"This. ”

"What's the matter, is there anything you can't say?" Reich looked at Robiel strangely, and he was not angry.

"My lord, this is the method my son came up with. ”

"Is your son a blacksmith too?"

"No, it's not... He has not yet passed the blacksmith's examination. Robier shook his head, his eyes looked at Lei Zhe very carefully, he was not a blacksmith but participated in this research, he was very afraid that Lei Zhe would be held responsible, once he was held accountable, it was difficult to imagine what kind of punishment he would receive, his current status made him suffer some gains and losses, he was very afraid of Lei Zhe's punishment.

"Isn't it? Isn't it the blacksmith who thinks this way, and now he's in the craftsman's department?" a smile appeared on the corner of Lei Zhe's mouth.

"Yes, in the newly built iron furnace room. ”

"Bring him to me. ”

"Yes, yes. Robbile was a little trembling as he spoke.

"Don't worry, I'm not bothering your son, I'm just a little curious about the person who can come up with this method. ”

"Yes, sir. Hearing Lei Zhe say this, Robbiel breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and ran towards the iron furnace room.

There are many extensions of the craftsman department, and various workshops are also under construction, and the craftsman department does not make daily utensils, and the craftsmen who can enter the craftsman department are mainly used for the research and development of new technologies.

Passing the examination of the craftsman department is just a qualified craftsman certificate, and if you want to enter the craftsman department, you must pass the consent of Lei Zhe.

Soon a dark-skinned, sturdy young man was dragged into the courtyard by Baby.

"Lord Earl!"

"My lord, this is my son Valc. ”

"How old are you?"

“14。 ”

"So young?" Lei Zhe was stunned, Valker's appearance was indeed a little old, and staying in the blacksmith shop for a long time to help Robier make iron made Valker's body look very strong, not like a fourteen-year-old child at all.

"Did the idea for the four wheels come from you?"

"Yes, Lord Earl, I have made a four-wheeled ballista after a horse-drawn carriage, but the front wheels have been changed to allow the crossbow cart to move flexibly on the battlefield and shoot effectively. ”

"Unlike a horse-drawn carriage, it can freely change the angle of rotation and control the direction of the entire ballista through the rail bar at the rear. ”

"That's a good idea, reward three gold coins, and Robbiel will write it down for him. ”

"My lord, no need, it is our duty to find a new and strange method, how can we ask for a reward from an adult. ”

"You didn't invent this, since it's your son's idea, you don't have to refuse for him, I won't give you Robier, but your son Valk, and you don't have to think about exploiting him for these three gold coins. ”

"My lord, I don't want three gold coins, can you give me some other material rewards?"

"Bold, Valk, how dare you ask in front of the Earl!" Robbier's head is big, this bastard's personality is too wild, although Lei Zhe looks kind, but after all, he is a noble earl.

The aristocratic lord's thoughts were always puzzling, and he was afraid that his son would be punished.

"Although three gold coins are not much, you should be able to buy what you want to buy, I'm a little curious, what do you want?"

"Metal, a ferrous metal in the Earl's Cave. ”

"Metal?" Lei Zhe looked at the kid in front of him suspiciously, he does have a private mine, yes, but the output is not very high, and the minerals that are privately hoarded every year are also accumulated and not sold.

Most of the time, maintaining and protecting one's territory requires force, and the value of metal cannot be measured for the time being.

"Well, sir, I sneaked into the mine the other day. ”

"You bastard! "Robier is dumbfounded, it's illegal to break into the mine, this stupid boy really blurted out anything.

But what made Robier even more puzzled was that Lei Zhe didn't seem to be angry, but listened with interest.

"I found a strange metal in the mines, unlike iron ore, which is difficult to melt, but tough on steel, and you told my father to choose the right materials to build a ballista. ”

"In order to make the arrow more powerful, the material of the bow arm is particularly important, so I came up with this very tough metal. ”

"How's it going, what's the effect?" Lei Zhe's eyes widened, this kid is really a talent.

"Well, I haven't tried it yet, and the amount of metal in my hand is too small, so I'm ......" Valker touched his bare head embarrassedly.

"Can you bring me the metal?"

"Okay!"

Looking at a black thing on the ground, Lei Zhe squatted down and touched it, hard, and there was no information about this metal in his mind.

"Colmar, take someone to the warehouse at once, and bring all this black metal over. ”

"All of them?"

"Well, I'm going to see if the ballista made from this thing has improved. ”

Colmar nodded and immediately left the craftsman's department, watching Lei Zhe give the order, Valk roared happily, he was worried that he couldn't get this black metal, but he didn't expect Lei Zhe to send things to the door.

"Why didn't this kid become a craftsman? Isn't he interested in striking iron?" Lei Zhe looked at Robier strangely, his grandfather and father were both blacksmiths, and there was no reason why he should not inherit this skill as a grandson.

"No, my lord, this kid's strength is not enough to pass the blacksmith's assessment, and the strength of the blacksmith is very high if you want to build a qualified ironcraft. ”

"Yes, this guy's food will be improved in the future, and the blacksmith's certificate will be issued to him directly. ”

"Adult ......"

"Really, thank you, thank you, Lord Earl!" Valker couldn't control his body a little, and wanted to rush forward to hug Lei Zhe's body, but he paused again considering his identity.

This funny move naturally made Lei Zhe couldn't help laughing.

"Robiel, are you ready with everything I asked you to prepare?"

"Well, it's ready, but it's going to take a while with weapons. ”

"Hurry up, there's not much time left, I want to surprise that girl. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

"Wait for Colmar to bring the metal over and you can study it, I'll go first. After Lei Zhe finished speaking, he walked to the main entrance.

Erin was still eating, and I don't know when Eiffel couldn't control her little mouth and secretly ate it.

"Brother, I'm going to go out!"

"Well, now brother will take you to a good place, go, Adolf. ”

The three of them got into the carriage, and with the support of the knights, a large group of men and horses walked on the road in a majestic manner, and when they saw the sign of the earl, many of them immediately gave way, and reciprocated with a pious etiquette.
