[ Extraterrestrial meteorites detected. Rare quality. The best material to forge weapons! ]

[ Mission: Collect extraterrestrial meteorites. ]

“Iron shop? Extraterrestrial meteorites?”

Lorne murmured and glanced at the iron shop before walking in. Then, Lorne locked his eyes on a pile of messy iron stones in the shop. There was an inconspicuous black iron stone with potholes on its surface, which was thrown everywhere. It seemed to have been treated as a waste by its owner.

“Kid, who are you? Can’t you see that my young master is in the middle of something?” A handyman shouted at Lorne.

Lorne did not respond. He walked to the pile of junk and pointed at a pile of ores.

“Shopkeeper, I want all of these ores. How much are they?”

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man kneeling at the feet of the young man. At this moment, he was trembling and did not dare to speak.

“Big Brother, my father said that the pile of ore is all waste. It’s not worth much.” A seven or eight-year-old girl said softly.

Lorne looked at the girl. The girl’s big eyes were pure and innocent.

“Oh, but I want to buy this pile of useless stones.”

The girl did not understand but she still said, “If Big Brother wants it, then I’ll give it to Big Brother.”

Lorne looked at the innocent little girl in front of him and smiled. He walked up and patted her head.

“What’s your name?”

“Big Brother, my name is Nan Nan.”

“Nan Nan, I won’t take your things for free. I can help you fulfill a wish. What do you want?”

The little girl looked at Lorne with her clear eyes and then at her father. She did not speak as if she was afraid of getting Lorne into trouble.

Lorne understood. This world was cruel. If the people at the bottom could not become spirit envoys, they would be bullied by the people at the top for the rest of their lives.

Spirit envoys were also divided into the strong and the weak. Some strong ones preyed on the weak.

Originally, Lorne was not going to meddle in other people’s business, but he had taken someone else’s iron ore, and it was the extraterrestrial meteorite that he needed. So, what if he had meddled into other people’s business?

After he figured it out, his mind was clear. Lorne turned to look at the shopkeeper and said, “No matter what grudges you had in the past, I’ll protect this shop now.”

The young man frowned slightly. When he saw Lorne wearing the academy’s uniform, he could not figure out Lorne’s background.

It would be fine if he was an ordinary person, but it would be different if he was a spirit envoy who had successfully awakened. Spirit envoys were rare and every spirit envoy was protected by the city-state government. Even if the young man had an extraordinary identity, he could not act recklessly.

Moreover, fighting was prohibited in the inner city. Of course, the prohibition was only limited to people above spirit envoys. There were no rules for ordinary people. It would not be a problem for any youth to bully peddlers, not to mention that his family was there.

Previously, his servant had shouted at Lorne because he was just testing him. Now that he detected Lorne’s aura, it did not seem to be ordinary. He was definitely a spirit envoy with a noble identity and his background was probably not to be messed with either.

In an instant, the young man who had a tyrannical expression just a moment ago, immediately became calm. He laughed and said, “May I know your name, friend? I’m Jiang Qing. My father is the city’s Eastern Commandant.”

The city’s Eastern Commandant seemed to be surnamed Jiang. Lorne did not know his exact name. This person’s background was indeed not ordinary. No wonder he was incomparably arrogant in the city.

The city’s Eastern Commandant’s official position was roughly equal to the power of his previous world’s City Public Security Bureau Chief.

The first person to awaken in the classroom today was Li Chong, the son of the city’s Southern Commandant. His family’s power was not ordinary and he was only second to the city lord.

Lorne remained calm. So what if the young man was the son of the commandant? Lorne had already become a spirit envoy and the identity of his elf had probably been spread to the ears of the various major factions.

Right now, Lorne had no sect or faction. In the world of spirit envoys, the various major factions were complicated. To the other factions, he was now a popular person, and ordinary people would not offend him.

Of course, Lorne could not just shoot his mouth off. Seeing that the young man had changed his attitude, Lorne also introduced himself.

Jiang Qing seemed to understand that Lorne was going to meddle in this matter. He weighed it in his heart and came up with an idea.

He smiled and said, “So it’s Brother Lorne. It’s like a flood has washed over the Dragon King Temple. Strictly speaking, we’re still senior and junior brothers.”

As long as they were spirit envoys from city-states, they were basically graduates of the Spirit Academy. What he said was also true.

Then, he said again, “Since junior brother is interested in this shop, then I’ll be magnanimous and let them go. I won’t be staying for long. Goodbye.”

After saying that, the young man turned around and left, followed closely by the servant beside him.

Lorne, who was behind him, watched his back as he left and thought to himself, ‘Jiang Qing isn’t simple. His thoughts are capricious. If I encounter him in the future, I must be careful.’

Jiang Qing’s father was a commandant and he was also a spirit envoy. Jiang Qing did not have to back down, but he still chose to leave calmly. He was not a good person as a good person would not bully the weak. He was the type of person who would devour others and not spit out their bones.

[ Mission completed. Reward: 200 experience points, cloud treading movement: 1.]

Lorne immediately learned the movement technique and was enlightened.

“Lord Spirit Envoy, I cannot repay your great kindness. Please accept my bow!”

The middle-aged man stood up and bowed to Lorne to express his gratitude. Lorne waved his hand and did not care. He said softly, “There’s no need to thank me. You’ve already paid me.”

As he spoke, he looked at the pile of abandoned ores in the corner and said, “Wrap that pile of ores for me.”

The middle-aged man did not know that the pile of ores contained rare extraterrestrial meteorites. He only thought that Lorne did not want him to owe him a favor. By the way, how could an ordinary person like him repay him?

Instead, it was the little girl, Nan Nan, who said, “Big Brother, are you a spirit envoy from the Spirit Academy? I’m going to study there next year.”

Looking at the cute little girl, Lorne smiled and said, “Is that so? You have to work hard on that, little girl. It’s very hard to awaken.”

After obtaining the extraterrestrial meteorite, Lorne was prepared to go to the city’s famous blacksmith to make the sword he wanted.

At that moment, the middle-aged man suddenly said, “Lord Spirit Envoy, you’re preparing to forge a weapon, right?”

Lorne glanced at the man and nodded slightly.

The middle-aged man lowered his head and continued. “I didn’t expect you to be so knowledgeable despite your young age. I deliberately threw this meteorite into the waste rock so as not to attract the attention of others.”

Lorne did not expect him to know about it long ago. He also knew that it was an extraterrestrial meteorite. However, it was a disaster for an ordinary person to obtain such a treasure. This man understood it very well.

“Three generations of blacksmiths were born in my family. I’m afraid that ordinary blacksmiths wouldn’t be able to melt this meteorite. If you trust me, I’m willing to devote all my efforts to forge it for you!”

After saying this, the middle-aged man looked at Lorne with an indescribable gaze as if he was extremely eager to forge this meteorite..
