Chapter 85: Emergency at the Mines – Smithing

Ye Tian brought everyone through the streets and to a smithy. A young blacksmith was hammering down on an anvil, sending Ding~ Dang~ sounds echoing through the room.

“Little girl, you’ve arrived.” He saw Ye Cang behind her, and quickly dropped his hammer to perform a salute. “Sir Director!”

Ye Cang vainly waved his hand, feeling satisfied. “At ease.”

A grizzly haired old man came down from the 2nd floor. He saw Ye Tian and smiled. “Little girl, are these the ones you said could help with the crisis at the mines?”

He saw Ye Cang and his expression immediately became respectful. “So it’s sir director. Sorry to have disturbed you with these trifling matters. This old man is the foreman – Wales.”

“No matter, no matter. Elder Wales, I’ve come to help you deal with the problem. As Really New Village’s Vice Director, it is my duty.” Ye Cang once again revelled in their respect until he was satisfied, then quickly patted his chest and spoke modestly. ThornyRose’s girls all sighed. The title of Really New Village’s second in command has been taken by a scumbag. It felt as if all the good vegetables had been dug up by a pig.

After some hesitation, the old blacksmith sighed. “Then I’ll trouble sir director. Originally we were supplying equipment to the guards, however recently problems have arisen in the northwest mines. We don’t know how, but cave rats, lizards, and other creatures began continuously rushing out. The mayor is already so busy with the blue scaled fishmen alliance and the black werewolves, I really didn’t want to disturb him. Since you’re here, I hope you’ll gather some brave warriors and eradicate all those pests so that the all the blacksmiths and miners can continue working.”

“I understand, I’ll take care of it.” Ye Cang nodded with the temperament of a leader.

“Once things are settled, I will personally create some superior equipment for all of you. Please.” The old blacksmith Wales said respectfully.

“You’re too kind.” Ye Cang felt his back was so straight! So straight, so pleasurable! Lin Le pouted enviously from the side, his right foot constantly rubbing the ground.

FrozenCloud arrived beside Ye Cang and whispered in his ear: “Team leader, ask if he can teach smithing.”

Right, smithing!

“Right. Elder Wales, can you teach smithing?” Ye Cang asked, waving his feathery robe and flinging his short white hair. ThornyRose and the others were all speechless. ‘You don’t have the looks! Although you’re face isn’t bad, you’re just a damn lowlife.’ she thought.

ThornyRose really wanted smithing, but that bastard probably wouldn’t let her be the one to learn it. Looking around, it could be any of Lele, Shaking Bear, or FrozenCloud. She wished in her heart that it would be FrozenCloud that learned it.

“I could, however this old man can only teach one student. Sir director, this old man doesn’t mean to offend, but your physique is not suited to it. This young man however has the perfect body for learning smithing. It’s the young commander.” Old Wales pointed at Zhang ZhengXiong. He arrived beside him and started pinching and squeezing all over the place, while nodding. Then he smiled with a glint in his eyes.

Zhang ZhengXiong had a bad premonition. He looked at the old blacksmith and got goosebumps all over.

ThornyRose sighed but didn’t speak.

“A’Xiong, go ahead. We’ll wait for you outside.” Ye Cang nodded, hinting Zhang ZhengXiong to go learn.

“Ok. Bro, I’m going.” Zhang ZhengXiong followed the old blacksmith into the smithy. The young blacksmith clenched his fist and smiled gratefully. “Finally, someone to share the suffering. Junior brother, good luck.”
