Mount and Blade

Boring classes, a pile of scattered parts and gears, some wooden boards. The last homework was to make a small wooden wheel. Under the guidance of the instructor, Green finally clumsily assembled a horse-drawn geared wagon. Two wooden boards were added to the single wheel like arms, which were pushed forward by the rotation of the gears. It looked like the wheels of the train in the previous life. Such a horse-drawn wagon can be faster and more labor-saving. There is also a folding secret compartment to store valuables. There is also a four-legged bracket when docked, which is very convenient when you want to change horses. You can abandon the car and drive the horse to escape at any time. However, it is still as cumbersome as before to tie up the horse and pull the carriage.

"The horse-drawn wagon built by the country's greatest carpenter and mechanic, Willantor, saves a lot of time for the transportation of goods... He has brought good news to the people of Barkley."

"There are many more inventions about his inventions. I think you will learn more in future courses..."

After a morning of tedious studies, the good time of get out of class finally came. Green stretched his body. Although he understood the structure of this thing, the one Green made was too ugly. It could barely be called a car. Fortunately, he didn't design the gears. But I heard that next time I have to make various parts by hand according to the drawings. This is too painful for a hand-clumsy party. When Green thought of the future courses, he looked at the ceiling speechlessly.

On the other hand, the wooden wheels of the carriage of Fitnas were polished and shiny. A small piece of lead iron was placed on the carriage model, and the car ran fast on the table.

It's great... I really have a pair of skillful hands.

Green looked at him with some envy, and Fitnas seemed to have come back from his selfless scientific research at this time, and felt Green's gaze, and their eyes met.

"Uh..."

Fitnas' blue eyes suddenly became flustered, looking around, awkwardly grabbing the corner of his clothes and pretending to fiddle with the cart. His fair and tender face was obviously shy and pink, and even his ears were pink.

Green wanted to say hello with a smile on his face, but it froze on his face. Uh... How could there be such a shy boy? He touched his somewhat stiff face and was ready to walk over and say hello.

"The carriage you made is very beautiful, can I see it, Fitnas?"

Green squatted honestly beside Fitnas's table and carefully looked at his carriage, speaking in a tone that was as friendly as possible.

"...Yeah."

Fitnas shyly grabbed the corner of his clothes for a while before slowly nodding his head in agreement.

Green, who got the permission, picked up his cart and looked at it carefully. He fiddled with the gear in one of the wheels and it started to work smoothly. The other three wheels were also worked together. The baffles on the carriage and the hooks and traction in the gaps were also very clever. Even at high speed, the goods would not fall off.

"Amazing! Can you teach me how to polish this wooden wheel so smoothly?"

"Eh? Don't you know? The instructor talked about it a few days ago..."

"Really? I was out that day..."

.........

The relationship between the two gradually developed from a small carriage model to a topic. When it came to academics, Fitnas talked endlessly. He was very happy to teach Green about this because it was what he loved. The two went outside to get a few small pieces of wood. Then, Fitnas took his knife to smooth the surface of the wood, and placed a grinding stone on the cushion to polish it carefully.

"This needs to be trimmed along the wood grain... and then carefully polished..."

Fitnas sat on a small stool while repairing the wood block and explaining it to Green. When he mentioned this, his deep blue eyes were always staring intently, and he carefully observed the grain and roughness of the wood block.

Green also listened carefully and began to try to make it himself. The aroma of wood flowed on the tip of his nose. It seemed that these wood blocks had just been dried for a short time.

"What kind of wood is this?"

Green was a little curious. Green, who didn't often come into contact with these, couldn't recognize the material of these wood blocks at all.

"It's oak. You don't know, oak is produced in the forests north and west of Burns City. Almost all the oak in Barkley comes from Burns. They are strong and durable. They are high-quality wood. Whether it is a house or a weapon, it is needed."

Fitnas explained to Green while polishing the wood block. He loved the place where he lived, and it was also a very happy thing to tell these things to the partner he just made.

"I see."

The two polished the wooden parts and gears needed for tomorrow in the yard. Although Green, who was not very skilled, would accidentally prick his hand, he successfully completed it under the guidance of Fitnas, and it was finally not so ugly.

At dusk, the two packed up their small parts and walked back. After talking about the problem of gear components, the atmosphere became quiet again. Fitnas held his parts and lowered his head again, while Green played with the branches that had just grown on the roadside.

"I'm sorry... am I talking too much?"

Fitnas grabbed the corner of his clothes. The atmosphere that had finally become lively was made quiet again. He felt guilty and his face was pink. He was probably angry with himself.

"Ah? How could it be? I think you are very attractive like this, Fitnas."

Green looked at his red ears and laughed. He couldn't help pinching the edge of his ears twice. It was a little hot. He was really an introverted and shy child.

Very charming...

Feeling the cold and mischievous little hand of his partner next to him, Fietnas' face instantly became a cooked shrimp. He almost screamed and moved to the side.

"Huh?!! No... No!"

Very charming... No! No one has ever praised me like this...

"Hahahaha, I'm serious, be more confident, Fietnas."

"Well, I'm glad you don't hate me..."

"Hahaha, just be yourself, Fietnas..."

The two children walked side by side in the sunset. Is the friendship between the teenagers a destined path? The story of the two kings will unfold on the land of Barkley.

And can the two children of destiny chosen by their respective goddesses overcome all obstacles and return peace to this world? The land in the far south has been shrouded in black fog, and as the magic fog covers the world... the concentration of magic power in the world is about to rise to a level where creatures from the abyss can come, and the era of heroes in ancient legends is about to arrive...
