Chapter 65 Return to Hillwood Town



In Shanlin Town, in the blacksmith Carles's blacksmith shop, four people gathered at this time - Chahar, the steward of Shanlin Castle, the blacksmith Carles and his son Bal, and Ram, the son of carpenter William.

After spending so many days, Kalus had completed the forging of the plowshare of the curved plow. At the same time, after reporting to Chahar, he invited William's son, Ram, a carpenter apprentice, to come and help, and completed the forging of the plow body of the curved plow.

Why didn't they find William, a carpenter with better skills? William was really busy these days. Kalus had tasks assigned by the lord, and so did William.

Moreover, working with black ironwood is really hard work, which is much more difficult than processing other woods.

If it weren't for Chahar's coordination, William would not have been willing to let his son come to help Carls.

“Done!”

With excited shouts, Kales finally completed the assembly of the curved plow with the help of Ram.

The plow tip, plow bed, plow wall, plow shovel, plow beam and so on are all available. Not to mention, if we take Ronin's drawings as a reference, Kallus and Ram have restored the curved plow to a very high degree.

“Hahaha~”

Kalus laughed loudly, walked to the side, picked up a jar of wine and took a sip, his cheeks flushed, "After so many days, I finally completed the task assigned by the lord!"

He was not only happy about this matter, but he was even happier about having made this plow.

Any craftsman, whether a blacksmith, carpenter or mason, looks at what he has completed as a work of art.

Not to mention that the curved plow was an unprecedented thing. Although it was created by the lord, as the first person to build it personally, it was enough for him to brag about for the rest of his life.

Bal and Ram could brag about this matter for the rest of their lives. One of them was a blacksmith apprentice and the other was a carpenter apprentice, and yet they were involved in making such high-end items. Just thinking about it made them feel like they were living in a dream.

Chahar looked left and right, up and down at the plow in front of him, his eyes shining with anticipation.

"Well done, Kalus. I think the lord will definitely praise your craftsmanship when he sees this curved plow!"

He fiddled with the plow tip. This plow was much heavier and more complex in structure than the light plows currently used in the fields.

"I wonder how it works. Will it be more effective than a light plow?"

They trusted Roning, but when faced with new things, they always had doubts in their hearts.

"How about we move out and find a cow to give it a try?"

The two young apprentices were eager to try, all they needed was one to move the plow body and the other to move the yoke.

“No, no, no!”

Kallus quickly stopped the two young men from doing this. "Don't mess around, you two brats. If you break it, we won't have time to get a new one before the Lord comes back."

The fire in the two apprentices' eyes died down.

Indeed, although the plow body was made of ordinary wood, Ram was only an apprentice carpenter and his skills were not very solid. With the help of Bal, it took him many days to complete the plow body. If it was broken, he really didn't know how to explain to the lord.

Chahar pondered for a moment, "According to the time, the master has been away from the territory for more than half a month, and it is almost time for him to return from the Horse Herding City."

Although Luo Ning told Chahar before leaving that he might be away for a long time, he didn't expect to be away for so long, which made him more and more anxious.

He had just taken on the position of butler, and although he had been extremely busy these days, he felt very happy as if a new life had begun.

If the lord suddenly passed away, it would be a truly painful thing.

"Let's not touch it yet."

Chahar decided: "When the lord comes back, we will show it to him. Maybe he will give us some suggestions for revision."

"Mr. Butler is right!"

Kallus agreed very much: "It is better to wait for the Lord to take a look first."

At this moment, a guard ran over quickly, "Mr. Butler, the lord is back!"

"You're back?"

"We're almost into town."

The guard replied, "My Lord asked us to inform you and Mr. Political Officer to come over quickly. He has something to arrange."

“Okay, okay!”

Chahar hurried out, and before leaving, he turned back and told Kalus, "Look at it first, and make some improvements first. I'll report to the master later, and see when he has time to take a look at the curved plow."

Kalus and the other two quickly agreed, feeling nervous.

The master is back and is going to inspect their work. Although the master is kind, they will be in trouble if he is not satisfied.

"Come on, polish the plow blade smoother!"

Kallus called out and continued polishing with two apprentices.

Not to mention what happened in the blacksmith shop, at this moment Roning was leading the caravan and slaves slowly across the boundary marker and returning to the town.

When he came back for the second time, Roning felt like he was back home. This land belonged to him.

The team slowly walked through the simple and dilapidated Mountain Forest Street (the road that passes through the town center and leads directly to the Mountain Forest Castle). The shop owners along the street, the occasional passing farmers and serfs recognized the lord this time and began to salute in the direction of Ronin, while calling out to his lord.

More than half a month had passed, and the fact that Luo Ning was the lord of Shanlin Town had been known and accepted by all the people in the town.

Roning was riding on his horse, with a friendly smile on his face as he greeted the people who saluted him, behaving very approachably.

The slaves following behind the team were shocked when they saw this scene. In their opinion, the noble who bought them seemed to be really respected by ordinary people.

No wonder, no wonder they were fed well every day. Where can we find such a good noble lord?

Some slaves who have regained some ability to think even began to hypnotize themselves and work wholeheartedly for their masters.

Not long after, a figure rushed out from one side of the team. It was Chahar.

"Master, you are finally back!"

Chahar said excitedly, to be honest, he was shocked to see so many people just now, and he didn't understand what was going on.

"Long time no see, my butler."

Ronin greeted with a smile, "How's the castle doing?"

"Everything is fine at the castle. The squat toilet you requested before you left has been completely built!"

Chahar quickly replied, "Under David's protection, the castle has no problems. In addition, the curved plow over there by Kalus has also been completed. Everything is going smoothly!"

As he was speaking, Political Officer Wilson rode over on horseback, dismounted in front of Roning and saluted respectfully, "Lord Roning, welcome back!"

"Long time no see, Mr. Political Officer."

Luo Ning greeted him in the same amiable way, "How have you been lately?"

"Don't worry, sir. I have already taken care of the division of the town into villages and groups. I can report to you anytime you like!"

"very good!"

Luo Ning praised them and pointed at the hundreds of slaves behind him. "We'll report later. These people are the slaves I bought from the Horse Herding City. Now I need you and Chahar to work together to settle them down, provide them with food and shelter, and also register their information, just like the previous census."

Wilson and Chahar simultaneously glanced back and forth at this group of people who seemed to be in good condition. They did not expect that these people were slaves. Their mental state was too good.

Chahar and Wilson bowed and said, "As you wish, sir!"

Sorry, the timer was set to 8 o'clock tomorrow night. Fortunately, I just saw it.
