enchanting blacksmith

Feng Tie and Luo Fu sat boredly at the door of the hotel, chatting without a word, and the afternoon sun shone warmly on their bodies.

Feng Tie pointed to a sign on the side of the table that said "recruit mercenaries at a high price" and asked Luo Fu lazily: "I said, Sir General, this sign has been stuck here all morning, Xiong Da and the others were also sent by you." Going out to spread the news everywhere, why is there no effect at all, I don't even see a mercenary shadow!"

Seeing that the whole morning passed without even a single person coming to inquire about the news, Luo Fu, who was already a little flustered, became even more uneasy. He stroked his broken leg and smiled wryly: "We still overestimated the role of gold coins. , it seems that these mercenaries regard this grand event as very important, no one has delayed the opportunity to worship the king of mercenaries just for a few gold coins to take over our mission, not to mention the attraction of that grand auction, It seems that we have to wait until after the auction is over before we can recruit people."

"I don't think these are the main things." Feng Tie analyzed, "Because we made it very clear when we went out to publicize that although we are now recruiting personnel, we don't have to go on the road immediately after accepting our commission, and we have to wait until the auction In the future, the two do not conflict, I think our price tag is too low."

Luo Fu said: "Yeah, our price is really not high. Although we don't need these mercenaries to escort us to that terrifying demon castle, just getting close to the edge of the forest that is regarded as an absolute forbidden area has already demonstrated our strength. Given the great danger of this mission, it’s no wonder no one came to take it on.”

Feng Tie gritted his teeth, stretched out his hands tremblingly and took out two gold coins from the purse at his waist, and handed them to Luo Fu with a face full of reluctance: "I will personally sponsor this recruitment operation with a little more funds."

Feng Tie closed his eyes in pain, and couldn't bear to see the golden coins fall into the hands of others: "No more, you have already used all the money we brought out to recruit, and if you continue to waste money like this If we don’t, I’m afraid we will have to beg for food before we leave the territory of the Wolf Kingdom.”

As if hearing Feng Tie's call, a ragged beggar walked up to Feng Tie with a branch in one hand and a dirty broken bowl in the other.

The beggar bared his yellow teeth and tried to smile brightly. He shook the broken bowl in his hand, and a few copper coins rattled in the bowl: "This kind old man, please reward me for this homeless vagabond!" Give me a piece of bread, I will never forget your kindness and virtue, and I will repay you in the next life as a cow and a horse!"

"Bah!" Feng Tie spat at the beggar fiercely, "You are a beggar and I am here to pretend to be some kind of old principal, look at you, you are shaking the broken bowl in your hand proudly , show off your wealth with me, you, get out of here before this young master loses his face!"

Luo Fu's eyes were fixed on the beggar's actions from beginning to end.

In the past two days, the endless surprise attacks and assassinations have made Luo Fu's nerves never relaxed. The beggar in front of him is probably an assassin sent by Batu. Now it is inconvenient for Amu to show his face and rest in the room. Lore returned to the Ewha Valley to meet Master Abigail, and it is estimated that he is still on his way back.It took a matter of minutes for me, a cripple, and Feng Tie, a waste who had been training but was still weak, to be killed by someone.

Seeing Feng Tie, who was stingy and cursing in a low voice, gradually walking away from the beggar, Luo Fu couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief.

"I'm talking about General Luo Fu." Feng Tie said, "It's not an option for us to continue like this."

Feng Tie raised his voice an octave, and cursed angrily: "That damned Duke of Night, he sent us out for only giving you such a small amount of money. I think he must have been poor in his previous life to treat him like that. Wealth is like life!"

On the Green Sea Continent, gold is the hard currency. The gold reserves on this continent are as small as in my own world. It can be used as an equivalent exchange medium for mutual transactions between various countries. Take the gold coins of the Fire Horse Kingdom Generally speaking, an exquisite gold coin engraved with a flaming unicorn on both sides can at least support an ordinary family of three to live affluently for three to five years.

When we came out this time, we considered that most of the escort team traveled through some untouched virgin forests, so the team did not carry too many gold coins, but just prepared enough food and grass for the team to eat for three months. As for the supplies for the return, Luo Fu The hundreds of gold coins they carried with them should be enough for these people to return to the territory of the Fire Horse Kingdom, not to mention passing through some friendly countries of the kingdom, those small countries should provide some friendly help to the team.

However, in the large-scale surprise attack launched by Batu a few days ago, almost all the food and grass brought by the team were burned up by the artifact that can emit huge fireballs. Luofu had to spend money everywhere every time he passed through a town. With the purchase of supplies, plus the cost of temporarily relocating the seriously injured soldiers in several towns, the purchase of medicines, and the money to invite doctors, Luo Fu's pockets have dried up quickly.

Feng Tie scolded the Duke of Dark Night enough, and suddenly came to Luo Fu's side in a thief-like way to offer an idea: "Otherwise, I have a quick and effective way to make money here, but I don't know if you are willing to do that, General, hehe. "

"What way to make money?" Luo Fu looked at Feng Tie vigilantly, wondering what wicked idea this unreliable guy would come up with.

"Don't you have an artifact seized from that coward in your hand, why don't we take it at the auction tomorrow..."

"fart!"

