Lord Highlander

Suldak discovered that there was actually a blacksmith shop in this camp, but the facilities in the blacksmith shop were extremely crude.

In addition to the stove built with refractory stones and the wooden box bellows, there is only an iron ingot next to it, on which the hammer has been hammered countless times, and the outer outline is piled up like a short and thick Pleurotus eryngii.

A Mediterranean blacksmith in leather trousers was sitting on a chair to rest, and the fire was also pressed by the mud and did not burn completely.

Some broken knives and swords were hung in the rain-shielded pavilion of the blacksmith shop. Occasionally, a gust of wind would blow over, and there would be a series of clanging sounds in the shed.

Suldak leaned over and saw an old blacksmith with a flushed face lying on a wicker chair and snoring loudly. Due to years of being smoked by charcoal fire, his skin was reddish, and even his few beards and hairs were curly. with.

Suldak coughed lightly.

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:

"Did you have dinner... Have you had dinner? Well, what's the matter with you? If the weapon is damaged, hang it in the pavilion over there. It will take about two weeks to repair it..."

The old blacksmith rubbed his cheeks vigorously, then took a serious look at Suldak, 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 in his hand. His eyes fell on Suldak's waist, and he saw that the saber on his waist was a broad sword. The pattern made the old blacksmith frown frequently, and finally said: "If you are going to repair this kind of magic weapon, I can't do it here!"

"I don't need to repair weapons, can I take a look here?"

Suldak walked up to the old blacksmith and asked.

"certainly!"

Seeing that Suldak didn't need to repair the weapon, the old blacksmith sat back on the rattan chair.

Suldak walked into the pavilion full of weapons over there, and found that there were ordinary weapons hanging in the pavilion, some of which seemed to have obvious joint marks, and the craftsmanship was extremely rough.

A well-forged steel knife is actually riveted and fixed with two layers of iron sheets, even if it is connected to the weapon...

Suldak was very speechless... It might as well not be connected, the broken blade is much easier to use than this steel-clad 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 the thoughts in Suldak's heart, walked up from behind, and explained to Suldak.

"There should be a furnace here." Although Suldak is not a blacksmith, he owns a copper mine and knows a little about it.

The old blacksmith let out a short voice: "Huh! Don't talk about the furnace, even if there is a hard enough cutting board, it can make me feel better..."

Before he could continue to say anything, Edgar interrupted his voice, and Edgar came over and said with a smile on his face: "Old Jon, I really plan to bring you back this time, but Natakar The chopping block in the blacksmith shop in Lai Town cannot be carried by a horse at all, and the carriage cannot enter our place..."

The old blacksmith didn't listen to Edgar's explanation at all, and shouted directly:

"Go, go, stop telling me so many excuses. What about the stove, even if there is no stove, the wind box with the wind magic circle, okay, okay, you didn't get any of these, just bring me back a few bags of coke. Okay! My furnace is not hot enough for this kind of Damascus steel, so I can't melt it at all..."

"Ha, I really brought this back for you."

Edgar said something very proudly.

Then a few soldiers were asked to carry the outer sacks in, and one sack was untied, revealing some dark gray coke inside.

The old blacksmith was overjoyed, ignored Edgar, and immediately turned on the fire, and piled a handful of coke on it...

Then the little apprentice who was playing outside alone was called in, and the two pulled the bellows and began to heat up the stove.

Edgar followed Suldak and said to him flatteringly:

"The conditions in the camp are almost the same, but this time we captured the town of Takale, and a lot of things can be shipped back soon, and the situation here can be somewhat improved."

Suldak walked out of the blacksmith shop noncommittally.

...

Everyone in the camp eats in the cafeteria. It is said that the cafeteria is just a shelter built for the rain.

Dinner was not bad. There was fish soup that the children caught in the river during the day, and there was jam made from boiled and mashed berries that the women just came back from. Each of them had a root of an unknown plant.

The adult's arm is so thick, it tastes a little glutinous, a little astringent, and each person sends a piece of it, topped with some berry sauce, sour, not too unpalatable.

There are three such canopies. It can be seen that the rebel fighters are basically sitting in the same area, some officers are sitting in an area with women, and a group of women and children are sitting in an area.

The rebel fighters were the largest group in the camp, and the canopy was very large, with rows of wooden tables and chairs inside.

There are fewer officers with women, so the pavilion for shelter from the rain is also smaller. Everyone eats the same food, and the officers do not have extra meat. Suldak feels that the only advantage these officers have in the cafeteria is, That is, they don't need to clean the dishes after eating.

The rest of the women, old people, and children huddled together in a pergola to eat. According to the information Samira investigated, many of the children in the camp were orphans picked up from the battlefield by the rebel army after a certain war.

Having lost their families, if these children remained in the small town, they would probably become homeless if they did not starve to death.

These children have experienced war, and their parents are not around, so they are very sensible.

Seeing that the children were doing well in the camp, in Suldak's heart, his impression of Edgar was much better.

In fact, Edgar held a special dinner for the magician Avid and his followers, but Suldak said that this kind of reception dinner is enough for the magician Avid, and he would rather Taste the big pot of rice in the camp.

...

After dinner, a group of children don't want to go back to the wooden house to sleep early, so everyone will sit in the open space.

The energetic rebel fighters said some provocative words to each other, and those who refused to accept would stand up and compete in wrestling. There were basically no rules for this kind of fighting, the only thing was that they were not allowed to use weapons or wear armor.

There is a light of hope in the eyes of the children. They always like to worship the strong, and they will cheer for the strong when they fight.

In the eyes of the rebel soldiers, there was hatred that couldn't go away. They just wanted to vent, and they didn't even care about winning or losing, but they were very measured in their actions.

Life here is a bit primitive, but generally good.

With the river, Siya's life is very comfortable. She spends more time in the river than on the shore. Identity has always been a secret to these rebels.

Samira's ability in hunting not only impressed the children with harpoons by the river, but also shocked some hunting teams in the camp. She went hunting with the hunting team and met Flock of birds, those birds are a kind of green-feathered chickadee, many people call them bull-eyes because of their small size.

Samira chased the group of ox-eyes over two hills in a row, and the small tits shot down actually made the ogre eat a full meal.

Peel off the skin of that kind of small tit, then remove the internal organs, just sprinkle a handful of salt to marinate it, and then fry it crispy with animal fat...

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 also secretly asked Suldak to bless him. body', which is said to allow him to win a war.

After staying in the camp for three days, Suldak planned to go to the rear of the rebel army with Magician Avid to investigate.

The night before he left, when everyone was eating dinner, he walked into the awning where the children were eating, and pulled out two large wooden boxes wrapped in straw rope from the magic pocket. 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 parting..."

Under the eager eyes of a group of children, Suldak cut the straw ropes and pried off the lid of the wooden box. Inside were a pair of skinning knives wrapped in oiled paper.

Suldak distributed these small knives to each child, and said: "Whether you need to peel or cut meat in the wild, it is a good choice. The only taboo is that you can't always take them to the fire. Otherwise they get less sharp very quickly..."

The magician Avid really couldn't figure out why Suldak would put these things in his magic pocket, and it was still in full boxes...

In addition, what surprised Avid was that Suldak's magic pockets were bottomless, and he didn't know how many things he took out along the way. Although he knew that Suldak had several magic pockets, as a space Avid, a magician. Still think it's incredible.

In fact, Suldak also prepared a few boxes of sentry swords. These things were worthless in the blacksmith shop in Bena City. He was worried that Avid would find out the clues, so he didn't take them out in the end...
