Chapter 50 Carpenter William

Butler Chahar chose the northeast corner of the outer castle as the location for the squat toilet.

This place is far from the gate of the Shanlin Castle, separated from the inner castle by a wall, and a long distance from the main building where Roning lives, so there is no need to worry about the smell drifting over.

After getting along with him for these days, Chahar knew the master's cleanliness, such as taking a bath every day, washing and changing clothes every day, etc., which is even cleaner than some noble ladies.

But Chahar didn't think it was strange.

Every noble has some unique hobbies, and a quiet hobby like Roning is very easy to serve.

Dig a pit, place a pottery jar, and then put up a wooden board, and the simple squat toilet was built.

But there is no time to build a shed today, so it can only be an open-air squat toilet.

Roning took a quick look and nodded to accept it.

This primitive squat toilet does not require much technical content. With the detailed drawings he drew, ordinary people can build it accurately.

"Basically it's like this, but the jar is a little smaller."

He gave Chahar suggestions for improvement: "There are more than 20 servants in the castle, you have to ask that Kales to make a few larger jars. Or you can see if there are masons who can dig a large, leak-proof pit on the ground to replace the pottery jar. As long as the manure water does not leak out, it can meet the requirements."

There is no cement here, and Ronin doesn't know if there is any material that can replace cement to seal, so he chose the jar at the beginning.

"Okay, sir!"

Chahar wrote down this suggestion, "I went to the blacksmith shop to ask in the afternoon. Kales promised to make a larger pottery jar, but he just needs time."

It is not difficult to make a pottery jar. Even ordinary people make some small pottery jars by themselves.

Ronin nodded, "It doesn't matter which method you use, or both. Anyway, there can't be only one or two toilets in the castle."

"Also, tell Carles that the castle will not seize the fruits of his labor. I hope he can make pottery jars with confidence and ensure the quality!"

This is a small matter. Ronin left the scene after explaining it, leaving Chahar here to think hard about what method can satisfy the lord.

But after all, he still couldn't imagine the scene of using manure water for fertilizer. Can people eat the vegetables grown in that way?

In addition, the master loves cleanliness while being obsessed with building toilets. These are two extremes.

But despite the doubts, Chahar still completed Ronin's orders meticulously, which is not contradictory.

"Let's go, let's go ask the town's masons." He said to the two servants beside him.

On the other hand, the butler Gallen came to the carpenter Uncle William's house with the guards.

The uncle was now directing his son how to build a cabinet.

When he saw Gallon and the guards coming, his face changed immediately.

The news of Princet's betrayal of the lord had already spread, and even those paralyzed people in the town knew a little bit, and so did William.

For this reason, he had been hungry, sleepless, and restless for the past few days.

He was afraid that he would be held accountable by the lord for accepting Princet's employment to build the castle cabin, saying that he was in the same group with the betrayer.

He once thought about taking his wife and son away from Shanlin Town, but finally gave up.

Although William's family was a free man, it was difficult to leave the place where they had lived all their lives in a hurry and live in another strange city.

Fortunately, after waiting for two days, he found that the lord had no intention of holding him accountable for his crimes, and even sent the mysterious light magician Lord Elron to rescue the wounded everywhere.

He realized that the one in Shanlin Castle might be a truly kind lord.

But he didn't expect that what was supposed to come would still come, and the castle guards still came to his house.

When William saw this group of people, his heart instantly fell into a basin of cold water, chilling his heart.

"Sir, what are you doing?" He asked anxiously.

Garen was in a trance. He didn't expect that one day someone would call him sir. This feeling was really... very strange.

Sure enough, entering the castle to serve the lord was the right choice.

Although the other party respected him, Garen did not forget Ronin's instructions. He maintained a very polite attitude and even performed the etiquette he learned from Chahar.

"Uncle William, my name is Garen, and I am the servant of Baron Ronin of Shanlin Castle. I came here today to invite you to the castle. The master seems to have something to give you."

Hearing this, William's nervous heart calmed down a little. He still asked a little awkwardly: "I don't know what the lord called me to do?"

In response, Garen shook his head.

He didn't know Ronin's purpose, but thinking that the master had been experimenting with that piece of wood all afternoon and now looking for a carpenter, it might still be related to that piece of black iron wood.

