Chapter 35: Eliza's Reaction
The sword's debut received a good response, which was to be expected.
The high-tech brain melon of the last world plus so many days of careful casting, if it is not as good as the pitiful casting level of this world, it is a shame.
Elle found an open spot and swung it a few times, her eyes sparkling at the sword, like a greedy child seeing delicious food, and obviously loved it very much.
After playing for a while, Elle came back and sighed, "If it weren't for my father's dedication, and this sword was in my hand, you wouldn't want to go back." ”
In this regard, Meron could only shrug his shoulders helplessly.
It's not that Meron doesn't want to give, but the metal I got last time was so small, and it was difficult to cast both......
A lot of iron was recovered from Tronburg, but during this time various things were continuous, and there was no time to cast.
"I just tried the sword, and I saw that this sword actually has a lot of elasticity, how did you do it?" Elle put the dagger into the scabbard and asked again.
The sword is elastic, that is, flexible, and can bend, which has not been seen in weapons in this world.
If you want to bend back a thing made of pig iron, it is estimated that it will only be broken.
If the thickness is not up to standard, it is not advanced casting technology, but cutting corners.
"Iron is a very special metal, the higher the purity, the stronger the tensile ability, and the hardness decreases. On the other hand, the purity is not high, the hardness is sufficient, but the tensile ability is weak, and there is no elasticity. ”
Meron paused slightly, allowing Elle to digest the information, and continued, "The reason why this sword has good elasticity is because its purity is higher than average, except that there is nothing special about it. ”
Elle rolled her eyes, although she didn't fully understand Meron's words, she knew that the so-called purity was definitely not so easy to improve, otherwise the sword would have been rotten on the street a long time ago.
Seeing that the sword couldn't be wanted, Ellie couldn't be more troubled, so she could only change the topic and keep her attention from the sword.
"When you first came, you said you were going to get a lot of food, and you were short of food in your castle? As far as I know, Lord Count gives you supplies every month, and there aren't many people in your castle, so you don't need a lot of food. ”
This topic led to Ellie's distraction, and Meron began to be upset.
In the past few days, Meron's hair has turned gray because of this matter, and he was still in high spirits just now, but now he has wilted a lot: "There is no shortage in the castle, but there is a shortage of people in the territory, they have been eating flower seeds for a while, I must solve this problem as soon as possible." ”
Don't listen to what the old village chief said, people don't touch flower seeds when they eat wild vegetables, how can there be a large number of wild vegetables for so many people to eat every day.
It's like the bark of a tree can be eaten, but there is only a little bark on a tree, you can't even gnaw on the branches, you must have that tooth, and then you can only eat flower seeds.
"Eat flower seeds?" Ellie and Eliza exclaimed in unison.
Eliza, in particular, stood up as soon as she stood up, her face turned pale, and her whole person looked very uncalm, completely devoid of her previous softness and calmness, and kept muttering: "It must be stopped, it must be stopped." ”
Meron was a little stunned by Eliza's reaction, and when she saw that there seemed to be a glimmer of crystal in the corner of Eliza's eye, Meron seemed to understand something.
"Eliza, what's wrong with you?" Ellie hurriedly grabbed Eliza's hand and asked as she soothed.
Eating flower seeds was a very serious matter, but Eliza shouldn't have reacted so violently.
Don't forget the architecture of this world, in the eyes of the aristocracy, commoners and slaves were tools of production, similar to pack oxen that could pull carts.
Not to mention that eating flower seeds will lead to that kind of bad consequences, even if it is, it is not for nothing that a large area of starvation is not impossible, and it is related to the noble wool, and no one will find a way to get it again.
"Ellie, you also have to think of a way, the matter of eating flower seeds must be stopped, I will talk to Lord Earl about it, I think Lord Earl will also help." Eliza slowed down for a moment before calming down a little, took Ellie's hand, and said seriously.
Ellie nodded slightly: "I'll find a way to do this, after all, Meron is my own brother, and I can't ignore this kind of thing in his territory." ”
After Eliza heard that the people in Meron's territory had reached the level of eating flower seeds, her spirit had been in a trance, and it was obviously unrealistic to continue chatting, so she could only help Eliza to go back to rest.
Meron had something to worry about, and he couldn't stay alone in the castle, so he simply went to the streets of Fort Dubai to take a break and try to see if he could get some inspiration to help him.
In the Duchy of Boubai, although Fort Dubai is not the top bustling kind, it is also among the top ones, and it must have its own uniqueness.
By the time Meron returned to the castle, Bent and Korda had already returned.
Unlike usual, this time Meron had just entered the hall on the first floor and saw Koda sitting there, obviously waiting for someone.
"Hi my dear brother, I didn't expect to meet again so soon." Seeing Meron, Koda showed more enthusiasm than before, which made Meron a little uncomfortable.
Although the two are serious brothers, because the age gap is too large, Korda belongs to the precocious type, which gives Meron a feeling of heavy majesty, with a hint of facing Bante.
Keda was very natural, as if it had always been like this, put his arm around Meron's shoulders and smiled: "It was Lord Earl who asked me to wait for you here, and informed you to go to the study, he is waiting for you there." ”
Hearing this, Meron had a little more realization in his heart.
Meron didn't take the sword with him when he walked down the street, but let Elle hold it first, so that she could play with it, and now it seems that Bent had seen the sword and liked it very much.
Otherwise, with Bante's temperament, he would never let Korda wait here for someone after the dinner, and inform Meron to see him in the study as soon as he returned.
"It's been a few days since my eldest brother and father left the castle, and they must be eager to talk to Martha, so just let a servant inform me, why wait for me." Meron smiled slightly, made his expression natural, and said politely.
Martha is Coda's wife, and she is absolutely a good match, but the two are in the nature of a political marriage, so Martha rarely interacts privately with Meron and others, but the role of the wife of the count's heir and the eldest daughter-in-law of the castle is still very well played.
Korda shrugged: "You know, we're used to it. ”
Meron could only nod his head, he could feel Koda's feelings, or the feelings between Koda and Martha.
The two, like many marriages, do not have much affection between the husband and wife.
However, the two handled it very well, one played the role of the perfect husband, and the other played the role of the perfect wife, which became a habit.
Korda came back from outside, and neither of them wanted to see each other's passion immediately......
This is the sorrow of marriage, and it is also the best example in marriage, and it is also an elder brother confiding his helplessness to his younger brother.
In fact, the more perfect things are, the less they should have a soul, because there is no such thing as true perfection in the world, and there are only one long and one short.
Perhaps feeling that the atmosphere was a little heavy, a smile appeared at the corner of Keda's mouth: "Okay, you go to your father first, and come back to me when you have time, and our brothers will have a good chat." ”
