Chapter 137 Is There Such a Good Thing? (Two Chapters in One)

Knight Lloyd, who had originally intended to mention the blacksmith shop, smiled and said, "That's right, let's go and have a look together."

"Ryan, Perez and I are very fond of fine weapons and armor. But we don't know much about their production process."

Knight Lloyd, who is also the butler of the manor, speaks like a spring breeze.

And behind the three of them, the head maid Shadiya, who had been following them all the way, finally came back to her senses at this time.

Looking at Ryan, who was chatting and laughing with the two official knights, Shadiya always felt a little unreal!

How long has it been?

Has Ryan entered the extraordinary and become an official knight?

This speed is comparable to Miss Claire!

No, it's faster than Miss!

Shadiya focused her eyes on Ryan again and compared him with her impression of Ryan last time.

Obviously taller and stronger.

Inadvertently, Ryan walked beside the 1.9-meter-tall Knight Lloyd, and there was not much difference between them. It seemed that Ryan's height was already over 1.8 meters.

Moreover, Ryan's arm muscles, broad shoulders and thick chest that he showed from time to time, it was no exaggeration to say that he was an adult!

The more he looked, the more surprised Xia Diya was!

Ryan certainly noticed the frequent gazes from the head maid behind him.

He knew that the other party must have a lot of questions at this moment, but now was obviously not a good time to talk to Xia Diya.

Ryan didn't expect that it would be such a coincidence that he met Xia Diya as soon as he entered the castle.

Originally, he was thinking about using up the remaining black tung oil and then chatting with the other party about his entry into the extraordinary.

At this time, under the leadership of Knight Lloyd, Ryan entered the blacksmith shop of the castle.

As soon as he entered the blacksmith shop, a wave of heat came to his face, and the sound of ding-dong ... Ryan took a quick look and found that there were three blacksmiths making weapons, armor and daily necessities, and there were about 15 or 16 blacksmith apprentices and helpers.

In terms of scale, it was three to five times the size of Borris's blacksmith shop in the town of Shining Gold.

In addition, the entire blacksmith shop was about six meters high and looked quite spacious. The most eye-catching thing was a cylinder more than four meters high, similar to a blast furnace.

This made Ryan slightly happy.

The larger the scale, the larger the special ores he needed.

Ryan also saw an old acquaintance - the blacksmith Bal who was making horseshoes.

Seeing Knight Lloyd and Instructor Perez come in.

Everyone present couldn't help but raise their heads. Some of the work that could be put aside temporarily stopped, and some of those who couldn't stop also slowed down the forging speed.

Obviously, Knight Lloyd, as the person in charge of the manor, still has a very high prestige.

At this time, a strong man with a full beard threw the work in his hand to a blacksmith apprentice. Ryan noticed that the other party seemed to have just forged a plate armor gauntlet.

"Knight Lloyd, Instructor Perez, why are you two here?" said the strong man with a full beard.

"Snell, the protagonist tonight is not me, but this, Knight Ryan, the deputy sheriff of Shimmering Gold Town." Knight Lloyd introduced with a smile.

The strong man named Snell was obviously stunned and looked very surprised.

Obviously, he did not expect that the young boy in front of him was actually the guest tonight, and he had already entered the Knight Extraordinary.

"Ryan, this is Snell, who just passed the armor forger assessment of the Imperial Blacksmith Association."

"Hello, Sir Ryan! I am Snell." Snell bowed slightly.

Armor forger?

Ryan's eyes lit up immediately when he heard it.

"Hello, Lord Snell!"

The status of blacksmiths among civilians is extremely high, and armor forgers are the upgraded profession of blacksmiths.

Generally speaking, after being evaluated as a senior blacksmith, the skills are actually very superb, but if you want to further improve in the future, you need to choose a subdivided field and cultivate it in depth, such as armor forgers, sword forgers, etc.

As an armor forger, Snell naturally deserves the title of "Lord" by Ryan.