But he learned a lesson from his mistakes, so he did not speculate on the information he was uncertain about.

"I'm not sure about this, you'll know when you come with me to the castle."

Gallen said, "The master is waiting for you over there, don't let him wait too long."

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment, I'll go to the castle with you now." William quickly turned around and picked up the tools for use.

Soon, Galen and the carpenter came to the outside of the main building of the inner castle.

After confirming that the lord did not want to punish him, William's mood improved. At this time, he looked at the main building in front of him, which he presided over, and a sense of accomplishment surged in his heart.

For a carpenter, there is nothing happier than looking at his masterpiece.

After waiting for a while, a figure walked out of the main building.

William immediately stood up straight, maintaining a respectful attitude.

Compared with the last time he looked at the lord's face from a distance on the grassland, he saw it more clearly this time.

The lord is worthy of being the son of a great noble. He looks so noble and handsome, and his temperament is so calm and elegant that people feel a sense of admiration and admiration as soon as they see him.

"Your subject, William, it's a pleasure to meet you, respected lord!" William saluted and greeted seriously.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Uncle William!" Roning was quite easy-going.

Such a title made the old carpenter opposite feel flattered for a while, and he didn't know how to reply.

"I asked you to come here today because I want you to see something." Roning said, and took William to the black ironwood tree stump.

"Is this a tree from the Black Forest?" Carpenter William recognized the source of the stump at a glance.

Roning raised his eyebrows, "Have you known about it?"

This question touched upon William's proud area, and he couldn't help but laugh, "Master, I'm not bragging, I've been to all the forests in Shanlin Town, and there's no wood I don't know about!"

Roning smiled and pretended to listen.

Regardless of whether the other party was bragging or not, he could recognize at a glance that this was a stump from the Black Forest, which made him look up to William.

"The trees in the Black Forest are very hard. At first, Princet wanted to use them to build this house, but it was too troublesome to cut them down, so he didn't do it in the end."

"Since it can't be used as a material to build a house, the woodcutters don't want to take the trouble to cut them down and burn them at home. Over time, we don't pay much attention to the Black Forest."

This surprised Ronin. He didn't expect that Princet had discovered the Black Forest a long time ago, and he didn't expect that after discovering it, he didn't understand the value of black iron wood.

This really made him pick up a bargain.

"Uncle William, the servants of the castle said that you have good skills, and I want to see it with my own eyes."

Ronin pointed to the tree section on the ground, "The hardness of black iron wood is enough to make chest guards, shields and attacking spears. I would like you to make a set for me."

William the carpenter was stunned when he heard this.

He has always thought that wood is used to build houses and make furniture. He never thought that it can also develop in the direction of armor and weapons.

Hearing what Luo Ning said, his mind suddenly opened up, and he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Master, you are really a genius!"

He looked at the tree stump on the ground, and he already had the image of armor and spears in his mind. He also believed that with the hardness of the black iron tree, the things made would definitely be useful.

William put away his eager heart to try and began to seriously think about how to make it.

"Master, it should be no problem to make the things you mentioned. But you know how hard the black iron wood is. It's really difficult for me and my son to cut it down and transport it home in large quantities!"

Black iron wood is not only hard, but also very heavy.

It's a bit difficult for an ordinary adult male to lift this tree stump that is more than one meter long.

Not to mention that William and his son moved it all the way back from the west.

"Don't worry about this. I will arrange manpower for you. You and your son should only put your physical strength into manufacturing, and don't waste it on carrying and cutting."

"In addition, you need to keep it a secret for me to make these things, and I will also pay you extra compensation."

When William heard that the lord not only did not force him to do voluntary labor, but was even willing to pay him, he was immediately moved and happy.

"Praise the lord, you are such a kind and open-minded lord!"

He said, humbly bending his waist 90 degrees: "William is happy to serve you!"

"Very good, I will make a reasonable salary and manufacturing plan for you."

Roning nodded and smiled: "Before that, you can take these tree sections back and study them carefully. It would be best if I can see the finished product as soon as possible!"

Thanks to the reward from Master Youye Hongyu, and thank you for the votes from all the masters~
