"Is that so?" Lei Te nodded, and then said: "This time I came to you to give you the materials of frost pine and snow vine, and also to select blacksmith seedlings."

Under the surprised gazes of Frano and Laurin, Rhett repeated to them what he had said not long ago to Tadel, Kurs and Shilin.

"I see." Flanno's eyes showed a hint of enlightenment, and he said thoughtfully: "I understand, Lord, weapons and equipment are very important to us. In the short term, it seems that we don't need blacksmiths much, but in the long run, blacksmiths must not hold us back.

I will go and talk to the students this afternoon to see who is interested, and then I will tell you!"

Rhett was very satisfied with Flano's cognition. He shared the same idea with him and agreed that the long-term development of the blacksmith business should start from now.

But he still gave one admonition: “Flano, when selecting people, you must pay attention to personal wishes.

External coercion is far less effective than internal motivation in improving people! "

"My Lord, I will pay attention to this!" Frano nodded in agreement.

He is very clear about the influence of interest on people. The effect of doing something willingly and tirelessly is absolutely different from doing it out of necessity.

Take himself for example, he never thought that he had outstanding talent in archery, but because of his love for archery and his dream of becoming a ranger since childhood, he persisted on this path and achieved some success.

He couldn't imagine if he hated Archer Ranger as much as he hated Sword and Shield, would he have gotten to this point today?

…

At night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

Tru and Willow walked side by side in the cool night breeze and arrived at the central square of the town.

Willow found a stone block to sit down, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a half-finished wooden house with a built outline and a beginning structure in the southwest corner of the square.

Driven by curiosity, I walked forward and took a closer look. It was empty inside, with only a few wooden supports and wood scraps scattered on the ground.

When I went out, I noticed a piece of paper stuck to the wall, which was blown up by the wind and rolled up.

Willow reached out and smoothed it, looking at it.

Tru didn't have this curiosity, but sat quietly a few dozen meters away, squinting his eyes and feeling the cool air of the autumn night.

After waiting for a moment, he called out, "Willow, what does it say?"

"Hey, this is good news! Our town finally has its own pub!" Willow hurried over with a happy look on his face.

"You didn't lie to me?" Tru looked surprised. Although he asked subconsciously, he believed it in his heart.

"The notice is right there. It's all written clearly. If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself!" Willow curled his lips.

"Forget it... I believe what you said." Tru glanced at the sign of 'Best Buddy Blacksmith Shop' in the northeast corner and whispered, "I heard that our lord returned some time ago and brought a group of talents with him. I guess this tavern and the newly opened blacksmith shop in the northeast corner are related to this matter."

Hearing this, Willow was silent for a moment, sat down next to Tru, looked up at the stars in the sky, and said, "Tru, what do you think about what Coach Flano said this afternoon?"

"I'm going to sign up for the blacksmith shop. You know, I'm already over 30 years old, and I haven't been promoted to a formal knight. Well, changing my career might be a good choice." Tru sighed, and then said: "After all, before joining the Deep Rock Castle guard, I was an apprentice in my uncle's blacksmith shop, helping out. I have a certain foundation in this, so it will be easier to pick it up again."

"That makes sense..." Willow nodded, then looked at Tru and said, "I also want to be a blacksmith's apprentice. Why don't we apply together tomorrow?"

"You? Absolutely not!" Tru's face changed, and he frowned and said, "My knight talent is poor, so I can just switch to blacksmithing. Your talent, among all the students in the training ground, can be ranked second. If you work hard, you will have a better future. You shouldn't follow me to be a blacksmith!"

"After becoming a blacksmith, I can still find time to practice!" Willow looked straight at Tru.

"That's different! You may not know that being a blacksmith is not an easy task. You need to control the temperature, the specific hammering force, the wind force of the bellows, and the judgment of the degree of heating of the iron, the timing of fishing, etc. It is complicated and requires proficiency. It will inevitably affect your knight training!" Tru said seriously.

Willow shook his head. "Tru, you know that our territory currently lacks high-level blacksmiths. I have a clear understanding of my talent. Although I am not a genius, if I can become a first-level knight, a second-level knight, or even higher in the future, the equipment I can forge will have a higher ceiling.

Naturally, it can help the development of the territory's forging business and lay a foundation!"

This sentence touched Tru, and his frown relaxed. He looked moved and said thoughtfully: "If... you really think so, it's not bad!"

"By the way, when will you treat me to the drink you owed me last time?"

The topic changed so suddenly that Willow subconsciously turned his head to look at the pub. "Well, I was thinking of buying some beer from Uncle Maude and just making do here in the square. But this pub looks pretty good and will open soon, so I'll treat you then.

At that time, the blacksmith shop and the tavern were so close that I had the opportunity to come and drink every day."

Willow had a smile on his face as he spoke, but he felt that the atmosphere was a little off.

When he came to his senses, he found that Tru was staring at him.

"Willo! This is probably what you really think?" Tru said unhappily.

“Ha, just kidding, just kidding…” Willow smiled awkwardly and touched his head.

Time passed, and half a month passed.

During this period, Rhett had no important matters on hand and basically spent his time in meditation and magic training.

June 24th.

Rhett was training at the training ground as usual.

The ground of the training ground was littered with spikes, gravel, and debris, but he was still concentrating on staring at a huge rock in front of him. His mental power twitched, and he condensed a spike into the ground, which flew away with a whirring sound through the air!

A loud bang

The Earth Cone Technique hit the center of the boulder accurately, causing a burst of debris to fly in all directions.

Leiter walked forward and saw that the red dot in the center of the boulder that he had marked in advance was hit accurately! "Yes, the Earth Cone Technique is now quite accurate. It can basically hit whatever you point at. It is worthy of being a magic inherited from my blood!" Leiter sighed in a low voice.

