Chapter 123: Three Boxes
Chapter 123

"Rest easy. ”
After all, the Earl of Bolton is older, has been in politics for many years, and has seen more ups and downs, and he is still calm in the face of this matter.
I saw him say slowly: "It's a good thing that the king is enterprising, and I also know what he did, saying that he summoned those alchemists into the palace and talked about something, in the final analysis, he is still very dissatisfied with the solidity of today's swords, armor and weapons, so there is such a thing." ”
"Now that the western border is in turmoil on the border, His Majesty the King is young, he doesn't understand the horror of war, and he acts with spirit, this is normal, and it is also natural to want to start with weapons, but, Magic Mountain, you should know that this is impossible, greatly improve the quality of swords? This kind of thing cannot be done by relying on numbers, you also know that it can't, so what is there to worry about? Just wait a few days, and when Your Majesty understands that all the attempts he has made are futile, he will naturally give up and insist. Or, if His Majesty is obsessed and spends too much time on this matter, then once the border war starts, the weapon consumption rate of the army in front accelerates, and there are not enough new weapons to replace him, he will feel panicked. Why don't you understand such a simple truth?"
Mo Shan was stunned, the fat on his body no longer trembled, and a pair of small eyes blinked.
I have to admit that Burton's words are very reasonable.
So, persuaded by Burton, he finally sat down again, but he said somewhat uncertainly: "What you said makes sense, but ...... What if, I mean what if...... Those alchemists really succeeded......"
Bolton waved his hand, like holding a wisdom bead, and said, "No ifs." ”
"No?"
"Of course not!"
Burton's tone was loud.
The magic mountain finally put his mind at ease, and a smile resurfaced on his face.
Only this time, the old military minister raised his head and looked from the door into the sky, looking at the tower in the palace.
For some reason, he always felt uneasy.
Even those things that are certain seem to become less certain......
……
……
The third time came, Zhang Xun was already very comfortable with Luke's body.
When he woke up, he found himself eating grapes.
Perhaps it was because they ate too many grapes in the Imperial Garden last time, which made the maids think that they had changed their appetite, so they presented many more bunches of grapes to their fruit bowls every day.
Behind him was Lancôme.
Lancôme was combing his hair, which was something that Zhang Xun took a while to react to.
Sitting on the soft slab, eating grapes, with some books in front of him, wearing simple robes, and a burst of fragrance came from behind him.
The scalp is very itchy, the wooden teeth with a comb run through the hair, Lancôme seems to have finished bathing not long ago, and there is the fragrance of a girl lingering with water vapor, Zhang Xun has never enjoyed this feeling of being served, so he enjoys it very much, squinting comfortably like a cat.
"Lancôme. ”
"Your Majesty, what's the matter?"
"Do you know what I like best about the world?"
Lancôme froze, her hand paused, and the familiar feeling came back to her.
Normal Luke wouldn't ask such a question.
"I don't know ......"
Zhang Xun sighed and said seriously: "What I am most satisfied with is that people in this world are not afraid of bathing, and there is no body odor." ”
Zhang Xun's words are sincere, in the books he has read, it is recorded that some countries in the Middle Ages were extremely afraid of bathing due to some strange reasons, so the body would rather not be wet for many years, which led to serious health problems, and of course, taste problems.
That's why spices are so developed over there.
It's a pity that Lancôme couldn't understand Zhang Xun's mood on the initiative, so he could only show his cuteness in confusion.
"Okay, time is tight and the task is heavy, how are the experiments of those alchemists doing?"
Zhang Xun asked.
"I don't know this yet, if there is news, someone should enter the palace to report it. ”
"yes, okay then, stop combing your hair, I think the briefing should be coming soon. Zhang Xun said lightly, got up and put on his clothes, and walked out.
He was still very concerned about the result, and his plan was fine, but the devil knew if that group of alchemists could do it well.
As a result, he had not been out for a short time when a waiter arrived.
"Your Majesty, Master Ruhr and several other royal alchemists have come to pay a visit. ”
Zhang Xun perked up and waved his hand: "Please!"
