Feiler led his men away. They came in with great momentum and left with great momentum, as if nothing had happened here.
Harley stood at the door, looking at the direction where Ferrer left, feeling a little puzzled. This kid Dolai had offended that little gangster, and that guy was really capable of doing so, he even dared to bribe the city guards.
He thought for a moment, turned around and looked at the somewhat anxious Dolai, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry about this matter for now. Just stay here. No one can stop you. I know you live in the slums. If possible, you can move here and live nearby. You have 20 silver coins a month now, which is enough to rent a better house."
Although Duomeng City is just an ordinary small town, it is backed by mines and the per capita living standard is not low.
Anyone can live in the slums for free, which is the best choice for most poor people with unstable incomes. But outside the slums, it is hard to say where ordinary civilians live. There are houses for rent, and the prices are not low. The lowest is more than three or four silver coins a month. For slightly better places, the monthly rent can even be dozens of silver coins, and this is for an ordinary single room. If you rent a whole courtyard, it will be even more expensive.
In the past, he couldn't even think about renting a house. Now, he can think about it, but he doesn't want to rent a single room with multiple people living in it. Safety is guaranteed, but he still has many shameful wizard experiments to do in the future, so he can only rent an independent courtyard or a small yard, which he cannot afford.
So he said awkwardly, "I don't want to rent it now. Otherwise, I'll just sleep on the floor outside." He pointed outside the blacksmith shop.
The corner of Harley's mouth twitched. How stingy is this boy? It's already 20 silver coins a month, and he still doesn't want to rent a house?
He waved his hand and said, "It's up to you, as long as you are not afraid of the cold."
It's been more than a month since the beginning of spring, but it's still quite cold at night. Plus, this is a mountainous area, so the temperature is three or four degrees lower than outside. Without a house to block the wind, it would be completely impossible.
Dolai glanced at the side of the forge. It was open on all sides without any shelter. Without the stove, it would definitely be very cold at night. Forget it, he decided to go back to the slums and save money until his mental strength was improved to the apprentice stage.
According to Naluye's Legendary Road, as long as a wizard enters the apprentice stage, he can refine many medicines. As long as he can refine any one of them, he can change his current destiny and embark on the road of legend, no, embark on the road of having no shortage of money.
Naluye was a great man. Although Dolai believed that he could not become a man like Naluye, it was easy to get rid of his current situation.
Damn Oddo, damn the city guards! Dolai remembered Ferrer deeply. This bastard who treated others lightly for a little money would suffer retribution sooner or later.
There was a lot of work to do that day and it was very boring, but Dolai still completed it seriously. At the same time, he learned how to forge various weapons. This was his current source of income, so there was no need to slack off on his work because of other people's difficulties.
Soon, the day passed and it was time to get off work.
Before leaving, Virak told Dole that he was now a contracted blacksmith, a first-class blacksmith, and his status had changed. He was no longer a pauper. He asked him to adjust his mindset and learn forging well. Oddo was just a small gangster, nothing more.
Dole shrugged.
He walked out of the blacksmith shop and headed towards the slums, but soon realized something was wrong, as if someone was staring at him.
He quickly walked into the slums and hid himself in the extensive passages.
After he left, Oddo's men gave chase, but Dolai had disappeared without a trace.
Standing at the intersection, Oddo threw his hat to the ground fiercely. "This damn bastard ran pretty fast, but he still lives in the slums. I'll continue looking for him tomorrow."
The hooligans next to him also nodded viciously. They had already heard about the boss going to cause trouble today, and he didn't even give face to the city guard. Duolai was really making a big fuss.
"He is just one person. We can't deal with him in the blacksmith shop. We can deal with him outside as long as we catch him."
"Yes, catch him, break his legs, and throw him into the mountains to feed the wild animals."
When Odo heard this, his anger gradually dissipated. He paid a huge price this time but was unable to do anything to Dole. His heart was bleeding. However, Lord Feller had lost face this time, and he had already made a note of Dole. In the future, as long as Dole left the city, he would find a way to continue to embarrass him.
"You keep watching him tomorrow. We will catch him one day. We have inquired about his monthly income of 20 silver coins. As long as we can catch him, it will be enough for us brothers to live a good life." Oddo encouraged himself and looked around.
No one in the slums dared to look at them, and the surroundings were in a mess. It was getting dark, and he was ready to go back. He wanted to have a drink with some big shots and build relationships with them. He had grown up, and his father had paved the way for him, so he should not waste this relationship.
Back in the room, Dole breathed a sigh of relief and touched the dog Oddo's head, his face looking a little heavy.
After playing with the dog Oddo's head and tickling him for a while, Dolai sat on the bed and began to practice meditation. As for the basic boxing and standing techniques, after a tiring day in the blacksmith shop, practicing basic hammering techniques was enough. There was no need to practice more at night. People always have to learn to rest.
He quickly entered a meditative state and visualized the second coin.
Perhaps because of his great emotional fluctuations today, his mental strength increased slightly, and the second copper coin increased at a speed visible to the naked eye, which meant that his mental strength increased slightly.
However, this speed is only short-term. It gets slower and slower as time goes by, and then slowly stops. Soon, Duolai feels sleepy and falls into a deep sleep.
Dog Oddo raised his head and sprayed a breath of colorful light on Dolai's body, then shook his body and walked away leisurely from the gate. Dolai looked not right when he came back today. Maybe something happened. This guy is a taciturn person. He never tells himself anything and never talks to himself.
Well, I'll follow him to the blacksmith shop tomorrow. This guy has me helping him to regulate his body every day, so he should have a very comfortable life in the blacksmith shop.
It's a pity that this guy is too poor. If he had the help of alchemical drugs, he should have reached the intermediate level of warrior apprentice soon. It's still too slow now. However, for ordinary people, this speed is already quite fast.
Dog Oddo is only responsible for the big trends, he is too lazy to take care of the small things. After all, Dolai needs to grow up and have enough experience, and he should not live under his wing.
He soon arrived at the same place in the mountain as yesterday. He changed his position and continued to absorb energy from the underground.
Although it is just a small vein, it is enough for him to absorb for many days. Up to now, he has gradually recovered 10% of his strength. Dog Oddo is not in a hurry at all and just takes it slow.
…
Dole has not been feeling well these past few days. Not only is he exhausted from work during the day, but he also has to fight wits and courage with Oddo's men when he goes home at night. The slums are indeed a lawless area where even patrolling soldiers and sheriffs don't go. Oddo is simply lawless there.
It's so annoying.
Although Odo is hateful, once you enter the slums, it is Odo's world. For three consecutive days, they have no chance to catch him. Dolai's second copper coin has already visualized a rough outline, and now he just needs to add details to it. However, despite this, he has not felt much improvement in his mental strength.
