The two walked down the mountain path left behind by their hunting trips, and one could imagine that transporting the ore was even more difficult than mining it.
Before long, the two arrived at the center of Red Iron Village. The towering iron-smelting monster still stood in the open space. When Elm first saw it, he was startled; he had never seen anything so large. But now he was slowly getting used to it.
Not far from the iron-smelting monster are rows of raw material warehouses and finished product warehouses.
In other parts of the open space, there are now several small iron-smelting monsters.
If you keep walking, you'll reach the forging workshop, which is now entirely made of brick. The old wooden houses are gone.
There weren't many "ding-ding-ding" sounds because most people were resting.
Village Chief Smith was resting in a nice house not far away.
Elm and Fir walked over. "Village Chief Smith, Elm and I are going to Peach Blossom Village this afternoon."
Smith does look stronger now, and he rarely plays iron anymore. There are too many things going on in Red Iron Village, and he can't handle them all.
"Okay, go ahead! But if you go, you won't get any copper dragon coins this afternoon."
Smith looked at the elm wood; he had no say in the fir trees, but the elm wood was his responsibility.
He mainly issues copper dragon coins to the mines and ironworks now; the land cultivation below does not require the issuance of copper dragon coins.
"Chief Smith, I know." Although he was reluctant, Elm had no choice but to go and see him.
Once you leave the center of Chitie Village, you can see the land outside. This land is allocated to those who don't go mining or smelting iron.
The sheds not far away are where people sleep, and many people sleep together.
However, there are also designated areas nearby for them to build their own houses, but no one has that many copper dragon coins right now.
If you keep walking straight ahead, you'll reach Chenghua Avenue West. Houses along the roadside are under construction, and I don't know what the elm wood is for. It looks like it's being built very sturdily.
The path here is much easier to walk on; you could roll and run on it without any problem. Passing the castle, Elm slowed his pace and silently spoke to it.
"What are you going to do with the elm?" the fir tree behind asked.
"It's nothing. I'm just praying for the lord, hoping he lives a long life."
"Elm, the lord is still very young, he will live a long time." Watching Elm walk away, Fir also stopped and prayed towards the castle.
"A department store that sells everything" is a very apt description; you can really buy anything there.
There are some things you don't even know what they're used for. Like this thing in front of the elm tree.
Yu Mu only wanted to come in to buy a pair of shoes for his son, but the salesperson gave him something strange, saying that it was a free gift with the purchase of children's shoes.
There are only six of these things, and this is the first one. How should I describe it? It's colorful, has several small wings, and is connected by a stick. It even spins when the wind blows.
Huh? Isn't this a miniature version of that big windmill? Is this something for little kids? No wonder it's only given away with children's shoes.
At that time, everything was sold outside the department store.
"Sister Sophia, the shoes inside are very nice. You should change your shoes."
"Wow! What is that? It's so pretty! And it spins! Sister Adelaide, when did you start selling this?" Carly saw the windmill in Elm's hand from outside.
Adelaide was also a little surprised. Such a beautiful thing must have been made by its owner. She didn't even know that it could actually spin! It looked really fun, just like that big windmill.
Adelaide quickened her pace and walked inside.
"I'll go ask first."
