Chapter 278 Blacksmith (ask for a monthly ticket, recommended ticket)
Thales had a look of anger on his face. When he and the white hat found the group, dozens of people had died in the small village there, and the population of the entire village was less than a hundred, which showed the ferocity of the bandits.
Earl Nilo gasped. He had no doubts about whether a marquis territory had the power to exterminate this group of bandits, but the time may not be too fast, and it is inevitable that some innocent people will be killed or injured.
After all, Leiter's rising speed is too fast, and the accumulation time is too short. In his opinion, if he doesn't personally act, he may not be able to easily solve the gangs above the middle level.
But judging from Thales’ tone just now, it only took a total of more than a week from the receipt of the information to the derivation, and the solution and return. This efficiency is not surprising. At the same time, it also reflects that the strength of Marquis Leiter's subordinates is actually quite terrifying!
He was even more grateful in his heart, and it was definitely a wise move to ask for a marriage.
"Good job, Thales, I think this exercise will definitely help you in actual combat." Leiter stood up, walked over and patted his youngest son on the shoulder.
"Father is right. Those bandits are vicious and have rich combat experience. Fortunately, Mr. White Hat is there to help me, giving me an excellent opportunity to exercise. I am really grateful to Mr. White Hat!" Thales Said with emotion. Then he said: "I've been away for so long, I kind of miss my Mina and Abel, does your father know where they are?"
"Riley's room, Mina should be telling a story at this time."
Thales' eyes lit up, and he said, "Then I'll go up first, and you guys talk slowly."
"Well, let's go."
Watching the back of Thales going upstairs, Leiter shrugged his shoulders and looked at Earl Nero: "Since the engagement was mentioned just now, do you want to meet Dick? That is a noisy little guy, I even suspect you have seen him The idea of marriage will be canceled later.”
"No, no, no, how come, liveliness is the nature of children, and the more lively it is, it means that Dick is full of nature!" Earl Nero didn't care about these, no matter how many shortcomings he had, he would agree without hesitation, let alone what kind of shortcoming he was.
Fourth floor, Rayleigh's room.
"Dick, what's that horned thing, a tauren?"
"Of course, what else could the horned one be if it wasn't a tauren!"
"Goats also have horns, rhinos also have horns, and sika deer, golden-eyed deer..." Jaina patted a window in the room with both hands, just in time to see the two orcs working hard as a companion on the training ground, their eyes glowing with joy!
"Uh, well, I really didn't think of it, but there are no goat people among the orcs, let alone rhinoceros." Dick scratched his head and said.
At this moment, the two of them stood shoulder to shoulder, stepped on the small bench, and looked towards the direction of the training ground together, completely unattracted by the story Mina told later.
crunch
The door of the room was opened, and Dick, who was naturally restless, turned his head and glanced at it, but the next moment his small face was terrified, and he yelled in panic: "Ah, the big bad wolf is coming!"
Gianna also turned around when she heard the sound. Since she hadn’t heard the story of Little Red Riding Hood, she didn’t think it was too scary. It was just a werewolf wrapped in a mass of dark dark elements, which looked a bit scary.
"Wow~ Dick, I'm going to eat you." Thales bared his teeth and claws, and jumped up, pretending to jump on Dick.
The rest of the children in the room were also frightened and ran away, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
But suddenly, when Thales jumped up, Dick showed a sly look, took out a small stone from his trouser pocket, and quickly threw it.
With a swish, the stone drew a long line and hit Thales.
"Snapped"
Looking at the triumphant Dick, Thales froze for a moment. As a second-level magician, of course he would not be successfully attacked by a child, so he grabbed the small stone with his hand.
After that, he dispersed the dark elements wrapped around him, looked Dick up and down, and said in amazement:
"Haha, Dick, can you boy not be afraid of the big bad wolf so soon? You are much smarter than Tucker when he was young!"
"You are not allowed to talk about my father!" Dick pouted, made a grimace, and said, "My father is very smart, I was the one who taught me, next time you scare me, show your weakness first, then Look for opportunities to fight back."
