The years when I was a nobleman in the world of Terra

But it's still too early to say these things. What Charlotte needs to do most now is to accumulate enough armed forces step by step.

Charlotte clearly remembered that W Sauce once told him that violence can solve most problems.At that time, Charlotte still naively felt that W Sauce's understanding was a bit problematic, but after experiencing more and more things, Charlotte began to understand that there was something wrong with the words of the Sarkaz girl. How right.

But it's not too late to know now, at least there is still enough time for him to recover.

"I'm really not a careerist."

Charlotte repeated her point again.

"If I have to say it, I'm probably just an ordinary person who wants to protect himself."

……

In the end, Maria still embarked on the journey to the blacksmith shop of the blacksmith's grandfather's house, not only with him, but also with Charlotte and his family.

Sitting on the carriage, Maria showed a hesitant expression more than once, but when she saw Charlotte staring at the scenery outside the car window with her chin resting on one hand, Maria never had the courage to ask what she wanted. If you want to ask.

"Little Charlotte, what are you thinking?"

W sauce's small head rested on Charlotte's shoulder.

"I always feel that you seem to be a little preoccupied."

"I'm actually fine."

Charlotte smiled lightly.

"I was just thinking about how to convince the veterans who have been out of the military for a while."

According to Manna, the "Grandpa Blacksmith" that Maria spoke of was once an attendant knight beside Margaret and Grandpa Maria, and also a very prestigious existence among the group of veterans dismissed by the Grand Duke. .

It can be said that as long as the old blacksmith can be persuaded, it is equivalent to convincing the vast majority of veterans.But could he really persuade the old blacksmith so smoothly? Charlotte was actually a little nervous in her heart.

The grandfather of Margaret and Maria, the former head of the Linguang family, if you just look at his life and deeds, this old man can be called a legend.

At that time, the Ursus army had already approached the city, and the morale of the Casimir army, which had suffered several consecutive defeats, was very low.It is foreseeable that as long as the Ursas launch another full-scale attack, it will be difficult for Casimir's knights to resist.

Once the border is missed, the Ursas can drive straight in. By that time, Casimir will not be far away from subjugation.

And at this critical moment, the old man with the blood of Tianma stood up, and the old man lit up the last remaining light on his body, and in the sky covered by dark clouds, a great light burst out.

As a witness of history, Charlotte didn't quite understand how the overwhelming light made the Ursus people terrified, and they finally retreated without a fight.

But the only thing he can be sure of is that the grandfather of Margaret and Maria is a hero, the great hero of all Casimirs.

But it was such a national hero who didn't get any due respect after his death.Not to mention the construction of an ancestral hall to be enshrined forever, even the deeds before his death were forcibly covered up by the Casimir royal family.

It is absolutely impossible for the older generation of Casimirs who experienced that war to forget the strong light that lit up the whole of Casimir, but for the younger generation of Casimirs, the richness of the old man Few people really know about the great achievements.

It is sad and deplorable for a generation of national heroes to be discarded by the Casimirs in the long river of history.

The lord who he swore to serve for life did not receive the treatment he deserved at all, and the old blacksmith himself was forcibly dismissed without receiving half a dime of severance pay.Charlotte put herself in the shoes of the old blacksmith himself, even if he didn't have to describe him as bitter and bitter, he probably wouldn't have the slightest affection for the nobles of Casimir.

"I hope that old blacksmith will drive me away the moment we don't meet each other."

Charlotte smiled helplessly.

"I still hope he will give me a chance to speak."

"Brother-in-law, don't worry, grandpa blacksmith may not have a good temper, but he is actually very nice."

After finally finding a suitable opportunity to join the conversation, Maria immediately spoke.

"And the blacksmith grandfather has liked my sister and me since he was a child. If the brother-in-law is, he will definitely love the house as well."

There was nothing wrong with what Maria said, but Charlotte was still a little worried.

"Mr. Charlotte, Maria is quite right."

Margaret also comforted Charlotte.

"Even until now, Grandpa Blacksmith has always regarded himself as a retainer of the Linguang family. As long as the Linguang family needs something, I think he will definitely not refuse."

"I hope so, and I hope things go well."

But what Charlotte wants to say is that after experiencing so many things, even though the old blacksmith considers himself a retainer of the Linguang family, he himself is very concerned about the land of Casimir and the ruler of this land. , Is there really such a thing as emotion?

Before seeing the person, Charlotte had no way to guess this question, so he could only try to make his expression as natural as possible, waiting for the next meeting with the old blacksmith.

The speed of the carriage was not particularly fast. After more than an hour, Charlotte and the others returned to the downtown area from the suburbs.

Led by Maria, the group of them detoured to a relatively remote alley in the downtown area.

"Is this an alley dedicated to the blacksmith business?"

Charlotte looked at the seven or eight blacksmith shops along the street, and asked casually.

"That's not true. There weren't so many blacksmith shops in the past. Only the blacksmith grandpa opened a shop in this box."

Maria replied.

"But I don't know what happened later. A group of businessmen also opened several blacksmith shops in the box, so it became what it is now."

Chapter 177 Chapter 170 Chapter [-] The One-eyed Old Blacksmith

Well, Charlotte didn't expect that everyone else had traveled to another world, Casimir, and they would encounter exactly the same things as before.

It seems that no matter which world you are in, the fact that businessmen seek profit will not change. Whenever you see someone earning money by doing a certain business somewhere, there will immediately be countless followers who want to take a share.

If one store is not enough, there will be two stores, and if two stores are not open enough, there will be three stores. Over time, there will be a situation where all the shops of the same type are concentrated on a certain street. They dragged their feet between them and entered a stage of involution ahead of schedule.

