After watching the competition, there was nothing to do for the time being, so Sir Dias rarely let Carl and Pyne move freely, and generously gave some natas, which was a squander for his two sons, plus the fifty natas that Carl earned before, he was also a little spare money.

Pine didn't hesitate to walk to the armor shop, although he couldn't even buy an arm armor with his money, but it didn't stop him from looking at the majestic armor.

Karl thought for a moment and walked in the direction of the smithy, where he liked to sharpen his sword if he could.

"You still want to build something to deal with the knight lord with something like you? Forget it, don't pee and take care of it yourself, phew! ”

Before he could enter the blacksmith's shop, Karl heard an insult coming from inside, and a young man with a dirty face was kicked to the ground, just as if he was holding something to keep it from falling to the ground.

"What's going on?" Carl walked up and couldn't help but ask.

It's just that the kicking man glanced at Carl, didn't even bother to pay attention to him, and built his own things, and could see that he should be a blacksmith here, or an apprentice or something.

"Are you alright?" Karl saw that the man ignored him, nor was he angry, but only lifted up the young man who had fallen to the ground.

"Thank you, sir." The young man gave Carl a grateful look.

"There's a nosy guy here." Seeing Carl's actions, the man shook his head.

"Why are you ......?" Karl looked at the young man with some confusion.

"I've built a batch of things, and in my opinion, if they can be used on the battlefield, they can definitely do a lot of damage to the knights, but they don't believe me......" The young man shook his head a little disappointed.

"And against the knight's weapons? Whimsical, tsk, it's better to waste time doing these than to build an iron sword, you should also think about why the master doesn't like you anymore, it's okay, you can still save me some snacks like this hahaha. At first, the man heard him and laughed again.

Karl understood, although he was definitely a little pitiful for this young man, but he also understood, you must know that in this era, the heavily armed knight is like a fortress, to that station, thick armor can make people desperate, you now say that you have created a weapon that can cause damage to the knight, who would believe it.

"Can you show me what you've built?" Karl was a little curious, he could see that the young man was confident in his weapon, and although he didn't believe it either, it did arouse his curiosity.

"Of course, sir, you see, that's it." The young man put the contents of his arms on the ground, which immediately attracted Karl's eyes.

It was something like a triangle, with three toes on the ground and one pointed upward, and its foot distance was not bad, no matter what angle, as long as it was placed on the ground, it would ensure that one of the toes was pointing upward. The thing is very immature, and it can only be said to be a rudimentary thing.

"Sir, I call this thing a stinging horse, and I think if I spill him on the ground, it will definitely make the other knight dare not move!" The young man boasted that this thing was a masterpiece that he had racked his brains to come up with.

It looked simple and not very difficult to make, but it shocked Carl's heart.

He knew this thing, in his previous life, this thing had a name, it was called Zama Nail!

According to what he had seen, it seemed that Zhuge Liang used it for the cavalry in the north of the other party, and it shined on the battlefield.

At that time, the land of Shu Han did not produce war horses, so it was impossible to train cavalry, and it was very difficult to face the north with a huge cavalry army, so this kind of thing appeared.

This kind of defensive stuff did cause a lot of trouble to Cao Wei's cavalry.

That is to say, if this thing is used properly, it can really cause a lot of losses to the knights, after all, if you give the opponent's war horse a stab, and someone turns on the horse, the knight's combat effectiveness can be reduced by more than half on the spot.

"Tell me, your name." Carl asked, it was not easy for such a young apprentice to have such a great idea.

"Sir, my name is Alan." Alan didn't know why Carl suddenly asked for his name, but he said it proudly.

"Very good Alan, I'm Carl, I bought all these Zama nails of yours, and I also hope that you will build another batch for me, it doesn't need too much, just a dozen more, can you do it?" Carl said in a deep voice.

"Sir, are you telling the truth?" Alan was obviously excited, because the other party wanted to buy something of his creation, which was undoubtedly an acknowledgment of his work.

"Of course it's true, I just ask if it can be done?" Carl nodded, this thing might come in handy.

