Of course, the reason for using the Fire Phoenix for design is not only to allow this land of doom to be reborn from the ashes under his leadership, but also to allow the Daughters of Doom to be reborn from the ashes under his leadership.
However, Nalant did not point it out to the three women, which seemed too deliberate.
"Oh... a divine bird that rivals the gods, and is even more powerful than a giant dragon. Sir, let's use it as the badge of the Storm Territory. It's very impressive to say this!" Shirley was knocked and touched by Nalant.
He shrank his head, but now he understood the meaning of the fire phoenix, and immediately proposed the fire phoenix as a badge.
"Is this your opinion? What about Vivian and Catherine?" Nalant looked at the other two women again.
"Sir, I think this fire phoenix is more beautiful than the swordwood leaves, and I agree with Shirley's suggestion!" Vivian nodded immediately after hearing this.
"Sir, the fire phoenix you designed is more beautiful and sharper than the eagle. It is more suitable for showing your authority!" Catherine agreed without hesitation.
They are not flattering Nalant just because Fire Phoenix was designed by Nalant.
Whether it is the eagle or the sword Konoha, each has its own strengths and weaknesses. The one that is delicate enough is not powerful enough, and the one that is powerful enough is not refined enough.
But the fire phoenix is different. It is exquisite, sharp and mighty.
Moreover, this is a kind of magical bird that they have never heard of before. It seems that there are very few nobles who use the fire phoenix as their family emblem, which further highlights its uniqueness!
"Okay, let's make it this way!" Nalant could see that the women's expressions were genuine, and he immediately made his decision.
After the badge was made, it was time to name the castle.
Originally, Narant wanted to have another big discussion like a badge. In the end, seeing that it was already midnight, Narant directly chose the name of the castle, "Fortune of Fortune".
This is easy to understand. Others say that Storm Territory is a place of doom because the Daughter of Doom often appears here.
But now the Daughter of Misfortune has become the Daughter of Luck, and they have all gathered in his castle, so Luck is the most appropriate name for the castle.
In addition, the name of Unlucky Village was also changed to Lucky Village.
After the operation, the night got deeper, and Nalant directly asked the girls to go back to sleep.
Before leaving, he gave them several drawings proposed by the three women.
"Oh! Thank you, sir, you are such a generous man!" Little girl Shirley held the drawings and smiled from ear to ear.
Vivian and Catherine also carefully put away the lord's calligraphy treasure.
…
Early the next morning, Nalant informed Thomas of the coat of arms drawn up last night and the names of the castle and the village of Doom.
Thomas was immediately shocked when he saw the drawing of the Fire Phoenix.
"My lord, you are truly a learned nobleman. I feel that your knowledge is no worse than that of any baron or viscount!"
"Okay Thomas, let's arrange it. You can go to Blacksmith John to make the badge. As for the flag and the guards' smocks, remember to ask the tailors to be careful. The labor price can be increased appropriately, but the quality must be good!"
Nalant waved his hand. He thought Thomas's comparison was a bit strange.
He may not be able to compete with other nobles in terms of combat power, but his cultural quality is definitely not comparable to these 'old haters'. After all, he has received nine years of compulsory education...
After explaining the matter about the badge, Nalant had breakfast and headed to Maiye Village without stopping.
"Sir!" In an open space outside Maiye Village, a kiln more than two meters high stands here. It is Nalant's experimental brick kiln.
"Open the brick kiln, take out the bricks and take a look!"
Nalant nodded and directly signaled the two serfs responsible for guarding the brick kiln to open the kiln.
Upon hearing this, the serfs immediately started to move and took an iron bar and began to pry the stone at the front of the kiln.
The temperature during the kiln firing process is very high, so soil and stones can only be used to seal it.
Following the nimble movements of the two serfs, a hole dozens of centimeters in size soon appeared in front of them.
The two serfs quickly wrapped their hands in linen cloth and began to take out bricks from it.
Mario stood aside and watched with great curiosity. He had heard of firing pottery before, but it was said that firing pottery requires adding a layer of secret glaze on top, so that the fired pottery can be used and hard.
But by directly burning the soil, he didn't know what he would get and what its use would be.
"Sir!" Soon, the first brick was taken out of the brick kiln, and the serf immediately wrapped it in linen and handed it to Nalant.
"Hey! Not bad!" Narant was slightly surprised when he saw the brick in his hand.
Originally, he was wondering whether this first brick-making would fail, but as he squeezed the bricks, he found that the hardness was no different from the bricks in his previous life.
What's more important is that the green bricks are more delicate and smooth than the red bricks. Who said he used better materials?
"Yes, take out the other bricks inside too!"
"Sir, what's the use of burning these bricks?" Seeing Nalant smile, Mario finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the burned clay looked ordinary to him, the fact that the lord was satisfied with it meant that he had done his job well and made no mistakes.
"Well, this can be used to build various buildings! Whether it's a house or a wall!"
"Build a house and a wall?" Mario was stunned. Not to mention whether the mud blocks could really be piled so high, the house would collapse even if it rained!
Nalant saw his doubts and handed the green brick directly to Mario.
Mario touched it and his eyes widened in the next moment, "Sir, it has become so hard!"
"Yes, the soil will harden after it is burned! And you are no longer afraid of rain!" Nalant nodded.
"But sir, we don't seem to have added a secret glaze on top, right? Why does the clay harden after being burned?"
"Mario, adding that layer of glaze is just to make the pottery waterproof and harder, but in fact, even if it is clay, it will harden after being put in and fired!" Narant did not expect that Mario would have such a skill.
asked, explaining casually.
As for the more detailed and profound principles, he himself couldn't figure it out.
Later, with the efforts of the serfs, all the dozens of green bricks in the kiln were taken out.
In order to test the strength of all the bricks, Narant did not leave any of the green bricks behind, but violently destroyed them all with a hammer.
The result of the violent test is that the hardness of these bricks is almost the same as the red bricks of the previous life, and they can be used as building materials.
"Haha, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it to happen in one go!" Nalant felt happy.
"Mario, the next process of making clay blocks has begun. Use the plan with the least cracking to make it! As for the manpower, you can recruit it yourself from the territory."
"And you can continue to fire the kiln here two more times according to this process to ensure that the results are the same as this time!"
"If there is still no problem with the bricks, then the construction of a large-scale brick kiln will start! Expand the construction according to the appearance of this kiln!"
