Surdak found that there was a blacksmith shop in the camp, but the facilities in the blacksmith shop were really rudimentary.

In addition to the stove and wooden box bellows made of refractory stones, there was only an iron ingot next to it, on which the hammer had been struck countless times, and the outer outline was piled up like a short, thick king oyster mushroom.

A Mediterranean blacksmith in leather trousers sat resting in a chair, the fire of the hearth also weighed down by the earth, not fully burning.

Some broken swords hung in the pavilion where the blacksmith shop sheltered from the rain, and occasionally a gust of wind blew, and suddenly a string of clanging sounds would be heard in the shed.

Surdak leaned up and saw an old blacksmith with a flushed face lying on a wicker chair snoring like thunder, his skin curled red with a precipitated red color from the years he had been exposed to charcoal fire.

Surdak coughed lightly.

The old blacksmith awoke from his slumber, awoke at once, took up the wooden bowl in his hand, and walked towards the pavilion, saying:

"Have you had dinner...... Have you eaten dinner? Eh, what's the matter with you, if it's a damaged weapon, hang it in the pavilion over there, and it will take about two weeks to repair......"

The old blacksmith rubbed his cheek vigorously, then looked at Surdak earnestly, and looked at him suspiciously.

The blacksmith picked up the water cup on the small square table, took a sip of water, picked up the hammer in his hand, his eyes fell on Surdak's waist, and saw that the sword on his waist was a broadsword, and the delicate patterns on it made the old blacksmith frown frequently, and finally said: "If you are going to repair this kind of magic weapon, I can't do it here!" ”

"I don't need to repair weapons, can I just take a look here?"

Surdak walked up to the old blacksmith and asked.

"Of course!"

The old blacksmith saw that Surdak did not need to repair his weapon, and sat back down on the wicker chair.

Surdak walked into the pavilion full of weapons, and found that the pavilion was hung with ordinary weapons, some of which looked to have obvious joints and crudely workmanship

A good stacked steel knife is actually fixed with two layers of iron sheets, even if the weapon is connected......

Surdak was speechless...... It's better not to connect it, and the broken blade is much better than the connection method of this steel-clad clamping blade.

"No way, the blade is too short and it will be a disadvantage on the battlefield," the old blacksmith said as if he could read Surdak's thoughts, and walked up from behind and explained to Surdak.

"There should be a furnace here." Surdak wasn't a blacksmith, but he had a copper mine, and he knew a little bit about it.

The old blacksmith made a short voice in his nose: "Humph! Not to mention the furnace, even if there is a hard enough cutting board, it can make me feel better......"

Before he could say anything more, his voice was interrupted by Edgar, who came over and said with a smile, "Old Jon, I really plan to carry one back for you this time, but the chopping board in the blacksmith shop in Natakkale town can't move at all, and the carriage can't come to us......"

The old blacksmith did not listen to Edgar's explanation at all, and exclaimed:

"Go, go, don't tell me so many excuses, what about the stove, even if there is no stove, what about the wind box with the wind system, okay, you haven't got any of this, just bring me back a few bags of coke! This kind of Damascus steel is not hot enough in my furnace, and it can't melt at all......"

"Ha, I really brought this back for you."

Edgar said proudly.

Then a couple of fighters brought in the outer sacks, and untied a sack, revealing some dark gray coking coal.

The old blacksmith was overjoyed, and paid no more attention to Edgar, and at once stabbed the fire open, and piled a handful of coke on it......

Then he called in the elementary school apprentice who was playing outside, and the two of them pulled the air box and began to heat up the stove.

Edgar followed Surdak and said to him with a flattering face:

"That's pretty much the way things are in the camp, but this time we captured the town of Takkale, and a lot of things can be brought back soon, and the situation here can be somewhat improved."

Surdak walked out of the blacksmith shop noncommittally.

……

Everyone in the camp eats in the canteen, which is said to be a canteen, but it is just a canopy that has been erected.

Dinner was good, there was fish soup that the children caught in the river during the day, and there was also jam made by the women who had just come back from boiled berries, and each person had a piece of rhizome of unknown plants.

