No one knows King Arthur better than I do

Arturia was very pleasantly surprised.

She has intuition, she can judge that Carl is not lying.

"Yes, I can repair it—but you have to provide materials and money. If these are acceptable, I can repair this sword."

"no problem."

What Arturia lacked was never materials and money for sword repair, what she lacked was a craftsman who could help repair the Sword in the Stone.

and so.

While Merlin was bargaining with the fairy in the lake to cheat the wine, Arturia found a blacksmith who could repair the Sword in the Stone, and hurried back to gather materials and money, planning to let Karl start the work today.

And even if Merlin had the clairvoyance he could see now, he couldn't keep it open all the time.

Now he is holding the contract he wrote, and signed his name solemnly in front of the fairy in the lake.

"So, the contract is established~"

……

23. This Camelot can’t always keep trash~

Carl draws a lottery every day.

Although most of the time there are some ingredients, seeds, grains, seasonings and the like, but occasionally something different will come out.

For example, skills and some special props.

So Karl has not been completely disappointed with this lottery draw. So far, he has been praying every day that the new day's lottery draw will give him some good things.

"Shenguang stick, Shenguang stick, Shenguang stick!"

Karl, who has some kind of obsession with Ultraman's transforming device, kept praying, and then his lottery draw began today.

[Holy Sword Adaptability] (EX)

[As the name suggests, the adaptability to the holy sword, if you have the level of EX, you can control any holy sword]

I......

The last time there was a forging that could repair the holy sword, this time there was a forging of the holy sword...

To be reasonable, what I lack is the ability to maintain the holy sword and the ability to use the holy sword?

Do not!

What I need is a holy sword!

There is no holy sword, but the holy gun is also good!Even if you give me a holy shield, holy hammer... holy... holy kitchen knife is much better than nothing!

If it’s not possible, you don’t just give it to me, you can also give me a map where you can find the fairy in the lake. Since there are dragons in this superficial era, then the sword in the lake should also exist.

If you don't give it to me, I can find it myself.

Don't play this game with me!

With this thought in mind, Karl looked at the sword in the stone that was broken in two in front of him expressionlessly.

"Although this sword may not be considered a holy sword, it seems that there is nothing wrong with this sword except for the quality..."

Carl suddenly had a bold idea.

But the idea had just appeared before he threw it away.

"The problem last time was because the sword was broken. This time, the white dragon is probably still vigilant. Under such circumstances, it is really unwise to go to it with a sword that seems to be of defective quality. gone."

And it's King Arthur's sword.

He went to Saxon because he wanted to be the emperor of the land—if he passed by with his front foot, and the sword of King Arthur brought someone to the door with his back foot, it might not be as comfortable as living here.

Maybe this is the psychology of hamster people.

Compared with war, if Karl is the lord, he thinks he prefers farming.

"Boss, I brought the materials and money. How long do you think it will take to restore the sword?"

Just when Karl was a little distracted, the wooden door of the tavern was pushed open, and Artoria's figure in a small skirt walked in from the door.

The difference from before was that this time she was holding a big bag in her hand, which probably contained materials and money.

——Basically it’s all about money, but the materials don’t need that much.

Seeing Arturia's inconvenient appearance, Karl began to think about things like the bank.

But messy thoughts are basically fleeting.

He quickly took the bag from Artoria's hand, and then took out the materials used to restore the Sword in the Stone from the bag one by one, and placed them on the counter.

"The materials are enough. I don't think Miss Al will lie to me if it's money."

"Thank you for your trust—but boss, how long will it take to restore the Sword in the Stone?"

Hearing that Artoria asked again how long it would take to repair, Karl smiled slowly.

"It won't take long. If I come to fix it, it can be repaired today."

Although blacksmithing often takes a long time to temper, the skills given to Karl by the system contain the wisdom of blacksmiths of all ages. The combination of various skills makes Karl's blacksmith faster than ordinary blacksmiths. Not a lot.

It is precisely because of this that Karl temporarily closed his tavern today, and then brought Arturia to the side room in his backyard, and started the work of restoring the sword in the stone under her watch.

☆

Merlin cheated wine from the fairy in the lake last night, and got very drunk that night, and he still hasn't woken up yet.

Because of this, Merlin probably escaped a catastrophe.

Because Morgan is in the palace right now, he has summoned many nobles and ministers, and they are gathering together to talk about refined salt.

"Serve!"

Morgan sat in the main seat, clapped his hands, and then maids appeared from all directions, serving a steak to every nobleman and minister present.

Morgan's pinch timing was excellent.

It just so happened that the morning work came to an end and it was time for lunch.

