Of course, Narant would not treat him unfairly, and then ordered: "John, you can discuss all the materials needed to forge these weapons and equipment. In addition, regarding your wages, I will also ask Thomas to pay you at the price of the Chief Blacksmith of Tulip City!"

"Sir, John is willing to forge weapons for you. He doesn't have to pay too much, he just needs to pay according to an ordinary blacksmith!"

"Since you say that, you will pay with the wages of an excellent blacksmith. However, I will build a blacksmith shop and a house to live in Maiye Village in a while!"

Narant did not force it. Considering that even if John Blacksmith took the money, it would be useless, it would be better to provide material rewards at the moment.

After explaining the weapons and equipment, Narant returned to the castle directly with three thin thorn swords.

...

In the next few days, everything in the territory was as usual and developed according to Narant's plan.

The Barbarian Guards began to learn to stand and walk in a row under the rotational teaching of Quaker and Vivian.

Although the barbarians were worse than the guards at the time, they could not tell the difference.

But with Narant's original teaching experience, their progress is also visible day by day.

Narant doesn't have to worry about the guards for the time being.

The second furnace of brick kiln on the territory was also fired. The bricks obtained this time all reached a qualified strength of use, just like last time.

In this case, Narant simply made a decision, which was to suspend the construction of stone houses in the square and let the stonemasons build the large brick kiln first.

Narant made this decision because he found that using stone to build a house was too expensive and too slow.

Moreover, with blue bricks now, he can use blue bricks to build a town, which is not only cheaper, but also faster.

Recently, caravans on the territory have come more and more frequently, because the construction project has not been completed, it is impossible to attract these caravans to stay overnight.

Of course, the construction speed of stone houses is slow, which is not only because of the difficulty of the craftsmanship, but also because there are too few craftsmen.

After learning Mario's report, Narant immediately issued a notice, asking each of the stonemasons and carpenters to select three teenagers as apprentices.

This notice is mandatory.

However, Narant will also provide compensation.

That is, the quota of the three apprentices is fully collected, and each craftsman's wages can be increased by ten copper coins per day based on the original basis.

If these apprentices can officially start their studies, there will be a one-time silver coin reward.

After such rewards, the craftsmen were willing to accept it and chose young men who were satisfied with them as apprentices.

In the process, Narant asked Catherine to go back and ask if John could also recruit one or two blacksmith apprentices.

When John found out, he did not refuse, but he made a request, that is, he only wanted to recruit barbarian apprentices.

Narant felt that John was already full of resistance to the existence of an apprentice because of Catherine's first reported.

However, for his sake, he did not refuse.

The reason why the barbarians became apprentices is that although the barbarians look fierce and savage on the surface, they are actually simple and honest in their hearts and do not have that much scheming, so he put forward this condition.

Of course, Narant agreed to this, and what he wanted was a blacksmith, and it didn't matter whether it was an ordinary serf or a barbarian.

Moreover, the barbarians have another advantage, that is, they are powerful, which can also be said to be a existence specially created for the blacksmith's craft.

In addition to the development of Maiye Village, the sea rushing movement in Lucky Village has also been in full swing recently.

Thanks to the fact that marine resources have not been overdeveloped, crabs and grilled oysters are continuously produced and delivered to the castle.

However, this makes the castle unable to digest it.

But crabs can't be made into dried crabs, and it doesn't matter if it's made into dried oysters.

So Narant asked Chef Rose to bring two apprentices, who also chose from girls from Lucky Village.

I chose to learn cooking skills from her. Once a caravan in Maiye Village came, I asked the two girls to go to Maiye Village in person to be responsible for baking oysters for sale.

Such a move was welcomed by those caravans, and of course, the villagers of Maiye Village also welcomed it because the grilled oysters were so delicious.

Although the price of a roasted oyster also requires two copper plates, whether it is the caravan that came to Storm to lead the storm or the temporarily escaped from the poor, they are very happy to spend a little money to taste this unprecedented delicacy.

...

"Sir! A messenger came from outside the castle. They said they were sent by Lord Andrew!"

That morning, Narant was practicing fighting spirit, and Thomas came to the back garden to report.

"The messenger sent by my father? Let him go to the hall to wait for me!" Nalante immediately stopped practicing.

Under the service of the personal maid Lilia, he washed up a little before entering the inner castle.

However, when I walked into the inner castle, there was a strong smell of sulfur coming.

Of course, Narant had known about the sulphur smell for a long time, because the renovation of the castle has been started now.

According to Thomas, before repairing, every corner of the castle was completely cleaned up, including storage rooms, basements, etc.

And sulfur is the best way to eliminate some insects and ants in the dark corners of this world.

Speaking of which, before the deworming, there was a small episode.

That is, the day before yesterday, when Nalant knew that there was sulfur in this world, he was quite excited and asked Thomas if there was saltpeter.

As a time traveler, things like gunpowder are clichés.

But the answer I got from Thomas was that Thomas didn't even know what saltpeter was.

This made Narant's joy turn into disappointment. Fortunately, this world is an extraordinary fantasy world, so even if there is gunpowder, it is actually just a icing on the cake for him, the time traveler. Narant forgets the gunpowder matter.

He covered his nose and walked all the way to the hall. At this time, a messenger was already waiting in the hall.

"Crow has met Master Narant!"

"It turned out to be Captain Crow. I didn't expect my father to send you!" When Narant saw the person clearly, he found that this was also an acquaintance, one of his father's captains of the guards.

Narant once practiced swordsmanship with the captain of the guards.

"Master Narant, you...you have changed so much!" As someone who is quite familiar with Narant, Crow also discovered Narant's changes at the first time.

In the past, Narant was famously cowardly among the three siblings, and he was timid and slowly walking.

But now he walks calmly and has extraordinary demeanor, and his confident and gentle smile is completely different from before.

"Captain Crow, people can grow, and a difficult environment can speed up the tempering of a person's character! So, I'm growing up now!" Narant nodded with a smile and gave a reasonable answer.

"Captain Crow, let's sit down and talk!"

"Master Narant is right. I believe that you will be very happy after seeing you with your own eyes!" Crow nodded seriously and sat on the stool on the side at the invitation of Narant.

Then he continued: "Master Nalante, this is the letter that the lord asked me to bring you this time!"

Crow took out a letter from his arms directly.

Narant took the letter and confirmed that the flame paint seal was intact, then tear it open and checked it out.
Chapter completed!
