Remember, you can only use bows and arrows and melee weapons. Traps and hounds must never be used!

If you catch a fish, you can only eat it that day, and you can't eat other meats.

Autumn is the last time to hunt a grizzly bear, and if you don't catch a grizzly bear in winter, it means that you have failed the trial. Remember, you can't hunt bears in winter, that's the rule of the bear father.

If you can gain the trust of a grizzly bear, remember to treat him like a brother or friend. Because he will be your closest comrade-in-arms and partner in the future. He will accompany you all your life, from birth to death, and to the battlefield with you.

Finally, with your firm faith and tenacious will, enter the forest to test! Father Bear is waiting for you, Father Bear is calling you.

In front of the temple of Ersun, the high priest Yeskovich stood and shouted to the thirty-three followers of Ersun who were about to enter the trial in the forest. They were selected samurai by training and were among the most devout believers. According to Rod and Yeskovich's idea, it would be great if half of the group could pass the trial. In fact, Rhodes also went through the trials of Ersun that year, and went deep into the Troll Mountains alone, fought the giant bear in a violent snowstorm, and finally subdued him. There was also the later White Bear Usok. This story has become a good story.

Looking at these thirty-three warriors, Rhodes really hoped that more of them would pass the trial, the better. The Bear Knight is a Kislev class, and it is not just a class, but also a culture, symbolizing Mrs. Kesley's hard-working and unyielding fighting spirit. It's just that after the third chaos invasion, the bear knights in the kingdom became increasingly scarce, and finally they were on the verge of extinction. The whole of Kislev has not heard of the news of the Bear Rider in nearly fifty years.

Rhodes hopes to revive the majesty of the Kislev Bear Cavalry, and imagine what a bloody epic it would be to have a mighty Bear Rider galloping all the way to the enemy, roaring and rushing towards the enemy on a bloody battlefield. However, it is unknown whether these believers will be able to withstand the test.

Among them, some are retired veterans, some are active Blackhammer Fort infantrymen, some are old hunters, some are blacksmiths, and some are just farmers...... Yeskovich taught them the pure way of Esun and selected them from hundreds of believers to be qualified for trials. It's an honor for them. However, both Rod and Yeskovich knew that autumn was short in the north, and that it would be unfortunate for the group to return before winter arrived. Access to food alone has become a major challenge.

"Brother, hard work. ”

After the speech, Rod patted Yeskovich on the shoulder and thanked him. This guy came from the far northern forest, and traveled thousands of miles to Black Hammer Fort to find himself, just to fulfill his mission as a follower of Ersun and carry out the will of the bear god, this piety and firmness made Rhodes doubly moved.

Looking at the temple of Ersun, which took eight months to build, Rhodes thought that it was time for another temple to start construction - the Temple of Thor. Thor's blessings are endless, if the bear god Ursun gave him an invincible body, then Thor gave himself a powerful weapon, and the power of thunder and lightning has been used by himself for the past two years, helping him defeat countless enemies. In order to show his respect for Thor, Rhodes decided to start construction of the Temple of Thor as soon as possible. If it were possible, maybe it would be possible to cultivate a Thor Warband like the Knights of the Sons of Ersun......

......

After leaving the Temple of Ersun, Rhodes took Caroline to the stadium, which was considered a relaxation after work. There will be a rugby game in the afternoon. The two contestants are from the Kislev Industrial, Agricultural, and Commercial Groups on one side and the Norsca Hunting Group on the other.

The difference in strength between the two sides seems to be very large, but in fact the difference is not that big. Because the mass base of the workers, peasants and businessmen is very large, the population base is large, and the team members who can play the game are all one in a hundred. Although the Norsca hunting group seems to be good at fighting and strong in combat, the number of hunting groups is not large, only a few hundred. Therefore, these fifteen people are equivalent to one of the six. Compared with the one in a hundred of the workers, peasants and business groups, the quality of the team members is actually about the same. After all, one out of a hundred scraps will always be able to hit.

The completion of the stadium has brought entertainment to the people of Black Hammer Castle, as well as the passion for life. At the same time, it also brought another channel for Rhodes to choose the source of soldiers. It is said that violent rugby at Black Hammer Fort is like a large training ground, which involves many factors such as individual combat strength, teamwork, and tactical use. When you need to choose a troop source, you can choose from them. The winning team in the decisive battle must be the one who is ruthless enough and hard enough to fight, and has a certain tactical command and teamwork ability. Let them join the army as soldiers, it is definitely a good seedling.

