The next day, as soon as the sky showed a milky white light, Pavel got up.
He randomly stuffed a few flour cakes into his mouth, then lit the fire of the forge, threw two pieces of coal in, and pulled out the knight's sword that he had reforged and beaten yesterday.
But he didn't throw it into the rising flames like usual.
He raised the sword, faced the dim light of the sky, squinted his eyes, and looked at it carefully for a while, sighed slightly, turned his head again, looked at the room where Link was still sleeping, and sighed again, this
Then he casually pulled a strip of cloth, tied the sword to his back, and walked out of the blacksmith shop door.
Stepping on the mud that seemed to have never disappeared from the ground of Fort Colo, and breathing in the fresh morning air, Bawell turned a corner at the end of the stone road and headed straight towards the location of the "Lord" of Fort Colo.
Went to the mansion.
A border town like Castle Colo originally had no lords, and no noble would be willing to be granted a title in a place with a dangerous jungle full of monsters on one side and another powerful neighbor on the other. After all, even though this
The continent has been at peace for who knows how many years, but those noble men still will not allow their precious lives to be threatened by even the slightest danger.
However, Castle Kolo is located in a strategic location. Even if the top military officials are a bunch of pigheads, they know that it is a place that cannot be ignored. Therefore, the Third Border Guard Corps of the Kansa Province of the Bavarian Empire is here.
There is a border defense brigade of 5,000 people stationed in the small town all year round, and an elite knight team of 200 people. A knight commander at the level of deputy commander leads these two troops and is also responsible for managing the entire town.
The financial and civil affairs of Fort Colo. In the eyes of the people of Fort Colo, a knight is a great officer who has stepped into the nobility, let alone a knight commander at the level of deputy commander, so they also call him half jokingly and half in awe.
Call this knight commander the "Lord" of Castle Colo.
After all, compared to those provincial officials who made a fuss every time they passed by, this castle owner was still very cute to the residents of Coloburg, because apart from collecting fixed taxes, he had almost no income.
Just one step beyond his mansion, the prosperous commercial activities between Castle Colo and neighboring countries are inseparable from the loose management of the castle owner.
Therefore, the residents of Colo Castle and the merchants who come and go still love the castle owner who can ensure their safety but whose presence is often invisible.
Of course, among the private legends of the people of Coloburg, some people say that the reason why the castle owner rarely steps out of his mansion is because he is too lazy to even get out of his bed.
, so when such legends spread, in the mouths of the residents of Fort Colo and the merchants who came and went, the appearance of this relatively kind-hearted castle owner was always described as something close to a fat head and big ears.
Creatures that only know how to eat and sleep.
Victoria, have you really grown like that?
Bavel thought so and couldn't help but smile a little maliciously.
He turned a corner and saw the command post of the garrison, also known as the gate of the castle lord's mansion. The two sentries standing on both sides were still napping leaning on their spears. Pavel had already walked closer.
But they haven't noticed it at all. It seems that even if Bawell walks directly into the door, no one will pay attention to him.
Indeed, since it is still so early and since the castle owner never comes to the gate, the sentries standing guard here do not need to be too diligent.
Bavel frowned and coughed heavily.
After a long while, the sentry on the left reluctantly opened his sleepy eyes. Then he was obviously startled by Baweier standing in front of him. He yelled and pushed, and also pushed the sentry standing on the right.
Gotta wake up.
The two men picked up their spears almost subconsciously. It took them a while to wake up from their half-asleep state, and then they saw clearly who was standing in front of them. Both of them let out a sigh of relief, put down their spears, and complained.
: "Uncle Pavel, why are you so early today? You still scared us silently, and you will have to buy us a drink after work later to compensate."
Bavel's blacksmith shop is the most skilled blacksmith shop on the ground of Fort Colo. When the weapons and armor of the garrison at Fort Colo are damaged during training, Pavel's blacksmith shop is responsible for repairing them. Therefore,
These soldiers were also old acquaintances with Bawell. Although they were shocked by Bawell now, they were just joking.
"Okay." Pavel looked at the young faces of the two sentinels and smiled: "As long as you are not afraid of being overheard and seen by your captain, who will punish you to chop wood, I will treat you to drinking until you can't walk.
"
The sentry smiled and stuck out his tongue, and said to Pavel: "Uncle Pavel, has the captain notified you again to pick up the worn sword and armor? Why is it so early today?"
Bavel shook his head: "I'm not here to see your captain today, I'm here to see the castle master."
The two sentries immediately opened their mouths. After confirming that their ears heard correctly, they looked at each other. The sentry on the left suddenly laughed again: "Uncle Bawell, why did you take us again so early in the morning?"
Just kidding, pay the tax and go to Mr. Schlop. If you want to go to the captain, he is practicing in the training ground on the right. Don't make things like this difficult for us."
"Yes, yes." The little sentry on the right nodded fiercely: "The fort master never meets a stranger, let alone you. Even our captain rarely gets advice from the fort master a few times a year."
"I'm not kidding." Bavel shook his head and said to the two sentries in a very serious tone: "I want to see the Lord of the Castle."
He slowly reached out and pulled out the sword from behind.
Although they knew that Uncle Pavel who was standing in front of them had no ill intentions towards them, the chill that came from the knight's sword in Pavel's hand made the two sentries standing in front of him involuntarily.
He took a step back and shuddered.
Bavel smiled, holding the sword in both hands, and said: "When I was repairing the batch of knight swords you gave me last time yesterday, I discovered that there was a hidden sword in it, so I came to present it to the Lord of the Castle.
All you have to do is bring the sword to him and tell him that the person who presented the sword misses him."
