The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

On the one hand, it was to prevent other demons from taking advantage of Feld's unhealed injuries to invade, and on the other hand, it was to help Snowdrift Valley recover and rebuild.

Thanks to the collaboration between Jessica and the spellcasters under the Valentine Merchant Guild, the recovery of Snowdrift Valley is progressing very rapidly.

"One, two, three—okay."

"Slow down, a little to the left—stop!"

As Wiener stood by the window, looking at the statue that had been re-erected in the courtyard, a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.

After Kelda's despicable acts were exposed, the Laffner family and the entire Snowdrift Valley came to a new understanding of the truth.

The "Statue of the Two Heroes," destroyed in this battle, also faded from the historical stage.

The statue installed by the craftsmen in the courtyard is a 15:1 scale model of Admiral, created to commemorate its contribution in that war.

Since that night, Snow Valley has clearly changed a lot.

Count Feld commissioned craftsmen to cast a monument in the very center of Snowdrift Valley using ore left over from the burning of the Stone Monster.

It recorded the names of all the fallen soldiers, including the old steward, Jie Gang.

It is worth mentioning that Adramura's name was also recorded and placed in a prominent position at the top.

"Boom--boom--"

Two rhythmic knocks interrupted Wiener's thoughts.

"Please come in."

The door opened, and a young man who looked like a butler entered.

“Mr. Wiener, Lord Feld requests your presence.”

Am I the only one?

“And Miss Anna is with us.”

"Then please lead the way, Mr. Jim."

Jim is now the mansion's butler and also Jegan's second son.

When Vina came out of the room, she found that Anna was already waiting at the door, waving to Vina.

The two then proceeded to the study, led by Jim.

"Lord Feld is inside."

Jim opened the door and gestured for them to enter. After thanking him, the two went into the study one after the other.

The already simple study became even more rudimentary after the reconstruction, with many bookshelves even becoming empty.

Feld took the initiative to greet the two and said, "If it weren't for your help, Snowdrift Valley would probably not have escaped this calamity."

"I am deeply sorry that I have been unable to express my gratitude in person until now."

“Lord Feld, you’re too kind. It’s an honor for the Valentin Merchant Guild that you could take time out of your busy schedule,” Anna said with her signature smile.

The Valentin Chamber of Commerce would not provide assistance without a price; every act of help would come with a corresponding cost.

However, the fact that the Valentin Merchant Guild could provide nearly half of the resources needed for the reconstruction of Snowdrift Valley out of thin air is enough to demonstrate its terrifying resources.

Feld nodded slightly; he certainly understood why the Valentine Chamber of Commerce was willing to go to such lengths to help.

“I have no way to repay your kindness. I have already ordered my subordinates to gather the cold iron for the transaction. Miss Anna can go and receive it at any time.”

“Then, on behalf of the Valentin Merchant Guild, I thank Lord Feld.” Anna bowed slightly.

Xuelugu provided 1,000 tons of cold iron as the first batch of deliveries after the two parties reached a cooperation agreement.

When Wiener first heard this number, he almost lost his footing.

This was the first time he had ever heard that cold iron could be measured in thousands of tons.

What happened to the promised annual output of ten tons?

All factions knew that Snowdrift Valley was underreporting its production in order to stabilize the price of Cold Iron, but no one expected them to be able to underreport it so dramatically.

A thousand tons of cold iron would be enough to build a 10,000-strong Ice Edge Cavalry, which is dozens of times more than Anna had expected.

This gift is significant in every sense of the word.

Even Anna herself was so excited after hearing the news that she couldn't sleep all night.

"I have one more request."

"Please speak, Lord Feld."

“I have selected a group of young craftsmen who I hope will go to the Valentine Chamber of Commerce to learn. I hope Miss Anna will do me a favor.”

"My lord, you are too kind. I am very grateful."

Anna quickly thanked her.

The term "learning" is just a polite way of putting it.

The craftsmen in Snowdrift Valley are all raised on cold iron from a young age. Even if they are young, they are still rare talents in the field of utilizing cold iron.

With the technical guidance of these craftsmen, the Chamber of Commerce will be able to process this batch of cold iron much faster.

The value of that batch of cold iron alone far exceeded the value of the aid provided by the Valentine Chamber of Commerce. Coupled with this generous gift, Anna couldn't help but glance at Vina.

She knew perfectly well whose face the Lafner family was giving her.

Chapter 431 Dual Pistols, Dual Swords, Flaming Blade & Gun

"There is another gift, which is for Master Venere."