Rhodes once thought that Caroline would also build such a stadium in Heidelberg, both as a training ground and as an entertainment ground for the people. But when you think about it, Heidelberg may not have the right soil for the sport to develop.

When he built the stadium and "invented" rugby, he wanted to pass the time of the Norskas, so that they could vent their blood and passion on the field, so as not to cause trouble in the town. In addition, the sport was originally designed for the Norscans, it is very violent, relying on strength and speed to win, it can be described as a fist to the flesh, and the strong sound of blows can stimulate the nerves of these barbarians to the maximum.

However, this may not be the case in Heidelberg, where most of the people are comfortable with the status quo, and there are almost no Norscans in the territory, so there is no security problem. Coupled with the huge cost of construction of the stadium and the slow return, Caroline abandoned the plan to build the stadium after deliberation. As a result, the sport became popular only at Blackhammer Castle.

"My lord, a leatherman has asked to see you. ”

"Oh, what's the matter with him?"

He said he hoped that before the next match, the players of the Workers' and Peasants' Merchant Corps would wear the leather armor he had made and have the name of his shop engraved on it. ”

Before the game begins, a cobbler in the territory asks to see Rod.

All kinds of merchants and civilians in the territory asked to see him, this kind of thing Rhodes was too accustomed to. However, when the guards told him what he was coming from, Rhodes couldn't help but be amazed by the arrival of the little cobbler. His ideas are exactly the same as his original thoughts, and he can be described as the earliest brand businessman.

Rod threw the game aside and received the little cobbler.

"Tell me, how did you come up with this idea? Who told you that it could be like this?"

The cobbler boss who was interviewed thought that Rhodes was questioning him at first, and quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

"This ...... I just thought of it suddenly, if you don't agree, my lord, forget it. I put the thought away, oh no, I never mention it again. ”

"No, no, no, that's a pretty good idea. It can expand the reach of your store, doesn't it?"

Rod said with a smile, and got up to help the little cobbler up. His eyes were full of joy, and it can be said that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. While everyone was watching the game, cheering for the fierceness and bloodlust of the game, the tiny craftsman was paying attention to the details and observing the business opportunities.

No one dictates what the two sides must wear, you can wear ordinary coarse linen clothes on the court, you can wear heavy iron armor on the court, or you can go bare-armed. In short, how easy it is to win the game, how to come.

Although the protective performance of plate armor and chain mail is very strong, but it is too heavy, rugby pays attention to speed and passion, if the player wears iron armor when grabbing the ball, although he has the advantage of hand-to-hand combat, but it is very cumbersome to run, and will soon be overwhelmed by more than a dozen opponents again.

In addition, iron armor is expensive to build, so few people usually wear this thing to the game. Most of them wore ordinary burlap clothes, and some chose to wear leather armor. Although the protective performance of leather armor is not as good as that of iron armor, it has enough defense for punches and kicks. In addition, it is easy to engrave words on leather armor, which is the best propaganda tool.

That's what the little cobbler thought about, and when the champion team walks out of the stadium, it's a cult following, and some of the uniforms they wear have become collectibles. If you give a team uniform for free, isn't it the same as promoting your own product? This is also the effect that Ruder Finn has been hoping for, allowing the advertising industry to arise spontaneously in the territory. Once it becomes large-scale, it is a completely new industry.

"I support your idea, when is the next competition?"

"At the end of the month. ”

The little cobbler replied excitedly.

"Okay, before the end of the month, you build fifteen pairs of high-quality leather armor, pick a team, and sponsor them for free. ”

"My lord, what is the sponsorship?"

There was a puzzled look on the cobbler's face......

"It's to fund them for free. Rod smiled awkwardly, "If you succeed in winning the championship, your shop will be famous." If they don't want to, I'll help you then. ”

The little cobbler almost thought he had misheard, and he fell to his knees and thanked Rhodes to Dade. He originally thought that the lord would not agree to his groundbreaking idea, but he didn't expect that the lord not only agreed, but also said that he wanted to help himself, which was simply something he never dreamed of......
