Section 271: The Secret of Glass (Page 1/1)

The silver-haired Roderick leaned his back against the wall, opened the tome, and pulled out a silver arrow from it, and when he felt the other hand approaching him, he turned sharply and held the silver arrow in his backhand.

"Ah~." But when Roderick pointed the silver arrow at the incoming person, he found that it was the child who had almost had his wrist cut off, and suddenly saw Roderick appear, and the child screamed in fright.

"It's you, you're stalking me?" The silver-haired Roderick put the silver arrow away, looked at the child curiously, and said to him, knowing that no one wanted to deal with a dangerous Inquisition.

"Whew." The child's big frightened eyes looked at Roderick, and he hurriedly shook his head, indicating that he did not want to harm Roderick in any way.

"Don't follow me anymore." Roderick frowned, and after warning the child, he turned to leave.

At the last moment, the Duke of Bemessi stopped the Assassins who had been dispatched, but the presence of the Inquisition was so big that the Duke, who rarely went to the church, prepared to lead his courtiers to the church on Sunday, both to show his piety and to find out what Roderick really thought.

However, the turbulence of the Duchy of Bemesy was too far away for Greenton, and Bruce did not relax the production of weapons and equipment after introducing winemaking technology in his own territory, but the supply of iron gradually could not keep up, and in this era, the rulers knew the importance of iron.

"There is not enough iron, Lord Baron, without iron, we cannot equip the whole army." Marcus said to Bruce.

"I know, didn't you already send Kevin Sr. to collect it?" Bruce said helplessly, he looked at the bill in front of him worriedly, and the treasury he had saved up was about to be emptied.

"The pig iron that the merchant sent has long since run out." Marcus said hurriedly.

"Damn, the iron ..... after the weapons collected on the battlefield melted down," Bruce asked again.

"That's long gone, too." Marcus spread his hands and said to Bruce.

"Really?" Bruce sat down in his chair, he touched his chin and fell into thought, it would be nice if there were iron ore in his territory, but thinking of iron ore, he remembered that Kevin Sr. had told him that there was a place where meteorite iron was hidden, and maybe now was the time to come in handy.

Kevin Sr. was soon called in front of Bruce, he respectfully took off his hat, bowed to Bruce, and at this time he was no longer a war merchant in the middle of nowhere, but a court merchant in Glinton.

"Old Kevin, we need a lot of iron now, can you tell me where the iron is hidden?" Bruce waved his hand at Kevin Sr. and asked, at this time Bruce's retainers were all in the room.

"Of course, my lordship." Old Kevin hurriedly said.

However, when Kevin Sr. told him about the location, Bruce and the others were shocked, that place was not very far from Glinton, no, it could be said to be an adjacent territory, but it was really a very tricky place.

"Isn't that in Black Widow's territory?" Elder Warren said as he leaned on crutches and gave Bruce a surprised look.

"Black Widow, Baroness Randall." Bruce muttered to himself that this baroness was a difficult person to mess with, and that she had fought with the Locke family for many years over the water source of the territory, but she didn't know for what purpose she had saved Bruce several times.

"I think that's the end of it! After several battles, the army should have rested a long time ago, and the people also needed to cultivate the land. Stukov leaned over the fireplace, peeling an apple, and said to Bruce and the others.

"But without iron, we wouldn't be able to produce armor and weapons." Edward said.

"Who are we going to fight again?" Stukov asked with a shrug.

"You can't reserve just because you don't have a war." Bruce stood up and said that he had gathered his retainers to listen to their opinions, but now it seems that everyone seems to think that the world is peaceful, although Bruce also thinks so, but he is always unsteady in his heart, especially after Lord Zach escaped, this poisonous snake that does not know where to take revenge on them will not give up.

"Okay, then I'll go and gather the army." Stukov straightened up from the fireplace, and he said to Bruce that as Grinton's mercenary captain, he had the same role as Mitch, except that Mitch's soldiers were mainly from Glinton's locals, while Stukov could go to other territories to gather young people who were eager to fight as mercenaries, which was also the Grington military dual system designed by Bruce.

"No, you're right, Greenton needs to recuperate, and there is no need to use force in this matter." Bruce blinked and said to the crowd.

"Oh?" Stukov was a little unconvinced, and he thought that the lady would never give up a piece of iron-producing land, and if she did not use force, she would probably not get it easily.

"Kevin Sr. and Marcus stay, and the others can be disbanded." Bruce said to the crowd.

Stukov and the others wondered how Bruce wanted to grab the land without war, but when they heard Bruce say this, they had to disband.

"Alright, we can talk now." When everyone left, only Bruce, Marcus, and Kevin Sr. were left in the lord's house, and Marcus and Kevin Sr. stood in front of Bruce suspiciously.

"Marcus, I decided to start with a new product." Bruce sat back down, and he said to Marcus first.

"What?" Marcus was a little confused.

"I have little special knowledge in my territory except for dirt and stones, and now Ignas has brought us wine, but this is not enough, after a period of investigation, I found that there is a lot of quartz stone and gravel in our territory." Bruce lowered his voice and said to Marcus.

"Quartz gravel?" Marcus didn't understand what the so-called quartz stone was.

"You don't have to worry about this, you just need to know, this quartz stone can make glass, you know that." Before Bruce crossed over, he had visited the glass factory of the township enterprise as a village official, and the general process of making glass was still clear, and he understood that he could not accumulate a lot of wealth even if he farmed for a hundred years in a small territory like himself, so he simply developed a primary industry in order to protect the Grington family.

"Glass, the Lord God is above, you have mastered the craft of glass?" Marcus was surprised and almost couldn't close his mouth, glass has always been a secret in the secrets of the southern city-states, controlled by a small number of ancient southern families, so glass is an extremely expensive luxury, and its recipe is also very strictly secret.
