Although Ha Ge scolded him, Duolai felt happy.

After the Chinese New Year, Duolai was thirteen years old. He grew a lot taller and his weight increased significantly. His body became bigger. The No. 3 hammer in his hand no longer seemed very heavy and his strength increased greatly.

With his blood flowing, Duolai felt full of strength. After what Ha Ge said, he felt that this place was like a home.

Soon, everyone arrived.

After breakfast, as expected, everyone started to get busy. Several horse-drawn carriages came from the military office, carrying various military weapons. All of them needed maintenance, and some needed to be recast. There were a lot of them.

Dolai then understood what Manager Harley meant by "busy". The number was indeed a lot, but with such a large number, his commission must be very generous. Everyone was the same and worked very hard.

Virik was also very happy, because the more goods he had, the closer he was to the fighting skills, and the closer he was to becoming a third-level blacksmith.

Except for Virak, Santis and Morel are the same, working honestly and never slacking off for a moment.

Dolai was nervous all day, but no one from the so-called police station came to cause trouble.

It was not until the morning of the third day that people from the police station came. They did not come to find Duolai, but went directly to find Ha Ge.

Others may not know the details of Lao Ke’s blacksmith shop, but the police station certainly knows.

Dolai didn't know what they said. The man from the police station left quickly, looking a little ashamed. When he left, the man glanced at Dolai, as if he wanted to remember him. That look made Dolai a little scared, and his hand shook, accidentally breaking a piece of the sword blank.

When the police officer saw this, he was startled and left immediately.

Soon, Ha Ge came out from behind with a worried look on his face.

Dolai messed up the job and simply quit. He came to Ha Ge and said, "Ha Ge, what's going on?"

Harley pondered for a moment and said, "How can this be? They want me to hand you over. I said you are our contracted blacksmith, which is impossible. Besides, the incident happened in the slums. Don't they know who would go to the slums? Oddo is just courting death."

Duolai breathed a sigh of relief. There was no doubt that Ha Ge was on his side.

Ha Ge left, but Dolai was not at peace at all. Since they couldn't win head-on, they would probably try something shady. He knew better than anyone what kind of people were in the police station. He didn't understand why Oddo had connections with both the police station and the city guards. Was the world of the rich always like this?

He raised his head and glanced outside the blacksmith shop. At this moment, he felt that except for the blacksmith shop, the whole world seemed to be an enemy.

The arrival of the police station meant that he didn’t even dare to wander around the city. If he was discovered and taken away directly, he would be helpless.

What a bullshit.

Dolai's eyes went dark and he felt that his future was bleak.

He now urgently wants to be promoted to a wizard apprentice, and then learn the methods of refining potions to improve his survival rate. If a warrior is for head-on combat, then a wizard is synonymous with mystery. If becoming a blacksmith is to support oneself, then becoming a formal warrior or wizard is the foundation for survival.

Dole felt alert.

When he got off work in the afternoon, he did not leave the blacksmith shop immediately. He waited until dark and then quietly slipped out the back door.

…

Sam paced in the dim room, and soon the door creaked open and Carmen walked in.

Sam glanced at Carmen's face, his heart sank, and he said, "Master Carmen, what's going on?"

Carmen groaned for a moment and said, "Not for now. You know, I'm just a small detective. Old Ko's Blacksmith Shop is the property of the Link family and belongs to the City Lord's Mansion. It's not easy for me to go in and ask for someone, and it's not easy to see Manager Harley."

Sam hesitated for a moment, then looked at Carmen and said, "So what do you mean?"

Since he took my money, he must do things for me.

Carmen thought for a moment and said, "This matter still needs the intervention of the sheriff. Don't you know my boss, Dis? We can go to him."

Sam's face darkened. Finding the sheriff would be another huge expense. However, to avenge his second son, this little money was nothing. At worst, he could work for the sheriff in the future, smuggle some minerals out, and fill in some loopholes.

"Then I'll trouble you, Lady Carmen." He took out a gold coin from his arms and handed it to Carmen.

Carmen took the gold coins and left satisfied.

He has already found out Dolai's background. He is just a kid from the slums. As long as he can get the money, it doesn't matter if he offends Harley. He can just find a way to make it up to him afterwards. Dolai is just a small figure.

He quickly left the room.

Sam sat in the room and left quickly. He had been contacting acquaintances these days, wanting to buy alchemical drugs through the supernatural power institute, but he still hadn't been able to contact anyone.

The Institute of Superpowers is a place that is more difficult to enter than the City Lord's Mansion. He needs some time, but when he thought of Odo's injuries, Sam became a little impatient.

That little beast must die, he swore in his heart.

…

Walking on the dark streets, Dolai tried to walk in dark places, downplay himself and reduce other people's attention to him. He did not go to the slums, but followed the street to the city. He was going to the pharmacy. When he got off work today, Brother Ha paid him half a month's salary and commission, a total of thirty silver coins, which were very heavy. With these silver coins, he went to the pharmacy to buy some necessary medicinal materials.

These medicinal materials are very common and can be purchased at any ordinary medicinal material store.

After walking for about ten minutes, he came to the door of a pharmacy called Future. He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he walked in.

The pharmacy was not big, and all the herbs and finished medicines were displayed in plain sight. Duolai easily saw the raw materials of the medicines he wanted, and the prices below. He paused, and thought, "Hey, these medicines don't seem expensive!" The main ingredient of the first-level spiritual power potion, the awakening grass, was only two silver coins a plant, and most of the others were between fifty copper coins and one silver coin. He calculated that if he bought all the raw materials for the spiritual power alchemy potion, he could buy about five copies.

After seeing these, he immediately had an idea that if possible, he needed to buy all these things back today.

He didn't have the tools, so he couldn't directly make the finished alchemical potion, but he could eat it directly, but most of the medicinal properties would be lost. But it was too late now. What he needed now was to advance as quickly as possible.

Dolai had read Naluye's book very deeply and knew some principles of life in the world, so he did not go directly to buy what he needed, but bought a lot of herbs, mixed them together, and spent all his thirty silver coins in one go. Then he left with satisfaction. However, because of this, he only bought three spiritual alchemy potions and used the rest of the money to buy other herbs.

After leaving the drugstore, Dole bought a hooded garment on the way, covered his entire head with it, and walked towards the slums in a low-key manner.

When I got back to where I was staying, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

After I came back, I played with my dog ​​Otto as usual. This was also a relaxing process and helped me calm down.

Taking out the medicine bag from behind, Duolai took out the herbs he needed, placed them on the ground, and then put them in his mouth one by one in order, chewed them up, and swallowed them.
