The Bloody Crusade of the Ash Knight

Eight in the morning.

After having breakfast, Andil mounted his war horse and headed straight to Swain's territory.

As the political center of Baron Swain, Swainland is a living town.

At the blacksmith shop in the morning, the York blacksmith was hammering away at the iron billet.

Judging from the shape of the iron billet, this should be a knight's sword. It's just that the knight's sword made of Fan Tie is more or less useless.

"Uncle York, I'm here to see you!"

He turned over and dismounted. Before the Andil people arrived, the sound came into the blacksmith shop first.

"Is it little Andile here? Come in quickly, I'm waiting for you to pull the firebox for me!"

Handing the horse to the apprentice, Andil strode into the blacksmith shop.

The 10-year-old Andil is already 155cm tall. For a psychic continent where the average human height is 180cm, Andil is considered to have developed early.

Of course, this is also related to regular exercise.

Entering the blacksmith shop, Andier was not timid at all. He directly took over the apprentice's work and pulled up the firebox himself.

"Yes, yes, the frequency is faster. The temperature was a little low just now."

"Ding ding ding ding..."

As the most powerful blacksmith in the Swain Territory, York never made farm tools. Knight swords and armor were York's forte.

It is said that York is a great blacksmith personally hired by the Baron from the Principality. York's blacksmith shop does not have to pay rent every year, and it can also receive an annual employment fee from the Baron.

The blacksmith Andil didn't know whether it was big or not, but Andy knew that York could make a fine gold sword.

After all, the Heritage Knight Sword was melted from York...

After two hours of hammering, the knight's sword made by York finally took shape.

"Zi..."

Waste oil quenching, this is the unique skill of the York blacksmith...

"Er Niu, take the iron sword and sharpen it. After sharpening it, give it to Holman in the grocery store."

After finishing the work at hand, York looked at Andile.

"Boy, did Knight Jermyn come back the day before yesterday? After melting your father's favorite thing, your butt didn't bloom?"

"Hey, Uncle York, can't you hope for something better from me?"

"You kid... tell me, are you going to restore the knight's sword this time? Let me tell you, I, York, don't do the work of eating and vomiting."

"No, it's all melted. Even if my little Andier is beaten, it won't melt back!"

"Okay, that's cool! You are indeed my favorite young apprentice, York. So what are you here for this time? Have you figured it out? You want to learn blacksmithing from me?"

"I'm officially informing you that I have started knight training. Please don't try to mess with me!"

"Ouch!? A 10-year-old knight squire? There is smoke coming out of the Holden family's ancestral grave?"

"My cultivation aptitude is unrivaled in the world, you should give up on accepting disciples!"

"It doesn't matter whether you accept a disciple or not, there will always be a time when your kid can use me!"

"Uh...Uncle York, I was too crazy just now. I apologize to you."

"Haha, are you giving in now? It seems like you have something to ask me for!"

"Hey, aren't you getting into trouble? I am now a knight's squire, and my father is unwilling to make me a knight's sword..."

"Want a knight's sword? A knight's squire fights. A knight's sword weighing about 10 kilograms is easier to use.

This is not difficult. I have ready-made ones here. I will pick a good one for you later. "

"No, I don't want a knight's sword made of pure iron. A knight's sword made of pure iron is thick and easy to break."

"You don't want to make it out of adamantine, do you? A knight's sword mixed with adamantine would cost at least 40 kilograms!"

"It's made of fine gold, but it doesn't have to be that big. I'm only 155, so I can't swing a knight's sword that's too big!"

Andile explained his needs. Andile needed a knight's sword with a hilt of 15 cm and a blade of 110 cm.

The overall length is 125cm, so it won’t look awkward when you swing it.

"Well, the sword body is 110 centimeters, so the width and thickness of the sword body cannot be too large."

"5 to 8 centimeters wide and 0.8 to 1.4 centimeters thick. What do you think?"

York thought for a moment.

"So, the knight's sword weighs about 25 kilograms. Can you swing it during a battle?"

"It's not like you don't know that I am born with supernatural powers. It's not a big deal for me to be safe."

The sound of clanking iron came from the blacksmith shop again, but this time the rhythm was more lively.

Two days later, Andile returned to the Knight Manor.

On this trip, Andil not only brought back a knight's sword, but also wore a set of knight's leather armor and a long bow.

Bow and arrow shooting is also a subject of knight training, but with the development of society, archer knights were separated and became archers.

A pot of feathered arrows and a hard bow.

With the scarecrow erected outside the stable, Andil was wrestling with the stiff bow.

The bow of the Wushan tree has been secretly made through countless processes, and the large tendons of the horned rhinoceros have been processed in various ways.

This is a black shirt bow, the most famous hard bow in the Principality of Swain. Wushan Gong is famous in the nearby principalities and is the hard currency of the nearby principalities.

A black shirt bow, and Andile owed a foreign debt of 70 silver coins.

The Wushan Bow was Uncle York's collection. While chatting while blacksmithing, Andile said that he wanted to practice archery and wanted Uncle York to introduce him to a useful bow and arrow.

The strength of the bows and arrows introduced by York were too low, and Andier looked down upon them. So York took out his treasured black shirt bow.

The two agreed that if Andier could open the Wushan Bow, York would sell the Wushan Bow to Andier.

Andier pulled it open, and the black-shirted bow naturally belonged to Andier. But Andil only has 30 silver coins. So Andil owed 70 silver coins.

The normal selling price of a Wushan bow is 10 gold coins. Even in the Principality of Swain, a Wushan bow is worth 5 gold coins.

York's one was obtained by forging a knight's sword. Uncle York's friend is a master bow maker.

The reason why he sold 1 gold coin to Andier was because Uncle York liked the boy Andier too much.

Recruiting Andier to strike iron is Uncle York's favorite thing to do these days.

Wu Shi Bow is a knight's bow, and it is already very difficult for Andier, who is a knight's squire, to fire a bow.

In one hour, 6 arrows were shot, 3 of which barely hit the target, and the other three arrows went to who knows where!

Putting away his bow and arrows, Andil rubbed his sore arms.

All things were stored in his room, Andil had lunch and set out on the journey to Swain Territory again.

Selling oneself to pay off a debt, 70 silver coins is not a small amount. Andile has promised York to help York build iron for free for three years.

Do what you say, this is Andier's way of chivalry.

Andil is still too young to go on missions with the Knights. Since he can learn blacksmithing from Master York, Jimin will naturally not stop him.

Bringing the bell and the knight's sword, Andier got into the family carriage.

Mido'er is helping Andier pack up the gifts, change clothes, bedding, toiletries...