"Snell, then you can take us around." Lloyd said with a smile.

"Yes, sir!"

At this time, the blacksmith Barr, who was forging horseshoes on the side, looked at Ryan with a puzzled look.

The other party's face is very similar to the boy who participated in the child servant training he once taught, and even the name is the same!

But the difference in body shape is too big.

The status is even more different. One is the son of a farmer, and the other is the sheriff of Shimmering Gold Town.

Now that I think about it, that young boy Ryan was very talented in trimming hooves and shoeing horses.

It was just that some time ago, he heard that he had stopped participating in the boy servant training.

What a pity!

If he continued to participate, he should have a great chance of passing the boy servant assessment and becoming an apprentice of the manor blacksmith.

Thinking of this, Bal shook his head slightly and continued to forge horseshoes with his heart.

Soon, Snell led everyone to the area that Ryan was most concerned about - the storage room of the blacksmith shop.

"Sir Ryan, this is the storage room. We store some commonly used raw materials, such as iron ingots, flux, and special ores, etc."

The storage room was about 70 to 80 square meters. As soon as he entered, Ryan saw at least a dozen kinds of special ores that he couldn't name at all placed on the multi-layer wooden shelves.

In addition, there were various high-quality, melted metal ingots piled on the ground.

Seeing Ryan walk to the shelf where the special ores were placed on his own, he seemed to be attracted by the special ores in front of him, which made Snell feel very proud and happy.

These special ores were collected slowly by him through his connections in the industry.

Some of them are rarely seen even in auction houses.

Seeing Ryan pick up a piece and look at it carefully, Snell couldn't help but feel a sense of recognition in his heart!

That is, the things he cherishes are also cherished by others.

If the original introduction was more of a courtesy to the guests, Snell's introduction at this time was from the heart:

"Sir Ryan, this is star iron, with excellent hardness and toughness, and is an excellent material for sharp weapons. It is very good for making various daggers, long swords or two-handed swords."

"This is igneous rock ore, produced around the hot crater, and the output is extremely rare."

"This is bloodstone ore"

Snell, who has the title of armorer assessed by the Blacksmith Association, has far more knowledge in forging than the town blacksmith Boris. As the other party introduced, a series of system prompts appeared like a screen:

[Your skill ore identification has been improved, experience value +19]

[You have learned to identify the special ore igneous rock ore, and the blacksmith professional experience value +6]

[Your skill ore identification has been improved, experience value +21]

[You have learned to identify the special ore bloodstone ore, and the blacksmith professional experience value +7]

[Congratulations, your skill ore identification has been improved to level 2]

Here it comes! Here it comes! It comes!

Suddenly, the smile on Ryan's face became even brighter!

The purpose of coming to the Habsburg Manor to attend the dinner this time is considered to have completed a small task.

Suddenly, Ryan's mind had some fragmented memories, as if he had studied these special ores for several months and was very familiar with the characteristics of these ores in front of him.

Not long after Ryan digested these fragmented memories, the system prompt came again:

[Congratulations, your skill of ore identification has been upgraded to level 3]

This.

Just after absorbing and digesting the fragmented memories in his mind, as a result, another wave of fragmented memories about ore identification came.

This made Ryan really feel what it means to "listen to your words is better than reading ten years of books! '

Looking at these dazzling array of special ores, Ryan seemed to have discovered a big gold mine.

Ryan thought of the strange black flames of the Black Flame Church and the extremely hot high temperature damage.

Ryan also saw that there are several types of special ores, all of which are high temperature resistant materials.

After a little thought, Ryan felt that if he could prepare a set of high-temperature resistant knight plate armor suits by then, he would have an advantage in facing the evil magic attacks of the Black Flame Church!

Unfortunately, the price of these ores is too expensive.

It seems that he has to hurry up to make money!

In addition, based on Ryan's shallow metal knowledge from his previous life, he found that the research on alloys in this world is still at a very low level.

