Chapter 11: Coming Home

"It was a brilliant victory!" Cagan roared, "There's going to be a bard that adapts it into a story." "The dwarves were in high spirits.

"Thank you for your help, I am the captain of these soldiers. You can call me Munch. A middle-aged man from the crowd said.

"How did you get attacked by ogres? And not even ranged weapons. Henry was puzzled.

"These are just ordinary recruits, who routinely deliver a monthly shipment of fine steel blocks to Baldur's Gate as military supplies. Nothing ever happened. These ogres must have been migrating to the vicinity of Cloudy Mountain and were encountered by us. It's bad luck. The middle-aged man who called himself Munch looked helpless.

"Every spring when food is scarce, these crumbs start to gather, and if there are enough of them, they start attacking villages and towns. But it's rare to gather so many people at once. Cagan also felt a little unlucky to encounter this kind of thing, and looked at Captain Monk sympathetically.

Henry thought for a moment and felt that it had little to do with him, so he went over to see the injured man. Only two of the wounded had one arm broken and the other had a broken thigh. The rest of the dozen or so people were all in the middle of a shattered head or collapsed ribcage, and they were no longer saved. Cast one heal for critical damage and heal for moderate damage just after the bones of the two soldiers. The bones have basically grown, but the newly grown bones are still very brittle, and it will take at least a month of rest to recover.

"Thank you for your treatment, and I would like to ask you to accept a few gems as a thank you. I'll report this matter to the Grand Duke when I go back, and as for the reward, it will be distributed in a few days. Captain Munch took out a bag from his body, grabbed a handful of gems, and handed it to Henry.

"Xie Lu Xie, then I will accept it politely." He took the gem and glanced at it, and found that it was all large emeralds, and there were ten of them. Henry thought to himself that they were escorting not only steel ingots, but also gems associated with the veins, and perhaps some expensive materials such as rare metals. These ogres may have been taken advantage of. He himself has always been a proponent of conspiracy theories, and he generally thinks badly of people when he thinks about problems.

"We're going to keep going, so we're going to separate here." With that, Munch commanded the soldiers to carry the corpse onto the carriage. Shouting and directing the convoy to move on.

"I wish you all a smooth journey." Cagan and Henry waved at the convoy and shouted. After seeing the convoy leave, the two returned to the place where the horses were tied and untied the ropes and continued on their way.

In the evening, two carriages slowly entered the outskirts of Belgoust. Scattered houses and large tracts of farmland can already be seen on the roadside. Cattle graze on the side of the road, and some farmers finish their day's work and carry their tools home.

"After a moment in the city, we'll go to the Thor blacksmith shop to sell the goods, and then we'll go home. Let the carriage stay. It just so happens that your mother's bakery needs a wagon to make deliveries, and my blacksmith shop needs a wagon to pull ore. Cagan said to Henry behind him as he led the horse.

"Listen to you, my mother's bakery does have a large delivery volume. It's also too tiring to always use a trolley. Henry thought back for a moment and realized that his mother really needed a carriage.

When the sun was only half a face left, the two men drove to the door of Thor's blacksmith shop. As soon as I approached the gate, I felt a wave of heat coming from the pavement. Ping pong, the sound of hammers hitting iron billets is endless. "Tyron! Business is coming to the door. Cagan stood in the doorway and shouted at the top of his lungs.

A few seconds later, a middle-aged man ran out, with brown hair, a large beard, and a muscular body. "Hi, how is Cagan doing. Did I bring the shell of the digging worm I wanted? Oh hello, little Henry, "Tyrone. After a brief greeting, Fulong went straight to the point.

"Of course, we brought back a cart of bugs this time. There's also a Worm King and his elite guards. However, the price needs to be negotiated. The dwarf replied triumphantly, touching his beard.

"If there is really a worm king, the price can be negotiated, but I need to see the goods first." Tyrone was a little impatient.

"It's in the car. Mr. Tyrone. Henry gestured to the sackcloth-covered carriage. Tyrone turned around and called the two craftsmen, and walked over to the carriage and lifted the cloth.

"Oh my god, these guys are huge. Especially this dark green you look at his jaw. If you get caught in it, it will definitely become two sections. Many passers-by saw the huge head and shell of the carriage and began to stop and watch, and let out a burst of exclamations.

After carefully inspecting the skulls of the Worm King and several elite guards, Tai Long organized people to order the number and began to move them to the warehouse.

"I want all these shells, let's go in and negotiate the price. Please! ”

The three of them went into the house, found a room and sat down, and the apprentice gave them three glasses of mead. Cagan took the cup and drank it down, and took Henry's cup as well. "The ordinary shell 500 gold coins remain unchanged, and I will give 2500 to the shell of the insect king. Guards 1000. "Tyrone offered the price.

"The others are fine, but the Worm King costs 5,000 gold coins." Henry opened his mouth and began to bargain.

