“You need white steel ingots?”

Cyril didn’t expect that Fang Hao, with his background and wealth, would be lacking such a thing as white steel ingots.

“Yeah, a blueprint for forging white steel ingots would be even better. I’m willing to pay for it.”

The blueprint for the white steel blunderbuss had already been collected.

Only the white steel ingots were missing. If they could receive the blueprint for forging white steel ingots or even just the finished white steel ingots, it would be fine.

First, produce a batch of white steel blunderbusses to deal with the imminent potential battles.

Cyril rubbed his beard, falling into silence.

A thought sprung up in Fang Hao’s mind, seeming like Cyril actually had white steel ingots.

“What’s the matter, Lord City, is there a problem?” asked Fang Hao.

Cyril, looking a bit troubled, answered, “We do have some white steel ingots stored in the city, but they are already in the military repository. It might be difficult to sell to you.”

Lord City must have a way around this, wouldn’t you share it?”

If he really couldn’t give it to Fang Hao, he would’ve refused outright. Judging from his troubled look, there must be a way.

“I can’t sell it to you, how about this. I’ll issue a bounty. If you bring me the murderer, I will pay you the white steel ingots as a reward.” Cyril’s eyes suddenly narrowed, his voice bearing a solemn tone.

“A murderer?”

Fang Hao naturally understood Cyril’s plan.

It was nothing more than using the white steel ingots as a bargaining chip to make him deal with the so-called murderer.

His visit today was probably about this matter, but he just mentioned the white steel ingots in advance.

“The murderer who killed the mercenary in the tavern last night. If you bring them to me, the f₅oo units of white steel ingots stored in our warehouse are yours. How about it?” Cyril smiled, wrinkles piled up at the corners of his eyes. “Murdered the mercenary?” Fang Hao exclaimed.

“Yes.”

“Didn’t you say there were no clues?”

“No, there are clues. The other group of mercenaries in the manor outside the city. I intend to execute them publicly when the time comes to maintain the city’s stability.” Cyril replied.

It seemed that the mercenaries of the manor outside the city had offended this city lord in the past, so this unsolved case without clues was directly pinned on them.

If the events of last night weren’t done by Fang Hao himself, he might have believed Cyril’s words.

After all, confronted by a City Lord and a group of mercenaries, more people would believe the City Lord.

“The name of the mercenary, the location of the manor, what is the military situation like?” Fang Hao decided to take on this task.

“Fire Wolf Mercenary Group, this is the manor’s location, they only have a few dozen soldiers.” Cyril handed over a single-page map that had already been prepared on the table.

Accepting the map, Fang Hao memorized the name of the Fire Wolf Mercenary Group.? ^y

“Alright, I took up this task. How many people do you need? I can’t bring back all of the dozens of people, can I?” Fang Hao pocketed the map casually.

“A few leaders, the more the better, it would be more acceptable to the public.” Cyril was still stroking his beard.

“Okay, I’ll try to bring back as many as I can.” Fang Hao stood up, “I’ll go and prepare then, and won’t disturb Lord City any further.”

“Yes.”

Fang Hao left the City Lord’s Mansion, returning to his own shop. The shop was still hanging their sign, on it was written the shop’s name ‘Fishy Delights’ in the Human Clan’s language.

A straight forward, appealing name.

Fang Hao took pride in this name which took sleepless nights and endless thought to devise, even resorting almost to calling up his language teacher.

As Fang Hao admired the sign, the tavern matron approached.

She handed five gold coins to Fang Hao, “I’ll return the money first, when the tavern reopens, you can place your bounty again.”

With the tavern sealed, the bounties on the tavern’s notice board weren’t effective anymore.

One was the bounty of mercenaries, all of whom died on the second floor last night, the other was Fang Hao’s bounty for finding the Swords of Absolution, a total of five gold coins.

Fang Hao pocketed the gold coins, pretending to be oblivious and asked,”I heard someone died?”

“Damn it, those goddamn mercenaries, they brought such misfortune upon me by dying in my tavern.” The matron cursed through gritted teeth.

The sudden outburst surprised Fang Hao.

It seemed this incident brought a significant impact on the tavern.

Not only was it sealed, but for a long time, it was likely no one would dare to stay in the rooms on the second floor.

“How many days is the tavern sealed for?”

“I don’t know, until they catch the murderer.” The matron sighed.

“Would you like to assist me? I’m short on manpower.” Fang Hao offered.

The matron’s eyes flickered, she giggled, “Little rogue, I see what you’re aiming for, you’re still young, be careful not to hurt yourself.”

Anyway, your tavern is closed, why not help me out?”

“My tavern is only closed for a couple of days, it’s not like it’s shutdown.” The matron corrected.

“Alright, come help me when you go bankrupt.”

The matron was annoyed, why should she go bankrupt?

Fang Hao, with a smile on his face, approached and inquired in a low voice,

Ever heard of the Fire Wolf Mercenary Group?”

“Hm? You know someone from the Fire Wolf Mercenary Group?” The matron unintentionally asked.

I ve heard some things about them, aren’t they unpopular in Pruell?”

“You know about that?” The matron exclaimed in surprise.

Few citizens m the city knew about this information. Yet, Fang Hao, who had just arrived a few times, was aware of it.

Those guys, they caused such a big trouble and the city lord didn’t even kill them.” Fang Hao sighed.

“Yeah, the city lord had a late-life baby, and it’s probably hard for him to have another one.” The matron made a decisive diagnosis.

Fang Hao’s gaze shifted, “The city lord’s son should be getting better by now right?”? ’

‘Not at all, we haven’t seen him for many years, I suspect it’s not going well.” The two chatted softly while watching as the shop’s sign was hung up. Through the matron’s words, Fang Hao could guess a few things.

For some reason, the Fire Wolf Mercenary Group had injured the city lord’s son several years ago and the injury had been worsening. He probably wouldn’t live much longer.

For some reason, the city lord had, up until now, not made a move against the mercenary group.

This time they seem to have seized an opportunity, pinning the city’s murder

case on the Fire Wolf Mercenary Group.

After chatting for a while, the soldiers came to search the tavern again, and the matron left.

Fang Hao and Anjia mounted the giant lizard again, returning to their territory.

They quickly returned to their territory.

Fang Hao dismounted and started checking the soldiers he would bring.

The manor where the Fire Wolf Mercenary Group was located was already shown on Fang Hao’s large map. Seeing that they only have a few dozen men.

There was no need to bring too many soldiers and draw attention.

The heroes were Anjia, the Blood Hunter, a hundred bone dragons and five-tier skeleton trolls filled to seating capacity.

The Black Thorn had city defense skills and was just right for minding the fort.

In high-altitude flight, they wouldn’t draw the attention of people on the ground, plus they were fast and could finish the fight before the night fell.

Fang Hao uses God’s Presence to mount the bone dragon.

Patting the dragon’s neck twice, the bone dragon soared into the clouds, flying towards the manor of the Fire Wolf Mercenary Group.
