the lower mold, and the buckle was removed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The loud bang made the blacksmiths blink uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But everyone was still excited, crowding forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the upper mold rose, Bard clamped the iron plate out again, and the plate had completely transformed into the shape of a chest armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Amazing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young blacksmith’s face turned bright red, shouting loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Luo De with eyes full of worship,

you learn about this machine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, my lord!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blacksmiths’ loud voices made Luo De’s ears ache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the young apprentices, who were as excited as if they had seen a bride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De quickly pulled Bard aside, letting Hammer arrange for these blacksmiths to try and learn about the machines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These tasks will be handed over to the ordinary apprentices in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De instructed Bard, \"You’ll be mainly responsible for the details and teaching the apprentices how to rivet and join the plate armor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, my lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bard nodded in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also knew that these were the things he could do that others couldn’t at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De looked at Bard, who had a serious face, and with a smile asked, \"So, when can the fifty sets of plate armor be ready?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you can prepare the molds for the other types of plate armor...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bard glanced at Hammer, who was busy at the press, and thought, \"We can make fifty sets in a week.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De liked this kind of answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he saw some light at the end of the tunnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excited, Luo De waved his big hand and promised:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next, I’ll add two more production lines to the blacksmith

armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Pine Ridge was already warm, but the edge of Razor Plain was still stormy with snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein didn’t mind, standing in front of the barren mountain, squinting at this desolation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no plant life around, not even the pine trees commonly seen in the northern lands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stranger still, there were layers of snow on the mountain peak, but at the foot of the mountain were charred and iron-gray rocks with not a flake of snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This mountain seemed cursed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein frowned, a hint of unease creeping up inside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clutching his bow and arrow, he turned to Kael and said, \"Ask him, are we sure this is the place?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Snow Rabbit People, Kael, played with the snowball in his hands, walked over to the bowed Yakman, Alse, and began to communicate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Chris left Razor Plain, Kael stayed behind and joined Rein’s team to guide and translate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a round of exchange, Kael reported to Rein, \"Yes, their Holy Land is in that mountain ahead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His tribesmen are likely hiding inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is he sure we can just enter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein questioned, \"I mean, can we outsiders enter the Yak People’s Holy Land?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kael shrugged and inquired Alse, \"Your Holy Land, can outsiders enter? Are there any taboos?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yakman Alse stopped, slowly turned around, his tall figure blocking the wind and snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scratched his head, a few flakes of snow falling from his fur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can enter...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was deep, like muffled thunder squeezed from the depths of his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kael conveyed Alse’s reply to Rein.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let’s go, let him lead the way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein turned and waved to everyone, and the hunting party immediately followed Alse’s footsteps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After climbing over the hill, Alse stopped halfway up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Holy Land is inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed to a dark cave opening on the distant mountain wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein looked along his gesture, the cave mouth like a giant beast’s mouth, deep and unfathomable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let’s go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein urged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alse stepped forward again, leading the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein felt the air was filled with a faint strange smell, pungent yet indescribable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smell was like rotten eggs mixed with burnt wood, infiltrating the nostrils, making the throat itch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they got closer to the cave, the strange smell grew stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein furrowed his brow, disliking the scent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others noticed the odor too and couldn’t help but cover their noses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein glanced at Kael, seeing him wrinkle his nose, clearly uncomfortable with the smell as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is that smell?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kael couldn’t help but ask Alse, the Yakman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alse scratched his head, grinning,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The smell of the Holy Land.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a hint of inexplicable pride in Alse’s tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein was a bit speechless, not asking further but drew an arrow, holding it ready for any sudden circumstances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cave passage sloped downwards, underfoot were rocks and some sharp small stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein was amazed, for he saw water occasionally dripping from the walls, and also heard the sound of water droplets falling from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein instructed his men to light torches, illuminating the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they went deeper, the air began to feel stuffy and warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white breath from their mouths no longer condensed into mist as they breathed, and the air even felt somewhat humid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observant Rein noticed tiny white plants growing on the cave walls—something he did not recognize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding rock walls had many honeycomb-like holes, from which warm gusts of wind blew, carrying a strong pungent odor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cave grew hotter, sweat gradually appearing on Rein’s forehead, prompting him to undo his cloak’s clasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clang, clang, clang...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of metal striking came from within the cave, and Alse’s face lit up with joy,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My tribesmen!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1490,"2026-05-30T15:19:45.195Z","2026-06-01T04:31:34.172Z",1,"novelbin.me","7b96ff36e4a667c3be77b854764623f377c2224e9bbd4655e86d16b6115a5a3b","farming-with-entries-from-lord-to-emperor-chapter-305","farming-with-entries-from-lord-to-emperor-chapter-303",776,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffarming-with-entries-from-lord-to-emperor-cover.jpg"]
