At dinner, Bran once again refused the guards that the duke wanted to send, this is only a little more than a hundred meters away from the castle, with the strength of the knights, it is an instant to reach it by raising your feet, and the Northland is vast and sparsely populated, and there are knights patrolling and cleaning near the castle every day, which is very safe.

In winter, no one will run to the periphery of the castle, and the harsh natural environment is the best barrier.

What caught Bran's attention now was the faint markings on the faces of both older brothers, so according to Dani, this was hearing the call of the wasteland?

Although he is not very close to his two elder brothers, as a family member who has lived together for many years, there will always be a kind of concern. As a younger brother, I always have to help them do something within the scope of my ability.

For some reason, the people of the Northland don't talk about coming-of-age ceremonies, they are more like animals, and they arrive at a specific place at a specific time according to their animal-like instincts, just like animals migrate. Those who were going to receive the teachings of their elders were silent, and those who came back were silent, which frustrated Bran's desire to find out the news through his two elder brothers.

But another thing that Bran didn't understand was that the two elder brothers actually heard the call at the same time, which means that the second brother's qualifications are better than the eldest brother's. When Bran raised the question, the eldest brother blushed visibly.

The duke's answer was particularly heavy: "No, it is best to come back alive." ”

This sentence silenced everyone.

"It's going to be fine," Bran said loudly, "I'll make the best weapons for them, and armor." ”

He knew that the chances of his brothers succeeding in coming back were very high, after all, with the authority of the duke, letting his children receive better training and better equipment from an early age would give them a greater chance to complete the trial.

But looking around, feeling the heavy atmosphere, and remembering what Danny had said that the wasteland was alive, a strong uneasiness rose in Bran's heart.

......

The next morning, Bran informed all the knights in the castle that their weapons were finished. During this time, Bran had been testing various weapons and had not released another one. Now he had more important things to do, so he decided to give them back the weapons that the knights had ordered.

Today is a good day, at least for the knights in the castle.

Ever since Isa had picked up his two-handed sword, the magic of the sword had spread among the knights. All the knights were looking forward to getting their own weapons as soon as possible, but none of them showed impatience and impatience, after all, this era is still in an environment of slow work and meticulous work. Some of the knights even sent some materials, or what they thought was magical, such as extraterrestrial meteorite.

Today, Bran opened their eyes, dozens of weapons were placed at the door, each weapon was hung with the owner's name tag, Dani stood on the side with a reluctant face, watching the knights come forward with apprehension to take away their custom-made weapons, and then set out the weapons with a satisfied look on their faces.

......

Seeing off the knights, Bran began to close the door. He had to tailor weapons and equipment for his two older brothers.

For Bran now, making equipment is really a no-brainer. Many times he just doesn't want to be a craftsman, or lazy cancer. He prefers to look at the scenery, join in the fun, keep his curiosity about new things for a few days, and have a passion for many things for two or three days before being attracted to another interesting or uninteresting thing.

It's just that in the face of last night's heavy atmosphere and his family, he doesn't want to regret that he didn't do anything after he lost. So he thought about doing something for his two brothers before they left for the wasteland. Or let them walk out of this house happily with fewer regrets.

Looking at the two older brothers in front of him who seemed to be elated because of the upcoming trial, Bran was a little speechless, is adulthood really so attractive? 14 or 5 years old is an age when the sky is not afraid and the earth is not afraid, and there is nothing to worry about. I don't worry about my parents, I don't think about their feelings, I just want to get rid of them, I want to prove my strength at any time. Maybe what you want to get rid of now is what you want to have forever and cherish in the future.

The two elder brothers look very similar, about the same height, both have dark red hair, and have the unique tough lines of the Northlanders, even on the faces of the two teenagers, it is rare to see that kind of baby fat, because the body is far from growing, so the body is slightly thin, but the slightly bulging shoulders and thick necks make the two teenagers full of strength.

Maybe it was a little distracted, Bran's eyes seemed hollow, and the flowers on the side also learned from the master to tilt his head, staring at the two of them like people, which made the two teenagers a little uncomfortable. As the boss, he first woke up Bran: "Don't be in a daze, hurry up." ”

"Ugh. Bran sensed the menacing look in his brothers' eyes and decided not to bother with them. As a civilized person, you will not solve problems by force.

Bran recorded the two brothers' arm length, shoulder width and other characteristics, and then asked them to try a few sword blanks of different weights, and then quickly told the two brothers to get out. Originally, he wanted to cultivate some relationship with his two brothers, but in the face of obvious violent tendencies and a restless age, Bran really didn't dare to let them stay in his warehouse and studio for long. Just looking at the expression full of curiosity and eagerness, Bran was a little afraid. Thanks to the critical moment, Dani miraculously appeared at the door of the warehouse, shocking them.

......

The production went well, and Bran got two wolf-headed hats with some mistaste, and the hats were draped down the head like a wolf's head with its mouth open. The upper jaw is clasped just above the head, the lower jaw protects the neck, and the back of the hat completely covers the back of the neck.

A two-handed crossbow, a one-handed sword and a round shield, plus half of the fish scale armor.

The inner layer of the fish scale armor and the outer layer of metal armor are first-class in defense, but when making the fish scale armor, Bran is in a big trouble, for these armor pieces that need to be braided, Bran has a deep sense of powerlessness, and can only manually braided piece by piece.

Listening to the shouts of his brothers outside and the loud chirping of the eagle, Branford ran out of the door and asked Dani, who was teasing the eagle, to help move all the leather guards and armor pieces outside, and let the two of them put on the armor pieces themselves on the pretext of teaching the two brothers to maintain their armor.

In the evening, Bran's two brothers, wearing wolf-headed hats, unfinished fish scale armor, newly-acquired weapons, and a pile of armor in their arms, ran back to the castle happily.

......

The rugged style of the Northland doesn't have too much parting sorrow, when the two brothers travel, it's as if I'm going out for a walk, and then I go to the wasteland accompanied by the two attendants, and the attendants will return first after arriving at the destination, and what awaits the two teenagers will be the test of the wasteland.

Every night at dinner, Bran looked at the two empty chairs, and there was always a fear of the future, as if there was a huge mouth waiting for him in the road ahead, to devour him.

He could feel his parents' anticipation and apprehension, but what he didn't understand was why he had to participate in this trial. Is this trial really that important for the Northlanders?

In Bran's heart, people are the most important, life is the most important, and there are all kinds of possibilities to live, so why gamble with life?
