Episode 1 Martial Arts Master Chapter 141 Magic Iron Furnace
The message magic transmission array was activated to transmit the news back to Elida City. The Prime Minister and the camera convened several emergency meetings. After waiting for two days, the news of the award came back, saying that the members of the delegation had worked hard and had a commendable spirit and were worthy of praise.
He expressed his condolences for what happened to Prince Tortheldrin and requested that he return to Elida City within five days when the matter was completely settled.
This was something that officials who had been stationed in Guiwu Town for several years had been dreaming of. Everyone was overjoyed that night when they received the reply. Wicklow immediately contacted the buyer and planned to sell the villa. Everyone was busy packing their bags, and the official residence was a busy scene. Finally,
What matters is that you have made great achievements. How many levels will you be able to upgrade to after you go back?
Except for Upton who still needs to stay behind, the others formed a large convoy to return to their hometown. Wicklow's more than ten servants, chefs, grooms, and the trophies collected over the years were packed into nearly ten carts, and there were not too many for others.
, together with the guards, mighty, like a small army.
The staff was so large that it took almost six days to return to Elida City. The Prime Minister ordered the Minister of the Interior and the General of the Military to greet them at the city gate. Students from the Arcane Academy lined the streets to welcome them. The civilians rushed to watch, making it very lively.
But there's nothing to say about this.
The Prime Minister asked them to settle down. Three days later, a celebration banquet will be held in the palace and rewards will be given based on merit. This is the beginning of the main event. No one paid any attention to the poor Prince Torsedlin, who was forced to swallow by Aubrey.
After taking a large dose of Crazy Grass, his mind was completely insane, and he could no longer recognize his relatives or other past events. Even if the regent expressed concern about his nephew's condition, the doctors and priests who went to diagnose him were often bribed by Wicklow and others.
The diagnosis certificate always states that it is Alzheimer's disease for which there is no drug treatment.
Shen Zhimo returned to the Golden Rose Hotel after a long journey, and the members of the Sunflower Club had been waiting for a long time.
The motorcade stopped at the door, and as soon as her front feet touched the ground, Zhiluo Tilin immediately rushed up to her. Shen Zhimo had to hug her and asked: "How have you been these days?"
The tone was still so calm, but Zhiluo Tilin didn't mean to be unhappy at all. She put her arm around his waist and smiled: "It's okay, I just miss my brother so much!"
Shen Zhimo smiled stiffly and said: "Yes. Very good." Xiang Simon asked directly: "How is the situation? Is anyone looking for trouble?"
"It's just a little thing, don't worry, I can solve it."
"Oh, let's talk upstairs." Shen Zhimo had to pull away from the pestering Zhi Luo Tilin.
Ysera was tired from the journey and needed to rest. Tyreseel did not want to interfere in their affairs and returned to her room. Rodin took the security guards back to the security center.
Sendurilla brought coffee and desserts, and a group of important members of the Sunflower Club gathered in the room. Simon sat on the sofa and said with some unhappiness: "The Thorn Bird City area was strongly counterattacked by the Black Hand Brotherhood, and they vowed to take it back
The ruling power of Chun Shui Street and the guards who stayed at the security office were more or less harmed. Also, the area on Tongshu Street is a settlement area of dwarves. They have opened a large number of blacksmith shops with good business and do not want to pay us.
management fee."
"It doesn't matter." Shen Zhimo comforted the immature Simon and said, "It's all a small problem. Please tell me more about the Black Hand Brotherhood."
"The Black Hand Brotherhood has been established for many years. It is a very famous underground gang in the official archives of the empire. Their tentacles are spread all over the country, disrupting public order. They do all kinds of evil and have always been a cancer that cannot be cured. I believe everyone here has heard of the Black Hand.
The Brotherhood is so famous that two years ago the Prime Minister's son-in-law had his hands and feet broken, and it was them who did it. Even the Prime Minister didn't look down on them. You can imagine how audacious they are. A branch of the Black Hand Brotherhood has been entrenched in Chun Shui Street for a long time.
Exploiting prostitutes, the standardized management of the public security office touched their interests. So they invited a group of thugs to fight back crazily. A few days ago, a large-scale fight broke out at the door of Xiangnaier, and several people died. At the same time, they also unleashed ruthless violence in the underworld.
If so, I will buy your hand for five thousand silver coins."
Shen Zhimo reached into the drawer and took out a brand new rosewood box. He was surprised. He opened it and saw ten cigars lying inside. He couldn't help but ask, "Who got this?"
"It's Miss Zhiluo. She said that the low-quality cigars you smoked were not in line with your status. I don't know what method you used to buy high-end products. You see, this wooden box is made of seventeen-year-old rosewood and has a purple color.
