Time flies, although the world is chaotic, but it is not every day to fight and beware of the dark arrows from behind, and there is also stability and prosperity under the theme of chaos.

In addition to inspecting the territory, the daily activities are to drink tea and wine in his own manor, read books, and then enjoy the service of the servants......

Of course, there are also random places, since what happened to Juliana, occasionally, Carl will also have some warmth with Juliana on lonely nights, after all, people have desires, and Carl can't be regarded as a saint.

And Juliana is also an absolute beauty in appearance, convex and convex.

However, Karl didn't want his housekeeper to get pregnant, not to mention whether it would affect the operation and work of the territory, just that the child born in this way was an illegitimate child, and the illegitimate child was very miserable, much worse than the second son, he didn't plan to let himself have such a child, it was irresponsible for the child.

Carl always felt that the contraception here was so bad that he could only use something very primitive, such as animal intestines. Sometimes Carl really wanted to invent the condom, but alas, he didn't have the industrial level.

But having said that, the issue of descendants is indeed very important, a nobleman always needs heirs to inherit his territory and wealth, especially a nobleman like Karl who is in danger, who knows if there will be any accidents, once he dies, then the family will be extinct.

But when people bring it up, Carl always says, "No hurry, no hurry." ”

He was not in a hurry, but his retinue, Baron Dias and Mrs. Aisha, were in a hurry......

However, there have been some turmoil in the relatively stable days of the past six months, and this is worthy of being close to the territory of the Flo people, and it has been plundered four times in half a year!

This is not a small number, four times in half a year, an average of once every month or so, this is not a castle, with incomparable walls and towers, he is not a strong earl or duke, this is just a small manor, and he is only a knight, at most a knight with a lot of wealth.

Fortunately, the four raids were only small-scale, with only twenty or thirty men at a time, and were easily repulsed by Karl, and even captured a group of prisoners as labor to make up for the casualties caused by the war.

But Carl couldn't be happier, because he felt a little weird, and the Flo harassment was becoming more and more frequent.

It stands to reason that knowing that he has a strong defensive force here, of course, compared to those small raiding forces, those Flo people should not come to the wall if they are not strong enough, at least not so often.

But he couldn't help it, he couldn't understand the language of the Flo, he couldn't get any information from them, and he didn't have anyone under him who could speak the language of the Flo.

In the end, he had to give up and enjoy his aristocratic life, and even held a banquet during the banquet to entertain Baron Dias's family, Sir Nord and even Sir Arden, and it was very important to promote the relationship between the families through the banquet.

Sir Nord was very satisfied with Berg's current situation, and he was very happy after a banquet, if he really wanted to say that Berg might be treated better than him now, of course, only in terms of material life, after all, Sir Nord needed to spend that little money on the maintenance of his equipment, and he didn't have much spare money, and Berg didn't spend that much.

But Karl noticed a strange thing, that is, Konstantin did not seem to be very willing to speak, and only occasionally spoke to him about him in a perfunctory way.

……

"My lord, my lord, I succeeded! I did it! ”

As soon as it was dawn, Karl's manor rushed into his blacksmith, and Allen's face was full of excitement and a strange red, as if he was about to burst his veins with hot blood in the next moment.

"Succeeded? Alan, what do you mean by success? Karl asked solemnly, frowning.

"The cold forging method you taught me! I managed to make a sword this way, this sword is stronger than the previous one, and it is tough enough not to break easily, and it is a huge breakthrough for you! Alan shouted.

"Really? God forbid, that's great, take me to see it! Carl had a happy look on his face, and if he really succeeded, it would mean too much.

"My lord, I brought the finished product here." Alan took out the sword he was wearing and handed it to Carl.

Carl took it cautiously, as if it were some fragile item, afraid that it would break.

The blade was long, a little longer than his saber, and the surface was polished to the point where it glowed with cold light, making people shudder, and the slightest stripes made the sword look more beautiful.

"Wow!"

Carl slashed at the air with his long sword, and the sound of breaking the air startled, making Karl's eyes brighter.

