Parallel Army - The Sound of the Turning Tide Chapter 79 Lailon's Heartbreak
At first, a forty-year-old blacksmith looked at Fangni's knife with disdain. But when he saw the tooth, he was shocked and immediately invited his master, a very energetic sixty-year-old man. This
An old master walked straight towards Fageni. "Young man, where did you get this material?"
"I got it during a mission. It's a tooth of a giant that can control people's hearts." Fageni answered calmly with many people watching.
"I can spend up to two hundred linseys to buy it. It would be a waste to use this knife." The old master took a deep breath and offered the price.
"I have thought about it before. This knife is the most convenient weapon for me. Using it can be regarded as a way to repay it for always being by my side." Fageni had made up his mind and thought of using it in Lamy.
Sacheng’s experience. [And this knife may not be that simple. 】
"That's really... In this case, the processing fee is twenty linseys, and the material of your knife is also very rare, which is also a difficult task." The old master sighed.
Fageni nodded, put the money and materials on the table nearby and asked, "I wonder if I can pick it up in a few days?"
"Since I did it myself, I'll pick it up in the evening." The old master took the tooth and the knife, and the apprentice took the money.
"Then thank you, Master." Fageni complimented, but it didn't come across as particularly respectful.
"How can I be grateful for my job?" The old blacksmith picked up a heavy forging hammer with one hand and walked towards the inside of the blacksmith shop.
After that, Fageni looked at the blacksmith shop for another quarter of an hour, but there was no good armor here. When it was time for dinner, he went back to the hotel on time to have a free meal.
After arriving at the trading house on the other side, Alexander first asked the staff whether there would be any conflict with the sea tribe if he wanted to swim to the Burial River Island. Then he would buy underwater breathing and mobile magic props and swim there, or if he could find them.
A sea tribe guide or something.
Hitz just smiled and said nothing. After all, she could easily damage her own image if she spoke. She was very self-aware now.
According to the staff, sea monsters in the deep sea will not let go of the food in front of them after leaving the shallow sea. Compared with the powerful monsters that can be determined on the mainland, in the vast sea, humans have very little information about sea monsters.
Therefore, underwater breathing props have almost no sales and have been discontinued for a long time. Magical items that can provide flight are extremely expensive and are often priceless. Nobles will spend a lot of money for the opportunity to fly.
Maybe you can ask the Sea Clan. The sales manager gave Alexander this advice. And if you want to find the Sea Clan, you can't go around the Duke's Palace.
"Thanks for letting me know, let's go try it." Alexander said goodbye and went out and said to Hitz, "I think we can only go find that old acquaintance of Carlin."
"We still have to go find the Sea Tribe." Hitz shook her head. The spring sunshine outside the Nishili Trading House was very warm, and it shone on her body. The shadow of the elf on the wall was more attractive than herself... "Alexander, you
What are you looking at? Let’s go?”
"Well, let's go to the Duke's Palace. Kanasti mentioned it before, and that's where I met him for the first time." Alexander finished his thinking and stepped forward.
"Okay." Hitz followed Alexander to the Duke's Palace. To be honest, she didn't really like talking to people she didn't know, especially people in high positions.
After the wedding, the avenue outside the Duke's Palace was still deserted. The two followed this avenue to the outside of the Duke's Palace, where two guards were diligently guarding the door.
Alexander stepped forward and talked to the guard: "We are mercenaries who have accepted the task of finding materials to cure squamous disease. I would like to ask the Duke for advice on some things. Isn't it convenient now?"
After the guard reported it, the two of them were allowed to enter without waiting long, but the weapons and space equipment must be kept with the guard.
Alexander was not surprised, and immediately put down his things without wanting to waste time. Heath looked at the holy relic dagger in his hand, showing a very reluctant expression, and made up his mind before putting all his few things with the guards and entering.
The two were led to the pavilion in the large garden by the guards. As they passed, they witnessed Princess Bai Ni and Duke Lailon having just finished afternoon tea. Princess Bai Ni left with a calm expression, while Duke Lailon showed an extremely sad expression.
But after he heard the footsteps, he quickly put away his expression.
Alexander judged that the mutual respect between the two people seemed to be due to the fact that the relationship did not seem to be progressing at all, and Lailan's heart disease seemed to have worsened.
Alexander stepped forward to salute and then raised his head and said: "Good day, Your Majesty the Duke. This is Alexander from the 13th Mad Wolf Mercenary Regiment. Because he accepted the task of finding materials to cure scaly disease, he now needs to go to Burial Island.
