Chapter 278 Blacksmith (Asking for Monthly Tickets and Recommendation Tickets)
Thales had a look of anger on his face. When he and White Hat found the group, dozens of people had already died in the small village there, and the population of the entire village was less than a hundred, which showed how ferocious the bandits were.
Count Nero took a breath. He had no doubts about whether a marquis territory had the power to wipe out this group of bandits. However, the time may not be too fast, and the death and injury of some innocent people is inevitable.
After all, Leite's rise was too fast and the accumulation time was too short. In his opinion, if he didn't take action personally, he might not be able to easily solve the intermediate and above gangs.
But judging by Taylor's tone just now, it only took more than a week from the time the intelligence was received, to the resolution and return. This efficiency is amazing. At the same time, it also reflects that the strength of Marquis Leiter's men is actually quite terrifying!
He was even more happy in his heart, and it was definitely a wise move to ask for marriage.
"Well done, Taylor. I believe this exercise will be helpful for your actual combat." Leiter stood up, walked over and patted his youngest son on the shoulder.
"Father is right. Those bandits were vicious and had rich combat experience. Fortunately, Mr. White Hat was there to help me and gave me an excellent opportunity to practice. I am really grateful to Mr. White Hat!" Thales Said with emotion. Then he added: "I miss my Mina and Abel a little bit after being away for so long. Does your father know where they are?"
"Riley's room, Mina should be telling a story at this time."
Thales's eyes lit up and he said, "Then I'll go up first and you guys can chat slowly."
"Well, go ahead."
Watching Taylor's back going up the stairs, Leiter shrugged and looked at Count Nero: "Since we mentioned the engagement just now, do you want to meet Dick? That's a noisy little guy. I even suspected that you had met him. The idea of marriage will be canceled later.”
"No, no, no, how could it be? Liveliness is the nature of children. The more lively it is, the more lively Dick is!" Count Nero doesn't care about this. No matter how many shortcomings he has, he will agree without hesitation, not to mention being lively is not a shortcoming.
Fourth floor, Riley's room.
"Dick, what is that one with the horns on its head, a minotaur?"
"Of course, what else could a horned one be if it weren't a minotaur!"
"Goats also have horns, rhinos also have horns, as well as sika deer, golden-eyed deer..." Jaina slapped a window in the room with both hands, and happened to see two orcs working hard at the training ground, their eyes glowing with joy!
"Well, okay, I really didn't expect it, but there are no goat-men among the orcs, let alone rhino-men." Dick scratched his head and said.
At this moment, the two of them were standing side by side on the small bench, looking in the direction of the training ground together, completely unattracted by the story Mina told later.

The door was opened, and Dick, who had an active nature, turned his head and glanced, but the next moment his face was horrified, and he shouted in panic: "Ahhhh, the big bad wolf is coming!"
Jaina also heard the sound and turned around. Since she had never heard the story of Little Red Riding Hood, she didn't find it too scary. It was just a werewolf wrapped in a dark element, which looked a bit scary.
"Ouch~Dick, I'm going to eat you." Thales bared his teeth and claws, jumped up, and pretended to pounce on Dick.
The other children in the room were frightened and ran away, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
But suddenly, when Thales jumped up, Dick showed a cunning look, took out a small stone from his trouser pocket, and threw it quickly.
With a swish, the stone drew a long line and hit Thales.
"Snapped"
Looking at the triumphant Dick, Thales was stunned for a moment. As a second-level magician, of course he would not be successfully attacked by a child, so he reached out and grabbed the pebble.
Then, he dispersed the dark elements wrapped around him, looked at Dick up and down, and said with admiration:
"Haha, Dick, you kid, can you stop being afraid of the big bad wolf so quickly? You are much smarter than Tucker when you were little!"
"You are not allowed to talk about my father!" Dick pouted, made a face, and said: "My father is very smart. He taught me that. Next time you scare me, show weakness first, and then Find an opportunity to fight back.”
