The Amber Sword

Scene 109 Tony Geer and the Young Lord (9)

"No, you guessed wrong, Master Belu." Brando shook his head.

The young man closed the door. The mysterious guest pulled off his cloak, revealing the rickety body underneath and the feather robe covering the wrinkled skin. Tajib bowed deeply and bowed to Brando.

Belu was stunned for a moment, "Caveman?" He said in surprise: "Wait, sir, what do you mean?" The master craftsman reacted quickly. The thing he designed according to the drawings could not be used by humans at all, but it was for These underground creatures are tailor-made.

"My lord, when did you have any dealings with cavemen?"

"Didn't we have a battle with them?"

"But...then, what is going on?" The old man was confused for a moment.

During the battle with Sir Mintai, Brando's side deliberately blocked the news, and most of the prisoners were kept alone in the dungeon without anyone contacting them. Therefore, the news that cavemen participated in the battle was not leaked.

In addition, he was indifferent to the affairs of Brando's military group and devoted himself to his forging workshop. He really didn't know that Brando's men had merged into a large caveman clan.

"Sir...amazing." Tajib maintained a respectful posture, but it faced the master craftsman and replied in a somewhat unfamiliar Cruze language.

"Does that mean they were conquered by you?" Beilu turned around and asked.

Brando nodded.

"Martha!" the old man shouted: "How many have you subdued?" He stopped immediately, and suddenly thought of a possibility; the old man looked at Brando with wide eyes in shock, and stretched out a trembling slap: " five hundred?"

Five hundred is the number for the armor Brando asked him for.

But the young man smiled and shook his head. Beilu thought of things too simply. Just like humans, no matter how much the cavemen united the whole people, it was impossible for everyone to be the strongest fighting force. What's more, he glanced at Tajib. Although the caveman chief was respectful to him, he would not leave the fate of the entire clan in his hands.

"Three thousand," he said.

Beilu choked, and he quickly held the corner of the table, "I understand, it seems that my old bones are really not able to keep up with the pace of you young people -" He shook his head, three thousand cavemen ? So how do young people win? Not to mention conquering.

No wonder those mercenaries - especially the younger generation of mercenaries,

He admired this lord so much that he was a little dismissive at first, but now it seems that this is not just blind worship.

"Okay," Boru replied: "I understand, now Pallas is going to be in bad luck-"

"It's not that simple. Lord Denel won't rush in so recklessly. He is an old fox." The young lord shook his head: "Sir Mintai's lessons are enough to make him more cautious."

"You mean Pallas will have reinforcements?"

"Isn't this inevitable?" Brando replied.

The old man touched his chin: "Is that why you want to arm these cavemen?"

"Exactly," Brando patted the armor, and then said to Tajib: "Tajib, come and try it."

"Sir, what...is this?" Tajib couldn't see, but it heard the echo of metal.

"You'll know when you put it on."

"Witch doctor...I am." Tajib finally understood that it was a set of armor, and quickly waved his hand: "Sir!"

"It's okay, just give it a try." Brando smiled slightly: "This is a gift from me to you, don't you want to refuse?"

"A gift?" The caveman chief was stunned.

"Your clan is not a very strong one underground, right?" Brando asked.

Tajib fell silent and nodded. If they are a strong one, they will not be driven to the surface. They would rather go back underground than live in the surface world.

But its tribe is actually not small in size, but it has never found a powerful underground lord as a backer. Tajib knew that he had a hidden danger, that is, in the tribe left to him by his ancestors, the majority were old and weak, and there were very few people who were truly qualified to fight in the underground world.

"It doesn't matter," Brando didn't care: "I said a long time ago that if we can't improve our own strength and skills, then we can focus on improving our equipment -"

"Equipment...improvement?" Tajib repeated this sentence doubtfully.

"I plan to give your tribe five hundred sets of armor," Brando replied, "Heavy armor, just for cavemen."

The caveman chief was obviously shocked by this number. Five hundred sets of heavy armor was a huge wealth even underground. The underground lords would never use these things to arm a group of cavemen - in other words, they were just a group of cannon fodder.

It looked up with some stuttering and replied: "Cavemen... don't wear armor... Sir!"

Cavemen don't wear armor? Brando couldn't help but curse in his heart. The performance of the stormtroopers under the caveman lord and siege master Elache - those caveman commandos in heavy armor in the third war still remains in his memory. new.

The set of armor in his hand was actually the design drawing of the original version of the rhinoceros armor designed by Elache. Of course, he had never purchased the later versions, but this set of armor was considered ahead of its time in the Year of Flowers and Summer Leaves.

Brando remembers clearly that the first set of rhinoceros armor was born about five years later.