The black lines contain a strange fragrance and can well preserve the rich taste of cigars. Rosewood is also a top-quality raw material for making staffs. The price is very high in the market. The boxes used to make cigars are already very luxurious and only used by nobles.
I can afford it." Simon felt that the boss's ruffianism was really behind the times and he should move up to the upper class.
Deliberately explaining to him the usage and origin of various luxury goods: "And the inside of it is ridiculously expensive. It is made from tobacco leaves, a specialty of the southern Bagga Island. The price of each stick is more than one hundred silver dollars. Not to mention the common people.
Ordinary nobles may not be able to afford it."
"So, this box of cigars cost one thousand silver dollars?"
"Yes, and money may not buy it. Most luxury stores only sell goods to nobles. They don't like that the nouveau riche can enjoy the same things as them if they have money."
"Well, okay, let's digress and talk about what the dwarves on Tongshu Street are all about." Shen Zhimo lit up a cigar without any intention of sharing it with them.
"Well, this is also very tricky. According to past information, the dwarves didn't want to cause trouble, and they were quite cooperative. They were willing to hand over the money to the previous sheriff. But in the past few days, their attitude has suddenly become tougher. The dwarves are a united nation.
, and have great strength, many of them are born warriors, because they have a blacksmith shop and are well-equipped with weapons. Clark took people to collect money, but they beat him to pieces."
"I understand, you don't need to take such a small thing to heart. You can make a list and reward the people who follow Rodan to work in Ghost Mist Town this time."
After asking questions, Lao Hamal stepped forward to report on his recent financial income and expenditure. His income on Chunshui Street was extremely generous. In addition to salary rewards and daily expenses for everyone, he still had more than 15,000 silver coins left. According to the
Calculating the monthly living expenses of an ordinary family at twenty to forty silver dollars, this is simply unimaginable.
Shen Zhimo said: "I think we should buy a high-end residence, preferably a spacious manor, instead of staying in a pub eating and waiting to die."
Simon said: "People without a title cannot own real estate in the North City, and if you mix with the businessmen in the West District, your status will be lowered. If the regent rewards you three days later and you get a viscount, that will be much easier."
.
"That's exactly what I thought."
In the evening, the Minister of Magic Mephisto and the Minister of Foreign Affairs came to visit. The owner of the Golden Rose no longer dared to open the door to welcome guests and hung up the closure sign. Shen Zhimo had to deal with two annoying flies.
It seemed that after hearing the news that the Sheriff had returned to Elida City, the Black Hand Brotherhood made no further moves the next day. Shen Zhimo's first itinerary was the blacksmith shop on Tongshu Street.
Withered yellow sycamore leaves are falling on the streets, the breeze is blowing from time to time, and the temperature is cool and suitable. The once popular cold ale in the pub has been replaced by strong ale, and the short-sleeved fashions in the windows of clothing stores have also turned into pullovers decorated with soft wool.
, an autumn scene.
With a security badge on his chest, a wrist-tight knife in his waist, and Aubrey, the Sheriff of Thorn Bird City appeared at the "Magic Iron Forge" blacksmith shop on the street.
This is the largest and most famous blacksmith shop on Tongshu Street. It is said that their craftsmanship is second to none in Elida City. The machetes they produce are extremely sharp and will not rust for ten years. As for other tools, they are even more durable.
, no one failed to praise him. The hammer rose and fell, hitting the anvil, making a clanking sound, making it look busy and orderly.
The items in the shop are messily arranged, with all kinds of chopping boards and hammers. The style is not much different from that of Old Hammar's original restaurant "Blackstone Tower Mountain", but the temperature in the room is frighteningly high. Even though it is late autumn, the five or six dwarf blacksmiths still
Bare upper body, dripping with sweat, there is a girl about sixteen or seventeen years old sitting next to her, with picturesque features, an elegant expression, and a vague sense of pride. Next to her is a young man with a slender and handsome face, and behind her
Two guards with bright armor stood there, showing that they were either rich or noble. Under the girl's gaze, the dwarves worked very hard.
"Boss! Do you want to do business? I have a discount on blacksmithing here. Whether it is pots, pans, swords, crossbows or anything else, they are perfect and full of materials. The construction period will not be delayed. You are guaranteed to be satisfied." The bearded and big-nosed man at the door.
shouted the dwarf at the top of his lungs.
Shen Zhimo showed the Sheriff's badge and said, "My name is Saga. I heard that the security situation in the Tongshu Street area is not very good, so I came here to inspect it."
"Oh! Sir Sheriff!" the dwarf said hurriedly: "Please take a seat first. Our Magic Iron Forge has always been a role model for public security on Tongshu Street. You see, each of our blacksmiths are strong guards.
Thanks to his efforts, those robbers and thieves never dared to step into Tongshu Street." Clark had brought people here a few days ago, so the dwarf naturally knew why the Sheriff came.
