Broad World

Chapter Eleven Going Home

"This is a brilliant victory!" Cagan roared. "There must be a bard adapting it into a story." The spirit of the dwarf was extremely excited.

"Thank you for your help. I am the captain of these soldiers. You can call me Monk." A middle-aged man walked out of the crowd.

"Why were you attacked by ogres? And you don't even have long-range weapons." Henry felt very puzzled.

"These are just ordinary recruits. As usual, a batch of high-quality steel blocks are sent to Baldur's Gate every month as military supplies. Nothing has ever happened. These ogres should be migrating to the vicinity of Yunwu Mountain. We encountered What a bad luck." The middle-aged man who called himself Monk looked very helpless.

"Every spring when there is a lack of food, these bastards will start to gather. As long as there are enough people, they will start to attack villages or small towns. But it is really rare to gather so many at one time." Cagan also felt that it was a bit unlucky to encounter such a thing, He looked at Captain Monk sympathetically.

Henry thought for a while and felt that it had nothing to do with him, so he walked over to see the injured person. There were only two wounded, one with a broken arm and the other with a broken thigh. The rest of the more than a dozen people had broken heads or collapsed chest cavity and were beyond rescue. Cast a heal serious damage and a heal moderate damage right after the bones for both soldiers. The bone has basically grown, but the newly grown bone is still very brittle and needs to rest for at least a month to recover.

"Thank you for your treatment. Please accept a few gemstones as a gift. I will report this matter to the Grand Duke when I go back. As for the rewards, they will be distributed in a few days." Captain Monk took out a bag from his body and grabbed it. A handful of gems was handed to Henry.

"Thank you, then I'll accept it without hesitation." After taking the gems, he glanced at them and found that there were ten large emeralds. Henry thought to himself that it seemed that what they escorted were not only steel ingots, but also gemstones associated with ore veins, and perhaps some expensive materials such as rare metals. These ogres may be being used. He himself has always been a supporter of conspiracy theories, and he generally thinks of people badly when considering issues.

"We have to continue on our way, let's separate here." After speaking, Monk commanded the soldiers to carry the body onto the carriage. Shouting and directing the convoy to move on.

"I wish you all the best of luck." Cagan and Henry waved at the convoy and shouted. After watching the convoy leave, the two returned to the place where the horse was tied, untied the rope and continued on their way.

In the evening, two carriages slowly entered the outskirts of Belgoost. Scattered houses and large tracts of farmland can already be seen along the road. Cattle are grazing leisurely on the side of the road, and some farmers are ready to go home with farm tools after a day's work.

"After entering the city for a while, we will go to Thor's blacksmith shop to sell the goods, and then go home. Leave the carriage. It just so happens that your mother's bakery needs a car to deliver goods, and my blacksmith shop also needs one when it opens. The carriage pulls ore." Cagan said to Henry behind him while leading the horse.

"Listen to you, my mother's bakery does have a lot of deliveries. It's too tiring to use a cart all the time." Henry thought back and found that his mother really needed a carriage.

When the sun had only half of his face left, the two drove the car to the door of Thor's blacksmith shop. As soon as I approached the gate, I felt a wave of heat coming over my face. Ping ping pong pong, the sound of hammers beating iron billets can be heard endlessly. "Tailone! The business is here." Cagan shouted loudly while standing at the door.

A few seconds later, I saw a middle-aged man running out, with brown hair, a big beard, and a body of strong muscles. "Hi, how's Cagan doing? Have you brought the burrower shell I wanted? Oh, hello little Henry." Tyrone Furlong gave a simple greeting and then went straight to the point.

"Of course, we brought back a large cart of worms this time. There is also a worm king and his elite guards. But the price needs to be renegotiated." The dwarf replied proudly, stroking his beard.

"If there is an insect king, the price can be negotiated, but I need to see the goods first." Tai Long was a little impatient.

"It's in the carriage. Mr. Tyrone." Henry pointed to the carriage covered with sackcloth. Tai Long turned around and called two craftsmen, then walked to the side of the carriage and lifted the cloth.

"Oh my god, these guys are really big. Especially this dark green one. Look at his jaw. If it gets caught, it will definitely become two pieces. Many passers-by saw the huge head and shell on the carriage and began to stop and watch And issued bursts of exclamation.

After Tailong carefully inspected the heads of the insect king and several elite guards, he organized people to order the quantity and start transporting them to the warehouse.

"I want all these shells, let's go in and negotiate a price. Please!"

The three of them entered the house and found a room to sit down, and then the apprentice served three glasses of mead. Cagan picked up the glass and drank it down, and brought Henry's glass over as well. "Ordinary shells cost 500 gold coins. I'll pay 2,500 gold coins for the king of insect shells. 1,000 gold coins for guards." Tai Long offered the price.

