Chapter 2 Occupation [Blacksmith Apprentice]
The title of the first line of the page is four big characters: Blacksmith Apprentice lv1 (0/100), and below it are densely packed icons.
Except for the icon at the bottom that is lit up, the other icons are obscure. Even after Ryan widened his eyes and tried to look at it, he found that he couldn't see it clearly.
The icon that was lit up was the hoof repair skill just prompted.
The icon is in the shape of a rounded square, and the content is very vivid. The center of the icon is a hoof with the bottom facing up, and a black shovel pattern is painted on one side of the icon, which is lifelike.
There are also a few small words below the icon: Hoof repair lv1 (1/100).
However, Ryan is still a little confused.
It stands to reason that if repairing donkey hooves can trigger the occupation panel, shouldn't it trigger the veterinary occupation panel?
How come it triggered the blacksmith apprentice occupation panel!
Could it be that it is because the blacksmith who taught the servants the skill of repairing donkey hooves?
Or is it because repairing donkey hooves and nailing horseshoes in this world are all jobs done by blacksmith apprentices?
Ryan shook his head slightly, not understanding!
But no matter what, it's always good to be able to trigger the blacksmith apprentice profession panel.
What is the status of blacksmiths in the cold weapon era?
Those who understand will understand!
Ryan touched his chin, and a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Hey, Ryan, why are you grinning?" George on the side pulled him.
George has short yellow hair and the same skinny figure. He is Ryan's only best friend.
"Go, do you want to do another round? Now it's someone else's turn." George raised his chin and said.
Ryan thought for a while.
"Master Bal, I want another round!" Ryan turned his head and said to Master Bal in the surprised eyes of the servants.
Best friend George kept pulling his rags behind him, and whispered anxiously: "Ryan, did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?"
The next second, his voice stopped abruptly.
"Don't pull it, you can't wear it if you pull it again." Ryan lifted the rags that were almost strips of cloth and said.
Ryan's volunteering surprised Bal. After carefully looking at Ryan's expression, which didn't seem like he was joking, he nodded and said,
"Okay! That. Engels, you can go up next round."
Engels was the son of the town's tanner in the brown linen shorts.
When he heard that he could rest, he smiled and walked aside to chat!
Before leaving, Engels patted Ryan on the shoulder and said, "Be sensible!"
This was not considered a violation of the rules. After all, it was Ryan who proposed to do another round. Moreover, Engels' goal was to be a manor guard, not a blacksmith apprentice. He didn't even want to touch such a shitty job as repairing donkey hooves!
After working for a whole morning, Ryan reluctantly stopped to rest until he couldn't do it anymore.
This body is really too weak, otherwise, Ryan estimated that he could hold on a little longer.
He looked up at the panel. Although his hands were shaking from exhaustion at the moment, the full screen of experience points +1 still made Ryan feel as sweet as eating honey.
[You assisted in the work of repairing donkey hooves, and the relevant comprehension has been improved! 】
【Your skill of hoof repair is improved, experience +1】
【You focus on learning to repair donkey hooves for one hour, blacksmith apprentice professional experience +1】
【Your skill of hoof repair is improved, experience +1】
【Your skill of hoof repair is improved, experience +1】
Circle the key points, experience +1 and blacksmith apprentice professional experience +1, the two are different.
The speed of skill experience increase is much faster than that of blacksmith apprentice professional experience.
Looking at the skill - hoof repair lv (12/100), Ryan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
He gained 12 experience points in the morning. The speed of experience increase is really not slow!
After all, he only helped to hold the donkey's hoof, not to repair the donkey's hoof himself.
But
there are only a few dozen donkeys in Habsburg Manor.
Therefore, at most, he can repair the donkey's hoof for another day tomorrow, and the job of repairing donkey's hoof is over. If he wants to improve the skill of hoof repairing again, he will have to wait until next month or even the next month.
From this point of view, my hoof trimming skill can't be upgraded in the near future!
What's more,
Ryan glanced at the experience bar lv1 (2/100) at the bottom right of the four words "Blacksmith Apprentice" in the occupation panel.
The occupation experience has only increased by two points!
Could it be that the correlation between donkey hoof trimming and the occupation of blacksmith apprentice is too low?
Ryan sighed in his heart, it's a bit difficult!
"When will it be possible for the blacksmith apprentice to be promoted to the next level?"
"The assessment will be in three months. If I can't upgrade before then, the assessment will still be a failure!"
After thinking about it, Ryan turned the frame to the homepage again.
"Hey! The first page is the attribute panel?"
Name: Ryan Kalan
Occupation: Blacksmith Apprentice lv1
Constitution: 5
Strength: 4
Agility: 6
Spirit: 8
(Note: All attributes of ordinary adult males are 6.)
"Strength is only 4 points. Amazing, really a thin dog attribute! No wonder it can't even hold down a donkey's hoof!" Ryan sighed helplessly.
The highest spirit is 8 points, higher than ordinary adults. Could it be because of the fusion of himself and his original body?
"Ryan, let's go, stop being in a daze! Let's go to lunch." George, a close friend on the side, called out.
"What's wrong with you today? Why are you always in a daze?" George asked with concern.
Ryan smiled slightly and said casually: "Maybe after the injury, I have too many random thoughts. Let's go and eat!"
George was stunned. Thinking about it, he would also often have random thoughts sometimes!
What's more, Ryan, a close friend, was given by the donkey to
the Habsburg Manor. The treatment of the child servants is still relatively good, at least they can get a relatively "rich" meal.
A piece of black bread, half a smoked fish and a large bowl of vegetable soup is the lunch of Ryan and other child servants.
