"Since the iron ore matter cannot be known to the military and ignored, even if we pretend not to find out, there are many copycats, and we dare not ensure that others will not find out one day, then we will build a stone excavation site at the location of the iron mine, hide people's eyes and ears, but in fact secretly mine iron ore, how about it?" Witt spoke his thoughts to Bandney and Edward.

When Bandni heard what Witt said, he nodded immediately, but then said: "Although this method is feasible for the owner of the village, and the price of iron ore is certainly tempting, how dare you sell it in the city for such a huge amount?" If the mined ore is transported to the Riwa car, the guards will inevitably report to the top floor, and then they will inevitably lead to death. Since it can't be sold, what's the point of mining so much iron ore? ”

"Although the captain's words have some truth, but this statement is not good!" Edward interjected suddenly.

"Why did the doctor say that?" Banderi said with some unconvinced eyes.

"If the ore can't be sold, why can't it be mined, and if it can't be sold, it doesn't mean it can be used. Our cottage is in a stage of shortage of resources, not only the shortage of guards' clothes and weapons, but also the iron plough for farming, household iron tools, logging iron axes, etc., all need iron ore, how can it be meaningless! Edward explained to Witt and Banderney.

"What the doctor said is very true, but the doctor knows that such iron tools can only be forged by a blacksmith, how can we ever have a blacksmith in Fengzhai? The matter of exploitation and utilization is pure nonsense. Bandney said with obvious disdain.

Banderney is not without a reason to say that without a blacksmith, the ore cannot be fully used. But Edward is also right, for the sake of today, our cottage is short of a total blacksmith! Witt tried to create a round between the two, so he didn't deliberately take sides.

Edward no longer bothered with Bandney, but turned to Witt and said, "The master of the village, the matter of the blacksmith has already been prepared in my heart. ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. Witt asked, visibly curious, expectantly.

"Fesde had a blacksmith of great repute, whose blacksmithing skills had been passed down from generation to generation, not unparalleled, but to the point of perfection. But the blacksmith later left Fesdena and lived in seclusion in the wild mountains and forests west of Fesdena, and the people of the village never saw him again. Edward was a long-time follower of his father, so his father occasionally mentioned his deeds to Edward.

"Since this person has such ability, how can he be useless in Feizhuang? Why do you want to leave Feizhuang and live in seclusion in the mountains? Witt was obviously skeptical of Edward's deeds, so he asked rhetorically.

"The owner of the village doesn't know that although this blacksmith is skilled, he is also a man of temperament. I heard my father say that when he was young, the blacksmith once fell in love with a young and beautiful woman, and the two later came together and became a couple that the world envied. But the good times didn't last long, once the blacksmith took his beloved woman to the south coast of Feizhuang to play, but he never thought that he was meeting the Haikou who came ashore, and both of them fell into the hands of the Haikou Kou. The cruel pirates mercilessly raped the woman he loved in front of the blacksmith and brutally murdered her. Although the blacksmith later died and did not know how to escape from the hands of the pirates, he no longer had vitality, and the whole person seemed to have changed as if he had become a different person, and he was immersed in striking iron all day long, and later heard that the blacksmith had disappeared. There are rumors that he was martyred, others say that he went to work under a certain great lord, and some people say that they saw him in the mountains west of Feizhuang, and there are many strange theories, but I think the blacksmith is most likely to be in the wild mountains to the west, because it was once the place where the blacksmith stayed with his beloved woman. ”

Edward spoke very vividly, and both Witt and Bandney were deeply immersed in the blacksmith's storyline, not interrupting Edward's words halfway, and a little depressed. How many mandarin ducks are buried in this sad era, who knows! Who cares! In fact, everyone cares, it's just that there are too many things, and in the end, no one cares.

"According to calculations, the blacksmith is nearly forty this year, right?" Seeing that Edward was silent, Banderney interjected.

Edward nodded, and continued: "If the blacksmith can be used by the owner of the village, coupled with the abundance of iron ore in the cottage, the villagers will not worry about the daily ironware, the blacksmith will definitely be able to create good armor and weapons, plus the well-trained guards, the strength of the cottage will definitely increase greatly, and it is also worthy of this hard-won hematite mine." ”

"Although the doctor is right, but this blacksmith is in a wild mountain, and the wild mountains to the west of Fesdena are endless, and I have never heard that there is an end to the mountain, let alone someone on the other side of the mountain, how should this blacksmith find it, isn't it looking for a needle in the sea and a bone in the egg?" Witt asked visibly depressed, his expression unusually helpless.

"The owner of the village must not give up early, since ancient times, it is not uncommon for strongmen to live in seclusion in the deep mountains and old forests, and it is rare to see a leader who has a thirsty heart and works hard (just about to say that Liu Bei Sangu thatched house, background problems, a little ridicule). If the owner of the village really wants to get this person, he should go there in person to influence this person. Edward explained the truth one by one, so that Banderni, who had heard about it for a long time, could not refute it, but after all, he was born as a martial artist, and he couldn't laugh in his heart when he heard it, so he forced himself to be calm, and nodded his head from time to time in agreement.

Seeing that Bandney nodded in agreement, Edward continued unscrupulously and added: "Besides, since there are villagers in Feizhuang who have seen this hidden blacksmith, then I dare to conclude that although this person lives in the wild mountains, he must not be far from the village, and the owner of the village will definitely be able to find this person in the near future." ”

Wei Ting nodded, the cottage does need a decent blacksmith, but the blacksmith is a skilled craftsman, it is not easy to ask for, and it is impossible for ordinary blacksmiths to come to such a dangerous place as Shuangfeng Village. Witt also understood this truth, so he took a chance to go deep in the mountains and old forests to find the mysterious blacksmith.

However, Witt always had a question in his heart, and finally he couldn't hold back, and asked Edward: "Although the blacksmith is proficient in striking iron and forging weapons and armor, but there are serious bandits around Feizhuang, how did the blacksmith survive in the mountains?" ”

Edward laughed when he heard this, and remained silent for a long time, even Bendney on the side laughed silently, making Witt look extremely embarrassed.

In the end, it was Edward who took care of Witt's face, and took the lead in laughing: "Village master, you don't know this, although the blacksmith is a full-time ironsmith, but if he doesn't have some combat skills, he doesn't have an in-depth study of swords and armor, how can he forge a good weapon and a good set of armor?" As far as I know, the master blacksmiths have made the best weapons and armor for themselves, and their fighting skills are extraordinary. In the army, their position is irreplaceable by their combat effectiveness alone. A few bandits are simply unsightly for a veteran soldier who has an in-depth study of weapons and armor. ”

Edward's words broadened Witt's horizons and gave Witt a deeper understanding of blacksmiths. Witt didn't go into the details, but got up and ordered Rum and the others to prepare relevant matters and set off together to find the mysterious blacksmith in the mountains.
