Chapter 4: Donkeys and horses are inseparable
. In addition, the fragments seemed to have been tempered by thousands of hammers.
Since it was a fragment of the sword blade, Ryan could clearly see some fish-scale-like hammering marks.
Although it was hand-made, the layers of fish-scale patterns proved that the craftsman who made the greatsword had superb skills.
Ryan never underestimated hand-made. In his previous life, an eighth-level fitter made the shell of an atomic bomb. It was a true story.
It seems that even the forging method of this world is much stronger than he imagined.
"Change people!" Bal's shout instantly pulled back Ryan's scattered thoughts.
Wrapping this small fragment with a piece of rag, Ryan put it in his coat pocket.
Patting his butt and dusting off, Ryan stood up and stepped forward to continue pressing the donkey's hoof!

In the evening, after a hard day's work, Ryan returned to the dormitory of the servants. In order to facilitate management, the dormitory of the servants is a large dormitory.
There are more than a dozen people sleeping in a dormitory. Ryan and his best friend George are not in the same dormitory!
Naturally, the best middle position is occupied by the "pseudo second generation". Ryan and other boys sleep on the edge of the dormitory.
"Ryan! Hurry up, sweep the floor, wipe the bed board and the cabinet!" Thick Eyebrows said arrogantly. According to the regulations, he was responsible for cleaning today.
Ryan glanced at Thick Eyebrows and cursed in his heart, "Fuck! I'm tired all day, and I have to help you clean?!"
"What are you looking at! Hurry up, do you want to get beaten?!"
Thick Eyebrows raised his eyebrows, in an inverted eight shape, walked forward aggressively, and grabbed Ryan's collar.
Ryan was about to have a fight with him, but just as he stretched out his hand, he remembered that he had thin arms and legs, and was half a head shorter than Thick Eyebrow. If he started fighting now, he would definitely be in trouble!
He was thinking, "Damn, this is the school bullying version of another world! Wait! Just bear with it for two days, and then I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"
But what he said was, "Isn't it just looking for a rag? I'll do it right away!"
Thick Eyebrow heard it and looked suspiciously in the direction of Ryan's finger. The rag was indeed there, so he pushed Ryan and walked away with a curse!
Ryan picked up the rag and wiped more than ten beds, and then swept the floor, fetched water, and mopped the floor. After a series of busy work, he was exhausted!
While he was working, he was thinking about what the mechanism of the occupation panel was triggered?
The blacksmith apprentice was triggered before. Could it be because he was learning how to repair donkey hooves, so it was triggered?
But now, after sweeping, mopping and wiping the table for more than an hour, the professional servant has not been triggered.
Is it because there is no such profession as a servant?
Or is it because the sweeping time is not long enough?
After a day of tiredness, the servants have no interest in chatting. After a few simple chats, they all fell asleep.
Ryan, who was angry just now, tossed and turned, and couldn't fall asleep. His mind was in a mess.
Ryan was thinking about how to seek a quick change, because he didn't want to live like this anymore. He wanted to teach Thick Eyebrows a lesson!
Some ideas flashed through his mind, such as using his knowledge advantage to get a gunpowder formula to present to Count Habsburg?
After thinking about it, no!
According to the original body's memory, let alone the count, even the steward of the Habsburg manor is a big man with the title of knight, and a servant like Ryan can't get in touch with him at all.
Through the butler?
Let's not talk about whether the butler is reliable or not. Even if the butler will help him report to the higher levels, how can he, a son of a poor family, explain the source of his knowledge?
Moreover, if there is a mistake in any link in the middle, his life may be in danger. After all, money is attractive.
Since it is a supernatural world, force is naturally the most important!
Quickly find a way to upgrade and take the first step, this is the kingly way!
But speaking of force, that noble girl is really cool and beautiful!
Hearing others call her, it seems to be Miss Claire.
Is she the daughter of the earl's family? Or the daughter of another noble family?
Ryan couldn't help but think of the noble girl's heroic appearance in his mind. The hunting suit that fits the skin outlines the girl's exquisite figure, especially the tight buttocks.
In a trance, Ryan fell asleep unconsciously.
The next morning.
At dawn, the servants were called up to work.
Today is still learning to repair donkey hooves, but after today, the teaching of repairing donkey hooves has come to an end, and it will take until next month to repair donkey hooves again.
