Section 73 Woodcarving
Mario stopped the work in his hand, he took a few steps back and looked carefully. It seemed something was wrong, but soon he chiseled it up with the tools in his hand, and stopped until he was satisfied and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve. Mario is a member of the Mason Town Handicraft Guild. He has a wood carving shop in Mason Town. Not long ago, a noble noble gathered him and his apprentice together and ordered him to make several things in the shortest time. If he did it, the money would definitely be several times higher than usual. Listening to this generous reward, Mario thought about another thing in his mind. Although this order seemed to be profitable, Mario knew that the subtext of the nobles was that if you couldn't do it well, then get out of the town.
Of course, Mario didn't want to wander around from his hometown where he lived for generations, so he worked day and night with his most skilled apprentice in his wood carving shop, but even after being busy for a whole month, he didn't understand what he was doing?
"Master, what is this?" Mario is most proud and expected to pass the guild inspection this year and become an apprentice of a low-level technician. He said to Mario curiously, who is a skilled craftsman with the title of carpenter master in the craft guild.
"I don't know, I've never seen such a thing, but the drawings given by a nobleman are correct. We just need to do it according to the employer's requirements. Do not inquire about the others, especially the private affairs of the nobles." Mario spent almost his whole life in this business. He was very clear about the strange habits of many employers. For example, he once took over a baron's work and made the genitals of men with smooth oak. As for what he did, Mario also did very well. After careful carving, the wood seemed to be alive, but he would never inquire about it in person, and he had to keep his mouth shut, otherwise his throat would definitely be pierced by the noble's sword.
"Yes, master." After hearing Mario's words, the apprentice quickly lowered his head and continued to do his work. At this moment, they heard the door creaking. Someone pushed the door and walked into the wood carving shop. Mario raised his head curiously. He obviously hung a wooden sign that had been closed on the door.
"Who are you looking for?" Mario wiped his leather apron with his hand, walked up to look at the stranger who came in, a strong man. However, his whole body was wrapped in a cloak. The lowered hood made people unable to see his face. There was an indescribable cold feeling on the man.
"Oh, this is Master Mario's shop." The man stood at the entrance of the shop, looking at the apprentices working nervously below the steps. The wood chips on the ground were everywhere, and there were many molded wood carvings on the side, but the man couldn't take a look.
"Yes, are you here to buy something? Sorry, we haven't accepted orders for a while, but you can look at the molded wood carvings, maybe there are things you need." Mario introduced to the man, but at this time he discovered that under the hood, the man had only one eye. This was a one-eyed man with a deep scar on his other half of his face. It seemed that this was the reason why he lost his other eye. However, when a man stared at the other person with his one-eyed eye, it would only make others shudder.
"Well, which adult am I running errands for? It's the work you are doing. How is the progress?" The man walked down the steps casually and walked to the place where the apprentices worked, looking around as if he was really checking Mario.
"Oh? Did you send it from that adult?" Mario was a little confused. The last time he came to check was a young knight. Why did he change people this time? He carefully expressed his doubts.
"Oh, who lord do you think? I am his subordinate. You also know that the nobles are always busy, so unfortunately I was sent here to feed you so much. Why do you ask so much? Don't you believe me?" The one-eyed man said unhappily, and glared at Mario with one of his eyes, which scared the carpenter master who had been cautious all his life and shook his head.
"How dare I question you? Look, our work day and night is finally almost done." Mario pointed to the things leaning against the wall and covered with red dye cloth, which looked full of mystery. The one-eyed man walked forward curiously, and he stretched out his hand to grab the dye cloth.
"Please be careful, the paint on it has not been completely dried yet." Mario quickly tried to stop him, but it was too late. The one-eyed man quickly pulled the cloth on the cover. When the dyed cloth fell, what he saw was enough to make him stunned.
