Chapter 137 Is there such a good thing? (Two chapters in one)
Knight Lloyd, who had originally planned to mention the blacksmith shop in one sentence, smiled and said, "That's right, let's go and have a look together."
"Ryan, Perez and I are very fond of sophisticated weapons and armor. But we don't know much about their production process."
As expected of Knight Lloyd, who is also the butler of the manor, his words make people feel like spring breeze.
Behind the three people, the head maid Shadiya, who had followed 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?
Ryan has entered the extraordinary and become a formal 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.
He has obviously become 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 Shadiya 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 Shadiya.
Ryan didn't expect that it would be such a coincidence that he met Shadiya 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 hit him, 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 fifteen or sixteen 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 four-meter-high cylinder similar to a blast furnace.
This made Ryan slightly happy.
The larger the scale, the larger the special ore 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 had 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?" The strong man with a full beard said.
"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, Lord 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 ordinary people is considered to be 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 forger, sword forger, etc.
As an armor forger, Snell naturally deserves the title of "Sir" by Ryan.
"Snell, then take us around." Lloyd said with a smile.
"Yes, sir!"
At this time, the blacksmith Barr, who was forging horseshoes, 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 that he had taught before, and even the name is the same!
However, 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.
Now that I think about it, the young boy Ryan is still very talented in trimming hooves and nailing horseshoes.
It's just that some time ago, he heard that the other party no longer participated in the child servant training.
It's a bit of a pity!
If he continues to participate, he should have a great chance of passing the servant assessment and becoming an apprentice to the manor blacksmith.
Thinking of this, Barr shook his head slightly and continued to forge the horseshoes attentively.
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 is about 70 to 80 square meters. As soon as Ryan entered, he saw at least a dozen kinds of special ores that he couldn't name at all placed on the multi-layered wooden shelves.
In addition, there were various high-quality, melted metal ingots piled on the ground.
Seeing Ryan walk to the shelf where special ores were placed on his own, and seemed to be attracted by the special ores in front of him, Snell felt very proud and happy.
These special ores were collected slowly by him through his connections in the industry.
Some of them were rarely seen even in the auction house.
Seeing Ryan pick up a piece and look at it carefully, Snell couldn't help but feel a sense of recognition!
That is, the things he cherished were 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. It 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, system prompts appeared one after another like a screen refresh:
[Your skill ore identification has been improved, experience value +19]
[You have learned to identify the special ore igneous rock ore, 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, blacksmith professional experience value +7]
[Congratulations, your skill ore identification has been improved to level 2]
Here it comes! Here it comes! It's here!
Suddenly, the smile on Ryan's face became even brighter!
The purpose of coming to the Habsburg Manor to attend the dinner was to complete a small task.
Suddenly, Ryan's mind had more fragmented memories, as if he had studied these special ores for several months and was very familiar with the characteristics of these ores.
Ryan had just digested these fragmented memories for a while when 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, another wave of fragmented memories about ore identification came.
This made Ryan really feel what it means to "listen to your words and read 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 were several types of special ores, all of which were 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 knowledge of metals 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 properties of the alloy.
Ryan felt that he had grasped a clue. Facing all kinds of 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 twice, and shout "Comrade! Let's fight for the forging career together for a lifetime!"
After introducing the raw ore 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 less 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 or so. According to a rough estimate, 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 in the gap between Snell's introduction.
"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 obscure way.
Obviously, these blood-marked steel ingots should have been arranged by Knight Lloyd, but before Ryan could continue speaking.
Knight Lloyd smiled and said, "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 an 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 skills recently. I plan to forge a war hammer, so I need some blood-marked steel."
Since the blood-marked steel was already in hand, Ryan generously told Lloyd about his use.
"Huh? Ryan, have you been practicing hammer skills recently?" Perez was obviously surprised to hear this answer.
He had planned to discuss Giant Bear Swordsmanship with Ryan after the dinner, but he was naturally a little puzzled to hear that Ryan did not use his excellent swordsmanship talent and instead practiced hammer skills.