Thales did not expect Dick to say this. He stared and wanted to say something, but a gentle voice came from behind:
"Very well, Dick, your courage is not inferior to your father's, and your wisdom far exceeds it. But let me add that Thales is not your enemy."
"Father, you are here, please sit down!" Kelina was the first to react. She was wearing a blue dress and pushed a chair for Leiter.
Mina, who was telling the story, also stopped and looked at the door. The other members of the third generation, Leite's little grandchildren, jumped up to Leite and pulled up the corners of their clothes, chirping in innocent and childish voices. It was so powerful that it overwhelmed all the noise in the room.
Hearing his grandpa praising himself, Dick seemed to have forgotten everything and smiled broadly. His expression was so naive that Leiter suddenly saw Tucker possessing him again and couldn't help but laugh.
Leiter sat down, stroked the little heads of the people around him, and said, "Dick, Gianna is your good friend, you can't bully her."
"Dick didn't bully me." Jaina was helping to speak on the side. She tilted her head and added, "He also said he would take me to watch the giant horn perform acrobatics!"
Taylor's eyes lit up, and he said with interest: "Oh, Dick, I didn't expect you to have this skill. Did you learn it from your father?"
"Taylor, can you be more serious?" Mina rolled her eyes when she heard this.
At this time, Count Nero was standing closest to the door. Jaina finally saw him, and she ran over with joy and hugged his thigh.
Dick's little head didn't seem to understand what Thales meant. He just thought he was praising him and continued to smile.
Rhett walked up and touched Dick's head, saying: "Since it is your promise, you have to fulfill it. Let the orcs perform acrobatics, it's up to you."
"Ah? Don't they know how to do it themselves? Do they need to be taught?" Dick's smile froze and he was dumbfounded.
"Without anyone training and teaching, of course they can't. If they just barely cope, it will definitely be a bad performance." Rhett turned his head to look at Jaina, and then looked at Dick again: "Do you want your good friend to see a bad performance?"
"No, I don't want to." Dick shook his head and said.
"That's right. This task is for you. Whether Jaina can see the orcs' performance depends on you." Rhett said with a smile.
Dick took a deep breath, full of fighting spirit, and nodded, saying, "Then let me do it!"
At this time, Count Nero patted Jaina, who blinked and seemed to understand something, and said loudly, "Dick, thank you!"
"No, you're welcome, Jaina!" Dick blushed, touched the back of his head, and said a little embarrassedly.
At this time, a strange color flashed in Taylors' eyes, as if he noticed something. Including Vanessa, Klina, Mina, etc. in the room, they all looked at each other tacitly, and then smiled knowingly.
Vanessa was even more thoughtful and sat aside in silence.
After chatting in the room for a while, Rhett and Count Nero left. When they had lunch together at noon, the family discussed the engagement. Tucker heard that Dick had a good impression of Jaina, and he agreed to it.
In the afternoon, Count Nero left with excitement, and his steps felt light when he walked.
Not long after Count Nero left, Vanessa found Rhett and said, "Father, although Dick and Jaina have decided to get married, I hope that if something unacceptable happens to them in the future, the marriage can be cancelled."
"Unacceptable things? Are you worried that Jaina will do something promiscuous?" Rhett thought for a while and said, he knew that some noble circles were indeed promiscuous and played very colorfully.
"More than that, of course, it is a very important part, I hope Dick is happy."
Rhett smiled and comforted him, "Please rest assured, I will let Count Nero supervise well, otherwise he will feel extremely heavy pressure."
Vanessa breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't dare to interrupt at the dinner table just now. In fact, she knew her weight and could only talk to her father privately. Fortunately, she got a satisfactory result, so she said, "Thank you, father!"
"Haha, why thank me? Don't forget that Dick is also my grandson, and I am not doing this to help you!" Rhett smiled slightly and turned away.
Vanessa looked at Rhett's back and was quite moved, as if a warm current was flowing into her heart.
She was going to go back to the room to have a good chat with Dick, but when she turned around, she suddenly looked at the wind flower tree next to her in surprise. A girl with short purple hair was hiding behind the tree, sticking her head out to look at her, as if she knew she was discovered, she stuck out her tongue and ran away embarrassedly.
