The mention of the town''s people returning meant they were likely getting ready to head to the southern mountain and start a new storyline, which excited the yers who had been grinding their levels hard for two days.


    ~?~


    The yers had seen the cksmith before during the fight against the demon advance team.


    He had been injured and couldn''t escape, but he survived thanks to the yers'' heroic actions.


    The cksmith was even more surprised when he learned that the brave heroes had built the ironworks and they wanted him to take over the work there.


    As a former cksmith, he had been out of work after injuring his leg, but that didn''t mean hecked vision.


    Such a huge ironworks would produce high-quality iron.


    If he used that iron to make weapons, he could sell them in Lindblum City to nobles and make a lot of money.


    But the heroes had put so much effort into building it and were just handing it over to him so easily?


    The cksmith could feel that if he took over, his future would be bright.


    He was deeply grateful and said to the heroes, "I haven''t worked as a cksmith for a long time. Are you really willing to let me do this?"


    The yers, seeing his reaction, were a bit at a loss.


    They only wanted toplete their quest.


    Who actually took over the ironworks wasn''t really their concern.


    They couldn''t work at the ironworks forever.


    If there were daily quests in the future, it would be fine for him to help out then.


    Moreover, they knew from the start that the ironworks would be handed over to an NPC.


    It was amon practice by the gamepany.


    After being yed for so long, yers weren''t fools.


    They knew how things worked.


    They were just ying a game, so they naturallypleted the quests given to them by the system, especially since there were rewards involved.


    To them, handing over the ironworks wasn''t a big deal.


    However, the NPC was too emotional.


    Someone couldn''t help but say, "You don''t need to thank us. It was Hanjun who asked us to bring you here. Hanjun is the one who wanted you to take over the ironworks."


    The cksmith was surprised and looked at Father Barry and Hanjun beside him.


    Earlier, they didn''t know Hanjun and thought he was brought by Father Barry.


    They also thought that if the heroes said Hanjun wanted him, it must have been Father Barry who instructed Hanjun to say that.


    He turned his head to Father Barry, who was standing a step behind Hanjun, and said, "Father Barry, all these years, we didn''t believe in the God of Light, so we didn''t treat you well. Thank you this time."


    Father Barry felt a bit helpless.


    He knew the cksmith thought it was his idea andpletely overlooked Hanjun.


    He quickly indicated to the cksmith, "I''ve long forgotten about the past, but this matter has nothing to do with me."