Looking at these foods that did not arouse Ryan's appetite at all, the friends beside him began to swallow their saliva, and their Adam's apples kept moving up and down.
As a formal servant shouted, "Eat!",
everyone began to devour the food.
Ryan touched the brick-sized black bread. The rough texture and hard shell, wow! This brick must have been stained with black paint! He
tilted his head slightly, and the friends beside him had already begun to tear the black bread apart, and then crushed it again, and put it into the bland vegetable soup. After a while, it became a sticky vegetable soup.
Ryan nodded slightly. He knew this, similar to the way to eat naan.
After doing so, Ryan also swallowed it in big mouthfuls.
"Pah! There are wood chips in the black bread! It's really not something for humans to eat!"
Ryan was speechless. It was like the takeaway he ordered in his previous life. You never know what kind of meat you eat. This is already sad enough.
I didn't expect this world to be even worse. You can't even eat meat!
Ryan tried hard to swallow, but his thoughts drifted away.
"This servant training is a bit like the military training in my previous life, but it lasts much longer, three full months, and then comes the assessment that the original body has been thinking about."
"Although I have a panel in my hand, the current improvement speed is still too slow. If I want to pass the assessment and become a blacksmith apprentice, I have to think of ways to speed up."
"As for guarding? Of course I want to!! Holding a shield and a sword, a full set of armor, just thinking about it makes my blood boil!"
"But... I have never learned swordsmanship in my two lives combined, so I have to find an opportunity."
"But the current situation must be changed!"
Ryan glanced at his best friend George, only to see him staring at the side and front in a trance, as if he was looking forward to something.
Ryan followed his line of sight and saw a girl in a gray linen maid outfit, bending over to clean the table, with her slightly raised buttocks outlining an attractive curve.
It turned out that this attracted the boy's heart!
Suddenly, the original body's related memories emerged. The girl in front of him was named Sophia, who was about the same age as them and was also a servant in the manor.
However, the training content of the servants for girls is quite different from that for boys. Generally, they start with washing, cleaning and washing clothes.
Girls usually develop and become sensible much earlier than boys. At this time, Sophia can be regarded as a bud waiting to bloom!
Ryan looked around and found that Sophia attracted more than just George.
But for Ryan, who had been through a lot, the temptation of a maid outfit was nothing!
However, for a boy who was just beginning to fall in love and had excessive hormone secretion, this was a wonderful thing that could make him forget about food and sleep.
"George, what are you looking at?"
George was stunned, his face flushed, and he took the half piece of black bread in his hand and said, "No, nothing, Ryan, by the way, you have worked hard all morning, if you are not full, I will give you half of it."
"Are you sure you have enough to eat?" Ryan looked up at George and asked in surprise.
"I'm almost full, you can take it." George said against his will.
In fact, he could still stuff this little bit of black bread into his stomach, and he wanted to use it to shut Ryan up.
In addition, he felt that Ryan had just been injured yesterday and worked so hard today, so he still needed to replenish his energy.
Ryan nodded, and silently gave the "good guy card" to his best friend George in his heart, but he could only decline the black bread mixed with wood chips!
After a while, Ryan thought about it and felt that he still needed to remind his best friend, so he whispered without raising his head:
"George, even if you look at her a hundred times, she will not be yours! Use this time to think about how to pass the assessment. As long as you pass the assessment, she will be yours!"
George's face flushed red, and he looked around in panic for a few times before he said anxiously:
"Ryan, although we are best friends, we can't say anything. I didn't peek at Sophia."
"Hehe. I didn't say who it was. You said it yourself. Sophia."
George was dumbfounded. He found that after his best friend's brain was kicked by a donkey, he seemed to have become much smarter than before!
"Having your brain kicked by a donkey, there is still this benefit?!"
In the afternoon, a group of servants continued to learn how to repair donkey hooves.
After lunch, Ryan's physical strength was basically restored. Although he still had backaches, he looked at the experience value constantly jumping +1, +1.
Ryan was full of motivation!
However, before they had repaired a few donkeys in the afternoon, the servants saw more than 20 boys and girls coming to the center of the outer fort, with more boys than girls.
Although the age of that group of people looked about the same as Ryan and others, the men were tall and the girls were young, beautiful and well-dressed, just like the masters of the castle.
When the other party got closer, Ryan's original memory told him that these people were the descendants of some low-level nobles and wealthy businessmen under the command of Count Habsburg, and they were training as knights' squires in Habsburg Manor.
Because Habsburg Manor is only half a day's journey from the county town, and it takes less than an hour to ride a horse, Habsburg Manor is the origin of the Habsburg family, so it is a tradition to train knights' squires here.
Ryan looked back at the rich second-generations beside him. After a long time, it turned out that these were all "fake second-generations"!
Those were the real second-generations!
The outer castle ground is a large area in the castle surrounded by fences or walls. It is usually used as a training ground for knights, squires and guards. Of course, sometimes a small area is opened up for other purposes.
In other words, these servants are the cuckoos occupying the magpie's nest. The outer castle ground was originally the training ground for the real second generation.
"Pa!"
"Ouch!"
A servant who was staring at the real second generation was slapped on the head by Bal.
Bal said disdainfully:
"Don't be envious, you little bastards. They are born at a level that you can never reach no matter how hard you try in your life!"
"You guys! Learn a skill, and you will live a comfortable life in the future."
The words are rough but the truth is true!
Ryan agreed with Bal's statement. In this era, it is almost unrealistic to achieve class advancement. If the child servants can learn one or two skills, they will have the foundation for their livelihood.
Hey!
Ryan's pupils shrank, as if he saw something incredible.