"Ellie? What are you doing hiding there? Are you trying to scare me and play a prank on me?" Vanessa looked suspicious and said, "Also, what are you hiding behind your back? A prop for a prank?"
Ellie giggled, put her hands hidden behind her back in front of her, and gently shook the gift box on it: "How is it possible! Vanessa, today is the anniversary of your becoming a knight, and this is a small gift I made by myself."
"Knight's anniversary?" Vanessa was stunned for a moment, and after she came to her senses, she said in surprise: "Ellie, you are so thoughtful, I haven't paid attention to this festival myself, today is really an unforgettable day."
"Thank you, Ellie, my good sister."
Vanessa hugged Ellie, and after they separated, she said: "I will open the gift in my room, but before that, I want to ask you something."
"Go on, what is it?" Ellie smiled: "Hurry up and tell me, I have to go to the ranch to transport milk later."
" You go to the training ground every day, are you familiar with the two orcs? "
Ellie tilted her head and said, "Not really, but sometimes we chat, because I deliver food to them every other day."
"Really? That's great, I want to ask a favor, can you take Dick with you in the future and let him communicate more with the two orcs? "
"That's no problem, but why do you want me to help? Wouldn't it be more convenient to ask Tucker to help directly?" Ellie was puzzled, and suddenly opened her eyes wide and said, "Did you have a quarrel?"
Vanessa rolled her eyes: "What nonsense are you talking about, I just want to train Dick, anyway, he is still young, and he doesn't need knight training, and he has plenty of time to waste."
"Okay, it sounds reasonable, but what can it train?" Ellie muttered, "Anyway, I will help you, as long as Dick is willing. It's okay."
"Thank you, I'll let him find you tomorrow." Vanessa smiled slightly.
Spring is gone and summer is coming.
The mid-level blacksmith Leiter finally waited for to come to him was a fourth-level earth knight named Aldous.
"Now that our blacksmith shop has a new member, the original space is approaching its limit, right?"
In the lobby on the first floor of Brother Tie's blacksmith shop, Leiter said to the blacksmiths surrounding him.
"The Lord is right. Although there are two vacant rooms upstairs, after Mr. Aldous moved in, there is only one room left. Although it is spacious, it will definitely not be enough for one more person." Glencoe frowned and thought. said.
"Then I will find a group of masons to come over another day to expand and upgrade the blacksmith shop." Leiter made a final decision.
"Lord, don't go to such trouble, just leave this matter to me!" At this time, Aldous, who had just joined the blacksmith shop today, said quickly.
Hearing this, the other blacksmiths all looked at this bald man, and Leiter followed suit. He was nearly two meters tall, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and rough skin.
"What do you think?" Leiter asked curiously.
"To be honest, my father is a stonemason. In addition to being a blacksmith, I also learned the stonemason craft from my father when I was a child. With the power of my earth knight, I only need to expand the blacksmith shop. One person is enough, and The efficiency is definitely high enough!" Aldous added: "Well, it can also be created to suit my wishes."
Leiter smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to have this ability. That would be great. In this case, I will leave this task to you. I will directly gather a batch of high-quality stones nearby to meet your needs."
Aldous grinned: "Thank you Lord, but can this matter be postponed for a while? I plan to go home first and pick up my father. He still lives in the small village in his hometown. And my father He is also a stonemason. When the time comes, he will help me and it will be easier to build. ”
"It's a trivial matter!" Leiter waved his hand, not caring, but still asked: "Why didn't you just bring your father with you when you came over?"
Hearing this, Aldous scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Because I'm worried about being rejected by you and don't want my father to go through this trip in vain, so..."
Leiter smiled and waved his hand to stop: "Okay, I understand what you mean, no need to say anything more. Just bring your father here, and I will arrange a house for your father in Dark Eagle City."
"That's so embarrassing. I can just buy it with my own money!" Aldous was shocked and waved his hand.
