During dinner, Bran once again rejected the guards that the Duke wanted to send over. This place is only more than a hundred meters away from the castle. With the strength of the knights, they can be there in an instant. Moreover, the Northland is vast and sparsely populated, and there are people near the castle every day.

There are knights patrolling and cleaning up, so it's very safe.

After winter comes, no one will run outside the castle. The harsh natural environment is the best barrier.

What attracts Bran's attention now is that the two brothers have faint markings on their faces. So according to Dany, this is when they heard the call of the wasteland?

Although he is not very close to his two brothers, as family members who have lived together for many years, there will always be a concern. As a younger brother, he should always help them do what he can within his ability.

For some reason, people in the North don't talk about coming-of-age rituals in detail. They more likely rely on animal-like instincts to arrive at a specific place at a specific time, just like animals migrating. People who want to go accept the teachings of their elders and don't talk too much.

The people who came back were silent, which frustrated Bran's wish to find out the news through his two brothers.

But another thing that Bran didn't understand was that the two brothers heard the summons at the same time. Does this mean that the second brother has better qualifications than the eldest brother? When Bran raised this question, the eldest brother obviously blushed.

The Duke's answer seemed particularly heavy: "No, it would be best to come back alive."

This sentence silenced everyone.

"Everything will be fine," Bran said loudly, "I will build the best weapons and armor for them."

He knew that the chances of his brothers returning successfully were very high. After all, with the authority of the Duke, allowing his children to receive better training and better equipment from an early age would give them a greater chance of completing the trial.

But looking around, feeling the heavy atmosphere, and remembering what Dany said that the wasteland was alive, Bran felt a strong uneasiness in his heart.

…

Early the next morning, Bran notified all the knights in the castle that their weapons were finished. During this period, Bran had been testing each weapon and did not release any more. Now he has more important things to do, so

He decided to return the weapons custom-made by these knights.

Today is a good day, at least for the knights in the castle.

Ever since Aisa took back his two-handed sword, the magic of this sword has spread little by little among the knights. All the knights are looking forward to getting their customized weapons as soon as possible, but no knight has shown any

Out of impatience and impatience, after all, this era is still in the environment of slow work and careful work. Some knights even sent some materials, or they thought they were magical, such as meteorite iron.

Today, Bran opened their eyes. Dozens of weapons were placed grandly at the door. Each weapon had the name tag of the owner. Dany stood by with a look of reluctance, looking at the hearts of each knight.

He nervously stepped forward to take away the custom-made weapon, and then pulled out the weapon with a look of satisfaction on his face.

…

After seeing off the knights, Bran began to close the door and refuse guests. He wanted to tailor-made weapons and equipment for his two brothers.

For Bran now, making equipment is really a piece of cake. Many times he just doesn't want to be a craftsman, or he is lazy. He prefers to look at the scenery, join in the fun, and stay curious about new things for a few days.

, be enthusiastic about many things for two or three days, and then be attracted by another interesting or boring thing.

Just facing the heavy atmosphere last night and facing his family, he didn't want to regret that he had done nothing after the loss. So he thought about doing something for his two brothers before they went to the wasteland. Or

It allows them to walk out of this home happily and with less regrets.

Looking at the two brothers in front of him who seemed to be very excited about the upcoming trial, Bran was speechless. Is adulthood really so attractive? 14 or 5 years old is the age when you are not afraid of the sky or the earth, and you have nothing to worry about. No

I worry about my parents and don't consider their mood. I just want to get rid of their constraints and want to prove my strength at any time. Maybe what I want to get rid of now is what I want to have forever and cherish in the future.

The two brothers look very similar, about the same height, both have dark red hair, and have strong lines unique to the Northlanders. Even on the faces of the two teenagers, there is little baby fat, because the body is far less

They have grown up, so their bodies are slightly thin, but their slightly bulging shoulders and thick necks make the two teenagers full of strength.

Perhaps because he was distracted, Bran's eyes looked empty, and Huahua next to him also imitated his master and raised his head, staring at the two of them humanistically, which made the two teenagers a little uncomfortable. As the boss, he was the first to make a sound to wake him up.

Bran: "Don't be in a daze, hurry up."

"Uh." Bran felt the threatening looks in his brothers' eyes and decided not to argue with them. As a civilized person, he would not use force to solve problems.

Bran recorded the arm length, shoulder width and other characteristics of the two brothers, and then asked them to try several sword blanks of different weights, and then quickly told the two brothers to get out. He originally wanted to cultivate some feelings with the two brothers, but faced

They obviously have violent tendencies and are at a restless age. Bran really doesn't dare to let them stay in his warehouse and studio for too long. Just looking at the expressions full of curiosity and eagerness to try, Bran is a little scared.

Thanks to Danni's miraculously appearing at the warehouse door at the critical moment, they were shocked.

…

The production went very smoothly. Bran made two wolf head hats in a playful way. After the hats were put on the head, they looked like wolf heads with their mouths open. The upper jaw was just on the top of the head, and the lower jaw protected the neck.

The back edge completely covers the back of the neck.

Two-hand crossbow, one-hand sword and buckler, plus half-body fish scale armor.

The inner skin protection of the fish scale armor and the outer layer of metal armor are top-notch defense, but when making the fish scale armor, Bran is in big trouble. For these armor plates that need to be weaved, Bran has a deep feeling of powerlessness.

It can only be knitted piece by piece manually.

Listening to the shouts of his brothers outside and the loud crowing of eagles, Branford was so moved that he ran outside and asked Danni, who was playing with the eagle, to help move all the skin guards and armor outside to teach his two brothers how to take care of them.

For the sake of armor, the two men were asked to wear armor themselves.

In the evening, Bran's two brothers wore wolf-headed hats, fish scale armor with unfinished armor plates, newly acquired weapons hanging on their bodies, and a pile of armor plates in their arms, and ran back to the castle happily.

.

…

The rugged style of the Northland does not have much sadness about farewell. When the two brothers travel, it is as if they are going out for a horse ride, and then they go to the wilderness accompanied by two attendants. When they arrive at the destination, the attendants will go first.

Returning, what awaits the two young men will be the test of the wilderness.

When eating every night, Bran looked at the two empty chairs, always feeling a sense of fear for the future, as if there was a huge mouth waiting in front of him to swallow him.

He could feel his parents' full expectations and worries, but what he didn't understand was why he had to participate in this trial. For the people of the North, was this trial really that important?
