Chapter 12: The Blacksmith of Velon
The old horse did not walk fast, but at least much faster than a man walked, so in less than half a day, they had entered the knight's manor.
The estate has been expanded twice in the past 20 years and already has a large area.
I heard that if it weren't for this remote corner, it would be impossible to get such a large manor as a knight.
However, this had nothing to do with Sean, and his eyes fell on the market in the southwest of the manor.
In the southwest corner of the manor, it can be seen as the most prosperous place in the neighborhood for dozens of miles, and owning a shop in it is the biggest dream of many people's lives.
The carriage came to a halt at the entrance of the deepest store in the southwest corner.
Everyone looked with envy at the largest shop in the southwest corner.
Maybe it's not the best business, but it's definitely the most well-known and in the best location.
Although there are many small shops in the southwest corner, no one has any objections to this. As for the reason, of course, it is because this is the second Mr. Velen with a high-class professional title other than Scott Knight.
The three teenagers beside Sean, oh, in this world, at the age of sixteen or seventeen, can actually be called youth.
The three of them tried to straighten their chests as if they wanted to prove their strength.
"Oh, my dear Joey, welcome. ”
Velon, who is definitely more than two meters tall, and Joey gave a warm hug, if it weren't for the fact that the two of them were extremely similar in their eyebrows, and they knew that they were related by blood at a glance, Sean really doubted that how could the petite Joey and Velun be siblings of the same mother.
"Veron, I've brought you a few strong teenagers, maybe you'll catch your eye. Joey said with a smile.
Veron's gaze swept around the four men in the carriage.
The waists of the three young men straightened up, and Sean also stood up straight, but due to age restrictions, purely in terms of appearance, he was difficult to beat the horse above the burly and strong.
Veron's gaze finally fell on Sean, and he asked suspiciously, "Who is this little monkey? I'm taking the strongest apprentice, not a children's shelter." ”
"Haha......"
There was a round of good-natured laughter.
Velen is a celebrity here, so when he appeared, there was naturally a crowd of onlookers. Hearing this, the people around him began to laugh.
Joey exclaimed, with a hint of anger in her voice, and said, "Veron, this is Sean, Bond's son, Sean!"
Velen's face suddenly became extremely embarrassed, of course he knew Joey's heart, and he also knew Sean's weight in Old Bond's heart. The two-meter-tall man turned around abruptly, came to the carriage, and said with an exaggerated smile: "Sean, it's been a long time, I didn't recognize you just now, I'm sorry." ”
"It doesn't matter. Sean said with a smile: "The last time I saw you, I was only five years old, and it's normal that you don't recognize you." ”
"Ah, what a clever boy. Velen did not hesitate to praise: "Old Bond taught really well, he is a very capable teacher. What do you want to do this time? Do you want to spend a few days at the manor, or do you want to bring something for Bond? I made him a plowshare, an axe, and a couple of kitchen knives, you can bring them to him. ”
Sean coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Veron, our family's plowshares, axes, and kitchen knives are enough for a hundred years. ”
The people around him all showed sincere envy, although these things were the most common things for the average farmer's family. But these things are all made by Wei Lun himself, and neither the hardness nor the durability can be compared to ordinary blacksmiths.
If the average person has one, it can be used for at least ten years.
"Oh, yes. Wei Lun thought for a while and said, "Then I'll take you to Zhuangzi to play and buy some delicious things." ”
Sean looked at Joey helplessly, he knew that Velonn had completely treated him as a child.
"Veron, Sean wants to be your apprentice. ”
"Apprentice? Wei Lun immediately said solemnly: "I want to be my apprentice, but it is a very fortunate thing. ”
"Mr. Veron, I am not afraid of hardship. ”
"I know. Wei Lun said with a pleasant face, if it was someone else's child, he would have scolded him a long time ago, but Shaun of the old Bond family. Veron can be sure that if he quarrels with Sean, then Joey, who is closest to him, will definitely not stand on his side.
"Sean, if you really want to learn my craft, I'll teach you all of it, but not right now. ”
"Why?"
"Because you're too young, neither strength nor stamina are suitable for this job. ”
Sean lowered his head and was thinking about it, he didn't know that the people around him had already died of envy after listening to Wei Lun's words. This is the first time that Velun has promised someone that he will pass on his skills without reservation.
"Mr. Veron, I would like to know, what is the minimum standard for being your apprentice?"
"Do you really want to know?"
"Yes. ”
"Okay, you, and you, come with me. Veron pointed to the three young men standing stupidly in the carriage, then took Sean's hand and walked to the backyard.
The streets began to bustle again.
"Vilen is going to start selecting apprentices again, and I don't know how many people will be able to meet the criteria this time. ”
"Last time, there were four people, and it seems that there wasn't even one. ”
"The kid I fancy is very sturdy, maybe he can meet the standard. ”
Sean and the others naturally didn't hear these discussions, they came to the backyard, Sean saw it, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, the situation here seems to be very familiar.
