"What's your name?" asked the boy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Smith, my father was a blacksmith and he wanted me to be a blacksmith too, so he gave me this name. ”

"What about your father?"

"I passed away two years ago, and my mother died of illness last year, and the family shop can't be maintained......"

The little boy Smith looked at Jani, Xia Dao: "You say." ”

Jia Ni said: "I happened to meet it, so I bought a shop, hired the original manpower management, and asked him to come over and learn swordsmanship from adults." ”

Xia He nodded, this matter still has to be investigated, the child can't be of unknown origin, and it can't be abducted by the pit. Taiyin Immortal Mansion is also a famous family, and it is not allowed to do that kind of thing.

"Smith, you come to me, I'll see your qualifications. ”

"Yes. ”

Smith wanted to untie the sword on his waist, Xia Hedao: "No need, I don't have so many rules." ”

The little boy nervously walked up to Xia He, Xia Hedao: "Relax your spirits." ”

The little boy closed his eyes, and Xia He put his hand on the top of his head, and his true qi penetrated while scanning all the details of his body with the power of his divine sense.

Xia He was very surprised, Smith's qualifications may be similar to Medirli's, but Medierli has been a sword since elementary school, and this Smith is not yet enlightened.

The gap between the day after tomorrow is a bit big, and even if he makes up for it, it will be difficult for him to catch up with Medierri in his achievements.

It's a pity, but fate is like this, and no one can change it.

The Arcane Empire values mages, and other professions have a hard time surviving. If he hadn't met Jani, Smith hadn't been brought to him, and he wouldn't have been able to keep his shop, let alone become a sword cultivator.

There is nothing wrong with the soul, Xia He is proficient in this way, if he can hide it from himself, unless Smith is already an existence beyond the demigods.

"Alright, Smith, you can follow me from now on. ”

"Yes, my lord. ”

"Jani, what are you going to do in the future?" Xia He asked the two-handed swordsman.

Jani was stunned, he still had a choice?

"My Earl's Court, in fact, would rather be lacking than excessive, and since you have followed me, I want you to play your best role. If you are willing to lead an army, I will teach you the art of war, if you are willing to be a guard, I will teach you swordsmanship, and if you are willing to manage, it will not be a problem to become a city lord or something in the future. ”

Jani was stunned, a little uneasy.

Xia He smiled: "Don't be restrained, I lack strong fighters now, you can charge if you are willing to charge." I don't need anyone to protect my own safety. But in the future, on my side, there will always be some people like Smith, who are not high in rank for the time being, but they are more important and need to be guarded. ”

Jani said: "My lord, I want to go to the battlefield again, and I want to be a guard. ”

"Then be my own soldier, and protect Smith for the time being, he is too young and late to learn the sword. ”

"Yes. "Jani doesn't mind the rank, as long as the lord thinks he's important enough. A person must always have his position, Jani did not want to be rich and rich, he hoped that he could become a strong professional, someone to take care of food and clothing, and he could make more money, without having to be a mercenary or a robber.

Many professionals, because no one uses them, have to become robbers.

If you send a professional to go home and farm, where will he be willing?

"I'll give you a basic swordsmanship when I go back, you guide Smith first, and you can learn it from scratch yourself, which is also good for you. ”

Jani rejoiced, didn't he follow the Earl just to change his fate?

Xia He got two more people here, and sighed that the level of this world is not low, otherwise he would not be able to find so many people who are suitable for learning swords. Daomen's qualification requirements for sword cultivation may not be high, but Xia He is not cultivating thugs, but hopes that someone can assist him and continue to go on in the future.

In this case, sword cultivation must at least live forever.

There are not many immortal sword cultivators.

After getting the information confirmed by the princess, Xia He went to talk to the king of the county again, and Snowvis said: "You say, my sister wants you to follow her to the northland to fight?"

"Just dealing with a few minor nobles. ”

Snowvis frowned, he was very optimistic about Xia He, although he couldn't be accepted as a subordinate, but what did his sister mean by doing this, it really seemed like it was rumored?

It stands to reason that it won't, if my sister wants to get married, she can't find an earl.

No, this guy has a lot of military achievements this time, and with the experience in the Voodoo Forest, it is enough to be promoted to the Marquis.

The princess marries the marquis, and the marquis is likely to be promoted, and then becoming a duke is a step to the sky.

Asla, is this what you want?

Xia He didn't care how their sisters and brothers guessed each other, after making it clear, Xia He was no longer in charge of the city defense, anyway, the reinforcements came, and his 3,000 people would stay under his command and go back to the north to use them. From now on, the training of these 3,000 people has been transferred, together with the people on the princess's side.

