Chapter 22 (2/2)

“Uncle, do you know if there are bandits in this town?”

“B-bandits? I’m not sure I’ve never heard that”

Using two negative statements at the same time

“This is not an inquiry; this is a threat Do you want businessmen to still come here? If you talk like that than maybe the protection fee won’t be able to be collected”

The man’s movements stopped in place

“If you do talk, then I won’t haggle over these few vegetables And if ive you all of the fee”

Obviously this was very persuasive But there was still so that made him clam up

I’ve already played ht now, it was time to watch his reaction

He hemmed for a moment, and shook his head At this moment, the side door of the shop creaked open and a sickly yellow and emaciated little boy came out He shyly looked at me

“We don’t have money……kill me Please don’t hurt my dad……”

He spoke cautiously

“Idiot! Don’t talk nonsense!”

It was already too late

I examined the ht to the ceiling, hesitated for a moment and then said:

“I still can’t do it But, you can go and find Bone of the blacksmith store He will probably tell you”

I nodded This was his limit

“Got it I will not speak of what happened today I will also give you these vegetables for free”

“How could……”

I left the vegetable shop without looking back

When I went to the blacksmith store, I took out the wolf pelts

The man called Bone was a seventy-year-old oldHe wasn’t much taller than Little Elan He had a stooped body and his skin was stretched tight over his bones The man was like his name, thin and bony, but his two eyes were full of life His voice was also quite high All in all, a lively old person

Based ona sword at first glance I didn’t think that I would look for half a day and not find one The majority were kitchen knives, hoes and other household ical beasts

Evidently, his skill was extre was up

In the future, I would ask him for an explanation

“Hey! Youngster, come in With my throat, people on the outside can’t hear very well?”

“Are you alright?”

The old man turned his head to look at me:

“I’ht that can’t be seen in this town”

Hearing his words, I thought of the dialogue in the bible for no reason

——What is the kingdom of God like?

——It’s like a mustard seed

——It will grow into a big tree

“Say, Uncle, if you’re free afterwards can you teach ?”

He rapped the cane in his hand on the ground
