Chapter 156 Short Rifle

"Very good, Bernard, I love it!"

After checking all the details of the musket one by one, Gervis praised Bernard with great satisfaction. At the same time, Gervis tried to pull the trigger of the musket. With a click, the firing pin on the side of the musket instantly fell off and hit a raised slot integrated with the musket barrel.

It is worth mentioning that because this improved musket does not need to rely on a matchlock for ignition, the firing pin of the musket is much smaller than that of a matchlock gun, and is about the same size as the firing pin of a modern pistol on Earth.

"As long as you are satisfied, Lord, this is the leather case on your drawing!"

Bernard did not show any joy when he heard Gervis' praise, just like when Gervis was dissatisfied with the mask just now, Bernard did not show any fear. He just thought Gervis was an ordinary employer.

Gervis was accustomed to Pat's indifferent expression. He praised Bernard only because he was really satisfied with Bernard's craftsmanship, so when Bernard took out the holster, Gervis couldn't wait to take it.

Since it is a short musket, it certainly needs a holster for easy carrying, so Gervez deliberately added two more holster styles on the drawing. The holsters are made of thick cowhide. One holster can be worn around the waist, and one holster can be placed under the armpit. The two holsters can be used in different situations.

Gervis casually inserted the musket into a holster and put it in easily. Then he fixed the leather mouth and shook it vigorously in his hand a few times. The musket was firmly fixed in the holster and did not move at all.

“Not bad, haha!”

"Bernard, I have a hunting event in two days, I hope you can come and watch it!"

Satisfiedly putting the pistol and holster directly around his waist, Gervis suddenly raised his head and spoke to Bernard.

"Hunting? Warcraft?"

Bernard did not immediately say no to Gervis's unreasonable request, which specifically asked him to go on the hunt, because he felt that since Gervis could say it, he must have his reasons. He just frowned and waited for Gervis' next words.

"It's not a monster. If it was a monster, you wouldn't have to go with me! You know, I killed the second monster yesterday! It was an orc! I asked you to go just in case. After all, I have never seen a real orc. If something goes wrong, it might threaten the safety of my territory!"

Gervis shook his head at Nashen. In fact, he didn't want to disturb Bernard's life. After all, Bernard had not pledged allegiance to him and didn't owe him anything. It was a bit unfair for Gervis to make such a request to Bernard, but Gervis really couldn't wait to see what the orc he had been longing for looked like and how strong he was.

In Gervis's territory, besides Bernard, there is only Brian, the alchemist. Poor Brian only has the strength of a mid-level knight, but has never learned any martial arts. If it comes to a life-and-death battle, even Gervis can kill him in seconds.

Moreover, Bernard is a Silver Knight, so he is the safest choice.

"Orcs? It's not even winter yet! Where did the orcs come from?"

Hearing Gervis' words, Bernard's brows suddenly relaxed and he looked at Gervis with a puzzled look.

"Haha! Bernard, before yesterday, I would have asked you the same question, but a guest came to my castle yesterday. It was none other than the Lord Baron Pat from next door..."

Gervis smiled slightly. It was obvious that although Bernard was also a descendant of the nobility, he had never heard of the function of the purple elf worm. So he repeated the information he got from Pat yesterday to Bernard.

"I have built a cage on the cliff by the sea. I will open the space of the purple elf bug there and let my subordinates see the orcs and learn how to fight. Alex will also go there, just in case, so I need you, Bernard, to go there!"

"There are actually magical insects like the purple fairy insect. I am so ignorant!"

After listening to Gervis' explanation, Bernard was also shocked. Before the Iron Hammer Family was targeted by the church, they also had many elf bugs, especially golden elf bugs. However, he had never heard of any rumors that could open up an orc space. But now Bernard also knew why Gervis asked him to go.

"My Lord, since you have spoken, I have no reason to reject your request. I just want to tell you one thing. I will never take action unless it is absolutely necessary, even if your subordinates are killed or injured. After all, the power of the church is omnipresent. Once my cultivation is exposed..."

Before Bernard could finish, Gervis interrupted him and said to him in an affirmative tone: "Bernard, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I asked you to go just in case. Even if my subordinates suffer heavy losses, as long as the safety of the territory is not threatened, you are free to choose whether to take action or not!"

These subordinates are very important to Gervis, but Gervis also knows that when they embark on this road, casualties are inevitable. If casualties can be avoided, Gervis would certainly be happy to do so, but since it is a battle, it will be cruel and bloody. Without the cleansing of blood rain, these subordinates of his can never be called a strong army.

In order to protect his precious subordinates, Gervis will train them hard in the next few days. With such sophisticated equipment and strict training, this is the only thing Gervis can do. In this world, fights of all sizes are happening anytime and anywhere, and the only way to survive is to rely on oneself.

"In that case, Lord, as you wish, you can always notify me before you leave!"

Having said this, Bernard no longer had any concerns. From what Gervis had just said, the number of orcs in the elf bugs was limited and generally did not pose much of a threat, so he basically did not need to take action on this trip. Moreover, his son Alex would also go to participate in the battle, so Bernard would definitely go as well after learning about this.

"Very good, Bernard!"

Nodding with satisfaction, Gervis turned his attention back to the weapons and equipment in the room. He took away the long musket and triangular spike for his own use, and then he continued to speak to Bernard: "I will go out and ask the guards to come in to get the equipment. You can come to the castle later to get the forging fee!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Normally, Gervase would leave the payment to Thomas, but now Thomas was leading the caravan to Winterfell, so Bernard needed to go to the Golden Castle by himself. After Anna counted the quantity and price of the weapons and equipment, she would pay Bernard.

"Thank you for your generosity, Lord!"

Bernard certainly had no doubt about Gervis's character, so he immediately bent down and said something polite out of habit.

"hehe!"

Gervis shook his head helplessly at Bernard's respect. If Bernard had not revealed it to him on his own initiative that day, he would never have guessed that he actually possessed the strength of a Silver Knight.

However, Gervis also admired him very much. In order to let Alex live a stable life, a titled knight was willing to live the life of an ordinary person.

Thanks to the book friend "Blame Myself" for the reward!!!
