Chapter 282
Chapter 282
Elena had a very relaxed week. There was nothing to do every day. He just kept eating, sleeping, and chatting with people.
Perhaps he felt a little too bored, so Elena tried to find something to do, such as renovating the orphanage, which he had been thinking about for a long time. It was time for him to take action.
"Want to find some trustworthy craftsmen? Sure, the Bruce family next door is very good at this."
Everyone has his own expertise. Elena was not arrogant enough to just find someone to take charge of this matter. Instead, he went to the blacksmith's house to ask the old blacksmith.
Even if the other party, who had been in the manufacturing industry for many years, was not a professional, he knew something or knew some people at least.
Facts proved that this was indeed the case. The old blacksmith did know an old friend who was particularly good at renovating houses, and he could introduce him to Elena.
Given the friendship between Elena and the old blacksmith's family, the old blacksmith would definitely help with all his strength. It was not in vain that he had eaten all the meat Elena sent. He would definitely help with this little favor.
"Elena, your hand."
Melissa noticed Elena's right hand under her cloak, and she immediately found something wrong with the empty look.
"Ah... this, I got hurt accidentally in a duel with someone. You know I'm very easy to get hurt now. But don't worry, it won't take long to heal, it's already much better."
Elena said with a casual look. His injury has indeed healed a lot. After this period of recuperation, his arm has already shown signs of growing back.
But now the cross section of the wound is a bit ugly, he dare not take it out for others to see, and even specially found a cloth to wrap it up.
"Really? Pay more attention, don't get into trouble."
Melissa said a little coldly, it seems that she doesn't care much, but the fact that she can say worried words is enough to prove how worried she is about Elena's condition.
Melissa has no intention of paying attention to people she doesn't care about. Only her family and Elena will make her take the initiative to ask about the situation.
Elena was a little embarrassed. He didn't really want others to worry about him, but this kind of thing couldn't be avoided by being more careful.
After all, he couldn't control the arrival of danger. It's no exaggeration to say that Elena had already prepared for the possibility that he would lose his life due to an accident one day. He had this idea when he was still a mercenary.
Without staying on this topic for too long, Elena followed the old blacksmith to Bruce's house next door. The other party seemed to be a carpenter, with a white beard and a barren head. His middle-aged appearance revealed the aura of a strong man.
Although it was rude to say this, Elena felt very relieved just by looking at the other party's appearance. At first glance, he could entrust the house to the other party.
"Renovate the old church? This is a big project. I can accept it, but it costs a lot of money. Don't blame me for not giving you a discount, but this is really not an easy job."
After listening to the content of Elena's commission, carpenter Bruce showed a somewhat embarrassed expression when he saw that he was going to renovate the old church.
This job is thankless and the number of consumables is very large. Just purchasing is a headache.
At this time, you have to pay less for favors, which greatly reduces the carpenter's desire to work. He really doesn't want to do this kind of work if he doesn't make more money.
But Elena was born in an orphanage. Normally, no one would think that he could pay such a large reward. This is not a small amount of money.
The old church is a little broken and old, but the area is not small at all, otherwise it would not support so many orphans to call it home.
According to the degree of renovation, the total cost may be as much as a platinum coin. After all, no one who renovates a house will just think about plugging the holes. This is basically no different from rebuilding a church.
Elena didn't say anything, but took out a shiny platinum coin from his pocket, not just one, but four or five platinum coins swimming between his fingers.
The carpenter on the side widened his eyes. He had never seen so much money in his life. He began to doubt whether Elena was really a child from an orphanage. How could such a person be so rich?
The blacksmith also looked like he was taking a breath of cold air. His family might not have so much money. Isn't Elena too rich?
It can only be said that Elena is no longer the poor orphan she used to be.
Being an adventurer is indeed very profitable. Elena doesn't have much to spend money on. Over time, he has saved up seven or eight platinum coins.
This isWith a lot of savings, Elena is considered to be a relatively wealthy person in the North City District. As long as he doesn't squander money, Elena will not be short of money in the short term.
But one day Elena wants to build a more powerful set of equipment, and these platinum coins may not even be enough to build a set of armor.
Precious metals are not cheap, and they are often the price of a sea view house. So when Elena saw that Elena's giant blade was broken, Elena felt very distressed every time he thought about it.
Although Elena herself didn't seem to care much, if she sold the fragments of the giant blade, she might be able to buy several houses in the North City District.
"Is this okay now? As long as the quality is guaranteed, I will definitely not reduce your reward."
Elena said with a smile. Although he is a stingy miser, he will never be stingy when it comes to spending money.
"Okay, I'll start the work the day after tomorrow. I don't need to consider the budget, right? If so, I'll let go and make a big fuss!"
With enough reward, carpenter Bruce suddenly became motivated, and he was eager to run to the dilapidated church to start the work.
However, this was impossible. If he really wanted to start the work, he would have to spend time looking for materials and say hello to the apprentices he preferred.
It was impossible for him to do such a big project alone. Without some help, he would be busy all day and night.
After discussing the details a little, the matter was completely finalized. Elena only needed to wait now. It wouldn't take long for the carpenter to come to work.
On the way leaving Bruce's house, the blacksmith couldn't help asking when Elena would have the idea of making equipment.
With so much money in hand, if Elena wanted a better set of weapons or armor, she could completely entrust him as a blacksmith.
To put it bluntly, the blacksmith was itching to do something. He had longed for the support of his sponsor more than once so that he could try to forge high-end equipment without restraint. However, due to the lack of opportunities, his talents could not be fully utilized and his forging level stagnated.
