Chapter 66: The Four Princes

"Mayor, you said Miss Cecily is a blacksmith?" Geralusanne couldn't close his mouth in surprise, striking iron is not only a technical job, but also a manual work, a woman striking iron, Jerosanne is the first time to hear of it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"A full-fledged blacksmith with skills passed down from his father." Snow was talking nonsense with a serious face. There's only one way to get Cecily to help make the musket and keep the townspeople from suspecting.

"You don't have to work this afternoon, take someone to build a blacksmith shop behind my room, and all the items you need are according to the standards of a normal blacksmith." Snow said, "I'm going to ask Cecily to help build an elaborate weapon. ā€

"What weapon? I can help too. Gerosan said a little unconvinced, he didn't believe that his skills would not be able to catch up with Cecili, a seemingly weak little girl.

"You really can't help with this for the time being, when the weapon is made, you can see it." Snow patted Geralesan on the shoulder and smiled, "Okay, hurry up and prepare, I hope Cecili will be able to start work early tomorrow morning." ā€

"Okay." Gerosan nodded, but in his heart he was already competing with Cecili. He couldn't finish without believing in the weapon that Cecily had forged. Of course, this will not be known until Cecily completes the weapon.

After arranging the problems of Cecili's studio, Snow slipped to Alina's room. Libar's medical skills are really not covered, and after only two days of medication, Alina can already get out of bed and take care of herself, and her complexion is much better.

"How does it feel?" Snow asked with a smile.

"It's good, it's recovered." Elena, perhaps thinking of the change of dressing Snow gave her yesterday, bowed her head slightly, and her tone was surprisingly gentle.

"That's good." Snow nodded, not knowing what to say for a while, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little ambiguous.

"That...... Thank you for the medicine. Elena bit her lip and looked at Snow and said.

"Thank you, if it weren't for you, I would have been bitten to death by a beast." Snow waved his hand and smiled, "By the way, did you find this thing when you controlled the beast in the mountains and forests?" ā€

Snow pulled out a handkerchief from his bosom and handed it to Elena, the brimstone Snow had pulled from the fur of the beast the night before.

Elena took the handkerchief, opened it, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it, looked up and said, "Where did you get this thing?" ā€

"It's called brimstone, and I got it from a beast last night." Snow looked at Elena expectantly, "Do you know anything?" ā€

"Brimstone?" Elena glanced at Snow and said, "Don't mess with the name if you don't know, this thing should be called a magic stone, I used to sneak into the alchemy to avoid being captured, and I was lucky enough to see it." ā€

"Magic stones?" Snow was a little speechless and asked, "Why is it called a magic stone?" ā€

"This is the name given by the alchemist, and it is said that the magic stone can cause death." Elena said with a slight mockery, "Those alchemists like to associate these poisons with demons the most. ā€

Snow nodded, alchemist is indeed the easiest profession to come into contact with sulfur in this era, and in the process of alchemy, once sulfur appears, the chance of poisoning will skyrocket. Mild cases may have symptoms such as eye redness, eye pain, insomnia, etc., and severe cases may have reflex glottal spasm, and if it is in a room with poor ventilation, it can even cause people to die of suffocation and poisoning.

"The magic stone is the magic stone, that's just the name." Snow said indifferently, "Have you ever seen a magic stone in the mountains and forests?" ā€

"Before, I controlled the panther to go to the mountains and forests to inquire about the news, and I did smell the smell of magic stones at the foot of a mountain." Once Elena controls the beast, she is able to use its body as a medium to feel her surroundings. Although her sense of smell was a little worse, she still remembered the special smell of sulfur.

"Really? Where is it not far from our town? Snow asked excitedly.

"It's not too far for the beasts, but for us, at least there's a day's time." Elena said.

Snow frowned, a day's journey. In this way, if you want to take people to mine, you need to prepare overnight. Although most of the beasts have now entered the winter life, there are still wild beasts infested. Spending the winter in the mountains and forests is not a good idea.

When iron ore was mined, the townspeople occasionally spent the night in the forest. Because the mine is relatively deep, as long as the entrance is blocked with stones, it is a safe place to spend the night. But there are certainly no such convenient conditions for sulphur mining.

"Magic stones are something that alchemists can't avoid? Do you want them for any use? Elena asked.

"You believe the alchemist's bullshit." Snow looked at the sulfur in his handkerchief and said, "This magic stone is like a sharp sword, and those who don't understand it will accidentally hurt themselves, but in the hands of knights who know how to use swordsmanship, it can play its due role." ā€

"You mean, you know what this magic stone can do?" Elena asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, if you get the magic stone, plus some other small objects, you can exert a surprising power." Snow smiled, "It won't be long before I'll prove it to you." But the premise is that we have to go into the mountains. ā€

Just as Snow and Elena were about to go into the mountains to investigate, the Viscount Castle in Kalka City ushered in a big man, the fourth prince of the Riva Kingdom, Mercerlon.

In the evening, Tehuasu held a ball, and the nobles of the entire city of Kalka and above the barons came to meet Messeren, as well as the heads of the churches and high priests in the city. In the ornate hall, the golden-haired, curly-haired Merceron smiled kindly, raised his glass frequently, and gestured gracefully to the visitor. The fourth prince, who is only twenty-six years old, is not only handsome and has a perfect figure, but also a strong contender for the throne of the Riva Kingdom.

Those who are familiar with Messeron know that this young fourth prince is only gentle on the surface. The means it has are heart-wrenching.

After the ball, Messeron personally escorted the Church Master and the High Priest out of the castle. The Church was undoubtedly a force that the princes vied to woo, especially when the old king was about to die. After sending everyone away, Messeron did not go to rest, but took Tehuasu into the study alone.

The first person to report about Cecili's private stay was Messeren. Now that something has happened, the primary responsibility is that he can't escape.

"Your Excellency, please punish me." As soon as he entered the study, Tehuasu knelt on the ground and fearfully pleaded guilty to Messeren.

"Punishment is there for sure." Messeron sat down on the wide chair behind the desk, shook the wine glass in his hand, and said in a casual tone: "Let's talk about the specific situation first, how did the little girl run out of the castle?" ā€
