Chapter XXVII: Heraldry and the Blacksmith

"Well, that's the end of the matter, and I'm sure your mother, Lady Aisha, will be happy when we get back." Baron Dias changed the subject.

The woman who was kind and loving to their brother appeared in Carl's mind, and he nodded, and Lady Aisha would be happy to see that the family was accomplished.

"Hey, that's none of my business." Pine shrugged his shoulders.

"Don't say that about Pine, you're a real knight now, too." Baron Dias shook his head, not long ago Count Lens fulfilled his promise and held a knightly ceremony for Carl and some meritorious nobles, which of course also included Pine, after all, Pine was a quasi-knight, and Count Lens had done it before.

"Hah, that's true." Pine nodded, he was still pleased with that.

"But Karl, you may have to go to your fiefdom when you get back." Baron Dias said.

"Understood." Karl nodded, after all, he now had his own fiefdom, so naturally it was impossible for him to stay in the Black Thorn Village as before.

"But before you do, don't forget another important thing." Baron Dias reminded.

Carl tilted his head, not knowing why.

"Cease, my son, you must not forget this." Baron Dias pointed to the blouse on the wall with the Díaz family coat of arms painted on it.

Karl suddenly remembered that Baron Dias had almost forgotten if he didn't say anything, and at the same time he remembered another thing.

"Good father, I'm going to find the heraldic maker you spoke of now.

"Go my boy." Looking at the back of Carl leaving, Baron Dias was very satisfied, and he was very happy to see that his family had produced a noble creation branch with good strength.

……

"Lord Karl, is that all you want?" The bearded heraldic maker confirmed.

"Yes, I don't know how long it will take to make it?" Carl asked.

"Don't worry, Lord Karl, I'm a professional, and I only need two days to make your wood coat of arms and flags." The bearded man patted his chest.

"Two days?" Karl was a little distrustful, in his opinion this should be a big project, two days would not be too short.

"Lord Hakar, don't question my professionalism, I'll start work right away, two days is enough." The bearded man seemed to see Carl's disbelief.

"Okay, I'll come back in two days." Karl was a little embarrassed and nodded, after all, it was recommended by his father, so it should be fine.

"Okay, Lord Karl, let's talk about the charges." The bearded man said again, of course this will not be free, others live on this, don't give money to let others starve to death?

However, this is all a cliché, and it didn't take much time, so Carl confirmed it and paid the deposit.

"The apprentices have started, and we are going to work overtime to make the coat of arms for the young nobles!" After seeing Carl leave, the heraldic maker walked into his room and shouted at the young man inside.

The apprentices also took action immediately, having studied under the heraldic maker for so long, their skills were still good, enough to help the bearded man complete the work.

After leaving the heraldic guild, Karl set off for the blacksmith shop without stopping, and before he left, he had to meet someone.

"Hello, is Alan there?" Carl knocked on the door of the blacksmith shop and asked the middle-aged man who opened the door.

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then looked Carl up and down, sneered, and said, "Isn't this the wronged boss who bought a bunch of waste things from Alan last time, what?" This time you're here to collect a debt from him? ”

Karl narrowed his eyes slightly, the foul mouth of the man in front of him always made him feel irritated.

"Please tell me if Alan is there?" Carl took a breath, but he didn't bother with the other party after all.

"Alan's kid is in there now, and you'll see it when you go in." The middle-aged man also seemed bored, and waved his hand back to his place.

Following the direction pointed by the other party, Carl quickly found Allen, who was covered in soot.

"Sir, why are you here?" Alan was also stunned when he saw Carl, and in his cognition, after the other party completed the transaction with him, he should not have any more intersections with him.

"Alan, I'm here for you." Carl said solemnly.

"Sir, I don't return what I sell, and you have checked that there is no problem." Alan was taken aback by Carl's serious expression, and hurriedly said, he was afraid that the other party would think that the zama nails he sold before would be useless and ask for money.

His voice was almost pleading, he was really short of money, and if Carl really wanted that money back, he really couldn't bear it.

