Warlords: Rise From the Land of Doom

Chapter 108: The Caravan Arrives

"I've seen your lord!" When Narant came to John's blacksmith's house, Pete was already waiting with the masons and carpenters.

"Well, get up!" Narant waved his hand towards the few people, his eyes falling on the newly built stove.

The stove was no different from what he had imagined.

However, most of the previous lives were brick kilns, but this one is made of loess and stones.

The whole furnace is rectangular, with a width of more than one meter and a length of about two meters.

As for the internal structure, except that the firebox is straight, the rest is similar to the firewood stove in the countryside in the previous life.

After all, a large pot needs to be placed above the firewood stove, so the mouth is small and the stomach is big, but this wrought iron stove does not need it.

The top layer of the stove is used to burn charcoal, the lower layer is used to store carbon ash, and a bellows air outlet is reserved at the inner end of the stove.

After the stove was finished, Narant looked at the waterwheel again.

At this time, the waterwheel has been installed, but the water flow is blocked by a large wooden board above, so the waterwheel is still in a static state at this time.

"John, please light a stove!" Narant instructed John, who was beside him.

"Yes, Lord!"

As a senior blacksmith, to be honest, this is the first time John has seen such a strange furnace.

In the past, the stoves were round and round, like a small wooden barrel.

However, although I have never tried a stove like this, I am still looking forward to this stove John.

Because from the shape of the stove, one thing he knew very well was that this stove must be more advantageous when calcining long irons.

For example, for calcining a long sword, a cylindrical furnace was used in the past, which was to insert the long sword directly, but this way, the heat problem alone cannot be observed with the naked eye, and it needs to be pulled out from time to time to check.

In addition, there is the problem of uniform heating. The long sword is inserted into the furnace, and the bottom of the sword tip must be higher than the end of the blade because it is buried deeply.

If it is not handled well at that time, it is easy for the long sword to be scrapped directly, or it is also a defective product when it is done well, and it is easy to break in the battle.

But this rectangular stove, as long as the long sword is placed flat on the charcoal fire, not only the temperature situation is clear at a glance, but also the temperature of the sword tip and blade can be heated evenly.

Thinking like this, John skillfully started lighting the fire immediately.

As the charcoal fire was lit, Narant commanded: "Let the water go!"

"Yes, my lord!" Pete Leather Boots immediately trotted to the edge of the stream and picked up the wooden board separating the water.

Whoa!

creak! creak!

As the water scours, the waterwheel slowly begins to spin.

After the waterwheel rotates, the horizontal shaft in the center drives a 'concave' horizontal shaft in front to start to rotate.

As the 'concave' wooden shaft rotates, the bellows rods fixed above also begin to be pulled up and down, back and forth.

snort!

snort!

Although the bellows was full of loopholes, there was still a large amount of wind that was sent to the stove.

"How is it, John!" Narant asked, looking at the rapidly burning charcoal in the stove and the pale red flame more than ten centimeters high.

"Lord Lord, wait a moment, the villain will give it a try!"

John Blacksmith immediately took out a forty-five centimeter long iron bar and put it on the stove.

As the flames in the stove scorched, it took only ten seconds before the iron bars became red as visible to the naked eye.

"It's fast! Lord, the effect of this stove is really good! Not only does it heat up quickly, but it also heats the iron embryo evenly!" John's face showed an extremely excited look.

To the blacksmith, this furnace was like a warrior who had obtained a sharp blade, and he couldn't help but be excited.

What's more, this stove does not require apprentices to pull the bellows, and it is the heart of John Blacksmith.

"Your majesty!" The carpenters and masons on the side were also stunned.

Of course, they were looking at a small waterwheel, which was used to automatically push and pull the bellows, which was something they had never heard of before.

Suddenly there was a trace of enlightenment in everyone's mind, as if a new door had been opened.

"Very good!" Narant nodded and smiled at everyone, and then continued: "Since you can, then John, you can speed up the progress, by the way, when you are free, you can replace the wooden shaft that pulls the bellows with Iron shaft, this should last longer!"

"Yes, Lord Lord! Lord Lord, you are the wisest nobleman John has ever seen!" John also revealed his true temperament at this time, and praised Narant with great sincerity.

"Yeah!" Nalanda nodded, then looked at the carpenter and the mason, "As for you, I'm going to build a mill in a few days, and I will also use this waterwheel to replace human and animal power. At that time, the size of the waterwheel will be this. More than ten times, you go back these days and prepare well!"

"When the mill is complete, there will be a reward of ten silver coins for everyone!"

"Thank you, Lord, for your generosity!" The mason and carpenter smiled happily upon hearing this.

"Ding! The system side quest to improve the work efficiency of the blacksmith shop has been completed, and the system reward has been issued!"

At the same time, a system sound came from Narant's mind.

"Hey, I got a little cutie!" Narant was overjoyed. "However, it seems that you haven't sent my third lucky daughter to me, have you?"

Narant complained at the system, and then walked out of John's house happily.

When he came to the square of Maiye Village and wanted to see the progress of the construction of the stone house, a guard ran towards the village entrance.

"Sir, there are several convoys on the road in the direction of Tulip, at least hundreds of people!"

"Oh? Could it be that the caravan sent by my father came?" Narant's eyes lit up, and there was basically no enemy coming from the direction of Tulip City.

"Come on, let's go and see!"

However, in order to make sure nothing goes wrong, Narant still rode on the Lightning and took the guards to check on one or two.

When Narant and the others arrived outside the castle, the convoy reported by the guards was already less than a mile away from them.

Narant stepped forward immediately.

"Master Narant!" When it was more than 100 meters away from the convoy in front, there was a sudden call from the convoy.

Nalande looked closely and saw that it was a man in his sixties. Although he was on his way, his silk dress and hair were meticulously groomed.

"Old Steward Ute!" The next moment, Narant searched for the old man's information from his memory. This was the castle steward under his father.

"Utter has seen Master Narant!" Soon, Utter came to Narant and gave Narant a respectful salute.

"Butler Ute, don't be too polite!" Narant got off his horse and helped Ute up.

This Ute has served as a housekeeper in Andrew Castle for thirty years. Although he is a servant, for the three Narant brothers and sisters, they are no different from their relatives and elders.

"I didn't expect that my father would send you Butler Ute this time!" Narant was also a little excited.

Of course, this is still because the memory of the original owner in the subconscious plays a certain factor.

Away from the family, a person can meet close people in this storm collar, the excitement is unimaginable in the 21st century in the previous life.

In an era when transportation and communications were backward, sometimes a goodbye might be a goodbye. Although the aristocracy was better, it was similar.
