Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated Lollister was woken up by the ear-piercing sound of sawing wood. He opened his eyes and saw that the girl beside him still had tears on her face. She frowned and murmured in her sleep.
Lollister gently pulled out his arm from under the girl's neck and covered her with the quilt. Naked, he got off the bed and found his sleeping robe. He put it on and walked to the window. Sure enough, it was the cook's son who was sawing wood. This man was quite diligent. He was already doing woodwork early in the morning. Not bad.
Last night, the excitement of taking over the family for the first time and the anxiety of inheriting the title and territory of the family were all vented on Elina. Right now, Laurist felt refreshed and satisfied.
He quietly washed his face with the cold water in the bucket in the bathroom, wiped his body, and put on his clothes. Then, he went downstairs and prepared to take his sword for morning practice.
However, when he went downstairs to the living room, Lollister was dumbfounded. "Where are my swords? Where are my swords? "
Lollister found that the two swords on the knife rack in the living room were gone. Only the sword that represented the family master's authority was still there. That was strange. Who had taken his two swords?
Lollister went to the guest room at the end of the corridor and knocked on the door. Thurcamp opened the door while yawning. Last night, he was invited by the three stewards to drink for half the night. The stewards knew that he was the new family master's henchman and tried their best to flatter him. Thurcamp also told him some of Lollister's hobbies, and both the host and the guest enjoyed themselves. That was why they woke up late in the morning.
Knowing that Lollister's swords were gone, Thurcamp sobered up from his drunken stupor and hurried to help search for them.
Lollister asked, "Where's Pat?"
Thurcamp answered, "He left early in the morning. Yesterday, you announced that he would be in charge of the new family guard team, so he woke up early …"
Pat shouldn't have taken my sword. He has his own sword. Why would he take mine? While Lollister was thinking, he heard the sawing sound again …
Right, he should ask the man who was sawing wood. Lollister and Thurcamp went to the yard. Thurcamp asked, "Edward, who came to our house this morning?"
Edward, who was sawing wood, only stopped after a long time. "The Young Miss was here …"
Bai Sha? What is she doing here? Laurist asked anxiously, "Then did you see what she took?"
Edward nodded. "She took your swords, two of them. I recognize your scabbard …"
Why does Miss Bai Sha want my sword? While Laurist was still confused, Edward spoke again. "Miss Bai Sha has always wanted to forge a suitable weapon, but she lacks good materials, and there are no good swords at home. I think she took your two swords to the old blacksmith, Uncle Alba … "
Laurist slammed his fist into the wall, his heart filled with rage. What was the meaning of this? Young Miss Bai Sha actually wanted to use the sword of the new Patriarch to refine her own weapon? Did she not even put him in her eyes? He gave in to her because she was the eldest sister in Locke's memory, but it didn't mean that he, a transmigrator who occupied Locke's body, was afraid of her. If he didn't do anything this time, would he still be respected as the new Patriarch?
"Take me to the old blacksmith, Alba," Laurist said coldly to Thurdkamp.
Laurist knew how much precious materials and a great price were used to forge his two swords. For example, the incisors of the Goldbiter Rats could only be bought for one small silver coin, but Laurist had bought almost a thousand of them. He had spent almost ten Gold Fords to smelt these thousand incisors into his swords. Only then did his swords become strong and sturdy. Even if he didn't use his inner strength, his swords would still be able to block the sword light. His companions all knew that although their swords looked unremarkable, the price they had spent was not much less than those famous Godly Weapons.
When Laurist first got used to life after transmigrating, he was also confused by the unique impetus ranks of this world. According to his understanding, it should be gold, silver, copper, and iron. Why did this world divide impetus into bronze, iron, silver, and gold? Shouldn't iron be the lowest rank?
It wasn't until Laurist started his knight training course at Dawn College that he understood that although this world was similar to the Middle Ages on Earth, there were still some differences. The biggest difference was impetus. The lances of the Knights were not made of applewood either. In the movies that Laurist watched in his previous life, the scene of two Knights breaking their lances upon contact was impossible to happen here. Due to the presence of Combat Aura, the lances here were more like the weapons in games. The blades of the lances were more than a foot long, and some were even two feet long. After the Silver-tier Knights infused their Combat Aura into the lances, the swords formed were like blades that could cut through anything in their path.
It was only during his knight training course that Laurist learned that when the Magicians first created impetus, they discovered a problem. The practitioners of impetus didn't have much to do with each other in the first two stages, but once they reached the third stage, they would start to rely heavily on their weapons. At that time, the Magicians discovered that normal weapons made of metal couldn't be infused well with impetus, and would quickly break after a few uses.
The magicians found three kinds of metal materials that could be used to infuse combat energy. The first one was bronze. Unfortunately, the sword light formed by the infusion of combat energy into a bronze weapon was scattered and messy. It could not last long. Mithril and dark gold were better at forming sword light. However, mithril and dark gold were precious magic materials. The Magicians didn't have enough for their own experiments, so how could they use them to create the weapons of the practitioners of impetus?
So the Magicians started experimenting again, and finally discovered a metal material that could be infused with impetus by combining tungsten and adamantium. The Magicians called this black metal material black iron, which was placed above bronze. The first four stages of impetus were named bronze, adamantium, mithril, and dark gold. With the passing of the magic civilization, the two magic materials, mithril and dark gold, became legendary items. Later generations used silver and gold to replace the two stages of impetus.
Although the magic civilization had passed and became a legend, the records of impetus were still preserved. Blacksmiths all knew that by adding tungsten, the impetus could be infused into weapons. With the discovery of more and more metal materials that could be infused with impetus, the forging of weapons was developing in a more diversified way. Forging a weapon that was easy to use was not as simple as adding tungsten ore at the beginning.
