The blacksmith who was only interested in casting perfectly realized the idea proposed by Arrod's inspiration, and even in order to spend his days with his beloved casting, Orn rejected Arold's suggestion to invite him to live in the comfort of the mayor's house, moved his bed to the blacksmith's shop, and asked his apprentice to heat the furnace every day before dawn, staring at the flames in the furnace to carefully observe the temperature, and making all kinds of strange things that Arold gave him.

However, Arold was very worried when he found out, many blacksmiths will suffer from eye diseases in their old age, which is caused by the long-term observance of the forged furnace with harmful rays, so Arold also specially asked people to find crystals of various colors, and finally a Slavic noblewoman living in the town of Wismar donated several colors of crystals to Arold, including brown crystals that are very suitable for fire-watching glasses.

"Lord Earl, we have polished the crystal into this flake according to your request, please take a look." The president of the Crafts Guild in the town of Wismar personally hand-polished the brown crystal that Arold had given them into four round slices, then drilled holes in the edges and installed them in a frame made of wood, which turned out to be two sunglasses.

"Well, yes, your craftsmen are very attentive, from now on your guild must keep this technique a secret, and no one else will know about it, and then continue to create this kind of sunglasses, and I can ask the Chamber of Commerce to find it for you in terms of crystal." Arold opened the wooden box held by the Crafts Guild President and saw two pairs of sunglasses lying inside. Pick up a pair and put it on his eyes, looking proud, and the other will be given to Orn as a gift.

"What the hell is this for, Lord Earl?" Julian looked at the strange thing on Arold's face and asked him curiously.

"I don't understand, wearing this kind of sunglasses will not feel dazzling even if you look directly at the sun, you can not let others guess your mind through your eyes when negotiating, and more importantly, the man who wears sunglasses is called handsome." Arjord had a rare joke with Julian, and at the same time, there was something more important that was handed over to the Craft Guild, which was related to military security. Therefore, Arold ordered the craftsmen of the Crafts Guild to directly change the location of their work in a separate warehouse. The perimeter of the warehouse is guarded by Swiss mercenaries.

"Lord Arrod, I also brought the thing you gave us, please take a look." The president took a long, narrow wooden box from the craftsman behind him and held it in front of Arold. Arold didn't expect the craftsmen to finish the thing so quickly. Inside the wooden box is a cross-generational thing. The polished concave clear crystal, the other end is the polished raised clear crystal, and the body of the object is a long tube made of copper. The wax casting method was used, and it took several boxes of bee hives to create this item.

"What is this?" Julian craned his neck to look at the long object that Arold had picked up, his brows furrowed and thoughtful, but in vain, Arold just smiled this time and put one end of the object to Julian's eye, asking him to look inside than one eye, Julian glanced at Wow and shouted back, but curiously stepped forward and screamed again.

"This thing is amazing, it's a god's clairvoyance." The head of the Crafts Guild of the Lomwa religion excitedly said to Arrod, in his eyes, this pagan count who claimed to have the legal right to rule over the county of Mecklenburg, was simply a mind connected to the gods, and all kinds of never-before-seen objects were designed in an endless way, which the oldest and most experienced craftsman in the entire town of Vismar could not have imagined.

"What is this?" Julian finally put down his belongings after experiencing the novelty and asked Arrod.

"Telescopes." Think about it, when the enemy thinks that they are very safe from afar, in fact, their every move is in their own eyes, the strength and weakness of the army soldiers are under control, and attacking the castle can also find a breakthrough in advance.

"It's amazing, is there a mysterious angel living in it? He must have received the scenery from afar. Julian was so happy that even a knight in his apprenticeship could not resist the temptation of such a magical item.

"President, the drawings I gave you and these things I created are all military secrets, and no one is allowed to leak them, and if I find out who leaks them, I swear to God Lu that he will be beheaded." Arrod instructed the head of the handicraft guild that these things he explained were all products of the times, and if they were leaked, they would definitely cause a great storm, so secrecy became a top priority.

"Yes, Lord Earl, please rest assured that our craftsmen keep it a secret and that the guild has its own set of confidentiality agreements, which every craftsman knows very well when they join the guild."

