The Swords of Absolution were said to bring misfortune to their owners.

This rumor had been circulating for a long time, but many people still didn’t believe it.

Could such a beautifully crafted piece really bring that much disaster?

Cyril was one of them, he was a City Lord and a hero, in his dictionary only the weak and frail were unfortunate.

But as he aged, he began to realize another issue.

Besides being bullied for being weak, illness could also bring misfortune.

His only son had recently contracted a strange illness, which was making him lose weight rapidly, and no good solution had been found so far.

He began to delegate the administration of the city to his subordinates, dedicating himself to finding a cure for his son.

Today, when Fang Hao asked about the Swords of Absolution, the rumor came to his mind along with thoughts of his son.

“Do you like this sword? Are you not afraid it could bring you misfortune?” Cyril asked curiously.

“Oh! I’m giving it away. I suppose it shouldn’t count if I just pass it on.” Fang Hao replied directly.

He had also seen the mention of misfortune in the properties of the sword.

If it were any other time, even if he didn’t believe in such things, he wouldn’t risk it.

But he was just completing Little You’s task, and he would pass it on to Little You as soon as he bought it. Fortunate or unfortunate, what did it have to do with him?

Besides, Little You was a ghost, and the task itself also involved the sword, so the concept of misfortune didn’t apply.

Cyril was momentarily stunned, this sword was actually meant for his enemies.

“How much are you willing to pay?” Cyril asked for the price directly, seemingly intending to sell it.

Fang Hao pushed the money box that had just been delivered to him forward, “1,000 gold coins. I didn’t bring any extra money this time. What do you think, City Lord?”

Cyril didn’t answer immediately, but his fingers drummed rhythmically on the back of his chair.

The exquisite sword certainly wouldn’t go for less than 1,000 gold coins, and if displayed in some large auction houses, it could fetch an even higher price.

But who would buy it?

His son was sick again and he was thinking of just selling it.

“Alright, it’s yours now.” Cyril agreed immediately.

“City Lord Cyril, you are straightforward.” Fang Hao also sighed in relief.

He exchanged the bandit bounties for the task item.

They were all settled, but Fang Hao did not hurry to leave.

Instead, he looked at Cyril again and said, “City Lord Cyril, I wonder what formalities I need to go through if I want to open a shop in Pruell City?” “A shop? What kind of shop?” Cyril asked curiously.

“A restaurant, or a store that sells some civilian utensils.” Fang Hao answered.

It’s not a good idea to sell weapons and gear in the city.

These were sold to official forces from all over the place, no one would allow the residents of their city to freely buy blades and bolts, which would disrupt the order of the city.

This was not a game where players could freely buy and sell equipment once they entered the city.

“That’s not a problem, just report to the City Lord’s Mansion when you’re ready to open your shop.” Cyril replied.

“Alright, thank you, City Lord.”

Fang Hao thanked him. His goal for today had been achieved.

After chatting with Cyril for a while as a transition, he got up and left the City Lord’s Mansion.

He went to the tavern to check if there were any new maps, and then he directly left Pruell City.

Outside the city, the Giant Lizard was still lying there, occupying a whole horse stable by itself.

A large crowd was far off, all pointing and talking about the Giant Lizard.

Some mischievous children wanted to pick up stones and tease it, but were stopped by the adults, and their bottoms were heavily smacked.

Fang Hao walked over, lightly patted the Giant Lizard’s body, “Time to get up, we have to go home.”

The Giant Lizard opened its eyes and flexed its body.

It lay down again, allowing Fang Hao and Anjia to easily mount it.

Under the stare of many residents, the Giant Lizard quickly began to run, kicking up dust as it went.

When they returned to the fiefdom.

Fang Hao dismounted the lizard, lightly patted it twice on the neck, and the Giant Lizard obediently went off to its dwelling.

A vehicle that could park itself is a dream for many.

As soon as Anjia got down, she complained that she was hungry and went to find Eira.

On the other hand, Fang Hao took the newly purchased Swords of Absolution to Little You’s place again.

This time, before he even knocked, the door was opened.

“Lord.” Little You greeted.

“Hm, you haven’t rested during the day, have you?” Fang Hao sat down and asked.

Little You usually stayed dormant during the day and went out at night, strolling around the fiefdom, or going even further and returning before dawn.

With Little You’s abilities, there wasn’t much she could do to help Fang Hao, so after scouting Skullcrusher’s whereabouts last time, she hadn’t been given any more tasks.

“Not yet.” Little You replied.