Before, he thought that the blacksmiths he saw were too low in level, but Snell was already an armor caster, and he was only at a very superficial experience stage for alloys, and there was no systematic research.

Alloys are substances with metallic properties synthesized by two or more metals and metals or non-metals through certain methods.

For example, bronze is a typical metal-metal alloy, which is composed of a certain proportion of copper and tin. The difference in proportion will also lead to great differences in the performance of the alloy.

Ryan felt that he had grasped a thread of the veins. Facing various strange and special ores, this is the real gold mine, but this is a huge project, and now is not the right time to carry out this work.

After Snell finished introducing these special ores, Ryan looked at the blacksmith profession panel and found that the blacksmith had been upgraded to level 3 (112/500), and the ore identification level 3 (27/500).

This speed is comparable to a rocket!

For Snell, every time he saw Ryan's face, sometimes thirsty for knowledge, and sometimes thinking hard and dazed, it made him very happy.

Although he didn't know how much this strange and young Lord Ryan liked forging, Snell was very impressed by his attitude.

So, this time, Snell introduced it more vigorously.

If Ryan knew Snell's thoughts, he would definitely hold Snell's hands, shake them vigorously, and shout "Comrade! Let's fight for the forging career together for a lifetime!"

After introducing the ore raw stones on the shelf, Snell began to introduce the neatly stacked metal ingots on the side.

"."

"This is a blood-marked steel ingot. It is a high-quality steel ingot made by melting iron ingots with a certain proportion of bloodstone ore. It has high strength and toughness and is suitable for forging blunt weapons."

Hey! Isn't this the blood-marked steel that Lagre mentioned!

Ryan picked up a piece. It was quite heavy in his hand. The density seemed to be only slightly lower than that of star iron.

Ryan carefully looked at the number of blood-marked steel ingots stacked together. He found that there were quite a few blood-marked steel ingots here, about twenty pieces. Roughly estimated, if he could buy half of them, it would basically be enough for him to forge a war hammer.

"Sir Snell, can you sell me some of these blood-marked steel ingots?" Ryan said while Snell was introducing them.

"This." Snell couldn't help but look embarrassed.

Although he wanted to do Ryan a favor, these blood-marked steel ingots had already been arranged.

Ryan keenly noticed that the other party glanced at Knight Lloyd beside him in a very subtle way.

Obviously, these blood-marked steel ingots should have been arranged by Knight Lloyd, but before Ryan could continue to speak.

I only heard Knight Lloyd say with a smile: "Since Ryan needs it, let Ryan use it first. Snell, it doesn't matter if my shield and armor are a few days late."

Ryan suddenly realized!

It turned out that these blood-marked steel ingots were used to forge equipment for Knight Lloyd, no wonder!

Ryan had the impression that Knight Lloyd was good at sword and shield fighting. He had seen him holding a sword and shield several times. It seemed that he was a knight who paid more attention to defense.

"Thank you, Knight Lloyd. I'm practicing hammer recently. I plan to make a war hammer, so I need some blood steel."

Since the blood steel is already in hand, Ryan also generously told Lloyd about its use.

"Huh? Ryan, have you been practicing hammer recently?" Perez was obviously surprised to hear this answer.

He originally wanted to discuss giant bear swordsmanship with Ryan after the dinner, but he was a little puzzled to hear that Ryan did not use his excellent sword talent and instead practiced hammer.

"Yes, Perez teaches, one more skill, when it comes to real fighting, it is natural to use the big sword as the main skill." Ryan explained with a smile, and he naturally would not tell his real reason.

At this time, the armorer Snell said on the side: "Sir Ryan, do you need me to contact the hammersmith in the county city to help you make your war hammer?"

"Thank you Sir Snell, but I have already contacted a friend." Ryan declined Snell's kindness.

He was also hoping to learn hammer casting from Lagre and thus improve his blacksmithing professional level, so he naturally would not choose to go to the county city to forge a war hammer.