"Others are fine, but the bug king wants 5,000 gold coins." Henry opened his mouth and began to bargain.

"My God, 5000 gold coins. Why don't you go and rob at most 3000. It can't be higher."

"Mr. Tailong, you have already seen the insect king. It is not an ordinary monster, it is already a magical creature. Its shell is large enough to have good magic resistance, and it is also resistant to acid, and its strength is not so strong. It needs to be mentioned again. A magic full body armor can be made with a simple enchantment. You don’t know the price of a magic full body armor.”

"4,500 gold coins, that's all I can pay. Adding the price of ordinary bugs, I have to pay 18,500 gold coins at a time. Any more will affect the normal operation of the blacksmith shop." Tai Long thought about asking the reserve price again and again.

"Okay, it's a deal." Henry nodded in agreement when he realized that there was not much to squeeze out. After signing the contract, Tai Long asked the two to wait and turn around to withdraw the money. After drinking the remaining mead, Cagan happily patted Henry on the shoulder and said, "Haha, you're rich. We can go home as soon as we get the money. Your mother will be proud of your performance."

"Actually, we have suffered a lot, Cagan. If the shell of the bug king is made into a magical full body armor, it can sell for at least 20,000 gold coins."

"No way, we don't have the technology to make magic armor. I can only blacken Henry."

"When is your blacksmith shop going to open? I want to learn forging from you." Henry found out that what he earned was only a fraction of what others earned, and his desire to go to High Shed Fort to learn was even stronger.

"The day after tomorrow, the stove tanning table, the hammer for tongs, and the bellows for tongs are all ready-made. You just need to clean them up and they can be used. In addition, you need to go to the city hall to apply for a license."

The two were talking, and Tai Long walked in with two apprentices, each carrying a small wooden box. The apprentice stepped forward to open the box, and the golden light shone immediately, and the gold coins were neatly placed in the box. "Each box has 9250 gold coins, please order." Henry looked at the number of layers, and multiplied the number of horizontal and vertical rows.

"Just right, Mr. Happy Cooperation."

"The count is over so quickly?" Cagan turned his head and widened his eyes in surprise. The poor dwarf was obviously not very good at mathematics, and his method was to dump all the gold coins on the table and throw them back into the box one by one.

"Of course Cagan. You first need to count how many layers of gold coins, then count the number of horizontal rows and the number of vertical rows and multiply them together." Henry explained to the dwarf helplessly.

"Damn it, but I poured them all out now. Forget it, I'll count slowly." After waiting patiently for the dwarves to finish counting the gold coins, it was already dark. car home.

"Lily, come out quickly. I brought Henry back safely." The dwarf shouted at the door of a bakery. Henry felt a little awkward. He was about to see his relatives in this body, which made him a little scared.

"Little Henry is back! Why are you not injured?" Henry's mother rushed out from inside quickly. Pull him to look left and right to see if there are any wounds during the inspection.

"I'm fine Mom, you know I'm a druid. I have magical powers that can heal wounds. And Cagan is a senior adventurer." Henry felt a little silly being dragged around by his mother and quickly explained .

"Brother Henry, did you bring me a gift?" A little girl ran out of the house. Around 8 years old is a little thin. Long golden hair wrapped in a headscarf, exquisite facial features. A pair of blue eyes swept over Henry. What a cute little loli.

"Of course, how can I forget the lovely little Lina." He said and took out the money bag that he usually put silver and copper coins in and handed it to his sister.

"Wow, so much money." Lina looked a little hungry. "Mom, mother. You see my brother gave me so much money. The little girl handed the purse to her mother.

"Why did you give your sister so much money?" The mother was also surprised to see that there were probably hundreds of silver coins and some copper coins in the bag.

"Lily, we made a lot of money this time. Let Henry explain to you slowly when we get back to the house. I'm going to go home and tidy up and find a tavern to have a big drink." The dwarf turned back to his home with a tired face. up.

Henry lifted the wooden box and said to his mother, "Mom, I bought this carriage. You can tie the horse to the barn."

"You go in for dinner first, and I'll take care of the carriage. Lina, you go in for dinner too." The mother drove her children in for dinner, unloaded the carriage, and led the horse to the barn. Add a bag of bean feed to the horse to feed the grass.

Lily touched the horse's neck and thought: With the carriage, it will be much easier to run her own bakery, at least you don't have to get up so early every day to deliver goods on foot. After setting up the horse, he turned and went back to the house, only to find that Henry and his sister were eating. There was a small wooden box on the ground.

"What's in here?" Mother asked. "Mom, you will know when you open it. The box is not locked." Henry replied while eating. "A bad boy who pretends to be a ghost." In view of Henry's mischievous ex-Colily, he opened the box carefully, and the golden light was instantly dazzling.
