Chapter 27

A finger?

Fiona frowned, "what do you mean?"

"At the end of the year, mint can bring us at least 10000 gold coins, net income!"

Considering the lag in transportation and audience problems in prandal, the data estimated by Donne is very conservative. In fact, if you are optimistic, the economic value of mint is higher.

But this is not the earth after all. The economy here is not developed enough for people to choose snacks freely, so the range of consumers may be smaller.

"Ten thousand gold coins? Are you sure?"

Fiona's eyes widened. If it was the golden rose family's heyday, Fiona might disdain to do the business of 10000 gold coins a year, but the problem is that the golden rose family no longer exists, and she has been extremely down and out. If it wasn't for Donne's reception, I'm afraid it would have become the private property of the mountain bandits now.

Don't say ten thousand gold coins, even five thousand gold coins, she is willing to do the business of one thousand gold coins!

"Sure!"

Don en nodded with great certainty: "how about you? Dare you bet with me?"

"Of course!"

What's Fiona afraid of? Rather, she would rather lose her own bet, so as to prove that she did not choose the wrong person.

"Well, Elsa, Elia, you two testify. Before the end of the year, I will use this Mint to earn at least 10000 gold coins. If I win, your sister Fiona will work for me all her life and won't let her go back."

"OK, OK!"

Elia raised her hand very happily: "the gods are on the earth, witness everything!" [E1]

As soon as her voice fell, there was a heavy thunder in the sky. Fiona immediately said with a bitter face: "Elia, your prayer won't really be heard by the gods..."

Elia sticks out her tongue and is a little embarrassed.

After Donne noticed this phenomenon, he was awed. If the gods of prandal could really listen to the prayers of mortals in the lower world, I'm afraid he couldn't make vows casually in the future.

Donne was going to ask Elsa to find someone to pick the transplanted mint, but the thunder just made him a little fluffy. For the sake of insurance, he decided to pick some by himself and go back to try it.

Several people went back happily after picking a large bag of mint by the river. Elsa, Elia and Donne went home after they were separated. Fiona continued to be busy taking over Ellington's affairs. Donne became a shopkeeper just after he took office and didn't see the staff in the town. These things can only fall into her hands.

Whether it's a small postman or a powerful tax official, Fiona must make sure everything in Ellington is under control.

And Donne has just issued a pioneer law. She must improve it.

Where's Donne?

When he returned to the Lord's house, he threw the mint into the house and went to find Brian.

Brian is tossing about his house at the moment.

"Big brother! You're just in time! Look at the house that fiosa got me. It's decent!"

Brian was indignant: "such a big door! Such a high bed! And the wash basin - the beard of the hammer! Did she forget that I was a dwarf?"

Donne patted his head: "we really forgot this... But it's your fault. Why did you have to drink so much last night? Fiona was almost drunk - her name was Fiona! Fi! Ou! Na!"

"It doesn't matter what it's called. I can't recognize it anyway."

Brian waved his hand and said, "this room needs to be changed, it needs to be greatly changed - do you mind if I cut off the bed legs, big brother?"

"Don't mind... Wait! I didn't come to you about it!"

Donne was almost surrounded by him and said quickly, "I have a few things for you to help build."

"Oh? There's work to be done so soon?"

Brian was very surprised. "But I have to get an anvil or a furnace or something. Shall I bite you out with my teeth?"

"You can go to the blacksmith's shop to borrow the furnace and anvil for a while."

As a lord, you should have the right to borrow anvil and furnace?

"Well, let's talk about the room. Let's go."

Brian was also very cheerful. He left his things and was ready to go out.

Donne looked at the most precious Warhammer that Brian had left on the ground, shook his head and followed such a master. What bad luck this guy had

They left the Lord's house and came to the blacksmith's shop within a few steps.

Brian shouted, "is anyone there? Is there anyone alive?"

Donne raised his hand and slapped it. "Be polite!"

Brian covered the back of his head and jumped: "you should be polite! If you are tall, you can pat your head casually!? you are so tall! Hum, when the dwarf brothers saw me, they would exclaim, 'God, you are so tall', and they didn't see me pat the back of their heads!"

Donne looked at Brian with inexplicable pity. The dwarf can only show his height in front of the dwarf and goblins

"What kind of look are you looking at? Ah? What kind of look? I tell you, don't look down on the people of the earth. Be careful of your knees, you know!? in those days, an ungrateful Orc smelly boy looked at me with that kind of look, and I slapped him on his knees. Guess what? This guy can only provide for the aged at the border post now!"

