"I see your efforts, and I hope you can continue to keep it up. ”

Willy was not shy about his encouragement.

For other peers, excessive praise may make him complacent, but for Eric, no positive or negative evaluation can shake his heart.

In a way, he is far more powerful inside than many adults.

"I will, Lord Baron. ”

When Eric heard this, there was no wave, as Willy had expected.

"Work hard. ”

Willy gave another word of encouragement, signaling that Eric could continue with his forge.

The Armaments Manufacturing Agency has completed its inspections and it is time to return.

Being able to come to visit Eric is enough to express the importance I attach to Erik.

"Wait a minute, Lord Baron!"

Willy had just turned around when he heard Eric stop him.

He turned around and looked at Eric, who seemed to have made some kind of decision, and asked, "What's wrong, Eric?"

"Please wait a minute. ”

Eric finished speaking, and quickly ran back to the forge room.

Flana took a sneaky glance at Willy and saw that Willy didn't look unhappy in any way.

He suddenly envied Eric, who was able to stand in place and wait for him by Lord Baron, which was an honor that many people did not have.

It's no wonder that Flana thinks too much, for the subordinate, every move of the superior is worth pondering repeatedly.

Soon, Eric ran out of the forge chamber again.

Only this time, he had a brand new cross sword in his hand.

This cross sword is about 1.3 meters long, and when it is erected, it is basically about the same height as the forger Eric.

The surface of the cross sword is smooth and the blade is pressing, and it looks like a fine handicraft made by an old craftsman.

"This is the first sword I've ever built, and I hope to give it to you as a gift. ”

Eric held his head high and looked directly into Willy's eyes.

Seeing this, Willy smiled softly and took the cross sword from Eric's hand.

He took the blade of the sword in his hand and examined it carefully, and sighed more and more at Eric's forging talent.

I don't know why, this cross sword, the more you look at it, the more people feel like it's made of nature. It seems that it had grown in an iron embryo, and then Eric had stripped it of its iron sheet and restored it to its original form.

"I love it, thank you. ”

Willy thanked Eric.

"It's my pleasure. ”

With that, Eric returned to the forge room.

Willy gripped the cross sword tightly and swung it a few times in front of him.

"What an amazing kid. ”

Once again, Sandor expressed his praise.

He had seen a lot of cross swords, and the one forged by Eric was definitely the best.

"In the days when you hunt in the forest, you can sharpen this sword at that time, Lord Baron. ”

Sandor suggested to Willy.

Hunting in the middle of summer, it was a tradition of the aristocracy.

In June and July of each year, counts, viscounts and barons hold hunting events in their territory.

This type of hunt usually lasts two to three days, and the lord leads his men to participate. During these two days, both civil and guard officials had to shoot their horses and hunt, aiming to remind the noble group to dare to fight bloody battles and defend their glory.

Nowadays, of course, this enterprising spirit is no longer the focus, and more often than not, everyone sees it as a group activity in the middle of the year, a way for the upper echelons of the aristocracy to gather their subordinates and have fun with the officials.

According to tradition, young people who show their prominence in the midsummer hunt will be commended by the lord and even reused.

Therefore, many of the juniors of the officials' families are riveting their strength, ready to shine in the midsummer hunt.

"It's a good idea. ”

Willy agreed.

During the time of Blue Whale Town, Baron Enton once circled a private forest. Although the area is not large, except for some large and dangerous beasts, the wild animals inside are basically complete.

Not only do you not have to worry about those thin civil officials being hurt by fierce beasts, but you can also let everyone experience the fun of hunting, and it is a very good hunting place.

The original midsummer hunt was held in this forest.

This year, Willy is in charge of White Bear Town, and plans to continue his hunting there.

"Let's go. ”

Willy handed the sword to his soldiers.

Later, in front of all the top officials of the Armaments Manufacturing Agency, Willy and Sandall left the Armaments Manufacturing Agency.

Forging chamber.

After Willy left, Eric resumed his work.

Suddenly, there were several puppy barking sounds outside the forge room.

Eric looked up, only to see a three-legged yellow dog enter the forge and stop at Eric's feet.

It rubbed against Eric's trouser legs, and seemed to be very affectionate to him.

"You're here. ”

The yellow dog was a stray dog that Eric had picked up outside the Armaments Manufacturing Agency, and had now brought it into the Armaments Manufacturing Agency.

Normally, animals are not allowed in the Armaments Manufacturing Agency, but Eric is an exception to the Baron's deliberate care.

When the yellow dog was first seen, it had only three legs, and its right hind limb was born disabled.

"You're here just in time, I've already built you what you need. ”

With that, Eric opened the door and pulled out a prosthetic leg made of steel.

The prosthesis looks slightly rough, but where the joints meet, you can see the delicate gears.

"I'll put it on you. ”

Eric took matters into his own hands, attaching a gear prosthetic leg to the yellow dog's hind legs.

"It seems to work pretty well......"

Eric looked at the yellow dog walking quickly and excitedly, and a smile appeared on his face, which had never made waves!

He could clearly hear the click of the yellow dog's gears as he walked.

This made Eric extremely intoxicated.

Although many people praise Eric as a forging genius, a forging master who can forge luxurious weapons in the future. But only Eric himself knows that building those static tools has never been his ideal and hobby.

Only the gears, only this mechanical device, could fascinate him deeply.

If Willy had known what Eric was thinking at this time, he would have been amazed.

In an agrarian society, Eric had the ideas of the industrial age in his head.

Incredible.

"If a weapon has a soul, then it must be a miracle under the movement of gears. ”

Eric looked up and glanced at an unusually rough and ugly shovel in the middle of the table, a determined look in his eyes.

If Willy was here, he would recognize that this was the first and only iron tool he had ever made in the Fandoutun blacksmith shop.
