Choke ~ choke ~

Before Gervais could speak, the two guards behind him drew their long swords from their scabbards without hesitation, with a look of defensiveness.

Since the collapse of Benny's trio, these guards have been like taking a medicine to strengthen their courage, and they have completely lost their previous cowardly appearance, and Gervais feels a little incredible, and specifically asks Thomas.

After Thomas's explanation, I realized that these guards were also carefully selected from this territory back then, and they were crushed to death by Benny before using his identity as a captain and using their families as a threat.

After knowing that he had a new lord, he was even more worried that the things he had lived in the inner castle would be found out and sent to the gallows, so he was like a soft egg one by one.

Since Gervais pardoned them and became their masters, they have a backbone, and these people have reverted to their original guards.

"Lord Lord, don't you hurry up and salute." After one of the guards drew his long sword, he shouted at the middle-aged man, both of them were eager to try, as long as Gervais gave an order, he was ready to step forward to make the middle-aged man look good, and he dared to speak to the lord in such a tone.

"You go out first, it's none of your business here." Suddenly, Gervais stopped his two men.

"But...... Your safety ......, my lord. The guards hesitated, but Gervais's tone at the moment was different from when he was in the blacksmith shop, and there was a strong command in his tone, not when he was in the blacksmith shop, just a simple inquiry.

"It's okay, you go outside and wait for me." Gervais didn't let the guard continue, and his tone became more stern.

"Yes, sir." The two guards didn't dare to say more, so they agreed to Gervais, and then glared at the middle-aged man before retreating outside the door, but the two of them still stood outside the door and kept an eye on the movements inside.

"Introduce yourself, the new lord of this place, Baron Gervais. I don't know what you call it? After the two men retreated, Gervais carefully looked at the middle-aged man in front of him for a while before asking quietly.

Because of Gervais's actions to retreat from the guards, the middle-aged man's face softened, and when he heard Gervais's words, he bowed down slightly and replied to Gervais: "It turns out that it is the lord, and there is no title in the body, so the lord does not need to be called Your Excellency, just call me Brian." ”

"Oh?"

Gervais was a little surprised that this middle-aged man did not have a knighthood, but Gervais felt that the middle-aged man might be lying.

"I'm just here to inspect the territory, Lord Brian doesn't need to hide anything, no matter what you have done before, as long as it is not a hurtful thing, I will not care about any idle things."

Seeing that Gervais didn't believe it, Brian was a little helpless, but he really didn't lie, so he said to Gervais: "Lord Lord, please sit down and talk." ”

Gervais was not polite, and sat on the kitchen stool by himself, sitting opposite Brian, although there was no fluctuation on the surface, but in his heart he was secretly on guard, and he never exposed his back to Brian.

"Your Excellency, there is nothing to hide here, there is indeed no title in my body now, I just hope that there is a place to retire, and I ask the lord to raise your noble hand." After sitting down, Brian looked at Gervais and said in a sincere tone.

"Your Excellency Brian, it's not that I don't raise my noble hand, but Your Excellency obviously has the cultivation of a bronze horseman, but you stay in my remote territory, how can you make me feel at ease." Gervais was unmoved, Bernard and his son had something to say, they were just ordinary people and couldn't set off the storm, but the middle-aged man in front of him was a bronze horseman, and he had to make Gervais care.

When he first met Brian, Gervais was also shocked, he didn't expect that there would be a dragon and a crouching tiger in his poor and remote territory, and Bernard with the surname Iron Hammer would not talk about it, after all, he didn't know the truth of the surname.

But the middle-aged man in front of him has the cultivation of a bronze horseman, and Gervais can feel that the cultivation of this person in front of him should be stronger than himself, and the aura emanating from his body is much stronger than his own.

Just let the two guards retreat, but also worried that in case of a conflict, the two guards will definitely suffer, if they are alone, they can resist it, and it is convenient to escape.

"My lord, I'm an alchemist."

Brian sighed and said helplessly.

"Oh? An alchemist? Then I wonder why Lord Brian came to my territory? No one here can afford to hire you, right? ”

Gervais's eyes lit up, but Brian himself revealed this identity, but Gervais believed eight points, because if Brian wanted to lie, it was better to directly make up another identity, make up the identity of an alchemist, and he would only need to make a request to distinguish the truth from the fake later.

The memory of the original owner also has the memory of the profession of alchemist, and the alchemist of this world has only one job, and that is to strengthen weapons.

Alchemists can engrave inscriptions on weapons and armor, and apply a special paint to the inscriptions, which can produce an enhanced effect, both weapons and armor can be strengthened by alchemists' means.

Different inscriptions can have different effects, for example, some inscriptions can cause the weapon to burst into a burning effect, and the enemy who is slashed will not only suffer the physical damage of the weapon itself, but also the secondary damage caused by the inscription.

Some inscriptions can reduce the weight of armor, making the already heavy armor lighter, reducing the weight of the wearer and allowing for better fighting. In short, different inscriptions have different enhancement effects.

However, the materials used to prepare special paints are very precious, and the inscriptions are not simple carved patterns, the textures are not only very complex, but also need to be blessed with fighting spirit all the time during the engraving process, if there is any mistake in the middle, the enhancement will fail, and the weapon will be scrapped, which causes the strengthening of a weapon to require a lot of price.

"It's hard to put into words, since the lord is so interested, then I'll tell you about it next......

It turned out that this middle-aged man was called Brian Mebben, who used to live in the royal capital, was an intermediate alchemist, and used to have a lord title, but it was only the kind of honor, and there was no territory.

The principle of strengthening is to apply a special paint that can quickly absorb and store aura in the groove of the engraved inscription, and the paint that stores the aura and the inscription work together to strengthen the weapon or armor.

The area of the inscription pattern carved by the alchemist is generally very large, because if the inscription area is too small, the paint applied to it will also be reduced, and the paint is used to provide energy, and if the energy is insufficient, of course, it will not have the effect of strengthening, because of such a limitation, basically a weapon can only be strengthened once.

And Brian had a whim, why not make a paint that stores better? This will reduce the size of the inscription and allow for more enhancements on a single weapon.

So, Brian, who was obsessed with alchemy, did what he said, and he invested all the savings he had accumulated into it.
