The twenty-sixth banquet
When Oun appeared in front of Arod, he was not particularly surprised. He even thought about why he came. The young blacksmith had a rosy face. After completing the sword, his father finally slept with the sweetest sleep in his life. This made the young man who depended on his father very happy. However, Sir Eble, who followed Oun, had a bright smile on his face, made Arod confused. The first heir to the Duke, was wearing luxurious aristocratic clothes, and followed several followers, which seemed very leisurely.
"Sir, please look at this sword." Ouen handed over the sword in his hand. The sword body was narrow and long, with a cross shape on the handle, without too much decoration. This was originally the sword that Ouen and his father tried to cast, of course it was impossible to have too much decoration. Aruod took it and looked it and tried the sharpness with his thumb. Sure enough, the cold forged sword was much stronger than the hot forged sword, and it emitted a strange luster on the sword's sword.
"Uh~~~, Lord Arod." Just as Arod looked at the sword in his hand carefully, Sir Eble, who was standing beside him, had to interrupt.
"Sir Eble, are you here to find my father? He went to train soldiers." Arod thought that Sir Eble received the order from Duke Mason to find Sir Wendell, but he had no idea that Sir was coming for the sword in his hand. In Sir Eble's view, the priceless sword was not as good as a kitchen knife in his later kitchen, so he did not think of the true value of the sword at all.
"Oh, no, my father has not issued the order to go to war yet. I have another purpose." Sir Wendell was so nervous that he could hardly breathe. He saw Aruod inserting the sword into the soil casually, and he couldn't help but clench his fists next to his mouth to cough to hide his embarrassment. He also saw that the sword in Oun's hand was for Aruod. If Aruod asked him at this time, it seemed that he would like to suppress others with power, but he really liked this sword too much. This indelible hobby was his only hobby.
"What's the point of doing you come here?" Aroud asked in confusion. Sir Eblet seemed to have something to hide.
"This noble lord, I want this sword in your hand." Oun hesitated and answered for Sir Eble. He had told Sir Eble that there was a master of this sword, but Sir Eble still wanted to know who the master of the sword was. The lord even thought that if it was bought by his father, he would ask for it. As a result, when Oun told him that it was Arod, Sir Eble smiled and wanted to go with him, and the scene in front of him was here.
"Is this?" Arod looked down at the sword in his hand in surprise. He did not expect that Sir Eble was so serious about the test cold forging sword in his hand. It can be seen how much this cold forging sword this cold forging sword is loved by Sir Eble.
"Yes, I know it's very difficult, but I like this sword twelve minutes. Can you give it to me? Of course, you can offer it as much as possible." Sir Eble said hurriedly, completely like he was at mercy. If he met a prodigal businessman, he would definitely make a lot of money. Anyway, the Hermann family has wealth.
"Since you like it so much, please give it to you." Aruod thought of his poor family, who drew his sword from the soil and handed it to Sir Eble casually. His soul came from the east and he deeply understood the principle of giving first. If he wanted to find a backer, there was no more suitable than the first heir of the duke. Thinking of this, he generously presented the sword in his hand to Sir Eble.
"What? Do you really want to give me this sword?" Sir Eble took the sword handed over by Aruod in disbelief. He believed that no knight could refuse a sharp sword. There were even cases of knights launching private battles for a sword. It was because of the backwardness of casting technology in this era. If a sharp sword was obtained, it would be impossible to break the opponent's weapon in one round on the battlefield. That would be invincible on the battlefield. But Aruod gave him this priceless sword unconditionally. Sir Eble couldn't help but think that there was no conspiracy in it. The hand that took the sword hesitated for a moment, but he could not resist the temptation of the sword.
"Of course, it's not completely free. I hope that you can take my family more in front of Duke Mason. After all, the Wendell family is a knight who serves the Herman family for generations. Our loyal God knows, but it would be better if the Duke could know." Arod said with a smile. He saw through Sir Eble's hesitation. If this sword is really priceless, the Jazz's hesitation is understandable. After all, the pie that suddenly fell from the sky will also knock people unconscious.