"Sure enough, this kind of thing will happen no matter which world it is in."

Charlotte muttered in a low voice.

"Maria, then, is your blacksmith grandfather still doing well in business?"

"If it was in the past, it must have been more than just passable."

Maria replied.

"Grandpa Blacksmith's forging skills are really excellent, so wandering knights who have not joined the fixed family all like to come to Grandpa Blacksmith to buy weapons and armor."

Maria's words paused here.

"But since the Grand Duke ordered that wandering knights are no longer allowed in Kasimir, Grandpa Blacksmith's business has declined a lot."

"what about this?"

Charlotte felt a little puzzled.

In Charlotte's understanding, those who specialize in a certain skill are probably the group of people who worry about no income in the world.Craftsmanship, the hand is before the craft, it means that the real kung fu of the craftsman is basically reflected in their hands.

Unless there is a completely superior substitute for the craft they specialize in, otherwise, the business should not be much worse.

As far as Charlotte knows, Casimir today is only an agricultural country rather than an industrialized country, and most of the weapons and armor must be made by blacksmiths.Even without the patronage of wandering knights, if the weapons and armor forged by Maria's blacksmith grandfather are good enough, there should be no worries about buyers, right?

"That's probably because the blacksmith grandfather is a person who likes to pursue the ultimate."

Maria sighed.

"He always told me that forging weapons and armor is like raising one's own children, which must be done with all your heart."

"What's wrong with that?"

Charlotte was still a little puzzled.

"This kind of craftsman spirit should be a rare and precious quality, right?"

"Keep improving is of course very good, but correspondingly, the price of the weapons and armor sold by Grandpa Blacksmith is much more expensive than the price of ordinary weapons and armor."

"Then take the high-end route, wouldn't it be good?"

Charlotte expressed her opinion.

"If you don't open for half a year, wouldn't it be good if you open for half a year?"

Just like those real estate sales in Charlotte's previous life, sometimes it may not be possible to sell a house in a month and a half, but if a house is really sold, then you can get a lot of bonuses.

"Brother-in-law, what you said was true in the past. After all, a few years ago, Casimir and Ursas would have some small frictions from time to time. But brother-in-law, times have changed. Casimir and Ursas It's been a peaceful coexistence for a long time."

Maria continued.

"Peace means that there will be no more wars, and no more wars means that the loss of weapons and armor will be greatly reduced. And the prices of weapons and armor sold by Grandpa Blacksmith are so high that no one will Willing to spend a lot of money to buy things that you don’t need.”

"Maria is right. Today's Casimir knights no longer need well-made weapons and armor."

Margaret took over what her sister said, and the expression and tone of the knight girl showed a little bit of embarrassment.

"Casimir and Ursus have been at peace for too long, so long that the knights have forgotten that there have been ten wars between these two countries."

"For the current Casimir knights, they no longer need armor that can help them resist sharp blades and crossbow arrows. They need more gorgeous and bright armor that can attract everyone's attention. and weapons."

"Walking on the battlefield dressed in fancy clothes, before launching a charge, he was shot into a porcupine by the enemy's archers, right?"

It was a somewhat low and hoarse voice.

Charlotte and the girls around her were startled for a moment, then they looked in the direction of the voice, and saw an old man with a blindfold on his right eye and a large hammer in his hand. Smiling watching them a group of people.

"Girl Maria, you are finally here."

The one-eyed old man said with a smile.

"Girl Margaret, you are finally home."

"Grandpa blacksmith!"

The two sisters of Linguang's family spoke in unison.

"long time no see."

"It's true that I haven't seen you for a while."

The one-eyed old man nodded with a smile.

"Especially you child, Maria, who has been missing for more than half a year. I almost thought you had left Casimir."

"I'm sorry, grandpa blacksmith, I made you feel unnecessary worries because of my personal reasons."

Margaret lowered her head slightly, expressing her apology.

"But after going home this time, I will never leave easily again."

"It's fine if you don't leave. At least I can see that you are still there. I can feel at ease. I don't have to worry all day long, worrying that I won't be able to fulfill the last words your grandfather left for me."

The one-eyed old man let out a breath.

"Let's not talk so much now, stop standing on the street, come in the store and talk about the next thing."

"By the way, Margaret, who are these people beside you?"

The one-eyed old man cast his curious eyes on Charlotte and the other girls.

"Is that Margaret your friend?"

"Grandpa blacksmith, that one over there is brother-in-law."

Maria explained in due course.

"Sister, brother-in-law, you call him brother-in-law?"

The one-eyed old man suddenly felt that he was hallucinating.

Once upon a time, he was worried about what to do with a steely straight girl like Margaret in order to meet her life partner.But the one-eyed old man never imagined that after not seeing each other for more than half a year, the child Margaret not only met his own life partner, but also heard Maria's name, Margaret and this gentleman, already married?

"Hello sir."

The tone of the one-eyed old man seemed a little hesitant.

"I don't know what to call you?"

"My name is Charlotte."

The one-eyed old man in front of him can be regarded as the elder of Maria and Margaret in a certain sense, so Charlotte will naturally not put on a superior posture.

"What Maria said is actually not entirely true. Margaret and I haven't held a wedding yet, so we can only be regarded as Margaret's fiancé for the time being."

The past lives of Casimir and Charlotte are still somewhat different.

In Charlotte's previous life, as long as you successfully completed the procedures at the marriage registration office, even if everyone disagreed, you and your lover were also legally protected couples.But in the land of Casimir, there is no marriage registration office. If you want to become a legal couple, you must take an oath under the witness of your parents, relatives and friends.

"Fiance, it's okay, it's okay."

The one-eyed old man breathed a sigh of relief.
