Adrian laughed: "Hahaha, well said, maester. We shouldn't give those guys the chance to look down on our Celtigar family." At this time, Sir Bandir walked in. Adrian said to him: "Modi, you came just in time. Come and take a look at this~" He said and threw the scroll in front of him on the table.

Sir Bandir picked up the scroll and looked at it carefully. Then he gently put it back on the table and said respectfully, "My Lord Earl, just follow my orders. My sword will always fight for you!"

Adrian was very satisfied with his attitude. He nodded and said, "Very good, Modi, don't go back yet. Come with me to Harrenhal. Maester, notify the knights under 40 years old. I will give them five days to gather at the ruins of Whispering Keep. Tell them that this time they must show the strength of the Celtigar family in front of the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms."

Wells: "Yes! Lord, I will obey your will. I will do it right away~"

Adrian patted Bandier's shoulder and said, "Modi, you will dine with me in the castle tonight. Balin will arrange dinner and prepare a room for Sir Bandier."

Bandil said: "Thank you, it is my honor to have dinner with you, my Lord."

Adrian then noticed his armor, and from the touch of his palm, he found that the rings of his mail were very fine. He praised it a few times: "Well, very good armor, the craftsman's craftsmanship is great!"

Bandier: "Thank you for your compliment, sir. I had this armor custom-made by Parker, the blacksmith in the castle. My lord, the blacksmiths under your command are much better than those in the towns."

Adrian seemed to be thinking about something. He said, "Oh, you reminded me. Balin, you must make preparations before traveling. You must make arrangements for the supplies, horses, vehicles, and accompanying personnel needed on the road. Especially the chef and the blacksmith. Oh, by the way, you must also bring the silk imported by Rees and the fine wine shipped from Qingting Island."

Balin said respectfully, "Yes, sir, please rest assured. I will make the arrangements myself. There will be no mistakes. I guarantee that you will be satisfied."

Soon, more than a dozen soldiers left the castle on horseback. They dispersed in different directions and went to various villages to convey the lord's orders. The entire castle began to operate, and many craftsmen and servants began to pack up.

In the blacksmith shop, Liu Yuan was still busy. He carefully assembled the parts, and the components gradually took shape in his hands, and a delicate hand crossbow appeared in front of him. When he finally tied the composite bowstring, the crossbow was ready. Pulleys were set on both sides of the crossbow arm to enhance the pulling force, and the pull rod was used to quickly string the crossbow. The slot above can be equipped with an arrow box, which can hold eight 15 cm long crossbow arrows at a time. The crossbow arrows are equipped with four-sided slotted arrows, which can stabilize the trajectory and have the ability to penetrate armor.

Liu Yuan fiddled with the crossbow. With his current physical condition, he could easily operate it with one hand. He sighed helplessly. This thing was just a bigger toy in the past, but now he needed it to save his life.

There were many objects that could be used as targets in the blacksmith shop. He found shields, breastplates, and helmets as targets. "Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~" This semi-automatic crossbow was very easy to operate. Liu Yuan could completely empty the quiver in ten seconds. It took two seconds to replace a new quiver and continue firing. The firing rate was satisfactory, comparable to a pistol. The typical power was not enough, but the quantity made up.

When Liu Yuan arrived at the target, the crossbow arrow was quite powerful, and could easily penetrate the arc-shaped iron helmet within 10 meters. According to Old Parker, this type of helmet is a common equipment for soldiers on the mainland. When it reaches a distance of 15 meters, the power will be greatly weakened. Basically, beyond 20 meters, the killing rate is very low. It can only be barely inserted into the shield and will be bounced off by the metal armor. But as a self-defense weapon, it is still good, and the important thing is that it can be folded and carried conveniently.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Liu Yuan walked over to open it. Standing outside the door was actually the butler Balin, who walked in. After looking around, he said, "Galon, why are you alone? Where is Old Parker?"

Liu Yuan shrugged and said, "Where else could he go? Of course he would go to the tavern. He completed Sir Bandier's order today and received a large sum of money. He left in the afternoon and probably won't be back tonight."

Balin looked Liu Yuan up and down. He was in good spirits and seemed to be stronger. He said, "Galon, you seem to be doing well. It seems that you are very suitable for the profession of blacksmith. Bulma will be very pleased if she sees this."

Liu Yuan asked, "Master Steward, you came to the blacksmith shop so late, but does the Lord have any instructions?"

Balin said, "The Earl has issued an order to lead a team to Harrenhal to participate in the tourney. We will set out in two days, and several craftsmen and apprentices in the castle will accompany you. When Old Parker comes back, tell him that there is a carriage specially allocated for you. Remember to bring all the necessary things. If you delay the Earl, he knows the consequences."

Liu Yuan: "Yes, butler, I have heard it clearly. When Old Parker comes back, I will tell him the truth. Is there anything else you need?"

Balin shook his head and turned away. Liu Yuan closed the door and began to think about what Balin had just said. 'Harrenhal' is such a familiar name, it seems like I have heard it somewhere, but I just can't remember it. (Liu Yuan was busy taking care of his children when he watched the American TV series Game of Thrones on Blue Star. He watched it sporadically and didn't finish it, and some plots were fast-forwarded. After so many years, he only has a vague memory, otherwise when he saw the golden dragon and the silver deer, he would be able to remember which world he was in.) Since he was going to go on a long journey, he naturally had to make some preparations. He folded the crossbow and put it in a special storage box. Then he returned to the forging room to continue processing a weapon that looked like a 'dagger', which was actually a slightly smaller lance. The appearance was similar to the six-sided Han sword, with three blood grooves on each side of a flat hexagon. After Liu Yuan's careful polishing, the tip and the edge were extremely sharp. Not only can it pierce, but it can also be used for close combat slashing. Just attach a short handle to make it a sword, and you can install wooden poles of different lengths to use it as a spear. If necessary, you can also throw it as a javelin, and its lethality is also amazing.

He believed that as long as the timing was right, he would have a chance to kill even a fully armed knight like Bandir. This was also the guarantee for him to survive in this world. Only by surviving could everything be possible.

It was not until the next morning that Old Parker staggered back to the blacksmith shop. Liu Yuan looked at the red marks on his face and neck. He knew what the old man had done yesterday. He poured him a pot of water and said, "Butler Balin came last night. It was the Earl who conveyed the order. He wanted to lead a team to Harrenhal to participate in a tournament. He wanted us to go together and allocated a carriage to us. You are asked to get ready. By the way, we will set off tomorrow. He also said that if you displease the Earl, you know the consequences yourself."

Old Parker paused while drinking water, as if he had some bad memories. Then he picked up the pitcher and poured the water over his head. He shook his wet head and cheered himself up a little: "Seven hells, why did you tell me now? Come on, Garlon! Don't sit still. We are leaving tomorrow. We have to pack up quickly. Bring all the necessary tools, and the small iron stove. Oh, damn! I have to bring my best materials too, so that one carriage can hold them all."