The face of a monster carved from a whole piece of wood was presented in front of him. Mario is worthy of being a skilled craftsman with the title of carpenter master. The monster was carved with a face similar to a human. The monster had a large mouth and exposed several sharp fangs. His face was very delicate because of his wrinkles and expressions. His cheeks and hair on his head were clearly visible, and the horns of his head were curled on the top of his head, and the monster's eyes were staring at the one-eyed man who took off the dyed cloth like agility, as if he was blaming the reckless man for disturbing his peace.
"Oh, God." Even the one-eyed man who was a desperate man was frightened when he saw the monster wood carving. He took a few steps back and threw away the dyed cloth in his hand, covered his chest, and gasped with a pale face.
"Sir, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Mario kindly stepped forward and tried to support the one-eyed man, but the man waved away Mario hurriedly left the wood carving shop, making the craftsmen and apprentices in the wood carving shop wonder.
"What happened to the master?"
"Don't ask, go to work." Mario drove all the apprentices back to his job. The one-eyed man made Mario a little uneasy. Just as everyone was about to continue working, the door rang again, which made Mario, the master carpenter, frown. Why are so many people coming to disturb his work today? He walked up the steps with his heart, but saw a young knight coming in. He recognized the nobleman who had urged him to work several times.
"Master Mario, how are our goods?" Ron asked as he walked to the steps and looked at Mario staring at him.
"Sir, why are you here in person?" Mario asked stutter.
"Didn't I always come here in person? This is something Lord Gong Xiang wants, I dare not be careless, haha." Ron laughed generously, but looking at the surprised expressions of apprentices and craftsmen in the workplace, he stopped his laughter and asked, "What? What happened?"
"A one-eyed man just said he was ordered to check the progress of his work. I thought he was your servant." Mario hurriedly said to Sir Ron.
"What? One-eyed man, have you just left?" Ron was shocked when he heard this. There was no one-eyed man among Arod's men. If it weren't Arod's people, then it must be Earl Lauziz's people. He must have found this place, so he came to spy on the information. Thinking of this, Ron pulled out his sword and rushed out of the wood carving shop. However, there was no trace of the one-eyed man on the street at this time. Ron returned to the wood carving shop in disappointment.
"Sir, has something happened?" Mario asked worriedly. He instinctively felt that he seemed to be involved in something troublesome, and he regretted greedy for generous rewards and took the order.
"It's okay, Master Mario, I will send a few knights to guard your shop. All you have to do is to complete the tasks assigned by Lord Gong Xiang as soon as possible. Do you understand?" Sir Ron said to Master Mario with a serious expression.
"I know, I know."
After settling down at the safety of the Master Mario woodcarving shop, Sir Ron immediately went to meet Arod and told him what happened today. There was no doubt that Count Lauziz must have become interested in how Arod dealt with the Bohemians. With the help of the merchant Jeff, Count Lauziz's intelligence collection work seemed to have improved a lot. At least Arod never found anyone following him like a follower.
"It's okay, even if he sees it, he won't understand the purpose of that thing." Aruod picked up the wine glass and sipped the brandy in a small mouth. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. This is the superiority of time travelers, which makes no one in this era unable to guess what his secret weapon is.
"Arod, businessman Jeff is so dangerous. Should we kill him?" Harvey stretched out his thumb and stroked his neck, knowing that he was going to kill Jeff, a businessman who betrayed Arrod.
"Well, find a good excuse, Ron, I want you to go to the Merchant Guild, I want to arrest this merchant who murdered my uncle and bring this murderer to justice." Arod turned around and handed Harvey another wine glass. He held the wine glass and said to Sir Ron. It was time for this guy who murdered members of the Wendell family to pay the price of bleeding. I'm afraid Jeff didn't know that Arod had already grasped the evidence of his killing of the former Monastery of Saint Fontso.
"Ah, good wine, this kind of wine that I have never drunk really fascinated me. Arud, I will order the blood droplets to catch the one-eyed man under Jeff first. This will be a powerful witness." Harvey said with a rosy expression, sucking the wine stronger than the red wine.