"Are you so willing to be cannon fodder? This kind of thing will become history in the future, Tajib." The young man shook his head: "I said, this set of armor is specially designed for you."

"Wait!" At this time, Beilu stopped the two of them: "Sir, do you mean to say that this set of armor has never existed before?"

"nature."

The old man looked at the young man, and he was a little angry: "You didn't even let these guys try on a set of newly designed armor, and you asked me to make more than two hundred sets!"

Speaking of the latter part, the master craftsman almost shouted. He felt that Brando was simply making fun of him. This had never happened before. A set of newly designed armor was put into mass production without even conducting experiments. Did this guy think it was a toy? ?

Of course, he could understand it if Brando was so rich that he could rival the country, but this was obviously a time when the territory had just started and even maintaining it seemed difficult.

The iron ore used to make more than two hundred sets of armor was almost the entire reserve of Fir Territory. It even delayed the reconstruction of the city wall for this reason. Antitina came to him more than once to complain about this matter.

The more Bolu talked, the angrier he became, especially when he thought about Brando constantly standing with Her Highness the Princess. If everyone around Her Highness the Princess was like this young man, he even now doubts whether this damn kingdom has a future. .

He felt that he, the chief craftsman of the kingdom, had been tricked by this guy. The old man stared at Brando, as if if the young lord didn't give him an explanation, then he would let this guy know that he, a master craftsman, also had his own temper!

And he has a bad temper!

But Brando's face seemed calm, not even the slightest change. He was just a little surprised when Beru first got angry. He didn't expect the old man to be so angry, but after hearing what the latter said, the young man laughed.

"As for getting so angry, Master Bolu?" He shook his head.

"You can still laugh, you'd better give me an explanation, damn it!" the old man replied angrily: "Otherwise I will give you an explanation today!"

"How are you going to give me an explanation?" Brando crossed his arms and asked calmly.

When the two started arguing, they seemed to have forgotten Tajib. Of course, as for our Mr. Mordenkainen, he was forgotten in the corner from the beginning.

"I, I'm on strike!" The old man jumped.

"Okay, okay, calm down," Brando shook his head: "Master Belu, you are the chief craftsman of the kingdom. You still can't see whether this set of armor can work?"

"It is precisely because I am the chief craftsman of the kingdom that I have to stop your irresponsible behavior!" the old man said angrily, but he still glanced at the caveman chief beside him - he was responsible for his own actions The armor he created was quite familiar, but just by looking at the caveman, he knew that there was nothing wrong with Brando's design.

It looks slightly larger.

However, Tajib calls himself a witch doctor, so the warriors among the cavemen are obviously stronger, and this armor must fit exceptionally well. As for some individuals with unusual physiques, they probably only need slight modifications.

Seeing this, Beilu's anger involuntarily subsided, and he became a little surprised. Drawing out design drawings and completing finished products based on experience alone requires at least several decades of forging experience, and even he may not be able to do it himself. The old man glanced at Brando and wondered whether this young man was a deep-seated person. A master who hides everything?

However, he didn't believe this speculation at all, but asked with some lingering anger: "You didn't make this thing, did you?"

Brando nodded. He was too embarrassed to steal other people's work: "This is the design of a friend of mine. He is very knowledgeable about cavemen." Of course, as soon as he said it casually, the caveman Elache became his. friend.

So at this time, someone who was still far underground in Qiaogendigang couldn't help but sneeze.

"That's pretty much it." Brando satisfied his speculation, and the old man stopped pursuing it. He said: "It's best not to play this trick on me in the future. This kind of surprise should be left to you young people. , my old bones can’t stand your tossing a few times.”

"You are serious," Brando replied with a smile: "How could this happen? I didn't mean it. Master Belu, you are now the most valuable asset in my territory."

"This is just a temporary job -" the old man groaned, not forgetting to remind Brando of this fact. However, the compliments from the young man's mouth still made him feel comfortable.

Brando shook his head, and then said to the caveman chief on the side: "How about it, Tajib, are you willing to accept this gift?"

Tajib hesitated, and while Brando was talking to Belu, he touched the armor. Due to the lack of eyesight, the caveman is more sensitive to touch and hearing than ordinary people. Although he only felt it roughly, he was already sure that the armor was tailor-made for his tribe.

It is a little excited, but it also knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch. The caveman hesitated for a moment and asked: "Sir...conditions?"

Brando nodded.

He was very satisfied with Tajib's reaction. Of course, he couldn't give the caveman five hundred sets of armor for nothing. Although the caveman and the fir leader could be said to be in a mutually beneficial relationship, this was not enough.

"The conditions are very simple." Brando replied, then he lowered his voice, lowered his body and said something to the caveman chief.

Tajib was stunned for a moment, then hesitated, but finally nodded.

"make a deal."