"That's good, but those craftsmen must be under my arrangement and supervision, and the president has no objection to that, right?"

"Absolutely not, don't worry." The head of the handicraft guild hurriedly said.

After taking control of the power of the town of Vesma, Arold felt that he was like a fish in water, many things that he could not do before, there were enough manpower and resources to do, but although the town of Vesmar was a trade and prosperous trade distribution center, but the territory on the Baltic coast of Northern Europe was actually not rich, and even sparsely populated, which made Arold find that his money bag began to shrink after a few battles, in order to ensure that he had enough money to support his conquest of Mecklenburg, As well as dealing with the threat of Slavic attacks, he needs his own products to open up trade markets, and in addition to the cooler sunglasses, Arold is already ordering people to build a printing house.

If there was one of the best-selling novels in the Middle Ages, it was undoubtedly the story of a carpenter crucified, oh, forgive Arrod's blasphemy, but the Bible was indeed the best-selling book of the Middle Ages, and in this age of the supremacy of faith, the aristocracy, of all classes, wanted to have a Bible carefully written by the monks in the monastery or church, and this kind of struggle required a skilled writer to hold his breath and work for several days and nights, trying not to make a mistake in writing a thick Bible, It was a test of the monk's devotion and a wealth for the Church.

"In order to get my territory as soon as possible, I can only touch the cheese of the church." Arrod held the telescope in his hand, but his heart was wondering how to use this magical telescope to bribe the upper echelons of the church so that they would not be overly angry after selling their own woodblock Bibles.

For this reason, Arold even talked to Xiu, hoping that Xiu could have contacts in this area, and Arold was pleased that the elders of the Friars of St. Jom actually offered to help Arrod, in the words of the elder who had been a deacon in Rome, Arold is now at war with the enemies of the Lord, so the Holy See of the Anglican Church should help Arrod, instead of ignoring it, as for the telescope, he can send it away first, because it is said that the new Pope Ni Ni does not like strange and obscene things.

In his doubts, Arold had the attitude of giving it a try, and asked the Friars of St. John to send someone to Rome, and then to Arold's surprise, on the eve of the expedition to the castle of Mecklenburg, in the mayor's house in the town of Wisma, Arold actually received two envoys at the same time, one was an envoy from the Anglican Church in Rome, and he brought Arold a small chest full of silver, which was a reward for Arrod's battle against the infidels, and proof that the Holy Church had not forgotten him, and urged Arold to accept the terms of a bishop after conquering the whole of Mecklenburg.

"Regional bishops?" Arrod's face was a little gloomy, and the hand on the small box couldn't help but be lowered, which was simply the Holy See planting nails in its own court, which made him very unhappy.

"I am an emissary to His Royal Highness the Noble Crown Prince of the Holy Roman Empire from Saxony." The envoy is a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his facial features are like a knife and pen, his eyes are bright, in fact, he is a knight from Prince Otto's retinue, he accepts Otto's mission, and after some twists and turns, he finally finds Arold himself, and conveys Prince Otto's sincere greetings to Arold.

"Although we have nothing to offer you, rest assured that whether you succeed or not, Prince Otto will always take you as a friend, including asylum if necessary, as long as you can make a trip to the Duchy of Saxony."

"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince, for your concern." Arold was very curious, he knew about the arrival of the papal emissary, but why he had attracted the attention of Prince Otto, the son of Henry the Bird Catcher, was an intriguing thing, could it be a trap set by the Duke of Saxony in order to capture him?

In any case, Arold was somewhat flattered by the support of the Holy See and the friendly greetings of the Holy Roman Empire, but he quickly calmed down, because he knew very well that if he could not conquer the Slavic lands, then in the eyes of these magnates, he would be penniless, and how difficult and unstoppable it would be to own a territory of his own.

"Let's go~~~." Arold was dressed in chain mail, and the smock on the outside of the chain mail depicted a black male lion, the cloak behind him falling casually on the horse's back, and the sword at his waist clanged against the accessories. With Julian holding the flagpole of the flag in one hand and the hilt of his sword at his waist in the other, an army of more than 1,000 men set out from the town of Wismar and marched towards the castle of Mecklenburg.
