After spending a while to appease Nick, George used his telepathic talent to connect the minds of the blacksmith Victor and the unicorn Nick so that they could communicate smoothly.
After completing the matchmaking work, George pulled Xantos to the other side, leaving Victor and Nick alone. Of course, George did not intend to eavesdrop on what they talked about, because he could already predict it. Nick's last resort.
Time passed by, and although the sunset had not completely set, the blood moon had quietly appeared in the mid-air, as if awakening the ghosts and ghosts in the wilderness in advance, and night was coming.
After about a long while, the blacksmith Victor came out of the room. This man as thick as a mountain had red eyes and an expression on his face that was unclear whether he was happy or sad.
"Mr. George." Victor lost the familiar feeling before and switched to a formal tone. "I accept your commission. I am willing to build a complete set of your Nightmare Beast's armor for you for free, but I only ask you one thing..."
"If you want me to order Nick to stay forcibly, I will not obey." George interrupted the blacksmith and said first. "Whether Nick chooses to leave or stay, I will definitely respect his choice."
"You misunderstood. I just hope you can treat Nick kindly. He is a good boy with a kind heart. He has suffered too much."
George did not answer Victor, just nodded solemnly.
After getting the answer he wanted, Victor turned his back, took a deep breath, pushed open the backyard door, and shouted at the apprentices who were eating and chatting:
"Boys, get up quickly! A big order just came in. We have to rush the work tonight. Let me see who of you dares to be lazy!"
After hearing the master's voice, these young apprentices who were laughing and playing a moment ago were all trembling with fright. They took a few mouthfuls of food into their mouths and quickly started to put it away.
Seeing his apprentices busy in a huddle, the blacksmith Victor snorted dissatisfied. Behind him, George was pulling the reins of the unicorn Nick, preparing to leave the blacksmith shop.
"Young man, why don't you stay here for the night?" Victor's voice was somewhat reluctant.
"No, I have to be on my way tonight. My mount will stay here for now. Don't worry, I have bound him through a magic contract, and he will not hurt you."
When Victor reprimanded his apprentice, George had already used the slavery contract to repeatedly warn Xantos in front of the unicorn Nick that he was not allowed to hurt the blacksmith Victor. Only then did Nick follow George away with great confidence.
Of course, George also told Xantos by the way. Although Xantos has the obligation to protect the blacksmith when George is not with him, if he encounters any special situation, he must notify George as soon as possible and return to George as soon as possible. around.
Of course, even if the blacksmith repeatedly rejected the money that George handed him, George would not take advantage of him. Before leaving, he chose a conspicuous place in Victor's "backyard" and placed a large bag of gold coins. As a reward for custom-made armor.
"This is also a small thank you for taking care of Nick for many years." After placing the gold coins, George comforted himself.
Hearing the news that George was leaving tonight, the blacksmith's eyes dimmed for a moment, and then he patted George on the shoulder.
"Young man, give me a week and the custom-made armor you want can be made. Remember to come and get it!"
George nodded, then rode on Nick, and left the blacksmith shop at once.
"Uncle Third, you seem to be in a good mood today. Who is this guest?"
After George walked away, an apprentice timidly asked the blacksmith Victor. This apprentice's name was Dick. He was the child of Victor's distant relative and Victor's most proud disciple. Despite this, in Dick's impression, the blacksmith Victor always had a straight face and an unsmiling image. Even when facing nobles, he turned his nostrils upward with a look of disdain.
Only when his daughter comes back occasionally will he have as many rich emotional changes as he does today.
"He is my nobleman... Damn it, young man, if you have time to take care of me, you might as well clear away the dishes at the door and go and tidy up the stables!"
Victor sighed, suddenly realizing that he had let slip, and quickly pushed the young apprentice aside.
"Hey, these days, there are really fewer and fewer young people who have the patience to watch me strike. Although it is just a feeling, this young man seems to be very destined to the flames. If he can stay and be my apprentice, I will Send him the fire."
Victor took a sip of water and stroked his beard. Then he suddenly remembered something important and slapped his thigh. As a result, he used too much force in his excitement and plucked out a few strands of his beard. .
"God of Light, it hurts me to death! Why did I forget to ask that boy if he was married? Really, my wild girl who is full of war-minded people should stop and find a man to take care of her!"
