Chapter 27: Recruits and Workshop?


--- Chapter 27 ---

Yawn~!

Huo Yuhao yawned while munching a toasted bread and stared at the Northern Sea City with a weird look. A day quickly passed after he fought the oceanic spirit beasts and unraveled the whirlpools problem, but something unexpected happened.

"Fufu~, why the long face? Aren't you happy people worship you as a hero?" Huo Yun'er poked her son's cheeks.

At the coastline, the cliff he jumped to defeat the Imoogi. Huo Yuhao left a Haoshoku Haki's mark there with imbuement to repel any wild spirit beasts, causing his strong willpower to resonate for at least several years. However, people in the Northern Sea City mistake it as a great master that drove the Oceanic Spirit Beast away.

Even with Yun Han's detailed explanation to the people here, some people somehow concluded a mysterious master who appeared and saved them all from misery. And Haoshoku Haki's mark makes it more legit.

It's almost fantasy-like to Northern Sea City as the whirlpool on the coast has caused so much harm to people here, getting freedom after years of suffering. Yes, they also called yesterday's event Freedom Day.

Huo Yuhao was slightly dumbfounded mainly and couldn't help but question these people's minds. He was too busy planning their escape from Qianye Ying'er father, thinking of a suitable way to hide from that guy's radar.

"Mom, can you see the Qi Luck in this city?" He suddenly asked Huo Yun'er, who beamed immediately.

She giggled and replied, "Hehe~! Everything for my beloved son."

Huo Yun'er closed her eyes for a moment and opened them back a minute later, having a golden tingle in her pink eyes. After skimming around the Northern Sea City, she deactivated her ability and rubbed her chin.

"Everything is fine, nothing too extreme. Your action has blessed this city with a decent amount of Qi Luck and ensured prosperity for a few years. Their adoration for you also indirectly increased your Qi Luck, but not much." Huo Yun'er commented with a cheerful tone.

"I see..." Huo Yuhao smiled and leaned on the chair.

"Oh yeah, where is Ying'er?"

Huo Yun'er pondered for a moment and answered, "Ying'er? She was looking around for a sea map in the city center, but they didn't sell it for some reason. Well, they weren't selling it because of the whirlpool, to be exact."

"Sea Map... That's one of the easiest things to get." Huo Yuhao responded while thinking about Yun Han. That old fisherman should have one lying around in his boat.

Qianye Ying'er suddenly opened the door and entered the room with a smug look. "I found it! We can travel through the sea with this." She excitedly lifted an old-looking sea map.

[Name: Yun Han's Sea Map]

[Type: Item]

[Grade: A+]

[Description: An old sea map drawn by the "oldest." and the most skilled fisherman in the Northern Sea City, Yun Han. It recorded over thousand of sea routes to travel around the Douluo Continent]

"Uh, how did you get that?" Huo Yuhao asked, to which Qianye Ying'er responded with a grin.

"Youngsters went to the big city. Northern Sea City only has senior people around now. It's not an ideal proposal, but I can convince them all to join the Dragon Nest. They would accept your offer at the heartbeat because you're our savior." Yun Han answered casually. "Even though most of us are fishermen, we also have other jobs like carpenter, blacksmith, and doctors that could help your organization in the early development."

"Don't look down on us, Kid. We might be old, but our ages also indicate our rich experience in this world."

"I never look down on anyone." That last statement makes Huo Yuhao remember his previous father. That man might be old and senile, but his rich experience in the business field was one of the best. "There is no fool like old fools. Nothing can beat experience."

"Well, you can tell them about the proposition secretly. I'll wait until noon." Huo Yuhao said calmly. "Also, you said blacksmith before, right? Can you tell me where that person's workshop is?"

Yun Han nodded and told Huo Yuhao to reach the corner of the Northern Sea City. There was a small workshop with a roof made of brick tiles near the beach.

"Don't worry about your identity. I'll be secretive when talking to recruits." Yun Han added lastly.

Huo Yuhao waved his hand at the old fisherman and went to the workshop with his mom and Qianye Ying'er. "That man is an interesting person, but he can't be my Hao'er~!" Huo Yun'er smiled behind her veils.

Qianye Ying'er agreed and added, "Yuhao is stronger and more calculative in every way possible."

"Thanks for the praises, but I'm not that great." Huo Yuhao responded with a chuckle.

They arrived at the beach and saw the blacksmith workshop with a brick-tiled roof. Huo Yuhao frowned inside because he could see intense black spots coming out of that place.

"Hello, anyone inside?" He knocked on the front door, waiting for the response.

Huo Yuhao used Kenbunshoku Haki and sensed someone on the floor with faint breathing. The temperature inside the workshop was over what the typical blacksmith could handle. He kicked the door and walked inside without permission.

"Hmm?" He stared at the burning forge with a weird expression because there was no fuel inside, only a bright-looking stone with an odd aura.

[Name: Luan Bird's Egg]

[Type: Spirit Beast/Egg]

[Age: 15.000 Years Old]

[Description: An abnormal Luan Bird's Egg that hasn't hatched after 15.000 years old, which seems to be half-dead with only essence left inside. Luan Bird is known to be related to the Phoenix and has more spiritual energy than any other bird]

"This is perfect for mom." Huo Yuhao reached over the egg and grabbed it casually. The heat wasn't affecting him because he has Level 120 Fire Resistance. He doesn't even feel any heat coming from this thing.

Huo Yuhao picked the blacksmith on the floor and tossed him outside like a bean bag, controlling the fire inside. After lowering the temperature, he glanced at the Moon Monolith's pieces in his inventory and decided to fuse them here.

"Mom, Ying'er. Can you take care of that guy?" He said from the workshop ventilation.

"Okay." Qianye Ying'er replied while checking on the blacksmith's condition.

"Sure." Huo Yun'er nodded slightly.

Huo Yuhao stretched his young hand and said, "Let's start."
