lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Knight's Journey!
In this restaurant called'Huifeng Building', the three Locke, who had a lot of food and drink, walked out of the restaurant and looked like they were still interested.
Kane picked up the shredded pork in his mouth with a toothpick, smiled and said, "The waitress just had a big breast!"
Yes, this guy is talking nonsense again.
"I think the maid who served the food is bigger." Hans held back for a long time, and said that this guy is a boring type.
Locke hides his face and walks away, pretending not to know these two people.
It’s more comfortable to eat in such a larger scene than in a tavern.
Although the three of them didn't feel the difference between the two and the taste of the food, the high-end atmosphere can't be experienced in a tavern.
It’s good to eat and it costs a lot. A full four of Locke’s silver dele was spent, and this was his monthly salary in the past, and this meal was gone.
Of course, Locke is not bad at this time. Both Hans and Kane knew that Locke must have made more fortunes than the two of them, and they also acquiesced in the fact that Locke had a treat.
"Where to go next?" Kane spit out the toothpick in his mouth with a ‘bah’ and turned to ask Xiang Locke.
It's still early, so it's not worth it to return to camp like this.
The three people who had just had a full meal also need to digest the food in their stomachs, "Just just stroll around." Locke said.
The prosperity of Peters City really shocked the three of them. Who could have imagined that this busy city would have experienced the devastation of war five years ago.
Walking around, Locke suddenly remembered that the arm shield Henry had customized for him before was made in a blacksmith shop in Peters.
The original piece has been scrapped during the time in the Bering Mountains. The one used now is re-customized and has better quality than the original piece.
Following the vaguely memorized route and asking passers-by, Locke took Hans and the two to an alley south of Peters.
"Here?" Kane pointed to the dark and dirty door curtain in front of him, and there was the sound of ‘ding, ding, dangdang’ beating iron.
"Yes, that person dare not lie to me." Locke was also not sure. Locke just caught a passerby and asked about this shop.
The three are not wearing military uniforms, but with their strong physique and rude behavior, you can guess that these three are from the army when you close your eyes.
The main thing is that Hans is too unfriendly, his arms thicker than normal thighs are exposed, and no matter who stands in front of him, he feels frustrated.
Opening the curtains, Locke stepped in, Hans and Kane followed.
The light inside was rather dark, and Locke didn't see a figure when he came in. The sound came from the fire room.
Walking into the fire room, the beating sound of ‘ding ding dong dong’ became clearer, and the sound went deeper and louder with Locke and the others, until it suddenly stopped. Obviously, the people inside also found the visitors outside.
The thick embryos of weapons are neatly placed in the fire room. Most of them are swords and axes. There are also shields and spears, but they are relatively rare.
"Are the guests here to buy things?" The old man with a towel on his head walked out of the forging room in the fire room and asked with a smile.
The voice of this old man is obviously like that of an old man in his 50s or 60s, but he is full of tendons, not tall, and his arms are extremely muscular.
"We're just here to see." Locke replied.
He really just came to see who built his arm shield. The quality of the arm shield is good. Uncle Yoshak was amazed when he saw him. You must know that before he became a soldier, I'm also a blacksmith.
Hans and Kane were dragged by Locke to stroll around. If a month ago, they might have bought a handy piece of equipment. Now that the war is over, why would they buy it?
"Oh, then please!" the old man said with a smile, his kind expression is extremely incompatible with his muscles.
As the two talked, several small heads protruded from the door of the forging room in the fire room, all half-old children, one by one blackened by charcoal fire.
"All go back, all go back! Are all the irons finished?!" The old man also found out, turning his head and scolded.
Frightened by the old man, the group of children ran back to the forging room with a whistling sound. After a while, the beating of ‘ding-ding-dang-dong’ sounded again.
"It's all kids, they can't live anymore, they were invited to take care of the food." The old man said to the three of Locke seemingly explaining.
After living so old, this old man can guess that Locke and they are all soldiers who have gone to the battlefield to kill.
Locke nodded and said that he knew that through his accent, he could tell that the old man was indeed a Faustan, and the half-old children who worked in it should be Charlotte refugees.
"Walk around! I will take a few people to see the good things in our shop. The stuff here is all gross." The old man enthusiastically led the three of Locke out of the fire room.
Through chatting with the old man, Locke also knew that his arm shield was indeed from his blacksmith shop, and was made by the old man himself.
Hans is very interested in some of the equipment in the forge, especially the large axe and long knife. It's just shy in a bag, and it's no big use to buy it. It's just an eye addiction.
Kane is more interested in the half-old children in the forge.
"I can't live without my parents, so I came to me to earn money." The old man sighed.