Feld lifted a wooden box from behind his desk and placed it in front of Wiener.

After learning that Wiener had forged another "Ademra" and that it had also broken in this battle, Feld changed how he addressed Wiener.

Only after Wiener strongly refused and claimed that he did not want more people to know his true level did he address him as a master.

"Then I won't be polite."

Viner did not refuse and put the wooden box into the ring.

While it might sound a bit boastful, Wiener certainly deserves to be called the biggest contributor to this mission.

If he continues to refuse, it will only embarrass the Lafner family.

Viner had seen the style of this wooden box before; it was exactly the same as the wooden box Anna had previously used to store the cold iron.

After being utterly shocked by the thousands of tons of cold iron, Wiener's mood when looking at this mere few tons of cold iron could only be described as calm.

“Lord Feld, are you sure you don’t want me to reforge Adramra?” Viner asked.

After the cooperation agreement was finalized and the gifts were accepted, even Feld's complexion had returned to normal, which meant that the day for everyone to return home was approaching.

This is the last chance for Wiener to forge it.

"Do you think anyone in Snowdrift Valley is worthy of Admira?"

Feld countered with a question to Wiener.

"If we start teaching children from a young age, they should be able to learn it within three generations."

The reforged Admira won't be as easily discarded as the one that accompanied Rufry.

To catch its eye, even if one hasn't reached the level of a sword saint, one must at least have the bearing of one.

Even three generations is a conservative estimate.

"Then let's wait until the Rafna family produces the next Sword Saint before troubling Master Viner."

Feld approached the window and gazed at the newly erected statue in the courtyard, sighing with emotion.

"Since it has already remained in the hearts of our people, why should it be bound by tangible things?"

-----------------

After leaving the study, Anna went to Vina's room and told him about the caravan's plans.

"The Chamber of Commerce has almost finished preparations, and we can return tomorrow. When you see Felix, please tell him about it."

"I thought it would only take about half a month, but with the time spent on the way back, wow, it's going to take this long."

"You've almost wasted a month already, what's a few more days?" Viner said irritably. "Do you think you're making too much money?"

In just one month, they secured a commercial order for a thousand tons of cold iron at cost price, and this was only the first phase of the cooperation.

This single transaction is equivalent to ten years' worth of income for the academy store.

Anna is clearly taking advantage of the situation and then acting innocent.

"That's true, but the academy store suddenly closed for a month. Even I have to come up with an explanation."

Anna held her forehead, seemingly troubled by the matter.

"...So you really did leave the shop unattended and skip work to come here?" Viner suddenly realized something.

"Hey, don't worry about that," Anna said, trying to cover it up.

"But speaking of which, how exactly did you defeat that demon apostle?"

Feld was seriously injured, and even his weapons were destroyed by the enemy. Anna naturally assumed that Jessica had resolved the crisis.

However, during a long talk late at night, I received a negative answer from Jessica.

......

"By the time I arrived, the apostle had been cornered by Venere, and I would have died anyway if I hadn't intervened. If I did anything, all I did was rescue Venere from the barrier."

"You mean to say that Venerable killed the Demon Apostle?"

From Anna's perspective, the more outstanding Venus is, the better.

The more outstanding Viner is, the more it proves her discerning eye.

In just his first year at the academy, he already has the feat of defeating two demon apostles. Even the hero couldn't compare!

"Ah."

Given Jessica's pride, she certainly wouldn't take the blame for picking up someone's head.

"How did he do that?"

Anna's eyes lit up, and she eagerly pressed for more information.

"Then why don't you go ask him!"

Jessica turned her head away, her tone tinged with displeasure.

This was her first battle after breaking through to the Sword Saint realm, but before she could even unleash her full power, her opponent was defeated by Viner.

Jessica felt like she had no way to use her strength.

"Then I'll go ask tomorrow."

Anna knew she shouldn't continue to provoke her best friend, so she wisely pulled up the covers and prepared to drift off to sleep.

But just as she was half asleep, Jessica's voice suddenly rang out again:

"Remember to let me know after you find out!"

"Oh."

Anna answered absentmindedly.

"Don't say I asked that!"

Jessica added.

"Oh?"

Someone instantly regained consciousness.

-----------------

"Do you remember the fragment of the Demon Blood Soul that I received from Adel before?"

Vena satisfied Anna's curiosity by taking out the Flame Blade Gun from her ring and placing it on the table to show it to her.

"When I was fighting the Apostle Giants, I also obtained a fragment of Demon Blood Soul. I used these two fragments to forge this Flame Blade Gun."
