"Is that so?" Lei Te nodded, and then said: "This time I'm looking for you, in addition to giving you the materials of frost pine and snow vines, there is one more thing - to select blacksmith seedlings."
Under the surprised gazes of Franno and Laurine, Leiter repeated what he had said to Tadel, Coors, and Shireen not long ago.
"So that's how it is." Franno's eyes were full of surprise, and he muttered: "I understand, my lord, weapons and equipment are very important to us. In the short term, it seems that we don't have much demand for blacksmiths, but in the long run, Come down, the blacksmith must not hold us back.
I will go to persuade the students first in the afternoon, and see who is interested in this, and then I will tell the adults! "
Frano's cognition made Leiter very satisfied. Like him, they agree that the long-term development of blacksmithing should start now.
But he still asked: "Franno, when selecting candidates, we must pay attention to personal wishes.
External compulsion is far inferior to endogenous motivation, which can help people improve! "
"My lord, I will pay attention to this!" Franno nodded approvingly.
He knows how much interest affects people. Doing something willingly and tirelessly is quite different from being forced to do it.
Taking himself as an example, he never thought that his bow skills were outstanding, but because of his love for bow skills and his dream of becoming a ranger since he was a child, he persisted on this road and made achievements.
He couldn't imagine that if he hated the Archer Ranger as much as he hated Sword and Shield, would he be able to get to where he is today.
…
At night, the moon and stars are thin.
Tru and Willow walked side by side with the cool night breeze and came to the central square of the town.
Willow found a stone pier and was about to sit down, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a half-finished wooden house with an outline beginning to take shape in the southwest corner of the square.
Driven by curiosity, he stepped forward and took a closer look. It was empty inside, with only a few wooden brackets and leftovers of wood placed on the floor.
When I went out, I noticed the paper stuck to the wall, blown up by the wind and rolled up.
Willow stretched out his hand to smooth it and looked up.
Tru did not have this curiosity, but sat quietly tens of meters away, squinting his eyes to feel the coolness of the autumn night.
After waiting for a short while, he called out, "Willow, what's written on it?"
"Hey, it's good news! Our town finally has its tavern!" Willow hurried over with a happy face.
"You didn't lie to me?" Trud looked surprised. Although he asked subconsciously, he believed it in his heart.
"The notice is there, and it is written on it. If you don't believe me, go and read it yourself!" Willow pouted.
"Forget it... I believe what you said." Toru glanced at the signboard of "Iron Buddies Blacksmith Shop" in the northeast corner and said in a low voice: "I heard that our lord returned some time ago and brought a group of talents. It is estimated that The tavern and the newly opened blacksmith shop in the northeast corner are all related to this matter."
Hearing this, Willow was silent for a moment, sat next to Tru, looked up at the stars in the sky, and said, "Tru, what do you think about what Coach Franco said this afternoon?"
"I'm going to sign up for the blacksmith shop. As you know, I'm in my thirties, and I haven't been promoted to a formal knight yet. Alas, it might be a good choice to change my profession." Trudeau sighed and then said: "After all Before joining the guards of Deep Rock Castle, I was an apprentice in the blacksmith shop of my uncle's house. I still have a certain foundation for this, and it will be easier to pick it up again."
"That makes sense..." Willow nodded, looked at Tru again, and said, "I also want to be a blacksmith apprentice, why don't we apply together tomorrow?"
"You? Not!" Toru's expression changed, and he frowned and said, "My knight talent is poor, so I'll just transfer to a blacksmith. Your talent, among the students in the entire training ground, can be ranked first. Second, if you practice hard, you will have a better future, you shouldn't follow me to be a blacksmith!"
"After becoming a blacksmith, I can still find time to practice!" Willow looked straight at Tru.
"That's different! You may not know that becoming a blacksmith is not an easy task. You need to control the heat, the specific and subtle tempering strength, the wind force of the bellows, the judgment of the heating degree of the iron, the timing of fishing, etc. It's complicated. And you need to be proficient, it is impossible not to affect your knight training!" Trudeau said seriously.
