Jon received a good amount of bronze coins from Icehill Farm in the Tallharts region. However, the boy now had much more than what he earned from the farmers for two reasons.

First, testing his abilities in recent weeks, he discovered that he could find metals in the soil or on the surface in a specific area. By placing his hands on the ground, he had a range of 50 meters to discover things and ended up finding buried coins, probably left by hunters passing through where he was. Although it didn't yield much wealth since no one likes to lose money, he still managed to significantly improve his financial situation as he headed north, finding 25 silver stags and 10 gold dragons. He could only thank the old gods for making his life so much easier through these gifts.

Second, at the giants' camp, there was a small chest with hidden coins, which made Jon very happy for his future plans. However, despite having 1000 gold coins and 500 silver, they were not marked at the time they were minted and needed to be forged into exact forms if he wanted to use them on this continent.

In addition to obtaining materials to fix the forge and reforge his weapon, and obtaining materials for alchemy, he wanted to build coin molds and even make some weapons after surveying the area around those ancient constructions and discovering an iron mine. With this information, Jon supposed that the establishment of that place was due to mining, but at some point, things went wrong for the former lord of the place.

The mine was set up, and Jon was already putting new structures in place, as the old ones had decayed over time after asking the giants for help. They even dug the opening to make it larger; this would allow the 4-meter-tall men to extract iron for the boy.

Since the giants were going to stay with him from now on, he needed to arm them. With the iron from the mine, he could create immense armor according to their sizes. It would be laborious, but Jon resolved that he needed to protect his new people and family. He also plans to assemble armor for the wolves and Panis, if possible, so that no one can pose a threat to his group.

When Jon went to the city, the giants were already digging tunnels and putting new logs in the mine structure. This will take time as well, but Jon has already planned to settle in the place for a few moons, wanting to wait for the she-wolf to give birth to the pups, which would take about 6 moons at most, giving him ample time to arm and equip his group for the journey to the Wall.

Jon could go straight to the Wall, but what if they were attacked on the way? The giants would attract a lot of attention, and knowing how greedy people are, they would be attacked by someone and would never win a battle surrounding their group, as it would be certain death for them.

Looking at the material depot's courtyard, he saw two young individuals, older than him, carrying their purchases in a cart they had acquired from the owner. The merchant tried to inquire about Jon, but the boy simply ignored him.

As for the assistants, they looked suspiciously at this child. It wasn't every day that a child spent more money in a day than they could earn in 2 years. When they finished, Jon tossed a silver stag to each of them. Changing their mood, they chose to thank and not get involved in the business of the little child, who was some noble in their minds.

Jon climbed into the cart, happy that his purchases were of good quality and were accompanied by two medium-sized horses, which made him confident that he could carry all these materials to the camp. Panis obediently accompanied him on the side, so he was walking back through the city with a heavy load now.