Before coming, Ryan had prepared 300 imperial gold coins, which was almost all of his wealth. After spending a full 280 gold coins to buy blood-marked steel ingots, it was almost all emptied out at once.

"This is the forging area. Senior blacksmith Basil is currently making a bronze war hammer." Snell continued to introduce.

Hey!

Bronze?

Doesn't that mean the melting point is much lower than that of an iron hammer?

Ryan recalled his previous life's chemical knowledge. Although he didn't know the specific melting point, he remembered that the melting point of bronze was definitely less than one thousand degrees, while the melting point of iron was about one thousand five hundred degrees.

The difference is extremely huge.

Ryan looked at the 'Scorching Touch' in his wizard apprentice (supernormal) panel again, and had a preliminary plan in mind!

Because Ryan preferred the blacksmith shop, he stayed a little longer. So, after the visit, Knight Lloyd suggested going directly to the banquet hall, and Ryan naturally agreed.

This trip has already yielded a huge harvest!

Habsburg Manor.

The restaurant on the first floor of the castle was brightly lit.

A rectangular dining table at least ten meters long was covered with a gorgeous tablecloth, and Knight Lloyd sat in the main seat in the center.

Ryan and Perez sat on the upper right and upper left of Lloyd's sides respectively.

Except for the three people, there were no other diners.

The maids who came and went were like a revolving lantern.

Although there were only three people dining, they were all human knights and had a huge appetite because they were extraordinary.

Soon, half of the full table of delicacies went into the stomachs of the three people.

At this time, Knight Lloyd wiped the corner of his mouth with a white napkin and said, "Ryan, the last time we saw you demonstrate the Giant Bear Sword Technique in the church of Shining Gold Town, right?"

Ryan's eyes moved slightly when he heard it, and he knew that the real show was coming.

Knight Lloyd invited him here, so it was impossible for it to be just a dinner party.

Before coming, Ryan had thought about this question.

Generally speaking, he judged that the other party would ask about the origin of his breathing method or sword skills, and how long he had learned them.

Of course, there might be goodwill, winning over, or something else in the future.

Because if he were Knight Lloyd, he would definitely want to know clearly if he suddenly found that the child servant who was still training in the manor a few months ago had suddenly entered the extraordinary.

Ryan did not intend to conceal the question asked by Lloyd, after all, he had already told Hamilton.

There is a saying, "When you tell a secret to one person, it means you have told the secret to everyone! '

"Actually, I learned the Giant Bear Breathing Method and Giant Bear Swordsmanship in the castle." Ryan also wiped the corners of his mouth with a white napkin and said with a smile.

Lloyd and Perez looked at each other in confusion, as if to say, how is this possible!

Then, the two looked at Ryan with burning eyes, waiting for the answer.

Ryan did not intend to keep it a secret, and said directly: "It was Miss Claire, who taught me the breathing method and swordsmanship."

"Hahaha!"

"So that's it!" Hearing this answer, Lloyd and Perez both laughed.

"Perez and I thought of many possibilities before, but after all, the Giant Bear Swordsmanship is widely spread throughout the empire. I didn't expect that you actually grew up under our noses." Lloyd smiled helplessly and shook his head.

"Lord Habsburg has also heard about you, and he has specially entrusted me to talk to you, and wants to ask if you are willing to become the Count's follower."

"But now it seems that it's too late for Lord Count, and you are now Miss Claire's man."

Ryan smiled and said nothing.

At present, only Ryan himself knows that he and Claire have not signed any type of follower contract so far.

After Ryan told the origin of the breathing method and sword skills, he obviously felt that Knight Lloyd was closer in attitude.

I only heard the other party say: "Ryan, you said that you are learning hammer skills recently, how about we communicate after the dinner?"

Hmm?

There is such a good thing?

Send to your door to be your own experience 'NPC'?

Ryan couldn't help but smile, and hurriedly agreed: "Of course, it's my honor!"