Willow shook his head, "True, you also know that our territory currently lacks high-level blacksmiths. I have a clear understanding of my talent. Although I am not a genius, if I can become a first-level knight, a second-level knight, or even Higher, the equipment that can be forged has a higher upper limit.
Naturally, it can help the development of the territory forging business and lay the foundation! "
This sentence moved Tru, his frowning brows stretched out, his expression moved, and he said in a deep voice: "If...you think so, it's not bad!"
"By the way, when will you buy me the drink that you owed me last time?"
The topic changed unexpectedly, and Willow subconsciously turned his head to look at the tavern, "Well, I wanted to buy some beer from Uncle Maud, so I'll deal with it here in the square. But this tavern looks good, and it's about to open. you.
At that time, the blacksmith shop and the tavern were so close, I had the opportunity to come and drink every day."
Willow's mouth curled into a smile, and as he talked, he felt that the atmosphere was a bit off.
When he came back to his senses, he found that Tru was staring at him.
"Willow! I'm afraid this is your real idea?" Tru said angrily.
"Ha, just kidding, just kidding..." Willow smiled awkwardly and touched his head.
Time passed, and half a month passed.
During this period, Leiter had no important affairs at hand and spent time in meditation and magic training.
June 24th.
Rett trained on the training ground as always.
The ground of the training ground was full of spikes, gravel, and debris, but he was still concentrating on a huge boulder in front of him. With a twitch of mental power, he condensed a ground cone and left with a whirring sound!
a loud bang
The ground cone technique hit the centre of the boulder accurately, blasting out a burst of slag, which flew in all directions.
Rett stepped forward to take a look, the red dot marked by him in the centre of the boulder was accurately hit!
"That's right, the Cone of Earth's hits are quite accurate now, and it can hit wherever you point. It is indeed a magic inherited from the blood!" Leiter sighed in a low voice.
Immediately afterwards, he walked to the rubble-filled ground caused by the training just now and practised the quicksand technique.
The magic of quicksand, compared with magic such as ground stabbing and ground cone, does not have a high upper limit of casting. It only needs to accurately grasp the release area.
A yellow vortex was formed on the ground, and the gravel on the ground was attracted by the quicksand and buried underground.
When the quicksand technique disappeared, the ground returned to normal instead. It can only be said that killing two birds with one stone.
Dozens of minutes passed, and Leiter was sitting cross-legged in meditation, recovering the mental power he had just consumed.
The housekeeper, Sveta, was wearing a grey coat, and came hurriedly from outside the door, saying, "Master, as you mentioned before, Colton, the store manager of the Doton Chamber of Commerce in Twilight City, has arrived!"
Leite looked happy, stood up and said, "Where are they now?"
"When Dimixiu sent me the news just now, he said that he had just entered Young Eagle Town and was on his way to Deep Rock Castle!"
"Isn't it coming soon?" Leiter hurriedly left the training ground after hearing this and waited by Huishi Avenue.
The sound of hoofbeats and the sound of wheels rolling were mixed.
Leite saw in the distance that a convoy of more than 20 meters was slowly driving towards his position along Greystone Avenue.
A fat man was right in front of the team, riding on the back of a red and blue two-coloured horse, his body swaying slightly with the ups and downs of the horse.
Rett was attracted by the red and blue two-coloured horses and was very curious. He had never heard of this kind of horse before!
Colton got off his horse and greeted him with a smile: "We meet again, Sir Leiter!"
"It's good to meet you, Mr. Colton. Is this trip going well?" While Rhett was speaking, he couldn't help but glance at the back of the convoy from the corner of his eye. The blue metal boxes were loaded with a faint streamer, looking like It's very classy!
"All the way, there are not many people in Jinlun Kingdom who dare to take the idea of our Dalton Chamber of Commerce!" Colton spoke with confidence.
