Surdak discovered that there was actually a blacksmith shop in this camp, but the facilities in the blacksmith shop were really rudimentary.
In addition to the stove and wooden box bellows built of refractory stone, there was only an iron ingot nearby. The iron ingot was struck countless times with a hammer, and its outer outline was piled up like a short and thick king oyster mushroom.
A Mediterranean blacksmith wearing leather pants sat on a chair to rest. The fire was also suppressed by the earth and did not fully burn.
Some broken knives and swords were hung in the sheltered pavilion of the blacksmith shop. Occasionally, a gust of wind would blow over, and suddenly there would be a series of jingling sounds in the shed.
Surdak came closer and saw a red-faced old blacksmith lying on a wicker chair and snoring loudly. Due to being exposed to charcoal fire for many years, his skin was red with precipitation, and even the few beards and hair were curly.
With.
Suldak coughed slightly.
The old blacksmith suddenly woke up from his sleep, stood up immediately, picked up the wooden bowl at hand and walked towards the pavilion, saying as he walked:
"Have you had dinner...Have you had dinner? Well, what can you do? If the weapon is damaged, just hang it in the pavilion over there. It will take about two weeks to repair it..."
The old blacksmith rubbed his cheek vigorously, and then looked at Suldak seriously, looking at him suspiciously.
The blacksmith picked up the water glass on the small square table, took a sip of water, and picked up the hammer at hand. His eyes fell on Suldak's waist and saw that the sword on his waist was a broad sword with a delicate top.
The pattern made the old blacksmith frown frequently, and finally said: "If what you are planning to repair is this kind of magic weapon, I can't do it here!"
"I don't need to repair the weapons, can I just take a look here?"
Suldak walked up to the old blacksmith and asked...
"certainly!"
Seeing that Surdak did not need to repair the weapon, the old blacksmith sat back on the wicker chair.
Surdak walked into the pavilion full of weapons and found that there were ordinary weapons hanging in the pavilion. Some of them looked like they had obvious joint marks, and the workmanship was extremely rough.
What a stack-forged steel knife, it is actually riveted and fixed with two layers of iron sheets, even if the weapon is connected...
Surdak was very speechless... It would be better not to connect it. The broken blade is much easier to use than the steel-clad clip blade connection method.
"There is no way, the blade is too short and it will be a disadvantage on the battlefield," the old blacksmith seemed to be able to understand Surdak's inner thoughts, and came up from behind and explained to Surdak.
"There should be a furnace here." Although Surdak is not a blacksmith, he owns a copper mine and knows a little bit about this.
The old blacksmith made a short sound from his nose: "Humph! Let alone the furnace, even a hard enough chopping board can make me feel more comfortable..."
Before he could continue to say anything, his voice was interrupted by Edgar. Edgar walked over and said with a smile: "Old Jon, I really plan to carry one back for you this time, but that Taka
The chopping block in the blacksmith shop in Lai Town cannot be carried by a horse, and the carriage cannot reach us..."
The old blacksmith didn't listen to Edgar's explanation at all and shouted directly:
"Go, go, stop giving me so many excuses. Where is the stove? Even if there is no stove, there is a wind box with a wind magic circle. Well, well, well, you haven't got any of these. Just bring me a few bags of coke.
Okay! My furnace is not hot enough for this kind of Damascus steel, so it won’t melt at all..."
"Ha, I really brought this back to you."
Edgar said very proudly.
Then he asked a few soldiers to bring in the sacks outside and untied one sack, revealing some dark gray coking coal inside.
The old blacksmith was overjoyed and ignored Edgar. He immediately turned on the fire and piled a handful of coke on it...
Then he called in the little apprentice who was playing alone outside, and the two of them pulled out the wind box and started to heat up the stove.
Edgar followed Surdak and said to him with a flattering look:
"The conditions in the camp are almost like this, but this time we captured the town of Takale and many things were quickly transported back. The situation here can be improved to some extent."
Surdak walked out of the blacksmith shop without comment.

Gu Jun/span> Everyone in the camp eats in the canteen. It is called a canteen, but it is just a shelter.
The dinner was not bad. There was fish soup that the children caught in the river during the day, and there was also jam made from boiled and mashed berries that the women had just returned. Each person also had a piece of rhizome of an unknown plant.