.But among the methods I have found so far, it is safer to use an ironclad ship to get there. So I took the liberty to come here this time, hoping to ask you to lend a helping hand, or to ask Princess Baini if there is any other way to get there."
Hitz also saluted, which seemed quite polite because he did not speak for the time being in order not to spoil the atmosphere.
"I've heard about this, but I'm not a member of the Navy, so I can't lend out the armored ship. If you want to use the power of the Hai Clan, I can contact you on your behalf, but you need to wait a few months." Lailan did not.
I said this after thinking for too long.
"Two months..." Alexander looked confused. "I wonder if there will be any changes if this matter drags on for a long time... Is there no other way?"
"Hmm... Proposing to obtain the cooperation of the Sea Clan is equivalent to bowing down politically. It requires the design of a large number of plans and a long process before they can be approved. But it is not impossible. I do have a method, but this method is not suitable for you.
The burden is too great." Lailan seemed to have thought of this method just now, and said immediately after Alexander finished speaking.
"Please, but it doesn't matter." Alexander was not too surprised by this.
"In order to match my status as a Duke, the Duke's Palace needs a magnificent ship to serve as a front. Although it cannot be an armored ship, it is still possible if it is just below the waterline covered with iron armor. This plan has been shelved for a long time, because I have not
It's not a title with real power. These also need to be applied for, so I can't come up with such a large sum of money. According to what you said, if the iron-clad ships under the waterline are enough to reach the Burial Island, I can pay for it after you return.
I can buy the boat back, but it will take some time."
"How much will it cost?" Although Alexander had a lot of money on hand, buying a boat required spending money.
"I don't know the specific content, but I can apply for a grant of 1,200 Lindsay." It sounds like Lailan really has no rights.
"Well... when we were looking for other materials, we received a reward of 400 linseys, and a deposit of 1,500 linseys, but we still have other things to deal with, and now we can probably only come up with 1,000 linseys at most.
Eighteen hundred and fifty Lindsay will come. If there are any more, it will take some time to prepare." This is Alexander, no. This is the limit of the mercenary group.
"Well... I have a piece of equipment here that I got during my adventure. I believe you can use it." Lailan seemed a little surprised why Alexander had so much money, and then he took out a silver necklace with a red stone.
"Well, it's obviously us who came to ask for help. How can this be embarrassing?" Alexander waved his hand.
"Yeah, I'm a little embarrassed." Heath said her first words in the Duke's Mansion.
"It doesn't have to be like this. I have no chance to take risks anymore. I am partly responsible for the conflict that aggravated the squamous disease this time. This is what I should do." Lailan shook his head.
"Being a mercenary really requires equipment, so I won't refuse anymore. Thank you for your consideration." Alexander still reached out and took the necklace.
"It's disrespectful." Heath said a strange word translated from Elvish to Common language.
Alexander took out the card containing 1,500 Lindsays and 300 Lindsays in cash. "Let's put the 1,800 Lindsays here first. Then we will see if it is enough. If not, we will find a way."
"I happen to have nothing to do. You can come see me in the afternoon." Lailan called a guard and prepared to go out to do errands.
Before the Duke left, Shiz thought of what Alexander had forgotten to do. She first performed an elegant elf etiquette on the Duke - probably, and then said: "Your Excellency, I am the Thirteenth Mercenary of the Mad Wolf.
Heath Erin of the Regiment, your former friend asked me to bring you a few words. His name is Karin Thaddeus."
Surprised, Lailan's lifeless eyes suddenly lit up with fire, but he covered it up quickly. "Is that so? It seems that he is doing well." This time Lailan showed a sincere smile,
But it’s also full of bitterness.
"He said that he had taken good care of the musket that you handed over to him before you left the town, but he just hoped that you could let go of those things in the past. He felt that there was no need to mention other things. He had already
He heard that you protected a people, became a duke, and married a princess. He was very happy that you had started a new life."
Alexander was just silent about this.
"Some things cannot be let go, whether they are regrets or responsibilities, whether old or new." This sentence is both a negative and an answer, whether it is positive or negative, but even so, it does not mean that Lailan will escape.
.
Lailan put on a gorgeous fur coat and headed towards the mansion outside the garden. The two of them and Lailan were led by the guards to leave the Duke's Mansion. The Duke walked in the opposite direction where the two left, and at the same time, Fageni also walked from the blacksmith shop.
When we walked out, it was already dinner time.
"Let's go back to eat first and come back in the afternoon." Alexander, whose stomach began to growl, took one last look at Lailan's back and returned to the hotel.
Alexander was a good eater, and Heath liked this very much. She was thinking about what delicious food she could enjoy when she returned to the hotel.