"Oh my God, 5,000 gold. How about you not rob up to 3000. It couldn't be any higher. ”

"Mr. Tailong, you've seen it. It wasn't an ordinary monster, it was already a magical creature. Its shell is large enough to withstand good magic and is resistant to acids, so it doesn't need to be robust. A simple enchantment can be used to make a magical full-body armor. You won't be ignorant of the price of a magic full-body armor. ”

"4,500 gold coins, I can only give so much. Adding the price of ordinary bugs, I have to take out 18,500 gold coins at a time. Any more will affect the normal operation of the blacksmith shop. "Tyrone thought about it again and again and offered a reserve price.

"Okay, deal." Henry found that he couldn't squeeze too much oil and water, so he nodded in agreement. After signing the contract, Tyrone told the two to wait and turn around to get the money. Cagan drank the rest of the mead and happily patted Henry on the shoulder and said, "Ha Lu Ha has made a fortune, and we can go home when we get the money in a while." Your mom will be proud of your performance. ”

"Actually, we've suffered a big loss, Cagan. If the shell of the Worm King is made into a magic full-body armor, it can be sold for at least 20,000 gold coins. ”

"No way, we don't have the skills to make magic armor. I'll only hit Iron Henry. ”

"When is your blacksmith going to open?" I'd like to learn a little bit about blacksmithing with you. Henry found that he was earning only a fraction of what he earned, and his desire to study at the High Fence Fort became even stronger.

"The day after tomorrow, the stove, the leather table, the tongs, the pot, the hammer, the pliers and the bellows are all ready-made. Just clean it up and you're ready to go. In addition, you have to go to the city hall to get a license. ”

While the two were talking, Tyrone walked in with two apprentices, each carrying a small wooden box. The apprentice stepped forward to open the box, and the gold coins were neatly placed in the box. "9250 gold coins per box, please order." Henry looked at the number of layers, and did a multiplication of the number of horizontal and vertical rows.

"Just right, happy to work together, sir."

"Counting so soon?" Cagan turned his head in surprise and his eyes widened. The poor dwarf was obviously not very good at math, and his method was to pour all the gold coins onto the table and throw them back into the crates one by one.

"Of course, Cagan. You can first count the number of gold coins and how many layers there are, and then count the number of horizontal rows and the number of vertical rows and multiply them together. Henry reluctantly explained to the dwarf.

"Damn, but I've poured them all out now. Forget it, I'll count it slowly. Patiently waiting for the dwarf to count the gold coins, it was already dark, and the two left the Thor's blacksmith shop with the box and drove home.

"Lily, come out quickly. I brought Henry back safely. When he came to the door of a bakery, the dwarf shouted at the top of his voice. Henry felt a little awkward, and was about to see his relatives in this body, which made him a little scared.

"Little Henry is back! I didn't hurt it. Henry's mother rushed out of the room. Pull him left and right to see if there is any wound during the examination.

"I don't have a bad mother, you know I'm a druid. There is magic to heal wounds. And Cagan is a veteran adventurer. Henry felt a little silly to be pulled around by his mother, and quickly explained.

"Brother Henry, have you brought me a present?" A little girl ran out of the house. Around 8 years old, I was a little thin. Long blonde hair wrapped in a turban, delicate facial features. A pair of blue eyes swept over Henry. What a cute little Lori.

"Of course, how could I forget the cute little Lina." As he spoke, he took out the money bag he usually used to put silver and copper coins and handed it to his sister.

"Wow, that's so much money." Lina looked a little eating. "Mommy, Mommy. You see, my brother gave me so much money. The little girl handed the money bag to her mother.

"Why did you give your sister so much money?" The mother was also taken aback when she saw that there were about a hundred silver coins and some copper plates in the bag.

"Lily, we've made a fortune this time. Let's go back to the house and let Henry explain it to you. I'm going to go home and clean up and find a tavern for a drink. The dwarf looked tired and turned back to his house.

Henry lifted the wooden box and said to his mother, "Mother, I bought this carriage." Tie your horse to the barn. ”

"You eat in the first room, and I'll take care of the carriage. Lina, you also hurry into the house to eat. "After the mother drove her children in to eat, she unloaded the wagon and led the horses to the barn. Ma was given a bag of beans and fed with grass.

Lily touched the horse's neck and thought to herself: with the carriage, it will be much easier to run her own bakery, at least you don't have to get up so early every day to make deliveries on foot. After setting up the horse, he turned back to the house and found Henry and his sister eating. There was a small wooden box on the ground.

"What's in here?" Mother asked. "Mom, you can open it and see that the box is unlocked." Henry replied as he ate. "Bad boy who pretends to be a ghost." Given Henry's penchant for mischief, Corlie carefully opened the box, and the golden light was dazzling in an instant.