Leite smiled and said nothing, and asked instead: "Mr. Colton, how is the procurement of aquatic monsters? I have prepared ice crystal melon seeds for you here!"
Colton frowned, walked to the nearest carriage, patted the blue box, and made a dull sound.
"I brought forty-three-eye fire-marked fish, eighty megalodon scallops, sixty blue-backed crayfish, and fifty frost-shell crabs on this trip." Colton smiled and said, "Sir Leiter Still satisfied?"
"Of course! Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Colton." Leiter's eyes flashed brightly, he lifted the black bag hanging from his waist and said: "This is more than a thousand ice crystal melon seeds.
But I think... Before trading, should I check the number of aquatic monsters? "
Leite kept an eye out.
"Oh, if Sir Leiter doesn't say it, I will take the initiative to bring it up!" Colton looked at the bag of ice crystal melon seeds in Leiter's hand with a happy expression.
Under the leadership of Leiter, Colton led the team to the shore of Sun Lake.
The metal boxes enclosing aquatic beasts are specially refined by alchemy methods. Possess the basic ability to ventilate and replenish water sources to ensure that aquatic monsters will not drown and suffocate.
After checking the boxes, it was confirmed that they were correct. Under Leiter's instruction, all aquatic monsters were thrown into the Sun Lake, causing a splash of water.
As soon as you enter the lake, aquatic monsters such as three-eyed firefish, giant tooth scallops, blue-backed crayfish, and frost-shell crabs instantly become active and exude vigorous vitality.
They are generally several times larger than the original small fish and shrimps, but they can still shuttle quickly in the lake. Once they get into the water, they start to prey on the original fish and shrimp living in the water.
Megalodon scallops are quiet by nature. Although they move slowly, if any fish or shrimp accidentally swims to its side, they will be swallowed by the scallops in an instant.
Blue-backed crayfish and frost-shell crabs are a child with a pair of pincers. Although their combat effectiveness is at the bottom compared to monsters of the same level, they are more than enough to bully ordinary small fish and shrimps.
Only the situation of the fire pattern fish is a bit miserable, its little fireball is a joke in the water...
Can only rely on a big mouth to slowly swallow some unresponsive small fish.
"Sir Leiter, the nutritional requirements of aquatic monsters are higher than that of ordinary aquatic products. If we can regularly put some monster meat or water-type magic plants, the reproduction speed of these aquatic monsters can be accelerated to a certain extent." Colton looked at The broad circular lake one.
Leite nodded, he also knew this common sense. Whether it is monster meat or water-type magic plants, they are easy to obtain for him, and he doesn't take them to heart!
"Mr. Colton, is there any new progress in the situation along the Donglan Coast?" Leiter turned his attention to Colton.
Colton narrowed his eyes slightly, hesitated for a while, leaned in front of Leiter and whispered: "I do have some updated information here, but not many. It is said that some people on the East Blue Coast have offended the deep sea. It was only a seventh-order monster that caused such a big mess."
Hiss!
Leite was secretly frightened. The seventh-level monster is still an unattainable existence for him. It has already crossed the threshold of a high-level monster and has mastered infinite power!
The Duke of the Kingdom of Jinlun has at least level 7 strength!
He sighed and shook his head. In this way, it makes sense why there is such a tsunami along the East Blue Coast. If a seventh-order monster causes an outbreak, it is indeed beyond the control of ordinary people.
"Has the chaos in the East Blue Coast been settled?" Leiter couldn't help asking.
"It is said that it will be soon because Grand Duke Blue Diamond has already assembled his manpower to deal with this seventh-level monster." There was a touch of confidence in Colton's words, "Although the ocean is the home field of that monster, I heard that Grand Duke Blue Diamond has invited two seventh-level great magicians and three seventh-level sky knights who are bound to take down that monster!"
"Because the blood of that monster is very precious?" Leiter said thoughtfully.
Otherwise, it is enough to drive away a seventh-order monster. If you want to kill it in the ocean, the price you pay is not ordinary!
