Mercenaries and Adventurers

The front of the Artisan District Management Office became a sea of ​​joy. Although many people did not know what earth-shattering event the artisan had done, since the God of Artisan directly stated that the artisan had made great contributions, everyone cheered. Let's celebrate together.

The pastor of the Church of the God of Craftsman gave instructions, and all the clergy of the entire church mobilized happily. According to the original celebration plan, they found out the craftsmen and apprentices who were going to participate in the forging competition from the sea of ​​joyful people. After struggling to free up three places in the artisan area for the preparations for the competition, as for the front of the management office, it is really difficult to manage there, so the people can only celebrate.

Forges, iron blocks, red-hot coals, human blowers, iron felts, and various forging tools were all moved from the workshop to the three competition venues.

The young church clergy stood on the heights of the artisan area, loudly promoting the forging competition to the public, and encouraged the public who wanted to watch it to follow them to the place to watch.

At the same time, Zhao Ji had no interest in celebrating with everyone in front of the management office, he wanted to see the forging competition more. He carefully found a place to climb down from the roof. He didn't jump down because there was really no place underneath, and there were people everywhere. There are people who were here to visit the celebration, and there are people who heard the news from other places in Kendall City.

After Zhao Ji came down to the ground, he squeezed the hat on his head tightly with his hands, and at the same time carefully put the badge on his chest into his clothes. Squeeze the crowd towards the three competition venues.

The competition venue is divided into three places, and different forging competitions are held in each place. They are the forging competitions of agricultural tools hoes and daily necessities iron scissors, and three competitions of weapons machetes.

Zhao Ji is not interested in agricultural tools and daily necessities. It may be interesting for some people living here to see how the iron scissors they use every day are made. For farmers and women who work in agriculture, seeing a piece of iron being heated from an iron block to a hoe is something very close to their work. But Zhao Ji has no interest in that. After all, in the world he came to, basically agricultural production relies on a large number of agricultural machinery for large-scale production. The role of people in it is only to control the use of machines. Mechanized, there are very few places where people are actually used for manual work.

What he was really interested in was seeing how a weapon was forged, so while moving among the crowd, he asked the people around him where the weapon-making machete competition was held.

People are still very enthusiastic. Basically, as long as Zhao Ji asks, he will provide him with directions. It's just that there are people all around, and the artisan area is even more complicated. Zhao Ji detoured a few times on the path of the artisan area full of people before finding the place for the weapon forging competition.

The competition venue was chosen at the back door of the masonry workshop. There used to be a lot of stone materials stored here, so after the stone materials here were moved to the workshop, the space here is still quite large, compared with other places. if.

In the middle of the open space, many things needed for forging have been placed. A wooden table is also arranged near the back door of the masonry workshop, with a large table and three chairs placed on it. The surrounding area of ​​the competition is surrounded by wooden fences to prevent the onlookers from directly interfering with the competition.

At this time, the competition has not yet started, and the contestants participating in the competition are greeting each other inside the wooden fence. Outside the fence, there are circles of spectators. An old shepherd of the Church of the God of Craftsman, he is sitting on the chair prepared for him and waiting for the competition to start. The other two chairs are empty at this time, and the other two judges are not seen. Another person is a young trainee pastor of the church. He is standing on the wooden platform, introducing the upcoming contestants with a voice blessed with divine magic.

Every contestant whose name was introduced by him either waved shyly at the public, or shouted his name enthusiastically to let the public remember him.

Zhao Ji saw that there were no more vacant seats closer to the competition field and they were all crowded with people, so he had to repeat the same trick and climbed onto the roof of a workshop opposite the competition field. After climbing up with a lot of hands and feet, Zhao Ji saw many young people who had the same idea as him. Everyone smiled friendlyly and prepared to watch the next game.

----------------

"I just introduced the contestants to everyone. Now, I'm here to introduce the process of the competition to the guys who just came here." The young trainee Mushou standing on the wooden platform said in a voice blessed with divine magic, While talking, he was dancing and gesticulating.

