"You….. " Tatsuo fiercely looked at him "Sir, I talk to a shop owner and he agreed to negotiate with us about the price of his shop" he reported

"Ok let's go" Tatsuo and the others headed to the shop when they entered the shop the owner is already sitting on the chair, he is a man that is about 50 years old, and have an aura of man that made thousands of swords. Ragnar greeted owner, Tatsuo sat on the chair.

"Sir Owner, this is Master, Sir Tatsuo"

"Good Afternoon Sir, thank you for coming here, straight to the point sir, how much you want to buy my shop?" He asked

"Yes, I'll thinking about it, I have a questions after a this few questions I'll give you the price" when Tatsuo enter the room he immediately scan the weapon in the room a it's all decent. And the quality of the weapon is high class he is confused why this man is here he supposed to be in the capital to have a better business. That is why tatsuo decided to buy this shop but he have a few questions in his mind.

"Sure, go ahead" the owner replied

"Who made all of this weapon? And how many years have you been making weapons? And why did you open a blacksmith here?" Tatsuo asked

"I make all of this weapons together with my four apprentice, I was start making weapon since I was 12, so it's been 40 years, it is complicated why I open a shop here it is bit confidential but I am from the capital" the owner answered

Tatsuo take something in his pocket and put it in the table and asked the owner "do you know this Crest?" The owner saw the Crest he is in shocked but he immediately kneeled down and greeted Tatsuo

"Your Highness, Forgive me, I'm being rude on you"

"So your from the castle, no one know this Crest anless you are in the castle, so tell me why you open shop here in this small town?" He asked again

" 20 years ago I killed a Knight because he slept with my wife, because I know my punishment I decided to run and hid myself here" he answered honestly

"What is your name?"

"Mosuke, Your Highness" he answered

"Mosuke. In the Authority that I have as a Prince of this Empire. I Prince Tatsuo Ryujin, granted you Pardon! Mosuke from now on your are no longer a criminal." Tatsuo declared

Mosuke is kneeling down the whole time he didn't dare to stand up in front of Tatsuo, he started to cry. "Thank you your Highness, from now on I will be servant, if you say I will do it!"

"Good! you can rise you can sit down on the chair again" Mosuke sat on the chair nervously. "Old kie, I call you that from now on. This is 300 gold coins is this enough to buy you shop?" Old kie was in shocked again

"No, no, no, no, my Prince it's to much. I just hoping that you can give me 50 gold coins but now knowing you your Highness it's an honor for me to serve you and be your servant" he rejected Tatsuo

"How dare you to reject me!" Old Ki shivered in fear, Tatsuo laughed "I'm just messing on you Old kie, I have a very important mission for you" he took a bag again in his pocket and said "this is 2000 gold coins, I want you to build power here in this Town if you can you can also run to be a Town Mayor, because I need weapons in the future, can I trust you in this mission Mosuke?

Now Old kie understood why Tatsuo is giving him a huge amount of money, he kneeled down again and said "it is an honor to be your tool your Highness, I will do my best to accomplish your command."

"Good better not disappoint me, also don't tell any one my identity even to your apprentices, and I'll a letter that you are pardon for you sins so we will not a problem in the future" Tatsuo wrote a letter of pardon for Old kie.

Tatsuo and Mosuke talk for a while after that Tatsuo is feeling tired "Old Kie do you have any room here that I can use?" Tatsuo asked "Yes your Highness I'll bring you there" before he headed to the room. He commanded Ragnar

"Ragnar prepare your squad also prepare weapons for Rota's squad ask Old Kie if you need something, We will attack them immediately as long we got the information"
