Chapter 49 Minagald’s Workshop
It was already evening a few days later when we returned to Minagard City.
The three Gordons went straight to the hunter gathering place—for the hunters who had just completed the mission, settling the mission was always the top priority.
The waiters standing in front of the mission counter are still Tiggy and Maggie.
Seeing Gordon and the others approaching, Tiggy and Madge were obviously stunned. Then, as the senior, the latter suddenly held the back of Tiggy's neck, held her down and bowed deeply to Gordon. Bowed and said loudly at the same time:
"This mission was an oversight on our part. I'm very sorry, Mr. Gordon!"
Di Ji seemed to recall something bad, her eye circles turned red, she sniffed and apologized aggrievedly: "I didn't pay attention, I'm sorry."
At first, Gordon was a little unresponsive and helped the two waitresses up in confusion. It was not until he heard Madge's explanation that he understood the reason for all this.
As soon as they left that day, the president learned from Yamos that the mission information was wrong and severely punished the staff responsible for intelligence collection and mission verification.
Tiki, who handled the mission registration formalities for Gordon, was not the main person responsible, but she was scolded by the president.
The lady in charge of registering the mission was the last step in reviewing the mission information. However, this guy not only failed to discover the danger hidden in the mission, but also happily recommended it to Gordon.
If Madge hadn't concealed the "introduction mission in exchange for petting cats" thing for her, the president, who was furious at the time, might have fired her on the spot.
A few people chatted a few more words.
When Tiggy and Maggie learned from Hayata that they had really encountered the King of the Strange Face Tribe in the hunting ground, and that Gordon would have almost died if Yamos hadn't taken action in time. My mother was even more shocked.
Di Ji, who was still a little aggrieved at first, was overwhelmed by guilt.
She bowed to Gordon seriously again, and solemnly promised with a rare seriousness that she would carefully check every task document in the future.
The process of settling the task is not complicated. In just a few minutes, Gordon received the 4300z reward.
According to Gordon's opinion, Yamos taught him a lot during this mission and saved his life. Even if he gave out all of the more than 4,000 z, he should be given away.
However, Yamos's attitude was quite resolute. Before the mission began, he said that he and Hayata would not receive payment for this mission.
In fact, Gordon also understood that, to put it bluntly, Yamos was trying to repay the favor of rescuing Pine and Hayata before going to Gordon.
Gordon, who really couldn't resist the other party, finally accepted the money, but then he proposed that he treat him to a big dinner together to celebrate the successful completion of the mission.
Yamos did not refuse this time and used his preferential authority to order food. The three of them and one cat ate more than 1,000 z in a land and sea meal, which was considered a successful conclusion to this cooperation.
After exchanging contact addresses, Gordon said goodbye to Yamos and Hayata.
He was not going to trouble the master and apprentice too often. After all, the other party also had his own training plan. It would not be good for anyone to follow them as their tail all day long.
After saying goodbye, Gordon and Pork Chop returned to the small room of their own.
After hanging the weapons and armor on the corresponding racks, Gordon lay down heavily on the bed that was not too big, and Pork Chop also jumped up.
The boy and the cat stretched their waists together and yawned lazily.
Having only stayed there for one night, the hut that still seemed a bit unfamiliar now felt a little more homey.
“Xiu Xiu, Gordon, it’s time for you to take a shower. If you keep going like this, the sheets will stink.”
“No meow! The water there is scalding to death, meow!”
“No one is allowed to come out until half an hour has passed!”
“Reject Meow!”
Early the next morning, after washing, exercising, and having breakfast, Gordon no longer acted like a task maniac and ran directly to pick up a new task.
The long-term solution is to relax in a moderate manner and combine work with rest.
Today, Gordon plans to visit the nearby blacksmith workshop. Since he plans to stay in Minagard City for a while, this place cannot be avoided.
Pork Chop, who occasionally wanted to be lazy, was left by Gordon at the hunter's gathering place. You can usually see a lot of hunting cats who are not on mission there. The little guy may even be able to make a few friends with whom he can talk. friend.
The workshop is also located in the trade circulation area, close to the river, and only a two- to three-minute walk from the hunter gathering place.
As the most famous workshop in Minagard City, its scale is much larger than the blacksmith shop in Kokot Village. Four chimneys that are two or three stories high are constantly emitting green smoke. You can see it from a long distance, it's very majestic.
Heavily armed hunters can be seen everywhere near the workshop, including Gordon himself. After all, he has developed this weird habit of wearing armor as regular clothes.
The timing of Gordon's arrival was pretty good. It was still relatively early and there were not many customers in the workshop. He was also able to meet the owner of the workshop directly.
The owner of the workshop is an elderly male dragon.
In terms of human appearance, he looks like he is about sixty years old. His frame is relatively large, and his once plump and bulging muscles have shrunk, but he still gives people the feeling of being old and strong, far from the senile dementia of the village chief. degree.
When Gordon came to him, he was putting a piece of flavored tobacco into his mouth and chewing it slowly.
Gordon heard that sailors loved this chewing tobacco very much, and the workshop owner did give people a hard-core look like an old sailor.
"Hello."
As a junior, Gordon greeted him politely, and the boss nodded to him. His attitude was not too enthusiastic, but he was not cold either.
“Hello young man, are you new to Minagald?”
The workshop owner said hello and glanced at the armor on Gordon's body and the weapons on his back without trace. This was the habit of a craftsman.
“Yeah, I just came here a few days ago.” Gordon responded with a smile.
"Forging? Strengthening? Repair? What do you want to build? To be honest, our craftsmanship is the best in the entire Mi City." The boss has a very straightforward personality. After a simple polite sentence, he got to the point.
Gordon nodded, he really wasn't just here to hang out.
After the sword fight with the King of the Strange Face Clan before, one of the hooks of the explosive knife was smashed and deformed, and it could not be retracted into the sword body. It must be repaired to avoid affecting the next hunt.
Take the blasting knife off your back and lay it horizontally in front of the workshop boss.
Without the need for him to explain, the boss had already picked up a small hammer, started hammering and inspecting it on his own.
When it comes to the big sword called the Explosive Knife, the workshop owner is very familiar with it.
The power is good, and the materials are easy to obtain. At least half of the ten great swordsmen have used this kind of great sword, and the internal structure is clearly known.
After a moment, he raised the explosive knife and manipulated it a few times. The hook popped out and retracted flexibly. The workshop owner couldn't help but nodded, "The workmanship is not bad."
As a blacksmith master, it is already a very high evaluation to be worthy of him.
