Scene 105 Tony Geer and the Young Lord (5)
Brando opened the letter. The whole letter was blank, but there was a secret mark in the upper right corner. He understood in his heart, crumpled the letter into a ball, and then burned it to ashes with a burst of fire in his hand.
Pieces of ashes fell.
Brando raised his head, and Charles brought him good news - the druids were back. This news made Brando feel relieved, but he did not feel excited about it and went to see these people immediately. Instead, he said to the new follower beside him:
"Mordenkainen."
"Here," the young man was startled for a moment, then realized that Brando was calling him, and asked hurriedly: "What's the matter, Lord Lord?"
"Go and find Tajib for me."
"Tajib?"
"It's the caveman leader. You know he is in the city now, in the castle." Since entering the state of war, Brando has summoned Tajib into the city.
But the caveman leader was quite happy about this, at least Grudin didn't give it this treatment.
As for whether Brando meant to use it as a pledge, Tajib didn't think too much. In his opinion, they had already sworn to their gods, and these humans really didn't need to do it multiple times.
"Add a cloak to it and let others see it as little as possible." Brando added.
The young man nodded quickly. "My lord, where do you want to see it?"
After hearing this question, Brando lowered his head and said something in his ear. The latter immediately nodded, then looked at his lord again, and after confirming that the other party had no more instructions, he immediately turned around and ran in In the snow curtain.
Brando didn't wave to the others until he saw the other person's back disappearing into the heavy snow:
"Let's go somewhere else."
Akane suddenly came back to her senses after looking at Brando before. She always unconsciously compared the young lord's appearance with Macaro, and even with Eco.
But the red-haired girl quickly blushed and shook her head, and asked in a low voice: "Where are we going... sir?"
Medissa gave her a funny look.
"A good place-" Brando replied.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier,
The street was soon covered with a thin layer of white, and there were not many pedestrians, but the warm orange light from the houses on both sides made people feel peaceful.
Akane's body has just recovered, and this is actually the first time she has gone out this week. However, the girl who has tied up her long red ponytail seems to have returned to her past life - she holds her own thunder gun and pulls away. He followed a short distance away, looking at the surrounding street scene with somewhat indifferent eyes.
Medissa has always been very interested in the human world. She occasionally asks Brando what that is or what this is.
The three of them walked for a while until there was a clanking sound in front of them.
Medissa's long pointed ears were the first to hear the sound. She was startled for a moment before she realized that this was already near Belu's forging workshop.
Ahead is Belu's forging workshop——
Since Brando bought the batch of cold iron ore from Ke Wen and others and delivered the magic eye gem, Belu's forge finally started construction. The pavement here came from the original lord's property - or Grudin's private property. This was originally the blacksmith shop in Fir City. After Belu bought the houses on both sides, he expanded the place.
However, having a venue does not mean that everything will be fine. The old man finally managed to recruit all the people, but most of them were mixed. For this reason, the forging master from the Eruin court complained to Brando more than once, saying that he did not support his work.
Fortunately, after Uriel brought the first batch of craftsmen, this situation has greatly changed.
The craftsman was sent by the red copper dragon Leto, because considering that the Mintai Territory might become the front line of the war, almost all the talented people from the veteran came to the Fir Fir Territory. Of course, this is for long-term planning, and it may not be to express loyalty to the young lord.
But no matter what, it solved his urgent need.
Although it is snowing heavily at the moment, the foundry is in full swing. The golden-red fire blooming from the furnace dyes the factory orange. This dazzling warm color is incompatible with the cold colors covered in silver outside, forming a strong contrast. ——Even if Brando was standing outside the factory, he seemed to be able to feel the difference between warmth and cold on the clear-cut dividing line because of this color contrast.
"Lord?" A voice came at this time.
Beru was just distracted from the countless trivial matters in the factory. It took him a lot of effort to guide these guys who seemed to him to be stupid. However, when the old man finally managed to sneak out to take a breather, he saw Brando and the three people standing outside.
"Master Belu." Brando saw him and smiled. Naturally, he didn't come here just to go shopping and watch the snowy scenery. The news of Pallas's army gathering attracted him, and he had to gradually realize his plan.
"What?" Belu said, "Sir, are you here to check the work progress of an old man like me?"
"I don't dare." Brando shook his head: "I just thought of an idea."
