Chapter 105 Hammer Family
From Bernard's words, Gervais finally heard some information. He is now basically certain that Bernard is a descendant of that family. Otherwise, you, a stinky blacksmith, would dare to talk about inheritance in front of a noble lord.
The job of a guard is not as good as that of a blacksmith. The noble master will beat you in minutes until you don't even recognize your parents.
After confirming Bernard's identity, Gervais would not let go. After thinking about it for a while, Gervais issued a blank check that he thought was very tempting.
"I will not treat them badly when they work under me. If anyone does an outstanding job, I am ready to teach him the method of fighting qi cultivation, and Alec's current performance is very satisfactory to me."
"Thank you Lord for your kindness, Lord, you are so courageous!"
Bernard heard that Gervais was actually willing to use the fighting spirit training method to reward his subordinates, and he really admired Gervais. After all, fighting spirit is the cornerstone of the nobility in this world to maintain their rule. The nobles can reward their heroes with gold and silver coins, but fighting spirit
There are very few cultivation techniques.
However, although Bernard's words were beautiful, he still didn't want Alec to become a guard, so he took a sip from the wine glass and then continued to say respectfully to Gervais: "Lord, your courage and quality are second to none among the nobles.
This is what I have seen in my life. Lord, please forgive me for my offense and allow me to tell you a story."
"Before the kingdom was divided, the king personally ennobled the surname of a blacksmith, which was the surname Hammer. This was unprecedented and unique for the entire kingdom."
"The man who was given the surname Iron Hammer by the king was also canonized as a viscount, and his territory was less than a hundred miles outside the royal capital.
Bernard began to tell the story he told. Listening to Bernard's story, Gervais was not angry, but a little excited. Bernard's story completely showed that there was really an excellent blacksmith hidden in his territory.
, and there is still a blacksmith with a heritage, so Gervais drank wine and listened quietly. He also wanted to know more about the Iron Hammer family. After all, there were only a few records about this family in the books, and they seemed to have been deliberately deleted.
generally.
"The blacksmith who was awarded the title of Viscount is called Habu. The method of mixing mithril and ordinary iron is what he dedicated to the kingdom. The king of the kingdom got this secret recipe, combined with sharp soldiers and sharp armor, within a few years, the entire
The mainland was included in the territory of the kingdom. It was precisely because of this meritorious service that Habu directly became Viscount Habu Iron Hammer as a civilian. Later, he obtained the fighting spirit cultivation method from the king and became a
A high-ranking silver knight."
"In the year 205 of the Gregorian calendar, the king died suddenly and the kingdom was divided. The strange thing is that at this time, Viscount Habu also disappeared quietly."
"Although Viscount Habu disappeared and the kingdom was divided, Habu's descendants and those who master the production of mithril equipment are still popular. They are favored by every noble. Their status has not been affected by Habu's disappearance.
And the fall will go to a higher level, because their mithril technology will no longer be controlled by the king."
"Just when the lives of people after Habu were getting better and better, an archbishop of the church found these descendants of Habu and invited them to the Holy City to help make mithril equipment for the Paladins. In the eyes of those descendants,
Come, this is a glorious thing, because no one has ever heard of anyone being able to go to the Holy City of the Church. Habu’s descendants all happily agreed to the Church’s invitation and went to the Holy City, but they didn’t know that
Once they leave, they have no hope of returning."
"At that time, almost all of Habu's descendants went out. Only one person delayed his departure for three days because his wife was about to give birth. However, that person overheard the conversation of two church personnel who were waiting for him. The church will
After Habu's descendants took them to the holy city, they would not let these people return home again.
"Habu's descendants who learned about this incident prepared to run away, but the matter was revealed. They were hunted down by the church on the way. The descendant's wife was killed on the way to escape. Only this descendant brought his child who was only a few days old.
He escaped, and in the following years, he continued to use secret means to make the method of mithril forging public."
Bernard kept telling the story for a long time. When telling this story, the expression on his face was still calm, as if this was really someone else's story. After finishing speaking, Bernard raised his wine glass and poured out the remaining wine.
Drink the wine in one gulp.
However, Bernard was calm and calm, but Gervais was no longer calm. Although Bernard did not specify who the descendants were, at this time, all fools knew that the descendants with Habu were Bernard and Alec.
, the two are just about the same age, and a blacksmith as versatile as Bernard actually lives in this remote and poor territory of his.
What made his hair stand on end was that, according to what Bernard said, the church was not as kind as it seemed on the surface. Coupled with Na Shen's words last night, Gervais felt that the church was like a large black hole, mysterious and mysterious.
Danger.
"So, Lord, I ask you to have mercy on me and terminate your allegiance to Alec. I know this is rude, but I am willing to build those mithril equipment for you for free! It will be used as compensation for my offense to you."
After Bernard finished telling his story, he raised his head slightly and asked Gervais again.
"Since Bernard, you have said so, and I am not an unreasonable lord, you can ask Alec to come to the castle to find me tomorrow. I will terminate his allegiance contract in public, and you don't have to stay in my territory.
Worried about security issues, there is no church or priest in my territory!"
Gervais was slightly moved when he heard that Bernard waived the processing fee for mithril equipment. After all, these are 10 gold coins, which can redeem a Lord prisoner of war from the enemy country. And since Bernard is the real leader of the Hammer family,
For future generations, Gervais is also willing to sell some favors to him. After all, forcing a person to serve is not as good as making him come willingly.
Gervais no longer has to worry about Bernard leaving the Storm Territory. After all, the church is powerful and has church pastors everywhere in the principality. Except for his own remote territory, it only exists due to various reasons such as sparse population and orc invasion.
The reason why the church has not developed to this point yet.
"But it's okay to forge equipment for free. I don't need the money. You just need to guarantee the best quality."
Now that the favor has been extended, Gervais simply stayed the course and added that he felt that a descendant of the Hammer was worth the price, and that he and Bernard were not a one-time deal, and there was a lot of equipment behind them.
Waiting for Bernard to forge it.
"Thank you Lord for the gift!"
Hearing the last words of Gervais, Bernard's face was a little complicated. He originally thought that Gervais agreed to terminate Alec's oath of allegiance because he was worried about the church and for the sake of the gold coins. Unexpectedly, he guessed everything.
Wrong! Gervais did not agree to his request because of the church and the gold coins.
"The lord is so generous, and I, Bernard, can't repay it. Here is a secret book that I took with me when I escaped from the family. Please accept it, lord!"
As he spoke, Bernard took out a thin book from his arms, and respectfully handed the yellowed book to Gervais with both hands. The cover of the book was already yellowed, and it looked still...