“Right, I got another Swords of Absolution this time, 1’11 give it to you.” Fang Hao gave the Swords of Absolution to Little You.

As soon as she accepted it, a flash of light burst from Little You’s body.

And her tier was upgraded again.

[Wandering Spirit – Xiao You (Tier 7)]

She had risen from 3rd tier to 5th tier when she got the Swords of Absolution last time.

This time, she was promoted from the 5th tier to the 7th tier.

If this continues, wouldn’t Xiao You become a hero once all 12 swords were collected? And possibly a high-grade hero at that?

“How are you feeling, Xiao You? You okay?” Fang Hao asked the bewildered Xiao You.

Xiao You turned around and spoke softly, “Master, I’m fine. I just saw some images that might be related to my past.”

Fang Hao was also curious.

‘Would you mind sharing what you saw?” he inquired.

“It was all fragmented, I saw myself participating in a swordsmanship competition, I saw myself wearing the church’s clothing, delivering a baby for a pregnant woman, it was all very chaotic,” Xiao You detailed her just-seen vision.

A swordsmanship competition, and delivering babies.

The past Xiao You seemed to have known a lot more.

“Don’t dwell on it too much. Don’t let these things disrupt your current life,” Fang Hao stood up and ordered.

Collecting all 12 Swords of Absolution is a task in Xiao You’s attributes, and it will continue.

Becoming a hero will also be a good thing for Xiao You.

She can get on with life, instead of being just an unranked undead wandering spirit.

Therefore, while collecting the mission items, maintain a calm attitude and avoid problems.

“I understand, Master. Don’t worry.” Xiao You placed the sword in the cabinet and bowed again.

Fang Hao nodded and returned to his lord’s mansion for a meal.

Upon returning to the lord’s mansion, Eira had already prepared dinner.

Fruit wine, meatloaf, and a kind of food similar to pizza with vegetables and minced meat in it. The taste was actually quite good.

Even if there were no side dishes, this pizza could serve as a dinner.

“Eira, how is the preparation of the hotpot base material going?” Fang Hao asked while eating.

“Master, I have already taught the method to the other two maids. When the time comes, we three will make the sauce together. It will be faster.” Eira answered.

In fact, Eira was still somewhat baffled by Fang Hao’s request.

Even if he liked this type of sauce, there was no need to make so much, right?

“Ah, once the sauce is ready, I plan to open a hot pot restaurant in Pruell City. I’m sure it will be a hit,” Fang Hao stated.

“Oh, so that’s why you asked the old man about opening a shop earlier,” Anija realized. She looked up with an expression realizing his secret.

Opening a hotpot restaurant was an idea that Fang Hao came up with yesterday.

If you ask what’s the most convenient and addictive food, it’s hotpot.

Besides, it’s easy to make. It doesn’t require any skilled chefs, just prepare the base material, and then throw whatever you want into the pot.

If I put together a team of bunny and fox maids then, it’s bound to be a hundred percent popular.

“Will the people of Pruell City also use chopsticks!” Eira asked softly while gnawing on her meatloaf.

Oh no!

They probably don’t.

Of course, chopstick is the necessary utensil for eating hot pot. If it was hand picked, there would be no need for meat.

“It’s okay, we can make some training chopsticks. Their usage is similar to tongs. People will get used to them,” Fang Hao quickly came up with a solution.

Training chopsticks for children are connected at the top so they’re easy to use.

It’s just like using tongs. After using it twice, people will get the hang of it.

“If that’s the case, there shouldn’t be any problems,” Eira nodded in agreement, her bunny ears flapping slightly.

Fang Hao also felt there were no issues.

Simple base material, tasty flavor, and add to that a couple of barrels of Troll Brew. The cost wouldn’t be too high.

If it were successful, the income is quite desirable.

No matter how you look at it, there wouldn’t be any issues.

Even if the hotpot restaurant didn’t work out and couldn’t be opened, he could just change it to a general store.

Selling bathtubs, agricultural tools, or some other merchandise.

Either way, there’s no way to lose.

“Hmm, if everything goes well, we can open chain stores in each city. We’ll call it ‘Eira Hot Pot Restaurant’,” Fang Hao declared outright.

Eira’s cheeks flushed immediately, “Come on, who names a restaurant after their name,” she protested.

“How about combining it with the characteristic of our city, call it ‘Bone Hot Pot Restaurant’ or ‘Undead Hotpot Restaurant’?” Fang Hao brainstormed for a store name while frowning.

Anjia cracked a joke while eating, “Are you sure it’s for the living?”

Everyone chatted and laughed together while eating.

Just then, the system prompt rang again.