"A good sword, a good sword!" Carl couldn't help but admire.

"Kevin, come with me to the training ground and try this sword with me!" Carl was going to take his military governor with him, and Kevin was a good swordsman, and he had to know more about the sword.

"Yes, my lord." Kevin was also very curious, it took a lot of effort for this sword Carl, and the funds provided to Alan were not a small amount, of course, he also knew that once the technical breakthrough was made, it would be easy to build it in the future.

This time both sides of the battle were armoured, and Carl didn't want to be injured by a sword trial.

"Come on, sir, I'm ready." Kevin clearly intended to let Carl attack, and Carl didn't mind, he did have some swordsmanship.

"Ping Pong!"

The sound of the two swords intersecting was crisp and piercing, and both of them were forced to die by that power.

"What a strong shock!" Kevin was a little shocked, this kind of sword gave him a completely different feeling.

The look in Karl's eyes kept flickering, the sword was far more complete than he had imagined, even if it was still a little flawed, but it was harmless.

After a few more attempts, Carl was completely satisfied with the sword.

"Alan, how long will it take you to build this sword?"

Alan knew what Carl had in mind, and he wanted to arm his army, so he thought for a while and said, "If it is the same level as this sword, it will take me about ten days to build one, and if the requirements are lower, it may take seven or eight days." ”

"Is it going to take so long......" Carl muttered, ten days? God, an army of more than 100 people will have to wait for years.

"It's mainly my lack of manpower......"

Carl suddenly realized, then again, since he came here, there have been few people in Allen's place from beginning to end, plus Allen himself has two blacksmiths there, and the other is still a guy with a very low level who is now a helper for Allen.

"That's Alan, you look for apprentices in my territory, you can find as many people as you need, let them help you, I will solve the funds, in short, you must build enough weapons as soon as possible." Karl said in a deep voice.

"Yes, my lord." Alan knew that Carl was very anxious about this, so he directly agreed.

"The weapon is ...... You still need enough armor......" Looking at Allen's distant back, Carl muttered, armor is much more important than weapons, which can be seen from the ancient Chinese prohibition of knives but tight armor.

But he knew that it was difficult, the cost of armor was much higher than that of a sword, and it was not something he could afford at all.

"Go back and get me Berg." Karl seemed to think of something and commanded.

It didn't take long for Berg to arrive in a hurry.

"Berg, how are you doing with the Chamber of Commerce over there in Havel Town?" Not long after Karl arrived, he asked Berg to contact the Chamber of Commerce in the town of Javier, hoping to open up the commercial trade of his domain.

If we continue to close our own territory and only develop agricultural self-sufficiency, as before, we will never be able to develop.

"Lord Karl, I've spoken with the Chamber of Commerce there, and they're willing to let the caravan come to us for trade."

"yes, that's great." Karl nodded, the caravans that came and went always brought great benefits, and countless merchants formed a huge net under the organization of the Chamber of Commerce.

"But Lord Karl, there's one thing we have to consider." Berg's voice was worried.

"What?"

"Commodities, Lord Karl, what are we going to trade with? There are no special products in our territory, and even if we want to sell them, we will sell some agricultural products at most, but we also need those things, and even if there are leftovers, we can't sell much. Berg sighed.

"Ha, maybe not before today, but after today we will have a specialty." Carl smiled.

"You mean?"

"Sword, as you may not know, Alan has succeeded in crafting a new sword that is much better than most of the swords used today, and I'm sure other nobles and merchants who can't afford to make a profit will be interested in it." Carl said categorically.

"Sword? Lord Karl, but our production is extremely low, don't you still want to arm our army? Kevin on the side asked suspiciously.

"We don't need to give too much at once, we can give a small amount first, and let those merchants take our swords to go through their trade routes, it will take a long time, enough for us to arm our army." Carl explained.

"I see." Kevin nodded.

"Since the adults have already prepared, then I will go to the people of those chambers of commerce to discuss the specific matters." Berg said no more, what he sold had nothing to do with him.
