Chapter 249
Since we are going to visit Mina's parents in Silver Moon Forest, we naturally have to buy some gifts.
The next day, Cheng Yu and Mina came to Cuisi City, south of Dark Night City, to buy gifts for Mina's parents and to meet the bishop of the Bright Church branch in Cuisi City.
"Mina, what gifts do your parents like?"
On the street, Cheng Yu looked at Mina, who was holding his arm and smiling.
Mina tilted her head and thought for a while, "My father is good at digging holes. He is a famous digger in the tribe. If you give him an iron hoe or shovel, he will be very happy."
So that's it~
Cheng Yu finally understood why Mina liked digging holes so much. It turned out that she inherited her father's genes.
However, Cheng Yu was a little confused, "Why do you say it's made of iron? Aren't hoes and shovels made of iron?"
"The Silver Wolf Tribe is not like humans. They don't have advanced smelting technology. Many tools are made of stone, such as stone axes, stone hammers, and stone hoes. Stone is not as hard as iron products. Having an iron hoe or shovel will make work much more convenient."
After hearing what Mina said, Cheng Yu felt that the Silver Wolf Tribe was a bit like a primitive tribe.
Buying a hoe as a gift for the father-in-law is too low-class.
Cheng Yu smiled bitterly, "Are you sure it's enough to buy a hoe or shovel?"
"Sure, my father will be very happy to receive an iron hoe or shovel."
"What about your mother?"
Cheng Yu asked about Mina's mother's hobbies.
"My mother is good at hunting with bows and arrows. You can buy her bows and arrows as gifts."
Hoes, shovels, bows and arrows.
They are all very practical things in daily life.
Cheng Yu remembered that his mother-in-law liked gold and silver jewelry. "Does your mother like gold and silver jewelry? Do you want to buy some more?"
"No, the Silver Wolf Tribe is not interested in impractical things."
"Okay~"
After crossing several streets, Cheng Yu and Mina came to a blacksmith shop in Cuisi City.
In the blacksmith shop, the fire was burning brightly, and the bare-chested blacksmith was forging iron with a hammer, sweating all over. The temperature here was several degrees higher than the street outside.
The blacksmith saw Cheng Yu, dressed in luxurious clothes, walk into the shop with a beautiful girl with animal ears. He knew that Cheng Yu was a rich man. He stopped forging iron and greeted him enthusiastically, "My noble lord, what do you want? I can make pots and pans, swords and other weapons here."
"I want to make a hoe, a shovel, and a bow, using the best materials and the best craftsmanship."
Wipe off the sweat and dust on his body, the blacksmith walked into the blacksmith shop and took out a fist-sized piece of black and gold ore with pits on the surface.
"I have the best red flame gold iron ore here. It is extremely strong, rust-proof and corrosion-resistant. It is an ideal material for making high-level magic equipment. 1 gold coin per pound, what do you think?"
Ordinary iron ore is only one or two copper coins per pound. The price of this ore is ridiculously high.
Cheng Yu took the red flame gold iron ore and weighed it in his hand. It was much heavier than ordinary iron. It felt warm and felt good.
"Use this."
"Is the long handle of the hoe and shovel also made of this material? Hollow or solid?"
"All of them are made of this material, solid."
When buying gifts for parents-in-law, you must pursue quality.
The blacksmith estimated in his mind, "Three things, it is estimated that 300 kilograms of red flame gold iron ore will be used, plus my labor fee. You pay a deposit of 200 gold coins first, and then pay the extra money after it is made."
"300 kilograms? So much?"
"Red flame gold iron ore of the same size is three times heavier than ordinary iron, so it consumes more."
The last time he searched for the sunken ship on the seabed, Cheng Yu got more than 600,000 gold coins. With the original more than 100,000 gold coins, he now has a total of more than 700,000 gold coins.
More than 700,000 gold coins converted into RMB on Earth are roughly equivalent to more than 7 billion RMB. Although he is not a top tycoon, he is also a small local tyrant.
He paid the blacksmith a deposit of 200 gold coins and signed a contract with him, one for each party, and agreed to come to the blacksmith shop to pick it up in five days.
"Let's go buy some new clothes. I have a lot of relatives, so I'll give each of them a piece of clothing."
The Silver Wolf Clan has similar habits to wolves, and they are all social animals. Mina has many aunts and uncles, so she brought some clothes as gifts for her relatives.
Cheng Yu and Mina left the blacksmith shop and went to the Cuisi City Clothing Store to buy dozens of high-end wool coats, spending more than 200 gold coins.
After preparing the gifts to go back to her mother's house, the two walked towards the center of Cuisi City.
The center of Cuisi City is a square with an area equivalent to five or six football fields. In the center of the square stands a white jade statue. The woman's skirt is flying, her figure is elegant, and her appearance is beautiful, like a fairy descending to the earth. Her appearance is vaguely similar to Cheng Yu.
Seeing the statue of the Holy Lady of Light, Mina couldn't help laughing, "Cheng Yu, look, the Holy Lady of Light."
"Damn it~"
Cheng Yu regretted that he shouldn't have agreed to be the Holy Lady of Light in the first place.
The direction facing the statue of the Holy Lady of Light was the Church of Light, and the two walked into the Church of Light.
In the church hall, a middle-aged man in white priest clothes, holding a scripture in his hand, muttered something, and led dozens of believers in prayer.
"Bishop Fars, long time no see."
Cheng Yu walked towards the middle-aged man.
"Who are you?"
Fars, who was praying, stopped and looked at Cheng Yu. He had some impression of Cheng Yu, but couldn't remember where he had seen him.
"Last time, I used the magic circle in the basement of your church to communicate with your archbishop. Do you remember?"
After Cheng Yu's reminder, Fars remembered that the person in front of him was a friend of the archbishop. Last time, he used the magic circle in the basement to communicate with the archbishop and asked if there was a god called Siren among the ancient gods.
The Archbishop has absolute authority in the Church of Light.
You have to be polite to the Archbishop's friends.
Holding the scriptures in his arms, Fars asked with a smile, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"I want to use the magic circle in your church basement again and meet the Archbishop."
"Okay, no problem."
Fars found other priests to pray on his behalf, and then took Cheng Yu to the church basement.
Open the iron door and light the candles.
The dark church basement became bright, and the ground was painted with dense magic array patterns. This is a magic circle that facilitates the communication between the bishops of the branches of the Church of Light in major cities across the country and the Archbishop.
Fars held a magic wand, stood on the magic circle, and activated the magic circle on the ground.
After a while, a white robe, a ceremonial crown, a scepter in hand, and a hunched old man appeared in the magic circle.
An old voice sounded, "Farsi, what do you want to see me for?"
"Archbishop, this young man wants to see you."
Farsi pointed to Cheng Yu outside the formation.
Cheng Yu had met Dominic, the Archbishop of the Church of Light, once. He raised his hand and greeted Dominic, "Archbishop, hello."
Dominic recognized Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu was not only the Holy Lady of Light, but also killed the murderer of his daughter.
Dominic had a good impression of Cheng Yu.
"So you are the Holy Lady of Light..."
Dominic stopped talking halfway.
Only a very small number of high-ranking officials of the Church of Light knew that Cheng Yu was the Holy Lady of Light. 99.99% of people in the country thought that the Holy Lady of Light was a beautiful woman. Farsi was here, so it was inconvenient to say.
"Long time no see."
Dominic greeted casually.
