Chapter 225: Smithing shop

Eman’s destination was Mr. Klaus’s smithing shop. He had no difficulty in locating it because the address was on the card he gave him before.

Following it, they didn’t take long to find it. It was in the northern part of the city.

It wasn’t as big and beautiful as the merchant guild building, but it has a unique aura that one could expect in an establishment such as the smithing shop.

Although it wasn’t big, it wasn’t small either.

When Eman and Eina entered the shop, he already spotted a familiar face busy fiddling on something.

Hal, who was currently arranging the crammed materials, felt someone’s gaze and reflexively glanced at the door.

“L-Little brother?!” Hal screamed with slight surprise upon seeing them.

.....

He let off the materials he was carrying and rushed towards him.

With a big smile, “Ou, it’s truly you!” He said again after arriving near them.

Eman put on a bitter smile as he replied. “Good day, Brother Hal. Sorry, we are going to bother you today.”

“Such a thing. There’s no way you are a bother.”

Eman felt relieved that he still remembered him.

“I see,” he said with a slight smile.

“Oh right,” Hal suddenly pumped his fist into his palm as if remembering something. “Wait here for a second Little bro, I will be calling Mr. Klaus.”

Noticing Eman’s perplexed face, “Uh, he said when you happen to visit the shop we must tell him.”

“I see. Then, okay,” he nodded in understanding.

Perhaps, Mr. Klaus had something to say to him. He thought.

Hal hastily ran towards the other room where he believed led to the workroom.

Eman glanced around and noticed that the interior had enough space. Just enough.

The ambiance is what you would expect with a smithing shop, metals, and materials all over.

There were some people present aside from them. They were conversing with the other crews. Based on their conversation, it seemed like they were talking about some items.

For such a place, it must be a frequent occurrence. Eman thought so before shifting his gaze to the approaching familiar man.

It didn’t even take a minute when Hal left that a round man with a face covered with a mustache ambled towards them.

“Hey, Kids!” He called out before arriving in front of them.

He wanted to protest that he wasn’t a kid anymore, but Eman chose to not care about it. It wasn’t so important after all.

“Good day, Mr. Klaus.”

“G-Good day, sir!”

Eman greeted him casually. Eina followed as well but it was clear from her voice that she was a little tense. Well, she wasn’t used to greetings with other people aside from the members of their family and those she was acquainted with.

She bowed slightly.

Klaus smiled amicably. “Same to both of you,” he said. Then continued, “Good to see you here in my shop. Haha!”

“Likewise,” Eman replied with his usual calm tone.

“Come here, kids. Let’s talk about business in the next room,” Mr. Klaus suddenly urged.

The other guests looked at them and wondered who this man who seemed like an important person, based on how Klaus conversed with him.

Eman thought after entering the room. ‘It’s more like a room for private talks.’

“Hal serve him tea and honey juice for the little miss,” Mr. Klaus said to Hal.

“Yes. Right away! Excuse me for a sec, little brother,” Hal said. Eman nodded his head in response.

After a light conversation of regards with Mr. Klaus, Eman stated his reason for coming without beating around the bush.

“Farming equipment? Haha! We have lots of them here.”

“I see. That’s good because I need lots of them.” While showing a light smile, Eman mentioned it.

“Eh? Really?”

He noticed Klaus Smith stared at him suspiciously.

“Haha, it is,” Eman laughed bitterly. “I bought a piece of land in the eastern part of the empire. I’m thinking of cultivating it for extra income, Mr. Klaus.”

Although Eman said he bought a piece of land, he didn’t state to what scale. Also, it was more of a lie.

But Eman felt it would be easier to say this than explaining everything.

“Ou,” Klaus was amazed. Right. This kid, although he dressed casually, it wasn’t right to gauge him based on that. He was even giving away those expensive elixirs like it was nothing to him.

“I see. Congrats on that kid.

Now he’s certain that Eman wasn’t an ordinary young man.

Eman learned that although it was a blacksmithing shop, they were also selling different kinds of materials for daily works.

“By the way, Mr. Klaus, where can I find someone who can build water wheels?”

At first, Eman thought this world had low agricultural technology. But when he happened to pass by some villages and towns, they proved to him his initial thoughts were wrong.

In terms of technology, they were far behind compared to on earth. However, with the existence of magical artifacts, they were able to fill their lacks.

Eman was observant of his surroundings.

In truth, he could use his ability to control earth elements to prepare the land. But still, they needed to manually work after that. So, even though it was easy to handle the task of preparing the land, there were still other steps that he needed to consider.

“Fufu, waterwheel is it?”

“Yes,” he nodded.

“You don’t need to go far away searching for someone, kid. You came to the right place. As I said already, my smithing shop is responsible for random works. Building such a thing as the waterwheel is nothing to my company,” Klaus said while puffing his chest.

Eman was amazed. “I see. That’s good, then. Coming here was indeed the right choice,” He muttered. “Then, shall we talk about the materials needed for it?”

“Sure! However, it might be a little expensive even if I grant you a 25% discount. Are you sure about that?”

“No problem to me. Rather, what do you mean by 25% discounts, Mr. Klaus? Won’t you lose your profit with that?”

“Fufu, don’t mind it. It’s not a problem to me either.”

“Little bro, just accept it. Or else your conversation won’t come to an end.”

Suddenly, Hal, who just came in with some snacks in his hands, whispered to him.

He wasn’t a gullible person, but Eman could understand Mr. Klaus. He probably felt indebted at him after he saved them. So it must be his way of showing gratitude.

Eman showed a troubled smile before agreeing.

After listing all the materials needed to build the waterwheel, their conversation proceeded to the next topic.

“By the way, kid. I am actually waiting for you to visit my shop.”

“Ou, for what reason?”

“Fufu, can you come with me for a little bit?”

Looking at Mr. Klaus, he seemed to be serious.

He was curious about what he wanted. Looking at his behavior now, it seemed as though he wanted to show something.

He looked at his sister.

Eina stared at her brother while blinking her beautiful eyes.

A second later, “It’s fine bro, I will be waiting here.”

Eman rested his hand on her head and slightly patted it before he stood and followed Mr. Klaus to the back of the shop.

When he arrived there, Mr. Klaus showed him something.

“This is!”

He exclaimed. Then he muttered. “A gun?”