"Sword?" The two sentries looked at the knight's sword in Bavel's hand and swallowed.
No one doesn't know what a sword means to a knight, and no knight doesn't even dream about getting a peerless sword.
No matter how lazy and lazy their current "castle master" is said to be, he is after all a knight and the deputy commander of a knight corps.
If what Baweier was holding was really a sword, then perhaps it would be a great achievement for him to offer the sword when he was on duty.
They were really tired of being on guard duty. Even if they could be promoted to work in the inner courtyard, it would be better than getting up early and standing here late at night.
But is there really anything magical about this sword?
The two little sentries had their own plans in mind and looked at Pavel with wide eyes.
Bavel seemed to know what they were thinking. He deliberately loosened his hand, and with a soft "clang" sound, most of the knight's sword sank into the bluestone slab underneath, as if it had been poked into a piece of tofu.
It was ordinary, and the exposed blade of the sword actually gave off a faint green light.
"Ah!" The two little sentries were startled and looked at each other. The sentry on the left quickly jumped up, pulled out the sword, and shouted to Pavel and his companions: "I'm going to report to the fort."
host."
"Wait a minute." The sentry on the right didn't catch him. He could only watch the guy rush in like a whirlwind. He hesitated for a moment, but still didn't dare to rush in too. He could only mutter in a low voice: "That's a really good move."
quick!"
Baweier was also amused and laughed. He stood at the door and chatted with him. After a while, the sentry on the left had already run out like flying, with a face full of tears.
With a smile on his face and no idea what benefits he got, he shouted to Pavel from afar: "Uncle Pavel, Uncle Pavel, the Lord of the castle is so happy that he wants you to come in."
Following the sentry, through the long corridor and inner courtyard, Bawell finally stood in front of the castle owner in a large room.
Among the two rows of soldiers holding their spears tightly, the castle master who was wrapped in a nightgown, not as fat as the legend, but probably not much different, seemed to have sunk into a chair, with his eyes half-squinted.
He looked like he was sleeping, but when Pavel walked in, there seemed to be some strange light in his eyes.
"Go down! Go down! You all go down!" He raised his chin with some difficulty and drove the soldiers on both sides: "I want to have a good talk with the sword presenter and let him explain the use of this sword!"
The soldiers were obviously well-trained. After bowing and saluting in unison, they retreated with their spears in tow. The two soldiers who came to the end did not forget to close the door of the room.
Almost at the same time as the two doors closed, the castle owner suddenly jumped up from his large special chair at a speed that was completely disproportionate to his body, and stood in front of Bavel, raising his head and straightening.
chest, left hand pressed to the right shoulder, and shouted in a deliberately low but passionate voice: "Knight Victoria of the Secret War Knights salutes the captain!"
Although he is still wrapped in a nightgown, his face is already full of fat, and his belly is so big that he can hardly see his feet, but standing up and saluting like this can make people forget about his figure and feel like he is standing
In front of me is a tall and tall knight!
Yes, a standard knight!
Pavel accepted Victoria's salute calmly and raised his hand in return with a military salute.
Although the person standing in front of him was a deputy commander-level officer, and since the disbandment of the Secret War Knights, he had chosen to be a blacksmith in this small town, but they both knew in their hearts that as someone who had experienced that year
Those comrades and brothers who have been through life and death, there are many things that need not be said to each other.
Only then did Victoria relax, hugged Pavel hard, and laughed loudly: "After so many years, I thought that even though we were in the same town, you would never come to me again, boss.
Today I saw someone asking to see me with this knight's sword made with the Thousand-fold Calcining Technique, and I thought something had happened to the boss, so I was shocked."
Pavel shook his head sadly, ignored Victoria's greetings, but straightened his face and said seriously: "There are two things!"
"Yes!" Victoria stood up straight again.
"First, the Provincial Border Guard Corps is recruiting knight apprentices. I want you to help my son Link enter the ranks of knight apprentices!"
"Uh!" Vidoya looked at Pavel a little confused.
Although he also understands that when recruiting knight apprentices, you basically have to rely on insider trading to be recruited, but this matter is a bit too simple for him, the deputy commander of the Third Border Guard Corps.
.
However, the boss who had vowed never to pick up a knight's sword again made such a trip in person just to personally send his son to become a knight?!
Oh my God, there's something wrong with my ears!
Bavel ignored Vidoya's expression and continued: "Second, I hope that if there is a chance, you can send Link to a real battlefield. Only through the baptism of blood and fire can he become a real man.
!”
"Lose weight." After Baweier finished speaking, he turned around and left, completely ignoring Victoria who was still stunned. When he was about to walk out of the door, he turned back and said: "You are like this, sooner or later you will accidentally
The horse was crushed to death!"
"No," it took a while for Vidoya to come back to his senses, but Bavel had already disappeared without a trace. Vidoya smiled bitterly and shook his head at the door: "The boss is the boss.
It’s still cool to this day.”
"But there's no need to just think about sending your son to the battlefield." Vidoya shook his head. It wasn't that he didn't understand Bavel's thoughts, but he just really didn't want to see his boss being punished again.
What harm, besides, Victoria muttered: "The enemies of the empire have been wiped out long ago, otherwise why would our Secret Combat Knights be disbanded? Those nobles hope that the current knight corps is a ceremonial decoration and good-looking
That’s good, the more effective it is in combat, the more likely it is to end up disbanding like it did back then. How can we fight any war? The boss is still living in the past.”
"However," Victoria rubbed her fat chin, eyes flashing with thought: "We still have to get the eldest child to join the knights. Hehe, these days, there is no need to take risks.
Being a knight is better than being a blacksmith all your life! Well, that’s it!”
