"Lord, I'm very sorry for delaying what you told me, but the furnace in the blacksmith shop is really too crude and old, so I can't increase the speed of forging!" Blacksmith John complained to Nalant,
Also explained the reason.
After hearing this, Nalant walked over and saw that the stove in the backyard was very old and peeling off in many places, and a bellows on the side was full of holes. This should be because there was not much work in the Storm Territory, so it was abandoned.
, the aging is so serious.
More importantly, this stove was too primitive. It was just like an ordinary firepit, just a single-tube chimney. Narant was a little unbelievable.
"John, do other blacksmiths' furnaces look similar to yours?"
Although Narant has never forged iron, he knows that the most important thing for forging iron is the temperature of the furnace.
But with the simple stove in front of me, it would probably take a lot of effort to heat the iron red.
"It's all like this!" John nodded, not understanding why Nalant had such questions.
"Let's do this! John, you continue to forge iron materials, and I will ask someone to help build a stove next to it. I will provide the materials and manpower."
As the saying goes, if a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. This stove was so shabby and backward that Narant couldn't stand it anymore.
"This...thank you, Lord!" Blacksmith John was a little stunned. After reflecting, he saluted Nalant gratefully.
"You don't need to thank me. In the future, there will be more and more things in the territory that require the use of the blacksmith shop, so the quality of the blacksmith shop is also related to the development of the territory!"
Nalant waved his hand, "By the way, John, do you have any idea of recruiting apprentices? If so, I can help you recruit them in the territory! This way you can relax."
"Sir, although it will be tiring to be alone, I have no plans to accept apprentices for the time being, so I will be enough on my own! I promise not to slow down the matters that the adults have assigned me!"
"Okay!" Nalant nodded without forcing anything.
Although he vaguely felt that John was hiding something, he still had a long way to go, so he had to solve the immediate task first, and then send people to pay attention slowly.
Afterwards, Nalant directly ordered the guards to call for someone, while he asked for paper and pen from Vivian, and began to draw according to the appearance of the stove in his previous life.
In his previous life, Nalant was also very interested in cold weapons and swords. In his previous life, merchants who sold swords would upload videos of ancient iron forging, and the stove was one of the protagonists in the video.
To follow the example of a gourd, in fact, if you understand some simple physics knowledge, you will know how to maintain the maximum temperature of the stove.
It didn't take long for Narant to finish the simple drawings, and then he looked around the small courtyard from east to west.
There is actually a reason why John chose this place as a blacksmith shop, because there happens to be a three to four meter wide creek behind this small courtyard.
With the creek, it is convenient for him to fetch water for quenching. The blacksmith shop is actually a big user of water.
Looking at the creek, another idea suddenly came to Nalant's mind.
"Since we are going to do it, why not make a complete set?"
Narant's idea was to build a small waterwheel here, so that the bellows would not have to be pushed and pulled manually, but could be driven by the waterwheel to achieve automation.
The structure of the waterwheel is not difficult to consider, but several linkage components need to be designed.
In fact, Narante had already had this idea a few days ago, which was a large waterwheel prepared for the mill.
Now the people of the territory cannot go to Gwent Territory. As a territory, a mill is a must.
Nalant did what he thought of and gave some instructions, asking the guards to return to the castle to get the drawings he had sketched two days ago.
Making this small waterwheel now can be regarded as accumulating experience for the big waterwheel of the mill.
Not long after, the guards brought the drawings and manpower as ordered.
Nalant gave instructions on the matter, explained the key points clearly to the carpenter and stonemason, and then left with Vivian and others.
…
"Sir, Charizard's mother said thank you for taking care of it and the children these days. It feels that its injury will be healed in a short time!" In the stable, although the mother Charizard can barely move, she even sometimes
I can stand up a little, but I still can't move around.
After Nalant personally fed it whale meat, Shirley conveyed her gratitude to the Charizard.
"Well, let it recover well, and I'll take the little Charizards out for a spin!"
"Okay, sir!" Shirley immediately communicated with the female Charizard.
After saying that, Nalant walked out of the stable with five little fire-breathing lizards.
Although the little lizards are still a little afraid of Nalant, they no longer have the trembling feeling in the past. They just obey him and let him control them.
"Let's go, little guys!"
"It's a pity that if I want you to release the fireball, I still have to wait a few months!"
Narant asked the mother Charizard when these little Charizards would be able to fight.
The female Charizard's answer was that it would take a few more months. Generally, it takes Charizards about half a year old to start trying to cast spells, and the little ones are only over four months old now.
"Sir, where are we going to play today?"
Shirley said goodbye to the female Charizard and immediately caught up with Nalant.
These days, Nalant and his little fire-breathing lizard are no longer confined to the horse farm, but are often taken to nearby woods or fields to play.
This is to familiarize the little Charizard with the smell of humans and avoid becoming hostile when they see humans when they grow up.
This is like a native dog kept in a cage and a native dog free-range in the previous life. There are two completely different things when facing strangers.
Nalant didn't want to think that one day, the little fire-breathing lizard would sneak out and cause trouble in the territory.
"I heard from Kenbi Cowdung that a large area of the beach has become vacant these days. Let's go there for a walk today!"
Ever since the barbarians killed thousands of murlocs and sea monsters last time, no murlocs and sea monsters dared to approach the nearby beach anymore.
Although this fear may only be temporary, Nalant happened to have some free time today and was ready to go around.
As the weather gets hotter, Narant prefers to stay closer to the sea in a world without electric fans and air conditioners.
After placing the five little fire-breathing lizards on the carriage, the group headed straight towards the seaside.
…
"I've seen the lord!" When Nalant led a group of people to the beach, the villagers were hard at work boiling salt for fishing, while Kenbi Cowdung was patrolling.
Seeing Nalant's appearance, Kenbi Cowdung's originally deliberately stern face immediately turned into a flattering smile, wrinkled like a chrysanthemum.
"Well, I heard you say two days ago that a large area of the beach was vacant, so I came to take a stroll!" Nalant nodded, already used to Kenbi Cowdung's flattering chrysanthemum face.
At this time, he had cast his eyes on the beach, and sure enough he saw that there was at least a 700- to 800-meter beach where no fish-man or sea monster dared to approach.
"Sir, the little one will take you down. According to your instructions these days, the little one has not dared to let any villagers approach the beach!" Kenbi Cowdung immediately walked at the forefront diligently.
The sea in this world has not been polluted in any way. When you step on the beach, your eyes are filled with white and soft sea sand, and the sea water not far away is as clear as a mirror.
"Wow! It's so beautiful!" Shirley, the girl, jumped up and started running on the beach.
Thanks to the boss of "No such person" for the reward!!!
