After closing the door to the laboratory, Gervais hurried to the Inner Castle and called Anna to ride a horse to Marina Town.

As soon as he entered the sweltering blacksmith's room, Gervais couldn't wait to ask Bernard, who was striking iron alone.

"Bernard, is my tin can ready?"

"Your lord, you're here, you've finished making it, and the thing on your drawings has been assembled, and I'm going to send it to the castle for you in the evening." Hearing the sound and seeing Gervais, Bernard immediately stopped what he was doing, saluted Gervais, and then walked to the side of the cabinet where the finished products were placed, and took out a musket more than a meter long, as well as several tin cans the size of cans on the earth.

"My lord, take a look at these things to see if there are any problems, I made them according to your instructions, if there is anything that needs to be improved, you can talk to me now, and I can help you change it."

Sometimes Gervais admires Bernard very much, he has the strength of the Silver Knight, and he is so respectful when he sees himself, in fact, when Gervais saw Bernard during this time, he didn't have to be like this when there was no one else.

But I don't know if Bernard is used to such a disguise, or if there are other considerations, and he doesn't do what Gervais wants, even when no one is around, he treats Gervais as an ordinary blacksmith, although he is calm on the surface, but his attitude must be respectful.

Seeing a few things in Bernard's hand, Gervais was overjoyed, and hurriedly approached and took the musket in Bernard's hand.

What made Gervais most interested in this arquebus, Gervais thought that it would take tomorrow for Bernard to assemble the arquebus, but he didn't expect Bernard to be so fast.

Taking the arquebus from Bernard's hand, Gervais walked to the window and looked into the sunlight to examine each part of the arquebus.

The first thing to look at is the barrel, the only difficulty of the musket is the barrel, the barrel should be straight, and the inner diameter should be uniform, otherwise it is likely to cause the barrel to be blocked, or even explode, Gervais lifted the whole musket, and aimed at the crosshair on the musket with his eyes, and found that the barrel was straight and even, and there was no fault with it.

So, Gervais put down the musket again, looked inside with the muzzle of the gun, and then took out a round projectile from his pocket, which was the lead pellet that Gervais had prepared a few days ago, and Gervais directly put the lead pellet into the muzzle of the musket, only to see that the lead pellet that was basically about the same size as the muzzle of the gun slid directly down the barrel, and there was no jamming.

"Good!" Seeing this, Gervais was finally relieved that the barrel was up to the mark, not to mention the other parts, which were just the simplest arquebuses, and there were no other more sophisticated parts.

Gervais carefully examined the whole musket and found no problems, and then said to Bernard: "Bernard, this thing is called a musket, I checked it, there should be no problems, but I have to take it back to experiment to be sure, your craftsmanship is really eye-opening to me." ”

"Hehe, Lord Lord, laughed, this thing has some difficulty except for the barrel, it takes more time, and the other parts are very simple, compared to this thing, the whole body armor is the real difficulty."

For Gervais's praise, Bernard did not accept it, which is really not difficult for him.

"I see, no matter what, you are the best blacksmith I have ever met, and the legacy of the Hammer family is indeed worthy of its name! But Bernard, now that Alec is my personal guard, you can really try to recruit apprentices in my territory, after all, this craft is really amazing. ”

Bernard's craftsmanship is not to say, when the first ordinary weapons and equipment were delivered, Gervais already knew, although Gervais did not have much research on weapons, but Ikrauli and the other three knew what kind of effect an excellent long sword had, and after a little experiment, they came to the conclusion that the quality was superior.

Now the musket is also completed under Bernard's hammer, for Bernard's wrought iron craft Gervais is already greedy, although he does not learn himself, but he can let his serfs learn it, Bernard is only one person after all, even if the craft is good, the time is limited, if Gervais needs a lot of weapons and equipment in the future, it will inevitably be affected by the output.

As long as Bernard is willing to recruit apprentices, when those apprentices learn, they can increase their production no matter what equipment they build.

Hearing Gervais's words, Bernard smiled helplessly, then looked at Gervais and said: "Since the lord said so, I have nothing to object, as the only remaining descendant of the Iron Hammer family, I can't let the inheritance of the Iron Hammer family be ruined in my hands, Alec now has his own choice, and it would be great if the lord is willing to help me find a successor." ”

Fortunately, this world does not have such a strict concept of inheritance as on Earth, and Bernard has no other choice, so he reluctantly agrees to Gervais's suggestion.

"Haha, Bernard, believe me, the legacy of the Hammer family will carry forward in your hands!"

Seeing that Bernard finally agreed, Gervais was happy, only Bernard in his territory could strike iron, and his craftsmanship was exquisite, it was difficult for Gervais to train a few of his own blacksmiths, but Professor Bernard Ken, then this problem was solved.

Through this period of contact, Gervais also knows Bernard's character very well, he is a man of his word, since he has agreed to recruit apprentices, he will definitely teach seriously.

"When I go back, I will tell my housekeeper to ask him to arrange some boys of the right age to come to you, you choose slowly, if you are satisfied, you will stay, and if you are not satisfied, you will change to the next batch of selection."

"Thank you, Lord!"

Bernard smiled, yes.

"My lord, Mithril and iron ore have been fused, and I can forge Mithril's weapons immediately, I found that there will be about two catties of Mithril iron material left after sorting, I don't know if these iron materials will be kept first, or if you have something else to forge."

Hearing this, Gervais thought about it, two catties of iron is not much, it is not too little, but it is not enough to forge a long sword, as for the small pieces of weapons and equipment, Gervais needs to think about it, it has been melted into Mithril iron, it must be used, and he can't keep it, and besides, he is not short of Mithril at present, he is only short of money and the strength to protect himself.

Suddenly, Gervais had an idea, he remembered that there are two good self-defense weapons on the earth, especially when they are close to the body, they are both killing weapons, that is, short muskets and triangular thorns, although the short musket shoots not far away, but it is powerful and easy to carry, as long as you get a holster, you can carry it with you, absolutely home travel, a sharp weapon for killing people and goods.

As for the triangular thorn, this is something that Gervais has long conceived, which can be used as a separate short blade, and can be mounted on a musket as a bayonet, which is absolutely practical, but Gervais originally did not plan to use Mithril iron to make a triangular thorn, but this time there is just a surplus, so it is not a waste to make one for himself, as for other soldiers, I will consider it later, after all, it is better to use a bayonet to fight with a white edge, it is not as pleasant to use a long sword made of Mithril.