Those who worked in his smithy were indeed from Charlowes, and the oldest among them was only 12 years old. I really couldn't imagine how these children wielded such a big hammer to strike iron.
The blacksmith's shop looks terrible from the storefront and the staff. If it weren’t for his arm shields from here, and he was praised by Henry and Uncle York’s for its good workmanship in turn, Locke would definitely have doubts about their ability. .
It may also be because of this that this blacksmith shop can't go on anymore, and the guys are gone as far as they can go, leaving him the old man with a bunch of children.
When he left, Locke gave the old man about 20 silver delle. Henry paid for the two purchases of arm shields. The reason why he returned the money to the old man was because Locke was able to take Angelina from the white The mountains came out thanks to the first arm shield.
Without that piece of equipment, he was probably killed by the moonlight wolf.
The old man originally wanted to refuse, but after being persuaded by Locke several times, he accepted it. He was indeed at the end of the world. 20 silver delle is quite a lot, saving a little bit, enough for his smithy for a dozen people. Two months of food.
Kane bought two iron locks for weight training, according to his words, one for his own use, and one for his apprentice Hank.
A total of 5 silver dellers were picked up, and the four silver dellers mentioned by the old man were enough. This guy was not a fortress to give them five.
Locke is accustomed to Kane's "prodigal". He knows that although Kane kills Charlotte soldiers on the battlefield without blinking, he is a softhearted life.
People are always contradictory.
After staying in the blacksmith's shop for a while, Locke and the others left. The blacksmith's shop really didn't look good.
The sky turned dark, and the three of them were not in a hurry to go back, and browsed the night scene in Peters City.
I have to say that Peters City has developed rapidly in recent years. The biggest place Locke had been to when he was a child was the town. At that time, every family closed their doors and chatted in the yard at night. . There is no one on the street outside.
At this time, countless torches were raised in Peters City. The moonlight and bright stars were quite bright, and they did not affect the normal sight of the residents.
This is also the reason why the three of them are not in a hurry to go back. After all, it is the first time to visit Night City.
Bought a pack of shanguo, and several people wandered around while biting the fresh shanguo.
In recent years, Peters led a large number of Faustans who had immigrated, some came voluntarily, some were forced to come by their own lords. Because of its vast plains, Peters led will definitely become the future of Faustans Development focus.
Forstein has no shortage of visionaries, and has already begun to plan early.
The immigration boom has lasted for three or four years, but as the territory of Charlotte, there are still more Charlottes here, accounting for about two-thirds, and Faustans only one-third. .
Not everyone likes to leave their hometown, most honest civilians are more willing to live, old, sick, and die in their homeland.
And these one-third of Faustans, Locke does not know elsewhere, but in Peters, they are definitely more advanced than the Charlottes.
As long as people walk with their heads upright on the street, most of them are Faustans, and those who bow their heads and dared not float their eyes are definitely Charlowes.
Because of the war, almost all Faustans hate the Charlois. As long as there are Charlows who dare to show a little disrespect to the Faustans, the grumpy people will do it directly.
As long as it is not killing or maiming, the city guards will basically ignore it.
So there are four classes of people: nobles, wealthy merchants, Faustin civilians, and Charlottes.
Without time to pay attention to the charlotte civilians who are still in dire straits, Locke and Hans looked at a juggling on the side of the road in a novel way.
A middle-aged man wearing a mask and a high hat, didn’t know what he took a sip, then opened his mouth, and the torch held in his right hand shook. A flame formed in mid-air, which really scared the crowd. the masses.
Locke could feel that there was no magic wave around him, which surprised him even more.
Hans sniffed carefully and said, "It's spirits!"
. . .
The rich nightlife of Peters City made the three elders roughly opened their eyes and shrank their pockets.
It's okay for Locke. Compared with his real property, these money is not worth mentioning. Hans and Kane are different. Hans has a little restraint, Kane is more casual, and this guy is full. The whole family is not hungry and does not use Dele as money at all.
In the middle of the night, a lot of torches in Peters City were extinguished. When the city's heat dropped by more than half, the Rockets swayed back to the camp.
Everyone has a special product of this or that, according to Hans’s words, they are taken home for the family to taste, according to Kane’s words, they are taken home to eat slowly, according to Locke’s words, we don’t need money. Buy anything you haven't seen before.
Before the three came back, they went to the tavern in Peters City to experience it. To be honest, Locke felt no different from other taverns. If you have to say something different, the tavern girls in Peters City are more beautiful.
One day of ‘tired’, the three of them slept until noon the next day before waking up.
As soon as Locke woke up, he was called by the baron for a meeting.
