In the Age of Heroes, I am a background noble

Although he also felt that giving money was meaningless, this was Lord Green's decision, so he had to support it to the end.

Faced with Kaiar's attack, most of the officers just snorted coldly and pretended not to see it. Recently, everyone knew that Kaiar had been reused. He was promoted directly from a middle-level cadre to a favorite of the count, which was considered to be the top level.

But some officers remained fearless. Hadn't they recently acquired special healing abilities? They were likely captains of the military, or officers of the same or lower rank. They disliked guys like Kaiyal who hadn't risen through the ranks.

The man with gold teeth slammed the table. He looked down upon Kaiyal the most.

"Fuck, the Count allowed us to speak freely, Kaiyal, why are you making such a fuss?"

Several other fearless officers had similar attitudes, and some were even fanning the flames for fun.

"That's right! Why are you so arrogant? Let's fight if you dare!"

"Kayal! Don't lose points for us!"

"Come on, come on!"

Damn, why is it still the same process? Green felt a headache. These guys really don’t change their bad habits.

Can you really win a fight?

The officers in his group were all around level ten, and had just awakened the knight's exclusive life seed. They could gain fighting spirit through breathing techniques. The slightly stronger ones were at most 14.15 or 17, and the strongest one was only .

But now Kaiar's combat effectiveness has soared. If he doesn't care about his life and his comprehensive combat effectiveness reaches the tactical level, how can he win?

"Shut up!" Green slammed his foot on the table. Who told these guys to only think about fighting? "Are you trying to kill me with all the noise? If you want to fight, do it in private. Don't bother me here with your noise."

The scene became quiet, and several senior executives glared at each other tacitly, confirming that they would go to fight later. Kaiyal was now rubbing his hands in preparation, he had long wanted to beat up these guys, and he also wanted to experience the plot of Thirty Years in the East.

"Rudeus, do you have anything to say?"

Suddenly, Green turned the conversation to Rudeus, who was pretending to be mute and playing with his metal arm. The young man was no longer as high-spirited as before, and looked much more mature.

He was wearing a clean gray scholar's suit and seemed to be accustomed to the officers' frequent fights. He had basically integrated into the Medici territory. After staying at the border for a while, he was still summoned to attend this meeting.

He seemed a little surprised to hear the lord's summons, but after thinking for a while, he pushed the chair away and stood up.

"I don't have any suggestions for now, Your Excellency." The young man bowed slightly to indicate that he had no suggestions.

Green sighed. It has only been a short time and the young guy has become a veteran. It's really sad.

But this is also a good thing, which shows that he has grown a lot.

If you're blacksmithing, can a power hammer greatly speed up weapon crafting?

Chapter 56 Assembly Line Weapons, Invite Brother Killer

Tsk, it’s not easy to fool.

Even if loyalty is instilled in one, one's character and patterns cannot be changed. It seems that the demihuman incident had a great impact on him.

This is a good thing for him. The more Rudius grows, the more reliable his subordinates are. His previous innocent look was really unreliable, but it is not good to grow up too much, mainly because it is not easy to fool him.

Although the concept of loyalty has been implanted in him, this only means that Rudius will not betray Green and will be loyal to the territory, but it does not mean that he will become a madman like Kaiar who doesn't care about himself.

Moreover, Rudius has not had an easy time recently. Many people have been sarcastic towards him. You know, when he first became the sheriff, he received many invitations.

The young man didn't offer any suggestions, but continued without stopping, "But I want to say one thing. Lord Earl, didn't you ask me to take charge of the R&D department recently?"

R&D department?

The other people looked puzzled and asked, "Do we have such a department in our territory?"

The R&D department sounds like something for scholars. There don't seem to be many scholars in our territory. Are there really people in this department?

"Yes, have you found anything?" Green looked at the boy with interest. He originally just wanted to let this guy explore his imagination in the context of being a time traveler. Fearing that this guy would have nothing to do, he also gave the boy some tasks. He didn't expect that he actually completed them.

So there really is something there.

"Yes, actually I am a magic device maker. Recently, I was lucky enough to create a machine that can automatically hammer iron blocks."

"Its main function is to replace blacksmiths in forging weapons. With it, blacksmiths can greatly save physical energy and increase their daily forging output."

Oh?

Stamping machine?

Green's eyes lit up, that's great!

He knew this thing. He had seen it himself during the sword-forging competition. Could a magic device be so free?

Isn't this thing beyond the scope? He thought about it carefully and it wasn't completely impossible. The magical devices in the other world were indeed quite amazing, such as Rudeus's metal arm. He really couldn't understand how this thing could be used as a prosthetic body like in cyberpunk.

The only pity is that it might be a problem with the world's rules. Green tried to make firearms but failed. He clearly remembered the formula that time travelers must learn: one carbon, two nitrates, and three sulfurs.

