Deepwood Motte, North Keep Yard.
While the Steel Fist Company washed up, Garon headed briskly toward the workshop near the hill.
This workshop had been built especially for Maester Beckman.
After becoming lord of Deepwood Motte half a year ago, Maester Beckman had sworn his allegiance to Garon again.
The two had begun dealing with the affairs of Deepwood Motte frequently.
During that time, Garon learned that Maester Beckman was well versed in military science and medicine.
He also had unique insights into the study of weapons.
In his previous life, Garon had frequented weapons forums and spent years arguing with people.
He had even been debating the merits of Qing bows and English longbows right before he was transported here, so his theoretical knowledge was quite extensive.
Under the circumstances, the two naturally had plenty to talk about.
Deepwood Motte lay in the Wolfswood, so almost everyone who lived there was an excellent archer.
That was why they talked about bows and arrows more than anything else.
From Maester Beckman, Garon learned that bows on the continent of Westeros were generally made from materials such as yew, weirwood, Goldenheart, and Dragonbone.
Each material had its own strengths and weaknesses, but yew longbows were by far the most common.
The longbows of Westeros were similar to English longbows: they fired quickly and had a long range.
But Garon had seen all kinds of bows renowned throughout history in his previous life. He knew that even English longbows could be improved.
So he came up with the idea of having Maester Beckman improve the longbow.
If we can improve the longbow, then combine it with the naturally gifted archers of Deepwood Motte, I'll have a trump card in my hands.
