Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 90 Conjecture
Near noon, Levi found Knight Skye in the caravan camp, who was combing his warhorse and preparing to leave.

"Knight Skye, please give this letter to Miss Leah, and give my regards to the Duke on his behalf."

Sikai took an envelope sealed with ink and put it solemnly back on his chest.

"Don't worry, sir. I will definitely bring it to you."

Levi nodded.

He would rather give the letter to Skye who had just arrived than to Miriel because this middle-aged knight possessed the spirit of chivalry.

Levi has always been very accurate in judging people. Such people often value creed and honor more than life, and would not do things like reading letters.

Although he was not afraid of the letter being read by others.

Lord Li has lived an upright and aboveboard life!

Finally, the lord, with his hands behind his back, watched the caravan leave. Feeling the cool breeze, the lord felt inexplicably empty and shook his head to dispel this temporary feeling.

However, the departure of Mutuo and the caravan did make Gaoyabao less lively.

But within a few days, more smoke and fire began to rise in Gaoya Castle.

Slaves worked as coolies, and under the command of the Fed craftsman, they built earthen blast furnaces not far from the rushing river.

The two Windego beasts also became amiable under the lord's three-finger-thick cowhide whip and began to pull the mined iron ore from the Fed tribe to Gaoya Castle.

These two giant beasts are two and a half feet tall at the shoulder, weigh over a thousand pounds, and have plenty of endurance, making them perfect for hauling cargo.

One Windego beast can pull a cart full of iron ore, and only ten bundles of ryegrass are needed to travel a hundred kilometers.

And these tender green grasses are everywhere in the wilderness.

The most experienced blacksmith in the Fed tribe was called An Zhui. When the lord saw him for the first time, he thought that he would definitely be able to get along well with the dwarf blacksmith.

This is a little old man with gray hair and a beard. I don’t know if it’s because he has been working as a blacksmith for many years, but he has a very strong and sturdy build.

If the lord hadn't asked him whether he was a dwarf or not, the old man would have been so angry that he almost took out his family tree. I guess no one would believe that he didn't have dwarf blood.

However, this name also reminded the lord of the dwarf named Migen, to whom he still owed six hundred gold grams.

Since the joining of the Fede tribe and the Evil Fang tribe, they have voluntarily donated money, which has made the lord's small treasury full again, with more than two thousand gold grams.

But Levi is not planning to pay it back immediately. After all, the contract stipulates that it will be within one year, which is July or August next year.

The current six hundred gold grams and next year's six hundred gold grams mean completely different things to the Lord.

An Zhui poured the burned charcoal into the blast furnace, then poured in iron ore according to the proportion, and finally picked out the iron slag from the separated residue, and repeated this operation over and over again.

Until only regular and irregular sized iron blocks are left, and finally these iron blocks are melted into molten iron to form palm-sized, trapezoidal long iron ingots.

After cooling down and being neatly stacked, these iron ingots can be used directly whether for making weapons or armor.

If you want to improve the quality of the iron block later, you need to continue to reduce the carbon content. After neutralizing the high and low carbon contents, it can become steel.

Weapons made of fine steel are always hot commodities no matter where they are in the Medieval Continent.

Zat squatted on the ground like a curious bear, watching the gradually cooling iron ingots. He scratched his bald forehead but couldn't figure out why stone-like iron ore could become iron ingots after being burned by fire.

To be honest, it came here with the intention of learning from the orcs. After all, the orcs lacked blacksmiths. It believed that if the orcs were smart and eager to learn, they would be no worse than the potato-like dwarves if they could forge weapons.

Levi couldn't stand its eyes that revealed such clear stupidity.

However, Levi did think of one thing. This world's technology is backward, and ironmaking and other things all rely on manpower.

Therefore, a strong man with a sturdy build is a natural choice for blacksmithing.

Although these Fed people are proficient in blacksmithing and are considered to be taller than humans, they are still not as good as the orcs, trolls and other alien races.

Today, Gaoyabao's blacksmithing industry is booming, and all it lacks is 007's employees.

The lord is considering whether to capture a few trolls or monsters to swing the hammer.

After all, it would be a shame if these big and strong guys didn't come to work as blacksmiths.

However, these have to be done in a few days. Now Levi has a more important thing to verify.

Several experienced Feder blacksmiths led their apprentices to set up the anvils and began to forge the iron ingots into weapons.

Zat also came over, holding a blacksmith's hammer. The hammer seemed quite big in the hands of the Fed people, but in its hand it was as delicate as a mineral water bottle in O'Neal's hand.

Levi bought a double-edged axe specially used by the fifth-level Orc Greataxe Guards from the system, and ordered the blacksmiths to make a weapon as similar as possible.

He was doing a simple experiment.

The soldiers in the system all have standard equipment, such as the warhammer of the fourth-level soldiers, the double-edged battle axe of the fifth-level greataxe guards, ox-horn iron helmets and iron armor.

These equipment are always available for purchase in the system store.

However, the military expenditure was so tight in the past that the lord wanted to spend it in two parts, so he never provided the orcs with standard equipment according to the system standards.

The Orc Guards have been using weapons purchased from the "Migen Weapon Shop" in Bailiu City. Even the armor they wear are pieces purchased by the lord.

So far, the effect of this approach seems to be quite good. Every time the orcs advance, their strength will be greatly improved.

But Levi wanted to know whether the system made sense as it provided soldiers with different standard equipment at each stage.

In other words, is there any difference between letting the barbarians use the equipment provided by the system and those they create in reality? Will the standard equipment provided by the system improve their strength more?

The Fed blacksmiths are all experienced blacksmiths. As soon as they handled the double-edged battle axe that Levi bought from the system, they all praised it and said that this weapon was definitely made by a master.

Whether it is the weight, shape, or exquisite texture, it is just right.

"Sir, we cannot guarantee that we can create a weapon comparable to it. We can only try to make it as close as possible."

Finally, Blacksmith Fed said with great regret.

"It's okay, just do your best. The most important thing is that the weight and appearance should be similar. There's no need to pursue those patterns." Levi comforted.

He had never thought of asking the blacksmiths to forge weapons that were exactly the same as those produced by the system.

Although the weapons in the system are expensive, their quality is indeed impeccable. You get what you pay for.

　Brothers, I will adjust the update time and divide the chapter times together. There will be three updates tomorrow night, and the time will basically not change in the future. It will be three updates at 8:00 p.m.!