Luo Fu's eyes stood up, "How many times have I told you, don't mention this thing casually, this thing came out of the Fortune Teller's Guild, if it wasn't for the extremely dangerous journey, why would I carry this thing with me?" Hot things, let alone put them up for auction, even if they are accidentally seen by members of the Fortune Teller Guild, we may be wiped out at any time until there is not even a bone left, so you should give up on it!"

"Then there is no other way." Feng Tie's face was twisted into a ball, "Then I have no choice but to sell my scimitar!"

Feng Tie untied the scimitar together with the scabbard from his waist, and slapped it heavily on the table.

"You, how can this be?" Luo Fu looked him over from beginning to end as if he had never seen Feng Tie before.

"Are you sure you're not insane?" Luo Fu stretched out his hand to touch Feng Tie's forehead.

Feng Tie was furious, pushed Luo Fu's hand away, and said angrily: "General Luo Fu, I misunderstood you, so you have always looked down on me, thinking that I am a money worshiper who values ​​gold coins, no, you are wrong!"

Feng Tie was frothing, waving his hands indiscriminately and making gestures that no one could understand: "I am a pure person, a noble person, and a person who has escaped vulgar interests. Putting the overall situation in the first place, insisting on the Duke of the Dark Night's theory and wearing the three watches as the important thought, seeking truth from facts, being diligent and innovative, and pioneering and enterprising..."

"Huh?" Feng Tie, who was giving a passionate speech, grabbed Luo Fu who got up and left, "What are you going to do with my knife?"

"Go and sell Master Abigail's beautiful daughter!" Luo Fu said with a natural expression on his face, "Didn't you let me go? What's wrong, do you regret it?"

Luo Fu looked at Feng Tie with a smile on his face.

"Ah." Feng Tie let go of his hand, and sat back on the chair, as if all the strength in his body had been taken away.

"Take it, and go to the hall of the Chamber of Commerce on the other side to find that pimp named Tiger, he will take you to see Yolanda." Feng Tie ordered dejectedly, "Remember to buy a good price."

For a while, Feng Tie sat on the chair with his head down, motionless, not daring to look up at Luo Fu's back.

A scimitar with a large emerald on the scabbard was handed to Feng Tie. Feng Tie raised his head in surprise and saw Luo Fu who was looking at him with a smile.

"Forget it." Luo Fu smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's better to resign to fate, the elders of the Wolf Kingdom finally returned the knife to you, you should keep it for yourself."

Luo Fu looked a little sad: "Anyway, our future is uncertain, and it will always be beneficial to you to have such a magic weapon on your body."

Feng Tie didn't take the scimitar, so he pushed the scimitar back with Luo Fu's hand: "Really, sell it, I'm not joking, when Xiong Da comes back later, I'll ask him to go to Yolanda for a fight. Good price."

Luo Fu looked at Feng Tie in surprise: "But, this is the essence of the Tongtian Hell, this is a priceless treasure, how can you be willing..."

Feng Tie said dejectedly: "It doesn't matter what is connected to the sky and the earth now, isn't it just a broken knife, and it can't be eaten as food. Let's find a way to save our little life first."

"Master! Master, I'm back!"

Xiong Da's shout broke the dignified atmosphere between the two of them. Feng Tie looked up and saw Xiong Da cheerfully leading several people towards the mercenary registration office at the entrance of the hotel.

"Master, I have gone through a lot of hardships and tirelessly publicized the whole morning, and finally a few warriors have come to apply for the recruitment!"

Xiong Da stepped aside and pointed triumphantly at the dozen or so people following him.

"Look, young master, how majestic this warrior is. According to him, he was the captain of a team of [-] people during the ancient war of gods and demons. Tsk tsk, what a warrior!" Xiong Da first introduced a lying down and Standing about the same height was a fat man with a shiny face, and he was holding a half-gnawed chicken leg in his hand.

"Look at this one again. Don't look at his thin body and status, but this is a disciple of a family of assassins that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years in the Wolf Kingdom!" Feng Tie glanced at a thin and dry man, A child with a sallow face and obviously malnourished, from his immature skin and unfading fluff at the corners of his mouth, Feng Tie analyzed that this person is no more than 13 years old.

"Master, look at this one again, this is a warrior with strong martial arts skills." Xiong Da patted the warrior on the shoulder, and introduced triumphantly, "According to the testimony of his neighbors and ladies, he was self-taught since childhood, experienced After countless battles, I have even cultivated my battle qi!"

"Master, look at his broad shoulders and firm chest muscles, huh?"

Xiong Da's hand rested on the soldier's pectoral muscles for a moment, and squeezed a couple of times in disbelief.Then Xiong Da poked his head in front of the soldier's face for a closer look, and overjoyed, he turned back to Feng Tie to announce the good news: "Great joy, young master, this is still a female soldier. Are you happy, young master, young master? Young master?"

Xiong Da turned his head and looked around for a long time, and finally saw Feng Tie squatting on the ground, his shoulders twitching non-stop.

"General Luo Fu, what's wrong with my young master?" Xiong Da asked Luo Fu who was smiling wryly.

General Luo Fu patted Chest Da on the shoulder: "Don't ask so much Xiong Da, let him have a good cry."
