Blacksmith Shop
In addition to this declaration of relinquishment of ownership of the iron mine, Baron Stan's letter also included another letter.
This letter came from Countess Lindsay Monroe, Doug Forbes's nominal Earl.
In her letter, she used cryptic language to instruct Baron Stan to find a way to suppress the development of Hope Town.
She also made a grand promise to Baron Stan, claiming that if Baron Stan could fulfill her demands, she would reward Baron Stan with unimaginable riches.
"Baron Stan is quite the shrewd fellow..."
Chen Changhe muttered to himself.
Knowing he couldn't suppress the development of Hope Town, he simply told him everything.
At the same time, she also put this difficult problem on her own, leaving herself to face the pressure from Earl Lindsay Monroe. She really played her cards right.
"Earl Lindsay Monroe..."
The mere thought of this name Chen Changhe brought to mind the exceptionally beautiful woman in Doug Forbes's memory.
Although decades have passed, it is said that Earl Lindsay Monroe has a special constitution and still retains her youthful appearance.
"If you don't want to mess with me, then fine."
"If you mess with me..."
A wicked glint appeared in Chen Changhe's eyes.
He could no longer hold back. He put down the documents in his hand, got up, and went to Cleo's room.
Her right leg was gracefully extended, adorned with an exquisitely crafted leg ring, its delicate and shimmering pattern intricately edged with gold thread.
The leg rings are also decorated with extremely ornate and intricate patterns, which shimmer with a captivating luster under the light.
The right leg lightly touched the ground, as if each touch carried a unique rhythm.
The enormous, fluffy white rabbit that filled the field of vision descended slowly like a soft cloud, its ripples gently spreading outwards.
At the same time, her long, waterfall-like hair cascaded down freely, each strand seemingly possessing its own unique movement. The ends of her hair swayed gently in the breeze, adding to her mysterious and captivating aura.
Compared to when she first arrived at the castle, Cleo had clearly blossomed into a more mature and stunningly beautiful woman.
Of course, this is inseparable from Chen Changhe's meticulous guidance and training during this period.
Compared to human girls, the cat-eared girl Cleo possesses a unique charm and allure.
Chen Changhe was certainly not a gentleman.
Cleo is now a perfectly qualified personal maid to him.
Strictly speaking, Cleo isn't Beastfolk, but rather a Demi-humans.
Her mother was a pure-blooded Catfolk Beastfolk, but her father was a merchant from a Human Kingdom.
After a night of passion, her mother became pregnant and gave birth to her.
That's why she has far fewer Beastfolk features than a real Beastfolk.
For this very reason, she was despised by the Felinids Beastfolk in the tribe from a young age.
The days she spent as Chen Changhe's maid were the happiest days of her life.
After spending time with Cleo, Chen Changhe left the castle, his destination being the only blacksmith shop in Hope Town.
If Chen Changhe were to say what he was most satisfied with about Hope Town, it would undoubtedly be this blacksmith shop.
When Chen Changhe arrived at the blacksmith shop, the furnace had not yet been lit, and the apprentices were still busy cleaning and preparing.
They were wiping their tools or sweeping the dust off the floor, methodically preparing for the busy day that was about to begin.
Fernando is the only blacksmith in the blacksmith shop.
Now in his forties, Fernando is a very skilled blacksmith.
Besides being able to make everyday utensils such as pots, knives, and shovels, he can also forge some iron weapons and armor.
He has loved blacksmithing since he was a child. The feeling of turning a hard block of iron into various practical objects under high temperature and hammering is a great enjoyment for him.
He started as an apprentice at the age of 10 and has been a blacksmith for over 30 years.
His more than 30 years of blacksmithing career have allowed him to accumulate rich experience and superb skills.
He had an intimate knowledge of the properties of iron, and his hands were covered in calluses, marks left by the years and testament to his superb skills.
Baron Stan had repeatedly invited him to settle in Bluetooth Town, but Fernando declined.
This is his hometown; his family has been blacksmiths in Hope Town since his grandfather's generation.
Fernando now has three apprentices, one of whom is his son, and the other two are children of other residents of Hope Town.
Compared to farmers and miners, the identity of a blacksmith is undoubtedly more respectable.
Fernando spotted Chen Changhe from a great distance and quickly went to greet him.
"Good morning, my lord!"
His eyes were full of respect, and he bowed slightly, as if expressing his deepest respect to Chen Changhe.
Anyone familiar with Fernando would be quite surprised to see this.
Fernando usually focuses on his blacksmithing work and never spends much time on interpersonal relationships, nor does he show any particular flattery or obsequiousness to others.
He usually immerses himself in his blacksmithing world, keeping company with iron blocks and furnace fire.
In the past, when Baron Stan came to visit him, he wouldn't even raise his head, just busy with his blacksmithing work, completely ignoring Baron Stan, let alone greeting and greeting him with such respect as he does now.
Good morning, Fernando.
Chen Changhe greeted Fernando with a smile.
He had a good impression of Fernando.
Although he is a bit stubborn, he is down-to-earth, hardworking, extremely responsible, and possesses superb skills.
How could he not like such subjects?
"Are we still making parts for Mechanical Arm today?"
"Fernando asked."
Before this, Chen Changhe had specifically taught Fernando how to read the scale diagrams of the components, so that he could build the parts according to the design drawings.
He could delegate most of the work of building the Mechanical Arm to Fernando and his apprentices.
He only needs to be responsible for the final assembly and the infusion of waaaaagh power.
This approach significantly improved Chen Changhe's work efficiency.
In order to enable Fernando and his team to complete their work better, Chen Changhe specially designed Mechanical Arm for blacksmiths.
This Mechanical Arm can assist blacksmiths in performing more precise forging operations, reducing their physical burden and improving work efficiency.
It can flexibly grab and move various iron blocks, tools, etc., and can operate stably in high-temperature environments, helping blacksmiths easily complete some difficult blacksmithing tasks.
Since being equipped with Mechanical Arm specifically designed for blacksmiths, Fernando's work efficiency has increased dramatically, and he can now easily complete manufacturing processes that were previously difficult to achieve.
"That's right, it will be made according to the design I gave you yesterday."
Fifteen more copies of each part will be made. During the manufacturing process, meticulous attention must be paid to dimensional accuracy and quality; there can be no room for carelessness. Every detail must be strictly controlled to ensure that these parts fit perfectly.
Chen Changhe gave Fernando earnest instructions.
