Feller lay on a wooden chair, fanning himself lazily. Although it was not summer yet, the sun had already shown its power. There were no trees around, so the sun shone directly down on the city gate, which was still quite hot.

"Sir, Odo is here!" A city guard came to Ferrer and called him in a low voice.

Ferrer raised his eyelids, saw Oddo standing in the distance, and waved.

Oddo hurried over, lowered his head and said, "Lord Ferrer, I brought the portrait." He raised his hand and held a scroll in his hand. It was specially made by someone. He described it himself, and then someone else drew it. It was 90% similar to Ferrer.

Feiler opened the scroll, took a look at it, and then handed it to the city guards next to him. He passed it on and they naturally knew what it meant.

Feiler groaned for a moment and said, "I can help you find the person, but I may not be able to find him. After all, not everyone comes out every day. I will let you know when I find him."

Oddo nodded and said respectfully, "Then please forgive me, sir. This is a small gift from me." He felt in his arms, took out a purse and handed it to Ferrer.

Feller chuckled, "You're sensible. Your father and I know each other well, so we are old acquaintances. This money can be regarded as hard work compensation for the brothers."

He waved his hand and threw the purse to the deputy captain next to him, and everyone immediately laughed.

It is customary to do things for people after receiving money.

Of course, not all the money is given to the city guards. Half of it has to be given to the squadron leader, otherwise it will be difficult for him to be the squadron leader.

Oddo left quickly. In his mind, the lackey could only go to the mine and find Ferrer at the door.

Having lost two capable men at once and paid a large sum of money, Oddo hated Dole to the core. If he caught that guy, he would beat him to death to relieve his hatred. He hadn't seen him for dozens of days and Oddo couldn't bear it any longer.

…

As the weather gets warmer, the work at Lao Ke's blacksmith shop becomes more and more busy. The use of daily farm tools, weapons, and various knives and iron tools has greatly increased, and Duolai has been busy at the forging furnace.

Soon after becoming a first-class blacksmith, he had his own forge, but laborers were scarce, so unless he wanted to refine something or was busy, he usually worked for Virak and only occasionally did the forging. By this time, he already had his own exclusive weapon, a short narrow sword that was light and easy to carry, so he no longer needed to carry a hammer when he went home at night.

As the weather warms up, the loss of weapons in the barracks outside the city, the city defense, the police station, and the military office has greatly increased. Lao Ke's blacksmith shop receives orders almost every day, and soldiers from all walks of life can be seen coming every day.

However, Dolai soon discovered that after the city guards came once, someone was paying attention to him for unknown reasons and even asked other blacksmiths about his news. He felt something was wrong.

It seems that he has not offended the city guards?

The city guards left quickly. Soon, Harley called him to the back and asked:

"Dole, you didn't offend that adult, did you?"

Duolai was a little puzzled. "Brother Ha, I haven't been out of town for a while."

Harley was a little confused and said, "Someone just told me that a team leader was looking for you, and now he has found you."

Dolai thought about it and realized that he didn’t have any enemies. If he had an enemy, it would be Oddo. But what was the relationship between Oddo and the city guards?

He thought about it and told his story again.

Harley thought about it and understood a little bit. He patted Dolai on the shoulder and said, "I know. Don't worry. You are the contracted blacksmith of our Lao Ke Blacksmith Shop. Nothing will happen."

The background of Lao Ke's blacksmith shop is the military office, which is a lineage of the city lord and has an official background. The city guards are also under the jurisdiction of the military office. If a team leader wants to cause trouble, he has to look at his face, even if he is a squadron leader.

After sending Dolai away, Harley prepared to count the inventory. There have been a lot of things going on recently, and the amount of raw ore has become limited, so he has to prepare to import a batch of goods.

As the weather warms up, the military office prepares for military training and mobilizes all troops to clear the road to the county town. The loss of weapons, armor, bows and arrows is bound to be huge, so these things have to be prepared, otherwise it will be easy to be in a hurry when the time comes.

Only Lao Ke's blacksmith shop, which has the support of the city lord, has such channels. Other ordinary blacksmith shops are completely unaware of this.

The city of Dormont is rich in mining resources and is the most important city in the empire. There are a large number of troops stationed outside the city, which are directly under the empire's army, but are under the jurisdiction of the military office. Only the industries of the city lord Link's family, which have relations with the military office, can enjoy such convenient resource allocation.

The person Harley was going to meet was the third son of the Link family, Sainton Link. The Old Cobalt Blacksmith Shop was under the jurisdiction of this third son. In addition to the Old Cobalt Blacksmith Shop, there were three other blacksmith shops belonging to the Link family. They were all medium-sized or above. There was also a large blacksmith shop with three level three blacksmiths in charge. It was even said that there was a level four blacksmith, a senior blacksmith who could forge level four weapons.

…

After finding out what Manager Harley had said, Dolai felt relieved, but at the same time he also felt a strong sense of crisis. This damn Oddo actually had a connection with the city guards. This was a big deal.

Even though he was in the slums, Dolai knew about the two major security departments of Domon City: the Police Station and the Military Station. The Military Station was responsible for the army and the city gate guards, while the Police Station was responsible for public security and patrols. Although they were only the guards of the city gates, they had considerable power. If he wanted to leave the city, he had to pass through the city guards, which was troublesome.

The city of Duomeng is backed by mountains and has only two city gates. The direction close to the mountains is completely closed. One of the two city gates is closed all year round and only one is open. Therefore, Duolai knew that he was in big trouble and it would be difficult for him to get out in the future.

So even though he got the promise from Director Harley, he couldn't be happy at all. Damn it, this damn Odo.

For the first time, Dole felt angry at someone.

The afternoon was very busy. Dolai was not happy at all and was very depressed. After finishing his work, he left the blacksmith shop and quietly returned to his little house.

For an entire afternoon, Oddo's shadow loomed over his heart. Faced with the attack from official forces, Dole didn't know what to do.

Irritable.

He stood in the house, practicing boxing for a while, practicing basic swordsmanship for a while, then forcing himself to calm down, and finally practicing meditation.

After three days of practicing meditation, he had completely visualized a copper coin, with every detail exactly right. According to the book, this was the end. After all, his visualization was the simplest, but Dolai knew that this did not reflect the strength of his mental power. He could not even feel the improvement in his mental power. According to the book, this was actually the end. Visualizing an object was the first step in meditation.

Is this the end? Dolai thought it was definitely not the case. After thinking it over, he decided to visualize the second copper coin. This method was also inspired by Naluye's book, but it was just a concept, and Dolai was ready to implement it.

The difficulty of visualizing one object, two objects, or three objects is completely different. It increases exponentially. Dolai thought about it carefully and felt that if he could visualize the second copper coin, his mental strength would definitely be greatly improved.

Although he felt a little irritated, he quickly found a way to calm down and began to visualize the second one.

A copper coin is very small and can be easily outlined with mental power. With Dolai's current mental power, it is easy to visualize it. However, the second copper coin does not have the remaining mental power from the previous one, so he can only outline it bit by bit. Instead of visualizing the general outline like the first copper coin, and then slowly outlining it, this is not very realistic and the difficulty is greatly increased.