"Of course, sir, just give me four days...... Oh no, three days! It only takes three days, and I can get it for you, as long as sir, if you can, I hope you can pay me ten natas as payment......" As he spoke, Alan quietly glanced at Carl's expression, and his voice lowered a little, probably because he was afraid that the other party would think that he had made a high bid.

"This is five natas, as a deposit, I will pick up the goods in three days, if it is okay I will pay the remaining five natas." Karl was very bold and gave the deposit directly, in his opinion, it is definitely not a loss to spend ten natas to buy these, and when the time comes, maybe Sir Dias can reward himself, and besides, these natas were originally won back, and he is not very distressed.

"Great, sir, may God bless you!" Alan nodded hurriedly and took the five natas, his eyes were shining, this was the first pot of gold he had earned, and the meaning to him was self-evident.

"There really is a fool to buy your thing, what kind of fool is this, this world, alas." The man at the beginning saw that Carl actually bought it, and put on a foolish look, which made Carl very uncomfortable.

But Carl didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned around and left, this man didn't know the goods, his mouth still stinks, he didn't want to stay here, and he also knew that this man was obviously jealous.

To Carl's surprise, however, when he took the Zama Nail back to show Pyne and Ser Dias, the two of them also expressed their incomprehension of Carl's purchase of such a thing.

"My brother, you're trying to tell me that you wasted ten natas to buy these useless things? Okay, you're going to laugh at me, hahahahaha. Pyne had a foul mouth as always, and laughed like he was about to burst into tears.

"Carl, I have to say that you did buy something useless this time, although you earned the money yourself, I shouldn't say anything, but I still think it's too wasteful." Sir Dias also shook his head, I don't know why his youngest son is usually very smart, why did he do something stupid now?

"Father, this is really useful! If we can use it properly......" Karl was about to say something, but was interrupted by Sir Dias.

"Enough, I'm not going to let my soldiers bring these useless toys, it will only distract them from the fight."

Seeing that Sir Dias was so resolute, Karl sighed and said no more.

After all, Sir Dias is the patriarch of the Dias family, and the army listens to him, if he doesn't agree with something, then even if Karl thinks it's useful, it won't help.

However, it also gave Carl some thoughts in his heart, if only he could have his own army......

But this is just a thought, after all, he does not have this qualification now, and the identity of the second son is destined that he will not inherit the title and fief of Sir Dias, and with his current self, he definitely does not have enough financial resources to raise a group of troops.

"Okay Carl, stop thinking about what you are...... What's it called...... Oh oh oh, by the way, Zama Nail, don't think about Zama Nail, just now, an invitation from the Earl of Lens came, asking us to go to the castle for a banquet, and the Earl of Lens seemed to want to get all the vassals together before the war. Sir Dias seemed to see Karl's frustration, patted him on the shoulder, and said.

"Banquet?" Karl raised his head, the banquet held in the castle was the most popular event of this era, whether it was with other nobles or with his own vassals, and it would also be an event to increase his prestige, so that his name could spread throughout the kingdom with the banquet.

This is not only a banquet for pulling in relationships, but also a banquet for political exchanges.

"Hey, I haven't been to the Earl's banquet yet, so I'm sure there's going to be a lot of food." Pine is indeed Pine, and the focus is actually here.

"When you go to the castle, you all have to maintain enough etiquette, you must know that there are all nobles there, and the baron will be there, and it will be bad if you lose your manners."

Ser Dias admonished, especially as he said this, with his eyes fixed on his eldest son, Pyne, to see to whom he was speaking.

His eldest son is brave enough, but he lacks a bit of intelligence many times, and he is too reckless, which makes him a little worried, although it is not a bad thing to have a brave heir in this era.

"Got it, got it." Pine waved his hand, as if impatient.

"You'd better know." When Sir Dias saw him like this, he glared at him.

"Alright, pack it all up, and we're off to go." Sir Dias obviously attaches great importance to this banquet, too, the Dias family can't afford to hold a banquet, and usually has no other nobles except relatives, so he can take advantage of this opportunity to get to know more nobles, the most important thing is to let the Dias family show their eyes in front of the Earl of Lens, so that the earl can remember that he still has such a knight family.
