Could it be that Wallis discovered something wrong? Jiang Jin wanted to ask more, but Wallis immediately changed the subject abruptly.
Just as Jiang Jin was about to continue asking questions, the door was suddenly blown open by a gust of wind. Jiang Jin and Wallis looked outside at the same time and heard Hayden's voice coming from outside the door.
"Why did you secretly go to get some wine again? Didn't you promise last time that you would never drink from the pub next door again? What are you doing now?" Hayden said with a hint of blame and questioning in his tone.
"You talk too much, Hayden." A slightly old voice replied.
Hayden seemed a little angry when he heard this. He chattered a lot in a dialect that Jiang Jin couldn't understand. Judging from his tone, he seemed to be blaming the person next to him.
He was talking excitedly, and the person next to him gulped down a mouthful of wine without any reaction, or even answering. He just walked in silently. It was not until the two of them entered that Jiang Jin saw the figures of Hayden and Bert.
Jiang Jin remembered that when she saw Bert and Hayden on the ox cart, she felt that the two dwarfs were humans of normal height. Unexpectedly, when the two dwarfs got off the ground, Jiang Jin discovered that Hayden and Bert were real dwarfs, and their height was not even up to her waist.
To be precise, he was about half a head taller than Lucas.
The two men met Jiang Jin's eyes, and a hint of surprise flashed across their eyes. Hayden reacted instantly, pointing at Jiang Jin and shouting. "Yes, yes, it's you."
In contrast, Bert seemed very calm. He glanced at Jiang Jin and Lucas in her arms lightly, then walked away with his wine gourd in his arms, as if he had no desire to say hello to Jiang Jin.
Jiang Jin had long known that Burt was a cold-faced but warm-hearted person, so she gave Burt and Hayden a sincere smile.
"Long time no see, Bert, Hayden." Jiang Jin smiled and waved and nodded to the two of them, which immediately made Hayden, the innocent little dwarf who was inexperienced in the world, blush. His hands and feet were stiff, and his limbs were a little uncoordinated, but he still tried hard to move towards Jiang Jin.
Bert went to the corner next to him, sat down on a stool, picked up the wine gourd in his arms and took a big gulp. He looked at Jiang Jin out of the corner of his eye but did not say anything.
Jiang Jin was filled with gratitude towards these three people.
She still remembered the sadness and misery when she escaped from the slave traders. She didn't understand anything and wandered alone in the forest in confusion. She even thought she would die in the next moment. However, she didn't expect to be rescued by these three people and brought to the city of Alicante.
At this moment, Wallis suddenly came to Bert with a pile of gold coins. He leaned over to Bert's ear and whispered something.
Bert then stopped drinking and looked at Jiang Jin straight in the eye. At the same time, he pushed the pile of gold coins forward and said to Jiang Jin, "Take these back."
Bert is an extremely majestic dwarf. When he looks at you with a stern face, you will unconsciously do what he says.
Jiang Jin hesitated for a moment before finally expressing her gratitude. "This is what you deserve. I was lost in the misty forest and you saved me. I wanted to repay you, but I didn't have anything worthwhile, so I used these gold coins as payment. So, I'm taking advantage of you."
She had some intention, but Bert refused to accept it.
Then the two of them started another round of tug-of-war.
It was not until Jiang Jin discovered that little Lucas in her arms was rubbing his young teeth impatiently that she reacted and remembered the main purpose of her going out this time.
Her eyes rolled and she had an idea in her mind.
"In that case, let's not count the favor of saving my life. I'll settle the other debts with you." Jiang Jin turned the gold coin in her hand and said this.
Bert looked up at her, somewhat puzzled.
Is there anything else between them other than the favor he owed Jiang Jin?
Thinking this in his heart, Bert cast a puzzled look at Wallis. It was not until Wallis shook his head at him that Bert finally confirmed that the three of them had no other connection with Jiang Jin except for that time.
With this thought, Bert slowly put his mind at ease. He untied a pipe from his waist, put it in his mouth, took two puffs of the cigarette, and asked Jiang Jinyu slowly, "What do you want to say?"
"Your family just opened a blacksmith shop. If I'm not mistaken, your place hasn't opened yet. I want to be your first customer."
Jiang Jin put aside her status as a city official and said this sincerely. Bert also slowly stopped smoking and looked up at Jiang Jin.
She guessed correctly.
After Bert and others opened this blacksmith shop, they really didn't do any business. They relied on the gold coins left by Jiang Jin last time to survive.
Of course, there is also Voorhees and the dwarfs' own savings to support them.
So, when Hayden saw Bert buying alcohol every day, he felt particularly distressed and kept talking to him.
Seeing that her plan was accomplished, Jiang Jin smiled with her eyes curved.
Jiang Jin patted Lucas's head, pushed him over to face Bert the Dwarf, and said to him, "He's grown some sharp teeth lately, and he wants to bite everything he sees. But these fragile objects can't withstand his teeth's attack, so I'd like you to help me design a toy."
"This toy needs to be strong enough for his teeth to chew on and large enough that it won't be easily swallowed by a child. Most importantly, I want you to use absolutely safe materials to make it for my Lucas."
We can compromise on anything, but we cannot compromise on this issue of safety.
Jiang Jin's request was actually very simple, but Bert and the others had no idea how strong Lucas's bite force was.
After hearing this, the expression on Bert's face did not change. Dada took another puff of his cigarette and was about to say something when Jiang Jin suddenly pulled out a sword from Bert's workbench and placed it directly in front of Lucas' mouth.
In a split second, Lucas suddenly opened his mouth! With a snap, he bit down on the sword! With that crisp sound, the sword was shattered by him.
The pipe in Bert's hand shook violently, and even his hand was a little unstable, causing the pipe to fall to the ground with a bang.
Jiang Jin had no idea that the long sword she casually picked up was made of the fusion of sea heart sand! !
