Standing in front of Brock, Apia was as weak as a chicken. He even doubted that even if he was fully prepared to carry out extraordinary assassination, he would not be a match for the strong man in front of him.

He is powerful, a powerful warrior, no weaker than that Brandt.

Apia thought this way, and then felt himself being put down and placed on... the blacksmith's table.

The soles of the feet are very hot, and there is the only blacksmith's bench that uses Supernatural Materials to control the flame.

"What do you want? A rapier? I heard this is your weapon."

Apia took off his hood and placed the cloak in front of Brock.

"We need rapiers, about... seventy centimeters long, thirty in total."

"You also need a hood, a really useful cloak."

Apia looked at his cloak and said, this cloak has no special function, it is similar to clothes.

"Cloaks, this is not what I'm good at."

"The cloak needs to be woven..."

Brock said, then yelled towards the inside of the room.

"Geilst!"

Soon, a young man walked out from the other side of the curtain. Apia felt the fluctuation of magic power. This was a demon Mages.

At this age among humans, he is already a demon Mages, already a genius one in a million. However, at this moment, he seems to have a depressed expression in this blacksmith shop, as if he is not being treated very well.

"You are responsible for weaving this little thing's cloak."

"I got it, Master Brock."

Geilst had no desire to refute. As a member of Frozen Earth Territory Mages who followed Grand Mage Macken, he thought he would get huge financial support and a distinguished status here. However, after repeated failures, Baron Ryan suggested that he come to the blacksmith shop and use wind magic to assist the fire control of most of the street.

Only wind magic Noble Mage would consider it. It is not magic that he mainly practices. His major is Life Magic. He is good at infinitely refining life spells. As a result, it became more and more crooked, and finally he became a weaver.

Geilst, who doesn't know what use he is, can only realize his value by obeying the orders of Ryan and find a way to pay off the high debt.

Watching Geilst leave, Brock withdrew his gaze. He knew that Baron Ryan still valued this demon Mages, but he didn't know what Ryan wanted to turn Geilst into.

Working as a blower in the blacksmith shop is just a test for Geilst.

But Brock didn't care about these things. Since it was delivered, he just used Geilst as the best blower.

Bang!

A hammer hit Iron Ore. Brock was worried and a little angry.

Recently, Lord Baron Ryan wants to build a boiler to smelt iron. Can the iron smelted like that have a soul? Can there be intensity?!

Apia didn't know what Brock was thinking, but as an assassin, he sensed the powerful mood swings of the powerful blacksmith in front of him.

Fifteen days later, Apia met Ryan on a mountain.

Standing on the top of the mountain and looking at the wheat seedlings growing on the surrounding terraces, Ryan was very satisfied.

"Yelena Mages, your results on Life Magic are amazing."

Ryan praised without hesitation, and Yelena next to him couldn't help but be a little excited. Nothing represents wealth more than the praise of a loyal lord.

Sure enough, I heard Ryan continue:

"In the next six months, I will give Yelena Mages you fifty thousand Gold Coin. I hope that next spring, I can see that more than 10% of the wheat seedlings on these terraces will not die prematurely."

Ryan is indeed in a good mood. Sure enough, the noble's vision is right. Only by using magic Mages as scientific researchers can magic be brought into full play in this world.

Is the demon Mages that flies around and can kill and destroy armies as good as the demon Mages that can increase the yield per acre by fifty percent?

Absolutely not!

The value of creation is always greater than the value of destruction. When used in scientific research, these civilian demons Mages are definitely weapons comparable to Legendary.

I couldn't help but take another look at the wheat seedlings that were still alive in the cold wind, Ryan forced myself to calm down.

He felt the arrival of Apia, so he turned his head and looked at the assassin wearing the brand new Shadow Cloak.

If Apia hadn't deliberately made noise, he might not even have felt that the other party had walked three meters behind him.

"Catfolk Assassin's extraordinary path is enviable."

Ryan thought, and then said:

"In two days Frozen Earth Territory will have a team transporting a batch of supplies to the Andara Kingdom in the east. I want you and your men to hide in it and enter Andara Kingdom."

"Don't worry, I won't pass through the fortress and you won't be discovered."

"After entering Andara Kingdom, you will lurk near the nobles on the list I gave you, write down your experiences, and then bring them back."

Apia took the note handed over by Ryan, with the names of more than a dozen nobles on it.

At this time, he finally understood why Ryan wanted them Catfolk assassins to be literate.

"Only half a month... they may not know how to do it yet."

Apia said it truthfully, in fact, even he himself can't write many words.

"It doesn't matter, you can still learn on the way, Edward will also be in the team."

Apia nodded. Edward was the teacher who taught them how to read and write in the past half month. He was also a trade officer under Baron Ryan, a very handsome young man.

Unexpectedly, the other party was recognized and trusted by Baron Ryan. He always thought that only those who did not do well in Frozen Earth Territory would be assigned to teach them these Catfolk knowledge.

"We... don't have to do anything?"

Apia asked hesitantly. In his opinion, Ryan's request was a bit too easy.

How did Count Weiss use Catfolk assassin? Let them assassinate the well-protected nobles, and let them kill the knights who embark on the extraordinary path on the battlefield regardless of the cost.

Every mission is an assassination with no life left, especially on that battlefield. As long as the sword is thrust out, no matter whether it is successful or not, the Catfolk assassin will never survive. The charge and trampling of the human soldiers can trample the exposed Catfolk assassin into a pulp.

In contrast, Ryan just wants them to hide in the dark and listen to what others say.

For the Catfolk assassin, this is not dangerous at all.

"No, I will tell you when I want you to do something."

Ryan waved his hand and asked Apia to find Edward by himself.

After half a month, Apia has become very familiar with Frozen Earth Territory. Whether he can find Edward is also a test of Catfolk's assassin's ability to find people.
