The bronze craftsman mentioned by Claude lived in a forest several miles away from the village where he lived. There was a thatched hut built here. A stream flowed past the hut. Arod and his group rode their horses through the mossy green forest. When they were a hundred meters away from the hut, Claude took the back of his old horse and walked over alone. Arod, accompanied by the knights of the inner palace, was waiting in this green forest. After less than a while, a middle-aged man with messy hair and leather apron followed Claude and limped over. ()

"In front of you is the Lord Gongsun of the Principal of Mason. Lord Gongsun is my cousin Luther Holland, the most outstanding bronze craftsman in this area." Claude introduced the craftsman behind him to Arod and said to his cousin.

"Oh, dear Lord Gong, why did you come here?" When Luther heard that the powerful Duchy Mason in front of him was the Palace Prime Minister, he quickly bent down and bowed.

"Well, this is a good place. There must be copper mines nearby, right?" Aruod knew that craftsmen usually like to set up workshops where raw materials are produced, which can save time in transporting raw materials and find high-quality raw materials at any time.

"Yes, yes, there is a copper vein in this forest, but it is not mined that can only collect the copper ore that is occasionally exposed. I have paid taxes for Duke Mason." Luther Holland said nervously. He thought Arod was coming to him to pay the tax. You must know that in this desolate and remote forest, Duke Mason's tax collector was too lazy to come, and the copper ore here was not mined, so he just picked up some copper ore occasionally.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not here to investigate the taxes you haven't paid. On the contrary, I'm here to customize something for you. Can we enter your workplace and talk?" Arod said to Luther with a happy face.

"Of course, please come in." When Luther heard that he was not chasing the tax he had escaped, he breathed a sigh of relief. He should know that the land here belongs to Duke Mason in principle. The poor can only pick up dead wood branches falling from the forest as firewood on weekdays. The forest trees cannot be cut down without the consent of the Duke. Otherwise, it will be regarded as the most serious theft. The reason why Luther could smel copper and make bronze here was that he was not only a child of a noble family, but also a member of the craftsman guild. Members of the craftsman guild can use some natural resources when needed. However, the corresponding craftsman guild must serve Duke Mason to repay the generous reward of the Duke. When the guild members use the property of the Duke, they can pay a portion of money and goods as compensation.

Luther's workshop was built with wood and thatch. However, the main body was piled up with stones, and it was still strong and durable overall. A simple copper ware-making shed was built on one side outside the thatched hut. A half-old child was pulling a bellows in the furnace and sending oxygen into the furnace. On the furnace, the copper juice was bubbled in a tongs pot.

"I need you to make a copper wine pot for me." Arod walked into Luther's studio, but sent Claude away and said to Luther.

"Wine pot, oh, Count, I happen to have a few of them here, how about you?" Luther immediately recommended to Arod. This was originally made by him in his free time. He had no intention of finding a buyer for them, but he did not expect that today he would have a great fortune. A such a noble guest would come to his workshop, which made him a little uneasy.

"Dangdang~~." Luther walked into a corner and opened the curtain on it. A thick layer of dust floated up. Not only did Arod, but even the guards of the knights had to hide. When the curtain was pulled down, Arod heard the sound of metal collision. He saw many copper ware piled up there with lilac, most of which were really wine pots, but they were all broad-mouthed Greek wine pots, as well as hand-held wine pots commonly used by people in the Middle Ages.

"No, none of these can do it." Arod walked over and squatted down and looked at the copper pots, but unfortunately it was far from his request, so he said to Luther.

"Are you not satisfied with so many things?" Luther said in surprise. Although the copper pot he made was not a fine product, it took Luther a lot of thought to make it in a wide variety of ways.

"Yes, take a piece of paper, oh no, let me just say it, it's a wine pot with courage inside. The handle of the wine pot is hollow, and there is an inconspicuous little eye on it, which can lead to the inner liner." Arod said with a gesture and telling, Luther was confused. He had never even heard of this kind of wine pot, let alone making it, but fortunately, Arod's ability to express is not weak. After talking for a long time, Luther finally understood.

"What do you mean is that when your fingers press the hole, the wine in the inner liner cannot be poured out, but the wine in the interlayer will flow out?" Luther Holland is indeed an excellent coppersmith. He quickly realized what Arod said.

"Yes, this wine pot is very important. After I prepare it, I will send someone to send gems and gold, and be sure to decorate it in a very luxurious way." Arod said to Luther.

"Yes, yes, Lord Gong Xiang, I will follow your order." Luther quickly said to Arod.

"Well, I will let my inner knight Ron protect you." After Aroud said that, Ron immediately held the hilt of his waist and walked over and stood outside the door of the hut. This was not a protection, which clearly monitored Luther. This made Luther feel a little unhappy, but Luther understood his position, so he could only do everything as well.

When all this was arranged, Luther took the bulging money bag that Arod had untied from his waist, and felt ecstatic. The income was better than he had done for a year, but the knight standing at the door was in trouble and he had a headache.

Just as Arod was preparing to kill Count Lauziz, Harvey was disguising himself and standing dirty outside the door of Count Lauziz's manor. In this dangerous era, even the nobles' manor had thick and tall courtyard walls to prevent attacks and harassment from thieves and bandits.

"Du, du~~~." Harvey knocked on the thick wooden door of the manor with his hand. After a long time, he saw a small window opening on the door, and the gatekeeper inside looked out.

"What beggar do you want to do? Get out of here, there is no food for you." The gatekeeper looked at Harvey's dilapidated appearance and thought it was the beggar who was wandering over there, so he impatiently sent him away.

"I'm not here to beg. I just want to ask if you need workers here, you just need to provide me with some food." Harvey said pitifully to the gatekeeper.

"Well, it seems really pitiful, wait a moment." The gatekeeper looked at Harvey, completely like a beggar, but when he heard that the requirements were very low, he couldn't help but feel a little moved. Since Earl Lauziz took in the northerners, they have been fighting each other every day, or drunk, which has made the workers in the manor suffer. Now it would be great if there were more people.

So he closed the small window, and heard a click inside, the small wooden door on the door opened, and he waved Harvey with one hand. It seemed that he agreed to let her run away, Harvey hurriedly walked in.