"Yes, Perez, you will learn more skills. When you really fight, you will naturally use the big sword as the main weapon." Ryan explained with a smile. 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 still hoping to learn hammermaking from Lagre and improve his blacksmith professional level. Naturally, he would not choose to go to the county city to make a war hammer.
Before coming, Ryan 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 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?
Isn't the melting point much lower than that of an iron hammer?
Ryan recalled his knowledge of chemistry from his previous life. 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 was 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 to the blacksmith shop, Knight Lloyd suggested going directly to the banquet hall, and Ryan naturally agreed.
This trip was already 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 positions on both sides of Lloyd, respectively.
Apart from 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 eating, because the three of them were human knights, they had a huge appetite.
Soon, half of the food on the table was eaten by the three.
At this time, Knight Lloyd wiped the corner of his mouth with a white napkin and said, "Ryan, the last time we were in the church in Shining Gold, you demonstrated the Giant Bear Sword Technique, right?"
When Ryan heard this, his eyes moved slightly, 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, enticement, or something else in the future.
Because if he were Knight Lloyd, he would suddenly find that the child servant who was still training in the manor a few months ago had suddenly entered the extraordinary, and he would definitely want to know clearly.
Ryan did not intend to hide 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 Technique 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 technique 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 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 is too late for Lord Count, 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 getting closer in attitude. He
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 it 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 swordsmanship, but also had superb skills in one-handed hammers.
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 let me and Ryan exchange giant bear swordsmanship first."
"As for exchanging hammer skills, let's talk about it later." The talkative 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 in the evening."
Ryan also silently added a sentence in his heart, "I hope you two don't feel tired in the evening."
After the dinner.
Indoor training ground in the castle.
In the center of the ground, Ryan and Perez both stood with their fine steel swords.
The next second, Ryan quickly stepped forward, and the sword in his hand drew a semicircular arc like lightning, and chopped down at Perez at a 45-degree downward angle!
Perez on the opposite side made almost the same move and chopped down at the same time.
"Dang!!"
The ear-piercing sound of metal clashing rang out.
The two men separated quickly.
With just one blow, Ryan felt that Perez was about the same strength as him, and was an evenly matched opponent.
Of course, this was without activating any skills.
Then, the two men fought again.
"Ding Ding Dang Dang!"
The two men fought faster and faster, and soon, there were only two blurry shadows fighting quickly on the field.
"Dang!!"
After a heavy fight, the two were both blown away.
Ryan and Perez did not activate the "Limit Breaking" or use any secret skills, just a regular fight.
After all, if you go all out in the first fight, it won't be a friendly competition.
Ryan glanced at the system prompt:
[Your skill Giant Bear Swordsmanship has been improved, experience points +56]
[You have experienced a battle, Knight (Super) experience points +17]
Not bad!
Steadily improving.
Do you think the experience points are too low?
It's safe, and you can do it multiple times!
With a physique of 18 points, Ryan and Perez almost didn't feel any fatigue after the short competition.
In other words, Ryan can fight in turns.
He fights two people in a row!
After watching Ryan and Perez's competition, Knight Lloyd was a little impatient.
"Ryan, how is it? Do you need a break?"
"No, Knight Lloyd, then I'll use a war hammer!" Ryan walked aside and picked up a iron and wood hammer.
"Of course."
Lloyd and Perez were also quite curious when they heard that Ryan was really going to use a war hammer.
The purpose of Lloyd's competition with Ryan was actually very important, which was 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. In
a luxurious mansion in Meister County City.
In the dim underground hall.
A slender knight carrying a "sickle"-shaped weapon on his back 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 incident in Shining Gold Town has made them passive." "
In addition, the cause of the disastrous defeat in Shining Gold Town has also been investigated. According to reliable information, it is still the new knight Ryan!" "
It is said that the opponent has an excellent talent for swordsmanship. 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~~~(`) Heart! Thank you~