Because there are still a lot of equipment changes and weapon changes, this time the empire is prepared, and the resources have been brought with us, and you can use the alchemy factory here to arm Xia He and the princess's soldiers.

Xia He was transferred from Snowvis's subordinates back to the princess's side.

Xia He has been trapped here for a long time, and he is tired of it in his heart, if he goes back to Storm Point, the construction of the academy will be almost carried out, what can he do here?

Fortunately, there is a goddess of doom in Cape Storm, and it is not out of control.

The goddess of wealth is considered a temporary ally, and there are some troops of the empire over there, so there is no problem with security for the time being. Listen to the princess, the empire also has some legends over there, fighting for the fragments of the godhead of the sea.

This level of battle, I can't participate in it for the time being.

Xia He contributed some drawings, and he was training troops and changing equipment every day, which was very illusory. However, he was not needed for the battle, he seized the time, refined the black gold, and gained a lot.

In the blink of an eye, another month had passed, and it was already the middle of January. The amount of black gold refined by Xia He here is a bit large, but the raw coal in the warehouse is also too accumulated, and even if he has a furnace, it is impossible for him to finish smelting.

On this day, Princess Angelina asked Xia He to come over, Xia He went very reluctantly, and in the princess's small building, he saw those familiar faces again.

The mages of the princess mage group greeted Xia He one by one.

"Earl, introduce you to someone. Angelina sat on the throne, her voice cold and indifferent, very princess-like.

"Your Highness. Xia He nodded casually, not giving the princess face at all.

Angelina's expression remained unchanged, as if she was used to Xia He's attitude.

"This is Macbeth, the First Earl of the Empire, you two talk more. The princess pointed to a middle-aged man in his thirties on the seat on the right-hand side of the room.

"Hello, I'm Asla. Xia He took the initiative to greet.

"I'm Macbeth, and I've admired my name for a long time. ”

Xia Hezhi smiled, this Macbeth is an epic realm magician, and his real age is not too big, at most fifty or sixty years old, for an epic mage, he is still very young. Such a person has the hope of advancing to a legend.

But this hope is usually one in tenth, or even less.

This Macbeth looks amiable, and his heart is very arrogant, and he has admired his name for a long time, which is purely pantothenic acid. It's not that Xia He can't hear it.

He is an epic magician, he is young, but his fame is far less than that of Xia He.

The name of the Blood Mage is now spread among the nine magic academies.

Everyone sat down, and the princess directly started the topic and said, "The number of undead on the ice field is not much, and most of them have gone to the three provinces of the Northland. We can now send our forces into the Northlands. Before that, let me tell you about the composition of our troops. ”

Macbeth looked very serious, and Xia He looked at it and wanted to laugh.

This kind of experimental use of troops is to collect data for magicians, and in the past month or so, the alchemy factory has been in full swing, and Xia He has also been there a few times, and it can be seen that the empire is preparing to make a big move.

"I took ten thousand men, and the king gave me six thousand, Macbeth three thousand, and Asra three thousand, six thousand more than I had expected. Now we have 22,000 people, not counting magicians, not counting airships. ”

Xia He has also seen the princess's army, at least her 10,000 people are much stronger than the 3,000 under her command.

"There are not many soldiers, half a corps is not enough, and I have no other arrangements, I am the Chinese army, and the six thousand people given to me by the king of the county are divided into two parts, one thousand as the forward, and five thousand as the rear. Asla, you march on my left hand side and protect the left flank. Macbeth, you march on my right hand and protect the right flank. ”

"Yes. Macbeth agreed.

"Asla's mages are a little small, only twenty, and I will assign him another twenty men. ”

Macbeth was a little jealous, but his subordinates also had mages rationed by the royal family, and he couldn't say anything. What made him angry was that the blood mage brought two people and a child, and the rest were given by the empire, but the strength was still from the blood mage.

3,000 people, but all of their own families.

"Our people have all been re-equipped, there are enough tanks, and there are enough airships. This time into the Northland, our first target is Black Mountain City, this place is built next to the iron mine, the lord probably has more than 10,000 troops, and the city defense is also quite powerful. ”

Angelina finished speaking, and her mages smiled cooperatively.

The princess is joking, what is the scale of a city defended by 10,000 people? Compared to Fort Woods, it is probably a small toy.

"The goal is still far away, and if we set off now, it will probably be there in February. Along the way, you will work harder, and I still have some work to be done for you. Of course, each mage is equipped with a vehicle. ”

"I have to take a little child with me, Your Highness. ”

"You can let him ride in the car. ”

"I want Jani to protect him. ”

Macbeth sneered, but didn't speak, Xia He heard the harshness, so he looked at him and said, "Earl, what are you laughing at?"