This makes Ryan a little anxious.
Damn, I finally got the golden finger, but the donkey hooves are gone!
"How about asking Master Bal directly and letting him fix it?"
Ryan looked at his thin arms and shook his head. He lacked experience and strength, and even if the other party agreed, he would probably not be able to fix the donkey's hoof. If
things went wrong, it would backfire.
Today, the True Second Generation did not come to the Outer Fortress for training, which made Ryan a little regretful.
After finishing another day of trimming donkey hooves, Ryan looked at the skill - Trimming Hoofs (32/100), and couldn't help but fall into deep thought, what should I do tomorrow?
Another day passed.
The next morning, it was still Bal, standing in front of the servants lined up in two rows, and said loudly:
"Today, we will learn to shoe horses! However, before shoeing horses, we have to trim horses' hooves."
Ryan couldn't hear the rest of the words.
Trimming horses' hooves?
This... should also be considered as hooves!
Ryan was slightly excited and quickly turned the transparent box to the second page and checked the skills again.
Hmm!
It says trimming hooves, but it doesn't say whether it's a donkey's hoof or a horse's hoof.
Moreover, judging from this lifelike hoof icon, it should be counted for both Perissodactyls.
Donkeys and horses are one family!
However, whether it works or not, we have to verify it.
After a while, Ryan and the other servants were taken to the northeast corner of the Outer Fortress, near the stable.
Looking at the tall horses in the stable, except for Ryan, the rest of the servants couldn't help but look bitter, which made the pseudo-second generation who were half a head taller than the donkey complain.
Obviously, donkey hooves are so difficult to press, and these horses' hooves that are a circle taller than donkeys are obviously more difficult to fix.
Of course, except Ryan.
Ryan is now looking forward to repairing horseshoes!
He can't wait to start the work of shoeing horses so as to verify his own guess.
After a while, the first horse was led out of the stable by Master Bal.
Judging from its size, it should be considered as a shorter one in the stable, but it is also a circle bigger than the strongest black donkey.
"This is a poor horse! Let's start with the poor horse first! Come on, the first group, Ryan and George, come up and press the horse's hooves first!" Bal roared with full energy.
Ryan and George immediately filed out and began to press the horse's hooves according to the master's requirements.
The master took the pre-made inverted U-shaped horseshoe and measured it on the fixed horse hoof. After estimating the approximate range of the shoe, he began to trim the horse hoof with a "click, click".
After feeling that the trimming was almost done, he nailed the horseshoe on the horse's hoof.
"The key to shoeing horseshoes is to first roughly measure the horseshoe on the horseshoe." At this time, Bal explained to the servants while gesturing.
Ryan saw clearly that there were seven holes on the horseshoe, and Bal nailed it seven times in total.
Every time the nail was hammered, the struggle of the horse would be more intense, and Ryan and the others would have to spend more effort to fix it.
After the nailing, Bal trimmed the rough edge again, which was considered to be the end of the horseshoe nailing work.
After pressing all four hooves of the horse, Ryan, who was sweating profusely, was suddenly stunned!
Just now, the system prompt came:
[You assisted in the work of repairing horseshoes, and the relevant comprehension has improved! 】
【Your skill of hoof repair has been improved, and your experience value is +4】
【You focus on learning horse shoeing for a quarter of an hour, and your professional experience value of blacksmith apprentice is +1】
Looking at the hoof repair skill whose experience value has increased again, Ryan was slightly excited.
Although he had expected that horse hoof repair should also increase experience, he was still a little excited when he really saw it.
More importantly, the increase in experience value this time was much faster than that of donkey hoof repair!
Ryan found that he seemed to have mastered the trick of rapid improvement.
Before, when he was repairing donkey hoofs, he focused on learning for an hour, and the professional experience value of blacksmith apprentice was +1
. But this time, after only a quarter of an hour, the professional experience value of blacksmith apprentice increased a little.
And now, the experience bar on the lower right of the four words "blacksmith apprentice" shows (8/100).
Ryan judged that this was probably because horse shoeing was more relevant than donkey hoof repair in the profession of blacksmith apprentice!
So the professional experience value given was more.
Although this was just Ryan's guess, he thought it should be roughly correct.
This made Ryan feel like a ray of hope had finally come to him.
"This is a sure thing!"
