King’s Kingdom

Drizzle and drizzle rustled down from the sky, the chills almost penetrated the clothes and almost entered the bone marrow, the air full of haze was full of moist breath, and even the sun in the sky was radiantly sullen, half-dark. The white sky makes people drowsy looking at it.

However, in a small castle outside Lanyin City, it is in full swing. This is an iron smelting workshop belonging to the Lanyin royal family. Originally, there were more than 400 blacksmiths and their apprentices here to build weapons and armor to serve the king. .

However, the small castle, which could accommodate a thousand people, was very crowded at this time. Almost each of the five hundred blacksmiths entered the castle with two or three apprentices.

After Theodosius ordered their people to arrange accommodation and accommodation for them, they let them devote themselves to the work as soon as possible. After spending some money, these blacksmiths immediately devoted themselves to blacksmithing.

After all, Theodosius paid them a full moon silver coin every month, and a full moon silver coin was equivalent to ten crescent silver coins, a hundred star copper coins, and a thousand star copper coins, even for a high-tech profession like a blacksmith. , such a salary is a rare high salary.

Even the professional soldiers under his command only get five full moon silver coins per month, and elites such as Lan Yin knights earn only two sunset gold coins per month, which is equivalent to twenty full moon silver coins.

And the reason why Theodosius has the confidence to offer such a high salary is naturally because of the 150,000 Sunshine Gold Coins he got from the Northern Empire, which translates to 1.5 million Afterglow Gold Coins and 15 million Full Moon Silver Coins. One hundred and fifty million silver crescent coins.

You must know that the annual salary of the Lanyin Kingdom to the army, knights, nobles, grooms, cooks, guards, town guards, etc. is just over 4,500 sunshine gold, and the annual currency income of the Lanyin Kingdom is only 5,000. A gold coin of sunshine, 150,000 pieces of sunshine gold need Theodosius not to eat or drink for 30 years to save.

Although the 150,000 Sunshine Gold was taken away by Kritidos and 10,000 were taken away, and a bounty was to be distributed in the future, the remaining 100,000 in the end was estimated to be no problem, and it was still an unattainable sum of money. huge sum of money.

Under the high salary and the arrangement of the family, these blacksmiths put in 12 minutes of hard work, working nearly 14 hours a day, except for eating and sleeping.

Each of them has a different job. Some make half-meter-long blade-shaped lance heads according to Theodosius' requirements, others make long swords used by warriors, and more dense seven-ring buckle chain mail. .

As for the blacksmith's apprentices, they were making large-scale and large-scale armor pieces at this time.

After thinking about it, Theodosius still felt that the price-performance ratio of chain armor was slightly lower. Although it was very good in defense, the protection against blunt weapons was close to nothing. At the same time, it was very time-consuming and required a lot of blacksmith craftsmanship. high.

The quality is basically determined by the blacksmith's technique. Even an accomplished blacksmith needs a month and a half of weaving to complete the seven-ring buckle link that Theodosius wants, which is very unfavorable for large-scale installation.

But the armor does not have this requirement. This kind of armor only needs to create a piece of armor, and it can be connected in series at the end. At the same time, it also has a certain effect on blunt strikes. The only disadvantage is that the protection area is not as good as the chain. First.

And if the chain armor and the zha armor can be combined, it will greatly improve the survivability and combat effectiveness of the warriors. After all, in Theodosius, the enemies he will face next may not be all humans.

What's more, he has to take his army to the north of the Hengduan Mountains to support the elves. The enemy he will face at that time will not be humans, but the army of dark creatures under the dragon lord.

To face such an enemy, Theodosius felt that the warriors should be equipped with more sophisticated protective equipment. The population of the Rhine Kingdom is too small, and every excellent warrior is a valuable asset.

At this time, in Duolun, the southern city of the Dragon Continent.

This seaside city is always filled with the salty smell of the sea, such as forest masts passing in and out of the port, rough sailors shouting their horns to climb up and down, countless goods are transported from the ship, a large number of The treasures of gold and silver poured into the pockets of merchants like water.

In an unremarkable tavern, the dim candlelight shone the shadows in the room, and the sailors who had just disembarked entered this paradise with their foul-smelling bodies, ready to seek the long-awaited happiness.

Facing the dishonest hands of these evil spirits, the waitress shyly scolded her in a low voice, but after these sailors took out the silver coins, she turned her anger into joy, and used her seductive eyes to refuse to return the shame, and took them to a hidden room. .

The bard plays simple instruments and sings heroic epics from four thousand years ago. His impassioned singing is out of tune with the lewd atmosphere here.

"Saint King Ender is brave and invincible!"

"His spear is justice incarnate."

"The armor made of pure gold is as dazzling as the sun."

"It's like the gods come in person, and the sun and the moon descend to the mortal world."

"The mountain-like evil dragon is awe-inspiring."

"Its dragon flame burns up everything like the karmic fire in purgatory."

"The people can't wait to eat their flesh and sleep their skin."

"Just when everyone is desperate."

"People shouted: Oh, it's Ender, brave Ender!"

"He rode a white horse and held a lance~www.wuxiahere.com~ Oh, Ender, the great holy king."

"King of Courage and Fire, Brave Ender, you ended the darkness and opened the light... Run to the sun, where are you going? When will you return?"

The bard is a young man who looks relatively immature. He has medium-length jet-black hair, dark blue pupils, and his delicate facial features.

His voice was hoarse with magnetism, and the beautiful baritone voice that did not match his appearance made the drinkers around him intoxicated. One was wearing black light armor, carrying two long swords, and a white head. The long-haired man couldn't help clapping his hands in admiration.

"It's a perfect singing! The lyrics and the music fit together perfectly, and the legendary experience of Saint King Ender seems to have appeared in front of me!" The white-haired man stood up from his seat and walked in front of the bard.

"Introduce me, my name is Jarante, you can also call me a silver hound!" The white-haired man pulled a chair and sat in front of the bard.

"Oh, good Jarante, my name is Frode, thank you very much for your compliment, but what's the matter with you?"

"Oh, speaking of which I do have something to do!" Gerante raised his eyebrows, reached out and took out a ring from his pocket, placed it in front of Frode and said, "You should know this ring. Ring?"

"This..." Frode's eyes widened, he took out a necklace hanging around his neck from his clothes, and compared it carefully.

After a while, Frode asked incredulously, "How could you have this ring?"

"What's so strange about this? Because I'm also a guide!" Jarante said softly with a mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth.
