rously.
“These materials are just old orders, and there is no real gold in them— Ouch!”

At that moment, something suddenly swooped down from the air.
A broad-billed crow snatched the cloth bag that was dangling in the old man’s hand and quickly flew into the trees.

Oliver reacted faster.
He picked up a stone from the ground and hit the wide-mouthed thief almost in the next second.
The broad-billed crow let out an angry caw and dropped the bag causing parchment in the bag to instantly scatter everywhere.

“The Tristan’s?” Oliver picked up the parchment on the ground— The fat old man didn’t lie, it did have a beautiful design drawing on it, and customer information was attached to the picture.
Recognizing the famous mark, Oliver raised his eyebrows.

The Tristan Family, jewelers, were a wealthy family.
Most of the jewelry of the Alban royal family came from the craftsman in the Tristan family, thus there were many customers who they couldn’t afford to offend.
No wonder the old man wanted to bring this pile of things out of the city.

“I’m just a shop steward!” the fat old man shouted hurriedly, covering the horse like a deflated water bag.

“Praise Zenni, I’m not from Master Tristan’s family.
This is just a worthless piece of information.
The oldest one, I just missed it.
Believe me, it won’t even fetch a few coins, but if it’s lost, my job will be… You, no, please…”

He was so nervous that he almost said something unfavorable.

“You are the best jewelers.” Oliver’s thoughts drifted in a different direction for a while.

“Yes, we are.
You see, we cater to the people, sir.
We…”

“Then are you still taking business now?”

“…What?” The fat old man didn’t react for a while.

“Every city has one of your stores, so… You’re going to another store to stay for a while, right? You don’t plan to close the store for the time being.”

“Not planning, not planning…” The old man wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the horror on his face turned into doubt.

“How much does it cost to design a pair of wedding rings?” Oliver asked in a low voice, clenching the reins in his palm.

The question almost came out of his mouth by himself.
After realizing what he had asked, Oliver turned his face— He could feel a burst of heat on his cheeks suddenly ignited.

“This, it depends on the materials you choose, the construction period, and the designated level of craftsmanship—” The fat old man replied subconsciously, a little confused as to why this simple-dressed young man suddenly talked to himself about business.

“I will provide the gems myself.
If the remaining materials are the best, how much will it cost?”

“If you provide the gems and we help cut them, let me think… If there’s no urgent requirement for the construction period and no designated craftsman, then it will be about three thousand gold coins.”

Oliver gasped.
He simply calculated the money he got from Ann’s mission and found that this crazy idea would almost immediately return him to a state of poverty.

But if the money was gone, he could earn it again.
This pair of rings would be bought sooner or later, so he wouldn’t really be shaken by it.
Tumbleweed’s luck hadn’t been very good lately.
Instead of pinning his hope on the uncertain future, Oliver would rather take them with him sooner— Even if he hid them from Nemo for the time being, it would give him more peace of mind.

“If you don’t have special needs, you can order from other stores.
After all, we are a shop for nobles.
As long as your heart is there, I think your girlfriend will understand too.” Misunderstanding his cold breath, the fat old man tremblingly advised.

“Boyfriend.” Oliver corrected patiently as his mind was still spinning quickly.

The fat old man choked.
“Uh, you should also be Alban yourself, young man.
Not to be rude, but Zenni doesn’t recognize such a marriage, and no church will be willing to hold a wedding for you.
You know things like wedding rings…”

“Oh, I think he would be fine with it,” Oliver replied vaguely, putting on the parchment paper he picked up back into the cloth bag.
“It’s okay with us, but for you guys… Will the Tristan Family refuse such an order because of faith?”

“No, but…”

“Then I want to order a pair.
It’s not that there are any special needs, I just want to give him the best.” Oliver scratched his head embarrassedly.

The fat old man stared at the other person suspiciously for a while and found that he wasn’t pretending to be shy.
The other party was at least a person who had three thousand gold coins, which made him raised his head and breathed a sigh of relief.
“Goodness, your horse is a military horse.
I thought… I’m really sorry, young sir.
I apologize for my attitude just now.”

“Don’t take it to heart.” Oliver was still immersed in his impulsive decision.

“Okay, sir, you have to leave your name.
There should be blank lambskin paper in that cloth bag.
I will prepare a reservation contract for you in a while.”

The fat old man straightened his waist and obediently changed his attitude.

“When we arrive at the refuge later, you have to provide me with some necessary information.
If there’s no portrait, we will design it based on your description of your lover.
If you can, you can also give me the gems first.
When I get to the other shop, I’ll arrange a craftsman for you as soon as possible.”

“Okay, how long will it take?”

“It usually takes one and a half months.” The fat old man wiped his face indiscriminately with his sleeves, and hugged cloth bag in his arms.
“God knows what the situation will be at that time, but don’t worry.
Garland also has our stores, and we’ll never renege on our contract.”

“I see.” Oliver gritted his teeth.

“At that time, you can find any of our stores to pay, and just show the contract.
For the sake of your help, the situation is special, so I won’t ask you for a deposit.
You see, in fact, the current information is usually stored in magic stones.
If it weren’t for these things being so old…”

He casually took out a piece of paper from the cloth bag and shook it.
“We still keep orders from more than 20 years ago.
Sometimes customers will come and say they don’t want it anymore, but the boss just asked us to keep them anyways and we have to take strict care of it.
God knows how easy these things could be forgotten as it really doesn’t make any sense.”

Oliver glanced at the piece of paper casually, and his head, which was slightly hot, instantly became cold.
He recognized the design and the name.

A beautiful pendant design with a familiar name written next to it…

Flint Lopez.