Adult arms are so thick, taste a little glutinous, a little astringent, each person sends a section, drizzled with some berry sauce, sour, not too unpalatable.

There are three of them, and the rebel fighters can be seen sitting in essentially the same area, with some officers and women in one area, and a group of women and children in one area.

The rebel fighters were the largest group in the camp, and the canopy was very large, with rows of wooden tables and chairs.

There were fewer officers with women, so the pavilions for shelter from the rain were smaller, everyone ate the same food, and the officers didn't have extra meat, and Surdak felt that the only advantage of these officers in the cafeteria was that they didn't need to wash their own dishes after eating.

The rest of the women, the elderly, and the children were huddled together in a pergola, and according to Samira's investigation, many of the children in the camp were orphans picked up from the battlefield by the rebels after a war.

Having lost their families, these children will become vagrants if they stay in the town and don't starve to death.

These children have experienced war, and their parents are not around, so they are very sensible.

Seeing that the children were doing well at the camp, Surdak's impression of Edgar was much better.

In fact, Edgar held a special dinner party to entertain the magician Arvid and his followers, but Surdak said that this kind of reception dinner, it was enough to have the magician Arvid alone, and he wanted to taste the big pot of rice in the camp.

……

After dinner, a group of children would sit in the glade instead of going back to bed early.

The energetic rebel fighters said something defiant to each other, and those who did not accept had to stand up and try their wrestling, and there were basically no rules in this kind of fighting, the only thing was that they were not allowed to use weapons, nor were they allowed to wear armor, and they had to stop if they conceded defeat.

There is a glint of hope in the children's eyes, and they always like to worship the strong and will cheer for the strong when they fight.

The rebel fighters had lingering hatred in their eyes, they just wanted to vent, and they didn't even care about winning or losing, but they were all very measured.

Life here is a bit more primitive, but generally not bad.

With the river, Thea's life is very comfortable, and she spends much more time in the river than on the shore, but her identity has always been a secret to the rebels, except for a few people in Surdak who know that she is from the Canahai clan.

Samira's ability to hunt not only impressed the harpoon-wielding children by the river, but also shocked some of the camps' hunting teams, and she went out on a safari with them, and met a flock of birds on the way, which were green-feathered, and many people called them cow-eyes because of their small bodies.

Samira chased the cows over two hills in a row, and the small that she shot down actually gave the ogre a full meal.

The little are peeled off the skin, then the internal organs are removed, and only a handful of salt is sprinkled to marinate it, and it is fried until crispy with animal fat......

The sorcerer Arvid continues to live his happy life in this camp, the only minor trouble is that his injuries seem to heal more slowly, and he secretly asks Surdak to bless him with the 'Divine Blessed Body', which is said to allow him to win a war.

Surdak stayed in the camp for three days, and then prepared to go with the Evid Wizard to the rebels' rear to investigate.

The night before leaving, while everyone was having dinner, he walked into the canopy where the children were eating, and pulled out two large wooden boxes wrapped in straw ropes from his magic waist bag, and the smell of grease emitted from the wooden boxes was very strong.

"I don't know if I'll join you in the future, but I want to give you a small gift before I leave......

Under the eager gaze of a group of children, Surdak cut the straw ropes and pried the lid of the wooden box open, revealing a skinning knife wrapped in oiled paper.

Surdak handed the knives into each child's hands and said, "Whether you need to peel or cut meat in the wild, it's a good choice, the only thing you don't have to do is you can't always take them to the fire and roast them, otherwise they will quickly become less sharp......

The magician Arvid really couldn't understand why Surdak would have these things in his magic fanny pack, and it was still a whole box of stock......

In addition, what surprised Avid was that Surdak's magic waist bag was bottomless, and he didn't know how many things he took out along the way, although he knew that Surdak had several magic waist bags, but as a space magician, Avid. I still think it's incredible.

In fact, Surdak also prepared several boxes of sentinel swords, which were not worth much in the blacksmith shop in Bena City, and he was worried that Avid would see the clues, so he didn't take them out in the end......