After a conversation, Ryan learned that Knight Lloyd was not only good at one-handed sword, but also had superb skills in one-handed hammer.

After all, in a battle between knights, whoever can break the other's "iron skin" first can be said to have won half the battle.

"Wait, Lloyd, we agreed that I should exchange Giant Bear Swordsmanship with Ryan first."

"As for exchanging hammer skills, let's talk about it later." The quiet instructor Perez suddenly interrupted.

Hey!

Is this a double happiness?

Ryan's eyes lit up when he heard it!

He really didn't expect that Lagre was unwilling to be his experience "NPC" during the day, and now two extraordinary experience "NPCs" appeared at night.

Tsk tsk, Habsburg Manor, it seems to be his blessed land!

Ryan hurriedly said: "Knight Lloyd, Instructor Perez, please stop arguing, we have plenty of time to communicate at night."

Ryan also silently added in his heart, 'I hope you two don't feel tired at night'

After the dinner.

The indoor training ground in the castle.

In the center of the venue, Ryan and Perez both stood still holding fine steel swords.

The next second, Ryan took a quick step forward, and the sword in his hand drew a semicircular arc like lightning, and chopped down heavily at Perez at a 45-degree downward chopping angle!

Perez on the opposite side made almost the same move and chopped down at the same time.

"Ding!!"

The ear-piercing sound of metal clashing rang out.

The two men separated quickly.

With just one strike, Ryan felt that Perez was about the same as him in terms of strength, and was an evenly matched opponent.

Of course, this was without any skills activated.

Then, the two men fought again.

"Ding Ding Dang Dang!"

The two men fought faster and faster, and soon, only two blurred shadows were left on the field fighting quickly.

"Ding!!"

After a heavy fight, the two were both blown away.

Neither Ryan nor Perez activated the "limit-breaking" or used secret skills, but just a regular fight.

After all, going all out in the first fight would not be a friendly competition.

Ryan glanced at the system prompt:

[Your skill Giant Bear Swordsmanship has been improved, experience value +56]

[You have experienced a battle, Knight (Extraordinary) experience value +17]

Not bad!

Improving steadily.

Do you think the experience value is too little?

It is safe, and you can do it multiple times!

With a physique of 18 points, Ryan and Perez almost did not feel any fatigue after a short competition.

In other words, Ryan can fight in turns.

He fights two people in a row!

After watching Ryan and Perez sparring, Knight Lloyd was a little impatient.

"Ryan, how is it? Do you need a break?"

"Not really, Knight Lloyd, then I will use a war hammer!" Ryan walked aside and picked up an ironwood hammer.

"Of course."

When Lloyd and Perez heard that Ryan really wanted to use a war hammer, they were also quite curious.

The purpose of Lloyd and Ryan's sparring is actually a very important point, which is to understand and evaluate Ryan's strength in detail.

Since Ryan is willing to show his hammer skills that he has never shown before, it is naturally the best.

——

At the same time.

A luxurious mansion in Meister County City.

In the dim underground hall.

The slender knight carrying a "sickle"-shaped weapon is respectfully reporting: "Master Priest, many nobles have sent us news in the past two days, asking us to pay attention to the impact and keep a low profile. The matter of Shining Gold Town has made them passive."

"In addition, the cause of the defeat of Shining Gold Town has been investigated clearly. According to reliable information, it is still the new knight Ryan!"

"It is said that the opponent's swordsmanship talent is extremely outstanding. It is precisely because of the opponent's superb swordsmanship that Ashim, Andrews and others were killed one by one. This point has also been confirmed by Baron Alonso."

"Huh? Or Ryan?"

"Relying on swordsmanship? Then find a suitable time and send an iron virgin puppet over to see if he can chop it! Hehe." A low laugh came from the shadows.

"As you command! Master Priest!" After hearing the words of the Master Priest, a smile appeared on the face of the Scythe Knight under the helmet.

It's the end of the month, I'm asking for your votes for next month~~~(`) Love you! Thank you~