Thales didn’t expect Dick to say this. He stared and wanted to say something, but a gentle voice came from behind:
"Very well, Dick, your courage is not inferior to your father, and your wisdom is far beyond. But let me add that Thales is not your enemy."
"Father, you are here, please sit down!" Kelina was the first to react. She was wearing a blue dress and pushed a chair for Leiter.
Mina, who was telling the story, also stopped and looked at the door. The other members of the three generations, Leiter's grandchildren, ran to Leiter's side and pulled up the corners of their clothes, chirping, and their innocent childish voice was very wearable. Through the power, it suppressed all the noises in the room.
Hearing his grandpa boasting about himself, Dick seemed to forget everything, and smiled with a big grin, with a naive look, which made Rhett see Tucker possessed again in a trance, and couldn't help laughing.
Rett sat down, stroked the little heads around him, and said, "Dick, Jaina is your good friend, don't bully her."
"Dick didn't bully me." Jaina helped to speak, tilted her head, and said, "He also said to take me to watch the giant horn perform acrobatics!"
Thales' eyes lit up, and he said with interest: "Hey, Dick, I didn't expect to have this skill. Could it be that you learned it from your father?"
"Thales, can you be more serious." Mina rolled her eyes upon hearing this.
At this time, Earl Nero was standing at the position closest to the door, and Jaina was the last to see him, and ran over cheeringly, hugging her thigh.
Dick's small head didn't seem to understand what Thales said, and he just took it as a compliment, and still kept smiling.
Rett stepped forward, touched Dick's head, and said, "Since you made the promise, it is up to you to fulfill it. Let the orcs perform acrobatics, and leave it to you."
"Huh? Don't they know how to do it themselves? They still need to teach?" Dick's smile froze and he was dumbfounded.
"No one trains and teaches, of course it won't. If you can barely handle it, it must be a bad show." Leiter turned his head to look at Jaina, and then looked at Dick again: "You want your good friend to see a bad show." performance?"
"No, I don't want to." Dick shook his head.
"That's right, this task is entrusted to you. Whether Jaina can see the orc performance, I hope it's all up to you." Leiter said with a smile.
Dick took a deep breath, full of fighting spirit, only fearless in youth, nodded and said: "Then look at me!"
"No, you're welcome, Jaina!" Dick blushed slightly, touched the back of his head, and said with some embarrassment.
At this time, a strange color flashed in Thales' eyes, as if he had noticed something, including Vanessa, Kelina, Mina, etc. in the room, all looked at each other tacitly, and then smiled knowingly.
Vanessa was even more thoughtful, and sat aside in silence.
Several people chatted in the room for a while, Leiter and Earl Nilo left, and when they had lunch at noon, the family discussed the matter of engagement. Tucker heard that Dick had a crush on Jaina, and did not agree. Rejection, agreed to the matter.
In the afternoon, Count Nero left with excitement, and felt that his footsteps were light when he walked.
Not long after Earl Nero left, Vanessa found Leiter and said, "Father, although Dick and Jaina have agreed to get married, I hope that if something unacceptable happens to the two of them in the future, the marriage will be safe." Cancelled."
"Unacceptable thing? Are you worried that Jaina will do some depraved things?" Rhett thought for a while and said, he knew that some noble circles were really messy and played very fancy.
"It's more than that, of course, it's an important part, and I want Dick to be happy."
Rett smiled when he heard the words, and said comfortingly: "Please rest assured, I will let Earl Nero supervise carefully, otherwise he will feel extremely heavy pressure."
Vanessa breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't dare to intervene at the dinner table just now. She knew her own weight, so she could only talk to her father in private. Fortunately, she got a satisfactory result, so she said, "Thank you, Father!"
"Hehe, why are you thanking me? Don't forget that Dick is also my grandson, and I'm not here to help you!" Rhett smiled slightly, turned and left.
Vanessa looked at Leiter's back and was quite moved, as if a warm current poured into her heart.
