Chapter 31: Fusion: Top-Grade Arcana Mithril
“We’ll listen to you, Watson.”

Reynolds nodded to Watson, glanced at Carter, and walked straight out. After all, it was not his subordinates who had committed the crime. His anger just now was just for show.

Carter, who was on the receiving end of the look, secretly cursed him for gloating. He was a bit embarrassed, as he had wanted to take the opportunity to entice Watson, but did not expect his subordinates to commit such a big mistake. Fortunately, the young genius was not angry.

Outside the courtyard stood six burly men dressed as guards.

One of them was a young man in his early twenties. He was lying on the ground, rubbing his ankles with a pale face. His ankles had turned black and blue. Beside him was a round stone and two large pieces of broken white jade stone slabs.

The so-called white jade stone slabs were not made of jade, but a rare mineral called White Jade. This mineral naturally produced a kind of fragrance which could calm the mind of those who smelled it, in addition to having the effect of promoting cultivation. A house made of White Jade could be warm in winter and cool in summer. It was a material loved by many great nobles.

At this moment, Carter looked at the shattered and translucent pieces on the ground. His vision went black, and his body swayed, almost falling down.

Before he came out, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. If the white jade stone tablet was not severely broken and only broke into two or three pieces, he could still barely use it, but that glimmer of hope had since disappeared without a trace.

“Idiots, are you all pigs?”

Carter pointed at his subordinates and could not help but roar, “Kneel down and apologize to Baron Edward. Don’t even think about taking this month’s pay! Not only this month, you won’t get the next month’s pay either.”

A group of people, especially the guards who fell to the ground, looked aggrieved. They were already very tired from moving such a large slab. Who would have thought that there would be round stones on the ground? They did not do it on purpose, but with mistakes like that, the fine of a months’ wages was light punishment, as opposed to if Carter expelled them from the caravan.

“Baron Edward, we were wrong. Please forgive us.”

“We are really sorry. We were careless.”

A few guards turned their heads and carefully lowered their heads to Edward.

“Forget it. You did not do it on purpose.” Edward waved his hand and walked to the guard who had sprained his ankle. He picked up the round stone under his feet and looked at it. He found that it was very smooth. There was not a single corner on it, and it did not seem to be formed naturally.

Turning his head, Edward glanced at Watson. Back in the courtyard, he saw a few pieces of broken stone on the ground. Some of the edges and corners had been smoothed out, just like that stone.

Feeling his father’s gaze, Watson whistled and turned his small head to the side.

Just now, in order to test whether the weapon condensed by his light-attribute combat aura was sharp enough, he not only hacked at the big stone in the courtyard, but also slashed at the broken stones and either pierced or grinded them. Perhaps a few pieces had accidentally flown out in the process of cutting.

Having roughly guessed the cause of the incident, Edward found that Carter was still reprimanding his subordinates and sighed, “Carter, it has been many years since we last met, and your temper is still as hot-tempered as ever! Alright, they’ve been punished, so let’s not make things difficult for these people anymore. Unfortunately, we can only trouble you to make another trip to Monte Town.”
