Chapter 27 Heraldry and Blacksmithing
"Okay, this matter is over. I believe your mother, Mrs. Elsa, will be very happy when we go back." Baron Dias changed the subject.
The somewhat kind woman who loved their brothers appeared in Karl's mind, and she nodded. Mrs. Elsa would definitely be happy from ear to ear if she could see her family members achieving success.
"Hey, it's none of my business." Pine shrugged.
"Don't say that about Pine, you are now a real knight." Baron Dias shook his head. Not long ago, Earl of Lens completed his promise and held a knighthood ceremony for Karl and some meritorious nobles.
, which of course also includes Pine. After all, Pine is a quasi-knight, and the Earl of Lens had done it smoothly before.
"Ha, that's true." Pine nodded, he was still very happy about this.
"But Karl, you may have to go to your fief after you go back." Baron Dias said.
"Understood." Karl nodded. After all, he now has his own fiefdom, so naturally he cannot stay in Blackthorn Village like before.
"But before that, don't forget another important thing." Baron Dias reminded.
Karl tilted his head, not knowing why.
"Heraldry, my son, you must not forget this." Baron Dias pointed to the blouse on the wall with the Dias family coat of arms and said.
Karl suddenly realized that Baron Diaz had almost forgotten it if he hadn't mentioned it. At the same time, he also remembered another thing.
"Okay father, I will go find the heraldry maker you mentioned now.
"Go, my child." Baron Diaz was very satisfied as he watched Karl leave. He was very happy to see a noble creative branch with good strength in his family.
…
"Lord Karl, is this all your request?" the bearded heraldry maker confirmed.
"Yes, that's right. How long will it take to complete?" Karl asked.
"Don't worry, Lord Karl. I'm a professional. It only takes me two days to make your wooden coat of arms and flag." The bearded man patted his chest.
"Two days?" Karl was a little distrustful. In his opinion, this should be a big project. Is two days too short?
"Master Hakar, please don't question my professionalism. I will start work immediately. Two days are enough." The bearded man seemed to see Karl's disbelief.
"Okay, I'll come back in two days." Karl was a little embarrassed and nodded. After all, it was recommended by his father, so it should be fine.
"Okay Lord Carl, let's talk about the charging issue." The bearded man said again, of course this will not be free. Others rely on this for a living, so why don't you let others starve to death?
But these are commonplace rules, and it didn’t take much time. Karl confirmed it and paid the deposit.
"The apprentices have started work, we have to work overtime to make a coat of arms for the young nobles!" After watching Karl leave, the coat of arms maker walked into his room and shouted to the young people inside.
The apprentices also took action immediately. After studying under the heraldry maker for so long, their skills were still good enough to help the bearded man complete his work.
After leaving the heraldic guild, Karl set off non-stop to the blacksmith shop. Before he left, he had to meet someone.
"Hello, is Alan here?" Karl knocked on the door of the blacksmith shop and asked the middle-aged man who opened the door.
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then looked Karl up and down, sneered, and said, "Isn't this the same guy who bought a bunch of junk stuff from Allen last time? Why? This time you're here to collect debt from him?"
Karl narrowed his eyes slightly, the foul mouth of the man in front of him always made him feel irritated.
"Please tell me if Allen is here?" Karl took a breath, but after all, he didn't care about the other party.
"That boy Allen is inside now. You'll see it when you go in." The middle-aged man seemed to be bored, and waved his hand and returned to his seat.
Following the direction pointed by the other party, Karl quickly found Allen, who was covered in soot.
"Sir, why are you here?" Allen was also stunned when he saw Karl. In his understanding, after the other party completed the transaction with him, he should not have any interaction with him again.
"Alan, I'm here specifically to find you." Karl said seriously.
"Sir, the things I sell are not returnable, and you have checked that there is no problem." Allen was startled by Karl's serious expression, and said quickly. He was afraid that the other party thought that the razor nails he sold before were of no use and asked for it.
Money.
His voice was almost pleading, he was really short of money, and if Karl really wanted that money back, he would really be unable to bear it.
Karl was also confused by the other party's actions. After reacting, he couldn't laugh or cry, and said quickly: "No, no, no, don't worry, I'm not here to ask for money from you. In fact, I am very satisfied with what you made."
