<span style="font-weight:400">"I know of a great ce to buy all our materials," Keith smiled. And like that, the four headed to the store. Diana didn''t want toe as she wanted to tend to the garden. But she did write down what she wanted.
<span style="font-weight:400">Cadmus was dragged off the ind by Sohma. With how much he had annoyed them, there was no paperwork done. And Sohma needed to recoup that.
<span style="font-weight:400">And like that, the group arrived in front of Iron Hilde Workshop.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, is this the ce where we''re buying from?" Aidiun questioned. Aidiun and Arlo''s expressions changed when they saw the shop''s name.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm. Is there something the matter with it?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"You understand this is Iron Hilde Workshop!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yes. Let''s go in now," Keith entered the workshop.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What are you doing here, Brat!" Skar red at Keith.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Is that how you treat your customers?" Keith smirked. Gabriel and the two stared at the interaction. Are you guys going to fight?
<span style="font-weight:400">Skar sighed, "If you''re looking for the boss, he''s in his office."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thanks," Keith turned to the others, "Let''s go," As they headed to Dalen''s office,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, you''re amazing!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"The dwarves working in Iron Hilde Workshop are the most stubborn! They would never yield." Arlo stated with a sparkling expression.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, yeah. The workers did try to attack me in the beginning. That was interesting," Keith chuckled.
<span style="font-weight:400">"How could youugh in that situation?" Gabriel shook his head. He was attacked by a bunch of dwarves. He also took them out without a thought. Keith knocked on Dalen''s door,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Who is it?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s me, Dalen."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Come in," Keith entered the room, and Dalen smiled,
<span style="font-weight:400">"What''s the matter, Keith?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Dalen, I want to buy some materials for my mansion."
<span style="font-weight:400">"So you finally decided?" Dalen smiled and noticed the three, "And they''re here for the same?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm." Keith nodded. Dalen brought them over to the workshop for construction. The dwarves turned to them.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Kid, what kind of idea have you got on your hand?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Check this out!" Keith stated as he pulled out some ns.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hoho. So you know how to add some ideas,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hey! Where''s my idea,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Your idea sucked," Keith stated, and like that, an argument started.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Should we stop this?" Arlo questioned.
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s fine. We don''t need to do anything about it," Dalen shook his head, "That''s how they usually talk with one another."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith talks with them like this?" Aidiun was surprised.
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s because they epted him as an equal," Bit by bit, the dwarves started to ept Keith. They didn''t in the beginning. However, Keith''s abilities weren''t something they could look away from.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Equals sh to make something better," Dalen stated as he watched them. He asked,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Do you guys know what you want for your rooms?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I-I have an idea!" Arlo took something out. They were blueprints. Aidiun and Gabriel were surprised.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"When did you have that?"
<span style="font-weight:400">Arlo scratched his head, "When I was little, I like to design. So I have some ideas I want to incorporate."
<span style="font-weight:400">The three stared at the blueprints,
<span style="font-weight:400">"You''re a great drawer."
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s nothing,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"No, your blueprints are well-detailed and easy to understand," Dalen added.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Really?!" Arlo questioned with a bright expression. Dalen nodded, "Mmhmm, I think you could give the kid a run for it with these designs,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you so much!" Arlo bowed his head. Hearing praise from a master craftsman like Dalen was incredible.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Dalen! Do you sell beds here?" Keith asked.
<span style="font-weight:400">"We sell the frame. But we don''t sell the mattress," Dalen''s workshop wasn''t a full-on department store.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I see," Keith looked at the two, "You guys pick out a bed frame you want. I need to choose some other things,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Gotcha!" The three nodded.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Also, I need you guys to construct something for me," Keith''s purpose was to ask him for construction.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm? What do you want us to build?" Dalen was interested.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I want all of this here," Keith stated with a smile. He had a list prepared. Dalen looked through the items he wanted,
<span style="font-weight:400">"We have all of that. And it will take a day or two to cut them all."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Also, I need you guys to construct a bathroom for me," That was something else Keith needed to do. That bath in the mansion was not usable. It was broken and run down.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Do you have a design?"
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith grinned, "I want you to do it like this," Like that, Keith had brought out another blueprint. The dwarves stared at it.
<span style="font-weight:400">"This is an interesting design,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"You want to divide it into two parts?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yep, yep." Keith turned to the three, "Come and check it out. We''re going to be using it together,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Okay!" Arlo and Gabriel nodded as they looked at the blueprints Keith brought out.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Wow, I''ve never seen something like this."
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s interesting."
<span style="font-weight:400">"It would also give us the best views as we take a bath!" Keith stated with a grin. He asked,
<span style="font-weight:400">"How long will it take for everything to finish?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"If you only want the bath constructed, it should be in a week or two. With the kitchen, it should take at least three weeks,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"That quick?" They were surprised.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t underestimate the workers of Iron Hilde," Dalen grinned. They give top-of-the-line quality at the quickest pace.
<span style="font-weight:400">"And how much would everything cost?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"If we''re talking about the speed, the perfection, and the materials, I would say around 20 tinum coins,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, sure. Put it on the principal''s tab."
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Keith?
<span style="font-weight:400">Aidiun and the other two were speechless.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keithughed, "Rx. 20 tinum coins are nothing for Grandpa Cadmus,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Pff, I think the principal is going to get you for this," Gabriel stated. There was no way Cadmus was going to do anything.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh, worst case, he would ask for more food. I can take it," There was really nothing to worry about.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Are you sure?