"And I've discovered a problem. There are too few blacksmiths in the territory, and they simply can't meet the territory's needs. So I came up with a solution." Under everyone's curious gaze, Rudeus shared his discovery, "This can alleviate the problem."

"It takes too long to train a mature craftsman. We simply don't have enough time to train so many craftsmen to meet the needs of the territory. The traditional forging model is already a bit outdated."

"I suggest that apprentices no longer need to develop all aspects of their skills. Instead, the weapon forging process can be divided into several steps, and apprentices only need to learn one of the steps."

Then this guy said a lot of professional terms, which he probably learned from his recent investigation.

Then this guy started talking about a bunch of professional terms. Many illiterate people didn't understand what they meant, but they instinctively opposed this kind of innovation. Moreover, they didn't understand the things, but they responded with a bunch of reasons from the young man, making it impossible for them to refute.

But Green could hear that this guy wanted to do assembly line work!

To say that assembly line operation is a bit advanced is to say that it is division of labor and cooperation. The training of apprentices no longer requires so much time, and they only need to learn one process.

Green knew that in addition to improving production efficiency, the most important thing about assembly line operations was repetitive actions and processes. People are much more efficient when they focus on one thing.

A professional blacksmith needs to learn each step one by one. Only when he has learned all of them can he be considered a qualified blacksmith. To become an excellent blacksmith, it takes time to hone his skills, which takes too much time.

Oh shit, how could I forget?

Green had to admit that he had traveled through time for too long, which caused some of his innovative thinking to regress. Of course, this might also be because he had been a college student for four years before traveling through time.

If I had known earlier that he would go and look for the truck that could travel through another world in his senior year of high school, I would have been better able to use my brain then.

"So awesome." The Shield Hero Naofumi Iwamine, who hadn't spoken for a long time and was sitting in the front row, scratched his long hair. To be honest, he had some ideas, but they were far inferior to those of the genius magician who had caused trouble some time ago.

Although he is a Japanese high school student, he also knows that the assembly line was thought up by a native.

Something doesn't seem right. Now that I think about it, Rudeus's way of speaking is sometimes a little wrong, and his way of thinking is a little different from that of ordinary people.

Finally, he discovered the blind man, and finally seemed to realize that something was wrong with Rubadius.

Could he be a time traveler too? Besides the brave, there are other time travelers!

Iwamine Naofumi suddenly woke up. It seemed to be true. Considering some of his memories during this period, Rudeus was probably a time traveler. The only uncertainty was which country he was from.

If this were true, why didn't he acknowledge me? Was he afraid I'd let it slip? And if I told anyone about my time travel, how would my parents react? Wouldn't everyone else be a little confused?

Yes, I have to talk to him after the meeting.

Naofumi Iwamine didn't want to contact the other three heroes at all. He would never forgive those guys who harmed him without thinking, but he actually still hoped to have fellow countrymen to accompany him. This is what most time travelers hope for.

Except for Green, he hopes that none of his fellow countrymen from China will travel through time.

With a thought in his mind, Naofumi Iwamine made a decision in his heart.

"What's wrong, Shangwen? Do you have any ideas?" Green raised his eyebrows and put down his crossed legs. This posture was indeed not very elegant, and the most important thing was that the table was too high. "If you have any ideas, you can speak freely."

Just now, the Shield Hero slammed the table, and people who didn't know thought something was wrong with him.

"Does Lord Iwamine Naofumi have any suggestions?" Rudeus, interrupted, smiled at his fellow villager. He was quite interested in this companion. "Feel free to ask."

"I don't have any opinion. I think it's pretty good." Naofumi Iwamine looked around and found that he seemed unable to control himself. He smiled awkwardly and sat up straight.

Forget it. There’s still a lot of time and we’ll have plenty of opportunities to talk about this later.

Tonight he promised his slave, a bear girl, that he would go back early and ask the pastry chef in the lord's mansion to make a cake.

"No comments, right?

"Since no one has other opinions, I approve it. Next, I will announce another appointment. The adventurer Goblin Slayer will serve as the president of the Territory Adventurer's Association and will also serve as the sheriff of Lonely Mountain City."

Goblin Slayer, who was invited to the council and was sitting at the end, still looked out of place in his heavy armor and looked up in confusion. Does he have anything to do with himself?

Chapter 57: Fooling the Honest Man

Under the envious or surprised gazes of many people, Goblin Slayer stood up without hesitation and rejected the proposal in a resounding tone.

"I refuse, my Lord."

"I only hope to accept the commission to kill goblins. I don't want to get involved in other matters."

A single stone caused a thousand ripples, and many people looked at him sideways, wondering if this guy was stupid.