Sometimes, Laurist felt sad when he thought about his inherited family's territory. Although the territory was vast, there were no mineral deposits. In the past two hundred years, they had only found a copper mine in the Morgen Hills. However, Laurist felt that Fatty Shi was right. Although the family's territory was huge, it was not that there were no mineral deposits. It was just that they had not discovered them yet. The family had been entangled with the Mountain Barbarians for more than two hundred years, and they had been living a miserable life with the magical beasts. How could they have the time to find someone to explore the resources in the territory? As a result, the family did not even have the materials to forge a good weapon.
Miss Bertha had good taste. She had taken a liking to Laurist's two swords at first glance. However, taking them without permission and doing as she pleased was a huge taboo for Laurist, especially on the second day after Laurist took over as the head of the Norton Family. It had become a provocation. Miss Bertha, as a knight of the family, did not respect the head of the family. She had rebelled against her superiors, and it was like a slap to Laurist's face.
Sadkamp brought Lollister to the northwest corner of the manor castle, where the family's blacksmith shop was located. A white-haired old man was examining the two swords of Lollister in his hands, shaking his head. It was obvious that this old blacksmith, Alba, had better taste than Miss Bertha. He knew that it would not be easy to melt the two swords in his hands with the furnace of his simple blacksmith shop. Miss Bertha, who was standing in front of him, became more and more disappointed as the old blacksmith shook his head.
Laurist did not say a word. With a gloomy expression, he snatched the two swords from the old blacksmith's hands. Seeing that it was the new head of the family, Alba hurriedly lowered his head in greeting. Miss Bertha, on the other hand, glared at him and said angrily, "What are you doing? You are an Iron-rank. Aren't you wasting the materials by using such good swords? Hurry up and give them to me so that I can forge a good weapon to protect the family."
Laurist stared coldly at this self-righteous woman. He was extremely annoyed. "For the sake of my deceased brother, I can forgive your rudeness this time, Miss Bertha. Also, before the men of the Norton Family die out, it is not your turn to protect the family. Please remember this. "
"What do you mean? How dare an Iron-rank trash like you speak to me like this? Give me the swords. Also, I came to you this morning to ask you to hand over the newly formed family guards to me. Padt has just reached the Silver-rank. He does not have the right to lead the guards … "Miss Bertha pointed at Laurist and ordered him rudely.
"Go back to where you came from. Don't be an eyesore!" Laurist suppressed his anger.
"Good, you think you can do whatever you want just because you're the head of the house? It seems that if I don't teach a Black Iron trash like you a lesson, you won't know how powerful I am. I will make you remember this lesson." Big Miss Bai Sha was unable to restrain her anger and pulled out her sword.
Serdkamp quickly stepped forward to stop her. "Miss, don't do anything. The lord is …"
Slap! Miss Bertha slapped Serdkamp across the face. "Get lost. You have no right to speak!"
Before beating a dog, one must first look at the owner's face. She clearly knew that Serdkamp was Laurist's follower, yet she did not give him any face and slapped him. It seemed like she was used to being a tyrant in the Norton Family. Laurist was truly furious. If he did not teach this red-haired demoness a lesson, she would not know her place. A mere 2-star Silver rank dared to be so arrogant in front of him …
Although the blacksmith shop was located in the northwest corner of the castle, the dispute between Laurist and Miss Bertha still attracted the attention of many people. Many servants and servants surrounded them. Laurist understood that if he did not teach this Miss Bertha a lesson, his prestige as the new head of the family would fall very quickly …
Laurist slowly pulled out his sword. "Come. As long as you can take three moves from me, you will be the boss of the castle in the future …"
"Three moves? You really know how to boast. See how I will teach you a lesson …" Miss Bertha snorted disdainfully. The sword in her hand lit up as she charged forward …
"Clang!" Miss Bertha's sword broke into two, and Laurist's sword rested on her neck.
"You, aren't you just relying on your sword to be powerful?!" Miss Bertha could not believe the reality in front of her. After staring blankly for a long time, she finally found an excuse.
"Alright then, I won't use my sword. Come again." Laurist sheathed his sword and threw the two swords to Serdkamp. He then found a one-meter-long wooden stick and used it as a sword.
Miss Bertha rushed into the blacksmith shop. After searching for a long time, she came out with a two-handed sword. The sword lit up and slashed towards Laurist's head …
"Whoosh!" The wooden stick and the two-handed sword collided in mid-air. The two-handed sword was sent flying far away, and Laurist's wooden stick was pressed against Miss Bertha's throat.
"Ah!" Miss Bertha screamed, startling Laurist. She then rushed into the blacksmith shop and grabbed a spear, thrusting it towards Laurist …
Laurist's figure swayed, and the spear missed. Laurist's wooden stick knocked Miss Bertha's spear to the ground, but she then picked up her axe …
Leurist was getting impatient. He dodged the axe, and the wooden rod swept past Young Miss Bai Sha's chin. With a twist, the rod struck the Young Miss' neck. The red-haired demoness swayed as she raised her axe. Unable to control the dizziness, she fell straight to the ground …
When Miss Bertha woke up, she found herself leaning against the wall. The old blacksmith, Alba, who was working, said, "Miss, although I am also an Iron-rank trash, I can see that the master's swordsmanship is a hundred times better than yours. You are not his match at all. Serdkamp also said that the master once set up an arena in Morent City and challenged three thousand Silver-rank Swordsmen without losing. He was known as Black Iron Locke, the invincible Silver-rank … "
After lecturing Miss Bertha, Laurist brought Serdkamp back. Just as he turned the corner, he saw Steward Kedan appear at the side of the road. He bowed respectfully, "Sir, are we going to Northern Field Town now?"