Carl was also confused by the other party's actions, and after reacting, he couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly said: "No, no, no, don't worry, I'm not here to ask you for money, in fact, I am very satisfied with what you have done." ”

Allen, who heard that the other party was not here to settle accounts with him, finally breathed a sigh of relief, so he cautiously asked, "So sir, do you have anything to do with this time?" ”

Carl gave him a deep look, then asked, "Ellen, do you really like to tinker with something like the stinging horse you bought me earlier?" ”

"Yes sir." Alan didn't know why the other party asked like this, but he still answered truthfully.

"Alan, I can tell that you have good blacksmithing skills in the thorn horse you made, and you are definitely a good blacksmith, and your idea is very good, the idea is very good."

"Thank you for the compliment." Alan was a little embarrassed, after all, it was still a little shy to be praised like this in person.

"But with all due respect, you have great ideas, but you don't have the money to implement them, am I right?" Karl said slowly.

Alan was a little frustrated, he knew that the other party was right, he was poor, so poor that he sometimes starved, after all, no one asked him to buy the things he made.

"What the hell do you want to say, sir?" Alan was a little angry, he felt that the other party was playing on himself.

"Alan, don't worry, I have a choice for you now, I am a knight and the lord of Syld Manor and its affiliated villages, I now invite you to become a blacksmith in my territory, I will build a blacksmith shop especially for you, you will be the master there, and I will provide you with enough funds so that you can experiment with your creativity to your heart's content, of course, if necessary, you will need to build for me some things that a normal blacksmith should make, such as iron, weapons, armor...... But you can rest assured that you have enough time to allocate yourself, would you like to? ”

Carl said loudly, his voice was heard by almost everyone in the blacksmith shop, especially the middle-aged blacksmith at the door at the beginning, who looked at this side incredulously.

Alan was also stunned by this sudden news, and his brain seemed to die in an instant, and he couldn't turn around for half a day.

Seeing the other party's stunned look, Carl smiled secretly in his heart, but he was not in a hurry, but waited quietly for the other party.

After another while, Karl asked again, "Alan, would you like to join my territory?" ”

At this moment, Eren reacted, his body trembled slightly with excitement, and at this moment he seemed to feel a great glory, and he saw that God was blessing him and giving him good luck.

"I would like to be honorable Lord Sir, of course I do, I ...... I ......" Alan was so excited, even a little incoherent, that his tongue seemed to be knotted, and he didn't want to make a difference.

"Hahahaha, Alan, it's really great to have you on board!" Carl is also very happy, he values Allen very much, this is a very creative young man.

"Thank you, my lord, for giving me this opportunity." Allen's tears were about to come out, this young nobleman actually valued him so much, and even gave such generous conditions.

"It won't be long before I leave Rensburg for my territory, how long will it take you to go?" Carl asked.

"Anytime, my lord." Alan replied without hesitation, firstly, he really had nothing to clean up, and secondly, he was afraid that the nobles in front of him would regret it.

"Very well Alan, look for me at the inn in Rensberg in two days, and we will leave." Carl nodded and said.

"Okay, I'll be sure to arrive on time!" Alan said immediately.

Carl patted him on the shoulder and turned to leave, but when he passed by the middle-aged blacksmith, he could clearly feel the middle-aged blacksmith's awe of him, and it was obvious that he was frightened by Carl's status as a nobleman with a manor, such a person was definitely a big man in front of them.

At the same time, Carl could also feel that the other party was unconsciously looking at Allen, and his eyes were full of envy and chagrin.

In fact, he was really annoyed, in his opinion, Alan didn't have the ability to make those things, and he forgot that he could, if he had a better attitude before and had a good relationship with this nobleman, would it be his turn to have this opportunity?

Karl shook his head in his heart, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and went straight back to the inn to wait for the coat of arms to be made.

……

"Sir Sir, this is your wood coat of arms and flag." The heraldic maker clapped his hands, and his apprentices hurriedly erected what had been made overnight.

Karl squinted slightly, looked at the pattern on the wooden shield, the eagle on a blue background, and then at the fluttering eagle, the eagle seemed to be about to spread its wings and fly high, every detail was vivid, and you could see the skill of this heraldic maker.

At the same time, Carl also felt an indescribable sense of pride in his heart, which was his own family coat of arms!

"Very good, Kevin, Allen, bring them in." Carl nodded in satisfaction, paid the payment, and handed the coat of arms to the two of them.

Alan looked at the banner with a look of excitement, because he could now be sure that the other party had indeed not deceived him, and only nobles would have their own coats of arms!
