Ye Feng’s Blacksmith Shop did not even have an official name, but its reputation in the City of Chaos was getting bigger.
On this day, after Claude returned from delivering some goods, Ye Feng was at the forging furnace as usual, teaching him the difference between forging peak stage one and two weapons.
After the lesson, the manager of City of Chaos’ Auction House knocked on the Blacksmith Shop’s door, bringing over a contract with a respectful expression.
“Master Ye Feng, this is your personal contract, after signing it, the weapons that you make will be fully authorized to be sold by us.”
“The Auction House will collect higher stage forging materials of the same value and send them to your Blacksmith Shop, in addition, we will ensure your safety in the City of Chaos…”
Ye Feng sighed the contract.
He had already earned a lot of gold coins, they could barely be stored in the warehouse anymore.
When the Auction House wanted to handle the sale of Ye Feng’s weapons, he was moved and decided to sign this contract with them that had mutual benefits.
After the manager left, Ye Feng brought the boxes of gold coins and bought a new forging furnace for Claude’s personal use.
On the way, the citizens of the City of Chaos showed expressions of admiration and idolization when they saw the Master Blacksmith Ye Feng.
The City of Chaos was connected to dangerous places like the Land of Spirits, it had many adventurers and mercenaries, they were definitely respectful towards a Master Blacksmith who had the ability to create high quality weapons.
A good weapon could raise one’s combat strength in the wild, at crucial moments, it might save one’s life!
After all, nobody would want their weapon to break in the middle of combat.
“Master Ye Feng, do you need help with such a huge forging furnace? If necessary, I can escort you back to the Blacksmith Shop.”
Along the way, there were many helpful people that said such words but Ye Feng rejected them all, he rode on the horse carriage and went back to the Blacksmith Shop while dragging the forging furnace.
The truth was…
With his strength as a Bronze Knight, this mere forging furnace could be carried on Ye Feng’s shoulder without problems.
But that was simply asking for attention.
Before the Blacksmith Shop.
Before he got closer, Ye Feng sensed something amiss, there were many twisted shadows moving around his Blacksmith Shop.
Ye Feng had seen these figures before.
The Heavenly Snake tribe in the City of Chaos!
Earlier, Ye Feng was obstructed by two Advanced Knight level Heavenly Snake tribesmen, they tried to rob him but were killed instead.
“You are Ye Feng?”
“The guy who killed the two warriors of our Heavenly Snake tribe and returned to the City of Chaos as a Master Blacksmith?”
“Come with us! Our Heavenly Snake tribe lacks a Blacksmith, you will atone for your sins of killing our Heavenly Snake tribesmen by making weapons for us.”
From the Blacksmith Shop, a Heavenly Snake tribesman walked out, he had blue hair and wore armor, his eyes were eerie green and there were scales on his face. When he spoke, his expression was terrifying.
This was a peak Advanced Knight!
In addition, there were three other Advanced Knights before the Blacksmith Shop, they were all upper-tier, none of them were weak.
At this time, the four Heavenly Snake tribe Advanced Knights moved to encircle Ye Feng, they seemed to have the intention of taking him away like a criminal.
“It sounds like you are not inviting me to forge weapons, instead, you want to capture me and keep me in your Heavenly Snake tribe as your blacksmith slave.”
“Am I right to say that?”
Ye Feng asked plainly.
Towards his question, the four Advanced Knights revealed sinister smiles, they had a mocking expression.
“Hehe!”
“Exactly so.”
“But you are a Master Blacksmith after all, we will give you your three meals a day, other than sleeping, you will spend all your time making weapons to atone for your sins…”
While saying that, the four Heavenly Snake tribesmen attacked.
From the Blacksmith Shop, the tiny Claude ran out, he was like an enraged bull, he wore an iron pot on his head as he rammed into the four Advanced Knights.
“Don’t touch my teacher!”
Claude screamed loudly.
He was clearly small and weak, but when seeing Ye Feng in danger, Claude still charged out and tried to attract the attention of the Heavenly Snake tribesmen so that Ye Feng could have a chance of escaping.
In Claude’s perspective, he had never seen Ye Feng display any powerful strength, he was clearly not the match of these four Advanced Knights.
Claude was sent flying, his face was covered in blood.
“Where did this clown come from?”
“Hahaha!”
The four Heavenly Snake tribesmen laughed.
But Ye Feng was angry now.
“You came here to provoke me and even injured my staff? Who gave you the courage to do so! I have just signed a contract with the Auction House, they will be selling all of the weapons I make, if you are daring enough, you can go snatch their business instead.”
Saying so, Ye Feng lifted his leg and did a roundhouse kick.
These four Advanced Knight Heavenly Snake tribesmen cried out in pain, they felt like a powerful force had rammed into them, they were sent flying for several meters.
In fact, the sound of their bones cracking could be heard!
The strength of a Bronze Knight was not for show.
If not for the fact that he was inside the City of Chaos and could not kill people in front of the Blacksmith Shop, these four Heavenly Snake tribe’s Advanced Knights would likely die here today.
“Scram!”
Ye Feng shouted coldly.
Instantly, these Advanced Knights of the Heavenly Snake tribe endured their injuries and ran away with pale expressions.
They reported this to a higher-up of the Heavenly Snake tribe, an elder with a fierce expression whose body resembled a coiled up snake.
This Heavenly Snake tribe elder was furious.
“He is just a tiny Blacksmith, he dared to refuse our invitation and even used the Auction House to threaten us?”
The elder was enraged but he felt wary towards the Auction House, in the end, he gritted his teeth and did not dare to head to the Blacksmith Shop anymore.
But his hatred for Ye Feng grew deeper.
“He killed two of our tribesmen and even insulted the glory of our Heavenly Snake tribe, we cannot let him off like this.”
The elder said that as he changed the topic.
“I heard that Ye Feng has an errand boy? Kidnap him and bring him here, let’s see if Ye Feng gives in or not.”
The Heavenly Snake tribe moved quickly.
Soon, several Advanced Knights brought their groups comprising upper-tier Intermediate Knights as they assaulted Claude on one of the routes to the Blacksmith Shop.
“We got him!”
“Let’s bring this kid away.”
A Heavenly Snake tribesman snickered and said.
In his hand, Claude struggled intensely.
But at this moment.
A figure appeared, it was the manager of the Auction House who had signed the contract with Ye Feng, the people from the Auction House were behind him, they were escorting a batch of materials and heading to the Blacksmith Shop, while coincidentally seeing this scene.
His expression was livid as he said a word.
“Kill!”
Behind him, the guards moved with lightning speed.
With the Heavenly Snake tribe’s intention to capture Ye Feng as their slave, in the Land of Chaos, many tribes like the Vast Eagle tribe or the beast tribes with savage natures were also waiting to make a move.
They were all after Ye Feng, the reason was that he represented a vast amount of wealth!
