"Then forge it at this price. As long as the quality is guaranteed, your wages will definitely not be short!"

After taking a deep breath, Gervais spoke to Bernard in a calm tone.

Bernard didn't know where Gervais got his mithril from, but as a blacksmith, he knew the purchase price of mithril, so he was amazed that Gervais could be so calm and determined to forge these weapons and equipment.

.

"Thank you for your compliment, Bernard. There are 10 grams of mithril here. You can mix them into iron and forge them! Other equipment can be forged later, but the things on the drawings I gave you, I hope you can

Help me finish it as soon as possible."

10 grams of mithril was prepared by Gervais according to the amount needed to make weapons and equipment. When forging weapons, the more mithril you add, the better. Gervais learned it when he was in aristocratic school. Each weapon requires

Adding the proportion of mithril will also save some blacksmiths with bad intentions from stealing mithril. After all, one gram is worth 10 gold coins.

"As you wish, Lord Lord, I will help you forge the object on the drawing as soon as possible.

"Very well, Bernard, I'll take my leave now. If there is any progress, you can come to the castle to see me directly."

After everything was settled, Gervais left the blacksmith shop and prepared to go to the town square to see how the recruitment of soldiers was going.

This time he spent a lot of money to build such good equipment, so naturally he also wanted to select some outstanding serfs to become his personal guards.

After leaving the blacksmith shop, Gervais told the little maid Anna the unit price of each weapon. After Anna finished recording, he rode back to the town square.

At this moment, there was still a large crowd gathered in the town square. The serfs were all focused on the selection of guards. Gervais did not want to interrupt the selection process, so after arriving at the square, he dismounted his horse and took a detour from the side.

When he went in to check, no one noticed his arrival.

After Gervais took a detour to the outside of the soldier selection area, Audry and Laurie were constantly checking the young serfs who came to apply.

These young serfs have all taken off their shirts, leaving their upper bodies bare. It is clear at a glance whether they are strong or thin.

There are about two hundred people who came to apply today. Almost all young people of school age in the entire territory have come. After all, there are only more than 2,000 people in the territory. Gervais has stipulated the age group. This number is already considered good.

Laurie and Audry used the elimination selection method. All the guards lined up in rows and columns, and then Laurie checked them one by one, and first eliminated those who were obviously low and weak in height and physique.

, about half of the people who were eliminated in the first batch. After these people were eliminated, they immediately returned to the crowd of onlookers with their heads down, while those who were not eliminated continued to stand in the field, lining up again and waiting for the next round of elimination.

They were eliminated one by one. When the fourth round progressed, there were only more than 40 young people standing in the field. Those who remained were all those who had an advantage in height or size. In this world where cold weapons are in close combat,

But there is no such thing as being short and sharp. Unless they are titled knights, the stronger and taller the better for ordinary soldiers.

"I don't accept it, why eliminate me! I am very strong!"

Gervais saw that Laurie and Audry had a good approach, and the remaining young people in the field were all pretty good. Even if he chose, he would not do better than them, so he prepared to return to the castle with Anna, the maid, but

At this time, there was a loud noise in the square. A young man must have been eliminated, but he was not convinced and shouted directly.

When the serfs onlookers saw that the young man did not obey the guards' instructions, they immediately started talking. Some were curious about whose family the young man was a child, and some were discussing how the guards would punish the young man who caused trouble.

You must know that in this territory, apart from the lord, the guards can be said to be the most majestic and powerful group. Especially these two people can recruit soldiers for the lord.

"Hurry down, you brat. You haven't even grown your hair yet and you're still here to serve as a soldier. If you make trouble again and delay the lord's affairs, be careful, I'll hang you up and whip you!"

Laurie and Audry were also people close to Gervais. They knew Gervais's temperament and did not like to bully the weak, especially the serfs in their own territory. Therefore, Laurie and Audrey did not listen to the instructions.

The young man was quite polite and didn't take any action. He just scolded him with a fierce expression.

"I'm an adult, and I'm very strong. If you don't believe me, let them fight me. If I lose, I'll leave immediately."

The young man was not willing to give in. He still wanted a chance to show off his abilities.

"I asked you, you brat, are you looking for a beating? The requirements for recruiting soldiers were announced to the entire Storm Territory yesterday. The lord stipulates that you must be 1822 years old to participate. Look how old you are. Are you 16? Hurry up.

Get out of here, or don’t blame me for being rude!”

"I'm 17 years old! I'm stronger than them, but I just don't accept it!"

"Hey, kid, you admitted it to yourself that you are only 17 years old! Get off here!"

Laurie and Audrey were almost amused by this kid, but they were doing business for the lord now. They didn't dare to let this kid mess around here anymore, so they rolled up their sleeves and prepared to drive this kid out.

"I don't accept it! I want to be a guard."

Seeing Laurie and Audry surrounding him, the boy knew that he could not resist, so his shouts became louder and louder.

"etc!"

Just when Laurie and Audry were twisting the boy and preparing to throw him out of the field, Gervais walked in and stopped their actions.

"grown ups!"

"Lord Lord!"

"Hello, Lord Lord, I didn't mean to cause trouble..."

After seeing clearly that the person who made the noise was Gervais, Laurie and the two men quickly let go of the boy in their hands and both greeted Gervais.

The serfs in the square also knew that the lord was coming, and they all knelt on the ground again.

The boy who was let go by Laurie and Audry did not kneel down. Instead, he bent down and saluted Gervais, and then tried to explain what had just happened, but was interrupted by Gervais' wave.

"You can talk about it later."

The young man seemed a little afraid of the lord, so when his words were interrupted by Gervais, he immediately shut his mouth and did not dare to say more.

"Everyone get up!"

After the young man stopped talking, Gervais waved his hand indifferently, signaling the serfs present to get up.

"Thank you Lord Lord!"

All the serfs got up one after another, ready to watch as a crowd to see what would happen to this young man. However, when they saw the lord's face, they didn't look good, so they all just watched. No one dared to do what they did just now.