Then, he walked to the place full of rubble caused by the previous training and practiced the quicksand technique.

Compared with other magics such as Earth Spike and Earth Cone, the magic of Quicksand does not have a high casting limit. You only need to accurately control the area of ​​release.

A yellow vortex appeared on the ground, and the gravel on the ground was attracted by the quicksand and buried underground.

When the quicksand magic disappeared, the ground returned to normal. It can only be said that it killed two birds with one stone.

Dozens of minutes later, Rhett was sitting cross-legged on the ground meditating, recovering the mental energy he had just consumed.

Lei Te looked delighted, stood up and asked, "Where are they now?"

"When Demihuo passed the message to me just now, he said that he had just entered Young Eagle Town and was on his way to Deep Rock Castle!"

"Then we'll be there soon, right?" Rhett quickly left the training ground and stood by the graystone avenue waiting.

The sound of horse hooves and wheels rolling mixed together.

From a distance, Rhett saw a convoy of more than 20 meters long slowly driving towards him along the graystone road.

A slightly plump man was right in front of the team, riding on the back of a red and blue horse, his body swaying slightly with the ups and downs of the horse.

Rhett was attracted by the red and blue two-colored horse and was very curious. He had never heard of this kind of horse before!

Colton dismounted and greeted him with a smile: "Hello again, Sir Rhett!"

"It's great to meet you, Mr. Colton. Is this trip going well?" As Leiter spoke, he kept glancing at the back of the convoy. The boxes loaded with blue metal were emitting a faint glow and looked very classy! "It's a smooth journey. Not many people in the Kingdom of Jinlun dare to attack our Dalton Chamber of Commerce!" Colton spoke with confidence.

Leiter smiled but said nothing. Instead, he asked, "Mr. Colton, how is the purchase of aquatic monsters going? I have prepared some ice crystal melon seeds for you!"

Colton raised his brows, walked to the nearest carriage, and patted the blue box, making a dull sound.

"I brought forty three-eyed firefish, eighty giant scallops, sixty blue-back crayfish, and fifty frost crabs." Colton smiled and said, "Is Sir Rhett satisfied?"

"Of course! Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Colton." Rhett's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he picked up the black bag hanging around his waist and said, "These are more than a thousand ice crystal melon seeds.

But I wonder… before the transaction, should I check the number of aquatic monsters?"

Rhett was cautious.

"Oh, even if Sir Rhett didn't say it, I would have taken the initiative to bring up this matter!" Colton looked at the bag of ice crystal melon seeds in Rhett's hand with a happy expression.

Under the leadership of Rhett, Colton brought the convoy to the shores of Sun Lake.

Each metal box that encapsulates aquatic monsters is specially made by alchemy. It has the basic capabilities of ventilation and water replenishment to ensure that aquatic monsters will not drown or suffocate.

After checking each box and confirming that everything was correct, at Rhett's instruction, all the aquatic monsters were thrown into the Sun Lake, splashing water.

As soon as you enter the lake, aquatic monsters such as the three-eyed fire fish, giant-tooth scallops, blue-back crayfish, and frost-shell crabs instantly become active, exuding vigorous vitality.

Their size is generally several times larger than the original small fish and shrimp, but they can still move quickly in the lake. Once they enter the water, they begin to prey on the original fish and shrimp living in the water.

The megalodon is a quiet scallop by nature. Although it moves slowly, if any fish or shrimp accidentally swims close to it, it will be swallowed by the scallop's big mouth in an instant.

The blue-backed crayfish and frost-shell crabs basically catch one small kid with one claw. Although their combat effectiveness is at the bottom compared to the monsters of the same level, they are more than capable of bullying ordinary small fish and shrimps.

Only the firefish is in a bad situation. Its little fireball is a joke in the water...

It can only rely on its big mouth to slowly swallow some slow-reacting small fish.

"Sir Rhett, aquatic magical beasts have higher nutritional demands than ordinary aquatic animals. If we can feed them some magical beast meat or water magical plants on a regular basis, we can speed up the reproduction rate of these aquatic magical beasts to a certain extent." Colton reminded as he looked at the wide circular lake.

Lei Te nodded. He was also aware of this common sense. Whether it was the monster meat or the water magic plant, it was just something he could easily obtain. He didn't take it seriously!

"Mr. Colton, is there any new development in the situation along the East Blue coast?" Rhett turned his gaze to Colton.

Colton narrowed his eyes slightly, hesitated for a while, and leaned in front of Rhett and whispered, "I do have some updated information, but not much. It is said that some people along the East Blue coast provoked a seventh-level monster in the deep sea, which caused such a big mess."

Hiss! Lei Te was secretly shocked. A seventh-level magic beast was still out of reach for him. He had already crossed the threshold of a high-level magic beast and mastered infinite power! The Duke of Jinlun Kingdom was at least at the seventh level!

He shook his head with a sigh. This made sense as to why there was such a tsunami along the coast of East Blue. If a seventh-level monster caused one, it would indeed be beyond the control of ordinary people.

"Has the chaos along the East Blue coast been settled now?" Rhett couldn't help but ask.

"It is said that it will be soon, because Grand Duke Blue Diamond has gathered people to deal with this seventh-level monster." Colton said with confidence, "Although the ocean is the monster's home ground, I heard that Grand Duke Blue Diamond has invited two seventh-level great magicians and three seventh-level sky knights, and they are determined to take down the monster!"

"Because the blood of that monster is very precious?" Rhett said thoughtfully.

Otherwise, it is enough to drive away a seventh-level monster. If you want to kill it in the ocean, the price you pay is not ordinary! Two-in-one, I have been waiting for a long time .
