Dick's statement is not unreasonable. After all, normally, cases that occur within the main city need to be reported to the main city. However, the Seiya Village where Chris is located is under the jurisdiction of the main city of Bit. Generally speaking, the village will report the case to the main city. The chief directly reported the case to the main city and asked the main city to make a decision. Firstly, the villagers don't have much spare money to issue tasks. Secondly, this can also set off the dominance of the main city.
"Yes, we have reported it. When someone disappeared in our village a few years ago, we didn't pay much attention. We thought he was away to save relatives. But not long after, the second person disappeared silently. At this time, everyone felt something was strange. , according to the village chief's suggestion, they quickly sent someone to report. Later, the main city did send someone over, but unfortunately they just sent a greeting and went back after a symbolic formality.
As the days passed, we discovered that Tia was missing again while waiting in agony for the message from the main city. Moreover, a body suspected to be hers was found, but the village chief told us not to panic and to trust the main city.
It's already this time, how can I wait with peace of mind? After all, these three missing people all have one characteristic, that is, they are all widows, and I am also a widow!
I don’t think I can go on like this. Although I’m not afraid of death, I still have a son who needs to be taken care of, so I came here to seek help. After all, people in the countryside don’t have much money to ask for help from the Adventurer’s Guild.”
"Oh, so that's it? Then I understand, thank you auntie for clarifying the confusion."
The five said goodbye to Aunt Chrissy and her son and left the apartment.
Along the way, Dick saw Bufan lowering his head and couldn't help but patted Bufan and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"Well, I think that aunt's answer was a bit too general." Bufan thought for a moment, and finally felt that it was more accurate to use the word "general" to summarize. He vaguely felt that Aunt Chris was hiding something from them.
"You don't have to think too much. We just need to understand the general situation. We can only know the details by going to the scene for investigation." At this point, Dick turned to look at the other three people and asked, "Finally come out, Let’s take a stroll around Elas City and have lunch by the way.”
"Hmm, okay!"
"Then when will we leave for the mission?"
"If there's nothing else, let's go straight after eating."
"Well, can I be a little later? I want to buy a sword, a real one."
"Oh? Bufan, you finally figured it out? I thought you could walk into darkness with a wooden sword? This is really gratifying!"
"I've always been flexible, okay, Dick, do you think swordsmen are all rigid in your eyes? Are they all 'same to the end'?"
"No, you are wrong to blame me for this. If I were to talk about swordsmen, I would say that they are very loyal and dedicated."
"Is there any difference? Well, I won't discuss this issue with you."
"Haha, do you need to go together?"
"No need, it's just an iron sword. It's not a great treasure. Just go about your business. I'll follow after I buy it."
"Oh fine."
****
In Elas City, the best place to buy weapons is the Jubao Pavilion. Here, as long as your wallet is big enough, you can pick out a lot of good weapons that suit you. However, Bufan lacks the most important hard power, money.
So in order to prevent himself from drooling over this place, he took a long look and left cruelly.
After walking out of the main road and following the twists and turns of the dense spider web-like road, Bufan finally saw an extremely ordinary blacksmith shop at the end of an alley.
Although the blacksmith shop may look ordinary, the person living in it is not an ordinary person. He is Xiang Dongqiang, the forging master Guo Zhi mentioned to himself.
This person is the only forging master in Elas City, but he acts extremely low-key and does not want to be exposed to the public, so few people know about it. And Guo Zhi is just one of those few people.
The spider silk wrapped around Guo Zhi's body at that time had been made into two belts by the forging master. One belt had been taken away by Guo Zhi, and the other one Bufan wanted to get himself. After all, he also wanted to get an iron belt. The sword comes.
As for this hidden place, the careless Guo Zhina revealed it in no uncertain terms, but he still told Bufan that if the master could not be disturbed, he should try not to disturb him, and if he could bring as few people as possible, he should go alone as much as possible. People go.
It was rare for Guo Zhi to show such a serious expression. Of course Bufan would not be stupid, so he refused Dick and the others to follow him.
When he walked to the door of the blacksmith shop and looked at the big rusty iron door, Bufan hesitated and reached out to knock on the door.
But suddenly, he stopped.
There was a sound of cursing in the distance.
"Fuck, that little bitch beat me up, boss, you have to back me up!"
"Don't worry, they are really as beautiful as your boy said. I will help you avenge your hatred."
"Boss, I'm not going to lie to you. These two girls are so beautiful. The most beautiful one is simply a fairy. She can't even compare to the top star in the Hongchen Courtyard!"
"real?"
"Really! More real than pearls!"
"Haha, then the most beautiful one will be my wife. Do you know that you will call her sister-in-law from now on?"
"Yes, yes, whatever the boss says will happen!"
The sounds of chaotic footsteps gradually approached, and Bufan also heard the sound of the other party swallowing saliva. He thought it must have come from the boss.
Hearing this, he turned his head and looked over.
The other party was a group of eight people, wearing uniforms with white lining and black trousers, and holding weapons in their hands, either knives, axes, or swords. They looked like a group of gangsters.
This group of people came to the door of the blacksmith shop and saw a boy blocking the door. The wretched man leading the team immediately straightened his body, pointed an ax at Bufan with a domineering look, and shouted: "Boy, you are blocking the way. Do you know, please get out of our way quickly, otherwise don’t blame me for not having eyes on the ax in my hand..."
But before the man finished speaking, he was slapped hard on the head by a strong man next to him.
"Idiot, didn't you see the clothes on his body? Are you a fool?"
"Yes, I'm sorry, boss."
The leader known as the boss ignored the other party and looked at Bufan solemnly. When he saw Bufan's young age and the lack of club badges on his school uniform, he smiled and said: "Boy, you He must be a student of Elas Academy."
"Exactly. Any advice?"
"Well, we are members of the Tianlong Gang in Elas City. We are going to hold a private event here. Little brother, please give me some face and stay out of the way for now."
"Get out of the way. I remember that Elas City symbolizes the city of order. There are no regulations here that require people to clear out people when holding activities in public places, right?" After hearing their words before, Bufan already had a rough idea of them. I got the impression that they are not good people!
