to Surabaya City, and I can stay in Yangcheng for 3 days at most, so hurry up. ”

In the evening, Zhao Laosan and Zhang Ben came to tell the demon that everything had come to the private place, took away the two saboteurs, and wrote a letter of guarantee.

The demon said, "This matter is over. There is a man left on the mine to guard the mine. Tomorrow I will find a few confidants to divide the refined charcoal into three categories according to the standards I gave you, mark them well, separate them as much as possible, and break them up, that is, each pile, not too much, and a certain distance between them to prevent the refined charcoal from spontaneously combusting. First the point of sale, then the mine. This classification is not to be disseminated. I'm going to visit other mines tomorrow, and I'll leave this matter to you. ”

Early the next morning, the demon's plan was disrupted again. Li Yufeng, Li Yuhe, and Liu Ruofeng are here again. The demon can't go to the mine again.

The greetings between the four have ended. Li Yufeng: "Two things. One is to thank you for saving your life yesterday. ”

The demon waved his hand and said, "Not really." Those robbers may only want to rob money, not hurt people, and it is appropriate for their companions to take care of each other. So it's not a lifesaver. ”

Li Yufeng, Li Yuhe, and Liu Ruofeng said: "I still want to thank you for not leaving us alone." ”

Li Yufeng continued: "The second thing: we told the elders what happened yesterday. The elders praised you for your good kung fu, good people, not discarding your companions in crisis situations, and being so young that you are a forger and forging second-level. The second level of the casting and forging master is much higher than that of our pharmacist and the second level of the plant artist. Ask us to be as if you were learning. Didn't you go to school in the school in Surabaya City, and I want us to go to this school in Surabaya City to learn and improve our skills as an example. ”

Li Yufeng, Li Yuhe, and Liu Ruofeng said in unison: "I hope you will give me some advice." ”

The demon said modestly: "Pointing doesn't count. Everyone helps each other. The school in Surabaya City consists of two parts, one part of which is to take the exam, and the school selects the best students and the tuition fee is lower. The other part is to transfer at any time to study, the tuition fee is more expensive, the tuition fee of this casting and forging major I studied is 20 taels per month, regardless of food and accommodation. I didn't care about other majors, so I didn't know. I suggest that you go early and learn more about the situation of the school before signing up. There are 10 days left before the registration time. ”

"I have a house in Surabaya City, so I don't live in a school. The address of my house is, you can copy it. ”

Li Yufeng, Li Yuhe, and Liu Ruofeng copied down the address and said, "Are you going with us?"

The demon thought to himself: "I haven't gotten the money for the Qinglin Sect's Twelve Meridian Luck Essence Book that I put up for auction, how dare I go!" and said, "I want to escort some refined charcoal from Yangcheng back to Surabaya City, so I take a cargo ship." The food and accommodation of cargo ships are extremely poor, especially for women. ”

The demon said: "The cheapest kind of passenger ship from Yangcheng to Surabaya City is generally 8 days, the medium one is 10 days, and the luxury passenger ship takes 12 days. You have to plan well. “

Li Yufeng, Li Yuhe, and Liu Ruofeng said: "We understand. ”

Liu Ruofeng said: "I have one more thing to trouble the demon brother, I have two things here, can you see if you can fix it?"

The demon took the things that Liu Ruofeng handed over and observed them carefully. One handle is a dagger, which is a high-grade alloy cast and forged, and there is a crack. One is a short sword, a high-grade alloy cast and forged with aura, with a bend and two notches.

The demon said, "You can all fix it." But I don't have a casting and forging room now, so I can't repair it, so I can only see if I can rent the casting and forging room of the Foundry and Forging Association for 1 hour, because the casting and forging site of the blacksmith shop is too poor and the fuel is too inferior, so I can't do it. ”

As a second-level leather artist, Liu Ruofeng understands that making objects is to pay attention to the working environment and tools. If you want to do something, you must first sharpen your tools.

Liu Ruofeng said: "My father has already communicated with the Foundry and Forging Association, and it's okay. ”

The demon said, "Then go now." How?"

The four of them said they would go. Coming to the Foundry and Forging Association, after Liu Ruofeng communicated with the president of the association, the president of the association gave a casting and forging room that was in use. The four of them came to the forging room. The president of the association also came to see the excitement.

Because it is being used, there is no need for the demon to make preparations such as starting a fire. The demon inserted the short sword and dagger directly into the blacksmith furnace, and took out his own spirit hammer from his backpack.

"The Spirit Hammer is good. The president of the Casting and Forging Association recognized the goods and exclaimed.