"This year's celebration forging competition is the same as in previous years. The competition is divided into three venues, and each venue has a different forging competition. Guys who like farm tool forging please go to the back door of the grocery store in the artisan district in the south. We have prepared an open field there. Well, the topic of this year's competition is hoe. The contestants need to forge the best hoe under the enthusiastic crowd. At the same time, the contestants have to add a strong wooden handle to the hoe, and they will not add a wooden handle to the hoe My blacksmith is not a good carpenter.

Haha, guys who like farm tool forging, please visit as soon as possible. At the back door of the South Grocery Store, guys who don’t know the location can go to the city gate square first, and go directly from the grocery store to the game field at the back door. "

"Guys who like daily necessities, you can go east along the outer city wall to the daily necessities competition venue we prepared in the open space at the back door of the management office. The competition there will start last, and those who want to go now can wait a little longer to go there. Now it is full of celebrating people celebrating our Kendall City hero craftsmen, and we are still preparing intensely for the game.

Of course, guys who want to occupy a good seat in the front row can go to occupy a seat now, after all, there will definitely be no seats in a while. Just like the guys on the roof in front of me, you have to climb up the roof to find a good seat.

The topic of this year's daily necessities competition is scissors. If you want to know how to forge the miraculous scissors that can cut cloth by rubbing two pieces of iron, hurry up and have a look. After all, it took me a lot of effort to figure out how to make scissors. "

"Finally, let me introduce our place. Today, the most attractive competition in the forging competition will be held here, weapon forging!" After saying this, the people in the audience burst into cheers of joy.

The trainee shepherd on the stage was even more enthusiastic: "This is the most interesting competition in the annual celebration forging competition. It is also the competition with the highest technical level. The contestants who come to participate in this competition are often the winners of other competitions." They have superb forging skills, from iron forks to door hinges, from plows to iron pots, there is no iron product that they cannot make."

"But weapons are different. Most of the other forging supplies are pure iron products, and most of them are even rough iron products that are simply molded. But the forging of weapons is different. Everyone knows that weapons often have to go through the most severe conditions. The harsh conditions of use, while maintaining the best performance. This requires our contestants to have the best skills. Under their hands, the iron must be tamed and become a donkey and horse that can bear weight. You have to become a ferocious monster."

"The topic of this year's weapon forging is - Machete!"

"Every elder who first came to Kendal County will tell us that when they first arrived in Kendal County, apart from obeying the orders of the Baron Kendal and relying on the various churches to unite, the most reliable thing is the palm of their hand. The machete is the machete. Overcoming thorns and thorns, expelling wild animals, the machete in their hands can solve all the troubles they encounter, even the bandits who come to plunder have to ask the machetes in the hands of the elders first to know who is the real Kendal. "

"The machete has a single-sided blade and a thick back. The blade is often longer than half an arm's length. At the same time, it has a handle that can be held by both hands. When it needs to slash with all its strength, it can use all the strength of the whole body. It has a simple structure and excellent power. It can not only slash Cutting down branches, thorns and bushes will also solve most of the troubles encountered."

Two people came out from the back door of the stonemason's workshop, one was Knight Crow, and the other was the president of a certain chamber of commerce. After the two came, they walked up to the wooden platform and sat on both sides of the old shepherd. After exchanging a few words of greeting, they officially entered the state.

"So this afternoon, at this very moment, we are now going to start the competition. Ah, our judges are all here. There are too many people today, and our judges are finally here. Now, let me give Let me introduce the three judges for the weapon competition in our forging competition this year."

The young shepherd made a gesture of applauding, and everyone applauded.

Amid the applause, the trainee shepherd introduced the three judges from left to right in turn: "First of all, Knight Crowe is on the left side of the wooden platform. Everyone must know Knight Crowe. He is an old judge of our celebration competition in recent years. At the same time, he is the best and most powerful knight in Kendall City.

Through his unremitting efforts thirty years ago, our weapon forging competition It has finally become a celebration that can be held every year. Let us also thank him for his dedication this year.