"What's the idea?" Beilu was stunned for a moment, but when he saw the four people standing in the snow, he hurriedly said: "Anyway, come in and talk about it. If you don't mind me, this place is too noisy and too dirty -"
Brando nodded and walked in with Medisa, Qian and the young man. The first batch of armors and weapons were being forged in the foundry. The young lord glanced into the factory - there were people coming and going. There were bare-chested blacksmiths and apprentices, and there were no people in robes to guide them - the people from Charles hadn't come yet, which meant that the first batch of armors forged by Belu were not white lion armors.
"The magic armor hasn't started yet?" he asked.
"Lord, you said you are not here to check the progress of the work." Beilu couldn't help but shake his head and said with a bitter smile: "I haven't worked for too many years, and my hands are already raw. The magic eye gem you gave me is precious, and I can't waste it. Sorry, I plan to practice my skills first."
The old man looked around the workshop and sighed: "Besides, these people also need to be skilled. There is a huge gap."
"It's because your requirements are too high." Brando replied. Bolu used to work in the Royal Foundry Bureau of Eruin and was recognized as the first master. His assistants are now well-known figures, and they can't help but think of them. Disdainful.
The most skilled among these people is just a blacksmith in the countryside. Not to mention that almost none of them had experience in using magic machinery, and some even lacked experience in forging weapons.
Casting armor is more complicated than weapons. It requires not only the experience of a blacksmith, but also the skills of a tailor and a tanner. There are craftsmen from these industries in the workshop, who are responsible for connecting the forged parts together to make a complete armor.
The entire process is very slow and often takes several hours or even a whole day to complete.
Belu looked at the huge magic machine in the center of the factory with a frown - it was a rather primitive instrument, produced almost twenty years ago - used to stamp and shape the chest and back plate armor at once. Then use magic rays to mark the breastplate with a magic circle that may be used for inlaying.
However, the working condition of these two old-fashioned machines is quite unstable, and problems often occur.
"The machines I used ten years ago were better than both of them, and their condition was worse than that of an old man like me." Belu felt that he had never done such a difficult job in his life, and there was almost nothing to do in this remote place in Tonigel. Nothing, before that it was hard for him to imagine that Eruin had such a place - everything about it seemed to be a century or more behind the era he knew.
Without magic power, the city is like a huge garbage dump. Outside the city is the wilderness, and agriculture is still at the most primitive stage of self-cultivation.
In the era that Beru was familiar with - that was almost ten years ago, in the richest area of Eruin, the manor had begun to use magic to nurture the growth of crops - there were students from the academy stationed in the fields.
Those elements allow the apprentice to change the weather in a small area by changing the arrangement of the elements, making them suitable for crop growth.
But there is none here.
In other areas, large-scale magical machinery has long been put into agricultural production, although this is only part of the entire transformation in the past hundred years - the Cruz people learned this technology from the Hazel people, and indirectly influenced Eruin. .
These technologies even changed the November War and brought about the unprecedented Second Holy War. However, the great progress of magic technology still changed the world.
certainly.
Except in Tonigel.
It's not even just Tony Geer. In Beru's view, the entire Gendenel area is a barbaric place abandoned by history. It seems that because it has an owner who doesn't like magic, it has always been excluded from civilization. outside.
Of course this is just the old man's personal bias. Brando knows that the poverty in the southern border of Eruin comes from many reasons. Not only Denel, but also Golan-Elson and the southern Karasu are mostly the same.
The southern border of the kingdom has always been the edge of the entire civilized world, due to various factors such as the development sequence, geographical differences, or the invasion of monsters - so whether it is Butchi, Braggs or Tonigel, These places are almost a world apart from the hinterland of the kingdom.
"Let's make do with it, Master Belu," Brando shook his head. Although these two magic devices are just a pile of scrap metal anywhere in Eruin, they are treasures here. When she found these two broken machines from Grudin's warehouse, Antitina originally dismantled one to study the magic channeling device inside, but was stopped by the forging master.
The original decision seems to be a wise decision now, at least these two machines have helped him a lot. No matter how outdated these two old machines are, they are at least better than Tony Geer's original handicraft production.
Brando couldn't imagine that Fir Territory's productivity level was still almost at the medieval level on earth, and how long it would take to realize his plan.
Time waits for no one——
