He seized the blacksmiths with his eyes and again for the second time this day he met another race of this planet the dwarfs known as the best artisans and blacksmiths in every novel he read and game he played but most importantly they always where dipected as stubborn, straightforward,love alcohol and wine but most importantly love innovation and anything that help in a fight.
So he really got lucky this even if his drawing and blueprint where lacking or defective as long he explained to them what he really wanted they will be able to make after all it's there special talent to be able build things the mechanics and physicist of any fantasy world.
But he couldn't understand why he got them after all a dwarf blacksmith is considered a strategic ressources even in a dukedom.
So he could only think of two reasons why he got them either they're something like a farewell gift from his grandfather or theirs something wrong with them.
He will try to prob them later but for now it's not a problem he should care or can do anything about it.
He said:' on behalf of my barrony I welcome you '
The the the blacksmiths returned the greetings saying' it's our honour to serve under a great lord such is you sir Crowley told us you need us w are happy to serve'.
Then Damien looked at them and said:'i called here for two things one to build a furnace and what we call for now the Bessemer converter which would helps us make steel on large quantities and a what I like to name a beehive oven to turn coal to coke through a process of heating in a low-oxygen environment which mean little air will get inside the oven and this will be the fuel that will ignite our bessmerr converter and be the corner stone of what a like to call heavy industry and seconde to make two weapons the first is a musket who use a chemical compound knowen as gunpowder to send a round iron or led bullet for around 150 to 250 metres and a seconde one who us the same principal but larger which will help us protect our home as I hope from today onwards to treat my barrony as your homeland and after living here for sometime I hope you will pass an invitation for your family to settle here '.
A dwarf came forwarded whom probably is the leader an spoke:' we will be Happy to work on this but first we will need to see a drawing or blueprint in other to determine if this furnace and converter I s doable and also for the weapons as a lot of people they made new weapons but in most time is just a different kind of known weapons '.
Hearing this Damien was delighted as if anything else this dwarfs seemed professional and has some degree of independent thinking which will help on the long run.
Damien took a deep breath and exhaled before giving the blueprints to the dwarves to study immediately they split into two groupes which showed that each member has preference those ho wanted to make weapons and the others who where more fascinated with industrial production.
After few hours who seemed to our protagonist and futur héro or Villan dépendre on who you ask like years .
The verdict came from the two Teames first a team consisted of two dwarves build like the one from the lord of the rings one named gimil and the others Hector's of which the later seemed older and the leader among the two .
He spoke and said" my lord my name is hector and my little brother here gimil after studying this Bessemer converter we think we can build it if giving the manpower and ressources to do it and probably it will work at worst we will need to make some small adjustments as for this beehive oven is simpler to make so no problem will face there'.
Hearing this he was delighted and happily said:' I will make sure you will get everything you need to build them and make them operational as fast as possible '.
They both answered ' it will be done your honour as meticulous and fast as possible '.
Then came the turn of the second team made up of three membres going from the apparent leader Heinkel,royeder and finaly Ludovic who seem to be the youngest of this groupe of dwarves so Heinkel started talking :' I am most honoured to be at your service my lord my name is Heinkel leader of this band of dwareves at my left is royeder and at my right the youngest among us Ludovic after much delebirition and studying that will could in the time frame we got the weapons could be build if everything is available in three to five days but as prototype as for upscaling production it will take some time to get familiar with process and the adjustments that will be made my lord'.
Damien was expecting this answer from them after all this are new weapons with a different kind of philosophy behind neither raw power used to attack or magic like magicien staff.
Then he said :' it's only reasonable to be slow at beginning but after it we will be able to upscale production as my goal is that every foot soldier to equipped with one'.
Hearing this the chief of blacksmith and the futur head engineer of the weapons weapons department of everything goes as planned was happy to hear this.
And answered ' thank you my lord for your understanding and if could excuse us so that we can study the blueprint more effectively '.
Damien :' yes you are excused I will be waiting for the for the good news'.
The dwarves executed what one my call a noble salute and lesft the study.
Then he turned Crowley: Crowley if you kindly meet with our acting chamberlain and accountant to tell him to start building the alchemist laboratory and a workshop for the blacksmiths behind the castle and provide the necessary resources for them and manpower for them to work and security to discuss the arrangements with Carl and to choose a part of city to become the industrial zone where to build the the furnace and the Bessemer converter with in mind future enlargement and other industries I hope you will supervise the work and alert when either the alchemist has finished with the formulas or when the blacksmiths have built a prototype for the weapons or they finish building the furnist and the Bessemer converter, ah before the ask the kitchen to sent me a fresh bottle of blood a feel like the bottleneck to mid level knight is loosened '.
Then the old butler with eyes fileed with astonishments and a pride like the one a father my feel when his son succeeded he told you:' it will be done young master as you order' then he walked out few minutes later he heard a knock on the door he said :' entre'.
A maid come in salute him and put the bottle of fresh blood and glass on the desk and said to you with a low voice: 'my lord do you need anything else '.
He said as he was impatiened torifine and breakthrough the bottleneck to mid level knight:' no you can go and expect for Crawley no-one can come to disturb me okay'
She said I. Hurry' yes my lord' and left while closing the door.
If anyone entered the room and saw his face it was like looking at a white pale demon from hell his where crimson red his fangs where all out and look en his that of a predator look at his prey he fastely gulped the blood directly from the bottle then sit in the lotus position and started refining it and after an unknown période of time he felt a crack power run widely in his veins like a running steed out of contrôle in the wild and felt a sensation like he could crash the world but he knew this was just an illusion.
any decent mid level knight creatures can beat him after all he didn't even test the capabilities of his body and neither his bloodline powers or magical powers he really should start on path of magician while he cultivated both the knight and magician path at same time when fe refined power he could fell that his control on it is sluggish at best so he should slow down a bit to train his body and skills as that would give him another layer of protection .
