"Creak -" The door of the warehouse seemed to be pushed by someone. Brutus and Marcus followed the sound towards the door of the warehouse. It turned out to be the village chief Lorenzo, and he was accompanied by a middle-aged man.
"Chief Lorenzo, Uncle Fabrice." Marcos greeted the two of them.
Village chief Lorenzo saw the spear in Brutus' hand and seemed to be shaking his head and sighing: "You, you are always interested in this spear in the village and always want to try it. All the young men in the village are called you
Come and try it all.”
Marcus rubbed the back of his head and smiled sheepishly: "Village Chief Lorenzo, please come and take a look. I think Mr. Brutus is the recognized person."
"What?" Fabrice, who was next to Mayor Lorenzo, was a little surprised. He walked quickly to the opposite side of Brutus and looked at the young man in front of him with wide eyes.
After looking left and right for a while, he seemed a little dissatisfied and said: "What, I think his body is not even as strong as Herman."
"You are exaggerating, Uncle Fabrice." Marcus was a little dissatisfied with Fabrice's insinuation, "I think Mr. Brutus looks much more powerful than Brother Hermann."
Mayor Lorenzo walked to Fabrice silently, observed Brutus for more than ten seconds, and then put his eyes on the spear in his hand.
After a while, he seemed to confirm something: "Brutus, how do you feel holding this spear?"
"It's not as heavy as I thought. Holding it feels like a part of my body." Brutus replied honestly. After all, this is indeed the case, "But I don't know how to use a spear, so I can't."
I haven’t tried to use it.”
Mayor Lorenzo looked at Fabrice: "Fabris, take the spear and give it a try."
Fabrice took the spear from Brutus. The slight heaviness caught him off guard, but he quickly adjusted.
"It's weird, I remember it wasn't this heavy last time."
He took two steps back, and then thrust towards a straw man in the warehouse - this straw man was originally used as a tool for daily stabbing practice, and many young people in the village had to use it in winter.
With a burst of strength, Fabrice pierced the tip of the spear into the straw man. Fabrice felt an inexplicable dullness, but he knew very well that this spear would be taken out by the young people in the village from time to time to take good care of it.
Yes, it stands to reason that this problem should not occur.
"I have a dull feeling, village chief."
Mayor Lorenzo nodded slowly. He knew what was going on. He took the spear from Fabrice's hand with both hands and stroked the patterns on the spear.
He looked at Brutus: "Brutus, now as the 10th village chief of Laxius Village, I allow you to temporarily use the Spear of Laxius. I hope you will always remember one thing: weapons are not brought to people.
To bless, but to give weapons prestige."
Brutus was temporarily confused about the meaning of the second half of the village chief's words, but he still took the spear solemnly with both hands: "I will remember it, Village Chief Lorenzo."
"As for your inability to use a spear, you can ask Fabrice for advice. Although his physical condition is not suitable for military service, he has also mastered basic martial arts. When the young adults in the village have completed their military service this year, you can also
You can ask them for advice."
"I understand, thank you, village chief." Brutus looked at Fabrice, "Please take good care of me in the future, Mr. Fabrice."
"Just call me Fabrice, and I will call you Brutus from now on." Fabrice rejected the suffix Sir, because in his opinion it was a useless suffix.
The village chief and Fabrice originally came to the warehouse to find maintenance tools. They also had to repair the Lindsay family's mill. If the things there were not repaired in time, the villagers might be prepared to starve. This was unexpected.
The extraneous things did not affect their original purpose too much, it was just a small matter that took a few extra minutes.
Brutus put the spear back into the box, and he was going to take the whole box back to his house. Fortunately, his body was much stronger than before, and he could carry a wooden box easily, although the mental fatigue was only temporary.
Indispensable...
After doing this, he planned to go with Marcos to inspect the buildings in the village. Anyway, it was still early before lunch time, so he was idle, so he might as well work early and get his salary early.
The reason why Marcos was brought along was of course because he didn’t know the way, and bringing along someone who was familiar with the situation in the village would undoubtedly reduce a lot of workload.
Although there are suspicions of using child labor for free...
Brutus plans to start investigating from Marcus's house. The first point is that he is close, and the second point is that he is lazy...
He was going to walk around the house with Marcus first. Brutus was checking items one by one on a ledger - the ledger was taken from the warehouse yesterday, and the project list was for sleeping.
He just made it when he didn't have a job. Although he didn't know what specific project it should be at first, he solved the problem by comparing it to the house he lived in.
"Your house seems to be in pretty good condition," Brutus said to Marcus. "There are basically no problems outside."
"Mr. Brutus, what is written in your account book?" Marcus was more curious about the contents of the account book in Brutus' hand.
"Oh, do you want to see it?" Brutus forgot that Marcus didn't know a few words, so he handed him the accounting book in his hand.
Marcus waved his hand and refused: "I'm just curious, and I can't understand."
"Ah, my question, just forget about it."
Brutus resisted the urge to cover his face. He felt that his mind was still living in an era when everyone went through compulsory education, but he forgot that this was the Middle Ages (maybe the Middle Ages) in a different world where the illiteracy rate was extremely high.
He explained to Marcos: "What is written in this ledger are maintenance projects. Compared with the house built by Pansy's house, if the condition is worse, put a cross, and if the condition is better, put a check."
"So that's it." Marcus said with a look of sudden realization. "Uncle Charlie never thought of this method. He just listened to the villagers and repaired whatever was broken."
Brutus didn't want to comment further on this, after all, it was just his own whim: "Well, I can't tell which method is better, each has its own advantages."
"Speaking of which, where did Mr. Brutus come to the Kingdom of Loma?"
Here it comes... Brutus was well prepared for this problem, and he had memorized all the important information in the manuscript.
"Gris."
"Gris?" Marcus was very unfamiliar with this place name. "Is it far from here? I mean from the village of Laxius."
Brutus nodded: "That's right. You need to cross the sea by boat first, and then you have to walk a long way on land. Even if you take a carriage the whole way, it will take a long time."
"Do all the nobles there know as many words as Mr. Brutus?" Marcus classified Brutus into the ranks of the nobles. In his opinion, this was only reasonable.
"There, some citizens will also receive education." After walking around, he knocked on the door of Marcos' house, "Hello, Ms. Galina, can you let me come into the house to check the furniture and other conditions?
?This is a job assigned to me by the village chief."
