"Take out all the Sea Pattern Magic Iron fish spears, leave twenty, the rest melt them down."
Luo De instructed, "I need to forge arrowheads and spearheads."
Sea Pattern Magic Steel combined with the effect of the finely forged edge is the strongest weapon in Black Pine Ridge.
If the giant crab can still hold up, then Luo De will have to rely on himself, using the Dragonbone Longbow to wear the crab down to death.
No matter what, Luo De definitely will not give up this seaport.
Hammer heard Luo Deās instructions and visibly paused, lowering his head cautiously,
"Lord, that fish spear is about eight hundred pounds... it canāt be made into spearheads and arrowheads..."
Hammerās tone carried some reluctance, "And also, didnāt you say the Sea Pattern Magic Iron is precious, meant to equip your elite?"
"Very good, Hammer, I like your frugal attitude."
Luo De patted Hammer on the shoulder, "But itās okay, you can proceed with normal smelting, if you canāt use it, make armor."
Having discovered a new Sea Pattern Magic Iron mine, Luo De doesnāt need to be stingy.
"Ah?" Hammer paused again.
"Follow the orders, youāll understand in the future."
"Alright then, lord."
Hammer nodded solemnly, calling a few apprentices to start the work.
Luo De has many tasks at hand.
Not only does he need to forge arrowheads and spearheads, but he also needs to test the Sea Pattern Magic Steel formed under different energies to find out which is more suitable for making armor.
The four elements plus Shadow Energy, after testing, the Sea Pattern Magic Steel fused with the Power of the Earth had the highest strength.
Fernie also had additional duties, responsible for infusing energy while Bain smelted the Sea Pattern Magic Iron.
As for the arrowheads and spearheads used for hunting the giant crab, they naturally were infused with Luo Deās Flame Energy.
Luo De didnāt rest at all, busy all day long, and only dragged his heavy steps into the manor by evening.
Luo De, devoid of any noble demeanor, slumped into a high-backed wooden chair, leaning against the backrest, not even wanting to move a finger.
Avril entered the hall immediately.
"Tired, arenāt you?"
Luo De didnāt reply, just nodded slightly.
He had been hammering metal all day, truly exhausted.
Avril looked at Luo De, tired and worn out, standing behind him, gently massaging his shoulders with her fingers.
"I asked Leia to prepare some hot water, do you want a bath first or dinner?"
"Donāt wanna move." Luo De squinted his eyes.
"After a busy day, you should at least eat something, right?"
Avril spoke with a smile, her voice gentle, as though coaxing a child,
"You donāt have to lift a finger, Vivian and I will serve you, weāll help you wash after you eat."
After speaking, seeing Luo De didnāt refuse, Avril signaled to Leia with a wave.
Leia understood, nodded in response, and walked out.
Avril and Vivian walked Luo De, one on each side, to the dining room and sat him down.
Then, the servants brought in grilled meats, stewed dishes, bread, and fruits one by one.
Vivian sat next to Luo De, cutting the grilled meat into small pieces, and also sliced the bread, spreading jam on it.
"Have some soup first."
Avril ladled a spoonful of soup with a bright smile and brought it to Luo Deās mouth.
Luo De simply pulled at the corner of his mouth, opening his mouth to let the fragrant meat soup enter.
Then Luo De stretched lazily, sitting up straight,
"Forget it, Iāll do it myself."
Luo De was still unaccustomed to being fed mouthful by mouthful while eating, so he took the wooden bowl to ladle some soup and gurgled down half of it in one go.
After finishing the soup, he took over the sandwich Vivian had prepared, and started eating it in large bites.
"Is it really a seaport?"
Avrilās eyes sparkled as she gazed directly at Luo De.
"Mm."
Luo De didnāt lift his head as he swallowed the sandwich and drank some soup to wash it down,
"Pretty much confirmed. Youāll be able to eat seafood in the future."
"Thatās wonderful!"
Avril pursed her lips, unable to suppress the grin on her face, she clenched her small fists and started gently pounding Luo Deās leg.
"Does that mean weāll be able to see the sea?"
"Mm."
Luo De nodded slightly.
"Ah, thatās fantastic!"
Avril grabbed Luo Deās face, not caring about the bread crumbs at the corners of his mouth, gave a firm kiss before letting go,
"Dear, youāre amazing, Iāve never seen the sea before!"
"Pure luck, Iāve never seen it either, weāll go together."
Though Luo De had seen the sea in his previous life, he hadnāt in this one yet.
The Tulip Clan wasnāt close to the coast, and as a bastard child, Luo De naturally hadnāt had the chance to see the sea.
"That giant crab, still hasnāt figured it out."
"Wait for me!"
Avril rose quickly, jogged to the bedroom, and soon returned with a tome,
"I found some information."
"The giant crab could be one of three types."
Avril explained, "Coral Giant Crab, Mutant Spider Crab, Common Giant Crab."
"Coral Giant Crabs usually reside in deep seas, probably not it."
Avril flipped through the tome, explaining to Luo De one by one, "Mutant Spider Crab, itās a divine modification creature, rarely appears, and doesnāt dwell by the sea."
"The Common Giant Crab is most likely, and itās relatively easy to deal with."
Avril turned to the appendix at the back of the book, where a sketched crab was prominent,
"The Giant Crab is a common sea crab mutation, of various types, with no magic abilities, just like ordinary beasts, the weakness is underbelly, or breaking through its shell can kill it."
"Mm, thatās what I thought." Luo De nodded.
"But be cautious, there could be more than one giant crab, maybe two or three."
Avril reminded.
"Mm, Iāll keep that in mind."
Luo De closed the tome, "Finish your meal, then weāll wash together."
Avril nodded, set her chair back and returned to her seat.
