Choking~choking~

Before Gervais could speak, the two guards behind him pulled out their long swords from their scabbards without hesitation, with defensive expressions on their faces.

Since the disintegration of Benny's trio, these guards seemed to have taken emboldening pills and no longer acted like cowards before. Gervais found it a bit incredible and even asked Thomas specifically.

After Thomas explained, it became clear that these guards were also carefully selected from this territory. They were suppressed by Benny because they used their status as captains and their families as threats.

After knowing that they had a new lord, they were even more worried that their stay in the inner castle would be discovered and they would be sent to the gallows, so they all acted like cowards.

Since Gervais pardoned them and became their master, so with a backbone, these people have returned to their original roles as guards.

"My lord is on patrol, why don't you salute quickly?" After one of the guards pulled out his long sword, he yelled at the middle-aged man. Both of them were eager to give it a try. As soon as Gervais gave the order, they were ready to step forward and let the middle-aged man stand.

The young man is good-looking, but he dares to speak to the lord in such a tone.

"You guys go out first, you have nothing to do here." Suddenly, Gervais stopped his two men.

"But...my lord, your safety..." The guard hesitated a little, but Gervais's tone at this moment was different from when he was in the blacksmith shop. There was a strong command in his tone, not when he was in the blacksmith shop, but just

Just asking.

"It's okay, you go and wait for me outside." Gervais did not let the guard continue, and his tone became more severe.

"Yes, sir." The two guards did not dare to say any more and agreed to Gervais. Then they glared at the middle-aged man before retreating outside the door. However, the two guards still stood outside the door and paid attention to what was going on inside.

.

"Let me introduce myself, the new lord here, Baron Gervais. What is your name?" After the two men retreated, Gervais carefully looked at the middle-aged man in front of him for a while, and then asked quietly.

Because of Gervais's behavior of repelling the guards, the middle-aged man's face softened. After hearing Gervais's words, he bowed slightly and replied to Gervais: "It turns out to be the Lord. I don't have any title. Lord."

There’s no need to address me as sir, just call me Brian.”

"oh?"

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

"I'm just here to inspect the territory. There is no need to hide anything, Mr. Brian. No matter what you have done in the past, as long as it is not something harmful to nature, I will not meddle in anything."

Seeing that Gervais did not believe it, Brian was a little helpless, but he did not lie, so he said to Gervais: "Lord, please sit down and talk."

Gervais was not polite and sat on the stool in the kitchen, opposite Brian. Although he seemed calm on the surface, he was secretly guarding in his heart and never exposed his back to Brian.

Ryan.

"Lord, I have nothing to hide. I really don't have a title now. I just hope to have a place to retire. Please be kind to me, Lord." After sitting down, Brian looked at Gervais and said in a sincere tone.

"Sir Brian, it's not that I'm not being polite, but you clearly have the cultivation of the Bronze Knight, but you stay in my remote territory, how can you make me feel at ease." Gervais was unmoved, Bernard and his son were unmoved.

Fortunately, to put it bluntly, they were just ordinary people and could not make waves, but the middle-aged man in front of them was a bronze knight, so Gervais had to take notice.

When he first met Brian, Gervais was also shocked. He could not have imagined that there would be hidden dragons and crouching tigers in his remote and remote territory. Bernard, who had the surname of Hammer, would not say it. After all, he did not know whether the surname was true or false.

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

I just asked the two guards to retreat, because I was worried that if there was a conflict, the two guards would definitely suffer. If I was alone, I could resist and escape easily.

"Lord, I am an alchemist."

Brian sighed and said rather helplessly.

"Oh? An alchemist? Then why did Mr. Brian come to my territory? There should be no one here who can afford to hire you, right?"

Gervais's eyes lit up. Brian revealed his identity, but Gervais believed it. Because if Brian wanted to lie, he might as well just make up another identity, the identity of an alchemist, and wait for a while.

Just make a request and you can tell the authenticity.

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

Alchemists can carve inscriptions on weapons and armor, and apply prepared special paint to the inscriptions to produce a strengthening effect. Both weapons and armor can be strengthened through the alchemist's methods.

Different inscriptions can produce different effects. For example, some inscriptions can cause a burning effect on the weapon. The enemy who is cut will not only suffer physical damage from the weapon itself, but the wound will also suffer secondary damage caused by the inscription.

Some inscriptions can reduce the weight of the armor, making the originally heavy armor lighter, reducing the wearer's burden and allowing him to fight better. In short, different inscriptions have different strengthening effects.

However, the materials used to prepare special paint are very precious, and the inscription is not a simple carving pattern. Not only is the texture very complex, but you also need to use fighting energy to strengthen it during the carving process. If there are any mistakes in the process, the strengthening will fail, and the weapon will also be damaged.

Scrapped, this results in the high cost of strengthening a weapon.

"It's hard to explain in words. Since the lord is so interested, I will tell you..."

It turns out that this middle-aged man is called Brian Mayburn. He used to live in the royal capital and was an intermediate alchemist. He also had a title of Lord before, but it was just an honorary one and he did not have a territory.

The principle of strengthening is to coat the carved inscription groove with special paint that can quickly absorb and store spiritual energy. The paint that stores full of spiritual energy and the inscription work together to strengthen the weapon or armor.

The area of ​​inscription patterns carved by alchemists is generally very large, because if the area of ​​​​the inscription is too small, the paint applied on it will be reduced. The paint is used to provide energy. If the energy is insufficient, of course it will not have the strengthening effect, because of this

Basically, a weapon can only be strengthened once.

Brian had a sudden thought, why not make a paint with better storage effect? ​​This can reduce the size of the inscription and add more strengthening effects to a weapon.
