Chapter Ninety-Three: Musket Drawings

"Lord Lord, this is Mithril, I naturally know it, I don't know what equipment you want to make."

Bernard knew that his reaction had fallen into the eyes of Gervais, so he simply admitted that he knew, and that he would forge it.

"Bernard, you're really surprising me, I'll talk about Mithril later, how about you come and see this drawing of mine, I want to build this thing, and I need you to help me put it together."

Gervais is now somewhat sure that Bernard's Hammer surname was not taken by him, and it is likely that he is really a descendant of that family, but Gervais doesn't care about his origins, it doesn't matter if Bernard wants to hide it, as long as Bernard is skilled enough, Gervais doesn't mind anything else.

"Please let me see it first, Lord Lord!"

Bernard did not object, so he returned the Mithril in his hand to Gervais, took Gervais's drawings, and examined them carefully.

Gervais's drawings are fairly neat, and the dimensions are also roughly marked, thanks to Gervais's penchant for weapons on Earth, so he will go to some forums to water them to remember the approximate size ratio.

"My lord, the only thing that is difficult to forge on your drawing is this hollow long pipe, and it also requires the middle long pipe to be straight, which may take a lot of time."

Bernard was undoubtedly a good blacksmith, and although he didn't know what Gervais was going to do with the thing on the drawings, it was clear where the difficulty of forging it was.

"Yes, Bernard, I also know that the hardest thing is this hollow round pipe, there is no problem in terms of time, I can wait, if this thing can be successfully forged, I will make at least ten more!"

Gervais heard Bernard say that it would take a lot of time, instead of saying no, his heart became excited, he knew very little about forging, and he was very worried that Bernard would directly say that he could not forge, so his nitrate ore could only be used to make ice, or to make cannonballs. ”

"Then can I try, the assembly process is to follow the steps above the adult's drawing?"

After listening to Gervais's words, Bernard nodded and expressed his willingness to give it a try, after all, begging for a life in Gervais's Storm Territory, the lord has any requirements, try to do it, and Gervais is not as arrogant as other lords, so he doesn't have to worry about the final success or failure.

"Yes, if there is anything you don't understand about the assembly, you can let me know when the time comes, and we will assemble it together."

In fact, the assembly of the arquebus is very simple, the only difficulty is just in the barrel, as long as the barrel is made and meets the requirements, Gervais can get the world's first musket.

"Then let's talk about Mithril again, the materials on the forging drawings, I hope they can also be mixed with Mithril."

"Mixed with Mithril? Lord Lord, with all due respect, Mithril is so precious that it is best to make it into weapons or armor, and although I don't know what the use of this drawing is, it certainly can't hurt anyone. ”

Bernard was stunned when he heard that Gervais wanted to use Mithril to forge the things on the drawing, and after carefully looking at the drawings a few times, and after making sure that the things on the drawings were not any weapons, he persuaded Gervais with some hesitation.

A round pipe more than one meter long is wrapped with wood on the outside, a burning stick alive, Bernard doesn't know if Gervais has money and no place to spend, he actually wants to use Mithril to forge, as an excellent blacksmith, Bernard can't bear to let such a precious thing be wasted, so he persuaded Gervais, otherwise he wouldn't have so much mouth.

"Don't worry about this, Mr. Bernard, I know the preciousness of Mithril, so I won't waste it, and I added this thing to the Mithril forging drawing because it has to be this way to meet my requirements."

There are no muskets in this world, and of course Bernard doesn't know that this thing is a weapon of war, but Gervais is not ready to explain, Bernard doesn't know the best, after all, he is not his own serf, and the secret should be revealed to him less.

"Bernard, I wonder how you're going to forge this barrel, straight out or if you have some other tools?"

On Earth, if you make a hollow seamless pipe, any lathe processing shop can make it, but in this technologically backward world, Gervais doesn't know how Bernard forges.

"My lord, of course, knock it out with a hammer."

Bernard listened to Gervais's questioning, but he was a little puzzled and didn't know what Gervais meant by the tool.

"Sure enough, don't expect any surprises in this world where technology is backward and everything is developed by hand."

"In that case, let's talk about a big deal."

"I want to forge 2 full-body armor, 2 knight's spears, 13 swords, 15 chain mail, 15 leather armor, and 15 helmets, all with Mithril."

Gervais said what he wanted to forge in one breath, this time he really made a lot of money, today he has to recruit a total of thirty guards, he wants to choose ten as his personal guards, and he wants to build these ten personal guards into the elite of the elite, as for the extra five pieces of equipment, except for his own one, they are reserved for Gandalf and Ike.

"Are you sure, my lord?"

Rao is a well-informed Bernard, and he has never seen a minor nobleman have such courage to build so many weapons and armor made of Mithril at once.

"Of course you're sure, are these Mithril enough?"

Gervais replied to Bernard in the affirmative, there are good things that have to be used to be valuable, and he doesn't want to sell them, so it is better to use them to strengthen the strength of himself and his subordinates first, and the ten pro-guards are equipped with weapons and armor made of Mithril, which can greatly improve their combat effectiveness and better protect Gervais's safety.

The only disadvantage is that there are no title knights, if the direct guards are all title knights, Gervais is excited to think about that picture, and he can definitely go sideways.

Thinking about it, it will take a long time to achieve it, after all, the title knight is not a cabbage, even if there is a cultivation space to assist, it will take two or three years for those with weaker talents, not to mention that Gervais's current cultivation space is only enough for his own use.

"That's enough, then as you wish, my lord, but because of the cumbersome process of Mithril equipment, there are a lot of auxiliary materials to add, each sword needs 10 silver coins, 20 silver coins for chain mail, 5 silver coins for leather armor, 5 silver coins for helmet, and 1 gold coin for full body armor! 1 gold coin for a spear. And the round pipe on your drawing, which also costs 10 silver coins. ”

Determined that Gervais was not joking, Bernard immediately quoted the price needed to forge the equipment, waiting for Gervais's confirmation.

Bernard finished quoting, although Gervais already had a budget in his heart, and he also knew that the weapons and equipment for building Mithril were expensive, the corners of his mouth still twitched, so that his equipment would cost a total of 10.65 gold coins.

Why do you have to bleed every time you want to get some good equipment, this is the case with enhanced weapons, and the same is true for Mithril weapons, think about it, if these gold coins are used to forge ordinary weapons and armor, at least hundreds or thousands of soldiers can be equipped, but now they can only build weapons and equipment for more than ten people.

It's no wonder that even some of the great nobles are reluctant to form a Mithril Armament Legion in formation, the cost of this forging alone can make people drip blood, not to mention that one gram of Mithril requires 10 gold coins, who can afford it.

Although all of his cash is not that much now, the Mithril weapons and equipment will not be forged until next month, so Gervais has plenty of time to raise funds.

His seafood and ice cube business is about to kick off, and Gervais believes that the gold coins will roll in, which will greatly ease the financial constraints.

"You are an aspiring nobleman, lord, please rest assured in terms of quality, the weapons and armor that come out of my hammer are the best!"

In the past, Gervais looked at Bernard a few times, but now Bernard looked at Gervais, after all, Gervais is only a small baron, and the population in the territory is only more than 2,000 people, but Gervais did not blink his eyes, and determined the forging plan worth hundreds of gold coins.
