"Master! The Viscount has introduced a customer to us!" The boy's immature voice echoed throughout the store.
After a while, another burly middle-aged man appeared inside, also holding a heavy-looking Iron Hammer in his hand. He looked a little unkempt. After he came out, his eyes locked on the Mode standing in front, and he strode forward.
He stared at Mode and asked, "Are you introduced by the Viscount?"
Seeing the aggressive man in front of him, Mode couldn't help but weaken a little, and said weakly, "Claire introduced me here..."
Hearing the name Claire, the blacksmith's eyes lit up, and then a look of excitement appeared on his face, and he said, "That's right!"
Seeing the blacksmith's expression, Mode also had some guesses in his mind, and asked tentatively, "Claire said that you can get a discount if you come here and report his name. Is it true?"
"Huh?!" The blacksmith said seriously with a straight face, "Discount? What are you talking about!"
Then he waved his hand, pointed at the armors and weapons displayed on the wall and said generously, "These things! You can choose whatever you like! No money!"
Mode looked back at Ellie behind him in surprise, licked his lips and was about to say something, but was interrupted by the blacksmith.
"You guys watch first, I'll go out for a while!" The blacksmith carried Iron Hammer and walked quickly towards the door, with excitement on his face.
After a while, Mode and the others in the house heard the familiar roar of the blacksmith, "Old Tom across the street! Come out and see! I just said that my forging skills are better than yours! You are so stubborn!"
"Now look! The Viscount introduced me a customer! From now on, I will put a mark on my shop: "The blacksmith shop recommended by the Viscount!" ", Hahahahaha!"
The wild laughter from behind resounded throughout Blacksmith Street, attracting the attention of tourists and adventurers here.
After a while, an old man with the same Iron Hammer appeared on the opposite side. Seeing his competitor across from him looking so proud, he was very angry. He gritted his teeth and said, "You can be proud! With the quality of your product, you still have the nerve to put that mark on it? Don't embarrass the Viscount."
The brawny blacksmith didn't care and replied directly, "Hahahahahaha! You just can't eat the grapes and say the grapes are sour!"
Half an hour later, Mode, each holding a set of high-quality armors and weapons in their hands, stood at the intersection of Blacksmith Street.
No matter how Mode explained it, Claire had only said to give them armor, but the strong blacksmith still gave them weapons and some small accessories. The smile on his face didn't feel like he was losing money at all, but he was very enthusiastic and wished he could give them more things.
Mode was walking on the way to the Adventurer's Guild with a pile of equipment that was almost as tall as himself on his head. He turned around and asked, "So, is Claire the city lord of Nafu City?"
Ellie also had a look of disbelief in his eyes, "From what they said, it seems like this is what happened."
Little Pangdun walked at the end of the team, bumped the two shields on his arms together to test the hardness and quality, and then added, "They followed us all the way here."
Ellie patted his chest with palpitations, "Fortunately, I didn't say anything bad about him at the time. I remember saying a lot of good things about him."
"Okay, don't think about this. Let's go to the Adventurer's Guild first. We will repay him when we become stronger." Mode's eyes were full of motivation.
"Okay!!!"
A few days after Claire returned to the Baronial Manor, I lived very comfortably in the Baronial Manor. There were not so many calculations in Wizard World, and I no longer had the passive feeling when being used as a knife in the capital. I was still comfortable in my own territory.
"Dong dong!" After knocking on the door, Regan walked in.
Shane did not report that Claire was missing, so when Regan saw Claire come back, his expression was the same as usual, but Claire felt a little different.
"What's wrong Regan?" Claire put down the spell book of Spatial Magic in his hand. After reaching the Archmage stage, he can start to use some advanced spells involving space.
"Master, people from the Adventurer's Guild are here to find you."
"Huh?" Claire stood up with an interesting smile and said with a smile, "Let's go and have a look."
"Viscount Claire Gui'an!"
As soon as Claire walked into the living room, a shrewd man who looked to be in his thirties stood up and bowed deeply to Claire.
A strange look flashed in Claire's eyes, and he waved his hand, "You don't have to be so polite, please sit down."
"You're welcome, not at all!" The other party raised his head, still looking respectful.
Claire sat on the main seat and asked, "What do you call it?"
"Just call me York. I am the person in charge of the Adventurer's Guild in Nafu City. I hope to cooperate well with Lord Claire in the future."
Claire was a little bit elusive about his thoughts. For Claire, the other party was a bit too enthusiastic, as if he was trying to be attentive for nothing, but Claire felt that the other party's tone was so sincere, so it was a bit unpredictable.
York pushed the paper on the table in front of Claire and said softly, "This is the contract between us Adventurer's Guild and you, please take a look."
"This is the best contract I could ever ask for from headquarters," York added.
Claire pursed his lips, reached out and picked up the paper on the table and looked through it. It was indeed as the other party said, the conditions above can be said to be very good, and there is no place to dig holes.
The contracts above are all about the profit distribution between the Adventurer's Guild and the local city managers, that is, the monsters hunted by adventurers or the magic materials collected, as the city where Adventurer's Guild is located, is entitled to a certain share of profits.
Otherwise, why would there be so many city lords desperately trying to establish Adventurer's Guild in their own cities? Then wouldn't they want to get a share of the pie? Making huge profits while lying down without doing anything is what every city lord dreams of.
After reading the contents of the contract, Claire was still puzzled. He raised the contract in his hand and waved it in front of his face. He squinted and stared at York in front of him for several seconds before he said, "Are you from Joseph?"
York couldn't react, "Huh? Which adult are you talking about?"
Seeing that the other party's reaction didn't look like he was lying, Claire pursed his lips again, "No one, then who sent you here?"
"Headquarters." York was also a little confused, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay." Claire shook his head, took out a pen and signed his name on the contract, then handed it back to the other party, "Okay, is there anything else?"
"No more! No need to bother you." York stood up, bowed to Claire again, and then left.
After the whole process, Claire was confused and didn't know what the other party's purpose was.
Outside the Baronial Manor, York, who had just walked out, took the contracts and looked through them. Finally, he stopped at the signature of Claire, and his face was full of excitement when he looked at the signature.
"Oh, I was a little timid just now. Next time, if I have a chance, I'll ask the Viscount for an autograph!"
Just thinking like this, York jumped all the way back to the Adventurer's Guild in a happy mood.
Because of the previous conflict between Claire and the church, Joseph knew that Claire didn't like anyone interfering in Nafu City's affairs at all, so Joseph did not send anyone related to him to Nafu City. Not only that, he also specially selected a person with a clear identity and background and the ability to work, that is, York sent him.
And York is too clear-cut and doesn't like to join forces with those people, so he has nothing to do with various forces. So after learning that he was sent to Nafu City and getting to know Claire a little bit, he suddenly became a fan of Claire.
