When Hephasto reported to himself, Esher wasn't as calm as he seemed. In Livingston, "Chief Craftsman" is a very important title, and all those who hold this position are all from Wang Li's College, with great ability and high means, and the right to speak is second only to the administrator of the territory. Estheus had met a master craftsman in Ryan, and just as a token of gratitude, he took it upon himself to deduct the bounty from the cost price of the Knights' equipment, without even asking Duke Alexis, who was known for his arbitrariness. Although the days of dragons and falcons are long gone, and Fort Fembret, once the headquarters of the Knights of the Falcon, is long gone, but perhaps as Viscount Ivanles said to Essho, the power is gone, and the legacy remains—not every lord's fief has a veteran master craftsman, and not every lord has the generosity to entrust the master craftsman and fifty young craftsmen to others. It's unimaginable that this group of people can help a new baron avoid many detours during the construction of his territory. And Eshua did not expect Wren to bring out so many craftsmen from Fenbre Castle, he had thought that Viscount Ivanles would only symbolically send a few apprentices to him.

"Don't worry, the viscount asked me to give you a message." Hephasto stepped forward, approached Estheus, and lowered his voice, "Your Excellency, I have faithfully fulfilled part of the agreement between you and me, and the rest will continue to be fulfilled until the end of my life. I hope that on the scales of the goddess of order, you and I can achieve a balance that satisfies her. ”

"I will." Eshu nodded.

"I'm not going to go back to Fembre to help you relay that." Hephasto shrugged, "Next is what the old man wants to tell you: these fifty people will not all follow you, I will leave thirty people to buy supplies everywhere - you don't need to worry about the funds, the viscount allocated me a large amount of public money before leaving, and I will not ask you for money until this dinar is exhausted." Of course, you have no right to ask me for it, as the head craftsman assigned to your domain by Viscount Ivanles," the old man's face showed undisguised disdain as he changed his title, "I have complete control over this fund. ”

"I understand this, is there anything else I need to know?"

"It's gone. Pack up and get ready to go! "The last Hephasto was shouted to the craftsmen in the camp." Ruler, Compass, you two groups follow the baron, after arriving at the destination, one group is responsible for designing a complete transportation and supply route, and find a way to bring Ismolorana into the northern transportation network, and the other group will explore the ore veins on the spot, and if possible, establish a supply camp, the more the better! Celestial Furnace, you go to Shendefu and buy eighty meters of linen, the thicker the stitches, the better; Go to Winderholm and buy ten fine whale skins, and ask for adult sperm whales, and twenty good iron oaks; Tiantanzuo, take a boat from Changge Port to Liberty City, and find a way to get at least fifty kilograms of pig iron, there is no cap on it, as long as you don't sink it when you come back, I won't go to the inland sea to fish for you. He ordered with astonishing speed, and the craftsmen grouped by constellation began to distribute their horses in an orderly manner, and each of them boarded the cart, each armed with a weapon, a bow, crossbow, sword, and axe—it was clear that their safety did not require Estheu to worry about.

Salamane walked over: "Chief, I've heard something interesting in the tavern about Ismorola, do you want to listen to it now?" ”

"Don't worry, pack your luggage, we're leaving, and we'll report on the way." Esher said, "What about Anson? Has his training fallen? ”

"Chief, actually, ......," Salamane succinctly recounted Anson's previous situation. After listening in silence, Eshu scratched his brow irritably. When Kia was still there, these things didn't need to be asked by Eshy at all, he was a very qualified adjutant, he could always screen and sort out all the key information in the shortest possible time, and at the same time he could handle internal affairs with ease, Anson's psychological problems were tricky for Eshy, but it might only take a few minutes to solve the other party. But now that Kia had probably returned to Marions as his viscount, Esher had to face these problems himself.

……

Plutor was quietly waiting for Brochette to return at the Dean's quarters, his luggage stacked outside the door. Even if he is as noble as him, if he wants to study at the Royal Academy, he has to go through the corresponding formalities—or because he is as noble as him, only the dean can accept his request on a relatively equal footing, but Brochette is not at the residence for a while. In order not to miss out, Prutor politely declined the Duke of Aldemar's invitation and passed the time by doing some random sketches in his residence.

A few scholars walked past the door, and the sound of conversation came into the room around the hidden door, "Have you heard, Teacher Hephasto returned to Wang Li College a few days ago." ”

"That Hephaesto? What you wouldn't say is—"

"Yes, that Hephasto. At that time, the chief tutor of smelting, geology and technology was also the one who broke the record of the youngest chief tutor. The master craftsman who is now in charge of Ryan City's logistics is also a former student. If Hephasto hadn't accepted the invitation of the Ivanles family to go to Fenbreburg as the head blacksmith, the three disciplines would have been merged into one. ”

"After all these years, is he still alive? I thought Duke Alexis had already met with misfortune when he captured Fenbrebre, after all, with his old man's temper...... Gee. ”

"No, Duke Ryan would not kill a scholar of the Royal Academy, no matter how arrogant he is, but he has taken most of the craftsmen in Fenbre Castle captive. It is said that in its heyday Hephasto had 880 craftsmen under him, named after the 88 constellations of the sky, and it is not known how many are left. ”

"Bobcat!" A young scholar cursed rudely, "Won't he be able to spend the rest of his life well on the Finbrai Plains?" Wouldn't he come back this time to finish his unfinished business? Will my geology beads be recovered after integration? ”

"This shouldn't be enough, when Mr. Brochette was not the dean, I didn't agree with him doing this, because both of them are important chief tutors, and he came back this time to ask for a new academic ring and stone beads."

"What nonsense are you talking about in front of my dwelling, I'm afraid I won't hear it, right?" An old voice abruptly interjected into the scholars' conversation, "There's nothing to worry about, what to do." Also, who piled so many packages at the door? ”

Prutor opened the door and walked out, saluting the old man standing in the courtyard gracefully: "Plutor Gregory, greetings to Dean Brochette." ”