Seeing that the calcination of the short sword had met the requirements, the demon used fire tongs to clip out the short sword and put it on the workbench with fire tongs in his left hand, and the spirit hammer held in his right hand hammered once on each side of the short sword, and corrected the bending of the short sword. Then hammer each side of the notch, a total of 4 hammers in the two notches, and then set aside to cool.

The demon picked up the dagger with tongs and put it on the workbench, because the dagger had cracks, so it burned for a longer time. Hit 3 hammers on each side of the dagger crack. Then set the dagger aside and wait for it to cool. Because it is repaired, there is no need to quench, and there is more damage to the weapon if there is more quenching.

When the dagger and dagger cooled, the demon put the dagger and dagger to his ear, and flicked the back of the blade of the dagger and dagger with his fingers, and the dagger and dagger made a pleasant sound. The demon handed the short sword and dagger to Liu Ruofeng and said, "Okay." ”

The demon put away his spirit hammer, put it in his backpack, and fastened it.

The president of the Forge and Forge Association asked the demon: "You are a second-level caster, right? The first-level one can't cultivate, and the third-level one is too young, that's impossible." There are only two grades. But it's not like you're level 2 at your age, right?

The demon replied, "More than 15 years old, less than 16 years old." Second-class caster. ”

The president of the association groaned, "There is only one person in history who has reached the second level of forging and forging at this age. ”

The demon said in his heart, "There is another three." I also said I was the only one. "Since the demon has been studying, he has learned badly, he is modest on the surface, but he is not modest at all in his heart.

Then the president had an idle time with the demons, pulling the sky and the earth, the guild, the forging and forging, and finally the life, the house, and the woman.

In the end, the president invited the demon and his party to dinner, in fact, the so-called invitation to dinner is the working meal of the Casting and Forging Association.

Then it's time to say goodbye to each other and cherish each other.

This toss demon can't go to the mine again. The demon plans to go tomorrow.

The demon returned to the sales point and saw Zhao Laosan and Zhang Benben's classified fine charcoal. After the demon inspection, he said to Zhao Laosan and Zhang Ben: "The first-grade charcoal is sold to this subway craftsman shop on the spot, and the price of second-level and third-grade refined charcoal is much higher, so keep it and wait for my news." When I get a message back to Surabaya City, you will send it to Surabaya City by cargo ship. ”

The demon continued: "Don't mine the refined charcoal mine we acquired for the time being, just leave it like this. The first is to wait for me to go back to Surabaya City to learn how to mine, and it is cheaper to transport new technologies and then mine. Second, we now have to buy other mines, including refined carbon mines and various metal mines. There is a refined carbon ore in Yangcheng, and the metal ore is also very good, I plan to sell not only minerals, but also alloys, that is, to process alloy ores into alloys and sell them in Yangcheng, and the profits will be better. ”

"As for the forger, I have a lot of classmates in the school. It takes a lot of resources and a lot of harsh conditions to get a second-level caster to a third-level caster. Some students have no hope of upgrading, so they will find another way out. As long as we give enough conditions, we will find a large number of first- and second-level casters. ”

"Transportation is also a big cost. We must take the waterways around the mine and control the transportation. It was the two rivers that we had seen together in the herringbone that I planned to put the site for casting and forging alloys there, and at the same time build a wharf. If you want to get rich, build roads first. Be sure to control the waterways first, as shipping is the cheapest. Now there are barren beaches on both sides of the waterway, and no one will pay attention to it, and the price will be very cheap. Acquired minerals are temporarily on the back burner. Don't tell anyone about the acquisition of mines and waterways, as soon as the news spreads, everyone will know, and everyone has a strange place to live, so the only way to buy waterways is to buy them at a high price. ”

"But to do that, we need a lot of money. We're just raising money now. Then care about some information about the mining area, pick it up if it is cheap, and forget it if it is not. To do a good job in the relationship with the black and white roads of Yangcheng, there is no need to rush to mining. Now keep a low profile, and wait for us to take most of the minerals and then do it with great fanfare. ”

"That's a good idea. I plan to sell my house and business in another place and move to Yangcheng to live. It took root here. Zhang Benben said excitedly.

"I have 2 days to go back to Surabaya City at most. Then I'll leave it to you, uncle. The demon said to Zhao Laosan.

Zhao Laosan replied, "Okay." ”

"I'm going to go back and deal with my house and business assets first, and then move in with you. It's better for me to be brothers. Zhang originally said to Zhao Laosan.

"Good. I have a place to eat. Zhao Laosan laughed.