As thick as an adult's arm, it tastes a bit waxy and astringent. Each person takes a piece and tops it with some berry sauce. It's sour and not too unpalatable.
There are three such awnings in total. You can see that the rebel fighters are basically sitting in the same area. Some officers and women are sitting in one area, and there are also a group of women and children sitting in the same area.
The rebel soldiers were the largest group in the camp. The shelter was very large, with rows of log tables and chairs inside.
There are fewer officers with women, so the pavilion to protect the rain is relatively small. Everyone eats the same food. The officers do not have extra meat. Suldak feels that the only advantage of these officers in the canteen is that
That is, they don't need to wash the dishes themselves after eating.
The rest of the women, the elderly and the children were huddled in a pavilion to eat. According to the information collected by Samira, many of the children in the camp were orphans picked up from the battlefield by the rebels after a certain war.
Having lost their families, these children would probably become wanderers if they did not starve to death if they still stayed in the town.
These children have experienced war and their parents are not around, so they are extremely sensible.
Seeing that the children were living well in the camp, Suldak's impression of Edgar suddenly became much better.
In fact, Edgar held a special dinner to entertain the magician Avid and his followers. However, Suldak said that such a reception dinner would be enough with the magician Avid alone. He would rather
Try the big pot meal in the camp.
…
After dinner, a group of children didn't want to go back to the cabin to sleep early, so everyone would sit in the forest clearing.
The energetic rebel soldiers said some provocative words to each other, and those who were dissatisfied had to stand up and compete in wrestling. There were basically no rules in this kind of fighting. The only thing was that they were not allowed to use weapons or wear armor. If they surrendered, they had to stop.
The children's eyes are shining with hope. They always like to worship the strong and cheer for the strong during fights.
The rebel soldiers had lingering hatred in their eyes. They just wanted to vent their anger, and they didn't even care about winning or losing, but they were very measured in their actions.
Although life here is a bit primitive, it's generally pretty good.
With the river, Siya's life is very comfortable. She spends more time in the river every day than staying on the shore. However, except for a few people in Surdak who know that she is from the Janna Sea Tribe, her
The identity has always been a secret to these rebels.
Samira's hunting ability not only impressed the children holding harpoons by the river, but also shocked some hunting teams in the camp. She went out for hunting with the hunting team and met her on the way.
The birds are a kind of green-feathered titmouse. Because of their small bodies, many people call them cow-eyes.
Samira chased these cow eyes over two hills in succession, and the little tits she shot down actually gave the ogre a full meal.
The skin of the small tits is peeled off, then the internal organs are removed, only a handful of salt is marinated, and then fried in animal fat until crispy...
The magician Avid continued to live his happy life in this camp. The only trouble was that his injuries seemed to heal more slowly, and he secretly asked Surdak to give him blessings.
body', which is said to allow him to win a war.
Surdak stayed in the camp for three days, and then prepared to go with the magician Aved to inspect the rebel army's rear area.
The night before he left, while everyone was having dinner, he walked into the awning where the children were eating, and pulled out two large wooden boxes wrapped in straw ropes from his magic belt bag.
The fat taste is very strong.
"Although I don't know if I will join you in the future, I would like to give you a small gift before I say goodbye..."
Under the eager eyes of a group of children, Suldak cut the straw ropes and pried open the lid of the wooden box. Inside, there lay a number of peeling knives wrapped in oil paper.
Suldak distributed these knives to each child and said: "Whether you need to skin or cut meat in the wild, it is a good choice. The only taboo is that you cannot always put them on the fire to roast.
Otherwise they will quickly become less sharp..."
The magician Avid really couldn't figure out why Suldak put these things in his magic waist bag, and there were whole boxes of inventory...
In addition, what surprised Aved was that Surdak's magic pocket was bottomless. He didn't know how many things he took out along the way. Although he knew that Surdak had several magic pockets, as a space person,
Avid, who is a magician, still thinks this is incredible.
In fact, Surdak also prepared a few boxes of sentinel swords. This thing was not worth much in the blacksmith shop in Bena City. He was worried that Aved would see the clues, so he didn't take it out in the end...