The Gushan County Flag will be the center of the Umbellishment Territory in the future. Being the sheriff (of the seven cities) is definitely a high-level position. From an adventurer in District N to a high-level manager of the Medichimeng family, isn't this a clear class leap? And it's a leap of several levels.

Is this guy out of his mind?

Being a high-ranking official in a noble family has no more prospects than being an adventurer?

Of course, this rejection was within Green's expectations. He had heard that this guy had no manners when he came to the territory. He had been here for so long and didn't have many close friends. The most he had was a goblin-killing brave named Naofumi Iwamine who went on missions with him.

Recently he had the idea of ​​establishing a guild.

With the stability of the territory, the possible arrival of foreign people in the future, and the need to cope with the future development of the territory, it will become increasingly inefficient for the family to manage all activities within the directly governed territory.

By granting guild franchises to merchants, craftsmen, or adventurer organizations, while allowing them a certain degree of autonomy, the Medici Territory can gain greater benefits.

Among them, he planned to start with the Adventurer's Guild. The biodiversity in the Medici Territory was too complicated, and an Adventurer's Guild must be formed to hire professional adventurers to clear out the wild beasts and monsters that appeared everywhere like NPCs and could not be completely killed.

In order to attract foreign caravans, there must be at least a relatively safe transportation environment, and an organization such as the Adventurer's Guild that specializes in recruiting adventurers is indispensable.

"Oh? Actually, there is no conflict in this regard. Of course you can take on goblin commissions part-time, but don't you think it would be better to have other adventurers to help you? Your strength alone is limited." Green said with a smile. After observation, he found that Goblin Slayer was a very upright person, and as an outsider, many things were more convenient for him.

Most importantly, he is ruthless, which makes him particularly suitable for the role of sheriff.

"Please allow me to refuse. I am not good at managing a guild, and I have never served as a sheriff." Goblin Slayer refused without hesitation.

He just wanted to kill goblins quietly. He needed adventurer teammates, but this was different from forming an adventurer's guild.

"Is that so? That's a shame. Is that really not possible?"

This shameless behavior of Goblin Slayer undoubtedly caused many people to glare at him. Nowadays, the bestowal of favors by superiors on inferiors is an honor, and repeated refusal will be regarded as a provocation.

Because generally speaking, nobles would consider their reputation and give up if the invitation fails once, but unfortunately he met a shameless lord.

"Hey! Are you a little too arrogant?"

"You think you're the only one capable of doing this, right? You're so shameless."

An officer sitting next to him complained that he also wanted to be a sheriff. Even if he just completed his duties honestly, he could still use his position to do small things to profit for himself. Lord Green condoned relatively minor corruption.

After all, it can't be found out.

"No expression can be seen under the Brother Slayer's mask, and no one knows what he is thinking.

Many people were becoming increasingly annoyed with him, and some of the more straightforward ones even started to curse at him. However, he still stood there motionless, staring at the lord, and it seemed that he was determined to resist to the end.

"How about this, you don't need to get involved in the Adventurer's Guild's affairs. I'll find someone else to help."

"But you should take the position of sheriff. Don't be so quick to refuse. You also need help in exterminating the goblins, don't you?" Green looked at the Goblin Slayer in heavy armor with a smile. He admired this armored man more and more.

The head is really iron, quite pure.

The president of the Adventurer's Guild is no small figure and has some say in the territory. The sheriff of Lonely Mountain City has direct access to the top and can be directly promoted to the top of the Medici family. How could he refuse such a good thing?

He is really a very pure person. The only thing on his mind is killing goblins. It would be a pity not to keep such a person.

For stubborn people, you need to change the way you express yourself.

"Yes." Faced with the lord's persuasion, the Goblin Slayer felt a little embarrassed. To be honest, he didn't want to do this. If he offended the lord, it might be difficult to get help from the Medici family to strangle the goblins.

To be honest, this period of time of strangling goblins was the easiest time for him. The territory of Medici was so large that he had the task of strangling goblins from time to time, which satisfied his desire to kill goblins.

Moreover, the treatment in the Medici territory was really good. He could send his damaged weapons and broken armor to the blacksmith shop for repair, and he no longer had to worry about food and accommodation, as the Medici family had thoughtfully prepared everything.

"I'll give you the necessary facilities. I'll organize a team of 150 sheriffs. If necessary, you can mobilize 50 of them to join you in strangling the goblins."

"How about you give them relevant training and organize special training for strangling goblins in the territory?"

Green chose bribery, because everyone has desires.

On the contrary, he felt that people like Goblin Slayer were easier to fool. Green had never considered becoming the president of the Adventurer's Guild. His original goal was to make Goblin Slayer the sheriff.

Lu Xun said it well, if you want to open the window, you have to lift the roof first.

"I can't do this." Goblin Slayer wavered for the first time. If there were so many people helping to strangle the goblins together, his task would be much easier.