Maybe Brian's voice was so loud that he finally woke up the people inside. After listening to a tinkling noise, an unkempt guy opened the curtain.

"Who are you? What are you arguing about? Take what you like and mark the price. Just throw the money on the counter."

Tang Enhe said kindly, "uncle, we don't buy anything."

"Don't buy things? Why do you call me if you don't buy things? Waste time! - eh? Wait? The voice is... Lord!"

The unkempt blacksmith was suddenly stunned, recognized Donne, and was overjoyed: "Lord, what are you here for? Buying equipment? Armed soldiers? Are we going to war? Are we going to place an order? How much armor? How many weapons? - wait, I'll take a book!"

Before Donne could speak, the excited blacksmith rushed back.

Donne was stunned.

Ellington is a blacksmith's shop. This blacksmith is also a craft handed down from generation to generation. His craft is no worse than that of blacksmiths in big cities. However, staying in Ellington is his tragedy.

Ellington is too remote and there are too few people. Adventurers don't see many of them all year round. Few people buy the armor and weapons he has made. The biggest business he has done before is to get a set of simple armor for the private soldiers of Hogg. He hasn't given him the money in arrears, and Hogg finally gave it to the mountain bandits, which is regarded as a capital enemy

When the blacksmith came out again, he not only had a book in his hand, but also a note.

He scratched his head and laughed, revealing his big black front teeth: "Lord, I suddenly remembered that Lord Hogg owed me a sum of equipment money before. Now you are Lord, isn't this money..."

The blacksmith was also very nervous. In fact, he didn't have much hope of getting the money back. However, I heard that the LORD was a good man, so he planned to try.

"How much is it?"

Although Hogg is a scum, don still has to clean up the mess he left behind, otherwise the reputation will stink and the team will be hard to take

"Not much, not much. There are 25 sets of plain armor and 25 standard long swords. The scabbard is a gift. The total is..."

The blacksmith carefully raised a finger.

"100000 gold coins!?"

Donne was startled.

"No, no!"

The blacksmith shook his head quickly.

"Ten thousand gold coins..."

Donne whispered that it was OK.

"Neither!"

The blacksmith almost cried, "a thousand gold coins..."

So Donne was embarrassed. He had just fooled Fiona with one finger in the morning, and in the twinkling of an eye, he was frightened by the blacksmith again. It's really fast.

Because he was used to making a lot of money selling and buying equipment before, don didn't expect that 25 sets of armor and weapons would be so cheap, so he readily promised to pay the money, but accordingly, the blacksmith wanted to share the blacksmith's shop for Brian to use.

In this way, he can save himself another furnace and anvil.

"Yes, of course... But Lord, who is Brian?"

The blacksmith is a little confused.

Brian was furious: "you hateful, stupid human! With your eyes in front, can you only look forward and don't know how to lower your head!"

The blacksmith lowered his head and was startled: "short, short, dwarf!?"

"That's right!"

"Master Brian, please take your seat!"

The blacksmith hurried to move a chair for Brian. He was so excited that his brain was bleeding.

Brian smiled proudly. The reputation of dwarves among humans, especially among human blacksmiths, was not enough to explain the actual situation.

In fact, the blacksmith met the dwarf almost as much as the grandmaster.

After all, human forging skills are still learned from dwarves

There is a rumor among blacksmiths that if you see a dwarf and are instructed by the dwarf, you can immediately break through the shackles and become a blacksmith master or even a master!

So in the blink of an eye, Donne was forgotten by the blacksmith and stood beside him foolishly, watching him pour water and rub his shoulders for Brian.

Brian looked at the shriveled Donne and was in a relaxed mood. The feeling of sitting in a chair and staring at others was one word - Shuang!

"Master Brian, my name is Edgar, and I'm a family blacksmith. Well, this... Cough, it's my honor that master Brian can use my furnace and anvil. I just don't know if I can watch and learn while the master is forging?"

Edgar made his request carefully.

Brian's master style: "well, it's not impossible, but I won't teach you. How much you can learn depends on your own understanding!"

Edgar rejoiced: "thank you, master!"

"Yes!"

Brian nodded heavily and looked at Donne. "Come on, big brother, what do you want me to build?"
