Chapter 116 After Leather Armor
Kate left, Salil walked into the cabin and found Lawrence.
Salil asked: "What's Kate doing here?"
"Invite us to deal with the Ug people." Lawrence and Seravan carried the board upstairs together, and said: "Tomorrow you and I and Sophia, Regloro Go there with her two men."
Lawrence smiled and said: "Regloro should be very willing to repay the Ug people who bullied her."
Salil nodded, "Then I will prepare, last time I cut the pig The ax behind the bone has not been polished."
Lawrence suggested: "In the future, separate combat and daily weapons, and don't use cooking tools to fight."
Salil did not listen to everything, and retorted: "I think It's nothing, don't you also use a hoe to work and fight?"
Lawrence didn't understand Salil's little family mentality, "I'll give you a kitchen knife for cutting vegetables and a big knife for cutting bones after a while." "
Really "Is it?" Sariel looked at Lawrence happily, "Okay, then I will use that ax to fight in the future, and use a new kitchen knife when cooking."
Lawrence had already had the idea of smelting iron, and when Doug took the people After setting off, the blacksmith's place will be quiet, and it won't be difficult to borrow a blacksmith's furnace.
Whether it is the manor or the town, the demand for iron tools is very high. If enough slaves are obtained, the excess manpower can be allocated to mining and iron smelting.
The price is that food consumption will be much faster. At that time, you need to use food to exchange for more dried meat from the Cloda people.
Lawrence did not continue to discuss the battle and asked: "What's for lunch today?"
Salil was very relaxed when she heard the topic, "Cale cabbage soup, smoked duck, grilled catfish with black berries, berry bread."
Lawrence quickly Said: "Then get ready to eat. Seravin and Idi will work together in the afternoon. Idi is not going back today. Those people down the mountain will be very lively after drinking tonight." Idi said gratefully: "Thank you
. You, kind master."
Seravan also said: "Master... I... I may be able to help you fight."
Seravan has lost a lot because of his previous avoidance of fighting, and now he wants to wash away his past. mistake.
Lawrence comforted: "It doesn't matter, there will be a chance next time. Tomorrow you can continue working with them at home and make two more shacks for people to live in temporarily. "I
will probably bring back five slaves, and if there are more, I may Can't see it.
Seravan solemnly agreed: "Yes, master. " "
Lawrence quickly went out to eat, leaving Seravan and Itty alone.
The Shepherdess has a better temper, and the three of them are slaves who have been working for a lifetime, so living together is actually more acceptable than normal people.
Lawrence went back to the house During the meal, Regloo was called over to enjoy a hearty vegetable and broth barbecue.
Regloo didn’t eat with Lawrence every day, but Lawrence would ask her to come over and eat together every few days.
Loyalty and trust are such things. If you don't rely on family status to maintain it, you need extra care and benefits.
Being able to eat with the master is a recognition of Regloo's identity.
Regloro thinks that he is different from the cowardly slave like Seravan. They are loyal subordinates who manage the slaves on behalf of their masters.
"Reglo, tomorrow we will go and deal with the Ug people with the Pumi Xiu people. Do you know how many warriors there are in the Ug people? "
Reglo grabbed the bread in his hand and kneaded the fluffy bread with pea flour into dough.
"I know! "Reglo's eyes were full of revengeful anger, "There are about thirty of them who can fight, and the rest are women, old people and children. "
Lawrence found that this number was higher than expected.
There are thirty warriors among more than a hundred people, so the number of women must be more than thirty or forty. Adding in children and the elderly, this ratio is quite strong.
But he quickly changed his mind . , Lawrence found that this ratio is not too outrageous, because there are not many old people among the Pumixiu people. In the culture of barbarians, there is no such thing as caring for the elderly. People should die when they get old. Except for wizards who are more respected as they get older
.
Like Once the leader becomes old and weak, there will be young and strong people below who will not obey the discipline.
"You take those two men with me. Tomorrow we will meet at the foot of the mountain, and then we will go to the Ug tribe together. "
After dinner, go and rest to warm up. Sharpen your ax and repair your shield. Don't bother your two followers." Lawrence
made a suggestion to Reglo.
Reglo quickly said: "Yes, master." "
After deciding to fight the Ug people with the Pumixiu people, the Lawrence family of three began to prepare weapons and leather armor.
Sophia squatted aside sharpening the dagger, and Salil and Reglo told her how to use the dagger and shield.
Lawrence Not good at using an axe, he didn’t bring a hoe this time. He had a better bow and arrows, and was making arrowheads and wooden nails at this time. While
sitting on a stool to sharpen the axe, Salil complained: "Doug only knows how to use it every time." Give us food and livestock, and the best trophies from a large wild boar are its skins and teeth.
"If we had leather armor made of large boar skins, the Ug's weapons would not be able to cut through our bodies. " "
Lawrence has become accustomed to Salil's nagging.
In fact, Salil is a talkative girl. She was not familiar with Lawrence at first, so she seemed a little cold.
In fact, she could chat with Sophia and Emma. I’m very happy to have a big mouth that can spread news.
After getting to know Lawrence, I always like to say what I want to say, and often don’t want to use my brain.
“That’s right. Lawrence felt that Salil was right, "Boar leather armor is strong and lightweight. It is more convenient than iron and safer than cloth armor."
Salil continued: "Not all wild boar skins are suitable for leather armor. Big wild boar skin is the best. My father has leather armor made of big wild boar. I told you, that thing is really strong. " ! "
Lawrence recalled that Andrew did take his sword and leather armor with him when he left.
"Oh, Andrew also had a boar leather armor. I thought he brought a change of clothes and shoes. "
Salil showed a surprised expression, realizing that she had never told Lawrence about this kind of thing.
"No! I remember it very clearly! I told you! "Salil looked at Lawrence with certainty, "I told you before, you are a real hunter only when you kill a wild boar! "
Lawrence said: "I knew that Andrew had shot a wild boar, but I didn't know that he had the leather armor of a big wild boar.
"Isn't that certain? " "Salil simply couldn't understand Lawrence's mind, "After hunting a wild boar, you must peel off the skin of the big wild boar and make it into leather armor!
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know now. " "Lawrence said he understood and continued to work and prepare.
Salil also quickly ignored this matter. She kept working and talking about all kinds of strange things in and outside the village.
Sometimes these messages are important, but most of the time they are useless.
After half a day's rest and preparation, the next day Lawrence brought Salil, Sophia, Reglo and two other barbarians to the outside of Andrew's hut.
Under the respectful eyes of all the savages, Lawrence walked into the house and saw Doug.
Lawrence first saw the gray leather armor covering Doug's body and was filled with envy.
Doug saw the bow and arrow Lawrence was carrying, and his wound hurt slightly.