She was about to go back to the room and have a good chat with Dick, but when she turned around, she suddenly looked at the wind flower tree beside her in surprise. A girl with short purple hair was hiding behind the tree, poking her head out to look at her, as if she knew she was found Yes, stuck out his little tongue, and started trotting embarrassedly.
"Ellie? What are you doing hiding there? Are you trying to scare me and play a prank?" Vanessa said suspiciously, "Also, what are you hiding behind? A prank prop?"
Ellie giggled, put the hand hidden behind her back to the front, and shook the gift box above lightly: "How is it possible! Vanessa, today is the anniversary of your becoming a knight, and this is a small gift made by me. "
"Riding, Knight's Day?" Vanessa was stunned for a moment, and after recovering, she said with a surprised face: "Ellie, you are too hardworking, I haven't paid attention to this festival myself, today is really exciting An unforgettable day."
"Thank you, Ellie, my dear sister."
Vanessa hugged Ellie, and after parting, she said, "I'll unwrap the gift when I go back to my room, but I want to ask you something before that."
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Ellie smiled: "Tell me quickly, I will follow you to the ranch to transport milk later."
"You go to the training ground every day, are you familiar with those two orcs?"
Ellie tilted her head and said, "It's not really familiar, but sometimes we can chat, because every other day, I will deliver food to them."
"Really? That's great, I want to ask one thing, can I take Dick with me and let him communicate more with those two orcs?"
"That's no problem, but why do you ask me to help? Wouldn't it be more convenient to ask Tucker to help directly?" Ellie was puzzled, and suddenly opened her eyes again, and said, "Could it be that you two had a fight?"
Vanessa rolled her eyes: "What are you talking about, I just want to exercise Dick. Anyway, he is still young and doesn't need knight training. He has a lot of time to squander."
"Okay, it sounds reasonable, but what can this exercise?" Ellie muttered, "Anyway, I'll help you, as long as Dick is willing."
"Thank you, I'll let him find you tomorrow." Vanessa smiled slightly.
Spring goes to summer solstice.
Lett finally waited for the mid-level blacksmith who came to join him, a fourth-level earth knight named Aldous.
"Since a new member has come to our blacksmith shop, isn't the original space approaching its limit?"
In the blacksmith shop of the iron buddies, in the lobby on the first floor, Leiter said to several blacksmiths surrounding him.
"Your lord is right. Although there are still two vacant rooms upstairs, after Mr. Aldous moved in, there is only one left. Although it is spacious, it will definitely not be enough for another person." Glencoe frowned and thought said.
"Then I will find a group of stonemasons to come over another day to expand and upgrade the blacksmith shop." Leiter made a final decision.
"Lord, don't bother, just leave this matter to me!" At this time, Aldous, who just joined the blacksmith shop today, said hastily.
Hearing this, the rest of the blacksmiths also looked at the bald man, and Leiter followed suit. He was nearly two meters tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and rough skin.
"What do you think?" Rhett asked curiously.
"To tell you the truth, my father is a stonemason, and besides being a blacksmith, I also learned stonemasonry from my father when I was young. With the strength of my earth knight, only one person is enough to expand the blacksmith shop, and The efficiency is definitely high enough!" Aldous added: "Well, it can also create a space outline that suits my wishes."
Leite smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to have this ability, that would be great, since this task is entrusted to you, I will directly gather a batch of high-quality stone materials nearby to meet your needs."
Aldous grinned: "Thank you, my lord, but can this matter be postponed for a while? I plan to go home first and pick up my father. He is still living in the small village of his hometown. And my father I am also a mason, and it will be more convenient to build with him to help me."
"It's a trivial matter!" Lei Te waved his hand, not caring, but he still asked, "Why didn't you bring your father with you when you came here?"
Hearing this sentence, Aldous scratched his head in embarrassment, and said: "Because I am worried about being rejected by you, and I don't want my father to go to waste, so..."
Leite smiled and waved his hand to stop: "Okay, I understand what you mean, so there's no need to say any more. Just bring your father here, and I will arrange a house for your father in Dark Eagle City."
"That's so embarrassing, I can just buy it with my own money!" Aldous said in shock, waving his hands.