"Haha, of course, I will remember." After hearing Arud's words, Sir Eble was relieved. He grabbed the sword tightly and hugged it in his arms, and agreed readily. Such a small thing was very simple for him. However, as the first heir of the duke, he knew at a very young age that he had to be always guarded against other people. The court itself was a place where dirt was hidden. If he was not careful, he would be held by his political enemies. Being careful is always an important factor for a long life.
"Master Arod, are you giving the sword to someone else?" Oun looked at Sir Eble who was so happy to pick up the sword and turned around and walked out of the camp. He couldn't help but say to Arud beside him. As a blacksmith, he knew the value of this sword. Although he would not have a clear concept of technological innovation, his experience told him that this cold forging sword would be invincible on the battlefield.
"It doesn't matter. As long as you know the secret technique, this kind of sword will be created again." Aruod shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently. The cold forging sword technique is only one ten thousandth of the technology he knows. If you tell all the technology you know, it will not cause a technological revolution.
"Oh, Lord Arod, I almost forgot an important thing." Sir Eble, who walked to the entrance of the camp, suddenly turned back anxiously, and said to Arod gracefully, "Tonight there will be a banquet in the castle. My father will invite many powerful vassals to attend. Of course, I think the people of the Wendel family should also attend, as a loyal family. I will report to my father, and I will also invite you and your family to enjoy the glory at that time."
"Of course, I am very grateful to you, Lord Jazz." Aruod said that kindness is rewarded. Look, dividends will appear immediately. The place for communication in the upper class in this era is this kind of banquet. Being able to meet many lords with important influences will be of great benefit to the development of their family. Only when their family develops and grows can they live leisurely in this era.
The delighted Sir Eble returned to the castle happily with the sword. There was a special small room in his room, which was full of various swords, axes and other weapons, and there were many works of art from the Italian city-state. The swords cast by the casting masters spent their hard work were beautiful in appearance, but when Sir Eble took out the cold forged sword, the other swords were overshadowed, which made Sir Eble even more obsessed.
When Sir Wendell, who had trained his soldiers, returned to the camp, Arod told them all about this matter, but in order not to cause trouble, he chose to skip how he helped Oun to cast his sword, but said that he bought a sword but was attracted by Sir Eble.
"Attend a banquet in the castle?" Sir Wendell was very surprised. You should know that little nobles like them were not likely to enter the castle, unless it was summoned by the duke. Of course, this possibility was even smaller.
"Great, Duke Mason finally knows the importance of the Wendell family." If shouted excitedly. He couldn't help but pick up the horn cup and scoop out a glass of wine in the malt barrel, and poured it into his mouth with big mouth.
"I don't think so. This should be because of the sword Arod gave. I have heard that Duke Mason's heir is a knight who is fond of weapons." Sir Wendell reached out and touched his beard and said thoughtfully.
"No matter what, we were invited, so let's think about what clothes to wear to attend the banquet." Yifu finished drinking happily, reached out and wiped his mouth and said indifferently.
"Okay, anyway, this is a good thing." Sir Wendell nodded, feeling that he should go to buy a suitable dress, because the banquet at the Duke's court was a formal occasion and should be dressed in etiquette.
In the market under the castle, there are tailor shops that specialize in cutting clothes, which are dyed with various fine linens. These fine linens are usually used as materials for aristocratic clothing. The most common places for noble ladies and noble ladies, and the popularity of clothing will also spread from here to other counties. Germanic ladies usually wear dress-style skirts, with large round necks on the necklines that reveal the white neck skin, and decorative head rings on their heads. They usually braided their hair into fine braids and spread on their shoulders, rather than wearing steep tower hats like French ladies, because Germanic ladies still maintained simple customs.