Allen finally felt relieved when he heard that the other party was not here to settle a score with him, so he asked cautiously: "So, sir, what do you want to do when you come here this time?"
Karl looked at him deeply, and then asked: "Alan, do you really like tinkering with things like the spur horse you bought me before?"
"Yes, sir." Allen didn't know why the other party asked, but he still answered truthfully.
"Alan, the spur horse you made, I can see that your forging skills are good, you are definitely a good blacksmith, and your idea is very good, the idea is great."
"Thank you for the compliment." Allen was a little embarrassed. After all, he was still a little shy to be praised like this in front of his face.
"But with all due respect, although you have good ideas, you simply don't have enough money to realize them. Am I right?" Carl said in a persuasive way.
Allen was a little frustrated. He knew that the other party was right. He was very poor, so poor that he sometimes went hungry. After all, no one came to him to buy the gadgets he made.
"Sir, what exactly do you want to say?" Allen was a little angry. He felt that the other party was playing tricks on him.
"Alan, don't worry, I now have a choice for you. I am a knight and the lord of Silder Manor and its affiliated villages. I now invite you to become the blacksmith of my territory. I will build a building specifically for you.
A blacksmith shop, you will become the master there, and I will provide you with enough funds, you can try your creativity as much as you like, of course, when necessary, you need to build something for me that a normal blacksmith should build,
For example, iron tools, weapons, armor, etc., but you can rest assured that the time you can allocate independently is definitely enough, are you willing?"
Karl said loudly, and his voice was heard clearly by almost everyone in the blacksmith shop, especially the middle-aged blacksmith at the door who looked here in disbelief.
Allen was also stunned by the sudden news. His brain seemed to freeze for a moment, and he couldn't recover for a long time.
Seeing the other party's stunned expression, Karl smiled secretly in his heart, but he was not in a hurry, but waited for the other party quietly.
After another long while, Karl asked again: "Alan, are you willing to join my territory?"
At this moment, Allen reacted, and his body trembled slightly with excitement. At this moment, he seemed to feel great glory. He finally saw God blessing him and giving him good luck.
"I am willing, noble Sir, of course I am, I...I..." Allen was so excited that he was even a little incoherent, his tongue seemed to be tied up, and he was not fluent.
"Hahahaha, Allen, it's great to have you join us!" Karl was also very happy. He valued Allen very much. He was a very creative young man.
"Thank you, my lord, for giving me this opportunity." Allen almost burst into tears. This young noble actually valued him so much that he even offered such generous terms.
"It won't be long before I leave Rensburg County and go to my territory. How long will it take for you to set off?" Karl asked.
"You can do it at any time, my lord." Allen replied without hesitation. Firstly, he really had nothing to deal with, and secondly, he was afraid that the noble in front of him would regret it.
"Very well Allen, you can find me at the hotel in Rensburg in two days, and we will set off." Karl nodded and said.
"Okay, I will definitely arrive on time!" Allen said immediately.
Karl patted him on the shoulder, turned and left, but when he passed the middle-aged blacksmith, he could clearly feel the middle-aged blacksmith's awe for him. It was obvious that he was frightened by Karl, a nobleman with a manor, so
People are definitely considered big shots in front of them.
At the same time, Karl could also feel the other person looking at Allen unconsciously, his eyes full of envy and annoyance.
In fact, he was really upset. In his opinion, Allen was not capable of making those things. He also forgot that if he had a better attitude before and had a good relationship with this nobleman, would this opportunity be better?
Is it your turn?
Karl shook his head in his mind, but didn't pay much attention to it and went straight back to the hotel to wait for the coat of arms to be completed.
…
"Sir, this is your wooden coat of arms and flag." The heraldry maker clapped his hands, and his apprentices hurriedly erected what they had made over the past two days and nights.
Karl squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the pattern on the wooden shield, the blue eagle, and then looked at the flying one. The eagle seemed to spread its wings and fly high. Every detail was lifelike. It was clear that this name
The superb skills of the heraldry maker.
At the same time, Carl also felt an indescribable sense of pride in his heart. It was his own family crest!
"Very good, Kevin, Allen, bring them." Karl nodded with satisfaction, paid the reward, and handed the coat of arms to the two of them.
Allen looked at the flag with excitement, because he was now sure that the other party did not lie to him. Only nobles would have their own coat of arms!
Chapter completed!