After a while, Zhang Xun saw Luer and the others again.
And this time, when he saw the irrepressible excitement on the faces of several alchemists, he secretly clenched his fists, knowing that things should be fine.
"Your Majesty! Good news!
Ruhl was already old, but at this time his face was ruddy and refreshed, as if he was young and strong, and he walked like a fly, and his whole person was full of joy.
"Oh, don't worry, master, say anything happy slowly. Zhang Xun said reservedly.
"Your Majesty! The method you said really succeed......ed! We really didn't think about it, we don't know what kind of great wisdom you have gained from the gods, although old Ruhl can't see the mystery of those proportions at all, but when the material is successfully refined, I will know it...... I knew ......"
Ruhl's beard flew up and down, and he danced excitedly, not caring that it was their King Majesty standing in front of him, and at this time, he was so overwhelmed by the joy of a craftsman that he was so confused that he was in tears.
And behind him, the two royal alchemists who are also quite old are also like Ruhl, and their excitement is overflowing.
When had the guards next to them seen such a scene, they were stunned for a moment, and they didn't understand what was going on with this group of alchemists.
Zhang Xun always smiled and said nothing, and when the emotions of several alchemists were almost vented, he said, "Hurry up and let me see what you have done." ”
"Yes, it's Your Majesty, those things are at the palace gate, please allow Your Majesty to move in. ”
Zhang Xun was slightly surprised, thinking that if it was some refined steel, he would not be stopped from taking it in.
Curious, he ordered the guards to move it, and in a few moments, three large boxes appeared on the land of the Imperial Garden.
Zhang Xun walked over curiously, opened the first box, and found that it was indeed a piece of refined steel inside.
Because of the lack of cutting ability, this piece of material is very ugly, but the alchemists next to him look at this black and ugly material with their eyes as if they are worshipping the true god.
"This is the material that has been refined according to your arrangement, it is extremely suitable for crafting weapons, although it looks inconspicuous, but I dare to say that this material is comparable to any place in the five countries, even if there are individuals, it is impossible to refine it through craftsmen!"
Ruhl's old eyes were glued to the piece of material, barely plucking it out.
"Good. ”
Zhang Xun nodded, didn't look more, but opened the second box.
?
This is a very flat and long box.
This time, he was stunned.
I saw that what was quietly placed in the box was a standard long sword that had been built, which was the shape of the long sword scheme provided by Lin Rong!
"You've got all the weapons built?"
Zhang Xun suddenly turned his head, he was pleasantly surprised, he thought that it would be good if these alchemists could create a steel sample that met the standards, but he never expected that in such a short time, they would be able to build all the weapons!
Old Ruer smiled proudly when he heard this, and said, "Your Majesty, we have dozens of top alchemists in the five countries, so many people working together, and with such good materials, it is not difficult to create a weapon!"
"But ......," Zhang Xun wondered, "I remember that I just wrote down the specific plan for building this weapon on paper, and I didn't say much about it." ”
Another alchemist said proudly: "Your Majesty, although those drawings don't look very different from the drawings in the five countries, but we have been alchemists for decades, we have drawings and designs, if we still can't create a finished product, what face do we have to answer your call?"
Zhang Xun looked at this group of people deeply several times, and finally couldn't help but sigh in his heart, after all, he looked down on the wisdom of this group of people too much, maybe the science of this world is far behind the blue star, but this does not mean that the wisdom of the people in this world is not as good as the human beings of the blue star.
Zhang Xun didn't go to get the sword.
Instead, the third chest was opened.
Sure enough, it was part of the blades of several pieces of armor.
Ruhl explained: "Your Majesty, we have basically understood the method of refining this armor, and we only need to connect these blades in series to become usable armor, but the silk thread in series has not been selected for the time being, and all of us want to present the best to you, so we can only show you these for the time being." ”
As he spoke, the alchemists bent down in shame.
Zhang Xun was silent.
But there was finally a real, happy smile on his face.