Because Arturia would take work from herself when she had nothing to do, this group of nobles and ministers were actually not very busy.

"Your Highness Morgan, you invited us here, isn't it just for a meal?"

Some nobles looked at Morgan with strange eyes.

In their view, Morgan invited them over this time for a purpose.

As for the purpose—obviously, it goes without saying, they think it's probably because Merlin directly controlled Arthur to take over, so the orthodox heir of Camelot wants to do something.

Thinking of this, a terrible idea came to many people's minds.

——It’s not about rebellion, is it?

But in fact Morgan had no idea of ​​rebellion.

"The purpose is not just to treat you to a meal, but this meal is also very important-it has something to do with what I'm going to recommend to you next."

As Morgan said this, she also noticed that the expressions of these nobles and ministers were not right, so she quickly showed a smile as sweet as honey.

"After all, I didn't inherit the throne. In this case, I will inherit the position of the Duke. I usually have nothing to do, and I want to start some of my own property. Isn't this relying on the status of the royal family to sell products to everyone?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't buy it, it's good to know more about it."

Hearing what Morgan said, some people relaxed, while others were still surprised.

But by coincidence, they all picked up their knives and forks, and according to what Morgan said, they ate the steak in front of them.

It's nothing to be afraid of either.

After all, this is the royal palace, so could Morgan openly poison them here?

They put the cut meat into their mouths, and then a pure salty taste burst out in their mouths with the aroma of the meat.

Ok?

Not a bit bitter?

Because coarse salt in this era has a somewhat bitter taste, this group of nobles and ministers usually eat such things, and now they suddenly taste something that has no bitter taste, and they are somewhat surprised.

A large number of people ate it, and now they completely believed what Morgan just said.

There are also a small number of people who didn't eat it, they just thought it was delicious.

For Morgan, though, that was enough.

"Many people must have eaten it, so I won't hide it from you."

After the steak was eaten, Morgan asked the maid to serve something to drink, and while drinking, took out the refined salt Karl gave her, and passed it to the nobles and ministers present.

"There is no doubt that this is salt, but it is different from the coarse salt you eat today. This kind of salt that is as pure as clouds is what I call refined salt-this kind of salt is basically harmless to the body and has no bitter taste, everyone Adults should understand what I mean, right?"

Hearing what Morgan said, the nobles and ministers present all looked at each other.

Some people really want to buy it.

There are also some people who want to buy it because they want to show face to the royal family and the duke, Morgan.

There are also some people who see that most people are moved and feel that they have to be out of the group, so they want to buy it.

These nobles and ministers are relatively rich.

So Morgan had a slight smile on his mouth covered with folded hands when he saw their emotions.

——The wave in front of us is definitely not a long-term business.

——If you can make money this time, most of them will not buy this kind of refined salt at a high price next time.

——But as long as the price allocation is reasonable this time, then this time is enough to fill the economic vacancy here from the nobles and ministers.

As for later?

hehe~

In the future, refined salt will replace coarse salt as the main edible salt, so what if you are dissatisfied with me, Morgan?

Can you still bear to not eat refined salt in the future and continue to eat coarse salt?

In Carl's words, the refined salt business he does is called a monopoly!

It is difficult for them to influence themselves in business.

As for other places...

Thinking of this, there was a hint of sarcasm in Morgan's crescent-like eyes.

——These guys don't think that Artoria is a fool, and now they are rushing to do the work just because she wants to pay more for this country, right?

——Even if you think Artoria is a fool, don't think that Merlin is also a fool.

——When the time comes, you will be useless, and a round table meeting will be set up at Arturia... This Camelot can't always keep trash~

……

24. Merlin felt cold

"All right."

Carl held the sword in the stone and watched the repaired sword in the stone shining with silver light. Where the light passed, the inscriptions on it were perfectly restored.

"It's really fixed..."

Arturia really wanted to sigh with the Sword in the Stone, but she was also afraid that Karl would see something, so she just thanked Karl a few times, and then left with the Sword in the Stone.

Karl himself put the large bag of money she brought from Arturia under the bar, and then looked at the money that was complicated to pack and inconvenient to carry, and once again thought about the bank in his mind .

"Although it seems that it is unrealistic to get a savings card like in modern times, but it seems to be getting bank notes..."

I thought it was okay at first, but Carl suddenly thought of something.

At the moment, lambskin is basically used to record words here, bound into ancient books. In such a situation, there is no paper, and most people may not be able to read... So it seems that bank notes are not feasible.

If you want to make bank notes popular, you must at least popularize papermaking, and then popularize literacy...

"It's troublesome to think about it..."

Eh.
