Liu Yuan wasn't just spacing out; he had been busy these past two days. He went to the tailor and the carpenter, spending a lot of money to urgently commission a coffin and a beautiful set of clothes. He also took the time to prepare some lime at the blacksmith's shop.

Liu Yuan hid in the room to dress Buma in her beautiful burial clothes, trying his best to apply makeup to her face so that she looked no different from when she was alive. He even personally carried her into the coffin.

Finally, he hired a few male servants to help him transport the coffin outside the castle. Liu Yuan knew that all of this must have been instructed by Balin, otherwise, even if he was willing to spend money, it wouldn't have been easy to borrow a mule cart, and these people wouldn't have been so obedient.

Outside the castle, by the edge of a forest, several adolescent children were waiting. When they saw the mule cart approaching, they surrounded it, revealing the grave that had been dug behind them. These children were all arranged by Liu Yuan beforehand; as long as they dug the pit according to his requirements, they would be given fragrant egg custard bread. He gave each of them a loaf of bread, and the children, ignoring the dirt on their hands, picked them up and started eating.

Liu Yuan beckoned the male servants to help him lower the coffin into the grave. Then, he paid them the previously agreed-upon reward and sent them away. The stable boy apprentice also led the mule cart away. The children originally intended to help, but he sent them all away as well, as he wanted to complete the remaining work himself.

The walls of the grave were built with rubble. Liu Yuan used sand and lime mixed together to create a simple cement to fill the gaps, which would prevent moisture. Then, he personally buried the coffin and, following the habits of his previous life, made a small mound and sealed it with the remaining cement. Finally, he erected a tombstone in front of the grave, carving the words 'Grave of Foster Mother Buma' in Chinese.

He didn't hypocritically kneel down or kowtow; he just sat there silently for a while. Then, he stood up and said, "Buma, don't worry, I will definitely fulfill your wishes for you. I will not only live, but I will live well, better than anyone else." After saying that, he left without looking back, the setting sun casting a long shadow behind him.

Liu Yuan returned to his room, surveying the place where he had lived for six years. He gathered some things that he could use, and gave the other items to some familiar servants. After all, this room would soon be assigned to someone else, so he simply moved to the blacksmith's shop to live. He quickly adjusted his mindset and joined the busy work again.

Old Parker originally wanted to say a few words of comfort, but seeing him in this state, he didn't say anything more.

A few days later, the blacksmith's shop had already completed the armor commissioned by Sir Bandier. After polishing, the armor gleamed in the sunlight. Because they saved a lot of costs, Old Parker generously added designs similar to breastplates to the front and back of the chainmail.

Sir Bandier received the news and didn't expect his armor to be made so quickly. Bandier came from a commoner background and was originally the captain of the Setiga family's fleet guards. He was ennobled as a knight by the Earl through his own efforts and sufficient merit, but he was still the kind of knight who only had the title without a fief. Even so, he had achieved class advancement. Because his working environment was on ships, and perhaps also out of consideration for his wallet, he chose this lightweight, high-quality chainmail.

As soon as Sir Bandier entered the shop, he was attracted by the armor on the wooden mannequin. The chains were very delicate, smaller than a typical fingernail, and more tightly woven, providing better defensive performance. Moreover, there were armor plates on the shoulders, elbows, chest, and ribs, and the entire armor gleamed with a metallic silver light, making it very beautiful.

He asked excitedly, "Mr. Parker, is this my armor? Praise the Seven Gods, it's so beautiful." Old Parker was also very pleased with his expression, rubbing his hands and saying, "Yes, Sir Bandier, this is the armor you commissioned. My apprentice and I have been working hard for a month to rush it out for you. Would you like to put it on and try it out?"

Sir Bandier was very happy, and he couldn't wait to put on the gambeson. This kind of gambeson is usually made of leather or canvas, with cloth padding inside. It can also be worn independently and is called 'cotton armor'. It can better withstand impacts, so it is essential when wearing chainmail. Because the rings are dense, it is very convenient to wear. After Bandier put it on, he tried shaking it a few times. It was very light and had little impact on body movements. Then, with Parker's help, he began to put on the gauntlets, greaves, armored boots, and gorget, and then began to hang the armor plates and other small parts. Finally, he put on the great pot helmet, put on a surcoat with his family crest on the outside, and tried walking around in the store. Sir Bandier was very satisfied, constantly praising Parker's craftsmanship.

Sir Bandier didn't even take off the armor and walked directly out of the blacksmith's shop wearing it. Before he left, he paid the remaining balance and gave an extra ten silver deer coins.

Old Parker happily weighed the bag of coins in his hand. After deducting the cost, he made a net profit of about two gold dragon coins. But Liu Yuan was concerned about another matter. Just now, Bandier was wearing a full set of armor, including the helmet, gauntlets, and iron boots. The weight should exceed 25 kilograms. If you add the weight of weapons and shields, it would be more than 30 kilograms. But Bandier looked quite relaxed, as if the weight of sixty or seventy pounds of armor had no effect on him, and he walked away wearing the armor directly.

It can be seen that his physique is very strong. If you put it more directly in terms of attribute points, then it is between 16 and 18 points. Bandier was previously the captain of the guards, so he shouldn't be a particularly powerful warrior. Then those formal knights who have received training since childhood must be even stronger in combat power. At the same time, Liu Yuan also made a training plan for himself to restore his combat power as soon as possible, so that at least when encountering enemies of Bandier's level, he would have some counterattack power.

Old Parker patted him and said with a smile, "Galen, what are you thinking about? Take it, this is the knight's reward. It's also your first income. Money is a good thing, you must save it well. You clean up the shop later, I'm going out for a while. Don't worry about dinner, get something to eat yourself." After saying that, he took off his work apron, grabbed a coat, and hurried out.

"Tch~ Cheapskate!" Liu Yuan curled his lips in disdain. Did he really think he didn't know? The old guy must be going to the tavern to drink and find a technician to relax. Bandier rewarded him with ten silver coins, and the old guy only gave him two. He took out the silver coins and looked at them carefully. The front of the silver coin was a very abstract person, wearing a crown and holding a scepter, probably the king at the time the silver coin was issued. He couldn't understand the words on it, probably meaning something similar to the Hongzhi Tongbao of the Ming Dynasty. The back was printed with a deer with antlers, and a row of small dots under its feet, representing the earth. The workmanship was very average, and the shapes of the two silver coins were not uniform. Although the silver coins were cast too perfunctorily, the purchasing power was still strong. One silver deer was worth seven copper star coins, which is 56 copper cents. Oh well, every little bit helps. He still needs to save money to buy materials and build a set of armor suitable for himself.

It's really miserable! Even on Blue Star, he had never lived such a poor life, but now he would actually feel excited when he heard the crisp sound of silver coins colliding.
